Actor Felicity Huffman and 13 other people have agreed to plead guilty to participating in what prosecutors have called the largest college admissions scam uncovered in US history.
Huffman, who starred in Desperate Housewives, was among 33 parents charged in March with participating in the scheme designed to get children into universities including Yale, Georgetown and the University of Southern California.
Prosecutors on Monday (local time), as part of a plea deal, agreed to recommend a prison term at the “low end” of the four to 10 months Ms Huffman faces under federal sentencing guidelines.
She also agreed to pay a $20,000 fine and restitution.
Huffman, who is married to the actor William H. Macy, said in a statement she was “ashamed of the pain I have caused my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues and the educational community”.
Authorities said the scheme was overseen by California college admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer, who has pleaded guilty to facilitating the cheating scam and bribing coaches to present the parents’ children as fake athletic recruits.
Prosecutors said Huffman, 56, made a $15,000 contribution to Singer’s foundation in exchange for having an associate of Singer’s in 2017 secretly correct her daughter’s answers on a college entrance exam at a test centre Singer controlled.
Fellow actress Lori Loughlin, who featured on the sitcom Full House, and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are charged with paying $500,000 in bribes to get their two daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as crew recruits, even though neither participated in the sport.
They were not among those who agreed to plead guilty, and they have not publicly addressed the allegations.

A quotation template can provide the opportunity to extend a special offer to a number of different customers at the same time. A group quotation can easily be turned into a group order (when all of the customers accept the offer) or individual orders where single customers place orders.
A quotation template is created in a similar way as a normal quotation but the with the exception that the template is created in the screen Quotation Template and that you are not asked to choose one of your customers before you enter the products. Instead, you enter a text description of what the offer template contains. All payment and delivery terms are inherited directly from the customers who receive the offer. You can meanwhile attach various fixed texts to the quotation template using the Text tab for this. These will be attached to all quotations, orders and invoices that are generated via the template.
How do you create a quotation template?
1. Open the Quotation Registration screen by selecting the menu View - Sales/Invoice - Quotation Register from the main window in Mamut Business Software.
2. Choose Quotation Template from the drop-down list within the toolbar.
3. Click on the New button to create a new Template.
4. Select the Quotation Template radio button within the Create Quotation window.
5. Enter a description of the Quotation Template in the Template field and fill out the remaining fields.
This procedure is repeated until you have added all the products you want to include in the order.
1. Click on the New button below the Product Lines tab. If you know the product number enter it into the Product Number column to the left of the page and move to point 4.
2. If you do not know the product number of the product to be added, you can get an overview of your products by clicking on the button Show Product List.
3. Select the product you want to enter into the quotation template and click on Insert. If you wish to insert many products, check that that the box Close product window by clicking on Insert is unchecked. Select each of the products that belong within the quotation template and click on Insert to move each one into the quotation template form.
4. Once you have entered the order quantities and adjusted the prices, you can click on the printer icon to print the details in one of two formats: Quotation and Quotation Advanced. Ensure you use the correct filters to avoid many unwanted documents being produced.
The Quotation button should be used to print out an order based upon a quotation template. The quotation wizard will be started and guide you through the different stages to convert a quotation template into one or many orders.

Companies that follow a documented sales and marketing service level agreement (SLA) are 38% more likely to enjoy positive ROI from their efforts than those that do not. Effective SLAs create alignment and build accountability for all of the functions responsible for generating revenue.
I’m often brought in to work with companies who have historically experienced significant growth, but are seeing a degradation of that growth rate. They’ve gotten frustrated as they’ve tried many things to reignite growth, only to see temporary results (if they see results at all).
I start by conducting an assessment of their current approach and systems. One of the first things I ask about is how a lead progresses from interest through the pipeline and ultimately to revenue producing status. Right away I’m able to see a major cause of the problem.
It quickly becomes clear that there is no clarity or methodology behind how an indication of interest evolves into a bona fide sales opportunity, and ultimately to a customer/client. While there may be defined pipeline stages, there is no clear discipline and definition that determines precisely where a prospect is.
The problem with this is that it creates complexity, which is toxic to growing organizations. When there is no disciplined methodology there can be no alignment; and that means that the more success you have in your lead generation and sales efforts, the more complexity that is thrust upon everyone, making the job of growing even more difficult. This explains why organizations can’t sustain growth and why the bigger you get, the harder it is to continue to scale.
By contrast, those organizations that clearly define the process and utilize a disciplined approach to manage their demand generation processes create alignment and manage the complexity that otherwise kills growth efforts. It creates leverage allowing companies to sustain growth. The reality is that the faster you grow, the easier it is to manage the process and growth becomes self-sustaining.
It is for this reason that SLAs have such a prominent effect on business performance. A crucial part of an SLA is clearly defining the lifecycle a lead goes through on the buying journey. Creating clear definitions allows marketing and sales to work together in cultivating prospects further down the funnel.
A lead is simply a name that has entered our database that we haven’t been able to sort to another status of our lifecycle. For example, someone who has subscribed to this blog but has only left an email address that prevents us from identifying what company they’re with would be in this category. Our goal with leads is to move them to another category as quickly as we can, “get ‘em up or get ‘em out” is our battle cry here.
This is where we move leads that clearly don’t fit our profile and clearly don’t represent an opportunity for us. Students, companies that are clearly too small as well as companies that are too big are examples of leads that fall into our DQ’d bucket.
A law of lead management is that you should always qualify the company, not the contact. It’s not at all unusual that the “wrong” person from a “right” company is the first to enter our database, typically by downloading something. We’re not ready to call this a MQL until we have at least confirmed who the “right” person is and gotten a sense of openness to engage in conversation.
Even when the “right” person is the one to enter our database, we don’t believe that just because someone downloaded our middle funnel white paper that it means they want to engage in any type of conversation with us. Until we get that, we define the lead only as qualified.
The goal here is to get engagement with this lead population. When the lead is the right person, our approach is very direct. When the lead is not the right person, we’re nurturing and reaching out to them with a primary goal of getting a strong introduction to the right person.
This is the point where, for lack of a better word, a heavier set of qualification comes into play. It’s also where the definition builds upon itself going forward. For a lead to be classified as an MQL, we must know that we’re dealing with someone who has authority (the “a” in our sales qualified lead (SQL) definition).
In addition to authority, we’re also digging deeper to ensure that there is a fit. Fit is an area that deepens as a lead moves through their lifecycle. At the qualified stage, we’re basically testing to ensure that a lead is not a total mismatch, here we’re testing for high probability.
The last attribute of this stage is engagement. We’re looking for an openness to engage in an issue. This often means being open to a conversation – this is the key focus for high-value sales development reps – but depending upon what you’re selling and how you’re selling it, it doesn’t always have to be an actual conversation.
One last point; we’re not necessarily looking for need or pain at this stage. Our marketing process is designed to deliver our commercial teaching point of view, which will educate them on the problem and build the need.
Authority, fit and engagement are the three criteria of an MQL.
SQLs are often referred to as sales ready leads, and that’s a great description for them. An SQL is ready for a salesperson to take over and manage the process. Note that a SQL, or sales ready lead, is not a synonym for an order ready lead. It means that the lead has been properly positioned for your defined sales process to take hold.
Authority – We want to be sure that we’re talking to the right person, capable of causing change.
Need – At this stage, we need to be able to identify a primary need. Now this need is often a symptom of a deeper problem, and it’s the raw material for the sales team to demonstrate value.
Understanding – We want to be sure that the lead has a basic understanding of our value proposition and the process we will follow.
Fit – At this point, we want to be sure that the lead fits our target profile.
Note that budget and timing are not part of our SQL definition. Consider that 48% of buyers, surveyed by DemandGen Report, said that a complex B2B purchase was initially unbudgeted, and that a further 14% said the budget was determined after soliciting multiple bids. This means that 62% of purchases were made without a budget in place.
Additionally, a good sales process teaches the prospect more about their problem and more about the impact of not solving their problems. It’s not at all unusual that I begin a sales process with someone who has not allocated adequate resources for my solution, but as the process progressed, the case for more resources was made.
Timing is also directly related to how someone is defining a problem. The best way to speed up a decision is to get your prospect to understand the total cost of their problem.
The last lifecycle stage before becoming a customer is opportunity. This means that the lead has officially entered the sales pipeline. For an SQL to become an opportunity there must be agreement from the prospect that they will openly and willingly engage in the sales process you’ve developed (you do have a defined, value creative process, don’t you?), and the salesperson makes the statement that this is the right time and the right company to pursue.
When your lead lifecycle process is clearly defined, you can then create the protocols that align marketing’s actions with sales’ actions, increasing the likelihood of closing the business and shortening the sales cycle.

RENO, NEV. — When Alvin E. Scolari named his company Ray Heating Products and Superior Sheet Metal in 1950, he thought that the name would show his customers just how up-to-date his business was.
That’s because, unlike many contracting companies, Ray was not named after its founder or a family member. Scolari named his new company after a cutting-edge product line manufactured by Ray Burner Co. of Lancaster, Pa., and San Francisco.
Times, customers and markets change. A name that had been chosen to demonstrate a company’s sophistication turned into a hindrance in recent years as the Reno market exploded and many of the contractor’s customers changed with it.
In fact, Ray Heating Products itself became RHP Mechanical Systems. During a strategic planning session in 1999, Steve Scolari and 10 of his top people decided that the new name better reflects the customer base that had grown beyond its residential roots to largely commercial and industrial accounts.
Those services include HVAC, plumbing, hydronic and radiant heating, process piping, mechanical service, architectural sheet metal, building automation systems, mechanical system cleaning, design/build, professional engineering staff, and automated management and design service support. The company strives to be a single source for its customers, Scolari said.
The company maintains a fully automated sheet metal and pipe fabrication facility with more than 20,000 sq. ft. of fab shop and 25,000 sq. ft. of office and dry storage.
RHP employs 220 people including 165 commercial/industrial HVAC and piping tradesmen and four graduate mechanical engineers on staff. Its mechanical service division has a crew of 40 factory-trained techs. The company has more than 100 trucks in its fleet and does jobs within a 200-mile radius of Reno.
Today, residential new construction and service work comprises about 15% of RHP’s $27 million in annual revenue. That includes plumbing and radiant heating jobs on custom homes near Lake Tahoe, which actually are handled by the commercial division due to their size and complicated systems.
Nonresidential service makes up another 15%; architectural sheet metal and specialty fabrication account for 5%.
The remainder of the business is made up of commercial and industrial projects with 60% being design/build. The varied customer base includes hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, schools, hotels and resorts, restaurants, stadiums, bowling alleys, wine storage facilities, distribution centers, and, of course, casinos.
When Steve Scolari joined the 17-year-old company in 1967, Ray Heating Products was doing mostly residential, light commercial and school work. Favorable tax laws on stocking inventory turned Reno into a distribution hub for the Western United States. Legalized gambling meant a thriving market for casinos, which really took off in 1978 when MGM built what is now the Reno Hilton, Scolari said.
Over the years, an increasing number of out-of-town investors came into Reno in need of a mechanical contractor that could install complex systems, Scolari said. The Ray name often threw these potential customers because they thought that a company with a name like that might not be able to handle the job.
Changing a company’s name, however, is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Redoing the lettering on 100 trucks as well as the signs on buildings, stationery and business cards are just part of the problem.
“Branding has been challenging because of the age of the company in residential service,” Scolari said. “Ray Heating Products was well-respected when we changed the name. Some of our older residential customers were confused when we changed and wondered if they’d get the same quality. That’s understandable because there’s trust in your heating and air conditioning guy.
The name change four years ago was part of a long-term strategic plan, which also included modernization of facilities, the addition of plumbing and piping, revenue goals and training models for continuing education for people in the field.
“We’ve completed everything we set out to do,” Scolari said.
The next five-year plan, due out later this year, will address succession issues, new marketing tools, and adding more services to RHP’s toolbox for commercial and residential customers, he said.

If you are convicted of drunk driving, your DWI charge is going to be a part of your permanent record. What does this mean? It means you will now have a criminal record that can show up in background checks that are run on you when you try to find a place to live, work, or volunteer. A DWI also shows up on your driving record, affecting your insurance costs. If you are charged again, the record of the previous drunk driving convictions can also result in much harsher penalties the second or subsequent time you end up in court.
Because of the profound consequences DWI can have on your record, you want to find ways to try to avoid conviction or minimize the damage. A Valdosta DUI lawyer can explain the impact of a DWI on your record and can help you to explore ways to try to keep a clean record or limit the fallout from a guilty verdict. Contact an attorney for help as soon as you are arrested in order to protect your reputation.
A drunk driving conviction on your criminal record usually shows up as a misdemeanor charge, although it is possible you could be charged with a felony in certain situations, such as when accidents happen while impaired. Misdemeanor convictions can harm future opportunities, from admission to educational institutions to access to employment or volunteer jobs.
A DUI on your driving record can also result in the need for special, and costly, auto insurance and can mean you aren't allowed to drive for a living or operate a company car. Depending upon the nature of your charges, the chance to obtain or maintain a professional license or commercial driver's license could also be at risk.
To avoid the long-lasting impact of a drunk driving conviction on your record, you need to fight the charges when arrested. Do not assume that you can get your records sealed or expunged later, as this is not always possible. You should also not assume that a DUI when underage won't show up on your record of affect future opportunities, as this is not always the case.
How Can You Protect Your Record?
Working with an attorney to get DUI charges dropped or to get an acquittal can be the best way to keep your record clear. Your attorney can help you explore a variety of ways to make it impossible for prosecutors to win a guilty verdict by proving beyond a reasonable doubt that you broke Georgia's drunk driving laws. From having evidence kept out of court because of constitutional violations, to raising questions about the accuracy of chemical testing, there are legal strategies you can use to secure an acquittal in many DUI cases.
Other alternatives to protecting your record can include exploring the possibility of pre-trial diversion programs and negotiating a plea deal with prosecutors that could involve admitting guilt to a lesser crime.
An experienced DUI attorney can provide you with essential advice in deciding what strategic response to your drunk driving charges is going to be best to try and protect your record.

The reforms enacted as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) were intended to foster competition and choice in the individual health insurance market. This week, the Kaiser Family Foundation released an analysis that suggests competition among insurance plans may be no better today than it was this time two years ago.
In order to analyze “competition,” Kaiser took a comparative look at insurer market share in seven states that have released enrollment data from their state-run exchanges. Their analysis found that competition was actually considerably better than in 2012 in New York and California, but in Connecticut and Washington, competition was actually worse – with fewer insurers offering plans than in 2012.
These early results are obviously just a snapshot in time and not representative of the country at large. Additionally, time will tell how insurers react to this rocky first year in 2015 and beyond, but with everyone clamoring for fodder about how well/not well the law is performing, this new information certainly adds a twist.

What is it that makes the films of Claire Denis so unique? Part of the magic is that it’s near-impossible to second-guess her impulses as an artist. There’s an alchemy at work. She employs a formula so complex, that even if we uncovered it we likely wouldn’t be able to comprehend it.
Yet one aspect does stand out, and that is her interest in using the camera to transmit tactile feeling, to stimulate the senses with her sublime audio visual offerings.
Inspired by this observation, video essayist Luís Azevedo filters her work through one of the five senses: touch, taste, sound, smell and sight. Welcome to the sensual world of Claire Denis.
The script for this video was partly extracted from Little White Lies 79: The High Life issue – on sale now. Watch below and subscribe to our YouTube channel for more great video essays.

Following the first success story that happened with Project Jofeh with the Ahliyaah School for girls, we have decided to kick-off a fundraiser with a different style, through a Bake-Sale. Although the idea is amazing and means that many people would get involved in the baking of the goodies and eventually others will enjoy eating them while pitching in the prices of the food for a better cause!
Personally I am both happy and disappointed, it’s a bitter sweet feeling. I am happy because I have witnessed the success of bake sales at NYIT Jordan for the past three years, usually raising funds for the King Hussein Cancer Foundation via Bake Sales, yet am disappointed that for the past month Nadeen Rizik and myself have been trying to raise awareness about project jofeh (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=169190879778652&index=1) yet have failed to attract many people! Originally we we’re looking for people to donate canned food and blankets, but it seems to me that although a few have taken up the initiative many have just ignored it.
The Student council president Anas Zoubi has come to our office this morning, and was fully disappointed by his latest visit this weekend to Souf Camp (Mokhayam Souf in Jerash) where he witnessed what it’s really like to live under the poverty line in Jordan and be forgotten by anyone by living in such a community. He decided that he wants to make a difference, and hence we have joined forces to raise funds for both Souf Camp and Project Jofeh via a bake sale.
The reason we have chosen a bake sale is because it seems that many people would only “donate” if their getting the value back of their “donations” – which seems to make a lot of sense because all of the NYITJordan fundraisers where via events, this includes “Talent Shows”, “Eid & Christmas Bazaars” and “Bake Sales” and they were very successful! But why is it that we think this way?! Do you really have to “buy something” for you to pitch into a donation as small as one Jordanian dinar?!
I really hope I’m mistaken, but I would really like to see more people give back to our community! If everyone out there thinks “Hey, someone is doing it, so why should I?” then we’re never going to be moving forward, as a matter of fact that’s how donations and reaching out ends up being a huge mishap.
I urge each and every one of you out there to make a difference, whether you’re an NYIT Student or not! A blanket or a bag of rice can make a huge difference in a family’s life. You can also donate your skills, if you enjoy baking drop off your goodies to NYIT University on Sunday the 12th of December, which will be sold to raise cash for Souf Refugee Camp and Project Jofeh!
I think what we need to work on is reinventing the whole culture of charity and donations.

Is the US facing Flu-mageddon?
Update, 14 January 2013: New information shows the rate of hospitalisation for flu has gone up to 13 per 100,000, suggesting illness could be somewhat more severe this year. Case numbers, however, are falling.
Flu season has come early to the US this winter, and hospitals in many cities are overwhelmed by the surge in cases. Boston has declared a public health emergency, and Google Flu Trends, which monitors the prevalence of certain search terms to track the disease, shows the US topping the world. Ominous news coverage shows emergency rooms overflowing. Just how worried should we be?
The flu season in the northern hemisphere falls anytime between October and May, but usually peaks in February. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, flu activity in the US started picking up in November and hit its stride in December, but that is hardly unprecedented – in 2010 the UK’s flu season started in December.
Last year’s US flu season, which started in March, was very mild. This year, the viruses are largely the same, although according to the CDC their prevalence is different – a strain that was common last season is rare this time around, for example. However, the disease they cause seems no worse – both this year and last, around 8 per 100,000 cases are severe enough to need hospitalisation, although this year’s figures might be affected by a time lag in reporting hospitalised cases, says Lone Simonsen of George Washington University – who is down with flu.
Is this really the worst flu season in years, then?
Hardly, according to CDC records. So far, the rise in cases looks a lot like the 2007-2008 season, which was classed as “moderately severe” – and nothing like the first wave of the H1N1 “swine flu” pandemic of 2009 (see graph). Case numbers could keep climbing, but so far seasoned flu watchers are not betting on anything unusual. “Severe flu causes a lot more deaths than what we have seen so far this year,” says flu epidemiologist Mike Osterholm of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
So why do things seem so bad?
One reason is that case numbers have risen fast. The US calculates those numbers by monitoring cases that turn up at designated “sentinel” clinics across the country. Last year the number of cases the clinics saw peaked at a little more than half the number of cases they are already seeing now, over roughly the same time. That doesn’t mean the total number of cases by the epidemic’s end will necessarily be greater this year than in previous years, however; cases may also fall off quickly. Or they may not – an apparent drop in cases reported last week by the CDC could be because some sentinel clinics did not report over the New Year’s holiday.
“Rule Number 1 of Flu Club: Never predict how a season will play out until it is over!” warns Jake Dunning at Imperial College London. Regardless of how the rest of the flu season turns out, the initial sharp increase in cases causes its own problems, overwhelming healthcare systems for a time and causing knock-on problems as other patients are put on hold.
Is that why we are seeing beds in hallways and tents outside US hospitals?
Yes. “In previous decades hospitals kept excess capacity, so if there was any overflow, it showed things were really bad,” says Osterholm. Now, he says, financial cutbacks mean there is no such surge capacity: “every hospital bed is filled 24/7.” So overflow happens more readily.
There’s little cause for concern, then?
Not so fast. What the flu season is really showing, fears Herrmann, is that efforts to bolster the US’s capacity to respond to public health disasters, prompted by the terrorist attacks in 2001 and hurricane Katrina in 2005, have been hit over the past four years by financial cutbacks. The US Institute of Medicine’s forum on public health preparedness for catastrophes is meeting this week to discuss how to improve hospitals’ preparedness for disasters – “or,” says Herrmann, “just the flu season”.

Comfy spring clothes We checked the weather report and were excited to see that it’s going to be warmer than the snow we have in Europe at the moment. No winter coats for us.
Suitable shoes We know that there will be plenty of walking and standing, possibly some skipping too (depends on our mood), super comfy shoes are one of our “must-have” items!
DEODORANT The days at the conference will be long, so we want to smell our best at all times!
Toothbrush and toothpaste We don’t want to scare any of our booth visitors off and plan on showing off our pearly whites as much as possible.
Pen and paper, or tablet This depends how you like to take notes, but as this is an EdTech conference, we prefer our tablets.
Business cards We want to be able to stay in touch after the conference, we hope you will remember to bring yours too :).
Laptop, Power-strips and converters At booth #356, you’ll have an opportunity to register for free antivirus licenses for your school, so laptops and accessories are essential for us! We also need to stay connected with our customers and the office back in Prague (sadly work doesn’t stop whilst we’re in Florida!).
Camera We want to document the event so that we can brag to our colleagues about how awesome FETC was, as well as share with our followers on social media (@avast_education). You may want to bring one to take part in the photowalk record attempt on the Wednesday!
Let us know if you think we are missing anything from our list via Twitter: @avast_education.
We wish you safe travels and look forward to meeting you at FETC 2014!

Fifteen-year-old Mary Stuart has been living in a convent in France since age nine in anticipation of her marriage to Francis, heir to the throne of France. After a failed attempt to poison her, Mary is brought to the French court for safety, where she is reunited with her handmaidens and childhood companions Greer, Kenna, Lola and Aylee. At court, Mary discovers that her marriage isn't assured, due to ever-changing politics and Francis' doubts over the wisdom of a Scottish alliance. Mary also catches the eye of Francis' half-brother Bash, son of King Henry with his mistress, Diane de Poitiers. When Queen Catherine's adviser, Nostradamus, has a vision that Francis's impending marriage will cost him his life, she arranges for Mary to be drugged and raped by Colin (Ashley Charles), a Scot betrothed to Lola. Mary is warned ahead of time by an unknown figure to not drink the drugged wine, and so manages to stop Colin. Before she can question him, Colin is executed by order of the King and Queen.

Every Christmas season brings back a flood of memories for most of us. Some recollections make us smile while others are tinged with sadness, especially after parents, relatives and close friends no longer are with us.
Some of our favorite remembrances involve our less than enthusiastic young children — and me — playing Christmas carols for grandparents on Christmas Eve. The instrumentation was a little weird: two trumpets, jingle bells, drums and flute. Our three boys eventually stopped studying music, which left our daughter the solo task of playing carols on the piano annually while her brothers snickered between their parent’s threatening glances. Our children also read holiday poems and glowing tributes written especially for each adult.
We’ll never forget that Christmas morning when a surprise guinea pig escaped from his ventilated gift box and climbed the Christmas tree to flee from the dog and cat in hot pursuit through the remaining presents. And we took movies the year our children tried out new roller skates on the snowy driveway filming each of them outdo a sibling with spectacular Olympic-like slips and falls.
There is one year that was different from all the rest and it stands out in my mind. I call it “The Ghost of Christmas Past.” It has no connection to the fictional character in A Christmas Carol by English novelist Charles Dickens whose angelic vision is the first of three spirits to haunt Ebenezer Scrooge. Our ghost didn’t carry as much character building qualities as Dickens’ apparition who shows Scrooge scenes from his past around Christmas to demonstrate the necessity of changing his ways. Our ghoul was not as commendable.
The year was 1984. In June, a supernatural comedy film premiered written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. It was called Ghostbusters. The film stared Bill Murray, Aykroyd and Ramis as eccentric, former professors who set up a paranormal ghost removal shop in New York City. Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis co-stared as a client and her neighbor.
When the movie became a smash, HBO reportedly had an exclusive deal with Columbia Pictures for broadcast rights. If my memory serves me correctly, Ghostbusters first showing on television was Christmas Eve 1984.
When we got home from church our teenagers couldn’t wait to get into their pajamas and play the movie. I reluctantly put the strains of “O Little Town of Bethlehem” in the back of my mind as the Ghostbusters’ theme began.
You know what? My wife, Marty, and I actually enjoyed ourselves. It wasn’t our traditional Christmas Eve custom of sitting by the shimmering tree, sipping hot chocolate and Scotch, while our children were in their beds enjoying visions of who-knows-what dancing in their heads.
After Ghostbusters ended we all were too keyed up to go to bed so we started playing music. Actually, we began sharing music. Marty and I played a couple of hits from the 1950s and ‘60s and then our teens chose some of their favorite selections from the 1970s and early ‘80s. We also told stories of what we were doing when a particular song was popular and shared details about our respective generations.
It was well into Christmas morning when the last of us finally crashed into bed. But the whole experience – from watching Ghostbusters and sharing our music – brought us all closer together.
For a couple of years, we tried duplicating that music-sharing event but it never worked out like it did in 1984. We finally gave up the ghost, so to speak, and entrusted the experience to our bank of special Christmas memories.

Children’s response to going through the divorce is as varied as the kids themselves. Some have a very hard time with it while others seem to take it in stride. My son, who was four at the time of our divorce, took it quite well. He never showed signs of anger and seemed quite content. In fact, as an adult, he has remarked how he felt it was for the best and never regretted the divorce. He saw his dad and dad’s family often and everyone loved on him, I am grateful that he just never wished it hadn’t happened. We moved in with my mom so he got to live with his grandma and that was a plus.
On the other hand, I have witnessed just the opposite in other families. Years after the divorce, some kids may still be grieving the loss of their family. Now grieving is important but if you get stuck there, that’s when some problems can occur.
Just like adults, kids will have a range of emotions about the divorce. Some days will be easier than others. It is considered normal for kids to experience anger, anxiety and mild depression. Let’s look at these individually.
Anger: Your kids may be plain ol’ angry that their family is not what it once was. They may not understand and even if they do, they are still angry. Their world is different now. They may feel anger at you and your spouse for not making your marriage work out somehow. Their sense of what is normal has been impacted. They may have underlying feelings of abandonment. So they are angry.
Anxiety: It is quite normal for kids to feel uneasy or worried about the future. They may be full of questions concerning the future. How will it all work out? Will I be okay? Will Mom and Dad still love me? Will I get to have time with both of them? They are experiencing some big changes in their life and feeling some agitation and perhaps some concern is certainly understandable.
Mild Depression: Sadness about the divorce coupled with hopelessness and helplessness can lead to mild depression. Encouraging your kids with time, love and reassurance should prove to help them to heal. But if your child’s symptoms worsen or never seem to diminish, it may be necessary to seek professional help. As I stated, my son took our divorce quite well but as a safeguard to future problems, I sought professional help for him. I think it helped to ward off any future ill effects. There is absolutely no shame in seeking help for emotional wounds.
Now it will take some time for your kids to work through their issues about the divorce but you should see moderate improvement over time. One little guy I knew whose parents divorced when he was about three became very angry. He went from being a very mild child to erupting and crying over things that would not have bothered him before. When the anger did not subside after the time his parent thought it should, help was sought. Today that child is doing quite well.
But if things get worse and not better, it could be a sign that your child is suffering from depression. And divorce-related depression can happen even years after the divorce.
I recently coached, through Skype, a nine year old who was having sleep problems and she had stopped doing the things she formerly loved to do. She retreated from loved ones and social activities that she had enjoyed before. She was suffering from depression. We went through a book together and she was required to answer questions, which opened the door for our conversations. She at first did not want to do our sessions but soon came to the place of looking forward to our Skype times. She is a much happier child today and doing well in school. She was able to get out her fears and concerns and now she is back doing the things she loves and sleeping through the night. Sometimes kids just need a safe place to let out what is bothering them. Her parent was wise to address those symptoms before they moved to larger ones.
If you do see any of the above warning signs, please discuss them with your child’s doctor. Make their teacher aware of what is going on. And you may need to consult a Christian child therapist or coach for guidance in helping you to help your child. And of course the therapist or coach can help your child with specific problems. I believe that the whole person needs to be cared for when seeking help. We are made up of spirit, mind and body. Look for someone who understands this and can help all three parts of your child.
2 Corinthians 4:16 : Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

Marilyn and Marc tied the knot during their 310 Lakeside wedding in Downtown Orlando. Both from New York, the couple envisioned a city feel wedding with touches of black, white, and gold. Their theme radiated throughout the venue from the DIY floral wall that Marc’s incredible mother created by hand to the floral centerpiece arrangements set up by Marilyn’s bridesmaids.
310 Lakeside in Downtown Orlando was the picturesque venue for a city wedding. Set against the backdrop of Lake Eola, the two said their ‘I do’s’ on the quaint patio of the restaurant underneath the glowing sun.
The two actually met back in their home state of New York. Introduced through their best friends in 2001, the couple dated for several years until Marc popped the question one beautiful afternoon. True to Marc’s sweet nature and low key side, he asked Marilyn for her hand in marriage outside of their home. Marc loves that Marilyn understands him completely and Marilyn loves that Marc is incredibly patient and attentive.
Wishing these two an incredible life together!
What a beautiful wedding! The bride dress is so gorgeous and everything is so elegant and classy. Who would have thought you could find such a beautiful natural location in a Dowtown area, and it looks so perfect.
This Orlando bride and groom’s wedding photos turned out perfectly! I don’t see too many downtown weddings these days; I forget how beautiful the city can be. You’ve done a great job photographing their day and capturing these memories for them.
These newlyweds are a stunning couple! This was a beautiful downtown wedding session in Orlando, and their day was captured perfectly. I loved how serious yet fun the bridal party looked in these photographs, and the photographs of just the bride and groom were just gorgeous!
I love the smiling images from this wedding, but boy does this couple rock the serious smoldering look! What a beautiful Orlando venue. That flower wall at the altar is awesome. Everything about this wedding is stylish and elegant. And your gorgeous portraits captured it all!
Beautiful bride and groom. You captured a great story of their wedding in Orlando. Love the journalistic style approached on this wedding.
310 Lakeside was a perfect place for this couple to get married. I love her dress and their photos you took for them. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful couple.
You are such a talented wedding photographer! Great job capturing the love and natural moments between these two lovebirds!
Such a beautiful wedding in downtown Orlando! 310 Lakeside is the perfect place and that DIY floral wall is stunning! I love the wedding couple’s style and they look so happy together.

Rand will share his view on the search landscape 2017, explain what the election of Donald Trump means to site owners and most importantly provide you with the essential tactics that every marketer should embrace to be prepared for the changes.
B2B companies face problems unknown to most B2C companies. Keyword research for niche topics is challenging. Generating meaningful analysis out of small search volume is very difficult. An international domain strategy must be thoroughly thought through and implementing international website structures is far from easy. So which best practices will help avoid these B2B problems? You have to have a plan! In this session we will discuss how to approach these challenges and problems strategically.
Does the always-changing Google search results page have your head spinning? Time to undo the diziness. In this session, we will guide you through all the latest changes and tests showing up on Google, with a particular eye to what trends may be emerging that advanced SEOs should be aware of.
In the second part of this session we will zoom to the top spot in Google's search results and look at featured snippets, also known as "rich answers“. While nobody can tell you with 100% certainty how to get them, there are definitely some best practices to follow to attempt to grab this prime and highly coveted real estate, which can make a huge difference in driving quality traffic to your sites. Our speaker will present examples of featured snippets from across industries, explore several case studies and provide comprehensive SEO recommendations for getting Google to consider your content as a featured snippet for specific types of queries.
Google AdWords and Bing Ads have been launching a lot of updates and more are to come.These changes offer new possibilities, but they also raise many questions for advertisers. What should should your PPC strategy look like in a a cross device world? Will expanded text ads, responsive display ads, and cross-device remarketing only increase your costs or will you see a significant growth in ROI? Is it about time to question your existing structures and adapt them? In this session, Brad Geddes will explore these new options and devise new strategies for taking advantage of these changes and Larry Kim, will give you some unique insights, why some AdWords account are so much more successful (=Unicorn) than others, and how you too, can lift yourself way beyond the average.
Google Analytics reigns as a free, powerful platform for understanding the performance of your website(s).

At a time when smartphones shape the consumer journey from dawn to dusk, there is one mission-critical piece of marketing information that has gone largely overlooked - location. Location data drives mobile consumers to your doorstep via maps, apps, directories, and search engines. It drives engagement on mobile devices. It drives greater performance and efficiency in digital and social advertising. Discover if you're fully leveraging the full power of location in this engaging session led by Jeff Rohrs, author of AUDIENCE: Marketing in the Age of Subscribers, Fans & Followers.
You urgently need to contract for marketing services but your colleagues in the legal department are all involved in a big project and have no time for you. Sound familiar?

This workshop will provide you with the essential knowledge for legal security when negotiating contracts. We will also provide specific examples to cover the potential pitfalls when engaging marketing services.

Using customizers, AdWords ads can be adapted in real time, hence making them very attractive and highly relevant. And there are so many possibilities to use customizers to create dynamic ads: customized ads based on keywords on a big scale, using location-based elements, displaying real time information, and much more. At first glance this might seem complicated and only for the advanced search marketer. The reality is that ad customizers offer a huge potential that can be used with relatively little effort. In this session Martin Röttgerding will give guidelines on how to create, use, and launch dynamic build ads. He will also show concrete examples where you can and should use them. After you leave this session, dynamic ads will be a feature that you can use to supercharge your advertising campaigns.
Do 302 redirects produce link power? Or is this only the case with 301 redirects? Do canonicals have the same effect as 301 redirects? We know that Rank Brain is interpreting search queries. But maybe Rank Brain does much more, such as aggregating relevant ranking signals? Come to this session and learn from John Müller if the answer to these questions is True or False and what Google really thinks.

In this session, you'll learn how to target on the GDN with confidence, how to create targeted, relevant Gmail campaigns that click with users, and we will give you an overview of highly effective possibilities on YouTube such as TrueView Advertising and how to run influencer campaigns.
Every day we make decisions, most of them unconscious, following gut feelings. Data Driven Marketing was meant to be the end of gut feelings and help us base decisions that carry financial risks on reliable data. But advanced search marketers know you can pick and choose from literally hundreds of retrospective reports that say what you want to hear. So did you ever ask yourself how reliable your data actually is? Do you always know on which data aggregation level you are when generating data from the Search Console (and why the data varies so much)? Do you trust your reports blindly and are you aware your data often is massively incomplete? In this session we look at the most common mistakes made in analysis and reporting. Come to this session and ensure that your next reports are truly data driven and help your company be more successful.
In October, Google announced that the main index will no longer be the desktop, but the mobile index. Mobile devices drive a shift to voice search. AMP and Progressive Web Apps offer major performance increases. Apps are growing in importance. And, you need to decide between responsive or adaptive designs. With so many options, it’s hard to tell where to start. In this session Eric Enge, renowned digital marketing thought leader and Search Marketer of the Year at Landys awards at SMX East 2016, will show you how move forward and prosper!
Attribution so very important - and difficult - for every company, no matter which branch, no matter what size. But the challenges for companies that are striving to manage their marketing channels efficiently are huge: intra-channel, cross-channel, cross-device and research online - purchase offline (ROPO). Which attribution should I choose, how can I test whether it works better than what I have right now? How can attribution be implemented not only based on transactions, but focused on the client's lifetime value? How does dynamic attribution work and what are the requirements? These are only some of the questions that every Online Marketer has to ask himself. Oliver Borm, Advanced Performance Lead for Google in EMEA, focusses on attribution, web analytics and testing. In this keynote he will share his view of the attribution challenges we all face, as well as his approach to an efficient solution to manage marketing channels.
A big new customer wants to order but things need to move fast. You cannot wait for the deal to close, but the customer does not accept your contract template. Instead, he attaches his purchasing terms and conditions to the order. Is this a make or break? What is really important from a legal perspective when you negotiate with a big client? Which contract clauses can be discussed, which should not be touched? How can you deal with the more common client objections?
This workshop is designed for managing directors and key account managers of bigger agencies and online marketing specialists.
Wondering why your site suddenly disappeared from organic results? Want to prevent that from happening in the future? This session unearths link building worst practices that result in penalties, and shows you -- step-by-step -- how to avoid (or fix) them. You'll learn to identify what search engines consider manipulative behaviors that trigger penalties, including domain registration information, site structure, referring pages, and of course, improperly constructed links themselves.
What does the Search Console say? This question should be asked by every SEO, every day. But only a handful of SEOs use the full potential offered by the Search Console. Time to change that! In this session Marcus Tandler will show you how to master five important SEO tasks that will save a lot of time. And after you have learned how to gain all that valuable data, including CTR, Larry Kim will show you how the CTR Data you gain will be your next traffic booster.
Google AdWords offers innumerable optimization possibilities. That’s great on the one hand, but many things can go wrong, and for a long time without anybody noticing; payment methods don’t work anymore; ads show last year’s collection; targeted URLs lead to nowhere; budgets are exceeded; new competitors show up; remarketing lists are filled with wrong information – the potential for mistakes is huge. In addition, you really should be on top of all updates, to ensure you are not missing something important. Based on methods, checklists, scripts and tools you will learn how to secure top quality and avoid mistakes.
GTM is a such a useful tool, used by many to implement marketing tags and Google Analytics, and to integrate Tracking Pixels, such as Facebook or Google AdWords conversion cookies. But the Google Tag Manager can do so much more than standard tasks. In this session, we will show you how to integrate structured data, how to influence the Sitelinks Search Box and how to generate data that tells so much more than the bounce rate, like the search return rate of organic.
Based on an exclusive study conducted for SMX, Hanns will present the specifics of mobile SERPs, how mobile SERPs are different from desktop SERPs, how well websites work with both worlds and what you should take away from all of that. Norman will report on his experience at Zalando with client expectations, and discuss how (and if) Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) can support E-Commerce and if Progressive Web Apps (PWA) will become the rising star of the mobile universe. Attend this session and learn how to best deal with content on mobile sites.
Screw Best practice. Go beyond.
Best practice is boring. The e-commerce field is totally saturated with fierce competitors, all doing the same thing and, mostly, offering the same products. What are you doing to win the shopper’s attention? Join our workshop with product data experts Christian and Lena as they introduce three key ways that will help you create compelling product ads that break through the creative fatigue. Together they’ll explore the realms of cognitive commerce, compelling product images, as well as dynamic video ads. Calling all early adopters in performance marketing. This is some pretty innovative stuff not to be missed!
Nearly every year for the past decade has seen a significant rise in the volume of mobile search traffic, and now advertisers are seeing it overtake desktop volume across industries. Smart marketers know copying and pasting their desktop search campaigns is no longer a viable strategy; it's time to create a mobile specific strategy! In this session, Aaron Levy will explore how to build a sound mobile search strategy from the ground up. He will help you define personas at the outset and explore how their behavior differs in mobile relative to desktop. He'll use a breadth of data to show how a general mobile user tends to skew younger, more educated and more impulsive, and how you can use your own data to identify trends. Attendees will leave this session with a mobile playbook, empowering them to create a sound mobile strategy for their companies or clients.
SEO has always been half a science and half an art. We all love to try out new ideas and try to understand what makes the search engines tick, but it has always required a fair amount of guesswork and trying to speculate what the latest news from Google really means. However, with new software libraries and better technologies it is now becoming easier than ever to run proper SEO-focused tests and, for the first time, actually measure the impact that each SEO change has on our site. Tom will talk about some of the experiments he has been running at Distilled, the things he has learned, and how you can start running experiments yourself.
AdWords scripts can do so many things: run reports, manage bids, create ads, build entire campaigns and more.

Venice, Pigeon, Penguin – much has changed when it comes to local search. Google localizes more and more keywords even without location information. As a result, in some cities /areas you might rank on 5th position while in others you find yourself on position 95 or not even in the TOP 100. Most people are not aware this is happening and base their SEO strategies on keywords and ranking (essentially the right thing to do). But unfortunately they might be optimising based on faulty data. In this session we will show you how to recognize that a keyword has been localized and how you can find keywords that Google doesn’t.

When it comes to online marketing and specifically SEO, discussions can last forever. Technical SEO or Content SEO? Do we still need search ranking factor studies in the future?

Alexander Holl and Marcus Tandler will shed light into the dark with this Q&A keynote session and ask the questions that we always wanted to ask.
The glamorous price giving incl. champagne reception is taking place on the first evening of SMX Munich.
This year, the German Search Marketing Award, SEMY, after-party allies with the SMX after-party (SMX After Dark), at the “Wappenhalle”, to realize the full networking potential of these two top events. The SEMY starts at 6.30 pm and the SMX After Dark at 7.30 pm. Both events are included in the SEMY ticket.
Consumer behaviour is changing. Emerging and converging technologies, new platforms, and shifting economies are changing how we research, consume and spend. The way in which you think about markets, websites, purchase funnels and business needs to change, too, otherwise you risk being left behind. From driverless cars and 3D printing, to personal assistants and machine learning, attendance is a must for those who wish to arm themselves for the next revolution.
It’s mostly without intension, but many websites become huge. In most cases, these websites don’t deliver proportional value to the number of sites that are indexed. The reasons vary from internal linking without contemplation, faulty bot controls, and proliferating faceting. As a result, internal links are not weighted accurately, your crawl budget is way off, and the sites that really matter lose power. This is hardly a new problem but it applies to almost every site that is facetted and only very few understand the extent of the problem. In this session we will show you how to get this chaos under control. A special focus will be given to the crawling of big sites, logfile-analysis (where does the bot really pass and where should you use a red pencil), and the masking and automation of internal links (and why this is a terrible idea).
We are facing a massive acceleration of competition, an incredible growth of data volumes, and ever-improving algorithms. As a consequence, the classic rules of why and how online content is successful no longer apply. Organic search results are under massive pressure thanks to AMP, Knowledge Graph, Google Direct Answers and AdWords ads. Marcus Tober goes so far as to declare the end of traditional ranking factors. Instead, we are looking at a rise of Relevancy Factors, which may be completely different, depending on the subject and place. Using many examples, Marcus will explain how search engines evaluate topics differently based on machine learning and the enormous amounts of data and which content is relevant for which user intentions.
Getting the big authority sites to link to your content is a big challenge. But if you concentrate on great creativity and solid outreach, it is entirely possible to get coverage from high authority sites beyond your imagination. Lisa, one of the most renowned search marketers in Europe, will be sharing case studies of how her agency has got coverage from some of the biggest authority sites in the world. These are rare insights, so get ready for an inspirational session, that will have you holding on to your seats!
If you compete in a popular vertical, let RLSA Save the Day!
If you're an advertiser in a competitive vertical, we feel your pain! How's a PPC marketer going to drive increases in conversion volume while also driving down costs in this era of flat conversion rates and rising CPCs? You might think the golden age of PPC is behind us, yet the future has never been brighter. Creative PPC marketers are creating unusual integrated campaigns involving RLSA that reduce CPCs, while also increasing conversion rates. Skeptical? Come to this session and prepare to be persuaded that there's a better way to do paid search in competitive verticals.
It's complicated! In this keynote, Wil will describe how studying WHY people take action has lead him to abandon following Google Updates, Domain Authority, CTR curves, and got him back to something that hasn't changed a lot in hundreds of years...how to communicate in ways that build trust. And how this can be applied to the SERP. He'll share philosophy, case studies, and some tips on how you as well can start adopting a "people first" approach to optimization on Google.

Messenger systems are considered to be the business platform of the future and a lot of the discussions are about how this development will revolutionize business processes. Chatbots play a major role here. Automated text assistants will help us solve problems – from science questions, to purchases and travel bookings. In this session, we will have a closer look on how chatbots work and we'll look at two examples (sport information bot during the European Soccer Championship and Wetter.com) how chatbots are already in use by companies today.
Google’s Customer Match and Facebook’s Email Custom Audience were launched as game-changers, allowing advertisers to target users based on email addresses. This opened up new possibilities with ad messaging, bidding and landing pages and has been powerful for reactivating dormant buyers and email list unsubscribers for advertisers. And while this is a great opportunity for B2B companies, the legal department won’t let you enter this grey area in most cases. This session explores the challenges of Customer Match and Email Custom Audiences with building lists that meet minimum audience size requirements (particularly for B2C companies in vertical markets) and compares potential volume and value to the more established Remarketing Lists for Search Ads product, to give advertisers an idea of where the best value lies. In addition our lawyer, Dr. Martin Schirmbacher, will assess Custom Match and Facebook Email Custom Audiences from a legal perspective to help you rate the risks involved.

We are visual creatures. We eat first with our eyes, we love with our eyes, we become curious with our eyes. Our technology is adapting to us, to our very human drive to see everything. And that is why the future of search has a very visual component. With the rise of visual intelligence, could we see a niche that finally manages to eliminate the need for keywords?

SMX: Looking Back and Looking into the Future Session: What‘s Coming, What‘s Disappearing, What‘s Here to Stay?
Google Home, Answer-Box, AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) and HTTP/2, Expanded Text Ads, Responsive Display Ads, Cross-Device Remarketing, and so much more. It’s not easy to keep track of the important changes and to be on top of all the information that matters. In this session we bring you up to date and point out the changes you should be aware off since the last SMX Munich.
There are few truly concrete data sources in SEO. Logs are one of them, and there is no better way to understand how Google views your website than by digging through them. It's something we should all be doing! You can spot bugs as soon as they appear, see how fresh Google thinks your content is and understand the importance Google gives to different sections of your site. In this session Dominic will go through how to analyse them, powerfully and repeatably, without having to resort to expensive tools.
We all know that high quality, relevant content is key. But there are many different categories of „good“ content. The content that people search for, content that gets shared and liked, and content that generates links etc. These different categories are overlapping but they are not the same. In this session, Nikolaj will show you how to produce data driven content for your website structured by using an excel based framework. A framework that will help you put data from your keyword audits and link audits into play. The framework includes the different content goals and will help you to structure your content in a data driven way with the right priorities.
While AdWords are still dominant, the Bing Ads market share has grown up to 10,2% in Germany and more than 20% in the UK. While AdWords has amazing results for some marketers, others find that Bing Ads deliver a much higher ROI for them. In this session, we will discuss which network is potentially more effective for which player, how the users of the Bing Ad Networks are different from the users of the Google AdWords networks, and which target groups are particularly active in the respective networks. We will also show you how import AdWords campaigns into Bing and how to us external tools to maximise synergies from both accounts.
Growth is what most companies are striving for. And as every company that is growing knows, there are many challenges that come with it. Which (international) account structure is best for you? How can you manage it? What should the evolution from work scrappy - to getting things done - to the actual attribution and customer live time value look like? Let’s look at a Hypergrowth company. Machiel Schepers will give you insights on how to grow from a niche market and share what he and his team did well ... but also which mistakes they made on the way.
Did you have a good show? Great! After two days of thought leadership, meaningful insights and tactical tips, you’ll be sure to have your own list of top takeaways, favorite speakers and sessions. Of course, you couldn’t attend every session – but have no fear! In this session you’ll hear from our moderators what they found most valuable, as we recap the best information from the show and give you their opinion on how to prioritize the take aways.
Sessions are held in German.

In general, all persons who hold a bachelor’s or advanced degree from a regionally accredited school may register in graduate-level courses for graduate credit. Proof of a bachelor’s or higher degree is required.
Students may be admitted to a graduate degree program either in good standing or on a contingent basis. The admission status (e.g., "good standing" vs. "contingent") of all applicants from baccalaureate-granting institutions that don't employ traditional grading systems will be left to the judgment and recommendation of the graduate program to which the student is applying. Certain other special categories are established for persons not attempting to complete a degree at this institution. These special categories are "noncandidate for degree" and "guest transfer of credit."
Effective fall 2007, individuals who have earned bachelor degrees created in accordance with the European Higher Education Area (i.e., Bologna Process), or earned bachelor degrees from institutions engaged in a formal agreement with the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, will be considered admission eligible providing their academic performance in completing that degree is emblematic of future success in a graduate program (i.e., eligible to be admitted in "good standing").
Effective Fall 2017, individuals who have earned a 3-year bachelor's degree from a non-Bologna process (European Higher Education Area) university will be considered admission eligible upon satisfactory completion of an approved Master’s Bridge program.
If a department finds that a student lacks the proper academic background for graduate studies, it may specify that deficiencies be made up before the student completes a degree. In some cases, deficiencies may have to be made up by registering in undergraduate courses that do not count toward completion of a master's degree.
At least a 3.001 overall grade point average in all the graduate work previously completed at UW-Whitewater, with no grades of I or IP pending.
Any additional requirements set by individual departments or colleges for admission to specific degree programs.
A student who does not meet the requirements for admission in good standing may be admitted to a degree program with contingent admission after furnishing credible evidence of ability to do satisfactory graduate work.
Such credibility is determined by the admitting academic department or individual program coordinator, and could be a creditable postgraduate employment record; active service as a member of the U.S. military; a satisfactory score on the Graduate Record Examination, GMAT or Miller Analogies Test; or the successful completion of graduate work at a regionally accredited institution.
Students admitted under the terms of contingent admission must earn a GPA of 3.0 for the first nine graduate credits attempted, including repeated courses. Those failing to do so will be ineligible to take further graduate work in that degree program.
Persons attending another graduate school who wish to take graduate courses at UW-Whitewater and transfer them to that institution may do so. The request for guest matriculant status form is to be completed by an official of the graduate school to which the units are to be transferred. The form certifies that the student is attending the other institution and states the provisions for approval of the work taken at UW-Whitewater toward the degree at the other institution. Students may download the Request for Guest Matriculant Status form at http://www.uww.edu/gradstudies/ or contact the Graduate Studies Office.
UW-Whitewater undergraduate students with senior status may be allowed to complete up to nine graduate units at UW-Whitewater provided they have completed at least 90 semester units with at least a 2.75 overall grade point average (or 2.90 over the last half of their course work), have the written recommendation of the department chairperson of their undergraduate major and have a graduate application on file in the Graduate Studies Office. The application can be found at: https://apply.wisconsin.edu/.

Robert Venturi anesthetized away at age 93 on Wednesday, and there has been an acid acknowledgment from the architectonics community. From committed aggregation to above bookish foes, abounding architects and critics accept taken a moment to admit how abysmal and impactful Venturi’s bequest absolutely is. We calm some of those tributes here.
With the casual of Robert Venturi, Architectonics has absent one of its greats. But to say Bob belonged to Architectonics with a basic “A” is to complete the ambit of his contribution. Bob was an artist, an adventurer, an agitator. Architecture, design, planning, and autograph were his media, but his goal—brilliantly achieved—was to change culture. Alongside his appropriately able collaborator, Denise Scott Brown, he opened the profession to new possibilities and rewrote the assize of architectural history. He additionally developed a beheld language—infused with wit, color, pattern, and erudition—that reverberates far above his buildings.
Robert Venturi’s Complication and Bucking (written in 1966 the year I was born!) was a adumbration for me as a youngster. Though I was absorbed in neo-modernist architectonics school, I was fatigued to the crazy bookish and breezy conversations he declared amid architects from age-old Rome to Victorian England… It accomplished me that architectural abode is in actuality barrio IN DISCOURSE with added buildings! Additionally with cities and with bodies and with art! This is still big account in our accustomed “post-human” architectonics moment!
Plus who doesn’t adulation seeing the busy sheds of Las Vegas as acquiescently explicated by Venturi and his accomplice Denise Scott-Brown? Alone I appetence blockage out the admirable little “bird houses” of Block Island (1979 Coxe-Hayden) every summer, and they accept had a complete appulse in absolution me to reinterpret colloquial forms in my own work.
In an age of anguish in account to the convenance of architecture, as vulgarized addition had upstaged anapestic modernism, Robert Venturi’s 1966 book came as a revelation. It acclimatized for a adaptation amid Le Corbusier, Aalto, Bernini and Balthazar Neumann, recruiting allegedly adverse barrio to casting a alluring assembly of shapes and patterns. If anything, his writings and his aboriginal projects angry for my bearing the appetence for adeptness and the adeptness to comedy with distinct altar and the burghal at large. Bob reminded us that, afore breeding form, architectonics is a conduct of observation, active to the acclimatized landscape, as able-bodied as appear its own linguistic fetishisms and obsessions.
The apple of access that Robert Venturi complete over the advance of his admirable career is abundant above than we think, because the Postmodern characterization did not, in the end, constrain the means in which architects with abounding ideologies accept approached and activated his theories. I feel like Complication and Bucking is the architectural agnate of Gödel’s Approach of Incompleteness- a set of account (maybe alike laws) that outlines how complication is not artlessly the antitoxin to boredom, but added importantly, that it is a assiduous a condition. His adumbration is long, his account are transcendent, and I, for one, will consistently owe a debt to his immense contributions to the field.
Robert Venturi’s Complication and Bucking in Architecture, the aboriginal book of architectural approach by an American architect, opened the way for a bearing of adolescent architects – Charles Moore, Michael Graves, Richard Meier, Frank Gehry, and added – to claiming the platitudes of accumulated convenance in the 1960s and ’70s. In accumulation the best of European architectural history—Vignola, Soane, Moretti, etc.—with a iconography, Venturi developed an abstraction of complication that became the analytical apparatus for stanching the course of laissez-faire addition and alteration the face of American architecture. I for one will absence him and his dry faculty of humor.
I bethink about 20 years ago aback I was because activity to alum academy for architectonics I met, of all people, Robert Venturi. We concluded up accepting drinks and both got not-quite-but-close drunk. He said, “Don’t anytime become an architect… unless there’s absolutely annihilation away you can possibly do…” I was mortified! I anticipation oh my god, what am I accomplishing if THIS guy who’s at the top of the accumulation is cogent me it’s adamantine (I additionally bethink cerebration that is absolutely was all I could possibly do—the another actuality falling aback on my mostly medieval art history degree…). Alone in hindsight did I apprehend that what he was carrying was absolutely academician advice. Architectonics is neither an accessible aisle nor a bald job–but added of an admiration that involves a cogent bulk of struggle. He knew this, and it was apparent in his own work, for instance aback he, the ur-figure of postmodernism, was on the awning of Artist Magazine quoted as adage “I am not nor accept anytime been a postmodernist.” You can see the attempt in his assignment amid aerial modernist training and the whimsy of pop culture. To this day I anticipate the backbone of his assignment is the attempt to accommodate these two directions—rather than alone aperture the floodgates of postmodernism through his autograph and aboriginal work. There was ache in his work—hard effort. I don’t anticipate the postmodernism of Venturi was accessible and frivolous, I anticipate it was complicated, rich, abundant and intelligent—qualities we should all be so advantageous to bathe in our assignment as we attempt through our own careers for this difficult but admirable admiration of ours.
Bob Venturi was one of the one or two best American architects and was a abundant biographer on architecture, architectural history, and theory. His adulation of pop art affronted my acquaintance Richard Serra and that is why I wrote a aegis of him in Artforum. He criticized Mies, but in the end, came to acknowledge him and accept his importance. His accomplishments was as an Italian-American and Quaker, and he admired American and English colloquial architecture, billboards and arcade malls. Denise Scott Brown said he admired to watch English soap operas on PBS and he had a abundant faculty of humor. I was advantageous to accommodated him.
I am acclimatized to cerebration of Complication and Bucking in Architectonics and Acquirements from Las Vegas as books from a connected time ago, and absolutely they are. But I don’t apperceive if there could be any bigger way than to account Robert Venturi than to accessible both of them again, and to be reminded that these are, in fact, around-the-clock books: anchored in the 1960s and 1970s, yes, but acute those years to allege to us now and for a connected time to come. Complication teaches you how to see architecture, and to accept how it is consistently about both/and, not either/or. Las Vegas, which he wrote with his wife and accomplice Denise Scott Brown as able-bodied as Steven Izenour, shows us how architectonics is the authoritative of assurance and attribute as abundant as the authoritative of space, and credibility the way against the conflation of cyberbanking media and architecture. Both books were prescient, and far added important than the air of homesickness that surrounds them is the affable admonition of their connected meaning.
Bob Venturi, biographer of the “gentle manifesto,” was himself gentle, kind, soft-spoken, and absolutely driven. He was as aggressive as anyone in the architectonics business, but his appetite was ashen by a connoisseur’s adulation of form, a critic’s acute perception, and a tourist’s enthusiasms about the world. His architectonics was a alternation of exuberant, inventive, and acute mannerist explorations, avant-garde alike as it appeared to about-face addition on its head.
We aboriginal met aback I was still an undergraduate, and acknowledgment to an addition from Vincent Scully, I had the adventitious to allocution with him and Denise about their work, a chat that led to a allotment about them in The New York Times Magazine that apparent the alpha of my activity as an architectonics critic, or at atomic a paid one. What I bethink best about that interview, above how accommodating both Bob and Denise were to a adolescent biographer with about no credentials, was the actuality that it took abode in a sprawling abode alfresco of Philadelphia that was endemic by an old acquaintance of endemic for whom Bob had advised a abode that was never built. The accuracy the house, which would accept been the best important of Bob’s career up to that point—this was 1971—never went advanced was telling: afore architectonics started, the old abode came up for sale, and Bob told his acquaintance he didn’t see how any new abode could be as ambrosial as that old one, and recommended he buy it instead of architectonics the Venturi house. What added artist would agreeably say such a affair to a client?
Bob was erfingers of dissembling. Best bodies who are as congenitally honest as he was see the apple in simplistic, black-and-white terms; Bob consistently saw it as nuanced, abundantly complex, ironic, accurate by “richness of acceptation rather than accuracy of meaning.” It is that combination—utter artlessness choleric by an absence of article and ideology, a affection for artlessness calm with a apperception for dash and subtlety—that apparent Bob, and shaped both the amazing words and the abundant architectonics that are his legacy.
It goes afterwards adage that he and Denise were huge influences on me alone and on FAT in general. They accept additionally been abundantly admiring over the years. For us, they were artlessly the best important architects of the additional bisected of the 20th century. They managed the absurd feats of bearing awful affecting buildings, creating a new architectural movement, and my god—those books—they afflicted everything,all the while actual outsiders, never absolutely accustomed by the establishment. For me Acquirements from Las Vegas is the best important book accounting on architectonics and urbanism in the aftermost 50 years. It absolutely afflicted the way we adjudicator architecture, anticipate about places and their meanings, represent amplitude and assay the accord amid bodies and environments. It was so abundant added than a book “about” Las Vegas. It was a absolutely new way to attending at the congenital environment.
I feel acutely accustomed to accept accepted them both.
Robert Venturi was afterwards a agnosticism my admired architect. His assignment has been a huge and connected antecedent of afflatus to me. Not aloof the barrio but the way he accumulated the, with research, teaching and autograph of the accomplished order. He wrote not one but two awfully affecting and acutely important books, the additional with his wife and accomplice Denise Scott Brown. Calm they opened up architectonics to so abounding things; to an acknowledgment of the acclimatized and to a way of acquirements from the things about us. Of all the buildings, my favourite is the Trubek House, one of a brace shingle-clad cottages realised on Nantucket Island in 1970. It has it all this house: the plays of scale, the circuitous spatiality, the astriction amid architectonics and accustomed life, the two never absolutely resolved. Robert Venturi’s accent cannot be abstract and he leaves the apple of architectonics a abundant poorer place. RIP Bob.
I don’t anticipate I could accurate how important Bob Venturi (and Denise) were to FAT, and to me personally. I absolutely came beyond their assignment in the arrangement bookshops of the mid 90’s, acrimonious up that amazing book on the Mother Abode for nothing. Airbrushed out of the architectural history I’d been accomplished at school, their assignment seemed so amazingly beginning and accordant to an age of advice and advice (remember the alacrity and optimism of agenda adeptness at that time!).
So chargeless of all that dried reactionary nonsense that had amidst them (especially in the UK at the time of Prince Charles’ National Gallery interventions) we could acquisition our own resonances. Sampling, acid and pasting, copying, distorting, arena with conventions, and compassionate architectonics as a anatomy of advice itself, I affected a clandestine dream that was allotment Venturi allotment Marshall McLuhan that helped coin a altered aisle through millennial times and agenda culture.
Meeting them both in Philly at a baby appearance at Penn we had was incredible, with Bob bottomward aphorisms left, right, and centermost that still break with me as he toured the show: “Not arid but in a acceptable way,” “keep up the bad work.” I still don’t apperceive what he meant aback he told me I wrote like Abraham Lincoln.
He fabricated us feel like co-conspirators, and we in about-face acquainted like we could apprentice (and steal) so abundant from him that could restart the agent of a assertive fiber of architectural attitudes appear adeptness and architectonics that had stalled.
It’s not overhyped or affected to accent his complete axis to the actual abstraction of architectonics in the astern 20th and aboriginal 21st century. It’s why afterwards a connected time abandoned and alone by the architectural mainstream, his and Denise’s assignment has become so important to a adolescent bearing of architects. Ugly and accustomed forever!
Robert Venturi afflicted architectonics (hard), for the bigger (even harder) but with some adverse after-effects (the one-liner-anti-symism), and abounding of his baby aboriginal barrio and a few of his ample afterwards works are epics. Their cartoon and altercation aggressive two generations. His autograph was best usually in the account of a polemic, and his adaptation of complication predictive of the way the sciences of the twenty-first aeon would about-face out. I was afflicted I couldn’t get Bob to abode on the additional date of Postmodernism, but as a acceptable baton of the movement he was gentle, ironic, acceptable to others, agreeable to many, academic, and will consistently be remembered by me.
Robert Venturi, accepted for aerial intelligence, erudition, and a benevolent viewpoint, brought humanism to architecture. His assignment shone with wit and fit—creating a bright chat amid accomplished and present, amid aerial calmness and a irony. Signification, pattern, relationship, and memory. Calm with his partners, this doubtful aitionist brave the apple with joy.
Although I accept accepted Bob for what seems like forever, both at a ambit as an baronial luminary in the acreage and a bit closer, as a actuality with whom to allocution about Rome and capital street, it is alone in the accomplished few years that I accept gotten to see him assignment in affectionate detail. Spending time in his archive, I accept been systematically addled by the amazing intelligence that permeates aggregate but that is generally best acute aback hidden in appointment memos, hand-drawn key codes to actual blueprint and sketches fabricated on acknowledged pads clearly fatigued in a library. His aciculate accuracy and wit has consistently been abundantly bright to anybody through the discipline-changing assignment we all know, but the aesthetic accentuation of his abstraction is altered in these beneath advised expressions. Affectionate acknowledgments of the contributions fabricated by secretarial staff, decidedly advanced absorption in agenda technologies, and outbursts of frustrations with the accustomed obstacles confronted by architects, are affirmation that in his circadian life, he operated in accordance with the principle—often about declared but additionally generally blurred as bald able rhetoric—that architects are not heroes but bodies with absorbing jobs to do.
And in these documents, there is additionally affirmation of conceivably the smartest affair he anytime did – which was to ally Denise, to whom I action my centermost condolences.
Very few texts captured a cultural archetype about-face as Robert Venturi and Scott Brown’s Complication and Bucking in Architectonics and Acquirements from Las Vegas. Their access on ancestors of architects is as beginning as it was aback those texts were aboriginal published. They destabilized the form-function determinism of modernist architects and opened our acreage to amalgam forms, cool graphics, and pop-style culture. They absolved architectonics from anachronistic behavior with bookish depth, congenital faculty of humor, abrupt juxtapositions and antic colors. They looked at architectonics as a cultural across-the-board broadcast field.
Robert Venturi adapted architectonics (practice and teaching) for those of us afterwards him (America and abroad). He fabricated it better. Calm with Denise Scott Brown, he pioneered architectonics partnerships (now there are so many), affianced assorted scales and media (from books to appliance to barrio to urbanism), and brought architectonics into chat with its a adeptness (both as an bookish following and a practical/technical one). He seemed to booty according amusement in both history and the mundane, alms a amusing counterpoint to the ballsy artist-architect and to the essentialism of his time with an clear ambiguity, complexity, and inclusivity (something that is added and added important nowadays).
Bob has larboard the building. His spirit will roam the cosmos for aeon consistently about his admired Denise and Jim. The maestro’s abundant assignment charcoal abaft with us. It will thankfully astonish pundits, colleagues and acceptance for centuries to come. Bob and Denise’s assignment has consistently been across-the-board speaking to all ages, cultures, endeavors, and genders. Bob chose to abode in accepted accent about his assignment additionally provides the claiming of case aback its added layers.
Bob’s circadian activity and assignment formed one unified accomplished abounding of the complexities and contradictions of which he wrote. There was no added Venturi lurking. He was the absolute deal, authentic, admiring and committed in aggregate he did. Bob was adventuresome in his efforts to action affected trends which traded actuality for ball and one-liner. His armory included wit, artistry, ambiguity, irony and bookish prowess. He was able-bodied armed and accessible to engage.
I bethink him cogent me of how he struggled at the time aback agreement the burst accumbent white bandage at the fifth attic of Guild House. It took me a while to absolutely accept that. It fabricated me think. That is what Bob does. He makes us think.
Picking up archetype edits on the day of Robert Venturi’s passing, we were addled by the appliance of the angel on the aftermost folio of our aftermost issue. It is a photograph of Bob and Denise taken from the aback seat, affected by a windshield, advanced of which are signs, band malls, busy sheds. It captures so altogether how they asked us to attending at the apple differently. Their embrace of Americana, of the city, of what is aces of our attention, opened the conduct to a added assorted set of interests and narratives connected afore it was politically actual to do so. The inclusivity Bob championed in Complexity and Contradiction expanded means of operating in the field, which acutely afflicted us at PRAXIS (not to acknowledgment ancestors of architects). His and Denise’s bookish generosity is a admonition of how we should all strive to practice.
We accept absent a giant, but additionally an abundantly warm, witty, and acceptable animal being. I bethink already affable a simple pasta with amazon booze for Bob and Denise in their admirable Philadelphia home, aback I had aloof started alive on my PhD apriorism on their Acquirements from Las Vegas. Aback Bob saw the sauce, he commented: “How exotic!” He absolutely did see the amazing in the ordinary. Venturi, through his acicular observations, is articulate accuracy and his puns, consistently afflicted how we anticipate and allocution about architecture. One of his best acclaimed assets illustrated his abstraction of the busy afford with the words “I AM A MONUMENT.” That he is.
One of the aboriginal accessories I appear afterwards finishing academy was a assize advancing Complication and Bucking in Architecture. Not altogether originally, I answerable Bob Venturi with announcement an escapist, absolutely visual, artful at time of amusing crisis. How amiss I was! That book and his assignment were absolutely all about the political and its imbrication not artlessly in aesthetic apparatus but in all-embracing best and account for the choices of others. Bob was consistently and anytime acclaim destructive and afflicted – absolved – the way we anticipate about architecture. He accomplished what we were so accurately angry for: the actuality of aberration and the abandon of the imagination.
Robert Venturi (1925-2018), apparently the best adumbrative of American Postmodernism, was one of the twenty participants of the amazing Strada Novissima at the 1980 Venice Architectonics Biennale. In fact, calm with Denise Scott Brown and John Rauch, he apparently astern at the best important abode on that street, abaft a façade that took the anatomy of a bright pop cartoonish temple with, in the back, and arresting from the street, a ample reproduction of the 1964 Vanna Venturi abode corrective by Cinecittà technicians.
Venturi’s attendance in the exhibition was apparent as not alone adorable but as absolutely capital to the success of the show. So abundant so that arch babysitter Paolo Portoghesi fabricated abiding to accommodate architectural historian Vincent Scully amidst the advising lath of the exhibition, as he knew, alone Scully would be able to argue the ancestor of postmodernism to appear and comedy with the added kids on the block.
Bob Venturi led the way astern to a “gentler, simpler time.” His was a postmodernists’ bawl that in the astern 1960’s batten a added circuitous accent than that audible by approved modernism. Consistently the gentleman, he seemed afflictive with the mantel of ballyhoo which nonetheless he wore with abundant dignity. Never the “starchitect” Bob was too backward to be agitated by the chicane of fame. He never aimed to be the baton of the “loyal opposition” affair either and while his words batten volumes about circuitous values, his architectural assembly sometimes fell a bit abbreviate of the mark but not by much.
In my mind, Bob and Denise are a distinct entity… a alliance of absolute ability and adroitness that afflicted the actual foundations of how we anticipate about the congenital environment. Their unified attendance has been absolutely anchored in both my acquainted and hidden angle of architectonics back the 1970s; so, it is absurd to accept that one bisected of this all-powerful aggregation is missing. Denise will absolutely go on to anytime added amazing triumphs of art and theory, but the accord and amplitude of their account will consistently abide in the architectonics apple as a absolute archetype of adulation and eyes in one package.
Robert Venturi was badly affecting and badly misunderstood. He best abundantly alleged for complication and bucking in architectonics but he was absolutely a new affectionate of minimalist, consistently attractive to aerate the aftereffect of the least–as appear by the actual bendability of the self-undermining mantra “Less is a Bore.” He was a absolutely breviloquent architect, calmly analytical what others bless and adulatory what others belittle. Added than anything, he savored the uncontainable ripples produced by slow-motion collisions amid acutely adverse little things. Calm with Denise Scott-Brown, he kept allurement architects to anticipate again, and smile a bit, alike if the action was rarely taken up.

While Resistance 3's single-player story sees players traipsing across the U.S., multiplayer is a trip around the Chimeran-infested world, with stops in Bogota, Colombia, Glamorgan, Wales, Africa's Republic of Chad, and this latest map, which takes the battle to the second largest town in the Northern Territory of Australia.
That would be Alice Springs, lovingly referred to as just plain Alice. It's around 27,000 people huddled about in Australia's Red Centre, including Australian Aborigines, Australian non-Aborigines, and a fair number of U.S. transplants, celebrating our holidays and sounding funny to everyone else involved.
Of course this in now. Resistance 3 takes place in an alternate 1957, where Alice is just a desiccated brown husk of her current modest glory. It's the sort of place where the men would drink for hours before getting their chunder on, and oh how the beer flowed. Stupid aliens, ruining a perfectly good 80s tune.

-To what extent do poor housing conditions exist in the Promise Zone? Where are those conditions concentrated?
-What is the economic context under which these conditions occur?
-What other indicators of housing insecurity exist in the area?
-To what extent are public health outcomes more or less severe in the area compared to the rest of Hartford? Which health outcomes, both mental and physical, stand out?
-To what extent is there a relationship between poor housing conditions/insecurities and poor health outcomes?
-In conjunction with Community Solutions, how can we create final products which effectively communicate the answers to these questions (i.e. our findings) with policymakers, activists, and Promise Zone residents?
To answer these questions, our team collected data about the neighborhood’s economic background, housing stock, and public health landscape. Our project is a quantitative data project focused on analyzing statistics and numerically measurable information about the Promise Zone. After completing our data collection and analysis, our team then constructed “story maps” using the mapping program ArcGIS and its counterpart ArcGIS Online. These maps answer our research questions and serve as a way to teach others about housing, health, and life in the North Hartford Promise Zone.

MAC 'Pink Swoon' is my first blush from MAC and I absolutely adore it. However I'm really disappointed that I couldn't get it to photograph true enough to colour. 'Pink Swoon' is a gorgeous pale pink and looks so pretty against pale skin. It's a matte blush and I love how perfect it is for A/W. It's perfect for creating a lovely rosy cheek look that's so perfect coming into the winter months. I think if you're a pale girl like me, you really need to have this in your collection. It complements my skin tone so well and I bet a lot of you would really like this. If you're a lot more tan this would be incredibly subtle on your skin and you may need to build it up quite a bit as it is so light. I'd always read such great things about MAC's blushes but could never bring myself to splurge 20+€. But I did and I can't wait to get my hands on a few more. I can see why they're so hyped and they're definitely worth the splurge.
this one has been on my list for a while now. such a gorgeous colour!
This is really pretty. LOve the name too. I dont own any Mac blushes but I have a few on the wish list.
Love the shade, it's very pretty.
This is such a pretty shade! I really want to try a MAC blush.
I think I need to make this my second mac blush! It's absolutely gorgeous. Hope College is going okay.
Lovely coulor! I love it!

The U.S., under the presidency of Barack Obama, refused to countenance President Vladimir Putin’s suggestion that UN peace-keeping troops be deployed in southern and eastern Ukraine, and Trump has continued that policy.
Then there’s the seeming refusal to extend the treaty (New START ) that dramatically lowers the number of intercontinental nuclear missiles on each side. Trump has also thrown money at the Defence Department while cutting social budgets, vowing to beef up America’s nuclear forces.
Recently he unilaterally ended one of the great achievements that came towards the end of the Cold War, the treaty abolishing intermediate-range nuclear forces in Europe.
Collusion with Russia? It hardly seemed likely given this record and now it has been proved to be a red herring.
What I have long feared is not collusion but the effect that Trump’s confrontational policies will have on the peace of the world. When the Cold War ended in 1991 we had a big pan-European peace within reach and we blew it away.
Analysts of the stature of Zbigniew Brzezinski, George Kennan and Henry Kissinger criticized the way the expansion of NATO was done and how there was a lost opportunity of binding Russia into Western Europe. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush launched that hostile policy but Obama continued it.
Nuclear war is always a possibility as long as the weapons and the hostility that is now prevalent, exist. Apart from an accidental launch or the action of rogue officers (as have nearly happened in the past according to Pentagon sources) there’s always the chance that mistaken policies will drive the U.S., Russia and China to military confrontation.
A sane finger (or fingers) on the nuclear button becomes a necessity if the world isn’t to be partly devastated. I can cross my heart and say that Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Barack Obama would never have initiated a nuclear attack. But I’m not so sure about Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. As for Donald Trump I put him in the second camp. I wouldn’t trust him.
Crises can pop up seemingly out of nowhere and a steady hand in the Oval Office is absolutely necessary. Trump doesn’t like Russia, albeit he has had so far a civilized personal relationship with Putin. But, given his attitude, that could turn sour at any moment.
The worst of it is that a majority – albeit a small one – of Americans might support him. A number of surveys carried out have shown that over the years Americans have become more tolerant of the use of nuclear weapons if they felt the homeland was truly threatened, even by a non-nuclear attack.
At the time of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki President Truman rejected advice to authorize a third, saying he didn’t want to take the lives of “all those kids”.
Yet we know he considered using them if the Soviet advance into Japan from the north continued. And at the time of the Korean War General Douglas MacArthur, the chief commander, recommended they be used in significant numbers to stop the Chinese advance into the north. As recently as 1965 during the Vietnam War the Pacific Theatre Commander asked Washington for permission to use tactical nuclear weapons.
Fortunately, we know today that the so-called “elite” policy makers wouldn’t accept the use of nuclear weapons.
This is the conclusion of an exhaustive study made of a “war game” involving both very senior policy makers (the “elite”), past and present, and their juniors. It’s written up by Reid Pauly in the current issue of Harvard’s International Security. The simulation, organized under the auspices of the Pentagon, pitted the home side against an unnamed foreign power during wartime.
Twenty-six games were played. In only two was the result the use of nuclear weapons. But it wasn’t ethical reservations or worries about triggering more proliferation that gave the players pause, it was an “apprehension about domestic, global, allied or peer reputational costs”. They didn’t want to become a pariah by being the first to advocate use since 1945. They were prepared to suffer conventional war defeats rather than use nuclear weapons.
So what about the “button”? In reality the president’s command to use them has to pass through various Pentagon layers before launch officers get their orders. I doubt, given the deep reservations of the “elites”, that it would be obeyed.

It is apparent, in more ways that we can count, that Justin has and will continue to put Mr. Woesthaus’ advice into action in his daily life. He and his soccer teammates started a fundraiser to support the Wounded Warrior Project this past season. Every time the team scored a goal, fans would pass a bucket around to collect contributions. Justin introduced Wounded Warriors as one of three possible organizations to receive the funds raised. He was pleased that his teammates wholeheartedly agreed. Justin knows what it is like to have a parent deploy multiple times for 6 months to a year at a time. He has heard stories about airmen and soldiers returning home injured or having to cope with post-traumatic stress disorder. “I think it impacted Justin knowing that his parents are fine but there are military kids whose parent(s) needed help and he wanted to do something about it,” said Maureen Robinson.
After graduation Justin plans to move on to Wingate University, a small liberal arts university in North Carolina to study physical therapy and play soccer. Justin’s brother, Shawn (Althoff Catholic Class of 2014) is studying architecture at the University of Oregon.

The small village of Castlelyons in Co. Cork, Ireland appeared deserted when we drove into it and as we seemed to be the only car on the road there was no fear of being run over when taking the photo below. As if to confirm its silence the main street was dominated by the ruins of an old Carmelite abbey.
Little is known of the origins of the abbey for there are few surviving written records. It is thought that it dates from the beginning of the 14th century although the existing ruins are from a hundred years later.
The size of the nave is huge measuring over sixty feet in length and twenty in width. It is separated from the chancel by the tower which although very ruined still has its complete spiral staircase which can be climbed – but not for the faint-hearted. The chancel which is also very large (over fifty feet in length) is where the altar would have been placed. A number of grave slabs survive some of which still have visible markings.
The cloister, where the monks walked and meditated, is less complete but the turf square and parts of columns gives a sense of the place. The monastery was dissolved during the Reformation and passed into private hands. Now it is a national monument.
A mile or two from the abbey ruins is the Castlelyons Graveyard at Kill-St-Anne. At its centre is a mausoleum built about 1747. The interior is circular with just one marble monument to James Barry, Earl of Barrymore and carved in 1753. External steps lead to a crypt below.
Close to the first lies a second mausoleum, also built in the eighteenth century, for the Peard family, local landlords. Their earliest grave (dated 1683) lies elsewhere in the churchyard and commemorates Richard Peard, an ensign from Devonshire in England.
The church – or more accurately churches – lie in ruins for a more recent one was built within the original. They date from the eighteenth and fourteenth centuries respectively. The remains of the bell tower and gothic arches are from the earlier date, the elaborate stone window which are in the later ruins are reputed to have belonged to the original church. Whatever the truth of this tale, the result is beautiful and romantic.
The churchyard is a haven for wildlife and native flowers flourish beside mown paths. Beside the old cemetery is another, newer one still in use and equally well-maintained as were the old abbey ruins and the village itself. Castlelyons maybe off the beaten track but it is well worth making the effort to visit. It is rural Ireland at its very best.
Much information has been gleaned from information boards within the village and also the Castlelyons village website – link here. Apart from details of its history the website shows that despite its small size, the village social life is thriving.
The statement “I have been living in a Pineapple” may give cause for surprise but is, in fact, quite true for I have just returned from a brief trip to Scotland. To stay in a building that puts a smile on your face whenever you catch a glimpse of it ought to be on everyone’s ‘to do’ list – if it is, The Pineapple is the place to go.
Originally part of the Dunsmore Estate, it was gifted to the National Trust for Scotland in 1974 and leased to the Landmark Trust who undertook its restoration. Neglected for very many years, the Pineapple proved to be in remarkably good condition for every ‘leaf’ was designed to prevent water collecting within it and damaging the stonework. The remainder of the property was very unstable and derelict.
When the two walled gardens were enclosed at Dunsmore in the mid 1700’s there was no ‘big house’ attached. They were purely used for producing a supply of fruit, vegetables and flowers to be sent to the Earl of Dunmore’s home in Argyll. It was some years later (it is thought) that the Pineapple was added as a folly and summerhouse, probably after the Earl’s return from Virginia and the Bahamas where he was Governor.
Why a pineapple? In the eighteenth century, pineapples were a rare luxury that had become associated with wealth and hospitality. They began to appear on pillars, railings and weather vanes and, indoors on fabrics and wall coverings. The building of The Pineapple was, perhaps, the grandest of all grand gestures.
Although the building is of such high quality in both its materials, cratsmanship and design it was barely recorded in contemporary writing and its designer remains unknown. One possible reason for this is that it may have been just a little too ‘over the top’ even for flamboyant Georgian taste. It is even quite probable that the Pineapple may have been painted. The doorway of the undercroft is a very accurate timber carving of Ionic pillars beyond which stone steps lead to the raised northern lawn. From this lawn there is level access to the summerhouse.
Either side of the Pineapple are two small cottages, formerly gardener’s bothys. These have been fully restored by the Landmark Trust to create holiday accomodation with living room and kitchen in one and bedrooms in the other. The north garden and the Pineapple room are for the private use of guests, the south lawn and gardens are open to the public.
To be able to grow pineapples required specialist knowledge and skills as well as additional warmth. Glasshouses flanked the south wall and were heated by the use of specially constructed hollow walls. At the foot of these, fires were lit and flues within the wall drew the heat upwards, warming the brickwork. The four decorative urns to either side of the Pineapple conceal chimneys and because of there similarity to those at Casino Marino in Dublin (to read about this extraordinary building click here), it has been suggested that the designer could be Sir William Chambers although there is no documented evidence to suggest this. At intervals on the southern side of the walls I found sliding stones which could be removed presumably to allow the heat to escape.
In 1820 William Wilkins, architect of the National Gallery in London, designed a house in the Tudor Gothick style. Dunsmore Park’s glory was, however, short-lived for by 1911 the family had left although it remained occupied until 1964 after which it was abandoned. It is now a ruin visible across the fields from the Pineapple. Another ruin, now very unstable, and also visible from the Pineapple, is the Elphinstone Tower. Of earlier origin, built about 1510, it became the family vault of the Dunmore family in 1836 with a church built alongside a few years later. This was demolished in the 1960’s. Their fascinating stories will be subjects of this blog in due course.
With so much history and beautiful scenery close by – Loch Lomond is only a short drive away – the Pineapple makes a great and intriguing place to use as a base for exploring the area. The grounds are open free to the public all year but the building is at its best during the hours when you are alone to enjoy its eccentricity and splendid isolation.

Published: September 30th 2014 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers.
The clock chimes midnight, a curse breaks, and a girl meets a prince.. but what follows is not all sweetness and sugarplums. New York City, 1899. Clara Stole, the mayor's ever-proper daughter, leads a double life. Since her mother's murder, she has secretly trained in self-defense with the mysterious Drosselmeyer. Then, on Christmas Eve, disaster strikes. Her home is destroyed, her father abducted--by beings distinctly nothuman. To find him, Clara journeys to the war-ravaged land of Cane. Her only companion is the dethroned prince Nicholas, bound by a wicked curse. If they're to survive, Clara has no choice but to trust him, but his haunted eyes burn with secrets--and a need she can't define. With the dangerous, seductive faery queen Anise hunting them, Clara soon realizes she won't leave Cane unscathed--if she leaves at all.
There was something about this book that kept me from completely falling in love with it. I felt a certain disconnection from the story and the characters. It also doesn’t scream nutcracker retelling to me, but my overall opinion is that it’s a good book. The writing-style was superb, although not something everyone will fancy, and I was absolutely blown-away by the villain.
Clare’s mother was brutally murdered and she is looking for answers. What did happen and who was behind it? In the mean time she is trying to take care of her sister Felicity, her father’s failing duties as mayor, the pressure from the Concordia members and Dr. Victor’s unwanted attention. To make things even worse, Godfather releases another world into her life by fixing a curse from the statue she always felt drawn too. Clare now finds herself in a world with fairies, hunting down her father before Concordia kills Felicity.
Clare’s fascination with a statue, who turns out to be a real boy trapped in a curse, was creeping me out. I understand that she talked to the statue, but kissing it and pushing herself against it imagining he was real went a little too far.
I have mixed feelings about Clare. She had moments of strength and bravery that made me appreciate her – and the next moment she would destroy it all by returning to a whiny, spineless girl. I didn’t like how she accepted Victor’s rapey attitude (and how everyone else was looking away). I wish she was more consistent, but her character did have some development towards the ending. The moment she embraces her new role in the situation changed her. In the end, it wasn’t too bad to follow her around the story.
Next is Nicholas, who was an okay character to me. He did something that made me disapprove of him and even after his apologies I felt a certain grudge towards him. I could never forgive someone for stabbing me in the back like that, so I wasn’t completely sold on the romance aspect. They are certainly cute together, but his action kept nagging at me.
This book shined when it comes to the villain and the writing-style. Legrand knows how to use the right amount of descriptions and her sentences weaved a story I couldn’t let go of. She hooked me with her choice of words and scenery. The way she created the villain was brilliant. She had the balance between bad and good, making her complex and fascinating.
Anise took over, years after the brutal slaughter of her parents. She grew up alone and this loneliness has settled in her bones. She punishes the people who took everything away. When she gets her hands on Clare, she feels connected to someone similar too her. It’s obvious she is hungry for affection and a friend. Her actions have driven her too far and I don’t approve of what she did, but I felt pity for her and how her life turned out – and I understood why she did it. There was also a certain twist that caught me off guard and credits to Legrand for going there.
So, this book might not have been everything I was looking for, but it was still quite good.
I am laughing SO HARD reading the part about her pushing herself against the statue and wishing it was real! Like i'm picturing it in my head right now and I just can't handle it! Like you, I think I would have an issue with that portion of the book lol.
The cover is so gorgeous though! I had high hopes for this book for that reason alone!
I have yet to read a Claire Legrand book but I really need to fix that soon! I think I have most of her books on my tbr shelf - including this one. I'm sorry it didn't completely deliver for you. The bit about the statue does sound really odd LOL^^ Maybe I should check out her MG books first.
Hahah I read this a long time ago, but I also remember Clare's fascination with the statue. It was weird and creepy. And I don't like Nicholas. I mean I guess I did back then, but like you I never really forgave him.

Cinco De Mayo is approaching and, in anticipation of the big day, we’re highlighting Mexican beer cocktails…including the one found in our April kit, Paloma Prohibida. Included in the recipe is Dos Equis, probably the world’s most recognized Mexican lager. We had a few questions for Dos Equis Senior Brand Director, Quinn Kilbury.
How did you come to work as Brand Director for Dos Equis? Can you tell us a bit about your background and what you were doing before?
I’ve been at Heineken USA for about 5 years, starting out as the Brand Director on Newcastle Brown Ale before moving on to be the Senior Brand Director on Heineken and now Dos Equis. Prior to HUSA, I worked at Pepsi, General Mills, and on the agency side.
What intrigued you about Heineken from the start? Have you always been interested in the beer industry?
Great brands and the ability to work for a family owned but global organization. That’s a rare combo these days. I’ve been a beer guy since it was legal to be. The three tier system makes sure every day is new and exciting, it’s an incredibly dynamic industry to be a part of.
We’re featuring Dos Equis in our cocktail kit this month. It’s the perfect way to top off our Paloma Prohibida cocktail. The beer cocktails we've featured are among the most favored by our subscribers. Have you seen a rise lately in beer as a cocktail ingredient?
Yes! In many ways Dos Equis started the beer cocktail craze down in Texas with the Dosarita years ago, and we believe beer cocktails are just beginning to really take off now. We have a dedicated beer cocktail program we’ve really leaned into this year and we’re seeing great traction.
Can you share a bit about the history of Dos Equis? How has the recipe changed over the years, if at all?
Dos Equis has been around since 1897 in Mexico, and all of our beer is still brewed there, but Dos Equis Lager was actually originally brewed in the ‘80’s specifically for Texas and the Sunbelt markets of the US. We haven’t messed with either Lager or Ambar’s recipes; why mess with perfection!
Is there anything in particular you wish people knew about Dos Equis?
Dos Equis is the #1 Mexican franchise on draft in the US, depending on where you live in the US that might come as a surprise to you.
What has been one of the most exciting moments since joining Heineken?
Everyday is exciting around here, what keeps me going is finding new ways for people to discover the best tasting import beer (scientifically proven). When you have a great product, everything else gets a heck of a lot easier and more exciting.
What are some of the challenges you face in your role?
We’re a brand with national awareness, but very little trial outside of our key states. Once you try Dos Equis, you generally stick around for more, but generating that trial is easier said than done given the complexities of the beer category. We don’t sell the equivalent of about 275M beers in Texas per year for nothing.
What’s next for Dos Equis? Are there any exciting upcoming partnerships or campaigns you can tell us about?
We recently evolved our campaign to “Keep It Interesante”, the early response has been terrific! I’m super excited for our partnership with Funny or Die during Cinco and can’t wait for football season given our partnership with the College Football Playoffs and the College Football Hall of Fame.
What's your vision for the future of the brand?
It’s a damn good sessionable beer, we’re going to get more people to discover that while also bringing some of the fun back to beer through our ad campaign.
And finally, do you have a favorite Dos Equis cocktail you’ve tried?
I’m a fan of the OG, the Dosarita, there’s no better way to get your night started!
▸ Add citrus salt rim to the glass and add ice.
▸ Pour all ingredients excluding beer into glass and stir.
▸ Top with Dos Equis® Lager.
▸ Garnish with chili tincture.

I watched Microsoft’s Bryan Roper perform an awesome demo of Windows 10 Mobile’s Continuum feature yesterday, and it confirmed what I suspected: Windows 10 Mobile is for business users, and that’s because, it could be the phone that replaces the PC for a lot of users.
But there’s a problem. Microsoft has relied on the phone networks, such as Verizon (USA) and Vodafone (UK/Ireland/Europe), to sell there phones. And that has failed drastically.
There’s a thing you need to understand about sales people. They sell toasters. That’s my phrase for insulting a salesperson. Sales people typically know nothing about what they are selling. They learn some lines and pitch it. And sales people are often lazy. They’ll sell what they know, and they learn as little as possible. Walk into any store and you’ll be sold and iPhone, a Samsung S6, and whatever the bargain model is that month. They want the quick and easy sale so they can move on to the next customer and hit their target – understandable based on how sales people are measured (something Microsoft has only started to change internally and with partners).
So how does Microsoft work around these networks’ sales people to put their phone hardware and OS into the hands of the intended market?
I have a solution. Why don’t Microsoft sell “One Windows” via the same channel that sells the rest of Windows to business customer? Microsoft should say “screw you <insert network name here>!”, unlock the phones, and sell them via distribution/resellers to the business. This would allow Dell/HP to sell to Fortune 100/government (as was announced recently with Surface) and distribution to sell via authorised device resellers (as was also recently opened up for Surface) to everyone else.
Microsoft has made similar changes in the past. Office 365 was not sold via resellers to SMEs, but Open licensing was introduced after several years of doing nothing in the market. The same has happened with the Surface 3 generation this year (thousands of authorized device resellers being added worldwide) but it took Microsoft several years to realize that enterprises do not pay consumer rates to buy Surface off of some rather dodgy looking webpage.
I don’t think anyone would disagree that selling Microsoft phones via the reseller channel would be a bad idea. I’m not saying that this will solve the app-gap – but it would put more phones in the market and create more demand for universal apps that can run on any Windows 10 device. And right now, Windows 10 Mobile needs some momentum, that Microsoft has never gotten from the networks, and never will. If Microsoft does not make this necessary change now, then they’d save shareholders a lot of money just by killing of the Windows Phone program right now, and focusing on Android and iPhone apps.
[EDIT] I’ve just read that AT&T has an exclusive on the new phones in the USA. Bye-bye, Windows Phone.
*The deal between AT&T and Microsoft for the Lumia 950 is not an exclusive one ;).
That is true about how the phone (930)was sell until now. I bought my one from amazon unlocked. From Microsoft.ie site I was redirected to the some local carriers where the chance to buy one are very low, only with fat monthly payments + big price. All most same price on amazon for unlocked. On apple.ie you can easily order an iPhone. And Microsoft Band, where is ‘it??? Good companion, but very strange Microsoft sales strategy.
I bought my 1020 unlocked from Amazon. It originated from a Malaysian network (or somewhere in Asia). The same is true of phones you get on Expansys. And the VAST majority of phones are bought through the network stores. So my point is still valid.

Often the choice to stay home or work doesn’t feel like a decision at all. Sometimes we’re faced with finances that mean we must work or we don’t have access to childcare so must stay home. Whatever the reasons behind the decision to stay home or work, one thing remains constant: Mothers don’t feel confident about the choices they make. We often question if we’re making the wrong one. I’m here to help you recognize the benefits to the choice you make and give you back your confidence as a woman and a mother.
Confidence in the choices we make allows us to have greater happiness in our lives and lessens the over all stress we feel. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to feel committed to your choice and confident that the decision you made was not only the best choice for your family, but the best choice for you too?
Many people give advice on how to decide whether to stay home, work, work from home, or any combination of the above. It’s easy to find advice on managing your time so you can make your decision work. But what isn’t talked about as often is the way we feel about our decisions. Even a mom who is excited about her career and wants to work can feel very torn when leaving for work each morning. A mom that wants to stay home may still find herself bored and questioning her decision.
That’s normal. Re-evaluating our lives is normal. Checking in to be sure the decision still fits is a great idea, however, if we find ourselves double checking our choices too often, it can interfere with our success and happiness.
The easiest way to take away the self doubt, is to decide how often you’ll reevaluate your decision. Give yourself at least 4 months before you evaluate how it’s going. but give yourself at least another 4 months after that to decide to change course. Once you’ve decided on how long you’ll give yourself before your evaluation, put it in the calendar. Choose a day when you and your partner have time together, higher a baby-sitter if your children are small – or think of some other way to allow your and your partner uninterrupted time to talk together.
Right from the start, look for potential problems that may come up. If you made a pros/cons list, those cons are your potential problems. Consider how they might affect your family then think of ways you might either prevent the problem from occurring, or dealing with it once it happens.
It may also be helpful to write down ways you can tell if your concerns are happening. For instance let’s say you’re concerned about being able to balance everyone’s needs, what are some signs that it’s not working? Having a clear idea of what a problem might look like allows us to notice the problem faster, but more importantly it prevents us from questioning whether every situation is the start of a problem or merely a bad day.
When we know we’ve thought of potential problems and also have a plan for those problems, we feel more confident with our choices. That confidence allows us to feel more relaxed and happy on a day to day basis.
Even when we’ve made the best decision possible, with all the information available to us, it’s still possible that something will come up that we didn’t consider as a possibility. That’s okay. It doesn’t mean we’ve made the wrong decision.
When we focus on our own ability to direct our lives, we allow ourselves to see opportunities and solutions. When we feel like we have control in our lives, we are more likely to feel content at the end of the day. Even bad days.
After acknowledging potential problems, let them go. If an actual problem occurs, that’s different. Certainly deal with actual problems. In this section I’m only talking about the potential problems you listed earlier. Trust yourself that you’ll be able to cope with them if they happen so you don’t need to worry about them in the meantime. You’ve already defined the problems and what they look like, so you don’t need to focus on them anymore.
This gives you the energy and space to focus on what is working. If you’re working, you may miss your toddler during the day, but you enjoy the time at work doing something you find interesting. You also look forward to the special time you and your toddler have together after work.
Just like your decisions and concerns are unique to you, so are the good parts. What do you really love about your life?
If a particular day or week is difficult, take the time to think about at least three things that happened that you liked. It may be as simple as the way your little one joyfully ran to you when you picked her up from daycare. The specifics aren’t important, it’s how you feel about it and how you notice it.
When several months have passed and it’s time to reevaluate your decision, involve the adults, and only the adults, in the conversation until you’re clear on what you want to do. Some parents may want to include older children in the discussion, but often children don’t have the ability to understand the complexity of the situation. Instead of asking for their opinion, let them know you’re making a decision, and you’d like their input. But be clear that the decision is yours to make.
In every situation, it’s possible to find both good and bad. When it’s time to reassess whether your decision to be a stay at home mom or a working mom is the best fit, it’s a good idea to think of the decision as an entity you’re giving feedback to.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. First things first. Let’s start by defining what you want. Do you want a certain amount of connection or peace within your home, specific opportunities, a certain income, something else? Whatever you want, write it down. Now decide which is most important to you. Keep that most important goal in mind, you’ll use it to answer the next question.
Picture your whole situation, either being at work or at home, as a whole entity, your goal is the head. The rest of the body is made up of the different aspects of your life. This may be children, partner, friends, health. Break it down into enough parts that it allows you to have a good visual of your life without being too focused on minute details.
Write down answers for each system within the whole. Be sure to pull out as many good things as possible. It’ll show you where your strengths are and help you create an even better life as you move forward.
Writing it down allows your brain to connect to it deeper. You want to connect to the good parts of your life. Even if you change directions, it’s important to see what was already working well because it’ll provide you with more confidence and a greater sense of fulfillment as you move forward.
As you answer this question look for possibilities. How can you make these even better moments happen? Would shifting back to work or home allow you to create those ‘even better if’ moments easier?
There are pros and cons to any situation, but you can change the cons and turn them into pros. That’s what you’re looking for right now. If you weren’t finding enough connection with your partner while staying home, what are some of the many ways you could increase your connection while still staying home? If you found yourself too worn down at the end of the day, what are some of the ways you could give yourself a boost when you need it most?
Now that you have a plan, have defined what it looks like when things are going well, and how to tell if things aren’t working well, you’ve created a timeline for evaluating and reevaluating, and you’ve thought of possible ways to make things better, how do you feel about your decision?
I’d love to hear what value you’ve gotten from this post, let me know in the comments below. I hope you have a great day!
The decision to stay home or work isn’t a choice for many moms. We feel forced into a specific decision due to life circumstance. It’s possible to be confident and happy with your choice.

That’s what Live & Local hostess Lauren McDonald was chanting (or was it gasping?) as she took Rush Cycle for ‘a spin’ at our newest location in Colorado Springs.
Owner Josh Hurwitz was grinning from ear to ear, and he wasn’t the only one. McDonald’s wit and curiosity about just how Rush Cycle works, and what makes it different, was charming everyone she talked to.
The 20 minute segment features lead instructor Ashley sharing what makes Rush Cycle so fun for people of all experience and fitness levels.
“It feels more like you’re at a nightclub than a spin studio!” McDonald explained after she stepped out of her first class.
Our total body approach, with dumbbells, dancing, and themed music has already won many hearts in Colorado Springs.
Lead instructor Ashley shared another reason Rush has been such a hit within the community.
“Whether you’re brand new, you’ve been spinning for a while, or you’re an elite athlete, you can get a rewarding workout here.” Ashley explained.
It’s more than the workout that people are coming for. Community is a huge part of what we do, and we’re proud to say that our new Colorado Springs location has that down to a tee.
“Even if you’re a new rider, you’ll be welcomed here as part of the community right away.” Owner Josh Hurwitz assured the crew.
For an inside look into this new Rush location and the Rush experience, watch the full segment below. Be sure to also check out our Highlands location for cycling classes in Denver.

Grab a seat ’cause the next lesson is about to begin!
Last time, we got to talk about three conversion elements and how to use them. I hope you got the chance to try them out and see the results. If you remember, I also said that you need to do a lot of testing before you know for sure what works.
This time around, we’ll be a bit more ambitious and aim for nine more conversion elements. Remember that our goal at this point in the lead generation process is to get email addresses.
We used a hellobar ourselves together with a slideup box and got pretty good results. Our current pop-up seems to work better for our audience, though.
I can already hear you say “Florin, we already talked about pop-ups!” Yeah, we did, but these are a special kind of pop-up, it has more in common with bottom of article conversion elements than with pop-ups.
That wraps it up for this lesson. In the next one, we’ll take an in-depth look at landing pages.

I told my girlfriend we were heading to a family dinner and she had no idea what I was going to do next. It took about 2 months of planning, including doing test shots, equipment check, and I’m happy to say, everything went pretty smooth on the actual day. It literally took a village to pull this off.

I’m trying to crystalize my own thinking around what microservices are, and how they differ from traditional SOA services.
Microservices are clearly a form of SOA service, which we can also call Web services (…a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network…). Some people will say that microservices are just SOA services, and this is just a new name for something we’ve been doing before. The reality though is that building applications using microservices is about quite a bit more that the architecture of the services themselves. Sure, some of the rules or guidelines that define microservices (Martin Fowler and James Lewis above describe 9 characteristics in their seminal post) do relate to the architecture of the services, but others are about things external to the microservice itself. The things that appear to me to distinguish microservices from any other service-oriented architecture are the inclusion of DevOps principals, particularly configuration as code, and the strong bent towards containerization as popularized by Docker. One thing I’ve seen and heard a fair bit is that Microservices is SOA+DevOps+Containers, and I think this is a reasonable way of thinking about it from a marketechture perspective.
I’d like to be a bit careful though. While microservices is the intersection of SOA, DevOps, and Containerization, it is certainly not all of each of these things.
Not every SOA service will be a microservice. Many SOA services are exposed from existing monolithic applications to enable enterprise integration scenarios, and are definitively not microservices, in fact, very few SOA services will display the characteristics of a microservice.
Not all DevOps programs will be in place to support the development and operation of microservices. It really doesn’t matter how an application or service is architected, it can benefit from an agile approach to development and operations.
Not all containers will be running microservices. From the webopediea article above, “containerization is a lightweight alternative to full machine virtualization”. You can run anything in a container; it doesn’t have to be a microservice.
Think of it as the left side of the diagram, not the right.
Another thing to consider is that Containerization in this context is an enabler for Continuous Delivery and so should really be considered part of DevOps, but from a mindshare perspective, and as an easily consumable way of thinking about how some things fit together the Venn diagram above works quite well.
Of course the microservices paradigm involves a lot more than this simplistic view, in upcoming posts I’ll ponder how we can reconcile the need for containers to be immutable with the need for a microservice to own its own data, and will start to discuss when you should use SOA services, APIs, and Microservices.
Thank u for this article. it is very useful to me.!

Investors can be conservative, moderate or aggressive. The type of investor that you are will dictate your decisions and strategies when it comes to managing your investment portfolio.
In the same vein, there are also different types of traders – both in the stock market and in currencies or forex.
Today’s guest post will talk about what these types are, particularly in forex trading, so that you if ever you decide to become a trader, then it will be easier for you to choose which one you’d like to be.
Are you the type of trader who never leaves open positions after a trading session or are you someone who is willing to wait hours or even days holding positions? Are you satisfied with just a few hundred pips of profit, or are you aiming for something bigger?
Your answers to these are among the factors that determine what kind of trader you are. While we all have our own terms for the different kinds of traders and their respective styles, the generally accepted terms for trader types fall into three designations: day traders, swing traders and position traders.
So what differentiates these trader types from one another? Let’s take a look.
Scalpers are the ultimate short term traders. They operate in even smaller time frames than day traders. They are frenetic traders who spend a large chunk of time glued to their chosen markets, making scalpers among the most dedicated traders.
Capital: While scalpers don’t necessarily need a large amount of capital to begin trading, they will need a steady flow of money in order for them to take advantage of any opportunities that pop up in the marketplace.
Target profits: Scalpers don’t rely on large trades for their profit, but rather small gains multiplied over a large amount of small trades. Over time, these small gains add up to a substantial amount. Think of them being similar to business owners who sell products at a lower rate – with lower profits per item sold – but make up for it by the sheer amount of merchandise moved.
Day Traders live their trading lives one small chunk at a time. They’re they guys who aim for short term trades, usually for periods of less than 20 minutes. Since they trade in very short time frames, they tend to focus more on immediate trends than long term bias.
Capital: Often (but not always), one of the reasons day traders trade the way they do is that they don’t have that much capital to absorb early losses. Thus, day traders can survive with a smaller capital base than other trader types.
Target profits: Day traders don’t leave positions open for very long, so they are rather limited with their potential profits. These kinds of traders usually profit on volume rather than home runs, with profit usually below 100 pips per trade.
Swing Traders hold trades for longer periods of time, usually up to a few days. These kinds of traders have the luxury of not constantly monitoring trades, with the flip side of requiring a bit more patience with the market.
Capital: Swing traders will need more capital than day traders in order to weather the storms of volatility that will inevitably come their way. Capital for swing traders should be enough that they don’t hit the margin call level.
Target profits: Due to the longer time frame of open trades, swing traders can potentially earn larger profit, with up to hundreds of pips per trade between opening and closing of positions. Swing traders are able to capitalize on medium term trends in the marketplace.
Position Traders are the guys with the largest capital. They can hold trades for up to years depending on their trading strategy. Position traders are uncommon with the “regular” crowd, due to the high capital requirements.
Capital: These traders will experience the extreme ups and downs of the market, and they will need to have enough capital in order to weather the strongest storms. This means a larger capital than what most people will usually invest in the market.
Target profits: All that patience means that position traders often enjoy highest potential payoff. Due to the luxury of being able to follow long term trends, these traders can often earn up to thousands of pips per trade.
Sir forgive me for my negative question, suppose I started trading stocks worth P10,000 during the opening and at the end of the day, due to a bearish market, I lost the same amount, am I still considered invested?

This is a medium size pu-erh tea storage bag made of 'breathable' cotton. It is in a very traditional design with a pull cord on top for closing the bag. It can be used for tea cakes or any other shapes and forms of Pu-erh teas. It serves to keep the opened and unopened pu-erh teas from dust, yet allow them to breath and ferment naturally. We recommend to use put pu-erh teas in a storage bag as such before storing them in cardboard box at a cool, dry place that is lack of foreign odours.

As the county seat of Faulkner County Arkansas, it’s often considered to be a suburb of Little Rock. However, Conway is a city all on its own. Conway serves well as a regional shopping area as well as a hub for education, healthcare, sports, work and more.
Conway is home to three prestigious post-secondary institutions thus earning it the nickname “City of Colleges”. Per the 2015 census, Conway has a population of 64,980 which makes it the seventh largest city in the state of Arkansas.
Conway is well-known for an interesting trivia fact that they are home to one of the world’s largest school bus manufacturers. The company, IC Corporation has two plants. The other plant is located in the state of Oklahoma. Formerly known as American Transportation or AmTran, and Ward Body Works. It was founded in 1933. In 2010, they closed all of their plants save for the Tulsa location and Conway thus offering jobs for many of the residents.
Other major corporations include Acxiom Corporation which is a global interactive marketing company that utilizes both data, information technology, integration, consumer data, and analytics. The corporate headquarters remain in Little Rock however, there is a fully functioning facility in Conway as well which provides a myriad of jobs to local residents.
In June of 2008, Hewlett-Packard also opened up a facility that employs 1200 people in the are. Just on the outskirts of town, it was built by none other than the local company Nabholtz Construction thus keeping just as many jobs in the area as possible for the local residents.
With hot and humid summers and mild to cooler winters residents enjoy living in a humid subtropical climate. Arkansas is in the Central Standard time zone. Conway has its own fire department, police department and government system functioning independently of its nearby town Little Rock.

DNA analysis plays a key role in any investigation of violent crimes. Collecting, testing and analyzing blood samples is what helps provide critical evidence in court about the manner in which the crime happened along with important proof of the agent who has commited it. What used to be called forensic serology has now become forensic DNA analysis, since the first term became outdated. The reasons behind this difference of taxonomy lay in the main object of study and on its characteristic of consisting in blood exclusively.
Within the history of criminology, not only the term but the object of the investigation is relatively recent and includes lab work, biological material examination,working with law enforcement entities, collaboration with other forensic specialists, using lab and computer equipment that is utterly fragile.
In case of a crime, the DNA specialist is brought at the crime scene in order to identify blood samples, before the place is being disturbed in order for the team to find further evidence. The blood stain patterns and their disposition have a crucial role in understanding whether or not there has been a struggle or not or how many parts were involved in the conflict, for instance. After having collected the blood samples, the laboratory analysis is going to determine if the blood belongs to the victim or to a possible suspect. The second alternative indicates who else was at the crime scene. The most important type of DNA is not the blood actually, but the fingerprints left behind in the blood.
If DNA is portrayed as a complicated strand of code, the specialist analyzing the case is the one to have access to the coding process and its results. Matching DNA from the crime scene with the one of a suspect represents an impregnable proof in solving crimes, procedure that also makes most of the subjects to confess in order to avoid tougher punishment.
The DNA analysis team includes more specialists, at least one one for each step of the investigation. Detectives and other forensic personel can also be very useful during the case analysis. The specialists’ presence in court rooms is highly important because of their expertise in the field and the relevance of their confessions. Another fact to be known for anyone who wishes to become a forensic DNA specialist is being capable of owrking under stress and in unfriendly conditions, especially when highly important cases occur. Otherwise, the work program is made of standard workdays, except for when they are required to go at a crime scene.
The job represents a highly specialized spectrum and job includes activities such as analyzing and preparing the tissue samples along with interpreting the results whose purpose is to determine if the blood is related to criminal evidence. A highly strict protocol has to be followed during the analysis, as well as when handling and storing blood samples. As above mentioned, it is sometimes necessary for the forensic DNA investigator to testify as expert witness on his findings.
The typical educational requirements for anyone who wishes to become a DNA specialist in investigations is a bachelor’s degree in biology, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, forensic sciences or biochemistry. These educational programs are the only ones assuring the employer that the new candidate has the necessary specific knowledge necessary on the field, as well as it works as a guarantee for proficiency in working with the evidence in terms of procedures, techniques, applications, terms or scientific principles of DNA analysis. Extra qualifications in immunology, infectious diseases or genes development is extremely helpful for the candidates. As most of the universities require mandatory presence in laboratory work, most of the students are going to be familiarized with lab processes, equipment and procedures.
The job requirements of the Federal Bureau of Investigation include Bachelor’s degree in biological science, at least 6 months of forensic DNA experience, excellent written and oral communication skills and the experience with ABI 377, 3100, 310 genetic sequences is described as desirable for any applicant.
Along with the educational degree that has to be satisfactory in terms of knowledge and practical skills, the field also requires attention to detail, ability to solve problems, analytical thinking as much as good speaking and writing skills (the latter are usually useful in court or in the written reports of the researches).
Some of the potential employers of forensic DNA investigators include healthcare facilities (such as hospitals), crime labs of different sizes (provincial, national, international), private research labs, biotechnology companies as well as universities and colleges for the research work. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States of America, the report of 2010 specifies that during the future 10 years since the moment of the research the forensic science has the possibility to grow with approximately 19%. Currently there are over 13,000 jobs in the field only in the United States, and are believed to increase with 2,400 jobs during this decade.
The salary of a forensic DNA investigator vary on the level of experience, the nature of the employing organization, the level of education and training etc. The median salary in the United States of America is about $51,570 per year, while in Canada it is about $40,543 per year. The lowest 10% of the forensic science technicians in the United States of America earned approximately $32,300, while the highest 10% were payed with $85,210 a year.

I felt stuck in the checkout line behind a long-winded gossip monger. Judy Hammer, newly installed as the superintendent of the Virginia State Police, and Andy Brazil, a state trooper and Hammer's right hand and confidant, find themselves at their wits' end as they try to protect the public from the politicians-and vice versa-in this pitch-perfect, darkly comic romp. I kept hoping it would get better, but it never did! I have a crooked table leg to fix. Get Well Wishes to Ms. Postmortem, was the first bona fide forensic thriller. One messy, tangled case that can shatter a career.
Because this soldier's son is on his way into the darkness, where he finds a tangled drama of desperate desires and violent death--and a conspiracy more chilling, ingenious, and treacherous than anyone could have guessed. But it stretches the most elastic of poetic licenses. I even wrote to the publisher demanding my money back. Then the dominoes really start to fall. I gave it one star because there aren't any negative stars in the reviewers' pull-down menu. Worst book I have ever read. Now, with this 1 New York Times bestselling novel, she outdoes herself, with a wry tale of life and turmoil behind the blue wall.
It certainly comes over that way. So with mixed feeling I give this audio book a three star rating. Now, with this 1 New York Times bestselling novel, she outdoes herself, with a wry tale of life and turmoil behind the blue wall. It's a highly unbelievable plot with unrealistic caricatures of people. It has absolutely no good points. There's no cerebral humor here -- just school-yard slapstick that's far too fragile to sustain a full-length novel. The scary part is that I really believe that there are self indulgent politicians with self involved family members, crooked cops and enough stupid people to make this almost a true story.
The daughters--equally dumb, fat, and obnoxious to boot, make up the discontent family of political squatters in the Richmond Capital Mansion. The essays are in the book. Chaos breaks loose when the governor of Virginia orders that speed traps be painted on all streets and highways, warning that speeders will be caught by monitoring aircraft flying overhead. Third-party sites are multimedia services that allow you to read and download e-books. But if you are after a light comedy and don't mind the lack of gripping forensic science that has made Cornwell famous then this book is for you. Patricia Cornwell has been one of my favorite authors for years, but this book was just terrible.
Very minimal damage to the cover including scuff marks, but no holes or tears. The scary part is that I really believe that there are self indulgent politicians with self involved family members, crooked cops and enough stupid people to make this almost a true story. I kept reading, thinking, she'll address this at some point, but about halfway through the book, I realized it wasn't going to happen. Within hours the general's wife is murdered hundreds of miles away. I have enjoyed her Scarpetta series, but this one was terrible. Instead the eccentricities of the characters took over the story, which was flimsy at best, and resulted in a poor imitation of a Monty Python sketch.
From the Charlotte Observer, Cornwell moved to a job with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia — a post she would later bestow upon the fictional Kay Scarpetta. They deserved better, despite being weak creations to begin with. I can't speak for Tangerians, as I have never been to the island, but I can't imagine they're as stupid and backwards as she has made them out to be, and believe me, I've heard stories. The plot is a second-rate ripoff of Southern Cross - the sweet innocent adolescent in the company of young hoods, Judy and Andy chasing them, etc. The men and women in blue -- as you've never seen them before.
That is, locially, why this book was ripped off the shelf by me. Kay Scarpetta herself won the 1999 Sherlock Award for the best detective created by an American author. This book establishes that Cornwell will have to write off any thought of ever using Judy Hammer and Andy Brazil as serious characters again. Nobody knows what was in it. However, the Andy Brazil series takes the cake. I listened to this as a audio book and am now wishing that there was a way to rated the narration separate from the book. The If you're looking for a good Kay Scarpetta adventure, skip this book.
Now, with this 1 New York Times bestselling novel, she outdoes herself, with a wry tale of life and turmoil behind the blue wall. Best of all, if after reading an e-book, you buy a paper version of Isle of Dogs Andy Brazil Series 3. It's a shame when authors start believing their own reviews and decide that their fans will, sheeplike, cherish everything that falls from their word processors. Now Salander is fighting back. But the eccentric island of Tangier, fourteen miles off the coast of Virginia in Chesapeake Bay, responds by declaring war on its own state. Publishing all those long-winded and pointless essays that for some reason have all Virginia going wild? But then it also wasn't serious enough to be taken seriously - it was kind of the worst of both worlds. However, Isle of Dogs is not part of the Scarpetta series.

Since the 2009 baseball Season came to a close for Our Washington Nationals, General Manager Mike Rizzo has been quite the busy person. Slowly and methodically, he's been rebuilding, reorganizing and transforming D.C.'s Baseball team--from the top side down. Today, more moves in the front office with the hiring of a well-respected baseball mind as Special Advisor, and the promoting a tireless background scout of the past three seasons to a new position of Director of Professional Scouting.
Ron Schueler becomes one of "Riz's" new right hand men. And Bill Singer upgrades from Special Assignment Scout and Pacific Rim Coordinator. Coming on the heels of three major baseball operations hires on October 15th and the subsequent additions of Casey McKeon as Director of Player Procurement and Jay Robertson as a special assistant to the GM last week--it's clear that Mike Rizzo's reach is throughout the game.
And he's using that to Washington's advantage.
Our New GM seems to have, not only pull, but the conviction to convince other talent evaluators in baseball that what Our Washington Nationals are attempting to accomplish at this point is time--is worth coming on board and being a part of. That's a good thing because in just a short period of time in charge, Mike Rizzo clearly has determined who on his acquired staff needed to be maintained--and who should not--while understanding there are better folks out there to serve Washington's many needs.
Sohna and I love the fact that Rizzo's not playing the Old Boys Network. The hiring of old friends and associates (think Cincinnati here). He is legitimately looking throughout the game for top judges of baseball skills--not just those looking for a paycheck. Clearly, many new hires, promotions and pink slips come when a new boss takes a new job. But it's also important for the top guy to set a new tone and move Our Franchise in a positive direction.
Certainly, Mike Rizzo knows all these folks personally he's recently added to his Baseball Operations office, but none of those coming over from other ball clubs has Mike ever work under--or for.
It would be hard to dispute the maneuvers committed to by Mike Rizzo over the past month. What once appeared to be a patchwork organization clearly has a more defined structure now. The new system being installed for finding and working with baseball talent--both on the amateur level and in the professional game--is nearing it's front office makeover conclusion. The results of which will hopefully build stronger roots--providing the foundation every franchise needs--to win consistently for years and years and years to come.
No Old Boys Network Any Longer.
And you know Our New Manager's Decision is coming next, followed by roster moves. The determining of whether players currently on the 40-Man Roster should be resigned, offered arbitration or non-tendered. The opening salvos to the upcoming GM & Winter Meetings when The Hot Stove League truly comes to life and the horse swapping of talent between teams sets into full swing. The time of year when any organization must know what cards they have and which should be played. Understanding what you got and can get, honest evaluations that Washington should better be able to handle this off-season, thanks to the six new front office additions and two promotions handed out since October 15th by Mike Rizzo.
The Washington Nationals today named Ron Schueler Special Advisor to the General Manager. The Nationals also promoted Bill Singer to Director of Professional Scouting. Nationals Senior Vice President and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcements.
A 42-year baseball veteran, Schueler joins the Nationals after serving the previous two seasons as Senior Advisor of Player Personnel for the San Francisco Giants. Schueler is perhaps best known for an 11-year stint (1990-2000) as General Manager of the Chicago White Sox, during which his clubs compiled an 817-734 record and a .527 winning percentage while finishing first or second in the AL Central or West eight times, including a pair of division titles in 1993 and 2000.
In 2000, his final season as General Manager, Schueler’s White Sox were named “Organization of the Year” by Baseball America.
In addition to his tenure as White Sox General Manager, Schueler has served in various special assistant capacities with the Cubs, Cardinals and Athletics, earning World Championship rings with St. Louis in 2006 and Oakland in 1989. He was also a pitching coach with the White Sox (1979-81), Athletics (1982-84) and Pittsburgh Pirates (1986). Schueler pitched for eight big league seasons (1972-79) with the Braves, Phillies, Twins and White Sox.
Singer’s new duties will include coordinating, scheduling and administering all Nationals major league, minor league and winter league scouting efforts. He most recently served the Nationals as a Special Assignment Scout and Coordinator/Pacific Rim Operations.
Singer joined the Nationals in 2006 after a three-year stay with the Arizona Diamondbacks as Major League Scout, where he worked under Rizzo. Singer was a two-time All-Star during his playing career, which included a pair of 20-win seasons (with the Dodgers 1969 and Angels in ‘73) and 118 wins. He has well over 30 years of professional experience as a player, area scout, national crosschecker, professional scout and international scout.
imagine if MLB didn't destroy the Expos those few years they owned the club?
3rdStoneFromTheSun: There is a lot of truth to that statement. Sohna and I were just talking about how good the Expos were at finding and developing talent. All lost first due to poor ownership in Montreal, then MLB's stewardship.

A Phoenix man accused of stealing nearly $1.3 million from homeowners associations has agreed to a plea deal to spare his wife prosecution.
Under the proposed agreement, the indictment against Nancy White would be dismissed. Other charges against Harlow White would also be dropped.
Prosecutors say the couple made unauthorized transfers from accounts of HOA clients of Eagle Property Management Inc. for personal expenses.
Their two daughters and a former son-in-law have already pleaded guilty in the case. All four will be sentenced next year.

This is a first annual contest and the promoters Ric Gilbert and Ben Lobenstien did a superb job taking good car of us cook teams - dang, this is hard work, especially for a two person team. But when a competitor-turn-promotor puts an event together, you can bet your sauce secrets that it's a *must attend* event.
Anyway this event was covered by local press, the Sacramento Bee and we landed a little thumbnail about half way down the article. Click the thumbnail below for the full sized version.
The picture features our cook site setup. Our canopy with flag (hey, it's 4th of July after all), and our truck on the left. Our cooker trailer is directly behind the canopy, and say, who's that handsome guy on the right?.

I took a supplement last night that’s supposed to help people who lift weights to gain more muscle. It’s called ZMA. Nothing exotic; just zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6. Within an hour I wasn’t feeling great; in two I was miserable. It’s hard to pinpoint how I felt, except to say that my head hurt and I was jittery in a strange way. I looked at the label and the B6 dose is really high, like over 500% of the daily recommended dose. I looked up side effects of excess B6 and it can cause nerve damage. Good grief! Why in the world are companies permitted to market and sell a product purportedly to help someone get healthier, which can actually cause physical harm? Unbelievable.
The lesson I learned from this is one I should have already learned. Do the research before you start taking the supplement, or medication, or anything else you put into your body. Get the majority of your nutrition from natural food, not pills and powders. Believe it or not, I did look at the ingredients in ZMA, as I do the other supplements I take, and thought it’d be good because what it contains are natural substances that the body requires. Problem is, you can take toxic amounts of some vitamins and minerals. I think that was the case with this product.
While I was experiencing the reaction to ZMA I was praying that God would heal me. I ate a little, vomited a little, took an over the counter pain reliever, drank water, and waited. I believe God answered my prayer fairly quickly. Within an hour I felt well enough to lay down, and I eventually fell asleep. I feel great today! Thank God.
I wrote an essay about balance last week, and this is another example of the need for that practice in life. Too little vitamin B6, zinc or magnesium will cause a variety of physical problems. Too much of these essential nutrients is toxic and causes different problems. What we need it proper balance. I am in balance today and I feel healthy.
Today is leg day in my weight workout schedule. Legs are difficult because it’s such a large muscle group. I’m in the middle of a protocol known as German Volume Training or the 10 Sets Method. The idea is to do ten sets of ten repetitions of two different exercises in a superset. On leg day. I do squats, which require a lot of effort normally, but they are paired with leg curls. You do ten repetitions of squats, wait 90 seconds, then do ten reps of leg curls, wait 90 seconds and go back to squats. Back and forth I go until ten sets of both exercises are completed. It takes a lot out of you.
I didn’t want to do that leg workout today. I started to make excuses: I don’t feel well because of last night, my legs feel tired, I feel tired. However, I went to the gym and did the workout. Actually, I did eight sets because it felt like there might actually be something amiss. Now I feel great. Balance. The body needs to be active in order to remain healthy. If I would have sat around it wouldn’t have been healthy. If I would have pushed it, it may have been too much (today).
The Bible has something to say about discipline, which I believe applies here. “All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but in the end it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness” (Hebrews 12:11). That verse is speaking about receiving discipline from God, but it applies to self-discipline as well. In fact, if you discipline yourself by being obedient to God and doing what He says, He won’t have any reason to correct you with outside discipline.
So, eat healthy, stay active listen to God and do what he says. He speaks through Jesus Christ, the Son, and in the Bible, his written message. In this way you’ll stay in balance and be happy.

Generally I'm Ok with wintertime, colder temps, snow and so on. Well, these past few weeks of very cold weather are testing that belief right now, so as a way to combat the negatives of winter, I've decided to do something fun this Friday.
To the right is a photo of my son Nathan, taken last week. I was about to head out and shovel the snow (again) last Saturday, when this crazy idea came into my head, to put my knit hat on Nathan's head and my big leather shoveling gloves on his hands.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's... Lobsterboy!
Nathan loved it! In fact, we had a hard time catching him on camera, because he was running around the house in this getup. I caught him on camera as he ran about and finally, he stopped at the fireplace for a photo session, where I got this shot.
Have a great (and warm) weekend!

Powiadom mnie, jak tylko Gastrophysics się pojawi.
Why do we consume 35% more food when eating with one more person, and 75% more when with three? Why are 27% of drinks bought on aeroplanes tomato juice? How are chefs and companies planning to transform our dining experiences, and what can we learn from their cutting-edge insights to make memorable meals at home? These are just some of the ingredients of Gastrophysics, in which the pioneering Oxford professor Charles Spence shows how our senses link up in the most extraordinary ways, and reveals the importance of all the &amp;amp;amp;apos;off-the-plate&amp;amp;amp;apos; elements of a meal: the weight of cutlery, the placing on the plate, the background music and much more. Whether dining alone or at a dinner party, on a plane or in front of the TV, he reveals how to understand what we&amp;amp;amp;apos;re tasting and influence what others experience. Mealtimes will genuinely never be the same again.

Since Muse’s new transformation, Kyle has come to grips with her new assignment. Luke Skywalker will train Muse to become a Jedi knight.
With the FIRST ORDER still on the lookout for Luke Skywalker, the band of two carefully make their way back to the secret place of Luke’s exile.
Little does the two travelers know that the ghost of Emperor Palpatine has found the Dark Muse, and is using her as a means of controlling the FIRST ORDER to rebuild the GALACTIC EMPIRE.
Having thought about it, I am quite excited that my Muse is going to be a Jedi. With the training that she will receive from Luke, I know that she is in good hands. Right now, she is probably becoming proficient as a Padawan learner.
Muse: Phew! I just finished my training for today.
Muse: The training? To be honest, I’m really enjoying it. Luke told me that I’m making a lot of progress.
Muse: He told me that my midi-chlorians were extremely high. Now I know what those are, since he already explained that to me.
You should be careful. Anakin’s midi-chlorians were also high.
Well, that tells you something. Anakin became good at the end.
How are you with a lightsaber?
Muse: I’m actually better than I thought that I would be with it. Luke called me a prodigy, and told me that I’m learning everything faster than he did.
And that was from only one day of training. Imagine how advanced you will be in a week or two.
Muse: Luke told me that as fast as I’m advancing, that I will probably be a Jedi Master in a month.
Muse: There’s no Jedi Council yet. Luke has already trained Rey, and she is making amazing progress.
How is Rey compared to you?
Muse: Rey is far more advanced than me, but Luke told me that I will easily surpass her in a couple weeks.
She is pretty strong from what I saw of her. She is definitely much stronger than that by now.
Muse: Yes, and we have found a few new Resistance members that are Force-sensitive. Luke is also training them.
How is Luke getting them all to his secret place?
Muse: He isn’t. They are all traveling there, based on the data that they have to get there.
Then why did they send Luke to find you? Luke has a big target on his back!
So did he find you using the Force?
Muse: Of course. When you saw me awoke, I felt different, and Luke was able to explain why.
I’m guessing that all those midi-chlorians made it easy for him to find you.
Higher than Master Yoda? You’re not possibly higher than Anakin, are you?
Muse: No. Luke told me that my midi-chorlian count was 21,000. Anakin’s was 27,000.
I guess that’s why he said that you would surpass Rey. I’m guessing her count is not as high.
Finn? Luke’s training him too?
Muse: Yes. And embarrassingly enough, I am no match for him right now.
You will be soon. With that count, you will be able to best even Luke.
Muse: Even so, he could still win. Luke is a Jedi master, and was able to even win against his father.
So are you going to relax tonight?
Muse: I’ll try to. I need to head back. Rey and the others are having dinner. I don’t want to miss it! Bye Kyle!
That’s nice to hear that update. At her rate, she will be a Jedi knight within a week.
In reality, work was pretty busy today. Since then, I have taken a breather, getting ready for tomorrow’s shift.
Today’s high is going to be 59 degrees and the silver lining is having the evening to unwind.
To those of you who like unwinding after a busy day, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Where was I? I was just talking to Kyle!
Rey: Did you say Kylo? Like Kylo Ren?
Muse: No. KYLE. He’s my da…I mean, the one who created me.
Rey: That’s good to hear. With you on board, we should be able to create a Jedi training school very soon. The Jedi’s are about to return with a vengeance!
Dark Muse: Who are you? You look like a scary old man. Tee hee!
Palpatine: I am Darth Sidious. How would you feel if you could possess incredible power?
Dark Muse: I like power! Tee hee!
Palpatine: Then give yourself over to the dark side. You will learn all the ways of a Sith. The power then will be granted.
Dark Muse: Gimme the power! I want it NOW! Tee hee!
Dark Muse: I have it. Everything that he promised. The time has come…to rebuild the empire! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!

Raindrop is a fun and flirty typeface that pulls inspiration from editorial illustration. Each letter was carefully crafted to feel hand made and give the appearance of custom lettering. Through a variety of stylistic alternates and pairings, Raindrop is the perfect typeface choice for projects that aim for a one-of-a-kind feel when hiring a lettering artist isn't an option.
Raindrop is made up of three separate styles being serif, sans, and script. The ability to pair styles together will add texture and personality to your design, leaving the viewer wondering: lettering or type?

While there will be some team sites out there doing other things for their team’s playoff wins– I’m feeling like I need to have a decent gimmick for the playoffs when it comes to the Capitals. Of course, this team hasn’t been past the second round since 1998, but this year….this year feels odd. A team that didn’t look the best at times, their solid portion of their game (Braden Holtby) looking very human, but getting help offensively in a big way.
Plus, they didn’t win the President’s Trophy, so I’m happy with that. Better odds to win.
However, this year– I’m doing to do something called “Winning By The Numbers” for the Capitals this playoffs. With each playoff win– I’ll pick one former Capital whose jersey number coincides with that playoff win. Like with win #1– Pete Peeters or Mike Liut, #2 for Garry Galley or Ken Klee, and so on and so forth. Maybe even get past Yvon Labre and just have a post for #8 about Larry Murphy where it’s just me typing out “WHOOP” for 500 words worth.
My goal is to get all the way to #16 and my favorite player of all-time in the NHL: Bengt Gustafsson.
There you have it– I’ve done my part, time for the Caps to do theirs.

More than one name can identify people, animals, or things.
Lewis Carroll is a famous British author.
"Author" is another name for "Lewis Carroll."
A predicate nominative is a noun that follows the verb and renames the subject person, animal, or thing. It explains or defines the subject and is identical with it. The subject and the predicate noun are joined by a linking verb such as am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been, become, or seem. We remember that a linking verb does not show action, nor does it "help" the action verb. Its purpose is to connect the person, animal, or thing (the subject) to its new name, the predicate noun.
Examples are circled in the sentences below.
If we reverse the subject and the predicate nominative, as in the sentences below, the meaning of the sentence is not affected.
Reversing the subject and predicate noun in this manner helps us to determine how the predicate functions. If the linking verb is not a "to be" verb, we replace it with a "to be" verb to determine whether there is a p. n. that renames the subject.
John Adams became president after George Washington.
Alice in Wonderland became a popular story for children.
Rufus King remained a U.S. senator for twelve years.
Now we reverse the nouns in the subject and predicate, and we see that the predicate does indeed rename the subject. The meaning is the same, so we have identified a predicate noun.
The president after George Washington was John Adams.
A popular story for children was Alice in Wonderland.
A U.S. senator for twelve years was Rufus King.
The p. n. might be more difficult to identify in an interrogative sentence. Turning the question into a statement will help.
Question: Is Lewis Carroll the author of Alice in Wonderland?
Statement: Lewis Carroll is the author of Alice in Wonderland.
In the statement above, we see that "author" renames "Lewis Carroll." Therefore, "author" is a predicate noun.
Expressions may be compound, as in the sentences below.

In my previous blog post we spoke about working with the inner energy in our meditation. Certainly working with the energy was a big shift for me. Once I began feeling the chakras and moving the energy my meditation became much more exciting.
But still there was a “problem,” – my own mind.
Whenever I sought to meditate I would work with my energy and try to quiet my mind. But it just felt impossible! Sometimes the mind would clear, like seeing the clouds part in the sky and light shining through.
There would be moments of clarity. Sometimes a bit of space and a fleeting experience of peace.
Most times there would be a parade of thoughts through my mind that I never seemed to be able to control.
It felt like I could not escape from the thinking.
It was at this point I was ripe for breakthrough number three. I needed to understand my own mental voice… the mental narrative and how to detach from it.
That is what I want to share with you in this blog post.
In a previous blog post I shared that managing my inner energy dramatically impacted my meditation. When we learn to experience our energy body and energy centers (chakras) our meditation practice becomes very powerful.
There is a lot shared about chakras and energy on the internet, but much of it is founded only in ideas and not experience. We may read about chakras and learn about the colors, mantra, crystals, and all that jazz… but that does not give us a tangible understanding of our energy centers.
Only experience can bring true understanding. I am writing this blog to help you have an experience of your energy and your energy centers.
Energy body and energy channels.
The hard truth about chakra meditation.
What you can do to personally experience your energy.

Attorneys representing the Navajo Nation in its successful voting rights lawsuits against San Juan County are seeking more than $3 million in legal fees from the county.
Over the course of the lawsuit, Federal Judge Robert Shelby ruled that the voting districts used by San Juan County for commission and school elections violated the 14th Amendment and a number of federal voting rights laws.
In December, 2017, Judge Shelby signed a ruling that creates new voting districts for all three commission districts and all five school board districts. The ruling calls for elections in 2018 for all eight positions.
The new districts create a strong Native American majority in two of the three commission districts and in three of the five school districts.
Despite the fact that Native Americans make up approximately 50 percent of the population of San Juan County, there has never been more than one Native American on the three-member Commission, or more than two Native Americans on the five-member school board.
San Juan County filed an appeal of the ruling in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and has asked for an expedited decision from the court on the call for elections in all eight voting districts in 2018.
The request asks for attorney fees exceeding $415 an hour for lead attorneys Steven Boos and Eric Swenson, and $200 an hour for other attorneys working on the case.
The request also asks for $120 an hour for legal researcher/paralegal work and $427,654 for the work of hired experts. The filing states that the fees align with prevailing market rates for legal work.
The request outlines roughly $2.4 million in legal fees and roughly $700,000 in costs for a total of roughly $3.1 million plus interest.
The lawsuit has been in the federal court system for more than five years. The initial filing was made in 2012, arguing that the voting districts for the County Commission and School Board should have been redrawn after the 2010 Census.
While the Commission did make minor changes in the districts after the 2010 Census, they did not change the boundaries of the voting precincts.
Eventually, a Special Master was hired by the court to draw the boundaries. Dr. Bernard Grofman created the recommendations for the new boundaries. The recommendation was accepted by Judge Shelby.
The previous voting districts and precinct boundaries were created in the late 1980s after a similar lawsuit. A consent decree to manage the elections was carefully watched by the US Department of Justice Office of Civil Rights (OCR).
Voting districts and precinct boundaries were not adjusted after the 1990 Census, when the OCR was carefully overseeing every aspect of the local elections.
The district boundaries and precincts were also not adjusted after the 2000 Census, when the OCR was continuing to monitor the elections.

We feel so strongly about giving to those in need that a requirement of membership is to donate one quilt each year to our philanthropic efforts—spreading love one quilt at a time. Recipients of our quilt donations last year included Project Linus, Ronald McDonald House, the Veterans' Home of California in Chula Vista, and tornado victims in Moore, OK.

The very latest stories about her career, family, husband, etc.
Amal Clooney is the accomplished British barrister and human rights activist who married actor George Clooney in 2014.
Amal Clooney was born Amal Alamuddin in Beirut in 1978; her family were prominent in the Druze community there, but left Lebanon during the country’s long civil war and settled in London while Amal was still a girl. She attended Oxford University (St. Hugh’s College), earning a degree in law in 2000, then earned a further law degree from New York University.
Her career began at Sullivan & Cromwell in New York, where she specialized in criminal defense and investigations while working for clients including Arthur Andersen and the ill-fated energy company Enron. But she began moving into international law and human rights, working in prosecutor’s ofice at the UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon and at the International Criminal Tribunal for (the former) Yugoslavia.
In 2010, she was hired by London’s prestigious Doughty Street Chambers, which describes itself as “probably the largest and most wide-ranging civil liberties legal practice in the world.” Since then her impressively lengthy resume has included representing Yulia Tymoshenko, the former Ukrainian prime minister, regarding her prosecution in that country; representing Cambodia in a Cambodian-Thai border dispute; taking part in a European Court of Human Rights case about recognition of the Armenian Genocide; advising Greece in its efforts to win the return of the Parthenon Marbles (aka the Elgin Marbles) from the United Kingdom; serving on various United Nations commissions (including as advisor to Kofi Annan in his work as Special Envoy for Syria, and as counsel to the UN inquiry on the use of armed drones); and representing Wikileaks founder Julian Assange during his U.K. extradition proceedings.
She became well-known for both her brains and her looks; the whimsical blog Your Barrister Boyfriend named her London’s hottest female barrister in 2013. That same year she met George Clooney at a charity fundraiser in Venice, Italy; the two began dating, and their engagement in 2014 was one of the most-covered entertainment stories of the year. They were married on 27 September 2014 at the city hall in Venice, and she took the name of Amal Clooney. Their children, twins named Ella and Alexander, were born on June 6, 2017.
She has also been a visiting professor at Columbia Law School and is the co-author of the books The Special Tribunal for Lebanon: Law and Practice (2014) and The Right to a Fair Trial in International Law (due in 2016).

Work towards building a healthier plate that meets your nutritional needs by following the USDA’s recommendations for MyPlate. MyPlate is based on the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and can be used as a reminder to eat healthfully.
MyPlate focuses on the foods that fuel your body properly – fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean proteins using a familiar image, place setting for a meal. Before you eat, think about what goes on your plate or in your cup or bowl.
- Spinach and Mushroom Mini Quiche with Cut Fruit: Fill a muffin tin with diced mushrooms and spinach, fill with egg beaters or whole eggs beaten with a fork. Add a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Try making these ahead of time for the week. In the morning, pop your mini quiche into the microwave for 15 seconds and enjoy!
- BBQ Chicken Pizza: Martin's rotisserie chicken mixed with your favorite BBQ sauce and layered on top of a whole grain tortilla or Naan bread with diced red onion, bell peppers and low-fat mozzarella cheese. Baked in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
- Chicken, Watermelon and Feta Salad: Layer spinach or romaine lettuce leaves with precooked diced chicken, cut watermelon, and feta cheese. Also try adding in toasted slivered almonds into this salad. Toss with a balsamic vinaigrette.
- Avocado Tuna or Chicken Salad on Whole Grain Bread: Mash a fresh avocado with a fork and mix with your canned tuna or chicken, diced red onions, apples, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Layer on top of a whole grain bread.
- Mediterranean Pita: Layer a whole grain pita with hummus spread and grilled vegetables. Try grilled eggplant, zucchini, asparagus mixed with black olives and feta cheese.
- Turkey Caprese Wrap: In a whole grain tortilla, layer sliced deli turkey, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil and fresh tomatoes. Drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette and roll-up into wrap.
- Baked or Grilled Salmon, Roasted Asparagus and Brown Rice: To quickly roast your asparagus, toss washed asparagus with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until desired doneness. Toss with Parmesan cheese for extra flavor once removed from the oven.
- Whole Fruit: Bananas, apples, oranges, etc.
