The overlook will reopen sometime in the fall, with triple the space inside—from 225 square feet to approximately 700, the press release said. The space will also have two entrances, both compliant with the American with Disabilities Act, air conditioning and heating, and LED lighting. Designsensory in Knoxville will design the interior, creating a space where visitors can learn about the Manhattan Project National Historical Park; the story of Happy Valley, a “city” of 15,000 once located next door to the overlook; and the recreational opportunities that surround the overlook, such as trails and boat launches, the press release said.
K-25 was built as part of the Manhattan Project, a top-secret federal program to build the world’s first atomic weapons during World War II. The site continued to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons and commercial nuclear power plants through the Cold War. Now shut down, many of the wartime buildings have been torn down or are being demolished, and the site is slowly being converted into a large industrial park. But there are efforts to preserve the site’s history, including through the K-25 Overlook; the K-25 History Center, Viewing Tower, and Equipment Building; and as part of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park.
The press release said Bionomics has been in Roane County for 28 years, and the company is involved in the disposal of very low-level radioactive waste, working with universities, hospitals, research facilities, and local companies.
The press release said the Roane Alliance is the comprehensive resource in anything and everything concerning businesses, tourism, and economic development in Roane County, which includes the Industrial Development Board, Visitors Bureau, and Chamber, and programs such as Education Matters and Retire Roane. To learn more about the Roane Alliance, call (865) 376-2093 or visit www.roanealliance.org.

looking for a masters workout in austin the morning of 10/20?
Dave - Are you going to Texas to once again brave the Lake Of Death?
yes: but its not texas.... its austin.
You are welcome to swim at Nitro (5:30 - 6:45 am) in Cedar Park, about a 20 minute drive north from downtown Austin. I won't be there on Tuesday, but I can let them know you will be there if you are interested. You might or might not have to share a lane.
i've always considered myself more of a dropout than a drop-in..... wonder if they'd see it that way?
West Austin Aquatic Club. Off of Bee Caves Rd. and Patterson Ln.
From 5:45 to 8:00 a.m. every weekday.
Dave -- get yourself to UT and swim with Ande in the morning with the most fabulous Whitney (hopefully for you) on deck. You'll get a great workout.
i'm going to nitro in the morning. the highland lakes challenge runs wed - sun.
don't know if i'll be looking to double up on those days.
Look for Tom, David, or Steve. They will take care of you.
the highland lakes challenge runs wed - sun.
Wimp. Too bad they don't allow drop-ins at UT, you'd fit right in.
You sure about that? I have and I believe others have.
Nitro will be great, though, as well based upon what I've heard. I haven't swum with them.
Better for you though would be to hop the fence and just do laps in Barton Springs.
According to Ande's blog post they've changed their policy.
ha ha... maybe i could make one of the evening practices....later in the week when the days event is a short 2 miles!
barton springs is nice, but i always scrape my knuckles at the shallow end.
deep eddy is a gem. nice and cool... certainly going for a dip there one of these days.
thanks. i know lynne is going to be there as well.

If you have a pool in the Derwood area, you’ll want to make sure it’s landscaped! A pool paver deck or patio can really complete your home’s overall landscape design and bring your yard to the next level! Flowers, shrubbery, and other greenery can transform a plain pool into a relaxing oasis you’ll never want to leave. If your pool area design doesn’t include landscaping, then it’s not finished!
Ready to landscape your pool area? Do you live in the Derwood, Maryland area? Contact Four Seasons today!
Four Seasons has completed many pool area landscaping projects in the Derwood, Maryland area. No matter what shape or size your pool is, we can transform the area around it to be exactly what you want—whether you want a lush tropical paradise or a two-level paver deck perfect for summer barbeques.
One pool landscape design we completed near the Derwood area used pool jets and low-maintenance aggregate with a dark finish to give the pool area a lagoon look. We also installed low-voltage landscape lighting around the pool.
Water splashing over the side of the pool can turn the ground into a muddy mess, so it’s important to pick landscaping that features well-draining material like stones of river rocks. There are hundreds of different types of natural stones and pebbles in the Derwood area to choose from, so we will work with you to choose material that fits in with your dream design. A big mistake lots of do-it-yourself landscapers make is planting shrubs and flowers too close to the pool. We plant the most attractive shrubs and flowers at the right distance from the pool to help ensure no plants will grow roots underneath it.
Contact us today to learn more about our pool landscape design services in Derwood, Maryland, or if you’re ready to begin your project!

The hottest new couple, Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper, have been getting hot and heavy on the streets, but also under the sheets since they started dating in late April, OK! Magazine can reveal.
An insider told OK! that although their relationship is only a few weeks old, there’s an intense attraction between the Russian model and the actor.
However, the source added that their relationship is a “rebound,” because Bradley just called it quits with model Suki Waterhouse. Irina also just got out of a five-year relationship in January with Cristiano Ronaldo after rumors of cheating.
The new couple, though, is “keeping things light” and enjoying each other thoroughly.
So how could Bradley hurt Irina? For more details on their relationship, pick up the latest issue of OK! magazine, on stands now.

medwireNews: Mortality rates associated with most of the major cancer sites are expected to decline in the European Union (EU) in 2018, research indicates.
Carlo La Vecchia (Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy) and colleagues found favorable trends across men and women for all analyzed tumor types, with the exception of lung and pancreatic cancers in women, the mortality rates associated with both of which are projected to rise this year.
Using the World Health Organization Statistical Information System and the Eurostat database, they estimated age-standardized rates (ASRs) of 128.9 per 100,000 men and 83.6 per 100,000 women in 2018. This compared with rates in 2012 of 143.8 and 88.0 per 100,000 men and women, respectively, which equated to corresponding reductions of 10.3% and 5.0%.
The predicted mortality rates in 2018 are highest for lung cancer, at 32.4 and 14.7 per 100,000 men and women, respectively, but for men this constitutes a decrease of 13.0% from 2012, while the rate is higher by 5.8% for women.
Colorectal cancer is predicted to be the second most common cause of cancer deaths among men and the third most common among women, with ASRs of 15.8 and 9.2 per 100,000 men and women, respectively. But in this case, the estimated 2018 rates are lower than the 2012 values for both men and women, with corresponding decreases of 6.7% and 7.5%.
As reported in the Annals of Oncology, the predicted trends are also favorable in both sexes for bladder and gastric cancers and leukemias, and for breast, uterine, ovarian, and prostate cancers, with reductions ranging from 4–19% relative to 2012.
Finally, the rate of pancreatic cancer-associated mortality is expected to remain stable from 2012 to 2018 among men, but to increase by 2.8% among women.
The study authors estimate an increase in the total number of cancer deaths in 2018 compared with 2012, at 1,382,000 versus 1,333,362 – equating to an increase of 3.6% – but they attribute this rise to the aging population.

Tactile Domes FAQ - Find Answers To Your Questions | Snaptron, Inc.
Q. Do you have local distributors in our area?
A. We do not use distributors. We ship worldwide by any shipping method you prefer. All of our products are manufactured entirely at our facility in Windsor, Colorado, U.S.A. Contact us to set up an account.
Q. How can I purchase metal domes from Snaptron?
A. All purchases are made directly from Snaptron. We offer a variety of ways to purchase metal snap domes. The most common way is by setting up Net 30 terms where we invoice you after a purchase is made. Snaptron also accepts major credit cards or payment in advance.
Q. How are the domes packaged?
A. There are several different packaging methods to choose from, depending on your specific application. The domes can be packaged in bulk (jars), in cartridges for use with the Dart™ placement pen and the SureShot™ automated dome placement machine, in pocketed reels for use with pick and place equipment, on polyester-adhesive sheets (Standard Peel-N-Place arrays or Custom Peel-N-Place arrays), and Peel-N-Place arrays in reel form.
Q. Can the domes be soldered to a circuit board?
A. Not recommended. When the domes are pushed, the feet actually move outward slightly. When soldered to a circuit board, the feet of the domes are restricted from their natural movement. This restriction can negatively affect the tactile response of the domes, and in some cases, cause irreparable damage to the domes or break the solder joint.
Q. How do I secure the metal domes to my PCB, membrane, or flex circuit?
A. Our metal domes are secured by means of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. Several standard material options are available, as well as custom materials. See our Peel-N-Place arrays for more information on placing the domes with tape.
Q. Can your domes be assembled with standard pick-and-place equipment?
A. Yes, Snaptron offers pocketed reel packaging for use with automated placement equipment. We also have dome arrays in reel form that can be placed by fully automated label placement equipment. Please contact us for more information regarding automated dome placement equipment.
Q. What does trip force (Fmax), release force (Fmin), and tactile ratio of a dome mean?
A. Actuation force, or trip force, is the amount of force that is necessary for the dome to “snap,” changing the dome from the open position to the closed position. Typical actuation forces range from 40 grams to 2,250 grams or higher, depending on the size. Snaptron measures actuation force in grams. The release force is the amount of force the dome exerts on itself to return to its relaxed state.The combination of actuation force and release force gives you the tactile ratio for a dome. The higher the tactile ratio, the “crisper” a dome feels when actuated. Snaptron U-Series domes are specifically designed with high tactile ratio. A tactile ratio that is too high may affect the life of a dome in certain applications.
Q. What does it mean to over-travel a metal dome?
Q. Is there a recommended actuator for depressing the domes?
A. While there are any number of different sizes and shapes of actuators, we test the actuation force of our tactile domes with a .050 diameter, flat-bottom plunger. See our Test Procedures for more information on testing the domes. We recommend that your actuator size is no more than 25% of the dome size – anything larger than that has the potential to damage the dome.
Q. Is venting required for optimal dome performance?
A. While venting is not absolutely necessary for every application, it is desirable in almost all applications. When the dome is depressed, air is trapped underneath it. To avoid compressing the air under the dome when actuated, it is recommended that a vent channel be present. The venting of the dome can be achieved a number of different ways. Some examples: a.) vent channel can go from dome to dome via a spacer layer; b.) dome arrays can be top vented through the polyester material; c.) vent channel can go through the board. Not properly venting the dome will result in significant loss of tactile response.
Q. What is the purpose of a dimple in the center of a dome?
A. Various Snaptron domes have a dimple located in the center of the dome. The typical depth of the dimple is .001” to .002”, but may vary depending on the dome style. The theory behind a dimple is that it accentuates contact to the PCB. Although Snaptron does not discourage the use of a dimple, testing has concluded that it is not necessary to make better contact.

Brussels, Belgium: - The poliitical leader (Kalon Tripa) of the Central Tibetan Administration, Dr Lobsang Sangay was invited to address the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament at its extraordinary meeting immediately after the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Macedonia on 29 November.
Dr Sangay expressed his gratitude to the European Parliament for it's consistent support to the non-violent freedom struggle of the Tibetan people and reiterated his commitment to the Middle Way Policy of His Holiness the Dalai Lama for resolving the issue of Tibet.
He also spoke of the recent wave of self-immolations in the Tibetan community and the democratic transition of the Central Tibetan Administration.
Kalon Tripa emphasised the importance for international bodies such as the European Parliament to support those following non-violence and democracy and thus sending the right message to the authoritarian regimes.
Kalon Tripa also met with the Chair of the Greens, MEP Daniel Cohn-Bendit and the head of cabinet of the President of the European Parliament.
Earlier in the morning, Dr Sangay attended the Tibet Intergroup Conference on Genuine Autonomy in the European Parliament where he was the key note speaker. The conference was organised by the President of the All-Party Tibet Intergroup of the European Parliament, MEP Thomas Mann. The panelists consisted of MEPs, sinologists and experts on autonomy. Over 300 participants from EU institutions, national Parliaments, embassies, NGOs, journalists and individuals attended the conference yesterday.
The President of the Tibet Intergroup, MEP Thomas Mann in his opening speech said, "We have to realise that the situation in Tibet is getting worse. In April 2011, Chinese armed forces surrounded Kirti Monastery. As a consequence, a large number of monks committed self-immolation. This drastic form of protest shows their hopelessness and desperation.
"The Tibet Intergroup of the European Parliament urged the European Commission to intervene. The answer from High Commissioner Lady Ashton was that the European Union is alarmed about the reports of detention, beatings and the deaths of monks," Mr Mann added.
MEP László T?kés, Vice-President of the European Parliament and Member of the Committee on Human Rights, emphasised in his speech: "The ongoing human rights dialogues between the European Union and China need urgent reassessment as they have failed to deliver the desired results. The human rights situation in China is worsening, with tighter control on society, as reflected by the recent tragic cases of self-immolation of Tibetan nuns and monks. Europe needs to respond appropriately and effectively and hold the government accountable to live up to its international obligations, as well as to urge China to ratify the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights."
Kalon Tripa, after concluding his three-day visit to Brussels, left for London by Eurostar on Wednesday, 30 November.

The federal government has given $7 million to the restoration of Australia’s oldest public building so that it can permanently house the Whitlam Institute.
The historic Female Orphan School building at the Parramatta campus of the University of Western Sydney will also house the Margaret Whitlam art galleries.
The Whitlam Institute was established at the university in 2000.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard spoke today at the Whitlam Institute and paid an emotional tribute to Whitlam’s political memory.
Text of Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s speech to the Whitlam Institute.
Friends, this year we celebrate the 60th anniversary of Gough’s election to Parliament, which brought into public life one of the finest minds of a great generation.
Gough Whitlam is one of those stars, one of those stars for the Australian nation, for the Labor movement and the Labor Party.
Gough Whitlam would surely have become pre-eminent in whatever profession he chose.
If he’d gone into academia, he would have been a vice chancellor; if he’d gone into the law, he would have been a chief justice.
But he chose politics, because he understood its dignity and he saw its possibilities.
They were wise words then, just as they are wise words now.
Friends, in 2012 the “certain grandeur” of our friend Gough Whitlam endures as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the government that bears his name, while the rancour and pettiness of his opponents pale into merited insignificance.
The thousand days of the Whitlam government were a brilliant, transforming moment – our own touch of Camelot.
Graham and Gough have laid down that record in their writings, their interviews and their lectures.
But it is a story that must speak to future years and future generations as well.
Not only as an artefact of history or literature, but as the inspiration of a living tradition of social action to shape the Australia of tomorrow as Gough has shaped the Australia of today.
So it’s fitting that the Whitlam Institute has found a home here in the region where Gough became the first leader to elevate the needs and aspirations of suburban Australians to the level of national concerns.
Here in the university of which Gough can rightly claim to be the father.
Here, in one of our most important heritage buildings, founded by Governor and Mrs Macquarie to provide care and opportunity for the girls of the new colony.
Indeed, surely there is an appropriate symmetry for me as the first female prime minister of our nation, to be here today to celebrate the fact that more than half the enrolments of this university are now made up of women, many of them migrants and many of them refugees; many more the first in their family to receive the benefits of higher education.
So, it was a wise choice of this venue to host the Whitlam Institute, and my colleagues are here today to celebrate it.
And today we enable the job to be completed with a grant of $7 million to achieve full restoration and functionality of its eastern wing.
That work will include a public library displaying a collection of Gough’s personal books and papers, plus accommodation for the Institute itself.
Perhaps for all of us most poignantly, it will include a public gallery on the top floor named in the honour of Margaret, remembering her lifelong connection with the arts.
And, more broadly, honouring what Gough Whitlam himself called “the longest prime ministerial marriage in Australian history”; a partnership without which the Whitlam legacy cannot even be imagined.
So friends, here today with a contribution from the Federal Government and joined by a contribution from the University itself, we can complete the task began 12 years ago when the University kindly agreed to give the Whitlam Institute a home.
So friends, in these historic walls, one of the nation’s greatest stories can be told and retold, and one of nation’s greatest sons can be esteemed.
Gough, you are in our thoughts today, and we thank you for giving us so much; the men and women of Australia, so much to remember and so much to preserve.

Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap — these two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth — and a false tooth/teeth in between. …Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.

Dr. Wymond: Good morning! This is “Hymns of the Faith,” brought to you by Jackson's First Presbyterian Church. The minister of the First Presbyterian Church is Dr. Ligon Duncan. Stay tuned for “Hymns of the Faith.”… Here with “Hymns of the Faith” is Dr. Ligon Duncan.
We move maybe as far into the modern era of hymnody as we've been in some time on “Hymns of the Faith,” and it seems like we've been sort of plunging into some of the riches of the sixteenth and seventeenth and eighteenth centuries mostly. Now we come to a hymn the text and tune of which were written in the late nineteenth century, right on the beginning of the last quarter of the late nineteenth century, 1875.
But as we were talking off-air before we came on, the text and tune to this hymn probably didn't become popular in the United States until the 1950's through the Billy Graham Crusades. And I'm talking about — and this may surprise a lot of people, because my guess is there will be a lot of people here who have been singing this hymn all of their life and they can't imagine a time when it wasn't popular — it's the hymn To God Be the Glory. It's a very famous Fanny Crosby hymn, but I'm told by the experts that it didn't catch on until Ira Sankey started using it in the Dwight Moody Crusades in Britain, and so it caught on in Britain first, and then when Billy Graham started using it in his Crusades in the 1950's, it caught on in America. Bill Wymond, you were telling us (and you can elaborate on this later) that you can remember it catching on as a young man in Louisville, Kentucky, when Billy Graham was doing his Crusades.
Dr. Wymond: And I suspect that Billy Graham ran into it in Britain perhaps, because he had his early ‘50's Crusades there, and maybe that's where he heard it.
Bill, this is one of those…the tune in so many ways is typical of late nineteenth century, and I guess on our team I'm kind of the late nineteenth century curmudgeon and complain about late nineteenth century hymn tunes, but I actually like this hymn tune a lot. But maybe it would be helpful for you to talk a little bit about refrains and choruses, because late nineteenth century hymns really liked to use refrains and choruses. Surely there was a psychology behind that that was a part of the evangelical movement for using that. Maybe you could opine about that for a little bit.
Dr. Wymond: Well, I think that these are somewhat like certain folksongs, we could say, of the nineteenth century. They became the people's hymns, the folk hymns of the time, and choruses were a feature of them. They were more rhythmically active. They had a lot of dotted notes in them, just like this chorus…[plays]…not that there weren't dotted notes in earlier music, but certain kinds of dotted notes and choruses were one of the chief features of these. I think it was just a reinforcement of the simple idea of the hymn, that they would come back with a chorus and give an extra punch, as it were, with the main thought of the hymn.
This hymn is in ѕ time, and you can't have a sad hymn (or it's hard to have a sad hymn!) in ѕ time, because that's the dance rhythm, the waltz rhythm. And so immediately when you have a hymn in that meter you know that it's going to be a happy hymn.
And this starts off very joyfully [plays]…easy intervals…repetition…resolution…then exhortation: “Praise the Lord, praise the Lord….” And I don't need to continue on with that, but that's sort of the pattern to that hymn.
Dr. Duncan: One question comes into mind. I know in the case of Arthur Sullivan, in a number of his hymns that have choruses, it makes sense that a man who wrote songs for little operettas that had choruses that would have a chorus feature; it also strikes me though, that in the United States you see the same tendency in the late nineteenth century. A lot of people that were using the feature of verse followed by refrain or repeated chorus probably would not have encouraged people to go to the theater or to go hear those things either; and yet, there seems to be a musical influence of a style that was common in the popular culture on the church culture. I may be totally wrong in that supposition, but I just find that interesting.
Dr. Wymond: I think you’re right. If you think about the Stephen Foster songs, the secular songs of the earlier time of the nineteenth century, there are parallels musically. A lot of the folks who wrote these tunes were on the frontier in America. They were not in New York or Boston so much — even though the poet here was. But the musicians were out in Ohio and Kentucky and places like that where the music wouldn't have been as sophisticated.
Dr. Duncan: You know we could talk about Fanny Crosby until the cows come home, and we may have the opportunity to do that today, but I wanted to ask Derek something because this hymn captures one of the things that I know that you really like about late nineteenth century hymnody, and I am in entire agreement with you about it, and that is there is a joy and an exuberance about salvation and Christian experience that just exudes in the text of this song. And the melody, the tune itself sort of catches that. There's a deep gratitude for the saving grace of God to us; there's an almost direct quotation of John 3:16; it emphasizes sort of the experiential response of the soul to the mercy of God.
Derek, talk about why you think that's important in the late nineteenth century hymns and why it's something that we maybe miss out on today in some of the emphases that we get maybe in the more Reformed community.
Dr. Thomas: Well, we talked on a previous occasion (I imagine several previous occasions) about the importance of singing the Psalms. And one of the things you get when singing the Psalms is you get the whole gamut of Christian affections and states of mind and states of heart and soul, so great joy and great sorrow.
One of the features I think of late nineteenth century hymns is that they do tend to be upbeat and joyful and full of assurance. Now that can be a good thing, and it can also be a bad thing. I do think that the expectation of the New Testament is that one ought to have assurance; and I want to add a quick rider to the fact that true believers can lose assurance, and I think that our worship must occasionally reflect that so that somebody who comes to worship who, because of circumstances or trials, may not have the kind of assurance that this particular song reflects. You don't want that person to go away thinking they may not be believers. I think that worship has to be careful to have an all round addressing of Christian affections.
I don't know if that's where you wanted me to go, but I wouldn't want to sing this kind of hymn every day exclusively. It would be like having dessert for morning breakfast, dinner, and supper — which would be OK for me for a while, because I do love desserts and have been known at church suppers to eat the dessert first! But you know, one just loves this hymn not only because of its upbeat and very singable tune.
I actually do like on occasion the use of these choruses. I've been thinking as you two have been talking about the importance of on occasion singing choruses, because you don't have to think quite so hard about a chorus (because you know the words so well) and you can actually give it…it can actually minister to you in a way that sometimes when you’re concentrating on what the next word is, you’re not able to.
Dr. Duncan: And you can find it sticking in your ears hours and hours later. You know, you’ll be walking down the hall and suddenly that chorus will be ringing in your ears and then you’ll sort of listen to it and think about the words.
Dr. Thomas: And that's a Fanny Crosby….
He wrote over two thousand tunes. And I was just thinking as you were talking also about the fact that America was just not sophisticated musically. They were on the East coast somewhat, as I said, but generally there had not been music education in America. So the level of the musical understanding was not as sophisticated as it would have been in Great Britain during the same time, for instance.
Dr. Duncan and Dr. Thomas: That's what it was!
Dr. Duncan: I agree with you one hundred percent.
Dr. Thomas: And occasionally with a hymn like this, one knows this hymn so well and knows the words of this hymn so well you don't need a hymnbook.
Dr. Duncan: Jim Boice had virtually memorized all the hymns that they sang at Tenth Pres, and whenever R.C. Sproul was there, if R.C. sneaked a peek at the hymnal, Jim would nudge him and wink at him and sort of tease him about it because R.C. has a prodigious memory!
But Jim Boice sang everything…he would hold his hymnal in his hand with his finger at the place in the hymnal where the hymn tune is, and sort of rock back and forth on his feet with the hymnbook down to his side. But he would sing it with exuberance. I don't know whether he was a very good singer at all, but he loved to sing and he had the words memorized. And it is a great blessing to know the words by heart of the songs that you are singing.
“To God be the glory, great things He has done!
Dr. Thomas: Well, first of all, now when I sing this hymn I try to close my eyes on that line because I'm tempted to look around and see who's singing “all” and who's singing “we”! [Laughter] And I guess for those listeners who don't sing this from The Trinity Hymnal, they may not even know that this edition of this hymn actually exists. And of course part of the problem for Calvinists is the doctrine of limited atonement, or particular redemption: that Christ died not for everybody, but that atonement was made for the elect and for the elect only. Now you either accept that doctrine or you don't, but assuming that one does accept that doctrine (and I do, and I do so unapologetically), I have a suspicion that the editors would also have edited John 3:16! [Laughter] Because after all it does say “God so loved the world that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” God so loved the world.
Dr. Wymond: Okay, Derek! Let me interrupt you just a minute! You said that Christ died for the elect. Why do you say that, and what's the benefit of understanding that, just in a word?
Dr. Thomas: Well, one argument would be double jeopardy, or double justice: that if Jesus died and by His death propitiated the sins of every single human being that ever was or shall be, bore the covenant anathema of God and retribution that that sin deserves (which is what we mean when we say that Jesus died on the cross for me), if He died for every single individual that ever was and ever shall be — myself, you, Hitler, Mussolini, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, whoever — then if the unbeliever is judged for his sins on the Day of Judgment, as we believe he will be, that sin is being punished twice. It's already been punished at the cross; it's also going to be punished at the Day of Judgment, and you have the classic case of double jeopardy, of double justice.
Dr. Duncan: Let me say this. I think that both of you… Our interest in this, however, is not to try and indoctrinate our non-Calvinistic friends into our particular view of things here as much as to actually explain something that we don't want to convey. And I think a lot of our non-Calvinistic friends might hear us singing “that we may go in” and think that we think there are going to be fewer people in heaven than all those who believe in Christ.
I think it's very important for us to state as Calvinists that we believe that every last individual who has ever lived, lives now, and will ever live, who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is going to be in heaven, whether their theological views are exactly the same as ours on the doctrine of the atonement or not.
Dr. Thomas: I like to say to my students at the seminary that exactly the same number are saved by the Calvinistic scheme as there are by the Arminian scheme.
Dr. Duncan: Yes. And that means that this discussion for Calvinists is about the issue of what Christ's death accomplished. Did it make people "saveable", or did it actually save people? So it's not about getting fewer people saved; it's about helping those who are saved understand the complete sufficiency of Christ's death to accomplish their salvation.
Dr. Thomas: And the editing here actually shifts the meaning, I think, significantly, and I think shifts the meaning of John 3:16 significantly.
Dr. Thomas: Now, my understanding of John 3:16 is that God so loved the world — namely, in a sense He loves everybody to some degree. He loves some savingly and others He does not. He loves all kinds of people. There is no ethnic divide. Let me just take that as an issue, and that's a very, very important issue for us in Jackson, Mississippi. And to be able to say the gospel is for Caucasians, it's for African-Americans, it's for Latin Americans, it's for the Chinese…every people group, every ethnicity…God loves the world in that sense, and “opened the life-gate” that all kinds of people may go in. And it's an evangelistic statement.
Dr. Duncan: Yes, and in the context of the New Testament it was a revolutionary declaration in the context of Jewish particularism where there would have been very many devout Jewish people who believed that it was necessary to be a Jew in order to be saved. And the New Testament declaration is invariably that whether you are Jew or Greek or slave or free or male or female, if your trust is in Jesus Christ you are saved.
Dr. Thomas: Well, the refrain as the editors have done it doesn't quite fit, because the refrain is going to say: “Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice” whereas I've just been saying ‘Thank You, Lord, for saving me’…. ‘let the earth then rejoice’! And rather I think what the poem is saying is God loves all kinds of people in all the world.
Dr. Duncan: And there's a missionary intent to it, isn't there? Our hearts are to be enlarged and to desire the whole world to come to saving faith in Jesus Christ.
Dr. Thomas: …so that this is a great missionary hymn as originally written.
Dr. Duncan: Yes. And let's just say that the best of Calvinists over time have had a very big missionary heart, a heart for the world. In fact, the modern missionary movement in the English-speaking world began with Calvinistic Baptists and Calvinistic Anglicans and Calvinistic Presbyterians sending their sons and daughters off to Africa and India to die.
Dr. Thomas: And actually, in my naughtier moments when I've been standing next to somebody whose Reformed and Calvinistic credentials are unquestionable, have loved to sing “all” right there! [Laughter] But it's a great hymn.
Dr. Duncan: Let's walk through the rest of the stanzas, because even as it opens on this very happy note of praising God and giving Him glory for the salvation that He has accomplished through the atoning work of Jesus Christ — and isn't it wonderful to have a hymn that's glorying in the atoning work of Christ!
We have so many Christians even who call themselves evangelicals today that don't like us to talk about the doctrine of the atonement. Here's a hymn that's just exuberant in its praise to God for the doctrine of the atonement.
“O perfect redemption! The purchase of blood!
That's a line that every Calvinist has absolutely no reservation about affirming, and that again is I think another reason why you’re going to have to change the “all” to the “we” in the first stanza. That second stanza says everything that a Calvinist wants to say. Derek?
Dr. Thomas: Well, I think it's so important to emphasize — perhaps in our circles, particularly — the doctrine of regeneration, the doctrine of being born again, the doctrine that in believing in Jesus “…that moment from Jesus forgiveness receives.” The absolute need to exercise faith in Jesus Christ: I think that's important to preach and I think that's important to sing about.
Dr. Duncan: Yes. And then, the final stanza I think so appropriately culminating with the affirmation that as great as these things are, as great as the things are that God has taught us, as great as the things are that He has done, as great as our rejoicing is in Jesus Christ the Son, there will be something greater. And that is when we see Jesus.
Dr. Thomas: Well, again the redactor has been present! The editor has been present, because the original said, “And purer and higher and greater will be our wonder our rapture when Jesus we see.” And the editor has changed rapture to transport. Perhaps you can elaborate on that.
Dr. Thomas: Actually I remember Professor John Murray, whose Reformed credentials are impeccable, I remember him at a Banner of Truth Conference in Leicester in England saying about this very word rapture here, that it was a perfectly good word.
Dr. Duncan: A perfectly good word, and it is. But I think that was just to remove potential offense from the Reformed ilk in the congregation singing this. Well, enough talk about this great hymn. Bill Wymond, let's hear To God Be the Glory.
“Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice!
Dr. Wymond: We have heard Victor Smith singing To God Be the Glory. This has been “Hymns of the Faith,” brought to you by Jackson's First Presbyterian Church.

A dance-a-thon fundraiser is a creative crowdfunding dance. They are designed for participants to seek pledges beforehand from their friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family. Businesses and corporations also pledge money, and their staff members enjoy forming dance-a-thon teams. Participants agree to pay a certain amount of money for the hours danced, or a flat payment. A dance can be the bomb with outside the box ideas.
Many dance-a-thons run for 24 hours. This idea may not work well for schools, families and community members with late night time and travel constraints. Plan a dance-a-thon fundraiser over Saturday and Sunday from 12-6, or perhaps a little later. Start on Friday night with a fun party and your best moves on the floor.
Add a breakfast or an evening barbeque to attract more participation and networking. Sell tickets throughout your community. Go gourmet with local chefs and attract the foodies.
Ask your dance-a-thon crowdfunding teams to dress in costume. A group of four dressed as Hilary Clinton or Madonna (for example) would be entertaining. Each team dressed as a famous person would liven things up. They could work as a tag team, with one member of the team always on the dance floor. The rules are up to you.
If ever there were an opportunity to sell fun products it is with a dance-a-thon. Form a design team of volunteers with graphic design experience. Take a colorful step and use tango fans to brand your nonprofit. Create memories and bring in more funds with dance-a-thon apparel. Consider using the hard work and creativity put into your successful dance-a-thon products by starting your own nonprofit’s personalized online store. Let supporters display your brand everywhere they go on t-shirts, hoodies and coffee mugs.
Plan more than one band or DJ. You may attract more participation if you appeal to people with various styles of music. Sell tickets to simply come and hear some good music. Put a bit of effort into getting a band and DJ with a following; they may come from other towns or states to help your nonprofit. Research the things they care about, and don’t underestimate their desire to give back.
Open up the floor to anyone who wants to buy a ticket at the door and dance. Add a wine vendor in the late afternoon and evening hours. Have a selection of food and beverage vendors as well. Stay in the minds of your community with social media posts, local radio announcements and newspaper ads.
Partner with a dance school or ballet company. Their presence at your dance-a-thon fundraiser opens another door. A booth or section on the dance floor promotes their organization. Your fundraising event becomes richer as you add the intrigue of learning and enriching the lives of your constituents with an art form. Seek opportunities for dance internships, and raffle free dance lessons and performance tickets at the event.
Ask your volunteers for help in adding big screens and movie projectors. Show some great old dance movies. Add a schedule of classic dance films on your bi-weekly newsletter, fundraising website and nonprofit website homepage. Invite them to buy a ticket at the door to come and watch Singin’ in the Rain and Saturday Night Fever! Engage the whole community by adding dance-a-thon fundraiser ideas for everyone. Attract new donors through dance, music, film, food and an opportunity to help and be a part of your cause.
Hold a few Facebook Live presentations to promote your crowdfunding event. Ask your staff to present a segment on a new program. Add a fun segment on your upcoming dance-a-thon. Live video streaming of these presentations may be emailed and placed on your website homepage.
Promote your dance-a-thon fundraiser with dance videos. Create an infectious mood of dance fever on Facebook, Snap-chat, Twitter, Instagram and email promotions with video.
Imagine a dance-a-thon crowdfunding campaign that shows your passion through creativity. Just one successful crowdfunding event per year, when done right, can make the best crowdfunding ideas for nonprofits realized. Start with contributions from board members and donors. Then show the public something to be excited about as you launch your dance-a-thon crowdfunding website.
Dance-a-thon fundraisers rely on powerful peer-to-peer crowdfunding software tools, and social media networks and integrations. Utilizing crowdfunding software enables your message to be organically spread by your supporters. Your charity organization is able to manage the over-arching fundraising campaign and maintain brand consistency.

Why did Jesus refer to Himself as the Good Shepherd? What did He mean when He said He was “The Door”? On today’s episode, we explore the rich meaning of what Jesus meant, and ponder the beautiful role He plays in our lives.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door (gate)but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. (1)—Jesus uses the analogy of herding sheep to differentiate between the Pharisees and Himself. In the OT, shepherd and sheep was often used to portray the relationship between God and Israel (Ps. 23; 80:1; Isa. 40:10-11).
Jeremiah condemned the rulers (political and spiritual leaders) of Judah for being bad shepherds: “Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!’ declares the Lord” (Jer. 23:1).
The Pharisees were false shepherds. They excommunicated the man healed from blindness because he believed in Jesus (9:24-34).
But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper (doorkeeper/undershepherd) The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. (2-3)—Shepherds would place their flock in a sheep pin/sheepfold (walled enclosure) with other sheep in the fold overnight. A gatekeeper (or shepherd) would watch over the sheep from the entry point. In the morning, the shepherd would enter through the gate and call out (in their own unique voice) to his sheep by their given name to come to him (see Ps. 147:4; Isa. 20:26).
When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. (4-6)—Jesus’ meaning here is that there will be many false Messiahs, but He (the Good Shepherd—Ezek. 34:20-24) is the true Messiah.
So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves (cunning)and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out (active living)and find pasture (satisfaction). (7-9)—Jesus isn’t just the Good Shepherd, but He is also “The Door.” Shepherds would lay their body across the entry way, to protect their sheep from wolves and thieves; while offering safety and nourishment (see Ps. 23). The thieves and robbers are the Pharisees and other false teachers that lead the people astray from God.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. (10)—The contrast between false shepherds and good shepherds.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. (11-13)—Jesus gives the distinction between a shepherd and a hired hand. No doubt the people understood when Jesus referred Himself as the Good Shepherd. Ezekiel depicted this role as fulfilled by God (34:23). Jesus came with divine leadership to protect and offer life to His sheep.
I am the good shepherd. I know (intimate knowledge)my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. (14-16)—Jesus alludes to Gentiles in other folds; yet, there is one flock because there is only one true Shepherd. The Good Shepherd not only protects lives—but lays down His own life so that we can live.
The Substitutionary Atonement of Christ: Rom. 5:8, 10; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 2:24; 3:18).
The church gets to bathe in the beauty and splendor of the Godhead.
For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.” (17-18)—A beautiful description of intimacy within the Godhead and of self-sacrifice.
There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. (19)—Once again, the Jews argued and were divided over who Jesus was.
Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?” (20)—This is what the religious leaders wanted people to believe (see 7:20; 8:48, 52).
Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” (21)—Referring back to the healing of the blind man made some realize Jesus couldn’t be demonized if He delivered a man from darkness.

Each generation, a new-economy case comes along that tests antitrust law. It features a new technology that threatens monopoly power and harm to rivals or competition. And it prompts the question of whether antitrust is up to the task. In the 1970s, it was IBM. In the 1990s, it was Microsoft. In 2013, it is Google.
This piece provides an overview of five contributions to a symposium on Google’s relationship to antitrust. Pamela Samuelson discusses pricing and entry-barrier antitrust concerns presented by the Google Book Search settlement. Mark Patterson focuses on Google’s market power, emphasizing users’ inability to evaluate search results.
Frank Pasquale laments the FTC’s inaction on the case related to search and calls for access to Google’s algorithms. In contrast, Marina Lao highlights the subjectiveness of “search neutrality” and explains why it should not form the basis for antitrust liability. And Geoff Manne and William Rinehart criticize antitrust condemnation of Google that is based on expansive notions of foreclosure, narrowly construed markets, and insufficient appreciation of innovative product design.
Google presents an array of crucial, fast-moving antitrust issues that include barriers to entry, market power (in two-sided markets and with credence goods), neutral search, and innovation. Although the FTC decided not to challenge the search behavior in 2013, these issues will confront antitrust enforcers for years to come.

This enzyme is a member of the naphthalene family of bacterial Rieske non-heme iron dioxygenases. It comprises a multicomponent system, containing a Rieske [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin, an NADH-dependent flavoprotein reductase (EC 1.18.1.3, ferredoxin---NAD+ reductase), and an alpha3beta3 oxygenase. The enzyme forms of a cis-dihydroxylated product that spontaneously rearranges to form a catechol with accompanying release of nitrite. It can typically act on many different nitroaromatic compounds, including chlorinated species. Enzymes found in different strains may have different substrate preferences. Requires Fe2+.

A recent ruling at Croydon Crown Court has implications for all of us involved in numismatics. In short some dies, in this case those once used to mint certain Hong Kong coins, were being offered for sale through an internet auction site; it transpires that in fact this practice is actually illegal and a prosecution was brought by the Royal Mint against the vendor, in this case a well established and respected coin dealer but it could just have easily been a member of the public, an “ordinary collector”. Now the fact is that the vendor was indeed “in the wrong”, in as much that ignorance of the law is no defence, however if you ask 99% of dealers or collectors whether they knew that the owning of dies was illegal then I can guarantee that they would be as gobsmacked as I was when told of this. I, and most of the others in the trade I have spoken to were not aware that despite dies being regularly offered for sale in other parts of the world (particularly in the U.S) to own one used by the Royal Mint, either for British or Foreign coinage, is in fact illegal. The fact is it isn’t just dies that are illegal to own – the Forgery and Counterfeiting act of 1981 makes it perfectly clear that the possession of instruments that might be used for counterfeiting is illegal - so in effect that would include any dies, tools, plasters etc. indeed anything that could be used to make coins. Now it must be emphasised that in this case the vendor was not attempting to strike coins from these dies, they were in fact damaged and could not have been used, however that was not the issue, the very fact that they were owned at all was the problem – but that begs some very important questions, ones we must ask before someone else is caught out doing something that they had no idea was against the law. The purpose of my raising these questions now is not to pass judgement on either the Mint for bringing the prosecution nor the dealer for owning the dies in the first place but rather to ensure that this doesn’t happen again – none of us wish to break the law but as was seen recently the fact that we don’t know if something is illegal or not won’t help our case. The first question that needs to be addressed is one is one of common sense – were any of us to be offered a die for a decimal coin, a coin still in circulation today I suspect very few of us wouldn’t doubt the legality of the situation. However what if we were offered dies of coins from the time of Queen Victoria? Or of a pre-independence Commonwealth country or former colony? Would we then be so ready to reject them? Maybe not but it seems we should, any coinage die, at least those of the Royal Mint or it’s subsidiaries (and that includes any mints that sub-contracted from the Royal Mint – as had been the case with the dies in the recent court case) should not be in the hands of anyone who does not have the due authority to own it (in general this means in private hands, museums an such like usually being exempt). The second question relates to the restriking of coins in the first place – most coin collectors would, I suspect, balk at the idea of restriking any coins, seeing the results as little more than forgeries, even if sold as restrikes, however anyone with any knowledge of the Soho Mint of the mid 19th century will have heard of how medallist W. J. Taylor bought up dies for scrap value and proceeded to restrike certain coins from those dies, “coins” that are now quite eagerly sought after! There is it seems a place in some collections for such coinage, even if the majority of us would be horrified by such things! With this in mind should restrikes ever be sanctioned? Should there be a change in the law to allow such things? After all there is a precedent! I suspect the answer will be a resounding no but it’s worth asking. Of course this case had nothing to do with the actual coins themselves simply ownership of coining materials – which brings me to the third question, that of dies that are seen as antiquities rather than anything else – what of dies, should any of us be lucky enough to come across them, of the middle ages, of medieval times? Do they fall under this same banner of illegality? It seems that yes they do. Initially it was thought that only dies of coins post the re-coinage of 1816 would come under this ruling but it appears that any die, of any era is affected. Of course in practice the older the die the less likelihood of any action being taken but the fact remains that any collector in possession of any die that has been used to strike a British coin, or a coin struck on behalf of another nation by the Royal Mint, is breaking the law – and that’s something we should all be aware of. Personally I feel that the law is there for a reason and whilst it is a great shame that these pieces of numismatic history can never legitimately find their way into collections I do understand the theory behind it – after all they may be in a collection of a passionate numismatist today but tomorrow they could well fall into less scrupulous hands. The law is the law and must be upheld – what a shame though that that same law that prevents bona fide pieces of numismatica being privately owned can do nothing about the plethora of “replicas” that abound at the moment. Sadly it seems it is fine to make your own dies and strike coins that can and do deceive but to own original dies with no intention of striking coins is not tolerated. It’s a mixed up world sometimes!

American singer, Normani (formerly a member of Fifth Harmony) continues her solo career with a pair of new singles alongside producer Calvin Harris. One of the joints – Checklist– features our very own Wizkid.
It’s Normani’s 2nd collaboration with a Nigerian heavyweight act this month; the first being her co-appearance on Migos rapper Quavo’s “Swing” featuring Davido, off the recently-released Quavo Huncho album.
Great to see Afrobeats flagbearers like Wizkid and Davido getting featured on international collaborations. It’s a welcome change.

Will Burns is back with his picks for the Eredivisie in today’s games and like all his tips, you will not see a ‘best bet’ under evens – good luck!
Second play fourth as Vitesse visit FC Twente in the game of the week early Saturday evening.
With stars like Dušan Tadić, Quincy Promes and Luc Castaignos on one side and Lucas Piazón, Christian Atsu and Davy Pröpper on the other – both sides have quality to take the three points and I see this one being a close affair.
This is a game that could either way so for our best bet we opt for Under 2.5 Goals. In their last four games, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in Vitesse’s matches. Past history also shows that Twente have seen under 2.5 goals in five of their last six matches in all competitions against Vitesse.
BURNS’ BEST BET: Under 2.5 Goals (6/4 – Betfair) – Click here to bet on this market.
RKC face NEC in a vital relegation six-pointer and for teams down at the wrong end of the league, they have not had a bad run as of late. RKC only losing one game in their last six, with NEC losing two.
NEC’s real problem is their away form, the Nijmegen side have failed to find a win in the last 16 attempts. RKC are set to win their third successive game at the Mandemakers Stadion and stretch their home unbeaten run to eight games.
BURNS’ BEST BET: RKC to win (13/10 – BetVictor) – Click here to bet on this market.
In another relegation battle, Henk Fräser’s ADO travel to face Jon Dahl Tomasson’s Roda JC. The problem with both of these sides has been finding goals.
Away from home, ADO have failed to find the net in five of their last seven away trips and Roda have only score three times in their last five Eredivisie games.
ADO will struggle to replace the suspended Tom Beugelsdijk who has been the diamond in the rough at Den Haag these season. Will the weakened defence be able to control Guus Hupperts for Roda – I predict that they won’t but Roda to win with by scoring just one or two goals.
BURNS’ BEST BET: Under 2.5 Goals (13/10 – BetVictor) – Click here to bet on this market.
The under-pressure Jan Wouters is in desperate need of stopping an horrific run of no wins in seven including six defeats.
Will they stop this rot today? I predict no and that things are going to get worse for Utrecht fans. A trip to AZ is no easy task, and with up to eight first teamers injured for Wouters, I cannot see any side he picks this evening getting a result.
Best bet would be to take AZ to win at half-time and full-time and I can see Alkmaar dominating throughout.

History! Industry! Art! Buttons! Phew… I’m MattaTuckered Out.
The Mattatuck is a Conneticut Art Trail site.
I’ve procrastinated writing about the Mattatuck for all the right reasons: It’s huge, it’s excellent and it’s more or less four museums in one. There is just simply too much to write about – and the folks that work there are just too nice for me to not do at least a good job on this page. And to think, all this is in Waterbury.
I say that because Waterbury is one of our cities that gets the worst rap. Right up there with Bridgeport and Hartford. But I’d wager that most people know about the Beardsley Zoo and Barnum Museum in Bridgeport and the various cultural touchpoints in Hartford I hope. But Waterbury has always been just sort of “blah” from my experience. After all, the city is known locally as The Dirty Water.
And that’s just part of the first floor! There is also the small Community Gallery and some art displays. Once up to the second floor, you’ll find an excellent Connecticut-centric art gallery in which the Mattatuck displays works from its collection of over 2000 paintings. I love the fact that almost every artist shown lived in Connecticut at some point. You’ll be amazed at some of the Hudson River School stuff and even the 20th Century Gallery which (of course) features local boy Alexander Calder, but some others you may not be so familiar with.
And lastly, the third floor of the building contains another museum! I know, that’s the coolest thing ever, right? Indeed; the Waterbury Button Museum occupies a small room up on the third floor of the Mattatuck. Here’s my visit to it. I should also note that my photo shoot for a Connecticut Magazine feature took place up there as well, as you can see in the strikingly handsome picture here. But let’s start from the ground up.
I went on a summer Sunday and I think they ran a program then wherein visits were free on summer Sundays. Or at least half-off admission, I forget. Whatever it was, it was a good deal. In fact, paying full price for the Mattatuck is still a good deal.
I started off in the Community Gallery. It appears the museum changes up the exhibits in here about 3 times per year and some appeal to me whereas some simply don’t. Not being elderly and not being from Waterbury, the exhibit during my visit didn’t quite do it for me: Saint Mary’s Hospital, 100 Years of Caring.
In 1909, St. Mary’s Hospital admitted their first patients by horse-drawn ambulance, fulfilling the vision of establishing a hospital within the industrial core of Waterbury. Since that time the hospital has played a vital role in providing medical care to residents. The story of charity and care was told through old medical equipment, historic photographs and archives.
I think it’s cool that towns pay homage to their hospitals. After all, what’s more vital to a town’s health than its hospitals. And as I poked around the exhibit, I saw some fairly interesting things. (I should note that the Mattatuck is great with the literature. I have about 6 brochures from my visit, each one targeted to a specific section of the museum. On top of that, they have an excellent and professionally done website as well, which is very helpful.) The whole history of the Catholic hospital was laid out. The only truly interesting part (to me) was that one Monsignor Slocum shelled out ten grand of his own money to get the thing going. Slocum, who wanted this place full of cutting edge medical equipment and care, was pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Waterbury.
Hm. I wonder if any of the good doctors could explain immaculate conception to me. Anyway, disregarding that, the exhibit had some great historic photos on display. It’s simply astounding how far medical advancements have come in 100 years – and exciting to think of where they’ll be in 100 more. Pictures of iron lungs and this one here, to the left of a “blood cupping set” are a bit disconcerting. “Cupping” is an old idea that supposedly brings “fresh blood” to an area of the body – for what reason I have no idea. It should come as no surprise that various idiots still “cup” today because… people did it in Asia a long time ago? I don’t know. Ask Gwyneth Paltrow.
On the way to the main first floor exhibit, I passed a little courtyard with some sculptures but the doors were locked. Besides, it was raining and gross out anyway. And why would I want to go outside when I this inside?
As I’ve mentioned, the first floor of the museum is dedicated to Waterbury’s and the surrounding area’s history. As with all town history museums, this starts with the native Americans who lived in the area to the Colonialists to the Industrial Revolution and the Civil War and other defining moments in any town’s history. But the Mattatuck does this in a unique and very interesting way.
They’ve incorporated a bunch of bells and whistles and cutting edge technology. But – and this is a big but – they don’t overdo it and it never takes away from what they are trying to show you from Waterbury’s history. This is a very hard line to tow and not cross. It’s obvious the museum got a massive grant at some point and spent a lot of money on this stuff. I’ve seen it go all wrong too and when it does, it’s incredibly aggravating.
Technology is great; I love it. But when I want to learn about how Waterbury became the leading brass manufacturing town in America, I don’t need holograms telling me to zap touchscreen kiosks with laser guns to do so. Well done, Mattatuck.
Waterbury began pretty much like all New England towns began. A small band of families ventured out from an existing settlement (in Waterbury’s case, it was Farmington) and set up shop near a water source (in Waterbury’s case, it was the Naugatuck and Mill Rivers). They built their modest homes around a central green and of course the church.
After the town was settled they had to do something to get on with life. The theme of what I gleaned from the last 18th century was that of medical issues in town. One, the museum displayed the ol’ Pest House door from back when they quarantined those with Smallpox out in the woods in a “comfortable” jail-like setting in order to die alone and cold.
To put this story in context, display explains that the late 1700’s was a time of massive change in the world of medicine. We were just getting over the traditions against studying anatomy and moving towards a more scientific approach to human physiology and care. Dr. Porter was on the cutting edge of this revolution.
It was illegal to practice dissection in the United States before 1834, and remained illegal in most states until the 1870s, although Massachusetts permitted the dissection of an executed criminal for medical study once every four years. Therefore, obtaining cadavers for medical study was difficult. Grave robbing by medical students led to riots in New York in the 1780s and in New Haven in 1824; Connecticut officially prohibited grave robbing for medical dissection in 1810. Throughout the nineteenth century, cadavers for medical studies were taken disproportionately from the less powerful members of society: slaves, servants, the indigent and the imprisoned.
Dr. Porter passed the skeleton down to his son who kept it in good condition and it ultimately was given to the museum in the early 20th century. In 2003, the museum used the bones to reconstruct what Fortune looked like and created the permanent exhibit about him, which I found really very fascinating.
From there, the Mattatuck delves into Waterbury’s hugely important industrial past (and to a much smaller extent, present.) Waterbury is known as the Brass City in these parts and for good reason. The Naugatuck Valley, and specifically Waterbury, was THE Brass manufacturing capital of not just early America, but the world for a while. This didn’t happen overnight, as it took some of Waterbury’s finest politicians and businessmen to convince congress in 1830 to levy a hefty 35% tariff on British brass imports.
This allowed the Valley to get going and ultimately to thrive, inviting some of England’s finest brass workers over here as well. One guy, Israel Holmes, would go over to England, steal trade secrets AND (willing) men AND equipment and risk arrest (all this was quite illegal at the time) in order to build Waterbury’s industry. As we now know, it worked beautifully. Holmes went on to great success with his own brass and clock company in Bristol.
By 1840, Waterbury and the surrounding valley had become America’s brass center. It only grew from there as local inventors came up with more and more uses for brass products. Waterbury grew to be a city of over 100,000 residents, most tied in some way to the brass industry.
By the 1920’s, the industry was massive. So massive, that absurdly massive global copper mining corporations bought into the local companies. And as all of you who watched Ken Burns’ World War II documentary know, Waterbury supplied brass shell casings and converted many assembly lines and factories to the war effort.
But as with most northeastern cities built upon single industries, Waterbury’s affluent and productive past has shriveled up to a large degree. The brass folks hung on for a while and converted machines that made shell casings to make things like lipstick containers, but cheaper product from foreign competition doomed the town’s brassworks. To the Mattatuck’s credit, they explore how the world changed and the brass mills went out of business. There is also some exploration of how that adversely affected Waterbury which, while sad, was still refreshing to see acknowledged in a way.
But let’s back up a bit. Why was there a need to invent fake rubber in, of all places, Naugatuck, Connecticut? Aha! Now you’re hooked. Because I know you’ve heard of Charles Goodyear. Yes, that Goodyear. Well, he was from New Haven. After a stint in Philadelphia, he moved back to Connecticut to… you got it, Naugatuck. But then he moved away again and ultimately invented vulcanization, and really didn’t have much more to do with the area.
That’s Goodyear’s bust by the way. As you can imagine, with the industry centered in the valley and Goodyear’s nutmeg ties, rubber production skyrocketed in the 19th century.
Of course, with all this brass and rubber and ceramic (I didn’t talk about that, but it was big here too) production, the Naugatuck River became an environmental nightmare. Again, the museum doesn’t shy away from that ugly past either. They also explore the life and injuries of a typical factory worker in the late 19th century. That was fun.
I’m pretty sure all this town and industry history stuff is permanently displayed. For a larger town like Waterbury, with as rich and important an industrial past, it takes a really good museum to tell the full story without getting bogged down in details. Hats off again to the Mattatuck.
Moving on, there is a whole other section on this first floor with an exhibit that carries the history of Waterbury through the present day. This is certainly unique for a town history museum, but I really liked it. Remember back in school how you’d learn our colonial history and then the Civil War and then the massive growth of the country and then WWI and maybe touch on WWII but then nothing after that, as if The 1950’s onward had no impact? I always hated that.
The Mattatuck doesn’t have this problem. They take Waterbury right up through the urban upheaval of the 60’s and 70’s where Waterbury apparently suffered mightily. The exhibit continues through the suburbanization of the 80’s and housing boom of the 00’s. There was a super modern super cool touch table computer thing where I acted like mayor and town planner moving buildings and budgets all around. There was an “election machine” type electronic map thing showing how the local political landscape affects the surrounding towns.
Perhaps this is some cheeky way to excuse the despair Waterbury is going through? They even have explanations of the town’s string of infamously corrupt politicians, though I don’t recall seeing Waterbury’s own former Governor John Rowland who spent some time in jail for his misdeeds while in office.
I have to mention the display featuring some of Waterbury’s “famous sons and daughters.” I hadn’t heard of a single one of the featured people – from Chief Two Moon, an “Indian” snake oil salesman who was apparently famous in the early 20th century to Candy LaChance who played for Boston in the 1903 World Series to Joan Joyce, a member of the US Softball Hall of Fame.
Sharp readers will remember that Joan Joyce piqued my curiosity at the Fairfield County Sports Hall of Fame. (CTMQ Visit here) where she is an inductee. But Waterbury’s not in Fairfield County. I guess she moved – but she is an amazing, amazing woman. But where was Bob Crane of Hogan’s Heroes fame?! He is enshrined in the Waterbury Hall of Fame (along with the aforementioned John Rowland). I saw it with my own eyes at the Howland-Hughes building, a place you really should visit when in town for it also houses the Connecticut Store (CTMQ Visit here).
But backing up a moment… There’s sort of a joke in Connecticut that Waterbury has a long tradition of corruption. I’ve noted a few already but I just looked up ol’ Chief Two Moon. Turns out, he fit right into Waterbury: He wasn’t an Indian (despite insisting he was) and get this, on May 3, 1932, Meridas was indicted and later convicted of practicing medicine without a license in New York and Connecticut. This was after he went to Rome and hung out with the Pope. So what did the fake Chief do? He brought 26 Sioux to Waterbury to speak for his defense, some of whom stated that they had taken part of the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
Okay. Whatever. Then they later celebrated at Meridas’ Connecticut estate. I love Waterbury.
Okay, I think we’re done with Waterbury’s history. Let’s go upstairs to see what makes the Mattatuck heads and tails better than other town history museums: The entire second floor is one of the top 10 or art collections in the state. Granted, they maybe just squeak into that top 10, but still, it’s impressive. And in fact, since a huge percentage of their collection is by Connecticut artists, this may be my favorite collection in the state after all.
If I remember correctly (it’s been a while), there are three sections of the art floor. One is The Harris Whittemore Gallery and showcases three different exhibitions each year. While I was there, two contemporary artists were featured.
They were the harmonious and measured kinetic sculptures of Tim Prentice set beside the vividly colored and exuberant paintings of Danielle Mailer. Their works demonstrated contrasting approaches to art-making—minimalism and expressive naturalism. Guess which one I totally dug and which one I pretty much ignored?
Tim Prentice’s stuff is cool. In fact, he has a very large sculpture permanently installed in the Connecticut Science Center’s atrium. Smaller kinetic sculptures were featured during my visit. The very detailed brochure I picked up during my visit tells me that Prentice was trained as an architect. Makes sense. He sculptures require the subtlest of air current; from ventilation systems or merely people walking by. Failing that, the Mattatuck had a small fan oscillating nearby.
Mailer’s work was just brightly colored and patterned stuff. Not for me.
Moving on to the largest gallery, the real meat of the art floor, I was amazed at the diversity of the collection of Connecticut artists. The gallery is very large and not nearly as austere as most art galleries. It’s homey and comforting. It also helped that I was (sadly, actually) all along on the whole second floor.
This creepy guy is Lemuel Hopkins, a doctor from Naugatuck who had a penchant for limericks. Of course he did.
by J. Alden Weir, one of America’s top impressionists. His house/studio/land is now a museum out in western Connecticut.
Each painting here had a nice explanation of its painter and his or her connection to Connecticut. There was a nice brief overview of the Hudson River School of painters and a story on local impressionists, like J. Alden Weir. I can’t recommend this place enough.
And the cherry on top is the 20th Century Gallery. Of course there is a whole side devoted to local artist legend Alexander Calder (lived in Roxbury), but the Mattatuck doesn’t stop there. I should take a moment to discuss Calder – especially since he doesn’t have a museum devoted to him in Roxbury.
But like I said, there are other local artists from more recent times worth noting. If you read all this – congrats, I’ll buy you a CASE of beer – you could tell I sort of rushed it here at the end. But I never write too much about art, as I’m simply not qualified. I AM qualified though to tell you how great the Mattatuck’s collection is – and how they present it. The three separate rooms and really give it the air of a more well-known art museum. The attention given to 20th century artists is refreshing.
As you can tell, I loved the Mattatuck. Both floors and every different theme and style they’ve employed throughout. I didn’t even mention the kid-friendly activities throughout the joint or the amazing Waterbury Architecture tours offered from the museum. So please, never ever tell me Waterbury is the worst. They have this place and that alone makes it a very, very worthy city.
Thanks so much for this page. I grew up in Waterbury, (was born at St. Mary’s), and despite its reputation and decline in the last few decades, still have a fondness for it. I’ve lived in the Phoenix area for about 10 years now, but hope to move back to Connecticut one day. Whenever I’m feeling nostalgic I’ll pull up your site and read a few entries. I enjoyed this one a lot.

There was a time that my life was an absolute mess as a result of addiction!
#1 – Health Breakdown: I was 50 pounds overweight and dealing with a severe medical problem, all caused by an underlying addiction to drugs and alcohol.
#2 – Career Breakdown: My business went into a state of bankruptcy.
#3 – Relationship Breakdown: My marriage broke down and I went through a divorce.
But I am grateful for my most significant challenges in life.
Sometimes you need a breakdown so you can have a breakthrough.
Sometimes when you think you have health, career or relationship problem – you just have a Power Problem.
I found the solution to these issues in what I now call the 5-Facet Lifestyle Formula.
Not only where these lessons life-changers for me, but they also helped me coach and train hundreds of clients to re-create their lifestyles and find higher levels of success and happiness in their lives.
They also inspired me to write my new book, the #1 bestseller, All Inclusive Diet.
I share my story of the struggle for anyone else who is struggling or feels stuck. It’s a story about how I needed to fall to rise and how success indeed is measured by the comeback. I am now happily creating my legacy as a proud father, partner, coach, and author.
For this episode; I’m going to share an excerpt from my book the All Inclusive Diet.
Thank-you for those that have read and rated this book on Amazon and helped it hit the #1 bestseller on Amazon.
While supplies last you can get it for free. I bought the book for you all you have to do is pay $4.97 for shipping and handling, and I will have it delivered to you within 7-10 days.
Go to www.krisjsimpson.com/books to pick up your free copy.
So let’s get started, an excerpt from the All Inclusive Diet – hope you love it – if you do, please like, comment and share it.
I thank-you, I’m cheering for you, change is possible, keep your head out of the sand, dream, believe and inspire to aspire.
We all have wake-up calls that lead us to important life changes and transformations. If you have had any major changes in the way you live, you can probably think back to one moment when you had an epiphany whereby something happened that changed your life forever.
Some of us might have had to descend to a personal bottom before we could make the needed changes in our way of living and some of us had to hit a wall before we woke up.
My wake-up call was when I hit a wall and fell to the bottom of my front porch. It was the morning after three days of self-debauchery, which included ample amounts of what was then the substance of my former life, drugs, and alcohol.
Apparently, I had agreed to check myself into a detox center for drug and alcohol abuse. I was busily preparing myself for detox by intoxicating myself to yet another level. I regained consciousness on my front porch, and I was covered in blood. Although I was dazed and confused, I could see that I had tripped and went head first into the brick wall of my house and fallen to the bottom of the stairs.
This was what my final appearance looked like living my old life. It was the end of a 10-year progressive and painful slide into oblivion, which was written, directed and all acted out by me. The plot was a little confusing because it appeared that the main character had it all yet he was suffering.
He had so many things going for him; married with a five-year-old son and a one-year-old daughter, a successful business owner, recently moved into the posh area of town where all the big shots lived. Life on the surface didn’t seem to be that bad at all.
Then why was he constantly hitting the self-destruct button?
This was the first time I honestly asked why and wanted to know what the answer was, no matter how painful the truth. It was the most important day of my life when I decided the show was over. There would be no more encores.
When the curtain rose again, I was locked in a detox center that I was desperately trying to escape from. I was surrounded by people who made me feel uncomfortable, but there wasn’t any difference between them and me. Yes, I might have had more money and more things than most of them, but we were all under lock and key for our personal safety. We couldn’t be trusted to take care of ourselves.
The week that I spent in detox was the most humiliating yet most humbling week of my life. I was at the point where my knees had hit the floor, and the only way I was going to get back on my feet again was to ask for and accept a hand.
The detox center set the stage for a one-month drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. I was open and receptive to just about any help at this point.
If I ever doubted that there wasn’t a solution for the problem of addiction, all I needed to do was look around while I was in rehab and hear the stories of people who had lost it all, had risen again and had become completely transformed. Their stories inspired me and reminded me that I wasn’t alone.
For a decade I had used and abused substances to create what I justified as a balance in my life. I was living life in the fast lane, across lanes, and off course completely at times.
A decade of living a life of addiction and a trail of disaster behind me, it was difficult to hide because it showed up in all areas of my life: in my relationships, my career, and it would show up later in my finances. It was also impacting my health as I was slowly deteriorating. My liver was showing the first signs of cirrhosis, and my insides were an awful mess.
What I also couldn’t hide from was the fact I was 50 pounds overweight.
Fortunately, being an ex-bodybuilder I was able to justify my increase in size as muscle, but I knew otherwise. I also was able to wear athletic clothes that allowed me to hide my weight as well, but the real problem was that I wasn’t real at all.
In rehab, I went through a lot of self-discovery, and I began to realize that my life was completely out of balance. I was abusing substances as a form of escape. I felt as if I needed to escape the life that I had created and which I now felt I was trapped in.
This intense state of suffering is what I call my personal bottom. I needed to go to the bottom and become completely defeated for me to hang out the white flag. My stubbornness to let go of whom I thought I was, who I thought I had to be, and what I thought I had to do showed up everywhere in my former life.
I was suffering because I felt powerless. My addiction to drugs and alcohol had taken over my life. I wasn’t in control anymore. I felt like a slave, and it ate away at my soul as I lost all self-dignity and self-respect.
In rehab and more importantly in the after-care program that ensued, I got my life back to a state of equilibrium. In fact, I recreated my life to one that now serves the people I coach and me.
I share my story of struggle for anyone else who is struggling with a weight problem. It’s a story about how I needed to fall to rise and live out my life legacy of inspiring others to keep the weight off and find freedom.
Although this was very difficult for me to disclose initially, my story has become the first conversation with all of my health participants from the Freedom 13 Weight-loss & Wellness program, as there is a definite connection with my story and my clients’ stories of struggling to keep the weight off. Through the lessons of my struggle, I can now help my clients overcome their problem of keeping the weight off.
During my recovery, I finally understood that to avoid reverting to drinking and drugging; I needed balance in my life. It wasn’t so much a need as it was something that I couldn’t live without. It was mandatory and non-negotiable. If I got out of balance, I knew what would happen. I would go back to drinking and drugging. It was inevitable.
I now can see the same thing happening to my clients who also have periods where their life is imbalanced, and they too are at risk of relapsing into the patterns and habits that cause them to gain weight.
I relapsed three times in the first six months out of rehab. I noticed the same pattern would occur during these episodes. Either a crisis would appear in my life that I was having difficulty managing or other things in my life would get out of whack such as working countless hours and not getting enough time to sleep and relax.
In the past when these types of things would happen in my life, I would get out of balance and turn to substances. I later learned that substances were my escape from the sense of suffering that being out of balance provoked.
My emotional imbalance had me feeling like I was on a roller coaster most days. Extreme highs followed by the bottomless lows. My exercise regimen had on and off cycles. I had no hobbies or interests to help me unwind after a long day of work. I always remember my mother asking me when I was going to find a hobby or pick up a book or start writing again. I took no time for myself, as I was dedicated to growing my business. When I did manage to find a spare moment, I was using substances to create a sense of false balance in my life. My sleep cycles were upside down because many times I didn’t even know what time of day it was. This is how I now define the epitome of an imbalanced lifestyle, which was my former way of living. Although most of my clients’ lifestyles are not so severely backward, they still need help with aligning their 5-Facets.
My recovery program consisted of putting my entire life back in balance one facet at a time. Little did I know that this would become the building blocks for the Freedom 13 Weight-loss & Wellness program.
When I started to restructure my life, I had an additional 50 pounds on my frame that I was self-conscious about. I needed to do everything in my power to bolster my self-esteem. Hence, I decided it was time to shed the baggage from my past. That baggage had to be left behind for me to move forward.
I had to look at food in a different light. I needed to take a balanced and all-inclusive approach to eating. I couldn’t risk being radical, rigid and restrictive with my diet. My goal was to balance my food intake with what my body needed versus what I thought my body wanted.
Emotionally, I needed to remain balanced. I couldn’t harbor grudges and hold resentments any longer. In rehab, I was taught that resentments are the number one offender when it comes to contravening sobriety. My days of arguing and complaining had to be put behind me as I needed to focus on becoming aware and managing my emotions to abstain from substances.
I had to get active again. My spirits and energy had to be sustained at the highest caliber to achieve happiness and create a new way of living. I needed to look at activity in a new and all-inclusive way. Weight training and traditional exercise were only one part of the equation, and I needed to diversify my activity so I would be more motivated to consistently engage in it.
I also needed to schedule time for relaxation. I needed to find a life outside work and find opportunities to relax, rest and recover. I never gave myself permission in the past to leave work early, but eventually, I learned how to do this without feeling tremendously guilty. I didn’t find my hobbies and things to do for fun right away, but I did begin to spend more time with my children and with those I met in recovery. This allowed me to relax and reset.
Sleeping was also something that I had to take very seriously. I found that when I didn’t get enough sleep, I was emotionally off balance. I felt more agitated and nervous and unable to deal with people in a calm manner. I also found that my eating got off track when I didn’t get enough sleep.
Something I was taught in rehab was a concept known as H.A.L.T., which stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely and Tired. If we let ourselves get hungry, angry, lonely and tired, we run the risk of being out of balance. Hence, the term H.A.L.T. should encourage one to stop immediately and take a different direction or approach whenever these symptoms are experienced.
In the next chapter, I will introduce you to the 5-Facets so you can learn how to manage and balance them yourself.

Victrola is the duo of Antonio ''Eze'' Cuscinà and Carlo Smeriglio from Messina, Italy. The band formed in 1979 but shortly thereafter relocated to Florence take part in a rich musical scene alongside Neon, Pankow, Alexander Robotnick, and Diaframma. Beginning as a 4-piece (two guitarists, bassist, drummer) they slimmed down to a synthesizer and guitar-based duo by 1982. Their sole release was the now classic ”Maritime Tatami''/''A Game Of Despair'' EP from 1983, which we reissued in 2012. ‘Born From The Water’ is a 12 song collection of unreleased demos recorded between 1983 and 1985. The band sent us over 100 cassettes, through which we dug to compile the first volume of their archival darkwave ballads. They used an array of Roland synthesizers (TR-606, TB-303, TR-909, Juno 6) plus a Korg Polysix, Yamaha DX7, Casio VL-Tone VL-1, DR-55 Dr. Rhythm, and Fender Stratocaster and Jazz Bass. Some of the songs would later appear on various compilations, but the versions presented here are unique. Victrola engulfs the listener with trance-inducing synth lines, oblique minor-key bass lines, angular guitar riffs, and melancholic vocals. The songs tell tales of youth, love, karma, and the decline of civilization in modern times. Each song has been carefully remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The records come housed in a jacket designed by Eloise Leigh, which uses motifs from the band’s sole release and includes an insert with liner notes and photos.

Did you check the oil level and coolant level?
Hi Yes we had just changed the oil the day we drove to Arkansas.and the coolant is good.
Did you actually look at the oil level now or are you assuming it's good because it was changed?
You need to check that and try to turn the engine manually using a socket ad bar on the crankshaft bolt because it sure sounds like the motor seized up.
Your test results just don't add up.
You haven't determined what the burnt smell was. Something was either seizing up or burning up. You probably need a professional to inspect it to get you pointed in the right direction here.

Acne is not right a pubescent breakdown. Adults are fully persuasible to the fleece fact as well, and big skin disorder is more customary than you may have been led to deem. The factors that involve yourself to developed disease of the skin can swing. Workplace and individualised stress, allergies, heredity, explosive hormonal changes; all are allegeable triggers. There is one thing, however, that you can compute on: nearby is a make well that will career for you.
I intuitively suffered from fully grown acne for eld. I had skin problem all through my case as a stripling as well, of course, but when I upside-down 18, then 19, after 20, and even beyond, my skin disease only lodged with me. It didn't make plain any signs of becoming extinct or even improving in the slightest near age. I was as blemished and red-faced at 22 as I was when the freshman zits started collapse out on my external body part when I was 14.
I'd been through with all attitude of medications and skin disease treatments when I was a adolescent. My parents fagged indecent amounts of money on dermatologist appointments and the later on recommended prescription medications in hopes of uncovering me a cure, piece of ground up my acne, and deed my self-esteem vertebrae to wherever it should have been. I even worn-out six packed months on Accutane, submitting myself to weak humour tests and immortal all of the mordant line-up personal effects that came with mistreatment the drug.
It was all beautiful much ineffectual. None of the medications I used, topical or oral, prescription or over-the-counter, did untold to aid my disease of the skin. At best, I saw a unimportant diminution in glow and redness in the opening stages, but in two shakes of a lamb's tail enough, my skin disease would come up prosperous put a bet on worse than ever. It was same the medications I used irate my skin disease into protrusive mature assaults on my crust. Even when I was on Accutane, the alleged "super-drug" and noncontroversial "acne-killer", my connective tissue merely showed secondary upturn at the best of contemporary world.
Fast-forward to a few months ago. My inflammatory disease was yet proving to be a menace, and I was as desperate for a solution as of all time. The state was truly wreaking havoc on my individual and career life, and I'm sure that everybody who suffers from mature skin disease can connect. I established to transport a accidental on a comparatively new non-prescription disease of the skin drug. I'll make a clean breast that I was for the most part reeled in by the vow of a 6-month unqualified money-back endorse. There was no hazard to me, so I patterned within was no injure in difficult.
After a few weeks, my skin disease was tract up. The glow was away and the pelt on my human face was some smaller quantity protective. But I didn't truly permit myself to get stirred up until later; after all, other than medications had webby me the same results, lone to founder in the longitudinal run. This time, however, my acne kept clearing up. There was no relapse, no incorrect hope, righteous results. And now I've been disease of the skin on the loose for a heavy time period. It's the eldest case my body covering has been prima facie since I was a kid!
Adult skin disorder is difficult and painful; I cognize that firsthand. But nearby is a solution. Take lead of it. Clear skin tone and self-esteem is thing you can't put a damage on.

The Library of Fragrance is a brand with an entirely new concept that I have recently been introduced to. With 101 different fragrances available online it can literally blow your mind where to start. Luckily, they have launched with just 28 of the shades nationwide here in the UK at Boots stores and on Boots.com.
I really do love perfume, and the thought of being able to create my very own signature perfume, with two or three different selections from this Library of Fragrance is an idea that I simply love. The huge number of fragrances to choose from is not the only element of the brand that is unusual. It is also pretty quirky because each fragrance in the collection has been designed to smell exactly like an object or an experience from life.
I chose Thunderstorm*, because I love the smell of when it rains outside, earthy scents really appeal to me and even though I am the first person to reach for a thunder buddy when a storm hits, I was intrigued to smell this one. It is crazy how they have really captured this smell and bottled it. Thunderstorm, reminds me of just being outside in general, walking through the countryside in the rain wearing wellington boots.
Four Leaf Clover* may seem like another peculiar choice, but as well as earthy scents, I just love the smell of freshly cut grass. When layered over the top of Thunderstorm I feel really nostalgic to when I used to lie in the school fields in Summer playing with daisy chains and trying to spot four leaf clovers. You may be thinking, yeah I like those scents too, but for perfume Zoe? I wouldn’t wear this perfume of an evening or to impress a date, as they may be like why on earth do you smell like you have been rolling around in grass? I just love the idea of being able to spritz these perfumes on and being whisked back to old memories, the perfect way to perk you up.
Moonbeam* is my favourite of the three, and I love wearing this on it’s own. Why did I choose this scent? Well do YOU know what a moonbeam smells like? I cannot describe how this smells other than it is very sweet and light, a little bit chocolatey! I throw this one in my hand bag and have been wearing this none stop. Layered over Four Leaf Clover it becomes a really magical fragrance. That sense of creating your very own scent is just awesome.
Create your own bespoke scent without a hefty price tag is possible, with each one being £15 for a 30ml bottle or take advantage of the 2 for £25 offer at Boots.

I always enjoy when women do the unexpected, especially in art. Today’s feature is about female photographer Alana Paterson, and her brand of skate photography. I admire this girl’s passion for the sport, and her unique take on photographing skaters in a somewhat documentary style.
Another thing I love about her work is that she is one of those who still use film! That’s probably the reason her photos seem incredibly warm and organic. In an interview, she said using film forces her to choose specific moments as opposed to just shooting all the time and just editing after.

Lifestyle is a premier loft conversion company in London. We offer a complete house extension service from planning, design and build through to the final finishing touches. We will give you the extra space you require in your house be it an office, bedroom or playroom, while adding value to your house. Lifestyle will take care of your planning permission and building regulation from planning to the final decorations. All work is fully complied with the national regulatory standards.
Measure the height of the roof space as you'll need around 2.3 metres (7ft 6in) to allow for enough headroom. A steeper roof will allow for more headroom, but if there is not enough headroom in the existing space, raising the roof or ceiling is a popular option, but also subject to planning consent. Lifestyle Design + Build will be able to advice you on this.
Do I need a specialist company or architect?
You can achieve the best results by using an architect or structural engineer to draw up the plans and use a reputable building company to process the project. Make sure your building company is registered with a professional association such as the federation of master builders which requires strict standards of quality and best practices. Specialist companies will have the skills and experience necessary to plan the best use of the limited space available, taking into account key structural features and accommodating the best practices.
Enough headroom- You'll need approximately 2.3 metres at the highest point.
Bathroom? If so will your plumbing system cope with the extra pressure requirements for piping water up an additional level?
Central heating system- will it cope with the additional radiators?
Planning permission? It's always best to check with your local authorities to the complex criteria. Some properties don't require planning permission Permitted Development Rights legislation 2008. If required, it needs to be submitted for approval by local authorities or online through the government planning portal.
If you are in a terraced or semi-detached property you may need to give notice to your neighbours of your proposed changes under the Party Wall Act (1996). Lifestyle will be able to advise on whether this is necessary.
Access to new space- is there enough room for placing a staircase?
Will the soundproofing, insulation and ventilation be sufficient?
Expert advice: We believe in providing a complete, stress-free and reliable service, providing free advice and quotations. A house extension can add 20-30% value to your home, whether it's a kitchen diner, garden room or full two-storey build.
Lifestyle offers a 12 month Guarantee on all our work. Unlike most other Guarantee/Warranty schemes we don't charge any extra money for this service and we fix any problems within a very short time.

Yes, you got it right: we’re back in Italy. Almost three weeks ago we said goodbye Jerusalem and hi Italy.
We didn’t write anything before, mainly because we needed time. Time to get used again to the Italian life, time to post all the things we wanted to share with you about our travel, time to recover. The truth is we had planned to stay until the 9th of August in Jerusalem, and we already had a flight ticket for that day. But we decided to leave exactly one month earlier.
It was a hard decision: I was in the middle of a university course that I would have liked to conclude, we had just paid the last month rent and the flight ticket was not refundable. But on the 8th of July, at 11 pm we decided it was time to leave the country, and in 24 hours we landed in Milan.
The situation had become very tough in the last month: Jerusalem was the field of many violent demonstrations. People were very nervous and you could feel the tension in the air. Israelis and Palestinians keep living and try to maintain an ordinary life in such situations, and we did the same as much as possible. But for us each day was more stressful than the preceding one and we realized that the money, the course, the city were far less important than our mental, spiritual and physical sanity.
These first weeks have passed by quickly and we are still in a sort of limbo. We watch the news and every image of destroyed lives in Gaza is like a stab in the stomach. We hear an alarm, a helicopter or an airplane and we still look at each other and feel the fear of hearing the rocket alarm and having to run to a shelter.
– If you want to do, see, taste, try something, do it immediately and don’t leave it for another moment: we wanted to go to an Ethiopian restaurant we had tried many years ago, but we postponed our dinner too much and we wanted to visit Nablus but never found the right time.
– See problems in perspective: we have learnt that not everything is awful and difficult and luckily a good amount of the things one worries about are very simple and some are just complains.
– Have no expectations, but never stop dreaming about all the possible incredible things that might happen to you.
– Travel as much as possible, be curious, observe, talk, let other people show you and teach you their life, their principles, their soul: it can be hard sometimes but every little piece of culture that we have met has made us richer individuals and we will treasure it as the most precious gift.
P.s: we decided to take a little summer break from the blog, so we’ll probably be back in September, hopefully full of energy!!!

Since the first movies made their way to the silver screen, such as Georges Melies "A Trip to the Moon", techology has oth built up and destroyed society. Heroes and villains, rich and poor, and men and women have been influenced by and through techology. Computers took over the world in the "Terminator" universe, and humanity achieved the ability to reach "the final frontier" and "boldly go where no one has gone before".
Innovative devices and vehicles have been a boon to our society, but they have also proven to be a detriment. Look at "Hackers" and one can see how technology has opened us up to theft and fraud. Fast forward to more recent events and a film like "Iron-Man", where a self-proclaimed "benevolent" benefactor and maker of mass destruction has an epiphany and decides to use his special suit for good.
Regarding examples of dystopian stories of technology in film that I want to highlight, I can reference a few of my top sci-fi picks. First, "Planet of the Apes" shows us what happens when technology goes too far and ends up destroying the world (blowing us back to the Stone-Age, so to speak). Second, "Logan's Run" and what happens when those chosen to control the population, by killing you when you reach the age of 30, turn 30? They go on the run (especially if their name is Logan). Finally, in one of cinema's greatest scenes involving Charlton Heston, "Soylent Green" turns out to be people.
In each of these instances, society's affinity with technology ending up causing it's eventual downfall.
Are We Doing Our Kids a Disservice?
As someone for whose life technology is sometimes a pervasive part, I wonder if, as an educator, trying to work devices, platforms, programs, applications and the like into every lesson is really a help or a hindrance. I know on the one hand I ask for the freedom to choose what my kids see and do (refer to my last blog for that tidbit), but recently (mainly after an incident regarding a parent's comments about my use of iPhones for movie making) I've been contemplating the eventual outcome of it all.
children who are "street-smart deficient", especially our teens. Kids today do not seem to have the coping skills to deal with all of the trials and tribulations of adolescence. Kids who are bullied don't have the backbone to stand up for themselves or the necessary knowledge to stay away from the troublemakers. Teachers and parents can find tips for dealing with chaos on a myriad of websites, but what about good ole fashioned common sense. Mr. Feeney wouldn't require Wikipedia; Gabe Kotter never Yahooed; Peggy Hill didn't need to Ask Jeeves; Ward Cleaver didn't need Google; Mike Brady never consulted BING; and Donna Reed would never have had to check her daughter's Facebook page to find out what she was up to.
People don't talk face-to-face anymore, instead they text (or worse), email, Skype, blog (oh,the irony), or get together with all of their "friends" on FB. The intimacy of human contact is quickly disappearing, and I am afraid that our children will be even more disconnected than some of us are becoming. I honestly can't remember, as I sit at work, during my prep period, typing this blog, when the last time I went out for an enjoyable evening and purposely left my cell at home. What kind of example am I setting for my own child?
Please understand, I believe technology is an important and definitely fun part of our existence, but we need to take a step back once in a while and actually see the people who are right in front of us, so here's my plan. Instead of always "talking" to each other on FB or through our blogs or on Twitter, why don't those of us who live close to each other Tweet on over to the local Starbucks and get to know each other in person. Let's see if we can build this digital culture into something more meaningful.
As an educator who uses technology for everything from presentations to interactive activities to games that help drive home a point, I am constantly surprised by a school's lack of faith in its students (and when I say "a school" you know I mean "my" school but am hesitant to say so...even though I just did). My view that in order to teach kids responsibilitywe need to give them some - Wow...who does this guy think he is? - does not seem to be shared by some of my colleagues or, especially, the IT guys. "There's too much that we can't monitor", or "Too much could go wrong and we could open ourselves to (insert possible cyberbullying or internet crime situation here).
This is not "Minority Report"; we are not going to start punishing students for things they are thinking of doing (if that's case I...well, that's for another blog). Technology is HERE and educators need to embrace and incorporate it into their curriculum. I'm not saying all the time, but kids use cells phones and laptops and iPod Touches and Go Pros, so why not let them use them to do a report on our founding fathers or make a film about the dangers of and solutions for bullying?
Back I digress...it is rather difficult when I am forced to unblock the simplest of sites for my students, ones that I have approved and found appropriate, or, even worse, unblock a site for myself so I can see if it is. Am I not capable of policing my own students? Are they going to be so horribly affected if they hear ONE curse word in a video that I think could change their way of thinking about those less fortunate, or some worn-torn country that they feel has nothing to do with them because it's 4,000 miles away? I have a vision that this generation will care more deeply about our world and those in it than past generations have so that they can affect the change that we so desperatley require. As a teacher, I need more freedom to utilize my technology in a way that is more meaningful for my students and myself so that we all connect on an appropriate level.
Technology for technology sake is not the answer. But it is a match that can light the fire needed to cleanse our lives and, like the phoenix, allow us to rise from the ashes with a purpose and a new sense of self that takes us into a more enlightened future.

"Love and respect are both very transformative. A loved woman becomes more and more lovely, and respected men become more and more respectable. We all know this at a foundational level. It is true all over the world that when someone bestows love on something or someone, change is visible. I am not talking simply of emotions here – I mean the action of loving, or the action of respecting. Emotions follow actions, and it is one of the great myths of our time that love is an uncontrollable force, coming and going in ways beyond human control." Read the rest over at Femina today.

Like the Tower of Belém and the Monastery of the Hieronymites in Lisbon, and Goa in India, Angra do Heroismo is directly and tangibly associated with an event of a universal historic significance: the maritime exploration that allowed exchanges between the world's great civilizations. Set in the mid-Atlantic, the port of Angra, obligatory port-of-call for fleets from Africa and the Indies, is the eminent example of a creation linked to the maritime world, within the framework of the great explorations.
Within the history of the maritime explorations of the 15th and 16th centuries, which established communications between the great civilizations of Africa, Asia, America and Europe, Angra do Heroismo holds an eminent position: this port on the island of Terceira, in the Azores, served as a link for almost three centuries between Europe and the 'New World'. Vasco de Gama in 1499 and Pedro de Alvarado in 1536 set up an obligatory port-of-call for the fleets of Equatorial Africa and of the East and West Indies during their voyages back and forth from Europe. A Provedoria das Armadas e Naus da India (Office of Fleets and Vessels of the Indies) was immediately set up there.
The site, admirably chosen by the first navigators, was protected from the prevailing winds by a series of hills;the port comprises two natural basins, that of the Beacon and that of the Anchorage (Angra) from which the village took its name. An impregnable defensive system was installed immediately following its foundation with the construction of the large fortresses of São Sebastião and São Filipe (today named São João Baptista). At the same time, it was decided to set out the city based on an original layout: the characteristic chequerboard plan of new cities was altered to take into account the prevailing winds.
Angra do Heroism thus offers a perhaps unique example of the adaptation of an urban model to particular climatic conditions. It has been conjectured, and not without reason, that the choice was imposed by the navigators and their cartographers. Angra was officially raised to the status of a city on 21 August 1534;during the same year, it became the seat of the Archbishop of the Azores. This religious function contributed to the development of the monumental character of the city where the cathedral of the Santissimo Salvador, the churches of the Misericórdia and of the Santo Espérito, the convents of the Franciscans and the Jesuits, were all constructed in the Baroque style. Even following the earthquake of 1 January 1980, Angra has preserved the better part of its monumental heritage and a homogenous urban ensemble, characterized by original vernacular architecture.

The idea for César Chávez Academy started with the death of lifelong Southwest Detroit resident and community volunteer Roland “Irish” Irwin in September 1995. In recognition of the Rev. Don Hanchon’s services and kindness during the time of Irish’s passing and funeral, Irish’s son Patrick offered to assist Rev. Hanchon in exploring options for the vacant and former parochial High School and Grade School owned by St. Gabriel Catholic Church. Patrick had attended St. Gabriel’s elementary school when it was still open and run by the Parish. Over time however, as the building sat primarily vacant, significant disrepair had occurred and the building was filled with numerous roof leaks, faulty plumbing, electrical system problems, sewer back-ups, failing boilers and windows, etc. With the approval of the Archdiocese of Detroit, Rev. Hanchon and Patrick began discussions with the Michigan Partnership for New Education (MPNE) about the possibility of establishing a charter school in the long-closed building. At the time these discussion began charter schools were a relatively new concept for the State of Michigan and very few existed nor was there a great deal of understanding at large on how to start a charter school or manage a charter school.
At the same time that Fr. Hanchon and Patrick Irwin were firming up their vision for the school and exploring management companies to operate this potential school, the Michigan Partner for New Education (MPNE), led by educator Bill Coates and businessman Al Taubman. as well as several other business leaders, were seeking an opportunity to establish their first management oversight for a charter school. Prior to this time MPNE had been a quasi-public think tank that advocated for on behalf of charter school issues and concerns across the State of Michigan. Based upon presentations made by MPNE to Fr. Hanchon and Patrick Irwin, a decision was reached to assemble a tentative Board of Directors from the community at large to work toward the establishment of a charter school. Negotiations between the leaders of this initial Board and MPNE progressed quickly, and at the same time, this tentative César Chávez Academy (CCA )Board and the MPNE were able to make a successful overture to Saginaw Valley State University to grant a charter establishing the school. By the close of 1995 an agreement was reached between MPNE, the representatives of César Chávez’s first school board, and Saginaw Valley State University (chartering university of Chavez) to open the school. At the time of this agreement there were relatively few charter schools open, and César Chávez was one of the first handful of charter schools to begin these initial steps toward operations.
César Chávez initially opened with grades K through 3 and shared the St. Gabriel school building with the Vista Nuevas Head Start program. The founding principal of the César Chávez Academy was Dr. Carlos Lopez – whom later left and became Superintendent of the Oak Park School System. As César Chávez continued to grow, Vista Nuevas eventually left portion of the building they were using for another building just down the street from St. Gabriel's and César Chávez took over all of the available space in the St. Gabriel school building. In order to bring the school building up to code and to properly educate the students of César Chávez, the building required approximately $3.5 million of renovations which included fire prevention systems, gutting of the former high school on the first floor to turn it into a hall/cafeteria area, and numerous other infrastructure repairs. The costs of this renovation were covered by the Archdiocese of Detroit and repaid through rent payments from César Chávez to the Archdiocese of Detroit.
In January 1996 a community meeting of over 100 residents was held in the school basement to announce the intention to establish a school and if there was interest in the community for establishing a school – gathering suggestions for a school name. This first meeting was held prior to a school board having been established and was led by Fr. Hanchon and Patrick Irwin. At this meeting the residents unanimously supported the establishment of a charter school in the mostly vacant building. When the assembled group was asked by Patrick Irwin as to what the school should be called, Maria Chavez – a lifelong resident of the community stated to the assembled audience “César Chávez”. Another attendee of the meeting stood up to ask "Who is he" - to which Ms. Chavez replied "He's our Martin Luther King" – to which everyone in the room began applauding. No other names were offered to name the school and on a one voice recommendation – the name and destiny of the school was selected. The César Chávez Academy honors the legacy of César Chávez who dedicated his entire life to the cause of social justice and the rights of all people to dignity and respect. During his lifetime César Chávez, as a human rights and labor leader, spent many hours and days in the Detroit community in his pursuit of support and assistance for his labor and peace struggles. César Chávez was as a close friend to Monsignor Clement Kern (deceased) former pastor of Most Holy Trinity Church in Detroit - and Cesar spent many nights at the rectory of Holy Trinity when he stayed in Detroit.
The first year students enrolled at César Chávez was in the fall of 1996 in grades K through 3, with slightly over 100 students. The first CCA grade school principal was Dr. Carlos Lopez, who stayed for one year. The first year was particularly difficult as the new board, teachers, students and parents all grappled with the enormous responsibility involved with providing a quality education for the community. Over time additional grades were added to the César Chávez Academy one class at a time until the school eventually outgrew the St. Gabriel location and needed to add grades 6 through 8. In 1998 the César Chávez School Board rented a building off Trumbull and Labrosse to house the establishment of a middle school in a building that once was the headquarters of the Joe Muer restaurant chain. This middle school building location – some five miles away from the grade school necessitated the establishment of bus transportation system between the two campuses. While all agreed that the location was too far away in distance from the grade school, there were no other suitable building locations in the area, and this was the best the Board could do at that time. The first middle school principal was Terry Blevens, who was then followed up by founding school board member Beatrice Esquivel who left the César Chávez Academy Board of Directors to become the middle school principal.
As students progressed through the Academy the decision was made to provide 8th graders with a César Chávez high school to attend. A third building was needed and the Board of Directors purchased temporary modular buildings which were placed on the middle school campus to house high school students until a more permanent solution could be found. Middle school principal Beatrice Esquivel moved to become the founding high school principal and longtime middle school assistant principal Rick Guerra moved to become the middle school principal.
The modulars stayed in place for two years at the middle school location while the Board worked out a purchase agreement in the year 2000 for property at 1761 Waterman. This location housed a three-story abandoned office building and truck repair warehouse and was also used as a dumping ground for abandoned cars, building materials, etc. The property was purchased for the sum of approximately $350,000. The owner of the property, however, attempted to commit fraud by selling the property to two parties at once, and it was only after the involvement of the Board's land acquisition and project developer, Norman Lopatin of the firm Lopatin and Company, that the situation become resolved. Norman was also able to secure a significant financial concession on the purchase price for the César Chávez Board because of the attempted fraud.
To finance the construction of the school the Board - through the Municipal Capital Markets Group - issued a $10 million Wall Street bond. This bond financed a renovation of the existing office building, a building extension to house additional classrooms and a cafeteria, along with the renovation of the former truck warehouse into a gymnasium and classroom building. The Board decided to save rather than tear down the former warehouse, as a testimony to the history of the community and to build a unique gymnasium/classroom experience. The Board also commissioned builder and artist Carlos Huerta to design historical era art work to ring the outer top walls of the building which depict various cultural symbols important to the Mayan, Aztec and Toltec worlds. The art works also include 3shamrocks, representing various ethnicities within Southwest Detroit and the historical friendship between the Mexican and Irish communities ("los patricios" (from St. Patrick) who fought on behalf of Mexico, Mexican people, and civil rights).
Once the high school was completed in 2003 the former high school modulars were moved over to the new high school campus and the Board then embarked upon its 5th building decision - to move the middle school from its far too distant location on Trumbull to a location closer to the High School. After unsuccessful attempts to purchase the vacant YMCA building on Clark and Vernor (offer made for $400,000 - owners sought $1.5 million) and an unsuccessful attempt to purchase property adjacent and across the side street from the high school, a decision was reached to build the middle school directly behind the high school on property already owned by the Board. In 2005 a bond issuance of $6.1 million was issued through Municipal Capital Markets Group once again to build the middle school. An innovative approach was chosen for the construction of the building: pre-fabricated structures were built in Indiana and shipped to Detroit, then lifted into place by crane and finished by on site/traditional construction methods (i.e. glass lobby, stairwells, bricking of the building, etc.). The entire construction project took only 6 months (starting in March) and was completed in time for school to start in August 2005.
The bonds for both the High School and Middle School are payable over a 30-year period with dedicated time intervals for early repayment or refinancing at the decision of the César Chávez Board. The issuance of these bonds – all done at the behest of the César Chávez Board’s community volunteers – represent the largest investments ever taken in Southwest Detroit by a volunteer, community-based board. The oversight construction of the schools was also undertaken by Lopatin.
César Chávez Academy has an enrollment of approximately 1,650 students in grades K through 12 with 600 of those in the high school, 600 in the middle school and approximately 450 in the grade school. The mission of the school is to be the top urban based school district in the country as evidenced through motivated and prepared instruction, a disciplined learning environment and a commitment to providing students with all of the many tools, resources and educational experiences which they will need to be successful in life. Each school building has its own school leader and assistant leader, and all three schools are overseen by a school superintendent. As a publicly funded school within the State of Michigan, César Chávez students are required to follow all State of Michigan public school requirements, including participation in MEAP testing, and to remain in compliance with the Federal "No Child Left Behind Act".
The Board has a negotiated contractual agreement with The Leona Group to manage the business, curriculum, academic, personnel and most of the day-to day affairs of the Academy. As such the Board does not hire employees, perform any review of management of César Chávez employees, administer any benefits or pay structures, or become involved in the day-to-day management of the school. The Board meets on a monthly basis – the 2nd Monday of each month – rotating between all three school buildings. The agreement between The Leona Group and the CCA Board is three years in length and has been renewed at each time of expiration since the first agreement was signed in 1995. In terms of compensation for The Leona Group’s services, the Board pays the Leona Group approximately 10% of annual revenues (approximately $1.5 million annual based on school revenues of approximately $15 million in 2006) to manage the affairs of the school. These dollars are on top of the Board’s responsibility to fund all of the salaries and benefits for all César Chávez employees as well as all other expenses of the Academy. In many ways it is applicable to consider The Leona Group as the “central office” administration for all of the many activities needed by the school, such as paying bills, administering contracts, hiring, performance, grant writing, etc. The Board is responsible for Academy policies and procedures, all budgetary issues and approval, negotiating the management agreement with the school management firm (The Leona Group) as well as ensuring that The Leona Group is meeting all of the agreed upon provisions of the contractual management agreement.

An Oral Statement to the 31st Session of the UN Human Rights Council from the Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC) on Myanmar’s UPR Outcomes. Due to time constraints in Council proceedings, the following Oral Statement could not be presented at the Council. The Statement is now being shared to inform the wider audience in Myanmar and across the world about the ALRC’s campaign on institutional transformation in Myanmar.
The Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC) notes that the adoption of UPR Outcomes on Myanmar coincides with the long-cherished struggles for democracy in Myanmar coming to fruition. The flowering of democracy in Myanmar is proof that people’s desire for democracy will succeed military repression; it is a lesson for Myanmar’s neighbours.
For instance, there are nationwide programmes, sponsored by the UN and other international agencies, to train judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and civil servants, including the police, on the rule of law, human rights, and corruption prevention. Resources are being spent, with the expectation that training alone will reform justice machinery.
But, justice institutions in Myanmar do not have institutional memory of independence and transparency. Neither do conditions exist nor are changes offered that could promote such a culture. The Myanmar police have no experience in scientifically investigating crimes; assisting the Military to subdue people was a singular responsibility. The same goes for the Judiciary and prosecution. Since 1962, at least two generations have grown up with fear and distrust of authoritarian rule rather than the rule of law. For such people – to imbibe and practice the rule of law – mere trainings are not enough.
The international community must work closely with the people of Myanmar, to encourage radical re-designing and re-engineering of the justice process. The justice machinery of Myanmar needs adequate infrastructure to improve democratic space. It is a long-term commitment; it cannot be achieved through pre-packaged programmes. Only if this commitment to re-engineering the justice process is embraced can the UPR Outcomes, as reflected in the recommendations, be achieved.

Over the years online courses have continued to become more popular. In the beginning, it looked like the idea wouldn’t be quite successful. The education systems we have installed currently have proven time and again to be quite porous. By this, I mean that they are quite inefficient. The fact that we have successful people that broke out and still made it in life proves this fact. However, we can’t assume that the system is broken. Here is a detailed discussion of the disadvantages and advantages that come with online classes.
Flexibility – Instead of the rigid timetable system we’re used to, online classes foreign flexibility that keeps you comfortable. Most online schools give the student the luxury of creating their own schedule. Some of you out there would want to study in school but maybe daytime responsibilities deem this impossible. Well, now there is a way to kill two birds with one stone, online classes.
More Interaction – Although this is thought to be quite relative, most people believe online courses to be more interactive. This is backed by the fact that one can communicate with the lecturer at any time. As opposed to the traditional way of always waiting for lesson time, this is way better in my opinion. If you are still a bit skeptical about this search for mystatlab answers and you will come across a lot of interactive videos.
Comfort – Have you ever been in a 2 pm class when it is 30 degrees outside? If you have then it is easy to understand why one would prefer to study from the comfort of their house. Also, the wooden chairs available for students in school can never compare to the couch you leave in the house.
Lower costs – As compared to the normal classroom system as a fact, this online version is way cheaper. Most students struggle with the outrageous prices of the Universities out there trying to make all ends meet. Well, there is a better option, online courses.
Learn whatever you want – Online, the options are limitless. No longer do you have to travel hundreds of miles just to be told the course is not available in the institution that you are in.
Self-discipline – To be able to hack this alternative one needs to be very disciplined. It is like sticking to your personal timetable. Never will it be easy. But with your degree or certificate on the line, you will have to summon the inner disciplined you at all times as required always.
Impersonal – Seasoned pros advice that face to face will always have more effect than sitting in front of a screen.
While justifying the fact of the advantages and disadvantages of taking online classes you find that education will always be personal. One method might have worked on you but might have the opposite effect on your peers. So it is best to first have a conversation with yourself before you come to a conclusion about whether or not you would like to take on online classes.

I-70 closure during winter traffic snarl (I-70 Coalition photo).
Summit County lawmaker Julie McCluskie and Colorado Speaker of the House KC Becker on Monday celebrated a committee victory for their bipartisan bills they say will allow the state to “better fund public schools, higher education and transportation.” The bills would ask voters to let the state spend excess tax revenues above the TABOR cap equally on those three things.
“Leaders in business; health care; K-12 and higher education; transportation; and rural, urban and suburban Colorado talked about the value of the bipartisan measures we’re putting forward,” Rep. McCluskie, D-Dillon, said in a release, referring to the bills’ initial approval in the House Finance Committee.
“This is not going to solve our state’s funding crisis, but these are one-time use dollars that can have a real impact. It’s common-sense, it’s smart, and it’s about doing what’s right,”she added. Becker echoed those sentiments.
“The state budget should be able to grow with the economy so we can make important, investments in our future. It makes sense to ask voters whether the state can keep the money it already receives when times are good and that’s what we’re proposing,”said Becker, D-Boulder.
“The TABOR cap is an antiquated fiscal policy that has severely limited Colorado’s ability to invest in basic functions of government. This is not an answer to all of Colorado’s fiscal problems, but it’s a strong first step in making sure our fiscal policy supports our way of life,” Becker added, referring to the 1992 passage of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.
The combination of TABOR and Colorado’s unwillingness to raise its gas tax since 1991 is blamed for the state’s 12th-lowest level of road funding nationally and a $9 billion budgeting shortfall for the Colorado Department of Transportation’s list of needed road and bridge repairs and upgrades.
Turns out there was no immediate catastrophe – just the slow-motion strangulation of Colorado’s key east-west corridor between its major metropolitan areas along the Front Range and the mountain resort playgrounds that make the state a world-famous tourist destination. All these years later, the actual disaster of a booming population and dwindling highway budget continues.
A Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce study found that I-70 congestion costs $839 million in 2005 dollars every year in lost time, productivity, tourism and local and state tax revenues. About 70 percent of CDOT’s annual $1.4 billion transportation budget goes to maintenance, and Colorado’s 22-cent gas tax – the 12th lowest in the nation – has not been increased since 1991.
Solin, who works for the Northern Colorado Legislative Alliance — the public policy arm of the Fort Collins, Loveland and Greeley chambers of commerce – is focused on expanding Interstate 25 north of Denver. But she also works closely with the Vail Valley Partnership on I-70. Her groups sees a gas-tax increase with an index as the most viable option with voters.

There's a lot of bluster in the restructuring community about Amazon, e-commerce and the death of brick-and-mortar retail. It's hard not to be sanguine about the future of retail when the bankruptcy roll is littered with names like General Wireless Operations, hhgregg Inc., Gander Mountain Co., Gordmans Stores Inc., and Vanity Shop of Grand Forks Inc. - and those are just the filings that have occurred in March.
In the interest of completeness, though, there is SOME nuance here and that nuance largely depends on socioeconomic and geographic considerations. This Washington Post story features interesting data about the adoption of e-commerce and while it has grown in nearly every state, there are some states that have been very slow to adopt it, e.g., Idaho, South Dakota, Colorado, Arkansas and Arizona. The macro trend remains the obvious, of course, but we thought this was worth noting. Sometimes it's erroneous to paint with too broad a brush.
Retail, ecommerce, Amazon, General Wireless Operations, Radio Shack, hhgregg Inc., Gander Mountain Co., Gordman's, Vanity Shop of Grand Forks Inc.

In THIS facinating opinion piece, a Yale physicist explains how all the gold we have on the planet may indeed have come from stars!
Thinking about how mysterious all this stuff of living actually is, how many spontaneus combustions may have led to today, its a beautiful though that we, too, have to be cracked open sometimes in order to emerge much bigger and better.

The transition from imagined drama to reality grows tedious.
Keira Knightley Stars in "Atonement."
Theatrical Review: Halfway into his masterful 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, Joe Wright's camera enters the tight hallways and expansive rooms of a late-18th-century estate with several suites dedicated to smoking, gossiping and dancing. Fluidly drifting through encounters and gestures, the camera picks up the lilting remnants of conversations both benign and interesting. It's a miraculous and graceful scene that palpably exudes the feeling of being caught in a nest of gadflies.
In Prejudice, this movement picked up on the vastness of the social mores and attitudes that were so prevalent at the time and, indeed, were deciding factors not only in the Bennett family's life but in everyone's life in the early 19th century. But Atonement isn't about being together or social networking at all. Quite the contrary: McEwan's novel and by extension Wright's film are about the ways we are separated and how we scatter into memories both fictional and real; it's ultimately about one girl's obsession with the neatness and calculation of drama.
Briony (Saoirse Ronan) has just finished a play when we meet her, accompanied by the fluttering of rhythmic typewriter punches courtesy of Dario Marianelli's inventive score. She has decided to stage her play for her brother's homecoming with her cousin Lola (Juno Temple) in the lead. It's on a break from rehearsals that she witnesses her older sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley) in a strange exchange with Robbie (James McAvoy), a gardener and the son of their cook (Brenda Blethyn). Unknown to anyone, an attraction between Robbie and Cecilia has been brewing for many years.
Briony, only 13, starts projecting her own story onto what she witnessed. Her imagination has even more to play with when she reads a dirty note from Robbie to Cecilia and, later, finds them together in Cecilia's room. The chance to launch her fiction into reality presents itself when the sexually awakened Briony finds Lola getting raped by a man whom she fingers as Robbie. For five years, Robbie will be remanded to the army, while Cecilia trys to build a life for the both of them back home. Meanwhile, Briony trains as a nurse as an act of penance for her flights of fantasy.
Often regarded as one of the best books of the last decade, McEwan's novel is largely about the spaces that language can create, and, in the sprawling structure of Cecilia and Briony's home, Wright finds that and gives the film an impressive sense of detail with help from cinematographer Seamus McGarvey. Wright's concentration is at times stupendous, especially when studying the differences between actual action and Briony's perception. Notably, Ronan's performance strongly expresses a know-it-all mentality while quietly diagnosing the obsessions of a young writer. But as he moves outwards toward the landscapes of Robbie's regiment and the methodical day-to-days of Briony's nurse station, the director loses the hushed details and his hold on the central theme comes loose.
Wright's biggest problem comes in conveying the loneliness and isolation felt by the three characters. His images are full, rich, and colorful at almost every turn; even the image of Robbie finding a mass of executed schoolgirls has a sense of communal horror. Shot mainly in medium shots with few instances of her alone, Briony's wanting to atone doesn't come across as a struggle but rather as an act of marking time. Concluding Briony's struggle, the filmmaker returns to the fictionalizing and neatness of dreamt fiction but the transition from imagined drama to reality grows tedious. For both Briony and Wright, the act of setting a personal tone to an existing story comes with the incapability of knowing the damage one can inflict.
Rated R for disturbing war images, language and some sexuality.

SWBAT compare and contrast the theme and details of 3 versions of the same story by different authors and make a connections to the world.
The fables differ in their plot and theme â letâs look at the versions and make connections.
Review 'plot'. How you use the headers for story elements. Using a visual reminder of the story elements helps for the kids generalize how the characters, events, problems and solutions interact in a story.
I used this connecting plot and theme chart as a reminder of plot vs theme.
Draw 3 houses on the whiteboard. "I have 3 houses here because there were 3 pigs. There were also 3 stories that I read."
"We'll find the plot and theme for the 1st story. Key details for the plot are in the words and illustrations.
Quickly read one of the books and have students brainstorm with you – THINK OUT LOUD - “The pigs built 3 houses – yes that’s a key detail. The pig has a flute - does that help me understand the story better? So let’s do our math problem – characters + problem + solution. What is the key detail about the problem? What detail could you write for the solution? Let’s make a ‘plot sentence’ that makes sense." Here's the whiteboard example for this book.
“Now let's write the key details to make a plot and theme for the second book together."
Read book 2, making comments as you go… that seems like an important detail…. I don’t think that part is a key detail. The problem seems to be….. This story seems to be about…. As you finish a story, give them a moment to write down their connection and reasoning." (I read the next story to the kids because there was not time to have the kids read them and they were above their reading level.) I also did do considerable prompting with the second story. Here's the whiteboard example book 2 and a video of some prompting for theme.
See if you can figure out the details, theme and connections yourselves."
I did put up ideas after the kids were mostly finished for my struggling students. Here are the prompts on the whiteboard for book 3 and how I prompted to get a connection.
Here's an example of student artifact.
The emphasis in the Common Core Standards toward the ability to compare and contrast versions of a story (RL.2.9). Fables are a great choice for this because there are usually several versions. I chose this fable because the students are very familiar with it, but enjoy hearing the different versions. They are familiar with the details of the basic story, but the versions vary in theme and some plot details.
These fables are fun to examine for character development (RL.2.2), helping the students learn how to read closely and examine text to verify answers to questions. The characters change and develop in different ways in these versions and the students can understand the humor of the newer versions.
Students share their favorite version was and why they liked it. Give explicit text evidence.
Students share their connections and why they picked the theme.
Encourage students to share their ideas and connections. You can gauge student understanding by listening to their connections. Were they shallow connections (I like the pigs’ houses ) or deeper connections (The plot of this story switched the characters and we saw a different point of view.) Make comments on the kinds of connections that the students made. Also ask them to verify the reasons why they liked or didn’t like the stories.
For students with academic challenges more prompting will be needed. I did go through the organizer pieces with them to help them fill it out. I also ‘modeled out loud’ my thinking when I read – “I can make a connection to those beautiful flowers because I went to a garden and loved the smell!”. Encourage them to make those deeper connections, even if you have to lead them through the process.

The 11th-annual Reebok CrossFit Games will take place this week in Madison, Wisconsin. Whether you're obsessed with the popular fitness regimen or merely curious to see what all the fuss is about, you should check it out. You'll see the world's most functionally strong athletes compete in a grueling, four-day contest to determine who is fittest. By the end of it, these men and women will inspire you to do burpees at home as you watch their feats of strength.
The games begin Thursday, August 3 and run until Sunday, August 6, 2017.
Sprint O-Course - A March-Madness-style bracket will determine who is the fastest. And who doesn't love a good obstacle course?
Strongman's Fear - This aptly named event has everything: yoke carries, handstand walks, farmers log carries and sled drags. It will test athletes strength, endurance, power, speed, balance and will. Watch CrossFit athlete Alex Parker demonstrate.
2RM Front Squat - There are two reasons to watch this event: 1) We all know how to do a front squat, and 2) You may just watch someone your grandparents' age put you to shame.
Burpee Litter - The Team competition may very well come down to the only and final event on Sunday. This one requires 250-meter litter runs, hay bale burpees...all with weighted vests.
This year, the Games partnered with CBS Sports and Facebook to allow viewers to watch on any device, from any location.
On Television: Watch two hours of action each day at 10 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network. On Saturday, August 5, catch live coverage at 1 p.m. ET on CBS Television or CBS All Access.
Online and Streaming: You can check out each of the competitions by going to the CrossFit Games website or on Facebook via the CrossFit Games Updates Facebook page. Join the group and adjust your notification settings so you can stay up on all the action. CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports app will each air up to 40 hours of live coverage of team and individual competitions.
Mat Fraser - After finishing runner-up in 2014 and 2015, Fraser finally broke through to win the 2016 CrossFit Games. His performance was the most dominant in the competition's history, and he has even bigger plans this year as he goes for back-to-back championship performances. There's a reason some call him the world's fittest man.
Ben Smith - The 27-year-old Key West native has been a staple at the CrossFit Games every year since 2009. After years of finishing near the top, Smith finally won first place in 2015. Last year, he finished second behind Fraser, and this year you can expect him to be in contention come Sunday.
Spencer Hendel - Hendel is a strong sleeper pick for this year's Games. He recently paid a visit to the Men's Health Rec Room, where he talked about the meaning behind his tattoo and shared tips on how to perform a medicine ball clean and press. He is a seven-time CrossFit Games athlete and hopes to beat his personal best of fifth-place this year.
Sara Sigmundsdóttir - Some consider the 24-year-old Icelandic weightlifter to be the odds-on favorite to win the Women's tournament, and it's not hard to see why. She finished third place in both the 2015 and 2016 Games. Now, she is entering her athletic prime and figures to finish Sunday as the fittest woman on Earth.

Each year Open Studio awards two residencies to emerging artists of merit.
This scholarship was founded in 1988 in memory of printmaker Don Phillips who helped establish printmaking as a fine art practice in Canada. The Don Phillips Scholarship is for a student enrolled in their final year of an undergraduate art program (full or part-time) with a printmaking major at an accredited Canadian institution who will be graduating and who will not be returning to full-time studies in September. Click here for submission guidelines.
This residency was launched in 2016 in memory of Jeannie Thib (1955-2013), a talented artist and cherished member of the Open Studio community. Thib was born in North Bay, Ontario in 1955 and obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts at York University in Toronto in 1979. Inspired by her experiences in the wilderness of Northern Ontario, her work included ornamented sculptures, installations and prints. As Jeannie was a great supporter of other artists, long established and emerging, a mentoring focused residency is a fitting and relevant way to honour Jeannie Thib’s legacy. This residency is open to a printmaker in the early stages of their career, who has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to their practice within the last one to five years.

Looking for a hand here, I'm wanting to do a Canadian JTF2 inspired loadout. I've done some googling but I've only found one or two decent reference pics I could definitely ID as JTF2. I've also spoken to Dave @ Maple Leaf Tac who's been dead helpful.
I'll be doing this after Christmas when I have some money but researching now so I know where I stand.
I'll loosely convert my rifle to a C8 CQB too. Pouch wise on the 6094 I'll be running a triple M4 insert to the kangaroo, a Blue Force Gear 10speed triple on top of that, then either BFG 10speed pistol pouches or maybe ESSTAC KYWIs on the left cummerbund, smoke/ pyros on the right cummerbund (probably Tactical Tailor smoke pouches, or Warrior ones if money is tight) and a hydro/ team back panel on the rear. I'll run a med kit on the rear left cummerbund. I'm presuming that IRL pouch placement is pretty much decided by the operator so I'm kinda going for that when thinking about that sort of layout as its a similar layout to my current setup.
If I do comms it'll be housed in a PRC152 case (or other kosher radio, I believe a 152 is okay but feel free to correct me ) in an MBITR pouch on the rear right cummerbund.
Any help/ info/ more reference pics would be appreciated.
All seems pretty sensible to me, I'd steer clear of ESSTAC stuff for an impression kit though, they're not issued and very few soldiers buy their own kit.
The thing that'll set your kit apart though and really ID it as being Canadian is the gun. You'll need to get the C8 spot on.
@jcheeseright yeah I'll probably go BFG for the pistol pouches. I don't know if they're necessarily issued but in terms of private purchase I've seen lots more Tier1 use them in general than the ESSTAC stuff.
Yeah I agree on the C8. I've got a G&G rifle that I'll convert over time I think, I need to do the research for a parts list first though and get an idea of the money involved in a conversion. I'll sort the kit out first, and then get the rifle done- that'll take the loadout from 'inspired' to 'impression' I think.

The aim of the research is mentioning the importance of visual language and visual culture in the process of culture building and commenting by benefiting from methodologies which different disciplines apply and to emphasize the effectiveness of the artist in cultural field researches. The relationship of production processes and ethnography has been examined by using literature survey method with this aim in this research. Ethnographic field study is a process based on long period of participation in the life of the group which the ethnographer studies and by this way it is based on the data taken. In this process, different ways of getting information are preferred. One of these is visual documentation. When we take art products as a visual document lightning cultural life of the period, it is also possible to see ethnographic identity which focuses on individual, group and society structure by the way of observations which are in close relationship with the daily life of the artist. “Being there” as a basic principle of ethnography figure is also important in the frame of looking inside from inside rather than looking from outside which has been loaded on the artist. As a result, it has been seen that different disciplines have been used by artists purposely or without any purpose by knowing different methodologies of different disciplines in arts researches and productions. The artist who tries to understand his period, looking for answers for the problems has been in struggle for looking around himself more closely. Ethnography is only one of these ways.
Keywords:. Visual ethnography, contemporary art, culture.

Now that we're about four years out from the depths of the Great Recession, it's time to get some clarity on what exactly happened to the 28 million small businesses so vital to the economy.
We know these businesses were hit the hardest, but how hard may be a bit of mystery. We also want to know how they're faring during the recovery, and what their prospects are for the future.
Look no further than former Small Business Administration chief Karen Mills's erudite Harvard Business School paper on small business lending, entitled The State of Small Business Lending: Credit Access During the Recovery and How Technology May Change the Game, published Tuesday.
The paper paints a somewhat bleak picture of the lending environment critical to the growth of small businesses since the recession. At the same time, Mills, now a senior fellow at Harvard Business School, holds out a strong ray of hope for the role of new technology and alternative lenders in easing the small business lending gap.
Between 2007 and 2012, the small business share of total net job losses was about 60 percent. From the employment peak before the recession until the last low point in March 2009, jobs at small firms fell about 11 percent.
By contrast, payrolls at larger businesses shrank by about 7 percent. Jobs declined 14.1 percent in establishments with fewer than 50 employees, compared with 9.5 percent in businesses with 50 to 500 employees, while overall employment decreased 8.4 percent.
Mills has a unique perspective, having assumed her SBA post at the height of the financial meltdown. She watched as the SBA's lending in its flagship guaranteed 504 and 7(a) loan programs fell off dramatically, cut in half as activity in the secondary market for the loans froze up.
Mills is credited with pulling a number of levers at the SBA to get banks lending again, through a combination of increased guarantees on loans and reduced fees for borrowers, as well as a personal lobbying effort to get community banks back into the fold. Her endeavors led to some record years of lending, with the SBA's loan portfolio back up around $100 billion. Though some argue that the SBA's increased lending size standards, which gave bigger businesses access to higher value SBA-backed loans starting in 2010, has played a role in extending the lending crisis for the smallest businesses.
Regardless, Mills is concerned that small businesses are still struggling and the credit gap is widening.
"If we fast-forward to the recovery, you have lots of banks who want to lend, but they have increased capital requirements, and they have some regulatory overhang," Mills said in an interview with Inc. Monday, adding that banks are also looking for more clarity on what regulators want.
Specifically, Mills writes: Small business loans on the balance sheets of banks are down 21 percent since the recession, while loans to bigger businesses have increased about four percent over the same period. Part of the reason, Mills postulates, is that banks have simply lost interest in making smaller loans, because they are costly to underwrite and yield less than larger loans.
Transaction costs to process a $100,000 loan are comparable to a $1 million loan, but with less profit. As a result, banks are less likely to engage in lending at the smallest dollar level. Some banks, particularly larger banks, have significantly reduced or eliminated loans below a certain threshold, typically $100,000 or $250,000, or simply will not lend to small businesses with revenue of less than $2 million, as a way to limit time-consuming applications from small businesses.
Into this void has rushed alternative lenders. These include everyone from providers of merchant cash advances and factoring agents, to peer-to-peer platforms such as Lending Club, as well as marketplaces such as Biz2Credit, Kabbage, Fundera, and Lendio.
"There is a whole category of new entrants who are providing a marketplace, facilitating the matching of willing lenders with qualified borrowers," notes Mills. She adds that these lenders are also making advances in the way loans are underwritten, taking advantage of non-traditional sources of data--for example, account balance data--to make faster decisions than banks can.
At the same time, such lenders make up only about 11 percent of the credit facilities available to small business owners. And the lack of regulatory oversight for many of these new financing arrivals is a cause for wariness, particularly as their loans often come with interest rates that are sky high, as much as 40 percent.
"We need to have some concerns for small business owners because the rates are very high, and we might be concerned that people could be taking advantage of them," Mills says.

The analysis of real-time data allowed by the current technology has revolutionized numerous sectors and business forms. Here Operational Intelligence comes into play.
Time is "gold" and "gold" is money, therefore, time is "money". Up to here nothing new. And the other great truth is that, "information", today more than ever is "power", but it must be valuable information, useful information.
Therefore, if we have valuable information and in real time of the operating processes of our business, it would be the perfect formula to optimize a strategic decision making that contributes to: save in operational costs, improve the user experience of my clients, improve service levels, avoid dissatisfied customers, differentiation, improve brand image, etc.
All this acquires greater value if possible, when the business operating processes are very complex or even critical. It requires having a complete and real-time view of each of the business processes, knowing the status of them, and having the ability to reduce response times in the implementation of corrective actions.
This is operational intelligence, a new form of real-time analysis that offers visibility and knowledge of business operations.
It is possible to make a massive ingestion of heterogeneous data related to the business environment that are correlated, compared, obtained by prediction algorithms, etc., in short, they are "cooked" to transform the raw data into useful information that is presented to the user through interest KPIs, alerts, notifications, reports, etc.
An important aspect that an operative intelligence system should consider is the "Data quality". Here metadata comes into play, a series of attributes that are added to the signals and that are able to inform the user if the analyzed data is valid based on a set of configurable criteria.
When making decisions, a poor quality of the starting data can lead to wrong decisions and lack of precision in the prediction algorithms.
Detection of anomalous values (high values, zero values, negative values, dead band, etc), gaps alerts or lack of data, invalid values, out-of-date values, data weightings or alerts based on consumption patterns, are some KPIs made with quality of the data that every operational intelligence system should consider.
The technology capable of processing millions of data and transforming raw information into useful information, into knowledge and ultimately into strategic value for the business is the BIG DATA technology. The ability to analyze a massive ingestion of data in real time, obtain statistics, store historical data and elaborate methods of compression, are some characteristics of this technology.
The IDbox platform is an operational intelligence tool . Based on BIGDATA technology, it is able to integrate, process and analyze data in real time in a simple way , quickly and intuitively for the user.
The best way to exploit and extract the most relevant information from all the environmental variables that influence your business, even those that "you did not know".
It is as important to have an efficient operative intelligence tool as the versatility that this platform adds to the user when exploiting it, that is, "If to turn on a light, we have to press 8 switches, we all know that this would not make sense", the same thing happens here. For this reason, IDbox is characterized for being an intuitive platform, very agile in its management and providing the user with their own autonomy when developing their own KPIs and value reports for their business.
Create sessions of analysis of information based on real-time graphs, trends, patterns, comparisons, predictions, correlation graphs, dispersion, creation of alerts and notifications, synoptics, dashboard to "click hit", intuitively set rules of ad hoc business, geo-positioning of signals, operation, etc. are just some of the features provided by the operative intelligence platform IDbox.

There is increasing emphasis on community-based health care. Evaluation of both government and non-government maternal and child care services in Hong Kong is a key objective for future development. The Kwun Tong Community Health Project, one of the Government's subsidy services, aim is to help in the rapid growth of the community so as to recognize needs, and to resolve health care issues. The present paper examines the findings of a consumer evaluation of three community health centers in the Kwun Tong Community Health Project, regarding clients' satisfaction towards the accessibility, information, use, medical consultation, perceptions of health problems of infants and cost of services provided. There was overall satisfaction expressed by the clients regarding health maintenance officers and the services provided. Provision of comprehensive family-focused care, including child and women's health was highly recommended. Parents' participation in decision-making about care and discussion about the child's health care plan were recognized as important issues to consider. Provision of play facilities and more flexible hours of operation were found to be beneficial in improving client's satisfaction. Finally, continuing education of the health maintenance officers was recognized as pertinent for them to update their knowledge while providing health education to the clients.

Museu Raset is a museum of modern art that exhibits works of art of the Swiss-Dutch Bueler-Bernard family collection. Before opening the museum Tony Bueler and Hilde Bernard lived in Holland for 30 years, where their enthusiasm for art collecting began. With dedication, vision and a large dose of passion they scouted around countless museums, galleries, art fairs and auction houses in Holland and abroad. During their time as collectors, the couple acquainted a lot of art professionals, with many of whom they formed close partnerships and friendships. They amassed a distinctive private collection that is testimony of their journey of artistic exploration. Their home came to be packed with artistic treasures, from the floor to (and including!) the ceiling. By chance, whilst on holiday in Llança, Spain, friends acquainted Tony with a handsome mansion in the hamlet Raset, Cervià de Ter. The couple were charmed by it and saw it as the right time to embark on a new adventure. They opened the doors of Museu Raset in 2005.
Four gallery spaces are currently open to the public with changing exhibitions. A further 16 galleries are waiting to undergo renovations.

In the pre-Thanksgiving rush, we have received an early weather report from our in-house weather reporters. This is one, you should be sure to email your Mom.
Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high near 190F. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder.
During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce creates slippery spots on the other. Please pass the gravy.
A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway. During the evening, the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34F in the refrigerator.
Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50 percent chance of scattered soup late in the day. We expect a warming trend where soup develops. By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will be the bone.

Some devices need to be aware of the conditions of their environment, such as ambient light or temperature. For example, a thermostat to be able to sense the ambient temperature in order to regulate the room temperature accurately. In some cases, environmental sensing is related to the core functionality of a product (e.g. a thermostat). In other situations, this information is used for ancillary purposes, such as product safety (e.g. over-temperature protection) or battery life (e.g. to enable a power-saving mode). This article gives a brief overview of environmental sensors that are commonly found in smart devices.
A light-dependent resistor (LDR) is a resistor whose value changes in response to light. The resistance of LDRs will decrease in response to more light. LDR sensors are simple and cheap. These sensors are analog, but they are simple to interface with most microcontrollers. However, they are temperature-dependent, meaning that they are not suitable for precision measurements. LDRs also respond more slowly than other types of light sensors. Typically, their resistance value lags 10ms behind ambient light conditions. Certain types of LDRs is restricted in Europe (RoHS directive) because they contain cadmium.
Another group of light sensors are photodiodes and phototransistors. Unlike LDRs, photodiodes are true semiconductor devices. Photodiodes are diodes that lack an opaque coating around the active element. Because of this, their operation is influenced by visible light. In light-sensor circuits, photodiodes are reverse-biased so that they block the flow of electricity. Incident light will knock electrons loose, causing a small leakage current proportional to the amount of ambient light. This signal can be amplified in order to detect ambient light conditions. Photodiodes respond much more quickly than LDRs. However, they require additional support circuitry for amplification. Reverse-biased LEDs also exhibit photosensitive behavior. Phototransistors are related to photodiodes, but they are more convenient because they have amplification built-in.
A third option is to use a specialized light-sensor IC. They are usually more expensive, but they are more precise and easier to use. Their spectrum response is similar to that of the human eye. Less advanced light sensors are also very sensitive to UV light, which is invisible to humans. Typically, these ICs have amplification and analog-to-digital conversion circuitry built-in. This simplifies the electronics design and improves sensor precision.
Thermistors are resistors whose resistance is dependent on temperature. Conceptually, they are similar to light-dependent resistors, though they measure a different physical quantity. Thermistors offer an inexpensive way to measure temperature. However, they are not very accurate and their sensing range is limited (< 100°C). Thermistors exist in two different types: negative temperature coefficient (NTC) and positive temperature coefficient (PTC). NTCs will decrease in resistance as temperature rises, whereas PTCs will increase in resistance. Thermistors that are suitable for temperature sensing applications typically have a nominal resistance of 1 kOhm to 10 kOhm.
Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are similar to thermistors in that they change resistance in response to changes in temperature. However, RTDs are made out of a fine metallic strand wrapped around a ceramic core, whereas thermistors are generally made out of a ceramic or a polymer. Unlike thermistors, RTDs offer a very high degree of accuracy and repeatability. They can be used at temperatures up to 600°C. However, they are much more expensive and they require careful amplification. PT100 and PT1000 are common types of RTDs. The sensing element is made of platinum, and they have a nominal resistance of 100 Ohm and 1000 Ohm respectively.
Thermocouple probes rely on the Seebeck effect to measure temperature. This effect generates a small voltage when the junction between two dissimilar materials is heated, and this voltage is proportional to the temperature. Thermocouples are reasonably accurate (± 1°C), they are robust, and they offer a very large sensing range (up to 2000°C). The voltage generated by thermocouples is very small, typically around 40 μV/°C, and needs to be amplified into a usable voltage range. Sometimes, cold junction compensation is used in the amplification circuit to improve accuracy. This is done because thermocouples measure the temperature difference between the hot side and the cold side, and not the absolute temperature. Therefore, a separate sensor (e.g. a thermistor) can be used to measure the cold side temperature. Finally, many different types of thermocouple probes exist, each offering a different measurement range and resolution. The thermocouple type is denoted by a letter and corresponds with different metal pairs being used. One of the most common types is the type K thermocouple (chromel–alumel), offering a measurement range of -200°C to +1350°C.
A final option is to use a integrated temperature sensor chip, such as the MCP9808 or the DS18B20. These sensors rely on the silicon bandgap to measure temperature. A silicon bandgap circuit can be included in an integrated circuit at very low cost. For this reason, these temperature sensors are often included in microcontrollers and CPUs for over-temperature protection. Of course, stand-alone chips are also readily available. They are precise (± 0.5 °C to ± 0.25 °C) and easy to use, but offer only a limited measurement range. This type of temperature sensor is generally limited to a maximum temperature of 100°C due to the physical construction of the chip package.
Air humidity sensors are less common than light/temperature sensors, and are often used for specialized applications such as weather stations. Still, many types of humidity sensors are available in ready-to-use chip packages. Different sensing principles can be used to measure humidity, though capacitive sensing is the most common one. Capacitive humidity sensors use an open air capacitor to measure humidity. This works because the moisture content of the air influences the capacitance value of the capacitor. Humidity sensors measure the relative air humidity. Often, a temperature sensor is included in the same package so as to be able to calculate the absolute humidity (e.g. DHT22 or SHT31-D). It is also not uncommon for the same sensor package to include a pressure sensor (e.g. BME280), thus offering a complete sensing solution for atmospheric conditions.

Since starting grad school I have fallen seriously out of practice with recreational reading. So out of practice that recently for a “light read” I picked up Albert Camus’ The Plague – an existential novel about a town quarantined due to the plague which serves as an allegory for all of life in the shadow of the certain death we all face. Yup. That’s some light reading right there.
It’s not like I have a bunch of fiction sitting on my “to-read” pile right now either. I stopped purchasing reading material some time ago in deference to the public library (cheaper! awesome selection! less wasteful!) – but school keeps getting in the way and, I have returned almost all my “fun” reading to the library on its return date, unread.
Wild, Cheryl Strayed (I started this Thursday and am loving it).
This list alone is one of the reasons I am glad not to be entering into sixty-hour weeks in 2014! The best thing about lapsing on the reading front is that now there are so many great books waiting for me. So although it is too early for new year’s resolutions – this list stands as some kind of commitment to myself, and my need for good literature in my life always.
← On working and/or making a life.

Just finished The Orenda – intense and bloody and controversial. More than usual for Joseph Boy den.

In accordance with the current data, Ukrgasvydobuvannya’s production volume in January-November 2018 reached 14.107 billion cubic meters of natural gas, which allowed covering production decrease of approx. 880 million cubic meters and exceeding the indicator for the same period of the previous year by 171 million cubic meters.
In November, Ukrgasvydobuvannya increased the average production per day up to 43.7 million cubic meters, that is almost 1.2 million cubic meters more than the actual performance for the same period in 2017.
This result was achieved due to maximization of efforts in all operation areas, in particular, by increasing the number of activities in production stimulation up to 661, the extra production volume of which is 924.4 million cubic meters. In addition, since the beginning of this year, 91 wells have been drilled and 62 new wells have been put into operation.
Ukrgasvydobuvannya effectively use the available hydrocarbon resource portfolio, but the majority of fields which produce 95 % of gas, are exhausted by 87 %.
However, in order to implement the Program 20/20 and to gain energy independence, the issue of development of new resource portfolio should be resolved in the near future.
Over the past three years, UGV obtained only 13 new special permits in 2016, 4 – in 2017 and 1 special permit was obtained by UGV as a winner of the open auction held in 2018. Such dynamics of obtaining permits for new areas does not allow significantly increasing gas production. To achieve production volume of 20 billion cubic meters, UGV would have to obtain approx. 20 special permits for new subsoil areas every year since 2016.

Running a small business at the very best of times is a rollercoaster. It’s a challenging combination of highs and lows. When we are faced with the pressures of keeping a small business going, nobody tells us that it can actually impact our mental health.
There is a blurring of boundaries between our personal and business lives as we end up being Chief of everything. We have unpredictable incomes, fear or failure, imposter syndrome and working in isolation, just for starters.
As a business owner, it’s important we recognise the triggers. Running a small business can and does impact our mental health. A strong mindset is just as important as all the other factors of running a business.
Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay2018. Here are some top tips on how a small business owner can look after their mental health without sacrificing the performance of their business.
The Business Girls Network is a special group of Female Entrepreneurs who are looking for guidance and support whilst building their business.
It’s absolutely no secret that the state of your health whether it’s physically or mentally will impact your ability to manage your business. Eating a balanced and nutritious diet and drinking two litres of water a day will absolutely help. Sounds simple. Not easy when you are juggling umpteen balls. It’s very easy to fall of this particular wagon. Eating well and developing good sleeping habits will massively increase your ability to manage the day to day pressures of running your business, alongside managing life and children and all that comes with this.
The boundaries between home and work do get blurred. Some days there are simply not enough hours in the day to do everything so we end up like a hamster on a wheel and it can feel like a never ending and relentless cycle. Sound familiar?
Not everybody has marketing, sales, admin, financial, business development, social media skills and so the list goes on and on. If we don’t have all the skills we need and let’s face it, none of us do, every part of trying to fathom our way through each part a business requires, can be a potential stress point. Often keeping us working late at night. Research shows that small business owners are constantly jeopardising their mental and physical health by putting in long hours. Hands up who’s guilty of this one?
What’s important is to set boundaries to help us maintain our energy and passion. Sometimes, the passion disappears. This is usually because we are tired and overwhelmed. Are there things you really have to do? Write a to-do list. Prioritise. Focus on one thing and do it well. You end up being master of all trades and jack of none. Remove yourself from your business for an afternoon, a day, a week, a month. Get some clarity. Recharge. Often when you do this, things become clear and your passion returns.
Mental health issues are common in small business owners. Being part of a network like The Business Girls Network will help to build some support. In our community we are sharing and caring. We empower, support, motivate and connect women together for the greater good. We don’t restrict business types because we believe in collaboration and not competition. We believe in working with our competitors, not against them.
Being part of a community can help with the daily challenges you are facing and bring ideas or provide a solution to a problem. No question in our groups are too small or silly. There is a collective wealth of expertise and knowledge by women from every background, type of business and at every phase of business. This means there is always somebody who can help.
Putting in the leg work to automate as much of your business as you can reduces the day to day stress that comes with running your business. It does relieve you of time-consuming, repetitive and let’s face it boring tasks. Set up automated emails using an email platform like Mailchimp. Streamline your financial processes. Use social media schedulers like buffer and hoot suite. Spend a day or two a month scheduling all of your content. It will make a difference. It will give you more hours to focus on developing your business. There are lots and lots of simple, free and easy to use automation tools available to a small business.
We need a collective effort to shift attitudes when it comes to mental health. The more we talk about it, the more we accept conversations, the easier it is for individuals to speak up and ask for help. If you see someone in your network who is suffering, reach out to them, check in with them regularly to make sure you are ok.
Come and join the conversation over in our FREE Facebook community happening today. This is such an important topic and we must keep starting these conversations.
