Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the use of polyurethane foam disk passive air samplers (PUF PAS) for better measurement of atmospheric polychlorinared dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs) concentrations compared to PUF PAS combined with high volume air samplers (HVS). Methods: Air samples were collected by a low volume air sampler (LVS) and PUF PAS. A total of two pairs were continuously collected for six months, but the PUF was replaced every two months. Results: A good correlation was shown ($R^2=0.8595$, p<0.0001) between atmospheric PCDD/Fs concentration measured by the LVS and PUF PAS. The average air sampling rate ($1.5m^3/day-sampler$) of all PCDD/Fs congeners showed a middle of the means which were measured using a HVS by other researchers in different cities. In addition, the air sampling rates of the LVS for each congener made less difference than did those of the HVS. Conclusion: It was found that measurements using the LVS were less influenced by atmospheric peak PCDD/Fs concentrations. However, trace POPs such as PCDD/Fs may involve relatively large analytical errors in measurement, and as a result the air sampling rate of the respective PCDD/Fs isomer is also likely to involve errors. The method of using a regression straight line between the concentrations obtained from the LVS and those from the PUF PAS was judged higher than the method using the air sampling rate, since the former compensated for the experimental errors in the process of evaluation of atmospheric PCDD/F concentrations using the PUF PAS.

Get answers to some of the most commonly asked questions we get asked at North Coast Family Medical Group.
Single complaints are generally 10-15 minutes; and multiple complaints or complex problems are 20-30 minutes. Physicals generally take 30-45 minutes. However, some seemingly simple appointments turn out to be more complex. We will do our best to have you in & out of your appointment and make sure all your needs are met! To help keep the medical providers on track, please be up front with our schedulers about your need for an appointment so we can allot an appropriate amount of time. Don’t be embarrassed! We need to know how to best help you!
What kind of an appointment do I need?
Patients sometimes feel like a physical is the best way for a medical provider to examine all the concerns that they are experiencing; however, physicals help to identify new concerns and follow up visits usually will directly address the issues. Patients with urgent non-life threatening medical need should contact us first to determine whether we are equipped and available to help in the time frame needed or a visit to the emergency room might be required. We have weekday evening hours to help meet our patients’ needs.
What is a P.A. (Physician Assistant) and what can she/he do for me?
Our Physician Assistants are a valuable resource for our patients. Please go to our Physician Assistant page for more information about them.
Why do I have to update my information and show my insurance card every time I come in?
We find that patients’ personal and insurance information is changing all the time. We do our best to ensure that we have current contact and billing information so we can reach you and make every attempt to bill your insurance. Insurance companies often change addresses and policy numbers so we must check often for those changes. Paperwork should only be required at the first visit and at yearly intervals.
If you feel like it would be inappropriate for your children to stay in the room while you are being examined, please find childcare for them. Our office personnel are not available to watch children and their safety could be compromised without proper supervision.
We will attempt to see patients in many circumstances, but our general office policy is that patients who are late for their scheduled appointments may need to reschedule or wait until the next available appointment time. Your medical provider’s medical assistant can assess your urgency to be sure your medical needs are not delayed.
Will I get in for my appointment on time?
We do our best to allot the appropriate amount of time for each patient’s appointment; however, some appointments are more complex than anticipated or some new problems are brought up at the time of the appointment. Sometimes the new problem must be addressed at that time. This may cause the provider to run behind, but we make every attempt to stay as close to our schedules as possible. If at all possible we prefer that you wait in our office for your appointment because the provider may catch up very quickly if someone does not show for their appointment or something is more simple that expected. To help keep the medical providers on track, please be up front with our schedulers about your need for an appointment so we can allot an appropriate amount of time. If your schedule is very time restricted, an appointment at the beginning of the day or immediately following a break might work best to stay on time.
Will there be a charge if I cancel or miss a scheduled appointment?
A 24 hour advanced notice is required if you must cancel or change your appointment. Our scheduling department is available daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM to help schedule a convenient appointment for you, please press option #4 when calling the office. In case of a last minute schedule conflict that results in you having to cancel an appointment scheduled for the following day, our office can be reached from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM during urgent care hours and we have a voice mailbox available 24/7 to take any cancellation notices.
If a scheduled appointment is missed without giving a 24 hour advanced notice, there is a $25.00 charge applied to your account. Please note that excessive missed appointments may be grounds for disengagement from the practice.
Our policies are created to allow for more effective scheduling and to ensure all patients wishing to be seen may be accommodated. Please help us better serve you by notifying us as soon as possible if you must change or cancel your appointment.
Can I see another doctor besides my Primary Care Physician (PCP)?
Yes, you may see other physicians in our office under most circumstances. The physicians prefer to see only their own primary care patients or for their patients to see our physician assistants, for continuity of care purposes, for wellness exams. Rarely insurance issues may dictate that a provider might not be appropriate for you to see.
Can I get my lab work prior to my appointment?
Some medical providers will order lab work prior to appointments; however, you might want to wait until the visit in case the medical provider feels like another test is appropriate after examining you.
Can my older child come for an appointment without an adult?
a parent/guardian with a form consenting treatment. If you intend to do this, please download this form and send it with your child.
Please consider that our medical providers must assess whether it is medically appropriate to treat the minor patient considering the situation. If it is medically inappropriate to treat the minor without a parent or guardian present, then the patient may need to be rescheduled regardless of the consent form.
Can I just get a referral without a visit at my primary doctor?
Some types of appointment can be done via self-referral or we may give a referral without a visit. Women may self-refer to an OB/GYN. For established patients, you may leave a message with us to get a referral for a urologist for a vasectomy. If specific concerns are involved, though, a visit to one of our medical providers will be required. Please see our Insurance Information page for more information about referrals.
How often should my family and I get physicals?
Children have a set schedule of physicals recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. You can view this at AAP Preventative Healthcare Schedule.
Adults should have regular wellness exams as well. Your physician will be able to guide you in the frequency of these periodic health exams. For more information about preventative health services, you may visit the American Academy of Family Physicians page at AAFP Preventative Healthcare.
What immunizations do my family and I need?
The bulk of immunizations that you need will be given to you as a child at your wellness exams. To see a list of immunizations recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and other immunization resources, you can go to AAP Pediatric Immunization Schedules.
Adults need some booster immunizations or may have missed some childhood immunizations. Our office recommends tetnus shots done at 10-year intervals throughout life. You as an adult may need other immunizations such as Hepatitis A or B, Boostrix, influenza shots, or HPV injections as well. Please check with your provider to see what might be needed for you depending on your history and age group.
Travel immunizations are sometimes required for travel abroad. These are rarely covered by insurance. Please check with your insurance to see what they will cover. To check to see what travel immunizations might be needed for your area of travel, you may contact our office for a recommendation to a travel clinic.

Having a credit card can be a sign of having good credit. However, there are some instances when someone with bad credit (or bad debt) can qualify for a credit card. There are a few variations to the type of credit cards people with bad debt can qualify for. While some can qualify for a regular credit card with high rates, others might need to put a deposit down to open one. Bad debt can often lead to bad credit, which can limit borrowing options. Even so, there are ways to receive a bad debt credit card to help in times of need. Here we will discuss a couple.
There are two main bad debt credit card types that exist. One is the high interest credit card. If you have poor credit or a massive amount of debt, lenders might see you as a risk. However, instead of disqualifying you for a credit card, you might be able to get a card with a higher than normal interest rate. Those with worse credit receive higher interest rates because they might not be able to pay. A higher interest rate on a bad debt credit card can be seen as extra incentive to make on time payments. However, there are some instances in which a bad debt credit card with high interest rates can be detrimental. The main issue would arise if there were payments missed or the card wasn’t used responsibly. This could lead to a greater amount of debt accumulation and a worsening of your financial standing.
The other type of bad debt credit card is a secured credit card. These credit cards require you to make a deposit in order to complete the application process. Depending on your credit, you might have an option in how much of a deposit you make. Generally, the amount of the deposit equates to the amount you can borrow. In this way, a secured credit card is similar to a debit card. You deposit money to start and you can only use that amount. The big difference is that your credit card usage is reported to major credit bureaus. Responsible use of a bad debt credit card can improve your overall credit rating, so wise use is encouraged.
Even though the previously mentioned cards can benefit those with exorbitant amounts of debt or poor credit, there are times when even these cards are out of reach. Should this be the case, bad debt credit card alternatives are available. Not unlike credit cards, high interest loans can be used for the same purposes. The interest rates might be slightly higher with loans because of their nonrenewable nature. This can help establish good payment patterns, but can also cause financial trouble if used irresponsibly.
Another alternative to a bad debt credit card is to rid yourself of debt beforehand. If you have large amounts of debt, your credit will be affected. Lowering the amount of debt you have will increase your credit rating. If you find yourself unable to qualify for traditional credit products, consider debt elimination first. Debt settlement, credit counseling and even bankruptcy might be able to help. Know your financial ability and make educated decisions about your finances and you might even be able to avoid these bad debt related products altogether.

A nice little video by Oli taking the Cube Stereo demo bike out for a test ride. Edgeworth does his best to take on 2 trees but unfortunately (and quite predictably) comes off worse.
Give us a call if you want to test the bike out for yourselves.

Hi Everyone! I had to share a love note during our Sending Love Suite Theme Week! These were our Make N Takes at OnStage last fall. OnStage is for all demonstrators to gather to network, swap and see sneak peeks of upcoming catalogs and products! In fact, a few teammates and I are getting ready to register for the NEXT OnStage in April!
The card bases are made from a 3" x 6" Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack. The paper in the stack is 6×6 so 1/2 sheet. Take a 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" Whisper White to layer.
For the next love note – I wanted you to see how I put the bows on – with a glue dot! Makes attaching them a breeze!
Hi Everyone! Today's Sending Love theme uses the Sealed with Love bundle to create a heart tag with probably the tiniest love note I'll ever use tucked inside. The die cuts and scores the square envelope but when turned, you can make a heart envelope! I love having Stampin' UP! cellophane bags of all sizes on how so I can make a quick treat or package.
General Instructions: Die cut envelope with Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper. Stamp Love image and die cut note. Bring ends together to form heart and attach with glue dot. With 1/8" Handheld Circle punch, punch hole at top of heart. Insert 5 Dove candies into a 2" Cello Bag. Tie bag with Melon Mambo Thick Bakers Twine. Add heart tag. Here's a video tutorial on how to make!
Hi Everyone! Here's a Valentine's Treat Holder that is interactive. When you pull up on the ribbon, it also pulls up the treat inside! The fun pack of M & M's were used. The paper is from the upcoming Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack available January 4th.
You can also use this design to include a note…it's no calorie that way! Video uploading this am and will be posted here soon! UPDATE – See tutorial below!
4" x 6" Designer Paper scored along the 6" side at 1/2"
Fold the 1/2" score inward to form tab. Apply Tear & Tape adhesive. Apply Tear & Tape along the bottom. Bring 4" sides together first, then join the bottom sides to form pocket. Punch 1/4" hole using a standard hole punch towards the top the holder. Thread ribbon. Insert Fun Size candy. Use Thick Bakers Twine to tie ribbon ends together. Decorate front of treat holder.
Hi Everyone! Happy New Year!!! I hope 2016 was good for you and much happiness in 2017!
Here's a card I modeled after the sample in the 2017 Occasions Catalog using the Sealed with Love Bundle. How AWESOME is the right edge? The Love Notes Edgelit Dies include the edge die that creates a heart cut out edge. It's available January 4th when the Catalog and Sale-a-Bration starts!
General Instructions: With Pool Party cardstock, die cut right side of card front with heart edgelit. With Pool Party Classic Ink, stamp background. With Stitched Framelits, die cut oval. With Real Red Classic Ink stamp sentiment. Die cut heart and arrow images with Goil Foil Sheets and Real Red Glimmer Paper. Layer images on card front. Add 1/2" x 5-1/2" Real Red Glimmer Paper to front end and inside card as shown to pop the heart accents made with the die. With Gold Wink of Stella..flick gold specks on card front.
You can purchase the dies and stamp set separately. The Bundle saves you 10%.
Hi Everyone! Local Designer Paper Dolls met Saturday for Fun, Food, and stampin' Fellowship. Our January swap them was Love – but it didn't necessarily have to be Valentine's. Above is Summer Moser's and Nancy Taylor's swaps cards.
Summer used Timeless Elegance Designer Paper and sponged with Real Red Classic Ink the rose image. Die cut LOVE with Gold Glimmer Paper overlay make for a sophisticated Valentine's Card.
Nancy make a Friendship Love card – I think Valentine's Day is a great time to let our friends and besties know that we love them and how much they mean to us! What I wanted to share about Nancy's is that little punch heart accent found on the inside. Such a cute detail! While she used a non-Stampin' UP! punch for hers, we tested the heart in the Owl Builder Punch and it worked great!
Next post will have Davette's and my swap.

I think I will be stopping my baking for the time being. How sad. But there is good reason.
Not sure if you know the news, there is a big milk brand from China, which made big news these days because they added melamine to their milk and milk products. Just google and you will find it. This chemical is used to make plastic, and has killed 4 infants in China, making 6200 others sick. It is added to the milk and milk products to give the appearance of higher protein levels. This chemical can cause kidney disease, bladder stones, and cancer.
Starbucks in China has stopped selling milk and milk-based items in China. Being in Asia, Singapore is not spared from these too. It is a good thing that the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) of Singapore has conducted some tests on some products and promptly pulled them off the shelves. These are popular brands we are talking about - Meiji, Dutch Lady, Wall's ice cream etc. Though not the whole product range is affected, I will be avoiding these brands. These brands are not from Sanlu directly, but they contain milk from Sanlu. I usually use Meiji milk for my baking, though it is not mentioned that this particular milk is affected, I will not be taking any chances.
In today's papers, there is also mention that butter from Phoon Huat ( a local baking supplies shop) is affected. I buy butter from this shop, but the brand is Gold Tree and it states "Made in Australia". I just bought 3 blocks the other day, I better check first.
Throwing unused milk, butter etc and wasting the money is not an issue in exchange for our health. What disgusts me totally is the ethics of these people. There has been too many past incidents about tainted, contaminated food which are sold to the general public and I deeply suspect whether these people are humane. They can actually add inedible substances just to make profits???? And what is worse in this case now is that the contaminated milk has been brought up by some New Zealander authorities back in July. But it was covered up and no action was taken.
I have not been to China, and I have no intention to make a trip there without a need to. Ok, you can say that I am extreme, or biased. I agree that while there are many things in China worth visiting, or that the majority of the people are not unscrupulous, they do not get my trust with incidents like this occurring every now and then. Worse, with globalisation and China emerging rapidly in the manufacturing sectors, it is hard to have products which do not contain something from China. Even though I usually try to buy items from the more popular or renowned brands (and avoid China made products) , but how do I know the sources of their ingredients? Seems like we have to turn to organic products?
It is sad isn't it? What has human beings turn into? I cannot even imagine how one can bring himself to perform the action of doing something, knowing well that it can cause fatality. It's like serving poison to your friends, your neighbours, your country folks. I studied psychology back in Uni, but I can never comprehend how these people think.
On a lighter note, it's great that I have completed the Sweet and Simple Bakes this month, otherwise I would not be able to make it!
Gosh how worrying and what a shame you can't do any baking! Hey I glad you were able to make your Vanilla Apple Cake for this month's bake, looking forward to seeing your cake on the 1st October.
ya, it's a shame that many products might be affected. I feel so sorry for the children who have fallen sick because of the tainted milk.
Oh what a worry for you and everyone! On the BBC news here in England it was saying about baby milk being affected - its shocking!!
I bought "Gold Tree" brand of butter from Phoon Huat too, is it affected?
I called up Phoon Huat to clarify about the newspaper report, but they said their butter is from Australia. But I still see it being sold and people are still buying too.
Perhaps if it is not being recalled in the next few weeks (I assume AVA is could be testing it in recent weeks), then it should be ok?
Thanks for your reply, other than butter, I'm also checking my milk choc.chips and I've stop baking my oreo muffins for the meanwhile ( due to the recent confusion ). I think its better to wait till AVA to sort out a list of what is safe and what's not.

As Technical Service Provider for the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline, E.ON Technologies GmbH uses GEONIS for both the documentation of the as-built asset situation, as well as the planning of new pipeline build sections.
GEONIS creates Alignment Sheets, greatly supporting the individual build-phases. The general availability of all relevant data on geographical conditions on-site provides the basis for effort cost calculations and acquisition of the required build materials.
In addition to depicting the route of the pipeline and its elevation profile, the Alignment Sheets provide further information about land-use, protected areas, planned technical installations, crossings (intersections of the pipeline with other objects), parcel information and more. GEONIS manages the preparation and presentation of this information, which is extracted from a complex data model.
The availability of relevant planning information for the build project, such as class locations, revision numbers and automatic tagging underscores the value of GEONIS as a planning instrument and shows once more that the application of the system goes well beyond classic network documentation requirements.

Scottish further education college lecturers have scored a stunning victory in their battle for national bargaining and equal pay.
Bosses have crumbled after just a single day's strike. In the early hours of this morning, Saturday, 13 hours of talks ended with a three-year deal to be recommended by the EIS-Fela union's negotiating team.
A vote is still to take place on the deal, but it means by April 2019 lecturers in Scotland will get the same pay scale at every college. For the lowest paid it means a whopping 33 percent pay rise.
Focusing the campaign on the Scottish National Party (SNP) government has paid dividends. Workers have won a speedy victory by calling out the SNP ahead of the official start of the Scottish elections on Wednesday of next week, coupled with a strategy of escalating strikes.
Up to 5,000 lecturers staged a solid strike last Thursday. More than 350 then lobbied the Scottish parliament the same day. Chants of "Nicola Sturgeon here us say, all we want is equal pay" could be heard in the chamber and frightened the SNP leader into finally taking action.
Bosses at three Glasgow colleges had refused to sign up to national bargaining. They were they first to cave in. Then it was the turn of Colleges Scotland to crumble. The bosses' organisation had continually argued there was no money to meet the lecturers' demands.
Facing the prospect of every non-SNP Holyrood election candidate having a stick to beat them with, Sturgeon and Co suddenly found a pot of cash.
And Sturgeon was nervous. Roslina Asif and her sister Maria raised the issue of equal pay for lecturers with Nicola Sturgeon when they met with her at the Scottish parliament on Thursday. They are both students at FE colleges in Glasgow who support the lecturers. They told Socialist Worker that a rattled Sturgeon claimed she would "solve this once and for all".
Staged payments over the next three years will harmonise pay. And there is a commitment to also agree harmonised terms and conditions based on best practice by autumn this year.
Even the imposed 1 percent pay deal for 2015/2016 - allegedly just an "interim payment" - is to be topped up with an extra £100 for everyone. For 2016/2017 a further £450 rise will go to every college lecturer.
No pay will be docked for last Thursday's strike and lecturers are to be paid for extra classes to help their students catch up with any work missed during the strike.
It's a resounding victory—and the news of it needs to be spread far and wide.
Penny Gower, EIS-Fela branch secretary at Edinburgh College, spoke to Socialist Worker. She said, "This has taught a whole new layer of young FE lecturers that united strikes can win.
New College Lanarkshire EIS-Fela rep Angela McCormick agreed. She said, "Our staff are not near the lowest rate but the pickets were big on Thursday. And contrary to certain stereotypes it was the lecturers from hairdressing, beauty and make-up courses that were the stand out activists during the strike.
"You might think that this was a speedy victory, and it was, but it's been a long time coming. We put further education at the heart of the political debate in Scotland."
This success will be a boost to workers everywhere fighting austerity and to defend education and other public services.

Our pediatrician was out of town for a while, so we just got Malcolm in for his year visit earlier this week, at almost 13 months. His infection from the previous week is pretty much gone, and he is feeling better after having a fever for much of last week as well, though he's still quite congested. The doctor did check out his chest, but said his lungs sounded clear so the congestion is respiratory even though it may not sound like it is and we just have to wait for it to go away. I've been waiting for almost two months now for that to happen, so hopefully it will actually happen at some point.
Because he'd been so sick the previous week, I asked to make a separate, later appointment for his immunizations. I remember that Gareth was pretty miserable after the MMR shot and I really couldn't deal with that again after having just made it through all the sickness of the previous week. So, we'll head back in next week for those.
Malcolm's apparently grown quite a lot in the last few months, and is now 30 inches. This puts him in the 50%, but since he was measured at 13 months, and I'd guess that's a 12 month average, the percentiles are probably a bit skewed this month. He weighed in at 18 pounds, 9 ounces, still in the 10% and had a head circumference of 47.25, which is in the 75%.
He still isn't walking, but he's getting there. He finally started cruising occasionally a few days ago, so maybe in a couple months he'll decide that walking could be fun. Gareth was so interested in doing all those "grown up" things, but Malcolm seems much less so. He's waved a couple of times, but seems to have forgotten how to do this. But he definitely has figured out clapping, which is always a fun stage.

Is it time to turn down the volume?
In a world full of noise it can be easy to get caught in the trap of thinking that your level of impact equates to how much you talk.
There’s a clear difference between using your voice to stand for something and share your ideas, to talking for the sake of filling space or hearing the sound of your own voice.
It can be likened to the difference between generosity and selfishness. A person who is generous shares their ideas and thoughts and makes space for the words of others. While a person who is selfish focuses purely on what they need from a conversation.
It’s also about getting comfortable with silence and understanding its many uses, as well as its strengths and weaknesses.
Leaders who have presence know the right moment to talk and the right time to hold silence. They recognise that silence is powerful.
For example, a perfectly timed paused can be used to emphasise a point as it gives people time to take in what has been said. You’ll often see speakers use this technique to great effect. They are holding the space and giving the audience time to reflect.
It can also be used to create tension in the conversation, which is particularly effective when negotiating.
Many people are uncomfortable with silence. If there’s a lull in the conversation they think they need to close the gap with a comment or question. By continuing to talk they reduce the impact of their words – eventually talking the offer they proposed down.
On the flip-side, when silence is used with the wrong intent it leads to poor outcomes.
This approach doesn’t help build long term, mutually sustaining relationships as it blocks communication.
It’s also not useful if a person feels like they are being silenced. That is, they are being prevented in some way from putting forward their views and feelings.
If staying silent results in you agreeing to things you don’t want to do or don’t believe in it doesn’t make for a happy and fulfilled life.
Similarly, when you stop putting forward your views for fear of recrimination or ridicule it can have a huge impact on your self-esteem and confidence, as you feel disempowered. Neither situation is a good outcome.
So using silence isn’t about not speaking up and turning the volume off. Rather, it’s about being conscious of the most effective way to speak so you are most likely to have a positive impact on those around you.
Change happens. Make it work for you.

If you’re going away with family and friends, try taking a few of these with you to cover all occasions and please all kinds of palates.
This is the new name and packaging for what was previously the Vastrap. It’s lost the name and lost the Semillon and Riesling components as well – and that’s just fine with me, cos it’s perfectly tasty and lovely on its own. Packed with soft stone fruit flavours and with a crisp, fresh acidity, this is a crowd-pleaser of note and should go well with almost any food. There are pink and red versions as well – give them a go!
Although it sounds like something living in the ocean, probably with sharp teeth, a Cape White blend is becoming increasingly-popular and rightly so. They’re usually based on good, old-vine Chenin – as is this – and often combine varieties such as Chardonnay and Viognier – as does this. But because Bosman has a huge range of grapes to choose from, it also includes Grenache Blanc, Pinot Gris and Semillon making for a truly individual, really tasty wine. Excellent with food, majestic on its own and always one of my favourite wines to drink and enjoy.
Jenn Sanasie and I recently reviewed the white version of this wine on one of our Wine Wednesday videos - check it out here - and I kicked myself at the time for not asking for a bottle of the red to try as well. No matter – they sent me one anyway and what a pleasure it is! Mainly Merlot with Cab and Shiraz, it’s a fruity, spicy, soft, juicy lekker wine just to chug down with friends.
Originally this wine was a Cabernet/Cinsaut blend as were so many in the Cape (whether declared or not) but nowadays, the Cabernet is livened up with a dash of Shiraz to make for a rich and satisfying wine. It’s been in quite a lot of oak but handles it well and if you wanted to leave it in the bottle for a bit longer, you probably could. But right now, it’s packed with black fruit making for a really attractive mouthful. I’d drink it now if I were you.
I don’t mean to sound bolshy, but if you like port, don’t have huge cellaring capacity and only drink vintage stuff – you’re missing such a big trick, it’s not funny. Cape Vintage really should be left well-alone until it’s at least a decade old so until that time, drink ruby. It’s amazing value, highly-underrated and utterly, utterly delicious. Packed with red and black berries, spice and orange peel, this is a lovely way to keep warm this weekend.
If you’re going to do grappa, then do it properly – especially now that, like port, we can’t call the husk spirit which we distil in this country, grappa. Head for Italy for the proper stuff and this is about as good as you can get. Made in the Bottega family distillery in the Veneto in the north-east of Italy, Alexander Grappa is one of their flagship spirits. From the skins and stalks of Pinot Grigio and Glera grapes, it’s light, flowery and very refreshing at the end of a long meal.

Updated Bing — with more social search — now available to everyone in U.S.
Last month, Microsoft announced it was making its most significant overhaul of Bing since its launch three years ago, unveiling a three-column search results page that can incorporate activities from a user’s social networks including Facebook and Twitter.
Today, that three-column design becomes available to everyone in the U.S. at www.bing.com.
In the new design, the column on the left displays standard search results.
The middle column — which Microsoft refers to as “snapshot” — displays tasks or possible actions associated with the search (for instance, pulling up a map and reviews of a restaurant or the option to make a restaurant reservation if you searched for local restaurants).
The column on the right — which Microsoft calls the “sidebar” — shows actions your friends have taken related to the topic you queried: liking a particular restaurant, for instance, or offering an opinion on best restaurants in the city. And users can post questions and friends can respond from either Facebook or Bing. The sidebar will also list experts and enthusiasts in areas related to the search topic.
Microsoft is launching an ad campaign to tout the new social features as well as its tagline that Bing is for “doing” rather than for just searching for information.
As part of that marketing campaign, the company is also launching the “Bing Summer of Doing,” featuring daily searches designed to inspire people to do something in their communities, according to the official Bing blog.

The treatment of marijuana has changed a lot in recent years. Marijuana has been approved for medical use in Virginia and has even been legalized for recreational use in other states. However, the Commonwealth of Virginia still takes marijuana use seriously when it comes to driving. Driving under the influence of marijuana can result in criminal DUI charges, fines, loss of a driver's license, and possible jail time.
When the police pull over a vehicle and smell marijuana, the driver may be facing drug DUI charges in addition to possible drug possession charges. A DUI arrest does not mean you are guilty. If you are facing a marijuana DUI in Virginia, contact an experienced Charlottesville DUI defense lawyer as soon as possible.
This applies to marijuana, marijuana derivatives, and combinations of marijuana and other drugs or alcohol.
When charged with a marijuana DUI in Virginia, the prosecutor will attempt to prove all elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. This includes presenting evidence to show that the driver was impaired and the driver was under the influence of marijuana. Evidence in drug DUI cases generally relies on police reports, police testimony, and drug test results.
In 2018, the Virginia legislature voted to allow doctors in Virginia to recommend the use of cannabidiol (CBD) oil or THC-A oil for the treatment of diagnosed diseases or conditions. This does not technically legalize cannabis oil in Virginia but it provides an affirmative defense for individuals who are in possession of cannabis oil with a doctor's recommendation.
However, medical marijuana does not have any impact on Virginia's impaired driving laws. A driver can be arrested and charged with a drug DUI even if a doctor has recommended cannabis for the individual. Similarly, a driver can be charged for a drug DUI while taking prescription medication that was prescribed by a doctor.
The penalties for a marijuana DUI are basically the same as the consequences of any DUI. A driver faces the same criminal charges if he or she is driving impaired under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, narcotics, or over-the-counter medication.
Penalties for a marijuana DUI are generally based on the driver's criminal history, whether anyone was injured or killed, and if the individual refused to submit to a chemical test.
The penalties for a first marijuana DUI include the following.
Maximum fine of $2,500 and one year in jail.
Mandatory minimum fine of $250.
Twelve-month license suspension by the court.
License suspension for three years by DMV.
A third DUI within 10 years is a felony, with additional penalties to include the following.
Fine of from $1000 to $2,500.
Ninety-day mandatory minimum jail time.
Not eligible for restricted license.
License suspended indefinitely but may petition after five years.
May petition for restricted license three years after date of conviction. Limited to driving to and from work and in course of employment.
One of the most difficult penalties of a marijuana DUI involves the loss of the individual's driving privileges. A first-time DUI can lead to a suspended license for a year. However, the driver may petition for a restricted license that allows for limited driving, including to and from work or school.
A marijuana DUI generally results in a search of the driver and the driver's vehicle. If the individual has marijuana or marijuana paraphernalia, he or she may also face criminal drug charges.
Marijuana possession charges can be a misdemeanor. However, if there is a large enough amount or there is other evidence of sales, the individual may face more serious charges of marijuana trafficking or drug possession with intent to sell.
Drivers arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of marijuana are required to submit a blood test sample. The blood test will check for the presence of marijuana (or other drugs) in the driver's system. The blood test results can be used as evidence in a criminal DUI trial to show the driver was under the influence of marijuana at the time of arrest.
Refusing a blood test after arrest can result in a mandatory license suspension. Refusing a chemical test carries a mandatory one-year license suspension. Additionally, after refusing a chemical test, the driver is not eligible for a restricted driver's license in Virginia.
Using marijuana can lead to an impaired driving arrest long after the effects of the drug have worn off. A marijuana DUI can also include charges for drug possession, increasing the penalties and consequences. Before pleading guilty to a drug DUI in Virginia, make sure you understand how DUI defenses can help you fight criminal charges.
If you were arrested for a drug DUI in Charlottesville or Albemarle County, talk to an experienced DUI defense attorney about how to fight criminal charges. Contact me today for a free consultation.

Flyboys are the genuine story of youthful American aviators shot down over Chichi Jima. 8 of them were caught by Japanese troops and taken inmate. Another was rescued by an American submarine and went out come to be president. The truth of what happened to the 8 inmates has remained a mystery for right around 60 years. Following the war, the Japanese and American leaderships united to conceal the stunning truth. Not even the relatives of the pilots were cognizant what had occurred to their children.
It’s an investigation of the specific social and societal problems that grasped Japan and encouraged an interestingly black "Warrior Spirit" and made the Pacific war especially gory and severe.
It’s a depiction of how, after World War I, American inventive anticipated that the following war would be to a great extent an air war – whosoever delimited the skies would without a doubt triumph.
It’s about the unique way of those American adolescents who took to the skies in military aircraft and bombers and turned into our Flyboys.
It tells the stunning, genuine, as of late unrevealed record of 8 American Navy and Marine flyboys who were shells down over a Japanese-held island named Chichi Jima and what transpired when they had the incident to be taken as inmates.
Flyboys: Those American young men who took to the air.
The youthful American men who got to be World War II Flyboys originated from different families. All were unified in their wish to retaliate for the shock of Pearl Harbor, and all saw verifiably that planes – and men to fly them – would be crucial to overcoming Japan. These Flyboys and their wish for planes embodied America's discerning, innovative way to deal with war.
Flyboys: The stunning truth of American Powers on Chichi Jima.
Bradley's depiction of what occurred to eight American Flyboys who were caught on Chichi Jima is a deplorable case of how Japan's profoundly imperfect "Spirit War" prompted untold human disaster on all sides.
Indeed, after the surge of war had determined, when extreme conquest for Japan was unavoidable, the Spirit Warriors demanded that their fighters delve in and deliver most extreme misfortunes on the foe. So when 8 Flyboys were shell down by Japanese antiaircraft batteries and taken inmate at Chichi Jima, their destiny was maybe an inescapable result. Yet, what happened to a large number of them after they were killed was genuinely stunning.
Finally, Flyboys is a demonstration of the one of a kind valor of America's pilots amid those black days.

He’s Messed Up! He’s Damaged Goods!
When those words are spoken, the mental picture that is conjured up repulses my mind.
No one treasures damaged goods.
No one puts damaged goods on display as a thing of beauty.
No one collects damaged goods as a hobby.
No one specifically goes shopping for damaged goods.
Damaged goods are almost always discarded and thrown away.
Their valuable is next to nothing.
The only future for damaged goods are in places like, Salvage Yards, Thrift Stores, City Dumps or maybe even a Yard Sale.
Granted, when I shop for new merchandise or articles of clothing, I never buy ‘seconds’ or ‘imperfects’ off the rack. I also ignore the container with the dent or major scratch sitting on the shelf. I look only for the perfect product.
And there, my Gentle Reader, is how we humans assign damaged goods to its inevitable doom.
Yet the Pastor part of me will never die. The part that always hopes against hope for a soul. That never wants to stop reaching for someone who has made the mistake of his or her life. If peradventure God will grant them repentance.
What do we do with people when they become damaged goods?
Do we finish them off?
Do we keep them at arm’s length?
Do we discount and destroy all the good they have accomplished?
Do we cut them off and never call them again?
We only want to use the scriptures about The Potter’s marred and broken vessel when it concerns and benefits us.
I’ve seen too many fail that were never seen again, but I’ve lived long enough to see some exceptions.
There is no such thing as a throw away soul!
It is possible that we are ‘done’ with some folks before God is.
We all have met too many that seem to delight, and get pleasure, in telling the news of other’s moral failures. Why?
Why would anyone delight in passing news like that along?
Whether the news is about a saint or a preacher, I don’t wish to receive it even if there are two or three witnesses. I don’t want it to be true.
People that enjoy hearing such things normally have bigger problems of their own.
My mind is repulsed by the news.
My gut sickens when I hear that someone I know has made a horrible mess of their life.
When you heard the news, what did you do?
Did you feel inward joy that a conservative brother messed up?
Did you drop to your knees and pray? If not, why not?
Did you weep tears for them? If not, why not?
David did. He wept for his enemy like he would have at his own Mother’s funeral. Psa. 35:14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
If it was your enemy did you rejoice?
If you did, I fear you’ve invited the displeasure of God upon yourself.
My Father warned me, when I was a young preacher, to never play Prosecuting Attorney or Private Investigator in the Kingdom of God.
I wish to add a third warning. Never be the Newspaper Publisher either.
Gal. 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Let me tell you a short and unknown Bible Story.
Israel had been held in captivity for 70 years. When they returned to their beloved city of Jerusalem, their hearts were crushed with despair. The walls had been broken down and most of the city burned. They had to rebuild the walls immediately. Nehemiah’s burden led the workers.
The enemies and critics of Israel watched and spouted their negative opinions.
All that was left for Israel to rebuild the glorious walls of Jerusalem were heaps of burnt stones. They dug in the rubbish looking for damaged goods that they could restore.
Even the enemy recognized their dilemma and the futility of the idea. Yet that is exactly what happened.
Workmen picked up the stones one by one. They no doubt did their best to wipe away the stains of fire and dirt. Maybe they even washed them. I don’t know. One by one they cleansed each stone and then applied new mortar and placed them into the wall. The wall of Jerusalem was repaired using damaged stones from rubbish piles.
When they finished rebuilding the walls, a God ‘thing’ happened. God made them all get so happy that the noise of their joy was heard a long ways away.
The walls of Jerusalem that still stand today, were rebuilt with damaged goods. Burnt stones from the rubbish heaps now fit perfectly in place in the wall. It looks beautiful.
When you look at the walls today and take pictures of its grandeur, do you ever stop and think, “That wall was built with damaged goods”?
Of that then do you think the Body of Christ is made up today? If you’re honest, you will have to say that God knows how to use, He knows where to put, and He knows how to restore damaged goods.
Does God ever use damaged goods again? Just ask Him.
« What Is It Like To Be Real?
Thank God He didn’t give up on me. I will never be worthy of what God done for me. Mercy is so wonderful. May I show mercy as I was shown and always remember what The Lord has done for me. Thank you for posting and causing me to take an extra moment to give praise.
Thank God He is our final judge & offers His wonderful mercy to us. Awesome blog – thank you!
Wow! Thank you for such an amazing reminder. You will never know how much I needed to read this today. God bless you for your sensitivity to the needs of others.
Thank you Bro. Ballestero….for painting a picture of God’s mercy & grace…which I am so undeserving of.
This article reminded me of Rev. Wesley Jackson. Alot of people gave up on him as damaged goods, but now God is using him as one of the greatest evangelists of his generation, and a great influence in my life as well. Thank God He saw not what we were, but what we could be!
Bro. Ballestero, last night I went to prayer meeting and wept because of a case I read about in our local news. Immorality is no respector of persons. Conservative/Liberal – it makes no difference without daily crucifying one’s flesh. Sometimes, ministry can get so busy being productive for Him that we fail to let Him be productive within us. God help us all and thank God for the story of David which gives hope that failure does not have to be fatal.
A great article Elder. The true essence of being a Christian. What else can we be but to have the nature of Christ. 40+ years of having truth I have discovered truth alone will not save, it takes manifesting the spirit of the truth Giver.

Asthma is a serious condition that all ages are constantly dealing with. In addition to going to the appropriate medical experts, always be aware of warning signs that show your symptoms may be worsening. This article provides several easy suggestions that can help you improve your symptoms from day to day and lower the likelihood of any sudden asthma attacks.
TIP! Never smoke around a child with asthma, or you could kill them! Secondhand smoke is a trigger for asthma attacks, not to mention the myriad of other diseases it can cause. Keep your child away from cigarette smoke and any other kind of fumes.
Do you know the type of asthma that you have?Being fully informed about the specific type of asthma condition can help you have is very important. People who suffer from exercise-induced asthma should consider carrying an inhaler in their bag. You can avoid a crisis by knowing and figuring out patterns of the symptoms you have.
Avoid those things that could trigger your asthma. For many, it may be related to allergies, can trigger their attacks. Others may have attacks when they participate in physical activity. Try to figure out what gets your asthma started so it can be avoided.
TIP! If you suffer from asthma, it is vital that you avoid smoking; if you do, you should quit. When smoke enters your lungs it cuts off your oxygen supply, and if you suffer from asthma it can make breathing extremely difficult, and result in an increased number of attacks.
Cigarette smoke will make your asthma do not mix. Avoid vapors and chemical fumes or vapors. This can trigger an unstoppable asthma attack you can’t stop. If you are around others who are smoking, get away from them immediately.
A leukotriene inhibitor can be helpful if you to deal with asthma. Leukotriene inhibitors work to prevent things called leukotrienes. Leukotrienes are inflammation-causing chemicals that cause the tracheal muscles to contract; having too many leukotrienes makes asthma attacks more likely.
TIP! If the room you are in appears to be dusty, refrain from turning on any fans. When you turn on the fans they will move the dust in the room around and this can trigger your asthma very easily.
Learn how to use your inhaler. The inhaler only beneficial if the medicine gets to your lungs. Spray the required dosage into your mouth as you inhale. You should hold your breath held for 10 seconds so the medicated mist is able to fill up your lungs.
These vitamins are thought to help improve lung function and keep symptoms of asthma under control. You can get these vitamins you need in food or supplements. These vitamins can also boost the immune system and help prevent asthma triggers.
TIP! If you suffer from asthma, and have many attacks that are related to your allergy symptoms, there is a medication that is injected and provides long term effects. Omalizumab can effectively control allergy symptoms you may be experiencing and can be suggested by your local allergist if it fits your needs.
Keep your home meticulously clean to reduce attack potential if there is an asthma sufferer living there, especially where the person who suffers from asthma sleeps. Food should be restricted to the kitchen, and cigarettes are best relegated to outdoor smoking areas.
TIP! Use the inhaler the right way. Discover a location that is peaceful, and ensure you follow all the instructions that are given by the manufacturer.
Asthma is no joke. Asthma attacks, in rare cases, can be fatal, so it is critical for you to do what you can to reduce chances for your asthma to spiral out of control. This can include keeping a rescue inhaler with you at all times and reducing the allergens and dust present in your home. Your asthma symptoms should be easier to control if you use the information that has been provided in the above article.

A Bettr Fitnss App - What the Tech?
I must have tried a hundred workout apps to help get in better shape. I wound up needing not only a workout app but I had to go in search of an app to help me eat better. After months of trying, I determined there were apps that do each job well but none that did them both.
Enter Strongr Fastr, a brand new fitness app for both iPhone and Android is as good as it gets when it comes to a total body fitness program.
Enter your height, weight and what you want to accomplish and the app will design a workout for you. Lose fat, trip up or build bulk, Strongr Fastr will create workouts specifically for those with access to a gym or who will do their workouts with bodyweight at home.
In addition to the workouts the app provides custom meal plans for what you want to accomplish. Working out to build bulk requires a significant amount of calories while losing fat means you’ll cut a lot of fat and sugar from your diet.
The meal plan includes recipes (and shopping lists for the pro version) while the workouts have instructional videos so you know if you’re doing it right.
There are some terrific apps for getting stronger, conditioning your body for distance running and swimming. There are also some terrific apps to help keep you on a good diet and lose weight. There are very few apps that can do both. Strongr Fastr is one of those apps.

I need to define RoadMap in my wizard application and don't see enough documentation available. The first question - is there a way to define on step click action, to use RoadMap interactively. For example, click on particular box will change the view by displaying more details about this step.
Another question how to define RoadMap step dynamically, the number of steps is not fixed, user will be able to add steps, delete, and so on.
You are right, it's there for about half a year. Sorry, my fault. But then I don't understand Tatyana's problem... Do you understand it?

Ken Marino has signed on to the fourth and final season of Eastbound and Down to play “Guy Young, a middle-aged athlete who’s still living the high life and partying it up every weekend.” Deadline reports that it’s a pretty big role; he’ll be appearing in every episode of the season. Tim Heidecker’s also on board, set to play the recurring character Gene, who’s “a vanilla guy in Kenny’s neighborhood. He has nothing in common with Kenny and lacks even a basic sense of humor.” So Ken Marino as a party animal and Tim Heidecker as a deadpan weirdo? Sounds about right.

A federal court has denied political asylum to a German family who fled that country to protect their right to home educate their children.
The Sixth U.S Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Uwe and Hannelore Romeike and their six children are not entitled to political asylum in the United States.
An immigration judge had ruled in 2010 that the Romeike family had met the requirements for political asylum. However, that decision was overturned by the Board of Immigration Appeals last year. A three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit has now affirmed that decision.
Federal law makes provision for political asylum for those who have a "well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a political group, or political opinion." The Sixth Circuit panel concluded that the experience of the German family did not fall within that definition.
Michael Farris, President of the Home School Legal Defense Association, disagrees. "Germany continues to persecute homeschoolers. America has room for this family and we will do everything we can to help them." HSLDA plans to appeal the decision.
"The Court ignored mountains of evidence that homeschoolers are harshly fined and that custody of their children is gravely threatened...This is what the Romeikes will suffer if they are sent back to Germany."
German law requires that students be instructed in the public education system to "counteract the development of religiously and philosophically motivated parallel societies."
The Romeikes were fined a total of $9000 for their failure to enroll their children in the public schools. German officials threatened to remove custody of their children if they refused to cooperate.
The Obama Administration's Justice Department opposed political asylum for the Romeike family, arguing that laws that prohibit home education do not violate basic human rights.
Legislation has been introduced in Congress that would have the effect of banning federal funding of most Christian adoption agencies.
A bill proposed by Congressman John Lewis and Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen would prohibit the allocation of federal funds to adoption agencies that fail to place children with homosexual "couples."
Under the proposal, faith-based charities who place children solely with married heterosexual parents would no longer be eligible for federal adoption subsidies or support.
"If this bill becomes law, some faith based groups will be driven out of the adoption business--leaving children and prospective parents with even fewer options for building families," says Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council.
"Adoption is not--and should never be about adults," Perkins adds. "There's an abundance of social science data supporting the common-sense belief that children do best when raised by a married mother and father."
Religious-based adoption agencies have already come under fire in Illinois. State officials canceled contracts with Catholic Charities and other faith-based groups because those agencies believe children deserve the benefit of a mother and a father. That action came after the passage of civil unions legislation in that state.
Boy Scout supporters have announced plans to establish a new national youth development program for young men that reflects the traditional values of the Boy Scout program. The announcement comes in the wake of last week's decision by the National Executive Council of the Boy Scouts of America to abandon core principles of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
Members of the Regional Councils of the Boy Scouts voted to amend the organization's membership standards to allow boys who affirm and promote homosexuality to participate in the Boy Scout program. The resolution was adopted with a 61 percent vote of approval following strong pleas made by Boy Scout President Wayne Brock and Boy Scout chief executive Wayne Perry. It will take effect on January 1st.
National Boy Scout representatives ignored the clear wishes of Boy Scout families who opposed the change. A recent survey conducted by the Boy Scouts gauging the sentiments of those active in Scouting showed that 61 percent supported the existing policy on homosexuality. Boy Scout executives also discarded their own two-year study which showed that the current policy was "in the best interests" of young men and their character development.
The decision by Boy Scout officials to embrace homosexuality stands in stark contrast to the foundational principles of Scouting. Homosexuality is a contradiction to the pledge a Boy Scout makes in the Scout Oath to be faithful to God and country, and to be "morally straight." Homosexuality stands in opposition to the virtues in the Scout Law that a Scout will be "clean and reverent."
"It is with great sadness that we witness the most influential youth program in America turn a tragic corner," says John Stemberger, leader of On My Honor, a group which had worked to preserve the central moral principles of Scouting. "The Boy Scouts are embarking on a pathway of social experimentation that we believe will place at risk the very youth the organization is entrusted to serve, while rendering as hollow the tenets of the Scout Oath."
In announcing the policy change, Boy Scout executives issued a statement declaring that "the Boy Scouts of America will not sacrifice its mission, or the youth service movement, by allowing the organization to be consumed by a single, divisive, and unresolved societal issue."
Yet, that is exactly what the organization did. BSA officials sacrificed Scouting's moral creed to satisfy the demands of corporate donors who insisted that they bow to the agenda of the homosexual rights movement. Major corporations had withheld or threatened to withhold corporate gifts and grants until the Boy Scouts adopted "gay-friendly" policies.
The organization also guaranteed that they will continue to be consumed by the divisive issue of homosexuality by their action. "Gay rights" activists are now insisting that the organization welcome homosexual men into the ranks to serve as leaders of Boy Scout troops and Cub Scout packs.
Such a change would inevitably lead to further victimization of young boys by men whom they look to as mentors. The Boy Scout program is already plagued by lawsuits from families of boys who have been sexually abused by Scout leaders and volunteers.
"The saddest part of today's decision is what the organization is teaching our children and young people in the program," Stemberger observes. "The BSA is teaching our kids that when your values become unpopular, just change them. When your convictions are challenged, just cave to peer pressure. "
"The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is 'to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes.' Yet now the BSA is teaching our kids that it is more important to stand up for what is popular than to stand up for what is right."
Leaders of religious denominations predictably reacted with dismay. "We believe that the BSA policy change will lead to a mass exodus from the Boy Scouts program, as Assemblies of God and many other churches can no longer support groups that are part of an organization allowing members who are openly homosexual," says Assemblies of God Superintendent George Wood. Approximately 70 percent of the more than 100,000 chartered Scout troops are sponsored by religious organizations.
The Assemblies of God sponsors a youth development program known as Royal Rangers. The Southern Baptist Convention sponsors a similar program known as Royal Ambassadors. Both programs are expected to see significant growth as a result of the Boy Scout decision.
Rob Schwarzalder of the Family Research Council agrees that the Boy Scout program will likely see a major attrition in membership. He points to the experience of Canada, where Scout officials voted in 1998 to open the ranks of Scouting to avowed homosexuals.
"Within a space of ten years participation in Canada's Scouting program has fallen by 50 percent," Schwarzalder comments. "We think the fallout in the United States could be much greater since so many troops are chartered by faith-based institutions."
The cultural forces seeking to reshape the precepts of Scouting have made it clear that their objectives are not limited to the normalization of homosexuality. Acceptance and celebration of atheism is the next battle cry. USA Today recently headlined a column entitled "Good Boy Scouts Don't Need God."
"In addition to ending all anti-gay policies, the Boy Scouts should also open their doors to those without a religious affiliation," says Roy Speckhardt, executive director of the American Humanist Association. "The national policy of discrimination against humanists and atheists needlessly shuts out millions of Americans."
Stemberger has announced that the On My Honor group will be meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, in June to lay the foundation for a new character development organization for boys. Stemberger is a former Eagle Scout and also serves as the President of the Florida Family Policy Council, a sister organization to the Missouri Family Policy Council.
"We will host and facilitate a national coalition meeting of former BSA parents and other youth leaders who wish to return to the truly timeless values that made this organization great," Stemberger says. "We have a desire to explore how we might serve families and young people at the highest standard originally intended by Scouting's founder, Robert Baden-Powell."

You know, the type of luck that gets you next to a huge star of the music business. Its unexpected, but nevertheless you are indeed there, with them, that type of luck.
Here’s the story! Who could this possibly be?
I’m in Manchester, normal day, attending the repair of a leaking Saunier Duval combi boiler.
Invited in, upstairs, through into the bathroom, take the front off the boiler, looking at a leaking pump block.
Nothing out of the ordinary so far then?
I’m working on the boiler, bloke comes in, starts telling me all about how and when and where the leak was in the boiler etc. Some more nice chat for a further 10 minutes or so. Then it struck me!
Oh my God, its him, I’m sure it is, isn’t it?
I’m getting excited now, we talk some more. I thought (being a bit older than him), I know how I can turn this into a bit of a laugh, just like I do everyday with our usual Glowcare customers.
We’re still standing there talking, eye-ball to eye-ball, I thought, how am I going to do this?
On his shirt I’d noticed he’d got a sort of badge, above the pocket (really excited now, here I go)!
“Are you a service engineer?” I said to him (being one myself). “No“, he replied, surprised!
“What do you do“, I quickly said, “I’m a singer“, he replied smiling slightly.
“Are you any good?” I asked. “Not bad“, he said, with the biggest smile ever!!
Even though I was taking the mickey a bit, he started to laugh, “do you recognise me?” he said.
Guy Garvey, the brilliant and world famous lead singer of Elbow, was my customer that day!
What a joy, absolute magic! and a top bloke.
Elbow lead singer Guy Garvey with Graham from Glowcare, after boiler repair.
Thanks Guy for allowing us to use this picture and telling the story!

Rheonik offers accurate and reliable high pressure Coriolis flow meter solutions for offshore chemical injection applications. With operating pressure ranges of up to 20,000psi and flow ranges 1g/min (~0.0005gpm) up to 400kg/min (~100gpm), Rheonik Omega Coriolis Meters can meet the needs of every offshore high pressure need.
Rheonik Messtechnik GmbH are pleased to introduce the expansion of their highly successful and field proven Omega Coriolis Flow meter range to cover chemical injection applications up to 20,000psi.
Coriolis meters are highly desirable in these applications for their low maintenance overhead, high accuracy performance, and advanced diagnostics capabilities but because of design pressure limitations in the past, mechanical meters have often been the only choice for these high pressure applications. With this expansion of the Rheonik Omega Coriolis meter range, operators now have more options for chemical injection metering.
The meters are available with a variety of wetted materials to suit corrosive chemicals and their lack of moving parts makes them highly suitable for those materials with entrained solids that often cause failures in traditional mechanical meters.
High Pressure Coriolis meters are paired with the recently released RHE21 Coriolis flow transmitter electronics. This highly featured transmitter in an explosion proof stainless steel enclosure is designed specifically for the rugged offshore environment. With advanced diagnostics and local color display feature, it provides both insight and signaling regarding the flow metering status of injection chemicals.
20,000psi rated flow meters are available in sizes from ¼” to 1½“ and can be supplied with MP cone and thread or any proprietary hub type fittings. Flow range capability is from 1g/min (~0.15gph) up to 400kg/min (~100gpm). Lower pressure rated meters are available in all sizes up to 12” line size.
The unit features mass, volume, density and temperature measurement plus totalizers for forward, reverse and net flow. Analog in capability allows input of pressure or remote density measurement for enhanced internal flow calculations of both liquid and gas.
Comprehensive I/O includes analog in/out (AI/AO), pulse/frequency, digital status in/out (DI/DO), Hart and Modbus over RS485.
Configuration and programming is through the through glass front panel keypad via the built in color display or through computer connection with the license free RHECom software package. A lock switch option is also available for custody transfer applications.
The Rheonik Assurance Suite provides diagnostics with detailed indication of flow meter performance variables in Assurance View® and all-inclusive meter performance with Assurance Factor®.
Units of measurement can be chosen from a wide selection of DIN and ANSI standard units. Built in software features corrected volume calculation to API standards, net oil calculation and standard gas volume determination.
All Rheonik Coriolis mass flow meter solutions are based upon the Omega shaped Coriolis sensor. This unique, patented design is renowned for its incredible stability and performance in the most difficult of applications while being one of the simplest to install, configure and operate.
Rheonik Omega tube sensors are resilient to vibration and line pulsations, even when used with piston type pumps. 316 stainless steel cases are provided for the rugged offshore environment.
20,000psi rated flow sensors can be supplied with MP cone/thread connections or any proprietary hub type fittings. Flow range capability is from 1g/min (~0.15gph) up to 400kg/min (~100gpm). Available operating temperatures are from cryogenic up to 350°C. Lower pressure rated meters are available up to 12” line size with a wide variety of process connection types.
Sensors are available in a variety of wetted materials to provide chemical compatibility and their lack of moving parts makes them highly suitable for those materials with entrained solids that often cause failures in traditional mechanical meters.

How Many Kids Does Catherine Zeta-Jones Have With Michael Douglas?
Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones keeps relatively quiet about her private life with actor husband Michael Douglas. The couple has been together a long time and appears to be stronger than ever. Here’s what you need to know about their marriage, their children, and their net worth.
How did Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas meet?
Michael Douglas, son of legendary actor Kirk Douglas, was married previously. He met and began dating Zeta-Jones in 1998, and they married in 2000. The couple met at the Deauville Film Festival in France.
The couple went through a rough patch several years back. Douglas was diagnosed with tongue cancer and Zeta-Jones spent a period of time in a hospital for her mental health, revealing her bipolar II diagnosis. They lived separately in 2013 but were back together by the next year.
From his first marriage, Douglas has a son, Cameron. Zeta-Jones and Douglas have two children together. Son Dylan Michael was born in 2000, and daughter Carys Zeta followed in 2003. Now that they’re teenagers, both have a steady social media presence, so it’s easy to see what they’ve been up to.
Dylan began attending Brown University in Rhode Island in Fall 2018. Carys has an interest in fashion and has been spotted with her parents at Michael Kors and Dolce & Gabbana shows during Fall 2019 fashion week.
On March 1, 2019, Zeta-Jones took Carys and Dylan with her to the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama 2019 Gala in New York City. The Welsh actress was there to receive an honorary award.
It’s hard not to marvel at how grown up her kids are. Dylan wore a nice black suit, while Carys matched her mom’s burgundy gown with the floral accents of her own beautiful dress.
Will Carys and Dylan join the family business?
When both your parents are actors, it’s hard to imagine that the question wouldn’t arise for kids like Carys and Dylan, especially considering their grandfather’s legacy. In an interview with Town & Country, Carys talked about becoming an actor, and what it would mean to do so under her very unique circumstances.
Zeta-Jones is reportedly worth $45 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Meanwhile, with his family wealth and a significantly longer career, Douglas is estimated to have a net worth of $300 million.
However, their extraordinary wealth doesn’t affect their parenting. In the Town & Country interview, while Zeta-Jones said that she is “sick of being humble” when it comes to her status, she expressed how important it was to her to make sure her children grew up with manners.

Is there a big difference between these two that I'm missing? I have heard and read many rave reviews about the Grand Slams but can't find much about the Classic V series, yet the specs and price of the two I am trying to compare (GS 6-20x40 and Cl V 6-24x42) are very close to each other.
Aside from the slight difference in power range, is there any real difference in quality between these two scopes? The .223 reticle on the Classic V really appeals to me, but I have a vague feeling I am missing something.

Just as Hans von Luck impressed with his personal account of his incredible journey as a German tanker in World War II, so does Stanley Christopherson for the English side. “An Englishman at War: The Wartime Diaries of Stanley Christopherson DSO, MC, TD” published in 2014 by Bantam Press and edited and annotated by World War II historian James Holland is a fascinating, gripping, and very personal journey with a man who was called to serve in the Sherwood Rangers Tank Regiment from Palestine in 1939, through Tobruk and El Alamein in Africa, D-Day, Nijmegen, across the Rhine, and all the way to the end in 1945.
Because they were always called to the front lines as a sort of “fire brigade”, the Sherwood Rangers fought just about everywhere on the western front worth noting. After fighting in Africa for two years, they thought they might get a break and be used as reserves for the Normandy invasion. Such was not their lot, and they were instead taught how to man the Sherman DD swimming tank for the run in on Gold Beach on June 6, 1944. As many of these beasts sank better than they swam, many Sherwood Rangers swam up into the beach as very waterlogged Desert Rats. Despite their challenges, they took Bayeux on June 7, and then fought through the hedgerows into France. During Market Garden (Holland), they were up front with the American 82nd Paratroopers at the battle in Nijmegen.
I was first drawn to the book because of Charley’s close friendships with the Sherwood Rangers, against whom he fought in Africa in 1943. The moment I started reading it, however, I knew I would not put it down until it was fully devoured. Christopherson writes well, describes his situations with typical British wit and humor, and fortunately for us, even romantic experiences have not been left out.
If you want an overall perspective on the western front war, written by honorable and opposing participants, start with this book and “Panzer Commander” by Hans von Luck, and you won’t go wrong.

Creek at the bottom of the Elqui Valley in Chile. The Elqui Valley is the current biomagnetic center of the planet.
When I was a child I dreamed of growing up and embracing the freedom of travel. I want to take it all in; I want to see and to experience it all.
I didn't have direct career ambitions, per se, but moreover I just wanted to travel everywhere and to experience everything. Or, to put it differently, I wanted to create and I wanted to travel. The priorities changed often about which held more sway.
Then I became a parent early. Then I decided to finish college. Then I couldn't afford travel. For awhile I had a job that allowed me to travel frequently, but then I got a better job. And, that job has kept me stationary for years now. A myriad of reasons, all of the them decent, for why I hadn't traveled like I'd imagined I would when I was younger. And, each stage has been worth it for the different lessons they brought me.
Ramp between the Western Wall and leading up to the Temple Mount where the Al Aqsa mosque now stands in Jerusalem.
And, mostly, the lessons have been that adulthood is not at all like I'd expected (obviously). I hadn't expected my insides to transform as much as they have these past years. I hadn't expected the calmness that comes with acceptance of my place and of my life.
2015 brought more travel than ever.
Chile, Israel, with two road trips to California in between. Even with all my childhood dreams of traveling, I never imagined Chile nor Israel. And, the funny thing is that I hadn't explicitly tried to go to either place.
It is more that, well, they just happened. After years of traveling inside my head, the outer adventures showed up and I was in a place where I could appreciate them.
In February, we went to Chile. Specifically, we visited the biomagnetic center of the world. An obscure valley, known for its starry skies and observatories. Literally, we went to see the stars and the planets; and in the process also saw eagles, donkeys, scorpions, grapes, foxes, and cactus flowers. In the process, I learned of a long-running confluence of the planet Venus with Saturn and Jupiter; and found parallels in the myth of God (Saturn) entrusting the earth to Adam (Jupiter) and Eve (Venus) as they dip from the stars to the land off in the distant horizon. The valley felt so peaceful I thought I could stay there forever. Truly, it felt like a center worth experiencing.
In spring, we went to Los Angeles to install a show at Monte Vista Projects. We drove south from Oregon; my traveling companion was from Massachusetts and she hadn't made the trip before. I loved seeing the view through her eyes.
Then in October I received a fellowship to travel to Israel for ten days in November in order to attend the Association of European Jewish Museums conference at the Israel Museum. An undreamed dream come true! I can't say that the trip came to me out of the blue, but it did come to me while I was in a neutral state of not-expecting.
I had a day and a half before Shabbat to visit the Old City. That's not much time but every moment felt like a true gift. This tends to stretch minutes into a world of enough time.
Somehow, while standing in what I thought was the line to visit the Western Wall (which was the only thing on my 'itinerary' for my first day) I ended up in line to visit the Temple Mount, which is the area where Jews and non-Muslims are restricted from visiting. What happened was that I had been going with the flow of people and was sandwiched between two Christian tour groups and when I finally thought to ask another person in line why our particular line for the Western Wall was going so slow when the others were moving much faster, they said, "Oh, this isn't a line for the Wall. We're going up to the Temple Mount." But, by that time I'd invested so much time I figured I'd stick with it. And, of course, I'm glad I did because I had been feeling all along that I'd wanted to see the Al Aqsa mosque but had resigned myself that it just wasn't an option for me because of the politics happening now in a civil war that isn't my fight to begin with.
Anyway, I got to see the mosque! Or, the outside at least. It was so beautiful and I wanted to cry from the beauty.
Then, when the sounds rang (non-Muslims are only allowed in the Temple Mount for restricted times) I was ushered down a staircase that led straight into the 'Muslim Quarter' of the city....which is another area I'd resigned myself to avoiding because of what I'd been told by people to avoid. Everything is so beautiful.
Then I made my way back to the women's section of the Western Wall and after going to the wall and touching it for awhile with my eyes closed it just got to be too much stimulation and vibration and so I sat down for awhile in one of the chairs to close my eyes, ground, and just sit with everything.
When I opened my eyes the little white dove was sitting by the chair in front of me. Isn't she sweet?
Last week, we drove south again to spend the holiday with friends in North Hollywood. Somehow, on the drive back we stumbled onto Highway 99 rather than the main freeway. It didn't add too much time to the trip and the fun part is that we ended up seeing the Christmas Full Moon full and bright on the horizon, gleaming and huge while at a truck stop! The picture does not do justice to how big the Moon looked.
So, two spiritual centers in one year. First, the center for magnetism and second the center for the essence of Spirit that lives around the body. I don't know what kind of line would be drawn through the globe between Chile and Israel but suffice it to say, they are far apart both as the crow flies and as the magma flows. In this picture I happen to be standing on the Temple Mount while wearing a Chilean necklace from the Elqui Valley with a full moon and starry sky.
The travel this year comes at a point in my life when my centers are located more securely within my mind and my body rather than adrift on imagined voyages of becoming. I am here. And I'm there. I'm with you even when I'm apart.
I can't say what will come in the future. I love and I feel and I trust that what comes will come.
You Don't Owe Me. You Don't Own Me.
To breathe in and breathe out for moments of the day without needing anything from anybody; and without anybody needing anything from you.
It feels great to empty the mind.
Tonight I watched Phantom of the Opera for the first time. I'd had the soundtrack when I was younger and knew the songs but had never seen the play or movie. When I left the auditorium I was singing songs from my childhood.
Reconciling the light and dark. Needing them both. Loving them both. Seeing in one the dreams of limitless potential and seeing in the other the warmth and nourishment of summertime. I watched transfixed, even though I knew how it would end; with light and dark achieving balance in service to the archetypal Female Creative Source.
If the Abrahamic faiths are focused on forms in the sky, what happens in the meantime? What other parts of the story get left out? In the meantime, we are asked to forget and ignore the life-sustaining elements that bind us to the planet. We forget water, air, dirt. We use fire indiscriminately in the form of bombs and gunfire – as though our own spirits aren't already more than enough of that particular element to perform as catalyst for change. It's as though we neurotically fear we won't have enough fire when the earth always supplies enough of what we need.
The support system that allows us to live is virtually invisible in its constancy and fluidity. It is entirely possible we don't notice the earth because some part of our body is always attached to it.
We can't see our Mother because she is always there supporting and sustaining us. Basically, she is too good at her job. She makes it too easy for us to take her for granted. The sun teaches us the day/night dichotomy, and therefore we are made aware daily of its periodic absence; the moon teaches us to mark time in a monthly rhythm and to mark the tides in its ebb and flow. We notice when it comes and we notice when it leaves. The earth is what births us, clothes us, and feeds us; and in doing so we can almost ignore her entirely as a source of the divine.
Moving forward, we will see and feel her gravity. She is tangible, palpable. Both literally and figuratively.
To balance the Father Sky imagery with Mother Earth imagery, we can do amazingly simple acts. It doesn't need to be complicated. The power of the earth is huge in its ability to foment change and to heal. Plant trees. Drink water. Walk barefoot. These aren't my ideas; but I am sharing them.
It doesn't require a huge bank account nor does it require a fiery revolution in the streets.
When the weight of fear over man-made situations such as war, terror attacks, gun violence, and anti-women violence becomes too great to emotionally bear, then do the things that bring Male and Female imagery back into balance for you. Do the nourishing things that support you and that support others. Touch the ground. Make tea. Walk with flowers. Everybody doesn't need to honor the earth simultaneously in order to bring our planet into balance. The earth is powerful enough that if even a small segment of the population brings their stellar/solar/lunar/male sky imagery into alignment with the fertile abundant ground we walk on, it will go a long way towards healing the world we live in.
If you are scared that abortion will be made illegal again in an attempt by masculine fixated people to force us to glorify male power, then do a simple thing.
Remember the symbiotic plant relationships we've had for millennia with the earth and with our mothers. These relationships allowed and allow us to thrive and to flourish. You are the embodiment of that successful relationship (otherwise, your genes wouldn't be here in a physical body capable of reading this!) and you can honor it be giving people with wombs a solid knowledge of their power to create life. And, you do that by remembering the plants which regulate the uterus and the hormone levels in the body during pregnancy. In short, you remember the plants which are abortifacients. We haven't forgotten them and if we remember, then we'll always have them. Men can't take them away. I would love to see gardens everywhere with evening primrose, pennyroyal, blue and black cohosh, angelica, and others thriving as an act of awareness of the power of the female body and of the power of the earth to provide us with what we need. It is the most powerful way to counterbalance the restrictive regulations people try to force upon wombs. Do a little research and then plant them.
Of course, I'd love to see gardens have all the herbal medicines growing happily in them. Dandelions, arrowroot, raspberry leaves, chamomile. And so much more. Again, just plant them. You don't even have to know how they 'work' in the body nor do you even have to use them medicinally. Just having them in your garden is memory enough for now.
Waterboy and Old Man Knowall, from Tales from Bohemia. Folk Tale recorded by Karel Jaromir Erben. Translated by Vera Gissing.
Maybe it really happened, and maybe it did not, but the story has it that once long ago, there was a king in Bohemia who loved to hunt. One day, when he was chasing deer in the forest, he lost his way. It was growing dark and the king as all alone. He was very glad when he came upon a lonely cottage in a clearing. It was the home of a miner.
Soon afterwards, the miner’s baby son was born. The king, above in the loft, was unable to seep. At midnight, he noticed a strange glow in the room below him. He peeped through a crack in the floorboards and saw the miner in a deep sleep, and the wife lying there deathly pale and lifeless. Beside the baby’s cradle stood three old women, all in white, each with a candle in her hand. They were the Three Fates.
The youngest and third said, “My gift is that of a bride born this night to the wife of the king who sleeps in the loft above.” The Three Fates blew out their candles and all was dark and still.
The king felt as if a sword had been plunged into his breast. He did not close an eye the whole night long and racked his brains how to prevent what had been prophesied from coming to pass.
When the morning came, the baby began to cry. The miner rose and saw that during the night, his wife had fallen into an eternal sleep.
The miner was delighted and the king left, promising to send for the baby very soon. When he returned to the palace, he was told the joyful news that on that very night, his wife had given birth to a beautiful daughter.
The servant did as he was bid. He carried the baby in a basket and when he came to a foot bridge over a deep, wide river, he threw the baby and basket into the water.
“Good riddance, my unwelcome son-in-law!” said the king, when the servant returned and reported that his task had been accomplished.
The king was now content, thinking that he infant had drowned. But the basket had floated safely with the current and the baby had slept soundly, rocked by the waves, until it came near a fisherman’s hut.
The fisherman was sitting on the bank mending his net, when he saw a strange object bobbing up and down in the water. He jumped into his boat, rowed after the baby and pulled it out of the water.
The wife was overjoyed and they brought the boy up as if he was their very own. Time passes as the river flows, and the boy grew into a handsome youth, who had no equal far and wide. It so happened that one hot summer’s day, the king chanced to pass by. He was very thirsty, so he stopped and asked the fisherman for a drink of water. When Waterboy handed it to him, the king looked him over and was quite impressed.
The king asked for writing materials and wrote to the queen, “The youth who is the bearer of this letter must die at once. He is an evil enemy of mine. Let it be done before my return. Such is my will.” Then, he folded the letter and sealed it with his ring.
Waterboy set off at once. His journey took him through a huge forest and he, too, lost his way. The forest was getting wilder and thicker, and darkness was falling rapidly, so he was relieved when he met an old woman.
“Where are you going, Waterboy?” she asked.
When the queen read the letter, she at once made preparations for the wedding. Neither she nor the princess could take their eyes off the bridegroom, so greatly was he to their liking. Waterboy, too, was more than pleased with his bride.
A few days later, the king returned. When he realized what had happened, he was furious.
“But you yourself commanded me to hold the wedding before your return!” the queen said, defending herself. She presented him with the letter.
The king examined the paper, the writing, the seal – they were truly those he had sent. Then, he went to his son-in-law and questioned him about the journey. Waterboy told him about how he had lost his way in the forest and that he had spent the night with his godmother.
“What does she look like?” asked the king.
As soon as the youth described her, the king knew that she was the same old woman who had promised his daughter to the miner’s son twenty years ago.
He thought and thought, and then he said, “What is done cannot be undone. But you cannot be my son-in-law just like that! If you wish to keep my daughter as your wife, you must bring her a dowry of three golden hairs from Old Man Knowall.” The king was sure such an impossible task would get rid of his unwanted son-in-law forever.
Waterboy bade his bride goodbye, and set off. He easily found his way, for one of the Fates was his godmother. He traveled on and on, crossing mountains and rivers, until he came to the Black Sea. There he saw a ferryman aboard his boat.
“God be with you, old man!” Waterboy said in greeting.
Waterboy agreed and the ferryman ferried him across.
Next, he came to a large city, which looked shabby and sad. At the city gate, he met an old man leaning on a stick and dragging himself painfully along.
Waterboy promised and the king dismissed him graciously.
Later on, the youth came to another large city, but it lay almost in ruins. Near the city walls a son was digging a grave for his deceased father, and tears as big as peas rolled down his face.
“Lord give you good morrow, grief-stricken grave digger!” said Waterboy.
Waterboy promised and the king dismissed him with his blessing.
His journey took him through a long, dark forest, in the middle of which he found a big, green meadow full of flowers. In this meadow, stood the golden palace of Old Man Knowall, and it glistened like fire. Waterboy entered, but found no one inside except an old woman sitting in the corner, spinning.
Waterboy begged the old woman to ask Old Man Knowall the three questions he needed answering.
Suddenly, the wind howled outside, the western window of the palace burst open and the Sun flew in – an old man with a golden head.
The old man made no comment, but sat down to eat his supper. When he had eaten, he laid his golden head on his mother’s knee and began to doze. When the old woman saw he was asleep, she pulled out one of his golden hairs and threw it on the floor. It rang out like the peal of a bell.
“What do you want of me, Mother?” the Sun grumbled.
When Old Man Knowall had fallen asleep again, the old woman plucked out a second golden hair and threw it to the ground.
Once again, the Sun dropped off to sleep and his mother plucked out the third golden hair.
“Are you never going to let me go to sleep?” Old Man Knowall cried crossly and was about to rise.
Just before dawn, a great wind rose outside, and instead of the old Sun, a lovely golden-haired infant awoke on the old woman’s lap. This was the morning Sun, and he bade his mother goodbye and flew out through the eastern window.
At once, the king gave orders for this to be done, and when he saw water gushing forth again, he gave the youth twelve horses as white as snow which he loaded with as much gold, silver, and precious stones as they could carry.
At once, the king gave orders for this to be done, and just in a single night the apple tree was full of the most beautiful blossom. The king was overjoyed, and gave Waterboy twelve horses as black as ravens, loaded with as many riches as they could carry.
Waterboy road on until he came to the Black Sea where the ferryman asked if he had discovered how the would be freed.
The ferryman objected to this, but when he saw there was no other way, he ferried Waterboy across the sea with all his riches and four and twenty horses.
The king could hardly believe his eyes when Waterboy returned with the three golden hairs of Old Man Knowall, and the princess wept, not with grief, but for joy at her husband’s safe return.
“Where did you get these fine horses and all the riches?” marveled the king.
“I earned them,” Waterboy said. He went on to relate how he had helped one king to obtain youth-giving apples, and another king life-giving water.
Without delay, the king left to find the apples of youth and the water of life, and he has not returned to this day.
So, Waterboy ruled instead of the king, just as his godmother predicted. As for the king, perhaps he is still ferrying folk across the Black Sea!
The last week saw two different terrorist attacks in America; one in Colorado at a Planned Parenthood and another in California at a public health center. Both attacks highlight the single minded vision people have when they commit to one ideology over all others.
We've seen this happen for millennia. If we look specifically at the symbolism of the Abrahamic faiths, we'll see they are focused on sky imagery. The Abrahamic faiths are sky religions; intent on gazing up without noticing the ground they walk on. In Judaism, we find the symbol of the star; Christianity, the sun and its four seasons; and Islam, the moon. Due to their lofty abode, and due to the archetypal focus upon 'Father Sky', the sacred feminine is easily overlooked. Father Sky as opposed to Mother Earth.
It's not that any one of them are wrong, but it is that they are imbalanced in their narrow focus. They don't tell the whole story; they do tell part of the story.
When we focus on the stars; we focus on the original energy and power that is fueled by creation. Hence, Judaism is excellent at conceptualizing the idea of one and of unity; it is the religion the points towards creation's own abstract origin.
Christianity, with its helio-centric calendar focuses on the birth, death, and resurrection cycle and reminds us of the seasonal cycles of life that are brought to us cyclically by the waxing and waning of the sun's power. Thus, we get Jesus's (the Sun/Son) death and resurrection in Easter springtime as new sprouts crack through the earth; and we get a birthing story on the winter solstice as a tale of the sun's return.
And, though the symbol of the crescent moon and star pre-dates Islam, it is fitting that the religion co-opted it as its own as a refreshing reprieve from the relentless and oppressive heat of the desert sun's daytime glare. In the desert, the shielding arm of night and the moon offer the biggest protection from the burning gaze of the all-seeing sun.
Who are we to imagine which object we need more? The Sun? The Moon? The Stars? Solar? Lunar? Stellar? We need them all. Everything in its trajectory and orbit is aligned to support life on earth. We need the sun to provide light as we need the moon to move the ocean tide. The stars navigate our way and tell our stories. All support each other; and embedded within our collective genetic memory are those of us who see the benefit of coalescing seemingly conflicting ideologies together rather than pitting them against one another.
We see the beauty in symbiosis and understand our life dependence on interdependent systems.
We exist; and, more importantly, we have always existed.

In 1775, British Gen. John Burgoyne identified the Lake Champlain-Hudson River corridor, an historic gateway between Canada and the northern colonies of British North America, as the primary target for British military operations in North America. If the British army could control it from Canada to New York City, they could cut New England off from the rest of the colonies, secure the route for supplies and reinforcements from Canada, and strengthen Indian alliances, thereby crushing the rebellion quickly and decisively.
In 1777, the British planned a two-pronged attack to secure the corridor. Armies under General Burgoyne and Lt. Colonel Barry St. Leger would use the Hudson-Champlain corridor and the Mohawk Valley respectively to fall upon Albany. They would then join forces with their commander Gen. Sir William Howe in New York City, and together they would make a concerted effort to quell the rebellion. On June 17, 1777, Burgoyne led a combined force of 8,000 British, German, Loyalist, and Native American troops from St. Johns (now St. Jean), Canada into New York. Moving southward, Burgoyne took Fort Ticonderoga and brushed aside most of the American rear guard opposing him.
Then, the British plan began to run into problems. St. Leger's force moved up the Mohawk Valley and laid siege to American Fort Schuyler (Fort Stanwix) on August 3, 1777, but retreated after the Battle of Oriskany because of losses and the approach of an American relief force. Howe was at sea, preparing to attack the rebel capital of Philadelphia. He had left only a small force under the command of Sir Henry Clinton in New York City. Burgoyne's army was on its own.
Maj. Gen. Horatio Gates, commander of the Northern Department of the Continental Army, led his 9,000 Americans from the mouth of the Mohawk River to a position 30 miles north of Albany, near Saratoga, overlooking the Hudson River. There they fortified Bemis Heights, where the road to Albany squeezes between hills and river. Gates' soldiers built an extensive fortified line on the heights and on the river flats. Burgoyne was forced to fight the Americans on the ground on which they had chosen to fight. At a small town in the wilderness in northern New York, farmers, merchants, and tradesmen changed the course of world history.

Kenny Chesney was understandably shaken after Hurricane Irma devastated St. John in 2017 – the singer flew in medical supplies and aided in the relief effort while he worked on his new album, Songs for the Saints. His association with his island home and people that live there inspired this project. The “saints” are the people of St. John, resilient and still strong enough to rebuild their home after the devastation of the storm.
The ultimate result of Songs for the Saints is that it’s one of Chesney’s most introspective and best albums to date. From start to finish, Chesney takes the listener on a personal and emotional journey.
Truthfully, the album doesn’t require a lot of words to describe it, because the music ultimately does the heavy lifting. A song like “Gulf Moon” (originally written by John Baumann) plays out like a mini-movie in your head, making you feel like you’re a part of the scene being portrayed.
Other tracks like “Pirate Song” and the cover of Lord Huron’s “Ends of the Earth” are poetic in nature. While both feature strong imagery, they also have overlapping themes – they speak to exploring this vast world we live in. “Pirate Song” skates by on a gentle, warm acoustic melody while “Ends of the Earth” takes on a bold, adventuresome, atmospheric tone to capture that rush of exploring the world. Both tracks ultimately imply that the journey to find yourself is never over, and by finding the pieces to that puzzle, you’re in turn able to help others in need.
With a natural disaster, it’s hard to know exactly what to do if you’re on the other side of it all, unaffected by it physically (as we, the listeners are). As “Every Heart” subtly says though, we’re all in debt to each other because we can’t do anything in this life without each other. Through the destruction, the only thing that remains at the end of it all is love.
Fans of Chesney’s 2013 album Life on a Rock will find a lot to love about this album’s production, as it takes the same bells and whistles from that album and applies them here. Breezy acoustic melodies and steel drums permeate the album. It’s a refreshing change of pace to hear something so organic compared to other major country artist’s albums these days. True to its name, “Island Rain” feels refreshing with its rollicking rhythms that offer the always-needed perspective to enjoy what you have in life.
It should be noted, too, that while the album is often introspective and heavy, there are moments to celebrate the good in life – it wouldn’t be a Kenny Chesney album without that balance. One such piece of evidence comes in the monster single, “Get Along,” as well as the humorous “We’re All Here,” another track that pays homage to his friends back home.
By far the most revealing track here is the vulnerable album closer “Better Boat,” which also appeared on writer Travis Meadow’s album, First Cigarette, last year. It’s simply a stunning song, and really, it doesn’t quite give off the fairytale notion that everything will be alright in the end. There’s been pain and suffering for Chesney and his friends over the past year, but like the song says, they’ll get back up to rebuild their home.
No, Chesney, maybe you weren’t there “the night that the drums went silent” as you sing in “Love For Love City,” but you crafted an album that your friends back home would be proud of. All proceeds from this album go to hurricane relief for the people of St. John.

Last week I wrote about the centuries-old conflict between Muslims and Jews generally, and the controversies surrounding remarks that Rep. Ilhan Omar made. I concluded by offering to share potential solutions to these dilemmas this week. Then the massacre of Muslims in New Zealand happened.
As you know, a white supremacist stole the lives of at least 50 Muslim worshippers — and wounded at least 50 others — last week. In the wake of this unspeakable tragedy, we have witnessed acts that engender hope for a better future. For example, the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh set up a fund to assist the New Zealand victims. This gesture was motivated, in part, by the fact that a campaign called “Muslims Unite for Pittsburgh Synagogue Victims” raised nearly $240,000 following a similar shooting — whose targets were Jewish — a few months ago.
Interestingly, Jews and Muslims often have similar enemies. Sadly, some Muslims have found common cause with white nationalists against Jews, as evidenced by racist conferences that feature speakers like David Duke. Similarly, some Jews have engaged in anti-Islamic speech and actions. They are aided and abetted by “leaders” like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who earlier this month wrote, “Israel is not a state of all its citizens. … According to the basic nationality law we passed, Israel is the nation state of the Jewish people — and only it.” Not to be outdone, President Trump (who is neither Jewish nor Muslim) remarked that there were “very fine people” among the white supremacists in Charlottesville, Viriginia. (One wonders if he was referring to those who chanted “Jews will not replace us,” those who defended traitorous Confederate monuments, or the person who murdered Heather Heyer.) Hate is not confined to one group of people.
As a non-Jew, should I be “allowed” to judge whether Omar’s words were anti-Semitic? (As an African-American, I’m sensitive to white Americans telling me what does — and does not — constitute racism.) But, if my status as a non-Jewish person disqualifies me from making such judgments, what do we do with philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre? He was not Jewish, but wrote a searing critique, “Anti-Semite and Jew,” that roundly condemned anti-Jewish bigotry. My view is that there are certain racist words and actions that all people of goodwill can — and should — forcefully condemn. This is one part of the solution.
Also, it is important to remember the fundamental difference between the anti-Semitism of Muslims and that of, for example, the Nazis. (As I said in my previous column, context always matters.) I think that most of us understand that Omar does not pose an existential threat to the Jewish people. Neither do the majority of people who have expressed such bigotry. However, if I were Jewish, I’m not sure that this would matter to me.

This book summarizes the results of research the authors have pursued in the past years on the problem of implementing Bell's notion of local causality in local physical theories and relating it to other important concepts and principles in the foundations of physics such as the Common Cause Principle, Bell's inequalities, the EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) scenario, and various other locality and causality concepts. The book is intended for philosophers of science with an interest in the formal background of sciences, philosophers of physics and physicists working in foundation of physics.

The University of Virginia (also The University,Many universities' students and alumni refer to their respective institutions as "the university" for short. At the University of Virginia, this title is capitalized as a proper noun (i.e., "The University" or "the University") in reference only to this particular school, much like The Lawn and The Rotunda . In recent decades many of the school's alumni and students have sported university-licensed bumper stickers and window decals of simply THE UNIVERSITY in the school's colors (), a practice not always well understood or appreciated by outsiders, leaving some to declare such usage to be elitist. However, the vernacular tradition goes back more than a hundred years, as indicated in the following excerpt from a 1903 novel. Mr. Jefferson's University, or Virginia; often abbreviated as U.Va. or UVA) is a public research university located in Charlottesville , Virginia , founded by Thomas Jefferson. Conceived by 1800 and established in 1819, it is the only university in the United States to be designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO , an honor it shares with nearby Monticello .
The University is notable in U.S. history for being the first educational institution to offer academic programs in disciplines now common, such as astronomy and philosophy. Its School of Engineering and Applied Science was the first engineering school in the United States to be part of a comprehensive university. Officially, the University of Virginia is incorporated as The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia.
The early Board of Visitors was filled with former Presidents of the United States: Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe. Although Jefferson undertook all planning of the University, the land underneath it was once a farm belonging to Monroe. His farmhouse was located on Monroe Hill, which today is the site of one of three undergraduate residential colleges.
Student life is unique among public universities in that historical secret societies such as Seven, IMP, and Z are very active; as are two rival literary and debating societies, the Jefferson Society and Washington Society. Many students live in residential colleges such as Brown College and Hereford College. Yet some aspects of student life are more recognizable to those familiar with other universities across the nation, as there are also fraternities and sororities, and the athletic teams participate in the highly competitive Atlantic Coast Conference. Notably the University has, by far, the highest African American graduation rate of all public universities in the United States.
On January 18, 1800, Thomas Jefferson, then Vice President of the United States, alluded to plans for a new college in a letter written to British scientist Joseph Priestley: "We wish to establish in the upper country of Virginia, and more centrally for the State, a University on a plan so broad and liberal and modern, as to be worth patronizing with the public support, and be a temptation to the youth of other States to come and drink of the cup of knowledge and fraternize with us." In 1802, then serving as President of the United States, Jefferson wrote to artist Charles Willson Peale that his concept of the new university would be "on the most extensive and liberal scale that our circumstances would call for and our faculties meet." Virginia was already home to one university, the College of William & Mary , but Jefferson lost confidence in his alma mater, partly because of its religious biases and lack of education in the sciences. His concerns became great enough by 1800 that he wrote: "We have in that State, a college just well enough endowed to draw out the miserable existence to which a miserable constitution has doomed it." Thus, he began planning a university more aligned with his educational ideals.
The University of Virginia stands on land purchased in 1788 by an American Revolutionary War veteran (and eventual fifth President of the United States), James Monroe. The farmland just outside Charlottesville was purchased from Monroe by the Board of Visitors of what was then Central College in 1817; Monroe was beginning the first of his own two terms in the White House . Guided by Jefferson, the school laid its first building's cornerstone later in 1817 and the Commonwealth of Virginia would charter the new university on January 25, 1819.
In the presence of James Madison, the Marquis de Lafayette toasted Jefferson as "father" of the University of Virginia at the school's inaugural banquet in 1824. The University's first classes met in March 1825. Other universities of the day allowed only three choices of specialization: Medicine, Law, and Religion, but under Jefferson's guidance, the University of Virginia became the first in the United States to allow specializations in such diverse fields as Astronomy, Architecture, Botany, Philosophy, and Political Science. Jefferson explained, "This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it."
Jefferson was intimately involved in the University, hosting Sunday dinners at his Monticello home for faculty and students, until his death. So taken with the import of what he viewed the University's foundations and potential to be, and counting it amongst his greatest accomplishments, Jefferson insisted his grave mention only his status as author of the Declaration of Independence and Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and father of the University of Virginia. Thus, he eschewed mention of his Presidency and national accomplishments in favor of being remembered for the newly established university.
In 1826, the nation's fourth President James Madison became Rector of the University of Virginia, at the same time America's fifth President James Monroe made his home on the Grounds (at Monroe Hill) and was a member of the Board of Visitors. Both former Presidents stayed at the University until their deaths in the 1830s.
The School of Engineering and Applied Science opened in 1836, making it the first engineering school in the United States to be attached to a comprehensive university.
At the onset of the American Civil War, the University of Virginia was the largest in the Southern United States and second nationwide only to Harvard University in its scope. Unlike many other colleges in the South, the University was kept open throughout the conflict, an especially remarkable feat with its state being the site of more battles than any other. In March 1865, Union General George Armstrong Custer marched troops into Charlottesville, whereupon faculty and community leaders convinced him to spare the University. Though Union troops camped on the Lawn and damaged many of the Pavilions, Custer's men left four days later without bloodshed and the University was able to return to its educational routines.
Jefferson, ever the skeptic of central authority and bureaucracy, had originally decided the University of Virginia would have no President. Rather, this power was to be shared by a Rector and a Board of Visitors. As the nineteenth century waned, it became obvious this arrangement was incapable of adequately handling the many administrative and fundraising tasks which had become regrettably but unavoidably necessary amid the inner-workings of the growing University.
In 1904, Edwin Alderman resigned as President of Tulane University to take the same position at the University of Virginia. As the University's first President, he embarked on a number of reforms for both the University and the state of Virginia's public educational systems in general. A reform specific to the University of Virginia was one of the first school-sponsored financial aid programs in all of higher learning and, though primitive by today's standards, it included a loan provision for those "needy young men" who were unable to pay. Initially controversial and opposed by many at what had become a very traditional school, Alderman's progressive ideas stood the test of time and he today remains the longest-serving President in the University's history, having served for nearly thirty years until his death in 1931. Alderman Library, a popular landmark among today's students, is his namesake.
Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner became writer-in-residence at the University in 1957, keeping open office hours until his death in 1962. He was also a lecturer at the school, as well as taking the title "Consultant on American Literature to the Alderman Library". Faulkner had a large collection of his manuscripts and typesets given to and made available (the request reaffirmed by his wife and daughter) at the library upon his death.
In 2004, resulting from a stark decrease in state support, the University of Virginia became the first public university in the United States to receive more of its funding from private sources than from the state with which it is associated. Thanks to a Charter initiative that passed the Virginia General Assembly and was signed into law by then-Governor Mark Warner in 2005, the University—and any other public universities in the state that choose to do so (currently Virginia Tech and William & Mary )—will have greater autonomy over its own affairs.
Also in 2004, the 100th anniversary of Alderman becoming President, the University announced the AccessUVa financial aid program. This program guarantees the University will meet 100% of a student's demonstrated need. It also provides low-income students (up to 200% of the poverty line – as of 2009, about $44,000 for a family of four) with full grants to cover all of their educational needs, and it caps the level of need-based loans for all other students. This program is the first to guarantee full grants to students of low-income families at any public university in the United States.
All-white until 1950 and generally all-male until 1970 (women had for many years prior been admitted to the education and nursing schools), the University of Virginia is now very diverse. The story of the racial integration of the University is movingly told in Sarah Patton Boyle's classic book The Desegregated Heart (1962). Boyle was a faculty wife and civil rights activist who worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (He singled her out for praise in his famous "Letter From Birmingham Jail".) The makeup of the Class of 2008 was 10% African American, 14% Asian American, 5% Hispanic, 5% Other and 5% International. Fewer than two-thirds identified themselves as being white. Eighty-five percent of the University's entering Class of 2009 were ranked in the top 10% of their graduating high school class and 56% are female.
Today, minority students are particularly successful at the University of Virginia. According to the Fall 2005 issue of Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, the University "has the highest black student graduation rate of the Public Ivies at 86 percent." The journal goes on to state that "by far the most impressive is the University of Virginia with its high black student graduation rate and its small racial difference in graduation rates."
The University of Virginia joined with Harvard University and Princeton University as the three universities announced the end of their Early Decision and Early Action programs in September 2006, stating that such policies limit low-income and middle class students from competing on an equal footing with applicants from wealthy families. For its part, U.Va. noted that of 947 Early Decision acceptances for the Class of 2010, fewer than 20 of those students had applied for financial aid.
In the United States Bicentennial issue of their AIA Journal, the American Institute of Architects called it "the proudest achievement of American architecture in the past 200 years". Today, the University of Virginia remains an architectural landmark and popular tourist destination.
The University, together with Jefferson's home at Monticello , is a World Heritage Site, one of only three modern sites so listed in the 50 states, the others being the Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall . It was the first collegiate campus worldwide to be awarded the designation.
Jefferson's original architectural design revolves around the "Academical Village", and that name remains in use today to describe both the specific area of The Lawn , a grand, terraced green space surrounded by residential and academic buildings, the gardens, The Range, and the larger University surrounding it. The principal building of the design, The Rotunda ( RotundaCam), stands at the north end of the Lawn, and is the most recognizable symbol of the University. It is half the height and width of the Pantheon in Rome , which was the primary inspiration for the building. The Lawn and the Rotunda were the model for many similar designs of "centralized green areas" at universities across the country.
Most notably designed by inspiration of the Rotunda and Lawn are the expansive green spaces headed by Rotunda-like buildings built at Duke University in 1892, Johns Hopkins University in 1902, Rice University in 1910, Peabody College of Vanderbilt University in 1915, the Green at the University of Delaware in 1916, Killian Court at MIT in 1916 (which was coincidentally founded by William Barton Rogers, who immediately prior to founding MIT was a Natural Philosophy professor at the University of Virginia for 19 years) and the American-designed "Old Campus" of Tsinghua University in Beijing built in 1917.
Flanking both sides of the Rotunda and extending down the length of the Lawn are ten Pavilions interspersed with student rooms. Each has its own classical architectural style, as well as its own walled garden separated by Jeffersonian Serpentine walls. These walls are called "serpentine" because they run a sinusoidal course, one that lends strength to the wall and allows for the wall to be only one brick thick, one of many innovations by which Jefferson attempted to combine aesthetics with utility. Frank E. Grizzard, Jr., a former scholar at the University, has written the definitive book on the original academic buildings at the University.
On October 27, 1895, the Rotunda burned to a shell because of an electrical fire that started in the Rotunda Annex, a long multi-story structure built in 1853 to house additional classrooms. The electrical fire was no doubt assisted by the unfortunate help of overzealous faculty member William "Reddy" Echols, who attempted to save it by throwing roughly 100 pounds (45 kg) of dynamite into the main fire in the hopes that the blast would separate the burning Annex from Mr. Jefferson's own Rotunda. His last-ditch effort ultimately failed. (Perhaps ironically, one of the University's main honors student programs is named for him.) University officials swiftly approached celebrity architect Stanford White to rebuild the Rotunda. White took the charge further, disregarding Mr. Jefferson's design and redesigning the Rotunda interior — making it two floors instead of three, adding three buildings to the foot of the Lawn, and designing a President's House. He did omit rebuilding the Rotunda Annex, the remnants of which were used as fill and to create part of the modern-day Rotunda's northern-facing plaza. The classes formerly occupying the Annex were now moved to the South Lawn in White's new buildings.
Although undoubtedly useful to the University in providing additional classroom space, and not unattractive, if pedestrian in comparison to the Jeffersonian Pavilions, the White buildings have the effect of closing off the sweeping perspective, as originally conceived by Jefferson, down the Lawn across open countryside toward the distant mountains. The White buildings at the foot of the Lawn effectively create a huge "quadrangle", albeit one far grander than any traditional college quadrangle at the University of Cambridge or University of Oxford .
In concert with the United States Bicentennial in 1976, Stanford White's changes to the Rotunda were removed and the building was returned to Jefferson's original design. Renovated according to original sketches and historical photographs, a three-story Rotunda opened on Jefferson's birthday, April 13, 1976.
Though student enrollment has grown well beyond the original Lawn facilities, the University further distinguishes itself by extending the original Academical Village ideal with two exclusively First-Year (freshman) living areas: The Old Dorms (Bonnycastle, Dabney, Echols, Emmet, Hancock, Humphreys, Kent, Lefevre, Metcalf, Page), located on McCormick Road, and The New Dorms (Cauthen, Courtenay, Dunglison, Dunnington, Fitzhugh, Kellogg, Lile, Maupin, Tuttle, Webb, Woody), adjacent to Scott Stadium , both situated wholly on Grounds and considered integral to establishing peer discourse. The common bonding experience proves such a fixture to the University experience, students often identify themselves by individual "Old" or "New" dormitory. First-Year living areas also include Hereford College, International Residential College, and Brown College at Monroe Hill.
In 2001, John Kluge donated 7,378 acres (30 km2) of additional lands to the University. Kluge desired the core of the land to be developed by the University, and the surrounding land to be sold to fund an endowment supporting the core. A large part of the gift was soon sold to musician Dave Matthews, of the Dave Matthews Band, to be utilized in an organic farming project. It is unknown what the University will do with its "core" portion of the land.
The Virginia Department of Transportation maintains the roads through the University grounds as State Route 302.
Nearly two decades later, in 1958, Senator John F. Kennedy visited and spoke in the same space with brothers Robert Kennedy and Ted Kennedy, the latter of whom was managing JFK's 1958 Senatorial re-election campaign from his dormitory at the University of Virginia.
In the early 1960s, civil rights leaders Martin Luther King, Jr., James Farmer, Aaron Henry, Bayard Rustin, and others spoke at the University under the sponsorship of the Virginia Council on Human Relations, a student organization which presented speakers on Grounds who opposed the state's prevailing policy of racial segregation. John Lewis, Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee spoke in 1965 while his head was still bandaged from a police beating he received leading the first march from Selma.
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech at Old Cabell Hall in 1963 met with no resistance of any kind among the student body or administration. He called for a doubling of black registrations at universities in the American South. African-American enrollment has since been increased tenfold at the University. Five years later in 1968, when King was shot, the Rotunda flag was flown at half-mast and then-President of the University Edgar Shannon, Jr. led a U.Va. memorial service in Cabell Hall. All classes at U.Va. were made optional during the service.
To commemorate the United States Bicentennial in 1976, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II strolled the Lawn and lunched in the Dome Room of the Rotunda, one of five American sites she publicly visited.
The Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and several other Nobel Peace laureates stayed on Grounds for one week in 1998 while attending the University's historic Nobel Laureates Conference.
Admission to the University of Virginia is very competitive. A December 2005 National Bureau of Economic Research study of "high-achieving" undergraduate applicants found U.Va., at twentieth overall, to be the most preferred college located in the state of Virginia, some twenty-three spots ahead of Washington and Lee University , and the second-most preferred in the American South, just one spot behind Duke University . The study also revealed the University to be the most preferred public university in the entire United States, placing five spots above both the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, Berkeley . The stated purpose of the NBER study was to produce a ranking system that "would be difficult for a college to manipulate" by basing it on the actual demonstrated preferences of highly meritorious students.
Three leading American universities — Harvard , Princeton , and Virginia — announced in September 2006 that they were discontinuing their Early Decision or Early Action rounds of admission in an effort to promote economic diversity in their student bodies. Early Decision programs force a student to accept an offer of admission before evaluating the financial aid offers of various universities, while Early Action entails no commitment upfront but may also prevent a comparison of offers before making a decision. The College Board states that an applicant "should not apply under an Early Decision or Action plan if he plans to weigh offers and financial aid packages from several colleges later in the spring."
Through the 2006-2007 admissions cycle, 30% of each class at the University was made up of Early Decision applicants. Financially, their families were far wealthier than those of other students at the University. In the most recent year, only 1 student received a full financial aid package under the AccessUVa program out of 947 students who were accepted under Early Decision. Less than 2% of Early Decision candidates applied for any financial aid at all.
During the 2008 admissions cycle, there was no early round at the University for the first time since the 1960s and all undergraduate applications were due on one date. The University again received a record number of applications despite eliminating the Early Decision admissions round.
For the Class of 2011, the University of Virginia received a record 18,013 applications.The University saw increased interest from various groups of students, as applications rose by 13 percent for African American applicants, 20 percent for Asian Americans, 16 percent for Hispanic American, and 26 percent for international students. The University enrolled 70 more first-years than it did the previous year, as it continued to expand the scope of the School of Engineering and Applied Science .
Another record was established for the Class of 2012, with 18,776 applications for 3,170 spots. Applications rose for each of the four undergraduate schools that accept first-year students into their programs: Architecture, Arts & Sciences, Engineering, and Nursing.
The Class of 2013 saw a tremendous increase to yet another new record high of 21,511 applications. 29% of applicants were accepted. The University continued to see interest from an increasingly diverse pool, as applications increased by another 22 percent for African American students, 56 percent for Hispanic students, 50 percent for international students, and 100 percent for Native Americans.
Degrees from the University of Virginia must be earned academically – there has never been an honorary degree offered. The policy was instituted by Thomas Jefferson. When the Virginia Legislature's Committee of Schools and Colleges was reconsidering it in 1845, then-U.Va. professor and future Massachusetts Institute of Technology founder William Barton Rogers wrote, "[T]he legislators of the University have, we think, wisely made their highest academic honor—that of Master of Arts of the University of Virginia—the genuine test of diligent and successful literary training, and, disdaining such literary almsgiving, have firmly barred the door against the demands of spurious merit and noisy popularity." When MIT was chartered in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1861, Rogers carried the U.Va. policy through to the new institute.
The University of Virginia places #1 among state-supported universities in the United States in the production of Rhodes Scholars. The University's 46th Rhodes Scholar was named in 2009.
Tuition is lower for both in-state and out-of-state students than at most other top universities. The student composition of the University is such that it was described in a feature article in the 2006 America's Best Colleges edition of U.S. News and World Report as being "chock full of academic stars who turn down private schools like Duke , Princeton , and Cornell for, they say, a better value." Indeed, in 2008 the Center for College Affordability and Productivity named the University the top value among all national public colleges and universities; and in 2009, the University was again named the "#1 Best Value" among public universities in the United States in a separate ranking by USA TODAY and the Princeton Review.
In 2009, U.S. News & World Report ranked the University of Virginia as the number two public university among "National Universities" in the United States.In the 2010 edition, the undergraduate program at U.Va. ranked #2 out of roughly 200 public universities in the United States and #24 overall (including private schools). In the 26-year history of the rankings, U.Va. has never dropped out of the Top 25 listing and has always ranked either #1 or #2 among public schools. In every published edition of the report going back to 1983, the undergraduate program at the University has also retained its position as the highest ranked school, public or private, in its home state of Virginia.
U.Va. has been recognized numerous times as having the highest African American graduation rate among public universities, and by a wide margin. Among the Top Four public universities that consistently rank highest in the ubiquitous U.S. News rankings, the University of Virginia has an 87% black student graduation rate, some 15 to 20 percentage points higher than the 70% at the University of California, Berkeley , 68% at the University of Michigan , and 73% at UCLA . In addition, due in part to California Proposition 209 and the Michigan Proposal 2, the University also has much higher African American populations than these peer universities. The University of Virginia has an undergraduate student body that is 8.7% African American, while the University of California undergraduate student bodies at Berkeley and UCLA are just 3.2% and 3.7% African American, respectively. Only 5.2% of University of Michigan undergraduates are African American. Thus, relative to its closest peers, the University of Virginia has twice to three times the proportion of African American undergraduate students, and they go on to graduate at significantly higher rates.
The University of Virginia has many highly regarded graduate programs. Programs ranked in their respective fields' top 10 by U.S. News & World Report include Law, Tax Law, International Law, 18th through 20th Century British Literature, African-American Literature, American Literature, American Literature Before 1865, U.S. Colonial History, Political Theory, Developmental Psychology, Adult/Medical-Surgical Nursing, Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing, Management, Elementary Teacher Education, Secondary Teacher Education, and Special Education.
The Jefferson Scholars Foundation offers four year full-tuition scholarships based on regional, international, and at-large competitions. Students are nominated by their high schools, interviewed, then invited to weekend-long series of tests of character, aptitude, and general suitability. Approximately 3% of those nominated successfully earn the scholarship.
Echols Scholars (College of Arts and Sciences) and Rodman Scholars (School of Engineering and Applied Sciences), which include 6-7% of undergraduate students, receive no financial benefits, but are entitled to special advisors, priority course registration, residence in designated dorms and fewer curricular constraints than other students.
The University offers 48 bachelor's degrees, 94 master's degrees, 55 doctoral degrees, 6 educational specialist degrees, and 2 first-professional degrees (Medicine and Law) to its students.
The University of Virginia Library System holds 5 million volumes. Its Electronic Text Center, established in 1992, has put 70,000 books online as well as 350,000 images that go with them. No university in the world can claim more electronic texts. These e-texts are open to anyone and, , were receiving 37,000 daily visits (compared to 6,000 daily visitors to the physical libraries).
The University of Virginia is a member of a consortium engaged in the construction and operation of the Large Binocular Telescope in the Mount Graham International Observatory of the Pinaleno Mountains of southeastern Arizona . It is also a member of both the Astrophysical Research Consortium, which operates telescopes at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico , and the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy which operates the National Optical Astronomy Observatory, the Gemini Observatory and the Space Telescope Science Institute . The University of Virginia hosts the headquarters of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, which operates the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and the Very Large Array radio telescope made famous in the Carl Sagan television documentary Cosmos and film Contact. The North American Atacama Large Millimeter Array Science Center is also located at the Charlottesville NRAO site.
UVA also hosts the Rare Book School, a non-profit organization that studies the history of books and printing. The University is one of 60 elected members of the Association of American Universities, and the only member representing the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is the United States' sole member of Universitas 21, an international consortium of research-intensive universities. On May 14, 2007, University President John Casteen was named Chairman of the Board of the organization.
In 2003, The Wall Street Journal studied the undergraduate backgrounds of entering students at "elite" graduate programs. The University of Virginia with 82 placements (2.6% of class) placed 33rd overall and third among all state-supported universities in elite graduate placement. No other state university on the Atlantic Seaboard had greater than one-third the number of placements as the University of Virginia (e.g., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill had 26 placements, Georgia Institute of Technology had 20).
The University of Virginia possesses a distinguished faculty, including a Nobel Laureate, 25 Guggenheim fellows, 26 Fulbright fellows, six National Endowment for the Humanities fellows, two Presidential Young Investigator Award winners, three Sloan award winners, three Packard Foundation Award winners, and a winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The University's faculty were particularly instrumental in the evolution of Internet networking and connectivity. Physics professor James McCarthy was the lead academic liaison to the government in the establishment of SURANET, and the University has also participated in ARPANET, Abilene, Internet2, and Lambda Rail. On March 19, 1986 the University's domain name, Virginia.edu, became the first registration under the .edu top-level domain originating from the Commonwealth of Virginia .
Faculty were originally housed in the Academical Village among the students, serving as both instructors and advisors, continuing on to include the McCormick Road Old Dorms, though this has been phased out in favor of undergraduate student resident advisors (RAs). Several of the faculty, however, continue the University tradition of living on Grounds, either on the Lawn in the various Pavilions, or as fellows at one of three residential colleges (Brown College at Monroe Hill, Hereford College, and the International Residential College).
Some of the University of Virginia's faculty have become well-known national personalities during their time in Charlottesville. Larry Sabato has, according to The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, become the most cited professor in the country by national and regional news organizations, both on the Internet and in print. Julian Bond, a lecturer at the University since 1990, has been the Chairman of the NAACP since 1998. Media Studies and Law professor Siva Vaidhyanathan, an expert in copyright law and Internet issues, moved from New York University to the University of Virginia in 2007. Spanish professor David Gies received the Order of Isabella the Catholic from King Juan Carlos I of Spain in 2007.
Beginning in 2002, the Cavalier Daily student newspaper has posted faculty compensation online annually.
The University is also endowed with several affiliated centers including the Rare Book School, Center for Chemistry of the Universe, headquarters of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, University of Virginia Center for Politics, Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership, and Miller Center of Public Affairs.The University of Virginia Art Museum is dedicated to creating an environment where both the University community and the general public can study and learn from directly experiencing works of art.
Managed by the University of Virginia Investment Management Company, and with $4.11 billion as of August 31, 2009 for 20,391 full-time students, the University of Virginia has a per capita endowment of $202,000 per student; this is the largest per capita endowment of any public university in the United States. Considering public university endowments across the country, the University of Michigan ($122,000) is second to U.Va. among national publics in per capita endowment funds. Both are in the top 5 for recent growth rates nationwide.
When compared to other public universities in its home state, the per-student endowment at the University of Virginia is several times larger than its nearest competitors, the College of William and Mary ($73,000 per student) and Virginia Tech ($16,000). It is also several times larger than the highest among flagship institutions of nearby states, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ($55,000) and University of Maryland at College Park ($8,600).
The University of Virginia is one of only two public universities in the U.S. that have a Triple-A credit rating from all three major credit rating agencies, along with the University of Texas at Austin . This allows it to borrow money and fund projects with the best possible conditions and terms.
The University of Virginia's athletics program competes in Division I (and the Football Bowl Subdivision for football) and since 1953 as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The current Athletic Director at Virginia is Craig Littlepage. The Virginia Cavaliers, also called "Wahoos" or "Hoos", have won 19 recognized national championships, 14 of them since 1980. Virginia has won multiple national titles in five different sports, including three men's sports (lacrosse, 6; soccer, 5; and boxing, 2) and two women's sports (lacrosse, 3; and cross country, 2). It also holds a national championship in track and field. The men's college basketball team has won either the ACC regular season (1981, 1982, 1983, 1995, 2007) or ACC Tournament (1976) titles six times and has been to the Final Four twice, while the women's squad has been three times.
The college football team won a share of the ACC Championship in both 1989 and 1995 (both before the conference had a championship game). After never reaching a bowl before 1984, the team has played in 17 bowl games since. The program is also notable for its recent high draft picks in the National Football League, including the #4 overall pick of 2006, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, and the #2 overall pick of 2008, Chris Long. The program is a party to three major rivalry games in the conference: the longest series in the ACC, the South's Oldest Rivalry with North Carolina; the Commonwealth Cup with Virginia Tech (part of the greater Virginia-Virginia Tech rivalry); and the Beltway Brawl with Maryland. While the Cavaliers have played UNC more times (114) than any other rival, all of these opponents – North Carolina, Virginia Tech, and Maryland – each list Virginia as their schools' longest-standing football rivals.
In 2006, Virginia's latest National Championship season culminated with its fourth NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship, and sixth including the pre-tournament era. Virginia handily won the final game 15-7 over UMass in front of a record crowd of 47,062 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia , the first lacrosse crowd to surpass the Final Four of men's basketball and the largest crowd to witness any NCAA Championship during the year. The team finished the season a perfect 17–0, the best record in NCAA Lacrosse history.
The new John Paul Jones Arena opened in the fall of 2006 for men's and women's basketball. It seats 14,593 fans, making it the third largest on-campus basketball facility in the ACC and the largest arena not located in a major metropolitan area. The arena's inaugural year witnessed the Virginia men's basketball team's first place finish in the ACC.
Davenport Field , where the UVa baseball team plays, is also new, opening in 2002. In Brian O'Connor's first 4 seasons at the helm after being made the head baseball coach in July 2003, the team has averaged 44 wins per year and become a nationally-ranked power. The team has led the ACC in team ERA for 4 consecutive years. In 2009, the baseball team won a place in the College World Series for the first time.
The soccer teams are also national powers, with men's soccer having won 5 national championships to date. The women's team is regularly ranked in the top 5 nationally. The teams play their home matches at Klöckner Stadium , the largest soccer stadium in the ACC. The men's team has been invited to the NCAA Tournament for 26 consecutive years.
The Aquatics and Fitness Center ( webcam) has been popular among University students for working out and swimming since its opening in Fall 1996, and it is also where the Swimming & Diving teams compete in home meets. The men's swimming and diving team won 8 consecutive ACC Championships between 1999 and 2006.
Also winning consecutive ACC titles has been the men's tennis team, which has won 4 consecutive regular season ACC Championships. Playing their home matches at the Sheridan Snyder Tennis Center , the men's tennis team had their best season ever in 2007, finishing with a 30-4 record and a #2 national ranking. Somdev Devvarman became the first ACC player in conference history to win the NCAA Singles Championship, which he won in two consecutive years. In addition, the tennis team beat Ohio State for the 2008 National Indoor Tennis Championships, 4-1.
Now that Virginia Tech has joined the ACC, the Virginia-Virginia Tech rivalry has been strengthened across a number of sports. This rivalry between the University and its larger neighbor to the southwest is followed statewide. UVA's athletic teams have bested the Hokies through the years in many of the major sports. The two universities also faced off in the Commonwealth Challenge between 2005 and 2007, with the Cavaliers routing the Hokies in each Challenge: 14.5 to 7.5 in 2005-2006 and 14 to 8 in 2006-2007. The competition was then dropped out of sensitivity following the Virginia Tech massacre .
The Cavalier Song is the official fight song of the University of Virginia. The song was a result of a contest held in 1923 by the University. The Cavalier Song, with lyrics by Lawrence Haywood Lee, Jr. and music by Fulton Lewis, Jr., was selected as the winner. Generally the second half of the song is played during sporting events. Until the 2008 football season, the entire fight song could be heard during the Cavalier Marching Band's entrance at home football games.
Student life at the University of Virginia is marked by a number of unique traditions. The campus of the University is referred to as "the Grounds." Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are instead called first-, second-, third-, and fourth-years in order to reflect Jefferson's belief that learning is a never-ending process, rather than one to be completed within four years. Also, students do not "graduate" from the University - instead they "take" their degrees. Professors are traditionally addressed as "Mr." or "Ms." instead of "Doctor" (although medical doctors are the exception and are called "Doctor") in deference to Thomas Jefferson's desire to have an equality of ideas, discriminated by merit and unburdened by title.
In 2005, the University was named "Hottest for Fitness" by Newsweek magazine, due in part to 94% of its students using one of the four indoor athletics facilities. Particularly popular is the Aquatics and Fitness Center, situated across the street from the Alderman Dorms.
The University of Virginia sent more workers to the Peace Corps in 2006 and 2008 than any other "medium-sized" university in the United States. Volunteerism at the University is centered in Madison House, which offers numerous opportunities to serve others. Among the numerous programs offered are tutoring, housing improvement, and an organization called Hoos Against Hunger, which gives leftover food made at restaurants to Charlottesville's homeless rather than allowing it to be thrown away.
A number of secret societies at the University, most notably the Seven Society, Z Society, and IMP Society, have operated for decades, leaving their painted marks on University buildings. Other significant secret societies include Eli Banana, T.I.L.K.A., the Purple Shadows (who commemorate Jefferson's birthday shortly after dawn on the Lawn each April 13), The Sons of Liberty, and the 21 Society. Not all the secret societies keep their membership unknown, but even those who don't hide their identities generally keep most of their good works and activities far from the public eye.
Student Societies have existed on grounds since the early 19th Century. The Jefferson Literary and Debating Society, founded in 1825, is the oldest collegiate debating organization in the United States, and the second oldest Greek-Lettered organization in the nation. It continues to meet every Friday at 7:29 PM in Jefferson Hall. The Washington Literary Society and Debating Union also meets every week, and the two organizations often engage in a friendly rivalry. In the days before social fraternities existed and intercollegiate athletics became popular, these Societies were often the focal point of social activity on grounds. Several fraternities were later founded at the University of Virginia including Pi Kappa Alpha (March 1, 1868) and Kappa Sigma (December 10, 1869). Many of these fraternities are located on Rugby Road .
The student life building on the University of Virginia is called Newcomb Hall. It is home to the Student Activities Center, where student groups can get leadership consulting and use computing and copying resources, as well as several meeting rooms for student groups. Most publications on grounds are produced here, as it is home to both the office of the independent student newspaper The Declaration, The Cavalier Daily, and the Consortium of University Publications. It is also home to the University Programs Council, which uses money from student activities fees to provide events for the student community. Newcomb Hall includes a dining hall, a theatre, a ballroom, an art gallery, and several rooms for magazine and newspaper production.
A national publication's survey recently revealed that U.Va.'s students give their library system higher marks than students at any other school in the United States. The best-known library is Alderman Library for the humanities and social sciences, which contains 10 floors of stacks with many useful study nooks hidden among them. U.Va.'s renowned Small Special Collections Library feature one of the premier collections of American Literature in the country as well as an original copy of the Declaration of Independence. It was in this library in 2006 that Robert Stilling, an English Graduate Student, discovered an unpublished Robert Frost poem from 1918. Clemons Library, next to Alderman, is a popular study spot. Hundreds of students can be found gathered on its various quiet floors on any given night. Clark Hall, home of the Science & Engineering Library, also scores high marks. Clark Hall is also notable for a large Greek-style mural on the ceiling and walls of the library entrance. , the University and Google were working on the digitization of selected collections from the library system.
As at many universities, alcohol use is a part of the social life of many undergraduate students at the University. Responding to the prevalence of alcohol and a recent tradition observed by a portion of the student body called the Fourth-Year Fifth (where some fourth-year students strive to drink a fifth (750 ml) of alcohol during the day of the last home football game), President Casteen announced a $2.5 million donation from Anheuser-Busch to fund a new UVA-based Social Norms Institute in September 2006. A spokesman said: "the goal is to get students to emulate the positive behavior of the vast majority of students."
One of the largest events at the University of Virginia is called Springfest. It takes place every year in the spring, and features a large free concert and various inflatables and games.
Another popular event is Foxfield, a steeplechase and social gathering that takes place nearby in Albemarle County in April, and which is annually attended by thousands of students from the University of Virginia and neighboring colleges.
On my honor as a student, I have neither given nor received aid on this assignment/examination.
The University of Virginia has an honor code, formally known as the Honor System. The Honor System is entirely student-run and was founded by Virginia students in 1842 after John A. G. Davis, chairman of the faculty and professor of law, who was attempting to resolve a conflict between students, was shot to death. Originally, the student was expected to hold himself to a gentleman's code of conduct. In the wake of the shooting, law professor Henry St. George Tucker, Sr. proposed a basic honor pledge as a gesture of confidence in the honor of Virginia students. In modern times however, the Honor System is composed of only three tenets: a student will not lie, cheat, or steal. It extends to all matters academic and personal, and the sole sanction for a confirmed Honor System violation is dismissal from the University. This is called the "single sanction".
The system is not without its detractors — it has been criticized because the required severe penalty may prevent more moderate violations from being reported or acted upon. As the system is entirely student run, a change to the Honor Committee constitution could have the effect of ending the single sanction system of punishment. Although students have voted on numerous proposals to weaken or eliminate the single sanction over the past few decades, none has ever succeeded. Support for the honor system has waned in recent years, and in the Spring of 2007 a referendum to limit single sanction failed to pass by the necessary 60% margin after earning only 49.5% of the votes cast.
In theory, the Honor System allows the faculty to do such things as assign timed take-home examinations, and research or studies to be done in a particular way, with the assurance that the strictures placed on the student will be observed. However, no professor is required to extend such courtesies. The student is often required to sign all examinations or assignments with the following pledge: "On my honor as a student, I have neither given nor received aid on this assignment/examination." The Honor System allows the student to purchase books and supplies on-Grounds upon giving his or her word to pay, and some members of the Charlottesville community accept the word of the student regarding off-Grounds business transactions.
While cheating is relatively rare (24 students were dismissed during the 2003 academic year, and 21 more were dismissed in 2004), one large cheating scandal occurred in 2001. Physics professor and Hereford College Dean Louis Bloomfield, based on a student's complaint, had suspicions that some of his students had copied portions of their term papers from fraternity archives in his Introduction to Physics class. After devising a computer program to detect copied phrases of at least six sequential words, over 150 students were accused of plagiarizing or allowing others to plagiarize their work over the previous five semesters. Although over 100 of these students were eventually exonerated, 48 students either admitted guilt or were convicted, and were therefore dismissed from the University. Three of these students had already graduated, and their degrees were subsequently revoked.
Among the individuals who have attended or graduated from the University of Virginia are writer Edgar Allan Poe, medical researcher Walter Reed, painter Georgia O'Keeffe, polar explorer Richard Byrd, four NASA astronauts (Patrick G. Forrester, Karl Gordon Henize, Bill Nelson, and Kathryn C. Thornton), NASA Launch Director Michael D. Leinbach, Pulitzer Prizewinning poets Karl Shapiro and Henry S. Taylor, Director of the Human Genome Project Francis Collins, journalist Katie Couric, author David Nolan, comedian Tina Fey, author Barbara A. Perry, musician Boyd Tinsley, 3-time NCAA Player of the Year for men's basketball Ralph Sampson, pro wrestler Virgil, 3-time Olympic Gold Medalist for women's basketball Dawn Staley, NFL Pro Bowlers Ronde Barber and Tiki Barber, Buffalo Bills founder and owner Ralph Wilson, billionaire commodity trader Paul Tudor Jones, noted philanthropist and founder of Landmark Communications Frank Batten, influential indie rock artist Stephen Malkmus, TV personality Vern Yip, short story writer Breece D'J Pancake, Indian tennis sensation Somdev Devvarman, and Ryan Zimmerman, the 2005 first round pick of the Washington Nationals. The University of Virginia has been home to several top soccer players throughout the years — seven former U.Va. players have gone on to play for the United States men's national soccer team, including former USA team captains Claudio Reyna and John Harkes.
Numerous political leaders have also attended the University of Virginia, including the 28th President of the United States Woodrow Wilson, U.S. Senator and 1968 Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, his son Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and his brother, Senator Ted Kennedy. Other alumni in leadership roles include three United States Supreme Court Justices , Governor William Meade Fishback, two Surgeons General, a Speaker of the House, a Senate Majority Leader, numerous Senators and Representatives, Secretaries of State, Defense, Homeland Security, Treasury, Energy, Transportation, and the Navy, and the Secretary General of both NATO and the Council of the European Union.

Also: Tory MPs lead the charge against prosecutions of ex-servicemen who served in Ulster; Ulster Unionist leader savages DUP; and more.
The next leader must be someone able to woo the unconverted and broaden the Tory tent. As Mayor, he was that candidate. But is he still?
Also: SNP insist on leading Holyrood inquiry into Sturgeon’s handling of Salmond allegations; and Ulster Unionists call for Direct Rule in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
A party which usually operates with an almost eerie level of phalanx-like discipline is struggling to contain a split at the very top.
If you’d had to guess which of their MPs would rebel on the deal, Lamont and Ross wouldn’t have made the top six.

So, OK, I've got a new SYS site developing w/Clean Theme and NextGen Gallery. I know how to upload a few images at a time to NGG via the website and get them into galleries/pages/slideshows on the site, but I really need to be able to FTP larger batches. Otherwise, I'll never get this done.
My FTP connection to the site is good, and the images appear to be uploading to my new site just as they do to SS, FT, DT, etc. Problem is, I can't find the images once I've uploaded them.
Or maybe I should say... I don't know where to put the images I upload. Do I set up a file specifically for them? If so, what and where?? I've tried but each time WP tells me such-and-such a file does not exist. This is not very intuitive.
Is anybody who's dealt with this willing to share a tip or two?
Thanks, and my apologies if this has already been answered somewhere. I sometimes feel rather lost in the Forum.
Then you find them in the WP Dashboard section under Royalty Free Images > Process Uploads.
Ron, you are wonderful!! Thank you so very much.
Well, Ron, I was ecstatic about that for a while until I realized just now that I still don't have a clue where to find (or create) that file (/www/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/plupload/uploads).
Can you (or anybody else) please tell me that? No rush... at your leisure, but I'll be grateful for a smidge more help with this.
BTW, by doing a Google search on that file I did find the previous thread about this in the Forum. But most of the info was so technical that it didn't help me at all.
but in dreamweaver i dont put the home3/cathysl1 because the root folder for wp is public_html. Hope this helps.
Edit: so put /public_html/ in the blank in your ftp app for the directory. Once you connect to your server, you will be able to see the wp-content folder and follow the path to find the correct folder to put them in.
Tinny, your question is a good one. I am trying to upload images for licensing and I thought NextGen Gallery was the way to do that. If it's not, them I'm even more scrambled up on this than I thought.
Somewhere in the set-up instructions (or maybe elsewhere on the Forum? ... all the advice is starting to muddle in my mind), Leo says to get NextGen Gallery. That was the first time I'd heard of it, so being a diligent student, I got it. Assumed that was the way to incorporate images into the site. Maybe not??? Is it possible to do that strictly through the SYS software?
I haven't gotten far enough along to have an actual sales page on my site, and I've been assuming the SYS theme would give me that capability. But I thought I needed to get the images in some other way, and NGG was one way to do that.
This is especially frustrating since I currently run 3 other WP websites (based on 2 different themes) and had no problems setting them up. I assumed this would go up as smoothly as those others did. It must be the complication of adding large numbers of large images for commercial use that's making this more challenging.
It helps to know others have gone through this before me and worked it out nicely. Thanks, everybody, for your logistical help and moral support!
You don't have to use NextGen Gallery, no. I am not using it. I use the uploader on the left side of the page (I am not uploading massive quantities at once so I don't currently use FTP...maybe in the future tho) and the ImageMagick software does the processing. The images go into the SY theme image page automatically. There are some people using NextGen, but I don't know what the advantages are.
If you use ftp, you drop them into the folder discussed above, then go the wp admin area and process them just as you would if you had used the admin uploader. ftp just allows you to get large quantities there faster.
Yes, uploading large numbers of large images make the SY theme a little bit different than other WP sites. We have all been "learning" to set up our sites, and the project has grown so fast, that information is scattered about and for a new person setting up a site, it's frustrating. Amanda and a couple of others are trying to get everything organized into one place to make things a little more simple.
Cathy, your personal approach is actually quite helpful. Maybe if I quit trying to figure out NextGen Gallery and stick with trying to figure out SYS, at least for now, things will go more smoothly. That old KISS principle has value, ya'know!
And yes... Amanda has given me some good help in private emails, plus her documentation is good. So let me take this opportunity to thank her publicly here.
I'm not complaining about anything related to SYS and the MSG Forums. I've learned a whole lot from cruising around these threads, and I'm excited about the potential for the SYS network. It's going to be a powerful player in this field in future years. I'm confident of that.
In the FWIW category: I'm an active member of another "indie cooperative" group, the Historical Fiction Authors Cooperative, or HFAC. (If you're curious, visit http://hfebooks.com/ -- where I'm the webmaster.) HFAC started several years ago as the publishing industry was in full-throttle change-over from the old business model toward self-publishing. The parallels between indie writers and indie photographers/artists are remarkable, and they're happening for exactly the same reasons. I could expound more on that, but this is not the proper place for it.
I didn't take it that way. I had set up a few other Wordpress sites before tackling this one, so some of it was familiar, but I went through many frustrating days for about 3 weeks before I finally got my site looking like it is. And it could still be improved. And I agree. The potential is mind-staggering. I hope it works out well.
Maybe if I quit trying to figure out NextGen Gallery and stick with trying to figure out SYS, at least for now, things will go more smoothly.
That might be the way to go. Upload a few, look around, get your site the way you want it. By then you will have mucked around enough to where the ftp thing might be a little easier. I usually upload 10 at a time, but I think others do way more than that with no issues. It seems to be a little different for everyone.
I have heard of the similarities between writers and photographers before. I can imagine they are just as frustrated. Maybe they could alter the SY theme to work for writers, and the two could be networked together?
Yes, sorry if I didn't jump into this earlier - I was going to say the same about NextGen gallery. That plugin is purely intended to be able to create a page with some display of your best images, or a selection of your portfolio in a slide show, slider format etc. It is completely optional to the Symbio theme. From what I recall, you upload your images for use in NextGen (which may be ones you have sized differently for instance) into one of the normal image upload folders in WP and then point Nextgen at them.
I did try an image slider on my site in the early days, but it is one more piece to load, only appeared (in my case) on the home page and I decided that a fast simple site that moved people to buying an image was better than expecting people to sit there looking at some nice pictures in a slide show. I want people who have a specific need in mind, find it quickly and buy it. The chance of them seeing a nice shot on a slide show and think "I need to buy that" is miniscule for my portfolio.
I have been in limbo about that as well, an like you, decided to just make a stock selling site. Simple as possible but looking professional. But SYS is good enough to built a second site and just make it an art piece on its own for just showing eye candy.
SYS is good enough to built a second site and just make it an art piece on its own for just showing eye candy.
Good point - I currently have a Smugmug site that I put (when I get round to it) my fine art photos onto. Once the paid period expires, I think I may try to create a fine art site using Symbio and some of the gallery/slide show plugins that are around.
You guys have convinced me! I'll work out my needs on SYS and put NGG on the backburner. I wasn't aiming at any kind of fancy slider anyway. Prefer the cleanest look possible. Maybe later, I'll do the "eye candy" add-on site, but not now.
Thanks, all. I'm looking forward to getting this done and becoming a full partner in the SYS network. So many great sites (and images!) there already. Good things lie ahead.
just when I thought I had a chance of catching up on my reading! toured your website and just bought Rubies of the Viper. have you been able to visit many of the places in your book?
I've never been to Antioch or Dapnhe. Jealous of you for that! A small-but-important section of my novel is set there, so I think you'll get a kick out of that when you get to that part. It was the most challenging part to write (because the culture was so different), but also the part I personally like the best now.
That's good to know. I've been plugging away on my site all afternoon, having success with the SYS upload system. Still got a loooooong way to go, but there's progress to report.
OT: Yep! Read it about 20 years ago and loved it. Need to get it out again for a re-read.
I know I'm a day late and a dollar short but I finally got the uploading guide written here: http://www.symbioguides.com/getting-started/uploading-images/ if anyone else stumbles on this topic hopefully it is helpful.
how to add images to a gallery ?

Seventh Generation is a private American company headquartered in Burlington, Vt. The company was initially a mail-order catalog, but its line of cleaning, paper, and personal care products designed has been available in supermarkets and big box stores for a while now. Unilever has recently announced their plan to acquire Seventh Generation.
The company is all about creating plant-based, natural, and biodegradable solutions that not only protect the health of homes, families, and the environment, but that work as well. Their mission is to leave the world a better place than how they found it.
The name “Seventh Generation” is derived from an old Iroquois law that demands prudence and responsibility from today’s generation: Basically, we must consider what the impact of everything we do will have on the next seven generations. Living that principle, Seventh Generation manufactures products that won’t hurt the environment we leave behind to our children.
Since it was founded in 1988 by Jeffrey Hollender and Alan Newman, Seventh Generation has placed an emphasis on conservation and sustainability, formulating plant-based consumer goods and using recycled and post-consumer materials to package those goods.
While popular, name-brand cleaning products contain synthetic, and often dangerous toxic chemicals, Seventh Generation uses biodegradable formulas in its cleaning products. Their hand soaps, detergents, and other formulas are derived from plants, hypoallergenic, and contain food-grade preservatives. They do not contain phosphates, chlorine, triclosan, phosphates, synthetic fragrances or dyes.
Seventh Generation products are reasonably priced for how high quality they are, but they do cost more than the cheap, bargain brands.
Although Seventh Generation is a private company, industry reports indicate that it has experienced tremendous financial success over the last few decades. Now more than ever, consumers want natural solutions for various household chores, and they want to do what’s best for the environment. As a result, Seventh Generation is positioned perfectly in today’s marketplace.
While you can find most Seventh Generation products at the store, their website is worth checking out thanks to a wealth of additional helpful information. Are you looking for simple steps to improve the air quality in your home or office? Want to learn how to create natural fall scents? You’ll find these and other tips on green living on the company’s website.
The website also features a handy ingredient glossary to help consumers better understand what goes into Seventh Generation’s formulas. Most companies don’t want you know what their ingredients are or what they do; however, Seventh Generation believes consumers have a right to know what exactly goes into the products they use—especially in the home.
For more information about Seventh Generation and its products, visit SeventhGeneration.com.
Seventh Generation competes with companies like The Honest Company, Burt’s Bees and Melaleuca.

What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in 79968?
Residential clean outs generally don't require big dumpsters. The size that you simply require, however, will depend on the size of the project.
If you plan to clean out the whole house, then you probably need a 20-yard roll off dumpster. You could likewise use this size for a big basement or attic clean out.
When choosing a dumpster, though, it's frequently advisable to request a size bigger than what you think you will need. Unless you're a professional, it's difficult to estimate the precise size required for your job. By getting a slightly bigger size, you spend a little more money, however you also avoid the possibility that you will run out of room. Renting a bigger dumpster is almost always cheaper than renting two small ones.
It is hard to conquer a roll off dumpster when you have a large project that will create plenty of debris. Most rental companies comprise dropping off and picking up the dumpster in the prices, in order to prevent additional fees. Roll off dumpsters normally have time constraints because businesses need to get them back for other customers. This really is a possible drawback if you aren't great at meeting deadlines.
Dumpster totes are often convenient for small occupations with loose deadlines. In the event you don't need a lot of room for debris, then the bags could work nicely for you. Many businesses are also happy to allow you to maintain the totes for as long as you want. That makes them useful for longer projects.
When you want to rent a dumpster in 79968 to use at your home, it is a great idea to keep several guidelines in mind. First, ascertain the size dumpster that can work best for your endeavor. Temporary dumpsters normally come in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. Then consider the positioning of the dumpster on your property. Recommendations call for you to provide an area that is double the width and height of the container. This will definitely ensure proper height and space clearance.
The price you are quoted for the container includes a one time delivery and pickup fee, together with standard fees for disposal, fuel and tax. You must also understand that you can only fill the container to the top; no debris should be sticking out. As the homeowner, you should also check to your local city or municipality to determine if a license is expected to put the container on the street.
Litter removal vs dumpster rental in 79968 - Which is right for you?
If you have a project you're going to undertake at home, you might be wondering if it is better to hire someone to come haul off all your rubbish and rubbish for you, or in the event you need to only rent a dumpster in 79968 and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better option in the event you prefer the flexibility to load it on your own time and you also do not mind doing it yourself to save on labour. Dumpsters also work nicely in the event you've at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Roll offs generally begin at 10 cubic yards, thus should you just have 3-4 yards of waste, you're paying for much more dumpster than you need.
Garbage or rubbish removal makes more sense in case you prefer somebody else to load your old items. Additionally, it works nicely should you prefer it to be taken away quickly so it is outside of your own hair or in the event you only have a few large things; this is likely cheaper than renting a whole dumpster.
What if I want my dumpster in 79968 picked up early?
When you make arrangements to rent a dumpster in 79968, part of your rental agreement includes a given duration of time you're permitted to use the container. You normally base this time on the length of time you think your project might take. The bigger the project, the the more time you will need the dumpster. Most dumpster rental firms in 79968 give you a rate for a particular amount of days. Should you exceed that quantity of days, you will pay an additional fee daily. In case the project goes more rapidly than expected, you may be ended with the dumpster earlier than you anticipated.
If this is the case, give the dumpster company a call and they'll probably come pick your container up early; this will enable them to rent it to someone else more immediately. You normally will not get a reduction on your rate should you ask for early pickup. Your rental fee includes 7 days (or whatever your term is), whether you use them all or not.
A front load dumpster has mechanical arms that that lift containers off the earth. The arms tip to pour the debris into the truck's dumpster. This is really a useful alternative for businesses that amass large amounts of garbage.
While roll off dumpsters are usually left on location, front load dumpsters will come pick up debris on a set schedule. This makes it possible for sterilization professionals to eliminate garbage and trash for multiple dwellings and businesses in the region at reasonable prices.
You can fill your dumpster as full as you like, provided that you do not load it higher compared to the sides of the container. Over filling the dumpster could cause the waste or debris to slide off as the dumpster is loaded onto the truck or as the truck is driving. Overloaded or heavy dumpsters are simply not safe, and companies WOn't carry dangerous loads as a way to safeguard drivers and passengers on the road.
In certain areas, dumpster loads must be tarped for security. In case your load is too high, it will not have the ability to be tarped so you may need to remove a number of the debris before it can be hauled away. This might lead to additional costs if it needs you to keep the dumpster for a longer amount of time. Remember to keep your load no higher compared to the sides of the dumpster, and you'll be good.
The amount of money that you spend renting a dumpster in 79968 will depend on several factors.
The quantity of time that you have to keep the dumpster rental in 79968 will also affect the cost. The more time you keep the dumpster, the further you can expect to pay.
Services are another consideration that could impact your overall cost. Many firms include services like dumpster drop off and pick up in their costs. Some companies, however, fee for these services. That makes it important for you to ask about any hidden fees.
Finally, you might need to pay higher costs for disposing of certain substances. In the event you would like to add tires or appliances to the dumpster, for instance, you can expect to pay slightly more.
When you rent a roll-off dumpster, you'll be enticed to throw anything and everything inside. Common things which individuals generally dispose of in a dumpster contain solid waste material and most routine household and construction waste, together with tree limbs and landscaping debris. They could also be used for business and commercial cleanouts, home renovations, getting rid of crap when you are moving to a new dwelling, bigger landscaping occupations and more.
A record of things you cannot set in a roll-off dumpster contains paints and solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides, chemicals, electronics and batteries. Should you attempt to contain these things, you'll probably get an extra fee. Other things which will certainly incur an additional fee include tires, mattresses and appliances. Additional heavy materials are also not enabled; things that are too heavy may exceed authorities transport regulations and be dangerous to haul.
When you rent a temporary dumpster, your goal is to fill it up and possess the waste hauled away. But if you prefer your waste recycled, you may have to really go about it in a somewhat different fashion. Waste in the majority of temporary dumpsters isn't recycled as the containers are so large and hold so much material.
If you're interested in recycling any waste from your project, check into getting smaller containers. Many dumpster rental businesses in 79968 have a broad variety of containers available, including those for recycling. All these are generally smaller than temporary dumpsters; they are the size of regular trash bins and smaller.
In case you like to recycle, figure out if the company you are working with uses single stream recycling (you do not need to sort the material) or in the event that you'll need to form the recyclable material into distinct containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This is going to really make a difference in the total number of containers you need to rent.
Renting a 40 yard dumpster will get you a container that holds about 40 cubic yards of waste. Dumpster sizes and dimensions aren't totally standard from company to company, but common measurements for a 40 yard container are 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high. This is the biggest size that a lot of dumpster companies generally rent, so it's perfect for large residential projects in addition to for commercial and industrial use.

MONDAY, July 6, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Children who grow up in poor neighborhoods face more obstacles in life, but new research suggests that having a best friend can help these kids succeed.
"Research into promoting resilience in young people has concentrated on support from the family, but friendships are important, too," study leader Rebecca Graber, a psychologist at the University of Sussex in England, said in a news release from the British Psychological Society.
"Boys' and girls' best friendships are an important source of meaning and strength in the face of substantial adversity," Graber explained.
Previous studies found a link between the challenges faced by young people in poor neighborhoods and larger social circles or peer groups. In this study, researchers focused specifically on the effects of having one close, supportive confidant on kids' ability to learn from adversity, become self-reliant and keep life in perspective.
The study authors surveyed 409 students between the ages of 11 and 19 from three schools and two colleges located in low-income areas in England. The quality of their best friendship was also examined in a psychological assessment. During this evaluation, the researchers assessed the participants' resilience when faced with adversity and how they coped with difficulties.
For both boys and girls, their best friend helped them find effective ways to deal with their problems. This included looking at the issues in a more positive light or strategizing. Friends also provided emotional support and helped the participants develop the skills and resilience they needed to face challenges.
Among the girls surveyed, best friends had a greater tendency to encourage risky or ineffective ways of dealing with problems, such as substance use or placing blame on oneself. This tendency was not seen among the boys, the study published recently in the British Journal of Psychology found.
"There has also been almost a distrust of friendship between boys, with research concentrating on the negative side of belonging to a gang. But that isn't the whole story," Graber said in the news release. "Our research suggests that boys' best friendships may be intimate, trustworthy and supportive, even as they face social pressures towards a stoic or macho masculinity."
The University of Arizona has more about peer groups and friendship.

Have you ever thought about how much you save versus how much you spend from your salary? Seriously, I mean REALLY thought about it. Like, “I’m saving X% versus spending Y% of my income.” No? Well that is exactly what we are going to do here. It’s important to figure these percentages out, especially when it comes to building a budget for yourself.
Luckily, this seemingly complicated subject can be looked at in a relatively simple way. Let’s break the two down and see how we can make them work together in our favor.
There are a lot of “best practices” when it comes to socking away some savings. Topics range from WHY to do it, WHEN to do it, all the way to HOW to do it. The gist of the WHY being that you want to save towards large purchases, your retirement, and that unexpected rainy day. The WHEN of saving is largely determined by your current financial situation, based on any number of circumstances, but ultimately starting with your current income. The commonplace HOW, however, stays the same for the most part: Take your income, expense your necessities, figure out how much you want available to spend on non-necessities (“disposable income” – coming up next), then save the rest.
Unfortunately, our savings usually take the same place in our thought process as they do in the previous sentence: last. That is why we plan ahead by saving for the life we want. It is generally “best practice” to save 10%-15% of your income. Read more about that here. It’s not easy to achieve that savings rate for many people; however, your overall goal by the end of reading this should be to have a high-level plan in place for how you can put more into your savings now than you have been previously. Even the smallest change in lifestyle will help you achieve your personal profitability goals.
Disposable income is any money you have left over after putting money towards taxes, paycheck elections, necessary expenses, and savings. Notice the switch in rank here, though. Disposable income is now taking its rightful place – AFTER savings. In no way do I advocate extreme deprivation of joy in order to pump up your savings account. Nor do I like the idea of nickel-and-diming your way through life. However, if disposable income comes before savings, then your savings account will inflate slower than a blow-up mattress being inflated by mouth… and it will feel just as difficult and hopeless.
Putting disposable income after savings allows you to sock away some money first, then go about enjoying your life. Again, it just takes a little planning.
Figuring out what to save versus what to spend can be easier than most people think. A lot of people try to “budget,” but a lot of times “budget” just means that they stop and think for a slight moment before making purchases. Rarely does “budget” actually mean crunching the numbers. So let’s do that now. For the rest of this post, we will build a real, high-level budget together. First, click the link below for the calculator, then come back for the directions.
This calculator has been pre-filled with example numbers, including salary, tax bracket, and expenses on the first tab of the workbook, called “Salary & Expenses.” This first tab is where you will put all of your own information regarding salary and expenses. I left three open “Other” expense slots, just in case, but feel free to add, delete, change, consolidate, or edit any of the expenses.
Click here to find out what tax bracket you should use.
Once the entire first tab is filled in, switch over to the tab called “Savings & Disposable Income.” Here you will find numbers related to your net pay, savings, and disposable income. Notice that disposable income comes last on the sheet! On that tab, you can adjust the annual savings rate by entering a value from 0%-100% – I started it at 10% for you already. The entire tab updates based on the numbers you input on the first tab. This tab is locked, just so no errors accidentally occur in the formulas. Should you need to unlock it to make adjustments, just right-click on the tab at the bottom of the workbook and click “Unprotect Sheet” – there’s no password.
Great, I’m going to save X% of my income being X amount of dollars… so what do I have left to spend?
OPTIONAL #1 (preferred): Wow! I don’t need that much to spend on Amazon items. I should increase my savings rate!
OPTIONAL #2 (less than ideal): Savings, schmavings! I’m going to buy that fifteenth iteration of the Amazon Echo this year!
Once you settle on a good balance between your savings and disposable income, you can make better financial decisions as to where you will spend the money that is left over. Try to stick to that amount without having to draw from your savings.
Keep in mind that this calculator only takes into account one salary and one tax bracket, so you can adjust numbers as needed. Also, this is meant to be a high-level view. Things may change month-to-month, but try to stay disciplined!
I really do hope that you find this tool useful! For the Excel geeks like Wayne and me out there, have a field day changing it to fit your needs. For everybody, if you have any questions or comments, please leave them at the end of the post! Happy saving!

Thanks to Amy Phoeler and the show Parks & Rec there is totally a trend out there that I can get behind – GALentine’s day! Just like the name sounds, it’s a celebration of your gal pals on Valentine’s Day!
With Valentine’s Day coming up next week, consider hosting your gal pal celebration on Thursday or Friday or even Sunday! Here are some ways your can celebrate!
50 Shades of Grey Movie: Let’s get real – your dude likely doesn’t want to see this movie. Some of the movie theaters in Pittsburgh are located rather close to mani/pedi salons, so you could totally make a day of this – which cocktails before and after the movie of course!
Brunch: My favorite entertaining time because people likely aren’t booked during brunch hours, hit up a spot that has deals on mimosas and bloody Mary’s! Or you can always play host! If you play host, there are tons of fun “bar” options like a coffee bar, yogurt & granola bar, cereal bar and of course bloody Mary and mimosa bars! A must have favor? Waffle Lip Balm.
Secret Cupid Gift Exchange: Think Secret Santa, but more badass because cupid has a bow and arrow! Set a limit and buy each other fun gifts!
Flower Arranging Class: Flowers and chocolate are likely the two most popular gifts on Valentine’s Day. Make an arrangement for yourself by looking for a local floral shop or conservatory that may offer a flower arranging class!
Cake Decorating Class: Along the lines of flower making, research bakeries to see if they offer any cake decorating classes.
Try On Wedding Dresses: This one is a bit out there, but this idea comes from an episode of Friends and from sometimes reader Trish. Make an appointment to go and try on wedding dresses and even bridesmaid dresses…even if everyone is already married or not even engaged. Bonus points for wearing an awesome CZ ring from Kohls!
Binge Drink & Movie Party: Just like the fancy title describes, invite friends over for a chick flick binge watching party with an abundance of alcohol. Attire calls for sweatpants.
Make Valentine’s: Something memorable that I did in high school student council and college sorority days was make Valentine’s for local nursing homes and then deliver them. If you are looking for a charitable spin on Galentine’s Day, get out your construction paper, glitter and markers and go nuts!

Kennelly Square in Lincoln Park.
The owners of condominiums in a Lincoln Park high-rise are joining the "deconversion" trend, voting narrowly to sell the building for as much as $78 million to a developer that plans to turn it back into a rental property.
Strategic Properties of North America has agreed to buy all 268 units in Kennelly Square, a 22-story tower at 1749 N. Wells St. Owners of 75.8 percent of the condos in the building voted to approve the sale, with 23.2 percent voting against it, according to an email sent out to unit owners.
After a prolonged apartment boom, many condo buildings in the city are mulling deconversions, with owners realizing they can sell out in bulk for much higher prices than they could individually. Developers like New Jersey-based Strategic Properties, which has already deconverted two big North Side high-rises, are willing to pay up for condos in many buildings, knowing the properties will be worth more reassembled as apartments.
Yet the transactions can be messy and contentious because many condo owners are unwilling to sell, even at a premium. Some simply don't want to move out of a condo where they have lived for many years and search for a new place nearby that could cost a lot more, especially in pricey Lincoln Park.
Under Illinois condominium law, if owners of at least 75 percent of the condos in a building vote to approve a bulk sale to one buyer, the sale goes ahead. The debate at Kennelly Square was especially acrimonious, said Bruce Theobald, who owns a unit in the building and voted for the sale.
"I've seen lifelong neighbors become bitter enemies as a result of this," said Theobald, managing broker of Lakefront Realty Group. "It just turned out to be a very adversarial environment."
If Strategic Properties completes the deal, it would be the second-biggest condo deconversion in Chicago. In the biggest, owners at River City, a 448-unit complex in the South Loop, voted last month to sell the property to Chicago developer Marc Realty Capital.
In buildings facing costly renovations, a developer's takeover offer is hard to refuse for some condo owners. If they don't sell to Strategic Properties, Kennelly Square owners would be on the hook for a $14 million special assessment to cover new windows, tuck-pointing and other repairs, Theobald said. He blames past condo boards for not maintaining the high-rise properly.
"The problems did not happen overnight," he said. "That's the big takeaway for condo associations across Chicago: You need to maintain your building or you will end up like this."
Still, Theobald, who rents out his unit, is happy with the outcome. He will receive about $150,000 from Strategic Properties for his studio, well above the $120,000 he estimates it would fetch if he tried to sell it on his own. Moreover, he doesn't have to pay a special assessment totaling about $35,000.
"If it was not for the special assessment, there was no way the vote would have gone over 75 percent," Theobald said.
Kim Adriano, who became president of the Kennelly Square board last year, did not return a call, but an attorney for the board, Michael Delrahim, answered questions on her behalf. He confirmed that Strategic Properties has a 30-day period to conduct due diligence for its acquisition.
Delrahim said many developers are pursuing condo deconversions these days because the returns are so attractive and they are easier and faster than building from scratch. A lot of the deconversion candidates are buildings that were converted from apartments to condos in the 1970s and '80s.
"There are still a number of them out there," said Delrahim, managing partner at Chicago-based Brown Udell Pomerantz & Delrahim. "It just takes so long to build a rental building. There's a time-value-of-money attraction."
A Strategic Properties executive declined to comment. In 2016, the firm bought two North Side condo buildings, paying $35 million for a 133-unit building at 2625 N. Clark St. and $51.5 million for Bel Harbor, a 207-unit tower at 420 W. Belmont Ave.
Strategic Properties has agreed to pay $78 million for Kennelly Square if all the unit owners agree to close at the same time, $76 million if they don't, Theobald said.
Judging from the interest in Kennelly Square, the deconversion trend isn't likely to end anytime soon. Avison Young, the brokerage hired to market the property to investors, led about 60 property tours and received 15 offers to buy the building, said Jim Hanson, principal at the firm.
"I had more interest in the Kennelly Square building than any other property I have brought to market in my career," said Hanson, who used to sell downtown office towers for a living.

Hypthema, or blood in the anterior chamber of the eye, is not something that EMS runs accords daily. But, it is important to understand what hyphema is.
Causes of the hyphema, include trauma to the eye or head, cancer of the eye, blood vessel rupture or damage, inflammation or infection of the eye, and sickle-cell disease. If you are treating a trauma patient, and you note hyphema, assume that the patient has a major head injury.
On assessment, you will note that their is faint or major blood pooling in the eye. This blood os accumulating in the anterior chamber of the eye. In addition, the patient may experience eye pain on the affected side, vision abnormalities, and light sensitivity.
Overall, their is really nothing we, in EMS, can do for these patients. If it is caused by trauma, than take all spinal precautions and rapid transport. But, if no trauma is suspected, than supportive care should be offered, unless otherwise specified or cause. If severe enough, these patients may need to be coded into the ED for evaluation and treatment. In minor and mild cases, the blood is usually absorbed within a few days.

Ford’s Safety organization performs crash tests on prototype vehicles at multiple planning phases of each new vehicle program. These tests ensure the vehicles meet all government and company requirements by the time the vehicles reach the production phase. However, crash tests are quite expensive to perform due to the high cost of prototype vehicles compared with that of production vehicles. Accordingly, improvements in scheduling that reduce the number of prototypes crashed yield a significant cost savings. This scheduling problem has many sources of complexity: varying deadlines, precedence relationships between tests, incompatibilities in vehicle specs required, etc. Currently, engineers spend weeks of time manually planning the crash schedule for each new vehicle program and coordinating with all the other prototype vehicle users. We are developing an automated system for crash test planning that both minimizes the resources needed and significantly reduces the time engineers spend planning.

In 2014, Xingyang’s local government financing vehicle (LGFV) obtained National Development and Reform Commission approval to sell 800 million yuan (US$130 million) in bonds. The seven-year bond was issued by Xingyang Urban Investment and Development, which on paper was a corporation but in reality was a local government unit. The Xingyang bond was issued to raise money to build factory premises to rent out and to clear land for sale. It was guaranteed by 10 plots of land with combined value of 1.6 billion yuan, or 200% of the bond value, according to the prospectus. But what the prospectus did not say was that all Xingyang Urban Investment and Development’s board members were local government officials. Its chairman, Li Guixi, was the director of Xingyang’s tax bureau. A recent visit to Xingyang by the South China Morning Post found that five of the 10 plots of land used as collateral were occupied by government agencies including the local Communist Party school and the Xingyang People’s Court.

Numerous public leaders reconfirmed their commitment to building the FM Area Diversion Project this morning during a press conference at Fargo City Hall.
Mayor of Fargo Tim Mahoney speaking about the FM Area Diversion Project and how the project will continue to move foward.
Moorhead Mayor Del Rae Williams speaks about the FM Area Diversion Project during a press conference.
The Diversion Board of Authority met on Wednesday evening with legal counsel and was advised to wait until next week’s regular meeting to decide if they will appeal the permit decision, according to Diversion Board of Authority Chair Darrell Vanyo.
During that meeting, Moorhead City Council member Nancy Otto pleaded with her state government to reconsider.
The project will not be building in Minnesota until 2019, but there are many approaching deadlines, Mahoney said.

Tuba, which one? Which key?
I'm not a brass player, I'm a violinist. I'm just writing for myself with MuseScore, trying to build my composition and orchestration skills. How do you decide which tuba to use in compositions? Wikipedia says that some tubas are more commonly used in UK, the other is more commonly used in US. If I ever have a real player to write for, then I'll write for that persons instrument. Until that happens, can you give me any suggestions, comments etc? (I posted one of my composition exercises , with a tube, to this group, it's the variations on Swanee river) Thanks.
What horn and what metal?
I was thinking about trying to get money to buy a new, professional horn, and I was wondering what kind of horns are the best. I know that the Berlin Phil plays on Alexander 103s, and they always seem to get good reviews, so I would definitely look at those, but I also know that there are other fantastic instruments and the Alexander might not be the best fit for me. Right now I play a Holton H179, and it works quite well for me, but I have college auditions next year and then college itself, and I think that a better horn would be beneficial.
I was looking online at alexander 103s, just for fun, and I saw that there are several different metals that they use. Each has its pros and cons, but I couldn't find which most people prefer.
If it helps at all, I prefer playing high horn (1st or 3rd).
I play 14 how many in total do all of you play?
Who here loves the French Horn but absolutely hate the spit getting into your horn and struggling to get it out?
Hello there! I was wondering about what everyone's range was. I am so self conscious that I have a tiny range. I also find that for big concerts where we play 10-12 pieces I can barely hit high notes at the end. I was looking for tips on how to expand range and build better endurance. Anything will help!
Why are the Horns in Muescore so quiet?
I've been charting out scores on Muescore for several months now, and i have noticed that the horns are so dang quiet! You can never here them, as apposed to how the actually sound in other sound founts. It can be very frustrating, because i need horns to be loud on parts where they are supposed to be and you can barely here them!
Hey I've been playing French Horn for a while but I don't know any of the fingerings lower than F3, can you guys help me?
Hi guys I am a intermediate flute player, please give some seggestions for sight reading peices! Thanks!
Young Composers' Online Orchestra- In need of woodwinds!!
Hey guys! This is a new ensemble I created a few days ago and we have a serious woodwind deficit as of now... we have three total woodwind players, compared to 7 violins and 14 synths.
I've posted this in a few other MuseScore groups in hopes of attracting a bit more attention to it, and it's worked so far! Here's the rest of the original post.
I'm creating an online orchestra dedicated to performing the works of young composers and putting the videos on YouTube. In the process, composers will get feedback from performers, performers will get more experience playing in different settings, and both will form connections that will be extremely useful (hopefully) in the music industry long-term! It's also a great chance for publicity.
Currently, I'm looking for performers, composers, and editors alike willing to help make this happen.
If you want to join, here's a link to a Discord server dedicated to making this happen!
In anticipation of a few questions, here's an FAQ.
How will you coordinate this?
Our current plan is to have one major piece every two months. Pieces will be member-submitted and member-selected. Parts, an MP3 of the piece being performed by synth instruments, and a metronome MP3 will be sent out. Members will have these two months to work up their part(s) and record themselves playing in time with the metronome that was sent. All members will submit their parts to an official email for the orchestra, which will be made at a later date. Editors will then take over and edit the tracks together.
It will then be posted to an official YCOO YouTube channel with credits to the composer and performers in the description.
Currently, standard orchestra and wind ensemble instruments. Non-standard instruments may be accepted, but should not expect a part in every major piece. Right now, we especially need woodwinds, specifically on flute/picc, saxophone, clarinet, and bassoon. We'd also love more low strings, like string bass and cello. But we won't turn you away if you already play an instrument we have lots of. The more, the merrier!
What kind of music will be played?
Orchestral music, wind ensemble music, chamber music, solos. We currently plan to only do original music by young composers but may be open to doing covers once the group has been established.
Chamber music and solos? How will that work?
While the major projects will happen every other month, members will be allowed to arrange small ensembles. Chamber ensembles and solos will be entirely member-run: members will choose a piece, form a small ensemble, send out parts on their own, come up with their own deadlines, and edit the audio and video on their own. Only when the product is complete will it be sent up to us admins to publish it on the YouTube channel.
Is there an audition required?
Video? Will we have to submit videos of ourselves?
No. Submitting videos of yourself playing is entirely optional.
Do you have to play in every major piece?
Nope. We won't kick you out for inactivity.
If you have any other questions let me know and I'll do my best to answer! In case you don't want to scroll back up, here's that link again.
Here's a link if you're interested but can't join the Discord so we can still get your information.
Brass Quartet Score - Advice Please?
This is the first composition I have ever made, and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. It would be really cool if I could turn it into a full concert band piece. Any pointers before I start transposing?
Can we have a thread where people post all of the different things about how to play woodwinds, starting with the basics of how the sound is produced and how the keys work, and going to various techniques such as fluttertonguing and other things? I think it would be a help for composers who want to write for woodwinds but don't play them (such as myself). I know the basics from Orchestration by Samuel Adler, but it would be nice to have them explained from actual wind players.
perhaps i can improve it.
Howdy, I'm new here so heres something about me. I have been playing horn for around three years. Its not the only brass instrument I play, but it is superior to the rest. I am about to go in to college as a Music major. Thats me, for the most part. since I have only been playing horn for three years, I am far from knowing everything. So I would love to hear any tips, tricks, or facts about horn, I'm all ears. Anyway, thats me.
I've already been searching the web for advices but I'm not sure theses replace real experience with the instrument.
- measure 5-9 : not sure whether tuba or trombone has the easiest time for this part. It seems to be more in tuba's range but can definitely be played a bit higher if needed.
- measures 26-33 for tuba : is that too quick ?

Witness Against Torture members gathered in Cleveland, Ohio earlier this month to reflect on the past year, renew our commitment to build together, and plan future projects. We have committed to implementing a variety of actions but will need our whole community to participate. We hope that you will join us in any and all of the actions that are being planned.
First, we want to celebrate and acknowledge the long road of healing ahead for Omar Khalifa Mohammed Abu Bakr (43) and Salem Abdul Salem Ghereby (55), who have been “resettled” in Senegal. As we celebrate their long awaited freedom, we continue to hold these men and their families in our hearts and minds because we know that healing from the trauma and torture of Guantanamo is so much more than “resettlement.” It requires time, community, and even reparations.
Over thirty members of the WAT community participated in the planning. Our work together focused on analysing the current political climate. We focused on Obama’s plan to close Guantanamo, the current elections, and the broadening climate of racism and Islamophobia.
Jeremy spoke about how the state of Guantanamo is directly linked to Americans feeling “safe.” The fear of ISIS is being overblown so that Americans think being safe requires them to be exclusionary and intolerant which has bred an ethnonational racism. This is one of the reasons we see the detainees being demonized in the service of this intolerant propaganda. In our work, WAT has historically addressed the US government and those with the power to release the men, while at the same time reaching out to the detainees to let them know they are not alone. While this work is important, we asked ourselves if we could in some way speak more directly to the culture of fear and hate by attempting to vocalize some sanity into the public sphere and discourse. Given the current racist rhetoric in the election process, we might be able to get public attention by placing our clear anti-torture voice into the mix. In other words, let’s use the election to get the public’s attention.
Maha spoke of distressing new developments concerning Muslim communities, particularly, the CVE (Countering Violent Extremism) campaign being promoted by the Obama administration. It is a “counter-terrorist strategy” that is completely focused on Muslim communities, which are expected to conduct surveillance on each other. It is penetrating and disrupting peace and conflict resolution efforts.
In addition to deepening our analysis, we also created some chants and songs with Frank, Luke and Enmanuel from the Peace Poets. We delved into identifying white supremacy in our work and the ways we act to resist the violent structures of racism and capitalism (see pictures below). We addressed questions about the intentions of our civil disobedience and committed to some website and social media work. Needless to say, we did a lot of work over the two days!
WAT members embodying resisting white supremacy through tableaus.
If you are in New York City, please join the No Separate Justice Vigils at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in lower Manhattan. The monthly vigil aims to shed light on and end a pattern of human rights and civil liberties abuses in “War on Terror” cases in the U.S. criminal justice system. You can contact us for more information.
This project will work closely with WAT member and the director of the National Coalition to Protect Civil Freedoms (NCPCF), Maha Hilal to provide Muslim detainees in the U.S. with commissary money during Ramadan (June 6-July 6). We are currently looking for financial support for these efforts. Please consider making a donation to Witness Against Torture towards this work.
This year will be focused on sharing the stories of the men in our local communities and public spaces. We will organize some online discussion forums and participate in a rolling Ramadan fast. Folks are also welcome to join Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition (TASSC) activities in DC. More to come on this soon.
WAT has accepted an invitation to participate in the People’s Convention the weekend before the Republican National Convention. We will be gathering to offer an anti-torture viewpoint and confront the hate-filled rhetoric of the Republican candidates. We are also planning on sticking around to find creative ways to engage the RNC. More details to be announced.
Members of WAT will be joining SOA Watch on the border October 7-10, in Nogales Sonora, AZ. The goal of the gathering is to resist border militarization and engage in nonviolent direct action. We stand in solidarity with those working to expose the root causes of migration and end U.S. intervention in the Americas.
Communication Management Units (CMU) are domestic prisons which hold an hold a majority Muslim population in terribly cruel ways. The people placed in these brutal units go without human contact for years. This policy and practice is currently being challenged by the Center for Constitutional Rights.
Over the course of the next months WAT will begin a time of study and engagement in ending Communication Management Units (CMU). It will also involve reaching out to local groups who work to support families visiting their loved ones and overturning the court decisions that led to their detention. We will work to provide learning opportunities for the larger WAT community, as we study the relationships between detention of Muslim men in Guantanamo and those who are victims domestically through targeting, preemptive prosecution and incarceration.
This year WAT will host a workshop on dismantling white supremacy in our society. The past few years have brought to light our need to address white supremacy in our organizing and we will spend two days this year reflecting on ways we enact and resist this in our work to close Guantanamo and end torture everywhere.
We are beginning to explore a possible documentary project about life after Guantanamo. This project seeks to visit the men resettled around the world, in places such as Uruguay, and create a video that will spread awareness about life after detention with a focus on the long lasting effects of U.S. sponsored torture.
Last but not least is our annual Fast for Justice, which will take place from January 8-21, 2017. We are encouraging our community to consider coming all the days of the fast this year. We will be building on the anniversary of January 11th to address the presidential inauguration.
We lift up the life of Joe Morton, a sustained and beautiful person in our WAT community, as he passed away last week. He was a loving and encouraging presence in Witness Against Torture’s memory and work. We would not be who we are without Joe. We miss him dearly. We are reminded that even though we are spread out across the country and world, our creativity and desire for change, continue to fuel this work. As always, we cannot do this work without each other.
Check out our latest news and updates on Tumblr.
Post any pictures of your local activities to our flicker account and we will help spread the word.
Witness Against Torture is completely volunteer driven and run. We have no paid staff, but do have expenses associated with our organizing work. If you are able, please donate here: http://www.witnesstorture.org.
Witness Against Torture will carry on in its activities until torture is decisively ended, its victims are fully acknowledged, Guantánamo and similar facilities are closed, and those who ordered and committed torture are held to account.
