The Director Certification Program (DCP) is an educational program designed to provide additional training and further develop skills for Sweet Adelines International directors, potential directors, and musical leaders. The program provides opportunities to validate the skills and knowledge required to direct a Sweet Adelines chorus. The DCP should not be viewed as the only source of training for directors, but rather should be seen as one component of each region's director development program.

Wired: The End of Radio… Really!
Right. Podcasting is just a piece of the replacement of radio by “on-demand audio.” Thanks to Tivo, podcasting and a slew of other digital technologies, combined with smaller, cheaper, faster electronics, media is finally coming into a new generation where we can see and hear what we want, when we want it. Thank goodness!
IMHO, Wired magazine is back and getting better and their recent cover story on this trend is more evidence of that editorial success. I don’t mind that every month they publish something from one of the most important intellectuals writing about digital rights et al, Lawrence Lessig. He’s well worth following.Read the coverage from the Wired cover story. It’s already online.

I've got a couple of weeks usage left of my current eye cream so I figured I'd do a review of it! Please read on!
Where to buy: Home Bargains, Savers, Bodycare, almost any discount drugstore in the UK or failing that, eBay UK or eBay worldwide.
I picked this eye cream up as I'd just ran out of Clinique's All About Eyes that I got during Bonus Time. I hadn't used eye creams at all until then but I've been converted as I like the extra moisture it gives my undereye area and if it can stave off wrinkles for any amount of time, all the better. I had just ordered Secret Key's Snail & EGF Repair Eye Cream so whilst waiting for that to arrive from Korea, I just wanted a cheap eye cream that would keep me going for the time being. Who knew that would lead me to what I just might call my Holy Grail eye cream?
Like I say, I only picked this up because it was the cheapest eye cream I could find. I figured that even if it just gave a bit extra moisture it'd do its job until my Secret Key one arrived. The packaging stands out a bit amongst other eye creams; it's interesting rather than cute or cool. It reminds me of bees though, which is strange as it's 'Snake Venom'. I guess it could be Mangrove Snakes though? Either way, I think it's supposed to look cool and advanced. I'd gone into Boots to check their cheaper eye creams and the cheapest I could find was Olay, I think, at £10 or £15. I was also interested in Holland & Barrett's Royal Jelly Eye Cream at £10 but I thought I'd try the cheapest first haha!
You've probably already noticed but this eye cream doesn't actually have snake venom in it. It has Syn-ake, a synthetic compound that mimics the paralysing effects of snake venom, effectively freezing wrinkles. I have no idea what 'Eyepro 3X' is though...a quick Google shows it's an active blend of ingredients meant to reduce puffiness, rejuvenate eyes, is anti aging and minimises dark circles. It contains an extract from a stressed yeast ferment, the adaptogen Rhodiola rosea and betaine isolated from sugar beets. To be honest, I never trust psuedo-scientific blends of ingredients with trademarks next to them but I appreciate they actually say what the blend consists of rather than just 'science and magic'.
This eye cream is dermatologically tested and even has clinical claims - it promises to reduce dark circles by 65% and reduce under-eye puffiness or bags by 60%. I'd just like to point out that a lot of mid to high end cosmetic brands like to reason that their items are expensive because they are dermatologically tested, fragrance free, clinically tested and include exclusive ingredients and active formulas that are top of the range and usually trademarked/patented...and this cream promises that all for the price of £1.99. Still, they're big claims to make for such a cheap item!
The cream itself is white, relatively fragrance-free and lightweight. I wouldn't quite say it's a gel-cream but it's definitely light, spreads and absorbs easily.
When I first bought this cream, I was hesitant to buy such a cheap cream as I was afraid it'd irritate my skin. My skin isn't sensitive 99% of the time but I didn't know with such 'cheap' ingredients. When I first applied this cream, it felt kind of...warm? Not stinging, but I did worry it was the start of an irritation. Nothing else came of it though and after a couple of days of using the cream, the initial warmness subsided.
In this case, 'Durability' will mean how well the cream actually works. This cream actually works pretty goddamn well. I expected barely anything from this cream and was amused to see how it worked compared to its clinical claims. In just 10 days (I wanna say between 1 or 2 weeks, I'm not quite sure), I could already tell my dark circles were significantly reduced! Like, I actually wish I had taken before and after photos as I'm 100% sure you would be able to see the difference.
I never considered that I get puffiness or undereye bags unless I don't get enough sleep so I can't comment on that claim. Again, I can't comment on how well it works against wrinkles or crows feet either. However, my undereye area looks significantly more fresh, bright and awake. When I wake up in the morning, my undereyes are almost the same colour as the rest of my facial skin.
I'd always considered my dark circles were pretty average but I can admit that they'd always show through concealer after a few hours due to the makeup fading and sometimes when I'd go to remove my makeup, they'd almost look like bruises in the shadows, with the amount of purple, yellow and green discolouration. I always chalked it up to having pale skin, since the blood raising to the surface, veins and fluid are seen more through paler skin. However, I can safely say I consider my undereye area improved at least 65%, if not more, so I am pleasantly surprised it holds up to its clinical claims. On the other hand, after using Clinique's All About Eyes (which I need to review), I didn't notice any difference to my eye area except maybe a bit more hydration, which is why I started to use eye creams.
I didn't expect any difference in my dark circles so this cream is pretty amazing, even more so for the price. There's brands that would charge £20-£30 for this eye cream and similarly, people would expect to pay that for these results. I can safely say I didn't expect such a great eye cream when I picked this up for £1.99 in Bodycare. My Secret Key eye cream has arrived and I'm equally eager to try that out when this one runs out but I'm also worried that if the results aren't as good for the Secret Key one, my dark circles will return. Unless the Secret Key one is as good or better, along with the eye cream samples I got in my work leaving gift (which I shall review as I use them), I will definitely continue buying this Balance one. I'd recommend this to anyone because for £1.99, what do you have to lose? 5 stars for me!

Three people with Nova Scotia ties were named recipients yesterday forthe 2009 Governor General’s Awards in Visual and Media Arts.
Three people with Nova Scotia ties were named recipients yesterday for the 2009 Governor General’s Awards in Visual and Media Arts.
Sculpture artist John Greer of West Dublin, Lunenburg Co., interdisciplinary artist and Antigonish native Rita McKeough and Halifax-born glass sculptor Kevin Lockau will each receive their awards at a ceremony tonight at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.
There were nine winners in total, with each receiving $25,000.
Greer and McKeough won for artistic achievement, with Lockau taking his award for excellence in fine crafts.
Greer was the catalyst behind Halifax Sculpture, a 1990s movement rooted in minimalism and conceptualism. He also taught at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design for more than 25 years.
McKeough, who now lives in Calgary, has been working as an artist for more than 30 years, and has contributed to performance and installation art.
Lockau, who resides in Ontario, is known for inventing three hot glass casting techniques, which are used to combine animal, natural and human forms.

Icy road conditions may have played a role in several Massachusetts car accidents that occurred over the weekend. Police offers were injured in two of those crashes.
At about 6am Monday morning, Falmouth police officer Richard Everton sustained non-life threatening injuries when his cruiser spun out of control and flipped over. Everton was responding to a crash on Route 28.
According to a state police spokesman, a trooper sustained minor injuries in separate car crash in Millbury. Because icy roads create dangerous driving conditions, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and the Registry of Motor Vehicles recommends driving at reduced speeds and never locking your brakes when there’s ice.

Once you have decided to do business with a supplier, it is a good idea to document the terms of trade in a written contract. Written agreements with suppliers minimise disagreements about each party's rights and responsibilities.
Suppliers often have their own written agreements but, if they don't, we recommend establishing them yourself. Written agreements document all the specific details, such as what you want, what you'll get, how much you'll pay and when.
Make sure a lawyer experienced in supply agreements and terms of trade reviews any documents before you sign and begin any transactions.
Deal with the dispute promptly. If communication with the supplier has failed, address your concerns with their head office or seek advice from your solicitor or business adviser.
Learn more about the issues involved in resolving disputes and where to lodge complaints.
Visit the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) website for more information about your rights and responsibilities.
Learn more about resolving disputes at the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) website.

Sam, the grey hammer head shark measuring 62 cm, has a white belly and white undersides to his fins and he's hungry for adventure. Clever little details, such as a red mouth opening with teeth and the airbrush features on his gills, make Sam into a lovable protector. The cuddly soft woven skin is very inviting for snuggling and drifting off into a dreamy sleep.

These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on national TRAFFIC. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.
You will see a message "Your Profile has been updated"
now here's the RULE, note the link to your Avatar in the example above begins https:// GOOD! Your REMOTE AVATAR complies! No action needed. Oh, it's not https? it's http? BAD! This does not comply, so just try adding an S to the http line in your UCP! Does it still work now? If so, your Avatar is CLEAR! No further action needed.
now here's the RULE please note the link above in example 2, this is an http to Noms Careers.
so going back to Example 1 link - this is against the Rules because it means a) this breaches the Certificate scheme delivering insecure content and b) even worse really, a member who chose the https version of the site could click that and end up back on the http site! Not allowed!
To UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE "EMAIL LIST"
Your email address and password are critical data that you entrusted us with.
HTTPS provides authentication of the website and associated web server with which you communicate, which protects against man-in-the-middle attacks. Additionally, it provides bidirectional encryption of communications between a client and server, which protects against eavesdropping and tampering with or forging the contents of the communication. In practice, this provides a reasonable guarantee that you are communicating with precisely the website that you intended to communicate with viz PCSOS-NATIONAL, as well as ensuring that the contents of communications between the user and site cannot be read or forged by any third party. HTTPS - which we have used since Feb 2017 - is now in widespread use for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
Before its initial release, phpBB3 underwent a rigorous security audit by the well-known organisation SektionEins, and most notably Stefan Esser, a highly respected PHP security consultant. During its lifetime, phpBB3 has even undergone a second security audit, and there have been no reported major vulnerabilities in the software.
Fast web servers to run our applications with root access and a 100% uptime guarantee.
And meet the premium MySQL database service, DreamHost MySQL VPS which uses an isolated Linux-VServer that has resources dedicated to our site.
Standard MySQL servers share resources with other users, but with MySQL VPS, our databases and resources are protected from other users in the same way a private web server is.
With phpBB 3.2 the most recent major version of PHP7 is now completely supported. This will make phpBB considerably faster and moving along to modern times.
prosilver, phpBB's default style, utilises the latest specifications for HTML5 and CSS3 for a modern and responsive design. This ensures optimal performance and cross-browser support for all modern browsers on desktop and mobile platforms.
HTTPS signals the browser to use an added encryption layer of SSL/TLS to protect our traffic. SSL/TLS is especially suited for HTTP, since it can provide some protection even if only one side of the communication is authenticated. This is the case with HTTP transactions over the Internet, where typically only the server is authenticated (by the client examining the server's certificate).
Discuss politely and constructively. Nothing wrong with saying it like it is. That way you have your eyes wide open.
Negative comments about other users is unacceptable.
We do have a problem in common with other forums across the planet. people opening a new thread without realising that a thread on that already exists!
Most of the time its not what you know but who you know to get to the nationals!
I was talking to some of the fellas from the nationals at the last riot I went to, it took most of them 10-15 years to get in! And they got the chance because they knew people already in.
The knowledge Base is fantastic for all new members here. Please all if you've not accessed this area, check it out.
There are many 'unanswered questions' in this forum in many many different threads, sad really as the poster could have probably found what they were looking for by looking in the knowledge Base.

For once there is a massive choice of cheeses all perfectly ripe for eating in the cheese fridge. We took samples of these to the Wine Tasting to be shared.
Despite all the background cheese making that occurs at HHF we don't always have a big cross section of cheeses ripening all once like this although probably should be goal.
Oh look at that blue... how divine.

The Pebble Limited Partnership confirmed it is paying for the litigation.
The plaintiffs — Trefim Andrew, Tim Anelon, Gary Nielsen, Henry Olympic, Abe Williams and Braden Williams — are challenging the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association’s recent contracts with SalmonState and the United Tribes of Bristol Bay. Both SalmonState and UTBB are ardent Pebble opponents.
In their complaint, the plaintiffs allege the lawsuit is justified because BBRSDA can only use its funding to market seafood, based on the state statute that allowed for its creation.
BBRDSA leaders said they believe the lawsuit is designed to limit their participation in the ongoing federal public comment period for the proposed Pebble Mine.
“There were several fishermen that we’ve gotten to know over the years who were quite angered by the fact that the taxes they pay on their fish landings is not being use to market and promote the fish,” Heatwole said.
Abe Williams, one of the plaintiffs, commercial fishes in Bristol Bay and is also employed by the Pebble Limited Partnership as a regional outreach director. He used to be on the BBRDSA’s board.
“Over many years I’ve addressed these guys in regards to how they are utilizing our funds. There are many of us that said, ‘listen, this organization is doing something it wasn’t designed for,’” Williams said.
Most commercial fishermen in Bristol Bay are required to join BBRSDA. They pay a 1% tax on the fish they catch and sell, which funds the association.
Williams supports the Pebble Mine proposal, saying it would provide needed jobs in the Bristol Bay region. He said he’s proud to work there. But Williams said in participating in the lawsuit, he’s mainly acting in his interest as a fourth-generation commercial fisherman.
“My concerns about the BBRSDA spending the money the way they were was long before I was working at Pebble,” Williams said.
Williams and other plaintiffs are asking a judge to immediately prohibit BBRSDA from using its resources to impact the Pebble Mine permitting process.
Scott Kendall, the attorney representing BBRSDA, argued the contracts fall well within the realm of what the organization is supposed to do.
Kendall noted the lawsuit was filed during the Army Corps of Engineers’ public comment period for Pebble’s latest mine proposal, which ends May 30.
“If successful, they would muzzle BBRSDA — BBRSDA would be denied the ability to create science and to create comments that would go into the comment period. It’s kind of a one-time shot, and on May 30, that expires,” Kendall said.
Pebble spokesperson Heatwole denied that charge, saying in his statement the lawsuit is not meant to challenge BBRSDA’s ability to comment on the mine.
“Their efforts can continue but it shouldn’t be done with fish marketing money,” Heatwole said.
The post Pebble backs lawsuit to halt Bristol Bay seafood association’s funding for anti-mine groups appeared first on Alaska Public Media.

Public consultation is an integral part of the planning process and a requirement of the Localism Act.
Carried out well, meaningful engagement with all the stakeholders affected by a proposal will not only speed consent but also – ultimately – deliver better and more popular development.
And the sooner that engagement process begins, ideally at the pre-application stage, the better the results will be.
However, public engagement is all too often seen as time consuming, complex and costly. Which is why the Consulting You web-based toolbox was developed: to make that engagement simpler, speedier, more effective… and less expensive.

Until Cupid shoots his arrow.
What do you think Cupid is doing now to prepare for Valentine’s Day? Target practice? Writing his own valentines? Or, shopping at Barney’s for some brand spanking new white unmentionables? Probably a little of all three.
Cupid does visit our household on Valentine’s Day, but it’s more like his half cousin, the pizza delivery guy. Every Valentine’s Day, Mr. B and I celebrate the day of love by ordering pizza and watching a movie in our pj’s while sipping some red wine. For us, keeping it simple means a stress free holiday with more time for snuggles.
However, even though we fly under the Valentine’s Day radar compared to most couples, I always make sure to make a sweet for my sweet. In years past, I’ve made spicy brownies, chocolate mousse, and candy hearts, but this year, Cupid hit the bulls-eye because I’ve created a spectacular cake with the help of my friends from Lindt Chocolate!
Have you ever had a Lindt LINDOR Milk Chocolate Truffle? These aren’t your ordinary truffles my friends, oh no. The Lindt Master Chocolatiers have been perfecting these irresistibly smooth chocolate truffles since 1949. The moment you break the shell of a LINDOR truffle and, as it melts, in your mouth, you will enter into a chocolaty state of bliss.
So, what better way to celebrate and enjoy a milk chocolate LINDOR truffle then on top of a cake! This double-layered dark chocolate cake with chocolate frosting & chocolate ganache will make your sweet smile from ear to ear. But! It’s Valentine’s and so let’s go the extra mile and dip the tops of these milk chocolate LINDOR truffles into chocolate ganache and then top them with cherry pop rocks. Place the truffles on the cake and voila! Chocolate Valentine heaven!
But the smooth irresistible chocolate flavor doesn’t stop there! Lindt is giving away a 75-count bag of LINDOR milk chocolate truffles to one lucky reader! Just think, these truffles will “melt” your sweet’s heart. Ahhhhhhhhh. All you have to do is leave a comment below telling me, who is your Valentine this year?
Giveaway details: One US resident winner will receive a 75- count bag of LINDOR milk chocolate truffles. The winner will be chosen randomly and will have 48 hours to respond. This giveaway will run from Wednesday January 28th to Sunday February 1st at 9pm MST. Good luck!
Now, pass me a slice of this cake!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 9-inch round cake pans with non-stick cooking spray. Note: this recipe can make three cake layers, so you will have leftovers. Just save a 1/3 of the batter to make a smaller cake if desired.
In a large bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, and vegetable oil. In another large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, cocoa powder, and baking soda. In thirds, combine dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Gradually add the hot coffee to the mixture and stir until well combined. Pour the batter between the two cake pans and spread the cake batter evenly. Place in oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until you insert a tooth pick into the middle of the cake and it comes out clean.
Cool cake completely on wire racks. Once cooled, remove layer one and place it top side down on a cake stand. Take some of the chocolate frosting and cover the top of the cake. Next, take the second layer of cake and place it top side up on the first layer. Begin frosting the entire cake. Once frosted, place the entire cake in the fridge to set for at least 30 to 40 minutes.
Once the cake has set, remove from fridge and pour the ganache over top. Quickly, add the truffles on top before the ganache has time to set. If you need to, reheat some of the ganache in the microwave and reapply truffle. If you want, you can serve the cake or put it back in the fridge to set for another 20 minutes. Enjoy!
In a small saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Add the butter and bring to a slight boil, stirring so nothing burns to the bottom. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the chocolate chips. Add the hot coffee and stir until smooth. You may need to add more coffee if the frosting is to thick.
Pour chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl. Place bowl in the microwave and set on high for 30 seconds. Remove bowl, stir, and place in microwave again for another 30 seconds. Repeat until chocolate has melted and is smooth.
Pour three to four packets of Pop Rocks into a bowl. Take a truffle dip it into the melted chocolate and sprinkle Pop Rocks on top. Repeat process until all truffles have been covered.

So, you’re happy with your product? It helps people, they love it, and want more? That’s a great feeling. If it helps people in your country, maybe it can help those in other countries. Wouldn’t that be great? Let’s do it!
Entering a new market is a costly endeavor. Before committing to one particular market you should conduct as many tests as possible in order to understand the viability.
Regardless of your type of product, the first thing you should do is to understand whether what you sell in one location can be sold without modifications in another location. Different markets will probably require different modifications, so you can make a list. If you have no modifications, perfect.
The next step is to understand the demand on the new market - if you have an online business you can create a localized version of your landing pages and drive traffic to them. These can be real or a so-called “fake door” website that seems to describe a complete product, but when people subscribe, you tell them something along the lines of “thank you, we’re launching in your location in three months.” That way you get the sense of real demand.
If you have a physical product or require someone to be present to make a sale, the best person to send is you - you understand the product best, and if expansion is really important, only you can make the necessary changes to the core of the company to be successful.
After you gauge interest and know the modifications required, you should have a pretty good idea which, if any, of the markets are a good start.
Localization is important for products that are not used by multinationals or meant to be used in the local languages. That is kind of obvious, we know. What is usually not so obvious are the changes both in the UI and UX of the product and the operations of the company.
The typical example for the Latin alphabet is translation into German, which can have very long words that buttons and UI are usually not equipped for, unless your design was meant to accommodate them from the start (which, if it’s the case, should also make your UI fine for any other language.) Expanding to right-to-left writing countries like those speaking Arabic or Hebrew? Get ready for your whole UI to be mirror-flipped.
And of course if you have a website localized to Mandarin, people will write Mandarin on your customer support, so operationally you need to be able to have people speaking all the languages you have your interface localized to.

What subnet mask would be used if a company using 172.16.0.0 wants to leave 6 bits for host bits?
What is the function of a CSU/DSU?
It converts user data into an acceptable form to be sent over a WAN link.
It protects user data from unauthorized access when transmitted over a WAN.
It limits the geographic area in which a WAN operates.
It converts between temporary and permanent WAN connections.
A company is planning to subnet its network for a maximum of 27 hosts. Which subnet mask would provide the needed hosts and leave the fewest unused addresses in each subnet?
A network administrator is required to use media in the network that can run up to 100 meters in cable length without using repeaters. The chosen media must be inexpensive and easily installed. The installation will be in a pre-existing building with limited cabling space. Which type of media would best meet these requirements?
What type of network cable is used between a terminal and a console port?
Which device is used to create or divide broadcast domains?
How many host addresses may be assigned on each subnetwork when using the 130.68.0.0 network address with a subnet mask of 255.255.248.0?
Which option identifies the primary interface which would be used for initial configuration of a Cisco router?
Which subnet mask would be assigned to the network address of 192.168.32.0 to provide 254 useable host addresses per subnetwork?
What does the term “attenuation” mean in data communication?
14. At which layer of the OSI model does the device reside that is functioning as the default gateway for hosts on a network?
15. A company is planning to subnet its network for a maximum of 27 hosts. Which subnet mask would provide the needed hosts and leave the fewest unused addresses in each subnet?
Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is planning the addressing scheme for the LAN using 172.25.14.0/26. The hosts are to be assigned addresses 172.25.14.1 – 172.25.14.25. The LAN interface of the router is to be configured using 172.25.14.63 as the IP address. What would describe this addressing scheme?
• The LAN is being addressed properly.
• The subnet that is being assigned is not a usable subnet address.
• The router LAN interface is being assigned a broadcast address.
• The subnet mask does not allow enough host addresses in a single subnet.
Refer to the exhibit. A student in the Cisco network class has designed a small office network to enable hosts to access the Internet. What recommendation should the teacher provide to the student in regards to the network design?
• Replace the Layer 2 switch with a hub.
• Replace the Layer 2 switch with a router.
• Replace the Layer 2 switch with a bridge.
• Replace the Layer 2 switch with a transceiver.
18. Which type of routing allows routers to adapt to network changes?
• No routing is necessary.
20. Given a host with the IP address 172.32.65.13 and a default subnet mask, to which network does the host belong?
21. What header address information does a router change in the information it receives from an attached Ethernet interface before information is transmitted out another interface?
• The host subnet mask is incorrect.
• The host is not configured for subnetting.
• The default gateway is a network address.
• The default gateway is on a different network than the host.
• The host IP address is on a different network from the Serial interface of the router.
Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator has assigned the internetwork of LBMISS an address range of 192.168.10.0. This address range has been subnetted using a /29 mask. In order to accommodate a new building, the technician has decided to use the fifth subnet for configuring the new network. By company policies, the router interface is always assigned the first usable host address and the workgroup server is given the last usable host address. Which configuration should be entered into the IP server properties to get connectivity to the network through the router?
24. How does a router decide where the contents of a received frame should be forwarded?
Refer to the exhibit. A newly hired technician is testing the connectivity of all hosts by issuing a ping command. The technician notices that a default gateway is not configured on all the hosts, but all hosts have connectivity between hosts, a fact which seems to confuse the technician. How would you explain the connectivity to the technician?
• The hosts are detecting the default gateway configured on the hub.
• The hosts are all in one LAN, so default gateway information is not needed.
• The hosts in the network only require that one host has a gateway configured.
• The hosts in the network would only need a gateway if a switch replaces the hub.
• The hosts are using broadcast to reach each other since no gateway is configured.
26. What do switches and routers use to make forwarding decisions?
• Switches and routers both use IP addresses.
• Switches and routers use both MAC and IP addresses.
• Switches use IP addresses. Routers use MAC addresses.
• Switches use MAC addresses. Routers use IP addresses.
• Switches use MAC and IP addresses. Routers use IP addresses.
• The default gateway is a broadcast address.
• The default gateway is on a different subnet from the host.
28. How does subnetting provide some level of security in a network?
• The number of switches must increase.
• The collisions prevent the copying of data.
• The broadcasts are contained within a subnet.
• The number of host IP addresses is increased.
Refer to the exhibit. After host 2 is connected to the switch on the LAN, host 2 is unable to communicate with host 1. What is the cause of this problem?
• The subnet mask of host 2 is incorrect.
• Host 1 and host 2 are on different networks.
• The switch needs an IP address that is not configured.
• The router LAN interface and host 1 are on different networks.
• The IP address of host 1 is on a different network than is the LAN interface of the router.
30. What is the purpose of a subnet mask in a network?
• A subnet mask is not necessary when a default gateway is specified.
• A subnet mask is required only when bits are borrowed on a network.
• A subnet mask is used to determine in which subnet an IP address belongs.
• A subnet mask is used to separate the 48-bit address into the OUI and the vendor serial number.
31. Refer to the exhibit. A technician is planning an addressing scheme for a branch office as shown in the exhibit. What is the status of the intended network?
• The configuration will work as planned.
• The subnetwork mask of host A is incorrect.
• The default gateway of host A is a network address.
• The addresses on the router LAN interfaces are on the same subnetwork.
• The IP address of host A is on a different subnetwork than the subnetwork that the Ethernet router interface is on.
32. What is the primary purpose of a routing protocol?
• Layer 3 header is removed and replaced at every Layer 3 device.
• Layer 2 and Layer 3 addresses do not change when the packet traverse.
• Layer 3 source and destination addresses do not change when the packet traverse.
• Layer 2 frame header and trailer are removed and replaced at every Layer 3 device.
• Layer 2 source and destination addresses do not change when the packet travels.
34. Which type of routing uses manual entry of information and does not scale well in large internetworks?
35. Company XYZ uses a network address of 192.168.4.0. It uses the mask of 255.255.255.224 to create subnets. What is the maximum number of usable hosts in each subnet?
36. A company is using a Class B IP addressing scheme and expects to need as many as 100 networks. What is the correct subnet mask to use with the network configuration?
37. Which device would add security to a network by not forwarding broadcasts?
38. An IP network address has been subnetted so that every subnetwork has 14 usable host IP addresses. What is the appropriate subnet mask for the newly created subnetworks?

Photos: Noah Fecks. Cocktails, in order: Friend of the Devil (two photos), Gin and Juice (three photos), Manhattan, Lady of the Night (three photos), and J. Crusteau at Booker and Dax; I Hear Banjos (two photos) at The Wayland; Beetnick, Manhattan on Draught, Bowery Fix, and Yankee Mule at Saxon + Parole; Flor de Jalisco, 1890, Bitter Mule, and Pimm’s Tonic at The Wren; and G.P. Spritz and The Last Cocktail at Prima.
Jason Mendenhall, a partner in the new cocktail bar on Avenue C, The Wayland, knows the East Village has long been a drinks destination. “I’ve heard people refer to the neighborhood as the cocktail ghetto,” he recently told The Local. Lately, mixologists like Mr. Mendenhall have been raising the proverbial bar on tired old speakeasy drinks, with twists that have nothing to do with lemon rinds: we’re talking red-hot pokers, smoke capsules, and centrifuges.
Take Mr. Mendenhall’s most popular creation, I Hear Banjos. The mixologist roasts apples to make bitters for the corn-whiskey and applejack drink (he’s also working on umami bitters, made from various mushrooms). But that isn’t the impressive part. For campfire effect, the drink is capped with an upside-down snifter full of applewood smoke. Mr. Mendenhall is planning an entire line of smoked drinks (and a line of drinks incorporating vegetables like kale and beets, as well), and he also hopes to create smoked ice.

Our Kindergarten students put on a fabulous performance this past Monday night at our PTO meeting and our 5th graders’ Science projects were top-notch! The meeting was well attended and we look forward to many more of you joining our wonderful PTO very soon.
I would like to express my gratitude to our PTO and all who donated books from our book fair for teachers' classroom library collections. Having good literature in the classroom is very important, and each year our PTO, parents, and other donors support our teachers and students in this way!
Thank you so much for your continued support and we hope to see you all at CiCi's night tonight.
Our 4th Graders took part in a Native American Potlatch today. Storytelling, games, and great food all inspired by the Native American culture.
Our Kindergarten students were serenaded by the Valley Voices this morning. They also had an opportunity to share their singing skills with the visitors!
You can see these smiling faces on display on D Hall!
Prior to teaching at Bookman Road Elementary I was the physical education teacher down the street at Round Top Elementary for thirteen years. I spent one year working at the South Carolina Department of Education before returning to teaching and I'm excited to be a Beacon. I'm married to a fourth grade teacher and we have two dogs and a cat. In my free time I enjoy running and I'm an avid fan of Arsenal in the English Premier League for soccer. I look forward to building relationships this year with a new school school community that last for many years to come.
I'm excited to join the Bookman Road family this year. This is my tenth year teaching Physical Education. My nine previous years teaching were in Winston Salem NC. I graduated from UNCW and also competitively swam for them for four years. I have been married for ten years and have two boys. Henry is two, Brooks is four, and we have a twelve year old chocolate lab named Roland. I'm looking forward to a great year!

The 21st-century woman has her hands full, but does she have the right tools to help her and her family live a healthier and happier life? That is the question the women creating Movin’ Together asked themselves as we maneuvered through this time in history. Of course, the dictionary meaning of the word maneuver is a movement; often one performed with difficulty. Many of us have roles that require the best of us! Hopefully, as we have encouraged ourselves with the Movin’ Together healthy tool basket, you too will be inspired to learn about the tools and use them! Sometimes too much information is overwhelming, hence the monthly reminder allows us to look at one tool at a time. The tools already in our basket this year are scheduling/tyranny of the urgent; hydration/fountain of youth; jump start your day/breakfast; time out/stress less; rail-trail adventure/ healthy snacks; and this month protecting our skin/ lotions, hats and glasses. You can find broadcasts covering all of these subjects on our Movin’ Together channel located on the left sidebar.
According to research by the American Cancer Society and others, our tools seem to be those that cancer hates. Many of us have experienced the pain of losing someone we love to cancer, so it becomes a personal quest to find solutions for wellness.
According to Dr. Solow, the sun’s rays are not just a summer skin care concern. She reminds us that protection from DNA damage of our skin it is an all year long approach to living and enjoying the outdoors. It does not matter if there is rain, overcast or snow, there is always the possibility of sun damage from the rays. She stressed that the damage done when we are children could catch up to us when we become adults. As an adult, if you notice any change in your skin such as different looking moles, changes in shape or color, that could be an indication of cancer. If you have any skin care concerns or you would like more information call UPMC Susquehanna’s general surgery office in Wellsboro at (570) 723-0716.
Below are many links for more information about protecting your skin from the sun’s rays. The first link has a quiz for you to take on safety in the sun.
Join us next time on Movin’ Together for Digest This! Eating in a Healthy Order.

A Cedar Rapids mother is urging parents of college-aged children to make sure they get the meningitis vaccine. Kathy Huddleson says one day last September, her 20-year-old daughter Elizabeth was home visiting her boyfriend when she suddenly became ill. Her flu-like symptoms became so severe she was taken to a hospital. She was nauseated, had a headache, ached all over and had some numbness and tingling in her arms and legs — mostly symptoms that mimic flu, as Huddleson says meningitis often does. Huddleson says her doctors sent her daughter home with medicine to control flu symptoms but less than 24 hours she was back, as her parents rushed to the hospital. By the time they got there doctors were working to revive the girl and keep her going, but within an hour of arriving at the hospital she was pronounced dead. Huddleson says a simple vaccination at the doctor’s office can prevent a tragedy like her family has endured. You can get the shot at colleges, and many campus health centers will administer the vaccination. Meningitis strikes nearly 3,000 Americans each year. Doctors say one of four young adults who get meningitis will die from it, even though 80-percent of cases among adolescents and young adults are vaccine-preventable. Certain lifestyle factors including living in dorms, irregular sleep patterns and sharing of beverages or utensils tend to make college students more susceptible to the disease.

This illustration depicts a type of therapy that fills an aneurysm with a special type of polymer liquid that hardens into a cast soon after introduction. This hardened cast fills the aneurysm which previously was filled with blood. An aneurysm is a balloon-shaped defect in a weak spot on a blood vessel wall, which impedes the natural flow of blood through that vessel.

Learn more about WIOA at the state level.
In 1998, Congress passed the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), replacing the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) as the largest single source of federal funding for workforce development activities. WIA established a universal access system of one-stop career centers, which provide access to training and employment services for a range of workers, including low-income adults, low-income youth and dislocated workers.
This page contains overview materials on WIOA, as well as news, analysis, and recommendations for implementation developed by the National Skills Coalition.

The responsibility for the life of the Jews was completely God’s. The Jews had no control. They were between the proverbial “rock and a hard place.” They were several million hungry people in the middle of the desert ready to starve. There wasn’t a Kroger for hundreds of miles! If God did not provide they would die! What did God want to teach them?
1. He was faithful to lead them and provide for all their needs (for forty years).
2. They could trust His word - His promises.
What can we learn today from their situation?
First, remember He has been faithful to you in the past.
Second, God lets you get hungry. He allows trials. They are part of His plan.
Third, God does not always do the expected. He will feed you with manna, which you do not know. He needs you to give Him the freedom to provide in His way.
Fourth, you need to trust His word (promises).
It may seem like the responsibility is completely up to you to provide for your needs, and that things are under your control. It is not! God wants you and I to be responsible, work hard, spend wisely, and give cheerfully to the work of the gospel. But He wants you to know it all comes from Him!

A vintage scene on a chocolate muffin: a salaryman hugging his belle, two good old boys sitting on opposite sides of the bench in silence, and a young boy being smacked by his grandmother with an umbrella. Classic life scenes.
The weather has been balmy over the last few days for the bank holiday weekend. Lots of people have been relaxing, but some folk (like the gardener in the corner) have had to work in the heat.
The climbers are pushing to get over the tenderstem broccoli mountain, though the landscape painter has the best view.
A miniature politician – “a new kind of politics”?
“It’s time for a new kind of politics. We need to be accountable to the public. To all or you, no matter where you come from”.
Does our miniature politician have the apples to make his mark?
Timelapse traffic at dusk with a little tilt-shift for miniaturisation. Cambridge Leisure Park in the background.
Timelapse and miniaturization of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. A lovely city with lovely people.
I like how the buildings look like they are made of Lego, and the character of the football pitches.

Blockchain technology is creating incredible opportunities for innovation and disruption. And when you start learning about all the possibilities, you might even come up with ideas for creating your own cryptocurrency.
However, programming your own blockchain is complex to say the least and this is probably where your dreams ended. But do they have to be? The Russian-based company Waves answers that question by allowing you to create your own token on their platform. They’ve created a blockchain platform on which everybody can issue their own token within minutes.
This may sound too good to be true, but it actually is that easy. All you need is 1 Waves crypto and an idea how to structure your token and you’re all set. But that’s far from all that Waves wants to offer. Ambitious as the team is, they’re also a decentralized exchange on which you can trade cryptocurrencies, fiat currencies and any tokens that were created on the Waves platform.
“Your blockchain token in one minute” used to be the first thing you saw when you opened the Waves website. Although they have changed this because of their broader orientation of services, it is still applicable.
In the name of research, I created a token on the Waves platform using the Waves Lite Client. All you need to do is come up with a name and description, decide how many tokens will be available and how many decimals they have and whether you want the option to add more tokens in the future.
Once you’ve finished these, you’re the proud owner of your own blockchain token. These tokens can be anything you want them to be. You can crowdfund a project through them, create your own micro economy, or do whatever your creativity guides you to. With this technology, Waves provides the world with a tool to digitise every asset and aid the world in becoming more decentralized and tokenized.
In addition to token creation, Waves has launched its Decentralized Exchange (DEX) on which the created tokens, existing cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies can be traded. This is a huge advantage for Waves. Today it can take months to get your tokens listed on the exchanges, but with DEX your tokens ready to be traded instantly.
All currencies listed are integrated in Waves through gateways. You can see gateways as a means to transfer a currency to a platform. An example is the exchange Kraken, on which you can deposit fiat currency to convert into cryptocurrencies.
These gateways are a unique selling point of Waves and they strive to create a gateway for every single currency in the world, both fiat and crypto. They plan to do this by creating a large network of third parties and license unrelated parties to operate these gateways. It’s hard to be more decentralized than Waves desires to be.
The Waves team wants to provide many more functions on their platform that are currently being developed, such as user-friendly smart contracts, a blockchain messenger, multi signature security, and as mentioned before, gateways for all existing currencies. In theory, Waves could become an independent decentralized economy. A completely free market approach is needed to create such an ecosystem, however, legal issues are bound to occur with this.
To illustrate, the free market approach of Waves has already made its first victims. In the spring of 2017, several tokens were issued with names like Bitcoin and Ethereum and sold on Waves’ DEX at a slightly lower price than the real coins. The buyers of these fake cryptos had no way of getting their money back due to the absence of regulations.
With an increase of tokens issued, a lot more scam tokens can be expected to be created. As we’ve seen with the ICO crackdown in multiple countries, the legal system worldwide is increasingly focussing on the legality of cryptocurrencies and their issuance and a possible infinite amount of scam tokens won’t help anyone.
Although Russia has been rather vague about their approach regarding ICOs , it’s to be expected that they will implement regulations in the near future. Since you can create an unlimited amount of tokens on Waves and deposit and receive any currency on the platform, Waves is prone to legal investigations. Anticipating this, Waves has partnered with the international consulting giant Deloitte to create a legal framework and tackle future legal issues.
Unlike most of the bigger cryptocurrencies, Waves doesn’t share much information about the team on their website and it takes a lot of effort to find information about the leadership of Waves. Maybe it’s a Russian thing, but you’d expect more transparency from company that’s worth over $500 million.
The founder and CEO of Waves, Sasha Ivanov, has a track record in the crypto space with multiple projects, of which the most successful is coinomat.com. This company was created to be a gateway service for both fiat and cryptocurrencies and now mainly provides Waves clients with information and support for how to create a gateway. Next to Sasha, we have the head community manager Martin Spodymek, engineer Alexey Kiselev as the main back-end developer, and Sergey Ishchenko as the leading front-end developer.
From a platform that has such big ambitions and is willing to create a wide array of new services and applications, more transparency and information about the team will be needed to establish trust. However, their recently announced partnership with Deloitte and their link to the Russian government does provide some reassurance as it can be assumed that these parties do their due diligence before announcing their cooperation.
Waves is the first blockchain platform that has found a way to make token creation easy for the average person. New cryptocurrencies can already be created on the Ethereum platform, however, this requires large investments in both time and funds. The tokens created on the Waves platform won’t be able to have their own technological innovations, but they can aid in the creation and funding of a wide array of projects. There is a clear difference between Ethereum and Waves.
For now, Waves is the highest valued decentralized exchange, but competition is on the way. NXT, Bitshares and Bitsquare are the most prominent growing DEX competitors and the idea of a DEX has inspired more tech entrepreneurs. They are all researching fiat and crypto gateways and providing additional financial services for trading such as margin and future trading. However, none of them seem to offer such a full package as Waves does.
There are two ways to buy Waves. The first is the traditional way (yes, this industry is developing so fast that there already is a traditional way) through centralized exchanges. Waves is listed on Bittrex, Shapeshift, Yobit and on several smaller exchanges.
The second way is a more exciting one, as you buy Waves through their own decentralized exchange. You install the Waves Client on your computer, deposit fiat, Bitcoin or Ethereum and place an order on the Waves DEX. You can also store your Waves cryptos in your Waves Client application. Additionally, Waves has an official wallet for both Android and iOS devices available in the Google Play and Apple stores.
Waves could reach mass adoption by making token creation easy and tradable. The team’s holistic approach of offering a multitude of complementary services looks promising, as the Waves platform could become the only platform you’ll need for all your blockchain interaction. That is, if the company can deliver on their promises.
More transparency would be much appreciated and is vital for the trustworthiness of the platform. If they find a way to structure the future potentially infinite amount of tokens possibly issued on the Waves blockchain, winning concepts could grow on the Waves platform and kickstart mass adoption. These winners will market their token and with that market Waves and most importantly, blockchain technology.
This doesn’t come without disadvantages. The completely free market approach will be highly susceptible to fraudulent tokens and a solid legal framework to regulate this will be necessary, however teaming up with Deloitte is a reassuring step. If the team behind Waves can deliver on its promises and implement all that they envision, we could see the birth of a completely new decentralized financial ecosystem.

Ranbireshwar Temple is a holy shrine dedicated to the abode of lord Shiva. It is likely to be considered as the twelve Jyotirlinga temples of Lord Shiva in India, very much famous for his large number of shiva Lingas presence in it. As, Per the ancient belief, Lord Shiva appeared in the dream of Maharaja Ranbir Singh Jamwal, and thus the king built the temple in this area.
Before going to elaborate more on the glory of Ranbireshwar temple, we should know more on the Maharaja Ranbir Singh who was the founder of this ancient temple with historic importance connected with it.
Maharaja Ranbir Singh, was known as General Shriman Rajrajeshwar Maharaja-dhiraj Sri Sir Ranbir Singh ji, Indar Mahindar Bahadur, Sipar-i-Sultanat, Mushir-i-Khas-i-Kaiser-i-Hind GCSI, CIE, Kaiser-i-Hind, was the head of the Jamwal Rajput clan and also Maharaja of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir from 1857- 1885.
He was born in August 1830 and belonged to the Dogra Dynasty.
During his reign, the trans-Himalayan regions of Gilgit, Hunza Nagar and Astore were conquered and included in the territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Ranbir Singh was a well known and reputed scholar of classical Persian and learned English, Sanskrit and Pashtu and was also learned in Swedish and English and had great Passion for learning in ancient scriptures and literatures including Jyotish, Tantra and Mantra.
Those manu-scriptural work of Maharaja Ranbir singh are still available in the library of Maharasjas.
Maharaja Ranbir Singh was also most renowned for his patronage of learning and scholarship and earned the esteem of his subjects.
Even he set up a department for the compilation and publication of significant works on the Hindu Law and Ritual in Sanskrit language; and for the translation of Persian and Sanskrit manuscripts into Hindi language as well including Jyotish, Tantra, Mantra and gathered it from accross all over the india.
This compilation of Sanskrit manuscripts, now preserved in the Raghunath temple library, is amongst the most valuable works in the country.
Ranbireshwar Temple is situated in the Center of Jammu city and devotees can come to this temple from anywhere. Shri Ranbireshwar temple is considered as one of the biggest Shiva temples in the whole north of India, Popularly known with the name of Ranbireshwar temple, named after Maharaja Ranbir Singh.
It was built by Maharaja Ranbir Singh, son of Maharaja Gulab Singh, the founder of Jammu and Kashmir princely State, in 1882.Currently Temple is managed by Jammu and Kashmir Trust Council. It is located on an elevated platform. The entry to it is from the west and a plain ground spans on the east side. Ranbireshwar Temple offers you panoramic view of the hilly area.
It has a big hall from the Verandah, which gives you Darshans of the two pairs of eleven Lingas and center having Largest Shiva Linga made of Black stone brought from Narmada River. One of Shiva Linga among these is made of crystal stone Shiva Lingam surrounded by small 12 shiva lingas, and rest are made of black stone. The Shiva linga placed in Jalhari is one of the biggest lingas, having height about 7-8 ft high.
It is Located near the Shalimar Road built by Maharaja Ranbir Singh and is most famou in north of india by its centrally placed biggest ‘Lingam’ measuring seven and a half feet or around 8 ft of height (7.5-8.0 ft.). The 12 Shiva Lingas those are in the temple are made of crystal measuring from 15 cms To 38 cms and having galleries with many Shiva ‘Lingams’ fixed on stone slabs in both the sides of temple.Some of them are also made of Crystals too.
Other Shiva lingas are having height of 18 inches high and 12 inches wide.Slab inside the temple on the right and left side has around 1.25 lakhs Shiva-lingas brought from Narmada river in very small size.
Centrally idol of Lord Shiva among Maa Gauri and Lord Ganesha is placed which is very beautiful and is considered to be unique as it is not present anywhere else.
In the temple, stunning images of Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati made of marble are also displayed on the walls.
The marble images of Lord Shiva carved on the black wall; big illustrations of Lord Ganesha, Kartikeya and Nandigan in the verandah and idols of Goddess Mahakali made by famous sculptors of Rajasthan are major highlights of the temple. Besides, devotees can find chinar and peepal tree within the premises.
All major Hindu festivals are celebrated with much excitement at this temple. It’s a time to rejoice and pray to the almighty. To experience the festivities of this temple, one can visit Ranbireshwar Temple in January (Lohri or Makara Sankranti), Maha- Shiv Ratri ( Feb), March (Ram Navami) and October (Deepavali) when the city’s people regale themselves in a celebratory air.
One of the features of the temple is that it is built on first floor and is situated at a big height from the road surface. The devotees have to take stairs to reach to the temple. The main attraction of the temple is the idol and Biggest Shiv linga of Lord Shiva.
There are also idols of Lord Ganesha, Kartikeya and Nandi Placed in the temple. The idol of nandi is made of brass and weighs around 1000 kg.
Beside this huge Idols of Lord Ganesha, Kartikeya Mahakali, and Panch Mukhi Hanuman are also installed in the veranda in front of the entry gate having huge Temple bell in the door.devotees visit this holy Jyotirlinga to acquire the blessings of the divine deity During Sharavan Mass and Maha Shiv Ratri and used to do Rudra Abhisheka among other Biggest Shiva lingam surrounded in temple in two pairs. The temple is highly crowded on the major festivals like Lohri, Shiv- Ratri, Makara-Sakranti, Deepawali and Ram Navami. .
The Maharaja Ranbir Singh laid the foundation stone of this temple in 1882 and all the Deities Idols were procured from Rajasthan and all the sacred linga brought from river Narmada and were brought in trains.
Maharaja Ranbir Singh at R.S Pura personally received these.
Later, these were carried to Jammu central place from Ranbir Singh Pura in a chariot with full devotion. The Maharaja himself pulled strings of the chariot assisted by his troops and thousands of other people singing bhajans in the praise of lord Shiva.
The construction of the temple took two years. In the meantime, the Maharaja Ranbir Singh had fallen ill. He, therefore, asked his younger brother, Raja Ram Singh to perform the inauguration ceremony of the temple.
But due to time and circumstances, it was too not acceptable to the fate of Raja Ram singh. In spite of the best efforts, Shiva linga could not be placed in the vedi . Consequently, the Maharaja Ranbir Singh though ailing, came personally to the temple, prayed to Lord Shiva and then with his own hands, helped by several other Shiva devotees mounted the lingam in the Holy vedi amidst chanting of ‘Har Har Mahadev’.
Local residents believe that Mahraja built this temple when Lord Shiva appeared in his dream. Mahabharat also mentions a story that says Arjun attained his powers after worshipping Jambu Devi in this area.
Nearest Railway Station : Jammu Tawi, The temple is located at a distance of about approx 3 km from the railway station.
Nearest Airport : Jammu Airport, which is around 8 km away from the temple.

how you all doing. i cant find this question any where so ill ask it. is there a limit to the amount of custom foods you can make on here. the reason i ask is i have made a few but not all of them are on my view my custom food list!! why is this? and where are they. also i have tried to custom a few other items and it would only let me create this item which is fine if i could find it after wards to add to my list. is there something or some place im missing where all my custom foods go or is there a limit to the number i can create?
I have about 50 custom foods in so far and I haven't had any trouble accessing them. Are you clicking on "create this food," or just hitting enter? Sometimes on this site, just hitting enter does not save things.
im pretty sure i hit create this food, but ill check. thanks.

The rain and storms continue, making life tough for homeowners across Britain, and particularly in the South West. The problem is also worrying businesses in the region because they rely on tourism and visitors.
Despite the terrible weather, Devon is still open for business. Most of the main tourism areas have been unaffected and while now may not be the right time to visit, the weather will change when winter is over. So, we're doing our very small part to encourage visitors to the region with a hefty discount on hire of our cars in Devon. We're lopping 20% off all Devon hires booked in 2014 and we'll give £5 to the Devon Community Fund for each one.
We have the largest fleet of classic hire cars in the South West from our convenient base in the heart of the region in Exeter. The fleet includes everything from Morris Minors to E Types. You can find out more at http://www.greatescapecars.co.uk. Prices start at just £120 with our Devon discount.
"The flooding situation for homeowners in the South West is very sad," explains Graham Eason of Great Escape. "The Government has intervened but local businesses need help too. Our offer is intended to help encourage visitors to Devon and also support local communities and homeowners."
You can find out more at http://www.greatescapecars.co.uk or call 01527 893733.

Abstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract mucosa and is related to an abnormal immune response to commensal bacteria. Our aim of the present work has been to explore the levels of antibodies (IgG and IgA) raised against extracellular proteins produced by LAB and its association with IBD. We analyzed, by Western-blot and ELISA, the presence of serum antibodies (IgA and IgG) developed against extracellular protein fractions produced by different food bacteria from the genera Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. We used a sera collection consisting of healthy individuals (HC, n=50), Crohn's disease patients (CD, n=37), and ulcerative colitis patients (UC, n=15). Levels of IgA antibodies developed against a cell-wall hydrolase from Lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus GG (CWH) were significantly higher in the IBD group (P<0.002; n=52). The specificity of our measurements was confirmed by measuring IgA antibodies developed against the CWH peptide 365-VNTSNQTAAVSAS- 377. IBD patients appeared to have different immune response to food bacteria. This paper sets the basis for developing systems for early detection of IBD, based on the association of high levels of antibodies developed against extracellular proteins from food and probiotic bacteria. © 2014 Arancha Hevia et al.

This cabin is one of our guests favorite due to the unquiet character of the house. It hosts a living-room with comfortable suede leather sofa and love seat and a cozy leather recliner next to the fireplace which is the perfect place to relax and read a book. A really cute dining set, breakfast bar with stools, two bedrooms with queen size beds with luxury mattress’s adorned with nice linens. The large country kitchen is fully equipped with everything you’ll need to make your meals if you haven’t chose to dine in the Wagon Wheel dining room. (Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner can be provided, Ask about pricing). It Also has two full bathrooms, one of which has laundry services for the guests to use during their stay. Wraparound porch host a hot tub for four with pull down privacy screens. Outdoor fire-pit and BBQ grill. This does not come with any outside corrals, so if you’re bringing horses with you, you’ll need to request covered stalls for them to stay in during your visit at the ranch.
This is a historical home that was built in 1958 by Mr. and Mrs. Guy Wallace. He and his wife raised their family in this house until 1978 when they retired and moved to be closer to their daughter in Spiro OK. The stone came right off of this mountain for the exterior walls. The Master bedroom and bathroom/laundry room was added after it was turned over to the nightly rental program. We hope you and yours will enjoy your stay in this home and come back time after time to make your family memories here just like the Wallace family did 60 years ago.

New York State took a bold and important step in September 2015 by adopting a phased-in $15 minimum wage for fast food workers at chain restaurants. That was followed by the even more important step of adopting a phased-in $15 across-the-board minimum wage in April 2016, becoming the first state, along with California acting at the same time, to adopt a statewide $15 minimum wage.
By all accounts, New York’s rising wage floor has helped lift wages for millions of low-wage workers, benefitting over one-third of the state’s workforce. In New York City, the minimum wage has risen from $7.25 an hour in 2013 to a range of $12.00 to $13.50 today. It has also helped give us a more balanced and sustainable period of economic growth. Inflation-adjusted hourly wages have risen across the board in recent years, lifting median family incomes after years of stagnation in the first few years of recovery from the 2008-09 Great Recession. Since 2013, real wages have grown by about 11 percent in the bottom third of the city’s workforce, where minimum wage effects are mostly felt.
Workers of color, who are over-represented among low-wage workers, have shared in New York City’s wage growth. From 2013 to 2017, inflation-adjusted median wages for black and Latino workers in New York City rose by about nine percent, surpassing the five percent growth in the median wage for non-Hispanic white workers. Strong job growth and sustained record low unemployment have certainly helped, but New York’s rising minimum wage floor has been instrumental in these very positive economic results. By these and other indicators, we are seeing the best broad-based economic results in New York City since the 1960s.
Now New York State should join seven other states (Alaska, California, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington) in eliminating the tipped wage subsidy provided to restaurants and other employers, which creates a two-tiered minimum wage that allows employers to count customer-provided tips as part of employee compensation. The states that have already done that all have fairly prosperous restaurant industries, and a continued practice of tipping wait staff for good service.
Statewide employment in both limited-service and full-service restaurants has grown impressively in the years since the general and the fast-food minimum wage hikes. Employment in limited-service restaurants has increased an average of 3.6 percent annually over the past four years, and 2017’s 4.1 percent growth was higher than in the three prior years. For full-service restaurants, employment rose an average of 2.9 percent per year over the past four years, and 2017 job growth exceeded that of the year before.
Much was made in the past year about a claimed decline in the number of restaurants in New York in 2016. It’s pretty clear that there must have been an administrative reporting problem—in the recently released data for full-year 2017, the State Labor Department reports 10 percent-plus increases in the number of limited-service and full-service restaurants in 2017.
One of the ways that New York City restaurants have been adapting to the higher minimum wage floor or cash wage required is through modest price increases. The NYC metro Consumer Price Index component for “food away from home” is a good proxy for restaurant prices. Over the past four years, food away from home prices have been rising by an average of 3.25 percent annually. This seems like a very reasonable response, effectively shifting some of the cost of higher minimum wages to consumers (whose incomes have been rising fairly steadily over this period).
Based on New York’s own experience in raising the minimum wage and the experience of the seven states that have eliminated the tipped wage credit, New York should begin to phase out the two-tiered minimum wage. In the hospitality sector, in particular, Labor Department data on employment, wages, and the number of restaurants show the beneficial effects of higher wages, as average and total wages have also risen steadily over the past four years for both full- and limited-service restaurants.
The cash wage that New York currently requires employers of tipped workers to pay is about two-thirds of the broader minimum wage. Elimination of the tipped credit wage subsidy is feasible and would continue the impressive progress that the State has made in recent years in lifting wages at the bottom. Eliminating the tipped credit would make it clearer to restaurant customers that tipping is a way of “thanking” servers for good service, and it would better facilitate effective enforcement by the Labor Department against all-too prevalent wage theft.

Last Week the EPA observed Air Quality Awareness Week. We nearly missed it, but there are a couple of things we learned last week that we wanted to pass along. The first thing we wanted to share was a link to a cool website called Air Now, www.airnow.gov that tracks air quality across the U.S. in real time. It’s like Doppler Radar for air quality. Today for instance you could see that Atlanta, GA is going to be a rough place for people with allergies.The map is actually tracking AQI or the EPA’s Air Quality Index which tracks for five air pollutants regulated by the EPA: ground-level ozone, particle pollution, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. There are six common air pollutants that the EPA highlights on its website if you include lead.
Choose a cleaner commute—share a ride to work or use public transportation. Combine errands and reduce trips.
Defer use of gasoline-powered lawn and garden equipment for later in the day, or for days when the air quality is better.
Get regular engine tune ups and car maintenance checks (especially for the spark plugs).
Avoid spilling gas and don't "top off" the tank. Replace gas tank cap tightly.
Properly dispose of household paints, solvents and pesticides. Store these materials in airtight containers.
Paint with a brush, not a sprayer.
Buy low VOC paints for indoor and outdoor painting jobs.
Air Quality Awareness Week is the beginning of Asthma Awareness Month which is also observes in May. Asthma, as most everyone knows, is a growing problem affecting 1 out of every 10 school aged children. The EPA also reports that over 13 million people reported having an asthma attack last year.
Take it outside. One of the most common asthma triggers in the home is second hand smoke. Until they can quit, people should smoke outside, not in their home or car.
Play it safe. Ozone and particle pollution can cause asthma attacks. People should check the Air Quality Index (AQI) to view reports of unhealthy levels.
Keep it clean. Dust mites are also triggers for asthma. For dust mite control, cover mattresses and pillows with allergen proof covers and wash sheets and blankets once a week in hot water.
Stake your claim. Household pets can also trigger asthma. People should keep pets out of the bedroom and off furniture.
Break the mold. Mold is another asthma trigger. The key to controlling mold is controlling moisture. People should wash and dry hard surfaces to prevent and remove mold, and should replace moldy ceiling tiles and carpet.
You can learn more by visiting EPA.gov.

For the sorbet prepare some syrup with sparkling water, glucose and caster sugar. Allow to cool and add the Schweppes tonic water and lemon juice and then the aromatic herbs. Blend the mixture and let this cool again before pouring into the machine.
For the coconut dacquoise prepare a meringue mixture with the caster sugar and egg white. Then add the coconut flour, ground almond and icing sugar. Spread this mixture on a SILPAT sheet and bake in the oven at 175°C for 15 minutes. Then use a biscuit cutter to create a disk of dacquoise.
Cover the bottom of a glass with almond yogurt.
Place some pineapple chunks on this.
Then add the coconut dacquoise.
Fill the glass with herbs sorbet.
Garnish with the herbs bouquet, a slice of dried pineapple and a few drops of extra-virgin olive oil.

DAVOS: Saudi Aramco welcomed a delegation of the global elite to a reception at the World Economic Forum which, even by the glittering standards of Davos, was a sumptuous affair.
Hosted by CEO Amin Nasser, the world’s biggest oil company greeted political and business leaders at the InterContinental hotel, a short drive through the ice night from the main Congress Hall venue.
Though the temperature outside was well below zero, the hospitality in the cavernous reception hall was warm. The guests — including ministers and oil executives from Saudi Arabia and top business executives and financiers from around the world — were treated to a selection of gourmet canapés and refreshments, and all seemed to be enjoying the convivial atmosphere.
Joe Kaeser, chief executive of the German engineering giant Siemens, said: “This is a pleasant break from the back-to-back business meetings of Davos.” His company is in the running for some of the big contracts on prospect in the mega-projects underway in the Kingdom as part of the Vision 2030 diversification strategy.
The guests were treated to an extravagant visual exhibition of the Manifa oilfield off the Saudi Arabian Gulf coast, which has been praised throughout the world for its innovative approach to combining oil exploration with environmental concern.
During its annual meeting the World Economic Forum recognized another Aramco project, the Uthmaniyah gas plant, as a “lighthouse” manufacturing facility and a technology leader in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).
In a short speech, Nasser thanked the guests for their continuing collaboration with Aramco, before handing over to Saudi musicians, including Madani Abadi on strings.

1. "Jesus" seems to be in the heart": Have each kid draw a red heart on one side, and write "Jesus" on the other side of a 3" square of paper. Staple the end of a straw down the center of the piece of paper so that the straw makes a stick (handle) with the paper at the top of the straw. Place the handle end of the straw between the palms of your hands, and move your hands back and forth making the straw and paper spin one way and then the other. As you watch the paper, notice that the word "Jesus" seems to be in the heart". Ask the kids how to put Jesus in their hearts. Teach Salvation from Romans 10:10-17.
3. Give yourself to Jesus; Explain to the Kids that the best present that anyone can give to Jesus is themselves. They do not have to be rich or pretty or anything else. You just have to ask God to forgive you of your sins. (Romans 10:10-17). Tell them that Jesus loves them just the way they are, so they do not have to have anything but a heart that wants Jesus. Ask them if they want to give themselves to Jesus. Then wrap the ones that do with a ribbon and bow, and lead them in asking for forgiveness and present them to God as a present.

Jan with daughters Jessica (left) and Sofia, eight.
How do you balance the ‘young’ with the ‘adult’ in the fiction genre? That was the question for Tauranga author Jan Goldie.
The mother of two knew first-hand how hard it can be for parents to find books for younger children who read at an older level. Her 10-year-old daughter Jessica currently reads at a 15-plus level, according to the Ministry of Education’s PROBE (prose, reading, observation, behaviour and evaluation) test.
‘Brave’s Journey’ is a fantasy adventure tale in which teenage boy Brave gets pulled into a vortex and ends up in an alternative universe. There, he meets a somewhat-troubled girl named True and together they journey through a land of danger and mystery.
Language is an important tool in telling the story and carefully mediating mature themes was the challenge for Jan.
Although Jan has had her work published before, this was her first full-length novel. Her first short story was published in the Sir Julius Vogel and Australian Shadows horror anthology ‘Baby Teeth - Bite Sized Tales of Terror’ and she gained a short listing for best short story in the Sir Julius Vogel awards.
She’s also co-author of the novella collection ‘Conclave’, which includes her YA fantasy story ‘A Mer-tale’.
The idea for ‘Brave’s Journey’ was spurred by the character names, the idea of calling her protagonists after personality traits.
It’s taken Jan a couple of years to get the final copy, with help from Tauranga Writers group and a mentorship with the New Zealand Society of Authors.
On September 17, Jan is launching her novel at The Incubator, Historic Village, in 17th Avenue at 6pm. In conjunction, a children’s art exhibition is being held to showcase works related to ‘Brave’s Journey’.

People Swear They Can ‘Hear’ This GIF, Can You?
GIFs have changed the way we use the internet. These short bursts of video are able to convey so many ideas, opinions, and feelings in only a few seconds. They are able to impart so much information without any audio. However, people swear they can “hear” sound in a new GIF despite it having no sound whatsoever. Confused yet? Let’s check it out to see if you can “hear” the silent GIF.
WHAT THE WHAT?!?! I can hear or unconsciously imagine the sound of the thump and the thud of the transmission towers slamming into the ground.
But not everyone can hear the sound that’s not actually there. Lisa posted a poll and found that 55% of people could hear a thud from the GIF while 24% said they heard nothing. There’s actually a scientific theory that can explain why you think you hear the boom of the impact.

Suppose once every 2-3 weeks I have a way to select a few equities that are likely to exhibit higher realized volatility in the future month (relative to the past month). Historically, the average realized vol relative increase on such selections is about 50%, and about 60-70% of the time the selection is correct (i.e. volatility indeed increases).
There is nothing in the forecast about the future implied vol.; the current implied vol. (at the time when a selection is made) is typically somewhat less than the past 30 days historical vol. (stocks being selected are in an up-trend; the methodology anticipates either a strong reversal or some range-bound oscillations in advance, before they happen).
A long straddle would be one of the simplest strategies in this context; however, sometimes there are no dramatic price moves, and the onset of higher vol. happens over 2-3 weeks, making the straddles nearly worthless due to their theta-decay.
What other trading strategies utilizing listed options could help exploit this situation? The underlying equities have modest option interest, thus liquidity constraints are relevant.

Using CORE, the nonprofit open-access repository at the center of Humanities Commons, as a case study, this presentation looks at the potential role of the disciplinary repository in the promotion, discovery, and dissemination of open educational resources. A socially networked repository, CORE allows users who upload relevant materials to immediately notify their subdisciplinary communities of interest of the upload, and to add those materials to a community's library on Humanities Commons. How, this presentation asks, might a socially imbricated repository enhance the discoverability of open resources uploaded there? How does the existence of spaces to discuss the creation, adoption, and remixing of open educational resources on the same platform as the resources themselves aid that adoption and use? Finally, does the fact that these resources are located on the same system academics use to share their research and other scholarship enhance or detract from their discoverability and use?

WHAT WEIGHS MORE: A CLOUD OR 100 ELEPHANTS? - Celmi s.r.l.
Home / Magazine / WHAT WEIGHS MORE: A CLOUD OR 100 ELEPHANTS?
WHAT WEIGHS MORE: A CLOUD OR 100 ELEPHANTS?
How can we weigh a cloud?
Peggy LeMone was in junior high, when she started pondering a simple (but not so much) question: “How much does a clould weigh?”. Now all grown up, LeMone is a researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and she’s figured out an answer.
First, find out how dense the cloud is. Scientists have measured the water density of a typical cumulus cloud as 1/2 gram per cubic meter.
Next, figure out how big the cloud is. A typical cumulus is about a kilometer across, and usually roughly cubical—so a kilometer long and a kilometer tall, too. This gives you a cloud that’s one billion cubic meters in volume.
Do the math with the density and volume to determine the total water content of the cloud. In this case, it's 500,000,000 grams of water. Putting it in more familiar terms: that cloud weighs about as much as 100 elephants.
If all those elephants were hanging out in the sky, they’d fall. So how does a several-hundred-ton cloud stay afloat? For one thing, the weight isn’t concentrated in a hundred elephant-sized particles or even a billion marble-sized ones. It’s distributed among trillions of really tiny water droplets spread out over a really big space. So gravity’s effect on them is pretty negligible.
What’s more, all those little droplets get some lift from updrafts of warm air. Those droplets don’t float forever, though. When the cloud’s water density increases and the droplets get bigger and heavier, the cloud eventually does fall, bit by little bit, in the form of rain.

Keith Negus and Michael Pickering have argued that a ‘critical interrogation of creativity should be central to any understanding of musical production’ (in Hesmondhalgh & Negus 2002: 147). As discussed in prior articles (McIntyre 2001, 2004a, 2006, 2007a, 2007b & 2008) recent thinking on creativity, in research terms at least, suggests that this phenomenon comes about through a multifactorial process and is centered in the confluence of these factors (Amabile 1983 & 1996, Gruber 1988, Dacey & Lennon 1998, Simonton 2003, Feldman, Csikszentmihalyi & Gardner 1994, Csikszentmihalyi 1988, 1997 & 1999, Weisberg 1993 and Sternberg & Lubart 1991 & 1992). Each of these so called confluence approaches includes to some varying degree social, cultural and psychological factors which need to be in place for creativity to occur.
Additionally, a search of the literature also reveals a certain set of commonalities in the definitional components used to delineate what creativity may be (for reviews see Rothenberg & Hausman 1976, Zolberg 1990, Bergquist 1999, Sternberg 1999, Runco & Pritzker 1999, Negus & Pickering 2004, Pope 2005 and Sawyer 2006). From this search it can be seen that creativity is a productive activity whereby objects, processes and ideas are generated from antecedent conditions through the agency of someone, whose knowledge to do so comes from somewhere and the resultant novel variation is seen as a valued addition to the store of knowledge in at least one social setting.
are believed by many to be literally true. But they are rarely critically examined. They are not theories, so much as myths: imaginative constructions, whose function is to express the values, assuage the fears, and endorse the practices of the community that celebrates them (Boden 2004: 14).
…bound art to personality, individuality and lifestyle, but at the same time made it possible to see in art the liberation of man by reminding him of his own inner potential. Being creative meant removing the barriers which imprison man from within, meant self-realization and freedom…Behind the criticism of commerce, which was seen as the opposite of creativity and communication, lay the Romantic appeal to the autonomy of the artist (Wicke 1990: 98-99).
Romanticism, as Wicke argues, is a myth that persists especially in artists’ approach to the studio. As such W.I. Thomas’s dictum must then become relevant to this analysis. This dictum states that the way people perceive a situation and the meanings they ascribe to specific actions predisposes them to behave according to those perceptions even if the perception is flawed. As Thomas asserts, ‘it is not important whether or not the interpretation is correct – if men [sic] define situations as real, they are real in their consequences’ (Thomas & Thomas 1928: 571-572). Once a belief like Romanticism becomes naturalized to the extent that it has in studio practice, whether or not all rationalist research points to it being a myth, ‘gradually a whole life-policy and the personality of the individual himself [sic]’ (Thomas 1967: 42) becomes based on the beliefs they hold and their actions are consequently premised on it.
It follows, therefore, that if one changes the perspective on creativity it can be argued that a different set of practical actions, theoretical pursuits and eventually a new set of beliefs will spring from the reconceptualization of creativity. Accordingly, this reconceptualization will also set up a differing conception of power relationships in the studio to those that emanate from a belief in Romanticism.
Mihaly Csikszentmilahyi has proposed a model of creativity that asserts that creativity results from the dynamic operation of ‘a system composed of three elements: a culture that contains symbolic rules, a person who brings novelty into the domain, and a field of experts who recognize and validate the innovation’ (Csikszentmihalyi 1997: 6).
Csikszentmihalyi asserts that the interconnections shown in the systems model [see Figure 1] are grounded in ‘dynamic links of circular causality’ (1988: 329). Therefore ‘the starting point on this map is purely arbitrary’ (ibid). While the model has had its critiques (Pope 2005, Weisberg 2007) it is important to realize that each component in the system is integral to it with one being no more important or less necessary than the other. In short ‘each of the three main systems – person, field and domain – affects the others and is affected by them in turn’ (Csikszentmihalyi 1988: 329). Each component is a necessary factor in creativity but not sufficient, in and of itself, to produce novelty.
Figure 1. “For creativity to occur, a set of rules and practices must be transmitted from the domain to the individual. The individual must then produce a novel variation in the content of the domain. The variation then must be selected by the field for inclusion in the domain” (Csikszentmihalyi 1999: 315).
Csikszentmihalyi has used different metaphors and analogies at various times to help explain the necessary interrelationships the system model highlights.
to study creativity by focusing on the individual alone is like trying to understand how an apple tree produces fruit by looking only at the tree and ignoring the sun and the soil that support its life…In other words, if one wants to understand creativity, it does not make any more sense to turn to a study of the individual than it would to a study of the field or of the domain. Real understanding may, however, come from investigating the interaction among all three’ (Csikszentmihalyi quoted in McIntyre 2004b: 6).
Csikszentmihalyi also argues that in order to understand creativity fully ‘we need to abandon the Ptolemaic view of creativity, in which the person is at the centre of everything, for a more Copernican model in which the person is part of a system of mutual influences and information’ (1988: 336). With these images, metaphors and analogies in mind one can then ask what each component in the system of creativity brings to its operation.
The domain, in terms of Csikszentmihalyi’s model, is the symbol system that the person and others working in the area utilize. It is comprised of the conventions, the knowledges, the system of symbolic codes and techniques the person must become immersed in, in order for novel variations to be made. For record producers the knowledge systems, skills and techniques they need to be aware of in order to make an impact in the studio include, but are not limited to, a knowledge of rhythm, melody, harmony, song structure, arrangement and instrumentation, some form of an understanding of psychoacoustics in order to effect changes in the emotional characteristics of a performance, knowledge of what constitutes a good performance and, increasingly, techniques for getting the most out of the technological apparatus in the studio.
I hated it at the time but later when I started to write and produce, I realized that having to learn and play all those hits had instilled in me an instinct for what works and what doesn’t. I didn’t have to think about how to construct a hit. I just knew (quoted in McIntyre 2008: 3).
Csikszentmihalyi (1997) also suggests there are some important ways, in general, the domain can contribute to the creative system. These include; its clarity of structure, that is, how well organized it is as a symbol system, its centrality within the culture, that is, its place within the cultural hierarchies it has to compete with for funding and, its accessibility, that is, how readily it is able to be transmitted from one person, one cultural producer, to the next.
What does the person bring to the system of creativity? The answer could be summarized quite quickly as nature, nurture and access. An individual’s personal life experiences, their familial position, their class and gender, their peculiar biological attributes manifest in talent, and many other shared and unique characteristics would predispose them to acquire and use knowledge of certain domains and not others and allow them to act easily in one field and not another.
The field, on the other hand, is the social organization, the hierarchy of groups and individuals who deal with and can influence the knowledge system, the specific cultural domain, on a regular basis. The field is thus ‘a complex network of experts with varying expertise, status, and power’ (Sawyer 2006:124) If the field is ‘made up of experts in a given domain whose job involves passing judgment on performance in that domain’ (Csikszentmihalyi 1997: 42) then a list of those people who have the varying expertise and power to perform this function in the field of record production would need to include a producer’s peers in the studio, that is, other producers, engineers and musicians, as well as A&R executives. These would constitute, as Pierre Bourdieu would also have it (Negus, 1996: 67), the immediate cultural intermediaries who can affect change directly. Importantly ‘cultural intermediaries do not work as gate-keepers who filter products according to organisational conventions, but as mediators’ (Negus 1996: 62-63) who contribute their input to the studio project’s creative output.
As Sawyer (2006: 127) also indicates, not only are there a set of intermediaries but a creative individual working in the studio is also aware, even if it is implicitly, of the broader audience. The audience includes the layers of connoisseurs, amateurs, and publics the production is aimed at. All of these ‘have an influence on the creative process, even if the creator is alone in a room in the woods’ (Sawyer 2006: 128). The intermediaries in the field may play a critical role in evaluating and contributing to creative works but, as Sawyer argues, ‘after they’ve made their choices, the ultimate test for a creative work is whether or not it’s accepted by a broad audience’ (Sawyer 2006: 126-127).
In many ways the audience, who use the output in expected and unexpected ways and also actively engage in the creative construction of meaning, is always ‘the elephant in the room’ at every recording session. Since creators ‘internalize an anticipated reception of their work as a part of the process of production’ (Robbins 2007: 84) that audience is an unspoken and potent presence whose acceptance and approval is always being worked toward even by those who insist on the Romantic nature of their task.
Csikszentmihalyi (1997: 44) argues, additionally, that the field contributes to the creative system by choosing a broad or narrow filter to select novelty. That is, it can allow a significant number and variety of novel changes into the domain or narrow the prospects of success in producing original works by only selecting a limited number of changes to the domain to count as creative works as periodically happens in the field of popular music. The field can also contribute by being conservative or adventurous, by being reactive or proactive in soliciting novelty or it may do both at different times dependent on circumstances occurring within the wider society. The field of popular music, as a matter of course, needs new songs to continue to operate. Songs, and the recordings they exist on, keep distribution outlets working, customers satisfied on youtube, myspace and itunes, recording operations busy, touring and production companies on the road and the coffers of publishing houses full.
It is also critical for a domain’s success for the field, the social organization that is concerned with that domain knowledge, to be well connected to the rest of the social system and thus able to channel support in the form of financial, political, cultural and moral influence into that particular domain (Csikszentmihalyi 1997: 44). The vertical and horizontal integration of the music industry, which includes not only recording but the publishing and performance arms of that industry, with other corporate entities, plays its part in this process as does the cultural and social necessity of popular music itself. In this sense the sociohistorical context a music community exists in is significant to what is produced within it.
The community pays for and supports the music, whether directly with money or indirectly by allowing the performers to live as musicians. Community support usually influences the future direction of the music. In a complex society such as that of the United States, various communities support different kinds of music – classical, rock, jazz, gospel – and they do so in different ways. Classical music for example gets its strongest boost from middle class people climbing the social and economic ladder. When music becomes a mass-media commodity, then packaging, marketing, and advertising are as crucial to the success of musicians as to perfume. How the community relates to the music-makers has a profound effect on the music (Slobin & Todd Titon 1992: 13).
The community, or in this case the field of popular music, is thus a powerful component in the creative system. However, while ‘competition among new memes is fierce’ (Csikszentmihalyi, 1997:372) it can be argued that, even at the level of society, ‘too much divisiveness, as well as its opposite, too much uniformity, are unlikely to generate novelty that will be accepted and preserved’ Csikszentmihalyi, 1999:323). As such, it can be seen that the entire field is a setting for value distinction and a site of social validation.
The notion of a field being important to creativity and cultural production is not a new one. Using the same term, and I would argue describing much the same phenomena as Csikszentmihalyi, Pierre Bourdieu described a field as an arena of social contestation. While Csikszentmihalyi’s use of the term field tends to emphasize its Darwinian functionality Bourdieu, revealing his Marxist roots, conceives of the field in a complex and conflictual way. For him fields can be seen as dynamic spaces which ‘denote arenas of production, circulation and appropriation of goods, services, knowledge, or status, and the competitive positions held by actors in their struggle to accumulate and monopolize…different kinds of capital’ (Swartz 1997: 117).
economic capital, which is immediately and directly convertible into money and may be institutionalised in the form of property rights;¼cultural capital, which is convertible, on certain conditions, into economic capital and may be institutionalised in the form of educational qualifications; and¼social capital, made up of social obligations (connections), which is convertible, in certain conditions, into economic capital (Bourdieu 1986: 243).
It is obvious to anyone who has spent time in the studio environment that the provision of economic capital as patronage, such as that supplied by record companies in order to finance a producer’s, engineer’s and musician’s time in the studio, often seen most immediately in the budgets allocated by A&R people, brings with it a certain amount of leverage. For the people working in Motown’s studio in Detroit this economic capital had both direct and indirect effects.
as the market indicated its preference for certain types of Motown product, the company’s core of songwriters and producers gained more self-confidence in their own personal sound and a house-style began to emerge. By 1962 those artist whose potential was proven, or was considered promising, started to receive the most attention while acts of questionable commercial viability were eased out (White in Brown 1982: 714).
In this way the Motown ‘creative team forged the unique Motown sound’ (ibid) which emanated, in part, from a form of self-regulation which moved the studio’s output in certain directions.
…took Gehman to Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida, and set him up. “At the time it was Atlantic South,” he says referring to the record label. “Tom Dowd was there, Jerry Wexler, Arif Mardin” (ibid).
As another example, the ability to have a certain musical part played the way a producer wants it played will often come from knowing the right session player who can play the part with the least amount of bother or the most efficiency. In short, it is advisable for a record producer to have a certain amount of social capital in order to make and keep the necessary connections, the ‘web of interpersonal relationships’ (Turow 1982: 126) most studio work is built on. In the words of Hank Shocklee, studio operatives must ‘network, network, network, network’ (2007).
a form of knowledge, an internalised code or a cognitive acquisition which equips the social agent with empathy towards, appreciation for or competence in deciphering cultural relations and cultural artefacts (in Bourdieu 1993: 7).
The possession of this type of capital is generally acquired through a long process of inculcation into the field and allows the agent, the person working in the field, to gain possession of a meaningful understanding of the works produced. For Bourdieu a cultural product has ‘meaning and interest only for someone who possesses the cultural competence, that is, the code, into which it is encoded’ (in Bourdieu 1993: 7). In this case the possession of cultural knowledge, usually acquired personally through an immersion in the domain or the field of works, becomes related to the ability to wield power.
As an example, if a record producer understands and can demonstrate the usefulness of the one drop beat – that is, withdrawing the sound from the initial downbeat in a reggae tune and placing the emphasis on the third beat of a four beat bar, as a form of rhythmic device that clearly creates space for other instruments to exist in and one first popularised by Carlton Barrett from Bob Marley’s rhythm section – that producer will be able to manipulate the studio practice of certain musicians who share to a degree those cultural competences. Lee Scratch Perry (Perry 2008: 38), while working in Black Ark Studios in Jamaica, might have had more than enough cultural capital to obtain compliance under these circumstances. However, if a producer is dealing with a swing band a different form of cultural capital will have more value. A knowledge, be it formal or informal, of the peculiarities of a shuffle beat, which is achieved by playing a triplet feel but not including the middle note of the triplet and how that rhythm is a little more exact than swing time and how the loose connection between a straight time bass line and a swung traps player helped produce a rhythm characteristic of early rock and roll, will all have more cache, more cultural capital, with a band of that ilk. In this case someone like Dave Bartholomew (Olsen et al 1999: 36-38) working with Cosimo Matassa in J&M Studios in New Orleans, would possibly hold the necessary cultural capital to use as an authoritative tool in achieving the end results he was after.
Without a demonstration of a sound working knowledge of microphone characteristics and placement and the ability to deploy this knowledge profitably in the studio, an engineer would also find it difficult to impress on a producer or musician the necessity for using an unusual microphone set up, as Geoff Emerick (in Martin 1983) and Richard Lush (2007) have so often done. The use of this sort of domain knowledge and the deployment of an engineer’s skill and technique is significant as this capital gives these engineers a certain set of influences in the overall creative process (McIntyre & Paton, 2008).
It can be seen then that a producer’s and an engineer’s ability to wield power within the field, and therefore get things done in the studio, is dependent in many instances on the accumulation of cultural capital they hold as well as the maintenance of social relations within the field. These forms of capital don’t operate in isolation from each other but are, of course, interdependent.
Further to this, a degree of symbolic capital is also a critical factor in the way processes of power operate in the studio. As Marshall argues, ‘the power of celebrity status appears in business, politics, and artistic communities’ (1997: 2) not the least of which is the popular music industry. Celebrity in this case acts as ‘a way of providing distinctions and definitions of success’ (ibid) for those working in the studio and this ‘celebrity status confers on the person a certain discursive power’ (ibid).
A producer like Phil Ramone, for example, who has produced and worked with Paul McCartney, Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Gloria Estafan, Barbra Streisand and many, many others needs no real introduction in a studio setting. It can be argued his abilities are written all over his curriculum vitae, in the awards he has garnered and the multiple successes he has had. He is ‘no less than an icon in the subculture of professional producers and engineers’ (Massey 2000: 49). If he rings, makes a suggestion or offers an opinion on a production he has the weight of his considerable symbolic capital to affirm his position, status, role and thus influence in the studio.
the entire collection of noble rock stars just froze. The silence was palpable…It was uncanny how the whole room was there to pay deference to this man, just as the awaiting media were. The musicians in the room, big stars, genuinely famous across the planet and rightly full of their own achievement, seemed to unite in recognising that here was the head boy, the role model that defined pop star, that personified creativity, songwriting and fame (Barrow & Bextor 2004: 15-16).
To a lesser degree a similar set of power relationships occurs for artists such as Sting, as demonstrated in his role as songwriter for The Police during their heyday.
He’s the star of the show. Everyone’s running around for him. He is getting incredible amounts of money. Whereas in the movie world he’ll have to work under directors and he can’t say ‘I’ll be two hours late’ or ‘I’m canceling that’ whenever he wants to (Copeland in Sutcliffe and Felder 1981: 94).
Being the hope of the team does produce enormous pressure, probably more so on Sting than the other members of the band because he has to produce the raw material: songs. As Stewart relates: “there’s one immediate way of getting yourself fired from A&M, the ultimate no-no. You go up to Sting and say, ‘Written any good tunes lately?’” Of course tunes have been flowing out of Sting since he was in short trousers. But their function has changed. Now they have to entertain millions, producing huge profits and employment in every sphere touched by the rock business – not just record companies but pressing plants, sleeve and label printers and designers, badge and T-shirt makers, journalism, publishing, printing, newsagents, TV and radio. And authors. That’s what Sting has to put behind him when he settles down to write. “If you’re trying to be creative, trying to be original, you can’t come up with a brilliant idea every day. It just doesn’t happen,” he says. “I used to go through months and months of paranoia about it, but the more you worry about it the worse it gets.” It’s during these blocks that the conflict of emotions about his special place within the band reaches an acute pitch: “I know for a fact when we’re approaching an album Stewart and Andy are thinking ‘we’ll write a few songs okay, but Sting will write the album’. And I know I’ve got to do it, but is it there? I do resent that…even though there’d be terrible trouble if they did suddenly come up with the best songs, just hell!” (ibid: 81).
It can be argued then that the changes that occur in a field, the struggles that take place in this arena of social contestation, are often built around a distinction being made not only in a person’s reputation, as seen in the operation of their symbolic capital, but also the amount of economic, social and cultural capital they can bring into play.
Fields are thus spaces where struggles for dominance take place and those struggles are centred on economic, social, cultural and symbolic factors. In making this claim one needs to emphasise the diffuse power relationships that often exist implicitly within the operation of the field in cultural production. ‘The state of the power relations in this struggle depends on the overall degree of autonomy possessed by the field, that is, the extent to which it manages to impose its own norms and sanctions on the whole set of producers’ (Bourdieu 1994: 60). In this case a record producer, engineer, musician or A& R person who possesses the social, cultural or economic competence to operate within the studio environs will have greater leverage than those who don’t. It appears to be a fact of studio life. One could go a step further and claim that the reason a producer, engineer or session musician is hired or financed by record companies in the first place is for their possession of all of the forms of capital outlined by Bourdieu.
A producer’s ability, for example, to make decisions, be they organizational, technical or musical ones will be circumscribed by their studio competence which is itself dependent on their immersion in and an understanding of the domain of record production. Their power to get others to make decisions in their favor is also both constrained and enabled by their connections to the field, the social hierarchy that holds the domain as a central part of its operation. This is to say that a record producer’s agency, the ability to make and effect decisions, is dependent on the structures, principally the domain and field, they encounter and surround themselves with. As such their freedom to act is relative to the domain and field they work in and not, as a Romantic view of creativity would have it, a case of having no impediments to their action. This kind of relative free will ‘does not presuppose a random universe, but neither does it allow the possibility that all choices are themselves forced outside circumstances’ (Teichmann & Evans 1991: 45). Free will in this case is always circumscribed by structural factors. This position runs counter to the idea of the absence of constraint; an idea held as a deep belief in Romantic circles and one which constitutes one of their central myths.
Theories that invoke social mechanisms and determinisms in order to explain our apparently most personal and free actions are often understood as being equivalent to a pure and simple negation of the realities that we call freedom and the personality’ (Bouveresse in Shusterman 1999: 48).
those who think in simple alternatives need to be reminded that in these matters absolute freedom, exalted by the defenders of creative spontaneity, belongs only to the naïve and the ignorant’ (Bourdieu 1996: 235).
a ‘feel for the game’, a ‘practical sense’ (sens practique) that inclines agents to act and react in specific situations in a manner that is not always calculated and that is not simply a question of conscious obedience to rules. Rather it is a set of dispositions which generates practices and perceptions. The habitus is the result of a long process of inculcation, beginning in early childhood, which becomes a ‘second sense’ or a second nature (Johnson in Bourdieu 1993: 5).
practice is always informed by a sense of agency (the ability to understand and control our own actions), but that the possibilities of agency must be understood in terms of cultural trajectories, literacies and dispositions (Schirato & Yell 1996: 148).
It does not follow from this that in order to be free agents we somehow have to liberate ourselves from social structures and act outside them. On the contrary, the existence of these structures and institutions enables any activity on our part, and this applies equally to acts of conformity and acts of rebellion…all action, including creative or innovative action, arises in the complex conjunction of numerous determinants and conditions. Any concept of ‘creativity’ which denies this is metaphysical, and cannot be sustained (Wolff 1981: 9).
Bourdieu would also agree with this proposition. His deep intellectual concern was after all in pursuit of this one fundamental question. He said himself that ‘all of my thinking started from this point: how can behaviour be regulated without being the product of obedience to rules?’ (Bourdieu quoted in Swartz 1997: 95). He was not alone in this quest.
In his book Central Problems in Social Theory: Action, Structure and Contradiction in Social Analysis (1979) Anthony Giddens also attempted to ‘resolve the dispute between determinists, who believe that human behavior is entirely determined by outside forces, and voluntarists, who believe that humans possess free will, and can act as they wish’ (Haralambos & Holbern 1995: 906). In doing so he coined a rather ugly word, structuration, to indicate the intimate and interdependent relationship between agency and structure and importantly for this paper associated part of this with the operation of power in institutional settings.
For Giddens the constraining and enabling aspects of structure are connected to the sources of power that operate within institutions. It can be identified in the rules and resources used by the structure or institution engaged with. As Haralambos and Holbern (1995) explain rules can be reproduced or changed by new patterns of interaction since they are procedures rather than expressly written regulations although they can also change these as well. Resources have two forms. Allocative resources are the physical things that have been transformed by human action. Authoritative resources on the other hand are non-material and result from the action of one individual on the other. These resources ‘involve the ability to get others to carry out a person’s wishes, and in this way humans become a resource that other individuals may be able to use’ (Haralambos & Holbern 1995: 906).
In this way it can be seen that all individuals are not equivalent, either in institutions or fields. Some individuals within the field will ‘wield more influence and decision-making power than others’ (McIntyre, 2004a: 180) as indicated above.
if power were never anything but repressive, if it never did anything but to say no, do you really think one would be brought to obey it? What makes power hold good, what makes it accepted, is simply the fact that it doesn’t only weigh on us as a force that says no, but that it traverses and produces things, it induces pleasure, forms knowledge, produces discourse. It needs to be considered as a productive network which runs through the whole social body, much more than as a negative instance whose function is repression’ (Foucault quoted in Jordan & Weedon 1995: 479).
The action of power in this diffuse manner accounts for the way purposeful human action can reproduce and transform structures and structures can both constrain and enable that action.
By examining power relationships in the studio and setting them against the conceptions of creativity and cultural production, detailed by both Mihaly Csiksentmihalyi and Pierre Bourdieu, a comprehensive account of this phenomenon can be arrived at. There are some remarkable similarities and, of course, significant differences in these approaches. For example while Csikszentmihalyi’s use of the term field tends to emphasize its Darwinian functionality Bourdieu, revealing his Marxist roots, conceives of the field in a more conflictual way. Despite having differing yet somewhat related ways of defining culture Csikszentmihalyi’s conception of a non-linear multifactorial system in operation can be complemented by the differing complex mechanisms that Bourdieu suggests. It is not that either conception is more complex, rich or precise in its account of creativity or cultural production but that, despite their differing antecedents, aspects of these complex approaches are compatible and complementary in assessing the way power operates.
In this case the individual will derive a habitus (Bourdieu 1993) from their personal background (Csikszentmihalyi 1988) through existing inside a cultural domain and societal field and, in acting inside that habitus, derive and utilise the various forms of capital suggested by Bourdieu in their interactions with both the field and domain. It can be argued therefore that power, as it operates in the recording studio, has a number of properties. It suffuses the productive networks and the daily practices of the systems it runs through. It inflects, influences and directs the nature of the collaboration that occurs within creative groups; in this case those that consist of musicians, producers, record companies and technicians.
Finally, it can be concluded that it is in the interplay between the components of the system, and the power that each enacts, that creativity in the studio is produced.
According to the originator of the term, Richard Dawkins (1976), ‘memes’ are the smallest units of cultural information that replicate themselves and are seen as culturally analogous to genes. While this proposition has given rise to a new field of study called ‘memetics’ the proposition is, itself, still somewhat contentious.

Mobilizing your workforce to quickly achieve targets set by top management requires a team of managers who can effectively lead from the middle. Here’s how you can accelerate this movement in your organization.
If you believe leadership starts at the top and flows downward through the veins of the organization, then your organization is a heart attack waiting to happen. Television series like Mad Men showcase a time when leadership started at the top. The guy in the corner office with a cigar in his mouth gave the orders and everyone followed suit. Those days are long gone, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, unless your organization does a poor job of selecting and training leaders who reside in the middle.
Key in on the real movers and shakers. How does work really get done in most organizations? The CEO and directors have the titles. However, the real movement happens through middle managers. These are the people who can get the work done or slow it down. Front line managers are tasked with getting their people to do more with less. They have to explain why there will be no raises this year, even though the company is paying out record bonuses to executives, or why layoffs are in order, even though some departments are actively hiring. Some will take the challenge head on, while others will close their doors (if they have doors, that is) and hope that no one knocks.
Prepare those in charge of carrying out the marching orders for the battle that is about to take place. Leaving them in the dark and expecting them to perform at a moment’s notice is a practice that must be eliminated. Trust the people you’ve placed in management and provide them with guidance on how to handle situations that will at times feel uncomfortable.
Capitalize on ideas presented by middle managers. Middle managers are closest to the end users and are usually the first to know about problem situations. They have ideas that can turn these situations into gold mines. Middle managers at Japanese brewer Asahi are a testament to the power of what can happen when you unleash the talent that resides in the middle layers of management. Their middle-management team developed Super Dry Beer, an innovative product that allowed the company to capture new market share. This success is credited with the struggling company’s turnaround. After launching Super Dry Beer in 1987, the company doubled its market share, and today continues to boost revenues with the recent $1.3 billion purchase of the New Zealand beverage group Independent Liquor, which gives Asahi a ready-to-drink cocktail maker to add to its growing assets. None of this would have happened if Asahi hadn’t taken its middle management team seriously.
To create an innovative middle management team, you have to make it okay to try new things and to fail. Otherwise people will merely execute what they are told to do and will do nothing more.
Tap into the informal organization to catalyze great work. Much is written about the formal networks that exist in organizations. However, there is more powerful network that exists in companies. We call this the informal network, which operates behind the scenes. Here, deals are cut daily among people working in the middle layers of the organization and those they supervise.
The ability to cultivate strong relationships is a skill that can be taught. Research finds that a person’s ability to effectively maneuver around the organization (often referred to as office politics) is beneficial to both the employee and the organization. Companies who recognize this skill as vital to the success of the organization will outperform those who still believe office politics is a disease that must be contained.
Strong leadership in the middle will produce outstanding operational results, easing the need for top managers to oversee and intervene in day-to-day operations. A strong middle management team also will proactively develop a constant stream of new ideas to remedy problems and seize new opportunities. Middle management excellence is key for great overall performance.

The video series all started when Mike received a new video camera for Christmas. He and his wife have a background in radio, so the ideas must have flowed naturally. Now they have a YouTube channel called Our Wyoming Life. It is off to a great start with over 1500 subscribers in less than a week.
We hope our channel helps people understand agriculture better through education and the chance to experience the life first hand. We have already talked to people across the world that have embraced the opportunity to learn that hamburger doesn't just come from the grocery store. A lot goes into feeding the world. Our main goal is to bring the consumer closer to the producer. Whether it's beef, pork or veggies.
The videos are simple, entertaining, and informative. They paint a picture of their life as ranchers in Wyoming, and they make it look easy. The feeding of over 150 cattle every day, growing vegetables for the local farmers market, upkeep on farm equipment are all just parts everyday ranch life.
Challenges always differ, but the great equalizer is the weather. This year I am fighting a lot of snow, drifting mostly. And the cold It's hard on animals, fences, and equipment.
In the video, Mike describes their farm animals as their extended family. Both in the videos and when talking with Mike, you could tell his heart was with the animals he tends to.
I spend more time with them than I do anyone outside of my family. They all have unique personalities, quirks, and behaviors. Calving is very rewarding. Being there for the bond between calf and mom. I like to think the cows know I'm there to help, in fact I've had cows come to me for help when they lose their calf. Usually they leave their calf sleeping somewhere while they go chase grass and forget where they left them.
If you want to connect with Our Wyoming Life, find them on Facebook or subscribe to their YouTube Channel.

Laugardalslaug Hot Springs, Rejkavic Take a soak to warm up in these expansive outdoor geothermal pools. Great way to recharge after a cold wet day. There are many hot pots in the city, this one has a fun colorful slide and lots of different pools. Don’t miss it!
Seljalandfoss and Gljufurarfoss Waterfalls Stop along route 1 to see these falls, Gljufurarfoss is smaller, less visited, but more exciting, you’ll need to take your shoes off to walk up river to a hidden cavern this waterfall pours into, but worth it to stand numb footed in this magical cavern with a waterfall pouring in.
Seljavallalaug Swimming Pool Don’t miss this! Short hike to a geothermal pool built in the 20’s that has been kept in decent repair. Bring your swim suit, there are changing rooms, jump into the pool to warm up and enjoy views of the valley you’ve hiked through.
Reynisfjara beach, outside Vik Beautiful black pebble beach, absolutely worth stopping the car for a stroll on the beach and to peer into the massive sea cave.
Fjadrargljufur, gorge hike Easy 1 hour hike along the edge of a 100m deep gorge. Easy hike rewards great views.
Hengifoss and Litlanesfoss, Waterfall hike This hike is a 4 hour out-and-back if you want to go all the way to the base of Litlanesfoss to walk into the small cove under the falls. This is a strenous rocky hike up a river, be prepared to get dirty and wet, but feeling the force of the falls from underneath is unforgettable.
Myvatn Nature Baths It’s like a small Blue Lagoon sans crowds! Soaking in the blue waters is a great way to wrap up the day. Slight sulfur smell, grab a beer to bring into the baths and you’ll forget about it.
Arnarstapi – Hellnar Trail, Snaefelssnes Peninsula A beautiful coastal hiking trail. It’s an out-and-back that has the delightful little Fjoruhusid Café as the turn-around point. Grab a beer on the patio and watch the waves crash on the rocks before heading back.

While small stray hex wrenches can get just about any job done, it doesn't mean they get the job done comfortably. To make wrenching away on your steed more comfortable, Park Tool offers the P-Handled Hex Wrench. It comes in assorted sizes, and combines a long hex wrench with a comfortable, ergonomically molded nylon handle that makes it easier to torque down on hard bolts. It features two different sides, so you can reach into distant bolts, or get the leverage you need to break loose seized bolts. The P-Handled Hex Wrench comes in assorted sizes from 2-to-12-millimeters, so you can find the right size for just about any job in your bike shop.
I like having a couple of long handle allen wrenches for installing saddles or adjusting cockpit controls. I have had good luck with my other park tools so I'm excited to give this a try.
Besides climbing hexes, these are the only ones I use. The ball end can sometimes strip out a bolt but it's more useful than annoying when getting into the funky angles on a bike. Also use them around the house as everyday tools, they're great.
When it comes to working on your bike, don't go with low quality tools. These hex wrenches will maintain the health of your bolts and make servicing your bike a breeze.
Seriously, why trust anything else but faithful old blue. Great tools to add to anyones home shop!
Once again Park Tools comes through with the quality. I’ve rounded off cheaper ball-end hex wrenches, but my Park Tools always seem to last. This is a nice collection to have for any home bike mechanic.

MIITO has been designed to provide users with a super adaptable device that can heat a variety of liquids directly in the vessel of your choice, watch the video to see the device in action.
This quote by Leyla Acaroglu during her 2014 TED Talk inspired us as designers and innovators to rethink the electric kettle. Here at MIITO we love a good cup of tea, but let’s face it: traditional kettles are wasteful. In order to make a simple cup of tea, you end up overfilling the kettle. This wastes energy and water and also means you have to wait longer for it to heat up. We set out to change this by eliminating the electric kettle completely and replacing it with MIITO.
Visit the Kickstarter website now to make a pledge from €75 and help MIITO become a reality.

The Company notes the recent press speculation regarding a proposal for the requisition of a general meeting to invoke changes of certain members of the Board of Tungsten.
While no requisition of a general meeting has been received, the Company confirms that Odey Asset Management LLP has indicated that it intends to propose resolutions to seek the removal of certain directors of the Board of the Company, being Nicholas Parker (Chairman), Richard Hurwitz (Chief Executive Officer), Ian Wheeler (Non-Executive Director) and Davide Benello (Non-Executive Director) and the appointment of Tony Bromovsky and Duncan Goldie-Morrison to the Board of Tungsten. The Company is aware that Odey Asset Management LLP has received irrevocable undertakings from certain shareholders of the Company, being Disruptive Capital Investments Limited and other associates of Edi Truell, and Hadron Capital LLP, in support of Odey Asset Management LLP's proposed resolutions.
The Board regrets that this initiative has been taken at the moment that Tungsten has reached an inflection point. As announced on 4 June 2018, the Company narrowed EBITDA losses in FY18 to an expected £4.6m and reported monthly EBITDA breakeven during the first four months of the calendar year. Revenues for FY18 are expected to be £33.7m and adjusted operating expenses are expected to be £36.0m. This compares with revenues of £22.5m, adjusted operating expenses of £45.2m and EBITDA losses of £25.2m for FY15, the year immediately before Richard Hurwitz became Tungsten's CEO.
It is the Board's intention to enter into discussions with its shareholders regarding this matter. The Company will provide a further update in due course.
The information contained within this announcement is considered by Tungsten to constitute inside information as stipulated under the Market Abuse Regulations (EU) No. 596/2014. Upon the publication of this announcement, this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain. The person responsible for arranging for the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is Patrick Clark, Company Secretary .

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is pleased to welcome Dr. Svetlana Mitrovski. She joined the department in July as a Teaching Associate Professor.
Dr. Mitrovski joins the department following 10 years as an Associate Professor at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. At EIU, she taught a variety of chemistry courses to undergraduate and graduate students: instrumental analysis, quantitative analysis, general chemistry courses, critical reading of chemistry literature, and more.
“I’m happy to be back,” said Mitrovski, who earned a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Illinois in 2006, studying PDMS-based microfluidic devices that operate on electrochemical principles under Ralph Nuzzo, the G.L. Clark Professor of Chemistry. She conducted postdoctoral research with Dr. Nuzzo following her graduation.
“One thing that I really liked about Illinois is that chemistry and chemical engineering were coupled in a single school. I liked that because before I came to the USA, I used to work in an area of catalysis that is interdisciplinary between the two,” she said.
A native of Serbia, Mitrovksi earned her BS in Chemical Technology and her MS in Physical Chemistry, Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering from the University of Belgrade. Before coming to the U.S. to further her graduate education, she worked as a researcher at the Center for Catalysis and Chemical Engineering at the Institute of Chemistry, Technology and Metallurgy at the University of Belgrade doing fundamental and industrial research.
In her free time, Dr. Mitrovski enjoys ballroom dancing, traveling, hiking, and swimming.

Mobile games aren't just for passing time at appointments anymore.
To me, the best part of mobile games is being able to play them on the run. But according to a new study, many people play mobile games when they are at home. The study surveyed around 15000 US consumers and found some pretty incredible numbers. 96 percent of respondents said they played mobile games at home at least once a day. The most common place to play them at home is in bed, where 53 percent of those at home play. 52 percent play for over an hour and a whopping 32 percent play for more than 3 hours a day.
But mobile games aren't just played at home. The study revealed some other locations that have similarly high uses. 83 percent said they played mobile games while waiting for an appointment and 72 percent while commuting. 64 percent said they play while at work or with friends and 46 percent in class. Social games were most popular, with over 62 percent of people preferring them to other types. What this study reveals is that games that have a more in-depth time requirement can be developed, because many people play at least an hour a day at a stationary location.

Sparkling wine producer Henkell & Co has taken a 60 per cent stake in Wiltshire-based wine importer Copestick Murray.
Henkell & Co, which is headquartered in Germany and also has a UK distribution company based in Leeds, has acquired the stake for an undisclosed sum.
The business said it aims to develop Mionetto as a leading Prosecco brand in the UK as part of the new venture.
Robin Copestick, director and co-founder of Marlborough-based Copestick Murray, said: “The partnership with Henkell is a perfect fit for our company. Their speciality in making sparkling wines all over Europe is very exciting for us.
Dr Andreas Brokemper, chief executive of Henkell & Co. Group, added: “The UK is the largest market for Prosecco Spumante (DOC) outside of Italy and one of the fastest growing markets for Prosecco overall. The Mionetto brand gives us a leading Italian Prosecco brand with a long history and superlative quality.
Copestick Murray was founded in 2005 by Robin Copestick and Paul Murray. Its portfolio includes the ‘I heart’ wine brand.
