Dr. Alan R. Lifson has made substantial research contributions in the field of HIV/AIDS control and care and, as an educator and leader, has been a strong advocate for global experiences for public health graduate students.
Dr. Lifson’s research and expertise around HIV care and treatment has led him to serve as a consultant with organizations like the Centers for Disease Control, National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD), the World Health Organization, and the U.S. Agency for International Development in more than 10 countries worldwide. In Ethiopia he developed programs with community support workers at the village level to assure that HIV positive patients received appropriate education and follow-up care. Since 2008 Dr. Lifson has collaborated with NASTAD Global Programs providing technical assistance for the design and implementation of HIV research and evaluation activities in both Ethiopia and South Africa on best practices in the areas of retention of HIV patients, HIV treatment, and care programs. With a recently awarded grant from the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Lifson is currently evaluating the association of khat use among HIV-positive persons with the retention of patients in HIV care in Ethiopia.
As an educator and leader, Dr. Lifson developed and teaches a popular graduate course, “Epidemiology of Global Health,” and serves as the chair of a task force charged with developing a 15-credit Global Health certificate program that will provide students the skills needed to work in health settings around the globe. Dr. Lifson has tirelessly worked on behalf of master’s of public health students to provide them with the practical experience of working in the global field of public health. Dr. Lifson has established himself as a leader in co-curricular activities, and his leadership in the planning and development of new procedures and programs in international educational programs continues to enhance the goals of excellence and global engagement for the University of Minnesota. Dr. Lifson's commitment to global health has been most recently demonstrated by his support to the American Refugee Committee as a Health Advisor, providing expert consultation and assistance for their response activities to the Ebola epidemic in Liberia.
Dr. Lifson has demonstrated, by example, the importance of global citizenship that he values so highly. He has represented the University of Minnesota at all levels from national ministries of health to local rural villages, helping to build bridges around the world especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Dr. Lifson, through his own accomplishments, has advanced the University's mission of global engagement, and, through his educational and training activities, is helping to develop the next generation of professionals to continue this work.

Formed of Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire, the land-locked West Midlands features the cities of Coventry, Birmingham and Wolverhampton.
To the west of Birmingham, there is an area known as ‘The Black Country’. During the Industrial Revolution, it was one of the most industrialised parts of Britain with coalmines, coking, iron foundries and steel mills. This heavy industry produced a high level of air pollution. These days the area doesn’t suffer in this way and there are buildings that remain that tip their hat to this part of the region’s history. The area also has its own unique dialect known as ‘Black Country spake’.
This part of the world was also known for its brewing and brew pubs and as any good ghostly tourist knows, where there’s a pub, there is invariably a ghost.
Once you’ve located your ideal haunted hotel, West Midlands offers a wealth of fantastic places of interest to make your stay one that you’ll never forget.
We feature just some of the most haunted hotels in West Midlands. If you know of a haunted hotel in West Midlands that we’ve missed, we’d welcome your suggestion. Just click on the ‘Contact Us’ link in the footer at the bottom of the website.

"Children suffer significantly more face-to-face bullying than online abuse," reports the Mail Online.
UK researchers questioned nearly 300,000 15-year-olds about their experiences of bullying in the biggest study of the subject to date.
They found 30% of the teenagers who replied experienced regular "traditional" physical, verbal or relationship bullying, while 3% experienced both traditional and "cyberbullying", such as being on the receiving end of unpleasant text messages or social media posts. Less than 1% experienced online bullying only.
Teenagers who reported being bullied twice a month or more were likely to have poorer mental wellbeing than those who weren't bullied that often.
But because the study was just a snapshot in time, we don't know whether poorer mental wellbeing was caused by the bullying.
Though the results suggest cyberbullying is less common, this finding is based on around 110,000 adolescents who took part in the survey. We don't know why 190,000 of the adolescents invited to take part in the study didn't respond to the bullying questionnaire.
This is very much a "good news, bad news" story. Cyberbullying may not be as big an issue as the media sometimes suggest. But traditional bullying remains a problem that hasn't been consigned to the past.
The researchers say any attempts to control the perceived rise in new forms of cyberbullying should also include efforts to crack down on traditional forms of victimisation.
Read more advice about bullying and what you can do to help your child.
The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Oxford and had no specific funding.
It was published in the peer-reviewed journal The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health.
The Times, Mail Online and BBC News all carried accurate and balanced reports of the study.
BBC News made the point that the study looked at those who'd experienced regular bullying in the past couple of months, so the 97% of teenagers who didn't report cyberbullying might have experienced it, but not regularly or recently.
The Times' photographs illustrating the piece showed very young children, and the headline suggested bullying took place in "the playground" – but the study only included teenagers.
The low response rate to the survey also wasn't pointed out by the media.
The study had two parts. It was primarily a cross-sectional survey to gather data on how many teenagers had experienced different types of bullying.
It also measured mental wellbeing, and the researchers did an analysis to see how this was linked to experiences of bullying.
While cross-sectional studies are useful ways to spot links between issues, they can't tell us whether one causes the other.
Researchers contacted 298,080 15-year-olds in 150 local authorities across England using a database of pupils. Parents or guardians were sent letters allowing them to opt their child out of the survey.
Teenagers completed the survey on paper or online. They were asked to state how often they'd experienced eight types of bullying, including two types of cyberbullying. They were also asked to fill in a mental wellbeing scale.
Researchers used the results to assess the prevalence of different types of bullying and see whether regular bullying was linked to lower mental wellbeing.
I was called mean names, made fun of, or teased in a hurtful way.
Other people left me out of things on purpose, excluded me from their group of friends, or completely ignored me.
I was hit, kicked, punched, shoved around, or locked indoors.
Other people told lies or spread false rumours about me and tried to make others dislike me.
Other people made fun of me because of my body weight.
Other people made sexual jokes, comments or gestures to me.
Someone sent mean instant messages, wall postings, emails and text messages, or created a website that made fun of me.
Someone took unflattering or inappropriate pictures of me without permission and posted them online.
Teenagers also filled out the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, a 14-point questionnaire used to measure psychosocial health, wellbeing and functioning.
Researchers looked for correlations between reports of bullying and wellbeing.
They were able to adjust their figures to take account of gender, ethnic background and deprivation (based on postcode data), but not other potential confounding factors that might have played a role, such as mental ill health or abuse in the home.
Researchers got results from 120,115 teenagers, about 40% of those contacted. Girls were more likely to respond than boys.
Nearly one-third (33,363 or 30%) said they'd been bullied at least twice a month in the previous two months, either face to face or online.
Regular bullying was reported more often by girls (36%) than boys (24%).
Regular cyberbullying with no face-to-face bullying was reported by 406 teenagers, less than 1% of the total questioned.
Regular traditional and cyberbullying was experienced by 3,655 teenagers (3%).
The researchers said regular experience of any type of bullying was linked to lower mental wellbeing.
But they found no evidence that cyberbullying was more harmful than traditional bullying – in fact, traditional bullying seemed more strongly linked to lower mental wellbeing.
The researchers concluded their results support the position that "cyberbullying is unlikely to provide a source for new victims, but can best be understood as a new avenue for victimisation for those already suffering traditional forms of bullying."
They say their findings "are in stark contrast to media reports that young people are now more likely to be victims of cyberbullying than traditional forms".
Those putting in place strategies to curb cyberbullying should be aware that measures are only likely to be effective if they also consider "the dynamics of traditional forms of bullying", the researchers say.
Being bullied is a relatively common and distressing experience for many children and adolescents.
Research in recent years has linked the experience of being bullied as a child to the development of mental health problems like anxiety and depression.
It's perhaps not a surprise that cyberbullying in this study almost always occurred when teenagers were also being bullied offline.
The internet is a tool, not a separate entity from the human world, and people who bully in one part of life may also use internet tools to bully in cyberspace.
If anything, it's surprising how few teenagers reported having experienced regular cyberbullying, given how common smartphone use is among this age group.
Only 40% of the children contacted completed the questionnaire, and more than 9,000 didn't complete the bullying section. Though this is typical of survey response rates, we don't know whether adolescents are more or less likely to participate in such a survey if they're being bullied.
As a cross-sectional study, it can only look at what happened at one point in time, so those who experienced bullying more than two months before they filled in the questionnaire wouldn't have been picked up by this report.
Cross-sectional studies can't tell us which came first: bullying or low mental wellbeing. This means the study can't tell us whether bullying causes low mental wellbeing.
The researchers couldn't include possible relevant factors, such as teenagers' history of mental illness or difficult circumstances at home, in their calculations. The teens' varying levels of wellbeing might be caused by other factors that weren't measured.
The authors' conclusions – that good anti-bullying interventions are needed to tackle both traditional and cyber forms of bullying – seem sensible.
There are several organisations that can help if you or your child is experiencing bullying, such as Family Life, Bullying UK and Kidscape.

My Good friend Alan Watson receives a wonderful honor….
It is with very great pleasure that I get to write this blogpost!
My good friend and editor Alan Watson has been recognized in the 2015 New Zealand New Year’s honor list by Queen Elizabeth and is to be awarded The Queen’s Service Medal. This is a truly unique honor to be bestowed on a magician. The award will be presented by the Governor-General of New Zealand Lieutenant General The Right Honorable Sir Jerry Mateparae GNZM QSO on behalf Queen Elizabeth II at an investiture in May.
This highly prestigious award was presented to Watson for his services to the magical arts, which makes it not only a wonderful tribute to Alan but also a powerful boost to the recognition of our art form in general. To my knowledge this is the only Royal award of it’s kind that has been presented to a magician for his life work.
The letter Watson received from New Zealand’s Prime Minister The Rt. Honorable John Key went on to elaborate on the reason for the award by stating; “Our success as a nation relies on citizens from all walks of life stepping forward, helping others, seeking new ways of doing things, and reaching for their dreams. You have made an outstanding contribution to that success and enriched the lives of us all.” Everyone who knows Watson will appreciate the resonance these words have when applied to Alan.
As you may imagine a great deal of consideration and research goes into the decision of presenting an award such as the Queen’s Service Medal. When you read the elements that went into the choice of Watson to be granted this honor it is an impressive list. Let me just mention just a few of the previous awards that have been presented to Alan.
In 2010 Watson received The International Presidential Citation from The Society of American Magicians. In 2006 he was the recipient of the New Zealand Variety Artists Club Benny Award for Lifetime Achievement. In 2005 he received Grand Master of Magic Award, Supreme Award. 2005 also saw Watson presented with The International Brotherhood of Magicians, Presidential Citation. In 2002 Watson received the prestigious J Marberger Stuart Foundation, DRAGON Award.
However it isn’t the awards that make Alan Watson such a great addition to the magic community, it is his actions that have been the reasons for receiving these accolades. He has promoted magic tirelessly and selflessly his entire life, and raised New Zealand’s profile enormously in international circles across the globe. In the last ten years he has arranged $70,000 of sponsorship for young magicians to attend conventions and lectures in New Zealand. Not just a proud member of the magic world Alan is a proud ‘Kiwi,’ and never prouder than when he can combine these two loves in this sort of manner.
It has been my privilege to work on Magic New Zealand with Alan for the past seven years and I am always amazed at the endless energy and enthusiasm that he dedicates to this wonderful and totally free magical resource. Money is not the motivation for Magic New Zealand or any of Watson’s magical projects—he makes a very fine living as a magical performer! The reason that Alan shines as such a bright star in the magic world is his sheer love of our art form.
I take this opportunity to congratulate Watson on this wonderful recognition for his contributions to magic over the years. Those of us who are lucky enough to know Alan didn’t need any special awards to appreciate his singular achievements, however the fact that half a world away in Buckingham Palace this was noted and rewarded by Queen Elizabeth is something very, very special. Congratulations my Kiwi brother.

Australia missing an enormous opportunity to improve technology industry.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton is in the final stages of preparing the government’s response to a review of visas, which is expected to involve major changes to the Migration Act. In April 2017, the Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP and Peter Dutton jointly announced that Australian 457 temporary work visa will be abolished and replaced with TSS (Temporary Skills Shortage) visa which will starve companies of vital and scarce skills according to Danile Petre, co-founder of Airtree Ventures and Bill Bartee who runs the $200 million CSIRO Innovation fund, Main Sequence Ventures.
Mr Petre said Australia needed to take advantage of the political climate in the US under President Donald Trump, to attract the tech industry’s brightest talent to Australia. But the current trend with immigration is wasting the chance.
“At a time when Trump is telling brown-skinned data scientists to go f— themselves, we should be able to bring them to Australia, but we have this moron in Peter Dutton saying we don’t want to have more of these people in the country,” Mr Petre said.
Mr Bartee said Australia was particularly short in large tech product management roles and would continue struggle to commercialize good ideas from within universities and business if there was no significant change in approach. He also warned that numbers at Australian universities in tech-related courses is a big worry for the future for the economy.
He also warned that Australia has a declining population of developers and engineers at a time when we need them more than ever as the number of computer science graduates coming out of universities actually declining and half of them are international students who are leaving the country.
Mr Petre has developed a reputation for speaking his mind in local business circles and recently warned that Australian retail is facing “Armageddon,” caused partly by terrible online shopping experiences. He also said that leading industry figures willfully kept Australia behand the global curve by insisting that global tech-led change would not apply to Australia.
“That should be understood at a board and management level, but that whole thread is missing in most of corporate Australia,” Mr Petre said.
Tech entrepreneur Matt Barrie has also previously mentioned that declining number of young Australians in tech industry is “an absolute crisis” in Apr 2016. The number of IT students had fallen by somewhere between 40 per cent and 60 per cent in the last decade, with the number of women enrolling in technology degrees also dropping dramatically.
So, where are we heading Australia? Where do we stand in our future without all the smart tech-savvy brains? I guess Peter Dutton has to address that question as well.

And yes, it is a founding member of the Climate Leadership Council—which supports a $40 per ton carbon tax—and it recently endorsed Americans for Carbon Dividends, a new bipartisan lobby group promoting a carbon tax that would return revenues to taxpayers.
Just Say No Curbelo’s bill is hardly the first carbon tax legislation that ExxonMobil has snubbed.
The measure, which Majority Whip Steve Scalise sponsored just days before Curbelo introduced his carbon tax bill, passed by a 229 to 180 vote, and a majority of ExxonMobil-funded lawmakers lined up in favor of it.
All told, 78 percent of the 174 House members who have received ExxonMobil campaign contributions since 2013 voted for the resolution.
Three years later, the House passed a Scalise resolution with the same wording as the one earlier this month.
Eighty-five percent of the 237 House members who voted for the resolution received ExxonMobil funding since 2013.
That’s exactly what ExxonMobil claims to support: a revenue-neutral carbon tax.
Two years later, the Senate voted 58 to 42 in favor of a budget resolution amendment introduced by Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt prohibiting a carbon tax.
Investors have made oil majors consider safe climate limits. What next?
Even holdout Exxon Mobil has analysed what holding global warming to 2C means for its business.
Shareholder activists have moved on to target second-tier companies, winning resolutions to make Kinder Morgan and Anadarko follow suit.
Several firms pre-empted a vote by agreeing to their demands.
In Europe, where most oil majors have already produced 2C scenarios, the conversation is turning from disclosure to action.
We have set up a Patreon account.
It’s a simple, safe and easy way for you to become part of a community that will secure and guide our future.
But, as a Carbon Tracker report this week highlighted, corporate scenario analyses show everyone winning.
In other words, they waste money on unburnable fuel and profits dive.
The proof oil companies are taking climate risk seriously will come when they cancel expensive exploration projects, which cannot pay off in a 2C world.
That was the central question argued in federal court on Thursday as attorneys representing San Francisco and Oakland tried to beat back efforts by ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Royal Dutch Shell to have a judge throw out a potentially groundbreaking climate change related lawsuit.
The nearly three-hour hearing was the latest round in a burgeoning effort by cities and counties nationwide to hold major fossil fuel producers accountable for climate change-related damages.
Last year, seven California cities and counties sued the oil majors, claiming that their production and sale of fossil fuels—even as they were aware of the risks of CO2 emissions—constitute a public nuisance.
Thursday’s hearing represented the first major test of such lawsuits as Judge William Alsup considered whether the Oakland and San Francisco complaint should move forward.
That left Chevron, the only defendant headquartered in California, to argue for dismissal based on the merits of the case.
And Congress, Boutrous argued, has again and again passed laws in favor of fossil fuel production.
Two weeks ago the U.S. Department of Justice filed a brief supporting the five oil companies, and on Thursday, Eric Grant, a deputy assistant attorney general, was given time to express the federal government’s opposition to the San Francisco and Oakland suits.
To which Berman, the plaintiff’s attorney, responded, “That’s what the trial is for.
One of the top offshore oil and gas success stories reported in the past year has been a string of major Exxon Mobil Corp.-led discoveries off the coast of Guyana.
Because ExxonMobil and its partners expect to reach approximately 450,000 barrels per day of production from the South American country by 2020, efforts are underway in that locale to essentially build a domestic oil and gas industry from scratch.
The Official Language is English A former British colony, Guyana is South America’s only English-speaking country (although English is also widely spoken in its Dutch-speaking neighbor Suriname).
Given the ethnic diversity of their descendants, however, Guyanese also speak a Creole dialect, various Amerindian languages, Chinese and a dialect of Hindi, according to the Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook entry on Guyana.
It has taken the industry decades to accumulate its considerable storehouse of knowledge about safe operations.
As a newcomer in the offshore sector, Guyana will need to turn to this world-class knowledge base.
“Although Guyana has maintained a strong compliance with safety regulations, growing to accommodate existing industries, additional safety regulations are needed to protect workers and the environment,” said Arnold.
“Given the complexity and technical nature of offshore extraction, the industry’s most current and best practices will be implemented in Guyana, which may have a positive impact on other industries in the country.” Arnold observed that some specific current and best practices include: Using risk assessment tools The management of change (MOC) process Competent person development programs Human behavioral based processes Process safety practices In addition, the Proforma executive said that Guyana will need to address its regulatory development and compliance standards to ensure worker safety and environmental protection.
The development of Guyana’s oil and gas industry also will likely mean significant workforce opportunities for the country’s citizens.
Two Colorado counties and the city of Boulder are suing ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy, Canada’s largest oil company, to hold them responsible for climate change-related damage to their communities.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in a state district court by Boulder, Boulder County and San Miguel County, is seeking compensation for damage and adaptation costs resulting from extreme weather events.
Boulder, 25 miles northwest of Denver, is the county seat of the 740-square-mile Boulder County and home to nearly a third of the county’s 319,000 residents.
The Colorado communities contend that ExxonMobil and Suncor were aware that their products caused global warming as early as 1968, when a report commissioned by the American Petroleum Institute (API), the U.S oil and gas industry’s premier trade association, warned of the threat burning fossil fuels posed to the climate.
That share could amount to tens of millions, if not billions, of dollars to help cover the cost of more heat waves, wildfires, droughts, intense precipitation, and floods. “Our communities and our taxpayers should not shoulder the cost of climate change adaptation alone,” said Boulder Mayor Suzanne Jones.
According to a 2014 study by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) and the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization (RMCO), the region experienced nearly four times as many wildfires larger than 1,000 acres between 1987 and 2003 than between 1970 and 1986.
Rising temperatures and drought, meanwhile, threaten the state’s $41 billion agricultural sector.
All told, the company’s production and transportation activities in Colorado were responsible for more than 420,000 metric tons of global warming emissions between 2011 and 2015, according to the complaint.
According to the complaint, Suncor’s Colorado operations were responsible for 900,000 metric tons of carbon emissions in 2016 alone.
Exxon tried to convince U.S. District Court Judge Valerie A. Caproni that New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey were infringing on the company’s free speech rights and the AGs were pursuing politically motivated investigations.
The company’s claims that the AGs “are pursuing bad faith investigations in order to violate Exxon’s constitutional rights are implausible,” the judge continued.
Caproni dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, meaning Exxon cannot file it again. “At every turn in our investigation, Exxon has tried to distract and deflect from the facts at hand.
As the Court noted, Exxon’s claims in this lawsuit were “implausible” and unsupported, while its strategy amounted… https://t.co/Cwbl6lGNeO — Eric Schneiderman (@AGSchneiderman) 1522364673.0 Healey said, “Exxon has run a scorched earth campaign to avoid answering our basic questions about the company’s awareness of climate change.

Get in touch: md@climatehomenews.org Reclaiming coal This week we published an investigation, six months in the making, into the arrangements for cleaning up after US coal mines.
And staff cuts are weakening enforcement of environmental standards.
Oh, and Ireland has announced plans to join the international Powering Past Coal Alliance and close its last coal power plant in 2025.
EV crunch In Norway, electric car supplies cannot keep up with demand.
An ExxonMobil-funded senator from Oklahoma, James Inhofe, cited a debunked ExxonMobil-funded study at a recent Senate hearing.
Inhofe seized the opportunity to contradict Booker, claiming that minority and low-income communities are disproportionately harmed by environmental protections, specifically citing the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan, which would have dramatically reduced carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants if Pruitt hadn’t repealed it.
Inhofe rested his argument on previous congressional testimony by Harry Alford, president of the National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC), a shoestring, mom-and-pop operation that is unapologetic about taking fossil fuel industry money. “Of course we do and it is only natural,” Alford wrote on NBCC’s website.
One of NBCC’s closest economic friends is ExxonMobil, which has donated more than $1.14 million to the group since 2001.
The Union of Concerned Scientists took a close look at the report and found it was based on several flawed fossil fuel industry-friendly studies.
ExxonMobil Spreads its Money Around But there’s more than just the fact that ExxonMobil financed deliberately flawed studies to try to derail the Clean Power Plan.
Then there’s ExxonMobil’s link to Pruitt, Oklahoma’s attorney general before President Trump tapped him to run the EPA. “The debate” over climate change, they wrote “is far from settled.

"I think 20 years from now, people will look at 9/11 the way they look at the assassination of JFK today," he added, in an interview with radio host Alex Jones. "It couldn't possibly have been done the way the government told us."
In a post on its Web site Tuesday, Newsbusters said the suggestion lacked any common sense and amounted to "moral repugnance."
"Just so Fox is clear about the people whom they've given soapboxes, Geraldo and the Judge are apparently unconvinced by physics, common sense, and the simple human decency of their elected officials," wrote Newsbuster's Lachlan Markay.
Meanwhile, Media Matters Eric Hananoki wrote: "Napolitano's belief in 9-11 conspiracy theories may make things awkward with his Fox News colleagues – especially Glenn Beck - who have denounced 9-11 conspiracy theories and those associating themselves with anyone making them."
A federal report in 2008 determined fires at the World Trade Center site ultimately spread to 7 World Trade Center and weakened critical floor beams and structural columns of the nearly-50 story building, leading to its collapse. The building– which housed offices of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Secret Service and the Giuliani administration's emergency response center - was completely evacuated at the time of its collapse.
Fox News did not respond to CNN's request for comment.
the rest of us are willing to take.
Just act like a tree and L E A V E !!!!!!!!!!
It sells news, to claim conspiracy. There will always be those who want to believe in such unproven theories.
Of course, it has occurred to no one, or at least I have yet to hear anyone voice the possibility......that those structures may have been flawed, to start with. How many times a month, do we hear about, somewhere in the world, buildings that just collapse.......only to find bad construction as the cause?
What is Geraldo expecting the investigation to turn up? Al Capone's vault?
Has it ever occurred to anyone that the same group of Muslim terrorists who orchestrated 9/11 also planted detonation devices outside the towers to assure that they exploded upon impact by the two planes? Even if the towers DID collapse because of causes other than fire, why does everyone jump to the conclusion that it was an "inside job" involving the government? Why would it NOT be the same group of terrorists responsible for the other two plane hijackings and crashes that day?
I concur with the conspirator theory people. As a psychic, I saw the collapse of the World Trade Center about 15 months prior to its occurrence and do know that part of what came through was "George Bush is directly involved." At the time, I did not realize that the destruction was anything other than planned, and I asked a person who was with me when I got the vision of the future why anyone would be taking down the World Trade Center in as much as it had only been built in the mid 60's. Because the event was planned and executed, I saw no danger, but also noted that in "the months and years to follow, thousands if not millions would die" and I assumed that it was perhaps because of a release of a virus or bacteria. History confirms the acts and we know the deaths to be the result of a war waged that resulted from the actions of George Walker Bush in the destruction of the World Trade Center. The truth will come out, but the perpetrators may only have their legacies soiled, rather than receiving the just punishment expected. That is a real shame. A trial of George Walker Bush for Crimes Against Humanity would at least help to restore America's standing in the world and would show the world that we are willing and able to take action when an affront against humankind has been committed.
I don't get it, what problem do both of these groups have with that? This might be the first time I'm siding with FOX News. Even if they're wrong and World Trade Center 7 came down from fires from the other two towers, that doesn't mean they're in the wrong for investigating it. I'm more confused as to why these two groups would be offended by this. That seems much fishier than anything FOX did in this case.
The real answer is locked in Al Capone's vault.
Everything FOX spouts is a "conspiracy theory"..........and all the RWs believe it.
Breath-takingly unsubstantiated, brain-dead comments by Faux News commentators. That's breaking news in the tradition of "water runs downhill" and "dog bites man".
People usually don't want to acknowledge the 800 LBS gorilla in the room, but that doesn't necessarily means that all citizens believe in their government, specially when there is no credibility in any thing or every thing the government says or does. After the oil spill in NOLA, and democrats wanted to get to the bottom of the many crimes committed by big oil, but republicans, as always, afraid to find out the truth, refused to give subpoena powers to investigators, because they already knew that those crimes had been committed, ergo, they denied subpoena powers. Which brings me to pre 9/11 accounts that corroborated, beyond any doubt, that Bush and cronies not only knew the attackers' plans, but refused to stop it. Bush was caught red handed saying that: You covered your a**, now leave me alone. And what happened when Bush had to give in to the viticms' survivors desire for an investigation and he couldn't fight it no more? He allow, over his dead body, for the investigation to star and how could he impacted so the truth couldn't be found out? No subpoena power. There is a saying that states: "You can foll some of the people, some of the time, but not all the people, all the time. He could preach to his war criminals, but many know that he had more to do with 9/11 than he admits. It's beyond belief to believe the boy who cried wolf and yet people are afraid of allowing the 800 LBS gorilla in the room and the frail democracy of ours cease to exist. And that is part why, now, war crimes are not crimes any longer and torture, extra judicial killing of prisoners have become our new justice system. O tempora! O Mores!
Do these same folks blast MSNBC or Keith Olberman for saying Bush did it? I seriously doubt it. Media Matters is a Soros controlled organization and the only media that has ever mattered to it is FOX, the rest are just fine and supported by them.
Who really takes Geraldo seriously anyway. People that dont vote. Folks who love Springer and WWE.
Who knows! It probably came down just like the government said it did. The video does look a bit strange, and the collapse was similar to standard implosions, but strange things happen. Maybe that's just how a building that's left to burn down and collapse looks. Haven't seen many to compare it with.
This is how you demonize those who do not parrot the government group-think. Despite the fact that a very large number of experts and specialists also have their concerns, even asking the question will get you branded as morally repugnant. So much for a free, open society.
Building owner Larry Silverstein said he decided to "pull" WTC7. What else could that mean except demolition?
As for the comment re: "common sense" and "simple human decency of elected officials" - what a tard.
World Trade Center Building 7 is without question, "very problematic!" If you ask most Americans, they are not even aware that a third building collapsed on September 11. If a "minor" fire in that type of building can cause a collapse on the magnitude of a demolition impulsion, then every person in this country should be extremely concerned for their safety and those who claim to be educated and trained in engineering should be deemed without merit. It also means that we have government oversight agencies designed to insure human safety and engineering technologies/principles being compromised. Geraldo Rivera and Judge Andrew Napolitano are correct in raising the spector concerning World Trade Center Building 7 and the events of September 11.
You americans make me laugh so hard, it's true power leads to ignorance.

HIV testing is done by two different types of tests: screening and confirmatory. These tests are meant to be very specific for HIV. Both tests should be positive before a result is called positive for HIV.
Screening test: The first test performed to determine for HIV status is called a “screening” test. The scientific name for this test is an ELISA. This test is purposely set to detect as many people as possible. If the ELISA test is positive, the lab usually repeats it on the same sample.
Confirmatory test: If the second test is positive, then they do a confirmatory test. This is scientifically called a western blot or immunofluoresence assay.
There is a small chance that one or either of these tests will be falsely positive. That is, the test is positive but the person really does not have HIV. Some diseases or vaccinations (Influenza shots) can occasionally turn the test positive but then on repeat it becomes negative.
An example of this is a patient I once had that received antibodies (immunoglobulins). They had a positive result that ultimately turned out negative once retested. The best advice is for anyone with a positive test to go see a doctor qualified to test and counsel them on HIV and be retested to confirm the results.

As the story goes, Abraham Israel Segal and his wife, Ester Hodel Ricken had a tavern in Russia (their ship manifest said they came from Ostroh which is now in Ukraine) and that Abraham was a maker of vishnick, a sweet wine made from the local cherries abundant in that part of the world.
A local Cossack, who had a crush on their oldest daughter Bessie, told Abraham that there were rumors of pogroms coming soon and that if Abraham left him the tavern, he would warn him prior and allow him and his family to get out of town.
Here’s what I do know. Ester had a sister Basse (known as Bessie in the United States) who was somewhere between 4-10 years younger than Ester (depending on what record you’re reading) and was married to Louis Berkowitz. Louis came to the United States somewhere around 1895-1896. Like many families, the man came first to scout out the area, find a job and a place to live. He ended up living on the Lower Easter Side of Manhattan and sent for his wife and five daughters who arrived in the fall of 1897. After life settled down, they sent word to Ester and her family that life was good and that the Siegels and their five children should join them. Abraham declared he had $600 with him on entering the United States. I would suspect he pretty much sold everything he had to bring that kind of money with him. When you look at the ship manifest he was on, a few had big money, but most had anywhere from 0 to $25 with them.

Bessie and Louis Berkowitz had five daughters so there is no surviving Berkowitz name to trace. All came over with Russian names that were quickly changed to more anglicized versions. Malke became Mollie, Leke became Lenah, Sore became Sarah, Selde became Celia and Mischke became Minnie.

Abraham and Ester Siegel’s oldest daughter Bessie, who went by Pesse in Russia, married Sam Weinstock and had three daughters, Ruth, Lea and Edith. Their second daughter Ella (or Elke) married Harry Repensky and had one son, Albert. Their third daughter, my grandmother Minne (or Mischke as she was born) married Harry Spiel and had two children; my uncle Albert Spiel and my mother, Edythe Spiel Elkort. Their fourth daughter Lillian (or Sure – probably pronounced Sura) married Harry Brodman and had three children. Ruth Brodman who married Lester Farina and they had three children. Irving Brodman who was fondly referred to as Blackie, married Helen Geier and had three children. And Edith Brodman who married Patrick Fiore and they had one son, Steve Fiore. Sadly, due to tragic circumstances, both Blackie and Edith died in their late 30s within one year of each other. The family was devastated. Abraham and Ester’s last child was, fortunately for the Siegel name, a son named Ralph or Rachmiel. He married Rose Gong and together they had three sons. While the surname spelling was Segal on their transportation record and in the Ukraine census (see below), in the US they adopted the spelling Siegel and stuck with it.
UPDATE: Recently I hired a researcher in Ukraine who found the Segals in the 1886 and then 1897 update of the Ostroh census. Both recordings were prior to the birth of Lillian and Ralph and there were two additional sisters listed; Sarah born 2 years after Ella and Zelda born a year later. Neither Sarah or Zelda came to the US with the Siegels in 1906 and at first I assumed they both had died before the family emigrated. But after some discussion with other researchers, these two daughters, though young, may have married and stayed behind. And perhaps one of them was the real object of the Cossack’s affection I mentioned earlier. I also questioned whether they would have let two younger daughters marry before the older daughters, but times were tough and they were not a wealthy family so convention may have been set aside in order to secure them a good future. And of course, this we may never know. The census did also note that the Segals came to Ostroh in 1886 and by 1887 left to move to Starokostantinov, another town about 2 hours north of Ostroh.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tampa Bay's bid to lure Bruce Arians out of retirement and back to the NFL included a pitch from baseball manager Joe Maddon.
The 66-year-old coach grew up in York, Pennsylvania, not far from Maddon's hometown of Hazelton. He and the Chicago Cubs skipper have grown close since Buccaneers general Jason Licht introduced them several years ago.
Maddon, 64, managed the Tampa Bay Rays for nine years before moving on to the Cubs in 2015. He lives in Florida during the offseason and owns a popular South Tampa restaurant where he and Arians dined last weekend.
"I had already convinced myself. But we're old friends," Arians said Thursday, when he formally was introduced as Tampa Bay's fifth new coach in a decade.
"It was more break bread, have fun. I didn't need any convincing."
Arians coached the Arizona Cardinals for five years, compiling a 49-30-1 record and making the playoffs twice before retiring after the 2017 season.
He cited health concerns and a desire to spend more time with family for walking away, but was unable to fill the void working in a broadcast booth the past year.
"There's something about growing up in the locker room, the bonds and relationships you build in building a football team," Arians said. "The ups the downs, and all the things that go in between, is probably what I love most about the game. I missed the arena."
The Bucs, who haven't made the playoffs since 2007, fired former coach Dirk Koetter on Dec. 30. Armed with a checklist of what the club wanted in a replacement, Licht interviewed Arians, as well as Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards and Dallas Cowboys defensive backs coach Kris Richard.
Licht knew Arians from the GM's days as vice president of player personnel in Arizona, but stressed he also was everything the Bucs were looking for — a coach with a commanding presence and proven track record for winning and developing players and assistant coaches, as well as someone who would bring some swagger to the team.
"He wants to put a (Super Bowl) ring on everyone's hand in this organization," Licht said.
"He has a fire and passion for this game that burns very deep inside," Bucs owner/co-chairman Bryan Glazer said, adding Arians is a "confident, proven leader and has a clear vision and plan for getting our franchise back to playing winning football."
And Arians, who inherits Jameis Winston as his starting quarterback, doesn't believe it'll take long to transform the Bucs into a championship contender.
"I think we have the core here to win quickly," Arians said. "I'm not about building, I'm about reloading."
When Arians was hired in Arizona, he took over a team that finished 5-11 the year before his arrival and went 10-6 in his first season in 2013.
"This one's much easier, I believe," he said. "When I walked into Arizona we had no quarterbacks."
However, the Cardinals quickly filled that void by trading for Carson Palmer.
Arians has known Winston since the 25-year-old quarterback was a high school player attending one of the coach's football camps in Birmingham, Alabama.
Winston is 21-33 as a starter over the past four seasons and only one quarterback — Jacksonville's Blake Bortles — has more turnovers than Winston's 75 since he entered the league as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft.
Winston is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Arians said there's no added on pressure on former Heisman Trophy winner to prove he's Tampa Bay's long-term solution at quarterback.
"No pressure. No pressure whatsoever. I want him to relax and play the game. Talent's no issue. It's just (playing) a little smarter," said Arians, who's hiring former Cardinals assistant Byron Leftwich as his offensive coordinator.
"With Clyde Christenson as his quarterback coach and Byron, he's going to be coached as well as he's ever been and more prepared than he's ever been fundamentally and mentally," Arians added. "It's his team. I'll tell our players in the first meeting. This isn't my team, it's your team. We'll be as good as you want to be."

As you can see from the Kaenon website http://www.kaenon.com/ they make both frame and wire glasses. The picture above is their Hard Kore model. Aaron lent me a pair to wear for a couple of days to see how they worked. It was great timing, I think that yesterday was one of the sunniest days we have had all winter, and of course my major interest was in something that would work well on the water so bright sun on new snow was not a bad substitute. The Hard Kore’s are light and very comfortable. The pair I am wearing has the copper tint as shown in the picture above. I really prefer the copper to the neutral or grey. It does a nice job of enhancing the contrast without really making the colors quite as weird as the yellow lenses. I have a habit of bending sunglasses; the Hard Kore’s look pretty sturdy. We will see how they work out and I will follow up with another post in a couple of days.
Like many older guys I need prescription glasses – in fact prescription bifocals. In my search on other eyewear web sites I find that even those that offer prescription lenses do so for a small segment of their product line – usually the products I don’t particularly like. So it was pretty cool to find out I could pick what I liked first, and then deal with the prescription part second rather than vice versa.
Inner Harbor can set you up with either regular or prescription Kaenon’s. If you need prescription lenses they will get you set up with the necessary eye care professional. Next time you are downtown go have a look.
It’s not going to be fun to have to give these back!

Alpina has introduced the revised version of its B7 xDrive sedan. The 2020 B7 is the sixth-generation full-size model from the company and the third generation of B7 to be available in the USA.
Fitted with the latest generation V8 engine and two twin-scroll turbochargers, the B7 will generate 600ps and 687Nm of torque. The 4.4-liter powerplant is also equipped with direct injection, BMW’s Valvetronic fully variable valve timing and Double-Vanos variable camshaft timing.
The exhaust side of the turbochargers features a 54mm diameter impeller, 4mm larger than the previous model. Additionally, the Alpina-specific intercoolers feature an interconnection to equalize and reduce pressure pulsations between the two cylinder banks of the engine.
This, together with new engine management software, means that the peak torque of 687Nm is now available from 2000rpm all the way up to 5,000rpm. This leads to improved throttle response and an effective performance gain in the lower rpm range. The new B7 now accelerates from 0-100km/h in 3.5 seconds and can reach a maximum speed of 329km/h.
All components of the cooling system are also designed to remove inefficiencies and maximize effectiveness – special high-volume coolers are interconnected by large diameter piping for maximum throughput. The intercoolers comprise an indirect air to water to air set-up to facilitate short air intake paths.
Combined with additional external water coolers and a transmission oil cooler, the system ensures the thermodynamic stability of the V8, even under high load and high ambient air temperatures.
The twin-turbo powertrain is paired to the latest generation 8-speed sport automatic transmission from ZF. The transmission software has been thoroughly reworked by Alpina and adapted specifically to the performance characteristics of the V8. The transmission is geared toward efficiency and comfort with close gear ratios and a total spread of 7.81:1.
Transmission components such as the torque converter with lock-up clutch and the planetary gear sets are reinforced and along with the inner transmission cooling are designed to cope with high torque output. This means that no torque reduction is necessary during upshifts.

Roshanak Taghavi reports on today’s action in the energy markets: Crude-oil futures rose above $74 a barrel Friday on heightened concerns that a new tropical storm could be developing in the Atlantic Ocean and an upsurge in U.S. equities. The front-month October light, sweet crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange was up 86 cents, or 1.2%, at $74.22 a barrel. October Brent crude on the ICE futures exchange was up 93 cents at $72.83 a barrel. Traders were paying extra attention Friday to four low pressure systems that have developed in the Atlantic basin, which could develop into a strong storm or hurricane. Atlantic hurricanes have the potential to enter the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and wreak havoc with energy installations there. Crude oil and gasoline futures have been extremely volatile since Wednesday, when the U.S. Department of Energy reported gasoline inventories fell by a larger-than-expected 3.6 million barrels in the week ended Aug. 24. U.S. gasoline stocks now cover just 20 days of demand, the lowest level on record, according to the DOE’s Energy Information Administration. Expectations that gasoline supplies will tighten even more during the U.S. Labor Day holiday, when many Americans hit the road to attend celebrations and take vacations, has also added to traders’ concerns. “We are maintaining a view that any strength in the crude oil or heating oil going forward will be driven almost entirely by a tight gasoline market,” said Jim Ritterbusch of Ritterbusch and Associates in Galena, Ill. in a research note. “We are still not ruling out a strong expiration today as the combination of near record low gasoline supply cover and a thin holiday trade could provide a recipe for a volatile session as today’s trade proceeds.” Nymex September reformulated-gasoline blendstock was up 1.03 cents, or 0.5%, at $2.0904 a gallon. September heating oil was up 2.46 cents, or 1.2%, at $2.0530 a gallon.

A miracle, in the popular sense, is a prodigy, or an extraordinary event, which surprises us by its novelty. In a more accurate and philosophic sense, a miracle is an effect which does not follow from any of the regular laws of nature, or which is inconsistent with some known law of it, or contrary to the settled constitution and course of things. Accordingly, all miracles presuppose an established system of nature, within the limits of which they operate, and with the order of which they disagree. Of a miracle in the theological sense many definitions have been given. That of Dr. Samuel Clarke is: "A miracle is a work effected in a manner unusual, or different from the common and regular method of providence, by the interposition of God himself, or of some intelligent agent superior to man, for the proof or evidence of some particular doctrine, or in attestation of the authority of some particular person." Mr. Hume has insidiously or erroneously maintained that a miracle is contrary to experience; but in reality it is only different from experience. Experience informs us that one event has happened often; testimony informs us that another event has happened once or more. That diseases should be generally cured by the application of external causes, and sometimes at the mere word of a prophet, and without the visible application of causes, are facts not inconsistent with each other in the nature of things themselves, nor irreconcilable according to our ideas. Each fact may arise from its own proper cause; each may exist independently of the other; and each is known by its own proper proof, whether of sense or testimony. As secret causes often produce events contrary to those we do expect from experience, it is equally conceivable that events should sometimes be produced which we do not expect. To pronounce, therefore, a miracle to be false, because it is different from experience, is only to conclude against its general existence from the very circumstance which constitutes its particular nature; for if it were not different from experience, where would be its singularity? or what particular proof could be drawn from it, if it happened according to the ordinary train of human events, or was included in the operation of the general laws of nature? We grant that it does differ from experience; but we do not presume to make our experience the standard of the divine conduct. He that acknowledges a God must, at least, admit the possibility of a miracle. The atheist, that makes him inseparable from what is called nature, and binds him to its laws by an insurmountable necessity; that deprives him of will, and wisdom, and power, as a distinct and independent Being; may deny even the very possibility of a miraculous interposition, which can in any instance suspend or counteract those general laws by which the world is governed. But he who allows of a First Cause in itself perfect and intelligent, abstractedly from those effects which his wisdom and power have produced, must at the same time allow that this cause can be under no such restraints as to be debarred the liberty of controlling its laws as often as it sees fit. Surely, the Being that made the world can govern it, or any part of it, in such a manner as he pleases; and he that constituted the very laws by which it is in general conducted, may suspend the operation of those laws in any given instance, or impress new powers on matter, in order to produce new and extraordinary effects.
In judging of miracles there are certain criteria, peculiar to the subject, sufficient to conduct our inquiries, and warrant our determination. Assuredly they do not appeal to our ignorance, for they presuppose not only the existence of a general order of things, but our actual knowledge of the appearance which that order exhibits, and of the secondary material causes from which it, in most cases, proceeds. If a miraculous event were effected by the immediate hand of God, and yet bore no mark of distinction from the ordinary effects of his agency, it would impress no conviction, and probably awaken no attention. Our knowledge of the ordinary course of things, though limited, is real; and therefore it is essential to a miracle, both that it differ from that course, and be accompanied with peculiar and unequivocal signs of such difference. We have been told that the course of nature is fixed and unalterable, and therefore it is not consistent with the immutability of God to perform miracles. But, surely, they who reason in this manner beg the point in question. We have no right to assume that the Deity has ordained such general laws as will exclude his interposition; and we cannot suppose that he would forbear to interfere where any important end could be answered. This interposition, though it controls, in particular cases, the energy, does not diminish the utility, of those laws. It leaves them to fulfil their own proper purposes, and affects only a distinct purpose, for which they were not calculated. If the course of nature implies the general laws of matter and motion, into which the most opposite phenomena may be resolved, it is certain that we do not yet know them in their full extent; and, therefore, that events, which are related by judicious and disinterested persons, and at the same time imply no gross contradiction, are possible in themselves, and capable of a certain degree of proof. If the course of nature implies the whole order of events which God has ordained for the government of the world, it includes both his ordinary and extraordinary dispensations, and among them miracles may have their place, as a part of the universal plan. It is, indeed, consistent with sound philosophy, and not inconsistent with pure religion, to acknowledge that they might be disposed by the supreme Being at the same time with the more ordinary effects of his power; that their causes and occasions might be arranged with the same regularity; and that, in reference chiefly to their concomitant circumstances of persons and times, to the specific ends for which they were employed, and to our idea of the immediate necessity there is for a divine agent, miracles would differ from common events, in which the hand of God acts as efficaciously, though less visibly. On this consideration of the subject, miracles, instead of contradicting nature, might form a part of it. But what our limited reason and scanty experience may comprehend should never be represented as a full and exact view of the possible or actual varieties which exist in the works of God.
2. If we be asked whether miracles are credible, we reply, that, abstractedly considered, they are not incredible; that they are capable of indirect proof from analogy, and of direct, from testimony; that in the common and daily course of worldly affairs, events, the improbability of which, antecedently to all testimony, was very great, are proved to have happened, by the authority of competent and honest witnesses; that the Christian miracles were objects of real and proper experience to those who saw them; and that whatsoever the senses of mankind can perceive, their report may substantiate. Should it be asked whether miracles were necessary, and whether the end proposed to be effected by them could warrant so immediate and extraordinary an interference of the Almighty, as such extraordinary operations suppose; to this we might answer, that, if the fact be established, all reasonings a priori concerning their necessity must be frivolous, and may be false. We are not capable of deciding on a question which, however simple in appearance, is yet too complex in its parts, and too extensive in its object, to be fully comprehended by the human understanding. Whether God could or could not have effected all the ends designed to be promoted by the Gospel, without deviating from the common course of his providence, and interfering with its general laws, is a speculation that a modest inquirer would carefully avoid; for it carries on the very face of it a degree of presumption totally unbecoming the state of a mortal being. Infinitely safer is it for us to acquiesce in what the Almighty has done, than to embarrass our minds with speculations about what he might have done. Inquiries of this kind are generally inconclusive, and always useless. They rest on no solid principles, are conducted by no fixed rules, and lead to no clear conviction. They begin from curiosity or vanity, they are prosecuted amidst ignorance and error, and they frequently terminate in impious presumption or universal skepticism. God is the best and indeed the only judge how far miracles are proper to promote any particular design of his providence, and how far that design would have been left unaccomplished, if common and ordinary methods only had been pursued. So, from the absence of miracles, we may conclude, in any supposed case, that they were not necessary; from their existence, supported by fair testimony, in any given case, we may refer with confidence that they are proper. A view of the state of the world in general, and of the Jewish nation in particular, and an examination of the nature and tendency of the Christian religion, will point out very clearly the great expediency of a miraculous interposition; and when we reflect on the gracious and important ends that were to be effected by it, we shall be convinced that it was not an idle and useless display of divine power; but that while the means effected and confirmed the end, the end fully justified and illustrated the means. If we reflect on the almost irresistible force of prejudice, and the strong opposition it universally made to the establishment of a new religion on the demolition of rites and ceremonies, which authority had made sacred, and custom had familiarized; if we reflect on the extent and importance, as well as the singularity, of the Christian plan; what was its avowed purpose to effect, and what difficulties it was necessarily called to struggle with before that purpose could be effected; how much it was opposed by the opinions and the practice of the generality of mankind, by philosophy, by superstition, by corrupt passions and inveterate habits, by pride and sensuality, in short, by every engine of human influence, whether formed by craft, or aided by power;—if we seriously reflect on these things, and give them their due force, (and experience shows us that we can scarcely give them too much,) we shall be induced to admit even the necessity of a miraculous interposition, at a time when common means must inevitably, in our apprehensions, have failed of success.
The revelation of the divine will by inspired persons is, as such, miraculous; and therefore, before the adversaries of the Gospel can employ with propriety their objections to the particular miracles on which its credibility is based, they should show the impossibility of any revelation. In whatever age the revelation is given, succeeding ages can know it only from testimony; and, if they admit, on the report of their fellow creatures, that God had inspired any being with the preternatural knowledge of his will, why should they deny that he had enabled the same being to heal the sick, or to cleanse the leprous? How, may it be asked, should the divine Teacher give a more direct and consistent proof of his preternatural commission, than by displaying those signs and wonders which mark the finger of God? That the Apostles could not be deceived, and that they had no temptation to deceive, has been repeatedly demonstrated. So powerful, indeed, is the proof adduced in support of their testimony, that the infidels of these later days have been obliged to abandon the ground on which their predecessors stood; to disclaim all moral evidences arising from the character and relation of eye-witnesses; and to maintain, upon metaphysical, rather than historical, principles, that miracles are utterly incapable, in their own nature, of existing in any circumstances, or of being supported by any evidence.
Miracles may be classed under two heads: those which consist in a train or combination of events, which distinguish themselves from the ordinary arrangements of Providence; and those particular operations which are performed by instruments and agents incompetent to effect them without a preternatural power. In the conduct of Providence respecting the Jewish people, from the earliest periods of their existence, as a distinct class of society, to the present time, we behold a singularity of circumstance and procedure which we cannot account for on common principles. Comparing their condition and situation with that of other nations, we can meet with nothing similar to it in the history of mankind. So remarkable a difference, conspicuous in every revolution of their history, could not have subsisted through mere accident. There must have been a cause adequate to so extraordinary an effect. Now, what should this cause be, but an interposition of Providence in a manner different from the course of its general government? For the phenomenon cannot be explained by an application of those general causes and effects that operate in other cases. The original propagation of Christianity was likewise an event which clearly discovered a miraculous interposition. The circumstances which attended it were such as cannot rationally be accounted for on any other postulatum. ( See CHRISTIANITY. ) It may now be observed, that the institutions of the law and the Gospel may not only appeal for their confirmation to a train of events which, taken in a general and combined view, point out an extraordinary designation, and vindicate their claim to a divine authority; but also to a number of particular operations which, considered distinctly, or in a separate and detached light, evidently display a supernatural power, immediately exerted on the occasion.
Since Christ himself constantly appealed to these works as the evidences of his divine mission and character, we may briefly examine how far they justified and confirmed his pretensions. That our Lord laid the greatest stress on the evidence they afforded, nay, that he considered that evidence as sufficient to authenticate his claims to the office of the Messiah with all reasonable and well disposed inquirers, is manifest not only from his own words, John 10:25 , but also from a great variety of other passages in the evangelists. Thus, when the disciples of John were sent to Christ, to receive from his own lips the most satisfactory proofs of his divine mission, he referred them to his miracles. "Go," said he, "and show to John again those things which ye hear and see: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up,"
First: That they are visible proofs of divine approbation, as well as of divine power; for it would have been quite inconclusive to rest an appeal on the testimony of the latter, if it had not at the same time included an evidence of the former; and it was, indeed, a natural inference, that working of miracles, in defence of a particular cause, was the seal of Heaven to the truth of that cause. To suppose the contrary, would be to suppose that God not only permitted his creatures to be deceived, but that he deviated from the ordinary course of his providence, purposely with a view to deceive them. The conclusion which the man whom our Saviour restored to sight drew from this miracle was exceedingly just, and founded on the common sentiments and impressions of the human heart. "We know," says he, "that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing," John 9:31-33 . If the cause which our Saviour was engaged in had not been approved of by God, it would not have been honoured with the seal of miracles: for the divine power can never be supposed to counteract the divine will. This would be to set his nature at variance with itself; and, by destroying his simplicity, would destroy his happiness, and terminate in confusion and misery. Hence we may justly reject, as incredible, those miracles which have been ascribed to the interposition of wicked spirits. The possibility of their interference is a mere hypothesis, depending upon gratuitous assumption, and leading to very dangerous consequences; and the particular instances in which credulous superstition, or perverted philosophy, has supposed them to interfere, are, as facts, destitute of any clear and solid evidence; or, as effects, often resolvable into natural causes.
Secondly: When our Lord appealed to his miracles, as proofs of his divine mission, it presupposed that those miracles were of such a nature as would bear the strictest examination; that they had all those criteria which could possibly distinguish them from the delusions of enthusiasm, and the artifices of imposture; else the appeal would have been fallacious and equivocal. He appealed to them with all the confidence of an upright mind totally possessed with a consciousness of their truth and reality. This appeal was not drawn out into any laboured argument, nor adorned by any of the embellishments of language. It was short, simple, and decisive. He neither reasoned nor declaimed on their nature or their design: he barely pointed to them as plain and indubitable facts, such as spoke their own meaning, and carried with them their own authority. The miracles which our Lord performed were too public to be suspected of imposture; and, being objects of sense, they were secured against the charge of enthusiasm. An impostor would not have acted so absurdly as to have risked his credit on the performance of what, he must have known, it was not in his power to effect; and though an enthusiast, from the warmth of imagination, might have flattered himself with a full persuasion of his being able to perform some miraculous work; yet, when the trial was referred to an object of sense, the event must soon have exposed the delusion. The impostor would not have dared to say to the blind, Receive thy sight; to the deaf, Hear; to the dumb, Speak; to the dead, Arise; to the raging of the sea, Be still; lest he should injure the credit of his cause, by undertaking more than he could perform; and though the enthusiast, under the delusion of his passions, might have confidently commanded disease to fly, and the powers of nature to be subject to his control; yet their obedience would not have followed his command.
The miracles of Christ then were such as an impostor would not have attempted, and such as an enthusiast could not have effected. They had no disguise; and were in a variety of instances of such a nature as to preclude the very possibility of collusion. They were performed in the midst of his bitterest enemies; and were so palpable and certain, as to extort the following acknowledgment even from persons who were most eager to oppose his doctrines, and to discredit his pretensions: "This man doeth many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him,"
John 11:47-48 . The miracles Christ performed were indeed sufficient to alarm the fears of those whose downfall was involved in his success.
And it was impossible for them to deny the facts, which so many thousands were ready to attest on evidence too certain to admit even the possibility of mistake, delusion, or imposture. But his enemies, who admitted their reality and yet resisted their design, by not acknowledging the person who wrought them to be the Messiah, had recourse to the most impious and most absurd suppositions, in order to evade their evidence. The Heathen imputed them to some occult power of magic: and thus applied what has no existence in nature, in order to account for a phenomenon that existed out of its common course. The stories of the Jews, who confessed the miracles, but denied what they were intended to establish, are too ridiculous to be mentioned. We must not, however, omit to take notice of the wicked and blasphemous cavil of the Pharisees, and the noble reply which our Lord made to it. They could not deny the fact, but they imputed it to the agency of an infernal spirit: "This fellow," said they, "doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: and if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?" Matthew 12:24-26 . The purity of the doctrine which was taught by our blessed Lord was totally adverse to the kingdom of darkness. It tended to overthrow it, by the introduction of principles far different from those which Satan would inspire, and by prosecuting objects totally opposite to those which that wicked and malignant spirit would tempt us to pursue: so that in proportion to the prevalence of the kingdom of Christ, the kingdom of Satan would of course be diminished. Now, supposing miracles to be in the power of an infernal spirit, can it be imagined that he would communicate an ability of performing them to persons who were counteracting his designs? Would he by them give credit to a cause that tended to bring his own into disgrace? Thus, as our Saviour appealed to miracles as proofs of his power; so he appealed to the inherent worth and purity of the doctrines they were intended to bear witness to, as a proof that the power was of God. In this manner do the external and internal evidences give and receive mutual confirmation and mutual lustre.
The truth of the Christian religion does not, however, depend wholly on the miracles wrought by its divine Founder, though sufficient in themselves to establish his claims: but, in order to give the evidence of miracles the strongest force they could possibly acquire, that evidence was extended still farther; and the same power that our Lord possessed was communicated to his disciples, and their more immediate successors. While yet on earth he imparted to them this extraordinary gift, as the seal of their commission, when he sent them to preach the Gospel: and after his glorious resurrection and ascension into heaven, they were endowed with powers yet more stupendous. Sensible of the validity of this kind of evidence, the Apostles of our Lord, with the same artless simplicity, and the same boldness of conscious integrity, which distinguished their great Master, constantly insisted upon the miracles they wrought, as strong and undeniable proofs of the truth of their doctrines. Thus the miracles of our blessed Lord may be justly considered as the evidence of his divine mission and character. If we consider their nature, their greatness, and their number; and if to this consideration we add that which respects their end and design, we must acknowledge that no one could have performed them, unless God was with him. They were too public to be the artifices of imposture; too substantial and too numerous to afford the slightest suspicion of undesigned and fortuitous coincidence. In a word, supposing that the Most High should in any instance so far counteract the common laws of nature, as to produce a miracle; and should design that miracle as a monument to future times of the truth of any peculiar doctrine, we cannot conceive any mode of communicating it more effectual than that which he has chosen. Stronger proofs could not be afforded, consistently with the design of the Gospel, which is not to overpower our understandings by an irresistible and compulsory light, but to afford us such rational evidence as is sufficient to satisfy moral inquirers, who are endowed with faculties to perceive the truth; but at the same time who also have power totally to resist it, and finally to forfeit all its blessings. These miracles were of a nature too palpable to be mistaken. They were the objects of sense, and not the precarious speculations of reason concerning what God might do; or the chimerical suggestions of fancy concerning what he did. The facts were recorded by those who must have known whether they were true or false. The persons who recorded them were under no possible temptations to deceive the world. We can only account for their conduct on the supposition of their most perfect conviction and disinterested zeal. That they should assert what they knew to be false; that they should publish it with so much ardour; that they should risk every thing dear to humanity, in order to maintain it; and at last submit to death, in order to attest their persuasion of its truth in those moments when imposture usually drops its mask, and enthusiasm loses its confidence; that they should act thus in opposition to every dictate of common sense, and every principle of common honesty, every restraint of shame, and every impulse of selfishness, is a phenomenon not less irreconcilable to the moral state of things than miracles are to the natural constitution of the world. Falsehood naturally entangles men in contradiction, and confounds them with dismay: but the love of truth invigorates the mind; the consciousness of integrity anticipates the approbation of God; and conscience creates a fortitude, to which mere unsupported nature is often a stranger.
3. How long miracles were continued in the church, has been a matter of keen dispute, and has been investigated with as much anxiety as if the truth of the Gospel depended upon the manner in which it was decided. Assuming, as we are here warranted to do, that real miraculous power was conveyed in the way detailed by the inspired writers, it is plain, that it may have been exercised in different countries, and may have remained, without any new communication of it, throughout the first, and a considerable part of the second century. The Apostles, wherever they went to execute their commission, would avail themselves of the stupendous gift which had been imparted to them; and it is clear, not only that they were permitted and enabled to convey it to others, but that spiritual gifts, including the power of working miracles, were actually conferred on many of the primitive disciples. Allusions to this we find in the epistles of St. Paul; such allusions, too, as it is utterly inconceivable that any man of a sound judgment could have made, had he not known that he was referring to an obvious fact, about which there could be no hesitation. Of the time at which several of the Apostles died, we have no certain knowledge. St. Peter and St. Paul suffered at Rome about A.D. 66, or 67; and it is fully established, that the life of John was much longer protracted, he having died a natural death, A.D. 100, or 101. Supposing that the two former of these Apostles imparted spiritual gifts till the time of their suffering martyrdom, the persons to whom they were imparted might, in the course of nature, have lived through the earlier part of the second century; and if John did the same till the end of his life, such gifts as were derived from him might have remained till more than the half of that century had elapsed. That such was the fact, is asserted by ancient ecclesiastical writers. Whether, after the generation immediately succeeding the Apostles had passed away, the power of working miracles was anew communicated, is a question, the solution of which cannot be nearly so satisfactory. The probability is, that there was no such renewal; and this opinion rests upon the ground that natural causes were now sufficient to accomplish the end for which miracles were originally designed; and it does not appear to have been any part of the scheme of the blessed Author of our religion, that, solely for the purpose of hastening that conversion of the nations which might gradually be accomplished, miracles should be wrought, when these could be of no use in establishing after ages in the faith.

The information was supplied by a tweet made by veteran gaming journalist Geoff Keighley.
According to a tweet from Geoff Keighley, West has apparently been at Epic Games for around a month already, which could mean the ex-Infinity Ward and Respawn Entertainment co-founder may already be working on something new. The first is that West has not worked in the games industry for around six years.
West's new position at Epic comes just as quietly. West officially left Respawn back in 2013 due to family issues, and he hasn't had a visible presence in the game industry since.
Jason West was formerly co-founder of Respawn Entertainment, the company behind Titanfall and Apex Legends. It was not clear whaat Jason West was set to do after leaving Respawn. While Epic has yet to announce West has joined the company, if Keighley said it's true, it must be true. The series introduced a unique mechanic where players could summon giant mechs, while at the same time improving on the traversal mechanics they first developed in the more modern Call of Duty games. Earlier he was the co-founder and president of most famous Call of Duty studio Infinity Ward. However, West also has experience in making massively popular games and that could give Epic Games an advantage.

Are there new rules and regulations affecting the mortgage industry? How will mortgage industry trends affect your organization? We report and analyze federal rules and regulations, industry trends and data to help you determine if and how you are affected.
Mortgage servicers are routinely challenged by making timely escrow tax payments. Consistency is key. If you know property taxes in a state or region are always due at the same time, forecasting workload volume and staffing needs can be more easily predicted. However, some taxing jurisdictions tinker with collection schedules or offer alternate tax pay installment options that force servicers to stay on their toes.
Wisconsin state legislation outlines unique property tax payment options for each mortgage borrower. Property tax statements are typically mailed mid-December, this among other factors can be challenging for mortgage lenders looking to make year-end tax payment disbursements. For the Wisconsin mortgage lender, awareness of these tax collection nuances and a basic understanding of the Wisconsin property tax playbook is an essential first step towards a winning tax season.
Property tax management is vital to keeping your real property portfolio safe and healthy. Not knowing bill amounts or the delinquency status of properties carries serious ramifications. In this comprehensive report, LERETA has analyzed and highlighted current trends in property tax bill amounts and delinquencies across 53 counties in California. By downloading this report, you will gain insight into potential risks your portfolio may be facing.

One of the most special parts about the addiction recovery process is finding kindred spirits along the way. We tend to feel very alone when we’re struggling with addictions, and we can feel just as alone when we’re working towards recovery. Many of us isolate ourselves, especially if we’re depressed or struggling with other mental health issues. When we open ourselves to forming friendships and connections with people, we can be surprised at the deep bonds we’re able to experience and benefit from.
Our kindred spirits are the people with whom we feel a strong personal connection, who we feel serve a unique purpose in our lives. Very often our kindred spirits are here to help us, and we are meant to help them. They might be recovering addicts themselves or they might be people who genuinely want to help us along our way. They might be people we already know and trust. When we recognize a kindred spirit in someone else, it can feel as though we’ve known them a long time. We can feel as though we’re already connected. This can be a deep and powerful bond we share.
Developing kindred spirit relationships can be challenging but also quite rewarding. They push us to look at ourselves honestly and with courage. They encourage us to be our best selves, and to seek out the best life we possibly can. This isn’t always easy, especially when we’re just starting out in recovery. We can feel like we’re being pushed too hard. We may get defensive or scared. A true kindred spirit relationship always has our best interest at heart. The more we trust it and open ourselves to it, the more we can learn about ourselves, about our healing process, about having healthy relationships and about living a happy, peaceful life.
We find our kindred spirits everywhere – in treatment, in support groups, while volunteering. When we are both in recovery, we can find that our relationship helps us to uplift and encourage each other. Our friendship is based on mutual support and care. Many of the mistakes we made in past relationships, especially when we were struggling with our addictions, provide the basis for learning how to have a healthy friendship. With our kindred spirits, we get to put into practice everything we’ve learned along the recovery journey – how to be a good friend to others, how to support our loved ones, and how to allow ourselves to receive the love that others are offering us.
We provide a community of support and understanding. Call 888-570-7154 for information on our treatment programs.

“Nature is constantly striving to reach balance and equilibrium. Corrosion is the natural deterioration of materials by chemical and physical interaction with the external environment. Man creates, and nature destroys; this is the essence of corrosion.” — Greg Reyneke. Water Conditioning and Purification Magazine, April 2010.
Tastes and Odors. Corrosion by iron, copper, and brass make bitter or metallic taste and sometimes odors.
Chlorine and Chloramine. These common disinfectants lead to the breakdown of both metals and rubber materials. Chloride. Chlorides are the enemy of stainless steel.
Treatments for corrosion, obviously, are many, since the causes are many. Some common treatments are increasing pH, reducing chlorides (reverse osmosis), reducing chloramines and chlorine (carbon filtration), turning down the hot water heater, filtering out excessive sediment, or decreasing the demand for flow through the piping.

The only thing I love more than watching really talented people win really prestigious awards at the Grammys is watching the performers do their thing on stage at the Grammys. Yes, the red carpet is always enjoyable, the host almost always makes me laugh, and the anticipation of which nominee will win is clearly fun and everything, but the performances are where it's at. And this year's stellar lineup has got me amped, you guys. Hello, Lady Gaga, P!nk, and Childish Gambino. But there's one performance in particular that's getting a lot of attention: The "Despacito" Grammys performance, which didn't include Justin Bieber, has the world voicing a lot of feelings about it.
Look, Bieber aside, Luis Fonsi absolutely crushed it: Perfoming completely in Spanish, as the original song was, Fonsi danced around the stage, and looked mighty fine doing it, I might add. Also, watching those backup dancers on stage makes me wonder how some human bodies actually move so gorgeously. Like, how does your torso roll that way? How do your shoulders pop like that? Who's teaching you, and can they teach me?
But seriously, as great of a performance as it was, Twitter was pretty torn, because HELLO? NO JUSTIN BIEBER.
"Despacito" was arguably one the biggest songs of the year. It's the kind of song that makes you desperately want to be the red-dressed salsa dancer emoji and go buy yourself a pair of festive maracas (Amazon, for anyone who's still considering). And guess what? Fonsi's performance at the 2018 Grammy Awards did NOT disappoint (minus the whole no-Biebs thing).
In case you didn't know, "Despacito" was nominated for three different awards — Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Those are the kinds of nominations that make you just want to get up and bust a move while balancing on some jetty rocks near the ocean, amirite?
Not too shabby, if you ask me.
Does it feel warm in here? It feels warm in here.
It’s exciting! It wasn’t planned this way. I was born in Puerto Rico but was raised in Orlando and now [live] in Miami. So I’ve had success in the U.S., but toward a Latin audience. Now it’s a new door that opens. It’s refreshing.
Smart move, Justin. Very smart move.
Considering Luis Fonsi's intense performance at the Grammys this year, I think we can all agree that he is on feugo and can expect to hear more music from him.
Seeing more dance moves couldn't hurt, either.

As a pure styling exercise this car is beyond reproach, especially when one considers how advanced the design was for its day. In 1951 Raymond Loewy's studio submitted the design to Studebaker chief Harold Vance, and for 1953 and '54 the Champion and Commander series each had a Starliner coupe, the latter having been so realistically modeled below. Early production problems and Studebaker's shaky financial position caused this car to stumble going out of the gate, and by the time they had it all ironed out the public had lost interest. As a result, you rarely see one of these beauties anymore.
It's an all-new tool, and a commendable choice of subject. Though it's kissing cousins with the Hawk, don't be fooled. The new tool adds invisible door hinges, photo-etch scripts and separately cast emblems, and the myriad working features described below. Materials are first-rate, finish is excellent, and the gaps and fit are good. Before I even saw it I was disinclined to like the red and white color combination, but the Bombay red (a tomato-ey looking shade offered as a Spring color), and the almost beige Salem white, make a very fitting and attractive presentation on this model.
Then as now, a V8 was a big deal, and this car was not shy about showing off its credentials. Emblazoned on the front and rear of the car and on each side, is a V8 symbol impossible to miss on those smooth, clean flanks. DM has done these beautifully as separately cast pieces plated in chrome and gold, and P-E (photo etch) for the "8" on each side. Other than that, the car wears very little chrome for its vintage. It was also a lot lower and sleeker than most of its contemporaries. I love the way the accent line runs as smoothly and casually as a brushstroke, from just behind the headlight bezel until it curves downward at the back end of the door in a boomerang-shaped curve, echoing the slope of the roof and rear quarter window ever so subtly. As with other new tools there's no working suspension on this model. That's fine with me so long as they get the stance right, and to me it looks dead-on.
Look at that silhouette—it could have been penned by Ghia or Pininfarina. The more I thought about it, the more I had to have this in my collection. It was truly a landmark design.
Here's a nice detail view of the roof, showing the tiny Studebaker script in gold covering the separation between paint colors, just like the 1:1 and truly remarkable for 1:24. ...and yes, it's definitely been clear-coated. Below there's the cast chrome "V" and P-E numeral 8, the inside and outside door locks and handle. Just look at the detail in all those complex chrome window and door moldings—fantastic.
The interior is up to DM's usual high standards, which is to say it is excellent. Realistic carpeting and floor mats, pedals, levers, buttons, gauges, you name it—it's all there. Door panels are nicely finished, and benefit from hidden hinges. Instrumentation and radio dial look readable, but you'd need a magnifying glass. The 60/40 folding bench seats look great, and quite realistic in solid red pleats. For some reason, in these magnified images they might look a little plastic-y, but take my word for it in person they're really well done.
Both front seat backs tilt forward, and little details abound, like the chrome rear ashtray, the simulated black rubber gaskets in the door jambs and where the door glass meets the roof, and in the vent windows. Seemingly no detail has been overlooked.
In this view the separately molded wiper arms and fixed, half-height antenna look great. My setup doesn't allow for outdoor shots, but I tried using a room with a western exposure, in the afternoon when it's sunny, to take some photos with natural light like the one above. Suddenly, long shadows appeared more crisp and delineated against the background, and on the car's interior. The sun's intensity created reflections off the wheel covers, bumpers, and other lower body areas. The paint color came out a bit more vivid, though in truth the light-tent (not sunlit) shots were a bit underexposed. It's a less controlled environment, but I think the natural light does have some advantages, like slightly enhanced realism.
I'm no motor-head, but I know when something looks real, and looking under the hood of this model you won't be disappointed. The range of materials and textures is terrific, with cables, wires, hoses, labels, and clamps all picked out in beautiful detail. A working prop-rod and realistic scissor-type hinges complete the effect.
Inset in the grill are two tiny, clear parking lights, faithfully executed in scale, but what's truly remarkable is the raised script lettering on top of the horizontal grill bars. Facing the car, the left side spells out "Studebaker" and the right spells out "Commander." This detail is so fine that it's difficult to see without magnification. Nice work, DM.
The rear three-quarter views are particularly flattering to this car. I'd never guess it was a small model from this photo.
With the aid of magnification we can see the detail achieved with the trunk latch, the Studebaker emblem, and even the tiny license plate lights on the inside edges of the integrated center bumper guards. Even the bolts securing the bumper have been replicated.
Danbury does its typical fine work under the boot lid as well, with an accurately patterned liner, spare tire, lug wrench, and jack; and check out the tiny inside latch. The spare has a trick up its sleeve too, as you discover that it is held in place by a magnet under the trunk floor, allowing it to be removable yet still stay put when in the trunk. Very clever. Here we also get a good look at the opening gas filler door. The tolerances are so tight on this one I had trouble opening it, but I don't really care about that so much as I do about realism, and the separately cast parts do make a difference. Likewise, the air vents on the front fenders just ahead of the doors open and close with watch-like precision.
I almost passed on this model, partly because I hadn't taken a good, close look at its design and overall style, and partly because I thought the red and white paint scheme would be too ordinary. I have to admit, though, that I've gotten attached to it rather quickly, mainly because of the car's clean lines and ahead-of-its-time styling. The Tomato and Beige kind of grows on you too, and it really does look right on this car. Danbury got the shape and stance right, and attended to all the details to make this one correct. I believe it's a must-have for collectors of the classics. Thanks Moe, you've done it again.

My name is Efrat Davidsohn, I have been designing jewelry for over 15 years and I run a small vintage style boutique shop in the Soho of Tel Aviv. I also run a virtual bridal shop on Etsy called “MyLitttleBride”.
I make Bridal jewelry, accessories, design and sew my own bridal dresses and sell alternative Bridal dresses.
My studio is in a tiny room inside my shop and there I have all my ideas and stuff to make the jewelry, including all the materials: All kinds of metals, freshwater pearls, antique pearls, Goldfield metals and silver sterling chains, fabrics, antique metal pieces that I found at the flea markets like: silk ribbons, pearls, and more pearls and with that I am accompanied by good music.
I listen to Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday and many more and they also have an influence in my designs. They really get my muse growing!
I especially love working with my hands, creating new jewelry and applying all kind of different materials with different colors.
I never know what is going to happen next, while sitting down to make them, or how it’s going to end up.

This recipe is the vegan version of the famous mac and cheese. Unlike the original recipe, this version has less calories and contains almost no fat.
Cook the macaroni following the indications of the container until they are in their point. We drain and reserve.
Cook the potatoes and carrots until they are soft, peel them, cut into pieces and introduce the glass of the blender.
Add to the blender the brewer's yeast, salt, paprika, turmeric and a splash of vegetable broth. We crush the ingredients and add more broth little by little until there is a smooth and homogeneous mixture. It should not be too liquid or too thick.
Melt the margarine in a pot and pour our cheese sauce inside. When it is hot, add the tapioca starch diluted in a small amount of cold vegetable broth or cold water. Stir well until the sauce boils. Lower the heat and continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens a little.
Place the macaroni on a baking tray and pour the cheese sauce on top, distributing it well throughout the tray. Spread the grated vegan cheese on top.
Bake the macaroni and cheese in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.

Students frustrated by the skyrocketing costs of going to college staged noisy demonstrations up and down the state Monday and said they were just warming up for protests against the governor's proposed $1 billion cut to higher education.
"The state budget doesn't pass until June, so we have plenty of time to keep pressing," said Jennifer Knox of the UC Students Association, one of several student groups that organized the half-dozen banner-waving, slogan-chanting protests from the state Capitol to San Diego to Humboldt County.
"We need to make our legislators really understand the absolute affordability crisis facing students," Knox said. "Today was a big day. But we are far from done."
She and the nearly 2,000 others who participated in the statewide "Day of Action" said they are afraid the proposed cuts would cripple California's three-tiered college system financially and educationally.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposal would shrink higher education's $11 billion share of the state budget to about $10 billion and would require the UC, the California State University and the California Community College systems to dramatically reduce spending and increase student fees. Schwarzenegger has called for a 10 percent across-the-board reduction in all state spending to balance a budget next year that analysts say faces a shortfall of at least $14 billion.
Leaders of Monday's demonstrations plan to resume their protests on May 14 when the UC Board of Regents meets in Los Angeles and will consider raising tuition. The also plan to return to the Capitol in Sacramento on May 19 to conduct a "study-in" protest.
"I need my education because without it, I have no future," 17-year-old Flintisha Wilson said during the rally on the Capitol steps, which was the main event. A freshman at Cal State Los Angeles, Wilson said neither of her parents went to college, and they can't afford to pay her school costs by themselves.
"With these budget cuts and tuition increases, it might break me," she said. "I am working two jobs and am still without a lot of things I need. I think it is very important to let them know we care ... we just want to be able to go to school."
Fees have nearly doubled in the CSU and UC systems since the 2002-03 school year, and both systems are considering as-yet-unspecified increases for next year. This year, the 23-campus California State University system raised its tuition to $2,772, which, when coupled with other fees, pushes the total cost to $3,521 annually. The 10-campus University of California system increased undergraduate tuition this year to $6,571, and other fees raise the total to $7,494 annually.
The figures do not include expenses such as room, meals and books. Community college fees jumped from $11 a unit to $26 at one point before dropping back to $20 a unit in 2007.
Schwarzenegger's planned cuts, announced in January, prompted students from the three college systems to band together to stage grassroots protests.
About 1,500 students came from around the state to attend the march and rally in Sacramento, which was attended by Lt. Gov. John Garamendi and several other politicians. Simultaneous protests were conducted at other locations, from Los Angeles and San Diego in the south to Arcata (Humboldt County) in the north.
Cheering and waving signs, the Sacramento contingent marched more than a mile from Raley Field to the Capitol.
"Kick us out, we will vote you out," members of the crowd chanted as they walked along a bridge crossing Highway 99 and through downtown. The line of students, which included hundreds from the Bay Area, stretched six blocks, and some motorists honked in support as they drove by.
Marchers voiced fears again and again that if Schwarzenegger's proposed cuts go through, students will end up paying more to attend but will receive reduced services and fewer classes. Students also met with legislators to lobby them to support alternatives to the cuts.
"They keep talking about us being the future of California, but if they keep cutting education, there will be no future," said Tiffany Trujillo, a 22-year-old junior at San Francisco State University. "It seems like education is always the first thing they cut."
Once the protesters reached the Capitol steps, they rallied and listened to speeches for about two hours until noon. Garamendi, a Democrat, reminded them that Ronald Reagan and Pete Wilson, the former conservative Republican governors, both raised taxes to fund education, something Schwarzenegger has flatly rejected.
"Are we ready to reach back into history and do it once again?" Garamendi asked to rousing cheers. "We can, we must."
"Let's get real," the lieutenant governor added. "There is no more important investment than the investment in students. We will build roads, we will build trains, but the most important things to build are the minds of students."
Schwarzenegger and his top financial advisers have said the state's plummeting revenues mean that all services, from education to health care programs, must suffer cuts to close a budget gap that is likely to grow to $14 billion - and possibly $16 billion - by June 2009. He plans to release a revised budget on May 14.
Aaron McLear, a spokesman for Schwarzenegger, said higher education continues to be a high priority for the governor, but considering the scope of the deficit, it would be unfair to cut certain items in the state budget while leaving others untouched.
"The governor is as frustrated as the students are that he has to make these cuts. He doesn't want to make these cuts," he said.
That sort of sentiment didn't carry much weight with students such as Ai Ho, a 35-year-old student at City College of San Francisco who carried a sign reading "Educate to Liberate" as he marched. He said he works in digital imaging and went back to school because "I want to get a better job. Education is the way." If fees go up, he might have to drop out, he said.
One student from San Jose State, 24-year-old Joel Bridgeman, said raising the money for college was so tough that he was homeless - couch surfing - for about a year as he went to school.
"Most of the people who work in this building probably either went to CSU, UC or (community college), but as the next generation comes up they are looking for the easy solution," he said. "They are looking for what is going to get them re-elected. They say our voice doesn't matter, but I have a message for them ... we are here to demand our chance."
Hundreds of miles south, students in Los Angeles picketed at Pershing Square, chanting slogans and slowing foot traffic on the sidewalk around lunchtime. There were only about 200 students from the three college systems, but those who attended made their point loudly.
"We're talking about the future of California, and with the budget crisis going on, it only makes sense to invest in students who will give back to the economy and the state later on," said Gregory Cendana, a senior at UCLA.

"We had to wait two years without prize money"
Haas is not ruling out appealing the ruling of the stewards in Abu Dhabi.
In a complex case, the American outfit protested against Force India, alleging that after the sale to Lawrence Stroll, the Silverstone based team had not technically built its own cars.
Force India accused Haas of being "hypocritical", saying the outfit designs many more parts of its car than the Ferrari-linked American team does.
But the dispute is essentially over about $60 million in official F1 income that boss Gunther Steiner claims Force India should no longer be eligible for.
"As a new team, we had to wait two years without prize money, and so should they. This is a question that had to be dealt with," said Steiner.
The stewards did not agree, and Steiner is now considering an appeal.
"I cannot say whether we will or we will not, but after consulting with our lawyers we will decide soon," he said.
Steiner insists that the protest was never about getting more money for Haas, but rather that Force India competes with the same rules as other new teams.
"We will decide what to do next after the race weekend, because for now we have other things to do in Abu Dhabi. We will deal with the issue on Monday or Tuesday," Steiner said.

An article in Phys Org caught my attention with the headline “When humans split from the apes”. Of course evolutionists are convinced we did evolve from an ape-like creature millions of years ago, so the real question they want answered is “WHEN” did this happen (not if)?
The article goes back and forth with a certain degree of certainty regarding human evolution, and I think it’s a good demonstration as to the sheer uncertainty of evolution.
The author of the article, Darren Curnoe, is trying to tackle this evolutionary enigma and admits that scientists and philosophers have been asking questions about human evolution for more than three centuries. No one knew where the hundreds of extinct apes fell within the human lineage. So he offers a number of candidates that have been proposed over the years, including Ramapithecus– an extinct ape supposedly 14 million years old. In the 1960s this ape was thought to represent a separation from humans and gorillas 30 million years ago, but now that has been significantly reduced to about 8.5 to 12 million years ago based on alternative dating methods.
Curnoe examines some of the dating techniques used to determine an evolutionary time line. Beginning in the 1960s, blood proteins were studied and compared between humans and apes. Today scientists use this method as a ‘molecular clock’, identifying certain genetic mutations scientists can use to estimate when organisms split apart into separate lineages.
One of the problems with the molecular clock is that it rests on a number of unprovable assumptions, such as the belief that evolution is true, and that all organisms are related to a single common ancestor. This means that, even if organisms are unrelated, scientists can still use the molecular clock to assign dates of divergence- as if they were related. It’s interesting to note that molecular clocks depend on other methods of dating for calibration, such as the geologic column.
Curnoe does a nice job articulating some of the uncertainty surrounding these “well established” dating techniques, pointing out that they’re not without controversy or detractors. But that doesn’t prevent him or other scientists from using these dates to reinforce evolutionary beliefs.
Nonetheless, scientists admittedly know very little about chimp evolution, in particular, and are forced to rely on genomic evidence due to scant fossil evidence. Humans were accepted as being closely related to chimps and gorillas during the nineteenth century when T.H. Huxley (Darwin’s bulldog) performed dissections and examined their similarities. But one problem with this line of reasoning is the assumption that similarities represent ancestry, which isn’t necessarily true. Humans, chimps and gorillas may share similarities without having any ancestry at all. Curnoe even admits this when he explains that some scientists dispute particular lineages by arguing that any similarities can be explained without the necessity of shared ancestry.
Even with ancestry assumed, the human lineage continued to be contested. I’m pleasantly surprised that this is a contested area; so many evolutionists want to make the case that we evolved from an ape-like ancestor, but if we’re not, then it makes sense that would be hard to fit humans into the family tree of apes based on superficial reasoning. Yet Curnoe claims that the controversy was resolved by molecular biologists in the year 2000 when they decided that humans and chimps shared a common ancestor only after gorillas had evolved in a different direction.
Despite this resolution, however, other controversies have arisen, and there are a number of anthropologists arguing that extinct apes like Orrorin, Sahelanthropus and Ardipithecus are not part of the human evolutionary branch. Curnoe is honest about the fact that there are so few fossils that scientists can’t determine when humans, chimps and gorillas separated.
Another issue I found was that Curnoe is using old data when he references his belief that humans share 99 percent of their DNA with chimps; this claim is filled with evolutionary bias and is closer to 70 percent once necessary factors are considered.
We’re told that in 2000, molecular clocks put the human- chimpanzee split around five to six million years ago. But then new fossil evidence pushed that date back, so now Curnoe admits the molecular clocks will need to be rethought. In addition he laments that we have so few fossils in the range of 4 to 12 million years that scientists are far from determining when and where the human lineage diverged from chimps and gorillas. Even if scientists could agree where to place many of these fossil apes, there would be other issues to overcome, such as the speed these creatures would have had to evolve.
The bottom line is that there are hundreds of extinct apes we have fossil evidence for, but scientists, even though they’re certain we evolved from an ape-like creature, still don’t know where humans should be placed on the evolutionary tree of life, and they don’t know which fossils apes are human ancestors.
The author seems befuddled as to how much we don’t really know about human evolution. He provides a chronological review of how far we’ve progressed in this area of evolution, but he’s just as uncertain at the end of the article as he was at the beginning and hasn’t answered any of the questions he raised. But it’s clear he has accepted evolution to be true, and he touts the molecular clock dating method with a glowing endorsement.
When I look at the evidence evolutionists present, what I observe are a bunch of ancient fossils, many of which are in horrible condition, deteriorated by years buried in the earth. The fossils are predominantly extinct apes, and in no way related to humans. Scientists, however, aren’t satisfied with this idea and insist on forcing humans into an evolutionary tree of life shared with apes and other animals based on superficial interpretations not demanded by the evidence. In other words evolutionary bias is at work.
As one who believes God created man in his image, I think the observable evidence more accurately demonstrates that humans have always been separate from animals, and that’s why there’s such an incredible gap between us and any other animal.

I first met Mark Eitzel ten years ago. Courtesy of Lisa Fancher whose Frontier Records had just licensed American Music Club's first great classic, Engine, I was flown out to 'Frisco and after a prodigious human pig-out staked a table upstairs at a downtown bar and awaited prodigy.
I'd listened to Engine and liked it. Loved it, no, that came later. I was impressed by the songs, especially "Outside This Bar" and "At My Mercy". Lisa's cautions about Mark being shy and awkward intrigued me, but once we got talking I found him companionable, highly intelligent and very intense. His insistent self-depreciation and apparent discomfort with just being alive was fascinating and endearing.
Later we crossed the bay to see Young Fresh Fellows and then parted. My last morning in 'Frisco we met up in a restaurant and Mark tried to oblige me with some copy but he was obviously uncomfortable and I'd wished to God I'd captured our first meeting on tape.
Engine was soon being recognized as a work of sophistication and Eitzel's songwriting as something pretty special.
Licensed by Demon it was making an impression and AMC arrived for some showcases. Mark and Dan ended up crashing in a spare room in the house I shared. I hung out with them a little, which was a pleasure, but I'll never forget sitting one morning in my kitchen rapt and grateful as Mark played me some new songs on his beat up acoustic. These songs which I suppose ended up on California were quite unspeakably beautiful. I went back to Engine with a vengeance and then fell in love with it, and soon California. And I'm still in love with them.
I saw the band and Mark's performance was devastating in its intensity: a good front man will give you their heart but only the true great will give you their soul and Mark is one who does, delivering it slice by dripping slice, an ungodly, holy pizza topped with his guts.
A lot happened then. More albums, endless tours, and for Eitzel the big deals and hot reviews and, finally from Rolling Stone, the sort of accolades granted only the great. And make no mistake, Mark Eitzel is one of the great songwriters of his - any - generation.
Ten years on and Mark Eitzel has been through the business mill, held himself together and emerged through the other side a formidable solo artist. Having dispatched 60 Watt Silver Lining, he teamed up with Peter Buck and now it's West, a collaboration that gives us more of his greatness. All the dents and rust are there, the shine is too.
And I'm talking to him again. We're both ten years older - and as Mark points out, "wiser" - and his openness dictates that the answers are good, whole and honest. And he sounds happy too after the uncertainties of the post-AMC fallout his work's cut out for a while at least, a month touring the States with Buck, reissues of early AMC albums imminent, a soundtrack album with The Rachels in the pipeline and maybe, who knows, a book although Mark says characteristically that "when you're talentless..." that can take a long time.
From its opening "If You Have To Ask", reminiscent of Brian Wilson's most penetrating work and "Free Of Harm" where Buck's influence is really felt and through another ten songs, West reassures us that here is a songwriter whose powers have not remotely begun to wane.
Recorded in Seattle with engineer Ed Brooks (Automatic For The People) and Tuatara, a quasi-folk combo cooked up by Buck, Screaming Tree Barret Martin and Skerrit.

Leonard Cohen is a Canadian singer / song-writer / poet, born in 1934, who has been producing music since his first self-titled album in 1967. “Hallelujah” is one of his most famous songs, and was released on his 1984 album “Various Positions”. The song initially had limited success, but attention was shone on the song by covers by John Cale, Jeff Buckley and kd Lang. It is “Hallelujah” that Bono covers on this compilation album.
Howie B. was first brought in to meet the band when Bono was working on the recording of “Hallelujah” as a potential producer for the song that Bono was struggling with. He then worked with the band on the Passengers album, and then would produce “Pop”.
U2 would often play snippets of “Hallelujah” live in concert, often adding it at the end of the show during the PopMart concerts.
The compilation album “Tower of Song” was released in Canada with a cover that was taken from the back cover of Cohen’s album “Songs of Leonard Cohen” a version of the painting “Anima Sola” featuring a woman in chains engulfed in flames. The cover was changed for the international release, instead featuring a notebook cover with the title of the album on it, and a note with the artists listed.
The inside liner notes features a picture of Bono leaning against a light covered with oriental characters, holding an umbrella, wearing his fly shades.
Written by Leonard Cohen. Lead vocal, bacing vocals, finger clicks: Bono. Backing vocals: Louise McCormick. Keys: Jeremy Shaw. Produced by Bono. Engineered, mixed and recorded by Louise McCormick. Additional production and remix: Howie B. Assistant engineers: Will and Danny.

'Baby Cakes' was an Otis Redding song written for his singer Loretta Williams' Jotis label release in 1965 and has become a much in-demand Northern Soul record in recent years. About 18 months later Otis reused the song on Maxine Brown when Wand records sent her to Muscle Shoals where she recorded two songs under his tutelage. This super version has never been on 45 before so expect sales to both Maxine and 'Baby Cakes' fans.

With a growing dependence on broader regional and global markets, the value of transportation connections becomes increasingly important for business competitiveness. To address this concern, the Portland Business Alliance, Port of Portland, Metro, and Oregon DOT collaborated in a unique public-private cooperative effort. The group hired Economic Development Research Group to conduct a study of alternative transportation investment scenarios and their implications for the Portland region's economy over the next 20 years. A particular concern was the impact of growing congestion if there is under-investment in multi-modal transportation solutions, and its stakes for the region's economy.
The study included analysis of the region's economic clusters, the economic dependence on traded industries and transportation connections, and the economic role of the region's port/gateway and hub transportation facilities. Interviews were conducted with executives in all sectors of the economy to identify how their business is affected by traffic congestion. The findings included examples of how congestion had affected the breadth of delivery markets, distribution warehouse locations, inventory levels, shift scheduling, overtime costs and technology worker recruitment.
Transportation and economic models were used to forecast the implications of alternative scenarios for the next 20 years. These included a scenario for currently planned transportation investments and a scenario for an "improved system." The Transportation Economic Development Impact System (TREDIS) was used to evaluate changes in business operating costs, household costs and market access, and implications for future economic productivity, competitiveness and growth. TREDIS was used in tandem with Metro's EMME/2 transportation network modeling system.
The study showed how unchecked congestion could threaten Portland's competitiveness as a major gateway and distribution center for domestic and international markets. It also showed the relative benefits and costs of alternative future scenarios that involved a combination of highway, transit, and non-motorized transportation investments. Finally, it provided an overview of ways in which communities can address congestion through various planning and capital investment projects.

The previous part of this three-part series showed how to draw user forms; this part shows how to write macros to get them to work (the final part shows how to use some of the more advanced controls, such as combo boxes and MultiPages).
This blog is part of our Excel VBA tutorial blog. If you want classroom training (for small groups of up to 6 people), take a look at our courses in VBA.
Here we're about to click on the green triangular play tool to see what the form looks like.
In an ideal world the Cancel button would work too!
You can attach a macro to this button so that when a user clicks on it, your form appears.
This macro has to be in a separate module because the ShowForm procedure above has to be publicly exposed. Routines that you write within a form are private to that form, and nothing else can see them.
The order of events for a form is shown here.
The main reason that the order of events above is important is that the Initialize event for a form will only run when it loads: so if you hide and then redisplay a user form, any code attached to the Initialize event won't run.
Now we've seen how to run a form, it's time to look at getting the buttons to work - and for that we need to look at form events.

Irish dancers under 10 years old are now forbidden to wear makeup or false eyelashes during competition but can still wear wigs. The Irish Dancing Commission’s site announced that the ban would take effect in March.
The news created major ripples in the Irish dance world where there has been considerable controversy over the increasing use of makeup on young children. Debbie Ryan, the Long Island-based parent of one former Irish dancer, told IrishCentral that she welcomed the news.
“It is good, more age appropriate. Children ten and under do not wear that stuff in the real world so why should Irish dancing be different?
Another move has been to ban carriage aids that allow dancers of all ages to keep their arms straight while dancing. To ensure the dancers aren’t wearing the aids, they will “be required to perform the simple exercise of raising their arms to shoulder level unhindered,” say the new rules.

We’ve had a goodly number of donations recently from people who have sorted their books by subject. Some of them are trying to be helpful, while others had the books sorted to be put into storage, had them in storage for a long enough period to allow them to part with the books, and THEN donated them. This results in a donation which is sometimes efficient, sometimes fun, and sometimes both.
I’ve mentioned this hereintofore: no two people will sort books in exactly the same way. Everyone has a personal vision of what a shelf of, say, baseball books ought to contain, and if that includes Malamud’s The Natural, why, that’s a valid opinion. It doesn’t work for US, since our Sports section is restricted to nonfiction works and The Natural is a novel, and Malamud important enough for his novel to go into Literature. But we get the principle behind the sorting.
Likewise, we understand why those of you who sort Fiction separately don’t do so by our standards. One such donation recently included several boxes labeled “Fiction”, but fewer than half the books inside were sorted by us into the Fiction shelves. There were several books of short stories, a smattering of literature, and half a ton of mysteries. This is not surprising: mystery novels ARE fiction. We just sort in a little more detail.
We will never demand that you sort your books before donating. We do that; it’s one of the fun parts of the job. And we would certainly never insist that you study our list of categories and sort the books exactly the way we do it. (For one thing, no two of US will sort quite the same way.) But I thought I might just pass along a few guidelines for telling a mystery novel from a novel.
There’s the picture on the cover, of course. These illustrations have gone through fads and phases over the years, and will vary depending on whether you are dealing with private eyes, small town book group detectives, or government operatives. But a body lying on the floor is generally a dead giveaway. (Sorry.) Similarly, if there is a skull, skull and crossbones, or skeleton on the cover (especially if the skeleton is standing up) you have a pretty good chance that the book includes the phrase, “I accuse you, Poodle Pierre, of poisoning the housekeeper!” This is especially true if the skull is grinning at you out of something unexpected, like a ball of yarn in a knitting basket or an apple on a fruit stand. (Standing skeletons are a little old-fashioned now for mysteries, and went through a phase of appearing on fantasy novels instead, but presumably you aren’t dealing with a stack of books from 2018.) A standing pool of blood in a strange place should be considered an indication that foul play is involved.
Thrillers can frequently be identified by having the seal of a government agency or a police badge on the cover. There are nonfiction works which do the same thing, but if the emblem is torn, cracked, cut through with a knife, or dripping blood, this is almost always going to be on a book about daring secret agents trying to save or topple a government. The same applies to national or political symbols: a hammer and sickle, an American Eagle, etc.
Look at the title, while you’re at it. Thrillers can be especially difficult, as they like to use a simple formula of “The (Proper Name) (Noun)”. The Kremlin Letter, The DaVinci Code, The Polar Vortex…these all tell the reader to prepare for a wild ride.
The words Death, Dead, and Deadly can be used as major clues. Nowadays, the trend is away from using the words Body, Corpse, Murder, Homicide, Case, or Mystery: these belong to an era which liked more definite labels but look for them. They get reprinted, y’know. As stated in a previous column, any title including a sorry play on any of these words (Little Dead Riding Hood) is probably a suspect.
I hate to mention it, but you MIGHT look below the title, too. Some authors should be pretty well known to you as mystery writers (Agatha Christie didn’t write MUCH else) and sometimes the publisher will help out by slathering “The New Priscilla Poisson Mystery!” on the cover.
In the last resort, of course, you can just put it in the box. We grade boxes mainly on content, not so much on sorting.

Anton Krupicka returns to racing this weekend after a year-and-a-half layoff due to injuries. He’s in the best shape of his life. In the following interview, hear what Anton has to say about his injuries, his training, his take on this weekend’s race, and what he’s up to next.
iRunFar: Bryon Powell of iRunFar here with Tony Krupicka before the 2012 Speedgoat 50k. How’s it going, Tony?
Anton Krupicka: It’s going well, Bryon. How are you?
iRF: Alright. It’s been a long time since you’ve raced, man.
Krupicka: Yeah, it’s 18 months, I guess—18 months exactly. Rocky Raccoon 2011, last year, February—that was the last time I raced. I’m just really excited to get back at it. Training has been going well for the last couple of months, so I’m definitely feeling fit and healthy.
iRF: First you had a broken leg?
Krupicka: No, first I had the shin issue, the posterior tibialis tendonitis. Then, I broke my leg last summer. The shin was just starting to get healthy. Then, I broke my leg and was out for 3 months with that, the entire summer. Then, when I came back from that, pretty much literally within 5 days of returning to running, the same shin injury flared back up because it was the same leg that I broke. So it got weak and atrophied and I probably didn’t rehab it enough. So then, it was just this cycle of feeling ok, then rushing back into things too quickly, and just over and over again. Finally last spring, things started working again.
iRF: What happened? What did you change so that it started working again?
Krupicka: It’s not like… there’s no one thing. I really worked on the strengthening in the area. I resolved to be patient with it, I guess?
Krupicka: Oh, I’m horrible at it. I just get really excited about a little glimmer of hope in the injury, and I come back and do a 2-hour run or something and it just sets it back. So yeah, I was just really patient with it. I really tried to let go of any competitive ambitions. Taking the trip to Spain seemed to be really good for it; it forced me to rest for 10 days. Then, there was just good energy there for sure. I came back with a really positive mindset about running and the injury itself. I just kind of built momentum ever since I got back from Zegama, I guess.
iRF: When you were injured, most of the time, you weren’t running a whole lot, but you were hiking a ton, correct?
Krupicka: I think I was telling someone else in a different interview recently that even though I wasn’t able to run, I was still getting the uphill aggression out for sure. You can really hike hard uphill on a steep grade and go totally anaerobic at altitude. I was doing that daily, but the downhills were super tedious and frustrating. Hiking downhill isn’t very fun, but I was still putting in… some days I’d put in two Green summits. That went on for months, from September of last year until May of this year.
iRF: When you started running again, how quickly did you jump back in to your mileage?
Krupicka: Oh man, it’s funny because even now I still do a ton of hiking. I don’t even really track miles anymore. It’s much more… I can tell you last week I did 26-27 hours or something like that. Of that, the amount that was running… the amount of miles that I did was probably in the range of 130 miles. That’s a pretty slow 130 miles in 27 hours. So a lot of it is still hiking because that’s the kind of terrain that I seek out now.
Krupicka: That’s by design though. I could be running 100% of my miles if I wanted to.
Krupicka: I think it’s really good. You know, here we are the Thursday before a race on Saturday, and it’s a really stacked race. I could look silly on camera saying, “Ah, I feel great and fit and ready to go,” and then have a bad race, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. I feel really fit. Everything I’ve done in training has indicated that I’m in the best shape in my life, and I’m really excited about that. So, we’ll see.
iRF: How’s it stack up this weekend? It’s a great field. Who’s going to be up there right at the front?
Krupicka: Justin Ricks, I just ran into him this morning. He’s been running a lot at altitude actually, because I’ve been running into him a couple times up in Leadville. I don’t know, we’ll see.
iRF: So you were out at Hardrock recently. You had an entry into Hardrock; you didn’t take it. How are you feeling?
Krupicka: Yeah. Yeah. Ahh, a little bit of regret, a little bit of regret. It’s hard. It’s really difficult to sit it out because this shin injury has been really up and down the whole time. The reason I decided not to do Hardrock is about a month before the race, I kind of had a little flare up with it again. I did an 8 hour run on it. I figured, well, if I’m going to run Hardrock, I should be able to run for 8 hours—even that run had a lot of hiking in it. The shin flared up after that. So if I can’t do 8 hours, there’s no way I’m going to be able to do 24 hours of the course. So, I decided I wasn’t going to do Hardrock.
Then, two days before the race, I was down there, so I went and ran a section of the course. I did 8 hours on it and felt great. The shin was totally fine. I paced Joe 8 hours on it a day and a half later. Then another 3 days later, did an 11.5 hour run on it last Tuesday and it’s been completely and totally fine. So I feel 100% healthy now but definitely some regret that I didn’t do Hardrock now. It’s just like, such a good race this year, the course was so fast, and I think this direction is the more fun direction to do it—not having to run up all those long gradual grades. But, hopefully, I’ll get into the race again in the future and give it a shot.
iRF: So you’re fit, you’ve had a long layoff from racing. How are you going to hold yourself back from not over-racing or over-eventing in the next couple of months?
Krupicka: I’m just going to listen to my legs. Hopefully injuries aren’t an issue, but also just energy and burn out can be an issue. I have a lot of fun stuff lined up starting in September, but if I’m just completely worked after Leadville next month in August, I’m not going to go to Spain and do Cavalls on dead legs. I want to go in rested and feeling good. So we’ll see. We’ll just play it by ear and see how it goes. I’m going to be traveling to South Africa for New Balance anyhow, so that trip should be happening anyway. So we’ll see if Cavalls happens or Reunion, but right now I’m 100% happy with my plans.
Krupicka: Yes, so that’s going to get squeezed out the most, because there’s 6 weeks between Leadville and Cavalls. I want to be at my best going to Cavalls. Kilian’s going to be there again, Miguel [Heras] might be racing, Andy Symonds is racing, Dakota’s [Jones] racing, Joe’s [Grant] going to be there. It’s going to be a super deep field, you know. So if anything, I might just shoot for 10 peaks of Nolan’s just to kind of get a sense or get a pace set for what I can do on that line. Last week I did the first five peaks before getting hailed and lightninged out. I could have gotten seven really easily. We’ll see. I’m not going to force anything. It’s a lot of vertical on that line. It can beat you down for sure. Yeah, I’m just going to try to be smart about it.
iRF: Well it’s so good to see you back racing and training, Tony. Good luck this weekend.
PUMPED for you Tony. Run like the wind dude!!
Kilian has been racing SO much and had to travel SO far. Tony should take this one. It will be different when they meet again later this summer. Then Kilian wins.
Great interview, and awesome to have Anton back in the mix! I was thinking, though, when he mentioned that he kind of regretted not racing Hardrock, given he hadn't had a flare recently, that while that's totally understandable, it's also quite likely that not having the pressure of an upcoming Hardrock led him to train a bit differently, which may have helped his shin to to stabilize. I just really admire the decision he made – as someone who is too prone to push the healing process, and then end up worse than when I started! It's not usually purposeful, that pushing – I just misjudge where my thresholds are after an injury, think I'm "being smart", and then find out just how far the line pre-injury is from post-injury! Anyway – have an awesome run, Anton!
Having tasted it, I'll go with grass and ginger… it wasn't very tasty, but I'm not a juice guy.
Another great interview! Thank you very much Bryon for all that you do!

We have to configure hibernate, if we require the application to create the table when it doesn't already exists. Else, we would end up with the below mentioned exception.
The required hibernate property in the bean configuration file is.
The configuration hibernate.hbm2ddl would create a table, if it doesn't already exits. However, every time when we run the application, it will always create a new table by deleting the existing table. So, the value should be changed to update, if you wanted to create the table only once and from next time, use the available table.
Hope it would help the starters getting hands on hibernate.

The duo are currently getting ready for their debut EP release, Without Love Vol. 1.
While ANZU began all the way back in 2012 as a project between Simon Belanger and Jesse Silkie, it might just be their latest single that brings these two to the next level.
The disco-infused perfection is addicting from the very first moment and it is sure to be a dance party starter for those looking to have some fun during these cold months. The duo have come strong with a strong style and sound, and "(When I Was) Loving You" brings an eclectic mixture of modern touches with nostalgic soul, making it easily one of their best releases yet. If you're looking for a reason to be happy today, this is it.
The duo are currently getting ready for their debut EP release, Without Love Vol. 1. Check out the single below.

Green Marine is the first Monster Munch shark to report its position with other sharks reporting depth and temperature readings via satellite in recent days. Green Marine has moved just 10 miles between the 8thof August and 12thof August indicating that there is good feeding in the sea area North of Glengad. Amazingly this is exactly the same area Cailleach the Scottish tagged shark has taken up residence with both sharks undoubtedly passing each other and feeding in close proximity throughout recent days. See the google map below for a chart of the sharks reported movements to date.
The Fastloc Tags deployed by the monster munch team are proving less effective in relaying live position data than the Scottish counterparts deployed Spot 5 tags but it is hoped that once the Fastloc tags have ‘poped off’ their true value will be shown. All tags developments in the marine environment are compromises and the Fastloc tags/ Spot tags are no different. MK 10 Fastloc enabled tags record behavioural information such as depth and temperature readings as well as positions withGPS accuracy, the Spot5 tags relay position data only. It is hoped that once the Monster Munch tags have ‘poped off’ the data recovered via satellite will allow the reconstruction of a complete 3Dimentional shark track as opposed to the 2D surface only live track of the Spot 5 tag. In turn these findings may enable researchers to delve deeper into the behavioural characteristics of the sharks behaviour and possibly answer some of the most elusive marine biology questions of the generation. For now it is great to sit back and wait for the next instalment.

Abbas Kiarostami’s 1990 pseudo-documentary Close-Up is a masterpiece of empathy, says Dan Slevin.
If there’s a more interesting national cinema than that of Iran, then I don’t know one. Through all the upheaval of the past fifty years, Iranian filmmakers have not only told interesting stories, challenging the political and social status quo at personal risk, but they’ve also often been able to discover entirely new ways of engineering films – new ways of seeing and new ways of telling – an adventurousness that’s justified by an enthusiastic cinema culture that’s over 100 years old.
In recent years the flag for Iranian cinema has been flown by Asgar Farhadi who has won two Foreign language Oscars – A Separation and The Salesman. Jafar Panahi’s films – some more traditional like Offside and Crimson Gold but, more recently, necessarily – due to his house arrest and 20-year ban from filmmaking from the authoritarian regime – like This is Not a Film and Taxi.
Then there is the Iranian diaspora in Europe and the United States: Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis), Ramin Bahrani (99 Homes) and Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night).
But the two biggest hitters in Iranian cinema internationally are Mohsen Makhmalbaf and the late Abbas Kiriostami. Makhmalbaf is in exile in Paris and still making films but Kiarostami passed away in 2016. Kiarostami’s Close-Up (1990) is 43rd-equal (with Gertrud, Playtime, Some Like It Hot and Pierrot le fou) in the Sight & Sound Top 50 Films of All Time list compiled in 2012 – and which is the basis for this project – and it is another of the films in the list that, on the surface, seem like they would only appeal to critics and academics.
Inspired by a notorious-in-Iran true story, Close-Up is about a down-at-heel young Tehran man who pretends to be the great director Makhmalbaf in order to win the favour of an upper-middle class family. The ruse is swiftly discovered and the family believes that his intention was to steal but, at his trial, a more complicated picture emerges – of a poor man who wanted to be an artist, a lover of cinema who for economic reasons struggles to even feed his family, of a someone who wanted to be a somebody, somebody for whom cinema itself speaks like the finest poetry.
Kiarostami reads of the affair in a magazine and persuades the accused, the judge and the plaintiff family that he should be able to film the trial. More than that, he contributes to the (informal by Western standards) proceedings with his own questions and interruptions.
But that alone isn’t enough to make Close-Up both groundbreaking and affecting. After the trial, he persuades all the parties to portray themselves in re-enactments of crucial scenes from the story – the initial meeting between imposter Hossain Sabzian and Mrs. Ahankhah on a bus, an awkward breakfast at the Ahankhah’s house on the day Sabzian is caught and arrested, the prelude to the arrest in the form of a long taxi ride with the journalist, two conscripted soldiers and an amused taxi driver who used to be a fighter pilot.
The resulting film is a masterpiece of empathy as well as an amused portrait of a nation that seems to be in a state of confusion about itself. People in the film are rarely as they seem. The two Ahankhah sons, for example are trained civil engineers but one works in a bakery and one is unemployed.
Close-Up isn’t the easiest introduction to Iranian cinema and Kiarostami didn’t get much easier, even when he shot his final two films in the west. Certified Copy and Like Someone in Love require a great deal of their respective audiences. If you want to dip your toes into the cinema of Iran, I’d start with Panahi’s funny and sweet Offside (about a bunch of soccer-mad teenage girls trying to watch an international soccer match despite women being excluded) or anything by Farhadi.
Close-Up is not available on a streaming service in New Zealand, but you can find imported DVDs at stores like Aro St, Alice in Videoland and Videon. You’ll need a player that can cope with all zones.
The Sight & Sound Top 50 project is intended to encourage more attention to the greatest films of the past – in the same way we still read old books and listen to old music we should be appreciating old movies.

Although France might be considered peripheral in the Drum & Bass scene, French producer Redeyes has consistently been on the forefront of the genre. Initially starting as a DJ, Julien Salvi soon found his way to the studio, fine-tuning his own blend of soulful music.
When his first album Poetry In Motion was released in 2008 his international booking schedule took off, and also gained Redeyes the approval of the most renowned people in the Drum & Bass landscape. Since then he has started working closely with Toulouse based imprint Vandal, releasing his second album Part Of Me in 2013 and more recently, his Memory Lane EP series.
Although his preferred tempo is provisionally labeled as Drum & Bass, this container concept is too narrow for Redeyes' specific sound. Firmly embedded in Hip-Hop aesthetics and its music and culture, it is only natural his influences are also informed by Jazz, Soul, Funk and Dub. Using this palette in different ways, Redeyes has gained traction from such diverse labels as Ninja Tune, Tru Thoughts, Brownswood and The North Quarter.

This paper looks at the phenomenon of media piracy on the internet and in real space. As I live in the Philippines, I will focus on the piracy here, but my remarks will not be limited to the local situation. I will look at the phenomenon of piracy as such and try and outline some observations about how piracy works. First of all, I will look at piracy as a means of distributing films, and - drawing on interviews with some traders of pirated media material - on how the piracy market functions in the Philippines. I will also discuss the effect that the access to quality films has on the local film culture and media literacy in general and on the teaching of film in particular. Then I will discuss the unprecedented rise of media piracy in the last couple of years as one of the most prominent issues of the "digital millennium". The "Pirates of the New World Image Order" (Patricia R. Zimmermann) are not only piggy-backing on the new globalized economy that has arisen due to the world-wide deregulation and liberalization of markets in the 1980s and 1990s. They are also profiteers of a number of technological developments in the computer sciences such as the international expansion of the Internet, which has challenged traditional notions of copy right and intellectual property on a very fundamental level.

Can Playing Games Help Students Master Concepts from General Psychology Classes?
As part of a final project for a general psychology course, students were required to play a game, either digital/video or on a board. Students selected their own games, and were asked to identify psychological principles in their game play. Topics included the brain, sensation and perception, human development, learning, motivation, intelligence, personality, and mental disorders. Students successfully applied all topics to game play, but to varying degrees. Student discussions on the brain and intelligence were well covered. Discussions on personality and psychological disorders issues were relatively poor. Students were able to make connections between concepts and their game-play experiences.
Playing games has been and continues to be a recommended way to learn. This idea aligns well with constructivism, or student-centered learning. Piaget, Vygotsky, and Montessori have all emphasized the role of play in learning and how it aids children and students with integrating new information into their knowledge base. This led to the question: would playing games in higher education also foster learning for students?
Play has been linked with improved learning in student-centered pedagogy. Games encourage collaboration (Pivec & Pivec, 2011), which is linked with improved learning. Educational games, including card games based on Uno or Crazy Eights, that capitalize on play have been effective in helping students learn minerals (Spandler, 2016), and in encouraging collaboration. Having students watch a biology professor demonstrate a complex process by drinking fake urine fosters an emotional, personal connection for learning (Lujan & DiCarlo, 2016); afterward, students who saw the fake demonstration had better recall and understanding of the biological process than those who did not. In general, playing games is associated with improved learning.
In the college environment, games have proven to be useful learning tools. In a simulation game created specifically for a chemistry course, students built a battery and their processes were recorded (Hou, 2015). Students who were more involved in the activity showed greater reflection and problem-solving actions, and all demonstrated a positive focus even when the final product did not work. Similarly, in a SQL computer language college class, professors created a game for students to learn the language while interacting with non-player characters (NPCs) while tracking down a criminal mastermind (Soflano, Connolly, & Hainey, 2015). Several different methods of interaction with the NPCs were offered, including a picture-oriented option. Students gravitated toward the interaction style that helped them best learn the material and solve the game’s problem. Making games personally meaningful for these college courses improved measures of student success.
Student success has also been linked with video games specifically made for educational purposes. One such educational video game that focused on the process of identifying viruses was used as a supplement in a course for medical laboratory students (Fleischmann & Ariel, 2016). Though some complained about the simplicity of the game, 90% of the students reported enjoyment, learning, and acquiring applied knowledge for virus recognition. Engineering students demonstrated project management learning with a video game that required them to work in teams on a construction project (Misfeldt, 2015). The game required students to create companies, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and address obstacles and challenges to completing construction. Student reported having fun playing the game while also providing real-world experiences, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, and being able to think strategically. A role-playing game meant to teach sustainability used with engineering students required them to help people and organizations create green buildings (Dib & Adamo-Villani, 2014). When compared to non-playing peers, those who participated showed high rates of declarative and procedural knowledge about sustainability. Acting individually, students participated in a role-playing game helping people and organizations create green buildings. In addition to faculty created games, educational games are also linked with improved learning for college students.

First, let’s check the things you need regarding aquarium, such as tank, a graver, and filter. Fish aquariums are popular among many homeowners. You also need to have an aquarium vacuum cleaner, glass scrubber, test kits as well as other decoration such as plants. You also require a heater, fish net, and a pasta strainer in your aquarium.
Many people want to keep a freshwater aquarium since it helps them in de-stressing, especially after a lengthy day at work. What’s more, it is really simple to set up an aquarium. You don’t have to hire someone different to set-up one. If you wish to install your Aquarium Aquarium at your home, read on and find out how to easily do it.
What Size Will Your Tank Be and What kinds of Fish Do You want?
The first part of setting up Fish tank Fish Tanks is to look for the size. You can do this by thinking from the fish that can habitat your fish tank. There are some fish that will grow up to and including few inches, while some can be as long as a foot. If it is the very first time that you are usually keeping an aquarium, then I would suggest going for a 20 gallon setup and just grow smaller varieties of fishes.
Location, Location, Location… Why is This kind of Important?
After deciding the size of the aquarium, look for a spot to hold it~. The location should be free from direct exposure to the sun since it could affect the tank’s temperature. It can also cause unwanted growth of green algae. You should also ensure that the table having the aquarium may stand the weight of one’s Aquarium Fish Tank. When you decided on the size of your aquarium, you can then acknowledge the other equipment you may use including the filter, heater, gravel, plants, and power strip.
In setting upwards Aquarium Fish Tanks, wash the tank first with water. Never use cleaning soap in cleaning your own tank since its residue damages fish. Wash the gravel ahead of when putting it towards the tank. Place the washed gravel in the clean bucket as well as transfer it towards the aquarium, after which decorations like plants may be placed.
After this, you can now add water for your freshwater aquarium. You may want to employ a saucer in pointing the flow of water towards the plate, so you can avoid messing up the placement of one’s gravel and decorations. You may right now install the heater but remember to wait for the particular heater’s thermostat to sit in the temperature from the water. That means looking forward to about 15 moments.
Make sure that the water inside the actual aquarium has cycled before you decide to add fish. You can put hard species associated with fish like cherry barb to speed up the cycle of nitrogen in the aquarium. You can tell in the event the cycle of the aquarium has kicked in high gear any time white and cloudy water becomes apparent.
In adding fish just make sure that you do it individually. You can also float the bag inside your aquarium so your fish would be acclimated to the tank’s temperature. This can furthermore prevent fishes from dying early.
How Often Must i Clean the Fish tank?
Cleanliness is crucial. Aquarium Fish Tanks have to be maintained well, so be ready to clean it weekly..

…but my perception of my weight hit a new low when I entered the menopause. I have always tried to keep in some sort of shape by working out but I have never been consistent. I would train very hard for 6 months of the year and then take the next 6 months off. But the menopause threw even my limited efforts out of the window.
I was suffering with a bad case of anxiety and fatigue and so I didn’t have the physical or mental energy to exercise. Even the thought of trudging to the gym was enough to make me feel ill. I was also anxious about leaving the house and bumping into anyone I knew on the way in case they wondered what had happened to me. I was stuck in a loop as not exercising made me feel down which made me less inclined to go out which made me more self-conscious which made me more inclined to stay indoors with a Netflix box set and a tub of peanut butter for company.
It was especially upsetting to me because I naturally have quite an athletic body. At the age of 3, I had thick, strong ‘footballers legs’ and I was always really sporty at school. Even during my party days in the 90s, I was still able to work out and keep fit. So this state I found myself in and this person I found myself becoming was completely foreign to me; and the truth is it scared me, largely because I had no idea what was happening to my body.
After finally realising that all my symptoms were connected to the menopause, I started the slow and difficult process of getting myself back on track. Ladies, I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t easy and I’ve had to be very strict with myself. I have also had to be realistic. I had to finally come to terms with the fact that I no longer have the metabolism of a 20-year-old. The saying, “a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips” couldn’t be more accurate. But with patience (mostly with yourself) and dedication, you can get back into shape.
This is the LAST thing that you will want to do especially if you are suffering with fatigue but low-impact aerobic exercises, such as walking or swimming, are great for the lungs and heart and keep you active while burning calories. It also stimulates the brain’s production of serotonin that can improve your mood. Exercise is vital during our time of life as the menopause increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. A good exercise regime helps to regulate heart health and strengthen bones.
The loss in muscle mass as you go through the menopause slows down your metabolism. To speed it back up, try and get some strength-training exercises in like yoga, pilates, and even gardening(!), about 2-3 times a week.
That extra slice of chocolate cake after dinner may be tempting, but watch out! Diet is incredibly important to maintaining a healthy weight through menopause, so focus on reducing the amount of processed food in your diet and instead, eating more filling, complex carbs and lean proteins.
Never skip a meal! Instead, eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. This keeps our metabolism and energy level up, and our digestive systems happy.
Blood sugar tends to drop around 4pm, so keep a healthy, high-protein snack in your handbag to keep your energy up and avoid sugar cravings later in the night. Snacks like nuts and apple slices are quick, easy, and healthy.
Don’t drink your calories! Not only does alcohol dehydrate the body and disrupt sleep which makes menopausal symptoms even worse, it also fills you up with empty calories. Just the same, fizzy drinks and fruit juices are full of sugar and calories, so cutting them out is an easy way to cut-down on your daily sugar intake.
A good quantity of multivitamins and probiotics can help keep you and your body active, helping you process and digest food in the healthiest way. If you’re missing key nutrients from your diet, like omega-3 fatty acids, consider taking supplements. However, speak to your GP before taking them, since they may interact with some medications.
If the majority of your diet is healthy, allow yourself a cheat day. The other day, I really fancied chips with lashings of vinegar and salt. And it was delicious – no regrets. As long as you are conscious of your overall health and wellbeing, a cheat day every now and then isn’t going to cause you any lasting harm.
