It has been more than two decades since I have truly seen my daughter. I do not mean that we have not been in contact, though there were several years when that was reality<|fim_middle|> I agree. As long as there is life, there is hope. I pray there is hope for other players and their decisions.
I'm glad she's getting through it.
Your post brought tears to my eyes. I can only imagine what your daughter has been through, and you as her mother to watch. I hope she continues to smile and shine.
She is a tough cookie somewhere in there. Like so many of the rest of us, she wants to avoid conflict, doesn't want to be seen as the "b****," and feels that walking away without standing up is somehow preferred to setting boundaries. She's learning.
There was a time that I did not think I would see the day that she would find her way back to being ... I have seen more joy from her, even through the struggles, in this last few months than I have since she left home 20 years ago. I rejoice in that. | . But today, I saw my daughter again in one of her purest forms, just as she was when she was a little girl. It has been a long time coming. It is as if she is seeing the world again for her first time.
Twenty years ago, she left home to pursue a relationship. Over these years, as a parent, I could only stand by and hope that I might have been wrong about what I suspected from the git-go. What that was is unimportant to say for the moment. Suffice it to say that she made a courageous decision this summer, one that was not easy for her, and it has come with some pain.
What I have seen in these last few months is a resolve to reclaim her life and her sense of well-being. To see her smile again, surrounded by friends, doing things that make her happy, stretching herself to new limits to figure out who she is again, is the best thing that a parent might ask for.
Though tough decisions are never easy to make, sometimes the pain of staying where one is may be far worse than clawing one's way out of the abyss we have allowed others to lead us into.
There was once a time when I felt that I would never again see the heart and soul of the brilliant, open, creative, young woman to whom I gave birth. But today, I saw her.
And she has begun to smile once again.

It is so hard as a parent to let things take their natural course. I too am experiencing someone trying to make a new start. All we can give is love and support. I feel happy for both you and your daughter.
That is fantastic. It is hard to see our children suffer, yet I know from personal experience that the hardest times are when I have personally developed the most. Hopefully, now she has put that behind her, she will rise to even greater heights.
I want to cry tears of joy for you. Your heart must be overflowing, and maybe your eyes, as well.
I´m so pleased your daughter is moving away from something that sounds so toxic. No wonder you are feeling so good.
Sometimes, it is so difficult to simply let go. And, in that lesson, we also realize there is much more of which we must let go. You are spot on...all we can do is give love.
I see her as she is becoming .... I wrote a poem awhile back (years ago) that I will have to resurrect and then another is bursting to come out.
I know it may be wrong, but I hoped to see these days when the decisions would be made. Unfortunately, I wouldn't have wished the decisions on anyone. I did not want to be right. I hoped I might be wrong. I am glad that she has the strength to move forward, even as heartbreaking as it can be.
We have not been separated all this time physically. But the emotional divide was great.
Thank you. It was/is so toxic. There are others involved, too, which breaks my heart. One will be okay. The other is being filled with poison, but my hope is that in time and with love that the situation will be healed.
Thanks. And, yes, it truly is a journey. When we are in the middle of it, sometimes we feel it could last forever. Having the moments to breathe again are those where we realize what we truly have within.
Oh dear. All we can really do is be there to help pick up the pieces, if allowed that is.
CoralLevang Everyone has to go through their pains and aches to grow as a person and learn to value the lessons life teach us. It is difficult to watch from the sidelines, but moments like the one you described showed that is worth it. The best for you and your daughter!
*nods* I prayed that I would be allowed to see that with her, and I am thankful there has been inclusion. I feared I would not live to ever see that day. Now, I pray for the time to see the others involved to understand that what is always seen, heard, or told is not always truth in reality. My heart cries at what has transpired, but I suppose lessons must be learned in this way. I keep a written journal now for each.
Thank you so much. I am so grateful for the healing and pray that it won't take as long for the others.
At least she survived it. My daughter did not survive her poor decisions.

"Outstanding Universal Value means cultural and/or natural significance which is so exceptional as to transcend national boundaries and to be of common importance for present and future generations of all humanity. As such, the permanent protection of this heritage is of the highest importance to the international community as a whole. The Committee defines the criteria for the inscription of properties on the World Heritage List."
Theme: 2.2.1 - Outstanding Universal Value: definition and attributes
"To be deemed of Outstanding Universal Value, a property must also meet the conditions of integrity and/or authenticity and must have an adequate protection and management system to ensure its safeguarding."
Decision of the World Heritage Committee 30 COM 9
3. "[The World Heritage Committee], conscious that outstanding universal value is a concept that shall embrace all cultures, regions and peoples, and does not ignore differing cultural interpretations of outstanding universal value because they originate from minorities, indigenous groups and/or local peoples,
4. Recognises that the identification of outstanding universal value on the basis of the established criteria needs to be analysed also in their cultural and natural context, and that in some instances, the tangible and intangible interpretations cannot be separated."
Decision: 30 COM 9
9. "[The World Heritage Committee] reinforces the rigorous, objective and consistent application of the three key tests to determine Outstanding Universal Value as set out in the Operational Guidelines:
a) the property must meet one or more of the 10 criteria (Paragraph 77);
b) the property must meet the conditions of integrity and/or authenticity (Paragraphs 79/95); and
c) the property must have an adequate protection and management system in place to ensure its safeguarding (Paragraph 78)."
3. "[The World Heritage Committee considers that], in compliance with the Convention and the Operational Guidelines<|fim_middle|>-cultural group or (ii) to the same type of property which is characteristic of the geographical zone and provided that it is the series as such and not its components taken individually, which is of outstanding universal value."
Decision: 4 COM VI.18-20
Decision of the World Heritage Committee 41 COM 8B.50
2. "[The World Heritage Committee notes] that some large complex serial transnational nominations may benefit from an agreed nomination strategy before their official submission, (…);
5. [The World Heritage Committee] emphasizes that, if and when, it takes note of a nomination strategy, this is not prejudicial and does not imply that the complex serial transnational nominations proposed would necessarily lead to an inscription on the World Heritage List."
Decision: 41 COM 8B.50 | , Outstanding Universal Value is recognised at the time of inscription of a property on the World Heritage List and that no recognition of Outstanding Universal Value is foreseen prior to this stage (…)."
5. "[The World Heritage Committee] Also recalling that the Operational Guidelines set out the conditions for inscription on the World Heritage List, strongly reiterates that only meeting criteria is not enough to warrant inscription, as to be deemed of Outstanding Universal Value a site must also meet the conditions of integrity (and authenticity) and must have an adequate protection and management system to ensure its safeguarding, as outlined in paragraph 78 of the Operational Guidelines;"
"All properties nominated for inscription on the World Heritage List shall satisfy the conditions of integrity."
Theme: 2.2.4 - Integrity
"Integrity is a measure of the wholeness and intactness of the natural and/or cultural heritage and its attributes. Examining the conditions of integrity, therefore requires assessing the extent to which the property:
a) includes all elements necessary to express its Outstanding Universal Value;
b) is of adequate size to ensure the complete representation of the features and processes which convey the property's significance;
c) suffers from adverse effects of development and/or neglect.
This should be presented in a statement of integrity."
"For properties nominated under criteria (i) to (vi), the physical fabric of the property and/or its significant features should be in good condition, and the impact of deterioration processes controlled. A significant proportion of the elements necessary to convey the totality of the value conveyed by the property should be included. Relationships and dynamic functions present in cultural landscapes, historic towns or other living properties essential to their distinctive character should also be maintained."
"For all properties nominated under criteria (vii) - (x), bio-physical processes and landform features should be relatively intact. However, it is recognized that no area is totally pristine and that all natural areas are in a dynamic state, and to some extent involve contact with people. Biological diversity and cultural diversity can be closely linked and interdependent and human activities, including those of traditional societies, local communities and indigenous peoples, often occur in natural areas. These activities may be consistent with the Outstanding Universal Value of the area where they are ecologically sustainable."
Threats: Changes in traditional ways of life and knowledge system Identity, social cohesion, changes in local population and community Impacts of tourism / visitor / recreation Indigenous hunting, gathering and collecting Ritual / spiritual / religious and associative uses Society's valuing of heritage
"In addition, for properties nominated under criteria (vii) to (x), a corresponding condition of integrity has been defined for each criterion."
The World Heritage Committee recommends providing a more detailed inventory of the attributes and elements of the property (based on Case law on decisions on Nominations).
See for examples Decisions: 32 COM 8B.28 33 COM 8B.32 34 COM 8B.20 34 COM 8B.11
"World Heritage properties may sustain biological and cultural diversity and provide ecosystem services and other benefits, which may contribute to environmental and cultural sustainability. Properties may support a variety of ongoing and proposed uses that are ecologically and culturally sustainable and which may enhance the quality of life and well-being of communities concerned. The State Party and its partners must ensure their use is equitable and fully respects the Outstanding Universal Value of the property. For some properties, human use would not be appropriate. Legislation, policies and strategies affecting World Heritage properties should ensure the protection of the Outstanding Universal Value, support the wider conservation of natural and cultural heritage, and promote and encourage the effective, inclusive and equitable participation of the communities, indigenous peoples and other stakeholders concerned with the property as necessary conditions to its sustainable protection, conservation, management and presentation."
Theme: 2.2.5.4 - Sustainable use
"Wherever necessary for the proper protection of the property, an adequate buffer zone should be provided."
Theme: 2.2.6.2 - Buffer Zones
"For the purposes of effective protection of the nominated property, a buffer zone is an area surrounding the nominated property which has complementary legal and/or customary restrictions placed on its use and development to give an added layer of protection to the property. This should include the immediate setting of the nominated property, important views and other areas or attributes that are functionally important as a support to the property and its protection. The area constituting the buffer zone should be determined in each case through appropriate mechanisms. Details on the size, characteristics and authorized uses of a buffer zone, as well as a map indicating the precise boundaries of the property and its buffer zone, should be provided in the nomination."
"A clear explanation of how the buffer zone protects the property should also be provided."
"Where no buffer zone is proposed, the nomination should include a statement as to why a buffer zone is not required."
"Although buffer zones are not part of the nominated property, any modifications to or creation of buffer zones subsequent to inscription of a property on the World Heritage List should be approved by the World Heritage Committee using the procedure for a minor boundary modification (see paragraph 164 and Annex 11). The creation of buffer zones subsequent to inscription is normally considered to be a minor boundary modification."
"A minor modification is one which has not a significant impact on the extent of the property nor affects its Outstanding Universal Value."
Theme: 2.2.6.3 - Minor modifications to the boundaries
"If a State Party wishes to request a minor modification to the boundaries of a property already on the World Heritage List, it must be prepared in compliance with the format of Annex 11 and must be received by 1 February by the Committee through the Secretariat, which will seek the evaluation of the relevant Advisory Bodies on whether this can be considered a minor modification or not. The Secretariat shall then submit the Advisory Bodies' evaluation to the World Heritage Committee. The Committee may approve such a modification, or it may consider that the modification to the boundary is sufficiently significant as to constitute a significant boundary modification of the property, in which case the procedure for new nominations will apply."
"Cultural and natural heritage are defined in Articles 1 and 2 of the World Heritage Convention.
For the purposes of this Convention, the following shall be considered as "cultural heritage";
- monuments: architectural works, works of monumental sculpture and painting, elements or structures of an archaeological nature, inscriptions, cave dwellings and combinations of features, which are of Outstanding Universal Value from the point of view of history, art or science;
- groups of buildings: groups of separate or connected buildings which, because of their architecture, their homogeneity or their place in the landscape, are of Outstanding Universal Value from the point of view of history, art or science;
- sites: works of man or the combined works of nature and of man, and areas including archaeological sites which are of Outstanding Universal Value from the historical, aesthetic, ethnological or anthropological points of view.
For the purposes of this Convention, the following shall be considered as "natural heritage":
- natural features consisting of physical and biological formations or groups of such formations, which are of Outstanding Universal Value from the aesthetic or scientific point of view;
geological and physiographical formations and precisely delineated areas which constitute the habitat of threatened species of animals and plants of Outstanding Universal Value from the point of view of science or conservation;
- natural sites or precisely delineated natural areas of Outstanding Universal Value from the point of view of science, conservation or natural beauty."
Theme: 2.7.1 - Cultural, Natural and Mixed Properties
"Properties shall be considered as "mixed cultural and natural heritage" if they satisfy a part or the whole of the definitions of both cultural and natural heritage laid out in Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention."
Decision of the World Heritage Committee 41 COM 9B
4. "[The World Heritage Committee] reiterates that due to the complexity of mixed site nominations and their evaluation, States Parties should ideally seek prior advice from IUCN and ICOMOS, if possible at least two years before a potential nomination is submitted, in compliance with Paragraph 122 of the Operational Guidelines."
Decision: 41 COM 9B
"Serial properties will include two or more component parts related by clearly defined links:
a) Component parts should reflect cultural, social or functional links over time that provide, where relevant, landscape, ecological, evolutionary or habitat connectivity.
b) Each component part should contribute to the Outstanding Universal Value of the property as a whole in a substantial, scientific, readily defined and discernible way, and may include, inter alia, intangible attributes. The resulting Outstanding Universal Value should be easily understood and communicated.
c) Consistently, and in order to avoid an excessive fragmentation of component parts, the process of nomination of the property, including the selection of the component parts, should take fully into account the overall manageability and coherence of the property (see paragraph 114).
and provided it is the series as a whole – and not necessarily the individual parts of it – which are of Outstanding Universal Value."
Theme: 2.7.3 - Serial properties
"A serial nominated property may occur:
a) on the territory of a single State Party (serial national property); or
b) within the territory of different States Parties, which need not be contiguous and is nominated with the consent of all States Parties concerned (serial transnational property)."
"Serial nominations, whether from one State Party or multiple States, may be submitted for evaluation over several nomination cycles, provided that the first property nominated is of Outstanding Universal Value in its own right. States Parties planning serial nominations phased over several nomination cycles are encouraged to inform the Committee of their intention in order to ensure better planning."
Decision of the World Heritage Committee CONF 003 XI.35
35. (i) "States Parties may propose in one single nomination several individual cultural properties, which may be in different geographical locations but which should:
- be linked because they belong to the same historic-cultural group, or
- be the subject of a single safeguarding project, or
- belong to the same type of property characteristic of the zone
Each State Party submits only the cultural properties situated on its territory (even if these properties belong to an ensemble which goes beyond its borders) but it may come to an agreement with another State Party in order to make a joint submission".
Decision: 3 COM XI.35
Decision of the World Heritage Committee CONF 016 VI.18-20
19. "(...)
(e) States Parties may propose in a single nomination a series of cultural properties in different geographical locations, provided that they are related because they belong : (i) to the same historico | 2,201 |
You might think this only works with people who have disposable income – surely somebody in poverty wouldn't be happier if they spent it on somebody else.
Regardless of income or wealth, the effect is the same – spending money on others will make you happier, while buying something for yourself will do nothing for your happiness.
Note: This article refers to buying physical (or digital) goods. If you spend money on experiences for yourself, you will actually make yourself happier. See my article about this here to find out more on this topic.
Look at the map on the right. Countries that are green show a positive correlation (donating to charity makes people in these countries happier), and those that are red (pretty much just one: The Central African Republic) show a negative correlation. The trend is clear as glass: Happiness as a result of giving is a universally human condition, not one that is limited to wealthy countries.
Sometimes you give something to somebody and they never return the favor. That's fine, and should be left that way. After all, you already received happiness out of the transaction.
Other times, though, you receive something in return right away. It could happen right after your gift (bake a cake, for no reason, for your spouse, and you might find immediate reward) or delayed (bring donuts into the office every week, then, 10 years later, after you've started your own company, you might end up pitching the colleague who ate one of your apple fritters every week).
I haven't found any research to back this up, but whenever I give to somebody I also feel a bit of a confidence boost. My wife says the same thing. It feels good to give, and can make you feel like your making the world a bit better of a place to live for others.
Now you know: Giving makes you happier. Unfortunately, like anything in life, just knowing something doesn't make you any more likely to actually do it.
Do what works for you. I'm a productivity and list-making geek, so I make recurring reminders for myself that 'ding' my phone occasionally to do something nice or buy a small gift for<|fim_middle|>. Don't just do whatever anybody tells you to do and rationalize it as 'giving.' That isn't giving, that's being a people pleaser and allowing other people to set your agenda and priorities.
Do your good deeds on your own terms – not somebody else's.
Start today by giving something to somebody. Jump onto Amazon and order something meaningful for a friend, or stop by the flower shop on the way home for your wife. See what happens – I bet you'll feel the boost in happiness. | somebody. You may be more of a 'sticky notes on the refrigerator' type of person. It doesn't really matter what tool you use, as long as it works.
Your phone beeps you with a reminder: Do something nice or buy a small gift for somebody. But what do you do? What do you get? Who do you buy it for?
Giving is good, and can make you happier. As always, though, there is a balance you need to keep | 96 |
Just when you think NI can't possibly add more, Komplete 12 arrives with tonnes of useful sounds and a revamped Kontakt player.
Anyone who's recently had their email or bank website 'revamped and improved' will tell you that change isn't always for the better. Along with new features, layouts and graphic design eye candy, major updates can often sabotage long-favoured ways of working, make certain workflows harder to implement and altogether delete features that you thought were irreplaceable.
Audio software developers are by no means immune to the latter so it's always with a combination of excitement and trepidation that most of us embark on major updates to our mission-critical audio programs.
My version of Native Instruments' Komplete was getting pretty long in the tooth so I was happy to upgrade to the the newly-released Komplete 12 version and see what new sonic treats were in store. I chose the Ultimate version that includes some interesting new instruments and effects, as well as 20 expansion packs.
Native Instruments Komplete with its Kontakt sample player and instrument library system has been the biggest platform in this sector for many years. NI's reputation for rock-solid coding, the wide variety of great sounding instruments and large field of third-party sound library partners means any upgrade needs to be carefully implemented, and the company errs on the conservative side in terms of tweaks to its basic platform.
The new Kontakt 6 player is a subtly enhanced continuation of previous versions and operates in more or less identical fashion while maintaining the old look. I'm totally fine with this lack of new bells and whistles although the ongoing lack of a GUI re-sizing option will irritate some. While the complexity of new instruments requires ever greater processing power, Kontakt 6 has maintained quick load times and efficient DSP usage. There are improvements to routing and modulation set-ups, new time-stretching and pitch shifting algorithms and the player now offers a total of 92 built-in effects modules — enough to keep even the twitchiest sonic tweaker happy.
Under the hood, new features for instrument builders include a tasty set of delay, reverb and wah effects modules as well as a wavetable synthesis module, script debugging and an Instrument Editor, which can load and run Lua scripts to automap samples, duplicate and batch rename groups, and copy settings from one part of an instrument to another.
Komplete 12 Ultimate is NI's upper-mid level package and comes with a pretty epic array of sounds and effects. I'll focus on the new offerings here but it's worth noting that all my old favourites in the basic Kontakt Factory Library have survived here as well as key stand-alone compositional, sonic and beatmaking instruments such as Reaktor, Absynth, Guitar Rig, FM8, Battery and Massive. On a slightly odd note for a major upgrade, the new Massive X will not be available till February 2019 and will be a free download for Komplete 12 owners… hopefully it'll be worth the extra wait.
As well as new sample instruments and sound generators there are some new faces in the plug-in effects racks, namely the Mod and Crush Pack effects series. The Mod Pack consist of the Replika XT [fig-1] delay and three modulation plugs (Phasis, Flair [fig-2] and Choral) that offer a pandora's box of swirling phase, chorus, flange and vibrato effects. The Crush Pack features Dirt, a classic two-stage stomp box-style distortion effect. Bit crushing and digital mangling are taken good care of by Bite, while Freak [fig-3] offers a range of extreme modulation and frequency shifting effects. All these effects deliver a great degree of tweakability and many sonic possibilities. I find the NI stand-alone plugs to be extremely useful and these are no exception with some really tasty sounds on offer.
The suite of audio plug-ins that come with Komplete 12 Ultimate includes EQ, dynamics, reverb, modulation and drive/saturation plugs and they are quite a formidable set of quality tools for mixing. This probably gets overlooked a little in general discussions about the Komplete packages and is certainly something to bear in mind if you're considering delving into the NI world for the first time.
Amongst the other headliners for the Komplete 12 release are the three new wavetable-based instruments. These all use a simple visual interface that utilises well-curated presets and the ability to blend sounds together in a basic A+B layout. Analogue Dreams delivers pads, leads, basses and percussive tones with a distinct '80s tinged flavour. Ethereal Earth [fig-4] offers synthetic flutes, gongs and other world-music instruments which have undergone various kinds of digital transformation. These sounds can veer into soundtrack territory and the combination of earthy mids and glassy digital highs is quite effective. Hybrid Keys [fig-5] explores non-standard tonalities based on various acoustic, electric and toy pianos and keyboards and is again an interesting and very playable instrument. These three new instruments do a very good job of offering new sounds that feel distinctly modern yet vaguely familiar, while keeping the interface deceptively simple. Expect to hear these new sounds in a lot of film and tv compositions in the next few years as well as on a wide variety of contemporary music styles.
String arrangers, beat makers, and keyboardists who want to make guitar sounds won't feel left out either. [fig-6] Session Pro Strings 2 offers a well articulated 22-piece orchestra with the interface weighted towards rhythmic and melodic phrase looping. There's a lot of rhythmic options on hand and it's quite a deep toolset allowing the quick assembly of driving rhythmic beds and complex arpeggios. This is a great tool<|fim_middle|>-7] is the latest in NI's quickly growing guitar and bass sample instrument stable and offers electric guitar sounds that range from clean country to indie grit to full tilt metal. A bit like Session Strings Pro, there is a deep library of tempo-synced picking patterns to flesh out a rhythm track and get fresh ideas going. There's a wide range of tweakability here with a lot of control over amp settings, pickup selection and mic placement to keep you busy. Who knew playing electric guitar on a keyboard could be so fun!
The new Scarabee Rickenbacker Bass is also worth a mention, giving MIDI-based programmers another classic electric bass option alongside the existing Komplete bass offerings.
Thrill [fig-8] also deserves a mention for its kooky X/Y interface and excellent range of atonal and downright scary sounds. Low-budget horror sound designers and soundtrack composers will drool over this, and a little Thrill dropped in under a crescendo definitely raises the stakes in many a musical context. Simply grab your X/Y marker and move it around to explore various blends of orchestral, digital and ambient textures and atonalities. 'Playing' the marker is a quick and easy way to generate atmospheric dynamics that would otherwise take hours to build and orchestrate.
The bottom line with the Komplete 12 release is that it continues a slow and steady build of instruments and features. There's no jaw dropping new look or methodology but the sheer quality and range of sounds and sound engines remains the star attraction. From organic and digital drum kits, exotic world instruments through orchestral samples to retro keys, sampled acoustic and electric guitars, horror soundscapes and bleeding edge digital synths there is something for everyone. While the Komplete universe continues to grow, the basic nuts and bolts of the sample player and library system remain rock-solid and the addition of quick and easy animator modes in many of these instruments helps keep Native Instrument's platform at the forefront of modern DAW-based music making technology.
With version 12 comes a 'kompletely' new addition, The Collector's Edition. In Komplete 12 Ultimate, you get the Symphony Essentials collection, which gives you amazingly detailed string, brass and woodwind ensembles; solo brass and woodwind; and percussion. Each comes with a pre-mixed stereo output. The Symphony Series in the Collector's Edition gives you full control over the Close, Mid and Far mic samples. There are a number of differences between the Symphony Essentials and Symphony Series depending on the ensemble. The String Ensemble has an Auto Divisi system that automatically distributes notes between sections, and true polyphonic legato and portamento. Brass Ensemble greatly increases the number of available articulations, and time stretches long articulations. Percussion has more than double the amount of recorded instruments. | for creating pace and momentum in string arrangements and the sounds hit the spot nicely.
TRK-01 helps solve the problem of getting your kick and bass to play well together. It's a purpose-built drum and bass engine featuring two independent step sequencers that drive a plethora of kick and bass sounds. The interface offers quick and intuitive sequencing, sound dialling and modulation effects with big punchy bottom end results. This instrument excels at 808 and heavy synth bass-inspired beatmaking and will be at the heart of many a dance and electro track in the coming years.

On October 30th the Quad-Cities will be hopping with comic happenings.
To celebrate their 12th Anniversary, The Dragon will be having their 2nd annual mini-con.
The guest list for the in-store event is pretty great (it's like a mini comic-con; see<|fim_middle|> guys worked on the sometimes spooky/superheroey Pitt; Dale also worked on that Marvel book The Incredible Hulk).
There will be Halloween treats, and the stores annual Anniversary Sale. Parents are greatly encouraged to bring along some costumed little ones. For more details on the event visit the website or check them out on twitter @dragonguelph.
All that, plus the book launch for Scott Chantler's Two Generals.
Where: The J.A. McIntosh Armoury, 1 Valour Place, Cambridge, Ontario.
When: October 30th, starting at 7pm. Open House from 10am to 5pm.
It's been a long, long road, but the release of Two Generals is finally just around the corner. And it's getting a big kick-off with a book release party on October 30th at the J.A. McIntosh Armoury in Cambridge, Ontario, the headquarters of the former Highland Light Infantry of Canada (which is the regiment depicted in the book).
The Armoury will be holding an open house from 10am to 5pm that day, during which time the book will be on sale and I'll be there to sign them. This would be a great time for anyone interested in military history to come see the displays, take a look in the regimental museum and, of course, pick up a copy of Two Generals.
Then, starting at 7pm, the book release party begins upstairs in the Officers Mess. The Armoury is a historic building and the Officers Mess really hasn't changed since the First World War. It's very much where the story begins, so it's appropriate that the book will start its journey there, too. Books (and original art!) will be on sale throughout the evening, and lots of friends, family, and industry people will be on hand.
This event is free, and open to the public, so take a step backward in time and come help me celebrate the book's release by touring the regimental museum (which will still be open in the evening) and drinking in the same room that the officers of the HLI of C did. It's going to be a grand time!
Scott Chantler will also be having a Remembrance Day book launch for Two Generals at The Dragon, in conjunction with a Comics For Kids drawing workshop, all happening from 12 pm – 3pm on Saturday, November 13, 2010.

No one wants to go without heat in the cold.
With winter in full swing, this is no time to have your heater go out. While, sadly, many people are unable to heat their home throughout the winter, you don't have to join them.

While a heating service pro may be necessary in the case of damage or neglected maintenance, there are many steps you can take on your own to ensure your unit is working properly and stays in good shape for years to come.
While we often take them for granted, heaters keep us warm and safe during the cold winter months. Regularly inspecting your heating unit can ensure that you stay warm and save money on costly repairs in the long run.
If your heater is due for an inspection, get in touch with us for a professional check-up.

Keep reading for a closer look at what a regular heating service should include.
A good heater should keep your home warm–at a consistent temperature–through even the coldest of nights.
If your heater is doing unusual things like not maintaining a consistent temperature or making odd signs, it may be time to take a look.
Heaters are designed to maintain consistent temperatures, so one that's having trouble doing so may need to be serviced or repaired.
Strange noises are a bad sign too. Just like your car, you're probably used to the sound your heater makes. If something sounds off, it may be time for service.
It's also important to inspect your heating system for safety reasons. If your home has a gas furnace, carbon monoxide poisoning is a real danger if your unit has been neglected or is in disrepair.
While there are many steps you can take yourself, having a professional look over your heater could save you lots in the long run. Much like a good mechanic should be much more knowledgeable of how your car | 228 |
Ockenheim ist eine Ortsgemeinde und eine Ortschaft im Landkreis Mainz-Bingen in Rheinland-Pfalz. Sie gehört der Verbandsgemeinde Gau-Algesheim an.
Geographie
Der Weinort liegt in Rheinhessen ca. 5 Kilometer südöstlich von Bingen am Rhein. Der Binger Stadtteil Dromersheim grenzt südlich an Ockenheim. Östlich der Gemeinde liegt Gau-Algesheim.
Zu Ockenheim gehört auch die Wohnplätze Kloster Jakobsberg und Auf dem Steinbiegel.
Geschichte
Mittelalter
Die älteste erhaltene Erwähnung des Ortes stammt von 823. Im Hochmittelalter gehörten die meisten Flächen in Ockenheim Kloster Prüm, die Pfarrkirche jedoch dem St. Andreasstift in Köln. Ockenheim war seit spätestens 893 vorwiegend kurmainzisch. 1325 vertauschte das Kölner Stift seine Patronatsrechte u. a. in Ockenheim gegen Patronatsrechte des Mainzer Liebfrauenstifts (St. Maria ad Gradus in Mainz auch B.M.V., Mariengreden oder Maria ad gradus genannt) nahe Köln. Das Mainzer Liebfrauenstift hielt wesentliche Anteile am Grundbesitz des Ortes und sorgte im Gegenzug für die seelsorgerische Betreuung.
Frühe Neuzeit
Insbesondere nach dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg kam es seinen Pflichten in kaum einer Weise noch nach, so dass die Pfarrkirche – seit dem Frühmittelalter an der Stelle des heutigen Friedhofes – baufällig wurde und blieb. Der Mainzer Kurfürst ließ wie in<|fim_middle|>heim besteht aus 20 Ratsmitgliedern (zuvor waren es 16 Mitglieder, die Erhöhung ergab sich nach rheinland-pfälzischem Wahlrecht durch die steigende Einwohnerzahl), die bei der Kommunalwahl am 26. Mai 2019 in einer personalisierten Verhältniswahl gewählt wurden, und dem ehrenamtlichen Ortsbürgermeister als Vorsitzendem.
Die Sitzverteilung im Gemeinderat:
;BWO = Bürgerliche Wählergruppe Ockenheim e. V.
Bürgermeister
Ortsbürgermeister ist seit 2009 Arnold Müller (CDU). Bei der Kommunalwahl am 26. Mai 2019 wurde er mit einem Stimmenanteil von 80,97 % in seinem Amt bestätigt.
Gemeindepartnerschaften

Verkehr
Die Gemeinde ist verkehrsgünstig an der A 60 und nahe der A 61 gelegen. Die L420 (ehemals B41) durchquert den Ort.
Der Haltepunkt an der Bahnstrecke Gau Algesheim–Bad Kreuznach wurde 1996 wiedereröffnet, nachdem Ockenheim 1902 erstmals eine Bahnanbindung erhielt. Hier halten Züge der von Vlexx betriebenen Regionalbahn-Linie RB 33 zwischen Mainz und Idar-Oberstein. Ockenheim ist darüber hinaus in das Stadtbusnetz der Stadt Bingen am Rhein eingebunden.
Bildungseinrichtungen

Freizeit- und Sportanlagen
Das Sportgelände "Auf dem Kissel" wurde 1990 eingeweiht. Seither kamen unter anderen ein Sportlerheim, Tennisplätze, eine Grillhütte, ein Boulefeld und ein Beachvolleyballplatz hinzu.
Zusätzlich bietet Ockenheim sechs Classic-Bundeskegelbahnen.
2013 wurde der alte Tennenplatz auf dem Fußballfeld durch Kunstrasen ersetzt.

Ort in Rheinhessen
Ersterwähnung 835 | jedem Ort im nördlichen Rheinhessen einen Burgus errichten – in Ockenheim im Leger am heutigen Antoniuskapellchen/Beginn des Fahrradweges nach Gau-Algesheim. Der Ortskern verlagerte sich von dem Bereich der heutigen Gaulsheimer Straße ('Insel') mehr zur heutigen Bahnhof- und Alleestraße. Hier wurde im 17. Jahrhundert eine Marienkapelle erbaut, die die Ockenheimer als Ersatzkirche benutzten. Als die Kapelle zu klein wurde und vom Liebfrauenstift keine Unterstützung zu erwarten war, wurde die Marienkapelle vergrößert und zur Pfarrkirche (1774).
Neuzeit
Nach der Einnahme des linken Rheinufers durch französische Revolutionstruppen wurde die Region 1793 von Frankreich annektiert.
Verzögert durch die Koalitionskriege wurde die Annexion erst nach 1797 konsolidiert, Ockenheim gehörte ab 1798 zum Département Donnersberg und dem dortigen Kanton Bingen. Gerichtlich war im Bereich des Kantons für die Zivilgerichtsbarkeit das Friedensgericht Bingen zuständig, für die Angelegenheiten der freiwilligen Gerichtsbarkeit bestanden Notariate.
Aufgrund 1815 auf dem Wiener Kongress getroffener Vereinbarungen und eines 1816 zwischen dem Großherzogtum Hessen, Österreich und Preußen geschlossenen Staatsvertrags kam Rheinhessen, und damit auch Ockenheim, zum Großherzogtum Hessen, das dieses neu erworbene Gebiet als Provinz Rheinhessen organisierte. Nach der Auflösung der Kantone in der Provinz 1835 lag Ockenheim im neu errichteten Kreis Bingen.
Das bis dahin für Ockenheim zuständige Friedensgericht Bingen wurde 1879 aufgelöst und durch das Amtsgericht Bingen ersetzt.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg gehörte die Gemeinde zur französischen Besatzungszone und wurde 1946 Teil des neu gebildeten Landes Rheinland-Pfalz.
Durch die Erschließung neuer Wohngebiete und eines Gewerbegebietes wuchs der Ort und die ursprüngliche Siedlungsform Ockenheims wurde verändert. Die Einwohnerzahl wuchs von rund 1.450 Ende der 1960er-Jahre auf über 2.600 zum Jahresende 2018.

Q: Font family in pseudo element It seems Internet Explorer 8,9,10 uses here always the same (system) font. In fact Internet Explorer doesn't care about the font-family at all. The important thing is the combination<|fim_middle|>style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Is this a known bug? Can't find anything about it.
A: http://jsfiddle.net/KnfaW/
It seems to me that display: table-cell causes the problem.
User agents must ignore the following properties with :before and :after pseudo-elements: 'position', 'float', list properties, and table properties.
The :before and :after pseudo-elements elements allow values of the 'display' property as follows:
If the subject of the selector is a block-level element, allowed values are 'none', 'inline', 'block', and 'marker'. If the value of the 'display' has any other value, the pseudo-element will behave as if the value were 'block'.
If the subject of the selector is an inline-level element, allowed values are 'none' and 'inline'. If the value of the 'display' has any other value, the pseudo-element will behave as if the value were 'inline'.
W3C CSS2
So instead of display: table-cell use display: block. It will work as expected. IE's error handling may be buggy in this case as my opinion.
| of display:table-cell and :before or :after:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body > div {
display: table;

body > div > div:before {

You can sip on this Mango Lassi with Cardamom and Pistachio as a breakfast or Brunch or Lunch or Dinner. No Kidding. This can serve as either a protein packed delicious breakfast in the morning or a delicious dessert in a glass in the evenings.
This world-famous drink is filled with probiotic from the Greek yogurt, sweetened with juicy mangoes and fragrant with cardamom along with the nutty touch from pistachios. What else do you need, right?
And suddenly here<|fim_middle|> trader joe's mango in my freezer at all times. I've never paired it with pistachios but it sounds like a match made in heaven.
I love mango! This looks like something I would enjoy right now!
Love mango lassi. It's so delicious and simple to make !
Love how easy this is to make and such a yummy treat for the kids.
WOW!! Looking for a simple but decadent recipe to make for guests this week.
Thanks. Will pin and make this one — and I am counting on a delicious outcome!!! | in Northern California it's a shorts and tank top weather. Can you believe it? We are not even one week into February and the Sun is way too bright. Sorry, God Sun…, your brightness is not really welcome. We need to have foggy, chilly days in February with showers here and then…, certainly not an overly bright sun smiling down on us. I'm just not ready to pack off my sweaters, flannel pjs and boots yet.
Anyways, since the weather warmed up and suddenly it was an ice cream and popsicle kinda weekend.., I had this huge Mango Lassi craving. Like a sudden got-to-have-it now kinda craving. I had frozen mangoes (I usually freeze fresh fruits when they are abundantly available), I had Greek honey yogurt and I certainly had pistachios and cardamom handy. I dumped everything in my Vitamix and gave it a good blend. Within seconds and with less than 5 ingredients, my delicious Mango Lassi with Cardamom and Pistachio was ready.
If you love your mangoes fresh or frozen.., there are a few other awesome recipes you must check out. Like, a refreshing and healthy smoothie Mango-Strawberry-Turmeric Smoothie made with mangoes, strawberry and a bit of turmeric. Oozing with healthy nutrients. If you want some thing for those girls night outs or a BBQ at your place, you must try Stirred Mango Margarita. This will definitely kick up a lot of fun conversations.
Now coming back to the Mango Lassi with Cardamom and Pistachio, you It tastes great without any addition of nuts as well. You seriously gotta try it to believe me.
Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a blender.
Puree until smooth. Serve immediately!
My go-to drink in summer!
I am not a big pistachio person, but this looks refreshing! And seems easy to make!
I can't wait for it to warm up so I can drink nice cool and refreshing drinks by the pool and on the beach.
Yum, this sounds like a tasty drink. I don't think I've ever tried something like this.
My friend is obsessed with mango lassies. I should give her this recipe to try.
This is going to be my favorite!
Damn, my mouth is watery. I love both mango and pistachio. I have to make this so bad.
I love this Mango Lassi with Cardamom and Pistachio recipe. Seems very easy to do!
I've never tried Lassi before, so this is really interesting. I love that mango is one of the top ingredients since that's a favorite of mine! I'm sure this tastes amazing!
What vibrant yellow colors, love it! Need a splash of color in winter to keep the spirits high. Mango Lassi with Cardamom and Pistachio looks delish, definitely need to try this at home.
Just in time that we have lots of mangoes here. Also, my aunt who's from Canada brought some pistachios as they are not produced locally here. Gotta try this now.
Oh Wow! This looks and sound delish! I want one right now.
I would never think to mix mango with pistachio. This looks super good! Thanks for the new recipe.
I love both mangoes and pistachios so this sounds amazing! I will have to try a dairy-free version since I'm sensitive to lactose, though.
Mango is one of my favorite fruits, so creamy and sweet. I have to try this out!!
This looks and sounds wonderful. I'm never t a huge fan of mango but I think I would like this combination a lot. Your pictures definitely make me want one.
I never had Cardamom before. My mom would love this mango is her fav fruit.
Yuuuum! This sounds so, so good. I love mango anything!
I love mango lassi.It is always one of my favourites from any restaurant.Thanks for this recipe.Also,the photos look so amazing!
Wow! This looks so delicious! I literally love everything mango! Surely gonna try it this summer!
My sons would love this!! Mango + Yogurt, hard to beat!
I love lassi. So delicious! And mango sounds like a wonderful flavor for it!
Mango lassi is one of my favourite drinks! Thank you for the recipe.
Oh, this really reminds me of my holiday in Thailand. On a hot summer night, we would often order a mango lassi at our favourite Indian joint there. I'll have to make it at home one of these days.
Yum this looks so awesome and refreshing! We've been getting the best juiciest mangos lately, so I definitely need to try this out!
Thank you so much Irena.
Oh yum! I love mango lassi's! Your version sounds so lovely with the added cardamom and pistachios.
What a beautiful lassi! I love these in the summer time, so sweet and refreshing!

Öland-klass eller Jagare typ Öland var en typ av jagare tillhörande den svenska marinen. Klassen bestod av två fartyg som togs i tjänst år 1947 och utrangerades år 1978 respektive 1979.
Bakgrund
Under världskriget gick utvecklingen mot allt större jagare<|fim_middle|>ändska jagare utarbetades ritningar och specifikationer för den nya jagarklassen, och offerter erhölls från flera varv. De stora varven i Göteborg var emellertid inte aktuella då dessa hade fått uppdraget att bygga kryssarna och . Det lägsta priset för byggnationen av jagarna kom ifrån Oskarshamns varv. Marinförvaltningen gjorde dock bedömningen att offerten inte var rimlig, och tecknade istället kontrakt med Kockums i Malmö för den ena jagaren, och med Karlskronavarvet för den andra.
Utformning
Skrov
Fartygens var 111,8 meter långa och hade dubbelskrov för att öka säkerheten vid skrovskador. Vid projekteringen övervägde man att utforma skrovet med back, ett upphöjt fördäck, detta kom dock inte att bli verklighet. Skroven var helsvetsade med undantag för pansarplåten kring maskinutrymmena som nitades. På grund av sin storlek och skrovform var Öland-klassen mycket stabilare än tidigare svenska jagartyper. Under projekteringen befarade man rentav att fartygen skulle bli alltför stabila och därmed få ryckiga rörelser i sjögång. Den stora tyngden från bland annat pansaret i bordläggningen gjorde dock att så inte blev fallet.

A SHORT NARRATIVE
Charles Jencks - A short narrative of related ideas
Post-Modernism Charles Jencks has held simultaneous jobs over his seventy-plus years: architectural critic and historian, cultural theorist, designer of cosmic landscapes, co-founder of the Maggie's Cancer Care Centres, and what he is best known for - becoming the protagonist and definer of Post-Modernism.
Combining opposite roles is itself a goal of the postmodern agenda, and Jencks was one of the first to define it positively as an umbrella movement. This primary definition occured because architecture, like opera, is a hybrid artform, necessarily mixing fast-changing technologies and slow-changing values. It is the perfect subject to Charles Jencks onfront the problems of modernity, and thus the nascent movement helped lead worldwide shifts in the other arts and sciences. Every field soon adopted pluralist approach and, in a globalised world, defined its particular version of the new philosophy - under such rubrics as "postmodern dance" and "complexity science." Not since the modern world view was adopted centuries ago has such a seismic shift occured, and it continues to fluctuate in fortune along with its parent, modernity.
Born in Baltimore Maryland on June 21st, 1939, Charles Alexander Jencks followed his parents – the composer Gardner Platt Jencks and Ruth DeWitt Pearl – to Connecticut and Cape Cod. Summers in this idyllic refuge of dissident artists and intellectuals had a strong influence on his outlook. After getting degrees at Harvard, in English literature and architecture, he moved to the UK in 1965 where he has lived ever since. In 1970 Jencks received a PhD in architectural history, studying under the radical modernist Reyner Banham, from whom he learned much especially how to enjoy disagreements. The fruits of this confrontation turned into his pluralist critique of the reigning dogma, Modern Movements in Architecture,<|fim_middle|> in southwest Scotland. This project developed for Richard Buccleuch, along with scientists, artists, Charles' co-worker Alistair Clark, opened in 2015. It remains a site where every summer new cosmic installations and performances take place. Galaxies and black holes are celebrated by landforms and local red sandstone. The mythic center of the earth is an Omphalos of boulders; several agencies that affect life – such as the Solar Flare-Earth Shield – are dramatized. The multiverse carries forward ideas first developed in Jencks' Pluriverse (a chapter in Adhocism) where the plurality of the cosmos and the city is the theme.
Greater complexity, greater meaning? The story of the universe shows the evolution of ever-greater complexity punctuated by catastrophic setbacks and moments of devolution towards simplicity. This mixed message – benign at the large scale with gratuitous suffering at the small – is oxymoronic. It led Jencks to define the Postmodern Agenda in 1992 as 'tragic optimism,' and pursue a zigzag course of public and private work, the co-creation of cancer caring centres and the symbolic landscapes and architectures that have some explicit public meaning. His idea that greater meaning emerges over time assumes that positive evolution also entails greater sensitivity and organisation, more of the qualities that makes life worth living. The PIC (inscribed at the top of the Multiverse) is the principle of increasing complexity at work. The growth of many cultures, and the cultivation of better wine, are typical positives that do not deny their opposite, mass-cult and the proliferation of plonk. But they put the race to the bottom in perspective. Global culture may homogenise the landscape, but materialists cannot deny the continuous evolution over three billion years, that ever-more crystals and beautiful minerals have emerged and continue to do so. The Metaphysical Landscape, an exhibition of sculpture at Jupiter Artland 2011, presented the mixed world view. Jencks' later exhibit at the Merz Gallery, Sanquhar 2016 continued with this Metaphysical Realism, the idea of an art constrained by cosmic reality but still transcendent of nature and culture. The value of imagination and the imagination of values see to that. | published by Penguin books 1973, which became a best-selling textbook for fifteen years. It criticised the suppression of the outlying modernists – the Expressionists, Constructivists, Organicists who did not fit the party line – and showed how Modernists had collaborated with Vichy, Mussolini and Hitler. In short, the book revealed the dark sides of Modernism without either supporting a return to the past or a single style.
This 'criticism from within' led directly to Jencks' The Language of Post-Modern Architecture, 1977, and seven later editions continuing into the 21st century. The new PM movement was defined as based on pluralism and hybridity, combining opposite codes of architecture that could adequately express the contradictory requirements and tastes of a global society. It was defined variously as 'the loyal opposition to modernism', 'the continuation of Modernism and its transcendence,' and 'the double-coding of modernism with other codes' – or, in 2007,
'Critical Modernism,' the fifth edition of his What is Post-Modernism?
Complexity science, first mooted in the 1960s by Jane Jacobs, Rachel Carson and Robert Venturi, became in the 1980s at the Sante Fe Institute, the intellectual foundation of what they predicted as 'the sciences of the 21st century.' These nonlinear sciences touched all aspects of life, and self-organising systems, a perfect foil to the modernist sciences of simplicity stemming from Descartes, Newton and Darwin. Chaos science, fractals, and present-day cosmology all derive from this new paradigm. It was summarised in Jencks' the Architecture of the Jumping Universe, 1995, the title which expresses the dynamic and emergent world view of a self-organising cosmos. By the late 1990s it had become the orientation of many creative disciplines.
Jencks' own designs experiment with these ideas, as a provocation to a developing Post-Modern tradition. First was his studio in the woods, a cheap mass-produced garage structure of $5,000 – titled polemically The Garagia Rotunda, where he spent part of the summers with his family. The ad hoc use of readymade materials, and a basic garage, meant that the savings could be used on symbolic ornament: such things as the one-inch rotunda, the eleven shades of blue that bring out the Cape Cod landscape and metaphors of the body. His polemical text with Nathan Silver defined Adhocism – the Case for Improvisation in 1971 and 2013. Adhocism became one of the several strands of Post-Modernism that waxed and waned, as it has done over the centuries.
The question of expressing content in contemporary life was one of the pressing issues of the 1960s: who is the ultimate user of architecture; what values should be crystallised in architecture, above all what is public architecture to represent? These issues were addressed in Meaning in Architecture, 1969, co-edited with George Baird, a hypertext of leading architects and theorists commenting on each other's texts. This was followed by other anthologies on semiotics, the theory of signs. Then Jencks' Towards a Symbolic Architecture, 1985, focussed on today's agnosticism and neutrality and how they led to a pervasive abstraction and architectural malapropism. His London house, designed with Maggie Keswick and a host of Postmodern architects including Terry Farrell and Michael Graves, was based on explicit and implicit signs and symbols. They referred to cosmic meanings that remain eternal – black holes and whirlpool galaxies – or to local nature, the sun, the moon and changing seasons. And they depicted self-organising patterns that might become the iconology for a Post-Christian architecture, rather than the gratuitous ornament being tacked onto buildings, or the empty neutrality, the default mode of so much Modernism.
Three years later Jencks switched to landscape design as a site for symbolic exploration, particularly the hybrid landforms that mix sculpture and epigraphy. The great outdoors became the focus for symbolism when Maggie asked Charles to design in the family home and garden in Scotland. The result in 2003, after many vicissitudes, was The Garden Of Cosmic Speculation, a series of twenty areas designed around various metaphors such as the DNA garden, Quark Walk, Fractal terrace and Comet Bridge. A "landscape of waves" was the underlying grammar that pulled the landforms and planting together, the idea that wave-forms were just as significant as particle-forms, the latter which had dominated Modernist physics since Isaac Newton, and architecture since Le Corbusier. Further hybrid landforms and symbolic sculptures were built in Edinburgh, Milan, Long Island, Cambridge, Suncheon South Korea (with Lily Jencks), and other countries, some of which was published in The Universe in The Landscape, 2011. Writing and design informed each other.
After Maggie died in 1995, Jencks helped co-found and further the Maggie Cancer Caring Centres, twenty of which were built in twenty years. Architects who had become friends were asked in the first instance to design these small havens, close to a mega-NHS-hospital. Complementing the primary with secondary therapies, these Centres grew out of Maggie and Charles' experience with cancer, the idea of self-help guided by professionals – and changes in lifestyle that could extend life and improve the quality of living with cancer. Above all was the idea that cancer needs the care of a friend, a relation or attentive companion, someone that can help you navigate the difficult route through over-choice and pain. Major architects took up the challenge, and produced strikingly different icons to the same programme, a demonstration of the pluralist paradigm.
By the year 2000 a conjecture became current among scientists that we inhabit a Multiverse, an ensemble of universes. This speculation explains a lot, is reinforced by theories such as inflation and some evidence. It presumes that the parameters and laws are set slightly differently, as one universe grows from another, illuminating why ours is so miraculously fine-tuned for life and basic qualities. From 2010, Jencks started work on The Crawick Multiverse, a fifty-five acre site | 1,329 |
\section{Introduction}
The phenomenology related to the deconfinement phase transition from hadronic matter to quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at high enough temperatures or densities is a very active field of research since the beginnings of QCD, with pioneering works such as Refs.~\cite{coll75,shur80}. Much effort is devoted to understand the QGP on the experimental side: The QCD matter is or will be studied in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC, SPS, FAIR, and the LHC (see Refs.~\cite{ente,fair} for more information). On the theoretical side, the QGP is also a challenging topic, which has deserved lots of studies within several frameworks. In particular, phenomenological quasiparticle models and more fundamental approaches like perturbative calculations or AdS/CFT duality have proved to be successful both in reproducing lattice data and in providing a reliable description of experimentally observed results at RHIC, see \textit{e.g.} Refs.~\cite{peshier,pertu,panero} for some recent results and Refs.~\cite{rev1} for some reviews on the topic.
Lattice QCD has a particular status since it is, in principle, the most powerful technique to extract nonperturbative informations from QCD. When experimental data are lacking, lattice data are then often used to fit other model's parameters. A crucial observable in QGP physics that can be computed in lattice QCD is the QCD equation of state (EoS). In particular, the EoS of pure glue SU(3) QCD has been computed on the lattice more than a decade ago~\cite{boyd95}, while more detailed data have recently been obtained in Ref.~\cite{panero} with gauge groups ranging from SU(3) to SU(8). Many other calculations of the QCD EoS have also been performed including quarks flavors, at zero chemical potential or not. The interested reader will find more references in \textit{e.g.} the review~\cite{rev2}.
Among the various existing phenomenological approaches, quasiparticle models rely on the assumption that the QGP can be seen as a gas of deconfined quarks and gluons. Since pioneering works~\cite{golo}, they have<|fim_middle|> should increase accordingly. Notice that such a constant mass is expected from calculations relying on effective low-energy Lagrangians~\cite{lowe}. It is moreover shown in Ref.~\cite{suga3} that the pole mass, $m_g(T)$, and the Breit-Wigner mass, $\bar m_g(T)$, and thermal width, $\Gamma_g(T)$, are linked as follows:
\begin{subequations}\label{mfit}
\begin{equation}\label{glum}
m_g(T)\approx \bar m_g(T)-2T+\sqrt{4T^2-\Gamma_g(T)^2}.
\end{equation}
\begin{figure}[t]
\includegraphics*[width=8.0cm]{Fig1.ps}
\caption{Scalar and tensor glueball masses computed through a pole-mass fit in Ref.~\cite{suga3} (symbols), compared to a fit of the form~(\ref{mfit}) with (in units of $T_c$) $T_{0^{++}}=0.596$, $m^0_{0^{++}}=5.547$, $b_{0^{++}}=4.230$, $T_{2^{++}}=0.755$, $m^0_{2^{++}}=8.113$, and $b_{2^{++}}=7.152$. A standard value $T_c=265$~MeV is used.}
\label{fig1}
\end{figure}
As shown in Fig.~\ref{fig1}, the pole masses computed in Ref.~\cite{suga3} are well described below $T_c$ by the form (\ref{glum}) with
\begin{align}
\bar m_g(T)&=m^0_g, \nonumber\\
\Gamma_g(T)&=0 & T\leq T_g\nonumber\\
&=b_g\, (T-T_g)& T_g<T<T_c.
\end{align}
\end{subequations}
Such an ansatz qualitatively encodes the results of the Breit-Wigner fit performed in Ref.~\cite{suga3
. Remark that the thermal broadening of the glueballs generates a pole-mass reduction; interestingly such a glueball mass reduction near the phase transition has also been predicted by computations within the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory~\cite{suga4}. We point out that the value $T_c=265$~MeV will be assumed in the rest of this paper; it lies in the typical range $260-280$~MeV found in pure glue QCD.
\section{Glueball gas pressure}\label{glupres}
As said in Sec.~\ref{ggm}, we assume the interactions between glueballs to be negligible in a first approximation. The pressure of an noninteracting gas of glueballs with mass $m_g$ and spin $J_g$ simply corresponds to that of an ideal Bose-Einstein gas~\cite{wal}
\begin{equation}\label{press}
p_g=-\frac{(2J_g+1)T}{2\pi^2}\int^\infty_0dk\, k^2 \ln\left(1-{\rm e}^{-\sqrt{k^2+m_g^2}/T}\right).
\end{equation}
Such a framework is the most straightforward way to deal with a boson gas. However, Eq.~(\ref{press}) shows that only the glueball masses appear in the computation of the EoS, and we have seen in the previous section that the increasing thermal width should also be taken into account. Rigorously, one would thus need a statistical formalism not only generalizing the Bose-Einstein distribution to the case of unstable particles, as done first in~\cite{weldon}, but also explicitly including the interactions between glueballs, since an increasing width should enhance those interactions. Such a formalism is out of the scope of the present paper, which should be seen as a first step towards an alternative way of understanding the pure glue EoS below $T_c$. That is why two assumptions will be made in the following. First, we still choose to neglect the interactions between glueballs. As discussed in the introduction, large-$N_c$ arguments might be relevant to justify that point. Second, we consider that the nonzero-width effects can be absorbed into a redefinition of the glueball masses. Indeed, we have shown in the previous section that a glueball with a constant mass and an increasing thermal decay width can be described effectively as a glueball with a zero width and a decreasing pole mass. That is why the pole mass $m_g(T)$ will be used hereafter. Notice that the second approximation is expected to be less and less accurate when approaching $T_c$ from below, since the ratio $\Gamma_g(T)/\bar m_g(T)$ is an increasing function of $T$. From~\cite{suga3} one can compute that $\Gamma_{0^{++}}(T_c)/\bar m_{0^{++}}\approx 0.34$ and $\Gamma_{2^{++}}(T_c)/\bar m_{2^{++}}\approx 0.25$, meaning that the glueball decay widths become significant with respect to their masses at the phase transition. Nevertheless one can reasonably think that our approach will be able to predict the global trend of the EoS near $T_c$.
Starting from Eqs.~(\ref{press}) in which $m_g=m_g(T)$ given by~(\ref{glum}), the pressure of the QCD matter below $T_c$ should then be given by $ p=\sum_g p_g$, the sum running over all the glueball states. But, since a Hagedorn spectrum is not assumed, only the lowest-lying glueballs will significantly contribute because the statistical suppression in $(2J_g+1){\rm e}^{-m_g/T}$ is not balanced by the exponentially rising number of states with respect to $m_g$. Moreover, the higher mass glueballs would contribute if $m_g/T$ was of order unity, but $m_g/T_c\gg 1$ even for the $0^{++}$ glueball. We thus take
\begin{equation}\label{press2}
p\approx p_{0^{++}}+p_{2^{++}}.
\end{equation}
\begin{figure}[t]
\includegraphics*[width=8.0cm]{Fig2.ps}
\caption{Pressure computed in pure glue SU(3) lattice QCD and normalized to the Stefan-Boltzmann factor $\kappa_{SB}=45/8\pi^2$, taken from Ref.~\cite{panero} (full circles). The lattice data are compared to Eq.~(\ref{press2}) using either $m_g=m_g^0$ (dashed line), $m_g=m_g(T)$ given by Eq.~(\ref{mfit}) (dotted line), and the full model in which the gluon condensate contribution (\ref{gluconpress}) is added (solid line).}
\label{fig2}
\end{figure}
Results obtained from this last equation are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig2} and compared to the lattice data of Ref.~\cite{panero}. The conclusions are the following. First, using a glueball gas with constant masses $m_g=m^0_g$ fails to reproduce the observed increase of pressure near $T_c$, even by taking lighter values than the fitted ones, given in Fig.~\ref{fig1}. Second, using the temperature-dependent masses, $m_g=m_g(T)$, fitted from Ref.~\cite{suga3}, greatly improves the agreement with lattice QCD and is a first argument in favor of the scenario proposed here. Remark that $p(T_c)$ is underestimated; we will show in the next section that the contribution coming from the gluon condensate is able to cure this problem. Another possibility could be that the higher-lying glueballs bring a significant contribution to the pressure. Provided that the mass reduction mechanism does not cause those glueballs to become lighter than the tensor one, it can be computed that the $0^{-+}$ contribution shifts the pressure of less than $7\%$ (the $0^{-+}$ state is the closest in mass of the $2^{++}$), while the heavier states contribution is even smaller. Thus only the scalar and tensor glueballs may be considered in a first approximation. It is worth mentioning the recent work~\cite{meng} suggesting that, indeed, the $0^{-+}$ glueball remains heavier than the tensor one.
\section{Gluon condensate contribution}\label{gcta}
The next step is now the computation of the trace anomaly, \textit{a priori} straightforwardly defined from the pressure~(\ref{press2}) by
\begin{equation}\label{ta}
\bar\Delta=T^5\partial_T\left(\frac{p}{T^4}\right).
\end{equation}
A look at Fig.~\ref{fig3} clearly shows that our model with $m_g(T)$, although satisfactorily reproducing the lattice pressure, severely underestimates the trace anomaly near the phase transition. This seemingly paradoxical situation can be clarified as follows: When speaking of the trace anomaly, the nontrivial role of the gluon condensate has to be taken into account. That argument has already been proposed when studying the QCD matter at $T>1.2\, T_c$~\cite{castorina}. Let us now apply it below $T_c$.
It is known that the gluon condensate at temperature $T$, defined by $\left\langle G^2\right\rangle_T=-\left\langle \frac{\beta}{g}G^a_{\mu\nu}G^{\mu\nu}_a(T)\right\rangle$, contributes to the QCD trace anomaly as $\Delta_{G^2}=\left\langle G^2\right\rangle_0-\left\langle G^2\right\rangle_T$~\cite{castorina,leut}. Thus the total trace anomaly, $\Delta$, should rather be
\begin{equation}\label{ta2}
\Delta=\bar\Delta+\Delta_{G^2}.
\end{equation}
The gluon condensate can moreover be written as the sum of a magnetic and an electric part, \textit{i.e.} $\left\langle G^2\right\rangle_T=\left\langle G^2_e\right\rangle_T+\left\langle G^2_m \right\rangle_T$ in euclidean space. It appears from lattice QCD simulations that $\left\langle G^2_m\right\rangle_T\approx\left\langle G^2_m\right\rangle_0$ on one hand, and that $\left\langle G^2_e\right\rangle_T$ is such $\left\langle G^2_e\right\rangle_0\approx\left\langle G^2\right\rangle_0/2$ but then falls very quickly near $T_c$ to reach a zero value just after the phase transition~\cite{delia}. Consequently, one expects~\cite{castorina}
\begin{eqnarray}\label{ta3}
\Delta_{G^2}&=&\frac{\left\langle G^2\right\rangle_0}{2}\left[1-c_e(T)\right],\ {\rm where}\ c_e(T)=\frac{\left\langle G^2_e\right\rangle_T}{\left\langle G^2_e\right\rangle_0}
\end{eqnarray}
can be known from lattice computations~\cite{delia}.
\begin{figure}[t]
\includegraphics*[width=8.0cm]{Fig3.ps}
\caption{Same as Fig.~\ref{fig2} for the trace anomaly. The dashed line is the glueball contribution~(\ref{ta}), while the solid line comes from Eq.~(\ref{ta2}), where $\Delta_{G^2}=\tilde\Delta_{G^2}$ following Eq.~(\ref{ta4}).}
\label{fig3}
\end{figure}
Since $c_e(T)$ is only known at a few temperatures from the lattice (see Fig.~\ref{fig4}), it would not be convenient to use the available data as an input in our model. Rather, it is better to compute first the values of $\Delta_{G^2}$ that fit the trace anomaly obtained in Ref.~\cite{panero} and then to check whether they agree or not with the results of Ref.~\cite{delia}. The values needed to fit the trace anomaly computed in Ref.~\cite{panero} is very accurately fitted by the form
\begin{subequations}\label{ta4}
\begin{eqnarray}
\tilde\Delta_{G^2}&=&f_1\, T^4_c\frac{T}{T_c}\left[\frac{T}{T_c}-f_2\right]\times\nonumber\\&& \left[1-\frac{1}{\left(1+{\rm e}^{(T/T_c-f_3)/f_4}\right)^2}\right]\ \ T\geq 0.9\, T_c,\nonumber\\
&=&0\hspace{4.2cm} T<0.9\, T_c,
\end{eqnarray}
with
\begin{equation}
f_1=6.171,\, f_2=0.637,\, f_3=1.013,\, f_4=0.015.
\end{equation}
\end{subequations}
As shown in Fig.~\ref{fig3}, the trace anomaly~(\ref{ta2}) computed with $\Delta_{G^2}=\tilde\Delta_{G^2}$ fits the lattice data very well -- it is logical since it has been designed for. The key observation is now that, in Fig.~\ref{fig4}, the fitted term~(\ref{ta4}) is in good agreement with that obtained by putting the values of $c_e(T)$ available from the lattice study~\cite{delia} in the theoretical estimate~(\ref{ta3}). A typical value $\left\langle G^2\right\rangle_0=$0.030~GeV$^4$ has been used as a mean value of various results obtained so far in the literature~\cite{rakow}. Such an agreement between the needed value of the gluon condensate and the one theoretically expected is a relevant check of the mechanism presented here describing the phase transition.
\begin{figure}[t]
\includegraphics*[width=8.0cm]{Fig4.ps}
\caption{Trace anomaly contribution $\tilde\Delta_{G^2}$ needed to fit the lattice data presented in Fig.~\ref{fig3} (solid line). The curve agrees with formula~(\ref{ta3}) in which $c_e(T)$ has been taken from the lattice study~\cite{delia}, together with the typical value $\left\langle G^2\right\rangle_0=$0.030~GeV$^4=$6.08$\, T_c^4$ (full circles).}
\label{fig4}
\end{figure}
The coherence of our scenario requires the gluon condensate contribution to the pressure to be computed from the thermodynamical relation~(\ref{ta}) and then to be added to the glueballs pressure $p$. One has
\begin{equation}\label{gluconpress}
p_{G^2}=T^4\int^T_{0}\frac{\tilde\Delta_{G^2}(x)}{x^5}\, dx,
\end{equation}
and the total pressure finally reads
\begin{equation}\label{ptot}
p=p_{0^{++}}+p_{2^{++}}+p_{G^2}.
\end{equation}
It is readily observed in Fig.~\ref{fig2} that, near $T_c$, the total pressure~(\ref{ptot}) reaches an excellent agreement with the lattice data. In particular, the pressure in $T=T_c$ is no longer underestimated.
Since in Ref.~\cite{panero}, to which our model is compared, the energy density as well as the entropy density are obtained as linear combinations of the pressure and trace anomaly following standard thermodynamics, it is enough for our purpose to have considered $p$ and $\Delta$. We nevertheless mention for completeness that the entropy density, $s=\partial_T p$, has been independently computed on the lattice in Ref.~\cite{meyer} between 0.7$\, T_c$ and $T_c$. The present model actually overestimates the dimensionless ratio $s/T^3$ obtained in this last work, especially near $T_c$. We hope that more lattice data concerning the QCD EoS below $T_c$ will be available in the future in order to refine our model and perform a more quantitative comparison with the different lattice results.
\section{Large $N_c$ limit}
Some remarks can be done about the large-$N_c$ limit of our model, that has not been considered up to now. By definition, $\kappa_{SB}\propto 1/(N^2_c-1)$. Above $T_c$, the dominant contribution to the equation of state should come from deconfined gluons, whose $(N^2_c-1)$ color degrees of freedom cancel the $\kappa_{SB}$ factor, leading to globally constant thermodynamical properties with respect to $N_c$ as observed in Ref.~\cite{panero}. Below $T_c$ however, all glueballs are in a color singlet and their mass scales as $N_c^0=O(1)$. The glueballs contribution to the EoS normalized according to $\kappa_{SB}$ should thus tend to zero at large $N_c$. But, since the gluon condensate scales as $(N^2_c-1)$, its thermodynamical contribution remains constant at large $N_c$. The trace anomaly and pressure at large $N_c$ are then expected to read $\Delta\approx \Delta_{G^2}$ and $p\approx p_{G^2}$ respectively in our model.
Following our scenario, the gluon condensate term is dominant in the trace anomaly but not in the pressure. Thus, we predict that the pressure below $T_c$ will be strongly suppressed at large $N_c$ as illustrated in Fig.~\ref{fig5}, while the trace anomaly will decrease only slightly. The results of Ref.~\cite{panero} suggest that the trace anomaly could be more and more peaked near $T_c$ at large $N_c$, leading to a phase transition which is more of first-order type, in qualitative agreement with what is expected from the present approach. Remark however that recently, a strong expansion of Yang-Mills theory at large $N_c$ has been proposed~\cite{lange}, in which the pressure is found to scale as $N_c^0$, with no $N_c^2$ term as in our model. It can be hoped that future studies of glueball and glueball condensate properties at finite-temperature and large $N_c$ will allow a more accurate validation of the ideas developed in this work.

\section{Conclusion}\label{conclu}
A new way of understanding the pure glue QCD equation of state below $T_c$ has been proposed. The basic idea is that the pure glue hadronic matter consists in both a glueball gas and a gluon condensate part. It can be intuitively expected that the thermal width of glueballs tends to increase when approaching the deconfinement phase transition. Such a behavior is effectively taken into account in our formalism through a decrease of the glueball masses near $T_c$. Moreover, that effect has to be combined with the vanishing of the gluon condensate at the critical temperature.
In order to illustrate qualitatively the proposed scenario, lattice data have been used as numerical inputs in the model: The glueball masses and the gluon condensate values have been taken from Refs.~\cite{suga1} and \cite{delia} respectively. Those data, when incorporated into computations, lead to an equation of state in good agreement with that computed in Ref.~\cite{panero}, thus providing an \textit{a posteriori} coherent interpretation of various independent existing results in finite-temperature QCD.
Remark that, although the agreement reached by our model and the lattice data is excellent, the present approach aims at being a first step towards a more complete model. Its weakness is mostly the way of including the glueball decay width, \textit{i.e.} by redefining the glueball masses without modifying the form of the Bose-Einstein distribution, which can be questionable very close to $T_c$ where the decay widths become significant with respect to the glueball masses. The elaboration of a more realistic approach is left for future works.
Finally, at large $N_c$, we predict a strong reduction and a weaker decrease of the pressure and trace anomaly below $T_c$ respectively. The present discussion suggests that new high-precision computations of glueballs and gluon condensate properties as well as of gluon plasma thermodynamics below $T_c$ might be worth in order to check the general scenario developed here and the suggested large-$N_c$ behavior in particular.

| been shown to be able to reproduce the various EoS computed in lattice QCD at $T\geq T_c$. It is thus tempting to apply such models below $T_c$. In that case however, the QCD matter should rather be modeled by a hadron gas since QCD it is in its confining phase. We focus here on the pure glue EoS below $T_c$, which already captures the essential physical features of the full QGP without involving extra technical difficulties due to the presence of quarks.
\section{Glueball gas model}\label{ggm}
The pure glue hadronic matter is expected to consist in glueballs and, since the scattering amplitudes between glueballs scales in $1/N_c^2$ (instead of $1/N_c$ for mesons), a noninteracting Bose gas may be assumed in a first approach. Following Bose-Einstein statistics, only the lowest-lying glueballs should bring a significant contribution to the EoS since the one of a glueball of mass $m_g$ and spin $J_g$ is roughly proportional to $(2J_g+1){\rm e}^{-m_g/T}$. However, by using typical values for the low-lying glueball masses~\cite{glus} in a hadron gas model, one fails to reproduce the strong increase of the thermodynamical variables near $T_c$, as already pointed out in Refs.~\cite{suga1,meyer}. To our knowledge, the only proposal leading to a model in agreement with the lattice EoS is the one of Ref.~\cite{meyer}, where a high-lying glueball spectrum of Hagedorn-type is assumed. The exponential growth of the number of states with mass $m_g$ then compensates the statistical suppression and brings a large enough contribution near $T_c$. It is also worth mentioning the recent Ref.~\cite{hage}, where it is shown that a Hagedorn-type model of the QGP is able to reproduce the trace anomaly computed in lattice QCD while ensuring a low viscosity/entropy ratio.
The Hagedorn spectrum relies on a string-theoretical picture of the hadron spectrum. In particular, following the ideas of Ref.~\cite{meyer}, one has to assume that glueballs are excitations of a closed string, which is not so obvious, partly in view of the many models reproducing the lattice spectrum at zero temperature by assuming totally different frameworks~\cite{revvin}. That is why it might be of interest to see whether an alternative way of understanding the early stages of the pure glue phase transition ($T\lesssim T_c$) can be found or not. This is the purpose of the present work, where it is chosen not to assume a Hagedorn glueball spectrum. Therefore, only the lightest glueballs, that all models find to be the scalar and tensor ones in pure glue QCD~\cite{revvin}, are assumed to bring a significant contribution to the EoS.
As it will be shown, two ingredients are needed. First, the nontrivial contribution of the gluon condensate to the trace anomaly, especially its brutal reduction near the phase transition. Remark that the strong link between the gluon condensate and the QCD phase transition have been previously outlined for example in Refs.~\cite{simonov}. Second, a significant reduction of the glueball masses near $T_c$. Since that point is the most counterintuitive one at first sight, let us analyze it first.
\section{Glueball mass reduction}\label{mred}
The behavior of glueballs at finite temperature has been first investigated on the lattice in Refs.~\cite{suga2,suga3}. The basic conclusion of those works is twofold, following the procedure used to analyze the results. On one hand, if the temporal glueball correlator is fitted assuming glueball states with zero width, then the $0^{++}$ and $2^{++}$ pole masses are found to significantly decrease for $T\lesssim T_c$. On the other hand, a Breit-Wigner fit can be applied to that correlator; then the glueball masses are found to be roughly constant from $T=0$ to $T_c$, with a thermal width which is nearly zero at low temperature but then increases rather linearly near $T_c$. That conclusion is quite intuitive and might be a general feature of glueballs near $T_c$: The glueballs should progressively be ``dissolved" in the medium when approaching the deconfinement temperature, and their width | 961 |
Pulmonary edema is the accumulation of fluids in the interstitium and alveoli of the lung. There are two main basic mechanisms for edema development: increased hydrostatic pressure in the lung capillaries ("high-pressure edema") and increase vascular permeability ("low-pressure edema). This classification helps understand the basic pathophysiological differences between the two types<|fim_middle|> patient well hydrated. | of pulmonary edema, but has limitations. Disruption of some orall layers of the alveolar-capillary unit occurs during elevated capillaryhydrostatic pressures, a phenomenon termed "pulmonary capillarystress failure". Pulmonary capillary stress failure represents a process thatblurs the distinction between high-pressure and low-pressurepulmonary edema, as the disruption of the alveolar-capillarymembrane by high hydrostatic pressures may render it more permeableto fluid and proteins. The resulting edema fluid has a higherconcentration of protein than would be expected in conventionalhigh-pressure pulmonary edema. These observations may explainsome features seem in high-altitude pulmonaryedema and neurogenic pulmonary edema.
High-pressure edema is usually secondary to left-sided congestive heart failure and many times called "cardiogenic pulmonary edema", whereas low-pressure pulmonary edema are termed "noncardiogenic". Fluid in noncardiogenic pulmonary has a higher concentration of proteins and the edema occurs with normal capillary wedge pressure. The increased vascular permeability can occur with a wide variety of pulmonary and systemic disorders including vasculitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, electric shock, neurogenic edema and uremic pneumonitis. Patients with pulmonary edema are usually presented with expiratory or mixed dyspnea with normal to increased lung sounds and presence of abnormal sounds (e.g.; crackles). Radiographs are helpful in the diagnosis and differentiation between cardiogenic and noncardiogenic edema based on the distribution of the edema.
The initial goals of therapy in cardiogenic pulmonary edema include increasing arterial PO2, reducing oxygen demand, establishing a diuresis, and unloading the ventricles while supporting blood pressure, tissue perfusion and renal function. Supplemental oxygen therapy and sedation are used as needed to reduce distress or air hunger. Pulmonary edema sufficient to cause respiratory failure and respiratory muscle fatigue is an indication for artificial ventilation. Diuresis is initiated and maintained with parenterally-administered furosemide. Nitroglycerin ointment can be used to decrease preload, whereas nitroprusside can be used to decrease afterload in dogs with florid pulmonary edema.
There is no specific pharmacological treatment for noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Diuretics are often ineffective and, despite widespread use, there is no evidence that corticosteroids are helpful. Support therapies include: controlling the causative factor, ventilatory support and maintaining the | 509 |

Plug in the pump and run the filter.
When replacing the impeller, you should also replace the O-ring. If the pump is old enough to require a new impeller, more than likely it needs a new O-ring, too. O-rings are inexpensive.
Check for pool pump leaks. If you detect a leak, tighten the bolts. | Power Flow LX pool pump can provide many years of trouble-free filtration. However, normal wear and tear in combination with age eventually causes internal parts to malfunction or require replacement. If the impeller on a Hayward Power Flow LX pool pump begins to fail, you have two options. You could buy a new pump or you can save money by replacing the impeller yourself.
Shut off the pool filter and unplug the Hayward pool pump.
Turn the hose valves to the "Off" position. If you have valves on your return hose and the skimmer hose, turn them to the "Off" position. If you don't have "On/Off" valves, plug both the skimmer and the return to prevent water from entering the pool filtration system.
Disconnect the skimmer hose from the Hayward Power Flow LX intake. The intake is located in front of the pump basket.
Remove the pool pump from the filter housing. To do this, loosen the connection between the pump's discharge and the filter housing's intake.
Separate the pump basket from the Hayward power flow LX pump assembly. The pump basket is connected to the rear motor assembly by eight hexagonal housing bolts. Loosen and remove the bolts to separate the pump basket from the rest of the pump assembly.
Locate the impeller. On the Power Flow LX pool pump, the impeller is located right behind the housing cover. Once you loosen the eight hex bolts and remove the housing cover, you'll have direct access to the impeller.
Open the back cover of the motor housing. Although you have full access to the impeller by removing the housing cover, you won't be able to unscrew the impeller, because turning the impeller also turns the motor shaft. The motor shaft must remain stationary in order to unscrew the impeller. Therefore, you have to access the shaft through the back of the motor. After you have removed the back cover of the motor, take a 7/16-inch wrench to hold the shaft in place while you unscrew the impeller.
Rotate the impeller counterclockwise to remove it. Once it's removed, replace it with the new impeller.

This portion of the lessons teaches you how to make sure your store is designed well.
One of the biggest reasons a customer abandons a store is because the design is confusing, hard to read, annoying, or disorganized. It makes you look unprofessional.
Believe it or not, I still find glaring broken links and other problems on websites that are actually making a million dollars a year. It's an easy thing to miss, but it can have a huge impact.
Things like all black backgrounds mess with people's eyes. They make the site tough to read. A plain, white background is best behind your products.
I wrote at length about this in my book in the year 2000, and it is still true today.
In this lesson, let's install the logo you created in the previous lesson so that we can brand the site effectively to get people thinking about your products.
You'll see "Themes" highlighted You'll see what your present theme looks like right now on the right side of the page. It even shows you<|fim_middle|> feel comfortable with what each section in a theme is, you'll be able to personalize your store even more then.
Step 2) Let's install a theme I've grown to like working with called "Supply." It has some easy to figure out elements in it. Your goal right now is to get your store up and running as fast as possible. You may decide another free theme meets your store's needs better. You'll be able to do that later like a pro.
Scroll down to the bottom of this Themes page to the box that says "Free Themes" and click on the "Explore Free Themes" button.
A popup box will come up that shows you 10 or more free themes.
Step 3) Scroll down to look for the Supply theme. Click on the image of that theme. Another box pops up. This explains what the theme does and gives you a choice of Styles (color combinations) for this theme.
Supply happens to be a theme for sites with a lot of products in their catalog. I'm choose the Blue version style of this theme.
Step 4) Click on the "Install Supply" button. This takes you back to your themes page.
Tip: Just clicking on "Install Supply" doesn't install it as your theme just yet. You still have to click on something else to make it an active theme on your site.
Locate "Supply" in the list of themes installed on your page. Click on the link to the right called "Actions" and click on "Publish" from that box that pops up. Click on the Publish button to complete the installation of Supply as your theme.
Step 7) Supply is now displayed as your Theme in the middle of the screen, with a corresponding preview. Click on the customize button that is highlighted in purple so you can get to the theme editing portion of the site.
You'll now see the design elements of the theme you'll be working with on the left side of the screen. You should also see a live preview in the middle of the screen as you work with it.
There's a menu on the left with buttons you'll be working with more later. The button we're concentrating on in this lesson is the Header button.
The preview looks very plain with just gray boxes right now. You'll fill these in during a later lesson.
Step 8) Locate the email you received from Shopify that said your logo is ready. Once you get to the logo, right-click it and save it someplace you'll remember (Desktop or pictures folder or whatever makes sense for you).
Click on the Header button on the left menu of your screen. Another window opens where you'll see a section called "LOGO." Click on the "Select Image" button you see. A list of images you've already uploaded to your store shows up. (if there are any yet). Click on the gray square at the top of the list of images that has a + sign in it. Locate your logo file on your computer and upload it.
Once you've uploaded it, you can see a preview of it in the header of the site. Below the upload button where you uploaded the image, you'll see a box called "Custom logo width." If your logo looks too small or big, type in different numbers in this box to make it bigger or smaller.
Tip: I have found that a width of about 400 for the logo seems to look nice. Your choice may be a bit different.
You'll notice our logo looks very subdued because of the dark blue background. In the video of this lesson, I quickly changed the color of the header to make things look better. I'll teach you more about that in the future lessons on designing your theme.
Click on the Save button after you've adjusted the width, and you're all set for this lesson. Now when you go to your domain, your logo will show up on every page.
Click here to go on to Chapter 5: What Does A Million Dollar Store Look Like? | a preview of its look on a mobile phone. The default theme installed (at the time of this blog post) is "Minimal."
Tip: A theme is the same as a template for your store. It represents the overall, global design of the store. In other words, where things appear on the pages of your store.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to choose a different, free theme for your store. You'll also learn how to install your new logo.
In lessons after this one, you'll learn everything you need to know about changing the look of your store to meet your personal preferences.
Tip: There are some themes you can purchase from the Shopify Themes Store. I'm not trying to discourage you from doing that in the future. I just don't think it's such a great idea at first. These free themes will make you knowledgeable about how to change colors and move things around. That's the most important thing to know in the beginning stages of your store. Later, if you so desire, purchase a theme you like from the Shopify store. After you | 218 |

Hillsborough renews 5 more charter schools<|fim_middle|>Jan. 26• News |
Combined with four other charters approved earlier this month, they will consume nearly $50 million in state dollars.
Victory K-8 Charter School in Citrus Park was one of five charter schools whose contract was renewed by the Hillsborough County School Board on Tuesday. [ MARLENE SOKOL | Times ]
Marlene SokolTimes staff
Published Feb. 23, 2022|Updated Feb. 23, 2022
The Hillsborough County School Board renewed contracts for five more privately managed charter schools Tuesday, and this time only one received better than a C grade from the state.
Combined, the schools are projected to serve 3,000 students in the coming school year, which means $21 million in state dollars will be diverted to them. The approvals followed four votes on Feb. 8 to extend contracts at another four schools, with a combined enrollment of more than 3,000 and costing $28 million.
Defenders of charter schools, a growing sector in Hillsborough and beyond, note that this money follows the children, and the districts see their expenses decrease with a smaller population.
Before state leaders threatened the district with financial sanctions in June for trying to close charter schools without enough notice, School Board members were reluctant to support schools with spotty performance records.
Now, following their attorney's advice, they keep the schools open as long as they do not have a clear legal reason to close them.
Of the five renewals approved Tuesday, Victory K-8 and SLAM, both in Citrus Park, and BridgePrep Riverview all have C grades from the state. The votes were 6-1 to approve all three, with board member Jessica Vaughn dissenting.
Vaughn said she could not figure out how some of the schools graded C had lower grades than the surrounding district-operated schools, especially when charter schools often have lower percentages of students with English language difficulty or learning disabilities.
The vote was closer, 4-3, for Excelsior Preparatory, an F school that operates from inside University Square Mall. According to minutes from Excelsior's last board meeting, the district has said it will close Excelsior if it earns another F this year. If that happens, Excelsior will consider an appeal.
Board members Stacy Hahn and Lynn Gray had many questions for district staff about their report on Excelsior.
"I am perplexed as to how an F school shows no non-compliance," Hahn said. "This is a failing school and there are no concerns noted by our staff? That's not logical. How do you have a failing school and I don't see anything noted here that's of concern?"
Vaughn, Gray and board chairperson Nadia Combs cast the dissenting votes.
Board member Melissa Snively, often a supporter of charter schools, said there is clearly something wrong when lower-graded charter schools are able to lure families away from district schools that are graded A or B.
She asked, "What are we doing as a district, that we can control, to win these students back to traditional public education with our better performing schools, minutes away?"
The only A school on Tuesday's agenda was Plato Academy, a third Citrus Park school that is part of the Pinellas-based group of schools that teach Greek language and culture. As Plato is designated by the state as a high-performing school, it was able to get a 15-year extension. The other extensions were for five years.

Plato was approved unanimously.
At last count, more than 33,000 public school students in Hillsborough attended charter schools. That's close to 15 percent of the total enrollment.
Combs grilled Cinzia DeLange, the district's charter schools director, on financial and performance records at the schools. She remarked, as she has in the past, that she would like to find a way to educate parents about the strengths and weaknesses of charter schools
"We want parents to have choice," she said. "But we want them to have knowledge to make the best choice for their children."
In other business Tuesday, the board:
Approved a bus driver wage hike that will cost more than $2 million, but is expected to help fill 135 driver vacancies that are making it hard to get students to school on time. Starting hourly wages will rise from $14.57 to $16.04.
Voted to name its newest school, a K-8 in Apollo Beach, for Dorothy Carter York. York, who passed away in 2012, was an author and educator for 45 years, teaching English at Blake High, Hillsborough High and Hillsborough Community College.
Discussed various issues concerning reading materials before they approved a $1.3 million book purchase. Some members were concerned that the state's new reading list does not have enough religious or ethnic diversity. Others are looking for ways to help parents opt out if they object to content in a book that has been assigned to their child. Snively asked for a workshop about book selection. Terry Connor, the district's chief academic officer, said staff are now developing a plan that would notify parents about reading materials at the beginning of the school year.

Back in simpler times, I was a children's librarian. ("Simpler" also meant that books were on stone tablets and shelving was awful!) I published a number of books in the fields of library program resources and children's Bible stories. Then I answered the call to ordained ministry and shifted my writing to weekly sermons until 2008. Innocently, I wandered back into children's publishing and found a whole new wonderful world of self publishing and competition, agents and platforms.
Alert: Steep learning curve! But this Brave New World also has access to expert advice and supportive colleagues—on 12 x 12. Every year I am astonished to produce 15-20 entirely new stories that I had no idea were inside me. Thank you 12 x 12'ers for the structure (I love teeny little badges!) and feedback and encouragement! And letting me attend fantastic webinars in my purple "Feline Groovy" sparkly cat nightshirt!
Gandalf in The Hobbit intrigues Bilbo Baggins with: "I am looking for someone to share in an adventure." This is the invitation we as authors give to every child who opens a book. As we experience this world, we gather stories to share.
Whenever you get the chance – GO! Wherever you go – LOOK!
Look Near. What wonders are in the back yard or the neighborhood park or an hour drive away? A glance out the window in Chicago winter gave me the idea for a kid view of a snow day set in sunny Birmingham, AL.
Look far. Ask for the stories behind statues. In Salzburg, I found a random tribute to a cow inside a castle that grew into the exciting adventure of a bovine heroine.
Look inside. My folks died six weeks apart. My story on the first Thanksgiving after grandma dies speaks to the comfort of tradition for children in a world of change.
Look for differences. How does each culture adapt to its unique environment and traditions? What are the stories that teach lessons from generation to generation? In Vietnam I saw multiple statues of a crane standing on a turtle. The explanation became my folk tale of mutual assistance.
Look for similarities. What does every child experience that transcends culture and location? I fell in love with the not-so-pretty porcine knows as an javalina in the southwest. I wrote a sibling rivalry story between two very different sibling javalinas and a sudden desert monsoon.
Look behind. Pictures and notes and lists and emails and blogs of your adventures can be mined for inspiration. What made you laugh or cry or gasp or gag? Flipping through the pictures of a trip to Southern Indiana for a wedding I found a miniature horse at Churchill Downs and wrote the story of his comfort and companionship with the race horses.
Look ahead. The bucket list still has Japan, but I read all I can before going. I found a true news clipping about ducks in Japan used to weed rice fields that let me to write one about a duck family displaced by urban renewal who relocate to be well fed and useful.
What's next? I am off to Greece to volunteer in a Syran refugee camp in September…..
Grab your passport (or library card!) – adventure and inspiration await those with eyes to see!
Tuktuk began life on paper as a nameless rat who wanted a warm place to sleep. He was very boring. Then my critique group got hold of him over the course of several years plus research on the arctic, added dialog, conflict, suspense, and, finally, a name! Tuktuk came to life in 2016 in the art of Phyllis Saroff through Arbordale Publishing. Tuktuk was included on the Kansas NEA Reading Circle catalog and the Spanish edition is reviewed in School Library Journal.

Robin will be giving two lucky winners a signed copy of either the English or Spanish version of TUKTUK! Go write those drafts!
I get excited just reading brochures! Thanks.
I think you've lived life pretty fully, and you have lots to share in your stories. Thank you for telling us about your journey. I love your video. You have so much enthusiasm and love of life. Congrats on your debut!
Actually I never wrote or told a story before 35 and did not travel until retirement! Never too late!
Inspiring post, Robin. Congrats on your story, TukTuK. Ideas are sometimes elusive and you've given terrific tips on how to find them. I watched your video and felt rejuvenated and encouraged. Happy travels!
Thanks – each day is an adventure!
Robin, you are inspiring. I can't wait to meet Tuktuk. Thanks for owning my eyes.
Thanks! I blog my mission travels – this year is http://www.rcgreece2017.blogspot.com if you want to see more!
Good advice about finding inspiration: next time I'm stuck, I'll have to go out on a mini adventure!
Thanks! They are right in your own back yard!
I love the way you find a story in all the "world". You really bring out the statement of finding a story everywhere. Good wishes for your travels and the books you will write that will share your travels with us.
Thanks – the world is anywhere you are!
Thank you, Robin, for the reminder that stories are all around us.
I like your sense of adventure and creativity.
There is a story around every corner.
Actually there is a cat sitting right around the corner from me at the moment! Wonder what his story is?
I love this! Inspiration everywhere! Just remember to look.
Thanks – it is easier since my cataract surgeries!
Thank you for the great advice about adventure. Even if it makes one late for meals. Oh, yes, javalina are fascinating creatures, as is the monsoon. Your stories look like great fun.
The USA is full of unique and amazing creatures and events – not found in any video game!
Thank you Robin on such a great reminder of how we invite children on an adventure with our stories! I love your reference to Gandalf's invitation to Bilbo. I think I might have to put that up somewhere in my studio as an inspirational reminder of why writing is so important. I also really appreciate all the different ways you find inspiration in the world around you. It's refreshing to think of just how many places and ways we can look to find the starts of stories. Thanks again!
I visited the Hobbiton movie set this year in NZ!
What a fun idea for a book! I lived in the Arctic for 22 years. This makes me homesick for my home there. Congratulations on Tuktuk's success.
WOW – you have stories! Retelling of native tales are needed right now.
Great post, Robin. Thanks so much for the LOOK exhortations. I am eager to read TukTuk.
He come in Spanish, too! And the art is perfect. Thanks!
I love how you were inspired by so many different places and experiences. I am reminded by your piece to keep my own eyes open for story opportunities.
There are so many eyeball distractions in our lives! Just one more game of Candy Crush…..
Thank you for your words of wisdom, Robin. I love your advice, Wherever you go – LOOK! It made me want to explore old pictures, notebooks and to travel everywhere and any way possible!
Robin I love reading about your inspirations and the stories they created. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much Robin for your excellent advice! I was also intrigued by the fact that you wrote children's Bible stories, and wondered what kind of advice you have for those who would like to write similar stories, and enter the religious market.
Sorry to be slow responding – grandchildren have been opening my eyes for the last 2 weeks! I published in the Christian market when it was relatively easy – back in the mid 90's. (Can you say GEEZER?) It has been difficult to break back in now without an agent and/or a big name platform. I do attend the nearest Christian Writers Conference and try to "network." Sometimes writing SS or VBS curriculum or magazine devotions can connect you. Good luck – those stories really need to be told!
I loved hearing about where you were inspired. I have an idea for a story and was concerned that I couldn't write it because I haven't been there. Tuktuk inspired me that if I have the basics of a story with conflict obstacles and a satisfying ending, I can research my way into the story.
Good luck on your trip to Greece. Wonderful that you are working with Syrian refugees. It will be fertile ground for more stories.
Thanks – there are hopeful stories everywhere.
I am<|fim_middle|>!
Inspiring Robin! Also, a testament to how this journey is a lifelong pursuit! Thank you.
Robin! I love your energy and love for the life you have!! I think you are 'present' in the moments you experience which helps you notice and see all of your wonderful ideas for your stories!
Thank you for sharing the inspiration for those ideas here !!
I love how you show us all the places to find inspiration, if we only pay attention!
Robin, you are full of life and exude adventure. What a varied background you've had. And I love you and your cat. I have two. I appreciated your sharing the journey of your story, and with advice from critique groups and research, you ended up with a winner. We need to remember good stories don't happen overnight, but take work and attention. Happy writing and traveling.
Japan is on my bucket list too. Safe travels to Greece.
What an inspiring history. Your resourcefulness is amazing! Very helpful to see how you can birth a story! And what an interesting life you lead. I wish you well in your new adventure!
What a great post for story inspiration! Good luck with Tuk tuk and your travels.
WOW you've found a fabulous way to travel and create adventures for children to read. Loved seeing the development of your stories. You showed beginning, middle and end. Lovely post thank you for sharing your journey.
Thanks for the inspiration. You helped me realize that the themes in my recreational reading and my writing are quite similar. I have a few new ideas to consider now, too. Good luck in Greece.
Thanks so much for all the great suggestions for where to look. All the best with your new adventures!
You are absolutely right – there are stories all around us, in the smallest of places as well as large. Thanks for the reminder.
Terrific and insightful post! Thank you so much, Robin. I am inspired to stay alert to all around me!
Your travels sound amazing! Thank you for the encouragement to look for adventure, even right outside our own window. Congratulations on your success and safe travels!!
Thank you Robin for your unique and inspiring post about where ideas can come from. I am finding that I have just begun on that path. Your story will help me I am sure.
Wow, Robin, just LOOK at all this great advice! Thanks bunches.
Thank you, Robin, for reminding us of the many ways to find inspiration for our writing.
Thank you for sharing your journey so far! I expect there will be many more published books to come.
Robin, thank you for sharing how your journeys and experiences led to fascinating story ideas. I'm looking forward to reading TUKTUK.
Thanks, Robin. Always interesting to hear an author share the stories that have come through life experiences.
Thanks, Robin. Always interesting to hear an author share their stories inspired by life experiences.
Thank you for sharing the ways in which you've found inspiration. Congratulations on Tuktuk!
I love that you find inspiration so easily from your travels and adventures and the things you see in nature.
That's the thing isn't it? You have to keep those creative eyes open and not become deadened by the news or everyday life. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing both your writing adventures & snippets from your travel adventures!
So interesting, Robin! Ideas really are everywhere 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on your success, Robin! Thank you for sharing such an inspiring story!
Thank you for sharing. In our busy day to day lives is is hard to remember to stop and look for those little pieces of inspiration.
Robin, I have made a habit of reading the post at the beginning and the end of each month. I am glad I did because I find myself being more observant in my everyday travels. Thanks for the post and the opportunity to read your book. Tuk tuk .
I really needed this inspiration today Robin. Thank you for sharing and reminding us there are stories at every turn if we are observant. I wonder how many times I've passed by a potential story because I wasn't paying attention to the little things. I love those "off the beaten path" inspirations. Best wishes on your trip to Greece.
Robin- thank you for sharing your writing journal and great advice for finding ideas.
I love the idea of life for ideas and inspiration, and using that concept to drive one to look for adventures! The mere prospect of adventure is inspirational and full of promise. Thankfully, as a military spouse, my life, and the lives of my children, have been filled with adventure. I always say that our frequent travels and our 5 years spent living in Europe are magical and filled with stories. When I'm feeling in need of an idea for a draft, I chat with my kids, or reflect on our travels, and something inevitably pops into my head!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with our 12×12 crew. We truly are a supportive bunch- how wonderful!
Very interesting post. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to read your book.
Thanks for a great post, Robin! I also love that line from the Hobbit – "I am looking for someone to share in an adventure." And I love your wonderful line, "Adventure and inspiration await those with eyes to see." I look forward to reading your books!
And that's what being a writer is all about… truly feeling the world around you. Thanks for sharing!
You make me want to pack my bags and go somewhere, Robin! Thanks for the inspiring post!
Thanks so much for the inspiration Robin! Write On!!!
Great advice that I also share with young writers. You don't have to go far for inspiration and, sometimes, it's right in your backyard.
What a beautiful story about keeping your eyes open for inspiration wherever you go! Love this! Can't wait to read your book.
Thank you for sharing! I love your ideas for inspiration! I look forward to reading your books!
Different seasons in life provide unique adventures. Thanks for sharing some of your experiences. I too have enjoyed some corn goodness in Iowa! Go Hawkeyes! All the best with Tuktuk. Keep going!
Such curiosity and persistence for the story to keep evolving! Thank you for sharing your many viewpoints and adventures.
Congratulations on TUKTUK, I can't wait to read it!!
I love all your fun, interesting, and quirky sources of inspiration, Robin. I'm fascinated and motivated by them! I also liked learning about your process with Tuktuk and am excited to read it. Congrats on your deserved success!
Thanks Robin, it just goes to show there are stories all around us we just need to look. All the best with your PB.
Got my juices flowing again. Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi Robin, thank you for your fun post with lots of ideas for sparking ideas. I particularly liked 'look behind' and 'look ahead' – great inspiration for my next 12×12 drafts.
Great Post, Robin! I can't wait to read tuktuk!
I really enjoyed reading about the wide range of inspiration behind your stories. Love how you incorporate details from as near as your backyard and from as far as your travels take you. Thanks for sharing!

How wonderfully inspiring! Thank you Robin for reminding us to really look around and open our eyes, minds and hearts, both as writers and as human beings.Good luck with Tuktuk and enjoy Greece (I am native Greek and just came back)!
Thanks for the informative and inspirational post, Robin.
Thank you for sharing your writing adventure Robin! It seems inspiration is all around us. Thank you for the example to slow down and look around for the stories that surround us.
I love your intrepid nature and adventurous advice, and celebrate your many manuscripts written during each year of 12×12. Thank you!
I could learn a lot from your wonderful examples of looking and learning, Robin. Great post!
Thank you so much for your adventurous nature and for sharing it with us. I can't wait to hear about your next travels to Japan!
What an interesting story concept. Thank you for sharing Robin.
Robin, thank you for inspiring me! Passport, journal, camera, wide-eyed wonder, heart, and soul! Ready to write!
On to the next stage of the journey!
Great Advice Robin! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, Robin…for the inside peek at how your writing journey unfolded. I love that TUKTUK had a journey of his own and I love that it was your critique group that helped launch him on a successful adventure.
Thank you for a wonderful, motivating post. I can't wait to travel to Greece again. This time as a writer. Enjoy your trip.
I always love seeing where people get their inspiration! And love that you don't let never being to a place prevent you from writing about it–this is always a fear of mine!
This is a great post, Robin. Look, look, look!!! Your book "looks" pretty wonderful. Thanks you for the opportunity to win, and for being here!
Great post – thanks for sharing your inspirations. Always interesting to hear some of the personal details behind people's work .
I love your examples of inspiration. Good luck on your next adventure. Thanks!
Fantastic post! I love all the *directions* for inspiration. And your last paragraph with your "boring" character was a blessing to me because I felt that my draft for this month was little short of "boring," so… per your example, perhaps some further revisions can shape it into something wonderful!
Hi Robin, You are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Inspiring post with reminders that being a writer means always acting like a writer, observing at all times. Thanks!
Robin, your life seems to epitomize the phrase "carpe diem." I am inspired! Thank you for sharing. I look forward to searching for your books!
Congratulations, Robin! Looking forward to reading TukTuk. Thank you sharing your many wonderful experiences and inspiring philosophy to GO and LOOK!
I loved hearing about how you get your inspirations. The brain works in mysterious ways sometimes, and I often can't figure out where my stories come from, except maybe a location, an image, or a feeling. It sounds like you have many locations to inspire you!
Really enjoyed this! Loved learning about all the places you find inspiration. Thank you!
Thank you for the inspiring tale of your personal writing path, and well-constructed "how-to's". I am going to remember to use those look behind, look ahead, and so on. Congratulation on your success in taking kids on adventures!
What a lovely post. It is so inspiring to see how you came up with ideas for stories.
Robin, thank you for sharing you journey with us.
I like how you use the past, present, and future, known and unknown. You aren't afraid to tackle anything. You are a character.
Thanks for sharing the story behind your story.
This post was so inspirational! Thank you, Robin, for sharing with us. I can't wait to read about Tuktuk and your other stories.
Great post Robin! Keeping your inspiring list in my notebook to jumpstart my next adventure.
Congratulations on your success Robin. I love how you combine your travels with writing stories for children. It gives me hope that I can do so too!
A great reminder that inspiration is all around! Some of our friends will be joining you in Greece in January to help with the refugee situation too. Best of luck to you!
iNSPIRATION abounds with your post Robin! I am intrigued with your journey to writing stories by taking in your surroundings wherever you are at. You have shown not to take any thing for granted while brainstorming.
Thank you for this wonderful post! You have reminded me of the many ways we can be inspired for our stories. Thank you for sharing!
Robin – thank you so much for sharing your story and your inspirations for your stories. "Tuktuk" sounds awesome!
Inspiration near and far. Thank you!
Robin, thanks for sharing the things that bring you inspiration. It seems like my best ideas are sparked by the things, people and places I love the most. I am excited to read your arctic tale and I wish you the best on your adventure in Greece, what a wonderful opportunity!
Enjoyed the post. I look foward to reading Tut Tut. Also, I wrote 3 picture book drafts this month. Put in the first one, can't log in the other 2.
Robin enjoyed the post. Thanks for the tips.
Such great advice, Robin! Thanks for sharing your stories and pictures with us!
I love this post and the wisdom that comes from it – that inspiration can be found anywhere! It is so important to always keep our eyes (and ears open!). Congratulations on your success and best of luck volunteering at the refugee camp. So inspiring!
Great post, Robin! I loved reading about where you find your inspiration. Enjoy your upcoming travels!
What wonderful ideas Robin – and I especially love the snowy day out the window. You are having such great adventures – good luck with the volunteer role. Thank you for sharing – very inspirational!
Great post. I love the background on your story ideas and the reminder to keep my eyes open for my own. Thanks.
Thanks for the reinforcement that writing is itself a way of engagement with the world and one's own particular life and experience. No dearth of places to look, whatever one's boundaries happen to be at any given moment. Looking forward to reading your books.
Thanks for such an inspiring post. You live life to the fullest. Wishing you a safe trip to Greece. Thank you for volunteering your time with the refugees.
Thank you for your inspirational post, Robin! This last few weeks I've been lost for story ideas, now you've inspired me!
Thank you for sharing this month!
Thanks for the wonderful post! Tuk-tuk looks amazing, too.
Thanks for your great ideas for gathering inspiration for stories.
Thanks for your interesting post. Perhaps I'll go through some of my photos with a writer's eye.
:)I think The Hobbit quote also makes for excellent wedding vows!
I am wondering if you plan to visit the Arctic?
Thank you! Great, inspiring, post.
What a great article on how to find new ideas for PB's. I was feeling a bit stressed facing September with a blank page and a blank mind. I will be re-reading this article several times to hone my skills. Thanks Robin.
What an amazing backstory you have and it seems many adventures that lie ahead of you.
We share some similarities. It appeared from the photos that you spent some time in China. I was fortunate to do that also as part of an educational exchange. I made lifelong friendships there.
My parents passed away eight days apart. The experience changes you for sure.
I have copied the Gandalf quote you used and posted it at my desk.
I'm a little late to the party, but I'm trying to catch up. Thanks for your post and safe travels this month as you go on your next adventure.
You gave us so many good writing ideas. I appreciate them all. | looking forward to reading this book, Robin, and today I asked my local library to purchase a copy. Thank you for all your tips about observation for story ideas.
Most excellent – hope Tuktuk gets a lot of reading time as winter comes!
I love that you find stories in the places you go. Thank you for offering us a glimpse into your process.
Sometimes only go to the backyard!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas of where you get ideas. Ideas come to me in all sorts of places too.
I have worked in enough developing countries that I have a wonderful collection of Bathrooms of the World!
What adventures you've had. And such great story inspiration!
Actually I did not start traveling until about a decade ago! But observation goes a long way.
Love how you look at life & have used your travel & life experiences to gather ideas for writing. Wonderful post!
No matter where I travel people are much more similar than different.
Thanks for sharing your sources of inspiration with us!
It is all around the next corner….
Robin, you make it all sound so do-able! Thank you for the inspiration.
Adventure starts in the library! Or the playground. Or the zoo…..
Robin, you certainly pay attention to the world around you, think about it, and come up with some unique story ideas. Congratulations on your books and thank you for sharing your story.
"Look" — what a great piece of advice. It's one of the first words we learn and it's a perfect way to find inspiration and ideas. Thanks, Robin.
Robin- you truly are an inspiration to me! It is an honor to know you- and be part of your critique group, and learn from your wealth of knowledge from traveling around the globe. Wow! Amazed, impressed, totally in awe!
Thank you for sharing the inspiration behind some of your stories. What a full and beautiful life you've lived! I often struggle to come up with new ideas, but you have shown me that ideas are all around us if only we take the time to look.
Thank you for the inspiring post, Robin! I love how you found inspiration from real journeys as well as journeys inside books. Congratulations on Tuktuk! I'm looking forward to reading it one day.
Great post! I am encouraged to look all around me once again! Thanks!
Love this! Great post and reminder to look, learn and be inspired. Congratulations Robin | 493 |

ebm-papst Australia supports the regional aid agency Engineers Without Borders Australia in Melbourne
Engineers Without Borders are active in seven countries, passing on their technical knowledge, helping development work and creating new infrastructure in remote countries and communities. ebm-papst Australia has been supporting this organisation since 2009.
The non-profit organisation is comprised of engineers, scientists and students who use their skills and knowledge to provide aid in Australia and central and south-east Asia. This includes securing water supply, installing sanitary systems and renewable energy projects.
"What started as a small group of people has developed over the past 11 years to a movement of 15,000 people and companies, all working together to create change through humanitarian engineering", describes Lizzie Brown, CEO of Engineers Without Borders Australia.
"For us as<|fim_middle|>well, Managing Director of ebm-papst A & NZ
For Simon Bradwell, Managing Director of ebm-papst A & NZ, supporting a project like this is a matter close to his heart. He too had contributed to social projects before starting his career at the fan manufacturer. "My wife and I went to Zambia for two years in 1999 to do voluntary work and challenge ourselves professionally", says Bradwell.
The work in various projects and the cultural and interpersonal experiences that the couple collected in Africa made a lasting impression. This is why inspiring his colleagues to help in various activities for Engineers Without Borders is an important cause for Simon Bradwell. "For us as a business, social responsibility is very important", he declares. "That's why I'm pleased that we are able to help a regional aid organisation like Engineers Without Borders Australia".
"The financial support from ebm-papst allows us to train many of our members and gain new ones."
Lizzie Brown, CEO of Engineers Without Borders Australia
The Australian ebm-papst team regularly participates in the "Ride Around the Bay" in Melbourne and cycles with family members, friends and colleagues to raise funds for Engineers Without Borders. ebm-papst also donates ten dollars to the non-profit organisation for every completed customer experience feedback questionnaire.
"The financial support from ebm-papst allows us to train many of our members and gain new ones", explains Lizzie Brown. "ebm-papst also sponsors a range of events which are very important for the exchange of knowledge and interests".
Link-Festival in Melbourne
Linked: In February, ebm-papst Australia supported the Link Festival, organised by Engineers Without Borders. The event in Melbourne brought together scientists, engineers, architects and students to discuss the latest developments in technology and design along with social change. Specialist experts taught new approaches and shared their experiences in a range of workshops and sessions. The event offered a platform for networking, inspiration and exchanging ideas for future developments.

The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is a group of youth volunteers who represent all of our YVCKC youth by providing a youth voice in the development of the program. YAB members have demonstrated hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment to YVCKC's mission statement.
To serve our community by using our voice to make an impact and form connections between youth volunteers and community partners.
To collaborate with nonprofits to spread volunteerism throughout the community.
YAB meets once a month to get to know each other, build teamwork, leadership skills, and better understand issues facing the Kansas City community.
I am Zoe Thompson to be the President of the YVCKC Youth Advisory Board this year! I love being on Y<|fim_middle|> Harper and I am a Freshman at Olathe East. I am involved in the Yearbook, GSA club (Gay Straight Alliance club), and Theater.
I like to read, watch makeup artists on YouTube, try different makeup looks and hair do's on me and my friends. In my free time, I like to sit on the couch, watch Netflix and eat lots of food. Participating in YVC has opened my eyes to another world and has made me look at things in a different light. I don't look at life and only watch out for myself. I go out of my way to make sure that people are okay. YVC has made me a lot more compassionate about giving.
My favorite YVC memory was helping out children at Northland Headstart. All of the kids seemed to really like me and I loved reading them books before they'd lie down for nap time. | AB because it gives me an opportunity to have an impact on the projects and events in my community, as well as being a great way to reach out to and help other kids become more motivated to serve. I hope to gain a better understanding of ways in which I can encourage others to contribute to the betterment of our society this year, as well as developing as a leader. I am currently involved in orchestra, Key Club, Youth Court and NHS as a senior at Blue Valley Northwest.
Hi! My name is Caroline Lubbe. I am currently in 8th grade at Oxford Middle Schools. I started my journey with YVC this past summer. I like to volunteer because I know that I can make an impact on the world. At school, I am involved in STUCO, theater, jazz band, concert band and taekwondo. My favorite YVC memory was being able to play with babies.
Greetings! I am Rose Lubbe and I am an 8th grader and Oxford Middle School. In my spare time, I like to do art, hangout with friend and family. My favorite YVC memory was helping little kids learn how to walk. I like volunteering because it makes an impact on people's lives and I can see how it affects them. Outside of YVC, I am currently involved in rebel and theater at my school.
My involvement with YVC over the past three years has helped me develop a commitment to a lifetime of community service. Growing up in an affluent area of Johnson County can cause you to be somewhat sheltered from the difficulties and struggles of others living in your greater community. Involvement in YVC has allowed me to gain a much better awareness and understanding of these needs and challenges. Through my volunteering, I've seen firsthand how one person can truly make a difference. Small acts of kindness, when multiplied by many people, can change the world! As the Vice President on the Youth Advisory Board, I organize events that help youth become more engaged in giving back to their community. In the words of Winston Churchill, "we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give".
Hi my name is Troy McClendon and I am Head Secretary for the Youth Advisory Board. I love volunteering because it is a big part of my life and I love being around kids.
I'm Aislinn Kinsella, and I am a junior at Shawnee Mission East High School. Aside from volunteering, I am involved in Cross Country, Debate, Band,Harry Potter Club and the Youth and Government at my school. My greatest passions include reading, taking long walks in nature, and yoga. Being a YAB member has given me the opportunity to serve my community on a larger scale, and it has made me both a better person and a better leader. My favorite YVC memory is attending the Ann Arbor Summit.
My name is Peyton Young and I am a crescent. I am so grateful to be a part of the YAB committee. YAB inspires me to help and try to inspire people that need it most. It makes me feel super amazing to help out people.
My name is Kelly Knief and I am currently a sophomore at the Barstow School. I enjoy dancing, hanging with friends, spending time with my dog and eating food. My favorite YVC memory is attending the YVC Summit 2018 in Charleston, South Carolina. I like to volunteer because it boosts ego and helps the community. In school, I am involved on the dance team, pep club, french club and the kariessentes.

Avnet sales director, Gavin Lawless, will take the reins from local managing director, Colin McKenna, following his decision to retire on December 31.
As the value-added distributor's new country business manager, Lawless is responsible for all facets of business management including sales, marketing and technical support. His main priorities are to increase the spending of existing resellers while finding new dealers to work with and vendors to represent.
Avnet is currently going through a period of controlled expansion that has recently seen it add Alcatel, CommVault and NetApp to its vendor stable.
Its core business is built around high-end HP and IBM servers but the aim is to grow its potential market by getting more involved in the sale of 'industry standard' Wintel boxes. Lawless admitted this had changed the competitive landscape and taken Avnet into markets served by broad-based players. But he was keen to highlight differences in approach.
"We like to think we are not competing hugely with Ingram Micro or Cellnet because we don't lead with pricing," he said. "Our lead is at the high end."
With a current stable of less than 10 vendors, Lawless said he would eventually like to work with brands that are represented by its US parent company including EMC and Sun Microsystems. He will also look to grow its storage practice while moving into new areas like networking and security.
"We sell security as part of the Alcatel and Enteras<|fim_middle|> to build but claimed it was currently tracking at an annual growth rate of about 25 per cent. He would not provide annual revenue projections.
After eight years at the helm - and three decades in the industry that have seen him working for heavyweights like Digital, Unisys and IBM - McKenna plans to spend his retirement strolling the fairways and reading philosophy.
"After concentrating heavily on business for so long I want to expand my knowledge into other areas," he said. "There's plenty to keep me going."

Item C6 - 3/8" Sash Mortise Chisel. Underhill. Nashua, N.H.
This nice sash mortise chisel carries an Underhill mark that I don't recall seeing before—and it looks to be an older chisel. The 3/8" chisel has a heavy blade with the upswing that you see in paring chisels. It has a good socket that is hand forged and a short hickory handle with steel ring. The handle looks original. The blade measures 6 ½ inches long to the bottom of the socket, and is 10" to the top of the socket. With the handle its total length is about 13". The mark on the top of the blade is simply, "Underhill<|fim_middle|> the late 1850s, and likely dates from the early 1850s.

Review: Wentworth Season 3
Here's my review of the 3rd season of Wentworth , the tense Australian women's prison drama. Season 3 raises the stakes. Everyone's situation is fraught and the lunatics are in charge of the asylum. Characters turn harder and tougher and use what they know to manipulate and control. Beware the spoilers.
I also reviewed seasons 1 and 2 and Bea's Journey in season 4.
The season begins with Bea Smith (Danielle Cormack) returning to the prison with a life sentence for killing the man who gave her daughter an overdose. Bea instigates a riot to seize control of the prison, telling Governor Ferguson (Pamela Rabe) that the prison belongs to her, not the Governor. Franky Doyle (Nicole da Silva), who was formerly top dog, quickly concedes her title to Bea and declares her Queen Bea. Franky leads a slow clap for Bea and seems relieved to be just another prisoner and not top dog.
Tammy Macintosh, Nicole da Silva, Danielle Cormack and Libby Tanner in Wentworth season 3
New faces in season 3 include Kaz Procter (Tammy Macintosh) who is on the outside running a guerrilla campaign against men who abuse women. Bea Smith is her personal goddess. People we put on pedestals have a tendency to fall, which can lead to a lot of anger.
A new counselor Bridget Westfall (Libby Tanner) begins working with the inmates. She's an excellent counselor – clear headed and aware of what a nutjob Ferguson is. She's also a lesbian.
Franky crosses boundaries with Bridget. Does that surprise anyone?
If you've watched the first two seasons of Wentworth you know how susceptible lesbians are to Franky's charms, and Bridget is no different. Bridget resists, but Franky invades her personal space, touches her, flirts outrageously, and does her best to seduce her. Unfortunately Deputy Governor Vera Bennett (Kate Atkinson) sees it and reports it. Bridget, who supports Franky in her efforts to get paroled, is forced to leave the prison.
Doreen (Shareena Clanton) has a baby in season 3. This plot line began in season 2. Jess (Georgia Chara) moves into a larger role over the baby. Jess has a problem. She's criminally insane where babies are involved. This was obvious from the first conversation Doreen and Jess have, but somehow nobody picked up on it until the climactic final episode when it was almost too late.
The guard Will Jackson (Robbie Magasiva) struggles to stay out of jail himself, as Ferguson does everything she can to destroy him. Will is an admirable man in so many ways. I love his character.
Will and the nurse Rose (Maggie Naouri) are an item. Rose has a bigger part this year because of her relationship with Will but also because so many of the prisoners end up in a hospital bed this season.
Finally, I must mention Boomer (Katrina Milosevic) and Max (Socratis Otto) who are very present at all times. Max is muscle for Queen Bea, but Boomer and Max have a funny side plot of their own involving frozen sperm Max put by.
Bea and Franky are still the starring characters among the prisoners. Bea turns hard in her effort to retain control as top dog. She does some vicious and scary things in her new role. She also does some brave and heroic things.
Franky is up for parole. Everyone from Ferguson (The Freak) to her fellow prisoners use that against her. She's forced to do a number of unsavory things in order to protect her chances to get parole. Franky has to sidestep drug smugglers, Ferguson and just about everyone else. One particularly despicable prisoner forces her to do disgusting things and later the same prisoner messes up the deputy governor's life in a big way.
Doreen is happily hormonal, singing to her pregnant belly and visiting with the father Nash (Luke McKenzie) until the two of them are framed in a drug scam. She is unaware of the danger her baby faces until the last possible moment.
Liz (Celia Ireland) is meant to be the alternate carer for Doreen's baby. Two things interfere with that. Her daughter shows up in prison as an inmate. And weird Jess does all sorts of things to take over the role of alternate carer for Doreen's baby, including provide booze for the alcoholic Liz.
Doreen's baby sends Ferguson into a tail-spin over Jianna, the girl she was in love with in a former prison. Ferguson confuses Jianna with Doreen and things get dangerous because of it.
Ferguson manipulates everyone for her own purposes. This causes mayhem among the prisoners, who don't see the manipulations – only the results. Prisoners turn against each other.
As the season progresses, we glimpse more and more evidence of how crazy Ferguson really is. Her insanity impacts the inmates and the employees in numerous bad ways.
Kate Atkinson as Vera
Vera Bennett, the deputy governor, steps out on her own. Vera slowly begins to realize that the Governor she idolized is flawed and is doing illegal things to the inmates. Vera isn't a manipulator. She's more prone to confront people directly. She gathers her information and eventually takes it over Ferguson's head.
Vera remains friends with the guard Fletch (Aaron Jeffery) who was run down at Ferguson's orders at the end of season 2. Fletch can't remember what happened, but as the season goes by he remembers more and more. Vera helps with this, as does the counselor Bridget. His returning memories make him an ally for Queen Bea in her struggle to take down Ferguson The Freak. One of the funniest lines in the whole season is when Fletch throws in with Bea to topple Ferguson. He tells her, "I hope you<|fim_middle|> Guild award went to Stuart Page for Episode 3.1 "The Governor's Pleasure"

Tristen says:
I enjoyed the 3rd season but got very tired of Doreen's baby story. I never was worried they would kill the baby. Her storyline was too drawn out. Franky's storyline was predictable. The true sexual heat was in season 1 with her and the Govenor. Too bad they didn't bring her back. Also, where are the f**king GUARDS ?? I don't believe inmates have that much freedom. OK … I know I've complained a lot, but I still enjoyed the season.
Jess practically had a "dangerous to babies" sign flashing over herhead, which I found strained disbelief.
I'm hoping that Bridget can keep Franky on the straight and narrow.
Yeah, where WERE the guards!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. I may be behind a little bit news-wise…is there a season four?
Indeed there is, and it's equally as good or better. It's now on Netflix (if that's where you're watching it). I've written a review but don't read it until after you see the season, because spoilers are rampant. | have a bigger army than I do."
By the way, kudos to Aaron Jeffery for doing a fine job as the damaged, confused, stumbling Fletch this season.
Some Reflections on Wentworth
Having spent all my life in classrooms as either a student or a teacher, I can tell you that a principal sets the tone for the entire school. The same thing is true of a prison: the Governor sets the tone for the entire prison. Season 3 is more dangerous for the women because of the Governor.
Under Ferguson's leadership in season 3 people were hurt, tortured, sexually assaulted, terrorized, blackmailed, steam ironed, infected with tainted blood, and murdered.
I can't imagine Ferguson will be back as Governor in season 4. She killed someone and ignited the whole prison in flames at the end of season 3. Maybe she can continue to hoodwink everyone, you never know with her. I commend Pamela Rabe for making Joan Ferguson scary as hell.
Franky gets her parole and is outside as season 4 begins. What little I've been able to find as spoilers for season 4 indicate that Franky remains in the cast even while outside. She may be with the counselor Bridget – Bridget was waiting for Franky outside the prison gates when she was released on parole.
The prison will be in a new location in season 4. I've read that the cast is pretty happy about that.

The leading characters among the Wentworth prison population
The acting in the series is uniformly outstanding. The prisoners, the guards, everyone from the lead characters to the lesser players makes it real and believable throughout. In particular, I'd like to praise the work of Danielle Cormack and Nicole da Silva from among the prison population and Pamela Rabe and Kate Atkinson from among the jailers.
Wentworth earned 21 well-deserved award nominations for the cast and creators of this prison drama. You can see all the nominees on IMDB. These are the winners:
An Astra award for Most Outstanding Performance by an Actor went to Danielle Cormack in 2015
An Astra award for Most Outstanding Performance by an Actor went to Nicole da Silva in 2014.
An AACTA award for Best Lead Actress in a Television Drama went to Pamela Rabe in 2016.

HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM | REVIEWS | Mike Johnson - Gone Out of Your Mind album review hybridmagazine.com :: indie counter-culture daily, no secret handshakes.
It's been a gloomy, wet spring here in the Bay Area; this CD has been the perfect soundtrack for the dreary weather.
I'd only heard of Mike Johnson as the final bass player in Dinosaur Jr, so it was a really pleasant surprise to find out he's put out five albums of his own since then. Johnson's musical world isn't exactly bright and cheery - he often comes across as a Northwest Nick Cave, or a cohort of Mark Lanegan (not surprising, as Johnson played on<|fim_middle|> and accordion, and piano-led tune leading the general air of melancholy. Johnson's voice is a little bit more personal and intimate than Cave's, but this only adds to the appeal. One of this year's finest songs.
If you want a soundtrack for a dreary day, or just want to draw the curtains against the sunshine and curl up to do some serious introspection, you should definitely include this CD in your soundtrack. | Lanegan's solo albums). Still, if you're in the mood for something dark and compelling, there are plenty of delights to be found here.
Gone Out Of Your Mind is bookended by a couple of light, folky acoustic guitar pieces, appropriately named "In" and "Out". Then we get right into the dark stuff with the pounding "On Track", whose thumping drums and grinding guitar riff reminded me of Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Nicotine Stain". Johnson's deep, brooding vocals recall the aforementioned Mark Lanegan, maybe low-register Bowie, or even goth kingpin Andrew Eldritch from Sisters of Mercy.
The high standard is kept up from here on. "Rot" is a fine acoustic / electric hybrid with desperate lyrics. "Gone Out of Your Mind" is a slow, waltz-time ballad - very Nick Cave - while "Fade Away" brings more desperation, with a political edge this time: "The rich get richer every day, what the poor man got gets taken away". This one ties in nicely with the Voltaire quote on the cover: "The comfort of the rich depends upon an abundance of the poor".
"Can't Get it Right" is another dark grinder with some wild guitars and doomy, echoed vocals; it recalls the aforementioned Banshees, or maybe early 80s postpunk stuff like Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. Then comes the highlight of the album; "If The World Hadn't Gone Insane" could actually be Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, with its pretty slide guitar | 325 |

Yampa Valley Adventure Center inching toward reality as design firm plans event in Craig

Frank Moe stands for a portrait inside the Cent<|fim_middle|>oe estimates that it will bring in over $43 million to Craig in annual impact, with around $7 million going to payroll. Most of that $43 million would come from retail and ticket sales, followed by hotel revenue and indirect revenue brought in to local businesses.
Dimensional Innovations, a firm that has experience in designing and constructing museums and other exhibits, will help provide exhibit design concept and fundraising concept materials to help visualize the vision for the center.
At the center, Moe's plans indicate guests will have access to hands-on activities, exhibits and simulators to walk behind and touch a waterfall, step into a fishing boat and reel in a big fish and hit the trail on a mountain bike or snowmobile. According to the center's brochure, outdoor recreational activities along with specialized retail offerings, unique eating experiences and services (such as outfitting and tours) for outdoor adventures throughout the region.
Carole Hollman, who has led and facilitated large-scale exhibit and interpretive projects across the country, is one of the DI managers who is helping facilitate the project, along with Alex Divine. Hollman said that DI has helped bring the center's vision to life.
"From my understanding, the center's plan is to have the Colorado great outdoors experience where part is the adventure center and the other part is the hall of fame," she said. "The exhibits are basically about Colorado, the outdoors and other recreational activities, flowers of Colorado, Colorado rivers, (and) state parks and wildlife."
Hollman added that the firm designs and builds exhibits all around the country and has done them for different museums and various sports halls of fame, including work at the Las Vegas Raiders Stadium, which has the largest 3-D printed structure in the world. She added that DI can help design and build early in the visualization process.
"We can take the germ of an idea and bring it out into the world into a fundraising campaign," she said.
Hollman said she is going to come to Craig next week to the reception in order to further assess the next steps of the project.
"We have a special place in our hearts for Craig after hearing about the coal mines closing," she said. "Our team is doing everything we can to help Craig re-envision itself. Everyone in our firm is so excited about this. It's such a great story: 'What do we do after coal mining?' We're going to do everything we can to make this happen."
Moe's project relies on approval by the newly formed Craig Urban Renewal Authority, which Moe anticipates will, through tax increment financing, helping fund the development of the Centennial Mall into this bold new venture.

Danny Cowley hailed the "outstanding" technical ability and versatility of Lee Angol after bringing the striker back to Lincoln City.
Angol, who had a successful loan spell at Sincil Bank towards the end of the National League-winning season, has rejoined the club on loan from Shrewsbury.
His return has triggered a mixed reaction from some supporters who remain unhappy that Angol turned down a permanent move to City 18 months ago in favour of joining Mansfield.
But Cowley had no qualms about re-signing the former Peterborough forward and believes the 24-year-old could have a key role to play as the Imps chase promotion to League One.
"We're really pleased to bring Lee back in. He gives us real tactical flexibility," said Cowley.
"He can play as a lone<|fim_middle|> Burnley in the Premer League and has played for Scotland.

"We know Lee well and know what makes him tick. For us, the challenge is to get the best out of him. If we can, he's got Championship ability, there's no doubt about that.

Everything You've Wanted To Know About Planetary Defense But Were Afraid To Ask
Citizen ScienceBy Val June 17, 2020 Leave a comment
When you first hear the words "Planetary Defense" you might think of a sci-fi movie with spaceships ready to defend Earth from aliens, and maybe some Earthlings in spacesuits holding laser guns. This is not the case. Planetary Defense is slightly more down to Earth, so to speak. It does involve defending Earth, but it…

For a moonshot, you need more than just the moon
By Phil Quade | February 07, 2018
Time and again I have heard a declaration that is typical of the sweeping statements of the digital age.
"We need a cybersecurity moonshot!"
Vision without a strategy, however, is no more than ear candy. A smart person once said that leap-ahead progress is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. To achieve a moonshot, you need a lot more than just the moon. And, more often than not, those who throw this phrase around with regards to cybersecurity have little else.
In 1961, President Kennedy threw down a gauntlet: "This nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth." At the time, what Kennedy proposed seemed impossible. And then we did it, in a public-private collaboration that drew from the best strengths of government and industry.
This is the kind of vision and determination to which we should aspire. Calls for a comprehensive cybersecurity moonshot are too often vague cries to "make the internet safe." I'd like to re-claim the moonshot term to resolve a national problem that impacts lives and the future of the digital economy.
It will demand a shared vision that is achievable, yet bold enough to push us collectively and ambitiously, with a timeline aggressive enough to demand focused, sustained action. The challenge must be real, and we must be as pragmatic as we are ambitious. And we must make a commitment to achieving this goal swiftly – within a year. Not only will this allow for maximum input and commitment across a wide range of organizations, but it will also allow for a more manageable cost model. It will prime us to expand such moonshots for future, more ambitious achievements.
The counter-DDoS moonshot
I propose eliminating Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) impacts, leveraging the combined strengths of industry and government to create a national counter-DDoS capability that serves all.
DDoS attacks take websites and entire organizations down by flooding them with massive amounts of data or commands and they have become more destructive and more common over the past several years. And yet, even the most consumer-facing brand, no matter how large or small, is expected to stand up to the cyber might of activist groups and nation-states.
In 2016, a team of Iranian hackers launched sustained DDoS attacks against dozens of U.S. banks, costing losses in the millions. The hackers also used the DDoS attacks as a distraction while they attempted to remotely take control of a dam in Rye, NY, just 25 miles north of New York City. For the FBI and the U.S. government, the hack of the dam was a game-changer that made real the talk of the widespread risk of the nation's infrastructures.
Later that year, the Mirai botnet—a fairly simple malware that hijacked devices running Linux by exploiting weak passwords—affected internet access in large sections of the United States. It did this by bypassing the weak security of IoT, turning the devices into bots that could be deployed in a DDoS attack. That one Mirai attack shut off access to the internet for millions of Americans. In the following weeks, Mirai attacks successfully disrupted internet service for 900,000 people in Germany and infected 2,400 routers in the<|fim_middle|> would leverage the best of breed from the private sector, augment it with government capabilities as well, and be available nearly instantly in times of need.
Service providers would stop the hemorrhaging by being able to quickly amass bandwidth at the point of attack.
Agile segmentation companies would narrow the effect against the targeted victim, and perhaps also segment off misbehaving systems.
Government agencies that are capable and authorized to defend the countrywould take the fight into foreign cyberspace, e.g. U.S. Cyber Command could swiftly defend upstream, deploying operations with the full strength of its mandate and resources to stop the attack at its source.
All of this is eminently doable, if we have the courage and humility to work together. The collective brilliance that the digital and cybersecurity communities have amassed is staggering—with each new generation poised to push us further. At one time, we were challenged to ask not what our country could do for us but what we could do for our country. It is time that the leading organizations in digital technology come together once again to ask the same.

Mirai Botnet : Protect Your Infrastructure with FortiDDoS
FortiDDoS Launches Support for FortiGuard Domain Reputation Service for IoT and Botnet Based DDoS Attack Mitigation
Fortinet's FortiDDoS Supports BGP Flowspec | UK.
This year, the percentage of organizations hit by a DDoS attack exploded from 17 percent to 33 percent. In 2016, 82 percent of the organizations that were hit reported being attacked multiple times. More troubling, 53 percent discovered that the DDoS attacks were executed as flak to cover more serious cybercrime such as malware and data theft.
Currently, the Reaper IoT Botnet—built upon parts of Mirai's code, and already infecting a million networks—has shown how rapidly and destructively these attacks can iterate. And Reaper has yet to show its true colors, mostly sitting silent across vast networks like a highly connected digital sleeper cell. As the attack in Rye, NY proves, our adversaries see DDoS as a viable tactic to access and affect infrastructures such as energy systems, transportation systems, critical manufacturing and other democratic institutions whose availability we cannot afford to take for granted.
To eliminate the power and damage of DDoS attacks, private sector and government capabilities would each be leveraged. A national capability | 220 |
Jayden Daniels Matt Corral Lane Kiffin Kaysh<|fim_middle|> a different team, but it's a team that has confidence. It's a team that knows if they don't play clean, if they don't have an attention to detail, they'll have similar results as they did against Tennessee."
Ole Miss is 2-0 on the road so far, but Kiffin figures LSU's 102,000-seat Tiger Stadium provides a more challenging environment than Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt.
"Obviously this is a different animal than the first two places," Kiffin said. "No disrespect to those places but this will be a real atmosphere and crowd noise for our guys to step into.
"A lot of teams have not performed very well there," Kiffin said. "They've got a great, winning record over the years there. Their crowd understands football and is into it as much as any place that you go. We've played some really challenging games there."
The only other time Kiffin took Ole Miss to LSU was in 2020, when the Tigers won 53-48.
Ole Miss has passed for 448 yards (against Vanderbilt) and rushed for 448 yards (against Auburn) in the last two games.
"If the run game's not working, then we'll pass it," Rebels receiver Dayton Wade said. "If the passing game's not working, then we'll run it. We ultimately want the 'W.'"

Kiffin: No. 7 Ole Miss faces toughest road test yet at LSU

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin offered a blunt assessment of the challenge facing the unbeaten and seventh-ranked Rebels when they visit LSU on Saturday.
"This is the most talented opponent by far," Kiffin said.
Mississippi (7-0, 3-0 SEC) is one victory away from its first 8-0 start since the 1962 Rebels won a national title with a 10-0 mark.
But oddsmakers don't seem to think this season's Ole Miss squad is destined for such glory. LSU (5-2, 3-1) was listed as a 1 1/2-point favorite, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
The way each team played last week likely figured into that.
Ole Miss was at home against struggling Auburn, yet the Rebels were unable put that game away until well into the fourth quarter and gave up 34 points.
LSU went into the hostile Swamp and lit up Florida, winning 45-35 in quarterback Jayden Daniels' best game yet as a Tiger. Daniels passed for three touchdowns and ran for three more.
"He played great the other night, running and throwing," Kiffin said of Daniels. "A very explosive player. And they seem to have gotten the receivers going."
One of the LSU receivers to which Kiffin alluded was Kayshon Boutte, who had an extraordinary game the first time Kiffin coached for Ole Miss in Tiger Stadium two years ago. Boutte caught 14 passes for an SEC-record 308 yards and three TDs in that game. Last week at Florida, Boutte caught six passes for 115 yards.
Kiffin's teams tend to move the ball well, too. And the 2022 Rebels are no exception, despite the loss of star QB Matt Corral to the NFL last spring.
Southern Cal transfer Jaxson Dart has passed for nearly 1,500 yards and 11 TDs, while running backs Quinshon Judkins (720 yards) and Zach Evans (605 yards) lead a Rebels ground game averaging nearly 272 yards.
"Dart can throw it, he can run," Kelly began. "He's complementary with two outstanding backs, big receivers and a very balanced attack that can run it equally as well as they throw it. So, I have a lot of respect for what they do."
KELLY VS. KIFFIN
This marks the fourth time Kelly and Kiffin have faced one another as head coaches.
The past three instances involved Southern California, where Kiffin coached from 2010 to 2013, and Notre Dame, where Kelly spent the previous 12 seasons.
Kelly's Irish won two of those meetings, both at the Los Angeles Coliseum, while Kiffin won in South Bend, Indiana.
But Kiffin noted that "our backup quarterbacks were playing when they won."
Kelly spoke with admiration for Kiffin's ability to design and call offensive plays.
"They always have been cutting edge," Kelly said of Kiffin's offenses. "You better know your own self-scouting and where your tendencies are, because he's going to really dial in on if there is anything that you do (defensively). ... He is going to analyze that and have an answer for it."
TOP-10 TEST
LSU is hosting a team ranked in the top 10 for the second time in three weeks.
Last time, the Tigers were routed 40-13 by Tennessee, which was ranked eighth at the time and has since climbed to No. 3.
But Kelly liked his team's response at Florida the next week.
"This team each week is learning so much and growing," Kelly said. "Two weeks later it's, I don't want to say | 939 |

Europe is flirting with Havana and France has shown it. In Cuba, the national television and local media have announced with all the fanfare of communist propaganda the arrival of the French Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, who on Saturday said that his country wants to strengthen the already "positive" bilateral relationship<|fim_middle|>ard, has tried to break the blockade, as well as protect its original brands. The important French trading company of rums has joined the Caribbean authorities to protect the prestigious Havana Club brand.
Another important cultural link between Cuba and France is the presence of L'Alliance Française offices in Cuba to teach the language of the European nation, the development of French song contests as well as the celebration of a French Film Festival that has a great reception in the Island each year. | .
Contrary to what they believe on Venezuela, Europe is recognizing the new Cuban leader, who according to experts is a continuator of the work of Fidel and Raúl Castro, an omen of few changes. The arrival of the French Foreign Minister represents "the growing links between the European Union (EU) and Cuba", after the political dialogue between the European bloc and the Caribbean was reestablished.
The Old Continent and Cuba broke off foreign relations for almost two decades due to disagreements on human rights in the island, but above all, for the European position to follow the political game to the United States, and specifically, to the right-wing politicians of Florida. The "common position" of the EU towards Cuba was a restrictive position that prohibited all kinds of rapprochement.
However, now history has changed and in addition to the democratic progress in the Caribbean country, Europe and the United States are having economic and political disagreements, so the Old Continent is "divorcing" its old ally. The Caribbean island is a tempting economic fruit for European investors who since the crisis of Cuba have been waiting for a substantial change in the largest of the Antilles. It is not a secret that the number of European businessmen who come the island with the aim of investing in the different sectors is growing every time.
Foreign Minister Le Drian met with his Cuban counterpart Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, but did not make official statements to the press. A meeting with Cuban President Miguel Díaz - Canel is also planned, but this has not yet been confirmed. However, it is possible to happen due to the interest of the Caribbean leader in strengthening some sectors of the Cuban economy in which France has great experience.
According to sources close to the head of French diplomacy, he said that currently relations with Cuba are "very positive" and maintain a "dynamic" that the government of Emmanuel Macron aims to strengthen.
On the other hand, the Cuban foreign minister reaffirmed that relations with France are a priority for the Cuban government. Last May both diplomatic representatives had met, a meeting assessed as "very positive" by both parties. "There is a good exchange of opinions among the chancelleries. The cultural, economic, academic and cooperation relations are going well and there is a significant potential to continue expanding them", said Rodríguez.
Previously, in 2015, the former French President Fraçois Hollande traveled to the island to promote ties between both nations. With the visit, the Frenchman became the first European leader to return to Havana after the restoration of relations between the United States and Cuba.
And although the Caribbean nation apparently has no tempting natural resource for the European powers, the largest of the Antilles is coveted by the world's leading economies since they want to join to the competition to become the main creditor of the Cubans in addition to the Chinese and in the last two years Russia that has strengthened its presence.
Among the diplomatic advances between France and Cuba there are the renegotiation of the debt of the island with France and with the member countries of the Paris Club, a key step for Cuba to access international credit lines.
Another of thing to highlight on the growing cooperation between Cuba and the Gallic nation is the opening of an office in Havana of the French Development Agency (AFD), which has launched cooperation projects, including a millionaire cooperative livestock development program.
France has also invested capital in construction and engineering works such as the one related to the hotel industry, in which companies such as Bouygues carry out a large part of civil works. In fact, it was announced that France plans to invest 40 million euros to update the deteriorated rail network in Cuba.
So far it is managed that the agreement between the National Society of French Railways (SNCF) and the Union of Railways of Cuba includes the modernization of two large locomotive workshops in Havana and Camagüey, the recovery of passenger cars and the putting into operation the popularly known "French train".

Norwalk BoE votes to honor Barbis
By Nancy Guenther Chapman
3 : 28 am EST October 6 2021
Norwalk Board of Education member Mike Barbis in 2017 listens as he is nominated to be Board of Education Chairman.
NORWALK, Conn. — Late Board of Education member Mike Barbis will be memorialized with a buddy bench at Rowayton Elementary School.
"I always looked at him as like the pulse of Rowayton," BoE member Heidi Keyes said Tuesday. "If you think of a buddy bench, it's a way to for children, students at the elementary level, to alleviate loneliness, and to really foster friendships…. it just fosters those relationships between their peers as well as adults."
BoE members voted unanimously in favor of the buddy bench to honor Barbis, who passed away suddenly two weeks ago at age 59.
"Many of us as board members have been really trying to navigate a state of shock over something that is so sudden and so tragic," Board of Education Chairman Colin Hosten said.
Barbis was a BoE member for the last decade of his life, serving as vice chairman and chairman, leading the Facilities Committee and the Finance Committee at different times.
"I didn't work with Mike for a very long time as a board member, but I can say from someone who was on the receiving end of his hard work, as one of the principals in his district, that Mike was always there for kids," Suzanne Koroshetz said. "He was always asking good questions. He was ever present and he really was there for all the students."
"We all know that his passion sometimes got the best of him but for good reasons. He fought for the children. He fought for what he believed those right? He fought for everything. But he was also a mentor and a teacher," Diana Carpio said.
"He was such an amazing resource for the district at large and such a bundle of energy. Anytime I would call him he was there available and accessible," Norwalk Superintendent of Schools Alexandra Estrella said. "…He will be missed by all of us."
"He's had a footprint and a pulse in every part of Norwalk Public Schools," Keyes said. "And I really feel it's important that we do the right thing, not only for his memory, but also for, you know, for his family as well how important that is …It was a sudden passing and it was unexpected and … I think I know I'm personally still numb by it. And you know, his memory, I believe will always live on."

Quite honestly, I don't know much about Mike Barbis on a personal level. The one thing that will cross my mind down the road when I think of him down will be the pathetic response by city leaders to a guy who put his heart and soul into this city.

Do our local politicians not have the guts to credit someone who helped his community? Those I'm talking about are an embarrassment to themselves and those who voted for them..Shame on them. The bench is a nice tribute, BUT where are the well deserved words of credit due Barbis from our city leaders and reps? If it wasn't so pathetic I'd find their silence laughable.

NancyOnNorwalk.com was conceived as the place to go for Norwalk residents to get the real, unvarnished story about what is going on in and around their city. NancyOnNorwalk does not intend to be a traditional print newspaper online; rather, we exist to pull the curtain back and shine a nonpartisan spotlight on how Norwalk is run and what is happening regarding which issues and decisions have the deepest impact on taxpayers' lives, pocketbooks and safety. As an independent, nonprofit site news service NancyOnNorwalk's first and only allegiance is to the reader.
Nancy came to Norwalk in September 2010 and, after reporting on Norwalk for two years for another company, launched NancyOnNorwalk.com with her husband Mark Chapman so they could engage in journalism the way it was meant to be done. Sadly Mark, a career journalist and NoN editor, died in 2016.
Nancy kept at it, and her team has grown to include a volunteer Board of Directors plus freelance writers, editors, and videographers dedicated to covering Norwalk.

This morning we had a hoar frost. I'd never heard of this until earlier this month. It's somewhat unusual, and now we've had two of them in three weeks.
As soon as Greg called and told me how beautiful it was outside I threw on some shoes and went out to take photos. As you can see by the fact that my house is in the background, I didn't get any further than my front yard before I found beautiful scenery.
My neighbors,<|fim_middle|> Center and I couldn't resist sharing my discovery with them.
Dillon Nature Center was amazingly beautiful.
I love snow and it has extra meaning for me these days. We all went our separate ways and I think everyone found some great photos.
Finding color in the landscape was a challenge.
It was a day for being thankful to be alive.
Greg has written a post with beautiful photos from the hoar frost earlier this month, and explains how it happens.
Something I've found when cleaning out closets or household "extras" is that if I know the boxes or bags are going to go to a goodwill place or another person, I am far more willing to give things up than I am if I've no one to give the excess to and it's only going to go to the dump. I hate to see perfectly usable things go to the dump! But if there's any chance someone else might wear my used clothing or keep my extra teapot, I can be far more generous with my clutterbusting.
It is better to think of others getting use out of things. But, I try to be careful about just tossing things that really are past their usefulness for another person - paint clothes and such. But... yes... others getting use from things is positive encouragement. | Bob and Ruth, weren't home, but I wandered over to their yard to take more photos, including this leaf.
On one of the trees in their front yard I spotted this little bit of seemingly free-standing frost. We speculate it's actually built on part of a spider web.
Greg and Sharon came over to see if I wanted to go out to Dillon Nature | 73 |

The Government Prevent strategy started in July 2015, where all schools (as well as other organisations), have a duty to safeguard children from radicalisation and extremism. This means all schools have responsibility to protect children from extremist and violent views, in the same way we protect children from drugs or gang violence. Importantly, schools can provide a safe place for pupils to discuss these issues, so that they better understand how to protect themselves.
Radicalisation refers to the process by which a person comes to support terrorism and forms of extremism. There is no single way of identifying an individual who is likely to be susceptible to an extremist ideology. From July 2015 all schools are subject to a duty under section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act of 2015, to have 'due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism', known as the 'Prevent Duty.'
Atherton High School is committed to providing a secure environment for pupils and staff, where all children feel safe. All adults working in our school, regardless of their role, recognise that safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, whether they have direct or indirect contact with young people.
The following definitions create clarity when discussing radicalisation and extremism:
Ideology – a set of beliefs.
Radicalisation – the process by which a person comes to support terrorism and forms of extremism leading to terrorism.
Extremism – a vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values; including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.
Terrorism – an action that endangers or causes serious violence, damage or disruption and is intended to influence the Government or to intimidate the public and is made with the intention of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause.
When applying this guidance we use the following accepted Government definition of extremism which is:
'Vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs; and/or calls for the death of members of our armed forces, whether in this country or overseas.'

In order to fulfil this responsibility effectively, all practitioners should make sure their approach is child-centred. This means that they should consider, at all times, what is in the best interests of the child and be aware that children includes everyone under the age of 18.
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined as:
protecting children from maltreatment;
preventing impairment of children's mental and physical health or development;
ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and
taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.
Child Protection is a key aspect of safeguarding which is concerned with protecting children from abuse and maltreatment, and involves working with social care and/or the police when a child is deemed to be at risk of significant harm. There are 4 categories of abuse (click on each for definition):
Some of the signs of abuse and/or problematic mental health include the following indicators. However, it should be remembered that there may be a perfectly innocent explanation for any of these and it is important not to jump to conclusions. To this end our Pastoral and Safeguarding Teams will take any concerns seriously but ensure any enquiries are made in a sensitive manner:
Changes in appearance including personal hygiene and weight loss
Bruises and injuries, and evidence of pain or discomfort
Clingy and/or fearful behaviour
Changes in eating habits
Uncharacteristic and/or secretive behaviour
Problems with peer groups
Changes in sleep patterns
Self-harming behaviour
Talk about suicide and/or death
Changes in mood including prolonged anxiety, stress, fearfulness, being easily prone to tearfulness and/or tendency to overreact
Loss of interest in social events and/or hobbies
Deterioration of attention span and/or restlessness
Evidence of age-inappropriate sexual knowledge
Many of the above may also be signs of problematic mental health. Atherton High School is committed to being alert to signs of abuse and/or problematic mental health and intervening early to safeguard children's safety, welfare and wellbeing.

Nielsen: Univision hits a TV ratings milestone
DAVID BAUDERSeptember 9, 2010 GMT
NEW YORK (AP) — Univision was the most popular network among television viewers aged 18 to 49 years old last week, the first time a Spanish-language station has beaten English stations in this key demographic in the United States.
Soap operas reaching key points in their stories combined with a desultory week of reality and reruns at the English broadcast networks made the milestone possible.
On television, the 18-to-49-year-old demographic is considered so important to advertisers that ABC, NBC and Fox pay more attention to these ratings than they do for viewership as a whole.
Compared to the other broadcasters, Univision's audience is markedly younger. Last week, 2.1 million of Univision's prime-time average of 3.8 million viewers were in that youthful demographic, the Nielsen Co. said. By contrast, 1.8 million of CBS' 5.7 million viewers were in this group.
Univision has made a conscious decision to go after these viewers, said Cesar Conde, president of Univision Networks. In some cases, that means supporting programming that would be familiar to English-speaking viewers: a reality series "Desafio: La Gran Batalla" ("The Challenge: The Big Battle") is popular now, and a celebrity dance competition is coming in the fall.
How (and where) to watch Oscar-nominated films online
Oscar snubs, surprises: No female directors, 'Babylon' bust
Golden Globes telecast draws near record-low audience
Its backbone, however, is the prime-time soap operas, known as telenovelas, that run five times a week. One episode of the 9 p.m. telenovela, "Soy tu Duena" ("I'm Your Owner"), finished among Nielsen's top 20 among all viewers last week.
In that show, the character Valentina Villalba, who found love again after being abandoned at the altar, saw her new love come face to face with her ex-fiance.
In the 8 p.m. show, "Hasta Que El Dinero Nos Separe" ("Until the Money Separates Us"), a woman plans to ask her husband for a divorce because she suspects him of infidelity. She wants to marry a man who had earlier caused the couple to be injured in an auto accident.
"The Hispanic demographic connects with this type of programming because of its cultural relevancy," Conde said. "Viewers at the end of the day want to watch high-quality programming that they connect with, regardless of language."
Univision also telecast a popular soccer game involving national teams from Mexico and Ecuador.
In July, Univision beat all the broadcast networks for the month among viewers aged <|fim_middle|>,000 and Estrella 180,000 (both 0.1, 0).
News ratings were up markedly with Hurricane Earl threatening the East Coast. NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 8 million viewers (5.3, 11). ABC's "World News" was second with 7 million (4.7, 10) and the "CBS Evening News" had 5.4 million viewers (3.6, 8).
A ratings point represents 1,159,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 115.9 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
For the week of Aug. 30-Sept. 5, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "America's Got Talent" (Tuesday), NBC, 11.5 million; "America's Got Talent" (Wednesday), NBC, 10.47 million; "Two and a Half Men," CBS, 9.14 million; "The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 8.92 million; "NCIS," CBS, 8.17 million; "Big Brother 12″ (Wednesday), CBS, 7.87 million; "NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS, 7.84 million; "Big Brother 12″ (Sunday), CBS, 7.19 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 7.05 million; "Wipeout" (Tuesday), ABC, 6.93 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox and My Network TV are units of News Corp. NBC and Telemundo are owned by General Electric Co. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks. TeleFutura is a division of Univision. Azteca America is a wholly owned subsidiary of TV Azteca S.A. de C.V.
http://www.nielsenmedia.com | 18 to 34, Nielsen said. With a growing Latino population and that youthful audience, last week's milestone could become commonplace.
Also last week, the Disney Channel's "Camp Rock 2," about a group of teen friends and band mates at camp, was seen by 8 million viewers, making it the most-watched cable TV movie of the year so far. It was the most-watched program for a Friday night in six months for broadcast or cable, Nielsen said.
CBS' 5.7 million prime-time viewership average (3.7 rating, 7 share) led the broadcast networks last week. NBC averaged 5.2 million (3.3, 6), ABC had 4.7 million (2.9, 5), Fox had 3.6 million (2.3, 4), ION Television had 1.3 million (0.8, 2) and the CW had 980,000 (0.6, 1).
Univision's 3.8 million average (1.9 rating, 3 share) easily led the Spanish-language networks. Telemundo averaged 810,000 and TeleFutura 730,000 (both 0.4, 1), Azteca had 210 | 279 |

White also was lauded for his local philanthropy. White says he could initially only afford a few film classes at the school, but they inspired his craft.
The 43-year-old White has earned multiple Grammy awards and nominations both as a solo artist and as a member of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. In its earliest gigs in 1999, The White Stripes played WSU's Student Center.

Shock Waves: Tourists Shouldn't Play with Wet Dead Things
Ahhh, zombies. I love em, and I know you probably do, too. Back in the early 70s, before everything that could have been done WAS done, low budget movies were mixing it up left and right. I envision it as a time of wild creativity in horror films, but it's probably closer to the truth to say that people were doing it in the name of exploitation, jumbling ideas around in an attempt to find a marketable, cheaply made product. Still, it's always a pleasure to watch a movie that you think is gonna really suck, and then suddenly you find that it's gotten under your skin somehow. Such is the case with "Shock Waves", a nifty little drive-in movie about a small group of tourists on a pleasure cruise who find themselves marooned on an island and stalked by a horde of zombies--in particular, undead gogglefaced Nazi soldiers intent on their swift execution.
In the grand 70s Doom tradition, "Shock Waves" opens with a flashback narration, similar to "Let's Scare<|fim_middle|> of dread, but this one comes to mind immediately.
The doomy synth score is a memorable aspect of "Shock Waves", too. While it consists of only a few themes and riffs repeated through the movie, it contributes perfectly to the bleak atmosphere. And also, could I geek out just a little bit over the fact that both John Carradine and PETER CUSHING are in this movie? Their roles, especially Carradine's, are really nothing more than guest appearances, but it's enough to lend the movie some much-needed credibility that a totally anonymous cast might have had trouble with. In the case of Cushing, it's amusing that "Shock Waves" appeared in theaters the same year he was also on screen in a movie called "Star Wars".
Nurse? Bring me my makeup....
Welcome to the Hotel Calishockwaves

Shock Waves: Tourists Shouldn't Play with Wet Dead... | Jessica to Death". The heroine in this case is Rose, played by none other than one of my all-time genre heroines, Brooke Adams. Rose is one of four tourists on a small chartered yacht, captained by none other than John Carradine. There's also a groovy 70s first mate named Chuck, who's a perfect romantic interest for Rose. Before anything much can happen though, the group experiences a strange solar phenomenon where everything turns orange. Maybe it was that brown acid. Chuck and the Captain lose control of their navigation devices, and they eventually have to admit that they're completely lost. After the sun goes down, the yacht is sideswiped by a huge ship that comes out of nowhere in the darkness, and the yacht is stranded on a reef.
The next morning, the crew and passengers are forced to evacuate the yacht after they discover it's taking on water. Taking the small lifeboat to a nearby island, they find the body of their captain in the water, presumably after drowning while checking the underside of the boat. After exploring the island, they find an abandoned hotel, and quickly discover they're not alone. Living on the island is a hermit (Peter Cushing) with a German accent (would this make him a Germit?), who is alarmed to hear of the appearance of the ship. His concern is for a very good reason: the return of the wrecked ship means there are now a whole lot of zombies in the waters around the island. He eventually confesses that he's a former SS Commander, marooned on the island since World War II. He was in charge of a squadron of experimental zombies known as the Death Corps; soldiers not living and not dead, not needing to breathe or eat, and able to kill human beings with their bare hands. When Germany lost the war, he sank the warship and quickly settled into his new role in life in exile. As a Germit.
The zombies converge on the island and begin their stalking. The early victims get picked off when they're alone, but as the number of breathing people on the island dwindles, the zombies become more bold and chase down their prey. Fans of cannibal zombies will be disappointed, as these dead guys aren't hungry, they only want to murder the hell out of you. They're not Romero zombies at all, as they're clearly intelligent and have articulated movements. Silent and creepy as hell, they're a truly frightening group with gray wrinkled skin and black goggles that give them an eyeless effect as well. The zombies like to hide under the water until you pass nearby, then grab you and pull you under until the bubbles stop.
Peter Freakin' Cushing!!!
Released in 1977, "Shock Waves" was actually created and filmed in 1975, which has got to make it the first "Nazi zombie" movie ever. The dreamlike atmosphere of the film is bolstered by the strange gaps in the narrative. Where other movies want to talk you to death, "Shock Waves" is unusually quiet. There are no conventional introductions to the characters, the story just starts as if we already know who these people are. The orange solar phenomenon, which coincides with the reappearance of the German ship, remains bizarre and unexplained throughout the entire film. It almost seems as if important character development or plot exposition was edited out of the film in post-production. The director, Ken Wiederhorn, makes the most of the Florida setting, focusing on weird isolated locations to create a disorienting environment for the characters. A lot of the action takes place in shallow tributaries and glassy pools of water surrounded by lush green vegetation, bizarre gray brush, and weird looking sea life. The abandoned hotel is an amazing location too; I can't imagine a better place to live in exile. Minus the zombies, of course.
Nazi Zombie, or Backup Dancer for Lady Goggle?
"Shock Waves" also has a lot of the creativity that's often forced by a low budget. In one of the movie's creepiest moments, just after the yacht has been stranded on a coral reef after nearly colliding with the ghost ship, the passengers all gather on the deck and peer out into the darkness, hoping to see what they could have wrecked into. The Captain sends up a flare, and it momentarily illuminates the hulking German ship, now looking like nothing more than the skeletal remains of what was once a seafaring vessel.
John Carradine, doing that John Carradine eyebrow thing
The underwater shots of the dead soliders are very creepy. The first time we see one, he's walking along the metal framework of the rusted ship, across the ocean floor. I felt uncomfortable watching it, mostly because one unbroken shot shows him walking through a strange underwater landscape of coral and vegetation, and I kept thinking "That actor has got to breathe sooner or later!"
Sometimes the shots of the zombies don't connect all that well with those of the actors reacting to them, as if the cast were not all together at the same time. There's some disorienting editing and meandering passages that seem to indicate padding, mostly with shots of the zombies appearing on screen, but I think it could have been an attempt to suggest many more zombies than were actually there. It creates a weird, hypnotic atmosphere to the film that goes well with the hazy sun-bleached cinematography. There aren't many movies where outdoor daytime photography with a lot of sunlight creates an atmosphere | 1,132 |

COMPANY OF KINSMEN: ENTERPRISE AND COMMUNITY IN SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY 1700-1940
Edited by Tirthankar Roy
Oxford University Press, New Delhi, 2010, pp. xiii+252, Rs. 695.00
VOLUME XXXIV NUMBER 6 June 2010
Tirthankar Roy has set out 'to write an economic history of institutional change in South Asia'. A major theme in economic history is the institutional framework in which trade and commercial activities were carried on in pre-colonial societies. A legal system that guarantees security of property rights and enforcement of contracts is generally held to be a prerequisite for the conduct of business. Prior to colonial rule, India evidently lacked such a legal system, and yet had a thriving culture of internal and overseas trade and a highly complex commercial structure. Roy begins with the observation that the organization of social as well as economic groups as 'cooperative communities' was the institutional framework that made this extensive, complex system work. Roy calls this formation the 'endogamous guild', a 'form of association (which) was more commonly found in early modern India than anywhere else in the world . . .' based on ties of marriage and kinship. Institutional economics has moved away from the notion that the pursuit of individual rationality is the most efficient way to maximize economic performance and growth, and recognizes that collectives which framed and enforced the rules of doing business in the past resulted in greater efficiency. Roy points out that this was particularly so because members of cooperative bodies had symmetric access to information, while individuals did not. He also adds that these collectives were not just a business model and have to be understood in the context of their political, social and cultural moorings. Since professional and occupational groups were also related through ties of birth and marriage, 'rules about professional relationship . . . overlapped with rules about social interaction.' Roy does caution that not all professional guilds in India were endogamous groups; however the latter was dominant in the organization of economic activity. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, these collectives were gradually becoming irrelevant. With the rapid development of the economic power of the West and globalization, the traditional forms of maintaining business relationships were inadequate. Also, Roy points out, the basis of entrepreneurship changed from risk-minimizing to risk-taking. This process of change across various segments of the economy is the main theme of the book. The use of the term 'endogamous group' in the context of Indian society immediately suggests a reference to caste. Roy, however, points out that there were many other non-Hindu merchant communities in India like | 572 |

Print quality, operability and low-waste efficiency were key factors in the press selection, according to Mollie Hoertling, executive vice president of Project Management for the Church of Scientology. Goss Automatic Transfer technology will also enable language changes for various products to be completed on-the-fly, without stopping the press.
"With the automation and efficiency breakthroughs in offset technology, it makes sense for us to establish an in-house offset facility to produce our promotion and marketing publications," explains Hoertling. "We planned this project very thoroughly and the Goss system was the best choice based on print quality, the Sunday press automation, and therefore its ease of operation - all of which fit our diverse production requirements."
Goss International will supply a Contiweb FD paster, an Ecocool dryer and Autoplate fully automatic plate changing technology with the six-unit Sunday 2000 system at the Church of Scientology printing facility. The Goss Web Center digital workflow package will manage automated presetting and control of the new press to minimize waste, makeready time and operator effort. A PCF-1 pinless combination folder will produce magazine, tabloid, digest, delta and chopped delta product formats. The press will also be equipped with a sheeter.
"While this is a highly advanced press, the ability of our crews to be able to get up to speed quickly and maximize its performance was a very important factor in the selection process," explains Hoertling. "The technology itself, the automation features and the track record of Goss International in supporting similar start-ups give us a lot of confidence."

Romney's stand on ethanol subsidies "pretty strong stuff"
October 21, 2011 By O. Kay Henderson
Republican candidate Mitt Romney says he's "enough of a business guy" to want to review farm programs and federal price supports for corn and soybeans before saying what he would do as president.
"I'm not running for office based on making promises of handing out money, all right?" Romney said in Iowa Thursday.
Romney made his comments in Treynor, during a roundtable<|fim_middle|> fuel has a ripple effect on the rural economy.
"In our facility, we have 46 people that work directly at the plant, but each day we receive over 100 semis of corn," Schwark said. "Those are trucks. Each have a truck driver."
Romney said he supported federal subsidies for ethanol to help get the industry on its feet, but the subsidies shouldn't continue forever, according to Romney. Ward Chambers, a doctor who lives — and farms — in rural Treynor, called that a gutsy stand for Romney.
"No more ethanol subsidies," Chambers said. "That's pretty strong stuff for southwest Iowa."
The federal subsidy for ethanol production is set to expire at the end of the year. Romney indicated he would like to see more a more gradual reduction in the tax break rather than an abrupt elimination.
During an August visit to Iowa, Romney said he hoped to do "darned well" in the Caucuses. Yesterday in Treynor Romney began his conversation with the folks his campaign had invited to the event in Treynor like this: "There's a good shot I might become the next president of the United States. It's not a sure thing, but it's a good shot and if I am, I will benefit by having heard from you."
Romney made three stops in Iowa Thursday, beginning in Sioux City and ending in Council Bluffs, where he met with about three dozen members of the Chamber of Commerce.

Peter Thiel is the PayPal billionaire with a reputation for using his wealth to enact melodramatic schemes, like injecting the blood of young people in order to prolong his own youth, or shutting down Gawker Media by secretly funding wrestler Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against the gossip site for violating his privacy (the latter was a success, the former we'll have to wait and see about). He's devoted a lot of resources to what he's referred to as a "fight" against death itself, and a new book makes public a particularly outlandish investment he made to fight not his own mortality, but to resurrect an entire extinct species – the woolly mammoth.
The book is called Woolly: The True Story of the Quest to Revive One of History's Most Iconic Extinct Creatures, by Ben Mezrich, and according to The Guardian it says Thiel gave $100,000 to Harvard University genomics professor, George Church, in 2015 for the wake-up-Woolly project. Thiel has declined to comment on the investment (no surprise given his secretive inclinations), but Church confirmed it, telling the paper that over a breakfast meeting Thiel told him he was interested in funding "the crazi<|fim_middle|> to the world that death can be defeated, as long as one doesn't go on a Jurassic Park style rampage. | est thing" Church was working on. Church gave him three options: Research into gene therapy treatments to battle aging, an experiment to build an artificial intelligence system using human neurons, or bringing the woolly mammoth back to life using DNA extracted from frozen dead mammoths, and to genetically modify cells of a living elephant. For some reason, he chose the mammoth experiment, and wrote Church a check for $100,000.
"I've always had this really strong sense that death was a terrible, terrible thing. Most people end up compartmentalizing, and they are in some weird mode of denial and acceptance about death, but they both have the result of making you very passive. I prefer to fight it."
Bringing back the woolly mammoth would send a pretty strong signal | 162 |

World - General | Turchin uses his expertise in evolutionary biology to offer a bold new theory about the course of world history.
Turchin argues that the key to the formation of an empire is a society's capacity for collective action. He demonstrates that high levels of cooperation are found where people have to band together to fight off a common enemy, and that this kind of cooperation led to the formation of the Roman and Russian empires, and the United States. But as empires grow, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, conflict replaces cooperation, and dissolution inevitably follows. Eloquently argued and rich with historical examples, War and Peace and War offers a bold new theory about the course of world history with implications for nations today.

Perhaps one of the most recognizable subway systems in the world, London's Underground is <|fim_middle|> subway stations around London, according to Slate. During both world wars, London's subway system was used as shelters during air raids. Post-wars, the massive system continued to expand farther outside central London.
And, with an ambitious 2020 vision for the Underground, it's safe to say this renowned subway system will continue to expand to serve the millions of daily riders.
So, when in London, do what the Londoners do. I took a ride on the oldest subway system in the world — and it was honestly pretty wonderful. | 249 miles of public transit, much of which is hidden beneath the world-famous city.

By comparison, New York City's subway system has 36 lines, 472 stations, and 1.76 billion annual riders.
The history of London's gadai bpkb mass transit system dates back to the mid-1800s with the construction and subsequent opening of the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first underground railway.

By the early 1900s, the Underground had begun to operate electrically and the iconic UNDERGROUND signs appeared outside | 207 |

The University of Saskatchewan will formally announce its new Huskie Athletics board of trustees today, nearly six months after the previous group resigned en masse .
Just like the previous board, the new set of community trustees carries broad name recognition: longtime hockey coach Dave King said yes when U of S president Peter Stoicheff phoned to ask if he'd come on board, as did former Saskatchewan Roughriders president/CEO Jim Hopson and 10-time Paralympics medallist Colette Bourgonje.
King, Hopson, Bourgonje among those named to new Huskie Athletics board of trustees Back to video
The previous group, a high-achieving lot headed by David Dube, resigned in a dispute over whether their role was advisory or carried more managerial clout.
Stoicheff stresses that the board's role is to act as advisers, but that he attaches great significance to that role.
"(There was) a lot of enthusiasm. Everybody I phoned wanted to be on that board," Stoicheff said Tuesday.
The new board includes these seven community members:
King, who played with and coached the Huskies hockey team, later embarked on an international career that saw him work as a national-team and Olympic bench boss as well as at the NHL level and overseas.
Hopson spent 10 seasons as the Roughriders' president and CEO, is a Canadian Football Hall of Fame inductee as a builder, and played four seasons with the Riders before embarking on a 30-year teaching and administration career.
Bourgonje was the first person in a wheelchair to graduate from the U of S physical-education program, and is the only Canadian woman to compete in both the winter and summer Paralympics.
Scott Banda is the chief executive officer of Federated Co-Op and a graduate of the U of S.
Bob Fawcett, a longtime local volunteer, was inducted into the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame as a builder in 2016.
Catherine Gryba, a U of S alumnus, is in charge of CRG Strategies, worked for the City of Saskatoon for 34 years, and serves on various city and provincial boards.
Dr. Peter Spafford specializes in head and neck surgery and is a clinical professor at the U of S, with a wide range of community and national involvements. He captained the Huskie men's hockey team under King in the 1980s.
The board also includes five university members: College of Arts and Science dean Peta Bonham-Smith, associate vice-president of services Wade Epp, Huskie Athletics chief athletics officer<|fim_middle|> the many things we're involved with."
The previous board — introduced as a new model, and the only one of its kind in Canada, in September 2016 — included Dube, a local businessman and former football player who had been a longtime supporter of Huskie Athletics, along with U.S. Steel chairman David Sutherland, Oilers Entertainment Group chief operating officer Tom Anselmi, elite athlete and administrator Diane Jones Konihowski, public-relations and marketing expert Ken Juba, and accountant and Order of Canada recipient Shelley Brown.
Dube called their resignations "a civilized non-confidence vote" after what they said was a diminishment of their role and influence on Huskie Athletics.

Huskie Athletics unveils new direction
Hockey coach Dave King is ready for retirement — or maybe not | Dave Hardy, College of Kinesiology dean Chad London, and vice president of university relations Debra Pozega Osburn.
The board will meet three times yearly, starting in February, for a full day each time. Stoicheff expects the group to bring a wide range of contributions: Bourgonje, for example, can mentor student-athletes while helping those at the boardroom level understand some of the things athletes go through.
"We also need people who can advise us on identifying revenue to support student-athlete scholarships, program initiatives, facility development, helping out with the Huskie Athletics alumni and patron communities, building partnerships within the community …," Stoicheff says, while adding that improving game-day experiences and working on branding of Huskies merchandise is also a matter of consideration.
"Those are all things that are really important for us to be able to do, but I would say we don't necessarily have expertise in," he adds. "That's not in the wheelhouse, typically, of a university organization. And one of the things that's always been important to me as a president, is to make sure the university is externally facing, and is listening to people outside the university about how we can improve | 246 |

Hill praises Cards after important away victory
Garry Hill has paid tribute to his player's following an impressive second half performance that saw The Cards extend their unbeaten start to the season with a win over Wrexham.
Striker Scott Rendell's 25-yard curling effort put the visitors ahead against the run of play at<|fim_middle|>rexham
Next Next post: Getting to know the opposition – Lincoln City | the Racecourse Ground but the hosts pegged The Cards back with a goal from Louis Moult before the break.
A well struck shot from the edge of the six-yard box just after the hour mark from Woking's Dean Morgan was enough to give the away side a narrow victory and elevate them to 4th in the table.
Woking manager Hill talked of his relief of going in level at half-time and was delighted with the response from his players. He told BBC Surrey:
"It was a relief to come in at one each. I didn't think we had played to the standard which we have been showing recently. We had a little chat at half-time and sorted a few things out and in the second half I think it was a different Woking.
Woking manager, Garry Hill
"It was a big result, but we came here confident. We have been playing very well this season and we are unbeaten, it was a good time to come here and play Wrexham, we have a lot of confidence at the moment.
"On the second half display we definitely deserved the three points."
Rendell's opener was his fifth goal in two games and Hill belives he could be a crucial player this season:
"He has now scored seven so far in our first six games. If we can keep him fit and he gets the service then he will get goals."
Morgan, whose second half striker sealed the three points for Woking, has made a good impression with the Cards' manager since arriving at the club. Hill stated:
"I enjoy working with him. He is a rebel, but you have them in football, but he isn't a bad lad at all. He wants to do it for me, Thommo, the rest of the lads and the club."

Faith, Hope, And Your Life's Purpose - LynFit Nutrition - Lisa Lynn Fitness - Live the Leaner Lifestyle!
Two years ago seemed like the darkest hour of my life. I had no idea that a diagnosis would teach me how to live life to the fullest. I didn't, couldn't, realize at that time that I would opt for a fighter's mentality instead of a defeated one. I couldn't comprehend until I was actually in the trenches that my life WAS worth fighting for, if for no other reason than my family. I had yet to learn that no day should be taken for granted and each should be treated as a precious hand-delivered gift from God.
In 2014, at just 46-years old, my dreams were suddenly eclipsed by the cold, hard reality of three words: "You've got cancer." Thankfully, my melanoma was caught early, but try telling that to inner fear. Try rationalizing that during repeated visits to doctors, surgeons, and oncologists. After all, just like you, I'm human with human emotions, feelings, fears, and limitations. Facing my mortality, I developed a very personal relationship with my very own pity potty. All I wanted to do was shut it down and hide from the world.
Dragging myself to church was the beginning of my personal renewal of Faith, Hope, and Life's Purpose. My Pastor Rich delivered a sermon that hit me right in my self-pity heart. His words reminded me that I was on the verge of the biggest testimony in my life. I was on the threshold of a battle in the trenches of my emotions and feelings that would, in the end, produce a warrior of Faith, Hope, and Purpose. It was time for me to focus on living, receiving support where and when needed, and being that positive spirit to those around me that God called me many years ago to be.
Each and every day I CHOSE to work tirelessly on my physical, mental, and spiritual (PMS) health. My testimony is that today I am two years cancer-free! I refuse to say I'm a survivor. I am doing so much more than just surviving—I am thriving. So rather than say I'm a cancer survivor, I say I'm a cancer thriver, and grateful for it.
Power Prayer: God is my strength and my all in all. I get on my knees and pray every day. I thank Him for another day, and I count my blessings one by one. I pray that God keeps me alive and healthy, so that I may be an instrument of his peace. My goal is to help millions.
I focus on Philippians 4:13 — "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
"When you're at your lowest, look to the highest."
Eating Healthy and Exercising: You have to eat healthy and take control of your mind and body. For the first time in my life, my focus is on eating healthy to stay alive, versus gaining the perfect body. That changes everything.
I changed my diet to a cancer<|fim_middle|>. It's not my favorite emotion, but it can bring out the best in me. There is nothing like the possibility of death to make you start living and to teach you what's important.
