I have a degree in English and Theatre. I am a woman of imagination. I value books more than I value cupcakes (which is a big deal), and I am in awe of people who can come up with incredible words and scenarios that delight thousands of people the world over. And yet… And yet, the thought of pretending to make two LEGO guys talk to each other about ninja school makes me want to cry. I don’t know what the deal is — I used to do okay playing make-believe games with my kids — but I’m pretty sure we’ve reached the expiration date on my “imagination play” stockpile. I promise you, I have the appropriate levels of mom-guilt over this, but I just can’t do it anymore. So, thankfully, a few years ago, we started accumulating board games. It may not seem like anything monumental, but board games have been the gateway to family quality time that doesn’t involve making a My Little Pony rescue a Minecraft pig from an impending imaginary doom. You get to sit down with your family, use strategy, enjoy yourself (usually), and drop the parenting-guilt. Now, finding board games that accommodate varying age ranges is not always the easiest, which is why I’m here to help with another listicle about kids entertainment! 1. Spot It and Loonacy Spot and Loonancy technically aren’t board games, but card games. That being said, they still provide the same benefits I mentioned before. What’s cool about them, though, is that they rely on picture matching for game play. This means that younger kids (my youngest was playing them at 4 years old) can get in on the fun without too much frustration. And while picture matching might sound childish and boring, the games are set up to be just as fun for adults as they are for kids. 2. Sequence and Sequence for Kids Both Sequence and Sequence for Kids are family favorites around here. The basic object is to get 4 or 5 tokens (depending on which version) in a row on the game board. You are dealt and draw cards in order to place your tokens. The original version uses 2 decks of regular playing cards, while the kids’ version uses pictures of animals with fun names. While the kids version is definitely simpler, it’s a great way to prepare kids for the original when they get a little older. Basically, the kids version is very near to frustration-free, which is a TOTAL WIN when you’re dealing with both a 3 year old and a 6 year old at the same time. 3. Sushi Go I love love love love love Sushi Go… and I’m not the only one. My kids love it, their grandma loves it, my husband loves it… we love it. It’s categorized as a “pick and pass” game, which means that each player picks a card from their hand and keeps it before passing the rest of the hand to the next person. The goal is to make different sushi combinations for the most points. And let me tell you, the little sushis have faces on them and are so adorable I can barely handle it. My youngest has been playing since she was early 4 years old, and was able to get a solid grasp on the gameplay, even if she didn’t really understand the strategy. 4. The Magic Labyrinth The Magic Labyrinth is a recent addition to our collection, and one that I genuinely enjoy playing, even though it’s directed toward younger kids. This game allows you to create a maze out of little wooden pieces on a cardboard grid. You then place a game board over the grid to hide the maze. From here you use memory skills and a magnetic game piece to drag a metal ball through the maze without hitting a hidden wooden piece and losing the ball. The game is doable for kids ages 5 and up, but also challenging and fun for an adult. With severe weather season offering the possibility of power outages and basement time, as well as a summer full of hot days on its way, a healthy, fun board game collection can be the perfect antidote to cabin fever. And, while these games are available on Amazon and other online outlets, I encourage you to call your local game store first and see if they have one of them in stock. Small-scale game stores are magical places, and need our support!
Journal Entry #37 NORFOLK, CONN., JULY 15— For no obvious reason at all, I share a simple pleasure on a very fine Sunday afternoon. If there is a thought behind it that fits into words, it is only that we must never lose sight of what it is we honor as right and bright and good in life—what makes effort worth the effort—or forget our blessings. Fail to hold these ever in mind and you are done. This takes 2 minutes, 51 seconds: THERE IS AN INTERESTING STORY behind the lyric, if you have paused to listen. Not much detail, but good enough as we have it. It was written in the 1940’s by one Eden Ahbez. Ahbez seems to have been an early Beat. It seems he traveled extensively, including long journeys in Asia—the Ginsberg–Gary Snyder scene, the truths of the East, before Ginsberg and Snyder and all the others got there. When he returned, Ahbez settled in Los Angeles—to be precise, in the bushes beneath the famous HOLLYWOOD sign. There he dwelt. There, so far as I can make out (and I have not done a lot of work on this), he wrote the lyric he called Nature Boy. Somehow or other Nat Cole saw it. I think his chauffeur got hold of it and passed it to him—one story I have read. Nat was knocked out, and who can wonder: The world in a couple of hundred words. Cole asked to meet him, was taken along, and afterward set the lyric to music. You have just heard the result. It was recorded in 1947 and came out in ’48. Something I thought to onpass.
As we go through life, God changes us through the grace of forgiveness in Christ so we can in turn love others. King Saul chose to turn his back on God and go his own way. When his enemies surrounded him, he was afraid and sought to know the future through a medium. But God told him that he would die in battle and spend eternity in hell for rejecting God's grace.

\|\|Accelerator designed mainly for graphic work Chung Leong < cleong728 at gmail dot com > \|\|QB stands for "Quick Binary." It's a PHP extension designed to enable faster handling of binary data. It takes a function written in PHP and translate it for a specialized virtual machine. The use of static type information leads significantly higher performance than under PHP's regular dynamic type system. A PHP+QB function can run anywhere from five to twenty times faster than regular PHP code. For even higher level of performance, one can compile PHP+QB functions to native code (on supported platforms). QB performs code translation on a per-function basis. It does not affect in anyway code not specially marked. Interaction between PHP+QB functions and regular PHP code is basically seamless. A key design objective of QB is to let developers harness greater processing power than what baseline PHP offers without the risk involved in adopting a brand new platform.

Our first add-in function, NORMSDIST2(), was very simple to implement. Our next example is a little more complex. The inverse function, NORMSINV2(), can fail if the input is not between 0 and 1 (exclusive). In Excel, this failure is represented by the error type #NUM!. Our next task is to use the XLL+ Function Wizard to generate a function that returns either a number or an error, depending on whether it is successful. Make sure that Developer Studio is open and that Tutorial1 is the active project. Open or activate the file Tutorial1.cpp. Use the New XLL+ Function item on the Tools menu to start the Function Wizard. In the Add New Function dialog, fill in the name, NORMSINV2, and click OK. In the XLL+ Function Wizard, fill in the category and description of the function as follows: Return type: CXlOper Category: Statistical Description: Returns the inverse of the standard normal cumulative distribution. The distribution has a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one.
A question was: what would a lamp look like if it were a light switch? The letter L, or a Tetris-derived shape, of the item with a rounded corner makes it possible to change its position from one side to the other easily with only one touch. The item does not have one base and its position depends on whether it produces light, or not. The switch is located in one of the bases and the light is turned on with the use of the lamps weight. When this base becomes the side of the lamp, the light is turned off.
Black History Month is a time of revering past and present trailblazers of the African diaspora in all communities and professional fields. Attending a historically black college or university is like walking in a living textbook where many of these pioneers studied and jump-started their careers. Of the 101 HBCUs in the nation, each rooted in a rich black history with a global legacy contributing to the empowerment of all black people, I am privileged to attend the “Mecca” of HBCUs, Howard University, and matriculate in one of the nation’s leading communications programs, the Cathy Hughes School of Communication. While diversity in the industry does not reflect my university or that of any HBCU, here’s how we all can lead like our pioneers and trailblazers. - 1. Study the Trailblazers of Our Color, in Our Field A multitude of “first” black professionals have shifted the paradigm to ensure blacks were not only positively targeted audiences but also influential decision makers. Learning their works will help us appreciate the changes that they made in the industry and inspire us to continue making strides. and advance making strides. Just to name a few: Cathy Hughes,the first African-American woman to head a publicly traded company, Radio One; D. Parke Gibson authored multiple publications on the black consumer market and is remembered with the D. Parke Gibson Pioneer Award, PRSA’s highest distinction in multicultural affairs; Debra A. Miller,the first African-American woman to serve as the president of PRSA. Thanks to this HBCU alumna, the first PRSSA Chapter at an HBCU (my Chapter) was founded: the D. Parke Gibson Chapter at Howard University! - Accept It’s Lonely at the Top … for Now Although Fortune500 companies and the like are seeking diversity from HBCUs, many students of color find they are one of few, if not the only, persons of color in the room. However, do not be discouraged. Experiences like these can later serve as motivation to diversify the fields when we, as aspiring and competent black professionals, are the influential power. - Representation and Mentors It is important to see people who look like us doing the things that we want to do. The beauty of attending an HBCU is the visible presence of professionals in leadership positions like the ones that we all aspire to have. Connect with them and seek their counsel and their guidance; and in addition, their relatability will help both personally and professionally! - The Next Work Is Next to You, so Network Actress Issa Rae pointed out that people do not typically network laterally but instead are focused on networking up the ladder. Your peers are your first network circle; connect and build relationships with them. These are the people that can help you find or create opportunities in the workforce. From the current student body shifting the culture to the alumni breaking industry glass ceilings and the professors whose research has helped and changed lives beyond the diaspora, diversity and inclusion are very much part of the HBCU legacy. This Black History Month, let us remember those who have paved the way for us, and let us confidently go forth and blaze our own paths. Natalie B. Felix is a graduating senior and budding public relations professional studying strategic communications and community development at illustrious Howard University. She is a member of the oldest HBCU PRSSA Chapter, D. Parke Gibson. Connect with Natalie on Twitter @NatalieBe_.
TODAY COLOMBIA – Residents of Medellín’s poorest slums used to be suspicious of strangers. Who in their right minds would be wandering the winding steps up the steep slopes of their neighborhoods, controlled by local criminal gangs so violent that even police feared to go there? Medellín flaunted its makeover as it hosted UN Habitat’s World Urban Forum with tours of futuristic schools and libraries, parks and city cable cars – but some old problems remain Today, the people of the Santo Domingo-Savio neighbourhood have become accustomed to a steady stream of outsiders. The visitors arrive on the cable car public transport system, stroll past modest brick homes and visit the España Library and Park – a potent symbol of the Colombian city’s much lauded transformation from murder capital of the world to model of urban social integration. Last week, hosting the UN Habitat’s World Urban Forum on the future of cities, Medellín organized tours to the schools and libraries, parks and transportation infrastructure that are the most visible signs of the change. The city has earned its bragging rights. Once home to the world’s most notorious and violent drug cartel, headed by Pablo Escobar, Medellín witnessed 6,349 killings in 1991, a murder rate of 380 per 100,000 people. The rate has since fallen more than 80%, thanks in part to a string of innovative mayors who laid out plans to integrate the poorest and most violent hillside neighbourhoods into the city centre in the valley below. A cable car system, linked to the modern and spotless metro, moves tens of thousands of hillside residents each day, dramatically cutting commuting times to the city centre. Futuristic-looking libraries and schools have been set amid the makeshift homes of the underprivileged. And after decades of having to climb hundreds of stairs to their homes, residents of the Comuna 13 district can now ride an escalator 1,300ft up. It’s not just transport: education, social programs and participatory budgets have all been leveraged to transform the lives of the most underprivileged residents in this city of 2.2 million. “The idea has been to bring institutions closer to citizens,” mayor Aníbal Gaviria told the forum. Arley Palomino, 18, says he remembers when just walking to school was an act of bravery. Firefights between gangs could break out at any time. “We were isolated here. The police wouldn’t even dare come,” he says, lounging under a leafy tree next to the España Library with a small group of secondary school students, lulled by the steady hum of cable cars and the heat of the day. Since the MetroCable system was built in 2004 and the library in 2007, things have changed, Palomino says. The gangs are still around but the random violence is gone, he says. There is a constant police presence and residents feel proud of their neighbourhood. “It is in areas that are most abandoned that there is more violence,” says Palomino, who plans to study semiotics at the University of Antioquia. “Today we are no longer abandoned here.” He sweeps his arm toward the España Library. While that library is a symbol of integration, it also bears the signs of the city’s fragility: chunks of plaster are falling from the walls and the facade is in need of major repairs. “Medellín is still a laboratory,” says Jorge Melguizo, an urban planning consultant who headed the city’s civic culture and social development programmes from 2004 to 2010. “It continues to be a very fragile city, and insecurity is still a major problem.” One person who knows that very well is Ramon Carrasco. Every day, he crisscrosses the neighbourhood of San Javier and Vallejuelos selling mazamorra, a traditional corn-based drink that he makes at home. He fled his hometown in the Uraba region of Colombia to join the ranks of Colombia’s 5 million internal refugees. Many of them populate Medellín’s slums. Though a MetroCable line cuts through here and there is a police presence, Carrasco says it’s still gangs that call the shots. The chances of being hit by a stray bullet are much lower than a few years ago, but he is often forced to offer a “contribution” to gang leaders to be able to sell his mazamorra in certain areas. Security analysts say such “micro-extortion” is rampant in Medellín, affecting everyone from shop owners and schoolchildren to bus and taxi drivers. “If a young man who is not from around here comes and starts asking questions and poking around, the gangs will nab him and see what he’s up to,” says Carrasco. “They control the area.” Jerry McDermott, director of InSight Crime, a Medellín-based thinktank on security in Latin America, says that while nobody can deny that Medellín has made extraordinary progress over the past 30 years, the dramatic drop in homicides is not simply attributable to security measures. “There is in effect a pax criminale between rival organisations that control the drug trafficking business in the city,” he says. “They have divided up the territory so the population under the domain of the combos (gangs) are suffering the same if not more than they ever did.” Violence, threats and forced recruitment by gangs forcibly displaced more than 5,000 Medellín residents in the first 10 months of last year, according to the municipal ombudsman’s office. City officials recognize violence and gang control remains a problem in many areas. “But that does not detract from the positive things that have been achieved,” says Melguizo. And big plans lie ahead. The city held an international contest for the design of a vast park to line the banks of the Medellín River, which cuts through city, and buffer parks at the top edges of the city aim to limit further sprawl. Skeptics often wonder if the “Medellín miracle” is more about show than substance. The city has certainly known how to sell itself well internationally, winning international awards for innovation and being named one of the first 33 cities of the Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities project, says Melguizo. But he argues that the most important marketing move has been to sell the idea that transformation is possible to city residents themselves. Almost everywhere you go, you can see the effort has paid off in the pride that residents feel for their city. “Sure there are problems, but I wouldn’t live anywhere else,” says Palomino. “Here we live very well and people come from all over to see us.” Source: The Guardian

Basal Metabolic Rate, usually abbreviated as BMR, shows how many calories a human body should get to maintain normal functioning of its vital organs in a state of complete rest, i.e. without considering physical activity. This figure plays an important role in composing a balanced diet since it determines minimum amount of energy that should be provided to a body for life support. This means that caloric value of a diet should not be lower than BMR specified for a person with the help of BMR Calculator. The calculation is based on the most accurate formula allowing to define BMR rather precisely for every person.
Research & Scholarly Achievement at Gallaudet University Neurobiological Correlates of Phonological Awareness and Reading Outcomes Phonological awareness, the metalinguistic ability to recognize and manipulate phonology of words, is a crucial factor for successful reading in hearing children. Historically, research has focused on increasing deaf learners’ spoken English PA in order to enhance reading outcomes, though a growing body of evidence suggests that sign language skills are a greater predictor of reading proficiency than English PA. To investigate the relationship between ASL proficiency and reading, several studies have explored the effect of sign language PA on reading, finding a positive relationship between the two measures. However, the cognitive mechanisms supporting such a relationship remain unclear. To better understand the relationship between PA and reading, in this study we ask whether the brain systems for PA are tied to the spoken modality or are modality independent and involved in both signed and spoken languages. We use functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neuroimaging to examine how brain systems for phonological awareness are impacted by language modality, age, and reading development in young children. This project has important implications for our understanding of the neurobiology of language and the relationship between language and reading in all children.
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, NIR or NIRS, is considered a superior method assay to traditional ones, which are destructive and also reduce the number of doses for sale. It overcomes these drawbacks by being both rapid and nondestructive, which helps it respond to the pressures in the pharma industry for generating more and more data, which leads to more assays that bring these inevitable downsides.In being responsive to the physical and chemical environment of…See More One of the most common mistakes companies make is using their hand protection program as a guideline rather than enforcing the program throughout the plant.

There are five fundamental marketing activities and these are : Consumer analysis, Product Planning, Price planning, Distribution Planning and Promotion Planning. We will not take a more in-depth look into each of these activities. Consumer Analysis. Consumer analysis simply refers to the evaluation and examination of the consumer purchase processes, needs and characteristics. Remember that the product you are developing is targeted toward a certain demographic. You develop the product with a target market in mind; a target market that you want to purchase the product.

Courtesy Ford hopes you have a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is a wonderful chance to spend time with family and friends. But let’s face it—the preparation can be stressful. It takes a lot of work to put together such a grand feast. The good news is that there are ways to make it easier on yourself. Follow these tips and you’ll be well on your way to a stress-free Thanksgiving dinner. The best advice you can follow is to start planning early. Don’t wait until the week of Thanksgiving to pick your recipes or head to the store. By planning what you’ll make early on, you can take the time to look for the best deals, plus you’ll avoid crowded grocery shopping. Make a Schedule One of the most frustrating things about Thanksgiving cooking is that moment where you realize you need the oven at two temperatures for two foods at the same time. Avoid these conundrums by looking carefully at cooking times before hand. In some cases, you may be able to make certain recipes ahead of time, leaving you room and oven space for the others. You’ll also want to check your turkey situation, as some turkeys need longer to thaw and more time to cook. Take a Breather Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself during this busy day is take a break. Starting the morning with a relaxing cup of coffee or tea rather than diving right in. Or, ask someone else to peel the potatoes while you sit down for a rest. Giving yourself time to reset will keep you feeling good as you move forward with your day. How to Avoid Family Stress at Thanksgiving For many families, holidays are a great time to be together and enjoy each other’s company. But for others, this family togetherness can be a source of stress and contention. Here are a few tips on how to avoid some of this family stress at Thanksgiving. - Pre-plan conversation topics. If you want to steer clear of sensitive topics, like politics and religion, try a conversation game during dinner, where everyone gets to know one another better. Try out these topics and rules from Psych Central. - Make assignments. If people are busy doing a job, they are less likely to cause trouble. For example, if your aunt always complains about the menu, ask her to bring a special dish she loves, or ask the kids to help set the table or put out decorations. - Plan entertainment. Boredom can easily cause problems. Have a stack of games ready to go or suggest other activities, like a pre-dessert walk. - Avoid alcohol. If you have any problem drinkers in your family, let everyone know Thanksgiving will be an alcohol-free event. This might be met with some groans, but if someone who can’t handle a non-alcoholic holiday decides not to come, it might be better in the long run. - Have a seating arrangement. Have placecards written out and assign seats. Be sure to place those who don’t get along well far apart from each other. You can also assign a “peacemaker” to each “troublemaker” to make sure things don’t get out of hand. Do you have any tips on how to avoid Thanksgiving family drama?
Asteroid 2018 WA3, with an estimated diameter between 7.3 and 16 m (24 – 52 feet), flew past Earth at a distance of 0.84 LD / 0.00215 AU (323 131 km / 200 784 miles) on November 28, 2018. This object belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids. It was first observed at Mt. Lemmon Survey, Arizona on November 29, one day after its close approach. However, information about this flyby was released early December 5 (UTC). The asteroid flew past us at a speed of 16.40 km/s (relative to the Earth) at 04:11 UTC. This is the 15th known <1LD asteroid to flyby Earth during the month of November. The only month this year with nearly as much <1LD flybys is September with a total of 13 such flybys. 2018 WA3 is now the 72nd known asteroid to flyby Earth within 1 lunar distance since the start of the year (data valid 08:56 UTC, December 3). Image credit: TW Featured image: The green line indicates the object’s apparent motion relative to the Earth, and the bright green marks are the object’s location at approximately half hour intervals.

Inflammation of the stomach and other disturbances In case of an inflamed stomach, when the biggest pains come up, which are before meals, drink one cup of water, which has been boiled 5-7 times (boil, cool, boil again, cool etc.). Immediately after drinking the water you have to burp multiple times. Regardless itвЂ™s good to use a spoon of wormwood, which is put into hot water for only 3 seconds then itвЂ™ boiled and cooled, then just drink it. To decrease the pains in the stomach, and to stabilize it use wormwood oil. Preparation: Take 30 g of wormwood flowers or leaves and pour 60 ml of pure alcohol, leave for 24 hours, and then pour 1 l of fine white wine. Leave for 10 days and shake and drain often. Drink 1 spoon before meals 3 times a day, upmost to 3 weeks, and then take a 3 week break from it. Against stomach catarrh, use basil along with the flower. Do the same for intestine catarrhs, in cases of cramps, poisoning, vomiting, inflation, constipation. Prepare like the other teas. This disease is connected with the stomach diseases. Use wormwood for this disease as well, which is prepared in the the way stated ahead, drink in sips, best off doing it every hour.
what exactly is “kopi luak?” Some months ago, while listening to NPR on a drive through the streets of Los Angeles one day, Set of Drifter Brady heard an unusual report about a special coffee bean delicacy that was gaining popularity among America’s ever-tenacious caffeinated elite. The story focused on beans from Indonesia that were known stateside as “cat-poop coffee.” from the steep $7 USD price-tag for a cup of the unusual brew ($45 USD for a bag of whole beans), not much detail was recalled about the bean variety until we boarded the plane from Hong Kong to Jakarta on our way to Indonesia in October of 2011. There, inside the chic Cathay Pacific Duty Free catalog was a frilly advertisement for “Luwak Coffee,” a so-called Javanese tradition, and also the same specialty product that was now sweeping through coffee houses of the American West Coast. Pictured alongside the copy was a mischievious-looking creature with beady eyes nibbling on a cadre of red coffee beans. The nocturnal animal is known as the palm civet, a distant cousin of the mongoose. Civet are also the “purveyors,” so to speak, of “kopi luak,” or “cat-poop coffee” (though they more closely resemble skunks than So, how does this all work? Well, this may take a bit of getting used to. You see “kopi luak” is quite literally the coffee beans that are eaten by the civet, passed through its digestive system - in tact - and then discarded out the other end! Yikes. According to local farmers, civets are very picky creatures, and only choose the highest quality beans from coffee plants as they traipse their way through the Javanese highlands each night. Once the upper-echelon beans have made their way through the system of the civet, they can be “farmed” from the ground in cigar-sized stool pellets. In order to, uh, ripen fully, the beans are left to sit for months before they are finally sanitized and ultimately roasted like normal coffee. The entire convoluted process produces what many say is the “best tasting coffee in the world.” Really? We’ll be the judge of that, and judges we were on our plantation tour in Kalibaru (see “sights"). we were not really seeking out “kopi luak” based on the NPR story, or the Duty Free ad, we certainly were not going to turn down an offering, especially if it made to us at the tail-end (no pun intended) of a tour that saw its termination at the personal home of our guide! There, Heru and Herman showed us a couple of baskets of the coffee bean varieties, including robusta, arabica, and yes kopi luak. Heru’s wife arrived shortly thereafter with a pot of coffee at the ready. She served us a few cups accompanied by some delicious pisang goreng. Since Set of Drifters Doug is such a coffee fiend, he dove right in, only discovering after downing the entire cup that our first tasting was the infamous kopi luak!! must admit the flavor of the coffee was smooth, rich and without any of the bitterness you might expect stateside at your local diner. So what gives? Scientific meanderings tell us that the physical enzyme processes that take place within the palm civet’s bowel soften the acidity of the beans and bring out special flavors that would not have existed otherwise. And if the long litany of medical wonders written on a piece of paper handed to us held any truth at all, this stuff is also a wonder drug that can both increase male potency as well as a mother’s ability to produce milk! now you must be pondering exactly what we were after our plantation tour experience. Who came up with this insane idea in the first place? We asked Herman who immediately picked up the slack with his A few hundred years ago the head of East Java’s government supposedly forbade the farming of coffee plants for personal consumption. Because he and his colleagues so enjoyed their “caffeine fix,” they demanded that all beans from the countryside be sent directly to him, leaving none for the average villager. One day, a local farmer noticed palm civet pellets littering his field. The coffee beans encrusted inside were just as obvious as roasted peanuts - if you catch our drift... Since there was no longer any way the farmer could harvest coffee for himself, he decided to clean off, and brew, the soiled beans he found out in the field, beans that the King would surely not desire. And yet one day, on a tour of the countryside, the King passed by the same village and smelled a rich aroma from the kopi luak wafting through the air. It was a scent that was certainly stronger and more well-balanced than his own coffee that had now made its way into the larger towns and cities of East Java. The King asked the local villagers where the smell was coming from and they revealed to him the unusual means by which they were still able to produce coffee. After asking to try the kopi luak, the King liked what he tasted. Still, he was ashamed to admit it, and from then on, imported the beans secretly from the countryside. From then on, kopi luak became a delicacy that only the richest and most prominent East Javanese could obtain. After Herman had finished the entirely plausible story, he admitted that he may have made it up completely! And so the mystery remains... After we purchased a few pounds of beans as presents, our plantation tour guide Heru was kind enough to give us a few extra bags of a kopi luak/ arabica mix that we have yet to find a special occasion for. If you are inclined, kopi luak can be readily purchased throughout East Java at prices well below what you’ll pay for imported beans back home. Set of Drifters tip: You can also find kopi luak at a number of tourist and souvenir shops, marketed in some rather humorous packaging. But buyer beware! The cheaper stuff you find at souvenir shops may not be 100% kopi luak, or as a restaurateur in Bali informed us, may be the product of caged palm civets who don’t have the freedom to go out and pick the best beans after all!

(See above for the lengths to which we will go to obtain the substance!) Particularly when jet-lagged, there is nothing quite like a good steaming cup of the coffee to get you going. And of course, when in Java one must drink... well, you get the point! While waiting for the start of our trip to Borobudur, we happened upon a cute little place just around the corner from New Superman’s losmen. (It was the mini-“gang” in between gangs I and II.) We had seen the “Coffee Corner” in passing the night prior but it was closed for the evening. Since we still had about 15 minutes to kill before our mini-van journey, we stopped inside for a caffeine re-fill. indeed were the offerings from Coffee Corner. While we waited about 10 minutes for their completion, our Vanilla Latte and Cappuccino were served in large glass vessels that proved the proprietor cared much about attention to detail. (It’s always nice to have a good coffee supplemented with good presentation, particularly in such a far-flung locale. So often, crappy watered down attempts at a ‘cino are served in a bland paper cup.) Judging from the size of Coffee Corner, it’s clear that this is a one-off in Yogya. If you are looking for a nice place to relax, you could do a lot worse. Just make sure to bring some tissues for the toilet. (See "essentials" from our Buenos Aires report for more information.)

The Safety Of Eliquid And Whether It Is Effective In Replacing The Habit Of Smoking Ciggaretes The increase in the number of electronic cigarettes among the members of the general public has caused different debates among the experts where they seek to determine whether the habit is safe or can be considered hazardous. In the recent time people have shifted to the use nicotine-laden flavors where the experts have been out to determine whether they are also safe and effective in cutting the smoking habit. There are two groups who argue about the safety of the eliquids and its effect on the human bodies where one group argue that they are more harmful than the cigarettes. The second group, however, argue that the eliquids are safe for human use as there are no effects that have so far been documented to have resulted from one using eliquids. Between the two groups and their basis of argument there is truth concerning the e-liquid and the effects of using the liquid to the human body. There is no product that a human being uses can be termed to be 100 percent safe for use not even the purified clean drinking water as it can also cause death due to the fact that it causes hyponatremia disease. What matters when one is consuming different products is their level of safety as well as their relative harm compared to other products that one can be using. When discussing the level of safety of using e-liquid it is not considered 100 percent safe but compared to the tobacco smoke that it intends to replace. It is not abnormal for the eliquids to affect consumption since the body was only designed to inhale oxygen. The safety level of using liquid is dependent on the components which are used in its manufacture which remain a mystery to many. One of the components of the e-liquid is nicotine which is a highly addictive stimulant which when used in excess it may prove to be fatal. Nicotine causes vasoconstriction thus inducing tingling sensations, headaches, and blood circulation problems such as high blood pressure. However nicotine can help fight depression, improve concentration and is recommended for patients who suffer from different brain disorders such as ADHD. Glycol compounds are also used in making the eliquids where the two main compounds are propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin where they are used to create smoke illusion. Different e-liquid brands have different flavors added. Some brands also contain distilled water which is added to make them wick while others contain vodka which aims at improving throat hit.

Top Ten Term Paper Topics About Psychology For College Students While working on these ten top subjects for papers that are set up for college level achievement, there are certain types of papers that are expected to be written. The level I am talking about is the level of effort and information that needs to be put forth to write at the college level. To make it as a college paper, it will be explained to the writer how to set up the correct study habits. It will be known that starting at high school, straight through completion of college, it will take more and more time, patience, and investigating to put out the quality that it takes to achieve a paper written on Master’s level. The reason that is explained in this detail is because if a writer chooses to do a paper in the Psychology, we are talking about picking up where some great minded thinkers have left off, and you will have to write continuation papers to get any acclaim at all. I am writing down ten top subjects that can be used to continue on some of those great thinkers. - Eating disorders: How does it affect learning at the college level? - Dreams: Does our interpretation change as we experience more in our lives? - Does the definition of being cool change as we get older - Does music while studying help or hurt comprehension? - Non-verbal communication-The effects of alcohol? - Bullying-Playground to Computer? - How do sororities and fraternities compare to cults? - Sexual Harassment – How far do we really go for an A? - Abortion vs Abstinence? - We do drug testing for athletic achievements, what about academic achievements? It will take more time and effort to write a paper that will be ready for an audience to read. Can you imagine what it will take to be accepted as truth to the ideas set down by these great thinkers? To draw the ending is prepared to bring in the most enlightened truths, to understand that the time you are spending should have been rationed out a while ago. These thinking papers require even talks with the experts if they were smart to not only read, but hear from these people where information is for sure first hand.
JAM 8 (2019) 2019 July 10-13, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Genova, Italy We invite you to attend the 8th bi-annual Joint Action Meeting (JAM) which brings together cognitive scientists and researchers from related disciplines studying individuals’ ability to act together. Human life is full of joint actions, ranging from a handshake to the performance of a symphony. We are highly skilled at coordinating our actions with those of others to reach common goals, and rely on this ability throughout our daily lives. What are the cognitive and neural processes underlying this ability? How does joint action develop? How do language and gesture support and emerge from joint action? What are the basic principles needed to build robotic systems that can interact with humans? What does differentiate joint action from individual action, both conceptually and in terms of experience? The scientific program will comprise oral presentations and posters addressing these and related questions. Contributions will present the latest research and thinking on a range of different topics, including language as a form of joint action, the interplay of perception and action in joint action, and the phylogenetic, ontogenetic, and cultural foundations of joint action. This conference is supported by Central European University, Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia and Università degli Studi di Genova For information about JAM VIII, visit http://www.intobrain.it/jam8/ DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 1st, 2019 We invite submissions for talks (about 20 minutes) or posters on joint action. The abstract should be no longer than 200 words. Deadline for submission is March 1st, 2019. The abstract title should clearly define the work discussed. Abstracts reporting empirical studies must contain the specific goals of the study, the methods used, a summary of the results, and a conclusion. For theoretical work, the abstract should contain the specific goals and clear conclusions. Please note that although we do encourage submissions from a broad range of topics and perspectives, we will only be able to accept contributions that directly inform our understanding of joint action. We will do our best to accommodate your preference for talk/poster, but given the tight schedule we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate your preference.

Anslinger was named as the head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. He created the name marijuana as a part of his crusade against Cannabis sativa. He worked with newspapers to get fake stories published about how it destroys your brain and makes you more prone to murder and rape. This crusade was inexplicably successful and ended in Congress criminalizing it with no research whatsoever. Every 13 seconds someone dies from alcohol products and their effects.

What Are The Age Laws On Dating In Texas Free Dating Site With Instant Messenger One path of wine history could follow the developments and science of grape growing and wine production; another might separately trace the spread of wine commerce through civilization, but there would be many crossovers and detours between them. However the time line is followed, clearly wine and history have greatly influenced one another. Fossil vines, million-years-old, are the earliest scientific evidence of grapes. The earliest written account of viniculture is in the Old Testament of the Bible which tells us that Noah planted a vineyard and made wine. As cultivated fermentable crops, honey and grain are older than grapes, although neither mead nor beer has had anywhere near the social impact of wine over recorded time.

College Park, Maryland, home to the main campus for the University of Maryland and roughly 20, residents overall, is currently reviewing a policy that would open regular ballot access to illegal aliens for municipal elections. While the town would be the largest to do so in the Mid-Atlantic, it would not be the first. The legality of such proposals and policies are not under question in Maryland, which is why the illegal alien voting rights movement sees consistent success. State law has allowed for townships to determine voter eligibility for municipal elections going back to the mid s. The local paper notes that Barnesville in Montgomery County maintains the longest-running rule, dating back to The trend began picking up steam in the s with larger jurisdictions joining in thereafter.

I wrote this post about my dating experience in Medellin back in April of Places frequented by tourists in Medellin are more saturated with foreigners than before. Furthermore, I am aware of the underworld of sex tourism in Colombia and I know that there are many strip clubs and brothels in Medellin; however, strippers and prostitutes are not the types of girls that I date, nor is it something I would like to promote, therefore, I will not be referring to that in this post. My situation is a little different than most foreigners here in Colombia. At first glance, Medellin women do not perceive me as a foreigner due to the way I look. It is an immediate sense of curiosity that some Colombian women have upon meeting a foreigner. So I do not get that immediate attention here in Medellin. Regarldess, I look on the bright side and see this as an advantage. I have found that Medellin women, as in most parts of the world, love compliments and like it when a guy can make them laugh. Socially, women are a little different than the southern California women I was used to picking up.

Applies to versions: 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 3.0 TimeIPS offers virtual machine images for environments where this is preferred to a physical server. A number of tips and resources for running TimeIPS in a virtual environment are available. Please contact TimeIPS technical support for additional information. Customers have reported sucecssful VM installations in the following host environments - MS Hyper V - QEMU - KVM If you have chosen to use VMWARE as your virtual host enviroment then please note that you will want to use our VMDK file image. If you received an IMG file you can convert it using the following steps or you can contact support for the VMDK image. Converting IMG and VMDK Files Customers who run TimeIPS using our standard virtual machine setup use VMDK or IMG files. Customers using VMWare require a VMDK file. Files can be converted between the two formats using qemu-tools which comes installed on many linux distributions like openSUSE. To convert an IMG file to VMDK format issue the following command: qemu-img convert timeips.img -O vmdk timeips.vmdk VMDK files can be converted back to a raw IMG file with this command: qemu-img convert timeips.vmdk -O raw timeips.img If you use VMWARE and have VMDK File The installation may differ depending on the version of VMWARE you have. The TimeIPS guest can use networking based on DHCP or Static IP. If you need TimeIPS to have a static IP you will want to use the menu after TimeIPS starts to set the IP and other network settings. You will need to copy the VMDK file to your data store. Then do a custom install. You will want to choose use existing disk and then point it at the VMDK file that is in your data store. Once installed you will be prompted for a user name and password. Ignore this. Find the IP that your VM Host assigned via DHCP to the new TimeIPS guest and use a web browser to browse to the IP adress. This will bring you to the set up page. Note: If you are using ESXi / VSphere special care must be taken with the .vmdk file. When starting, be sure to select "Virtual Machine Version: 8" when prompted to select the virtual machine version. If possible, also use the tool provided with ESXi as shown below to convert the vmdk file: Enable SSH on the VMWare server, then use a tool like PUTTY to get to a console. Navigate to the directory where the image is stored. Then use the folllowing: vmkfstools -i timeips.vmdk -d thin new_timeips.vmdk If this is not done, VMWare may have a problem where it thinks the host system disk is out of space and it then corrupts the vmdk file. If this happens, re-download the timeips.vmdk, do the conversion using the tool provided and restart. After startup, load the most recent backup to resume operation. If you use Hyper V You will first want to convert your VMDK file into a VHD file. The VMDK file can be converted to a VHD file for use with Hyper V. There are a number of free tools available to do this conversion, or TimeIPS can do the conversion for you. To do it yourself, for example, use the qemu-img command that is part of the qemu virtualization program. Search the Internet for instructions on how to download and install qemu on your operating system. After installing, open a command prompt. Change directory to the folder your TimeIPS image is located. Use the command: qemu-img convert -f VMDK -O VPC timeips.vmdk timeips.vpc. Then rename the timeips.vpc to timeips.vhd. Copy the timeips.vhd file to the folder you store your virtual machine images. In hyper V you will create a new machine. During this process you will want to choose connect virtual hard disk and point it at your timeips.vhd file. Choose install OS later. Before starting your new Machine you will want to set it up to use a legacy network adaptor. On the machine settings, choose add new hardware and then choose legacy network adaptor. Set the new adaptor to the correct network to use. Now launch your new virtual machine. Clean Shutdown of the VM Image Normally, once the TimeIPS VM image is up and running, it will not need to be restarted or shutdown. If the VM host requires down time (for upgrade, migration or service) the TimeIPS image should be shutdown cleanly if possible. There are several ways to do this: - The easiest way to do this is by logging into the TimeIPS web interface and requesting a shutdown from within the system menu. - The next option is to select the shut-down option using the on-screen text-mode menu that appears after the image has booted. - The last option, is useful when an automated shutdown is needed (for example if the VM host is running on battery backup and the battery is running low). A special URL can be used to request a clean shutdown. For example, the following command (put it all all on one line) will send a special signal to the TimeIPS VM image requesting an immediate clean shutdown. wget --timeout=5 -q -O /dev/null "http://<ip of your vm>/quickset_ip.php?stopMachineVM=1” The shutdown should be complete within 60 seconds unless the VM host is extremely busy.

WEBINAR: Building (or Rebuilding) Communities and Including Every Generation March 14, 2018 @ 1:00 pm - 2:15 pm EDTFREE Please join Laura Poskin, the Project Manager for Age-Friendly Greater Pittsburgh, an initiative of Southwestern Pennsylvania Partnership for Aging (SWPPA), for a Sustainable Community Development Network (SCDN) webinar to learn about the recently released a 30-step Action Plan to make the area’s neighborhoods more inclusive and respectful of every generation. In the next two decades, the number of residents ages 65 and older will increase by 40% in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Hear what steps your community can take to be welcoming to persons of all ages. Meeting the needs of an older population comes with challenges, but as more residents live longer lives, it means our region has a new, growing resource: people with buying power, career expertise, and lived experience. Those challenges range from simple communication issues to systemic transportation barriers. For more information read the Age-Friendly Greater Pittsburgh Action Plan, and this overview in Smart Cities Dive that features initiatives in Pittsburgh and Columbus. This SCDN webinar is brought to you by Sustainable Pittsburgh and Local Government Academy.
Isaiah 44:21-26 "Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel. Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof..." >Amen, Thank you Father, You are God. Blessed be your holy name. Lord have your own way in Earth as in Heaven. Lord I pray your word would be read and that your word would be voiced. God bless the reading of your word. Lord bless the remembrance of your word as you confirm the word of your servants and perform the counsel of your messengers. To you be all Glory, In Jesus' name Amen. Thank you Father. >God is God. Amen. 1 Timothy 4:13 "Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine." Nehemiah 8:7-10 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly,and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
September 10, 2013 In a new piece for Scientific American, Daniel Grushkin, a fellow with the Synthetic Biology Project, looks at the growing financial problems faced by community labs, including the seminal Bay Area lab Biocurious: Biocurious, which opened in 2011, is the largest of these community labs, and has a list of firsts to its name: the first community biotech lab to crowdfund its startup costs, the first to build a bioprinter, the first to sprout a company that Kickstarted almost half a million dollars. Now, Biocurious may become the first to close. The lab is struggling to meet its meager monthly expenses of roughly $6,000 to $8,000. “Over the history of Biocurious, we lose money every month,” Hathaway says. For the past eight months, lab members have been battling over how to pull Biocurious out of financial jeopardy, while the four founders have seemed to wrestle each other for control. With just a few months of rent left in the coffers and no resolution to the conflict of personalities, Biocurious faces a crisis. “Is this the break up of the Beatles? I don’t know,” Hathaway says. The entire piece can be found here.
What is your definition of systems change? An excerpt from “Systems Change: A Field Building Convening” Submitted by Anna Birney, Darcy Riddell, and Laura Winn Back in June, Dr. Darcy Riddell from McConnell Family Foundation and Dr. Anna Birney from Forum for the Future convened twenty-five people in Wasan Island, Canada, to collectively explore how they might concert their efforts and find shared pathways to cultivate the field of systems change. In the context of growing use of the term “systems change” and increasing interest in systemic approaches to address some of the world’s most complex challenges, they wanted to convene a retreat bringing together practitioners, academics, and funders to explore how they might work together. In the run-up to the retreat, they harvested people’s definitions of “systems change” so they might explore alignments and differences.
Guy Crayford was the chief astronaut with the British Space Defence Agency, which was based outside the village of Devesham. Sarah Jane Smith had reported on his disappearance, when contact with his ship had been lost near Jupiter. It was assumed it had been struck by an asteroid and destroyed. Crayford had actually been abducted by the alien Kraals. They brainwashed him into believing that they had saved his life, rebuilding his body save for one of his eyes, and repairing his vessel. Chief scientist Styggron then used his brain patterns to recreate Devesham, the Space Defence complex and its environs on their home planet of Oseidon. These were populated with android facsimiles of the real base personnel and villagers, including members of UNIT such as W.O. Benton and Harry Sullivan. Styggron claimed that the Kraals needed to evacuate their planet due to rising radiation levels, and they wanted to live peaceably with humans on the Earth, so Crayford co-operated fully. He did not know that the Kraals really meant to use the androids to deploy a lethal virus that would wipe out Earth's population within a few weeks. The Doctor and Sarah met Crayford when the TARDIS materialised outside the fake village. Crayford knew of the Doctor, though they had never met, and took their belief that they were on Earth to prove the replica was a great success. Military chief Chedaki was concerned that the androids could prove dangerous to the Kraals, and so Styggron had Crayford's mind scanned once again - to create a hostile android. It could then be demonstrated that the androids were not immune to Kraal weapons. Crayford had established contact with the Agency, claiming he had been adrift in space for the last two years, keeping alive by recycling his food and water. The androids would infiltrate the Earth when his ship returned home. The Doctor was able to convince Crayford that the Kraals had been lying to him - his eye was never lost - and that the aliens intended to wipe out the human race. Crayford turned on Styggron, but the Kraal scientist shot him dead. Played by: Milton Johns. Appearances: The Android Invasion (1975). - Second of three appearances in the programme for Johns - the first being Benik in Enemy of the World, and the last being Castellan Kelner in The Invasion of Time. - Crayford removing his eye-patch and finding he still has his left eye is often derided as one of the silliest things in all of Doctor Who. Why, in two years, has he never noticed? The only explanation is that he was mentally conditioned not to notice - to reinforce that the Kraals had saved him and were benign.
Dalios was the King of Atlantis, who reigned alongside his Queen, Galleia. He was several hundred years old, and remembered when the Chronovore Kronos had first been captured and imprisoned in the city. He was resistant to the creature's release, as advocated by some of the younger members of his court, as he feared it would lead to his people becoming indolent. When the Master arrived in Atlantis, seeking to harness the power of the Chronovore, he claimed to be an emissary from the gods, but Dalios could see through his lies. Galleia, on the other hand, was quickly wooed by the evil Time Lord. She helped the Master overthrow her husband. He was locked in a cell with the Doctor and Jo Grant, where he died from his injuries. Played by: George Cormack. Appearances: The Time Monster (1972). - Cormack returned to the series two years later, playing K'anpo in Planet of the Spiders. This elderly Time Lord was the Doctor's guru when he was a young man on Gallifrey - something he tells Jo about as they are locked up in this story.
Sarah’s Story From Georgia, U.S.A. “Me? I have TB? I’m very healthy. I’ve never had any major illnesses before, and I didn’t think it could happen to someone like me.” Sarah, upon hearing her TB diagnosis Sarah is a healthy college student. But when she was 16 years old in 2012, she was diagnosed with ocular tuberculosis (TB). TB is often found in the lungs, but for Sarah TB had attacked her retina. Because there is little research on the treatment of ocular TB, Sarah had to take more TB medication and for a longer period of time than other TB patients. “I was very scared of pills, so when my doctor told me I had to take 9 pills every day, it would take me a half an hour. Eventually I became a pro at it.” She had eye surgery to repair her retina. “After my surgery, I was in a lot of pain, because it was a major surgery. Then taking all those pills, I had abdominal pain too. Just a lot of pain.” Sarah didn’t want to tell her friends and family, especially her grandfather, that she had TB because she didn’t want to worry them, or be treated differently. Once she did tell her grandfather, she realized, “He was still my best friend, my rock, my biggest supporter. He’s my everything.” He told her he wanted her to be like a one-tusked elephant, a metaphor for being battle tested; someone who has fought and has come out stronger and wiser, more capable. “He told me, ‘your battle is TB. It may be hard now, and you may not think you are ever going to get better, but you will. And when you do, you will realize how capable and strong you really are.’ It is now my motivation to stay strong and to get better and try to do well in school and not let TB affect my performance.” “My vision, although not perfect because it will never be as good as it once was, it is getting better which makes me happy.”
Today in Anaheim, California across the street from Disneyland, inside the California Adventure theme park a whole new land is opening called “Cars Land”. The space that “Cars Land” is filing use to just be a parking lot. One man was really instrumental in the creation of this land. His name is John Lasseter. In April 2006, John was named Chief Creative Officer of both Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios and Creative Advisor for Walt Disney Imagineering. Now to the non-Disney freak, unlike myself, that does not sound like much. Just sounds like another successful person achieving something great. What you may not know about John is that he was fired from Disney in 1986 because his idea of computer animation was not worth pursuing after his work on the Brave Little Toaster was not a success. He did not give up on his idea of computer animation, instead he left his dream job at Disney to work on a financially struggling project from Lucasfilm Computer Graphics. Later in 1986 everything changed when Steve Jobs bought the division of LucasFilm and named it Pixar. Pixar changed everything. I don’t know about you but I’m sure glad that John did not quit after Michael Eisner told him that his idea wasn’t that great or worth the company’s time. Without John Lasseter there would be no Buzz, Woody, Mater, Lightning McQueen, Mike Wazowski, Remy, Wall-e, Dory, Carl Fredrickson, or Nemo. Don’t let someone else’s lack of vision get in the way of yours. We are all blessed because John took Walt Disney’s advice: “Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” I’m not sure where you are on your journey today. Not sure if you on the eve of your biggest achievement, or your biggest failure. Someone important may have just told you that your revolutionary idea is not worth pursuing. Today I’m here to encourage you… don’t give up. We may all be celebrating your idea one day soon. I wonder what the guy the guy that fired John is thinking today? Oh wait… he got fired too. Wherever you are on the journey, either staring at a roadblock or taking a victory lap, don’t hit the brakes.
The Seven Laws of Success by Dr. Marilyn Manning There are four main reasons why people fail to succeed: negative attitudes, procrastination, ignorance about success principles, failure to write down goals and fear of change. By applying the Seven Laws below you can develop your own success structure. Nature abhors a vacuum. When you clear out the clutter in your life, something else will fill up the space. Make a list of anything you would be willing to toss out: old ideas, dated materials, old magazines, duplicates, old notebooks and notes you hoped to read someday. Throw out whatever you are no longer using or is no longer current and fresh. It takes some faith and trust to do it. When business slows down, I clean out my files. Inevitably I receive phone calls with offers of new business. It works, but you must take the risk of cleaning out the old. When we give, we bring the flow of receiving. The expression, “What goes around, comes around,” applies to our business as well as personal life. Whatever we give out seems to come back. I appreciate business leads from others, and I receive a good number of them because I give away leads to someone else who could better service my client. Be willing to donate free speeches, workshops or consulting. There are many non-profits who can benefit from our giving. We all have the potential for great success. Sometimes we undermine our own success by forgetting that we deserve it. It’s an exciting process to aim high. In NSA, we have an earned designation, the CSP (Certified Speaking Professional), which is our highest mark of excellence. It means that you gave over 500 programs more than 200 different clients in the past five years. Programs are also rated to assure top quality. Some people call this the principle of “Seed Money.” It means following the principle of putting aside 10% for the future. Thousands of years ago, the farmers saved 10% of the crop for seed. Many successful people practice tithing or giving 10% of their income (after taxes) to a worthy cause. This reinforces the first two principles-it creates a vacuum, and it gets you into the flow of giving. Experiment for six months and watch the results. We can also invest in learning and in our future by attending NSA meetings, conventions and workshops. Put your goals into a positive form. “I will call ten prospects this week.” “I will increase my calling by 20% over the next month.” Express the goal as if it is already true. This is a positive way to program your mind. A few years ago, my husband had an opportunity to be on a quiz show. The grand prize was a one week cruise for two. We made ourselves a treasure map, cut out a picture of the cruise ship, mounted it on a poster board and wrote beneath it. “We are now enjoying our cruise.” We studied this “map” for weeks until the day of the quiz show. My husband didn’t win the trip. He won a portable dishwasher. However, two months later our treasure map became real. We were asked to be in a promotional film on a week’s cruise in the Caribbean. Visualizing goals is a powerful tool. Visualize yourself delivering a peak performance speech that touches your audience’s hearts or standing on stage at an NSA convention receiving your CSP medallion. Remember that you are unique. You have something special to offer your audience, your family and community. We all want to feel that we are making a difference; that we count. Successful people are those who contribute as volunteers, mentors and as friends. These laws of success can work for you. It takes a commitment to practice them, a new way of thinking to clear away the clutter, a willingness to risk. You deserve the very best to find ways to invest something in your future. Affirm and visualize those goals for success. And, share your talent with the world. Your contribution does make a difference.
Local television viewers around the United States were recently alerted to a “troubling trend” that’s “extremely dangerous to democracy.” Sinclair Broadcast Group, one of America’s dominant television station owners, commanded its anchors to deliver a scripted commentary, warning audiences about “one sided news stories plaguing our country” and media outlets that publish “fake stories … that just aren’t true.” This might sound like a media literacy lesson, offered in the public interest. But the invocation of “biased and false news” so closely echoes charges from the Trump administration that many observers cried foul. Sinclair’s record of broadcasting news content favorable to the Trump administration, including mandated program segments such as the “Terrorism Alert Desk,” and “Bottom Line with Boris,” with former Trump administration official Boris Epshteyn, provides additional evidence of partisan bias. So, is it time, as some commentators are suggesting, to restore the Fairness Doctrine, which used to require broadcasters “to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was fair and balanced”? That policy, adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in 1949, was repealed in 1987. It supposedly sustained responsible political debate on the nation’s airwaves until its disappearance during the Reagan administration. I would argue that nostalgic calls for the restoration of a golden age of civil political discussion on America’s airwaves mistake what actually happened in those decades. Airtime for Nazis, socialists, communists Politics and broadcasting have been consistently intertwined in American history. As I have found in my own research, the commercial broadcasting community (including advertisers) has consistently aligned news content and commentary in ways favorable to the White House. But such episodes are often conveniently forgotten. As Mitchell Stephens’ new biography of journalist Lowell Thomas recounts, and as numerous earlier scholars detailed, U.S. broadcast journalism originated more as subjective and biased commentary than as reportage. The vast majority of 1930s radio “news” was politically slanted analysis by veteran journalists like Thomas, H.V. Kaltenborn and Boake Carter. Kaltenborn, for example, was notable for his anti-union commentaries. The uncertain nature of early broadcast regulation, combined with pressure from organized interest groups and politicians, all made the exact parameters of political speech on American radio ambiguous in the 1930s. So the networks lent their microphones to a wide range of views from the quasi-fascists like Father Charles Coughlin (the “Radio Priest”), to homespun socialists like Huey Long and union leaders like the American Federation of Labor’s William Green. As Douglas Craig, David Goodman and numerous other scholars have pointed out, political broadcasting in the 1930s was vibrant, fertile and diverse to an extent unmatched to the present day. For example: In 1936, both CBS and NBC aired Nazi propaganda from the Berlin Olympic Games. They also broadcast live from the Communist Party of the United States of America nominating convention. Programs like “University of Chicago Roundtable,” and “America’s Town Meeting of the Air” aired provocative political discussion that engaged and educated American audiences by exposing them to diverse viewpoints. Airwaves rein themselves in But as war neared, U.S. political broadcasting narrowed its range. The Roosevelt administration began to carefully police the airwaves. CBS’ highly rated news commentator, Boake Carter, had often criticized President Roosevelt’s policies. But when he applauded the Anschluss, Germany’s annexation of Austria in 1938, and expressed admiration for Nazi policies, the White House acted. As media historian David Culbert revealed, Roosevelt’s adviser Stephen T. Early secretly contacted CBS and Carter’s sponsor, General Foods, to silence Carter. Despite high ratings and a popular following, Carter’s CBS contract was not renewed. Within weeks he was gone. Broadcasting’s self-censorship under government pressure expanded at the start of World War II. Circumscribing critical analysis and channeling commentary to the political center pleased advertisers and politicians. With the assistance of such broadcasting pioneers as Edward R. Murrow, subjective radio news commentary morphed into the type of observational reporting now identified as broadcast journalism. The most famous example of this shift occurred in 1943. That year Cecil Brown, CBS’s top-rated news analyst and author of the best-selling “Suez to Singapore,” dared to criticize the war effort he witnessed on the American homefront. Brown was fired, and his dismissal proved a warning to every other broadcast commentator. Not everyone was happy with the neutering of news and opinion on American airwaves. In response to the Brown firing, FCC Chair James Lawrence Fly criticized what he considered corporate censorship. “It’s a little strange,” Fly told the press, “to reach the conclusion that all Americans are to enjoy free speech except radio commentators.” With the lesson learned, and with the support of the advertising community, America’s broadcasters aimed to address only the “vital center” of American politics in the postwar years. Still, politics persisted It would, however, be a mistake to believe that the Fairness Doctrine silenced fractious political discourse on the American airwaves. Throughout the decades that the Fairness Doctrine remained official policy, controversial political broadcasts aired regularly on American television and radio. There was Joe Pyne, whose show at its zenith in the 1960s attracted a reported 10 million viewers. Pyne insulted the hippies, Klansmen and civil rights activists he invited to his studio. Though the show is recalled today more for its outrageousness, it was a political show and Pyne propagated a conservative, law-and-order, patriotic message. Then there’s Bob Grant, who broadcast a popular radio show in New York City throughout the 1970s. Grant’s “arch disdain for liberals, prominent black people, welfare recipients, feminists, gay people, and anyone who disagreed with him,” wrote The New York Times, “was familiar to his listeners.” Nationally syndicated programs like “Donohue” offered liberal perspectives, and even the “CBS Evening News” brought back commentary, with veteran journalist Eric Sevareid providing perspective on the daily news each weeknight. I’m not equating the well-reasoned, often brilliant political commentary offered by Eric Sevareid to Sinclair Broadcast Group’s transparent political advocacy. Sevareid reached a much larger percentage of the American populace than all the Sinclair newscasts combined, and he was therefore far more influential. But to express surprise that Sinclair now shapes news content and commentary to be more hospitable to political advertising, and more supportive of the current administration, ignores the fact that political commentary has always sold well in the American commercial system. I believe Sinclair’s management has identified an underutilized segment of the local TV news advertising market – the pro-Trump segment – as the 2018 midterm elections approach. The broadcaster is now shaping its news products to more effectively appeal to the audience for the political advertisements it seeks to sell this fall. This economic interest closely aligns with Sinclair’s current political and regulatory imperatives. It makes the propagating of biased news content even more effective from Sinclair’s perspective. Sinclair clearly hopes that the political consultants who purchase campaign ads, and the federal regulators who must approve their planned purchase of Tribune Broadcasting’s 42 stations, will appreciate their recent media literacy efforts.
Today – almost exactly a year to the day since winning the nuclear court case – the two women who were the driving force behind the victory, were awarded the prestigious Goldman Environmental Foundation’s Prize in San Francisco, USA. Just a few hours ago, Earthlife Africa-Johannesburg’s (ELA-JHB) Makoma Lekalakala and Liziwe McDaid from the Southern African Faith Communities’ Environment Institute (SAFCEI) joined the winners from five other continents as they were applauded for their efforts to successfully mobilise South Africans against the government’s secret R1-trillion nuclear deal. Christy Bragg, a Green Connection colleague who has worked with Liz since 2005, says, “Liz and Makomo are visionary women, and epitomize South African grit and passion. Liz has been a mentor for me since I was a young, uneducated-but-qualified scientist. She is a bigger-picture thinker, an influencer and believes deeply in hearing the voice of civil society. This prize is well-deserved recognition for a lifetime of diligent, empathetic and perservering leadership, where many others would have swayed from the path. They, amongst others, have shown us the possibilities for South Africa to be known as a world leader in sustainable solutions if it could be the country where the people are valued and heard.”

Contrary to popular belief, adults are not the only ones who can develop heart disease. This condition can develop at any age. Many children have congenital heart disease, which means that they were born with it. However, some children have heart disease as the result of their lifestyle choices. Fortunately, there are many things that you can do to improve cardiovascular health in your children. Ways to Promote Heart Health In Children: Make Sure That Your Children Eat Healthy A poor diet can contribute to heart disease. You should make sure that your children eat plenty of fruits and vegetables because they are filled with fiber and vitamins that protect the heart. You should make sure that your children get plenty of omega 3 fatty acids in their diet. Omega 3 fatty acids can help reduce the risk of heart disease. They also help lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Salmon and tuna are a great source of omega 3 fatty acids. There are also plant-based foods that have omega 3 fatty acids, such as flaxseeds and walnuts. You will also need to limit your children’s intake of sodium. Studies have shown that sodium can raise blood pressure. You can add flavor to your children’s food by using herbs and spices instead of salt. You will also need to limit the amount of processed foods that your children eat. “It is estimated that 90 percent of the sodium in the American diet comes from processed foods,” said Children’s Cardiovascular Medicine. Get More Physical Activity Most children today are not getting enough exercise. It is estimated that 74 percent of children who are between the ages of five and 10 do not get enough exercise. Ninety percent of high school students do not get enough exercise. Regular physical activity helps fight heart disease. Regular exercise helps children maintain a healthy body weight. Studies have shown that children who are obese are more likely to develop heart disease. Not only does exercise help one burn calories, but it also helps strengthen the heart. Furthermore, exercise helps reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. High blood pressure and high cholesterol are two of the main factors that increase the risk of heart disease. Experts recommend that children get at least 60 minutes of exercise in per day. There are many ways that you can ensure that your children to get the recommended amount of exercise. You can encourage them to participate in a sport. You can also go for a daily walk with your children. Additionally, it is a good idea to limit the amount of time that your children spend watching television and playing video games. Studies have shown that children who watch more than one hour of television per day are 60 percent more likely to be obese. Children who are active are likely to remain active when they are adults. Make Sure That Your Children Get Plenty of Rest It is estimated that anywhere from 25 to 30 percent of children are sleep-deprived. Fatigue is not the only problem that sleep deprivation can cause. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation can increase the risk of high blood pressure and obesity. The amount of sleep that children need can vary depending on their age. Preschool-aged children need to get 10 to 13 hours of sleep per night. School-aged children, who are between the ages of six and 13, need to get nine to 11 hours of sleep per night. Teenagers need to get nine to 10 hours of sleep per night. You should try to keep your children on the same sleep schedule every day including weekends. This makes it easier for children to get the recommended amount of sleep.
One of the easiest ways for an otherwise law abiding citizen to run afoul with the law is to be charged with Reckless Driving. This is because so many people in our society operate motor vehicles and do not always fully comply with the rules of the road. We see drivers regularly fail to use turn signals, follow too closely, lose control, and of course exceed the speed limit. Most traffic violations are legally designated as “infractions of the law,” which have minor or moderate consequences, usually the payment of a small fine and court costs. But when a motorist is facing a charge of Reckless Driving, legally it’s much more than just a ticket. Reckless Driving is a Class One Misdemeanor Criminal Charge, punishable by up to 12 months in jail, up to a $2,500 fine, and a possible loss of your Virginia driving privilege for up to six months. In addition, you could be arrested and have your car impounded at the discretion of the police officer for committing this offense. The most common form of reckless driving is speeding twenty miles per hour over the speed limit. Section 46.2-862 Code of Virginia states that “A person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives a motor vehicle on the highways in the Commonwealth (i) at a speed of twenty miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable maximum speed limit or (ii) in excess of eighty miles per hour regardless of the applicable maximum speed limit.” Also it is Driving in a manner generally endangering others. Section 46.2-852 of the Code says “Irrespective of the maximum speeds permitted by law, any person who drives a vehicle on any highway recklessly or at a speed or in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person shall be guilty of reckless driving.” There are many other specific forms of Reckless Driving that carry the same penalty. Racing, passing a stopped school bus, improper brakes, driving too fast for traffic conditions, operating an overloaded vehicle, are just a few. The fact is that much of what goes on every day on the roadways could be deemed Reckless Driving, and law enforcement officers have wide discretion as to whether the charge will be a mere infraction or a crime. It is important to hire legal counsel when facing a Reckless Driving charge for some important reasons: 1. Your appearance before the judge with an attorney suggests that you are taking the charge seriously. When you appear alone it signals that you are not. You may be punished more severely for a casual attitude. 2. The judge will assume that your attorney has counseled you about the seriousness of the charge. Courts often reason that without counsel most defendants are not fully informed of the ramifications of this crime. A heavy fine or even time in jail may be imposed to get the defendant’s attention. 3. When you have retained your own lawyer, to some extent the court can be satisfied that you have already been punished. Having to pay an attorney’s fee is often deemed at least in part, sufficient to deter similar future conduct. The wisdom of Solomon in Proverbs 12:15 sums it up best. “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.” Don’t attempt to go to court without legal representation on this charge and expect a good outcome. It would be a big mistake.

The years leading up to the First World War saw interest in Shakespeare reaching a high. In Stratford there were events relating to the rise in folk traditions of singing and dancing, but in London the movement to found a National Theatre based around Shakespeare’s works was gathering steam with the 1908 foundation of the Shakespeare Memorial National Theatre Committee. The idea of a National Theatre had first been mooted over fifty years before, England being one of the few European countries with no national theatre. The Committee’s major fundraising event was to be a Shakespearean Ball. On the Royal Albert Hall’s website this is described as “probably the most spectacular event ever held at the Hall”. I had barely heard of this event until it was mentioned at Professor Michael Dobson’s excellent inaugural lecture given earlier in October 2014, in which he examined the history of the idea of a national theatre and Shakespeare’s role in it. The whole lecture is available to be viewed here on YouTube. A Shakespeare Memorial Theatre already existed in 1908, but being situated in a small provincial town it was not national enough. Only the capital would do. The ball was a magnificent party organised by the rich and famous, for the rich and famous. The main organiser was Mrs George Cornwallis-West. Earl Lytton enthused: “The decorations of the Hall itself, the beauty of the costumes, the rhythm of the moving figures in the great quadrilles, the colours, the lights, the gaiety – all produced an effect of brilliance and splendour which will long live in the memories of those who saw them”. Many guests dressed as characters from Shakespeare’s plays, each one organised by a lady, so the Marchioness of Salisbury was in charge of The Merchant of Venice. Some leading actors appeared, such as Ellen Terry and Henry Ainley, but most parts were taken by “the best-known people in London”. Some were dressed as the court of Queen Elizabeth: “Nearly all…were either direct descendants or the wives of direct descendants of the historical characters they played”. “Here were no tawdry stage costumes, no mere imitations of reality. Here was the real thing. Real satins and ermines, real silks and brocades, real gold and silver embroideries, real lace of the finest periods…And among the sheen of wonderful stuffs there was the sparkle of jewels, real jewels, priceless heirlooms…Many single dresses cost upwards of a hundred pounds each, and many wearers were adorned with thousands of pounds’ worth of precious stones.” With so much expended on specially-made costumes, the figure of £10,000 raised for the Theatre Fund must have seemed rather small. The Hall was decorated by Sir Edwin Lutyens. A blue sky hid the roof, there were grape vines, green turf, and “bowers in a tall hedge of clipped yew, with quaintly fashioned birds topping them, after the manner of old-world gardeners”.. The following day The Times devoted over a page to the ball and reports appeared as far away as New Zealand. Mrs Cornwallis-West compiled a magnificent volume, Souvenir of the Shakespeare Memorial National Theatre Ball that includes photographs of many of the participants in their finery. A copy is held at the Shakespeare Centre Library and Archive in Stratford-upon-Avon. Stratford-upon-Avon, and its Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, is not mentioned, though the town’s most famous resident, Marie Corelli, took a box. A set of 29 portraits is to be found on the National Portrait Gallery’s website. Slightly mysteriously, the image reproduced, which I’ve found on the Royal Albert Hall website, shows Stratford buildings: Holy Trinity Church, the Birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, but none of the descriptions mention them. The following year Mrs George Cornwallis-West planned another Shakespeare-related fundraiser, a Shakespeare Exhibition at Earl’s Court, running from May to October. Like the ball, it was designed by Lutyens who supplied replicas of buildings such as the Globe Theatre and the ship The Revenge. Although there was an exhibition of original paintings and other objects from the period, the rest of the exhibition was more The Merrie England Experience. Inside the buildings were events such as dancing, madrigals, concerts of Elizabethan music, performances of the Pyramus and Thisbe scene from A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the trial scene of The Merchant of Venice. There was a medieval tournament with real tilting. Balls were held including, on 27 June, the Venetian Bal Masque priced at 30 shillings. Food outlets included the Boar’s Head Tavern with anachronistic offerings such as afternoon tea. Unlike the ball, which seems to have been admired by all, the six-month long exhibition attracted criticism. The expense of maintaining the various events was high, and Mrs Cornwallis-West “relied too much on her personal influence and not enough on the power of the press”. The society network that made the ball such a success did not work when interest had to be maintained over a long period. Those who attended the 1911 ball felt they had been at a special, unforgettable event. In his essay in the Souvenir volume H Hamilton Fyfe wrote “The Shakespeare Ball of King George’s Coronation year will live in history…Those who were fortunate enough to see it have something to recollect all their lives”. In his epilogue to the same book, Israel Gollancz hoped “may they all dance again…at the Shakespeare Ball in the Shakespeare Commemoration week of 1916”, an event that of course never happened, with many of the countries whose representatives had danced together in 1911 embroiled in war against each other. A hundred years on, the ball has been forgotten. It now seems like the final flowering of a way of life cut down by World War 1. Since 1923 the Royal Albert Hall has been the venue for another great but sombre event, November’s national Festival of Remembrance.
The knives have certainly been out since the Referendum vote on 23 June, and in the last week the Shakespearean references have been flying thick and fast, though the whole concept of a referendum would have been completely alien to Shakespeare. He did, though, always have something to say about power struggles, and by Sunday morning there had been so many that on Radio 4’s Broadcasting House they presented a sound collage of quotes from recent events interspersed with lines from Shakespeare. As Paddy O’Connell suggested, “Let’s get the Shakespearean overtones out of our system”. It featured quotes from a variety of plays: Richard II’s “Let’s talk of graves, of worms, of epitaphs”, Richard III ‘s ambition, finding parallels in many of those seeking the Tory leadership: Why, then, I do but dream on sovereignty; Like one that stands upon a promontory, And spies a far-off shore where he would tread, Wishing his foot were equal with his eye, And chides the sea that sunders him from thence, Saying, he’ll lade it dry to have his way: So do I wish the crown, being so far off; Much later, before the battle of Bosworth when allies have deserted Richard III: March on, join bravely, let us to’t pell-mell If not to heaven, then hand in hand to hell. It ended with a quote from that most depressing of political plays, Troilus and Cressida. Ulysses’ great speech on degree is about respecting authority, knowing your place in a highly stratified society, but his comments on the results of political upheaval are strikingly relevant to today’s circumstances. How could communities, Degrees in schools and brotherhoods in cities, Peaceful commerce from dividable shores, The primogenitive and due of birth, Prerogative of age, crowns, sceptres, laurels, But by degree, stand in authentic place? Take but degree away, untune that string, And, hark, what discord follows!… Strength should be lord of imbecility, And the rude son should strike his father dead: Force should be right; or rather, right and wrong, Between whose endless jar justice resides, Should lose their names, and so should justice too. The Shakespearean quote game began when, commenting on Michael Gove’s apparent betrayal of his son, Boris Johnson’s father quoted the dying words of Julius Caesar, stabbed in the back by his closest ally “Et tu, Brute”. Boris himself quoted a bit from Brutus’s speech about seizing opportunity: There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat; And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures. Does Boris see himself as the great leader, Julius Caesar, or as the unlucky Brutus, who does the wrong thing for what he thinks is the right reason? Boris certainly knows his Shakespeare, and it was reported a year ago that he had been commissioned to write a biography of Shakespeare for 2016, for which he had been paid £500,000. He might have missed that deadline, but assuming he writes the book now he has a bit more time it is certain to be a best-seller. Biographies often reveal more as much about the author as the subject, and this might well be the case. Boris knows the power of words, and how rhetoric can be used to create an argument to sway your listeners. More than Julius Caesar, or Brutus, he reminds me of Mark Antony, charismatic, but not particularly strong on detail. Shakespeare gives him some of his most persuasive speeches in the scene in the Capitol, that begins “Friends, Romans, Countrymen”: I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts: I am no orator, as Brutus is; But, as you know me all, a plain blunt man, That love my friend; and that they know full well That gave me public leave to speak of him: For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech, To stir men’s blood: I only speak right on; I tell you that which you yourselves do know; Antony remains a dominant figure to the end of Julius Caesar, the young Octavius Caesar seeming to respect his experience. Once we move into Antony and Cleopatra, though, the relationship between Antony the great persuader and Octavius the real politician, disintegrates. Octavius accuses Antony of character flaws that prevent him being a serious politician, just as Michael Gove did to Boris Johnson: to confound such time, That drums him from his sport…, – ‘tis to be chid: As we rate boys, who being mature in knowledge, Pawn their experience to their present pleasure, And so rebel to judgement”. The coming weeks and months are likely to provide many more examples of Shakespeare’s relevance to our political upheavals. Where will it all end? Shakespeare’s plotters generally get their come-uppance, but not before much blood has been shed.

Département d'Hématologie Clinique, CHU Montpellier, Univ Montpellier, France. # These two authors have equally contributed to this manuscript Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have significantly improved the treatment of certain cancers. However, in general mAbs alone have limited therapeutic activity. One of their main mechanisms of action is to induce antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), which is mediated by natural killer (NK) cells. Unfortunately, most cancer patients have severe immune dysfunctions affecting NK activity. This can be circumvented by the injection of allogeneic, expanded NK cells, which is safe. Nevertheless, despite their strong cytolytic potential against different tumors, clinical results have been poor. Methods: We combined allogeneic NK cells and mAbs to improve cancer treatment. We generated expanded NK cells (e-NK) with strong in vitro and in vivo ADCC responses against different tumors and using different therapeutic mAbs, namely rituximab, obinutuzumab, daratumumab, cetuximab and trastuzumab. Results: Remarkably, e-NK cells can be stored frozen and, after thawing, armed with mAbs. They mediate ADCC through degranulation-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Furthermore, they overcome certain anti-apoptotic mechanisms found in leukemic cells. Conclusion: We have established a new protocol for activation/expansion of NK cells with high ADCC activity. The use of mAbs in combination with e-NK cells could potentially improve cancer treatment.

One of the things that makes trading individual stocks so risky is “event risk”. Which, to put it bluntly, is when all hell breaks loose because of some news item in the off-hours, causing an overnight gap downward from the close of the previous day to the beginning of the next day. A stop loss can’t do anything to prevent these overnight gaps. The market doesn’t care if you wanted out at $9.35. If the next day opens at $8, well then that’s what you get. I was reading a fine blog post by Cesar Alvarez, where he discussed the use of maximum-loss stops with mean reversion systems, and how they usually hurt results. I’ve found the same thing to generally be true, and wondered in my comment whether gaps could be avoided by getting them over with, so to speak. If you incorporate a downward gap as part of your mean reversion strategy, are you able to avoid additional gaps in the future? In other words, does lightning strike twice? Let’s go find out! I picked a year: 2012. Why? Because it’s convenient. Recent but not too recent. Then I selected all of the current Russell 1000 stocks that were in existence at the beginning of 2012. 912 stocks to be exact. And since they’re currently in the Russell 2000 list, they made it to the end of 2012 intact. During 2012, there were 527 gaps downward that were greater than 5% (as defined by the previous close divided by the current day’s open). Assuming there were 252 trading days in 2012 (if there weren’t, then my numbers are slightly off but not enough to affect the results), that gives us 229,824 possible moments for a gap. So on any given day, there was a 0.23% chance of having a gap down of greater than 5%. Of the stocks that had a >5% gap downward in 2012, there was a 0.63% chance of that happening on any given day (because only 322 stocks accounted for those 527 gaps). Some stocks just behaved themselves in 2012 and avoided downward gaps. I then looked at all the gaps, and determined if there were any additional gaps subsequent to the first gap. I was surprised by the results. There was a 1.71% chance of a >5% gap happening in the next 2 days. There was a 2.47% chance of a >5% gap happening in the next 5 days. There was a 3.42% chance of a >5% gap happening in the next 10 days. Gap me once, shame on you. Gap me twice, shame on me. Mind you, those are still pretty small percentages. We’re only talking 18 instances of a second gap happening in the following 10 days. In 2012, only one ticker had two subsequent gaps following the first one. But the results, as preliminary as they are, do seem to indicate that downward gaps have a slight tendency to cluster. Lightning does indeed strike twice. And you have a 1:280,000 chance of being hit by actual lightning this year.
Hey youths! It is often contended that people who lived during biblical times were more simpleminded and superstitious than modern man, and could be tricked into believing the miraculous stories contained in the Bible. Today, it is claimed we live in a scientific age and have outgrown these superstitions, since we have developed the mental capacity to see these miracles as being superstitious myths rather than paranormal phenomena. A close study of the evidence will show that these accounts are not a superstitious reaction to some clever trickster. The response to the miraculous acts of God shows the same surprise and anxiety that modern man would have if he were placed in the same situation. The people living at the time of Jesus certainly knew that men born blind do not immediately receive their sight (John 9:32), that five loaves and a few fish would not feed 5,000 people (John 6:14) or that men do not walk on water (Matthew 14:26). Doubting Thomas said, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe” (John 20:25, RSV). He refused to accept the testimony of the unbelievable event of the resurrection, but changed his mind when confronted face-to-face with the resurrected Christ. Thus we are not expected to believe the ridiculous, and neither were the people of biblical times. The people living in those times were no less skeptical than we are today. It was the unavoidable, the inescapable, the irrefutable fact that caused them to believe. The natural order was interfered with as a miracle occurred. It is only the skepticism of modern man that caused him to deny that miracles occurred. Taken from Answers to Tough Questions about the Christian Faith by Josh McDowell and Don Stewart.

Global Agrarian Transformations Author: Ryan Isakson How relevant are the classic theories of agrarian change in the contemporary context? This volume explores this question by focusing upon the defining features of agrarian transformation in the 21st century: the financialization of food and agriculture, the blurring of rural and urban livelihoods through migration and other economic activities, forest transition, climate change, rural indebtedness, the co-evolution of social policy and moral economies, and changing property relations. Combined, the eleven contributions to this collection provide a broad overview of agrarian studies over the past four decades and identify the contemporary frontiers of agrarian political economy. In this path-breaking collection, the authors show how new iterations of long evident processes continue to catch peasants and smallholders in the crosshairs of crises and how many manage to face these challenges, developing new sources and sites of livelihood production. This volume was published as part one of the special double issue celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Journal of Peasant Studies.
I want to tell you about an app I’ve found to be a lot of fun. It’s called Radio Garden. Odd name, but it is a cool app. It allows you to listen to digital radio stations all over the world, live. I use it on my Android phone, and there is an iPhone version as well. You can also listen to it on your computer at radio.garden which would be the thing to do if you have your computer hooked up to good speakers. However, I find that it is harder to navigate on the desktop version, and it keeps sending me back to the Voice of Vashon, of all the stations in all the world. It starts out by planting “sound seeds” all over the rotating globe. Then you click on a green dot in some country and it zeroes in on a radio station. Hop around and listen to what’s playing in Albania or Alaska. From Azerbaijian or Argentina to Zanzibar or Zagreb. Towns with more than one radio station will choose one at random and you can check out the others by clicking on one of the others in the list in the bottom right corner of the screen. Some stations seem to exist to stream American advertising, so you have to bop around till you find authentic stuff to listen to. It’s a great way to learn what the rest of the world is listening to. You can hear what different languages sound like, and how radio ads sound very similar in most any language. Shine up your foreign language skills! Mercifully, there is not the non-stop assault and parsing of inane and insane tweets coming from the White House. There’s a whole planet out there. Just listen.
One way of answering the question is to take its total area: 95,000 square miles (246,000 sq km). Another way is to think of it as a country. If Uttar Pradesh were to declare independence, it would be the world’s fifth most populous country (as the map below shows, it has about the same number of residents as Brazil). Yet its economy would only be the size of Qatar, a tiny oil-rich state of fewer than 2m people. That makes it poor on a per person basis. Despite India’s two decades of rapid growth, Uttar Pradesh’s GDP per head is close to that of Kenya….

A few sensational victories including Donald Trump’s rise to power allowed the right wing to get a high profile. Now it is the Left that has a chance to regain initiative in order to challenge the neoliberal mainstream. Since 2008 the neoliberal mainstream, which seemed to be steadfast, has been suffering both economic and political crisis. This makes people seek an alternative of right or left kind. In such circumstances, alternative political forces attempt to satisfy civil society’s needs suggesting new ideas that challenge the neoliberalism. Therefore, both leftist and rightist revolts have been a search for new growth drivers and new balance within societies that takes all the classes and their interests into consideration. This process is closely tied to several major shifts. The privatization of state’s functions has been doubted and put the return of public capital on the agenda. The voice of people demanding a more equal access to public goods, for example, education gets louder. There are new politicians able to get this message and obtain a broad popular support. They are, for instance, Jeremy Corbyn in the UK and Jean-Luc Melenchon in France. However, what is behind the leftist revolt? Does it have any chance to succeed?
In October 2016, twenty years after Yevgeny Primakov’ policy article was published in the journal International Affairs, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin gave a speech at the Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi, during which he commented , “I certainly hope that… the world really will become more multipolar, and that the views of all actors in the international community will be taken into account.” Six months prior to that, Putin noted the role of the United States in international relations: “America is a great power, today perhaps the only superpower. We accept this.” That is, even though a multipolar world is the desirable world system, presently it is too early to say that the “unipolar moment” has been completely overcome.

Veliko Tarnovo (Bulgarian: Велико Търново, sometimes transliterated as Veliko Turnovo) is a city in north central Bulgaria and the administrative centre of Veliko Tarnovo Province. Often referred to as the “City of the Tsars”, Veliko Tarnovo is located on the Yantra River and is famous as the historical capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire, attracting many tourists with its unique architecture. The old city is situated on three hills, Tsarevets, Trapezitsa and Sveta Gora raising amidst the meanders of the Yantra. Tsarevets housed the palaces of the Bulgarian Emperors and the Patriarchate, as well as a number of administrative and residential edifices surrounded by thick walls. Trapezitsa was known for its many churches and as the main residence of the nobility. In the Middle Ages it was among the main European centres of culture and gave its name to the Tarnovo Artistic School of architecture, painting and literature. Veliko Tarnovo is an important administrative, economic, educational and cultural centre of Northern Bulgaria. In the present day, the population of Veliko Tarnovo has been growing quickly, especially in the past 5-6 years. Today (according to unofficial sources), the population is around 105 000 inhabitants, though this does not include the metropolitan area (in American style, which is 30–40 miles radius of circle around the city), which it is believed to contain more than 250 000 inhabitants. The largest residential district is called “Buzludja”, having been built during the communist era at the beginning of the 1970s; the main buildings are block apartments or so called “projects”.

The Old-Time Mills of the Battenkill From the early 1800s through the mid-20th century, hundreds of mills operated along the banks of the Battenkill. ‘Mills on the Kill’ an exhibit curated by Salem’s deputy historian, Judy Flagg, artist and author Elizabeth Cockey, and research assistant Sally Brillon, will debut at the historic Salem Courthouse Community Center in Salem, N.Y. on September 11. The public is invited to a free opening reception with the curators on Thursday, September 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. Mills of all types once dotted the banks of the BattenKill at each hamlet and village along its course to the Hudson River. Grist mills and sawmills were early industries that gave way to textile and equipment factories as the needs of local residents demanded. A very few operating industries remain; the rest lie in ruins or were burned to oblivion years ago. What does remain are many of the quality goods that were produced through the decades; farming implements, stenciled tin trays, blankets and pottery still survive, and are featured in the exhibit, along with photographs, drawings and artwork. The show will continue through October 11 before going on to the Georgi on the Battenkill in Shushan in November. The Courthouse is located at 58 East Broadway, Salem, N.Y., and is open Tuesday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. or by appointment. For further information on the show, call 518-854-7053.

We've come a long way. We started out with Coulomb's law. We got electric field lines. And now we have electric flux. Suppose I have an electric field which is like so and I bring in that electric field a surface, an open surface like a handkerchief or a piece of paper. And so here it is. Something like that. And I carve this surface up in very small surface elements, each with size DA, that's the area, teeny weeny little area, and let this be the normal, N roof, the normal on that surface.

Voith to Supply Generators and Turbines for New Hydropower Plant in Angola - Installed hydropower capacity in Angola to be doubled - Hydropower contributing to economic and social development - Potential for hydropower development in Africa of more than 400 GW With the project, Angola will double its installed capacity in hydropower. The capacity of the four generator-turbine-units provided for Cambambe II adds up to a total of over 700 MW. The new hydropower plant is built next to the existing facility of Cambambe I allowing the new plant to use the infrastructure and dam already available on the spot. „The order in Africa is an important success for Voith“, says Dr. Roland Münch, President & CEO of the company’s hydropower branch Voith Hydro. „With our supply, we are contributing sustainably to the economic development of Angola.” Hydropower as a secure and cost-effective way of energy generation is offering a climate-friendly and resource-saving option particularly to emerging countries for the further extension and stabilization of power supply. In Africa, there is considerable potential for further hydropower development: The technically feasible hydropower potential on the continent amounts to an estimated 400 GW while the installed capacity adds up to no more than about 25 GW. Thus, the highest percentage of untapped hydropower potential in the world is in Africa. In Angola the hydropower potential is estimated to around 18 GW, with only four percent of that having been developed so far. The country intends to significantly invest in its energy sector in the coming years. As part of this, a considerable share of the enhanced electricity generation is supposed to originate from hydropower. Many other countries in Africa also focus on hydropower when approaching the necessary expansion of the local energy supply. These countries are aiming to provide a reliable and stable electricity supply to the dynamically growing population as well as the increasingly strong developing economy. Today, only one out of four Africans has access to electricity, and the supply is often patchy and disrupted by major black-outs. Hydropower is very suitable for a stable and reliable energy supply. In addition, it contributes to the local creation of value, supports the regional development and is helping countries in Africa in their efforts to become more independent from energy and fuel imports. With the new Cambambe II project, Voith Hydro also continues its long-term activities as hydropower plant supplier in Angola and other African countries. In the Cambambe I hydropower plant Voith, just recently, has finished extensive modernization work which has increased output by around 40 percent. In Ethiopia, the company has equipped Gilgel Gibe II which has doubled the country’s installed hydropower capacity as well and raised the share of the rural population supplied with electricity from 15 to 50 percent. For the pumped storage facility Ingula in South Africa Voith at present is providing the complete electromechanical equipment. The Importance of Hydro Power Hydro power is the largest, oldest and also most reliable form of renewable energy generation. Worldwide it makes an indispensable contribution to stable power supplies and hence to economic and social development - in industrial countries and also in rapidly growing regions. At the same time, hydro power significantly contributes to climate-protecting energy generation. Voith has been a leading supplier of this technology since the early beginning of hydro power utilization, and continuously develops and improves this technology. About the Company Voith sets standards in the markets energy, oil & gas, paper, raw materials and transport & automotive. Founded in 1867, Voith employs almost more than 42,000 people, generates €5.7 billion in sales, operates in over 50 countries around the world and is today one of the biggest family-owned companies in Europe.
Vials of the unsafe tuberculosis bacteria broke at Johns Hopkins Hospital Thursday, causing a stir of activity around the complex as hazmat personnel tried to contain any contamination of the bacteria that is known to cause life-threatening illness. Tuberculosis is an incredibly infectious and deadly disease. The two buildings, which are connected by an enclosed, elevated bridge, are research centers. The sample was "equivalent to a few drops", according to Dr. Landon King, executive vice dean of the school. There were employees in the area when the incident occurred, but hospital officials told the Baltimore Sun that no one required treatment. Baltimore Fire Chief Roman Clark said people were allowed back into the research buildings by late afternoon. Fortnite's Playground mode will be taking another break next week Fortnite's newest limited time mode, Playground , will leave the game on Thursday, July 12, developer Epic Games has announced. On the plus side, Epic Games has said that it has heard fans' pleas for the Playground mode to become a permanent game type. An accidental tuberculosis tube spill prompted a mass evacuation at two buildings on the campus of a prestigious Baltimore hospital, according to new reports. Airborne germs spread the disease from person to person. It can cause a hacking cough that lasts for weeks, chest pain, and a tell-tale coughing up of blood familiar to anyone who's watched Moulin Rouge. Hospital officials say they believe an unspecified number of individuals were exposed to tuberculosis at the health facility at around 12:20 pm EST. A Johns Hopkins spokesman said the building has been cleared of any contamination and they have confirmed that they was no risk to anyone inside the building. It can be fatal if it goes untreated. It has always been on the decline in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there were 9,272 U.S. cases in 2016.

However, despite these issues, I am quite shocked with health care in Uganda. I believed high quality of care was a significant problem, however after interviewing locals at Kikandwa, all of them appeared to be quite happy with the care obtained by Dr. Isaac. Some mentioned that the quality of medication was not always one of the best, however regardless of lengthy waits, they were still pleased with the care they acquired. With regard to affordability, Kikandwa clinic is one in all few that gives fee plans for companies which can be too expensive. When shadowing Dr. Dixon, whereas a non-public hospital run by a church, Mukono hospital waves fees for minor providers that they will, and supply some form of payment plan provided that the affected person suggests it first. But, there are times where they have to turn a person away for not with the ability to afford a service.
The overvaluation of popularity You canâ€™t sit with us. In one of this generationâ€™s defining films (the satirical â€śMean Girlsâ€ť), popularity is depicted as the peak aspiration of students in high school. Not only is this grossly oversimplified, but it also lends itself to society overvaluing the important of popularity. Recently, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced the introduction of the category, Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film, to the opposition of most film enthusiasts. Rather than preserving the supposed prestige of the Academy Awards, it is, instead, pandering to general audiences by giving them hope that their favorite blockbuster will show up on awards night. The addition of a â€śBest Popular Filmâ€ť category is inherently exclusive, promoting a culture of discrimination and stratification by excluding films that did not necessarily perform well enough at the box office. This may seem irrelevant to the general public, but the notion of valuing popularity over whether something truly deserves recognition is prevalent in our culture. During school elections, students may often vote based on popularity rather than merit. Although the most popular candidate may not always win, this trend not only sustains a toxic cultural issue, but also discourages people from working hard and truly earning something. Societyâ€™s perpetuation of the false need for popularity is detrimental to the well-being of the population. Popularity is not inherently bad, and those who are well-liked should not be shamed; many people and things that are popular are deservedly so. It is societyâ€™s reaction to popularity that is the problem. Traditionally, being popular means being acknowledged and well-respected. Nevertheless, the perception of popularity has changed over time. According to the research article, â€śUnderstanding Popularity in the Peer Systemâ€ť by Antonius H.N. Cillessen and Amanda J. Rose, those who are perceived as popular are not necessarily the most well liked as the original definition leads people to assume. This differentiation is characterized into two main forms of popularity: sociometric popularity and perceived popularity. Sociometric popularity measures how well an individual is liked and is associated with prosocial behavior (social behavior intended to benefit others). Those with sociometric popularity â€śdisplay high levels ofâ€¦ cooperative behavior and low levels of aggression,â€ť and are often very successful when working with their fellow peers. On the other hand, perceived popularity describes individuals who are known among their peers as being popular. Those with perceived popularity are â€śhighly socially recognized and frequently emulated but rarely likedâ€ť, the type of popularity that is most represented in pop culture. People should be more aware of the unhealthiness of desiring perceived popularity and, instead, strive for sociometric popularity. Ultimately, if achieving popularity means conforming to social norms and doing things that feel unnatural in order to fit in, then it is not worth it.

The disaster affected Logan County, West Virginia. The dams were built on Buffalo Creek in the Buffalo Creek Valley. The dam failure affected sixteen towns: Saunders, Pardee, Lorado, Craneco, Lundale, Stowe, Crites, Latrobe, Robinette, Amherstdale, Becco, Fanco, Braeholm, Accoville, Crown, and Kistler. Victims from these towns started the Citizens Commission. Most of the facts concerning the dam failure, physical property damage, interviews of workers, and psychological evaluations of the victims took place in these towns. In a calculated move by Stern, the charges by the Citizens Commission were brought against Pittston Coal Company in federal court instead of against Buffalo Creek Mining in state court. Many negotiation meetings took place in Manhattan, headquarters for Pittston Coal Company, and in Washington, DC, where the law firm of Arnold and Porter had its offices. The decision to go after Pittston in federal courts instead of suing the previous mine owner, Buffalo Creek Mining, in state courts seemed to be the right decision considering the perceived corruption in the state judicial system. The Governor had tight control over the state's judicial system as he had appointed many judges to their positions. The Governor was largely seen by the Charleston Gazette to favor mining companies, and in 1990 he pleaded guilty to five felony charges of corruption including bribery, obstruction of justice and illegal campaigning. In 1990 he also confessed to taking an unknown monetary payment from Pittston Coal for the settlement of the West Virginia's case against Pittston. The decision to go to federal court was to Pittston's disadvantage because this meant the focus was on them rather than on Buffalo Creek Mining. The Citizens Commission found support in the local papers including the Charleston Gazette. The Charleston Gazette caught the publics interest in the disaster, which eventually led to Arnold and Porter taking the case as pro bono work. The media attention also helped apply pressure to Governor Moore, who was up for re-election, to halt his efforts to build a super highway through the disaster area using federal money earmarked for disaster relief. Most of the media attacks stayed at the local level, and the management of Pittston was sheltered from them in Manhattan and did not feel pressured to act. Pittston also was the largest coal producer in the country and had recently secured a major long-term coal contract with the Japanese. Pittston's customers did not have the flexibility or the choice to pressure Pittston into acting. Go to: MAIN PAGE, WHO, WHAT, HOW, REFERENCES, RELATED COURSES
In C.S. Lewis’ opening Narnian Chronicle titled “The Magician’s Nephew”, one of the main characters, Digory, faces an excruciatingly tough decision. He is tasked by Aslan to go to a tree and pick off an apple. This apple will bring about a “tree of protection” to defend Narnia against the evil that he (Digory) brought into it on the day of its birth. While traveling, he encounters an evil enchantress named Jadis who horribly tempts him. In Digory’s homeland of England, his mother is very sick. He is told by Jadis that picking an apple for her will save her life and bring her healing. Our friend Digory has a choice to make; not whether or not to pick an apple, but for whom the apple he picks will be for. Sometimes obedience isn’t easy. He can pick the apple for Aslan’s purposes and be obedient, but possibly lose his mother in the process. Or, he can pick the apple for his own purposes (which seem honorable), but be disobedient. Which would you choose? Obeying God can sometimes feel like this- impossibly tough choices that seem to have negative outcomes either way- but there’s always blessing at the end of obedience. Digory painfully decides to obey Aslan. “Digory never spoke on the way back, and the others were shy of speaking to him. He was very sad and he wasn’t even sure all the time that he had done the right thing, but whenever he remembered the shining tears in Aslan’s eyes, he became sure.” And in choosing obedience, Aslan grants him a second apple for the healing of his mother. An interesting comment is made by Aslan at their encounter. Aslan tells him that if he had made the wrong choice, his mother would surely have been healed, “but not to your joy or hers. The day would have come when both you and she would have looked back and said it would have been better to die in that illness.” When we allow our loves to be properly ordered, meaning we love God first and foremost, we can truly love everything else. When we put other loves before God, “we will find that we can’t love even them.” Nothing and no one can truly replace God. I retell this story to point to the heart of a passage in Leviticus 26. “If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them, then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit… And I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people.” (vs.3-4,12) “But if you will not listen to me and will not do all these commandments, if you spurn my statutes, and if your soul abhors my rules, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant, then I will do this to you: I will visit you with panic, with wasting disease and fever that consume the eyes and make the heartache. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. I will set my face against you, and you shall be struck down before your enemies. Those who hate you shall rule over you, and you shall flee when none pursues you.” (vs 14-16) The Israelites would experience great blessing by serving God, and great dismay by serving self. There may be times when serving self seems better, but in the end, it will surely lead to death. Following God, even at the cost of severe self-denial, always leads to life. When you consider the choices that you are being faced with today, know and believe that obedience to God is always best. And when things get tough…“Remember the shining tears of Aslan.” Read more from Matt Losee at his personal blog, Looking Unto Jesus
The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar based on calculations of the positions of the Sun and Moon. Months of 29 or 30 days begin on days of astronomical New Moons, with an intercalary month begin added every two or three years. Since the calendar is based on the true positions of the Sun and Moon, the accuracy of the calendar depends on the accuracy of the astronomical theories and calculations. Although the Gregorian calendar is used in the Peoples' Republic of China for administrative purposes, the traditional Chinese calendar is used for setting traditional festivals and for timing agricultural activities in the countryside. The Chinese calendar is also used by Chinese communities around the world. The exact rule for determining the leap months are complicated. Chinese New Year will normally be the New Moon closest to the "Beginning of Spring". (The Beginning of Spring is halfway between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox and usually falls on February 4.) Chinese New Year is normally the second New Moon after Winter Solstice. This can fall anywhere between 21st January and 21st February. Western cultures date the years from the birth of Jesus Christ (For example, 1994 means 1,994 years after the birth of Christ), and thus approach the progression of years from a linear point of view. In traditional China, dating methods were cyclical, meaning that the years repeat according to a pattern. The repetition pattern for the calendar is 60 years. This is made up of two cycles, known as the Stems and the Branches. Stems ans branches the chinese calendar has ten stems: jia, yi, bing, ding, wu, ji, geng, xin, ren and gui. There aren't english equivalents for them. The branches number twelve and they are: zi (rat), chou (ox), yin (tiger), mao (hare), chen (dragon), si (snake), wu (horse), wei (sheep), shen (monkey), you (fowl), jia (dog) and hai (pig). 60 year cycle The 60 year cycle starts with both the Stem and Branch cycles set to one. The next year both are incremented so now stand at two. This continues until year eleven when the Stem cycle returns to one. In year thirteen the Branch cycle restarts while the Stem increments to three. This sequence continues until both cycles are back at one together. This will be year one of the next 60 year cycle. The years are named after the animals of the Branch, so the names form a twelve year cycle. The years are only counted within the cycles, there is no count of the number of the cycle. Historical dates are defined by the name of the emperor who was reigning at the time together with the sixty year cycle number. The current cycle began on 2nd February 1984 AD. Since the length of the lunar cycle is approximately 29.53 days, each month has either 29 or 30 days. There are twelve months in a year except when an intercalary month is added for adjustment. Months do not have names, only numbers. The normal year consists of 353, 354 or 355 days depending on when the new moon occurs. Leap years have 383, 384 or 385 days. The rules for governing when a new year starts and when a leap year is needed are complicated. The calculations for this are performed by the staff of the Purple Mountain Observatory, Academia Sinica, Nanjing, China. In Chinese astrology the zodiac of twelve animal signs represents twelve different types of personality. The zodiac traditionally begins with the sign of the Rat, and there are many stories about the Origins of the Chinese Zodiac which explain why this is so (see below). The following are the twelve zodiac signs in order and their characteristics. People born in the Year of the Rat are noted for their charm and charisma.

They are quick tempered yet hate to argue. They are most compatible with Rabbits and Sheep.
A material library, or a designer’s dreamland, is indeed a magical place. ArchiExpo e-Mag visited Cité du Design’s materials library in Saint-Etienne, France. Inspiration, innovation and human connection all play a part in the system here. We later phoned Alexandre Peutin, head of the materials library, to better understand how they work and what’s coming up. ArchiExpo e-Mag: How would you describe the materials library? Alexandre Peutin: It’s a place for research and study dedicated to materials and a link between professionals. We bring people together to reconsider existing materials in order to create innovation. ArchiExpo e-Mag: Can you give an example of the partnership between the materials library and ESDL for Cité du Design’s Biennial? Alexandre Peutin: This partnership allows design students to work with a specific company, where they learn its savoir faire and develop an eco-design. Our role is connecting the students and the companies. It’s good for the company because they get to discover design, a concept they’re not necessarily familiar with, and often this gives them more desire to work with designers in the future. Most companies end up working with the student once they’ve become professional designers. Most of the project prototypes will be presented during our Biennial in 2017. Design student Vanja Basic is paired with kitchen and bathroom company Gomet Granit which specializes in marble. This will be one of the surprise projects presented at the Biennial in March. ArchiExpo e-Mag: Do you have any new methods for connecting people together for innovation? Alexandre Peutin: We’re starting another student program where we mix designers and engineers by group. They’ll be working with specific materials and will have one month to develop a project. We’ll then get business students involved to study the economic feasibility of the project, and later connect with manufacturers and brands who could be interested in taking the project further.
Milwaukee Sex Discrimination Lawyer Are you a woman being paid less than men are paid to do the same job at your Milwaukee workplace? Are you a man being kept out of a “traditionally female” occupation without justification? Wisconsin sex discrimination attorneys at the law firm of Alan C. Olson & Associates, s.c., devote their careers to the cause of justice for employees. To schedule a free initial consultation regarding your sex discrimination complaints, contact Alan C. Olson & Associates, s.c. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act (“WFEA”) make it an unlawful employment practice for an employer to discriminate against employees on the basis of gender. The Equal Pay Act also states that it is illegal to pay women less than men who do similar work. That is, men and women must be given equal pay for equal work. Gender discrimination may take one of two forms: disparate treatment & disparate impact. Disparate treatment is the more direct form of discrimination, treating someone differently simply based on gender. Disparate impact is a type of discrimination that is not always apparent. This discrimination is generally the result of company policies and other practices genders that result in genders being treated differently, even in the absence of intent. Gender discrimination may occur when an employer uses stereotypes to prevent a person from obtaining employment in certain positions. The idea of “men’s work” and “women’s work”, while waning, is nonetheless still present and can influence whether or not an applicant obtains the job he or she wants. In addition, discrimination is also committed when refusal to offer a job to a woman is based on concern that it would be “wasted” since her commitment to a job is secondary to her desire to raise a family. If you feel you have been discriminated against on the basis of your gender, please contact us to discuss your options.

Colonel Astor's day. He had the gout and used to swear something terrible. . . . I remember seeing him once, a red-faced old man with long white hair and a silk skullcap over his baldspot. He had a parrot named Tobias and people going along the street never knew whether it was Tobias or Judge Burkhart cussing," "Ah well, times have changed," said Aunt Emily. Jimmy sat in his chair with pins and needles in his legs. Mother's had a stroke and next week I'll go back to school. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. . . . He and Skinny coming back from playing with the hoptoads down by the pond, in their blue suits because it was Sunday afternoon. Smokebushes were in bloom behind the barn. A lot of fellows teasing little Harris, calling him Iky because he was supposed to be a Jew. His voice rose in a singsong whine; "Cut it fellers, cant you fellers. I've got my best suit on fellers." "Oy Oy Meester Solomon Levy with his best Yiddisher garments all marked down," piped jeering voices. "Did you buy it in a five and ten Iky?" "I bet he got it at a firesale." "If he got it at a firesale we ought to turn the hose on him." "Let's turn the hose on Solomon Levy." "Oh stop it fellers." "Shut up; dont yell so loud." "They're juss kiddin, they wont hurt him," whispered Skinny. Iky was carried kicking and bawling down towards the pond, his white tearwet face upside down. "He's not a Jew at all," said Skinny. "But I'll tell you who is a Jew, that big bully Fat Swanson." "His roommate told me." "Gee whiz they're going to do it." They ran in all directions. Little Harris with his hair full of mud was crawling up the bank, water running out of his coatsleeves.
Submitted by Andy McIlvain. If you listen carefully you can hear Gods whispers echoing around us. He is always there; he never ceases, whispering, speaking, and beckoning to us. God’s whispers are present in his revelations through creation, which surrounds us. The humming of electrons, the buzz of a fly, the footfall of an elephant, the roar of thunder, and the fall of a single sparrow (Matthew 10:29) are all known and heard by him. Continue reading

Olaf T. Engvig, originally from Rissa, Norway, holds a graduate degree in maritime history from the University of Oslo. He is internationally known for his lifelong commitment to saving and protecting historic boats and ships. He has received numerous grants and quite a few special awards for his ship preservation accomplishments, including the Saint Olaf's Medal from King Olav V of Norway and the Gold Medal of Merit from King Harald V of Norway for his work saving and restoring historic vessels. Olaf Engvig has Published a New Hardcover Book - Available in English and Norwegian! The Ships That Built the West: The Scandinavian Navy, WAPAMA and VÆRDALEN After completing the restoration of the VÆRDALEN in 2015, Olaf Engvig worked hard to finish a long-awaited book on the Scandinavian Navy's positive impact on the Pacific Coast, the sailing history of the WAPAMA and sad tale of her last years and Olaf's decades-long quest to salvage and restore the historic vessel, the VÆRDALEN. The VÆRDALEN, a Norwegian hybrid ship with a sail and a small steam engine driving the propeller, is now the sole survivor representing the famed fleet of lumber carriers named the Scandinavian Navy. Engvig's latest book is full of stories of the maritime history of numerous Scandinavian ships, captains, sailors and how they helped build the U.S. west coast. Olaf Engvig's The Ships That Built the West is available in both English and Norwegian. Both books are hard cover and contain great photos and illustrations. The Ships That Built the West is the winner of the 9th Karl Kortum Maritime History Award, a program of the Friends of Pacific Maritime History, (formerly the Friends of the San Francisco Maritime Museum Library). This honor has been publicized by the National Maritime Historical Society at their - Learn more about Engvig's book The Ships That Built the West: The Scandinavian Navy, WAPAMA and VÆRDALEN. - See more photos of the VÆRDALEN. - Purchase any of Olaf Engvig's books. Legends in Sail For the first time, the stories of some of the world's most famous ships are published in English. The memory of Norway's great days in sail has faded due to language issues. Almost none of this information has been available internationally, until now. Legends in Sail is a beautifully illustrated book detailing the history of legendary ships whose reputation will live forever. They traveled worldwide, and gained fame for many reasons. Education, expeditions, film and adventure are key words in their saga. They set unbeatable records and helped discover the last unmapped areas of the planet. Even to this day they inspire all who seek challenges and new exciting adventures. We invite you to learn more about Legends in Sail, Olaf T. Engvig's latest book about sailing ships and maritime history. Viking to Victorian: Exploring the Use of Iron in Ship Building Engvig's previous book, Viking to Victorian: Exploring the Use of Iron in Ship Building, details how wrought iron was used in Norwegian Viking ships, as well as ships built from iron, such as the STAR OF INDIA, S/S HANSTEEN, FALLS OF CLYDE, ELISSA, AF CHAPMAN and many other vessels of importance to maritime history and shipbuilding. This volume on ship building also includes an exciting account of Engvig's square sailing in his Viking longboat HITRA across the North Sea, navigating as the Vikings did, without modern navigational instruments. Additionally, he explores various other aspects of iron ship preservation of special interest, especially now that TITANIC's iron rivets are discussed among maritime history buffs. Engvig sheds light on the use of Viking gilden vanes and that the Vikings set up shipyards in America a thousand years ago.

Many organisations confuse their goal with their vision, mission or purpose. When I help my clients define their goal, I specifically ask for an answer of at least how much by no later than when? It’s not a target, but rather a bearing with two coordinates. If you can make more, sooner, then why not? [Listen to audio version, read by David Hodes] In a game, like basketball, you have to score at least more than your rival team by no later than the full-time whistle. Without the whistle, Michael Jordan might have been correct to claim: ‘I’ve never lost a game, I just ran out of time’. Goal setting is an essential part of any organisation’s life and is no trivial matter. For without setting one, how are you supposed to know where you are headed, or how you are supposed to get there? This begs the question as to who has the right to set the goal? Is it the board? The workers? The customers? In August of 2019, 181 CEOs from the Business Roundtable in the USA signed a document that committed them to lead their companies for the benefit of all stakeholders—customers, employees, suppliers, communities and shareholders. Released with the statement was this announcement from Jamie Dimon, CEO and Chairman of JP Morgan Chase & Co: ‘The American dream is alive, but fraying. Major employers are investing in their workers and communities because they know it is the only way to be successful over the long term. These modernised principles reflect the business community’s unwavering commitment to continue to push for an economy that serves all Americans.’ Alex Gorsky, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Johnson and Johnson and Chair of the Business Roundtable Corporate Governance Committee, had this to add: ‘This new statement better reflects the way corporations can and should operate today. It affirms the essential role corporations can play in improving our society when CEOs are truly committed to meeting the needs of all stakeholders.’ At the risk of alienating my free market confreres, I think the statement is a lot of tosh. In the first place, it is the shareholders’ right to set the goal of the company. After all, it is their money—be they private investors, consortia, joint ventures, pension funds or anything else. When times get tough, it’s the shareholders who sit at the back of the queue wearing the risk, not the customers, the employees or the community in which they operate. The board, as the executive of the organisation, has the role of providing strategies, plans, tactics and operations within an ethical governance framework that abides by the law and meets the risk and reward appetite of the shareholders. Having delighted customers, fulfilled employees and welcoming communities are necessary conditions of outsized success, but they are not to be confused with the goal. Thus, my advocacy, when formulating a goal statement, is to always include the moral dimensions as necessary conditions of the goal, incorporate the principles of my Just Work Manifesto, and ensure that we do not sacrifice long-term future prosperity to short-term expediency. The Logical Thinking Process (LTP) defines two classes of logic: necessary condition and sufficient cause. In brief, the class of logic used defines how the entities connect. An entity is a single logical statement. In the examples above, the one on the left is a necessary-condition statement. It is read from the entity at the tip of the arrow to the one on the bottom: In order to meet my KPIs, I must have zero lost-time injuries. This does not mean that having zero lost-time injuries is sufficient to meet my KPIs, but it does make clear that if I have a lost-time injury, then I will not meet my KPIs. The diagram on the right is a sufficient-cause diagram, read from the entity at the base of the arrow to the one at the tip. The ellipse covering all three connectors is a logical ‘and’ statement. Thus, if we have zero lost-time injuries and we do not exceed the budgeted costs, and we produce our agreed-on volume, then I meet my KPIs. To gain sufficiency such that I meet my KPIs, I must meet all three conditions. As a side note, I use the square boxes and straight lines for necessary condition diagrams (the Goal Tree and Evaporating Cloud) and the curved boxes and lines for the sufficient cause diagrams (the Current and Future Reality trees). There is something stark and bare-boned about necessary conditions, whereas sufficient cause has, so to speak, more flesh on those bones. I recommend you make the layout of the diagrams as pleasing to the eye as possible. It is demanding enough of our cognitive capacity to wrestle with the logic of the entities and how they link together, without placing additional demand to get past a poorly laid-out diagram. The Goal Tree is an example of a necessary-condition diagram, sometimes referred to in the literature as a prerequisite tree or an intermediate objectives (IO) map. Our first job as systems thinkers is to define the boundary of the system. In our case, we will look at the enterprise level, be it a strategic business unit of a large corporate or a for-profit SME. At this level, there is accountability for both the profit and loss, as well as the balance sheet. If you are in a goal-oriented business, then you likely have ambitions for growth. Serious conversations are occurring at this time in the history of our civilisation, questioning the underlying assumptions of unlimited growth on a planet with finite resources. Bearing this in mind, can a business, for example, achieve a sustainable presence in its marketplace without any growth? My reflections on these questions leave me with the thought that birth, growth, decline and death are a fundamental part of nature, so I cannot see how to excise growth from the cycle. Innovation gives birth to new businesses, they grow to fulfil the potential of their underlying idea, and unless there is a renewal, ultimately, they die. For this exercise, we will define the boundary of our system as being at the level of the strategic business unit—that is, where there are profit and loss and balance-sheet accountability. Based on the arguments above, a good enough goal statement could be: The word ‘competitive’ refers to the notion that if you want to attract investors, your returns should at least be competitive with the next best investment your shareholders might make. The ‘now’ part of the statement means safeguarding today’s results, whereas the future addresses the business vision of its leadership. While every business is unique, you would not be able to achieve the goal without addressing the three universal critical success factors of technology, people and process. We call them critical success factors, as they represent the end state you would like to see in place when you are accomplishing success after success in delivering the goal. In the ordering of the critical success factors, I have stated that first, we must ‘profoundly transform with technology’. Why? Only when we have technology revolutions, do we see a step-change in prosperity—whether it is the wheel, the steam engine, electricity, the transistor, the internet or our latest transformation into the digital economy. Turning new technologies into profitable growth cannot be accomplished without developing people or engineering new processes. To make it sustainable over the long haul, it becomes critical to develop the amazing in people and ensure that the engineered processes are seamless. Below the level of the critical success factors are the necessary conditions, which could contain the following: One of the aspects of the Goal Tree is that when used as a high-level systems roadmap, although built from the top down, it is executed from the bottom up. Thus, the starting point to achieving the goal of growing competitive shareholder returns now and in the future is to inspire systemic innovation. When you elaborate on the detail within each box, you can turn the tree 90-degrees clockwise and see it as a sequenced plan. The purpose of this article is not to go into the details of the specifics of each of these entities or the reason I have connected the logic in the way I have. I aim to give you the opportunity to see how the LTP symbology works in a necessary-condition Goal Tree by applying it to a very general case. You can learn more about this case from my book More Than Just Work. In the meantime, I invite you to test my logic by applying the logic checks from the Logical Thinking Process. After all, what use is a theory if it can’t be articulated, tested and communicated? And while a colleague once defined theory as ‘the dinner jacket you remove when your car gets a puncture’, Deming noted that ‘rational behaviour requires theory. Reactive behaviour requires only reflex action’. The Goal Tree is a powerful means of providing you with a theory of how you might achieve your goal. And a way to introduce it into the organisation on a single large page so everyone is crystal clear on not only what it is, but also what’s needed to get there. This article is part of a series on the Logical Thinking Process. Part 1: Intro to the Logical Thinking Process Part 2: Setting your goal Part 3: Mapping your current reality Part 4: Deciding with the evaporating cloud Part 5: Realising the future The change from standard thinking to Theory of Constraints (TOC) is both profound and exhilarating.

POLICY • BRIEF European Institute of Women’s Health Pregnancy and Smoking According to the European Commission: “Smoking during pregnancy is one of the biggest yet avoidable causes of illness and death for both mother and infant. Nonetheless, epidemiological studies show that between 11% and 30% of pregnant women smoke or are passively exposed to tobacco smoke.” 2 Smoking, particularly carbon monoxide (CO) and nicotine from cigarettes, has negative impacts on both maternal and foetal health. Nicotine and CO reduces foetal oxygen supply. In addition, nicotine increases foetal blood pressure. Moreover, due to placental characteristics, nicotine and CO levels in the foetus are significantly higher than those found in the mother. 3 Smoking and maternal health Women who smoke during pregnancy are at elevated risk of: - Stillbirth: the risk nearly doubles in pregnant smokers compared to non-smokers. - Perinatal mortality: 150% greater in smoking than non-smoking women. - Ectopic pregnancy: 1.6x greater in women smoking 1-5 cigarettes a day and 2.3x greater in women smoking 11-20 cigarettes a day than non-smoking women. - Placental abruption (placenta detachment from uterine wall before delivery): risk increases 23% in women smoking less than one pack a day and 86% in women smoking more than one pack daily compared to non-smokers. - Placenta previa (placenta covering of the uterine opening): pregnant smokers had an increased the risk of placenta previa of 1.58x compared to non-smokers. - Premature labour: accounts for 15% of premature labour. 4, 5 ,6 Smoking and foetal health Infants born to mothers who smoke while pregnant are at an increased risk of: - Behaviour disturbances: smoking during pregnancy is associated with ADHD in children and with increased risk of hyperactivity, learning difficulties & distractibility. - Birth defects, including cleft lip or palate: the risk of birth defects in an infant is over 25% higher for pregnant smokers than in non-smokers. - Decreased respiratory function: smoking during pregnancy is a basic risk factor for asthma in childhood. - Infant mortality: nearly doubled in children born to women who had smoked during pregnancy compared to non smokers. - Low birthweight & underweight during infancy: Infants born to women that smoked during pregnancy as 200-250g lighter than those born to non smokers. - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS): 2.3x greater risk of SIDS in infants whose mothers smoked compared to those did not smoke during pregnancy. Children exposed to smoking en utero also at increased risk of asthma, respiratory infection, adult emphysema, infant colic, long-term growth impairment, intellectual disability, reproductive organ issues and breast disease. 7, 8 ,9, 10 Passive smoking and pregnancy Research finds that pregnant women who did not smoke themselves but were exposed to smoke at work or home had a 23% increased risk of stillbirth and 13% increased risk of having a baby with defects compared to women who were not exposed to passive smoking during pregnancy. Exposure to more than 10 cigarettes a day was sufficient for increased risk. 11 Studies also show that infants whose mothers were exposed to passive smoke during pregnancy were at increased risk for poor physiological, sensory, motor and attention responses compared to infants whose mothers had not been exposed to passive smoking while pregnant regardless of socio-economic, obstetric and paediatric factors. Nicotine exposure in utero negatively affected infant neurobehavioural development.12 Third hand smoking and pregnancy Third hand smoke comprises of toxins from tobacco smoke that remain on clothing, in hair, in cars, on furniture or in carpets a long time after someone has finished smoking a cigarette. Studies indicate that prenatal exposure to known can have adverse impacts on the foetus’ future health. Third hand smoke exposure during pregnancy can cause serious damage to infant lung development, damage that may be significantly worse than postnatal exposure to second hand smoke as these toxins build up over time. This exposure can also lead to the development of asthma and other respiratory ailments later in life.13 Smoking and conception Tobacco affects every system involved in reproduction, impacting both men and women. For instance, smoking can make conception more difficult, particularly when in vitro fertilisation (IVF) is being utilised. Overall, male and female smokers have lower fertility levels than non-smokers. 14, 15 There is no safe amount of cigarettes with regard to smoking, but effects are increase as the number of cigarettes smoked increases. Conception thus takes longer for smokers than for non-smokers. The chances of conception are 10-40% lower in women who smoke than in women who do not smoke. Individuals whose mothers smoked while pregnancy have lowered fertility levels. 16, 17 The cigarette smoking impacts hormone production that is necessary for pregnancy. Smoking also impedes the transportation of the egg through the Fallopian tubes to the womb.18 According recent studies, smoking during pregnancy even impacts the future fertility of male infants.19 Smoking breast feeding Smoking impedes breast milk development as smokers produce on average about 250 ml. less of breast milk per day than non smokers. Prolactin is a hormone that is essential to breast milk production. Smokers have a lower level of prolactin that non smokers; nicotine has been connected to reduced prolactin levels.21 Smoking and childhood asthma Studies have recently found that smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of asthma in children even when children were not exposed to asthma after birth. Children exposed to smoking in the womb were two thirds more likely to have asthma by the age six compared to children whose mothers did not smoke during pregnancy. Smoking only during the first trimester, in cases where women quit smoking for the second and third trimester. was linked to higher asthma risk in children as well.22 Pregnant smoker characteristics Pregnant smokers are more likely to be single, unemployed or in unskilled occupations, have low levels of education, having an unplanned pregnancy, attending clinic late or irregularly, living with a partner who smokes and interacting socially with smokers, and have smoked throughout a previous pregnancy than pregnant non smokers.23 These characteristics make pregnant smokers difficult to effectively target through smoking cessation programmes. Smoking cessation programmes with incentives have been shown to be the most effective type of programming to successfully assist women in quitting smoking.24 Smoking cessation during pregnancy studies illustrate that women who quit smoking early in their pregnancy delivered babies with a similar birth weight and head circumferences to those born to mothers who had never smoked. Early smoking cessation also reduced the rates of pre-term births. Couples quitting smoking around the time of conception will also be beneficial to infant health.25 Research on women from Eastern and Northern Europe indicated that women with higher levels of education and higher household income are more likely to quit smoking during pregnancy than those with lower levels of education in household income.26 Nicotine Replacement Therapy and pregnancy To aid women to quit smoking during pregnancy, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT has often been recommended to women). Using NRT during pregnancy remains controversial, as NRT contains the toxin nicotine; the safety of NRT use during pregnancy is not fully known. Recent studies suggest that utilising NRT during pregnancy has no serious impact on the risk of stillbirth and other adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. However, research also suggests that some NRT like the patch may be less effective in pregnant women as their bodies metabolise nicotine faster than non-pregnant women. 27, 28 Steps for Policy Action 1) Increase awareness of the harms of exposure to smoking prior to and during pregnancy. Exposure to smoking during pregnancy is one of the largest and avoidable causes of mortality and morbidity in both mother and infant. At the same time, smoking among young women, women in their prime childbearing years, is increasing. Increased awareness throughout the EU of these dangers is need, particularly among high-risk groups. 2) Improve existing EU data collection on pregnancy and smoking. Currently, little data collection occurs at EU level examining pregnancy smoking and exposure prevalence and its impact on maternal and infant health across the 27 Member States. Data should be collected annually at the national and EU levels on smoking prevalence and exposure during pregnancy as well as on its health impacts. The data will enable the effective combatting of smoking throughout pregnancy and monitor the effectiveness of intervention programmes across the EU. 3) Examine the effect of social determinants on smoking exposure and smoking cessation effectiveness during pregnancy. Exposure to smoking and effectiveness smoking cessation during pregnancy appear to be linked to various factors including education and income. Further research on these social determinants is needed to determine how to be design policy and programming to reduce pregnant women’s exposure to smoking and encourage smoking cessation. 4) Encourage more research and development of policy and programming to effectively encourage smoking exposure and smoking cessation. Smoking exposure during pregnancy has large impacts on maternal and infant health. Smoking cessation during pregnancy can be highly effective. Policies and programmes that effectively target pregnant women and support women to continue smoking cessation after pregnancy should be research and developed. The effectiveness and safety of existing techniques in pregnant women needs to be studied. 5) Provide effective supports to women who are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant that smoke to help them quit for their health and for the health of their foetus. Many women in Europe smoke or are exposed to smoke during their pregnancy. The healthcare systems and communities more broadly need to develop programming and support structures targeted specifically at women who are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant that smoke. Women and their partners need to be educated about the risks of smoking and need support them throughout their pregnancies to initiate and maintain smoking cessation.

High Tunnel Construction for the Mississippi Gardener A high tunnel, or hoop house, is basically a primitive greenhouse. Unlike greenhouses, high tunnels are unheated and have no fans, powered vents, lights, or anything running on electricity or fossil fuels. Plants are grown in the ground or in raised beds just as they are in the garden. High tunnels provide season extension for your garden by allowing you to harvest fall crops into the winter and plant spring crops weeks earlier than usual. Because high tunnels provide a controlled environment for your garden, pest pressure from some insects, diseases, and weeds can be reduced. However, since rainfall will not reach your garden, it is important to provide irrigation. You can water by hand or use a soaker hose or drip irrigation. High tunnels are available in many sizes and at a wide range of prices. Building a basic high tunnel for your home garden can be done simply and on a small budget. Following are the materials list, recommended tools list, and instructions for building a 10-foot by 12-foot home high tunnel. - 10 – 2-inch 4-inch by 10-foot pressure-treated boards - 4 – 2-inch by 4-inch 12-foot pressure-treated boards - 4 – 1-inch by 20-foot PVC pipes - 8 – 1¼-inch by 6-inch PVC pipes - 8 – 1-inch by 1¼-inch PVC reducing couplings - 8 – 1-inch by 24-inch galvanized pipes - 16 pipe straps - 20-foot by 25-foot, 4-mil clear plastic sheeting - Miscellaneous deck screws (1 inch, 1½ inch, and 2½ inch) - Door hinges - PVC Cleaner - PVC Glue - Circular saw - Carpenter’s hammer - Electric drill (cordless or wired) - PVC pipe cutter or hacksaw - Staple gun - Utility knife - Tape measure Ideally, you should select an area of your yard that is level, has full sun exposure, and is free of obstructions such as trees, playground equipment, and outbuildings. In Mississippi, the long side (12-foot) of the high tunnel should be oriented north-south to minimize shadowing, but an east-west orientation will also be productive. You need to know where any underground utilities may be located. Homeowners undertaking projects that involve excavation or digging must provide their utility companies at least a 48-hour notice. Dialing the 811 service will connect you with the Mississippi call center and alert participating electric, gas, cable, and phone companies about the planned digging so they can mark the appropriate location of underground lines if necessary. You are responsible for marking your private lines, such as invisible pet fences, sprinkler systems, yard lights, and gas grill lines. More information can be found at Know What’s Below, Call 811 Before You Dig at http://call811.com. Step-by-Step Building Instructions - Step 1: Line up the 2 by 4-inch baseboards—two 10-foot boards and two 12-foot boards. Secure them with 2½-inch deck screws. - Step 2: Dig or drill holes for the eight pieces of galvanized pipe in each corner and along each long side to a depth of approximately 12 to 18 inches. - Step 3: Set the galvanized pipe using a hammer, leaving about 6 inches of pipe above the baseboards. At this point, you could use concrete to stabilize each post if you dug holes larger than the diameter of the galvanized pipe. - Step 4: Glue a 6-inch section of 1¼-inch PVC pipe to each end of a 1-inch-wide, 20-foot-long PVC pipe using the PVC reducing couplings. - Step 5: Slide the PVC pipe onto the ends of the galvanized pipe. - Step 6: Check to ensure the PVC pipe is straight. - Step 7: Repeat the process to make and install the other three 20-foot bows on the remaining galvanized pipes. - Step 8: Secure the PVC bows to the base using pipe straps and 1½-inch deck screws. - Step 9: Install the doorframe and 12-foot cross member for stability and support. - Step 10: Install the doors. - Step 11: Pull the plastic sheeting over the completed frame and secure it to the 24-inch base using screws or heavy-duty staples.

Imagine our current world as a river. On one side of the river stand people who are going to be parents. On the other side stand the children they will have. The parents are inviting the children across the river and into our world. But like most rivers, there are safe and dangerous places to cross. Some kids never make it across. Some get across but with lasting damage because it was so unsafe for them. Others cross in ankle deep water with everything they need and more. Regardless of where they cross, the river is currently being destroyed because of too much strain on the fragile ecosystem, and as kids come across, chaos is ensuing all around the river, with crowds trampling the ecology and muddying the waters. The process has resulted in the river looking like chaos, inequity, and ecological collapse. What if the parents were to work together? Can we build a bridge in the middle of the river that will bring the children over in a way protects them, gives each what they truly need to be healthy and loving parents, ensures equal opportunities in life for all, and protects the ecology of our river? Can the bridge ensure socially and ecologically regenerative communities? Yes we can. This is accomplished by gathering the resources and support from all in our communities to build the bridge, creating a world we all want to live in for generations to come. Fair Start family planning does just that. Join us in building the bridge. Learn more and TAKE ACTION.
How can I stop heartburn at night during pregnancy? Other tips to avoid heartburn during pregnancy: - Sit up straight when you eat. - Don’t eat late at night. - Don’t lie down right after eating. - Keep the head of your bed higher than the foot of the bed. Or try placing pillows under your shoulders. Doing so helps prevent stomach acids from rising into your chest. Why is pregnancy heartburn worse at night? At the same time, pregnancy hormones relax the valve that normally keeps the acid in your stomach, so more of it can get through. You may find that your indigestion and heartburn symptoms get worse when you’re bending forwards, or when you’re lying down at night. How can I relieve heartburn during pregnancy? How Can I Deal With Heartburn During Pregnancy? - Skip foods and drinks that can make it worse, such as citrus; spicy, fatty (especially fried or greasy) foods; caffeine; and carbonated drinks. - Eat several small meals throughout the day. - Take your time when eating. - Drink liquids between — not during — meals. Does heartburn mean a hairy baby? MYTH OR TRUTH: Heartburn means a hairy baby. Answer: TRUTH! Heartburn usually strikes in the third trimester and is due to estrogen causing the esophageal sphincter to relax, which allows stomach acid to splash up into the esophagus. Estrogen appears to be responsible for hair growth in the developing baby. Does milk help with heartburn during pregnancy? Milk and dairy Having milk, preferably skimmed, and dairy products, especially natural yogurt, can help relieve the discomfort caused by heartburn because milk creates a type of barrier in the stomach, decreasing irritation and relieving the symptoms of heartburn. Why does heartburn get worse at night? When you’re laying down, you lose the effect of gravity on the food traveling through your digestive system. Laying down also prevents gravity from keeping bile and acids from traveling up into the esophagus, causing heartburn. Because of this, many people find their heartburn is worse at night. Does drinking milk help heartburn? While it’s true that milk can temporarily buffer stomach acid, nutrients in milk, particularly fat, may stimulate the stomach to produce more acid. Even though milk might not be a great heartburn remedy, however, it’s a rich source of bone-building calcium. Try fat-free skim milk and don’t overdo it. Does water help heartburn? Drinking water during the later stages of digestion can reduce acidity and GERD symptoms. Often, there are pockets of high acidity, between a pH or 1 and 2, just below the esophagus. By drinking tap or filtered water a little while after a meal, you can dilute the acid there, which can result in less heartburn.
There seems to be much uncertainty about why and when the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) might come knocking. This article is not intended to provide an exhaustive overview of the law in this area and it is not intended to provide or amount to legal advice. What is ASIC’s role? The breadth of ASIC’s work as the corporate watchdog vis-à-vis other regulators within Australia is not always fully understood. ASIC is Australia’s integrated corporate, markets, financial services, and consumer credit regulator. ASIC is an independent Australian Government body which was set up under and administers the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (ASIC Act). It carries out most of its work the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act). Broadly speaking, ASIC’s role under the ASIC Act is to: - maintain, facilitate and improve the performance of the financial system and entities in it - promote confident and informed participation by investors and consumers in the financial system - administer the law effectively and with minimal procedural requirements - receive, process and store, efficiently and quickly, information it receives - make information about companies and other bodies available to the public as soon as practicable - take whatever action it can, and which is necessary, to enforce and give effect to the law. ASIC as a regulator ASIC regulates financial services and consumer credit, and authorised financial markets operating in Australia. - in relation to financial services – it licenses and monitors financial services businesses to ensure that they operate efficiently, honestly and fairly. These businesses typically deal in superannuation, managed funds, shares and company securities, derivatives and insurance. - In relation to consumer credit – it licenses and regulates people and businesses engaging in consumer credit activities (including banks, credit unions, finance companies, and mortgage and finance brokers). It ensures that licensees meet the standards – including their responsibilities to consumers – that are set out in the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (National Credit Act). - In relation to markets – it assesses how effectively authorised financial markets are complying with their legal obligations to operate fair, orderly and transparent markets and supervises trading on Australia’s domestic licensed equity, derivatives, and futures markets. What enforcement tools are available to ASIC? Not surprisingly, in order to fulfil its broad mandate, ASIC needs recourse to (and does have) a broad range of powers and remedies. ASIC uses it enforcement powers to: - detect and deal with unlawful conduct, - to recover money in appropriate circumstances, - to prevent unlawful conduct before it happens. Potential breaches of the law are brought to ASIC’s attention in a number of ways, such as: - reports of misconduct from members of the public, - referrals from other regulators, - statutory reports from auditors, insolvency practitioners and licensees, - through its monitoring and surveillance work. ASIC can and does conduct informal investigations, which simply means that it is taking steps to ‘ensure compliance’ with the law. Surveillances are one such method of informal investigation. Even when ASIC is merely ensuring compliance with the law, it has the power to inspect and require the production of books. On the other hand, if ASIC is conducting an ‘investigation’, it has the power to do the following: - inspect and require the production of books, - obtain and execute a search warrant, - conduct an examination and/or seek reasonable assistance. Generally speaking, the power to require the production of books overrides the general rules at common law governing legal professional privilege and self-incrimination. ASIC does not undertake a formal investigation of every matter that comes to its attention. It considers a range of factors when deciding whether to investigate and possibly take enforcement action, to ensure that it utilises its finite resources appropriately. ASIC does and will pursue the enforcement remedies best suited to the circumstances of the case. It can take enforcement action designed to: - punish wrongdoers - protect investors - preserve assets - correct disclosures - compensate people. ASIC also may resolve matters through negotiation or issuing infringement notices. What about the reputation of the business or its officers? An investigation by ASIC may result in significant reputational harm to a business. ASIC will always assert the right to make an enforcement outcome public, unless the law requires otherwise. ASIC will not agree to keep enforcement outcomes secret. This is important for regulatory transparency and effective deterrence. If ASIC comes knocking, it may not necessarily mean that it suspects or believes for some reason that you or other members of your organisation have contravened the law. It may be the case that ASIC is merely taking steps to ensure the law is being complied with. In fact, it is possible that ASIC is knocking on the doors of your competitors or others in your industry or market sector at the same time. A cooperative approach to dealings with ASIC may be of benefit in many ways. Early notification of a breach or a cooperative approach to an investigation will often be relevant to ASIC’s consideration of which remedy or combination of remedies should be pursued. Like any law enforcement or regulatory agency, ASIC is not interested in pursuing those who comply with the law. In our experience, it is apparent that: - ASIC recognises that most within their regulatory ambit have a strong desire and intent to comply with the laws applicable to them. - non-compliance with the law is often merely a symptom of a lack of understanding of the law as opposed to a willful disregard of it. However, as history shows, ASIC will not hesitate to take action, swift and strong, in the appropriate instances. FC Lawyers can advise and assist clients if and when ASIC comes knocking. However, given that prevention is often better than cure, we can also assist clients to better understand the laws applicable to them, and to hopefully avoid that knock on the door.

US Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations drop, deaths still spike Washington, Feb 1 (IANS) Amid a slow and uneven rollout of vaccines against the coronavirus in the US and increasing concerns about new variants, key indicators have revealed an easing of the pandemic across the country, according to a weekly report of The Covid-19 Tracking Project. For a second week in a row, new cases and hospitalisations have dropped nationally, 14 per cent for cases and 12 per cent for hospitalisations, Xinhua news agency quoted the report issued on Sunday as saying. However, cases and hospitalisations remain much higher than at any point before the fall and winter surge, according to The Covid-19 Tracking Project. Currently the country is averaging over 153,000 single-day cases and more than 3,200 daily deaths, according to data by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). On January 30, the country logged a total of 97,561 Covid-19 hospitalisations, the first time below 100,000 since December 1, 2020, according to the tracking project. Tests have also declined for about 3 per cent, which may mean that more cases are being missed. But last week, Covid-19 deaths rose 7 per cent, with states reporting a total of 22,797 fatalities, the tracking project revealed. Deaths lag behind cases. Even with cases falling across the country, there may be another week or more of very high death numbers to come, according to the project. Nationwide, new cases among white and African-Americans were down more than 10 per cent compared to the previous week, and among Latino people over 20 per cent, the second week in a row with fewer new cases for all three groups. In California, the most populous state in the US, Covid-19 deaths surged at record pace as cases decline. An average of 544 people died every day the last week, and on January 30 the state reached the grim milestone of 40,000 fatalities, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The vaccine rollout in the US has drawn great public attention since it started on December 14, 2020. Health experts and officials have blamed states for slow vaccine rollout. About 29.6 million doses have been administered as of January 30, according to CDC data. In its latest update on Monday morning, the Johns Hopkins University revealed that the country’s overall caseload and death toll stood at 26,183,912 and 441,319, respectively.

Exhibition Notes: Missing Pieces ON May 25, 2016 by Carolyn Wakeman Featured image (above): James Martin (English, active in America 1794–1820), Judge William Noyes, ca. 1798. Pastel on paper. Florence Griswold Museum, Museum Purchase with contributions from Geoffrey Paul, David Dangremond, John & Werneth Noyes, and Gay Myers The Florence Griswold Museum’s summer 2016 exhibition Ten/Forty: Collecting American Art at the Florence Griswold Museum celebrates the range and depth of a rapidly expanding collection of American art. In the first gallery hangs a startlingly bold abstraction in vibrant neon hues painted this year by contemporary artist Peter Halley. On another wall a cluster of sharply delineated pastel portraits created more than two centuries earlier offers hauntingly realistic glimpses of family life and fashion in an influential Connecticut town at the turn of the 18th century. James Martin in Lyme Little is known about the pastel artist James Martin, who apparently left England in 1794. The next year he ran an advertisement in the New Jersey Journal describing himself as a “miniature painter from New York, late of Fleet Street, London” and offering to produce portraits in “Oil, Water, and Crayon from $1 to $50.” In 1797 he placed a more detailed notice in the New-York Daily Advertiser: “Portrait Painting, pleasing and striking likeness taken to any size in crayons or pestols [pastels] on moderate terms, at No 8, Wall-street, nearly opposite the presbyterian church, by Mr. Martin, from London. Profile shades taken at 1 dollar each, one minutes sitting only required. Miniatures neatly executed.” If an inscription of unknown origin on the back of one Noyes portrait is accurate, Mr. Martin found customers in Lyme in 1798. Altogether he completed at least seventeen works in town, perhaps on multiple visits, but today only seven have been traced. There are many missing pieces. James Martin (English, active in America 1794–1820), Eunice Marvin Noyes, ca. 1798. Pastel on paper. Florence Griswold Museum, Museum Purchase with contributions from Geoffrey Paul, David Dangremond, John & Werneth Noyes, and Gay Myers His “pleasing and striking” likenesses of Judge William Noyes (1728–1807), Eunice Marvin Noyes (1735–1816), and two of their grandchildren, purchased at auction by the Florence Griswold Museum in 2002, represent only a fraction of James Martin’s work in Lyme. A 140-year old letter tells us that eight other members of the eminent Noyes family, descendants of the town’s first minister, also sat for Mr. Martin. “We have portraits of Judge William and wife and of all his sons and their wifes,” Ellen Noyes Chadwick (1824–1900) wrote in 1874. Whatever connection drew the traveling portraitist from New York to southeastern Connecticut has not been discovered, but at least two other prominent local families also commissioned work from the itinerant British painter. James Martin, Deacon Nathaniel Matson. Pastel on paper. Private Collection. James Martin, Lois Matson. Pastel on paper. Private Collection. Deacon Nathaniel Matson (1765–1861), his wife Mary Sill Matson (1768–1802), and his unmarried sister Lois Matson (1772–1825) also sat for portraits, as did two members of the Lord family. Deacon Matson and Squire Lord, like Judge Noyes, played important roles in town and church affairs. All three families occupied spacious homes and owned extensive property, including Negro slaves who served in their households and worked their land. For at least a decade Deacon Matson also owned grist, woolen, and paper mills in the busy manufacturing section of Lyme along Mill Brook. Nathaniel Matson’s descendants have preserved two of that family’s portraits, but the location of the Lord paintings is not known. Evelyn McCurdy Salisbury (1823–1917) provides detailed descriptions of those portraits of her grandparents in her history of Lyme’s leading families, published in 1892. Mr. Martin, a pastel artist, she writes, painted likenesses of both Richard Lord (1752–1818) and his wife Ann Mitchell Lord (1766–1826). Noting that “they are in the dress of the first years of this century,” Mrs. Salisbury dates the paintings in 1806–7 and observes that “Mr. Lord, then aged about fifty-five, is in a blue coat with a high, rolling velvet collar and large bright buttons, shirt ruffles hanging over the lappels of his coat, a white cambric neckerchief in heavy folds.” Richard Lord House at Tantummaheag, Lyme Historical Society Archives, Florence Griswold Museum Glimpsing Lyme’s Past The four Noyes portraits currently exhibited at the Florence Griswold Museum offer vivid glimpses of Lyme’s past. Judge Noyes served for many years as Associate Justice of the New London County Court, Justice of the Peace in Lyme, and clerk of the Congregational Church. A notebook containing Lyme’s Justice Court records documents his decisions in local civil cases over sixteen years. For theft of 25 yards of cloth in 1790, he required restitution of the cloth, payment of three times its value, and a fine paid to Lyme’s Treasury. Punishment three years later for “wickedly and profanely cursing” another Lyme resident was a fine “and on failure of payment to be Set in the Stocks Two hours.” Local anecdotes emphasize Judge Noyes’ strictness. Mrs. Chadwick writes that her father Enoch Noyes (1789-1877) often spoke “of the uprightness, piety and dignity of his grandfather.” When Judge Noyes traveled with his sons on horseback, he took the lead and instructed them to follow behind. On Saturdays he required family members to gather for many hours while he elaborated on Biblical passages. On Sundays he refused permission to pass through Lyme unless a traveler had an exceptional reason for profaning the Sabbath. When Judge Noyes sat for his portrait, he dressed austerely in a black jacket and folded white neck scarf. Mr. Martin captured the powdered hair swept back from his forehead, the stern set of his jaw, his prominent cheek bones and sharply arched eyebrows, and the piercing intensity of his gaze. Eunice Marvin, who also descended from a landed Lyme family, married William Noyes when she was 21 in 1756. In a string-bound notebook Mrs. Chadwick’s sister Martha Noyes (1833–1874) listed the attributes of their great-grandmother. She described “a person endowed with an uncommon share of good sense” and a “resolution and perseverance in laudable pursuits.” Nine years after her husband’s death, Mrs. Noyes died at age 81 from “a cancerous humor, which she long endured with wonderful patience, & christian fortitude.” The next year her son William Noyes 2nd (1760–1834) freed the last of her Negro slaves. Cruce, or Crausa as she was sometimes known, then 39, had been born into slavery in the Judge’s household in 1778. Cruce was twenty when Mrs. Noyes sat for her portrait wearing a high ribbon-trimmed bonnet, an ochre dress topped with a sheer lace-edged shawl, and a coral bead necklace with matching earrings. In Mr. Martin’s likeness her hooded eyes and down-turned mouth seem to convey sober piety and stalwart resignation.

Florence Griswold Museum, Museum Purchase with contributions from Geoffrey Paul, David Dangremond, John & Werneth Noyes, and Gay Myers James Martin (English, active in America 1794–1820), William Noyes III, ca. 1798. Pastel on paper. Florence Griswold Museum, Museum Purchase with contributions from Geoffrey Paul, David Dangremond, John & Werneth Noyes, and Gay Myers The Noyes grandchildren Abigail (1786–1883) and William (1792–1873), ages 12 and 6 when they sat for their portraits if the 1798 date is reliable, left home as young adults for the prospering Albany area. Auspicious marriages promised lives of continued privilege and comfort. During the War of 1812 they returned to Lyme with young families when Abigail’s husband John Sill, like her brother William, pursued commercial opportunities that followed the lifting of Britain’s wartime blockade of Long Island Sound. To establish his children in Lyme, their father William Noyes 2nd, whose portrait has not been discovered, engaged the talented architect Samuel Belcher (1779–1849), then building an elegant Meetinghouse in town, to design gracious homes on adjacent parcels of Noyes land. Completed in 1818, the stately dwellings assured the stature of the Noyes family’s younger generation. Today the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts and the Florence Griswold Museum occupy the former Noyes homes. Neither of the Judge’s grandchildren settled permanently in Lyme. Unpaid customs duties in New York state embroiled John Sill in a decade of legal controversy during which he was confined for an interval in New Haven’s jail. Payment of customs debts, fines, and legal fees ruined him financially, and by 1820 he was forced to sell his home, its furnishings, his carriage and sleigh, and even Abigail’s monogrammed silver. John Sill’s later life is scantily documented, but after years of poor health, he died in Port Chester, New York, in 1852. Left alone after the deaths of her two sons, Abigail moved to Newark, her mother’s family home, far from her Noyes relatives. William and his wife Hannah raised their four children in the Samuel Belcher-designed mansion considered to be Lyme’s grandest dwelling. Over more than two decades he invested in warehouses, wharves, a blacksmith shop, and a general merchandise store with local partners. Apparently intending to expand his local mercantile interests, he built a prominent brick storehouse on a corner of his estate in 1834. Three years later financial opportunity and family ties drew him back to the Albany area where he invested in a new business with a son-in-law. Whether William maintained contact with his sister Abigail during her decades of family difficulty is not known. Gravestones in New York state mark the final resting places of Judge Noyes’ grandchildren, whom James Martin had painted at a moment of youthful promise. For her portrait Abigail wore a dress of white cambric softly gathered at the neckline with simple hoop earrings. The artist emphasized her fashionably curled auburn ringlets and used subtle shading around her eyes to add a sense of wistfulness to her quietly alluring innocence. Her brother dressed for his sitting as an adult in a blue jacket and ruffled white shirt, his hair powdered and held with a tortoise shell comb, his fingers conspicuously marking a page in a red book to suggest an interruption in his reading. The portrait of William as a young scholar announces his intelligence and seriousness of purpose, perhaps conveying the expectation that like his father he might someday graduate from Yale. Much more will be learned about Lyme’s distinguished early residents and the work of a traveling New York portraitist if James Martin’s other commissions in town can be located.

This arrangement combines two melodies that, at first glance, seem completely unrelated in temperament. “Come O Long Expected Jesus” is based on the hymn tune JEFFERSON, an early American tune first published in Alexander Johnson’s Tennessee Harmony in 1818. “Sim Shalom” is a traditional Yiddish folk song and blessing. The chords are fantastic and the introduction is so good. From Christa: I was struck by how much these two separate melodies from different cultures share – not just a modal melody with similar harmonies – but a shared longing for redemption through peace, hope, healing and light. This is an ideal choice of music for an interfaith service.

I seem to end up asking this more than once, so apologies, but so far no real answer has been provided. Is there any way in the xpath to constraint the list in a datagrid to only show one unique item out of several with the same details. E.g. I have a list of records with a code. Lets say Registration. The registration as a 1:m relationship with assessments table. I'm looking for a particular attribute (Rating) in assessments and because I know that the attribute will have the same value for the same registration, for example 5 assessments for registration REG123 will have the same detail in attribute Rating (3 star). I would like to just display one row of REG123 with first assessment record. I would like to do this without having to go around my existing tables and create new table to filter the data or add boolean flags, etc etc. [Rating cannot be part of Registration - legacy, no much we can do about] Basically is there a way to use a statement like in SQL ... DISTINCT to just return a unique value. Could LIMIT be used against a field?!... (just a thought). I know there are answers out there pointing at creating entities and filtering the data with microflows, etc. Although this has been done in the past, is not really efficient and having to create new objects so that we can display data is not really the way to do things. SO... how could we constraint to a unique value in xpath for a datagrid? Many thanks, LR. You could create a report pane and show the distinct values. May be I am missing the exact point you want to achieve, but I think this should be doable with combining lists. Create a list of assessments. Retrieve all the assessments of REG123. Now loop over them and check if the attribute is already in the just created list. If not add else skip. In the end you have I think the list you want to show as a source for a form.
[From John Hennessy, with great thanks to Kerri Barile of Dovetail Cultural Resources Group for the dig photos. Bear in mind that in this instance, I am just the reporter. ALL the hard work here was done by the Dovetail archaeologists.] This week archaeologists are working in advance of the continued development of parkland between Sophia Street and the Rappahannock. As we have written before, Sophia Street below the Chatham Bridge has always been an eclectic, sometimes homely, mix of workplace and homeplace, with much change taking place over the decades. Still, its basic function as Fredericksburg’s all-purpose neighborhood remained intact for more than two centuries, until the demand for parking for downtown visitors prompted the transformation of riverside Sophia. Steadily, residences have been removed or transformed. Nowadays, hardly anyone lives on this part of Sophia. Many believed that the constant change along Sophia Street likely destroyed much evidence of the robust community that once thrived along the street. This week’s archaeological work, done by Dovetail Cultural Resources Group, has shown otherwise. The work has uncovered the foundations of four major antebellum buildings, one of them new to us. This is a famous picture, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1927. The buildings shown here stood just south of Shiloh Baptist Church (old site). The work this week has revealed the building’s foundations vividly. Behind these buildings at what was 719 Sophia Street stood a large community ice house, built about 1832 and in use until the early 20th century. The ice house shows up clearly in the great 1863 panorama of Fredericksburg. It’s the low-roofed building next to the African Baptist Church. They also uncovered the foundation of a house we had never noticed before, though it’s visible in the great 1863 panorama. This was a house that stood behind Absalom Rowe’s main residence. While I did not get a photo of the foundation while it was exposed (the crew was able to take a quick look only before the trench was filled in), it was something of a revelation that the foundation remained. The adjacent ground was built up considerably when the adjacent Masonic Lodge was built in 1921, and no one had much hope that the antebellum foundations would remain. But they do. The building in question is the one immediately beyond Ab Rowe’s outhouse in the foreground. The archaeological work on Sophia Street will continue through tomorrow, Saturday. Stop by if you have the chance. Here is the panorama from which the above images are taken.
Recently my husband and I decided to learn to Do Canning. After reading up on the process and gathering supplies, we took our pup to the local Farmer’s Market, bought 20 damn pounds of tomatoes, brought them home, turned them into sauce, and then canned that. All our jars sealed correctly, which left me feeling like kind of a badass. So if you’ve been considering canning and want some beginner tips from a fellow first-timer, read on. Beginner Canning Tip #1: Do Your Research The main thing I learned when looking into canning was that it’s important to follow modern safety guidelines. Recipes or techniques handed down from older relatives may not line up with current recommendations. Some of this has to do with food safety research, but it’s also related to the fact that some of our ingredients have changed over time. Fresh tomatoes, for example, tended to be more acidic back when our grandparents were growing or buying them. Most tomatoes these days don’t have that same level of acid, so they can’t be safely canned using vintage recipes. Beginner Canning Tip #2: Pick a Tested Recipe, and Stick to It Thankfully you don’t have to memorize every little bit of that safety info if you choose a recipe that’s been tested by food scientists. (I got the sauce recipe we used from a recent Ball canning book from my local library.) And once you find a recipe, follow it closely. Since there are several factors that go into canning safety, you may end up with spoiled food if you change the amounts or types of ingredients. Beginner Canning Tip #3: Have a Strategy for Finding Supplies Canning is something I’ve been curious about trying for a long time, so of course I waited to do it for the first time during a pandemic when everyone else is also staying home and trying to learn new life skills. This has lead to a nationwide shortage of canning supplies that made finding what we needed tricky. My best suggestion for finding canning supplies right now is to focus on stores with websites that show whether an item is currently in stock. Those inventory lists don’t update in real time, so someone may grab that last box of canning lids before you get there. It gives you a place to start beyond just driving around town though. It may be tempting to just shop online, but unfortunately a lot of people are using any sites that allow third-party sellers to price gouge or send counterfeit products that may not work correctly. I’d strongly suggest sticking with brick and mortar places. But don’t limit your search to grocery or big box stores; your local hardware shop or garden center may also have what you need. For our tomato sauce, we chopped the tomatoes up a bit, roasted them, and then processed them through a food mill, which pureed them while separating out the skins and most of the seeds. Then we cooked the sauce, put it in the jars (following the instructions in the canning book we used), and processed them in boiling water for the amount of time given in the recipe. It was a good bit of work, and since we bought the tomatoes, the price of ingredients was only a slight savings over our usual jar sauce. But our sauce has no added sugar and no preservatives other than the citric acid we needed to add. It also has a really fresh flavor that worked well as a base for all the tinkering I tend to do with any pasta dish. So despite all the mess and effort, I’m already trying to figure out how many tomato plants we’ll need to do a couple of similarly sized batches next year.
Guy van Belle These days we seem to be living in a world with a growing dissatisfaction about the way we are handling our persistence, even to the danger of questioning our survival. On one hand we see an economics-guided reconversion, reducing the involvement of the state in responsibility for the well-being of the citizens. This is combined with a political, cultural and artistic traditionalism, an economic protectionism, and a new xenophobic nationalism/regionalism, unifying all old ideological contradictions into a pragmatic support of the imaginary strongest. Solutions for making a new society are handed over to an abstract class with very littl involvement in the real issues (politicians+industries+banks), who are expected to make top-down decisions so as to make changes that do not hurt anyone. Example: the climate conferences. Conversely, more and more alternative methods are surfacing, identifying possible solutions at the level of every day life, worked out by small communities with specific needs providing ad-hoc solutions, which they are willing to maintain and take care of, and develop this further, increasingly in a bottom-up fashion. This insinuates one size does NOT fit all, and we have to change our lives fundamentally, even if it hurts, until we acquire better habits. This would suggest also a completely different situation for culture and art, abandoning the bigger picture set up by museums, collectors and galleries, and redefining the materials, content and methods of what could be a new creativity, based on effectuating new living conditions on this planet. Are we spiders and bees, or architects? Guy van Belle (b. 1959 in Belgium, a.k.a. Gívan Belá), is a media artist and curator living in the Czech Republic. On occasion he would introduce himself as a media data author, on another as a wind time inventor and clockmaker, then at another as a slide and cigar box guitar musician in a skiffle/spasm band. After studying literature and linguistics, philosophy and sculpting, made the switch to computer music at the end of the 1980s. His most important virtual organisations (all collective) have been Stellingname (1984-1989), Young Farmers Claim Future (1990-2000), dBONANZAh! (1998-2002), mXHz.org (2002-?) and Society of Algorithm (2004-?). Then was co-founder and active member of OKNO (2004-15), an artist-run organization in Brussels. Between 2005 and 2009 he lived in Bratislava, where he began to work under the name Gívan Belá. After a short visit to the small village of Hranice u Malče, and seeing there an abandoned cowshed, he extended his name to Belá-Kravař. The international symposium Frontiers of Solitude, organized as part of the eponymous art project site will offer a comparison of the opinions, experiences, and points of view of artists, curators, and invited guests on the theme of transitions in the landscape in which we currrently live and of which we are a part. …

Udara. Agbalumo. These are a few names I grew up calling this fruit. I don’t know why I am suddenly craving the sweet/creamy seeds and tart interior of this fruit. Maybe it is because I am going through a tough time right now and all I want is to be home with my family but instead I am continents away from them. I can’t afford a ticket and they can’t afford it either. I remember that my father hated it when we would buy udara and consume it at home. He banned it from our home because he said it was a local and dirty fruit that gave people worms. This made the experience of eating this fruit whenever I could so exciting for me because it was such a taboo in my home. I enjoyed the fleshy and tart interior and sucking on the sweet creamy seeds until I was left with brown and shiny seeds. I loved udara! I remember it three ways: - If when you squeezed it, it was too hard and if when you ate it was too tart/had very little juice, it was not ripe enough. It was not at it’s best. - If when you squeezed it, it was quite soft and had some juices already leaking from the top and it was just the right amount of tartness/sweetness and had so much juice, it was ripe. It was at it’s best. - If when you squeezed it, it was too soft and had too much juice and tasted sour, it was over-ripe. It was past it’s best. I did not eat udara very often while growing up but when I did, it was such a treat for me. I miss that excitement. I miss my family. I miss my country. I miss my home. I am longing to be home.
