Greeting card company Papersaurus Creative has been growing in popularity. Run by Sara and Julia, Papersaurus specializes in hand made cards, prints, and journals that focus on everything from LGBT weddings and parenting, social change, and self love. They also have fun, cheeky cards for holidays and general greetings. I was able to interview Sara to learn more about Papersaurus, and their presence at the Alternative Fair. Enjoy! 1. As a new vendor, what attracted you to the Alternative Fair? We decided to apply for a couple of reasons. First, a good friend suggested we'd be a good fit. Then we checked into what the show was about, who the audience was and if we thought our products would fit well. We're usually pretty careful about what shows we do because a large portion of our shop is filled with LGBT-themed designs - since that was our initial inspiration. So we tend to skip a lot of the "traditional" shows, and try to find our niche in the local scene. I'm actually not sure how we've missed this show in the past. We have a lot of respect for Metro Justice, the show is right up our alley, and we're really looking forward to sharing our craft and our passion with people who have the same beliefs, values and wicked, slightly warped, sense of humor as us. 2. Where did you get the name Papersaurus? It's very cute. Thanks! We're pretty fond of it. The inspiration behind it was really two-fold. The first part is the simple part - I'm kind of a dinosaur nut. I have been since second grade. I even went through a phase after seeing "The Land Before Time" when I spelled my name Cera ... Well, just look at our logo. But the real inspiration for the name came from my day job as a print graphic designer. I love paper. I love the feel, the texture, the heft of it in your hand. I appreciate web design and I'm in awe of those who do it well, but I'm an old-school girl. And paper correspondence has sort of become archaic, hence, "Papersaurus". The "Creative" part of the name is where we try to make unique, interesting, beautiful cards that keep people engaged in hand-written, personal notes. 3. Have any new designs in the works? You can check out Papersaurus Creative's full line on their Etsy page here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PapersaurusCreative?ref=l2-shopheader-name RSVP to our Alternative Fair on our Facebook event page. We'd love to see you there!: https://www.facebook.com/events/1521840118059601/

After four very successful seasons the club was able to transfer up levels to the MLS. In the club first season it managed to finish 7th in the East and 14th overall – a solid showing for an expansion team. Named Camping World Stadium, the home of the Orlando City SC is nothing like camping – which is tranquil and relaxing. With a capacity of over 60,000 the stadium is one of the largest in North American professional soccer. Though the full stadium was rarely fully open in 2015, Orlando still ranked second in attendance averaging over 32,000 fans per game. Orlando will be moving into a soccer specific stadium in the next few seasons, but for the time being they have made Camping World Stadium a great temporary home. As an expansion team, Orlando was awarded the top pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. With the pick the club selected Cyle Larin of Brampton, Ontario, Canada. The Canadian phenom was impressive in his first season winning the MLS Rookie of the Year Award and breaking the record for goals by a rookie with 17. The young player is a great blocking build for the club and both bettors and soccer fans can expect to Orlando to begin scaling up the standings. Once the team begins to find long term success, the club will begin to development some intense rivalries. As of now the biggest rival of the team is the New York City FC – only because they both joined the league in 2015. There is great potential for future rivalries once Atlanta and Miami both officially have a club in the MLS.

Someone smack me over the head for complaining, please. Today we had our last homestudy meeting! YAY! Today, a stranger donated to our adoption fund. Today, another stranger bought two t-shirts to support bringing our kids home. And offered to send them books! But, really, who am I to call these awesome people strangers? Erika and Ilya, orphans in a far away country, have a FAMILY waiting for them here in the United States. A family which I’m learning is much more than me and Aaron, extends beyond our literal families, into a family of people who have a heart for orphans and want to see Erika and Ilya home. How incredible! Also, if you have not heard about the Shupp family, please check out their blog. They have had an unusual surprise come up in the last few days before leaving for their child’s country and now need to raise $3000 more. Lyndi is not only a sweetheart, but she also volunteers for RR and helps people like us bring our kids home, by checking our paperwork and answering our questions. Please pray for them and donate, if you are able.

A DJ friend of mine once told me: “I don’t listen to anything except Free Jazz anymore”, as he slipped me this French Free Jazz masterpiece to dub. I had been listening to Free and Spiritual Jazz for a while, and I’ll always remember the serious tone of my friend and how it had changed his life. I, like many others, including the musicians who make the music, remember when we have that epiphany. When the exact moment the voyage into this often uncharted territory of music occurred. But imagine you’re a Jazz musician, and you just make a Jazz record that is spiritual, with no influence of the famous forays musicians like Donald Byrd or Mary Lou Williams, what then? Enter Project ELO. Project ELO is a project from the South African drummer Tumi Mogorosi. ELO stands for Elohim, the angelic entities of the spiritual scriptures that are the philosophy of Tumi’s, a symbol for the accomplished human beings. Recorded live over two days with no overdubs, this recording takes a snapshot of South African Jazz at that place and time. If you don’t know what this type of Jazz sounds like, you’ll be surprised at what Mogorosi and friends can do. Non conventional in the sense of “songs”, Project ELO channels Coltrane’s Love Supreme on tracks like “Inner Emergence” and “Slaves Emancipation” while Gabisile Motuba, the wife of Tumi delivers the only vocal performance in the recording on “Thokozile Queen Mother” )a song dedicated to Tumi’s Mother, a great influence on his artistic styles). All in all, this is a beautiful piece of vinyl to own. It’s one of those records that decades later, you’ll still be able to appreciate the beautiful music being offered up here. Out on June 30th on Jazzman records, this one definitely is deep. Thokozile Queen Mother Get the record from Jazzman here.

...I may well start posting daily word counts and the 'had a good writing day'/'had a bad writing day' stuff that life writing a novel tends to become. (When writing a novel that's pretty much entirely what life turns into: "House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day." "Got call this morning to say I'd got Nobel Prize for literature. Wrote less than 300 words (285) probably unusable, so lousy day." And so forth. So basically, "the cat exploded" means it was a good writing day. :) That's the sum total of what I've got to say this morning. I'll post the book winners at about 2pm my time, which will be 24 hours from the original posting. If you missed it and want in, I'm sending a signed copy of THUNDERBIRD FALLS to the two people who are closest to my chosen number between 1 and 500. You only get one guess. :)

Buck was watching from the doorway of the jailhouse when Chris came barreling down clinic steps. "Be right back," he hollered to Vin, jogging out into the street. He caught up with Larabee in four strides and fell in step beside him. "What's going on, Chris?" When Chris didn't answer Buck grabbed his arm and forced him to a halt, not at all intimidated by the look Chris gave. "JD okay? Ezra?" he asked with concern. His worry grew as he when he saw the pain in his friend's eyes, an old pain – one he recognized way too easily. "Chris?" he asked, his fear growing. "They're fine," Chris managed. "JD's fine." Not satisfied, Buck steered Larabee toward the saloon and once inside pushed him at a deserted table in the corner shadows. He left Chris by himself while he went to find a bottle of whiskey and some glasses. Glancing at the mirror overhead, he caught Vin's entrance and picked up a third glass. "Josiah came in to watch the prisoners," Vin explained quietly. "He's upset about something." He looked from Buck to Chris, waiting for someone to speak. Wilmington didn't look up until he'd poured the whiskey and shoved a drink towards both men. He stopped up the bottle and set it aside. Chris stared at the glass before slowly reaching for it and taking a long sip, enjoying the burn as he debated within himself what to say. He'd never planned on sharing Ezra's past with the others but now… three already had overheard, might as well tell the others. Swiftly he dug into his pocket and pulled out the ring, setting it deliberately in the center of the table. Buck and Vin exchanged a questioning look before Vin spoke, "Ezra's?" Still watching the ring as if it could come alive at any moment, Chris nodded. Buck inhaled sharply. "He didn't lose the finger?" he whispered. "No," Chris reassured. "This is what he put up a fight over? He could have gotten killed," Buck murmured quietly. "Could have gotten them all killed." Taking another sip of whiskey Chris reached forward and touched the ring before pulling back quickly. "He made a promise to his wife that he'd never take it off," he explained, just managing to keep his voice steady. Buck choked on his drink, coughing in surprise, his eyes watering as he concentrated on catching his breath. Vin stared. "His wife?" He looked at the ring and then at Larabee again. "He never said." "No." Chris tossed back the rest of his drink just as Buck recovered. "That night," Buck rasped. "Here in the saloon when he stayed and talked to you." Chris' expression confirmed his answer. "God damn." Buck put his elbows on the table and covered his face with his hands. "She's dead then." His statement was muffled but clear. "How long?" Vin asked. "Oh God." Vin closed his eyes. "That's why he fought." Buck reached across the table and touched the gold ring. "Why he looked so tired and acted so…off." The three were silent, the noise around them growing as the later hour began to bring in more patrons. "Is he okay?" Vin asked finally. Chris met his gaze. "He will be." He stood and scooped up the ring, tucking it back into his pocket as he started toward the door. Buck's question stopped him but Chris couldn't bring himself to turn around. He cleared his throat, "childbirth," he managed before striding out the door. He never looked back, knowing he wouldn't be able to handle Buck's reaction to his answer. Vin found Josiah staring menacingly at the prisoners when he returned to the jail. "You all right?" he asked. "Not me you should concern yourself with," the preacher answered quietly. "Not like it's everyday you find out your friend's a widower," he reminded, seeing the obvious effect the news was having on the older man. "No it's not." Josiah looked up at him, his eyes projecting sadness and loss. "So much pain, I'll never understand it." Vin nodded knowingly as he picked up the pocket watch, roll of money and boots he'd recovered from one of the robbers, for Ezra. "Didn't think we were supposed to." Sanchez snorted and shook his head as Tanner left the small building again, marveling at the simplicity and acceptance in the Tracker's answer. Entering Ezra's room, Vin's eyes scanned it carefully, picking up the signs of his friend's recent restlessness- the tangled bed covers, the discarded quilt, still draped over the rocking chair. Feeling like an intruder, Vin set the muddy boots beside the door, made his way to the bureau and started to slip the pocket watch and money into the top drawer when a hint of silver caught his eye. Pulling the drawer out further, he saw that it was a tintype frame that had slid part way out of its small bag. He reached for it, his hand just brushing the soft cloth before he paused, his hand curling into a tight fist before he pulled back again. Quickly he shut the drawer. He picked up Ezra's boots again on the way out so that he could clean them for his friend and hurrying out of the room; he locked the door and Ezra's secrets safely behind him. It felt like a long walk from Ezra's room to the corner table downstairs where JD had joined Buck. A dark bruise the only visible sign that Dunne had been involved in the day's earlier events. "Hey, Kid," Tanner said taking a seat across from him. He let the boots plunk to the floor beside his chair. "Hey, what're you going to do with those?" JD asked. "Clean 'em. How're you feeling?" "Fine, just a headache." JD shifted in his chair and glanced at Buck, obviously concerned for him. Buck caught his look and managed a weak smile. "We're something else, ain't we?" he asked. Vin nodded. "Seems a fittin' day to share one's misery." He signaled for Inez to bring another bottle and glass to the table just as Josiah joined them. "Who's at the jail?" JD moved to stand. Sanchez waved him down. "Bill Barney volunteered to take a shift." Vin looked up and grinned, "Barney volunteered?" He shook his head when the older man shrugged. "He felt led by the Lord." They fell into a sullen silence as Inez brought two bottles and enough glasses for all of them. "Why didn't he ever say nothing?" JD asked suddenly. "Some things are just too hard, JD," Buck answered. "Ezra hates to reveal his hand before he's ready." "So what do we do now?" JD searched each man's face as he waited for an answer. Josiah leaned forward and folded his hands around his drink. "We wait until he's ready…and in the meantime, we make sure he knows that we're here." Nathan sat in the hard wooden chair he'd placed beside the bed and massaged his temples. Ezra stirred and murmured softly in his sleep. Jackson frowned at his patient's restlessness, wondering how much sleep Ezra had been getting. How many secrets did this man have? How many times was Standish going to shatter everything he believed to be true about him? He'd made so many judgments based on his own perceptions, and assumptions. Chris had been right; he hadn't been trying to help Ezra, he'd been too busy being angry. Glancing at the southerner again, Nathan took the time to really look at him. He saw the dark circles under the eyes and the strain and tension still visible in sleep. He could see the slight amount of weight loss now that Ezra was without a shirt. He wondered how many meals Ezra had missed lately. His gaze settled on Ezra's right hand and he found himself relieved to see the color in Ezra's hand had returned to normal. The fingers still looked swollen and he bit his lip guiltily as he gently checked their flexibility. It was better than before and improving but he wondered how he was going to apologize to Ezra for such treatment. Jackson was pulled from his wonderings when Chris entered the dim room again. "He still asleep?" he asked, no longer displaying any signs of his earlier anger with the healer. "Yeah." Nathan nodded. "He's been in and out...restless." He finished with a sigh of frustration. Chris listened and watched Ezra grimace in his sleep. "I'll stay with him awhile." "It's no problem," Nathan protested. Nathan knew from Larabee's tone that there was no use in arguing further. He looked one more time at Standish and then reluctantly rose to his feet, almost suppressing the groan when his back twinged. "You'll get me if you need me?" Starting toward the door, Nathan paused after just a few steps and turned back to face Chris. "Look Chris, I'm sorry about earlier. You were right; I wasn't really trying to help him." "Long as you are now, that's all that matters to me," Chris answered, his eyes intense as they met Nathan's. "I am," Nathan whispered, then quickly left the room. Chris settled in the chair that Nathan had deserted and pulled it as close to the bed as he could, until his knees rested against the edge of the mattress. He watched as Ezra raised his injured hand plaintively and moved his lips in a silent dialogue. Standish frowned, an expression of grave sadness coming over him as his hand settled back down and he stilled again. Keeping his eyes on Ezra's face Chris drew a long gold chain from his shirt pocket and simply held it for a moment. Finally he looked at the object in his hand. He ran his thumb over the locket remembering the way Sarah used to lift her hair and allow him to clasp the original chain for her…the chain that'd been lost in the fire. He closed his eyes as the memory of finding the locket itself in Ella's closet crashed down on him. He'd bought the new chain not long after they'd returned from Ella's, once he'd recovered enough to get around town on his own again. He didn't wear it all the time, only on the days when he needed to feel her closeness- on the days when he felt the loneliest- the pull of the chain beneath his shirt, a reminder that he carried something of her with him. He let the cool metal of the tiny links slide through his fingers as he searched for the clasp. With great care he slid the locket off of the chain and grasped it tightly in his fist a long moment before putting it safely into his pocket. From another pocket he withdrew Ezra's wedding ring. He looked up, surprised to find Ezra watching him. The look in the Southerner's eyes telling him immediately that Ezra'd seen the locket and knew what he was doing. "Chris, you don't have to…" Chris merely slid the ring onto the chain and looked into Ezra's watery eyes. "Lean forward," he whispered as he moved from the chair to the edge of the bed. He helped Ezra adjust and sit up off the pillows slightly. He could feel Ezra trembling as he reached around his neck and quickly clasped the chain. He eased Standish back against the pillows again and remained seated on the bed. He watched as the emotions washed across Ezra's face…loss, pain, relief, gratitude and understanding, all readily identifiable as he looked at the ring laying on his chest. Slowly Standish raised his injured hand and placed it lightly over the ring, pressing it against his heart. Chris watched as Ezra's eyes closed, his hand still on his chest. Though the gambler made no sound at all, in the fading light of the clinic's lamps Chris could see the tears as they ran down across his friend's temples and disappeared behind his ears. He swallowed the lump in his own throat and comforted Ezra the only way he knew how. Careful of the injuries, Chris gently laid his hand on top of Ezra's and hoped that Standish would find strength in the knowledge that he was there and he understood. Thank you for reading. Hope you enjoyed it.

AbstractPolar microbial derived antibiotics have potential as alternatives to traditional antibiotics in treating fish against pathogenic bacteria. In this paper, 23 strains of polar fungi were fermented to detect bacteriostatic products on three aquatic pathogenic bacteria, subsequently the active fungus was identified. It was indicated that secondary metabolites of 23 strains weredistinct; of these, the extract of strain B-7 (belonging to Bjerkandera according to molecular identification) demonstrated a strong antibacterial activity to Streptococcus agalactiae, Vibrio anguillarum and Aeromonas hydrophila ATCC7966 by Kirby-Bauerpaper strip method. During one fermentation cycle, the pH curve of the fermentation liquor became lowest (4.0) on the 4th day and rose back to 7.6 finally after 5 days, The residual sugar curve was decreased before stablising on the 6th day. It is presumed that a large amount of alkaline secondary metabolites might have been produced during fermentation. This study focuses on antagonism between aquatic pathogenic bacteria and fermentation metabolites from Antarctic fungi for the first time, which may provide data on research of antibiotics against aquatic pathogenic bacteria.

Maine is the only one-syllable state in America. Maine is the only continental U.S. state to share a border with only one other state (New Hampshire). Maine's Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R) served the Senate (to date) longer than any woman has (24 years); was the first woman ever elected to both the U.S. House and Senate: was the first woman to hold a Senate Leadership position; and won the 1960 race for Senate in the nation's first ever race pitting two women against each other for a Senate seat. Maine was part of Massachusetts until statehood in 1820. Maine has America's first chartered city (York - 1641). Maine's Constitution was written in part by Thomas Jefferson. Maine is the northern end of the famed Appalachian Trail. Maine accounts for approximately 90% of the U.S. lobster harvest. Maine has the largest wild blueberry crop in the nation, raising 99 percent of all wild blueberries in the United States and is the single largest producer of any blueberries (wild or cultivated) in America. Maine is about as big as all of the other five New England states combined. Maine is the most sparsely populated state east of the Mississippi. Maine has the largest fleet of windjammers in North America. Maine has over 60 lighthouses. Maine produces 90% of the country's toothpick supply. Maine has the only natural fjord on the East Coast of the United States (Somes Sound). Acadia National Park is the only national park in New England and the first on the East Coast. I like to imagine that the two fellas in this video are the two men on the Maine state flag come to life. The part of this video where our heroes are sitting by a harbor quizzing each other on facts about Maine is none other than beautiful Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, 10 minutes from York.

Started working on this in early Cata, hence why most of the players I fight are in average PVE gear, I was wearing a few pieces of PVE gear myself. I regret not finishing it, but I lost motivation and commitment because of how horrible Cataclysm PVP turned out. Bye, all (: Thanks D Creation for their awesome music! Credit to them for what they produced.

Today’s post was supposed to be about Stephen Gundle’s book Glamour: A History, but I managed to leave the book in a different location to myself. So that should appear on Friday. In the meantime, you should hear this song by Louis Prima and his Orchestra with Keely Smith, called ‘The Bigger the Figure’. Credit to Elli again for bringing it to my attention! You’ll be singing it all day. Guaranteed 🙂

As private crossing networks and related nonquoting sources of liquidity, known as "dark books," vie for market share among block traders, they are creating a highly fragmented market for block trading, according to a new report from TABB Group. Many viable but largely disconnected pools of liquidity are beginning to form in which institutions can disperse and hide order flow, TABB Group notes. The report, "Locating the Invisible: Aggregating Dark Book Liquidity," explores the market structure of dark books and asserts that the fragmentation and opacity of these venues has made finding and executing block trades increasingly complex and difficult. However, the report says, the buy side is finding solutions for tapping into this hidden liquidity through low-liquidity algorithms and smart order types that can bring together dark pools. Next-generation algorithms more intelligently execute larger blocks of stock at varying sizes, time intervals and locations to maintain the anonymity and preserve the confidentiality of an institution's position, TABB Group points out. But these tools are not popular with all buy-side traders. There are meaningful objections among the small pool of senior and head traders surveyed by TABB Group for the report. The most commonly cited concern is the potential loss of underlying functionality (64 percent), followed closely by the fear of information leakage (55 percent). <<<

It’s so easy to sit in judgment of parents and children and zookeepers and strangers. People who you’ve never met. It’s so easy. It’s infinitely harder to person up. To pull loose your heart strings. To release the strict hold you keep on your borders and really look at another person. Because really seeing means letting yourself be seen. Means being vulnerable. Means realizing that the things that we judge other people for are things that we do all the time. Who hasn’t been guilty of letting our guard down for a moment? The only difference between all of us and certain mothers and zookeepers is that we weren’t the ones taking our eyes off of our child at that crucial second. We weren’t. But we could have been. And that fact is the thing that keeps us from true empathy with other human beings. Because acknowledging that the only thing separating us and them is a cruel blend of circumstance and blind luck is too terrifying to handle. So we blame. And we stand up and call for the heads of people who have made the same small mistakes that we make every day at a critical moment that ended in tragedy. Blame is easier. Judgment is easier. Hatred is easier. Love is hard. Empathy is hard. Compassion is hard. Within those three things dwells the sharp knowledge that we, in all of our convictions and certainty, are as fragile and as vulnerable to harm as the people we are so quick to villainize. Empathy is like a muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. The easier it becomes to do the hard work of looking at another person and recognizing yourself. Try it. You’ll see.

History of Turkistan in the medieval manuscripts and written sources In the Arab-Persian sources Turkistan appears in the IX - X centuries. These sourcesname Turkistan as Shavgar. The Arab traveller al-Istarkhi writes: "from Keder to Shavgar is one-day journey, from Shavgar to Savran is one-day journey". Al-Istarkhi also informs that the people of Shavgar were converted to Islam by the Samanid ruler Akhmed ibn Asad in 245/859, during this event several thousand of the town residents were beaten unmercifully. At-Tabary in his "History" writes that people of Shavgar already in 135/755 were Muslims, and they were allies of the Alids in their fight against the ruler of Bukhara Zinad ibn Salikh and the ruler of Khurasan Abu Muslim. During this war Abu Muslim sent the army to struggle against Shavgar headed by of ibn an-Nadim. According to the messages provided by al-Makdisi, "Shavgar is a large city, with mounds around it, and there is a mosque at the edge of the market." Ibn Yakut writes, "Shavgar is a Turkic town". According to "Nasab-name", Akhmed Ata Yassawi from Sairam arrives to the land of Yasy. At the beginning of the XIII century in Yasy the Kwarazm Shah Mukhammed ibn Tekesh minted silver coinage under his authority. The name of Shavgar has not been appearing in the sources dated after the X century. And the name Karachuk Asan appeared for the last time in the diary of the Armenian tsar Getum, on his way to the residence of the Mongolian Khan in Karakorum. At the end of the XIV century in "Zafar-name" by Sharaf ad-Din Yezdi the name of Yasy is mentioned, indicating that "Yasy is a small settlement, there is the tomb of the Sheikh Akhmed Ata Yassawi there". From that time in the medieval sources Turkistan figures as Yasy. Molla Shadi in his poem "Fatkh-name", devoted to the Shaibanid Khan Mukhammed Shaibani, writes about the conquest of Yasy and Otrar by Mukhammed Shaibani Khan and about Mukhammad Marid Gurkhan, the Khakim (ruler) of the town. The data about Turkistan are founded in the works of Kamal ad-Din Ali Binai "Shaibani-name", Mukhammad Khaidar Dulati "Tarikh-i Rashidi", Makhmud ibn Vali "Bakhr al-Asrar", Masud Kukhistani "Tarikh-i Abul-Khairkhani", Fazlallakh ibn Ruzbikhan Isfakhani "Mikhman-name-yi Bukhara" and in other sources. These sources describe the events that took place from the XIV to the XVII centuries in Desht-i Kypchak, Moghulistan. And the above sources keep mention about the town and okrug of Turkistan. Judging from the data provided by the written sources, Turkistan was the hereditary udel (independent domain) of ancestors of the first Kazakh rulers. Before the accession to power of Abulkhair in Desht-i Kypchak, the Djanibek's father Barak possessed by Sygnak and other towns near Syr Darya. It is known about his message to Ulugbek demanding to return a number of Turkistan towns that Timur earlier had conquered from Djuchids. This demand was grounded by the reference to the activities of his ancestors related to the improvement (equipping with services and utilities) of these towns, including the reconstruction of Sygnak by Urus-khan. Utemish-khadji in "Chiggis-name" informed that Urus-khan was the great sovereign, and "governed the vilayets of all Turkistan". As the written sources inform, from the XIV to the XV centuries Kypchaks, Kangles, Argyns, Dulats, Jalairs, and also representatives of the other Turkic tribes, taking part in ethnogenesis of Kazakhs and Uzbeks, lived in Turkistan. The sources of that time clearly determine the borders of Turkistan. In particular, Ruzbekhan Isfakhani states, that the stronghold Arkuk is considered to be the beginning of Turkistan, this stronghold is situated one farsakh (measure of distance) off Syr Darya. A road to the eastern strongholds of Turkistan passes through Arkuk. The town of Sygnak was a frontier point of Turkistan. Here, behind Sygnak Turkistan ends. Being close to Mukhammed Sheibani, Ruzbekhan took part in his campaign of 1509. Here is his description of Turkistan: "The land of Turkistan is one of well-known populated areas and regions. Judging from its advantages and peculiarities, it is really a rarity on the earth. The wise and learned people throughout the world compare the land of Turkistan with a head because the picture of the world structure as a human being and determining the correspondence of each part of the world to the parts of a human body requires of this blessed area to be the head among other lands to that the functions of other parts of a human body are ascribed. Turkistan consists of thirty strongholds situated along the bank of the Seikhun river. Kamal ad-Dina Ali Binai in "Shaibani-name" mentioned that they (Shaibani and his followers) went to "vilayat Turkistan" that included such well-known towns as Sygnak, Sauran, Otrar, Yasi, Sairam, Arkuk, Uzgend, Ak-Kurgan, Suzak and other towns located in the Syr darya river basin. In XV-XVI centuries the Turkistan lands were the arena of the hardened struggle of Shaibanids and the Kazakh Khans for the power over the nomadic tribes. Namely this region has played a major role in the formation of the Kazakh state system.

Here is one informal answer: It really depends on the libs goals - do they want to focus on local peeps? Do they want to friend everyone? Etc. That was from David Lee King (Topeka Kansas PL). He has a blog, and has posted some thoughts which you may find useful: And in another blog I found this quote: "With that said, here is my take at a corporate Twitter policy that has the extra added benefit of being itself twitterable: Our Twitter policy: Be professional, kind, discreet, authentic. Represent us well. Remember that you can’t control it once you hit "update."http://www.gruntledemployees.com/gruntled_employees/2009/03/a-tweetable-twitter-policy.html I found this from a link somewhere, Missouri River Regional Library has a “MySpace Guidelines” but not one for Twitter. In them they say: - Friends Friends are subject to approval by the administrator - The Library reserves the right to approve or deny friends Here is a link: http://www.mrrl.org/admin/sections.php?pid=Web%20Guidelines&sec=45 Finally, my friend Michael Porter (MP, Libraryman) who works at OCLC had this insightful thought: I do though think that it would be wiser for a library to have a larger institutional communication policy rather than a policy specific to an individual tool like Twitter, facebook, freindfeed, etc. Those tools will wax and wane and have shifting levels of cultural relevancy, but a larger, carefully thought out staff communication policy would address the important issues that can come up on any of these tools. Granted it could be wise to have paragraphs, or subsections dealing with peculiarities of an individual tool, but really, I don't think making one for Twitter alone is the way to go. So, that is a really long answer. I think that what MP suggests (an institutional communication policy like the one suggested on the Gruntled Employees blog) with "Procedures" or "Guidelines" which can be written, would be a good way to go. In my note back to MP, I said: As a Library Director, I always made the distinction that *policy* was adopted by the Board and should be fairly immutable. *Procedures* are about how staff implement the board approved policies… I found some more info thanks to the Librarian In Black. She pointed to a blog called "Lowrider Librarian" which has some good Twitter tips including: The organization should have a clear policy that addresses: Tweet with the organizational mission in mind at all times - Appropriate language - Appropriateness of links provided - Non-political links and tweets Individual vs. organizational Twitter® usage The tweeters should understand they are representing the organization and that their personal viewpoints should never override information provided and should never dictate information shared or re-tweeted. Assessment: How will the ROI be assessed? What will be considered successful? What are your benchmarks and how will you reach them? Tweet organizational related material. Retweet information you know your network will appreciate. Do not argue, flame or use derogatory language when tweeting. Stay positive and friendly. Share, share, share. Be yourself and be genuine, but always remember you are a representative of the organization. Again, look for those who your organization can collaborate with and build off one another’s work. Cross—promotional opportunities abound in the world of Twitter® .

Recently we sat down with the Queen of Versailles herself, Jackie Siegel, to find out about her home-in-progress Versailles (which will be the biggest home in America) and what’s on the horizon. A more recent project making big news today debuts tonight. Jackie and her husband, Westgate Resort owner David Siegel, will both appear on Celebrity Wife Swap tonight at 10pm on WFTV Channel 9. Here’s sneak preview clip of Jackie and Jeremy at his home in Oklahoma: Not familiar with the show? Here’s a breakdown from ABC Networks; “Celebrity Wife Swap” features two women of celebrity families trading households, lifestyles and children (but not bedrooms) for one week. During that time, the women – and swapped families – learn what it is like to live in someone else’s shoes, but everything changes during the second half of the week when the women make their own rules and get the chance to run the household their way. At the end of the week, the couples reunite for a raw, honest and highly-charged exchange of views in which they make frank assessments of one another and discuss the experience. We will be live tweeting the broadcast with Jackie and other celebrities tonight at a private viewing party! Make sure to follow @JackieSiegelUSA on Twitter (hashtags #CelebrityWifeSwap, #QueenOfVersailles) and @CentralFLTop5 on Twitter and Instagram for some behind the scenes fun! Watch our full interview with her before tonight’s broadcast here: Firstly, Jackie wants everyone to know that Versailles is NOT dead. In fact, construction has resumed and is slated to finish in 2017. “Versailles is fully back on and I’m very excited about it! I would like to do something in the form of a tv show or something, letting the world know that Versailles is going to be finished. When you watch the movie, Queen of Versailles, it kind of left you hanging like maybe it was a dead project or something, but it’s not. We still own it and the King and the Queen are finishing it!” Among her grand tasklist of projects here is Florida’s film and television industry. “I’ve also been supporting the Florida Film Incentive. I’ve taken a couple of trips up to Tallahassee and went to the Rally in Tally,” she says. “I really think Florida is a great place for the film industry (to be). It not only creates jobs but we have beautiful weather all year round.” In case you weren’t aware, Film Florida organizes Rally in Tally, an annual event where members of Florida’s film, tv and digital media industries travel to our Capital to educate legislators on the importance of having a financial infrastructure in place to attract jobs from big projects like USA Network’s Burn Notice, Disney’s Tomorrowland and more. Just a few of Jackie’s other projects include: - She’s participating in the Fireball Run Space Race against 4 astronauts! (It raises awareness of lost and missing children and will be shown live on the web in September 2015) - Her mom helps her run Ocoee Thrift-Mart - Westgate Resorts Foundation events - Orlando Predators charitable activities - Supporting United States Veterans - Cocoa Beach Pier updates (Westgate Resorts now owns it) - Mrs. Florida America Pageant (she produced it!) - Opening Graceland Presents ELVIS: The Exhibition in Las Vegas - Opening Suzanne Sizzles, a cabaret style show featuring Suzanne Somers, also in Las Vegas - A possible documentary follow up to her documentary, Queen of Versailles!

We are in constant relationship with many organizations. Our world is submitted to regular changes as organizations evolve, come and go. Understanding your memberships and attachments to organizations will help you act on your world. You'll learn how to evaluate the influence of organizations around you and how to transform your relationships to reach a stronger coherence. Do you feel sometime that the world around you is disorganized? Can you make sense of all the information at your reach and have an impact on this situation? Have you ever thought that this conundrum may be due to all the organizations that emerge, strive or wane, and disappear every day? Organizations are ubiquitous, from clubs and associations to firms and public agencies. Organizations confer meaning to all of us, and our attachment and membership to organizations have a profound effect on all areas of our lives. But in our increasingly turbulent world, these organizations run the risk of disappearing or losing their legitimacy, steering a sense of pointlessness and absurdity. This course develops an integrative approach to understanding organizations and their behaviors, termed ‘orgology’. It explains that organizations can act strategically to protect and renew the sense of membership and attachment of individuals. So doing, organizations that survive and thrive impose their logics of action onto society, thereby influencing what is legitimate or not. In turn, individuals, you, all of us, must reinterpret our multiple associations with organizations and contribute to reinforce or inhibit social evolutions. This new way of understanding organizations’ relationships with society results in reconsidering management and the role of individuals in building their future. There is no prerequisite to this course, you are all welcome ! Students and people interested in the fields of management, sociology, strategy, economics leadership etc… will benefit a lot from this course. For the session of this course starting on January 11th, Professor Rodolphe Durand will actively be participating and interacting with learners. He will be offering "office hours" sessions through google hangouts and answering learner questions from the forums. We hope this direct interaction will add to your learner experience! Please enroll today!

There are many mysteries yet unsolved when it comes to the human brain’s amazing capacity to think, feel, reason, remember and adapt. We’ll leave the complexities to the scientists and offer some common-sense advice about how to boost your brain’s memory power at any age. Just remember, the things we do to keep ourselves physically and emotionally healthy keep the brain going strong, too. This is particularly helpful as we age. Allerton House Assisted Living Communities in Duxbury, Hingham, Marshfield, Quincy and Weymouth, MA are continually seeking ways to help residents maintain memory function while enjoying life. Feed your body to feed your brain. Include colorful fruits and vegetables in your snacks and meals; try some green tea, and enjoy fresh fish and lean meats. Welch Healthcare & Retirement Group’s Allerton House Assisted Living in southeastern Massachusetts offer healthful foods and heart-healthy menus, and encourages residents to create “Victory Gardens” when the weather is warm enough in late spring. - Stay active to nourish the brain by increasing blood flow and bringing it vital nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Many Allerton House Communities have pastoral walking paths or offer tai chi classes, Wii™ fitness, strength training, basketball, or low-impact aerobics. One Welch Group community offers onsite water aerobics. - Try new things to create new brain power. The brain has a wonderful ability to grow and change. Give it a boost with new activities that are challenging and fun. This might include playing Bridge or joining an Allerton House book club, travel club or introductory class for the Apple iPad®. - Get enough sleep. Researchers believe the brain consolidates memories while we are sleeping. - Enjoy time with others in the Welch Group’s Assisted Living Communities. - Take steps to eliminate stress and anxiety, which can lead to the loss of brain cells and impede memory skills. Making your home at Allerton House can take away common stressors such as the worries that come with home maintenance or concern about one’s safety. Most importantly, take care of yourself and have fun. Not only will you be creating new memories, but you’ll also be giving your brain’s memory-power a terrific boost. If you or a loved one has concerns about a memory care issue, consult your personal physician or medical care provider. You can also visit the Welch Group online to inquire about services and housing options at http://www.welchhrg.com

I only have a few strict rules about work to which I hold myself, but one of them is this: If I am ever offered the opportunity to travel to Las Vegas for work, I take it. I absolutely love Vegas. On the face of it, this may seem odd. I never gamble. I don’t even like lotteries. I don’t like giant hotels, or strip/sprawl development, or buffets, or Vegas-style shows, or has-been music/comedy stars*. *Ever wonder what happened to “Carrot Top”? He’s in Vegas, on about 50+ billboards all over town. But I love the Mojave desert. And Vegas is smack-dab in the middle of, and has wonderfully easy access to, the Mojave. And it’s just a day’s drive away from Salt Lake, and in between the two are St. George and Little Creek and Gooseberry and the Virgin, Pine Valley and Mormon ranges and endless Joshua tree forests and about a zillion other cool places and things I’ve blogged about. So anytime I get invited to Vegas, I load up the car with bike/hike/camping gear and make a boondoggle out of it. I have 2 tangents here. One is light-hearted and cheerful, the other pissed-off and angry. I can’t decide between the 2, so I’m doing both. Happy Tangent: There’s a weird-but-cool thing that makes Vegas a great outdoorhead destination: Very Few Outdoorheads. Seriously, you get 30 minutes outside of Vegas, and there’s like hardly anyone hiking/biking. It’ll be 75 degrees, flowers blooming, great trails, no one around, and I think that the reason for this is that Vegas by and large, does not attract outdoor-oriented residents*. *I know. Shocking. How do I come up with these insights? Think of Boulder, Colorado. The place is mobbed with outdoorheads. Any official/legal trail within 10 miles of Boulder is packed on a weekend. Outdoorheads are attracted to the wonderful setting, climate, lifestyle and recreational opportunities offered by the Boulder area, and the Colorado Front Range in general, creating a spillover effect such that everyplace from the JeffCo open space parks to Fruita and Moab is packed with Front Range outdoorheads. But Vegas isn’t an outdoor Mecca. You never hear of people moving to Vegas for access to nature and the outdoor lifestyle. As a result, the backcountry around Vegas is often wonderfully and pleasantly “under-populated.” While not exactly empty, it seems to have visitation loads of a metro area maybe 1/10th the size. You know what? If I had to leave Salt Lake, Vegas would be near the top of my list. Angry Tangent: I’m not anti-gambling- I just have no interest in it. I get that millions of people enjoy it, even though I don’t understand why, thereby placing it in the same category for me as golf and reality TV shows. I am however, very much anti-lottery. Not because of the gambling aspect, but in that it represents a fundamental breakdown of democracy. I’m serious. Societies- all societies- work by pooling resources for common benefit. In any society people have arguments about what resources should be pooled and what common benefit should be distributed to whom. Today in our society this manifests itself in everything from defense spending to healthcare reform, but no one except the most extreme whackos disagrees that there should be some common benefit- even it’s just police, defense or prisons- funded by some pooling of resources- be it property, income (progressive or flat), sales, VAT or head taxes, or just user fees. In a democratic society, the citizens agree that these tough decisions are determined by the voters, or, more often, their elected representatives. And so we have all sorts of political/election struggles to determine who gets what services, who will pay for those services and how. But a lottery represents the failure of a democracy to determine that mix of revenues and services. A lottery says, “Hey, raising money (i.e. taxes) is too hard. Let’s sell raffle tickets, and hope some people buy them.” And buy them they do. Overwhelmingly, the people who buy the bulk of them are the poor, the uneducated, the desperate, the addicted, or sometimes, just the plain dumb. Lotteries are a perversion of the American Dream- a parasitic feeding upon the weakest, least capable segments of society by a self-interested, self-entitled, lazy electorate. Nested Tangent: Particularly insidious is when lotteries are promoted specifically for things like schools, or parks. “Oh!” we say, “We need lotteries to help pay for schools!” Give me a break. Think schools are important? Then pay some damn taxes for them. No one holds lotteries to build aircraft carriers. Oo- good tangents! I feel much better. Hey, speaking of parasitism, that’s one of the themes of today’s post. The Vegas boondoggle sounded like a little bit better idea before our Mexican vacation; Sunday night when we returned home, the idea of jumping in the car Monday AM sounded a little less appealing. But I’d packed before leaving for Mexico*, and once I was rolling down I-15, it seemed like a good idea again. *Although I am generally a disorganized slob in most aspects of my life, when it comes to road trip preparation I am the model of planning, efficiency and foresight. Until I reached Parowan, and the weather changed. Here’s what the view out the windshield looked like just South of Cedar City. Down, down I drove through the rain, past Toquerville, Leeds and Washington. But a mile or two before St. George, I passed out of the rain, and the roads and trails were dry as a bone. I made pit-stop to ride my old favorite, Barrel Roll, and then another pit stop to make a quick run up & down Bearclaw Poppy trail (which I included a clip of in this post.) A couple of hours later I checked into the weirdness of a Las Vegas mega-hotel, where I worked away till the wee hours on my presentation for the next day. I wrapped up my work duties the next day by early afternoon, excused myself and headed out toward Blue Diamond. Blue Diamond is a weird-but-charming little hamlet, with a single general store, only about 25 miles from Las Vegas. It sits in a small vale alongside a creek, surrounded by desert hills sprinkled with Joshua Trees, Creosote and Yucca, and consists mainly of modest homes shaded by tall Cottonwoods. It’s historically been home to workers at the nearby gypsum mine, although in recent years a few upscale homes have been built by newcomers around the periphery. Still, the town feels like a modest, unassuming little oasis in the desert, worlds away from the sprawl and lights of the nearby Strip. Side Note: Unfortunately, the sprawl is working its way closer. When I first started visiting the area in the late 90’s, development ended about a mile or two West of I-15 along US160. Today the development continues for about 10 miles West. The Red Rock conservation area provides a bit of a buffer, but you definitely get the feeling that the wave of sprawl is rolling towards Blue Diamond. Blue Diamond is the Northern hub of a network of single-track linking into Cottonwood Valley to the South. I parked just outside of town and started working my way counterclockwise around the hills to the South of Blue Diamond. I didn’t have a map, but sort of hunted and pecked my way over to the South side of the hills, where I came across a local rider- let’s call him Fast Fred*. Fast Fred took me for a guided tour of one of his favorite regular loops, of which you can see a quick segment here, rolling through and around Joshua Trees and other Yuccas on fast singletrack. *Because he smoked my ass on the descent. You know how it is. You run into a local rider and he offers to guide you for a bit, and you wonder if you’ll be able to hang with him. On the climb it was no problem; I kept right up and cleaned everything. “Oh hey,” I thought, “no problem.” Then we started descending and he left me behind like a one-eyed nun driving a Volkswagen bus up Parley’s. After our lap together, Fast Fred gave me some route recommendations for the ride back to town, sending me up and over the hills on a rocky, technical, slow-but-fun, winding ascent. Up top the lightly-traveled trail rolled along the ridges. Here’s a quick clip: Apologies for in the in & out of shadow/contrast thing, but I included this clip because I wanted to show something: Yucca. At first glance, there are some taller, branching yuccas that look like Joshua Trees. But when you look more closely, you can see that they’re not. The leaves are too long, and there’s never more than one branch, and they don’t get nearly as tall. They’re a different species of tree-ish Yucca, Spanish Dagger, or Yucca schidegera. There are some 40 species of Yucca, all native to the New World, mostly to Mexico and the Southwestern US. There’s some debate as to whether some/all yuccas are technically succulent, but like Cacti, they use CAM photosynthesis to thrive in hot, arid climates. But they evolved their CAM-ability completely independently, and the 2 aren’t closely-related. Cacti are dicots, and so more closely related to everything from oaks to roses. Yuccas are monocots, and so more closely-related to things like grasses and palms. Spanish Dagger fascinates me because it seems an in-between. It’s evolved its way up off the ground, and started to branch. But it’s not that tall, and it never seems to branch more than once. It sort of seems to be following the same evolutionary path, though not yet as far along, as the Joshua Tree. But that’s not the Cool Thing I want to blog about. In fact I have 3 Cool Things I want to blog about, and they all have to do with the relationships between Yuccas and Yucca Moths. All About Yucca Moths Two years ago, back during Monocot Week (Man was that a great week or what?), I blogged about the most impressive yucca, the Joshua Tree, Yucca brevifolia. In that post I mentioned the cool mutualistic relationship between the Joshua tree, and its one pollinator, the Yucca Moth, Tegeticula synthetica. It’s a cool story, in that the Yucca Moth doesn’t just pollinate the flower by accident, but actually makes an apparently deliberate detour to deposit a laboriously-accumulated ball of pollen on the stigma. The tree in turn provides shelter and food to the moth larvae, who consume a modest portion of the plant’s fruit. But Joshua trees aren’t the only yuccas pollinated by Yucca Moths; all yuccas are. And as I’ve learned more about Yuccas and Yucca Moths, it turns out that their story is even more fascinating and multidimensional than I originally thought. To explain the story, and how totally cool it is, I need to share some info about Yucca Moths. It’s a bit geeky, but stick with it because it winds up somewhere really cool. Until the late 1990’s, there were believed to be just 3 species of Yucca Moth, all within the genus Tegeticula*. The first was/is T. synthetica, which pollinates Joshua Trees (and nothing else.) The second was/is T. maculata, which pollinates Chaparral Yucca (Y. shipplei). And the third was T. yuccasella, which pollinated all kinds of different yucca species. T. yuccasella seemed to have different forms, or races, that specialized in different species of yucca. *Just to complicate things, there’s another genus of Yucca Moths, Parategeticula, but I’m leaving those alone for this post. In the late 1990’s, researchers determined that what had previously been considered T. yuccasella was in fact 13 different species, all descended from a common ancestor species that lived 2 or 3 million years ago. And a number of these species pollinate just a single yucca species. Spanish Dagger for instance, is pollinated by a single species, T. mojavella, which in turn lays its eggs in the flowers of Spanish Dagger, and no other yucca. This in turn leads to a number of interesting things, including Three Really Cool Things. Here’s a quick example of an Interesting Thing, before we get to the First Really Cool Thing: In the clip above, you also see a number of other yuccas that are stuck firmly on the ground, with no “trunk” to speak of. Many of these are Banana Yucca, Yucca baccata, which is pollinated by its own Yucca Moth, T. baccatella (pic right, not mine). Now sometimes, Spanish Dagger and Banana Yucca (also called Spanish Bayonet- cool name, eh?) hybridize. How is that possible? T. mojavella (the Spanish Dagger pollinator) has never ever been found in a Banana Yucca flower. But every once in a blue moon, a T. baccatella will be found in a Spanish Dagger Flower, enabling the transfer of pollen between the 2 species. Tangent: This may sound trivial, but it’s actually pretty cool. For whatever reason, some tiny proportion of Banana Yucca Moths have started visiting Spanish Dagger flowers. Now let’s say that the BY Moths that did so experienced slightly greater reproduction as a result. There could be more and more of these “promiscuous” moths, which could promote widespread hybridization between the two yuccas, and eventually drive both species- which are largely sympatric*- to genotypic extinction. I’m not saying that’s what’s happening here, but the fact that such crossover does occasionally occur give you a glimpse of a range of possibilities, and makes you wonder how often events like this change the course of species evolution. First Cool Thing OK, let’s get to the cool stuff. The First Really Cool Thing is this: Of the 13 “new” species, 2 are cheaters. That is, they lay their eggs in/on yucca fruit, but they don’t pollinate the flowers. They’re closely-related to, and descended from, Yucca Moths that do pollinate the flowers, but at some point in the last couple million years, their ancestors just said, “ah, screw it…”* and started blowing off the little pollination side trip. *I’m not suggesting they consciously decided to quit pollinating. Rather at some point a genetic change occurred which caused a Yucca Moth not to pollinate a flower, and the moth reproduced successfully and passed that new tendency to its descendants. When you think about the dynamics at work here, it makes your head spin. From the cheater-species standpoint, the shift to cheating is a winner; less work, but still reap all the benefits. And in fact DNA analysis appears to show that cheating in the 2 cheater species evolved independently, meaning that cheating has evolved multiple times. But there’s a catch. The cheaters are absolutely reliant upon the non-cheaters to propagate the species; without non-cheaters, the host yuccas would die out*. So what balance exists- and how is it maintained- between cheaters and non-cheaters? Why would any one species not cheat? Isn’t it mind-boggling? *Although this would take quite some time- maybe centuries or longer- as yuccas also reproduce asexually by root-cloning. Side Note: Cheating also happens in Fig Wasps, BTW. Second Cool Thing And this leads us to the Second Really Cool Thing. Yuccas sometimes host other insects beside moths and their larvae, including aphids, and ants. The Soaptree Yucca, Y. eleta, often hosts populations of Wood Ants, one of a number of species belonging to the genus Formica. Soaptree Yuccas are often parasitized by the Cheater Yucca Moth T. corruptrix (pic right, not mine). But Soaptree Yuccas which house/host Wood Ants suffer far lower rates of T. corruptrix parasitism than those without Wood Ants. And yet the presence of Wood Ants doesn’t negatively impact the presence of Soaptree Yucca’s “legitimate”, non-cheating species of Yucca Moth, T. elatella! How can this be? Extra Detail: “How it can be” isn’t 100% clear, but a likely reason is that non-cheater moths lay eggs in flowers, while cheaters often just lay directly in (already fertilized) fruit. The Wood Ants tend to hang out more in fruit than they do in the flowers. So the Wood Ant and the Soaptree Yucca are exhibiting another, indirect, layer of mutualism beyond the Moth-Yucca mutualism. The complexity of relationships going in these spiky shrubs is really amazing. Third Cool Thing But, as I so often do in these endless run-on posts, I have saved the best for last, which brings us to the Third and Final Really Cool Thing: Sometimes, the yuccas cheat. Back to our old friend, Banana Yucca. The Yucca Moth benefits from the relationship by laying eggs in the flowers, which develop into larvae that feed on the ovules. The ovules are the larva’s only food source. But some number of Banana Yuccas sprout flowers with large numbers of non-viable ovules, in which the larvae are unable to locate the (relatively few) viable ovules, and starve. In fact, 70% of individual Banana Yucca plants appear to cheat in this way; they receive the pollination benefits of the relationship, but they don’t feed the larvae. That means that only 30% of the plants are producing the pollinators needed by the other 70%! The same boggling dynamics are at work here as are at play with the cheater moths, but reversed; the Cheater Plants can’t survive without Non-Cheater Plants to propagate the pollinators, but for any given plant, the better deal is to cheat. So, again, what balance exists- and how is it maintained- between cheaters and non-cheaters? And again- isn’t it mind-boggling? I didn’t know this until later, after I’d gotten curious and researched a bit more about yuccas and moths. On my long run back down into Blue Diamond, I rather thought more about how darn sharp yuccas are, as I repeatedly scratched legs and arms on those encroaching upon the narrow trails. There’s a long-standing maybe-urban myth about a mtn biker some years back around Moab who fell on a yucca, sliced open his jugular and bled to death. The tale in mind, I was a bit more cautious than usual on the gravelly descent. Back at the car I loaded up, washed up, and drove off in the waning light, North into the desert. Note about Sources: Big thanks to my friend and fellow nature-blogger KB for help in corralling several of the sources for this post. The information about cheater moths and their relationships to non-cheater species came largely from this paper. The info about indirect mutualism between Wood Ants and Soaptree Yucca came from this paper. And my source for the cheating Banana Yucca was this paper.

Muscle can turn into fat, lifting weights makes you look like Arnold and a thousand crunches a day will give you a six-pack. Yes, fitness myths are many, and they are persistent. And they haven’t changed much over the years, according to Shirley Archer, a fitness and wellness educator with the American Council on Exercise. “People are always engaging in wishful thinking that they can transform their body with minimal effort,” said Archer, who has written many books on health and fitness. “And our sound-bite culture isn’t helping. We stand in the grocery store line, and some headline tells us we can lose 10 pounds in 10 minutes.” Let’s take a moment to clear up some of the most common fitness myths. 1. A higher number on the scale means you’re fatter. It depends where those pounds are coming from: fat or muscle. “The difference is the density,” Archer said. A pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat. That’s why it’s possible to become leaner and healthier while at the same time gaining weight. “So don’t be overly concerned with a specific number on the scale; it’s more about how you feel.” 2. Lifting weights makes women bulky. Most women have nothing to worry about in terms of bulking up, says Victor Ibrahim, a team doctor for D.C. United. “First of all, it requires very intensive training that most people won’t do — like pyramid training.” Pyramid training is a system of overloading muscles, working them to exhaustion. Secondly, Ibrahim says, most women lack the testosterone levels to build bulging muscles. Weight training does create some muscle definition, which is something many women want. “Resistance training is actually essential for toning,” Ibrahim said. 3. When you stop weight training, muscles turn into fat. “This is like saying that lead can turn into gold,” said Ed Ingebretsen, a American College of Sports Medicine-certified personal trainer. “Muscle and fat are two different types of tissue,” Ingebretsen said. When you stop training, you lose muscle mass, which in turn slows your metabolism, he says. The slower metabolism in turn can cause weight gain when you stop working out — but one type of tissue doesn’t “turn into” the other. 4. Running on a treadmill is better for joints than running outside. Not so for most treadmills, Ibrahim says. “Unless it’s a high-quality, extra-shock- absorbing treadmill, it’s not going to make much of a difference,” he said. And the super shock-absorbing treadmills are not likely to be found in normal gyms, he adds. 5. Moderate aerobic work puts you in the ideal fat-burning zone. “With any level of exercise you are using a mix of fuels,” Archer said. “Generally, the harder you work, the more fat you burn.” But before you can work at those most intense levels — i.e., anaerobically — you have to build up to it. “It’s progressive. You have to build some aerobic endurance before you can start working at high-intensity levels,” she said. In other words, walk before you run and run before you sprint — pushing the body progressively. 6. As long as you exercise you can eat anything you want. “Individual metabolism determines how many calories we burn at rest and while we exercise,” Ingebretsen said. “If we eat more calories than we burn on a consistent basis, our bodies will accumulate these extra calories as fat regardless of the amount of exercise that we do,” he said. So, if you were thinking of adopting Michael Phelps’ 10,000-calorie-a-day-diet because you have started running a few miles a day, forget it. 7. Machines are safer than free weights. Not necessarily. Machines are not designed for all body types. There are only so many ways you can adjust the seat and other settings. “Machines are kind of averaged out,” Ibrahim said. “They’re not going to fit everyone.” Free weights, on the other hand, can be adapted more easily. “But with free weights, it’s also easy to slip into bad habits,” he said. In other words, form, alignment and setup are important for both free weights and machines. 8. If you don’t sweat, you’re not working. “Sweating is not always related to heart rate — which is the best measure of exercise capacity,” Ibrahim said. Sweat is just the body’s way to regulate body temperature, he says. And some of us just run hotter than others — sometimes independently of heart-rate levels. 9. Fat can be spot-reduced. “This is just more wishful thinking,” Archer said. Fat reduction — in the midsection and elsewhere — will happen with a combination of healthy eating, cardio and strength work, she says. You don’t get to pick one body part or another. In other words, the 1,000 crunches won’t reveal the six-pack abs unless you also focus on healthy eating and some form of cardio- respiratory exertion. 10. Stretching before exercise improves performance. The need for stretching is very individual, Ibrahim says, adding that many people, especially women, are hyperflexible and should consider focusing on building muscle to stabilize joints instead. It’s best to stretch after working out, as muscles and connective tissue are warmed up and more receptive to “lengthening,” Archer says. She recommends slow and deliberate stretches and says to breathe deeply, hold a stretch for 10 to 15 seconds and repeat.

Please could I grow up to be Princess Elsa? I want to have superpowers. Especially the power to make snow and ice fly out of my hands. I love snow probably more than anyone on Earth, and if anyone would make a good Princess Elsa, it would be me. I promise to use my powers for the good of all mankind — and maybe a teeny tiny powder day for my snowboard — but mostly for the good of mankind. And bless the Earth and peace and everything. Amen. I was a little girl when my father told me that as he got to be ten or eleven, and realized he couldn’t grow up to be Superman, he was pretty upset. What did he mean he couldn’t grow up to be Superman? I was going to be Wonder Woman. I just knew it. Or a singing mermaid. It was a hard decision. As I watched “Frozen” tonight with my kids, my daughter was especially intrigued. She’s already into all things “pretty” and “princess”. As the horse in the movie galloped onscreen, my daughter (she’s almost two) galloped across the couch. When the princesses sang, my daughter serenaded us. Her lyrics were gibberish, but the girl has lungs 😉 I don’t know if she’ll grow up to be Wonder Woman, but a singing mermaid may be in the cards for her… It was easy to go back in time and find my excitement for princesses, superpowers, magic… okay… I didn’t have to go back in time. I’m kind of still REALLY excited about princesses and superpowers and magic. I mean, it’s not like I did an online search for “Frozen princess toys” after the movie or anything. And if I did, it wasn’t for me. That ice palace is enchanting! I want one. For my daughter, of course. But what are we doing to our daughters and sons with all these superhero and princess movies? Are we giving them lofty expectations? Setting them up for total disappointment? Why don’t we stick our children in front of a musical about an aspiring politician who sings, “Oh I just can’t wait to be king”? And if I’m an adult with a husband, four kids, a mortgage… and I still want to be a princess/superhero — what’s wrong with me? The answer is absolutely nothing. What we’re doing to our sons and our daughters is giving them imagination and dreams. Real life mirrors fantasy more than we let ourselves see. I AM the princess of my castle, I married Mr. Incredible, and we’re raising three chivalrous, courageous knights and one charmingly intelligent, resourceful princess. I can’t shoot ice and snow out of my hands like Princess Elsa in “Frozen”… but I do take my children to play in the snow on a mountain. I didn’t pass the genes of invisibility and super speed to my children, like the Incredibles, but I taught them to read — and a person who can read can do anything. I don’t have magic healing hair like Rapunzel, but Power Ranger Band Aids abound, and if those don’t fix it, I know where to find a “magic” healing doctor. I don’t loose arrows on horseback like Merida, but my daughter will grow up watching her mother be brave. Parents have superpowers. We really do. They haven’t been left to rot in the forgotten dreams of our childhood. We’ve had them all along. Only we don’t recognize our abilities, because we’re too busy listening to the world tell us that life is not magical. Parents create the future. There has never been a more amazing superpower. Twenty years after my father told me how disappointing it was when he found out he couldn’t grow up to be Superman, I have news for him: He did grow up to be Superman. And he married Superwoman. And they raised a brave princess who recognizes the superpowers we all have within ourselves. Now recognize your own 😉 And pass them on to your children…

'Who You Are' singer plots a more miserable follow-up Jessie J has claimed that there will be “a lot more pain” on her second album. In an interview with the Daily Star, the singer revealed that the follow-up to this year’s ‘Who You Are’ will be darker in tone and draw inspiration from the “bad place” she was in before she signed her record deal. J, who claimed last week that suffering from a stroke had made her a better artist (December 23), said: There’ll be a lot more pain in the lyrics on my next album. For the seven years before I signed my record deal I was in a bad place and I was scared that I couldn’t get out of it. That’s why I wrote such upbeat music, as a way of trying to escape how I felt. She went on to add: “Now that I am happier, I won’t be afraid to explore my pain. But in a good way; it’ll be me saying that it’s OK not to feel OK. Not every song needs a happy ending.” J also said she wanted to explore “different styles” on the new LP and was already thinking about “who I get to duet with”. Last month, her track ‘Price Tag’ with rapper BoB was revealed as the biggest-selling collaboration of 2011.

The very first day I typed on a pc, my speed was slow, so I took it as a challenge and mastered Mavis Beacon. Now, I will type a page with my eyes shut and with pace. So, work on yourself and don't find excuses to give up. And both of you- Most associations seem to just naturally evolve, however if there are extenuating circumstances( young children, a painful disease) there might be negotiations involved. And you may have the hand in the negotiations. If it occurs, it's another local sluts to consider hard and long about. Reality bites. It's not too difficult to work out why this is. They are completely free, nearly everyone is on there and they are used throughout the local sluts Poulsbo Washington. If you know whatyou're doing it is possible to use them efficiently although they are dating websites. The technology is really great on Facebook that this is used by lots of official relationship companies to power their particular sites. A few even permit you to log in using your Facebook information to save time. Comparing individual or your current date of interest is a NAY! That'll have them taking to the hills as fast they can be taken by as their legs. Notification Banners is the foundation of a relationship that is trustworthy, while we are prone to a few lies, no date wants to hear while performing handstands how you climbed Mount Everest. I am certain that they'd be too polite to call you out on it, Though your escapades may have their brows gracing their hairlines. Stick with it, or as near the truth as you can get. No date wishes to find out that you lied about age, your job, financial circumstances or educational background. The purpose is, you have got the equipment and you used it. The real challenge is knowing how it functions so you can real arab hookers porn Poulsbo WA your ruts from interrupting the magical and live the type of lifeyou're supposed to. Here is the important thing to grasp all of this: You'll realize that a lot are around YOU a se, especially if a woman is being difficult, bitchy, or unresponsive. And you'll understand on a deeper level that anything is or is not said will not hurt you in any way. Henry Ford once said, " If you believe you can, or you think you can not, you are right. " The Poulsbo online dating websites 30t step in changing my Poulsbo Washington online dating thick skin entails you take your skill away by simply saying so. I eliminate the chance of it when I state I can't do something. Many women find it hard enough to write their profile article out. What does one say? What is the best approach to market one's self? Playing the strong silent type won't get you far in the online dating arena. You can't afford to rely on your composition when it a window into your character. Men use the profile as a factor, if they continue based on what they've read up to now? Always make sure that you have sufficient meat in profile article. In the old days, before the Internet and ready- made local sluts at our fingertips, we socialized and lived in communities. These communities were both a societal and security network. People looked out for one another and knew their neighbors. There were matchmakers. Matchmakers were individuals who understood the community members and appreciated connecting singles, hoping to make a love connection. It was not their career. It was more of a hobby. The issue is, that if you fail to take such steps in a timeline that's compatible with her expectations, you set her situation sirens blaring. Her mind goes into overtime trying to figure you out, trying to spot trying to create a strategy you get the picture. By way of an example, I had an email from a girl who I could tell was trying to work me out. I got the impression begging her so much so that she toyed for the amusement with them. She said that she was looking for someoneto'entertainher'. So I just gave her the web site address for a kids party magician who twisted balloons into wonderful and weird shapes. This made it apparent that I was worth chasing and lead to interesting dates where she acknowledged what she'd been up to. Now that the dating stigma is a non- issue, it ends up that social networking websites exist within a niche of their own. Due to the fact that of this it's vital that there is a taking care of relationship within your existence. It's going an extensive method to quiting you moving on mentally well. The way you talk with your mate could influence the quantity of stress and anxiety as well as rage you bring around together with you. This might also affect how pleased you are. It's proven that for those who have an excellent Poulsbo WA casual sex and emotion, the much more not likely you'll be to develop depression. You may be hearing a barrage of remarks about marriage in the singles culture, Althoughyou're working to develop new friendships. There are those who shout from the hilltops that they won't ever get married and rave and rant. They compile long lists of all the negative and painful aspects of marriage. And when there is someone who decides to remarry, they send cards of closeness to the bunch! You have to realize that these people are threatened by union as a few people are threatened by divorce. Possibly a terrible marriage led to feelings that they could never have a happy marriage, so that they project their unhappy biases about good sex dating site Poulsbo on others. The good thing is that this website caters to nerds, so there is no possibility of running into some other posers on the site. It's also not only a website, so if you are just looking to attend a conference with, this site may also assist. It's also a good spot to locate news and reviews on animes, mangas, and conventions too. THE HURRICANE The story is about a talented single lady out there surviving while keeping her eyes open for a man date that she desperately desires: " A yuppie decided to take a vacation. He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise however, the boat sank and he cleaned on an island with no other people. After a while he's on the beach and a girl rows up. He asks where she came from and she informs him she rowed from the other side of the island when her own ship sank. He notes the rowboat and she tells him she produced it with tools she fired in a kiln she left from trees. This guy is so pleased. She invites him to her place and they row there. They move in and she tells him if he desires he can shave since there's a wig in the bathroom. The man moves and there is a razor made of bone. " This girl is amazing, " he muses. He shaves she observes that they have been there a very long time on the island and can be n` t there something, after that he feels like doing like possibly having some fresh cooked sea fish. However, no he asks if he can check his email from here. The previous fiction tips out the sort of accomplished date a man could be searching, like a trial lawyer or possibly an established judge. Me: had not planned it out yet but I thought, you, me, beverages. . . might let you slap my bum( shrugging emoji) brainstorming here prostitutes livingston scotland through passivity. We are having drinks and I might let her slap my milf fuck buddy skype, if I'm feeling up for it. I'm not doing anything, and she is the one. This is a good way to judge her attention that is sexual. It's silly and non- threatening, which is what you desire this early. But then something happened to me personally. To a lot of Baby Boomers. Why did so many of those changes have to be about technologies? My current home, built prior to the Poulsbo local sluts, is built for the future than I am. Compared to Spaghetti Works has noodles for a week- long all- you- can- eat buffet it has wires. Re- evaluate criteria and your own values as well as your deal breakers to make sure you keep yourself up to date with howyou're feeling and how you have grown as a person. Because it is very easy to fall back into old habits of behaviour. As though you need to understand women than men do, he wants. And this means how they are programmed to operate when it comes to guys and you'll have to find out more about these. So basically, I would be on Heaven's version of The Bachelorette, but is that a terrible thing? If there is a" ONE, " wouldn't seeing all of them together kind of shed light on the circumstance? Maybe THE ONE wasn't my husband. I dropped in love with the man that was third. And isn't it better that the initial ONE understands this so he could move on? Even if he sat at Heaven's door waiting for me to get seventy years prior to going in, he has the rest of eternity to find someone else, and that I don't need to waste any more of his time when he's not actually my ONE. If you feel like calling him, call him. That's the whole point of familiarity: the andy kaufman prostitutes to become more vulnerable with one another. Without being destitute, can you be comfortable with your requirements? That is being your female essence, and it is hot. He always has a carefree attitude because he understands that his own life is his own and that he doesn't need people's" Poulsbo bbw black sex dating" to do what he needs. If he sees an attractive girl he will go talk to her and since he's carefree and other people's opinions don't influence him, he isn't concerned about getting rejected. Few people noticed me since I kept to myself. I did not speak to anybody, and nobody talked to me. Many people never even realized I was there. What annoys me is that I often find some of the fantastic, likable, and considerate folks in that audience. The problem lies in that the majority of individuals don't know they exist individuals have a natural local sluts Poulsbo WA to want to fade into the wallpaper.

Why Should You Protect Your Green Card? To some aspiring Americans, becoming a lawful permanent resident(LPR) is their ultimate goal. Of course, acquiring a green card is a job well done, but I propose: This should only be your starting point. You should know that there is a huge gap between a LPR and a citizen. The difference is wide, but simply put, you won't have access to what US citizens enjoy exclusively. Your permanent resident status can be lost for several reasons, one of which is spending too much time abroad. Imagine finally becoming an LPR after the long tiring process, only to have your status revoked: Not for committing a crime; not for falsifying documents – but for staying abroad for too long. It may be harsh, but it'll happen if you do not take the necessary precautions to protect your green card prior to your travel. How To Protect Your Green Card? If you’re going to travel outside the U.S., and you know you’ll be spending 6 months or more out of every 12 months, you should protect your green card with one of the two options: Get a Re-entry Permit or Naturalize A re-entry permit is a simple travel document that USCIS issues to LPRs to allow them to protect their green card even after spending a long time abroad. If you intend to stay outside the U.S. for more than 1 year and keep your residency status, then you need a re-entry permit. It serves as evidence that you do not intend to abandon your U.S. residence. However, we recommend applying for a re-entry permit if you intend to (or if it’s possible) that you will spend more than 6 months outside the US. This is because LPRs who return to the U.S. after a 6 month absence are placed in a different legal category than those returning after less than 6 months. That means you can be asked more questions. Your travel history will be scrutinized, and ties to the United States reviewed. And one question you will be asked is, “Did you apply for a re-entry permit?” You want to be able to say yes, you did. Better to have it and not need it than not have it and need it! That being said, you do not need a re-entry permit for every travel outside the U.S.: - If you know you won't be spending up to 6 months outside the United States, you don’t need a re-entry permit. - A re-entry permit won’t help if you’re spending more than 2 years abroad. What you need for trips longer than 2 years is an SB-1 visa (returning resident visa) Applying For A Re-entry Permit Here is everything you need to know about applying for a re-entry permit: - To apply for a re-entry permit, you’ll need to use Form I-131, Application For Travel Document. - You must file Form I-131 at least 60 days prior to your travel. - You must be present in the U.S. when you’re applying for a re-entry permit (No, there are no exceptions to this rule.) - If you do not have a green card (or a conditional green card), you cannot apply. Note: If you’ve applied for a green card but have not yet received it, the Form I-131 cannot be used for a re-entry permit. You may, however, use it for advance parole. - If you are between the ages of 14-79 years, you’ll need to submit your biometrics at a biometrics services appointment. You must do this in the U.S. - Once your biometrics have been submitted, you are free to travel, even before receiving the re-entry permit - A re-entry permit is only valid for 2 years. Once it expires, you'll have to file another. - Do not forget the filing fee and biometric fee! The fees can be submitted together on one check or money order, but be sure the math is correct! Getting a re-entry permit does not make you completely immune to suspicions of abandoning your U.S. residence. If Customs and Border Protection(CBP) officials believe that you planned to abandon your U.S. residence, further investigation may be carried out. You can easily avoid this. By keeping your connections (like tax filings, family ties, U.S. employer, etc.) to the U.S., you will be able to avoid further questioning from the CBP officials. When you tender your re-entry permit and other necessary evidence at the entry point, you will undoubtedly be admitted back into the United States. The best option, in the long run, is to accrue time to naturalize. Once you're eligible, you should consider filing for Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization). Asides being a full-fledged U.S. citizen, you get a permanent break from travel restrictions. You’ll be able to go wherever you want, whenever you want, for as long as you want. Travel restrictions aside, you also get to save money by naturalizing. It costs $540 every 10 years to renew a green card. In contrast, you pay your N-400 fee of $725 only once. (These fees will increase on Oct 2, 2020 – stay tuned to our firm for updates) You also get the right to vote, sponsor more family members, and usually you can keep your other country’s passport. The United States will only recognize you as a citizen, but will not force you to cancel your other passports. However, some countries (such as Japan, Germany, and India) will revoke your citizenship once you acquire citizenship in the U.S. So be sure to consult with a lawyer in your home country if you want to ensure the ability to retain your home country’s citizenship. So, if you want to travel without suffering the backlash, you should keep the following in mind: - Make sure you get a re-entry permit if you’re spending less than 2 years, but more than 1 year abroad. - Ensure you keep your connections with the United States. Do not under any circumstances, file your taxes as a nonresident (Form 1040NR). However, you may, if you qualify, take the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) on IRS Form 2555. - If you’re spending more than 2 years, then get an SB-1 Visa - Take your time to naturalize. Prosper Without Restrictions! You have the right to pursue happiness – happiness in the family, business, friendship, etc. All of it is happiness and prosperity. But what do you do if your ties are far away? The ideal option is to spend time with them when you have time. But doing this could put you at a loss if you do not take precautions. Unsure of what precautions to take? Do you know which ones to take, but don’t know how? Have you hit a wall? Then contact The HMA Law Firm. Through guidance, communication, and intensive attention, we will help you hang on tight to the life you’ve built in the United States. We are just a call away! So help us help you.

India has a new set of guidelines for examinations of computer related inventions that are more favourable to patentees by removing a novel hardware requirement that was stipulated in the previous guidelines. However, Indian IP practitioners see ambiguities that may lead to unsuitable patents being granted. The computer related inventions (CRIs) guidelines, which came into effect on June 30, aim to clarify the exclusions under India Patents Act section 3(k) so that eligible applications of patents relating to CRIs can be examined more efficiently. A three-stage test stipulated previously has been removed. Of particular interest to patentees is that the requirement of novel hardware in CRIs is no longer mandatory. The guidelines emphasise that the underlying substance of the invention is important and, therefore, require the patent office to examine the invention as a whole and for the technical advancement exhibited by the claimed invention. Birendra Kumar, senior associate at Fox Mandal & Associates, explains that the previous guidelines contradicted the intention of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) where the requirement of “novel hardware” was not indicated. The JPC was formed for the Patents (Second Amendment) Bill 1999 to recommend the possibility of amendment of the Patents Act, 1970. The JPC mentioned this while introducing “per se” in Section 3(k) during the amendment of the Patent Act 2002: In the new proposed clause (k) the words ''per se" have been inserted. This change has been proposed because sometimes the computer programme may include certain other things, ancillary thereto or developed thereon. The intention here is not to reject them for grant of patent if they are inventions. However, the computer programmes as such are not intended to be granted patent. This amendment has been proposed to clarify the purpose. The JPC did not intend to restrict the grant of patents to qualified CRIs, but to restrict the invention disclosing only the software per se. However, the requirement of the “new hardware element”, prescribed by the CRI guidelines 2016, posed a big hurdle to the grant of CRIs since it is difficult to come up new hardware every time. “Almost all stakeholders were opposed to the new guidelines and in their feedback requested removal of the said guideline,” says Kumar. “To bring an end to the chaos, the CRI examination guidelines were revised in June 2017 to bring the law in conformity with the intention of JPC and with the objective of promoting research in software technology based invention.” Comparison with other jurisdictions How computer related inventions are examined in India and at the European Patent Office (EPO) is fundamentally similar. “However, the EPO allows software implemented methods even if they are not hardware enabled,” says Ritushka Negi, partner at Remfry & Sagar. “In contrast, the new CRI guidelines require enablement of such methods through interaction with hardware elements and establishing a technical effect. Further, unlike India, claims to the computer readable medium are allowed by the EPO.” Negi explains that the US subject matter exclusion under 35 USC Section 101 is different from how eligibility is reviewed in India and, therefore, a comparison with India is not easy since the very nature of how CRIs are viewed in these two jurisdictions is different. “Nevertheless, the Alice Corp. v CLS Bank decision relating to software patents makes it difficult for such method claims to be allowed in the US,” she says. “This is perhaps similar to India, for different reasons, where even under the new guidelines, allowing software implemented methods remains a challenge.” For India, CRIs should be more than just software per se and must include features such as novel and useful interaction between the software and the machine. “EPO is comparatively stringent in allowing software related inventions,” says Kumar. “CRIs should solve a technical problem and have a technical effect. In contrast, US law is more liberal and the process in a CRI-based invention is allowable if it can be performed on a device/apparatus.” Shortcoming of the new guidelines Some stakeholders believe the guidelines are favourable for the software industry while others believe that they don’t do enough to remove the ambiguity about CRIs. For example, there are no case examples for positive inventions. “This is seen as important because just like negative examples of what is not allowed, such positive examples would aid the examiners who like to strictly follow the guidelines while reviewing the patentability of computer related inventions,” says Negi. “There are other stakeholders who believe that the guidelines are disappointing and that the revisions have made the guidelines ambiguous which would result in the granting of unsuitable patents.” “The said guidelines attempt to infuse objectivity to the process of examination of patent applications; however, subjectivity arises during the examination owing to the lack of proper reference examples detailing the allowed and not-allowed subject matter,” adds Kumar. “Training workshops to bring everybody on the same page could be of great help in the effective implementation of the new guidelines.” India’s software industry generally welcomes the new CRI guidelines to help promote innovation, but the guidelines still lack clarity. Providing clearer examples and training will help to solidify understanding of the new provisions.

Material Control Systems, Inc. plans to build a $10 million logistics facility in East Moline, Illinois , more than quadrupling its workforce by adding 150 new jobs. The new 100,000-square-foot East Moline warehouse will be used to assist in the distribution of the company’s packaging and shipping products. MATCON has expanded into the manufacturing of plastic returnable packaging systems and urethane products for shipping. Headquartered in Port Byron, with another production facility in Cordova, Illinois, the firm also operates facilities in Iowa and North Carolina. “I’d like to thank the State of Illinois, the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce, and The National Bank for making this new facility a reality and in the process creating 150 new jobs for the Quad Cities area,” MATCON owner and president Donn Larson said. “MATCON is a company with a long history in Illinois going back to the 1930s,” Gov. Pat Quinn said. “Its commitment to grow here in the heart of the heartland is a testament to Illinois’ skilled workforce and our longstanding role as the nation’s central transportation and distribution hub.” As an incentive, MATCON will receive a $1,015,000 loan through the state’s Advantage Illinois program, which helps small businesses gain access to capital and is federally funded. The Advantage Illinois loan is part of a total $10.15 million loan package through a private bank and the Small Business Administration. Funding for Advantage Illinois is provided by the U.S. Treasury through the State Small Business Credit Initiative. MATCON is also eligible for Economic Development for a Growing Economy tax credits, which are issued based on job creation. The EDGE tax credits are performance-based, meaning a company is not eligible for them unless it meets its commitment to create new jobs, keep existing jobs and make the agreed upon private investment. “Small and medium sized business like MATCON play a vital role in creating jobs and fueling economic growth in Illinois,” DCEO Director Adam Pollet said.

British Airways bosses have apologised to Gary Neville after he was bumped from an overbooked flight. The former Manchester United star blasted the airline on Twitter after he was unable to travel on a flight from Manchester Airport to London Heathrow. A later message said Neville was travelling to London on a train in an attempt to make a connecting flight at Heathrow on time. He tweeted: “@British_Airways you are an absolute disgrace!! Overbooking flights and not getting people on...worst airline I’ve ever seen!” He added: “I never actually travel with @British_Airways as they are a shambles. But they have a monopoly on Manchester to Heathrow. @flybe @easyJet @jet2tweets so much better!!” BA bosses have since apologised to Neville, blaming ‘weather conditions’. But they also defended their overbooking policies. A statement read: “We’re getting in touch with Gary to apologise and resolve the issue, caused by difficult weather conditions in Manchester. “Many airlines operate over booking policies because a small number of passengers, having made their bookings, do not turn up for their flights. “By careful monitoring of booking and load patterns for each flight, we do our best to maximise the number of customers able to travel on each service. “ What can I do to avoid being bumped from my flight? Become a frequent flyer Sign up for frequent flyer programs. Flyers are less likely to get bumped if they are frequent travellers with the airline they are travelling with. Fly off peak Those choosing to fly early in the morning versus later in the evening are less likely to board an overbooked flight. Don’t accept travel vouchers If flyers do end up being on an overbooked flight then they shouldn’t take the travel voucher. Travellers who want to end up on their original flight shouldn’t volunteer to give up their seat in exchange for a travel voucher. This won’t guarantee that they will keep their ticket, but it’s their best chance. File for compensation immediately If passengers end up being denied boarding they should file Immediately. If flyers who have experienced an overbooking don’t accept a voucher and end up being denied boarding anyway, they should file a claim for compensation from the airline immediately. AirHelp can handle these claims. Otherwise, they should talk to the gate attendant or call their airline to begin the claims process while they wait for their next flight. Talk to other travellers Spread the word among other passengers about their rights to compensation. Every year, millions of people are entitled to compensation from their airlines, but less than two per cent claim their compensation. As more people fight for their rights, the more laws will be changed in favour of passengers. Passengers must stand up for their rights anytime they experience a disrupted flight so that the airlines can be held accountable for their mistakes.

This not exactly just in: Kailyn Lowry will not be inviting Jenelle Evans over for Christmas this year. Or any year after this, either, we can safely say. The Teen Mom stars have gone back and forth on Twitter over the topic of Kailyn's sexuality, with Jenelle making what certainly seems like a very insensitive and inappropriate comment. That's so unlike her, right?!? Scroll down to see what we mean and to take a side in this ongoing feud... Kailyn and Jenelle Were Once Close Friends Heck, Kailyn once helped Jenelle post bond and get out of jail. But the relationship appeared to sour for good when Evans told the world Lowry was pregnant with her third child... before Kailyn wanted that news out there. I'm Coming for You, Kailyn... In early October, sort of out of nowhere, Jenelle addressed Kailyn on social media, asked why Lowry is always talking about her kids (Editor's Note: She's not) and made it clear that she was prepared to go after her former friend online. The Attack Commences "I really hope you're reconnecting with your mom because you f-cking need it," Evans ranted at Lowry shortly afterward, adding: "You need someone to love you so you can stop fantasizing about other's lives and putting others down because you don't have the life you want. Sorry. Hope you find some peace and happiness." "I'm flattered she's so bothered by me," Lowry said to Radar Online in response. "She's gotta calm down. Out of everyone she's only bothered by me... and I'm not even writing about her." Passive Aggressive Shade Thrown Considering Jenelle started going off on her around the same time as allegations of domestic abuse against David Eason, Lowry added in this Radar Online chat: "Jenelle only makes a big deal about me when something else is going on underneath it all." But Then Evans Crossed a Line It was all sort of harmless, at least from Kailyn's point of view, until Jenelle responded to a question from someone on Instagram by stating that Lowry appears "confused about her sexuality." There's No Confusion Here Kailyn is bisexual. We don't think she's ever come out and used this word before, but she has dated men and then she dated a woman named Dominique Potter toward the end of 2017. Lowry referred to Potter as her girlfriend There's Also Been Talk That Kailyn Had a Fling with Her Friend Becky But Kailyn has strongly denied any romantic connection to Becky. Still, the Homophobic Chatter Has Persisted And, as you can see here, Lowry has done an admirable job of standing up for her beliefs at every opportunity. A Question for Jenelle: Kailyn responded to Jenelle's claim that she's "confused" about her sexuality by posing this question on Twitter. Huh? Explain That Please. Eason does need a lot of explaining, we know. But This is What He Wrote to Kailyn for Some Reason: “Too bad your mans beard is patchy as f-ck! Oh yea and I thought you were a lesbian? Oh I see, you just like to f**k everyone. I guess Barb was right about you lmao." The Perfect Response Lowry shot Eason down with just one Tweet, really. This Really Didn't Go Well for Eason Fans were very much on Kailyn's side after he also attacked her sexuality. Lowry Has Moved on for Now She has other trolls to dunk on at the moment . But you best believe she'll be ready for Jenelle the next time she attacks. Which Could Be Happening RIGHT NOW Teen Mom 2 is filming. It is in production. It will likely focus a great deal on the bad blood between these co-stars. When Will It Premiere? Some time in early 2019. Stay tuned, folks!

19 Years Of Leadership Providing safety, support, and education to our community’s youth. In October of 1998, a series of shootings prompted residents in Santa Monica’s Pico Neighborhood to organize the largest demonstration against youth violence in Santa Monica’s history. Residents responded to the shootings by organizing the Vigil for Peace on November 2, 1998. Through this event, community leaders in the Pico Neighborhood revealed that between 1989-1998, twenty-two youth were killed on the streets of the Pico Neighborhood in Santa Monica. More than one thousand residents, families, and friends marched through the heart of Santa Monica to call an end to the violence and to support families who have had to suffer for many years due to the neglect of this social problem. The forum on Youth and Social Justice, a follow-up to the vigil, defined the problem of gang violence as a product of deeply rooted social and economic inequalities. Participants discussed issues of segregation, institutionalized racism and poverty as the root cause of violence and youth-related issues. Various youth and community leaders urged the Santa Monica City Council to expand funding for youth services in the Pico Neighborhood. After various months of planning and advocacy, the youth and families of the Pico Neighborhood won a decisive victory. On June 12, 2001, the PYFC was awarded a grant to deliver services to youth and their families.

I also walked around the house snapping photos of the exterior, the grounds and surrounding area. The house is brick exterior with a tile roof. We don’t normally see tiled roofs in the U.S. and especially not thatch as I saw in wide use as I traveled. The tile I was told lasts longer than the shingles we use in the states and I suppose it’s true as the material will probably stand up to abuse for a longer period. It had a small back yard which was easy to maintain so I went to the local hardware (their version of Home Depot) and purchased an electric lawn mower. I had not up to this point used an electric mower and it was the only option at the local store. I was in the section inspecting the mowers and got the impression they were somewhat of a toy due to size. I asked the clerk if these things actually cut a lawn very well and she gave me this quizzical look. Of course, why would you ask was her reply. Well, this isn’t something you normally see in the states, everything is run by gas. I suppose there are electric mowers, I’ve just never seen one. She finally convinced me it would be fine so I purchased it and proceeded back to the house. Turns out it did a great job and the trimmings went in a container specifically for yard waste as well. The Brits are much more into recycling that we are in America and I had a container for trash, yard waste, bottles and there was even a place down the street for large and toxic type waste.

Selside Parish and Memorial Hall Strimming the churchyard. From 8am, Monday 11th June Selside’s parish church is dedicated to St Thomas. There is a sign on the A6 giving direction to the church which is about half a mile to the east of the main road. There is a service on most Sundays. Morning services are followed by refreshments. Hymns are sung, usually with the accompaniment of our excellent modest organ. We are part of Cumbria's ecumenical partnership between the Anglican Diocese of Carlisle, the United Reformed Church and the Methodist Church. Our congregation comes from a variety of denominational backgrounds. Our church is the only Christian place of worship in the civil parish. The church is part of the Beacon Team of parishes and is in Kendal Deanery in the Diocese of Carlisle. A chapel was built in 1709 in the burial ground, overlooking Selside Hall, which itself dates from the late 15th century. This was replaced by the present building in 1838. The church was further extended with the addition of a tower in 1894. There is a fine East Window depicting Christ the Good Shepherd in scenery echoing the eastward view of the Howgills from the churchyard outside. - 1st Sunday: 10am Holy Communion - 2nd Sunday: 6pm Evensong [Book of Common Prayer] - 3rd Sunday: 10am Holy Communion [joined by Skelsmergh, or at Skelsmergh] - 4th Sunday: 10am Service of the Word - 5th Sunday [when occurring]: 10.30am Joint Holy Communion at one of the churches in the Beacon Team SELSIDE CHURCH FUND RAISING: AFTERNOON TEA We extend our thanks to Jen and Gerry O'Donovan for the fireside Afternoon Teas which they have hosted at the their home over the winter months.

The Japanese American Citizens League issued the following statement on July 27. After a positive conclusion to the 2018 JACL Convention: Redress, Resistance, and Reconciliation, the themes of our convention were immediately put to the test. Upon checkout, a convention attendee who had problems with her room during her stay found the words “Jap Conv” written at the top of her room folio. Immediately upon learning of this on Sunday, JACL contacted the Sheraton and initiated discussion and education about the history of the word’s hurtful past as a racial slur. The ensuing investigation revealed that the word was used in ignorance of its historically racist significance. It is still without question that JACL condemns the use of this word in any context. Anti-Asian racism ran rampant in the late 19th and early 20th century, preventing Japanese from immigrating, naturalizing as citizens, and owning land. This racism culminated in the incarceration of 120,000 Japanese and Japanese American citizens in concentration camps for no reason other than their Japanese ethnicity. The use of the word “Jap” evokes painful memories for those who were incarcerated and is one of many terms that has been used throughout history to dehumanize people of color in this country. While this incident occurred without any malicious intent, this a reminder of why our organization is so relevant today and why we must continue to actively educate individuals about Japanese American history. In addition to refunding the convention attendee, the Sheraton is engaging in immediate training of its full staff and committing to hosting a citywide training in conjunction with PHLDiversity, the arm of the convention bureau responsible for outreach to diversity groups such as ours to bring them to Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Chapter JACL will help facilitate this training to include multicultural training, creating awareness and understanding around the differences between a guest who is from Japan and a Japanese American, and most importantly, the significance of racism in the history of Japanese American incarceration and its relevance to the racial slur that was used. JACL’s newly elected president, Jeffrey Moy, will also be meeting with Marriott’s vice president of multicultural affairs in the coming weeks to further discuss how the Marriott corporation, which includes the Sheraton brand, can ensure its employees worldwide have a better awareness of Japanese American history.

The Dallas Stars head to the "State of Hockey" to take on the Minnesota Wild on Saturday in their final preseason game. Although the Stars (3-2) will have only played in six preseason contests, the feeling of anticipation for the start of the regular season Oct. 6, when Dallas entertains the Vegas Golden Knights in their first-ever game, is palpable. In short, it's time to get rolling. Here's what to look for in Minnesota. 1. Some of the 'A' group takes the night off If you asked all of the veteran players or players who look to make the Stars 23-man roster, they'd probably like to get in this game as a kind of final tune-up. Head coach Ken Hitchcock gets that, but he's not going for it. He wants to give the kids who have been so impressive in training camp one more look, and he doesn't see the value of having a full NHL roster playing at this stage of training camp. He'd rather they save themselves for good, hard practices in the week leading up to Oct. 6. "I'm not playing my lineup on Saturday. I'm not playing it. I just have learned my lesson. I'm not doing it," Hitchcock said. "I'll put in there guys that I still want to look at for now or for the future but I'm not putting the 'A' group in. I don't want to do that." Instead he approached his top players, most of whom had already played three preseason games, and asked them if they are ready. They apparently said yes, hence Saturday's lineup will not include captain Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, Alexander Radulov, John Klingberg and Mattias Janmark. That group will not travel to Minnesota, but will skate in a vigorous session at home. As for Benn, who did not practice with the full group Thursday or Friday, he did skate on his own for an hour on Friday, and will be skating with the small group Saturday, and again with the full group Sunday afternoon as Hitchcock wants to ensure he's at 100 percent for next Friday. 2. Hanzal's debut The one guy everyone is looking forward to seeing play on Saturday night is Martin Hanzal. None more interested to see how it goes than Hanzal himself, who has battled an ankle injury sustained in pre-camp workouts and has just this week returned to full practice. This will be his only preseason contest. "Game speed is going to be huge," said Hanzal who will face off against the team that acquired him at last year's trade deadline. "It's going to be tough you know, it's just one game and the season starts," he added. "I'm really looking forward to playing tomorrow in Minnesota and be part of the group." Perhaps as important as how Hanzal fares in the game is who Hitchcock slots onto the wings with the big center, who was signed as a free agent in the offseason. Looks like Antoine Roussel on the left and Devin Shore on the right to start with. Shore is a left-handed shot but is comfortable playing all three forward positions. Shore has been one of the surprises of camp, and the most consistent forward day-in, day-out. Hitchcock said they want to move Shore, who got some looks playing on the point on the power play the last couple of days, as high up the lineup as possible. "He looks like a really efficient player that's going to help us in a number of areas so we want to expose him to as much as we can in the next week or so," Hitchcock said. Video: Hitch discusses Pitlick's potential 3. Finale for impressive youngsters A number of young forwards have made a significant impression in camp and they'll get a last look on Saturday night as a reward for that effort. But given the Stars' salary cap situation, and the depth up front, it's hard to imagine any other outcome for guys like Remi Elie, Jason Dickinson, Gemel Smith or Roope Hintz -- other than being sent to the Stars' American Hockey League affiliate in Cedar Park, Texas at some point early next week. That's not an indictment of their level of play, but the numbers game as the Stars will be right up against the salary cap when the regular season starts. "Our depth is going to be the strength of the organization for a couple of years now," Hitchcock said. There will be no hesitation in bringing up these players should circumstances dictate, the coach added. "We're going to have no issue bringing them up and playing them on a regular basis because we've seen what they can do," Hitchcock said. 4. Quite possible the Stars will carry eight defensemen What remains unknown heading into the final preseason game is how the defense shakes down, especially with GM Jim Nill telling reporters Friday there's a good possibility the team will carry eight defensemen. How this impacts talented young defender Julius Honka remains unknown. Honka, 21, has had an up and down camp but when he's been up he's been very good, especially on the offensive side of the puck. If Honka, who will play Saturday, stays with the big team he likely starts the season out of the top six, which means if he's in the lineup it will be as a seventh defenseman where he will play sparingly (likely on the power play). And that's if he plays at all. It's possible Hitchcock would use his seventh spot on more experienced players, Patrik Nemeth or Greg Pateryn, both of whom have been solid in camp. Lineup numbers and the salary cap dictate that if Honka stays one of Pateryn or Nemeth has to go. The bigger question is whether Honka staying with the big club, but not playing regularly, hampers his development. Is there more value in working every day with defensive coach Rick Wilson, and simply being around NHL players, than playing big minutes every night as a top-pairing defenseman in the American Hockey League a few hours down the road in Cedar Park? Discuss amongst yourselves. The regular season is when teams really get a feel for where players are at, Nill said. "And things change quick in this business," he added. "We'll go game by game here. See where we're at. We've got lots of flexibility. Lots of different options." 5. Ben gets the nod in net Ben Bishop will get the start on Saturday night and play the entire game. He's played a total of five periods in the preseason (one full game and two periods of his first start). Kari Lehtonen, who started the previous game against Minnesota on Tuesday, has played eight periods (two full games and two periods in his first start). Bishop will no doubt start next Friday's season opener, and we would speculate that Lehtonen will play the next night in St. Louis as the Stars open the regular season with back-to-back games -- a situation that Hitchcock admitted isn't ideal especially right off the hop.

Case Study: Feed the Future Website Ed. note: This case study is a selection from the 2012 “Justified” competition, in which an esteemed jury identified submissions that demonstrate the value of design in a clear, compelling and accessible way. It serves as an example of how to explain design thinking to clients, students, peers and the public in general, based on specific metrics. Client Brief: Feed the Future is the United States Government’s global hunger and food security initiative. It supports country-driven approaches to address the root causes of hunger and poverty and forge long-term solutions to chronic food insecurity and undernutrition. Drawing upon resources and expertise of agencies across the U.S. Government, this Presidential Initiative is helping countries transform their own agriculture sectors to grow enough food sustainably to feed their people. The Feed the Future website has been developed and managed by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to illustrate the advocacy and communications agenda of the Initiative. The goal of the site is to illuminate the issues of food security and global hunger and to demonstrate progress towards agricultural sustainability. Overview of Market: Feed the Future is the United States’ contribution to a collaborative global effort that supports country-owned processes and plans for improving food security and promoting transparency. Through Feed the Future, the U.S. Government is renewing its commitment to agriculture and economic growth, focusing on harnessing the power of the private sector and research to transform agricultural development. Feed the Future represents a $3.5 billion pledge to work with partner countries, development partners and other stakeholders to tackle global food security challenges. These collective efforts advance global stability and prosperity by improving the most basic of human conditions: the need that families and individuals have for a reliable source of quality food and sufficient resources to purchase it. These efforts, in turn, ultimately advance international security and benefit the American people. While there are certainly other initiative websites that aim to raise awareness around issues of food security and global hunger (e.g., ONE, FWD), Feed the Future is unique in that it represents the whole of the United States Government, providing information that is transparent and accessible to a broad audience, from the private sector to international political leaders and local stakeholders. A significant amount of research and background analysis informed the development of the Feed the Future website. A series of websites were reviewed in preparation for the design process (see list below), which helped the team better understand the context and players in the field, and better frame the niche for the Feed the Future website: Additionally, the KDMD team had the benefit of developing the Agrilinks website (www.agrilinks.kdid.org), which provided a great deal of knowledge about the field of agriculture and food security, as well as imagery and messaging that resonated with these stakeholders. Between the independent research and the development process, the team was well-informed and well-positioned to create an exceptional website that pleased the client and resonated with the larger audience in positive, engaging ways. The design and development of the Feed the Future website was not without its challenges. From the start, there was a lack of clarity among partners and stakeholders. As an “all of government” Presidential Initiative led by USAID, the site had to appeal to and reflect a wide audience, while simultaneously reflecting the goals and strategies of multiple agencies. Anyone in Washington, DC can attest to the fact that this challenge alone can become an impossible feat. Both the content and the design of the site had to find a delicate balance, being broad enough without losing the identity of the Initiative. This opened the door for a plethora of interagency implications around messaging, coordinating timelines, managing expectations, ensuring inclusivity and respecting the realities of staff resources and their capacity for decision making. At the same time, it was critical to take a site that was trying to be everything to everyone and clarify the target audience and goals, to ensure that the content and design could be customized to foster maximum impact. This led to a very real tension between the desire to get ideas across in a visual way and the sensitive nature of interagency government work: What’s published online represents the American people and it had to be right. Besides the stakeholder and audience coordination challenges, there were a number of hurdles to overcome with the existing site itself. The information provided on the site was stagnate and stale; a troubling issue for an initiative that positioned itself as forward-thinking and dynamic. The look and feel of the logo and the entire site needed to be upgraded to reflect positive imagery and a sense of impact and success. The original logo was confusing (incorporating “see,” “feed” and “change”) and the typography was weak. The revised logo needed to be neutral but still stand out, and it had to exhibit some continuity with the old logo while representing the symbolism of each of the Initiative partners. Content also needed to be generated and displayed in live and engaging ways. There was an abundance of data that needed to be visualized in a clean, clear manner. The navigation required organization and categorization that facilitated ease of use and brevity. Content had to be determined through a strategic, transparent process to ensure that the best information was being shared in the best ways for a global audience. Above all, the site needed to demonstrate the transparency of Feed the Future’s approach and progress in every way, from the content to the organization and design. The KDMD team applies a similar process and strategy to all web development projects, one that includes a thorough discovery phase, architecture and design, content development, site build and continuous feedback and validation. This flexible process allows us to make sure we have the appropriate requirements and assumptions in place before we begin the design and development, with input along the way that ensures responsiveness to change, and justification and buy-in for the final product. The process for the Feed the Future website development began in July 2011 with a set of stakeholder surveys, interviews and user stories that resulted in a deeper understanding of the objectives, goals, audiences and priorities for the site itself. A usability advisor paid close attention to how people reacted to the the redesign plans and what they hoped to see. User personas were also developed to better understand the needs, interests and behaviors of key stakeholders, and to determine how this knowledge aligned with site objectives. Combined with an analysis of existing and necessary content, site requirements were documented—including tips and recommendations for site development—and used to inform the subsequent phases of the process. The architecture and design phase included the creation of a site map and wireframes that demonstrate the site and page structure, navigation and behavior. Branding assessment and recommendations were presented, and templates were designed. This phase also incorporated feedback from a focus group of sample stakeholders. Once decisions were made on the site architecture and design, content and management plans were developed. Content was inventoried and mapped, taxonomies were developed and a gap analysis was conducted to discover where additional content needed to be developed. The team quickly learned that getting information from the client was going to be a challenge given the variety of interagency players. Midway through the development process, it became evident that adjustments needed to be made to accommodate client approvals from legislative and public affairs offices, as well as from the USAID administrator, Raj Shah. Since this was a high-profile government site, buy-in at the highest levels was essential. The Feed the Future website is graphic heavy, and input on the content as it related to the graphic elements was critical. In fact, it was impossible to move forward without the proper approvals. To navigate this, the team worked closely with our client to think strategically and listen closely—and to deliver the right information, in the right ways, at the right time to receive the maximum feedback that allowed us to continue the development process. In light of this, a development plan was created to foresee future content development needs, roles and requirements, and a management plan helped to facilitate workflow, roles and permissions. The final stage of the Feed the Future website development process resulted in the actual site build, which included elements such as hosting, programming and theming, content migration, analytics implementation, quality assurance and a usability focus group with sample stakeholders. Additional components of this strategy—which should not go unmentioned or underappreciated—included the implementation of an outreach and engagement plan to not only promote the site, but encourage users to actively seek information and contribute their feedback. Training was held for key content contributors, and ongoing maintenance and support were provided. Ultimately, this thorough level of engagement and planning paid off with a great deal of buy-in and enthusiasm from the highest levels of government. By all accounts, the Feed the Future website has been a success based on a variety of compelling factors. As a vehicle to leverage the goals of the Initiative itself, the website is a powerful example of mobilizing global change and sustainability through visualization and information sharing. Indeed, the issue of food security and global hunger requires visionary, creative and sustainable solutions, and the website must reinforce these values and demonstrate them in dynamic, accessible ways. One concern for all government agencies is the issue of transaction costs; the hours of manpower and resources that it takes to address all the questions, ideas and requests that pour in from every corner of the globe. By creating a well-designed website, transaction costs can be reduced as people are able to find the information they need in a transparent fashion. The website then becomes a “one-stop shop” for up to date information, and a trusted source of news and background details. What had been a static site became an easily managed site where the client is empowered to create their own updates and feature news and videos on demand. The interagency coordination efforts that occurred during the discovery phase of the development process means that staff spent less time explaining and more time focused on impact. Additionally, the Feed the Future website was developed on a Drupal (open source) content management platform, meaning “it’s built, used and supported by an active and diverse community of people around the world.” This free platform is improved and shared cooperatively, allowing for growth, transparency, quality and reliability across the system. The crux of the Feed the Future initiative, and therefore the ultimate objective of the website, resides in the ability to improve the lives of people around the world. By designing a site that is visually engaging and creating content that is transparent and informative, changemakers have the resources to make decisions that make a difference in reducing global hunger and saving lives. Regarding the environmental impact, proper design and use of a website not only enables a platform that is infinitely sustainable, with easy upgrades and improvements, it also reduces paper production and waste by making documents available electronically. All those brochures, studies and catalogs that were once printed and shipped can now be viewed with the click of a button. The Feed the Future website has been intentionally designed to cross cultural borders, literally and figuratively. The need to appeal to a global audience is one of the most significant features of the site, which specifically identifies 20 countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean (e.g., Guatemala and Haiti), Africa (e.g., Liberia and Tanzania) and Asia (e.g., Cambodia and Tajikistan). It provides a forum for these countries to learn from one another and enables other stakeholders to better understand the approaches taking place in Feed the Future countries. Through the private sector hub, partnership opportunities are launched between private sector organizations and country-led Feed the Future initiatives. The website has also become a model for other U.S. Government sites and information-sharing platforms. From the beginning of the strategic development process, the engagement and decision-making approach for an interagency initiative was successfully democratized. The design of the site has changed the perception of government bureaucracy by softening the look and feel of the traditional media while still remaining official. The goal of this effort was to reach people emotionally by projecting a vibrant, active nature. In the short time since its launch, the Feed the Future website is often heralded as an example of what a good government website can look like. Feed the Future site analytics: Compared to 2011, prior to relaunching the redesigned website, the Feed the Future website had 2,000 to 7,000 more views per month.

After two successful films, Pakistani singer-actor Ali Zafar is back in action with his new romantic movie London Paris New York with actress Aditi Rao Hydari that releases Friday. Directed by debutant Anu Menon, the film puts spotlight on the angst of the 20s, a life altering period when one has to find a career, form an identity and experience the charms of falling in love for the first time. It is a story about Lalitha (Aditi), a middle-class South Indian girl from Chembur in Mumbai, who is on her way to New York to study politics on a scholarship. She makes a detour to London, where she meets Nikhil (Ali), a rich Punjabi kid from Bandra, who is to study filmmaking in London. They meet in London and realise they are completely drawn to each other though they know their future lies on two different continents. The film follows their personal journey as they keep meeting in London, Paris and New York. The three cities give a dramatic canvas to create different themes. London Paris New York has been shot in three different phases and captures the lead actors’ evolving state of mind. The three bridges on three rivers Thames, Seine and Hudson play an important role in the story. The growing love is reflected through different sets of music like pop romance in London, electronic sufi in Paris and blues-rap in New York. This is Ali’s third Bollywood outing after Tere Bin Laden and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. Ali is a singer-composer and for the first time has tried his luck in this film with music. He has not only sung all the songs in the film, but has also written and composed them. And Ali admits it was not easy to compose for films. Even lead actress Aditi has sung in the film. She has sung the song ‘Woh dekhnay mein‘ and a club song ‘Maddham Si Madhoshi‘ along with Ali for the film’s soundtrack. All the films that Aditi has worked in have shown her in subdued avatar, however, she looks ubercool and glamorous in London Paris New York (LPNY). Also releasing alongside LPNY is Mugdha Godse, Rajeev Khandelwal and Shreyas Talpade-starrer Will You Marry Me. The film is about three best friends who have one thing common; their love for their bachelorhood. However, they place a bet that whosoever will get married first lose a huge amount in shares that were contributed by all three friends. However, their lives take a turn when Nikhil (Muzzamil Ibrahim) decides to marry the love of his life, Anjali (Tripta Prashar). Even though Rajveer (Rajeev Khandelwal) and Aarav (Shreyas Talpade) are completely taken aback with the idea of their best friend getting married, they convince themselves to attend it in Dubai. During the wedding both Rajveer and Aarav fall for the same girl Sneha (Mugdha Godse), the brides best friend. Rest of the film talks about their tryst with love and relationship.

(Not Safe For Work: Artistic Nudity Ahead) Talking to illustrators and photographers you get to see their process from the inside — the tools and methods. The path followed to achieve the desired outcome. But there’s a major component that is rarely talked about. The model. The human figure is a major working part in most art — whether built from memory with an understanding of anatomy or drawn from a live model, the figure is a living thing beyond the canvas. I first saw Austin based model Sarah Pope in the photographs of highcastle. In highcastle’s world, she was an authentic face — real and humble. I started noticing her show up again and again in different roles. Playful. Coy. Youthful. Mature. That’s what a model does, transforms and bends to fill the role they’ve been hired to perform. The model performs an interesting function in art — the illustrator, photographer, sculpture, or painter makes the art and moves on, while the model remains the art after the film has been developed or paint has dried. It’s a tired definition, but the model acts as muse. Inspiration. Sarah was kind enough to chat with me about her work and how she approaches her role as ‘model.’ She gave a candid and honest look what it’s like to be in front of the camera. ET: Your portfolio spans a lot of looks – sweet and demure, youthful, mature, rebellious. A classic beauty. Is there an image of you that comes close to representing the real you? Or is the real thrill of modeling to be as far away from yourself as possible? SP: Many of my images show a side of me that is true to who I am. However, there are certain aspects of my personality that aren’t always on the surface for all to see on a daily basis. It is totally a thrill to have those traits and emotions surface and have them captured by another person. Modeling has given me the freedom to play out any role that I could see myself in. Like you said, some sweet, some rebellious. These are all different pieces of who I am. I just choose to expose them when I feel comfortable or see a purpose in doing so. One of the first photos I saw of you were with highcastle, the set ‘The Most Beautiful Thing in the World’ is pretty incredible. That series is what got me inspired to contact him and I bought the entire set. There’s an easiness to you in those photos – a great warmth that feels real. When starting a project like that, how much time is spent with the photographer discussing their vision? Do you just trust that he knows what he’s doing, or do you want to be involved? With highcastle, that was really my first time shooting with a professional. We met a few weeks prior to the shoot at a coffee shop. It was highcastle, a female photographer (CameraForAFace — who you should totally check out if you haven’t already. She and highcastle used to do a lot of work together here in Austin) and myself. They brought books and photos to give me an idea of their style. We discussed my limitations / what I was comfortable with as a model (which I ended up tossing to the wind in our shoots together) and theirs as photographers. As for the sets we shot, highcastle and CFAF we great at giving me direction, and I did well at picking up what they were throwing down. I trusted that they knew what they were doing and would get the shot. And we did, over and over again. That really set the standard for how I approach projects. I like to get an idea of what we want, but trust them to pull it out of me and capture it. Some of your photos with highcastle are quite daring. He’s a photographer with a very strong sense of voyeurism to his work, yet they’re still gentle. What does it take for you to be comfortable in a position like that? Is the tone on set determined by you the model or photographer? The tone is set by both of us. Highcastle came up with the setting and idea, while I brought the mood that I thought I would feel if I were actually in that scenario. To be honest, I didn’t really understand highcastle’s work at first. It has always been daring and wonderful — but the voyeurism you talk about, I didn’t even see that until much later after our working together. So it wasn’t hard to be comfortable. He and CFAF were both kind and gentle with me so the idea that we were creating something so taboo didn’t even cross my mind. There are a few photos we made that I, being who I am now, wouldn’t pose the same way or recreate certain themes with other photographers. That being said, my work with highcastle is some of my personal best. Many of our images are among my favorite I’ve ever created. You have photos like the ones with highcastle that feel like two friends quietly making art, and then there are the images with Mr. Glass, playfully sexual. The fashion shoots are perfectly lit and staged, designed to show off you and the clothes. How do you prepare for these shoots? Is there any mental preparedness? Do different shoots require different things from you? Different shoots definitely require different things from me, but it’s not that exhausting of a preparation. My prep is usually the same and is pretty simple. I usually get ready with hair, make-up and wardrobe, then (if I am allowed to smoke in my wardrobe) I go take some time alone and smoke a cigarette. I think about why I am here, what I’m doing and what I want to project to the lens. I don’t typically practice my posing or facial expressions — I just kind of go with it. Nudity in art gets talked about a lot. Sometimes that’s all an audience can see. Do you set boundaries with photographers when it comes to nudity? When I was a little younger, between 20 and 24, I didn’t have a lot of limits. In the very beginning, I didn’t want to shoot full nudes at all — but highcastle broke me out of that shell and after that I didn’t care. I knew (or at least thought I did) how to hold myself tastefully and just went with that. Over the past couple of years I have become a little more reserved. I no longer shoot nudes. This disappoints many artists and they always ask me Why not?’ It’s difficult to explain. It’s not judgey parents or a disapproving boyfriend that is ‘making me’ keep my clothes on. I just started to realize that it wasn’t progressing my work any further. Most photographers who were reaching out to me only wanted to shoot me nude. My nude photos always got the most hits or ‘likes’ and I started to feel like my naked body was all people wanted to see. I didn’t really like that. I’ll be honest, at first, I loved the attention. I didn’t feel like the bombshell Barbie in high school and so I loved feeling sexy and wanted after I grew into my body. But now I know that there is so much more to me than T&A. And I don’t mean to say that all the people viewing my work didn’t see the artistic beauty to it, but I was getting sick of only getting recognition from people that had no influence on my career, like my close friends and local peers in Austin. Also, there were many photographers who wanted to work with me who’s work I considered to be kind of trashy (to be nice about it). If they could think that I would like their work and be interested in joining their portfolio, how did they view me and my work? So now I keep my clothes on. It’s sad to see how little work I get offered now but that’s alright with me. I’ve grown into my skin and now choose to keep most of it to myself! 🙂 That’s a tough call to make, but I totally get where you’re coming from. Nudity gets attention, but you have decide if it’s the type of attention you want. When you first started modeling, you went by ‘Sadie.’ Was this a nickname you already went by or was it created specifically for your work as a model? A few people called me Sadie, but mostly my mother and only when she was trying to be cutesy. It’s a blend of my first and middle names, Sarah and Mercedes. I always thought Sarah, alone, was just too plain for me… and I also love ‘Sexy Sadie’ by The Beatles, so it seemed like the perfect alias for my modeling. Really, it all comes down to a love affair with my middle name and wanting people to know it. For a time, I was working with grade school kids and I was scared they would google my name and see a picture of me nude. To keep it under wraps, I didn’t advertise ‘Sadie’ to anyone, except photographers. I enjoyed having another name. It felt liberating at first, but that started to change after awhile. I begun to feel like I was having to hide something, which then made me think about what I was doing. Sadie was really just for my nude work. I started to think that if I didn’t want my real name attached to it, why was I doing it? Am I hiding? Am I ashamed? Why? Well, I soon realized that I wanted to make a change in the type of work I did and that’s when I dropped the alias and went back to Sarah Pope. Or Sarah Mercedes Pope if I felt like drawing it out. Sometimes when I look at a photograph I find that I stop and consider what part each person plays – the photographer controls the camera, lighting, and to some extent the environment. But the model controls their body, the figure, without the model we’d have a landscape. A still life. Your face and body, you — are what makes a photograph interesting, but at the same time you can’t mention a photograph without giving credit to the photographer who pulled it all together. It’s a unique relationship. One almost can’t do their job without the other. What do you think makes a photograph successful? Many things, but it’s also hard to draw those lines. Photography is an art, so what is success? I think it depends on what you’re looking for. I’ve had photos planned from lighting to pose that turned out awesome, we got exactly what we wanted, and then there are those beautiful mistakes that organically become the best pieces created by those involved. I personally feel successful when I’m given direction (which I almost always appreciate from photographers / directors) and I’m able to project the emotion we are trying to capture. I take pride in being a blank canvas for artists to paint their picture. I love becoming the art they see behind their eyes. You’ve worked with professional and amateur photographers. How do you choose what projects to take? When choosing who to work with I consider a few things. What does their previous work say to me? How do they portray their models? Do they have a good list of references I can contact? I usually ask what their ideas are for our shoot. These days, I only accept paid gigs so we have to be able to work that out. I like to discuss all of this out over coffee or tea (If they’re local, anyway) that way I can have a better handle on who I’m dealing with and that we are on the same page going into our work together. I’m much pickier with people that I don’t have the opportunity to meet in person before hand. I need to really dig your work and be able to talk to a few of your models you’ve worked with in the recent past. I’d love to give new artists the benefit of the doubt, but I can’t risk putting myself in a sketchy situation. I’ve heard too many horror stories to work with any Joe-Shmo who ‘likes my look.’ After I’ve checked out the photographer and it’s now time to consider the project, I like doing a lot of different shoots. I like fashion projects because they make me feel like a little dress-up doll for designer and stylists. I love abstract portrait projects that showcase elaborate make-up juxtaposed with a run-down setting or outfit. Pretty much anything that I find creative and beautiful. I realize that may sound vague, but I can be fickle and my tastes change as I grow. You act as a muse for a lot of different artists, whether you know it or not. Is that a strange position to be in? Painted and drawn by strangers? Have you done any modeling specifically for artists? It is a little strange, but also very beautiful. I love inspiring artist to create something with their hands. To sketch or mold or paint — it’s very personal. Almost like a therapy that you can choose to share with the world, or keep to yourself. Both are extremely liberating. I’ve modeled for life drawing classes in the past whose mediums ranged from charcoal to linoleum. You are actually the only artist I’ve seen paint an image inspired by me and I absolutely love what you’ve created. The woman in your painting is so strong! And at the same time so calm and at peace with herself. I enjoy photography immensely, but really appreciate art that is formed by hand. There is something so timeless about it. I feel like they will last forever. That reminds me of another reason I love modeling, (and this is probably just my ego talking, but) I feel like it immortalizes me to a certain extent. When I look at old photographs, paintings, drawings, and sculptures — I think about the model or person who inspired the piece. It blows me away to think that I am enjoying this person’s beauty or feeling their emotions sometimes hundred of years after they have lived and died. I guess this is how I’ll live forever. It’s cool to hear that you liked my painting of you, but I can’t help but feel that I can’t take credit — I used a photo from your session with highcastle as reference. I didn’t really bring much to it, besides re-creating it in a different medium. The strength and calm you see in the painting is there in you, in the photograph. Really, all I did was not fuck it up too much. When you look at a photograph of yourself, or a painting of yourself, do you feel an ownership of it? Is it easy to separate yourself from the work and enjoy it as an a member of the audience? It depends. There are times that all I can see is myself and I can be my own worst critic. But then there are some beautiful pieces where it doesn’t even feel like me. I am just an appreciative audience member. I like those photos the best. And it’s not because it’s so far out from who I truly am. I think the closer it is to showing my true self, the more I’m able to step back and appreciate the beauty of it. It’s easy to see a photo of one’s self and focus on the flaws, but it is such a wonderfully unique experience to see the whole picture and enjoy it without knit-picking it apart. Being a creative person, what’s next for? Are there any new adventures or creative outlets you’re exploring? I guess it comes down to this, does something have to be next? Is the life of a traveling model and muse give you what you need creatively? What’s next? Who knows? I’m always interested in discovering new outlets but I usually let them come to me. I am very creative but I feel like I work best in collaborations. I like when someone says to me, ‘Hey! I have this awesome idea I’d like to share with you! How can we take this and create something amazing?’ I rarely devise my own shoots. That might be my insecurities coming through, but I just love helping other people create their art. I don’t feel like there has to be anything specific coming next. Que sera, sera.

So for the past two nights I have had very good intentions of having a solid dinner. I keep telling Ryan, tonight we can have the steak tips, potatoes, and green beans. This all sounds fine and dandy until I get home and actually envision eating all of those items. So what have we ended up having instead you ask? Apple Jacks and Fruity Pebbles. Cereal seems to be about the only thing I can stomach at night. It's funny because during the day it is game on with anything in sight, but once I walk through my front door the baby says, "Let's keep the running joke going and have cereal...again". This baby I am thinking has Ryan's sense of humour and eating habits for that matter, since Ryan is actually content with having cereal for dinner. So ok Baby C, I know you're due in April, and very close to April 1st, but the steaks are really going to go bad if we don't eat them soon. How about a night off from cereal tonight? Judging by the wave of nausea I just received, I'm thinking it will be another Apple Jacks night tonight. Anyone want some steak tips...cheap?

Describing the Process I’m quite sure ethering isn’t a word but it describes the process that creates my Flights of Fancy. My son, Josh, is an artist. He’s also non-verbal and non-ambulatory and needs help in all areas of his physical life. He has cerebral palsy. His disability makes attaining his goals a challenge. Most of the time I don’t think about his disability. It’s simply a fact of life, but the challenge of helping him involves a lot of thought. I very seldom take credit for anything in his life. The struggle is his, and the successes are his also, but there is one area of his life that I am very proud of. What pleases me most about him is his attitude. He has far more drive than I ever dreamed of. He is ambitious, dedicated, and focused. Those are all qualities that are in short supply for myself. He is a dedicated member of the Ottawa Art League: http://ottawaartleague.org and he has his own website: ourhomestudio.com He possesses more business sense than I ever dreamed of. But the one thing he doesn’t have, can’t have, is productivity. He is a slow painter. A meticulous artist. It can take up to three months for him to complete a painting. For him to do art shows, he needed my help. I don’t consider my artwork to be as marketable as Joshua’s. I paint portraits. There’s not a big market for that and for Josh to be able to set up at shows and offer new work, I needed to figure out how to paint something besides a recognizable face. I didn’t have a clue how to paint without a photo reference to look at. So I decided to experiment. Using watercolor, I threw paint onto wet paper, then tilted and tipped, running the colors together until they created a pleasing pattern. Then I let it dry, set it up where I could look at it, and just lived with it for almost a week. Every day I’d rotate the paper to get a new angle on it. And slowly, an image started to emerge from the pattern. I started to see something in the paint. My theory was to let the paint tell me what the painting was going to be. Instead of me looking outward, I went inward. Something happened in that first Flight of Fancy. The act of going inward, of seeing the paint in a new way, impacted me in a very big way. It opened a door to creativity that I had never experienced before. It triggered a new phase of writing for me. With the painting came a poem. I had never written poetry in my life and suddenly, I’m being given words, sentences and entire poems that seem to come from the ‘ether’. My brain started feeding me images, ideas, and plots so quickly I had trouble keeping up. More exciting to me, and potentially more useful, it also triggered left brain activity allowing me to put together a business plan, and energized me to create an environment conducive to productivity. This page will be devoted to the works and words that have come to me from the ‘ether’. They come to me without rhyme or reason, but I consider each one a gift, and a blessing. I’d like to share them with you.

Color theory and color wheels can help you understand how to mix colors for your paintings. How to Mix Colors for Paintings The three basic, or primary, colors for painting are yellow, magenta and cyan. The yellow involved is a bright yellow color. Cyan is a blue color, and magenta is a deep pink color. You can't make these colors by mixing together other colors. When you add the three primary colors together, you will end up with black. Secondary colors are created by mixing primary colors. Secondary colors are the combination of red and blue to make violet, red and yellow to make orange and yellow and blue to make green. There are six tertiary colors. These colors are created by adding together primary and secondary colors, resulting in red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet and red-violet. A color wheel consists of the three primary colors placed equidistant away from each other. The secondary colors sit between the two primary colors that created them. Then, the tertiary colors are placed next to the secondary and primary colors that were used in the mix. One way to use a color wheel is to consider complementary colors. Complementary colors are directly opposite of each other on the color wheel and provide contrast. These colors will also help brighten each other. A variation on complementary colors is split complementary colors. Instead of using that red and green, you would use the green and the two colors next to the red on your wheel. Another approach is to use analogous colors, or three colors that are next to each other on the wheel. These colors will give your painting a harmonious appearance and "feel." When using analogous colors, pick one to dominate the area in which you are painting, another to support that color and the third to accent the other two. Triadic colors are three colors that are placed equidistant from each other. You will see that when you draw lines between the colors, the lines form a triangle. It is better to use one color as the dominate color and the other two colors as accents when you use triadic colors. You can also consider warm colors, which run from magenta to yellow. Cool colors range from green to violet. You can add dabs of cool colors to warms to cool them a bit and vice versa. Warm and cool colors next to each other also provide contrast. Expect to make mistakes as you mix colors. You will be tempted to try to break the rules just to see what the colors look like. Who knows? You may end up liking the result anyway. Knowing how to paint flames might mean the difference between owning a car and owning a hot rod. Learning how to oil paint isn't as painful as you've always assumed.

No word yet whether they’re going to clean, fumigate, or sterilize his office. Assuming that they just don’t evacuate it and clean out the fetid hole with a thermite grenade, of course. I’m not sure if they should go that far, though: it might destroy any evidence that might be buried at the bottom of the muck. As you might have guessed, I am not fond of Jim Moran. My morning is thus made: The 12-term Virginia lawmaker will announce his decision in a Wednesday morning statement obtained early by CQ Roll Call. Dear God, but the things this man got away with because he was a reliable progressive. Anti-Semitism. Corruption. Military-bashing. Violence towards children. Spousal abuse (and guess what about his kid?). He’s been on my list* for freaking years, and I look forward to crossing him off of it. With any luck, Moran will retire to a monastery and spend the rest of his life apologizing to God. He won’t, but he should. Moe Lane (crosspost) *Interestingly, after this cycle we’ll be down to Charlie Rangel, Alan Grayson, and Carol Shea-Porter on said list. Of them: Shea-Porter is the most likely (and is pretty likely) to lose; Rangel is the most likely to retire; and Grayson is a pathetic shell of his 2010 self anyway.

Last year, I created a project where my students made fake Facebook pages for historical figures. It worked out so well, I decided to share it as a Google Docs template. I've since been bombarded with share requests. Since it's a template, though, it doesn't really require sharing, so I decided to put together this tutorial to help people get started with it. If you try the project, I'd love to hear how it worked for you and your students. Please let me know in the comments!

ADVISORY OPINION NO. 161 The question is whether a hearings officer who is also chief of a division of a City agency which conducts public hearings may properly participate in a hearing when he is the spouse of one of the consultants retained by the applicant. The Ethics Commission's [Commission's] opinion is based on the following facts: 1. After a hearing had been scheduled and notice given in an application for a permit, the scheduled hearings officer informed the agency head that he was unable to be present and the subject hearings officer was asked to assist. 2. Under the established procedures the public hearings officer acts only as a moderator to ensure the orderly presentation of all public testimony concerning the application at issue. The officer makes no substantive decisions regarding the merits of the application nor does the officer make any recommendations concerning the merits of the application. It is the duty of the hearings officer only to transmit information. 3. The applicant at the hearing in question retains several consultants, only one of whom is the spouse of the hearings officer. 4. The hearings officer's spouse is an engineer employed by the applicant to work under supervision in preparing preliminary design plans for specific projects. The spouse was not assigned to and did not work on the project under consideration by the City agency. 5. The applicant did testify at the public hearing moderated by the subject hearings officer in favor of the application. The spouse of the hearings officer was not present. As head of a City agency division the hearings officer must conform to standards of conduct required of all officers as defined by Revised Charter of Honolulu 1973 (1983 Ed.) [RCH] Article XIII, Section 13-101.4(d), which states: 4. Except as otherwise provided in this charter, the term 'officer' shall include the following: . . . . (d) The first deputy or a division chief appointed by the administrative head of any agency of the city. The relevant standards of conduct are set out in RCH Article XI and Revised Ordinances of Honolulu 1978 [ROH] Chapter 6, Article 1. In particular, RCH Section 11-102.3 states: No elected or appointed officer or employee shall: . . . . 3. Engage in any business transaction or activity or have a financial interest, direct or indirect, which is incompatible with the proper discharge of his official duties or which may tend to impair his independence of judgment in the performance of his official duties. RCH Section 11-104 states: Section 11-104. Fair and Equal Treatment -- No elected or appointed officer or employee shall use his official position to secure or grant special consideration, treatment, advantage, privilege or exemption to himself or any person beyond that which is available to every other person. ROH Section 6-1.2(1) provides: Section 6-1.2. Additional Standards of Conduct. No officer or employee of the City, except as hereinafter provided shall: (1) Participate, as an agent or representative of a City agency, in any official action directly affecting a business or matter in which (A) he has a substantial financial interest; or (B) by or for which a firm of which he is a member, an associate, or an employee has been engaged as a legal counsel or advisor or consultant or representative in a matter directly related to such action; provided that a councilman is not precluded from voting on such matter before the Council so long as a written disclosure has been made in the event there is a conflict of interest involving this subsection and relating to such matter. The subject hearings officer has a financial interest in the applicant's business by reason of his spouse's employment. The hearings officer filed a disclosure of financial interest, as required by ROH, Section 6-1.4(a)(1), with the Commission indicating his spouse's employment. However, for the following reasons, the Commission finds there is no conflict of interest or violation of the standards of conduct involved in this case: 1. The spouse of the hearings officer works under another engineering supervisor. Thus, his spouse makes no final decisions concerning any designs prepared by the applicant. 2. In any case, his spouse was not involved in preparing designs for this application. His spouse's employment by the applicant does not depend on whether the present application is granted. 4. The hearings officer had no decision-making authority in connection with the applicant's request for a permit. Neither was he in a position to influence the outcome of the hearing, as his official duty was to make sure everyone who wished to present testimony had the opportunity to do so. In fact, at the hearing, he extended the opportunity to present testimony to anyone in the room whether or not they had made an official prior request to do so. Thus, the hearings officer did not use his official position to secure or grant special consideration, treatment, advantage, privilege or exemption to himself or any person beyond that which is available to every other person. In addition, the hearings officer had fully complied with the requirements of RCH Section 11-103 and ROH Section 6-1.4. Neither the proper discharge of the hearings officer's official duties nor his independence of judgment in the performance of his official duties was impaired by his acting as moderator at the public hearing on the application for a permit. Date: April 14, 1986 GILBERT A. GIMA Chair, Ethics Commission

Sonic's "three fucking hours", which as Bog has stated is actually more like 2 hours and 40 minutes, absolutely breezes by. I do have to agree with him on one point, though: Mary-Louise Parker took the rather thankless role of Jesse's wife and created a piercing emblem of devastation in her final scenes. Paul Schnieder (hapless and adorable in The Family Stone and Lars and the Real Girl, btw) was fabulous here and maintained an indelible impression right from his first appearance on-screen. And there simply aren't enough superlatives to describe Casey Affleck's performance in this film. It was just stunning. How he lost out on awards for this performance, whatever category he was nominated in, is mind-boggling. I'm still processing. Why did it take me so long to see this film? Sonic, you get the award for the most self-referential (and self-indulgent) review of a movie this year. Edited By flipp525 on 1237509266

Another year will bring more exploration and discoveries of formations that took many years to form in a cave near Fort Stanton. Lynda Sánchez, public outreach liaison for the Fort Stanton Cave Study Project, said the cave, "exhibits hundreds, if not thousands of stalactites formed over thousands of years. Sanchez pointed to an area of the cave called "Harmony Hall" as particularly appropriate for the holiday season. Formations, called soda straws, in this section, "resonate as if in special orchestrated symphonic mode," she said. "What the New Year will bring to the resolute and undaunted "subternauts" and their continued exploration of Snowy River and other parts of Fort Stanton Cave remains an exciting question mark," she said. Sanchez compared exploration of the underground passages with space exploration. "These men and women could be considered much like our own NASA astronauts, plowing ahead into the unknown," she said. "At this moment in time the most remote place on earth is (Fort Stanton Cave), right now. The longest formation or speleothem also is on record and that is, of course, the fascinating and ever winding Snowy River Calcite formation." For more information about the project, contact Sánchez at 575-653-4821 or check out the website at fscsp.org.

"Marines In Review" - Radio Show 1940-'50s.... by Dick Gaines I have written before on my websites referring to the old radio show called "Marines In Review!" Back in the late '40s and early '50s, it came over the radio on Sunday afternoons, broadcast from Camp Joseph H. Pendleton, Oceanside, California. I remember making it a point, as a young man at that time, to listen to that show each Sunday afternoon whenever I could. It was a 1/2 hour show, as I recall, and it had news and articles regarding the Marine Corps--there was one regular feature of the show called, "The Old Gunny Sez!" where the old gunny was always consulted as the resident expert on some topic or other of various Marine Corps subjects that always came up. In 1952, as soon as I turned 17 years old, I joined the Marine Corps. After boot camp at Parris Island, I received orders reading "Report to: Marine Barracks, Camp Joseph H. Pendleton, Oceanside, California." I reported in August of that year. I was surprised to find, when I went to the #12 area theatre one night (each area at Pendleton then had its own area PX, theatre, etc., in those days) that the 'Marines In Review' radio show was being broadcast/recorded from that theatre's stage prior to the movie that nite, as was done each week. I watched there such as movie actor John Hodiak, and his wife, Anne Baxter, who had just finished filming the movie, Battle Zone, there at Camp Pendleton, sat in the audience next to me. I also saw Chesty Puller on the same show on another occasion. I was also surprised to see that "the old gunny" turned out to be a young Pfc or Corporal reading the lines from a script. I have never seen anything on the Internet, or in books for that matter,regarding that old Marines radio show in all these years. But just lately, I found some mention of it on the China Marines Band webite, which contains some information, photos, etc. regarding that show. GySgt USMC (Ret.)

My thanx, Dennis, for your e-mail to me on this--much appreciated! From: "The Zartmans" Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2004 16:40:12 -0500 (EST) Subject: Marines in Review Enjoyed your piece on the radio show "Marines in Review". In late 1955 I appeared in several of the broadcasts, most notably the USMC birthday show where I played two parts in the dramatic portion of the program. I was both the young Marine who was shown around heaven and the gnarled old salt who was the tour guide. As you know, the show was broadcast on sundays but taped before then prior to the showing of the movie. ABC sent a director from Los Angeles along with the recording engineer. The rest of those on the program were all Marines. At the time I was stationed just down the road at MP battalion and the work on "Marines in Review" was just a fun part-time thing I did. I did maybe three or four shows and then gave it up for it was time to get ready for discharge.

Hundreds of Muslims on Thursday held protests against an anti-Islam video and tried to march to the American Center in Kolkata, which closed down for the second half of the day. The protestors, belonging to Muslim organisations, including the All-Bengal Minorities Youth Federation, demanding an apology from the US, broke barricades and tried to approach the highly-fortified American Centre on Chowringee in central Kolkata, but were stopped some distance away, police sources said. Joint Commissioner of Police (Headquarters) Javed Shamim, told reporters that a 1000-1500 strong force was deployed in the area and was successful in preventing the protestors from reaching the American consulate office. Police sources said an estimated 20,000-25,000 people from the minority community gathered in between Esplanade and Chowringhee to protest against video which was available on the internet. There was no violence during the protest, Shamim said. Apprehending that the situation might turn violent the American Centre closed down in the second half of day, officials said. The protest grid-locked traffic bumper-to-bumper on Chowringhee and C R avenue in central Kolkata and had a ripple effect elsewhere, including the south and the north in the metropolis. The video has sparked anti-US protests across the Muslim world, including in countries like Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Tunisia, Sudan and Afghanistan.
