When, you might guess he was breakdancing or in a footwork battle, not tap dancing.
“We don’t really do proscenium performances,” Berg says about the stance that Subject:Matter, his company, has adopted on formal shows. “Nothing we make is appropriate or reads on a proscenium stage. It’s about the interaction … tap dancing is half dance and half music, both of which are equally as important. Many would argue that the music half is more important.”
His training began in “one of those strip mall, Dolly Dinkle sort of studios” in the suburbs outside Chicago. Eventually he became a pre-professional at the Joffrey Academy of Dance, home to the Joffrey Ballet, and a member of the MADD Rhythms tap company before graduating high school and moving to Boston to continue his education at Boston Conservatory.
What Berg couldn’t have anticipated was the “very unique flavor” of tap dancing awaiting him in Somerville, stemming from fellow Chicagoan-turned-Bostonian tap dancer Leon Collins. Following tap dance’s resurgence through the ’70s, Collins moved his studio to Brookline and taught a new generation his signature Routines, key exercises for strengthening tap dance technique, until his death in 1985. Three of Collins’s students, Dianne Walker, Pamela Raff, and C.B. Hetherington, continued educating dancers in his style.
“The school burned down, but the community really stuck together,” Berg says. “What you have now is a community that’s older and has other jobs, but also a connection with all the people, that the younger people in the tap dance community look up to.”
Tap dance in Somerville has found a new home at the Deborah Mason School of Dance, Berg says, where Walker teaches the Routines on Thursdays nights. Berg says this is “the perfect time to be here as a tap dancer.”
He strives to make dance more inclusive through Subject:Matter. The company breaks down dated conventions surrounding gender and audience dynamics within the dance world with shows that incorporate improvisation and break the boundary between the performer and the audience.
As the company works on an evening-length piece based on the Herbie Hancock soundtrack for the 1966 film “Blow Up,” Berg’s direction is a warm, “throw it at the wall and see what sticks” style that’s already carved its own niche in the local dance scene.
“I’ve had a lot of experiences with directors, especially in the ballet world, that are just awful—verbally and emotionally abusive, really manipulative, just a lot of things inside the world of concert dance that make you feel like you’re really worthless,” Berg says. “Tap dance is a form that is so based on the individual. Everyone has their technical approach, everyone sort of looks a little different when they’re doing it, and that’s OK!”

Executive Golfers Chase Corporate Masters Glory
South Africa’s top business golfers are once again lining up for the chance to be crowned the corporate champions of South Africa. They will compete in the second Corporate Masters presented by Sun International and SEACOM at Sun City from 5-8 August, 2018.
Following the success of the inaugural Corporate Masters presented by Sun International and SEACOM at Sun City last year, the second edition of this tournament will feature an increased field of business golfers as well as several other enhancements that are already making it the premier corporate golf event in the country.
“Last year was great for the first event, but this year we plan to take it to another level. We’re committed to growing this tournament and to supporting it for many years to come. Our whole growth strategy for this event is focused on making this the tournament for corporate golfers. We’ve seen in our own company that much of our business is based on relationships, so we know the value that golf brings to develop and mould relationships, and of events such as the Corporate Masters,” said Byron Clatterbuck, Chief Executive Officer of SEACOM.
“We want the leaders of industry participating. Golf is a great sport for this kind of competition, as it allows participants of all skill levels to compete head-to-head. And that’s our vision for this event – to grow it into a world-class corporate tournament.”
Companies are represented by teams of two golfers competing in a 36-hole Stableford Points competition at Sun City’s two championship layouts in the Gary Player Country Club and the Lost City Golf Course. The Corporate Masters has been sanctioned by Golf RSA and is run according to the same professional standards as the major professional and amateur golf tournaments that have been hosted at Sun City for several decades.
According to Clatterbuck, the feedback from the corporate teams who participated in the inaugural tournament last year was extremely positive and has also highlighted other areas where the event can improve and grow.
“The golfers enjoyed the fact that it was played over two days so it wasn’t too long. And the fact that it was played at Sun City was also a positive because they felt they had the opportunity to be off-site away from the daily grind, and have some time to network with each other. There are a few elements we want to sharpen up for the second tournament, but overall it was a great start. SEACOM has a lot of customers who love golf and we’re a golf-orientated company ourselves. So this event fits our own plans as a growing business wanting to position ourselves and our services more strongly in this space.”
Grant Parker, the GM of SEACOM Business SA at SEACOM, said they will be introducing several new elements to this year’s tournament.
“We’re looking at growing the field this year, and this year all participating golfers will have to have a registered handicap as part of the process of making this as professional a tournament as top business people would expect.
“We also want to have a base camp at the Gary Player Country Club which is the gathering point after every round to encourage more social interaction and networking. And we’re looking at the possibility of a golf simulator and a golf village of sorts.”
Rob Collins, the Chief Strategy and Operations Officer for Sun International, said they were delighted with the success of the inaugural tournament and are equally committed to ensuring its growth as the major corporate golf tournament for South African business.
“We were really excited about it when the concept was first presented to us and the inaugural event last year was very successful. We learnt a few lessons to build on and as such are very excited about this year’s tournament.
“We’re committed to growing the event and to improving it because it supports our positioning within South African golf. Sun International has taken wonderful strides in becoming more profiled and doing a lot more in South African golf, and we’re very happy with our golf strategy at the moment.”

Our Kenmore refrigerator broke down. A service appointment was made and the date and time confirmed by Sears.
There was a week-long wait for the repairman. No repairman showed up for the appointment. During a call to the Service Department I was told that Sears didn't have enough repairmen. They could make a new appointment but no repairman could come in less than a week.
There wasn't a guarantee that one would come.
At no time prior to the iniitially scheduled appointment did Sears call to say that they wouldn't make their confirmed appointment. Sears had a week to call me. They could have called on the day of the appointment, but didn't.
Sears at one time was the "gold standard" for goods and service. Sears repair service should definitely be avoided.
Review about: Sears Repair.
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
Monetary Loss: $500.

Active Sefton in partnership with Sport England are looking at improving Sefton’s swimming offer. We will be looking at our existing swimming pools (Bootle Leisure Centre, Meadows and Dunes Splashworld) with a view to improving facilities and activities, in order to increase participation across all ages and abilities.
Sefton are one of 12 Local Authorities across the country to be allocated funding to make such changes as part of a Sport England Pilot. Key to this is extensive consultation with local residents (user and non-users) which will enable us to collate information and opinion regarding the current services around swimming in Sefton and improvements that could be made. The outcome of the consultation will influence Sport England funding which will enable us to potentially renovate existing facilities and revamp current and new services.
The aim is to gain feedback regarding the Councils current swimming provision and insight into what would attract current non users into Active Sefton facilities.
The results from this consultation will enable Active Sefton to prioritise areas for improvement and develop new opportunities.
Aims:
- To improve the existing swimming offer (both facilities and programmes)
- To attract more people to participate in swimming activities
- To increase the Health & Wellbeing of residents
All questionnaires will be anonymous – except for those who want to take part in further focus groups. No information will be disclosed to others outside of those involved in the project. No personal details will be disclosed as part of the results and subsequent funding bid to Sport England.
Full details of the consultation and subsequent swimming activity will be shared and a full marketing and communications plan will be implemented.

This code base will perform a series of learning experiments, and associated postprocessing, to produce the results shown in figure 7 of the paper [1]. The code supports other learning paradigms than those reported in the paper, but should be 'good to go', as supplied, with the published paradigm.
The code was originally written for batch processing on clusters using the Matlab Distributed Compute Engine (DCE) and associated toolbox; hence there are several levels of wrapping around the main learning code file - STDE_Shen_batch.m - to support this. The rationale here was to speed up the simulation of a set of learning experiments, with different initial synaptic conductances, and report averages (10 runs were used in Fig 7).
However, we assume most people won't be using the DCE...
To do a single experiment, it is best to proceed as follows:
(i) Run the top level script make_msns_in_channel.m with one of N_msns_D1, N_msns_D2 set to 1 (These are two parameters in the script, which is currently set to use a single D1 MSN). Using this script ensures a correct call to the parameter construction function make_stde_pars.m, which returns a cell-array of parameter structures called all_pars. [The final line of make_msns_in_channel.m (currently commented out) calls the helper function do_batch.m which, in turn, calls STDE_Shen_batch.m. To use the DCE, uncomment this line]
(ii) Call STDE_Shen_batch.m with the individual components (structures) of all_pars generated in (i).
This will produce a results1.mat file which can be examined using the postprocessing tools described below.
Postprocessing
(a) To view the spike response profile (as in Figs 7A,D of [1]) run the function find_mean_spikes.m
Again, this was crafted with batch processing in mind and it assumes a set of results files results1.mat, results2.mat... For one run, put one of its paramters D1_xpts, D2_xpts to 1 , and the other to zero (according which type was run in (i) above). The function parameter, markers, is a vector of boundary trials between phases. It should reflect the values in the array paramter trial_counts, defined in make_msns_in_channel. Thus, using the values currently there, the markers vector would be set to [15, 55, 85, 115, 155].
(b) To see synaptic conductances in a view similar to that in Figs 7B,E, use find_mean_gs.m. For one experiment, xpt_nos will be 1.
(c) To see synaptic conductances in a view similar to that in Figs 7C,F, use find_mean_gs_overall.m. Again, for one experiment, xpt_nos will just be 1.

New art teacher hopes to bring creativity to Sevier
NEW ART TEACHER. Hilton helps a student with artwork.
November 17, 2016
Filed under Profiles, Showcase, Student Life
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Hunter Hilton is the new art teacher at John Sevier Middle School. He has replaced Minta Fannon, who retired last school year.
This is Hilton’s second year teaching. Last year, Hilton taught at a high school in North Carolina. He got his art degree from East Tennessee State University.
“I’ve always loved art,” he said. “I wanted to share my passion with others in hopes that they may find a way to express themselves through art.”
Even in his free time, Hilton spends a lot of time on art.
“It sounds a little lame, but I do what I do at school,” he said. “I like to draw, paint, and sculpt. I also like spending time with my family and friends. Some of my other big hobbies are listening to music and playing video games.”
If he wasn’t a teacher, Hilton would maybe work in a gallery, in graphic design, or maybe be a concept artist for video games. He believes teaching art is the perfect job for anybody wants to share their enthusiasm for art.
“You get to be surrounded by art all day long,” he said.
Although he has not been a teacher long, he already has a favorite moment from his teaching career.
“If I had to say one, it is definitely when I competed in lip-sync battle with two of my students when I taught high school,” he said. “I got to dance around, act goofy, and make students laugh. It was a 16 team competition, and we came in first. My dance moves became a school-wide phenomenon.”
His music collection is also unusual.
“I love early 90s Hip-hop,” Hilton said. “I have a pretty considerable record collection from that era of music, and I always love to learn more about it. There were some really positive artists in that genre and time, and I think hip-hop these days has strayed away from that positive message.”
Hilton also recently got married.
“My wife is great,” he said. “She has a great sense of humor, and we are always laughing together. She’s smart, hardworking, and beautiful. I’m definitely one lucky guy. She won’t like me saying this, but she likes and knows a lot about anime. However, she probably wouldn’t readily admit it.”
Teaching art in middle school means that Hilton teaches about many different art topics. Teaching students how to draw faces is his favorite skill to teach.
“After students learn how to draw a face, something clicks and they really begin to be able to draw well,” he said.
His least favorite thing is one-point perspective. It’s important to know, because it improves an artist’s sense of how things exist in three-dimensional space, but it isn’t very interesting to him.
Hilton enjoys teaching middle school students, even though older kids have a more sense of humor and can be more fun to be around. He believes younger kids have a more vivid imagination so they try new things easier than older kids.
Hilton has several favorite artists.
“Most of my favorites are illustrators,” he said. “I would say James Jarvis. He’s an illustrator from the United Kingdom who does some great minimalistic illustrations. Another is named Scott C. He’s a concept artist for Double Fine Productions, which is a video game company.”
Hilton has some advice for the students of John Sevier Middle School.
“Be kind,” he said. “Even if someone is being mean or disrespectful, meet negativity with positivity. It’s easy to be negative. Once you start being positive and changing your outlook on a day to day basis, you’ll see your life change in so many great ways. Everyone has problems, but not everyone has someone to lift them up. Be the person that people seek for positive input.”.

A biographical novel about the last years of Arthur Schnitzler's life
He is at the peak of his fame. His works are in high demand, Hollywood is courting him, and women adore him even in the advanced years of his life. By summer 1928 Arthur Schnitzler has in effect achieved everything. But then his daughter Lili commits suicide when she is only 18, and with her Schnitzler loses the person who was remarkably close to him. What still remains for him in life is his attraction for women, and women have always been important for him. Love is his support and at the same time consternates him and is with him when he takes his last breath.
Volker Hage has closely examined Schnitzler's diaries and those of his daughter, along with numerous contemporary documents. His biographical novel draws an intimate portrait of this successful writer, whose final years were marked by feelings of insecurity and contradictory emotions: by the happiness of a late love and also a deep melancholy. Volker Hage has also created a panorama of Vienna on the eve of the takeover of power by the Nazis.

GALVESTON – Galveston resident Mark Edinburgh claims Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc. and Benson-Sabin Partners Ltd. sold him a defective pickup truck more than two years ago, recent court documents say.
A lawsuit filed May 17 in Galveston County District Court shows Edinburgh purchased a 2008 Toyota Tundra from Star Toyota in League City on Dec. 8, 2008, for approximately $35,300 only to experience numerous problems with the vehicle.
The suit says the Tundra has encountered an excessive number of defects, including but not limited to interior trim, cabin noise, rear end noise and the differential carrier assembly.
"The vehicle has been in the shop at least eight times for repairs and spent in excess of 20 days in the shop," the original petition states. "The vehicle still has defects."
The suit additionally argues that "the limited remedies in the manufacturer's warranties failed of its essential purpose and deprived the plaintiff of the substantial value of the bargain because the defendants failed to correct the defects within a reasonable amount of time."
Edinburgh insists he has performed all things agreed to and required of them under the purchase agreement and warranty.
He consequently sues for lost of use, cost of repair and out-of-pocket expenses and attorney's fees.
Attorney Craig M. Patrick of Dallas is representing the plaintiff, and Galveston County 405th District Court Judge Wayne Mallia is presiding over the case.
Case No. 11-cv-0798

This week I was invited to a private tasting.
The 2017 Viña Galvana (85% Palomino Fino and 15% Muscat) is a fresh, light wine with a bright pale gold colour and a touch of fruitiness, and pairs well with fish and seafood. Perfect for the summer weather. Cinta Romero and her team at La Cochera del Abuelo, who also provided a light post-cata lunch. Thanks to everyone who helped organise this very pleasant event.

Miami man gets healthy drinking a different kind of draft, now brews and sells it
The beer brewery business has been thriving with microbreweries springing up all over Miami and Broward. Michael Chow and his business partner, Ariel Pinho, decided to join the beverage market, but by selling a different drink on draft.
Like many Americans, Chow was working long hours and traveling often for a software company he helped manage. Eventually, neglecting his diet and making poor eating choices caught up with him and his digestive system suffered.
“I was super stressed out with shipping deadlines. My mom’s a nutritionist so I’ve always been eating clean and super health conscious, but when you’re stuck on the road or hotel room and you’re working around the clock you don’t have access necessarily to the right type of nutrients at the right time,” Chow said.
He underwent different procedures and tested out different diets seeking a solution.
“I was having all sorts of stomach pains and digestive issues. I thought I had an ulcer. I got checked out, went to the GI, and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. Enough is enough I thought.”
Chow, who was living in New York at the time, decided to embrace the holistic lifestyle. One day after his morning yoga, he discovered kombucha on draft while at his regular breakfast spot.
For him, the catch was introducing probiotics into his diet while avoiding dairy.
“I ended up trying 15 different flavors. I became friends with the guy behind the bar, sort of like your daytime bartender. He would always ask how the flavors tasted and it was just a really cool conversation,” Chow said. “I was just there in my mornings having my healthy meal. And instead of just sitting there having my healthy meal, I could have a beverage and have a relationship with this guy during the day which was really interesting.”
Kombucha is a vinegar-based drink produced by fermenting sweet tea with “SCOBY,” the acronym for Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast, and has been used by people looking to introduce probiotics into their diet as an alternative to diary or lactose-based products.
Probiotics are the healthy bacteria that help balance out the bad bacteria in your stomach and help in aiding digestive ailments such as diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and skin conditions such as eczema.
After a year-and-a-half of drinking commercial kombucha and implementing a healthy lifestyle, Chow’s health improved, but the cost hurt his pocketbook. What stuck with Chow was the way people related food to relationships and he wanted to come up with the equivalent of beer or coffee, offering a healthy beverage as another option. Putting his biochemistry background to use, he decided to brew at home.
“The reason why Starbucks is so successful is because they give people a place to be. The current setup is, ‘Hey, let’s go grab a beer or grab some coffee,’ but I can’t do four coffee meetings back to back,” said Chow. “I wasn’t drinking at the time and I was sitting there thinking where can I go to have a drink? People are always trying to get a beer or a drink and go somewhere so I was trying to find a healthy alternative at places and be able to build a community around it.”
For the last year, Chow and Pinho have been brewing 20 gallons of kombucha a week at Hidden Kitchen in Miami Beach, and wholesale to various retailers at the point of consumption.
Now, they have five places serving their two flavors, Ginger Lemon and Hibiscus, which include locally sourced teas and honey, on draft kegerators including Love Life Wellness Center in Wynwood, House of Movement in Brickell and Cold Pressed Raw in North Miami Beach. They also sell glass bottles at the locations, which people can refill to enjoy at home.
The costs vary by retailer, but average about $5 per serving or about $20-$25 per bottle.
Chow and Pinho are working on expanding their business so more people can enjoy kombucha and make it a part of their daily lives without having to compromise their budget.
“If you do it the right way, there’s a very positive and natural way that you can use biology and biochemistry to improve lives,” Chow said. “That’s the vision.

Elmiger, Dorothee (2010), Einladung an die Waghalsigen, Dumont
ISBN 9-783832-161941
[translated into English by Katy Derbyshire:
Elmiger, Dorothee (2011), Invitation To The Bold Of Heart, Seagull Press
ISBN 978-0-85742-019-0
This is a curious little book. Dorothee Elmiger’s debut novel Einladung an die Waghalsigen, translated by Katy Derbyshire as Invitation To The Bold Of Heart, is often billed as “postapocalyptic” and many German critics have expressed irritation at its constructed form, an irritation that I think is gendered. Elmiger’s novel sits somewhere between modernism and postmodernism, realism and metatextualism. It uses the tropes of exploration and of rugged reality in the same way postmodern novelists have done for a long time. But she does it without being male. One reads in review after review, the disappointment over the lack of realism, authenticity, of felt, emotional truth. A critic called it “arrogant” – but unless, like Gore Vidal, they reject postmodern literature out of hand, there is no obvious reason to be hostile to this book. Because whatever you might think of what it does, it does what it does with extraordinary skill. Sure, you can see the MLA-schooled writer here, you can see the excitement of a young novelist trying out a new idea, playing with literature, tradition and form, and not always hitting the mark. But of all the authors who graduated from Leipzig and Hildesheim, the awful German MFA mills, Elmiger’s book actually feels like she has something to say. There is a forcefulness to the book that dives deep into our shared sense of cultural heritage, and what it is lacking in emotional immediacy, the novel replaces with the emotional repositories of music, childhood and literary classics. This is on the surface a novel about a vanishing village in the mining areas of West Germany, but it is also a novel about loneliness and selfhood, about the way we as readers and writers need to connect – to reconnect – to a world sometimes burning up around us. And literature is an extraordinary way to do this. The writing is simple and direct, but it doesn’t slip into the shoddiness of style that is apparently taught in Hildesheim and Leipzig as a stand-in for simplicity and directness (see Hischmann, Fabian). Elmiger’s style is always weighed and exact, carefully shaped and directed. The titular invitation doesn’t come until the end of the book, but in a way the whole book is an invitation: to all of us. I’m glad Katy Derbyshire (whose taste in picking translations has to be commended. I already reviewed Inka Parei’s The Shadow-Boxing Woman on this blog, also a Derbyshire translation) accepted the invitation and translated the novel, a mere year after the original translation.
The book’s plot – itself a metatextual device – is swallowed by the many textual references (listed in the appendix), allusions and tricks the text plays with its readers. Like many German writers in the 2010s, Elmiger opts for an apocalyptic scenario (the list of writers to choose a science fictional/postapocalyptic setting includes young writers like Elmiger and Leif Randt, as well as stalwarts of German literature like Jirgl and Georg Klein.), but the predominant, I think, reference for the novel is one not named in its appendix: Arno Schmidt’s Nobodaddy trilogy. Like Schmidt, Elmiger’s scenario draws on the imagery and tropes of the postapocalypse, all while feeding it with elements of the real: there’s a true sense of place, in Schmidt’s case, the Lüneburger Heide specifically, in Elmiger’s case a sense of the Ruhrgebiet, the vast mining areas along the river Ruhr, comparable maybe to England’s north, from Newcastle to Manchester. The Ruhr area is so undertunneled with mining that occasionally streets will collapse. The novel is set in a village devasted by a fire where a coal seam underground has started burning and the burning has started affecting aboveground life. As a Goethe quote in the novel shows, this is not a fantastical invention, this sort of thing can happen – at the same time, Elmiger does not examine a specific event in the Ruhr area (as far as I can tell). Instead, she assembles a dusty, dirty, firm sense of an abandoned village in the area, affected by some real event. The postapocalyptic feeling is fueled by the strange sounding local catastrophe, but also by the images of an industrialized area that’s largely empty of people. There are still normal people beyond this particular village, normal life, but in this village, the narrator, her sister, and some occasional strangers are the only ones left. And this is important: postapocalyptic literature is often too liberal in deploying that metaphor to do a minor point. Elmiger by contrast is exceptionally precise: the very real abandonment of old industrial areas, abandoned by young men, by companies, and by the benevolent hand of the state is recreated here in miniature format. The book’s final invitation for the bold to come back, to join the sisters on their fantastical discovery of an underground river, in a way it is a call against the way capitalism has chewed up and abandoned the working class of vast areas – again, people living in the north of England will understand which social stratum I am referring to.
Another writer whose presence I feel in this book (and maybe that’s just because I am currently re-reading his work) is Andreas Neumeister. This writer, as of yet untranslated into English, is one of the few living German masters of prose, as in, writers from Germany, not writers writing in German. The deplorable fact that Neumeister has not won the Büchnerpreis yet, but Jan Wagner, the Billy Collins of contemporary German poetry, has, explains much about this country’s literary culture. Neumeister’s novels show a steady development towards a sense of how speech and language shapes our perceptions of places and memory in a way that I should write about at length some other time. When I was reading Elmiger’s novel, I got a sense of a similar investment in reality, language and literature from her. Neumeister uses music in interesting ways, employing both cultural connotations and rhythmical implications in his work, and Elmiger, though to a much less experimental and forceful degree, also uses music in her references (she quotes from Godspeed! You Black Emperor) and rhythms. That said, with Neumeister as with Schmidt, there’s always a connection of writer and place. But Dorothee Elmiger was born in a rural part of Switzerland. She’s not from the Ruhr area – and the sense of dedication to and evocation of a specific place isn’t part of an authentic discourse about a specific home. On the contrary: what we encounter is a discourse about home itself. Elmiger draws in her quotes from 19th century ethnologists to evoke a specific view of reality, turning the imperialist gaze of the profession to a piece of European heartland. The search for a secret river interiorizes the mythological narratives of 19th century imperialism without actually needing to overtly interrogate that tradition. Much of what she uses, even when she uses well known texts, relies on us understanding the texts immediately, implicitly. She marks quotes in the text, but some of the sources are obscure and she doesn’t offer a source for each quote (there’s a list of texts in the appendix, but no correlation of quotes and text). What she wants us to see, instead, is what musical and cultural quality each quote adds to the text, with its unique rhythms. We can sort of tell where everything is from, even if we cannot pinpoint the exact source. Elmiger is appealing to our cultural understanding, while making this method explicit in the marking the quotes as quotes.
Let me, finally, return to the question of autobiography and authenticity. I’m not doing this because I have a personal obsession with the topic – it’s because so much of the text is artfully woven around these questions. I just said that sources are marked but not named – that is true except for a small handful of exceptions, three of which are the epigraphs to the novel. Of those three, the longest is from Goethe’s Dichtung und Wahrheit. Now, if you followed me so far, you might think it’s cited here because of the book’s central position in the canon of the classics of autobiographical literature – more than that: Dichtung und Wahrheit moves away from the immediate personal memory as the sole source for autobiography. Goethe in fact makes heavy use of other people’s statements and in his time, the book was criticized by some as too artificial. But the quote in the epigraph isn’t about life writing at all: it describes a coal seam burning and affecting life aboveground. The very “postapocalyptic” description of life in the novel is taken from this classic of autobiography, allowing Elmiger, as the author, to create a complex building of references, and hide herself and her remarkable voice in between the walls. It is, ultimately, the urgency that fuels the eponymous invitation, that makes the book worth reading, that makes it more than an idle game of postmodern chess. Indeed, another reference of the book, marked but not annotated, is from Ferdinand Bruckner’s play “Krankheit der Jugend” (“The Sickness of Youth”) – the play dates back to 1926, but its searing evocation of young love and desperation leads to occasional revivals on German stages. A character in it says “you either become a part of the bourgeoisie or you commit suicide.” This tension, between becoming part of the adult world as it is constituted by capitalism (Elmiger also quotes Engels), and of giving up on life, voluntarily leaving this world, is, in a way, also felt in this book. Trying to fight for their reality, their place, the characters of the novel marshal the magic of myth, of books, of our shared magical memory to save their village, but also to save them. A task that requires, truly, bold.

PORTFOLIO: EDUCATION: Bachelor: Moody Bible Institute GPA: 3.8 EXPERIENCES: 1. Center for Urban Teaching (CfUT): Center for Urban Teaching (for which I intern) holds the mission and reputation of identifying, preparing and supporting high-performing teachers. I started interning with them last year and was promoted to the Third Tier. Its training touches (but not limited to) classroom management and joy factors, building relationship with students and parents, development stages, different kinds of learning, classroom culture and procedures, creativity and professionalism. I apply what learn with CfUT to my ministry with the children and youth at my home church. 2. Calvin Christian School I teach French, Spanish, Crafts, Music and the Bible during after school program. I use songs, games, hands and motor movements to teach the alphabet, numbers, shapes and words (in English, French and Spanish). One example I use is the parachute game: My aide and I hold the parachute high up over blocks of numbers, colors, shapes or words; I tell my kids, ‘Before the parachute fall down, one of you will run under the parachute, snatch this number and emerge out on the other side.’ I tell them the number I want, yell ‘Ready, Set, Go,’ and watch them snatch the number before the parachute falls back down. I also do communications projects with the students: Each of my K-1st student draws and writes his/her own book (8-page squared white paper sewn and glued together). Using Indesign CS6, I create the book covers, which includes a profile picture and brief biography of the child author and the story synopsis. The bigger kids (5th to 8th grade) do a reporting project: they come up with series of serious questions, choose one, interview an adult whose opinion they respect, record the interview, write an article on the interview and edit the video interview-style. I use obstacle games to help my students think fast, remember fast and apply in real-life setting a lesson they learned. For example: I place different students at different spots in the room. The student to be tested has 10 seconds to get the message to the other side of the room, a message of life and death. Situated on his path are different obstacles. If our activity is spelling, each obstacle will state a word and the student has to spell those words correctly to pass the obstacle. Behind the student, a competitor student from the other team tries to catch him, if he slows down in any way or hesitates before spelling a word, he risks of being caught. 3. West Pullman Church I am the youth director and media coordinator at my church. I also lead the children and youth outreach. We use songs, drama, novels, and art to tell the Gospel to our audiences, communicating in the interest and creative language of the people we speak too. 4. Loving Little People For two years, I worked as a full-time teacher and provider’s assistant in Loving Little People Daycare. I taught the little kids their ABCs, numbers, shapes, animals, etc. and tutored the big kids in their homework. SKILLS: I employ creativity in both lesson planning and teaching. The tools I use include 1. Language (French, Spanish, Mandarin and Korean) 2. Drama (role-playing, dramatic presentations, skits) 3. Songs and Dances (I make songs and dance movements to help students remember a biblical message, passage or verse). 4. Creative Communications (video, drama, creative writing) 5. Handicrafts 4. Games (obstacle games, prop games, musical games, etc.)

Continuing Education usually refers to a limited number of courses that dentists take. The amount of courses many practitioners take is determined by state laws requiring a designated amount during each licensing period.
Continuous Education for us implies that learning is a life long commitment. This is not something that happens as a result of regulations and licensing guidelines, it is something that happens when we find the world around us to be relevant and interesting. It involves the recognition that education doesn’t just take occur in the classroom. With the advent of streaming videos and study clubs, we can (and do!) watch teaching videos whenever we’d like.
Participating in study clubs with regularity reminds us to recognize there is still much to learn and participate in the dental profession. There is always something new on the horizon that could potentially be applied at our office.
Check out the image below from our one of our recent study club adventures!

With Snappa’s free quote maker, it’s easy for non-designers to create beautiful picture quotes online.
...so you’re always looking for new ways to whip up image quotes and then get on with your day. But shortcuts come with significant shortcomings.
By the time you’ve figured out all the different image dimensions and imported all your photos and graphics, you’ve already lost half of your day. Repurposing one image quote into different sizes? Forget about it.
You need to wait for your request to reach the top of their to-do list, and that’s if you can even afford a designer. And discount designer sites like Fiverr come with similar wait times and inconsistent quality.
Not only are most design tools overkill for creating picture quotes, they often charge extra for using their best photos!
Now there's a better way...
Choose from hundreds of easily customizable templates to save time and look like a pro. Or start from scratch to unleash your inner creative.
Swap background images with stock photos that are high resolution, 100% free, and available inside Snappa. Then add, subtract, and modify text until your picture quote is exactly what you envisioned.
Repurpose your image quote across social media platforms in a couple of clicks. Or, if you’re finished, download your new image quote for free and upload it to a platform.
With image resizing, you can design a picture quote one time and then repurpose it for your other platforms. For example, in a couple of clicks, you can turn a Facebook post into a Twitter post or Instagram post.
You don’t always have time to dream up a 100% original graphic. With Snappa, you have free access to professionally designed templates for a wide range of platforms. picture quote without searching through a handful of stock photo sites, worrying about image rights, and paying extra for the best images. It's all inside of Snappa, and it’s free. Of course, you can upload your own images.
Choose from 500,000+ of premium stock photos, dozens of modern patterns, plain color backgrounds, or upload your own images.
Edit the size, color, orientation, opacity and more for over 75 image quotes..
You can use premium features, including image resizing, for free. We believe our free plan should include the full Snappa time-saving experience. We only want users to upgrade to a paid plan because they have fallen in love with Snappa and use it often.
We have eliminated the learning curve you have come to expect from graphic design tools. You can create your first attention grabbing image quote and upload it to social media image quotes and then get back to their real work.
You can use Snappa for as long as you like without paying a dime. You have access to 500,000+ photos and graphics, professionally designed templates for many platforms, two connected social accounts, and 5 shares and downloads per month. Even advanced image quotes,.

Warden: [ reading, in a thick Oriental accent ] Michael Fay. For the crime of vandalizing cars and buses, the nation of Singapore has sentenced you-ou to six strokes of the cane. The sentence will be carried out.. now-ow.
[ a snappily-dressed American, in tan coat and tie, enters the room ]
Caner: Hello, Michael My name’s Jeff Gardner.
Michael Fay: Thank God! Are you from the State Department?
Caner: No, I’m the caner. I’m the one who’s gonna be caning you.
Michael Fay: But you’re am American.
Caner: Yep! Born and raised. [ walks to the wall, removes his jacket and hangs it up, then reaches for a cane among a rack filled with canes ]
Michael Fay: So, what are you doing here?
Caner: Well, I’ll tell ya — [ holds up his chosen cane and looks through the hollow of it ] You know, I always wanted to be a caner, but there’s, uh.. there’s not much call for caners back in the States, so, hey! You gotta go where the work is, you know? But, I’ll tell ya – Singapore is, uh.. is pretty nice, you know? How’s your visit been here so far?
Michael Fay: Okay. Not great.
Caner: Yeah. You know, you gotta give it a chance, it’ll grow on you – it’s clean, a great climate, and, virtually, no crime.
Michael Fay: So I understand.
Caner: Yeah. you know why there’s no crime? The caning!
Michael Fay: Yeah.
Caner: Although, actually, you know, caning is pretty barbaric, when you think about it.
Michael Fay: Yeah, I agree.
Caner: But, you know, they don’t pay me to think. They pay me to cane people. [ raises cane in the air for soem practice swings ] So, now, you’re a student, huh? What grade you in?
Michael Fay: Actually, I’m in college. I’m taking some courses over at the — [ screams as the Caner raises his cane into the air ]
Caner: No, no, no. Please, finish up.
Michael Fay: Well.. I’m, uh, uh.. I’m taking a bunch of language courses at the University of Singapore.
Caner: Ah! Th-that’s a good school! [ takes the first swift cane to Fay’s ass ]
Michael Fay: Oof!
Caner: Now.. are you living on campus over there? I heard they got some really nice dorms.
Michael Fay: [ gasps ]
Caner: You play tennis?
Michael Fay: Yeah, uh.. a little.
Caner: Me, too. Hey, we should play together sometime. You know, I’m getting a little tired of playing with these, you know? [ takes the second swift cane to Fay’s ass ] You know what I’m saying?
Michael Fay: Oof!
Caner: [ whispers ] You know, Mike? I think we better to get a doctor over here. [ looks offscreen to the doctor ] Hey, you want to have a look at this? [ the Oriental doctor steps forward ] What have I got here, Doc?
Doctor: [ in heavy Oriental accent ] Uh.. it looks like a blister. Probably from the caning.
Caner: Ah. Ah, thanks. [ doctor exits ] Like I need a doctor to tell me that, huh? [ takes the third swift cane to Fay’s ass ]
Michael Fay: Agh!
Caner: Funny story about that doctor! I was caning this guy, right? And he passes out, I think it was because of the incredible pain, you know? So, uh.. I keep caning him, you know, which you’re really not supposed to do! The doctor shows up, tells me the guy is dead! [ laughing ] Can you believe that! I was caning a dead guy! Is that crazy, or what?!
Michael Fay: [ not amused ] Yeah.
Caner: Hey, you know something? You’ve got a pretty nice-looking can there?
Michael Fay: [ disturbed ] What?!
Caner: Oh, I’m not one of those guys or anything, you know? It’s just that, I see a lot of them, that’s all. [ takes the fourth swift cane to Fay’s ass ] Hey, uh.. I’m losing track here. How many was that?
Michael Fay: [ smiles ] I think that’s all of them.
Caner: Nice try! I was just kidding! you got two more!
[ the phone rings, answered by the Warden. The Caner and Michael Fay look on with interest, as the Warden steps forward ]
Warden: It’s the Chief Justice of Singapore.
Michael Fay: Oh, thank God!
Caner: Oh, doesn’t he know I’m in the middle of a caning here?
Warden: He say very important.
Caner: Oh, that’s weird. You know, the Chief Justice only calls when there’s a pardon. What do you suppose he wants? [ takes the fifth swift cane to Fay’s ass ]
Michael Fay: Oof! Please! Maybe it’s a pardon!
Caner: Relax, buddy, you gotta save your strength, okay? You’ve got one more. [ takes the sixth and final swift cane to Fay’s ass ]
Michael Fay: Oof! Please! Just ask what he wants!
Caner: All right. [ to Warden ] What does he want?
Warden: [ listens into the phone ] Mr. Fay. I have some good news, and bad news.
Michael Fay: What’s the good news?
Warden: You have been pardoned!
Michael Fay: Thanks. What’s the bad news?
Warden: [ glumly ] Well.. “Live, from New York.. it’s Saturday Night.”

Get out of the winter soup rut with bright and flavorful thai ramen noodle chicken soup. Thanks to quick cooking ramen noodles, this dish comes together quickly with leftover chicken, for a hearty weeknight meal.
What is it about soup that’s so comforting and restorative?
I’m about midway through my yearly knock-down-drag-out cold — it’s a doozy — and all I can think about is my next bowl of soup. (And, I’ll admit, my next nap.) There’s bone broth simmering in the slow cooker as I type this. Chicken soup is on the menu for dinner tonight, and a big mug of leftover Thai ramen noodle chicken soup and a vegetable-heavy green salad is waiting for me for lunch. Hot herbal tea has soothed the throat and warmed the body, but I don’t think I would’ve gotten through this dang virus if it weren’t for soup.
Today’s chicken soup is just the kind of medicine I need to get through the day. Lots of health-supporting ginger, garlic, mushrooms, and — of course — a deeply savory, homemade bone broth, all rounded out by delicious Thai-inspired ingredients like red curry paste, kaffir leaves, and lemongrass.
And it comes together lickety-split, thanks to quick-cooking ramen noodles. Half an hour, and you have dinner on the table. That’s something even a cold-muddled zombie, like my current sad self, can pull together.
Recipe Insights for Thai Ramen Noodle Chicken Soup
- “Why so many ingredients, SoupAddict? Why??” Asian cuisine is masterful at building layers of flavor using the tastiest ingredients, and each region has its own signature flavor palate. Thai foods appeal to me the most, with its puckery, citrus-leaning flavors, like ginger, lemongrass, and kaffir leaves. But no worries: the ingredients are easy enough to source, and several last a long time. Fresh produce, such as leeks, ginger, lemongrass, and shiitakes should be available at most big-box groceries today. Kaffir lime leaves can be a little harder to find – check the produce aisle for fresh, or the spice aisle for dried. Red Thai curry paste, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, tamari/fish sauce, and kaffir lime leaves are long-storing items: refrigerate the curry paste, freeze fresh kaffir lime leaves, and store the other items in the pantry. Once you try this soup, you’ll be happy to keep them on hand.
- Dishes like Thai ramen noodle chicken soup are exactly what leftover chicken was made for! Short on time and nothing in the freezer? Rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is an excellent solution.
- To use fresh chicken: remove the skin and bones and brown the pieces in oil, right in the soup pot, first thing. Remove and set aside to cool while the vegetables cook. Then cut up the chicken into bite size pieces and add to the soup as instructed. At the end of the first 15 minutes of cooking, check several pieces to ensure the chicken is cooked through (if not, cook 5 minutes more). Then add the ramen noodles and continue the recipe.
- Salad greens in soup may sound strange in theory, but not in practice. Baby bok choy holds its shape and crunch very well, and adds interest and texture to a cooked soup. (No baby bok choy on the store shelves? Substitute regular bok choy or even Napa cabbage)
- For a creamy variation (similar to this one from the soup archives), substitute, one-to-one, some of the chicken broth with canned coconut milk.

Here’s to the wonderful effects of humanity-restoring soup!
Karen xo
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 leeks well cleaned and chopped
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 carrot chopped
- 1 celery rib chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced lemongrass
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon red Thai curry paste
- 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms sliced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon tamari soy, or fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cups cooked chicken chopped or pulled (leftovers work great)
- 1 kaffir lime leaf optional
- 1 3 ounce package ramen discard seasoning packet
- 1 baby bok choy sliced
- 1 green onion sliced
- salt and black pepper to taste
- Heat oil in a 3 or 4 quart pot over medium until shimmering. Add the leeks, onion, carrot, celery, lemongrass, ginger, and garlic, and sauté until softened (6-8 minutes). Scootch the vegetables to one side and add the sesame oil and curry paste. Stir until fragrant, then mix in with the vegetables.
- Add the mushrooms, the chicken broth, plus the vinegar, tamari (or soy or fish) sauce, and brown sugar. Increase heat to medium-high. When the soup begins to bubble, add the chicken and kaffir leaf, and reduce heat to medium-low (enough to maintain a gentle simmer). Cook for at least 15 minutes, to let the flavors combine. Add the ramen noodles and cook 5 minutes more. Taste, and adjust the salt and pepper.
- A few minutes before serving, fish out the kaffir leaf, then add the bok choy and green onions and stir to heat through.
Zandra says
Sounds good, bnut you do not need to use those really bad seep fried instant ramen noodle. If you have the good fortune of a nearby Asian market, you can pick up some dried NON-FRIED ramen noodles, or any other Asian noodles. They are very inexpensive and taste feel so much better. A better match for those wonderful fresh ingredients in this recipe.
Zandra says
Sorry for all the typo that should be “deep fried.”
Ben Robertson says
I could only find a hugenormous bok choy at my friendly neighborhood megamart. How much sliced bok choy would you recommend? A cup?
SoupAddict says
That’s sounds perfect! 😀 I’ll admit, though, that I usually add more greens to my soup than what might be shown in the pictures – I love the crunch of the bok choy! Hope you enjoy the soup!
Ben Robertson says
Thank you so much!
Ben Robertson says
Also, and I apologize if I am missing something, when do you add the other 3 c of broth?
SoupAddict says
Hi Ben, add all of the broth at once – I’ve updated the recipe!

At a recent NASSCOM Cloud and Mobility summit, the topic of discussion was “The Myths of the Hybrid Cloud.” With a reach out to address the common myths surrounding the Hybrid Cloud, I presented my topic themed ‘Hybrid Cloud is for every enterprise.’
Before decoding this topic, let us try to understand what the Hybrid Cloud is made of. Hybrid Clouds are created when a Private and Public cloud act as one, with the same kind of policies, the same network, etc.
If we closely observe private cloud vendors or analysts in this area of specialization, it is not difficult to believe that ‘private cloud’ is the way forward after server virtualization. To address this very need, we developed VMUnify. We came up with a beta release for the Indian market and approached multiple enterprises (banks, government, manufacturing, defense, etc.) for proof of concepts (PoCs). While our prospects were aware of the private cloud, with VMUnify, we gave them a first glance of a ‘private cloud solution.’ Since these enterprises were already into Server Virtualization, the virtualization paradigm was well understood. This made the migration to the cloud easier.
The PoCs were doing fine, but after a month or so, when we approached them again to discuss the next steps, we ended up with either a lack of interest or a refusal for future services. A majority of the prospects were unsure of what they can do with the private cloud.
We were back to square one! After spending close to a year on developing this solution, we realized that our target market was not yet ready for this solution. We have however currently discovered an alternative market and pursuing it at the best of our capabilities at this moment.
Well, anyway, getting back to the topic of discussion, with us testing the waters, here’s what we concluded with: We can broadly classify an enterprise’s workload into two major categories – fixed and variable. Fixed workload can be associated with application servers for which, the numbers of current and future users / consumers are clearly understood. Server Virtualization is the answer for these workloads.
If the workloads are variable (which typically happens with an application that is outward facing such as Online Tax Filing application, a gaming application, etc.), where the workload count can be anywhere between one and something really large, the cloud is the answer. Whether it has to be private or public can be decided by considering other factors such as cost, type of the application, capabilities of the infrastructure, etc.
Every enterprise has instances of fixed or predictable workloads, but not every enterprise has variable workloads. Also, not every enterprise may want to host a variable workload in-house.
We can come to a rational conclusion by understanding that a small set of enterprises which have variable workloads, who would also prefer to deploy it on their own infrastructure, a Private Cloud implementation is the way to go.
If some of the enterprises decide to take advantage of Public Cloud resources along with the Private Cloud, Hybrid Cloud would be a perfect fit. Looks like this percentages likely to remain low for a long time! What’s your take on it?

The recent move by the United Kingdom – and other countries in their footsteps – means that British intelligence are certain that there are some spies among Russian diplomats. This was also confirmed when they expelled specific diplomats, security analyst Jaroslav Naď told the Sme daily.
Naď, who is the head of the Slovak Institute for Security Policy, also pointed out that Russian embassies in all NATO and European Union member states have more diplomats than other countries of a similar size.
Slovak intelligence services also know the activities Russian diplomats execute in our country, as well as the political aspect: the Brits have shown that their reasons for expelling are very strong, and that this reaction must come, the analyst explained, adding that the measure of things to be accepted is a crucial issue in this case amounting to an international scandal.
“I can imagine a situation when the Slovak Information Service, or the Military Intelligence Service receive information that a Russian diplomat is carrying out espionage, and taking it further, to a foreign or prime minister who then decides politically,” Naď explained to Sme. “I can imagine that many times, Slovakia decided not to react, to avoid tensions in international relations. In other instances, however, when the situation is unbearable, the states take due steps.”
Suspicious numbers, and more
Naď pointed out that in each country there are more Russian diplomats than from other countries – around 70 diplomats and non-diplomatic staff in Slovakia – while the in the Czech Republic there are approximately 150 people. For comparison, the USA has about 40 to 50 people at their embassy in Slovakia.
“Generally it can be said that 30 to 40 percent of diplomatic staffers of the Russian Federation are undercover intelligence officers,” Naď told Sme.
In Slovakia, Russian spies mostly focus on economic interests – the legal and illegal acquiring of information on measures and steps that may have an impact on Russia – and disrupting the unity of the Slovak establishment that is pro-Western, with the internal goal of questioning the EU and NATO and then boosting the Slovak-Russian ties, he added.
What will the Slovak reaction be?
Naď opined that if 20 or more allies of Slovakia decide to join the UK and expel a greater amount of Russian diplomats, it would be hard for the Slovak Foreign Affairs Ministry not to react.
“I suppose it will join them, but I don’t expect a huge number of people; if Slovakia joins them this could involve one, or two diplomats at the most,” he noted for Sme, adding that it would be a compromise between diplomats really spying in foreign countries, and the need to join Slovakia’s allies.
“Any decision to join our allies is right – even if it involves a symbolic single diplomat. If Slovakia does not join in, it would be a diplomatic mistake,” Naď opines.
However, Russian retaliatory measures can be automatically expected, he summed up.

European countries failed to understand how crucial the issue of immigration is for central-European states. “It is absolutely unacceptable that someone else wants to decide on who will work and live here,” resigning Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš told the Bratislava conference Globsec 2018.
During the panel discussion with Slovak PM Peter Pellegrini, he discussed the priorities of central-European countries for the future reforms of the European Union. Pellegrini openly avowed closer integration in specific areas, while Babiš questioned whether something like multi-speed can even be considered.
Pellegrini agreed with French President Emmanuele Macron who stated that the first reforms’ results need to be visible by the following year.
“Otherwise, we will only grumble, without specific results,“ Pellegrini stated. “It is not possible to talk forever about a unified digital market, and to have just six standards accepted out of more than 40.“
The European Union lags behind, according to him, in innovation, in part because some regulations hamper real growth. “In Europe, the best ideas are born but people leave for the USA or Asia where they can grow faster,” Pellegrini said.
How is speed measured?
In his address, Babiš admitted that when multi-speed Europe is mentioned, he does not know exactly what is meant by this. “How is it measured? By the state of economy? Budget? Indebtedness rate? Economic growth? Unemployment rate?” he asked, adding that in all these cases, the Czech Republic belongs among top EU members.
Even if the integration develops at different speeds, it is crucial, he opined, that all countries get the chance to join in later, when they are ready, and also that all member states decide on all changes.
For the Czech Republic, security is the most important thing, according to Babiš.
“The Czech Republic is the sixth safest country worldwide, our people feel safe,” he boasted.
In the last two Czech election campaigns, the fear of terrorist attacks and connecting Muslim migration to terrorism helped extremist Tomio Okamura achieve a historical result in the Parliamentary House, while Miloš Zeman was re-elected as Czech president thanks to these issues.
Babiš dislikes the fact that the debate only revolves around “the stupid quota” all the time. According to him, the bloc should have focused on negotiating peace and a kind of Marshall Plan for the country in Syria, which European firms would also profit from, instead of solving the fate of millions of refugees.
Why Greece, and not Bulgaria?
The same should also apply for Schengen, he thinks, which “does not make sense”. “Why does it include Greece, but not Bulgaria or Romania?” he asks. “It is important to defend a continent, to deal with illegal migration outside the continent. It is not normal that human smugglers earned almost six billion euros in 2016,“ he stated.
Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán talks regularly, too, about the necessity to protect the European fortress, European culture and Christian values from Muslim immigrants. A clear refusal of refugees is also pushed through by the fourth member of the Visegrad Group, Poland.
In the issue of the European stance towards migration, Babiš concurred with Pellegrini who opined that only methods that will help “the real refugees” have to be found. The debate on changing the European asylum system has started badly, according to him, as quotas are mentioned from the very beginning. First, the states should have agreed on how they can protect borders, and then explained “what form of solidarity individual states can offer”.
“It is important to defend a continent, to deal with illegal migration outside the continent. It is not normal that human smugglers earned almost six billion euros in 2016.“
Andrej Babiš, Czech PM
Babiš also dislikes the recently filed EU budget draft, which he said was “dictated” by Brussels. According to the draft, new member states would get less money, while those that have felt the heaviest burden of the refugee wave would get more.
The Czech PM, who was prosecuted for fraud when drawing EU-funds, specifically dislikes that “with every change in drawing, we have to ask Brussels”. “Member states must have the final word, and not the Brussels officials,” he stressed.
Kiska opened
Globsec 2018, one of the biggest security conferences in the world, started on May 17 with a speech by Slovak President Andrej Kiska. Jointly, with clear rules, we can make this world a safer and better place to live in, he stated. He added that currently, he notices that in central European policies causing aggressive assertion of selfish interests and violation of international law prevail over values of freedom and democracy.

When Michael & Mary scheduled their engagement session for February, we knew it might be cold. We had a plan for their session, but also knew that if it really got chilly we might have to adjust. Well, the week of their session it was forecasted to be 15°…so we started talking about a new plan. Mary had the wonderful idea of doing part of their session at home. I LOVE at home sessions because they give me a chance to showcase the life that these two have built and will continue to build together. You spend so much of your life at home, and it becomes a consistent backdrop for the stories of your marriage so it’s really a special thing to showcase in your engagement session. We started at their home, just wandering around to all of the fun little nooks and crannies. Michael even pulled out his guitar at the end to treat us to a little song 🙂
We decided that we still wanted something a bit fancy (since you only do this whole thing once) so we spent a few minutes at the Nelson-Atkins! Boy was it cold…but these two were troopers and we powered through. I’m so very glad I we did!! Mary’s beautiful burgundy gown looked stunning against the creamy backdrop of the Nelson and gives them a bit of variety to their session. These two definitely had the best of both worlds…comfy images at home, and glammed up images at a beautiful KC so excited to photograph these two again at their wedding in October at The Elms Hotel & Spa…it’s going to be such a beautiful day!!

Chile will be facing the most difficult task for their last 2018 World Cup qualification match as they travel on Wednesday to face Brazil, who sit on top of the CONMEBOL table and have already secured a place in Russia.
La Roja are third on the CONMEBOL table with one game left in qualifying but could finish anywhere between second and seventh, with only four points between the two places as things stand. But that will depend largely on the result of their clash with Brazil.
Brazil are unbeaten in their past four games since their CONMEBOL qualifiers, and are not likely to compromise by losing any match, despite having secured a spot in Russia next year.
Chile must either beat Brazil out-rightly to secure a spot, or be at the mercy of the outcome of result between: Peru-Colombia, Ecuador-Argentina, Paraguay-Venezuela.
The South American champions understands the importance of today’s match against Brazil and will be on top of their game to secure a spot.

ORCA, the country's fastest sports car, was made by a team of more than 75 students from the IIT Bombay who spent nine months designing it. The car made its maiden voyage on Sunday at the campus auditorium and was sponsored by Tata Motors, NRB Bearings, CEAT Tyres and others.
"With an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 3.47 seconds, ORCA is faster than any other sports car made by Porsche, Tesla or Audi. Not only is its acceleration record-breaking, but it is also the first time we have a special steel-frame chassis with a carbon-fiber manufactured body, which not only reduces the weight but also stabilizes the car at high speeds," said Rishabh Kappasia, a 4th-year student of Engineering Physics at the IIT Bombay and Team ORCA's leader.
"The car is awesome to drive thanks to its light weight, and its stability increases at high speeds," added Manthan Mahajan, another 4th-year student who is Team ORCA's driver at competitions.
The car will represent India at Formula Student UK, an annual car competition among similar models developed by over 100 student teams from around the world, where the best cars are judged on the basis of several parameters like engineering and presentation skills. The IIT Bombay team has been participating in the contest over the past five years, becoming the only team to receive the award for design improvement for three consecutive years.

YAROSLAVL, June 2 (RIA Novosti) - A group of activists in the Central Russian city of Yaroslavl planted potatoes in road potholes , ringed several hundred of potholes on the city roads with bright-colored paint on Sunday morning in a bid to attract the attention of city authorities.
The activists, most of them drivers, also planted several kilograms of potatoes in particularly deep potholes. They made photos of their work and plan to send them to the city mayor’s office with a letter demanding to improve road maintenance.
“I want my voice to be heard by the authorities. [I want] them to start improving roads, which, in fact, are non-existent new,” one of the activists, Ruslan Allayarov, told RIA Novosti. “I drive my car daily, and every five or ten minutes I run into a pothole. I’m outraged by that.”
Similar campaigns, organized by the Angry Urbanites public organization, were held in numerous Russian cities this spring. In the Siberian city of Tomsk, activists planted flowers in the deepest potholes in the city's streets in late May.
On April 1, activists of the movement have found over 100 potholes on the roads of Moscow and spray-painted them at night.
According to an old popular Russian saying, “Russia has two woes - fools and roads.” In a survey released in late January by the Federal Statistics Service (FSS), over 60 percent of Russians cited bad roads among their main concerns.
On April 10, Samara Region Governor Nikolai Merkushkin ordered more funding for road maintenance after UK media published lurid reports about giant potholes in the city's streets. British media published images showing cars and trucks which had fallen into huge sinkholes, claiming all of them were in the same city - Samara in the Volga area, Russia’s sixth largest city.

My standard uniform for Summer is pretty casual. Throw on some colorful shorts, a knit top, some ankle-strap sandals, my hair in a tousled bun, and I'm ready to go. J.Crew has the best shorts in a billion Summer shades, everything from soft hues to bright neons and fun prints. I am obsessed with Rebecca Minkoff's bags! I have a M.A.B Mini - but I am lusting after this cross-body. The white is perfect for Summer.....especially when paired with these sandals by Michael Kors (which fyi, are super-dooper on sale right now). Finish the outfit with some fun bangles. Whether it's running around town shopping or enjoying fish tacos and margaritas at the beach, this look will carry me through the remaining days of hot-hot summertime.

If you haven’t read my web comic Dragon Hunt by now, you should. Seriously. As the creator, I personally think it’s hilarious and my friends assure me that it’s true. In brief, its the story of a stereotypical fairy tale situation gone awry. A dragon kidnaps the queen, the king summons the knights of the realm, and promises the hand of the princess in marriage to the one who can kill the dragon and bring back its head. But when Princess Lia finds out about her father’s little arrangement, she’s none to thrilled. To thwart the arranged marriage, Lia and a hornless unicorn nicknamed “Bill” set out to slay the dragon first. Their departure sets up a mad scramble as the local mysterious peasant and his teenage daughter remember that they’ve been paid a handsome sum by the ruler of a rival kingdom to keep Lia around King Charles on her 21st birthday (for purposes not yet revealed). The teenage girl, Julie, has already blown the money on clothes, so while she tries to track the Princess down, her father alerts King Charles that the Princess is missing so he can send out a search party of his own. The only one available for such a party turns out to be a narcissistic monster-hunting ranger who accepts the assignment because, well, it’s the off-season.
Some memorable moments include:
- Queen Gertrude’s horrible opera concert is cut short when she is scooped up by a dragon and flown away into the sunset. Everyone cheers.
- Princess Lia finds out about the arranged marriage from a bunch of knights hitting on her as they head out to slay the dragon. Cue the furious exclamation.
- As a baby, Lia is found on the castle steps with a threatening note.
- King Charles explains how naps are a royal prerogative and rationality isn’t.
- A unicorn attacks.
- A unicorn wears a skirt…more or less.
- Lia and Bill learn the hard way why you shouldn’t play with swords indoors (this is how Bill becomes a hornless unicorn).
- A man is hug-tackled by a ninja.
There will be more to come, I promise. On a totally unrelated note, I just realized my comic does not yet pass the “Bechdel Test”. While I have three named female characters (and more to come), they have yet to talk with each other, or even meet for that matter. The next chapter includes at least two plot-relevant conversations though, and by the end of the fourth chapter I plan to have a whole gaggle of female characters yammering at each other–if they can avoid killing each other first, that is.
Anyway, there are some improvements coming to Dragon Hunt. Previously, I’ve updated on Saturdays, but this has always meant I had to have my comic uploaded by Friday at midnight…and with all the things that go on in a week there was just too much opportunity for delay. Now, I’ve changed the update schedule to Monday, and this week I had my comic uploaded three days early. I’ve also connected the webcomic’s site to this blog, so that comic readers can drop by here to see what I’m up to and comment if they wish.

In the context of business regulation, monopolies are not the ideal. Indeed, government (at both the federal and state level) downright frowns upon monopolies.
Enter antitrust laws. Antitrust laws are meant to discourage large business entities (monopolies) from having so much market share (power over an entire sector) that they stifle competition. Consider these laws a helping hand for capitalism.
Generally speaking, antitrust regulations prevent large mergers that their respective state attorneys believe may hurt consumers by limiting choice.
The federal government largely regulates these laws. Therefore Arizona's antitrust laws largely serve to complement federal antitrust laws. The federal laws are contained in the Sherman and Clayton Acts.
Federal antitrust laws typically prohibit any conspiracy or concerted effort to restrain trade, while also limiting the ability of large corporations to make acquisitions that would severely limit competition.
The Sherman Act specifically imposes a steep fine ($100,000,000 if a corporation) and possible 10-year prison sentence for an illegal "trust... or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce."
The signing of the Clayton Act is best known for creating the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which is responsible for reviewing complaints and approving corporate mergers. See FTC's Guide to Antitrust Laws to learn more about federal statutes and enforcement measures.
So, to put it another way, a "trust" is a very large corporation that lacks any real competition. Antitrust laws, therefore, are intended to foster a more competitive landscape, which tends to provide better choices and fair prices for consumers.
These laws usually come into play after a large corporate merger is announced, prior to final approval. Arizona antitrust laws have a four-year statute of limitations for filing claims and allow private lawsuits for violations.
The following table highlights the main provisions of Arizona's antitrust laws. See FindLaw's Consumer Protection section for related articles.
Note: State laws are constantly changing -- contact an Arizona antitrust attorney or conduct your own legal research to verify the state law(s) you are researching.

__-Commitment to goals is not easy no matter what they consist of. All that REALLY matters is that your goal challenges you enough to get uncomfortable with learning something new or taking what you already master and push yourself even further. Everyone will have different goals that is just life. That is why it’s important to make sure your goals are important for you and that they will get you into action. COMMITMENT is crucial when focusing on a specific goal or dream. Your level of COMMITMENT is shown everyday with actions we take and what we focus on. Dig deep and find out “why” your goals and dreams are important to you, the answers to WHY will KEEP you COMMITTED and on track.
Committed to Success is a narrow road that everyone is welcomed on, but tough to persevere to the finish.

Jack Reese (Commander)
Having faithfully served the Boston Police Department for years, reaching the rank of Deputy Superintendent, Jack was assigned to CRTF because it was assumed it would be an easy relaxed position for the few months before his retirement.
Jack remains unfazed by his time on the force, and his core of integrity and good nature served his mental health well during his time on the beat. Jack is a capable commander, although he feels mellowed by old age. Jack's wife, Ruth, is glad of his retirement. Despite working for the BPD, Jack's marriage has remained healthy.
(Goals of Character: Provide a strong benevolent character for the PCs to turn to. Jack can also make a good sacrificial lamb if needed.)
Kyle Diglado (Second-In-Command)
Burned out by his service with the force, Kyle seems at odds with Jack when it comes to life. The two remain on good terms, to the point where Jack requested his presence on the task force to prevent Kyle from having to go on administrative leave due to an incident where it was determined Kyle shot a suspect without sufficient reason to do so.
Kyle is rough and bitter, and has a fairly sharp wit. That aside, Kyle has a knack for police work, and is one of the best on the force. He's going to be personally in-charge of the PCs on the operational level. Kyle is a good tactical leader, and does care about those under his command. Not that they need to know.
(Goals of Character: Kyle is a bleak NPC who will be working directly with the PCs during combat situations. He serves as a foil for the more sunny Jack, and also as a source of conflict within the task force. All said, Kyle probably will become a lasting NPC in the campaign.)
Holly Birch (FBI Liaison)
Eager to escape her sexist coworkers in the FBI, Holly was one of the first members to join CRTF. Fairly well-known within law enforcement circles for being the agent responsible for catching multiple serial killers within only a few days of their escape from prison that left eight prison workers dead.
Holly hopes that CRTF will provide her breathing room to work without having to deal with ornery coworkers. She's also responsible for making sure that Todd doesn't hold onto any FBI forensics equipment after CRTF has completed their mission.
(Character Goals: Holly is a potential source of conflict- be it with the FBI, Todd, the PCs, or Kyle.)
Grant Eddings (Former ATF)
Fired from the ATF for a 'lost' shipment of assault rifles, Grant pulled a few favors to get onto CRTF so that he could save his pension. Grant is under strict orders to remain at R'lyeh in a purely support function- under no circumstances is he to be allowed to leave the complex with anything that can shoot, stab or otherwise harm someone. Grant is serving as armorer and quartermaster, keeping the weapons available to CRTF maintained, as well as taking care of repairs.
Generally, Grant is easy going and has a chummy personality. Grant has a dim view of the ATF and FBI due to the investigation into his lost shipment of guns.
(Character Goals: Grant's past criminal activity might come to haunt CRTF. He'll probably clash with Holly or Kyle, and possibly Jack should he try to skirt his various restrictions.)
Todd Richards (Tech)
Brought in to oversee CRTF's computers, Todd is a natural sysadmin, as well as a competent hacker. Todd is into pop culture and is heavily involved in multiple social circles revolving around conspiracies and the like. Todd is a nerd, and is the one who christened the CRTF base as R'lyeh. Todd also helps run communications, and Jack trusts him implicitly.
Session 1: Reveals that he's Ex-DARPA and was hired after the previous tech person was fired due to one of my PCs hacking the CRTF network.
(Character Goals: Todd can help serve as comic relief, and serve as competition for the Comp. Savvy PC one of my players came up with.)
Daniel Ward (Rank Classified)
Attached to CRTF by an agency or individual that even Jack isn't cleared to know about, Daniel is enigmatic and tends to stay very quiet. Jack finds it hard to trust someone that he doesn't completely know, and Daniel usually seems to only observe what is happening.
Daniel deflects most questions and frequently moves around the base seemingly without reason.
Session 1: It's revealed that he's operating under an assumed name within CRTF due to his Boss's wishes.
(Character Goals: Daniel has connections to the forces at play that will only be revealed later on in the campaign.)
Sarah Cooper (Doctor and Medic)
Brought in to see to the medical needs of CRTF. She is warm and friendly, and gets along extremely well with Holly. Sarah's only problem is Grant, who she wishes would talk without yelling all the time.
Sarah is an excellent doctor, although she has traumatic memories of her time spent overseas in war-torn Africa.
(Character Goals: Since none of my players are going to be skilled in medical care, I figured having at least one NPC available would help keep them alive. Mwahahahahaha.)

Informants:
Father Michaels:
A former catholic priest who left the church due to his claims that he had an encounter with the demon Modar, Michaels is aware of the happenings between heaven and hell. His outlook on life has been seriously changed, especially with the Church's refusal to believe his story. Modar and Michaels have a strong emnity.
James:

A fun collection of NPC's that can be easily tossed in to round out any modern day or near future police or military precinct/outpost.
I would have enjoyed seeing a precinct written up to go along with the characters, as well as a bit of detail as to the NPC's preferred combat tactics, specific special weapons, and some plot hooks, but as it is they are readily useable and certainly memorable.
I especially like the character goals section of each NPC, it provides the Gm with a quick reference as to the role each NPC can play in the campaign and works well to give a feel for how they will likely interact with each other.
As a group they're likely to make an appearance (with a few minor changes) in my current sci-fi campaign as part of a special forces group based out the characters battle cruiser.

Those of you paying close attention may notice that this sub has been updated with additional info such as "Session 1: Reveals that he's Ex-DARPA and was hired after the previous tech person was fired due to one of my PCs hacking the CRTF network."
These will likely continue as more sessions of the CRTF Campaign progress with my players.

hi don perfecto gomez!
hm – since i guess you would like it in spanish i can not really help you. for english – most of his stuff is translated (i’m not sure if everything is) and should be easily available.
i can give you one hint: on ubuweb.com you’ll also find a radiopiece base on a poem by jean genet. very interesting!

Following a hugely successful inaugural event in 2017, the Tauranga International Marathon will return to one of New Zealand’s fastest growing cities and favourite holiday destinations.
In 2018, the popular event will take place a few weeks earlier, on Saturday, September 22.
The event, which involved more than 1200 runners traversing the city’s beautiful natural landscapes in 2017, will again take to the streets of Tauranga.
The marathon, organised by sports event gurus Total Sport, boasts a “flat, fast and fun” terrain. There are 42.2km, 21.1km, 12km and 6km options, as well as a 2km kids (and parents) dash.
According to Aaron Carter, founder of Total Sport and the Tauranga International Marathon, “We were delighted with the response to our inaugural event, both from participants and the Tauranga community. This year’s course will be slightly different – from Papamoa to The Strand – and will end with a big party at the finish line, not only for runners, but their supporters and the Tauranga community to enjoy. Because of the flat and fast course and the stunning views, it’s a bucket list event for seasoned runners as well as an ideal first-time option.”
The full marathon starts in the heart of Tauranga’s growing seaside suburb, Papamoa. Runners will speed on a direct course towards Mount Maunganui, along the ocean, before travelling around the Mauao base track, soaking in the views.
They’ll run past Pilot Bay then up and over the Tauranga Harbour Bridge and back to the water’s edge on the other side. More views will meet them there as they make their way along the foreshore to Fergusson Park and back.
Finally, runners will meander through the Waikareao Eastuary, including the Daisy Hardwick boardwalk, before finishing in the heart of the city centre, where they will be awarded their medal and soak up the celebratory atmosphere at the finish line party.
Tauranga International Marathon will again partner with Live More Awesome, a non-profit charity and movement dedicated to inspiring, encouraging, informing and finding help for people struggling with their mental health. Live More Awesome’s philosophy is about helping everyone improve their mental health. Their mission is to reinforce that everybody has mental health that needs to be acknowledged and looked after, just like their physical health.
For the first time, the Tauranga International Marathon will also partner with Girls Who Run NZ for the 12km event. Girls Who Run NZ is a new coaching programme and “tribe” of female Kiwi runners, connecting and inspiring each other to reach their running goals. It was established this year by coach Maree Leith and already has hundreds of participants.
The first woman and man in the Tauranga International Marathon will receive $2000 each, with second place getters nabbing $1000 and third place $500.
In the Half Marathon, the first-placed woman and man will each receive $1000, with second place getters taking out $500 and third $250.
Tauranga City Council proudly supports the Tauranga International Marathon which showcases the beautiful spaces and places Tauranga has to offer: the city centre, waterfront, foreshore, estuary, harbour, coast, beaches and the city’s most remarkable landmark, Mauao.

Ocean Acidification and its Effects. Custom Ocean Acidification and its Effects Essay Writing Service || Ocean Acidification and its Effects Essay samples, help
Two-thirds of the earth’s surface is covered by oceans that play a naturally significant role in the earth’s cycle. It is argued that the oceans represent the largest active carbon sink. In fact, over 48 percent of the carbon released to the earth’s atmosphere through fossil burning is regulated by the ocean. It is imperative to understand that of the three places that carbon is regulated and stored, i.e. land, oceans and the atmosphere, almost 93 percent is takes place in the oceans. Therefore, as our oceans begin to face yet another threat because of the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide, marine organisms as well as ecosystems will have to bear the grave consequences. Gaylord et al. (2011) claim oceans have absorbed approximately 525 billion tons of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the earth’s atmosphere in the past twenty years. Despite the fact that this trait has immensely benefited mankind by reducing greenhouse gas levels, the immense absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans has started to take a toll on the geochemical and biological processes of the oceans. Understanding the Ocean Cycle Jutterstrom & Anderson (2010) argue that when anthropogenic carbon dioxide is absorbed by seawater, a chemical reaction that reduces seawater pH takes place. The reaction of carbon dioxide and seawater is called ocean acidification. This reaction is primarily controlled by circulating currents, ocean surface currents and other biological processes such as respiration and photosynthesis. Scientists contend that the amount of carbon dioxide being dissolved in the ocean lowers the pH; therefore, reducing the availability of carbonate ions and also lowers the saturation state of the main carbonate minerals that enhance shell-formation. Feely et al. (2006) asserts that both climate change and ocean acidification result from excessive dumping of carbon into the atmosphere via human activities. Scientists are of the opinion that if the current trend continues, then the average pH of the oceans might go down by 0.5 by the year 2100 (Gaylord et al., 2011). What worries experts is the fact that ocean acidification is an irreversible process since peoples’ efforts to reduce ocean acidification through artificial means have been futile. However, all is not lost because reducing the amount of carbon dioxide that mankind emits to the atmosphere is the only practical way of minimizing the long term changes and risks to the oceans. Regions of the ocean that will be affected The prime areas that will be affected by ocean acidification are deep water and high-altitude regions, where carbonate levels are low. As the carbonate saturation horizons in the oceans become shallower and ocean acidification continues, the surface waters in high latitude areas will be under-saturated with respect to aragonite (Jutterstrom & Anderson, 2010). It is believed that these occurrences will affect many calcareous organisms such as foraminifera, pteropods, and coccolithophores in the productive surface area. It is imperative to understand that these organisms play a vital role in cycling carbon from the oceans’ surface to deep oceans. Apart from the high regions, the surface waters of many oceans will also be affected by ocean acidification. This will result from an increase of carbon dioxide levels, which is caused by the functioning and composition of various ecosystems. Coral reef ecosystems that can be found in the waters of subtropical and tropical regions are also affected by ocean acidification. Coral reef ecosystems are not only reproductive, but also the most diverse marine ecosystems that support thousand of people directly through the continual harvesting of the coral reefs. These precious ecosystems, which can be found in several developing nations, will diminish as a result of reduced calcification rates. Gaylord et al. (2011) contend that a reduction in calcification rates will lead to the growth of fragile skeletal structures and at a slower rate. It is believed that the oceans may loose more of their reef areas due to erosion that is caused by reduced calcification together with coral bleaching. Ocean Acidification and Marine Life By definition, all marine animals are adapted to their environment. Unfortunately, changes in the ocean chemistry, particularly hasty modifications like ocean acidification have both direct and indirect impacts on these organisms as well as their habitats (Guinotte & Fabry, 2009). Direct impacts of ocean acidification include the effect of increased carbon dioxide concentration and acidity that might affect the different stages of the life cycle. Indirect effects may arise from the changes in the composition or availability of nutrients due to an increase in acidity.

Mistletoe has never been recorded on a Sussex Wildlife Trust reserve. But today we recorded it FROM one. Not that we'll be counting it on the site list but this shows how tantalisingly close we got to it today at the Warren, part of our Burton Pond reserve. The road delineates the edge of the reserve and across the next field you can see a clump of Mistletoe. However, 'from' just isn't good enough even for a bird (let alone something that can't fly. Or move even). We never recorded the short-toed eagle using Old Lodge for example, although it was seen distantly from the reserve. Now this might have made a nice tweet and the story might have ended there so why am I blogging about this I hear you ask?
Well, this is the winter of 2017/18 and you can't even take a photo of a clump of mistletoe without it being photo-bombed by a couple of these chunky monkeys due to their unprecedented invasion!
Yes, you've guessed it. A couple of hawfinches! This is getting ridiculous. Not only did we see these two and hear them flying over the Warren we also saw five more round at New Piece. This seems to be a new record for our part of the site. This is my eighth encounter this winter which outnumbers ALL my other encounters ever! The last two times I've been out in the field they have outnumbered chaffinches. I don't think I'll ever get bored of them and I've never been more tuned in to their insignificant calls. All encounters (except this one) this year wouldn't have happened without knowing this call, so to maximise your chances of seeing one or more of these awesome finches, keep your ears open. I love how upright they are in silhouette. I guess it's hard to perch diagonally if you're head weighs as much as a hawfinch's does without falling over.
I'll leave you with this. The scientific name (Coccothraustes coccothraustes) always makes me think of these. Hawfinches: they're grrrreat!
P.S. Mistletoe has still not been recorded ON a Trust nature reserve.

George Zinkhan ’74: Professor-turned-Murder Suspect nationwide search is underway for a University marketing professor, and member of the Swarthmore class of 1974, who is accused of killing three people and wounding two others in a quiet Athens neighborhood Saturday afternoon.
George Zinkhan III, 57 approached a gathering of the Town and Gown Players performance group at Athens Community Theater at noon with two guns and fired them multiple times before escaping in his vehicle, according to Alan Brown, assistant police chief for Athens-Clarke County.
Three were fatally wounded, and two others were hit with shrapnel and transported to St. Mary’s Hospital. The three victims are Zinkhan’s wife – Marie Bruce, 47, a local attorney and president of the performance group’s board of directors; Ben Teague, 63, a set designer for the group and husband of University English professor Fran Teague; and Tom Tanner, 40, a set designer and performer for the group.
The shooting occurred during a reunion of former and current members of the Town and Gown Players, and actors were preparing for an evening performance of “Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure.” Authorities issued a nationwide alert for Zinkhan and his 2005 maroon Jeep Liberty Renegade with the Georgia license plate AIX1376. Police searched his Brooks Hall office, Bruce’s law office downtown and a SWAT team broke down the door of his home in Bogart, Ga., but Zinkhan has yet to be located. Neither has his car.
Performances were canceled at the theater. Pajama Jam and the Ballroom Formal on the campus were still held Saturday night.
” and realized, “this isn’t a play.”
Police are checking airports and told each other on the police scanner Saturday afternoon to follow cars they believe may be heading to Austin, Texas, where some of his relatives live. He also owns a home in Amsterdam.
Zinkhan dropped off his two children, ages 8 and 10, at the home of a neighbor.
“He indicated that he needed someone to watch his kids for an hour,” the neighbor, Robert Covington, said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press. “He said there had been an emergency.”
The children are in police custody now, said ACC Police Captain Clarence Holeman.
Neighbors talked in their yards during the day, and police blocked the neighborhood’s road.
â€Åš when I asked about the children, he looked at me and said ‘the children are fine, he had the presence of mind to drop them off somewhere before he did this.’”
The shooting did not affect the 30th Annual Athens Twilight Criterium events, a festival and bike race during the weekend that draws tens of thousands each year to downtown Athens.
“We’ve had to make some adjustments on how we’re handling Twilight,” Brown said. â€Åš Plus, I think the Atlanta news helicopters probably wouldn’t be circling Twilight normally.”
UGA Alert, set up after the shooting events at Virginia Tech in 2007 to call and send campus-wide messages to faculty, staff and students, was issued by university officials to the at 2 p.m. as a precaution.
It read: “UGA Professor George Zinkhan is a suspect in a shooting off campus. George Zinkhan is a white male in his mid 50s with a goatte,” who he played softball with just a few days ago.
Zinkhan worked at the universities of Houston and Pittsburgh and received a Ph.D. in 1981 from the University of Michigan in business administration, an M.B.A. in 1979 from the University of Michigan in operations research and a B.A. in 1974 from Swarthmore College in English literature.
This article was republished with permission from The Red and Black. Carolyn Crist, Daniel Burnett, JoAnn Anderson, Alex Busko, Chelsea Cook and Mimi Ensley contributed to this story.
Really you guys? It is pretty clear they wrote this for their school newspaper. Obviously, the kids at UGA are going to understand it. They didn't write this for us.
"I hate to say it, but judging from that photo, he looks like a total murderer….but then again, he also looks like a total Swattie."
Oh please, what a steaming load of crap.
You need better writing skills.
I hate to say it, but judging from that photo, he looks like a total murderer….but then again, he also looks like a total Swattie.
read the news, never thought he's a swattie
Yeah, I was going to disagree with s (I thought it was pretty evident this was Athens, Georgia) but UGA's not actually mentioned by name until nearly the end of the article. The events & locations could probably use an explanation for those of us who don't go to school there, too. I guess it makes sense because this is just a reprint, but could you edit it to make it clearer for us?
There are probably a number of people who are going to read this article today–may I suggest that you make a few edits in your lede, like indicating which University he teaches at, or which Athens is meant (I'm not from Georgia, so to me Athens=Greece)? While these things may familiar be in the local community where the news first broke, I think it might help Swarthmore readers.
It's shocking how inconsiderate these people are of the effect their actions will have on the reputation of Swarthmore college…

Labor ministry to revise regulations in line with new amendment
The Ministry of Labor (MOL) said Friday it will soon revise several regulations to complement an amendment passed earlier in the day that scrapped the maximum stay requirement for migrant workers.
The Legislative Yuan passed an amendment to the Employment Service Act to remove a provision that required migrant workers who have worked in Taiwan for three years -- the longest contract allowed -- to leave the country for at least one day if they want to be re-hired.
It will take effect as soon as it is publicly posted by the Presidential Office, a formality that usually takes fewer than three weeks.
In line with the amendment, the Regulations on the Permission and Administration of the Employment of Foreign Workers will have to be revised to set procedures for when employers want to continue to hire the same workers after three years, the MOL said.
Regulations governing change of employers will also need to be revised to give migrant workers clear guidance on what steps to follow when their contracts are not renewed by their original employers after three years, the ministry said.
In 2015, 93,562 migrant workers left Taiwan after working in the country for three years, the ministry's data showed.
To protect the workers' rights, the ministry said it will also revise regulations to impose a fine of up to NT$300,000 on employers who refuse to pay migrant workers their wages while they take annual leave in their home countries.

Last night we removed the trim and the door frame on the closet in the bathroom (look for pics later). What a mess. I did discover that using a crowbar is fun! What power! Things actually went pretty fast and the decorative painting on the walls was kept mostly intact. Now I just have to decide what in the world I’m going to do with the closet. The plaster walls are a mess. Now I remember why we shoved a dresser unit in there rather than dealing with the walls. I think we’ll have to install new drywall to the sides before we can put in shelves.
This is like the Energizer bunny. It just keeps going and going and going. Tonight we’ll hopefully install the new subflooring piece so the backerboard can be done tomorrow. With any luck, we can have this tile laid late on Saturday.
One response to “The Fun Continues”
Back when we were younger, more adventurous, we did home repair on our own. These days, I call in the professionals. I’ve weakened and just don’t have the stomach for it; Gary doesn’t have the time, though I think he secretly desires a little time alone with his drill.
My advice? Don’t get all hung up on completion; it’s so overrated.

I purchased an iPad Air through Target.com. Was sent two separate confirmation emails about the order being successfully processed. Was told the shipment would arrive no later than 12/5/2013. By 12/11/2013, still hadn't received it. Called them, and was told by a supervisor the order had been lost, could not be fulfilled and my only option was to be refunded. In 7-10 business days. Nice. So, I spent over $500 for an item intended as a Christmas gift, waited longer than advised to get it, was only told it wouldn't be happening after _I_ called _them_, and the supervisor didn't even offer to look further into the matter.
Also, I called UPS and they said Target.com had only sent them my billing information - not the actual order. So, I was lied to as well.
Really fantastic experience. Never again.
Almost to a tee, the same thing just happened to me. Supervisor said the same thing, apologized, but would do nothing for me except to call a store that said it was in stock, but ended up not in stock.
The supervisor was nice enough, but just absolutely refused to do anything for me other than refund my money.
I will go WAY out of my way to never shop there again.

… and we celebrate (as always) the natural wondrous world of Tasmania. Isla’s brilliant shot is of Tomahawk Island … in winter …
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. No price is too high for the privilege of owning yourself.

Yesterday there was a blackout, I’m not really sure why. But I was able to gather that the lights get turned off when there is an earthquake (it was night last time so I didn’t notice). If there was an earthquake, I certainly didn’t feel it and neither did my family (of course we were in a car at the time….). We were driving down a highway and every light around us just shut off. I got to experience the feeling of right before an alien attack, without the aliens of course. Everything was completely dark, well as dark as anything can get in the city (still no stars), and my family literly didn’t know how to drive at night. They turned on all the lights in the car and broke out headlamps and such. Of course the car had headlights, but driving at night is completely different than driving during the day. Stoplights were out and lets just say it was not exactly a smooth ride the rest of the way there.

Securities and Exchange Board of India
CIRCULAR
SEBI/HO/IMD/DF2/CIR/P/2018/18
February 05, 2018
All Mutual Funds/Asset Management Companies (AMCs)/ Trustee Companies/Boards of Trustees of Mutual Funds
Sir/ Madam,
Subject: Total Expense Ratio– change and disclosure
1. It is observed that there are frequent changes carried out in Total Expense Ratio (TER) and such changes are not prominently disclosed to investors. In order to bring uniformity in disclosure of actual TER charged to mutual fund schemes and to enable the investor to take informed decision, the following has been decided:
a. AMCs shall prominently disclose on a daily basis, the TER of all schemes under a separate head –“Total Expense Ratio of Mutual Fund Schemes”on their website in downloadable spreadsheet format as per Annexure A.. (For example, if changed TER is to be effective from January 8, 2018, then notice shall be given latest by January 2, 2018, considering at least three working days prior to effective date). Further, the notice of change in base TER shall be updated in the aforesaid section of website at least three working days prior to effecting such change.

India Mobile Ad Market Grows 27% For InMobi
The Indian mobile advertising market for Inmobi, a mobile advertising network, grew by 27% to 1.5 billion impressions between October 2010 and January 2011.
Smartphones contribute to 14% of the Indian market representing over 1 billion impressions monthly compared to 'advanced phones' (such as the Nokia 3110) which represent 6.3 billion monthly impressions, according to a report by InMobi.
"The India mobile ad market continues to grow at a rapid pace. The sheer quantity of monthly impressions highlights the opportunity for advertisers to reach the masses via mobile media. Furthermore, a 44% growth in smartphone impressions and 3G network rollouts indicate the future acceleration of media consumption in the region," said Atul Satija, VP & Managing Director – Asia Pacific at InMobi.
A sharp surge in smartphones and the spread of Android OS to emerging markets have together contributed to the growth of mobile ad impressions globally. The report states that there were 1 billion daily mobile ad impressions across the world, highlighting the importance of mobile devices as a primary means of digital consumption. Which means more users are viewing ads on their smart phones. According to the company, 1 out of every 3 ad impressions on mobiles is on a smartphone globally. Smart phone ads increased by 5.8 billion impressions month on month between October 2010 and January 2011.
Apps have still not been able to overtake mobile web (WAP) when it comes to ads being delivered to users. InMobi reports that 84% of ad requests globally are on WAP (i.e. people browsing the Internet on their mobiles) compared to 16% of ad requests on apps (people playing or using an app). In India, apps account for only 0.5% of ad impressions - a point that marketers and developers need to take into consideration.
While globally Nokia is quickly losing its market share to Android and iPhone OS manufacturers such as Apple, LG, HTC and Motorola, in India it still holds its position with Samsung next. The two manufacturers - Nokia and Samsung - account for 83% of all ad impressions in India.

Exclusive: Rajesh Sawhney, Anupam Mittal seed-fund Splitkart
- Technology |
- Money |
- Startups
Splitkart, a mobile app that allows users to split bills and plan group outings, has secured an undisclosed amount in seed funding from GSF India founder Rajesh Sawhney and People Group CEO Anupam Mittal besides other angel investors.
Dinesh Agarwal, CEO of IndiaMART and Gaurav Gupta, managing director of Macquarie Capital India, also put in money in this round, said Monojeet Sinha, co-founder and CEO, Splitkart.
Techcircle.in last week reported on Snapdeal's chief product officer Anand Chandrasekaran investing in Splitkart.
Sharique Khan, co-founder of Gurgaon-based Splikart Eservices Pvt Ltd, which runs Splitkart, said the funds will be used for product development and scaling up operations.
Splitkart is looking to scale up operations via direct partnerships in Delhi-NCR region before expanding into other metros.
"We have a tie-up with certain players through which we can enter other parts of the country," added Khan.
"With people increasingly eating out/ordering in groups, we will be focussing on how to better enable splitting of bills for our users in the food and restaurant industry before we move into other usage cases such as group travel, as well as events," Khan added.
Launched in June 2015, Splitkart allows users to split restaurant bills through a mobile wallet. It also acts as a platform for discovering deals from nearby restaurants and pubs. The app includes social media sharing options for group planning. The app is currently available for download on Android smartphones and will be available for iOS users in a month's time.
"There is a growing need for a product in India which caters to group payment scenarios without the inconvenience and social awkwardness of asking back for money. With a product that caters to this need and an experienced founding team, Splitkart looks on track to meet the gap," said Rajesh Sawhney, founder of GSF India.
Sinha and Khan had earlier worked together in Rocket Internet Venture's coupon venture, CupoNation. Khan was one of the top executives of CupoNation India while Sinha was CupoNation's country head for India, Australia and Singapore.
"We are looking to create a seamless group experience and remove the biggest friction in any group interaction, that of payments," said Sinha.
Splitkart will compete with Mypoolin in the group payment space. In June, Mypoolin raised an undisclosed amount in seed funding from Google's Rajan Anandan, iSPIRT's Sharad Sharma and others.
In the local deals space, Splitkart would compete with Mahindra Comviva's Zerch, Paytm-backed Little, Niffler which was acquired by personal assistant app Helpchat and Perksmap, co-founded by Koovs.com co-founder Rajesh Kamra, among others.

- Startups

Existing investors, Nirvana Digital India Fund, Nirvana Digital Investment Holding Co Ltd, US-based 500 Startups and Singapore's Beenext also participated in the fresh round of funding.

The company claims to have more than 7,500 shops. It mainly competes with Shopify, Zepo and Infibeam's BuildaBazaar.
KartRocket had recently launched 'Kraftly', a mobile-first O2O marketplace that is targeting small sellers, individuals and homepreneurs in India in long-tail categories such as apparel, accessories, home, crafts, and other unique and eclectic products.
"By bringing such sellers online we are building the largest supply base of unique products for buyers to choose from. The fresh investment will help us with cutting-edge product development, talent acquisition, seller eco-system development and performance marketing," said Saahil Goel, co-founder and CEO of KartRocket.
," said Pankaj Makkar, MD, Bertelsmann India Investments.
In 2014, KartRocket.com had raised $2 million in its Series A round of funding, led by Nirvana Venture Advisors, an India-focused early-stage technology fund, with participation from existing investor 500 Startups, besides Beenos Asia Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Japanese e-commerce and incubation company Netprice.
Prior to that, in 2013, it had raised an undisclosed amount in angel funding from 5ideas Startup Superfuel and 500 Startups, with participation from Jatin Aneja, partner at Amarchand Mangaldas.

Going Green in 2012
Ross Evolution LT reel going mean green. Photo – Texas Fly Caster
As part of a new push to go green in our last year of existence, I thought I would go green with some reels that fell into the box of gear that will be tried and tested this spring.
We all know what a fly reel does in fly fishing. It holds line and brings drag to bear on fighting fish. Drag. If you’ve fished with me, you’ve probably heard me preaching at you, “GO TO THE REEL!” Why not use your reel for its intended purpose, and practice going to the reel for the time you have that big one on. It makes me cringe to watch these guys on TV, stripping in big fish, only to get them close to landing and have them run through their floating line, while the personality keeps finger pressure on the line between his finger and the cork. (Insert primal scream here.)
As I have started looking toward catching larger fish, I also find the large arbor reels very efficient at picking up slack line – the easier they spin, the less effort devoted to that as well. What really did generate some small upgrades for me was drag, or the loss of functioning drag in my Orvis BBS reels. I don’t make a habit of cranking down drag, or leaving it cranked down when I put my reels away. I back off all my reel’s drags – no matter what kind they are. That habit was ineffective on the two Orvis reels I have in key sizes that I use very often. So often in fact, that I knew I would need something to replace them should I ship them off for repairs. And the silver finish on the BBS reels has to be a carp deterrent – it’s so bright and reflective. Before these reels came along, I was even considering getting into the anodizing business – just so I could get the shiny off stock store bought reels!
Ross Evolution LT4 Reel – Photo Texas Fly Caster.
THE ROSS EVOLUTION LT
First up is the Ross Evolution 4 reel. We have all read those first gear(head) reports with the second-by-second, “I waited for UPS, I opened the package, it was gleaming like a tarpon’s a&&, etc …” So, I will spare you the titillating description, and more importantly get back to you with performance updates as time moves on. The Ross is green. The finish is good, but a little more opaque than I like. It must have pretty darn good bearings because it free spins quite well. This reel is less of a wide/large arbor, and more of a straight up large arbor reel. For future reference, the drag is extremely smooth (with extra fine incremental clicks) and kicks in promptly and progresses smoothly as the drag is tightened down. Release of the spool is push button, with a smooth movement and solid clicking sound. Clean, tight inside and out.

NEXT UP TFO BVK
The Temple Forks BVK reel fell into my hands as a trade in on an extremely disappointing machined Prism reel. What a disaster that reel was, after using it only a hand full of times. Being bulked up in the larger reels, I was hoping for something to fit my TFO 4wt Finesse, and the reel prescribed to me was the I, and of course in green. I appreciate, as always, the willingness of the guys at TFO to walk me through the aisles and show me the options. Fit and finish are bright green, and the machining is more square-edged than the Ross reel, which makes for obvious style differences. The BVK reel feels good in hand, the attention to details like the TFO logo on top of the frame and the “1” and “BVK” on the stem, all add a touch of class to the reel. Inside, it looks something like the same setup on the Orvis BBS reels. The spool has a small spring loaded swing-arm-like release that is easy enough to find and engage. Removing and replacing the spools is smooth, and like the Ross, there’s no need to visually match anything up to get it to lock on. Then, there’s the drag … the first twenty-two clicks from zero drag do the same thing: nothing. Once the drag does kick in, there are plenty more clicks that actually mean something, and each one has value. It will be interesting to see how this reel handles the real world of fly fishing, but I am pretty optimistic that it will turn in good results. I kind of wish they would have covered that darn slotted screw in the drag knob with a little cap or something though. Read more details about the TFO BVK Fly Fishing reel.

If finish matters to you right out of the box, the TFO reel’s overall anodizing is brighter more even and as JH would say, “sexier” than the Ross reel. If drag matters to you, then the Ross is smarter right out of the box. If price matters, then there’s only about 25-dollars separating these two reels in the smaller sizes. If reliability and durability matter to you, you’ll just have to wait and see how this story ends. Stay tuned …

Interior design is about much more than aesthetics. A quality, intelligently designed space has the power to boost productivity, raise morale and create an environment where people want to be.

The design of a showroom or retail unit has a huge bearing on how many visitors it’s likely to attract. Meanwhile office space is known to be key to employee happiness, staff retention, business efficiency and even profitability.

On 25 May 2018, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR) comes into force and imposes further potentially significant obligations on Australian businesses.
Data security and privacy are trending topics. While the Australian Government introduced a new mandatory notification procedure for data breaches earlier this year, on 25 May 2018 the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR) comes into force and imposes further potentially significant obligations on Australian businesses. This might explain why you are receiving a constant stream of emails from international organisations updating their privacy policies.
The GDPR replaces a Data Protection Directive and existing national data protection rules in the EU and is designed to “harmonise data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens’ data privacy”. A significant change to this regime is the extended jurisdiction of the GDPR to businesses (regardless of size) that:
- Offer goods or services to individuals in the EU (irrespective of whether a payment is required);
- Monitor the behaviour of individuals in the EU, where the behaviour takes place in the EU (monitoring includes analysing a person’s personal preferences, behaviours and attitudes); or
- Have a physical presence in the EU.
While the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and the GDPR have similarities about the transparent handling of personal information, demonstrating compliance with the legislation, and data breach notification procedures, the GDPR provides a higher standard of protection and control to individuals.
Key differences to Australian legislation
- The GDPR potentially applies to a more extensive type of information. The GDPR protects “personal data” which is “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person”. The Privacy Act’s “personal information” only extends to information about an identified or identifiable individual.
- The GDPR strengthens the requirement that consent be given by individuals to the processing of their personal data. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. Consent requires a positive “opt in”. Implied consent (which is allowed under the Privacy Act) is unlikely to be sufficient – pre-ticked boxes and silence are not consent.
- Limited or restricted consent to use personal information can also be given under the GDPR and businesses must comply. The Privacy Act, however, allows businesses to use personal information they have collected for a purpose other than why the information was initially collected (the primary purpose) if individuals would reasonably expect the entity to use it for a secondary purpose and the secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose.
- The GDPR grants an express right for individuals to withdraw consent and to require the relevant business erase their personal data without undue delay (the right to be forgotten). The Privacy Act has no equivalent as businesses can keep personal information until the business itself determines it no longer needs the information.
- While the GDPR and the Privacy Act both require the notification of data breaches, the GDPR requires reporting within 72 hours whereas the Privacy Act allows up to 30 days.
- The GDPR requires businesses to carry out data protection impact assessments, appoint a data protection officer and contains specific requirements for technical security measures. The Privacy Act requires businesses to take “reasonable steps” to protect the information, allowing each business the freedom to determine what is appropriate for their organisation.
- The Privacy Act requires individuals to complain to the Privacy Commissioner to seek determinations for interferences with their privacy. Regardless of what EU national supervisory bodies might do, the GDPR allows individuals to seek compensation directly against the relevant business.
Australian businesses that have customers in the EU, target potential customers in the EU or operate in the EU should confirm whether they are covered by the GDPR to ensure compliance. Australian businesses that use service providers to process or collect data in an EU country (IT cloud services off-shore for example) may also be subject to the GDPR.
From a risk management perspective, it will be critical for Australian businesses subject to the GDPR to establish an information governance framework, including appropriate policies, processes and impact assessments.
The coming into force of the GDPR is also a good reminder that businesses generally should review their privacy obligations and whatever privacy statements exist on their websites.
Even if a company does not do business in the EU, privacy is a complex issue in a changing environment that anyone in business should stay informed about and up to date with.
For advice on whether the GDPR applies to you and the impact of the GDPR, or to organise an updated privacy policy please contact Katie Innes, Director at BAL Lawyers.

Working in administration can be a great way to utilise and build on your admin skills while earning a decent amount of cash to fund your travels.
2: Food & Beverage Industry
Cooking, waiting and bartending jobs are always in demand. Waiting and bartending is a great way to meet locals and get a feel for the vibe of the area if you are thinking about staying for longer in the country. Most employers will need you to commit to at least three months of work, especially in busy cities like Auckland and Wellington.
3: Hotel & Hostel Jobs
This is one of the key industries for backpackers looking for work in New Zealand. From cleaning hotel rooms to sitting at reception, there are always jobs available. Hostel jobs offer backpackers the opportunity to work a few hours a day in exchange for free accommodation, while hotels offer full shifts for a wage. These types of jobs are a great way to learn more about the region you are in.
4: Sales & Face-to-Face Marketing
When you have a confident personality and positive attitude, sales is a relatively easy industry to get into. Most sales and customer-facing marketing jobs offer a commission in addition to an hourly rate, so you could end up making a decent amount of money in a short time.
5: Ski Field Jobs
Working on a ski field is one of the best seasonal jobs you can get as a backpacker. You can have a unique chance to make the most of New Zealand’s amazing ski-slopes while also earning money to fund your travels. Jobs on ski fields include cooking, waiting, operating ski lifts, driving and cleaning. Skiing instructor jobs are reserved for people with the necessary experience. Due to high demand, New Zealand ski fields will expect you apply early and commit to the full ski season.
6: Construction
Construction is one of New Zealand’s most rapidly growing industries, and many building companies throughout the country are currently experiencing demand for skilled builders like never before. If you have the relevant skills and experience in building or carpentry, you can get a good short-term construction job in one of the New Zealand cities that need construction workers the most, such as Auckland and Christchurch. The length of time you will have to commit will depend on the type of construction project.
7: Tourism
Tour companies often hire young backpackers as tour guides because they reflect their clientele age and market. Working as a tour guide gives you the unique opportunity to see all the destinations that paying clients are there to see. Plus, you get to meet interesting people from all over the world.
8: Retail
Retail jobs are a common choice of work for young travellers in New Zealand. It is a great way to meet new people while also learning all about stock management, customer service and cash handling.
9: Events Industry
There are loads of casual and temporary jobs available in the events industry. Work includes everything from setting up and packing up at major events to serving food and drinks to attendees.
10: Picking Jobs
Picking work ranges from harvesting fruits and planting vegetables to sorting and packing up. Casual fruit picking work is one of the most popular backpacking jobs in New Zealand, with jobs nearly always available in peak season. As you will work in a team, it’s a great way to get to know new people and enjoy the warm weather. The peak season for fruit picking jobs in New Zealand is from summer to autumn.

2014—Glory or Gloom? Politics, the Economy, and You
This morning the CBS public affairs show Face The Nation celebrated its 60th year on TV with first program on November 7, 1954. Bob Scheiffer got Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) on the show and Reid seldom does interviews. Follow up with Congressman King (R-New York) and Congressman Matt Salmon (R-Arizona) as the debate is rising with respect to the issues of extending unemployment benefits and raising the minimum wage. Are we brushing the guardrail on the Schoenhaus Theorem?
I agree with King and Salmon that job creation should have precedence over distribution algorithms for government-sponsored unemployment. But in order to do that, you have to stop outsourcing both menial and manufacturing jobs to foreign lands. Wherever any state or the Federal Government sets the minimum wage, it can only apply in America to American workers. We cannot dictate other nations of the world comply to our standards—this explains why George Washington argued for isolationism. In a free-enterprise system both the 99% and the 1% (albeit 80-20 is what it should be) have rights, the best way to accomplish this is to raise tariffs on foreign produced goods. The problem with that is there are entire of categories of goods, such as television sets and many home electronic products, that are currently not produced at all in the United States. Before you raise tariffs, you first have to resumes state-side manufacturing—something we have to do according to the Schoenhaus Theorem, but it is far easier said than done. Unemployment is a bad thing, but it is a self-inflicted wound on the American economy dating back to early greedy industrialists like H.C. Frick and John Bayer, the monetary cost of The New Deal, and the shifting of manufacturing overseas over the last fifty years. On the one hand, we cannot turn our backs on those with no means of support. On the other hand, states and/or the Federal Government cannot pay the unemployed with money they just don’t have. Spending cuts, limited government, are Hobson’s choices and just cutting funding to Public Television, Planned Parenthood, and the like will not generate enough revenue to make a dent in the deficit. Changes in operating procedures with respect to that so called third rail of politics are pretty much inevitable and they cannot be done without somebody getting hurt so a critical, unpopular decision must be made.
As for raising the minimum wage, I differ from many of my fellow Republicans and say yes; the question is how much? While the Federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr, in my home state of Connecticut, it just went up from $8.25 to $8.70 and according to bill approved by our General Assembly, will be $9.00 even 01-01-2015. President Obama wants to raise the Federal minimum wage all the way to $10.00/hr. Sounds inviting to working class Americans, but be careful what you wish for. I have seen small pizzerias and hobby shops right here in the Naugatuck Valley where I reside (Oxford, CT) go under when the minimum wage was first raised to $8.10. Most small business owners are people persons and want to see their employees happy and do well; they usually (not always) have bigger hearts than large business owners; they just don’t have the wherewithal. The Catch-22 is they cannot just reduce their hours and stay in business so many go belly-up and not only the minimum wage employee is out of work, so is the small business owner. As for large businesses, it is a bigger invitation for them to lay off their menial employees and outsource those jobs. On the other hand, if a minimum wage employee cannot make ends meet whether they work or not, why work? You get more content unemployment recipients who ultimately become part of the Welfare system. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), said the government gets back 50 cents on every dollar it spends on unemployment compensation. This is not the case with every Welfare dollar, we get nothing back there.
It is very important that my Republican party de-emphasize being the party of no and redefine themselves as the party of not yet. We have limited resources with a $17 Trillion deficit and we are brushing the guardrail with the darkest side of the Schoenhaus Theorem, but I believe the last hope for America to recover with a balanced budget is to invest in something even though it can’t really afford it—education. We can’t raise tariffs on foreign-produced goods if there is no American competitor, it will take the rest of this century to bring back manufacturing to the level it was at the peak of the industrial era; even then it can only be a shadow of what it was due to environmental concerns; even then it can only create a shadow of the jobs it created in its hey day due to automation and robotics. If we can’t raise tariffs, we cannot dictate big business stop outsourcing as we would be infringing on their freedom; not their freedom as businessmen, their freedom as American citizens. If we invest in education and have a world class educational system from Kindergarten to College, we can diffuse the issue of whether menial jobs are done by Americans or foreign outsourcees and whether manufacturing is done by human hands at all or by robots by creating more higher-paying technical jobs; jobs of which we desperately need even in early twenty-first century America but either have to do without or outsource due to the skills gap. This will not create more assembly line jobs, but will allow the building of the robots and the writing of the computer programs that run the robots to be done by Americans. In the technological world we live in today, this is a critical precursor to the twenty-second century industrial America we are trying to conceive.
The other thing America must do, if not invest in monetarily, take a huge interest in, is small business. With those graduating college at the top of their classes not finding suitable work, and the fact that the job market will take another big hit when we are completely out of Afghanistan, our troops come home, and even the military will be facing some layoffs, this should be a no-brainer; one cannot be fired or laid off if they work for themselves. If a 4.0 GPA Computer Science major can write source code for any company in the world (or at least in the United States), why can’t he or she write source code for him or herself, and make it available for sale in other specialty businesses? Prior to the industrial revolution of the early twentieth century, America was primarily an agrarian society and a majority of the farms and plantations were privately owned—per capita there were more farm owners than farm workers (the slavery issue not withstanding). With respect to what America has become over the last three centuries, this is the direction it needs to go. Many costly social programs will become obsolete with a generation of independent owners and then and only then can the Federal Government maintain economic sanity and focus on what services the American people absolutely need.
Alas, this new American Dream is going to require the nation’s youth to dream bigger than just having a white-collar job and representing the upper end of middle class. The potential is still there. The light still shines on the hill overlooking the shining city, but it grows dimmer and dimmer and will go dark unless we act accordingly?

Loggers Seek Legislative Help to Save Maine Biomass Energy Facilities
– by Chris Facchini, January 8, 2016, WCSH
Photo: pressherald.com.”
One thing he says the state should do right away is to guarantee power contracts for renewable energy plants so they can compete with cheaper natural gas power.
That could raise costs for electricity ratepayers making it a tough sell to the LePage administration which has been working to lower energy costs.
“That’s an expensive prospect and we have to look at economics and public policy and is that the right way to promote logging and is that the right way ensure that we have low energy costs,” explained Patrick Woodcock, the Director of the State Energy Office.
“Obviously its hard to see power plants closing its also hard to see energy users closing those are balancing acts,” he said.
Doran says it would be more expensive to lose the power plants which he says generate four indirect jobs in Maine’s forest products industry for every megawatt of power they produce.
“The value that’s lost when those plants go away cannot be replaced even with cheaper sources of power like natural gas,” he said.
Woodcock did leave the door open to consider all options to help the logging industry. He also suggested that the state will look at the market for renewable energy credits in Maine and New England and see if there’s a way to help those power plants that way.

Sparks
After spending the weekend out of town with Dad Tom’s family, I wanted a Spark that represented just how happy it makes me whenever we have the opportunity to do that. As this happens infrequently, I truly do savor it, just as Cooper Murphy and Mau are savoring their time together in this photo.
I was unfamiliar with Earl Nightingale, and so I suspect most of you are unfamiliar with him as well. Nightingale was an American radio speaker and author, dealing mostly with the subjects of human character development, motivation and meaningful existence. He was born in L.A. in 1921 and served in the Marine Corps during World War II. Nightingale was the author of the motivational book, The Strangest Secret. During the early 1950s, he was the voice of Sky King, a radio adventure series hero, and was a WGN radio program host from 1950 to 1956.!”
Mau and Cooper Murphy also are joining the Awww Mondays blog hop at Comedy Plus. Click on their badge to join.

Bake the batter in two round layer cake pans, then cool and split in half horizontally to make four layers. Fill and frost top and sides with a creamy, smooth Chocolate Ganache mixture you can make in a jiffy in the microwave oven with semisweet chocolate and whipping cream. Be sure to allow plenty of time for the ganache to set up to a good spreading consistency in the refrigerator. Garnish the cake sides with chocolate sprinkles like the restaurant – or for a change of pace, try chopped toasted almonds or pecans. Once assembled, store the cake in the fridge.
Chocolate Fudge Cake
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup boiling water
• Chocolate Ganache (recipe follows)
Chocolate sprinkles (optional) OR chopped toasted almonds OR pecans
In a large mixer bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat in eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat 2 minutes on medium speed. On lowest speed (to avoid spattering), beat in boiling water (batter will be thin) until well blended.
Pour into 2 greased 9-inch round layer cake pans, dividing evenly.
Bake in preheated 350-degree oven about 30 to 33 minutes or until cakes test done. Cool in pans 15 to 20 minutes, then remove to racks to cool completely.
When cool, with a long serrated knife, cut each layer in half horizontally. Spread a layer of Chocolate Ganache over bottom layer and over tops of 2 more cake layers and stack together on a large serving plate. Place remaining cake layer on top of cake stack. Frost top and sides of cake with Chocolate Ganache. Press chocolate sprinkles or nuts into ganache around sides of cake, if desired. Refrigerate cake until serving time. Makes 1 (9-inch) cake.
Chocolate Ganache
• 4 cups semisweet chocolate chips (2 (12-ounce) packages)
• 2 cups whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons butter, cut up
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
In a large microsafe bowl or measure, combine chocolate chips and whipping cream.
Heat on high (100 percent) power in microwave oven 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Remove from microwave, stirring until chocolate is melted and mixture is well blended. Add butter and vanilla stirring until butter is melted and mixture is well blended.
Cool in refrigerator, stirring occasionally, until of good spreading consistency to spread over cake layers. Use to fill and frost top and sides of a 4-layer 9-inch cake.

The Background
Arcane opened its doors to the public in November 2014 and, since then, has stayed true to the definition behind the name: understood by few; obscure; mysterious; secret. This quiet refuge is the creation and first solo venture of Shane Osborn, the first Australian chef to be awarded one and two Michelin stars during his time as head chef and co-owner of Pied-a-Terre in London.

The Ambience
Consisting of a 36-seat dining room filled with modern decor and intriguing artwork, an 18-seat outdoor garden terrace reminiscent of a lush English garden, and a bustling open kitchen, the entire space is very intimate. Considering you are mere meters away from the busy streets of the city, the majority of the noise you hear comes from chatty diners, clinking tableware, and the fires of passion in the kitchen. If you’re feeling nosey, or simply want to know more about the food, you can even perch at the bar overlooking the kitchen and chat with Shane himself, who can be seen working diligently behind the scenes.

The Food
You can expect modern European cuisine of a high caliber from this discreet restaurant. The menu comprises six starters, six mains, five desserts, a set business lunch and a number of vegetarian options too. It is a conservative menu, but you can be assured that the dishes pack a punch. With ingredients sourced from Japan, the UK, France and Australia – as well as Shane’s own vegetable garden – you will never grow weary of the dishes available as they change with the seasons.

The Japanese fruit tomato with homemade ricotta, pine nuts, arugula and sherry vinegar is moorish to say the least. Doubling up as a starter or a vegetarian alternative, this dish is fresh and the tomato surprisingly sweet. It is not too heavy, making it perfect for keeping you cool in the summer heat.
Additionally, the raw Hokkaido scallops come highly recommended as a starter. This fresh seafood dish is served with a smoky eel mousse, as well as delicate chunks of celery and walnut that add a slight crunch to an otherwise soft dish. A wonderful combination of taste and texture.

Another seafood dish, available as the main course, is a succulent, melt-in-your-mouth monkfish roasted on the bone. It is served with lentils, morteau sausage (a traditional smoked sausage from France), spring onions and baby gem lettuce. It is impossible to feel guilty about dining out when you’re served food such as this.
The presentation of every dish is as delicate as the food itself, making it almost too beautiful to dig a fork into.
The Dessert
The most important part of any meal for those with a sweet tooth. One thing can be said for sure: the dark chocolate tart is to die for. Not only is the tart rich (though not overwhelmingly so) and smooth in taste and texture respectively, but is also served with a unique Guinness ice cream that is sinfully delightful and light.

Overall
Whether you’re dining solo or with company, Arcane is a great venue for a treat within the midst of the city, with outstanding service and a smile to boot. Prices are high, but for the exceptional standard of food served it is worth it. Plus, with the seasonal menu changes, there will always be some exciting combination of flavors and textures to explore.

Homage.
We moved forward and saw the building, sitting like a nest among the apple trees, blending in the landscape in a very touching way. I was watching everything, everywhere, awake, noticing the few changes, but above all feeling the pregnancy of nature all around. We went down a few steps and stood in the entrance. A plaque had been erected on the wall: “The Krishnamurti Centre, 1986”. Memories flooded again. It was the year of my first trip to India, I had been thrown into the arms of ancient Varanasi, where for a timeless moment, the sky of consciousness had opened wide on me. There, a friend had presented me with a copy of the magazine ‘Indian Newsweek’. One particular article drew my attention, it opened with these words: “Jiddu Krishnamurti, the religious philosopher and teacher, died of cancer yesterday at his residence at the Krishnamurti Foundation in Ojai, Calif. He was 90 years old.” There was a picture that was presented as the last one of Krishnamurti, with his hair loose in the wind of Adyar Beach, in Madras. Two years later, I was accepted as one of the staff members in Brockwood Park – Krishnamurti’s school in Hampshire, England, only a hundred yards away from where we stood – working as a cook in the Centre. Just as we opened the door, I looked at my two friends and my eyes told them something like: Let me now show you this most beautiful place, where I once worked and was steeped in this man’s unique teaching.
Jiddu Krishnamurti was born in 1895 in Madanapalle, a small town of Andhra Pradesh, in south India. When he was only only thirteen, playing on the grounds of the Theosophical Society in Madras, where his father worked, the high ranked theosophist C. W. Leadbeater noticed the beauty of his aura and foresaw that the young boy would one day become the ‘World Teacher’, the new messiah that all the members of the Society were expecting. He was sent to England to be educated and was, for the years to come, enrolled and prepared to fulfil his followers’ expectations. A new organisation, the ‘Order of the Star of the East’, was created with Krishnamurti at his head. Under the wing of the Theosophical Society, accompanied by his beloved younger brother Nitya, he began travelling the world, delivering sermons. When he was 28, Krishnamurti underwent an ‘intense spiritual experience’ that lasted for three days, in Ojai, the place in California where he would later have his home. It was a turning point in his life. Ater the death of his brother three years later, he became tired and in disbelief of the ways of the Society. In 1929, he gathered the three thousand members of the ‘Order of the Star’ in Holland and announced the dissolution of all organisations set around him, pronouncing these famous organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.” For the next 60 years, Krishnamurti travelled the world over, giving talks, meeting with countless people, describing to all his first hand discovery, a way of living that is wholly, totally fresh, untouched by conditioning, and infused with sacredness.
As we were strolling inside the Centre, the beauty and simplicity of the place made a strong impression. It had been designed by Keith Critchlow, an architect specialised in sacred buildings. Everything here carried meaning and thoughtful organisation. The Centre is a place for retreats, set to provide a quiet environment for the guests who come here to study Krishnamurti’s teaching. In the library, we checked randomly some of the books aligned on the shelves. Deeply evocative titles like ‘The First and Last Freedom’, ‘Freedom from the Known’, ‘The Ending of Time’, ‘The Impossible Question’, ‘The Future is Now’. K, or Krishnaji, as he was affectionately called, had set his Teachings outside all religious traditions or spiritual paths, refusing the Indian concept of guru. He spoke in an austere, investigative way, punctuating his speech with some affectionate or eager “Please kindly pay attention.”, “Are you doing this?“, or “…but you do not have it yet, do not run away with the smell of a perfume.” He warned again and again: “Truth must be discovered, but there is no formula for its discovery. What is formulated is not true. You must set out on the uncharted sea, and the uncharted sea is yourself. You must set out to discover yourself.” The books indicated another strong inclination of his. This is his love for scientific investigation and dialogues. Over the years, he spoke with a number of famous scientists, like the renowned physicist David Bohm, the author and biologist Rupert Sheldrake, who developed the new concept of ‘morphic resonance’, and Jonas Salk, who discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines, but also the professor of philosophy Dr. Allan W. Anderson, Pupul Jayakar, who was an Indian cultural activist and writer, and the psychiatrist Dr Shainberg.

“We generally start with the farthest—the supreme principle, the greatest ideal, and get lost in some hazy dream of imaginative thought. But when you start very near, with the nearest, which is you, then the whole world is open.”
(‘The Whole Movement of Life is Learning’, Ch. 19)
We decided to go in the ‘quiet room’, the room that Krishnamurti wanted to be the very heart of the centre: “It should be like a fountain filling the whole place. That room should be the central flame; it is like a furnace that heats the whole place.” We spent there a timeless moment, and were lead to this placeless place, this true self that K described in countless ways, pushing us to look, observe, see for ourselves, that beyond the intricacies of our deeply ingrained conditioning lies something indescribable, a freedom, a happiness that is beyond self-improvement. Patiently, thoroughly, tirelessly, he showed us the importance of being choicelessly aware in order to bring down our person’s defences. “The self must cease through awareness of its own limitation, the falseness of its own existence.” The silence deepened.

So we listened to ourselves…

“We seek happiness through things, through relationship, through thoughts, ideas. So things, relationship, and ideas become all-important and not happiness. When we seek happiness through something, then the thing becomes of greater value than happiness itself.”
(‘The Book of Life’, July 5th, 1994)
“It is extremely difficult to be aware of dullness, to be aware of greed, to be aware of ill-will, ambition, and so on. The very fact of being aware of ‘what ‘what is’. But one’s mind, one’s whole being, becomes extraordinarily creative, passively alert, when one understands the significance of ending, because in ending there is renewal, while in continuity there is death, there is decay.“
(‘The First and Last Freedom’, p.265)
. … And when you have perceived, you leave it, forget it, because the next minute you have to perceive anew, which is again the final step.”

“The sadness of life is this –
the emptiness that we try to fill
with every conceivable trick of the mind.”
~ J. Krishnamurti
“Without experiencing the essence there is no beauty. Beauty is not merely in the outward things or in inward thoughts, feelings and ideas; there is beauty beyond this thought and feeling. It’s this essence that is beauty. But this beauty has no opposite.”

The time came for us to have lunch, meet with old friends, share with guests around the table, and have tea while admiring the beautiful courtyard next to the dining hall. There was a fountain there, with letters carved all around that said: “We are the world and the world is us”. We had arranged to meet in the school at 4pm, where a student would show us around. What a wonderful day! We decided to go for a walk, as it was a splendid afternoon. We strolled along the meadow beyond the south lawn of the school. The old creamy building was in sight, originally a seventeenth century manor, with its red brick tower by its side. What a magnificent view from here, with the aged symbolic cedar tree standing with such pure lines of perfection. The whole thing was teeming with peace and beauty. We arrived in front of a small squeaky gate, opened it, and entered paradise. This place, called ‘the grove’, was planted with rhododendron bushes, trees, among them a few tall sequoias. The ground was covered with rhododendrons’ petals. It was a place we barely dared to walk on. It was a place for meditation and a sense of sacredness radiated all around us. Krishnamurti loved this place. Nature had always been for him something he had the highest veneration for, as it is attested in many of his writings. His exquisite descriptions of nature, that you can find in some of his books, are a testimony to his looking at the world in a way that is always new and fresh, uncontaminated by thoughts, by the past. They are an exemple of a non-dual apprehension of life, of nature, and of the thousands happenings.

(Krishnamurti’s Notebook, November 17th)
Again the time came to see yet another beloved place: the school. Krishnamurti had understood very early the importance of creating places where students could, in his words, “flower in goodness”. He founded five schools in India, among them ‘Rishi Valley School’ in 1926 and ‘Rajghat Besant School’ in 1934 in Varanasi, ‘Oak Grove School’ in Ojai California and ‘Brockwood Park’ in England, founded in 1969. As soon as we entered, I was again filled with emotions. What contrast with the Centre! This was the home for about seventy students coming from twenty-five different nationalities, all aged from 14 to 19 years old. The energy was palpable. This was a place for learning and freedom. A young student from Australia welcomed us. With her guidance, we visited the wonderful kitchen, the sitting room, some of the classrooms, the library, the art barn, the music studio, the big organic vegetable garden. Krishnamurti wanted the children to grow in an environment of leisure, where students and staff members alike could live and learn together. He wanted to educate the whole human being and provide a place devoid of society’s hindrances and pressures that limit the growth of the child. Every student here owns his or her own personal cursus and timetable. Numbers per class are kept small, and students are encouraged to reflect on themselves and the world with beautifully designed courses like ‘Inquiry Time’, ‘Human Ecology’, ‘Arts & Crafts’, ‘Humanities’ plus any other topics that the staff has knowledge about. Creativity is encouraged as much as academic excellence. Care for nature and the environment is put forward. Proper care of the body and physical exercices are given high importance too. Students who want to pursue their studies at university are given the proper courses and pass the A-level exams. Above all, children get to know and pursue what they really love to do, have a passion or skill for, and are given the means to pursue it, for example through projects.

Now slowly walking back to the parking, we reflected about this unique day spent in Brockwood Park and about what trust and vision were needed to embark in creating such places around the world. Although my two friends had no knowledge and preconceptions about the place, they have felt its unique presence, they have been deeply touched and impressed by it, to a point I had not envisaged. For me, it has been a day like you have in your life once every ten years. The place overwhelmed me with its beauty and energy. These hours spent here had been fresh, new. Even meeting again with some of my old friends had a quality of something that had no past. The necessity of seeing everything afresh, anew, without the distorting glasses of the past, is what Krishnamurti had stressed and hammered in countless talks and dialogues all his life. This day had given us yet another glimpse, or taste, of a way of living that is beyond all concepts, all ideas, all imitations, all limitations. This was a day infused with freedom and happiness.
