Transport for groups to and from the Hamburg Airport can be difficult to organise. Not only the many passengers cause a problem, but also the transportation of their luggage. Very few private people have the type of vehicle needed to accommodate a large group together with their luggage. In such a case, the alternatives for the group are to travel to the airport in the Airport Bus Hamburg, or with other types of public transport. This also solves the problem of looking for a parking place and also reduces overall costs. However, this kind of transfer may not be very comfortable.
Not only groups can benefit from a professional transfer service. If you want to experience the best possible comfort when transferring from the airport to your hotel in Hamburg and back, then your best option is the high-class automobiles offered from limousine service Hamburg. The vehicles offered are the latest models with the most luxurious fittings; and, experienced chauffeurs are waiting to make your trip as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Spread out and make yourself comfortable on the luxurious back seat of a limousine. During your ride, spend the time organizing your work schedule or simply take in the sights instead of driving your own rental car or sitting in a cramped taxi. Arrive relaxed and refreshed at the airport.
The chauffeur of a limousine is much more than just a driver. Due to the fact that the chauffeurs know Hamburg inside out, they will be able to adjust the route to suit your needs and also give valuable tips about the city and its sightseeing attractions. Furthermore, they will also make sure that the limousine is always in impeccable condition and that comfort is of the highest standard.
Instead of a shuttle at airport Hamburg you are interested in airports in Germany, the limousine or our limousine service in Hamburg.

We are appealing for information after a sheep was attacked by a dog at the weekend.
The attack happened on Saturday 15th July on Black Hill. Following the attack the owners fled the scene with the dog and the Malvern Hills trust are now working with the Police to identify them.
Despite clear signs warning dog owners that livestock were present and advice that dogs should be be kept on leads in this area, the dog involved in the attack was off the lead.
One of this year's lambs suffered a severe bite to the neck which required veterinary treatment.
A member of the public saw the incident and caught the dog to bring it under control. A MHT warden was also on the scene shortly after the attack however the dog owners refused to speak to the warden and walked away.
Dog attacks on sheep are distressing for all parties including the graziers and the dog owners. In addition it is a criminal offence to allow a dog to worry, includes chasing, or attack livestock and the police may be involved.
Signs are clearly placed on the gates of the grazing compartments on the Malvern Hills to alert walkers that livestock are present. The locations of these temporary grazing enclosures are available here and are also included in the Malvern Gazette each week.
The Hills and Commons are registered common land and visitors should expect to see cattle and sheep anywhere at any time. Cattle and sheep are an essential part of the management of the Hills and Commons.

The Sun's activity is determined by the Sun's magnetic field. Two combined effects are responsible for the latter: The omega and the alpha effect. Exactly where and how the alpha effect originates is currently unknown. Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) are putting forward a new theory for this in the journal Solar Physics. Their calculations suggest that tidal forces from Venus, the Earth and Jupiter can directly influence the Sun's activity.
Many questions regarding the Sun's magnetic field are still unanswered. "As with the Earth, we are dealing with a dynamo. Through self-excitation, a magnetic field is created from virtually nothing, whereby the complex movement of the conductive plasma serves as an energy source," says the physicist Dr. Frank Stefani from HZDR. The Sun's so-called alpha-omega dynamo is subject to a regular cycle. Approximately every eleven years the polarity of the Sun's magnetic field is reversed, with solar activity peaking with the same frequency. This manifests itself in an increase in sunspots - dark patches on the Sun's surface which originate from strongly concentrated magnetic fields.
"If you only just give a swing small pushes, it will swing higher with time," as Frank Stefani explains the principle of resonance. He and his team discovered in recent calculations that the alpha effect is prone to oscillations under certain conditions. "The impulse for this alpha-oscillation requires almost no energy. The planetary tides could act as sufficient pace setters for this." The so-called Tayler instability plays a crucial role for the resonance of the Sun's dynamo. It always arises when a strong enough current flows through a conductive liquid or a plasma. Above a certain strength, the interaction of the current with its own magnetic field generates a flow - in the case of the colossal Sun, a turbulent one.
It is generally understood that the solar dynamo relies on the interaction of two induction mechanisms. Largely undisputed is the omega effect, which originates in the tachocline. This is the name of a narrow band between the Sun's inner radiative zone and the outer areas in which convection takes place, where heat is transported using the movement of the hot plasma. In the tachocline, various, differentially rotating areas converge. This differential rotation generates the so-called toroidal magnetic field in the form of two "life belts" situated north and south of the solar equator.
There is significant lack of clarity regarding the position and cause of the alpha effect, which uses the toroidal field to create a poloidal field - the latter running along the Sun's lines of longitude. According to a prevalent theory, the alpha effect's place of origin is near the sunspots, on the Sun's surface. The Dresden researchers have chosen an alternative approach which links the alpha effect to the right- or left-handedness of the Tayler instability. In turn, the Tayler instability arises due to strongly developed toroidal fields in the tachocline. "That way we can essentially also locate the alpha effect in the tachocline," says Frank Stefani.
The scientists surrounding Frank Stefani have been researching magnetic fields in the cosmos and on Earth for many years. They were also the first group in the world to successfully prove both the Tayler instability and the magnetorotational instability in laboratory experiments. In 1999, the specialists in magnetohydrodynamics were also involved in the first demonstration of the homogeneous dynamo effect in Riga.
"Interestingly, we stumbled upon the Tayler instability in the context of our research into new liquid-metal batteries, which are currently being investigated as possible inexpensive storage containers for the strongly fluctuating solar energy," explains Frank Stefani. The fundamental principle of liquid-metal batteries is extremely simple. It consists of two liquid metals of differing densities - the electrodes - which are only separated by a thin layer of salt. The benefits are an extremely quick charging time, an (at least theoretically) infinite number of charging cycles and low costs, if a battery which is one square meter in size can successfully be produced. "For these batteries, the Tayler instability poses a serious danger because it inevitably arises when the cells get bigger and bigger. Without certain technological tricks, which we have already patented, the Tayler instability would destroy the battery's stratification," adds Stefani.

This is the final entry in the 2017 “Reformation Relevance” series.
The first of the Bible studies, “Justifying Christmas,” will be available in mid-November.
Congregations still may arrange screenings of “Martin Luther: The Idea that Changed the World” at local theaters.
Here’s a list of events planned by LCMS congregations, districts and schools to celebrate the special observance.
Read how a Christian’s death “is the beginning of life” in this excerpt from Martin Luther’s “Fourteen Consolations” of 1520.
In the preface to his published German writings, Martin Luther explains why people should concentrate especially on reading the Bible.
The article upon which the Church stands or falls is the doctrine of justification. It is the chief article of Christian doctrine.
An excerpt from a sermon by Martin Luther emphasizes how central the resurrection of Christ is for faith and for the comfort of all Christians.
The new book is the seventh in Concordia Publishing House’s “Lutheranism 101” series and is on sale through March 27.

In this YouTube video Jeremy Crow discusses the distinction between the Left Hand Path and the Right Hand Path in spirituality. Due to the nature of activity involved in martial arts coaching, adults will notice enhancements in cardio and anaerobic fitness. We call it HEMA, Historic European Martial Arts and lots of groups root their research into the context of Christian Chivalry. That is the over-arching query that the Data and Art Hackathon will exploreduring the primary local occasion co-hosted with a non-revenue arts organization, the West Windsor Arts Council. The weekly attendance charge (we referred to as it a subscription) was set to pay the rental assuming a median weekly attendance.
Acting as ushers at the Arts Group Expo is a whole lot of enjoyable – to show you what we get up to, here is a video for you to relive final years action. There are many issues to think about when choosing a martial arts class for a kid, but when an teacher is effectively skilled and an individual of integrity, then it issues less what style he’s instructing because he/she has so much helpful to share. Crafts are great usually, however the one thing that makes crafting better is saving cash and saving the planet by recycling what you already have. One of the most effective martial arts seminars I ever attended was filled with blackbelts.
Ironically, children now are probably writing extra now than we ever did, by means of texting, electronic mail and feedback. Kids can craft masquerade masks for New Year’s eve celebration fun and wear them to First Night celebrations, New Year’s eve parties or to your January 1 family get together. The initiatives described below converse to the subject of holistic practices in group arts that may be built-in into inexperienced job training packages.
I now share my passion with you and hope you take pleasure in these great over the rainbow arts and crafts! Turnaround Arts is a public-personal partnership led by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities in partnership with the White House, U.S. Department of Education, and several non-public foundations. Even things like conventional and modern creative arts (painting, poetry, music, ceremony, movie making, dance, etc…) can, and often do involve the deep and sincere explorations of the broken and refused. The foremost function of martial arts on the whole is to not do fight with one other martial artist. He determined to take what he knew from his martial arts coaching, regulation enforcement expertise, and his Christianity and formulate a new American martial artwork. This could explain why some people don’t appreciate arts as a lot as others, and why our sensitivity to the fantastic arts changes with time throughout our lives.
Most of the crafts I make are aimed toward other grownup craftaholics like me and I’ve included many of my own tutorials on this page in addition to the perfect picks from what other persons are making too. Our first cease was 912 Grandville where Steffanie Rosalez, the curator of the set up who is the Cook Arts Center’s program director, facilitated a dialogue with the scholars about creative which means. Plus, I use martial arts to get out of wheel chairs – that’s not exiting enough for some, especially with MMA matches hauling in some huge cash. Whilst I’d argue that there is a large part for culture and the arts to play in exploring human wellbeing, it still sounds like a medical prescription to me, and one which’s all wrapped up within the language of illness and individualism.

"Caenorhabditis elegans pseudouridine synthase 1 activity in vivo: tRNA is a substrate, but not U2 small nuclear RNA."
Published 2003-06-01 in Biochem J volume 372 .
The formation of pseudouridine (Psi) from uridine is post-transcriptional and catalysed by pseudouridine synthases, several of which have been characterized from eukaryotes. Pseudouridine synthase 1 (Pus1p) has been well characterized from yeast and mice. In yeast, Pus1p has been shown to have dual substrate specificity, modifying uridines in tRNAs and at position 44 in U2 small nuclear RNA (U2 snRNA). In order to study the in vivo activity of a metazoan Pus1p, a knockout of the gene coding for the homologue of Pus1p in Caenorhabditis elegans was obtained. The deletion encompasses the first two putative exons and includes the essential aspartate that is required for activity in truA pseudouridine synthases. The locations of most modified nucleotides on small RNAs in C. elegans are not known, and the positions of Psi were determined on four tRNAs and U2 snRNA. The uridine at position 27 of tRNA(Val) (AAC), a putative Pus1p-modification site, was converted into Psi in the wild-type worms, but the tRNA(Val) (AAC) from mutant worms lacked the modification. Psi formation at positions 13, 32, 38 and 39, all of which should be modified by other pseudouridine synthases, was not affected by the loss of Pus1p. The absence of Pus1p in C. elegans had no effect on the modification of U2 snRNA in vivo, even though worm U2 snRNA has a Psi at position 45 (the equivalent of yeast U2 snRNA position 44) and at four other positions. This result was unexpected, given the known dual specificity of yeast Pus1p.

A native of Karachi, Dr. Haris returned home in summer 2015 after 16 years abroad during which he completed his graduate studies at Texas A&M University and subsequently held faculty appointments at Texas A&M University in Qatar , the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Alfaisal University (in Riyadh KSA) and Dhofar University (in Salalah Oman).
At Habib University, Dr. Haris is currently responsible for developing and teaching university electives in Introduction to Philosophy (fall 2015) and Tragic Philosophy (spring 2016) while also delivering instruction in team-taught courses in the Liberal Core, namely Rhetoric & Communication (fall 2015) and What is Modernity? (spring 2016). With combined expertise in philosophy and engineering, Dr. Haris is passionate about exploring the ethical, social, cultural and environmental implications of scientific and technological practice, and he has taught extensively in areas such as Science, Technology, and Society Studies; Engineering Ethics; Biomedical Ethics; Ethics of Emerging Technologies; and Philosophy of Technology. Dr. Haris’ niche area of expertise is philosophy and tragedy where he employs a dialectical conception of the tragic to explore themes of incommensurability, crisis and strife in politics, culture, ethics, and technology. He is particularly interested in using the idea of the tragic as philosophical lens for understanding and explaining problems of irreconcilable differences, failure of cultural institutions, and the crisis of ethical citizenship and constitutional identity formation in Pakistan and the broader “Muslim” world.

Despite the fact that the Silhouette Corvette looks dubiously like a Corvette all things considered, it is, truth be told, more tubing than it is Chevrolet.
The only difference is that this model is unmistakably fast, powered by a 358ci small block Chevy counterbalance somewhat to the driver’s appropriate for enhanced weight dissemination.
The motor is mounted exceptionally far back, and is, actually, in accordance with the lowest point of the gearbox. The SBC, forcibly fed by two turbochargers, makes 1,000 drive easily at 14 pounds of boost, and uses 4 wastegates altogether. This is because the turbochargers have double contributions to request to get longer time between exhaust beats in each input.
In spite of the massive measure of warmth in the engine bay, they don’t run an intercooler to spare weight and permit pivotal wind current over the exhaust, which is covered to keep water from the road reaching it. Rather, the motor uses a liquor water infusion to stay cool.
With all the tubing to give custom front and backsides, Speedlab mounted the engine altogether behind the front wheels for a 46-54% front-rear weight dissemination. The pushrod suspension utilizes custom Ohlins coilivers, and the AP Racing brakes, with the aid of slicks measuring 13″ wide in front and 14″ in the back, mean mind blowing halting powers. It just shows signs of improvement at speed, as well—and the A-arms and uprights are intended for tremendous levels of downforce—which is a huge piece of what makes Silhouette Corvette such a monster.
Not only does a front diffuser exit from behind the front wheels, yet that monstrous back diffuser, combined with the a back wing which could serve as an open air table for a big family, make this an exceptionally sticky thing at speed. The back wing utilizes “swan neck” style mounts, punched brimming with holes loaded with balsa wood, for decreased weight and turbulence. All together, the air components make 1,700 pounds of downforce appropriated equally on the two axles of the .
Truth be told, because the enormous loading on tires, Speedlab set a couple of sets of rubberc, and endured one heartbreaking wheel disappointment that could’ve finished in tears. Luckily, the Silhouette Corvette could stop itself before crashing, yet it pushed Speedlab to reaching a Swedish organization known for assembling wheels utilized for NASCAR and breathed a sigh of relief.
With an aluminum engine set up, the pared-down racer measures an astounding 2,200 pounds—and that obviously appears in how anxious it is. Not only should driver Erik Blixt utilize subtle steegin inputs to not over-drive the delicate Corvette, but rather he needs to tread precisely on the throttle to abstain from turning the 14″ slicks down a large portion of the front straightaway. Despite the fact that it’s agile and responsive, there’s as yet a component of ludicrousness and genuine muscle hiding underneath the sparkling Gulf attire.
Here it is the 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition!

Mobile devices today live and die by the Apps they have. Gone are the days when one used a mobile device to make phone calls, have a contact/address book and keep a calendar. The iPhone changed all that. If one has a mobile device, say a cool smart Phone, users will only want to use the device if there are cool Apps, in fact 1000s of Apps to choose from. Else, the device will die!
Microsoft, with its Windows 8 Surface device and the Windows Phone has this very problem – a cool set of devices, but very few Apps. Microsoft will not release official numbers, but a consultant who works with Microsoft technologies tells me that more Apps are submitted to the Apple App store every month, than there are Windows 8 Apps in the entire Microsoft App store, period. So, Microsoft is on a war effort to drive App development for Windows 8 Apps. They are doing free online webinars, giving free tools (MSDN) and even holding free classes (dinner included) in local Microsoft stores.
But what is a Windows 8 App and how is it different from a legacy Windows desktop application? Windows desktop Apps have been around for years and quite frankly, windows still rules the PC market, especially in enterprises. The key difference is the new Windows Runtime (WinRT) platform. This is a new platform with its new capabilities for touch devices and other mobile capabilities. The old platform is what is known as the Win32 API. This API is what allows traditional desktop apps to communicate with the OS. The new WinRT platform includes APIs specific to mobile/touch devices. Remember, many new PCs are touch devices too. The good news is that WinRT will be a common platform, with a common API across the Windows 8 PC, Windows 8 RT (that runs on the Surface device), the Windows 8 Phone and the Xbox. This of course, is a big plus for developers as they can really develop once and deploy across all operating systems by Microsoft. Furthermore, traditional/desktop windows applications that use the Win32 API can also use the WinRT API to access touch capabilities. Another big difference between Win32 and WinRT is that WinRT is written in C++, making it Object Oriented in its behavior and interactions with Apps. Win32 was written in C.
A note about the Surface tablet. The current Surface only runs Windows 8 RT. So, it can only run WinRT Apps. It does not run desktops or Win32 Apps. Microsoft has announced a Surface Pro device that will run the full PC version of Windows 8, just like a PC, that can run Win32 and WinRT apps.
In terms of development, WinRT also changes the install process for Windows app radically. WinRT takes apps in a single file install, just like Android and iOS. No more installers that put files in folders all over the hard drive!
XAML is another new capability introduces recently by Microsoft. It is a language focused primary for design. Designers can now use a tool call Blend to design Apps and it integrates with Visual Studio, allowing developers and designers to collaborate. This is a great move by Microsoft, as design and UX is critical to the success of mobile Apps.
Will this be a winning strategy from Microsoft to get developers on board? Do Android and iOS finally have competition? Time will tell. In the meanwhile, I installed Windows 8 in a VM and am running it on my MacBook Air (It blazes). Will be trying out some Apps from the Store. More to come.
What is a Mobile Device after all?

JOHANNESBURG – The Public Protector’s CIEX report, where Absa was ordered to pay more than one billion rand, has been set aside by the High Court in Pretoria.
Absa, the Reserve Bank and Treasury challenged Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s report into the apartheid era bail-out, claiming it was procedurally unfair and rested on material errors of fact and law.
The Public Protector had claimed that her remedial action was merely a recommendation.
The court has set aside her report and awarded costs to Absa.

Using the World Travel & Tourism Council’s (WTTC) annual economic impact data, this position paper assesses the importance of domestic travel to 185 countries, considers the trends driving this phenomenon and provides policy recommendations for the continued growth of domestic travel in the global economy.
While countries often tend to focus on international tourism due to the revenue earned through exports, domestic tourism remains the leading form of tourism, representing 73% of the total global tourism spend in 2017.
Governments use domestic tourism as a tool to eliminate local poverty, generate employment and economic growth, upgrade infrastructure and alleviate pressure from overcrowding through, for instance, discretionary pricing policies and the provision of non-wage tourism benefits. Moreover, domestic travel helps address seasonality within regions, while also dispersing tourists to less visited rural areas, which tend to be overlooked by foreign visitors.
Our research shows that China has been extremely successful in fostering domestic tourism, outperforming all other countries in domestic spending growth over the last ten years thanks to its growing middle-class and government support. China is now the leading domestic tourism market in the world, up from 4th position in 2008.
Meanwhile, many developing countries have also shown significant growth in Travel & Tourism domestic spending, as residents with rising disposable income begin to explore their countries.
Using WTTC’s annual economic impact data, this position paper assesses the importance of domestic travel to 185 countries, considers the trends driving this phenomenon and provides policy recommendations for the continued growth of domestic travel in the global economy.
Utilizando los datos de impacto económico anual de WTTC, este documento evalúa la importancia de los viajes domésticos en 185 países, considera las tendencias que impulsan este fenómeno y proporciona recomendaciones de políticas públicas para el crecimiento continuo de los viajes domésticos en la economía global.

This post is by Chamber Project Artistic Director and clarinetist, Dana. What does it take to put together an entire season? The only way to find out is to do it!
We've got ten concerts, six programs, 18 pieces, 17 musicians, six venues (and a kitchen sink) all ready to go starting September 14th! This is our 5th Season, and by far our biggest and best one yet. Our concerts this year are filled with fantastic pieces, and we're really proud of the combinations we've put together (otherwise known as 'programming'). We've got a lot of musicians who are new to us and new to St. Louis this year. We will perform a number of pieces that we believe to be St. Louis premieres, along with some some old favorites - you're not going to want to miss any of this!
When we started Chamber Project, we had no idea that we had no idea what we were doing. We've pushed ourselves and each other to learn new skills, to take risks and to be better musicians. We love music and we wanted to share it, so we kept going, even when we didn't know where exactly it was going.
Preparing and organizing this season has challenged us to be more creative, and more daring than we've been before. As I pondered what to say in this first blog about this season, I was once again struck by how much being a musician can prepare you for just about anything. As I thought about it, I realized that the skills you need to be an excellent musician are the same skills you need to start and run a non-profit arts organization. Even though every step of this has seemed new to us, our training as musicians prepared us more than we realized.
I jotted down a few of the key elements that jumped out for me about what this all takes. Maybe you'll find a little inspiration here, so I thought I'd share them.
COLLABORATION. Real collaboration. Which means not always being right and not always getting what you want. Trusting that the people might have a better idea than you do. This is true in playing music, and in anything else that requires more than just you to happen.
PATIENCE. This is a big one. The patience to practice the same thing over and over, the patience to wait while you build a skill on your instrument. Working together to create concerts requires a ton of patience. Waiting for someone to respond to something you think is urgent, waiting for the right ideas to come, the right people to sign on to your programs. Waiting for your slow internet to load the pictures into this blog.
PERSEVERANCE. Just keep at it. Keep practicing, keep following your heart to do what you love, even when it's a struggle. If it's on your instrument, or learning how to use Excel, or researching composers to find the piece that is just the right fit with that other one. Just keep trying.
And back to the MLK quote. It takes FAITH. Faith in the belief that music matters. That art matters. That through music, we are all able to be a little more human, to have fuller, richer lives. That all of this effort, all of this passion matters. We believe it does.
We hope you'll come to as many concerts as you can this year. We could not be more excited about what this season has to offer! We kick things off on September 14th with a program we're calling "YOUTH".
If you want to know more, check out our website: www.chamberprojectstl.org or visit our Facebook events page.
And on this blog, we're going to continue the 'Inside the Music' posts about each program, where you learn about the music before the concert from the musicians who are playing the concert. We're also going to introduce you to more of our musicians and have some guest bloggers. So stay tuned!
Jen here, flutist from Chamber Project St. Louis.
I have a bit of a a love/hate relationship with the concept of nostalgia. There are certain songs that get me every single time even though they really aren't very good. Madonna's "This Used To Be My Playground" = Jen in a big puddle on the floor. Green Day's "Time of Your Life," oh man, just get me a kleenex in advance. I am not sure if I am scared that the best days are behind me (can we say mid-life crisis at 32?), or if I just appreciate those great times gone by. I am going to go with the latter.
It has been a little over a week since our final Chamber Project concert of the season, just enough time to pull back and get a little perspective. Final things always seems like a whirlwind. Graduations, weddings, funerals, transitions in general can be kind of stressful. I am going to be forthright and honest by telling you the end of CPSTL's Season 4 felt a little like a tornado. Good, but slightly tornadic. I am not sure if it is a contradiction to be "slightly" tornadic, but let's go with it. Going non-profit has required us start planning subsequent seasons much farther in advance and getting ten people in rehearsals is well...challenging.
Looking back at the rest of the season has taught me a few things. I get kind of annoyed when people insist that you should learn something from everything in life. I don't always think you have to learn something from a failed relationship, or a great vacation, or an instructional exercise video. Some of these things I may have already known, but perhaps needed a gentle reminder.
Embrace growth: We are growing. I mean really, really growing. More musicians, more audience, more performances, and Laura even grew a baby.... Sometimes, the growth can be a little overwhelming, but it is also unbelievably exciting.
Embrace what makes you different: We started Chamber Project with certain core values and goals. One of those is to break down the wall between the audience and the performer. I am pretty sure it doesn't get any closer than this picture below. As we grow, holding on to those things that we hold as our mission will get more and more important.
I intended to write a retrospective detailing our season, but I think you get the idea. Through 14 concerts - YES, I SAID FOURTEEN CONCERTS - we have had a complete blast in Season Four. Our audience is not a two dimensional shadow in the distance that is difficult to make out in the darkness of a stuffy concert hall. They are real people wanting an authentic experience, just like us.
First, we hear from our guest saxophonist, Michael Holmes. He joins us from Champaign Urbana, Illinois.
Michael: Adria, written in 1985, is a very intricate piece that features many idiomatic compositional techniques specific to the saxophone. The composer, Christian Lauba, is well known for his avant-garde saxophone compositions. Lauba tends to explore many extended techniques, wide ranges of dynamics, and extended ranges of the saxophone in his compositions... this is certainly showcased in Adria. This composition, for two saxophones, is said to evoke the sounds of the Adriatic River which is sometimes tranquil and at other times agitated.
I think that a good composition has two primary objectives: tension and release. Adria certainly incorporates both of these objectives, and there are few moments that are extremely successful during the composition. My favorite moments of the piece are when the composer asks both of the saxophonists to play at extraordinarily soft dynamics and then creates very tight melodic lines with a hemiola (3:2) between the two parts. These moments create such a beautiful shimmer and texture... I hope that the audience enjoys them as much as I do!
Adrianne and I have had the great fortune to play to together in various ensembles throughout the years, but it has been many years since we have had the chance to play a duet together. I am delighted to be performing with Chamber Project St. Louis and with my dear friend Adrianne!
Next we hear from our clarinetist, Dana.
Dana: I've really been looking forward to this particular program all year. First of all, I love the name, and I love the crazy variety of music being showcased, and more than anything, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Brahms Clarinet Quintet. I've been listening to the Brahms since high school. Over the years I've amassed more recordings than I care to admit, some of which I never even listened to until I started prepping for this concert. (A 1962 recording on vinyl by Members of the Vienna Octet, Alfred Boskovsky on clarinet, has become a favorite.) What is it about this piece that draws people in, and not just clarinet players? Well, from a musicians standpoint, it's quite a masterpiece - but even to the neophyte, this music can strike a deep chord. It begins with one of the most beautiful and plaintive melodies ever heard, and meanders from there into intense rhythmic exclamations, and then back and forth through a variety of emotions and intensities. There's a rhythmic drive in this movement that I love.
The second movement, which is incredibly difficult, is absolutely worth the effort. To me, Brahms better than anyone, can capture the feeling of nostalgia, the essence of memory, of being half asleep and half awake. This is what I love about Classical music, it can express these more subtle and complex emotions and experiences - far beyond just happiness and sadness. In this particular movement, the sense of nostalgia is so intense, it at times overwhelms me. As do the thousands of notes I have to play to pull it off. When I listen to it, I sometimes get intense color sensations (you know, that golden color that happens in the fall when the sun is setting, that color happens a lot.) When I'm playing it, I can't really think about that at all because the music is so difficult to play with either very slow, long phrases, or the embellished, dramatic ones with too many notes!
The third movement is a simple tune that wanders on and on like a beautiful spring afternoon, with a brief rainstorm in the middle - and the last section is a theme and variations which features each instrument. The entire work is cyclical - the beautiful and plaintive melody from the beginning comes back at the very end.
Brahms wrote this near the end of his career, when he was fully a master of his craft. You can hear it in the music, that this is written by a mature man, fully confident in his art. It's amazing really, when you look at a score and you realize that he thought about and wrote, by hand, every single note.
We finished our first rehearsal just a few hours ago, and I was so stunned at the beginning of rehearsal that I was actually playing the music and not just listening to it I kept messing up! I was also floored by how amazing our string quartet sounds!!! You don't want to miss this concert!
Finally, our violinist Hannah answers a few questions about the program.
What is your favorite piece on the program and why or what do you love about the piece you are playing? I am torn between the Brahms Clarinet Quintet and the Martinu Duo. Brahms is one of my absolute favorite composers, but (sorry Dana!) the [Brahms] Violin Sonatas are my first love. Quintets are tough for a self centered violinist like me, because I have to share the spotlight more than I'd like. Seriously though, the piece is absolutely genius, but I almost more prefer listening than playing (and yes, it's been on in my car for the past several weeks!). The Martinu on the other hand is so much fun to play. I've already performed it in March with Laura, and I'm really looking forward to playing it again.
Is there a ‘magical moment’ for you in this music? You'll just have to watch my face to see. There's a place in the Hayden when the saxophone enters and it just cracks me up, the effect is so cool. Brahms is full of magical moments, though I have a couple favorites, like I said, watch my face and you'll know...and I love the second movement of the Martinu--it's so dark and icy, and reminds me a lot of some of my favorite Shostakovich Symphonies.
Have you learned something new or interesting from studying for this concert? It's the first time I've performed a piece with one player (the Martinu with Laura in March) and then had to perform it just two weeks later with a different person [Chris]. I already know how I want the piece [to sound], but the new collaboration makes me see it in a whole new light. It's really very fun, and one of my favorite things about music, which is also one of the things that most overwhelms me, is that there are a million right ways to turn a phrase. I always tell my students, "I don't care if you get louder or softer, or how you phrase this - really the only thing you can do wrong is to do nothing."
avant-garde: A term generally used to describe art that is outside of the real of what is considered 'popular'. Art that pushes the boundaries of what art is.
dynamics: The volume - how loud or soft the music is.
extended range: Refers to notes that are not considered within the everyday usage of the instrument. Usually very very high notes, but can refer to the very lowest notes on certain instruments, like saxophone and bassoon. These notes usually require unusual fingerings and are difficult to play.
hemiola: A way to use rhythm. When an even and an odd (or, two odd) amounts of notes are played within the same amount of time, within one beat. In this case, one person is playing 2 notes while the other is playing 3.
idiomatic: When the music is written in a way that fits very well with the natural abilities and strengths of the instrument it is written for.
movement: Large pieces of music are usually divided into sections, like chapters in a book. Each with its own character(s). Typically, movements are organized in groups of three or four, with the first movement being fast, the second slow, the third dance-like and the fourth also fast. In a three movement work, the dance-like section will be omitted.
phrase: Like a musical sentence - it's a smaller section of music with a recognizable beginning, middle and end. To "turn a phrase", how you shape the phrase, placing emphasis on some notes more than others.
score: The score contains all of the individual parts. The performers have only their own music, they don't see what the other musicians are playing. A conductor uses a score.
sotto voce: Literally, "under voice". To intentionally lower the volume of one's voice to create emphasis. In music, it means to play softer in a particular way, usually with a degree of intensity. Sometimes when there are two melodies at the same time, the composer will indicate the slightly less important melody with "sotto voce" to make it clear to the musician.
theme and variation: A way to structure music, a "form". A melody is stated at the beginning, and the followed with variations on that theme. It's usually easy to pick out when the different sections begin and end because they will each have a unique character.
posted by Dana One of the reasons we began Chamber Project is that we passionately believe Classical Music can be enjoyed by anyone. We felt we could find a way to break down some of the imaginary boundaries that isolate Classical Music from popular culture. To bust the myth that you have to have some secret knowledge or privilege to understand and enjoy Classical Music. We love it, and we're just people like everyone else! Music is Music - it's all made of the same stuff. It's available to anyone, and we're striving to develop a concert format that opens the door to anyone willing to give it a chance and walk in. We think we've found a pretty good presentation that's inviting and fun, and we're always thinking about how we can go further.
This past week, we presented our program, Stings Attached, Thursday and Friday nights. In both concerts, I felt that we accomplished our mission of opening up the joy of live music for our audience. I began the evening by putting a frame around the music we were presenting - providing context for the audience to build their listening experience on. We do this for all of our concerts. For this program it turned out that the best way to talk about this music was through a mini history lesson about how through time, the way people value personal self expression and dramatic emotional energy in music has changed. Some Eras like the drama, others don't.
I could feel the rapt attention of the audience (as performers, we have a strange 6th sense about how the audience is feeling). Both nights, they loved getting this information. I could feel the energy, I could see it in their faces as I spoke. They were eager for this information, and as the music started, the energy carried through.
At intermission, we mingled with our audience. At The Chapel I had a great conversation with an amateur clarinetist about pieces for clarinet, and he tipped me off to a composer I should look into. At The Tavern I continued a conversation that had started before the concert began with a table who had been in for dinner as I was warming up. As it turns out, our mothers both played clarinet in high school! I handed out ballots to all of the tables at The Tavern at intermission, making contact with pretty much every person in attendance. This was a very happy surprise for me, and I plan on doing it again!
For us, conversing with our audience is just as rewarding as performing for them. Our audience is getting the hang of this too - it's not everyday someone walks off stage and right up to you and asks you if you're having a good time! It gives them an opportunity to ask questions about the music, about the instruments, about us. And we get to ask them what they think of the music, what brings them to a concert, what is their relationship with music, what is their story?
We are going to continue to come up with fun and new ways to connect with our audience! We hope you will be there! We play a 30 minute set at the Women in the Arts Conference on Saturday November 12 at 2:30 on the UMSL campus. It's free and we are in the JC Penny Conference Center. Our program will be a reprise of last years 'Superwomen Explored", a program of music composed by women.

Do you consider your note or cash flow business a success? Or is your business causing you duress? Depending on who you listen to, there’s so much you need to do in order to successfully continue or launch and run your cash flow business. It doesn’t seem to matter which niche you are in factoring, structured settlements, lotteries or seller financed notes, launching a successful cash flow business takes time, energy and even a little bit of money.
More than anything, you need a plan. You need to know what you’re about and how your service will help other people. That’s the first step. Some would say you next need a business plan, a marketing plan and a clear revenue model (you do need to know how you’re going to make money, after all). Yet initially, it may be simpler than that.
Sure, a business plan is good. I teach and train note brokers on creating business and marketing plans so they can both keep themselves on track and see their progress. So using traditional business plans and a good marketing plan is something I highly recommend.
Yet, I’ve found it helpful to begin any note or cash flow (service) business with four simple questions. These questions provide the foundation for all else. Answer them fully and you’ll have the beginnings of your business plan, an outline for your marketing plan and you’ll know how you’ll make money. You’ll also have an idea of who your prospects are and what their needs might be.
What’s more, these four questions give you a chance to simplify the whole business development process. You will still need to formalize your business plan and work through how exactly you’ll market your business. Yet it can be less necessary as long as you can stay focused. I’ve had a handful of note brokers and cash flow consultants take just the answers to these four questions and go on to build successful businesses.
So what are the four questions? Who are you? What do you do? Who do you do it for? Why do you do it? See how simple this might be? Now there can be other questions to add. Depending on the note broker or consultant I might add ‘how do you do what you do’ or ‘what do you need.’ But honestly, even these questions are pretty much covered in thorough answers to the initial four questions. Plus, I find simplicity wins out most of the time.
Now I know that the answers to each of these questions can be full of complicated processes, complex systems and overwhelming business structures. And having run a business for more than twenty three years, I know there’s much to do to be successful.
Yet when you clearly answer those four questions you then have a basic business plan. Answer the four questions and you will also have the outline for a marketing plan. Answer the four questions and you have, at least a beginning, for how you’re going to make money in your note or cash flow business.
First, as a human being. What are your talents, your gifts and your passions? What are your shortcomings? What areas of your life could you use some help with? What areas of your life do you want to hide from? How do each of these questions translate to your business?
For instance, if you believe you’re not a good writer, it’s good to know that so that you can do something about it. Perhaps you hire a copy editor or take a copy writing course to help you write material for your marketing efforts. Either way, you need to know where your strengths and weaknesses are so you can either utilize them or get help.
Once you identify who you are as a person, as I mentioned above, you want to know how you – as a person – translate to a business owner. Are you organized? Do you use systems? Do you outsource any of your tasks? Do people tend to feel comfortable with you? Do you have any issues with selling? What knowledge do you have of using your website or social media to promote your business? How effective is your marketing strategy? The list goes on, really.
Ideally, you want to be asking yourself how you are with every aspect of owning, running, promoting and evaluating your business. And don’t worry if you don’t know something or have large gaps in your abilities. All you have to do is ask for help.
The primary answer here, of course, has to do with what you do for a living. In other words, what are you in business to do? But it goes deeper than that. You want to also consider what your service actually is and does. Meaning, you want to consider your business offerings from the stand point of what problems they solve for the people in your target audience. In essence, you’re not just providing a service but providing a way to solve problems in people’s lives.
For instance, let’s say you’re a note broker who helps note holders get access to their cash to assist in solving their cash flow problems. Your offer is likely so much more than just a note broker. You may have a background you can call on that gives you a market advantage. You may have gone through a career transition yourself. You may be able to provide emotional or psychological support in a different way than your peers. Whatever the offer you make, just be certain that you’re bringing your full self, with your complete background into play here. Just remember, what you do includes what you have done.
Who Do You Do It For…?
As with the previous question, this one helps you focus more precisely on what you actually have to offer. In this case, it’s not about the offer itself, but who you’re offering it to. Who do you do it for asks you to go deeper than demographics. You don’t just serve, for instance, note holders with notes on single family homes. You want to narrow your focus down to a specific type of note holder who fits perfectly into your specific set of abilities. Location, demographics, property types and terms may enter into the mix to help narrow it down.
And you want to think of what problems the people in your target audience are facing. What sort of barriers are they hitting as they are looking for options to get cash? Think directly in terms of the note holders you are targeting in your marketing. Ideally, who you do it for is one person, the note holder. Just remember that there are 1000′s of that one person out there waiting to find you and your service. Make it easy on them by identifying exactly who you help.
Why Do You Do It…?
Ultimately, this may be the most important question of all to ask yourself. After years of working with hundreds of note brokers on their websites and coaching them on increasing their business, I’ve found that the most successful note business people make it meaningful.
While making meaning may not be, in the short term, the more important than knowing what you do and who you do it for, eventually it will be. That’s because as note business owners, we need to make meaning. It may sound airy-fairy, but it’s true. I’ve seen it with dozens of note brokers who are successful in one area but burn out because the business they made successful isn’t making the meaning they want in the world.
So your business, to be successful, needs to have meaning. And it needs to make meaning to one person – you. It doesn’t really matter what I think or anyone else. What matters is that your note business is meaningful to you. In other words, you are contributing something important to yourself and to the world.
Do you know what that is? Do you know what impact you have on the people you touch? Do you know how your service is making meaning in the world? In line with meaning, one of the keys to a successful note business is clarity. To create, grow and maintain a successful note business you need one thing more than any other – and it’s not even talent. You need clarity! Clarity with your note business will set you free from the confusion most small note business owners face.
So why don’t more note and cash flow business owners take the time to find clarity? I think lots of reasons, really. The biggest one is likely fear of something. Fear of hard work. Fear of not being able to do it. Fear of being boxed in by a vision and plan. Fear of putting in the effort to get clarity only to find that you have none. All these, and more, get in the way of you finding clarity and, hence, stop you from growing a successful business.

Woe unto every slanderer, fault-finder! (He himself does little but spends a lot of energy detracting the doers).
Whose efforts revolve around gathering material possessions and counting them. (Devoid of a higher goal, he opposes any semblance of reform (70:18)).
Thinking as if his wealth will help him for forever!
Nay, he will be flung into the Shredder. (9:35).
Ah, what will convey to you what the Shredder is?
A Fire kindled by Allah.
Which originates in the hearts. (And engulfs the hearts).
Verily, it closes upon them. (As they had kept their possessions closed in safes and vaults, and kept all kindness surrounded in the flames of jealousy).

Hey everyone – Justin here. I’ve been getting a lot of questions this week about what to do if you want or need to convert a full (user) Office 365 mailbox into a Shared Mailbox.
Where, “usertoconvert” = one of your mailboxes that you want to convert.
After you run these commands, you can then access the account within the Office 365 portal and safely remove its license, thus putting it back into the pool with your other unused licenses. Because the mailbox is now “shared”, this won’t affect the integrity or availability of this mailbox.
That’s all for now. Stay tuned for our next Tech Tip for the Week! If you have any questions on this or any other topics, leave a comment and we will answer it.

It’s 9 p.m. on a Wednesday night, and I’ve just gotten my three boys to bed. I sit down at my desk with a cup of tea and open the draft of my new novel. There’s a hazy moon in the sky and the wind is howling outside my office window. I can hear the branches of the old maple tree creaking in the wind, thrashing against the house — the perfect dark and stormy night.
Tonight I’m working on a chapter where my character will confront something terrifying, and to get into the right mood for a scene like this, I do what I always do: I think back to the most chilling night of my life — the night my family came into close (too close) contact with a murderer.
I’ve never written about this before, though it’s an experience that’s informed every scary scene I’ve ever written — every scream, every door creaking on its hinge, every imagined boogeyman lurking in the darkness. Look closely, and you can find it swirling in the salty night air in my first novel, “The Violets of March”; or hear echoes of it in the cries of my heroine in “Blackberry Winter.” The truth is, I owe much of my understanding of suspense and fear on the page to one single terrifying experience in 1990.
I was 12 years old at the time, with hair pulled back into a ponytail, a pink boombox on my dresser and an unmarred sense of peace and safety. My parents locked the doors at night, we said our prayers and nobody worried. Not really. But then, one afternoon, a dark shadow crept in.
I can still remember the look in my mom’s eyes when she walked in the door with a paper bag in her arms. She’d been grocery shopping with my youngest brother, when, in the parking lot of a Safeway in Silverdale, Wash., a car had plowed into her van. The man staggered out of his car to survey the damage — a fairly deep dent in the rear. She remembers him as a bit detached, on edge. His emotionless dark eyes made her clutch my little brother tighter — that and she thought she smelled alcohol on his breath.
They agreed to exchange information for insurance purposes, and my mom scrawled out her name and phone number on a scrap of paper. He slipped it into his wallet and drove away. It was the scene of any typical fender-bender, except for the fact that that evening, after stopping in at the grocery store for two six-packs of beer, this man murdered two people.
The next day, the police called our house. They wanted to know why my mom’s name had been found in the home of a man named David Drizpaul. My mom explained the accident, and then listened, and as she did, her jaw dropped.
Drizpaul, the officer said, was armed and dangerous. Though he was wanted for murder, the police feared his rampage wasn’t over. In fact, they said, there was a very real chance that he might come after us.
Per the police officer’s recommendation, our family went into hiding that day. We temporarily moved into the empty home of my grandparents, who lived next door but were traveling at the time. We dimmed the lights, locked the doors and my dad kept guard near the front windows.
That night, a storm rolled in. Angry waves crashed up on the shore outside our windows, and as the wind howled, we huddled in the dark wondering if a madman was lurking in the shadows. My sister and brothers and I all clung to each other. I don’t think my dad even slept. Every rain splatter on the window, every cat’s cry in the night — in my mind, it was David Drizpaul.
The sun rose the next morning, and so did we — unharmed. That day, we learned that after killing two more people, Drizpaul had taken his own life.
The dark shadow had passed, but the experience remained tattooed in my memory. Now, more than 20 years later, I go back to that night often and try to tease out details I overlooked, like the fear in my dad’s eyes or the way the furniture cast big jagged shadows on the walls.
Here’s the thing: Everyone tells you to write what you know. It’s the tried-and-true advice every writer hears at some point in her career. But to take my writing to a deeper level, I’ve found that a better practice is to simply write what frightens you, haunts you, even.
It’s not always pleasant, or easy, dredging up deep-seated fears for literary purposes. For instance, in my recent novel “Blackberry Winter,” I challenged myself, a mother of three little boys, to imagine what it might feel like to lose a child, my deepest and most haunting fear. There were times I couldn’t write a sentence, out of pure terror. But by facing my fears in the pages of this novel, I created a story that felt emotionally true to me.
Similarly, in “The Last Camellia,” my new novel, I put my character in an old manor house in England, alone, with a madman lurking, evil seeping into every drafty window frame. I’ll be honest: I hated writing this scene. I hated it, because I’ve had a lifelong fear of being alone in a house (which is why I have a golden retriever), and also because it took me right back to that horrific night in 1990. In fact, at one point, I didn’t think I had the guts to write it. But I did. I think the fear that spilled out onto the page made the scene ring true to readers.
I now keep a sign on the bulletin board in my office that reads: “Write What Scares You.” I’ve learned that tapping into the hard stuff — whether it’s the fear of loss or a boogeyman lurking in childhood memories — is what ultimately gives a story the power to leap off the page and grab you by the collar.

31 October 2018, by BOUCEIRO MENDES R. & CORREIA DA FONSECA I.
Hydroxy acids (HA) are a chemical greoup which has been used for decades to treat a variety of skin conditions including anti-wrinkling benefits, radical-scavenging effects and treatment of several hyperpigmentation disorders. They are broadly divided into alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), beta hydroxy acids, polyhydroxy acids and bionic acids.
AHA, also known as “fruit acids”, are naturally found in foods but the majority of them are now chemically produced. Structurally, AHA contain a hydrocarbon chain of varying length, with a carboxyl end group followed by a hydroxyl group attached to the next carbon atom. The linear nature of AHA structure makes them water soluble. Since AHA are extremely hydrophilic they are unable to act optimally in the oily areas of face unless the face has been thoroughly degreased. The smallest and most widely used in the AHA group is glycolic acid (GA). Other group members include lactic acid, malic acid, mandelic, tartaric acid and citric acid.

Guangzhou, the capital of China's Guangdong province, is offering to pay citizens in exchange for information on “illegal religious groups” as the Communist Party of China continues to crack down on all forms of religious activity.
As the Associated Press reported, the website of the Guangzhou Department of Ethnic and Religious Affairs states that it is offering up to 10,000 Chinese yuan (roughly $15,000) for information on the activities of religious groups and assistance that would lead to the arrest of key leaders.
Smaller rewards, it said, would be available in exchange for information on religious venues built without proper permission, and for information on people encouraging "religious extremism."
The move is part of a broader government clampdown on all religious activity in the country.
Religious freedom is officially guaranteed by the Chinese constitution, but religious groups must register with the government, and are overseen by the Chinese Communist Party.
Groups that are not officially registered with the Chinese Communist Party are subject to severe persecution, including the detention and forced indoctrination of members and leaders, the destruction of shrines and church buildings, and, in the case of Muslim ethnic minorities in western China, indoctrination and forced-labor internment camps.
The Catholic Church in China has long been split between the underground Catholic Church, which is persecuted and whose episcopal appointments are typically unacknowledged by Chinese authorities, and the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association, which is government-sanctioned.
In September 2018 the Holy See and Beijing reached an agreement meant to normalize the situation of China’s Catholics and to unify the underground Church and the CPCA.
In December, two bishops of the underground Catholic Church agreed to step aside in favor of bishops of the CPCA, in the wake of the September agreement.
Last week, authorities in Hebei province detained an underground bishop and his vicar general, while another underground Catholic leader was jailed in Hong Kong.
The Sinicization of religion has been pushed by President Xi Jinping, who took power in 2013 and who has strengthened government oversight of religious activities. In 2017, Xi said that religions not sufficiently conformed to communist ideals pose a threat to the country’s government, and therefore must become more “Chinese-oriented.” Since he took power, crosses have been removed from an estimated 1,500 church buildings.

The Appalachian LCC funds research of the conservation community’s top science needs to address the landscape conservation challenges within the region. By identifying, prioritizing, and supporting fundamental scientific research through coordination and strategic investment of scarce resources, the Appalachian LCC is fostering the development and application of vital information and decision-support tools. Find here a list of the Appalachian LCC funded research as well as that of their partners and additional organizations within the region.
Given the rapid environmental change experienced and expected across the Appalachians, it will be crucial to understand the vulnerabilities of valued ecosystem services to drivers of large-scale change that may threaten their sustainability. The Appalachian LCC has partnered with the US Forest Service Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center to assess ecosystem services, and vulnerabilities to environmental risk factors, throughout the Appalachians. Synthesizing current knowledge of the diverse benefits that people derive from functioning Appalachian ecosystems will help managers, scientists, industries, and the public to establish a common language for linking the environmental and economic values of the region’s natural assets in a way that encourages protection of and investments in these resources.
It has been recognized by the Appalachian LCC partnership that to develop and deliver landscape-level planning tools, it is essential to develop an Appalachian-wide map depicting where cave and karst habitats and resources occur across the landscape. For the past 18 months, researchers for the Appalachian LCC funded “Classification and Georeferencing Cave/Karst Resources across the Appalachian LCC” project have been gathering and analyzing data on caves and karst region wide. This work has produced a series of deliverables, including narratives, data tables, geospatial information layers, and a variety of maps. The maps and files provide a comprehensive overview of data availability for examining relationships between environmental factors and biological diversity and distribution within karst areas of the Appalachian LCC.
The Data Needs Assessment research project was undertaken to review the variety of resources on conservation planning to provide packages of products, data, and identified data gaps to improve conservation planning in the Appalachian LCC. A suite of core conservation planning products and data from principal investigators at Clemson University are now available to the Cooperative.
Unifying state-based stream classifications into a single consistent system, principal investigators at The Nature Conservancy developed a hierarchical classification system and map for stream and river systems for the Appalachian LCC that represents the region’s natural flowing-water aquatic habitats. This river classification information is needed to develop and implement instream flow standards and management recommendations so that environmental flows can become integral to all water management decisions from the onset.
The southeastern U.S. contains a unique diversity of ecosystems that provide important benefits, including habitat for wildlife and plants, water quality, and recreation opportunities. As climate changes, a better understanding of how our ecosystems will be affected is vital for identifying strategies to protect these ecosystems. While information on climate change affects exists for some ecosystems and some places, a synthesis of this information for key ecosystems across the entire Southeast will enable regional decision-makers, including the LCCs, to prioritize current efforts and plan future research and monitoring.
Expansion of drilling sites and associated infrastructure to extract natural gas from the Marcellus shale deposits has the potential to significantly reduce existing forest cover across the Marcellus field and leave what remains in a fragmented state.
Assessing Future Energy Development across the Appalachian LCC used models that combined data on energy development trends and identified where these may intersect with important natural resource and ecosystem services to give a more comprehensive picture of what potential energy development could look like in the Appalachians. Ultimately this information is intended to support dialogue and conservation on how to effectively avoid, minimize, and offset impacts from energy development to important natural areas and the valuable services they provide.
A significant challenge faced by climate scientists in the public and private sector is the need for information about the historical status of ecological systems expected to be influenced by climate change. The need is especially acute for reliable and complete information about monitoring networks maintained by government and non-governmental organizations and associated data. While many organizations monitor one or more aspects of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, these monitoring programs are seldom coordinated and information about both the networks and the associated data are not readily available. The DOI Southeast Climate Science Center is participating in an effort by multiple federal, state, and other organizations to develop a comprehensive and integrated assessment of monitoring networks associated with atmospheric, stream, and terrestrial ecosystems. The objective of this two-year project is to support the development of this assessment.
Few previous studies have focused on how climate change may impact headwater systems, despite the importance of these areas for aquatic refugia. The lack of these studies has resulted in the majority of climate impact assessments focusing on conservation of ecological systems at broad levels, and has not focused on turning results into useful and actionable information for managers on the ground. A critical and timely research question is: “What data and modeling frameworks are needed to provide scientists reliable, climate-informed, water temperature estimates for freshwater ecosystems that can assist watershed management decision making?” This research will answer this through two primary activities: 1) gathering and compiling existing stream temperature data within the DOI-Northeast region and subsequent deployment of data loggers to areas where additional data are needed, and 2) an intercomparison of state-of-the-art statistical and deterministic stream temperature models to evaluate their ability to replicate point stream temperature measurements and model scalability to non-gaged sites with the Northeast region.
Predicting population responses to climate change requires an understanding of how population dynamics vary over space and time. For instance, a measured indicator may vary among repeated samples from a single site, from site to site within a lake, from lake to lake, and over time. Although variability has historically been viewed as an impediment to understanding population responses to ecological changes, the structure of variation can also be an important part of the response. In this project, we will build upon recently completed analyses of fish population data in the Great Lakes basin to help predict how spatial and temporal variation in fish populations may respond to climate change and other important drivers.
A DOI Southeast Climate Science Center funded research project will be evaluating the latest generation of global climate models to generate scenarios of future change to climate, hydrology, and vegetation for the Southeastern U.S. as well as the entire range of the Appalachian LCC.
Conservation practitioners must navigate many challenges to advance effective natural-resource management in the presence of multiple uncertainties. Numerous climatic and ecological changes remain on the horizon, and their eventual consequences are not completely understood. Even so, their influences are expected to impact important resources and the people that depend on them across local, regional, and sometimes global scales. Although forecasts of future conditions are almost always imperfect, decision makers are increasingly expected to communicate and use uncertain information when making policy choices that affect multiple user groups. The degree to which management objectives are met can depend on 1) how critical uncertainties are identified and accounted for, and 2) effective communication among user groups, scientists, and resource managers.
Climate change is already affecting biodiversity, changing the dates when birds arrive to breed and when flowers bloom in spring, and shifting the ranges of species as they move to cooler places. One problem for wildlife as their ranges shift is that their path is often impeded – their habitats have become fragmented by agriculture and urbanization, presenting barriers to their migration. Because of this, the most common recommended strategy to protect wildlife as climate changes is to connect their habitats, providing them safe passage. There are great challenges to implementing this strategy in the southeastern U.S., however, because most intervening lands between habitat patches are held in private ownership. We will combine data on key wildlife species and their habitats throughout the southeastern U.S. with new computer modeling technologies that allow us to identify key connections that will be robust to regional and global changes in climate and land use.
This project coordinates with partners to provide a systematic comparison of existing habitat classification and mapping products within the footprint of the Northeast Climate Science Center (NECSC), a merged and improved map product as far as possible, an evaluation of habitats vulnerable to climate change within the region, and recommendations for needed improvement in habitat mapping products for the future.
Traditional urban growth models are very localized and data-intensive and lack the capability to be applied across large regions, in response to these limitations the North Carolina Cooperative Research Unit began using the USGS SLEUTH urban growth model to develop urbanization scenarios as part of the Southeast Regional Assessment Project (SERAP). Extensive modifications of the model framework and calibration were undertaken that resulted in the ability to rapidly develop urbanization scenarios for very large regions, such as the Appalachian and Gulf Coastal Plain Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs). This new modeling effort allows LCC’s to address fundamental questions that affect conservation planning over decadal time scales.
The Appalachian LCC collaborated with Cornell University to study the environmental impacts of water withdrawals in the Central Appalachian region. The rivers and streams of the Central Appalachians are home to more than 200 species of fish and other aquatic life. They also provide a reliable source of drinking water, recreational opportunities and associated economic benefits to people living in large cities and surrounding communities. This research looks at how the region’s surface freshwater supply – and the health of natural systems delivering this resource – have been impacted and may be altered in the coming years under increasing water withdrawals. It focuses on the Marcellus Shale region in the Central Appalachians, including portions of NY, PA, OH, MD, WV and VA.
Stream flows are essential for maintaining healthy aquatic ecosystems and for supporting human water supply needs. Integrated modeling approaches assessing the impact of changes in climate, land use, and water withdrawals on stream flows and the subsequent impact of changes in flow regime on aquatic biota at multiple spatial scales are necessary to insure an adequate supply of water for humans and healthy river ecosystems. The combined application of simple, large scale models with more complex, high resolution models has the potential to provide for more robust climate change impact studies, which focus on maintaining a better balance between the availability of water to support aquatic assemblages while conserving water for long-term human needs than using either approach in isolation.
The Appalachian LCC is currently engaged in an effort to develop a draft regional conservation plan for the Cooperative using an interactive and iterative spatial prioritization framework. Using available data and modeling approaches that are well supported in the literature, researchers from Clemson University are developing conservation planning models that include site selection, ecological threat assessments, and broad ranging habitat and ecological connectivity analyses.
Glades and glade-woodland complexes are natural communities which provide high-quality habitat for several priority bird species including the Prairie Warbler, Blue-winged Warbler, Field Sparrow, Northern Bobwhite, Eastern Wood-Pewee. We also recognize the importance of glade complexes to other flora and fauna species of conservation concern.
Provision of shade via riparian restoration is a well-established management adaptation strategy to mitigate against temperature increases in streams. Effective use of this strategy depends upon accurately identifying vulnerable, unforested riparian areas in priority coldwater stream habitats. An innovative riparian planting and restoration decision support tool is now available to the conservation community. This user-friendly tool allows managers and decision-makers to rapidly identify and prioritize areas along the banks of rivers, streams, and lakes for restoration, making these ecosystems more resilient to disturbance and future changes in climate.
Future climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies will be dependent on the best available projections of how the regional climate will change and the impacts those changes will have on the region’s natural and cultural resources. Understanding the vulnerability of various species and habitats to climate change within the Appalachian LCC is of critical importance for making effective conservation decisions. The AppLCC funded a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment research project that addresses several factors: 1) how the Cooperative should acquire information about the climate vulnerability of Appalachian species and habitats to develop vulnerability assessments for a suite of key species and habitats to share with partners; 2) compilation of known vulnerability assessments of species and habitats, and 3) new climate change vulnerability assessments of selected species and habitats in the AppLCC region.
Downscaling translates large-scale climate information to the local scale. There are several techniques for handling this process; recently, several downscaled climate products have been produced by government and academic researchers. Ecologists, conservation scientists, and practitioners require such local guidance to evaluate adaptation and conservation strategies. However, the large number of methods involved, different downscaling approaches, resolutions, time periods, and focal variables limits the ability of these users to form meaningful conclusions and evaluate the results of adaptation strategies. To address these issues, this project will summarize the methods used for downscaling, identify the metrics most appropriate for evaluation of climate model skill and usability for the ecological and conservation communities in the southeastern US, and begin a longer-term effort to evaluate the range of downscaled climate products over this geographic region.

Extremely user pleasant website. Huge information offered on couple of gos to.
The first player whose items are crossed off either horizontally, vertically or diagonally is recognized as a winner.
This is a really significant and deep fact in our lives; priorities change in accordance with the difference in circumstances of our lives. It does not permit casino games as well as the modern day all gaming activities usually are not considering legal.
Astonishingly user friendly site. Tremendous info readily available on couple of clicks on.
Hiya, cool websites you've gotten presently.
As internet has brought the entire world to homes, from shopping to banking everything is present at our desk then have you thought to casinos.
If your chip stack is dwindling then you can will need to go for that hail Mary all or nothing shove and hope to the best but if you don't absolutely ought to, save the "all in" for the right time. The machines around gaming tables are more inclined to be tight as they do not want the noise and distractions of slots to irritate those players.

Climate change will not only affect American security through impacts on the economy and our physical infrastructure (roads, bridges, airports, etc.); it can also affect our domestic and international military bases. Physical changes to the environment such as flooding, drought and extreme weather events may disrupt U.S. military capabilities and facilities, including military training ranges and bases.
Homestead AFB after Hurricane Andrew.
Although sea-level flooding remains a major concern for the security of U.S. military bases, a variety of other environmental threats pose serious risks as well. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew nearly wiped out Homestead Air Force Base in Florida and Hurricane Katrina caused $950 million of damage to Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi. Both of these bases were rebuilt, but at the cost of millions of dollars. Military bases in the U.S. are important for driving local economies and when they are destroyed by natural disasters, there is a ripple effect economically in the region.
According to a Department of Defense Report, the United States military manages property in all 50 states, 7 U.S. territories and 40 foreign countries, comprising almost 300,000 individual buildings around the globe. These buildings are valued at $590 billion. The Army alone has over 14 million acres of property, 2000 installations and 12,000 historical structures. As the effects of climate change increase in many parts of the world, our investments and structures may be at risk of severe damage.
The physical and operational security of U.S. military bases around the world is a vital requirement to maintaining the national security of the United States and stability abroad. For example, the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean is a critical logistics hub for U.S. and British forces in the Middle East and houses critical Air Force Satellite Control Network equipment. Climate change is a threat to the United States and it must begin to confront those potential impacts on its military installations and missions around the world.
This interactive map highlights some of the most strategically important military installations that are vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Each installation on the map includes information on the threat horizon, type of threat, strategic significance, and specific projections of the impacts the installation could experience in the future. While not comprehensive, we believe this map provides a starting point for analysis.
Installations that appear blue on the map are those threatened by sea level rise and flooding, ones in red are threatened by excessive heat, orange designates drought and wildfire threat, green is flash flooding, and brown is coastal erosion. Each installation is categorized by the primary threat it faces, but that does not mean that bases face only one type of threat.

The RNLI is urging people heading to the coast to stay safe now that the lifeguarding season draws to a close.
Chris Cousens, RNLI Community Safety Partner, said: ‘With the weather starting to turn colder as we head into the Autumn and Winter, and sea conditions becoming more challenging, we are asking people to take more care on the coasts. With no lifeguards on duty we are reminding people that if they get into difficulty themselves, or they see someone in difficulty on the coast or at sea call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.
Our volunteer lifeboat crews remain on call all year round, and are ready to assist 24 hours a day, but the best thing we can advise is that if you are heading to the coast please respect the water, check tide times online or locally and read coastal safety signs and follow the advice on them’.
RNLI lifeguards patrol over 249 beaches around the UK and Channel Islands.
RNLI lifeguards are qualified in lifesaving and casualty care, highly trained, strong and fit. They must be able to swim 400m in under 7½ minutes, and run 200m on sand in under 40 seconds. However, a good lifeguard rarely gets wet - 95 per cent of a lifeguard's work is preventative.
RNLI lifeguards monitor sea conditions and set up the appropriate flags, watch the people on the beach and offer safety advice both on the beach and in classrooms through our education programmes.
With the summer drawing to a close and children heading back to school, the RNLI’s Lifeguards are beginning to finish for the season on most of the beaches they patrol in Wales.
Matt Childs RNLI Lifeguard Supervisor said: ‘This has been an incredibly busy season for our lifeguards, mostly as a result of the long spells of great weather bringing lots of people to the beaches. Our team have dealt with hundreds of incidents and ensured that thousands of people have visited the coast in safety this summer.
Now that many RNLI lifeguard patrols have finished we urge those choosing to visit the beach to do so with great care, always considering the changeable and dangerous nature of our coastline.
If you see someone in difficulty we advise that your first action is to call the Coastguard via 999 and attempt to pass a floatation aid to the individual in difficulty’.
You can find a list of Lifeguarded beaches here.

Irene has lived in the rural area around Selkirk for more than 40 years, (Libau, Lockport) so counts herself a country girl.
Always an artist at heart, she showed her predisposition in childhood, one of her earliest memories being the smooth and effortless feel of drawing with a lipstick on the wall ... Throughout public school, she loved to draw and paint, thus being assigned the tasks of designing stage sets and programs for school operettas and concerts. After university, as a young mother, she continued to do art, and took oil painting lessons from Gwen Fox herself at evening classes held at the Comp in Selkirk.
For 25 years, she commuted to Winnipeg, and was employed by an international company as a graphic artist doing design and layout for hundreds of trade and professional association magazines across North America. She created hundreds of magazine covers and won awards for her work. Throughout her professional life, she continued to paint as the spirit moved her. Irene combined her professional graphics career and fine art to create the current Gwen Fox Gallery logo design.
Irene loves to learn and explore her mediums, though the boldness of acrylic is favoured. A member of Gwen Fox Gallery, as well as the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Irene has participated in classes and in art shows. She finds great joy in painting, focussing on her art, and truly being “ireneska”.
Irene’s paintings are often surreal or expressive of real-life emotion, passion, or insight. She strives to create an inner landscape, populated by ideas, feelings, textures and colours.

A novel which asks the big question - can you juggle a baby with a cafe latte?
But then two blue lines appear on her pregnancy test.
How does a baby fit in with a hectic job, a chaotic social life, and the absence of Max, the Y chromosome in the equation, who has moved to San Francisco?
Support and dubious advice are provided by an unlikely group who gather together for a weekly coffee session at the King Street Cafe. It is with Debbie the glamorous man-eater, Andrew the fitness junkie, Anna the disaster-prone doctor and Karen the statistically improbable happily married mother of three, that Sophie discovers the ups and downs of motherhood.
And when an unexpected business venture and a new man appear on the scene, it appears that just maybe there is life after a baby.
Written by two sisters who live on opposite sides of the world, Sacking the Stork is a novel which tackles the balancing act of motherhood, romance and a career, while managing to be seriously funny.
Kris Webb and Kathy Wilson are sisters who grew up in Brisbane. Kris worked as a lawyer for Walt Disney in Hong Kong until having her first child. She still lives there, with her husband and two daughters. Kathy worked as a marketing executive in Sydney and now has her own consultancy in Brisbane, where she lives with her husband and son.
A light hearted read that deals with the ups and downs of motherhood. Great for new mums or any female reader who are dealing with the work vs baby vs relationships dilemma.

Counselors will be available for brief, informal, free and confidential, drop-in consultations at the following locations and times (Sept - May).
Get support for whatever is on your mind...anxiety, stress, academic problems, relationships, family problems, roommate conflicts, health issues, financial problems, and other concerns.
Q: What is “Let’s Talk”?
“Let’s Talk” is a program that provides easy access to informal confidential consultations with counselors from UMD Health Services. Counselors hold walk-in hours at a site on campus on scheduled days. There is no appointment or fee necessary.
Q: What happens at a visit to “Let’s Talk”?
Appointments are on a first-come, first-served basis. When you arrive at the site, look to see if the office door is open. If it is, please come on in. If the door is closed, please wait until the counselor is done with that consultation and the door is open again. The wait is usually not long. The counselor will listen closely to your concerns and provide support, perspective and suggestions for resources to assist you.
Q: What are common concerns that people bring up at “Let’s Talk”?
Students come in with a variety of concerns; no topic is off limits. Common concerns include; stress, relationships, academic performance, financial struggles, sadness, worry and family problems.
Q: Who should visit “Let’s Talk”?
Students who are not sure about counseling and wonder what it would be like to talk with a counselor.
Students who are not interested in ongoing counseling, but would like the perspective of a counselor.
Students who have concern about a friend and want some ideas about what to do.
Q: I think I have a problem that would benefit from counseling, but I don’t know anything about it. Would going to “Let’s Talk” help me figure out what to do?
Absolutely. The counselor will help you talk through your issues and help you determine the best way to get help. If you feel comfortable with the counselor, it is sometimes possible to meet with him/her at UMD Health Services for ongoing sessions.
Q: I was offered an appointment at UMD Health Services a week from now. Can I stop by “Let’s Talk” in the meantime?
If you believe you need to be seen sooner than the appointment you were given, it is best to call UMD Health Services directly and explain your situation.
Q: I went to UMD Health Services and spoke with a counselor who recommended a referral to someone in the community. Can I come to “Let’s Talk” instead?
Since regular counseling appointments are not available at “Let’s Talk”, following up with the referral is a good idea. Referrals are given when a specific need is identified, keeping in mind the best resource to address that need.
Q: I am currently seeing a therapist at UMD Health Services and would like to talk with someone sooner than my next appointment. Can I go to “Let’s Talk” instead?
If your next appointment is not soon enough, it is best to contact your counselor directly to see if he/she can see you sooner.
Q: I am currently seeing a counselor at UMD Health Services and I’m not happy with the way things are going. Can I go to “Let’s Talk” instead?
The best thing to do in your situation is to talk directly with your counselor or call the receptionist to request a different counselor. Counselors are eager to get your feedback; positive or negative. Often, an open conversation about your concern helps smooth out any wrinkles and helps get things back on track.
Although “Let’s Talk” counselors are professionals, “Let’s Talk” is not a substitute for psychotherapy or formal counseling and doesn’t constitute mental health treatment. “Let’s Talk” consultants provide informal consultations to help students with specific problems and to introduce them to what it’s like to speak with a counselor. Your “Let’s Talk” counselor consultant can help you determine whether formal counseling at UMD Health Services would be useful to you and if appropriate assist you in getting connected to schedule an appointment.
Q: “Let’s Talk” visits are confidential. Are there any limits to confidentiality?
Conversations with “Let’s Talk” counselors are confidential with a few rare exceptions. Counselors my need to share information in an emergency if there is an immediate threat of harm to self or others. Counselors are required by law to report when a minor/vulnerable adult is being abused or neglected.
“Let’s Talk” counselors keep brief written notes of their contacts with students only in the event that there is an emergency, or when a student is referred to UMD Health Services for counseling. In these situations, other Health Services counselors may see the notes. Information is also collected about attendance, so that we can keep track of student we are serving and those we need to continue serving.
“Let’s Talk” visits are never reported on a student official university record.
We don’t want anything to be a barrier to students accessing help. If you have further questions about confidentiality, we encourage you to discuss them with your “Let’s Talk” counselor.

I had a fairly simple development task. Once I've done 20 different ways over the years. I have a select control with customers. When it changes I need to load the set of customer shipping addresses. The client code was a combination of jquery ajax calls and a custom client library for rendering/managing to server restful resources. Pretty quickly the code was getting messy! The problem seemed so easy, but the code did not reflect that. I decided to refactor it using backbone.js. I'm going to show you how I solved this problem in this post. It will not cover the basics of backbone.js. It will cover a simple use case and the design I came up with. It also covers some caveats I discovered with backbone.js.
Finally backbone.js has entered my development toolkit. I was waiting for it without even knowing it. It addresses so many issues with typical client code development.
If you don't know what Backbone is, then I suggest you visit backbone.js. They have a number of tutorials. (Including this one.) The docs are solid. Once you bone up on the basics come on back.
I am able to have a 'core' set of helpers, models, templates, and views that are used across applications. This is not really a backbone feature, but because of backbone I setup Jammit this way.
The second thing I really loved was the clear separation between model and view. This just feels so natural having done the same thing on the server side for so many years. I'm going to assume you are familiar with the three basic backbone classes that I'm going to use: Model, Collection and View.
Ok the problem is how to have one select change and then once the change occurs, populate another select with a collection based on the first selected. In my case I have the models 'Customer' and 'Address'. A customer has many shipping addresses. So every time a new customer is selected a different set of shipping addresses need to be loaded.
Let's start by taking a look at the models (you'll see they are trivial).
Ok those were trivial. I like trivial. Now we will look at the collections. These are bound to our select controls.
Again trivial. We tell the collection what our resource url looks like.
Ok, now we get to the meat of the problem. The views. First I did was create a new view that can render a select based on a collection. It has a few other features I'll point out.
The next thing you see are two hashes: events and defaults. Events in views are jquery events and this hash is a shortcut for binding to them. We bind to the change event and call our function triggerDependents. Note: If you extend this 'class' and define an events hash it will take precedence over the base. The defaults hash is used to pre-populate the options with defaults. I've setup the collection and dependent_views as empty arrays (instead of null). I also setup select as null. Although null is not a very useful default , I think it documents what options the class will accept.
We are building the select control using the collection, selected and options passed in.
So far so good. Nice and clean.
OK so were are we at. We have a select control that will notify any dependent views when they are changed. I think we are ready to actually use them. Let's start with the select for customer addresses.
Here you see we are binding to the order_customer_id.change event that will get fired by the customer select. In response to this event we reset our collection. (This will cause a render that will disable the control, while we fetch the new records.) Then we fetch the addresses passing the parent key that our controller expects to filter the addresses.
Note: From a security perspective you are going to want some server side check to make sure the given request is allowed to view the given records. That is clearly beyond the scope of this post!
This is a erb file that is building up the collection of customers on the server. Since we sourced this code from the server, we could save the round trip to fetch the customers. We could have fetched the customers from the client just as easily.
We are passing in the shipping_address_select control as a dependent_view, this hooks up our notifications on change.
Note: if you override the events hash in a derived class you will need to proxy any events that the base class was handling. In my case I ended up deriving a customer select class and wanted to listen to the change event. I lost my dependent view notifications, so in my change function I added a call to triggerDependents. I was not thrilled about this approach. I think preserving events in base classes would be a nice change for backbone.js.
I hope you enjoyed this post. I loved working with Backbone.js and plan on building a full scale view library that makes all the crud operations easy as this.

Family Parsha Parshat Toldot: Siblings, Get Along?
Why are the people closest to us, our siblings, often the hardest to get along with? In this week's Torah portion we learn of the brothers, Jacob and Esau, both sons of Isaac. Esau was so angry and jealous of Jacob that he wanted to do him terrible harm. While quarrels between siblings may be natural, we can strive to be super-natural and do our best to appreciate each other and get along.
In our story, a kid discovers that a brother is more than a bother.
Jack carefully looked both ways before darting out of his room. All was clear. He tiptoed down the hall and lightly pranced down the carpeted steps. He looked at his watch. His 'Friends-to-the-End' club meeting was starting in just a couple minutes and as club founder and president he certainly didn't want to be late.
"Whereya goin, Jack?" his younger brother, Barry, called out from the kitchen.
"To your meeting, right?" Barry asked.
"Maybe," Jack said, snarling. Barry had been hounding him for weeks about the club and he had hoped that this time he'd be able to escape the house unnoticed.
"I'm coming with you, okay?" Barry said, getting up and walking over to him, "I wanna join the club, too."
Jack stepped back. "No way! Do you hear me? No way!" His face flushed with anger.
"Why not? Some kids my age are in your club, like Ed and Steve."
"Ed and Steve are my friends. It's a friends club and you are nothing but my pesky, bratty, yucky brother! Now just forget about it and get lost - you're makin' me late!"
"But why not, Jack?" Barry said with a hurt look on his face. "Why can't I also..."
FWWWWUUUUDDDD! Before Barry finished his sentence, the door had slammed shut and his brother was long gone.
Sprinting to get to the meeting on time, Jack ducked into the old, empty wooden tool shed in the corner of his back yard that they used as a clubhouse, where the five other club members were already waiting.
"Okay," Jack huffed as he slid the lock closed, "first thing on today's agenda is to vote on what color to paint..."
"Hey, you forgot to read the official club creed to start the meeting," Mark, one of the club members, pointed out.
"Oh yeah, right," Jack said. "I just got a little distracted by ... never mind."
"We the members, solemnly declare to stick together, thick and thin. All for one and one for all. To always remember and never forget we're ... we're ..." Jack hesitated.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Mark asked. "Something wrong with the paper?"
"Uh, no," Jack said, and read on. "...never forget that we're not just friends - because friends can end - we're more than friends, we're brothers!"
"Okay," Mark said, "now let's vote on that paint job."
"Um, just a minute, okay?" Jack said, slipping open the lock.
"Hey, where are you going?" Mark asked.
"Reading the creed helped me remembered something important I forgot back in the house," Jack said. "I'll be back in just a minute ... together with our newest member."
Q. How did Jack feel about letting his brother join the club at first?
A. He felt that since he was 'only' his brother, he couldn't join.
A. He realized that a brother is just as important as a friend is - and even more so.
Q. What life-lesson do you think Jack learned that day?
A. He'd put down and not valued his brother, feeling that his friends were much more important. Then when he realized that he and his friends were striving to be as close as brothers, he felt his real brother to be much more valuable and worth getting along with.
Q. Who is closer to us, a friend or a sibling?
A. While both relationships are very valuable and important, there is a special 'blood' closeness that we have with our siblings, which even the closest friendships cannot match.
Q. If siblings are so close, why do they so often fight and not get along?
A. Part of it comes from the closeness itself. When people spend a lot of time together - and not only time they choose - it's very easy to get on each other's nerves. Also, due to the natural closeness of siblings and knowing that nothing can ever break the bond of being related, we can tend to take each other for granted and not treat each other as well as in less 'secure' relationships.
Q. What can we do to get along better with our siblings?
A. One big thing we can do is to simply take care to treat them with the same respect, courtesy and kindness as we would our friends or even a stranger.

Download Book Guillermo Del Toro Cabinet Of Curiosities My Notebooks Collections And Other Obsessions in PDF format. You can Read Online Guillermo Del Toro Cabinet Of Curiosities My Notebooks Collections And Other Obsessions here in PDF, EPUB, Mobi or Docx formats.
Over the last two decades, writer-director Guillermo del Toro has mapped out a territory in the popular imagination that is uniquely his own, astonishing audiences with Cronos, Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, and a host of other films and creative endeavors. Now, for the first time, del Toro reveals the inspirations behind his signature artistic motifs, sharing the contents of his personal notebooks, collections, and other obsessions. The result is a startling, intimate glimpse into the life and mind of one of the world's most creative visionaries. Complete with running commentary, interview text, and annotations that contextualize the ample visual material, this deluxe compendium is every bit as inspired as del Toro is himself. Contains a foreword by James Cameron, an afterword by Tom Cruise, and contributions from other luminaries, including Neil Gaiman and John Landis, among others.
The Mexican film director offers a glimpse into his life and creative process via his notebooks and other personal items, commentary, interview text, and annotations.
Guillermo del Toro is one of the most prolific artists working in film. His directorial work includes Cronos (1993), Mimic (1997), The Devil's Backbone (2001), Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), Pan's Labyrinth (2006), Hellboy II (2008) and Pacific Rim (2013). He has also worked extensively as a producer, with several screenwriting credits to his name. As a novelist he coauthored The Strain Trilogy (2009-2011), which he also developed into a television series for FX in 2014. Del Toro has spoken of the "primal, spiritual function" of his art, which gives expression to his fascination with monsters, myth, archetype, metaphor, Jungian psychology, the paranormal and religion. This collection of new essays discusses cultural, religious and literary influences on del Toro's work and explores key themes of his films, including the child's experience of humanity through encounters with the monstrous.
This book offers a unique argument for the emergence of a post-9/11 vampire that showcases changing perspectives on identity and religion in American culture, offering a look at how cultural narratives can be used to work through trauma. Cultural narratives have long played a valuable role in mediating difficult and politically sensitive topics. Christina Wilkins addresses how the figure of the vampire is used in modern narratives and how it has changed from previous incarnations, particularly in American narratives. The vampire has been a cultural staple for centuries but the current conception of the figure has been arguably Americanized with the rise of the modern American vampire coinciding with the aftermath of 9/11. Wilkins investigates changes evident in cultural representations, and how they effectively mediate the altered approach to issues of trauma and identity. By investing metaphorical tropes with cultural significance, the book offers audiences the opportunity to consider new perspectives and prompt important discussions while also illuminating changes in societal attitudes.

Bruce Tammen conducted the Chicago Chorale Saturday night at Covenant Presbyterian Church,.
If you’ve never heard of the Chicago Chorale, you need to change your Sunday plans and run down to Hyde Park Union Church to catch this afternoon’s matinee.
Now in its 18th season, the Chorale—under the direction of founder/artistic director Bruce Tammen—has grown into one of the most consistently excellent, if still relatively little known, of Chicago’s musical organizations. That this large chorus is able to attain such successful results in intensely demanding repertoire would be an achievement for a professional ensemble; the fact that the Chicago Chorale is made up entirely of amateur singers is simply astonishing.
The concert of music by Baltic and Scandinavian composers, presented Saturday night at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Bucktown, is characteristic of the kind of thoughtful, intelligent yet challenging programs that the Chicago Chorale has been presenting now for nearly two decades under Tammen’s leadership.
The evening’s main work was the Vespers of Einojuhani Rautavaara (1928-2016). The Finnish composer later combined this 1971 work with his Matins, written the following year, to form his Vigilia or, in its full title, “All-Night Vigil in Memory of St. John the Baptist.” But as the Chorale’s remarkable performance showed, the Vespers is fully capable of standing on its own, as originally conceived.
Written specifically for the decidedly odd “Festival of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist,” the Vespers is cast in 14 sections. Rautavaara stated that he wanted to get away from the traditional churchy consolation of more utilitarian brands of 20th-century sacred music. Towards that end, the composer hearkened back to the deep impression made on him by a childhood visit to the island monastery of Valamo.
That experience along with his individual approach here creates an extraordinary work, one of the most distinctive, idiosyncratic and technically demanding sacred choral works of the past half-century. While outwardly traditional in form and structure, Rautavaara appears to be going back to archaic Finnish Christian origins; the music is almost pagan-sounding in this collision of Christian worship and wildly contrasted dynamic and vocal effects.
The Vespers opens with a febrile tenor solo that sounded as idiomatically Finnish as the singing by the full chorus that steals in underneath the soloist.
There is a joyful audacity and love of extremes in Rautavaara’s writing, like a kid experimenting with a new toy. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the bass soloist’s music in Psalm 103 where soloist Daniel Fridley’s subterranean tones seemed to delve deep into Middle Earth with little seeming effort. Fridley was just as nimble in the latter cantorial sections where he related John’s fate, and the dizzyingly steep swoops up and down.
Apart from some hissy sibilants in the “Evening Hymn,” the 64-member Chorale was fully up to the intense technical demands of this music.—whether whispering, pleading in supplication or soaring with confidence, the singers brought remarkable vocal polish, expressive versatility and deep dedication to this performance. Tammen’s direction proved as faultless as ever— alert yet flexible, impeccably balancing sections and seeming to always find ideal tempos throughout.
The second part of the continuous 70-minute program offered a bracing sampler of five shorter works that showcased the rich variety of styles extent among choral music by contemporary composers of Baltic/Scandinavian origins.
Gunnar Eriksson’s arrangement of “Gjendines bådnlåtte” underlined the lullaby-like quality of this Norwegian folk song, as the women’s voices float the tender lullaby’s melody over the men’s three-note counterpoint on “bådnlåtte” (baby). Tammen led a performance that brought out the charm and delicacy of this song, with meticulous dynamic marking in the final section.
Sanctus: London by the Norwegian-American Ola Gjeilo offers strikingly rich harmonies, and the Chorale’s massed voices filled the church with warm, resplendent tone. The Latvian Peteris Vasks’ Pater Noster is wholly characteristic in its cool, Northern luminosity and, here too, the singers rose to an imposing tonal sumptuousness at the climax.
The most strikingly original of the shorter works was Tõnis Kaumann’s Ave Maria. The Estonian composer free-style writing is almost jazz-like in its improvisational solos; the Chorale members acquitted themselves with striking panache here, from a passage that suggests a muezzin-like call to prayer to the madrigal-like writing for women’s voices, which detach to soar heavenward.
Tammen’s scrupulous direction was manifest throughout the program, not least in the closing work, Arvo Pärt’s Nunc dimittis. From the terracing of entering voices, Tammen’s exacting yet flexible control traced the wide dynamic range of Pärt’s setting, from spare tintinnabulatory effects to a majestic peak and back down to a hushed, glowing spiritual solace.

What Can Obama Do in Latin America?
On nearly every issue that could either relieve the suffering of Latin Americans or help the US to win back allies, domestic politics will hinder Obama's range of action.
What if Barack Obama had picked The Nation’s Katrina vanden Heuvel or Democracy Now! anchor Amy Goodman to advise him at the upcoming Summit of seventy-five years ago President Franklin Delano Roosevelt did something just like that, tapping a former Nation editor and fierce critic of US militarism to advise his administration on Latin American policy. As a result–consider this your curious, yet little known, fact of the day–anti-imperialism saved the American empire.
FDR took office in 1933 looking not just to stabilize the US economy but to calm a world inflamed: Japan had invaded Manchuria the year before; the Nazis had seized power in Germany; European imperialists were tightening their holds over their colonies; and the Soviet Union had declared its militant “third period” strategy, imagining that global capitalism, plunged into the Great Depression, was in its last throes.
When, soon after his March inauguration, Roosevelt put forward a call to the “nations of the world” to “enter into a solemn and definitive pact of non-aggression,” the colonialists, militarists and fascists who ruled Europe and Asia balked. Because the new president’s global reach came nowhere near his global ambitions, the London Economic Conference–convened that July by the equivalent of today’s G-20–broke up rancorously over how to respond to that moment’s global meltdown.
Momentum was then building among Latin American nations for a revision of international law, which effectively granted great powers the right to intervene in the affairs of smaller republics. Venezuelan diplomats, for instance, were insisting that the US affirm the principle of absolute sovereignty. Argentines put forth their own “non-aggression” treaty codifying non-intervention as the law of the hemisphere. Caribbean and Central American politicians insisted that detachments of US Marines, then bogged down in counterinsurgencies in Nicaragua, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, get out.
Yet Roosevelt, who had a way of mixing and matching unlikely advisors, also asked Ernest Gruening (recommended by Harvard law professor and soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter) to accompany Hull. In 1964, as a senator from Alaska, Gruening would become famous for casting one of only two votes against the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which President Lyndon Johnson would use to escalate the Vietnam War, but in the 1930s, he was already a committed anti-imperialist.
In the pages of the Nation and other left-wing journals, he had helped expose the use of torture, forced labor and political assassinations that took place under Marine occupations in the Caribbean, atrocities he likened to European brutality in India, Ireland and the Congo. After touring Haiti and the Dominican Republic, he lobbied Congress to cut off the funding of counterinsurgency operations in the region, and he excoriated the “horde of carpet-bagging concessionaires that are the camp-followers of American militaristic imperialism.” That such an uncompromising critic of US diplomacy would be chosen to advise the Secretary of State reflects the strength of the left in the 1930s–and Roosevelt’s willingness to tap it.
Hull, whom Gruening later described as speaking in the thick accent of a born and bred member of the Tennessee gentry, dropping g’s and wrestling with r’s, replied that that would be a hard sell.
“Coming out against intervention would help you get reelected,” Gruening replied. It would, he insisted, help the New Deal jump off the merry-go-round of invasion, occupation and insurgency that had badly crippled US prestige throughout Latin America and much of the world.
He was right. In Montevideo, Gruening helped bridge the gap between US envoys and “anti-American” Latin American diplomats, including those from Cuba where, well before Fidel Castro’s 1959 revolution, serial US interventions had strained relations between Havana and Washington. Most importantly, he reconciled the Secretary of State to the principle of non-intervention.
Not quite, of course. Washington would return to a policy of interventionism in the cold war era. Nonetheless, the importance of this diplomatic sea-change cannot be overstated.
Montevideo was Roosevelt’s first significant foreign policy success, marking a turn in the country’s fortunes as an ascendant superpower. He then ordered the Marines to withdraw from Haiti, while giving the country back its national bank; he abrogated the Cuban constitution’s hated Platt Amendment, which had turned the island into a US vassal-state; and he began to tolerate a degree of economic nationalism in Latin America, including Mexico’s expropriation of the holdings of Standard Oil.
FDR’s enormous popularity in Latin America fired his aspirations to world leadership. Visiting Buenos Aires in 1936, he was greeted by more than a million ecstatic well-wishers who gave him a “wild ovation” and “pelted him with flowers.” Even Buenos Aires’s usually skeptical press heralded him as a “shepherd of democracy,” while hospitals expected an “enormous crop of ‘Roosevelts among baby boys,” despite a ban on foreign names for infants.
Improved relations with Latin America also helped the US recover from the Great Depression. With Asia off limits and Europe headed for war, Washington looked south both for markets for manufactured goods and for raw materials, negotiating trade treaties with fifteen Latin American countries between 1934 and 1942.
More importantly, Latin America became the laboratory for what eventually became known as liberal multilateralism–the diplomatic framework that, after World War II, would allow the United States to accrue unprecedented power. With the League of Nations practically defunct, diplomats began to discuss the possibility of a new “League of the Americas,” which would eventually evolve into both the Organization of American States and the United Nations. (Each would enshrine in its charter the principle of absolute nonintervention.) Roosevelt himself would hold up the “illustration of the republics of this continent” as a model for global postwar reconstruction.
Cordell Hull got the Nobel Peace Prize for helping to found the UN and FDR took credit for overcoming “many times twenty-one different kinds of hate” to “sell the idea of peace and security among the American republics.” But the thanks really should go to anti-imperialists like Gruening and guerrilla fighters like Nicaragua’s Augusto Sandino who rendered militarism an unsustainable foreign policy.
The parallels with today are unmistakable: a global economy in tatters; a new president with a mandate for reform, but blocked abroad by rising rivals and hamstrung by the rapid recession of US power and prestige thanks to years of arrogant, unilateral militarism. And coming on the heels of a London summit of economic powers, a Latin American conference: the Fifth Summit of the Americas to be attended by thirty-four heads of state representing every American country except Cuba.
The last time this summit convened at the Argentinean beach resort town of Mar del Plata in 2005, Argentines greeted George W. Bush not as a shepherd of democracy but as an evangelizer for war, militarism and savage capitalism. Thousands turned up from all over the continent to burn the president in effigy. Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez and Bolivia’s Evo Morales convened a festive parallel “People’s Summit,” while Argentine soccer legend Maradona called Bush “human rubbish” and “a bit of an assassin.” To paraphrase Michael Moore’s Academy Award homage to the Dixie Chicks, when Maradona is against you, your time in Latin America is up.
And so it had, with a left turn that started with Chávez’s 1998 election as Venezuela’s president and still continues apace. Last year, after all, Paraguay elected a liberation theologian as president; and last month, the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front–the guerrilla-group-turned-political party Ronald Reagan spent $6 billion and 70,000 Salvadorean lives trying to defeat in the 1980s–finally came to power in El Salvador.
This week many will be watching to see if Barack Obama, in what will be his first real engagement with Latin America, is ready to reverse course at this summit as Roosevelt did more than three-quarters of a century ago. To the United States, Latin America has not just been a source of raw materials and markets, but a “workshop,” a place where rising foreign-policy coalitions try out new ways to project US power following periods of acute crisis. FDR did it, as did Reagan and the New Right when, in the 1980s, they used Central America to experiment with junking multilateralism, while remilitarizing and remoralizing foreign policy.
But popularity only goes so far. For the first time in many decades, an American president might find that the days when the US could use Latin America as an imperial rehearsal space are drawing to a close.
So what will Obama offer in Trinidad and Tobago? He will, like Hull in 1933, be intent on “radiating goodwill,” but he will not necessarily “be friendly with everyone.” He’s already poisoned the water by insisting that Hugo Chávez is an “obstacle” to progress. Love Chávez or hate him, he is recognized as a legitimate leader by all Latin American countries and is a close ally to many. For eight years, a Bush administration policy of driving a wedge between the rest of the region and the Venezuelan proved a dismal failure, except when it came to increasing the outflow of Washington’s hemorrhaging power in the hemisphere.
On many fronts, however, the president is likely to discover that his real obstacles to progress south of the border lie uncomfortably close to home.
Obama will probably reiterate recent official statements by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, among others, that the United States bears real responsibility for Mexico’s drug-war violence and perhaps bemoan the way an “inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border” fuels drug-related killings. Like every other administration, though, Obama’s will have to answer to the National Rifle Association (NRA), which at this point carries out its own foreign policy.
And so it goes: On nearly every issue that could either actually help relieve the suffering of Latin Americans or allow the US to win back strategic allies, domestic politics will hinder Obama’s range of action, even if not his immediate popularity.
Just recently, a study group made up of some of Latin America’s leading intellectuals and policy-makers, including former presidents of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, declared the US war on drugs a failure and recommended the legalization of marijuana. Obama is obviously sympathetic to this position, having instructed his Justice Department to back off “medical marijuana” prosecutions. But will he be able to de-escalate the war on drugs in Latin America? Not likely.
As a candidate, the president did say he wasn’t opposed to all wars, just stupid ones–and this one is as stupid as they come. It hasn’t lessened narcotics exports to the United States,but has spread violence through Central America into Mexico, while entrenching paramilitary power in Colombia. Plan Colombia, the centerpiece of that war, is a legacy of Bill Clinton’s foreign policy, and much of the $6 billion so far spent to fight it has essentially been direct-deposited in the coffers of corporate sponsors of the Democratic Party like Connecticut’s United Technologies and other Northeastern defense contractors.
Yet Brazil’s cooperation will come at a price, which Obama will have trouble meeting. This country’s baroque and bloated farm subsidy and tariff program–which House and Senate members recently refused to let Obama cut–will prevent the president from bowing gracefully to Lula’s central demand: that the US live up to its rhetoric about free trade and open its economy to Brazil’s competitive agro-industry.
Since the ongoing demonization of Chávez carries absolutely no domestic costs and its easing plenty of potential debits, Obama might be forced to keep up some version of the Bush administration’s hard line, perhaps providing the president cover to moderate rhetoric, if not policy, in real danger spots where far more is at stake–as in the Middle East.
Immigration is one area where Obama might have some room to maneuver, but he would have to overcome the Glenn-Beck wing of the Republican Party. Ordering Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to stop hunting undocumented Latin American workers (as the presidents of Mexico and Central America have demanded) and opening a real path to citizenship would go a long way toward improving relations with southern neighbors. It would also guarantee the loyalty of the Latino vote in 2012 and, by creating millions of new voters, perhaps even pull Texas closer to swing-state status.
Ultimately, however, Obama’s vision will be limited by the smallness of the imaginations of the counselors he has surrounded himself with. There are neither Gruenings nor even Hulls in that crowd. He has kept on George W. Bush’s Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America Thomas Shannon and has picked Jeffrey Davidow to be his special advisor at the summit.
A career diplomat, Davidow’s foreign service has been largely unremarkable, though his first posting was to Guatemala in the early 1970s when US-backed death squads were running wild, and was followed by an assignment as a junior political officer in Chile, where he observed the 1973 US-backed military coup that overthrew elected President Salvador Allende. Committed to the Clinton-era mantra of economic liberalization, these diplomats will never recommend the kind of game-changing ideas Gruening did.
Given that the global financial crisis will dominate this summit, Obama’s appearance will be seen by some as a return to the scene of the crime. After all, it was in Chile that the now-discredited model of deregulated financial capitalism was first imposed. This occurred well before Presidents Reagan and Clinton adopted it in the United States.
As it then spread through most of the rest of Latin America, the results were absolutely disastrous. For two decades, economies stagnated, poverty deepened and inequality increased. To make matters worse, just as a new generation of leftists, taking measures to lessen poverty and reduce inequality, was recovering from that Washington-induced catastrophe, a reckless housing bubble burst in the United States, bringing down the global economy.
Latin Americans will want an accounting. As even Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, a close US ally, put it, “the whole world has financed the United States, and I believe that they have a reciprocal debt with the planet.” Hugo Chávez couldn’t have said it better.

The political establishment went nuclear on President-elect Donald Trump Tuesday with a double-barreled blast of “leaked” “intelligence” reports by CNN and BuzzFeed.
Let’s just take a moment and laugh at how truly hilarious this is.
Two of the largest medial outlets in the world allegedly broke the most outrageous scandal ever concerning a president (elect).
They had proof that the soon to be president was being blackmailed by the Russian government!
Except… It was all a prank. Completely fabricated. Not real.
It was a juicy fake bone thrown to a couple of anti-Trump dogs.
Not only do these two companies have egg all over their face, they now have to deal with the repercussions of slandering the (soon-to-be) most powerful man in the world.
Would hate to be them right now.
With just ten days to go before he is sworn in as America’s forty-fifth president, the political establishment went nuclear on President-elect Donald Trump Tuesday with a double-barreled blast of “leaked” “intelligence” reports by CNN and BuzzFeed.
The documents contain explosive, but unverified, opposition research that alleges intel ties between Russia and Trump and also claims Russia holds sexual blackmail material over Trump.
One of the most outrageous unconfirmed allegations in the report claims the Russians recorded Trump watching Russian prostitutes urinate on each other in a Moscow hotel room previously occupied by President and Mrs. Barack Obama.
Buzzfeed, Cosmopolitan, and CNN got played by 4Chan.
According to the “leaked” “intelligence” documents: Trump disliked Obama so much that he hired two Russian hookers to piss on a bed that Obama slept on in Russia.
And the liberal media ran with this!
The original story was created by 4Chan user.

How to decide between On-prem vs CH?
Can anyone share your knowledge on below thing. How to plan the integration like where it should be housed like on-prem or CH? what is the deciding factors between these two?
@Veejay : All depends on your deployment strategy and product requirements ..
Both on premise private anypoint platform and cloudhub have almost same features. You can create proxy app, implement various policies etc.
However it's actually based on your requirement you will be using.
Currently cloud have some more features like data centre where you can design it in cloud.
Choosing between cloud and on premise depends on organisation and their requirements.
Few financial institutions like banking prefers their entire setup on their on premises platform. They setup their entire private anypoint platform in their on premises platform.
Few other organisations which want to have cloud control and needs to access from a centralised location in cloud across the organisation and their branches,they prefer cloud setup.
