It feels strange to be immersed in The Fatigue Of Sunlight And Wine during a particularly bitter evening November, shut away in my bedroom with tea close at hand and a strong incense thickening in the air. Surely the mood is all wrong. How can the album’s core scenario manifest – of “lying in the sun after a particularly liquid lunch, being absorbed into the light and the colour”, as Map 165’s Tim Hooper puts it – when its illusionary atmosphere must combat against the polar opposite as it exists in the real world, of an immobilizing and invasive winter cold?
Those that have actually experienced fatigue as induced by sunlight and wine will perhaps agree that it’s a particularly potent experience, and even in my current situation, makes for an extremely vivid recollection. A “pleasing oppression” as Martin A. Smith puts it; the sense of being enveloped by warmth and bliss, most commonly associated with summer holiday escapes to places of embracing heat and minimal day-to-day activity. So strongly is this sensation conjured by Map 165’s debut album that the time of year suddenly seems irrelevant – The Fatigue Of Sunlight And Wine wafts out of my speakers like a heater up full blast, clamming the cold air with a gooey warmth and radiance.
The album was recorded in Tarascon in Southern France, and just as with Smith’s solo album Salt (which was inspired by the salt plains of the Camargue), the music evokes its distinctive sense of place through a combination of field recordings and the more explicitly musical elements. Guitars and keyboards drift gently across and within the sounds of Tarascon’s marketplaces and hilltops, with serene melodies dragged softly through the scorched fields and stony streets. The two are beautifully merged – field recordings provide the distinctive shapes of the commune’s people and activities, while the blotches of electronics and bright bursts of guitar cast these scenarios into glorious, beaming colour. Place and mood are thus beautifully married, with the listener immersed in both Tarascon and the tipsy, heavy heat that goes with it.

Adam Voigt: Changing context is a start to changing student behaviour.
It’s not too often that I recommend teachers take pedagogical advice from real estate agents … but this is the exception.
For they clearly have our measure when it comes to the understanding that location is everything. Real estate agents are acutely aware that you can’t build a palace in a swamp and expect your prospective buyers to be gushing in their praise and reaching for their chequebooks. You see – location (or context in teacher parlance) really is everything if you are looking for a specific desired behaviour.

The point of all this is that you can generate changes in behaviour by changing the environment or context in which certain behaviours are occurring. Try delivering explicit teaching from a different vantage point – like sitting on a stool – to see what the levels of engagement are.

Great teachers already intuitively know the impact of context. Their classrooms have an air of excitement and feel like great places to learn or even just to be. But never believe that this has emerged by blind luck. These wonderful teachers have spent their whole careers in cycles of contextual trial and error.

According to Guardian, mortgage loans reached a new height in the beginning of 2013. In January 2013, the number of approved homebuyer mortgages reached 55,785 in comparison to 50,058 during the previous months. Mortgage lending increased by one billion pounds but there is still a gap between the money loaned and the amounts repaid.
Getting a mortgage is a necessary step for many families but this task is quite complicated. To get a mortgage, you will have to do some research and complete a number of preliminary steps. Many people commit grave mortgage mistakes that interfere with the repayment and make the family’s financial situation even more challenging.
Basic mistakes in the process lead to significant overcharging, a Daily Mail article reads. Some of these mistakes force individuals to pay a very high interest rate for as many, as 15 years. Customers are often confused by the fine print in the agreements, by opportunities to switch mortgage providers and by a decision to move houses, the article concludes. As a result, these people end up spending much more on the mortgage than they initially planned.
Some mortgage mistakes are quite common and the following list includes the biggest shortcomings. Learning how to deal with those is essential for successful and efficient money lending.
Credit history plays an important role in determining a person’s eligibility for a mortgage and for the interest rate.
Failing to fix one’s credit score in advance is probably one of the biggest mortgage-related mistakes. Attempting to improve the credit score months before applying for a mortgage is the only way to remedy the situation. Apart from leading to bad mortgage conditions, a poor credit history could also result in a rejection.
To deal with financial difficulties and to overcome problems in the credit report, families should consider working with professionals.
Some people commit the grave mistake of applying for a personal credit and for a mortgage at the same time.
Individuals that apply for a loan will be considered a greater credit risk. As a result, the mortgage conditions are going to be less attractive than expected and the interest rate could possibly be higher.
People applying for a mortgage need to keep in mind that a personal or a vehicle loan will affect their credit score, which will result in the first mistake.
A housing payment consists of several components. Failing to look at all of them will result in incorrect mortgage calculations.
The typical mortgage payment consists of several elements like principal payment, the interest rate, the taxation and the insurance. So many people forget about the taxes and they are in for unpleasant surprises after signing the documents. You may find mortgage calculator at Zillow quite intelligent with tax calculations and other advanced options.
Property taxes could sum up to a significant amount. People that want a mortgage should calculate the taxes before agreeing to anything, in order to figure out whether the conditions are acceptable.
Desperate to get money immediately? You may feel tempted to accept the first possibility without thinking twice. Many other people will commit the same mistake, which means that they will be agreeing to less than perfect conditions.
Speaking to only one lender is probably the most common mistake. The majority of people will usually consider their bank or a financial institution that they have worked with in the past. The deal that the financial institution has to offer may be disadvantageous but you will have no way of knowing, unless you shop around.
Internet is an excellent way to get started with the research. You can easily compare lending options and the conditions that different financial institutions offer. Shopping around will take place in the comfort of your own home and you will simply have to visit the offices of the lenders that you like. Get your final questions answered and select the lending option that is most profitable.
Certain mortgage opportunities should be avoided because experts label them as “ticking time bombs.” Although the conditions may appear to be attractive at the time, such loans come with hidden dangers.
Variable rate mortgages are one of the types to stay away from. The mortgages lure home owners with low interest rates at the beginning. The interest rates, however, have the potential to increase significantly in the future. The variable rate mortgage is a very bad idea for a long-term borrower.
The financial crisis forced many people into giving variable rate mortgages a try but the problem is that lenders can increase the interest at any point of time. Fixing the problem is possible, even if you have taken this kind of mortgage. Switching to a fixed rate mortgage is a viable possibility.
The second trap involves interest-only mortgages. In the case of this lending option, you will accumulate no equity. According to a recent article by The Independent, many home buyers relied on interest-only mortgages before the financial crisis. This was their attempt to get the home of their dreams. As the financial crisis struck, many became incapable of repaying the mortgage. For mortgage fraud issues visit visit Forths forensic accountants, they’re the largest Forensic Accountancy boutique in the United Kingdom.
Is It a Bad Idea to Borrow Too Much?
Finally, some people will feel tempted to borrow a lot of money, which is a common and detrimental lending mistake.
People typically get a large loan, hoping that they income will increase in the future and that they will be capable of paying it off completely. The risk, however, is very significant and many find themselves incapable of repaying the loan. . Alexander Hall, John Charcol, and LCPLC are some of the reliable mortgage brokers you can rely on that offer mortgage on easy and flexible conditions.
Large mortgages are a major trap, especially when it comes to first-time home buyers. Such individuals have no idea how expensive the maintenance of a house can be. There would be property taxes, as well, and other types of expenditure that will make house ownership much more expensive than renting property. This is why the mortgage sum has to remain adequate and manageable in comparison to your current financial situation, rather than being based on some future possibility.
Being smart when taking a mortgage is essential. Some preliminary research and a consultation with a professional will help you escape the hidden traps. In order to feel comfortable with the loan, you have to pick the option that feels comfortable and that will be relatively easy to manage.

The layman has some preconceived notions of what may offer the best asset protection. Surprisingly, most of the strategies commonly believed to protect assets do not, and some may even cause more harm than good.
What is the best asset protection money can buy?
What is the best asset protection? Many people ask me to cut to the chase, especially those that are self-employed, wishing to safeguard their assets from bankruptcy, lawsuits, long-term care costs as well as many other financial pitfalls. Often these business people look to what is easy and on the surface. That which is easy and that one can do themselves is not always the best option.
One of the first things people think of to preserve assets for their heirs is to just give it to them. The gift is already made, so the assets are safe, right? First you must wait for the 4-5 year lookback for gifts (it varies in every state). If one is within that timeframe, a creditor can convince a judge to order a clawback. Yes, a clawback is where the assets that would have been available for the creditor are forced back to the defendant in order to pay off that creditor. Assuming one get beyond the 4-5 year window, we will consider another pitfall with this strategy.
Many children are not quite as responsible as one might hope. Let’s say Mr. and Mrs. B have $500,000 sitting in an account and they don’t really need it to live. They don’t want to lose it to medical bills, so they decide to give it to their daughter. Their daughter is a graduate of a well known college and has a great job. Soon she is promoted, celebrates a little too much and smashes into an oncoming vehicle. Is that $500,000 safe now?
Others think an LLC is the answer. They take what money they have, start an investment LLC and continue to run that LLC as if it were their own money. They think because they filed a piece of paper, that the assets are safe. Well, a good lawyer will “pierce the corporate veil.” This means they will prove to the court that the LLC is actually a front for the person who owns it. The attempt to safeguard the assets actually makes them not safeguarded. There are so many rules surrounding LLCs and other corporate hybrids, that it would be difficult not to run afoul of them and subject assets to outside creditors.
Next, people put assets into revocable trusts in order to bypass probate court upon their death and leave specific instructions for the distribution of those assets to their beneficiaries. They mistakenly believe that their assets are safe for the next generation. The truth is that aside from protecting against a few attorneys fees upon their death, they didn’t protect anything. The simple truth is that anything that one can get control over, a creditor may get control over. So the fact that a trust is revocable, meaning it can be tossed aside and the contents recovered means that there is absolutely no protection from creditors, the nursing home, Medicaid, etc.
Lastly there is the irrevocable trust; specifically an irrevocable trust with an independent trustee. The irrevocable trust ranks at the top of asset protection in this group. One of the keys to good asset protection is the art of not owning anything. With an irrevocable trust, one can own nothing and still continue to enjoy assets as if they did; and the courts have supported this for 150 years – see some of the most important cases here.
An irrevocable trust has advantages of all of the above methods of asset protection with none of the pitfalls when properly drafted, executed, and funded. First, this asset protecting vehicle, like giving the assets to one’s children, gets the assets out of one’s name. After the assets are in the trust when properly drafted, executed, and funded, anybody suing cannot get at them, because the person that created the trust can’t even get at the assets. Furthermore, the children’s creditors don’t have access either. So the assets sit safely in trust waiting to be distributed to the beneficiaries (more on this later). Moreover, the assets in the trust won’t be seen by anyone trying to discover one’s personal wealth. This has the added bonus of privacy and discouraging would-be contingent fee lawyers from even taking on a case in the first place.
The irrevocable trust can also hold an LLC thereby doubling the LLC’s asset protection qualities. Now if a lawyer should try to pierce the LLC, they would only end up in the irrevocable trust. If the LLC is the only thing in the trust, then the creditor has nothing to collect. A separate irrevocable trust would hold the rest of the assets far away from the LLC and far away from creditors.
Like a revocable trust, an irrevocable trust can instruct the trustee who, what, when, if and how assets are distributed. Unlike the revocable trust, because the grantor can’t get to the assets, neither can anyone who wishes to collect from the grantor. These instructions are almost limitless and last long after the death of the grantor. Let’s say that a parent values education. They could put right in the trust that the trust will pay for education and if the child earns a college degree, then they get Â½ of the assets at that time and Â½ at age 35. Basically, the trust is flexible enough that a grantor could set up goals, objectives, or incentives just like if they were alive to see it.
There may be some more expensive ways to safeguard assets, but for the most bang for the buck, an irrevocable trust is the best asset protection for the average person. In fact, the irrevocable trust can be found in the estate plans of the super rich also. A good solid irrevocable trust can protect and provide for a family for years with the assets safely tucked away.

Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital, located in La Grange, Illinois provides primary care, trauma care and wellness services to the residents of the western suburbs. This 205-bed facility has maintained a high level of medical excellence in the community since 1955. In 2006, Adventist opened up a 255,000 square foot, state-of-the-art, Patient Care Center. The care center furthers the hospital’s dedication to the community and mission of providing compassionate healthcare. Recently, Adventist bought three York Chillers for their facility (an over $500,000 investment). The new units deliver cool clean air to the sterile surgical wards.
Due to the location of the hospital, there was a major problem with cottonwood seeds. Cottonwood seeds clog vents and coat coils so the systems had to work harder, increasing energy costs and the risk of equipment damage. During cottonwood season, two maintenance workers were spending 3 to 4 hours per day cleaning the units.
Adventist units were losing efficiency and many man hours were wasted cleaning them. Something had to be done and Permatron had the perfect solution!
Custom designed PreVent Air Intake Filters were installed on the outside of the York units, custom sized to cover and protect each air intake’s exact dimensions. Finished with a vinyl edge and grommets, the filters were installed easily and securely with mount clips. The UV protected, electrostatic polypropylene media prevents contaminants from reaching coils in the first place. Cleaning debris will now be a breeze! These air intake filters can be brushed clean with a broom or shop vac as needed.

The adaptive immune system can be considered as the more educated line of defense. It has more knowledge of the world and is adapted to fighting against specific foreign invaders.
If we think of the innate immune system as the ambulance, the adaptive immune system is like the hospital. It has an excellent memory which records every important encounter and is able to perform very specific operations.
It’s high level of intelligence does come at a cost though, which is a much slower response time. For example, if the innate immune response is activated within seconds of an encounter, the adaptive immune system can take days (or even weeks) to develop it’s response.
The adaptive immune response isn’t always slow. Since it’s able to learn and memorize encounters, it begins working more efficiently over time. This allows it to respond much faster against foreign invaders/substances (antigens) it has previously encountered.
The adaptive immune system isn’t actually present at birth, but instead it has to develop over time. It learns from each encounter and records relevant information for future use.
Because of it’s more advanced tactics and longer response times, the adaptive immune system doesn’t always need to activate. If the innate immune system can adequately deal with the issue at hand, there is not need for adaptive immunity to kick into gear.
Though the discussion doesn’t go into too much detail, it aims to provide an overall understanding of how the adaptive immune system functions. And since some of the literature on seborrheic dermatitis suggests potential links to adaptive immunity [1, 2, 3], this understanding may prove quite relevant.

Disassembly of the Tabán commences.
Budapest is occupied by the Germans. At the time of the occupation, there were 184,000 Jews and about 65-80 thousand Christians considered Jewish in the town. Fewer than half of them (approximately 119,000) survived the following 11 months.
Soviet and Romanian troops besiege Budapest. 15 Jan-18 Jan. The retreating Germans blow up all Danube bridges. On Jan. 18, Pest and the Ghetto in Pest are completely liberated. The Buda castle falls on Feb 13. World War II took the lives of close to two hundred thousand Budapest residents. Heavy damage to the buildings.
The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 breaks out, ending in the invasion of a large Soviet force.
Wartime damages are by and large corrected. Bridges are rebuilt, the last one, the Elizabeth Bridge is rebuilt in 1965.
We set off to tour Buda, Pest, and Obuda (Old Buda).
Budapest is the largest city and capital of Hungary, and is considered an important hub in Central Europe. In 2008, Budapest had 1,702,297 inhabitants, down from a mid-1980s peak of 2.1 million. The city covers an area of 202.7 sq mi within the city limits.
The first settlement on the territory of Budapest was Ak-Ink which means Abundant Water, built by Celts before the birth of Christ. It was later occupied by the Romans. The Roman settlement - Aquincum - became the main city of Lower Pannonia in 106 AD. The Romans constructed roads, amphitheaters, baths and houses with heated floors in this fortified military camp.
The Hungarians (Magyars) probably were from nomadic nature-worshipping Pagan tribes that came from Mongolia and Siberia. They took over from the Slavs settled in the territory at the end of the 9th century and a century later officially founded the Kingdom of Hungary. The King issued a decree requiring everyone to adopt the Christian faith in 1000 AD. The Tatar (Mongol) invasion by Genghis Khan in the 13th century quickly proved that defense is difficult on a plain. King Béla IV of Hungary therefore ordered the construction of reinforced stone walls around the towns and set his own royal palace on the top of the protecting hills of Buda. In 1361 it became the capital of Hungary, and one of the centers of Renaissance humanist culture.
In around 1500 AD The Turks invaded and incorporated it into the Ottoman Empire. The Turkish occupation lasted for more than 140 years and left mainly destruction, although the Turks constructed some fine bathing facilities. The western part of the country not occupied by the Turks became part of the Habsburg Empire as Royal Hungary. In 1686 Leopold I liberated Buda from the Ottomans but almost destroyed the city during the battle. The Habsburg Empire then took over Hungary as the new occupiers In WW I they chose the wrong side (the Germans), so at the end of the war the Austria-Hungarian Empire lost about 50% of their territory. They chose the wrong side again in WW II.
Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with the unification on 17 November 1873, of right-bank (west) Buda and Óbuda (Old Buda) together with Pest on the left (east) bank.
Budapest became the second capital of Austria-Hungary, a great power that dissolved in 1918.
The nineteenth century was dominated by the Hungarian's struggle for independence and modernization. The national insurrection against the Habsburgs began in the Hungarian capital in 1848 and was defeated a little more than a year later.
1867 was the year of Reconciliation that brought about the birth of Austria-Hungary. This made Budapest the twin capital of a dual monarchy. It was this compromise which opened the second great phase of development in the history of Budapest, lasting until World War I. In 1873 Buda and Pest were officially merged with the third part, Óbuda (Ancient Buda), thus creating the new metropolis of Budapest. Dynamic Pest grew into the country's administrative, political, economic, trade and cultural hub.
World War I brought the Golden Age to an end. In 1918 Austria-Hungary lost the war and collapsed; Hungary declared itself an independent republic. In 1920 the Treaty of Trianon finalized the country's partition, reducing Hungary's size by two-thirds and turning the multinational state into a nation-state.
In 1944, towards the end of World War II, Budapest was partly destroyed by British and American air raids. From 24 December, 1944 to 13 February 1945, the city was besieged during the Battle of Budapest. Budapest suffered major damage caused by the attacking Soviet troops and the defending German and Hungarian troops. All bridges were destroyed by the Germans. More than 38,000 civilians lost their lives during the fighting.
Between 20% and 40% of Greater Budapest's 250,000 Jewish inhabitants died through Nazi and Arrow Cross genocide during 1944 and early 1945. Despite this, Budapest today has the highest number of Jewish citizens per capita of any European city.
In 1949, Hungary was declared a communist People's Republic. The new Communist government considered the buildings like the Buda Castle symbols of the former regime, and during the 1950s the palace was gutted and all the interiors were destroyed.
In 1956, peaceful demonstrations in Budapest led to the outbreak of the Hungarian Revolution. The Stalinist dictatorship collapsed after mass demonstrations, but Soviet tanks entered Budapest to crush the revolt. Fighting continued until early November, leaving more than 3000 dead.
Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, its World Heritage Sites include the banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, Andrássy Avenue, and the Millennium Underground Railway, the first on the European continent.
We took a Budapest city tour, with Yudit (Judith) as our local guide and Chaba as our driver. Budapest is laid out on a wheel with radial streets coming out from the center. We saw the modern white and green Hungarian National Theatre, the Petrofi bridge, The Grand Boulevard (a semi-circular road ending on the Margaret Bridge). We saw the Gellert Hotel and Spa (with old Roman baths) on the Buda side, and then the Houses of Parliament (like a huge wedding cake) on the Pest side.

Q:	There doesn't seem to be much difference between Eastern Orthodox and Catholicism. Why did they split and go to war over it?
A:	The difference wasn't just religion, it was nationalism.
Q:	Is there a difference between feelings toward the the USA between Eastern European countries and Western European countries?
A:	There is a greater envy, and some influence from the old KGB media messages. There is some anti-US feeling, but much much less than there is in Western Europe. Lorin's mom was in favor of the Iraq War “because there is one dictator less.” Emil said that for Bulgarians, Iraq War is a non issue. Economic growth is 7-8% and all they are doing is focusing on making money.
Q:	I see a lot of people with tattoos. Is there any worry about AIDS?
A:	In Bulgaria there is an openness about AIDS. There are about 150 new cases per year.
Q:	The corn fields look very dry!
A:	Every fall Bulgarians dig deeply (about a foot) into the ground. Bulgarians don['t usually use fertilizers. Their crops are subsidized by the EU. Farmers prefer to use their own seeds from the previous harvest.
We saw the St. Ishtvan (St. Stephen) Catholic cathedral. We went into the Mathias Church.

This is a vibrant and beautiful tarot that features exotic creatures and antique enchanted artifacts. Originally created as a companion piece to a graphic novel. You can see all of the card artwork here. Or scroll down to learn more about the deck.
ABOUT THIS DECK: The Butterfly Circus Lenormand deck is a beautifully bright and colorful take on the traditional Lenormand deck. In our circus you will find old card symbolism told through sleek silhouetted performers and simple imagery. Each card is not only its own representation of its place in the Lenormand deck but also a vibrant snapshot of a moment within our butterfly show. It was originally born from a short story by our shoppe artist titled Mirabai Jasper’s Traveling Butterfly Circus.
DECK DETAILS: The cards are 2.75″ x 4.75″ in size. They’re printed on 300gsm card-stock that is sturdy and has a smooth finish. Cards have a blue core that helps prevent transparency of the card so both sides feature brilliant colors. They’re very easy to shuffle and good for everyday use. This version includes just the book and deck, with a few mini prints of shoppe artwork as our thank you for adopting our deck. You can see all of the card artwork here.

text: Most Valuable Student Competition for more information: email scholarshipinfo@wdmelks.com The Elks National Foundation will award 500 four-year scholarships to the highest-rated applicants in the competition. Any high school senior who is a citizen of the United States is eligible to apply. Applicants need not be related to a member of the Elks. College students are not eligible to apply. Applicants must be citizens of the United States on the date their applications are signed; resident alien status does not qualify. Male and female students compete separately. Applicants will be judged on scholarship, leadership, and financial need. All scholarships are in the form of certificates of award conditional upon the full-time enrollment of the winner in an accredited U.S. college or university. Applications must advance through local, district and state competition to reach the national competition. The Chicago office of the Elks National Foundation will announce the 500 national winners, and notify them in writing, around May 15, 2010. (Many local Lodges, districts and state Elks associations award their own scholarships through this program. These scholarships are not to be confused with the 500 Elks National Foundation Most Valuable Student Scholarships.) Ranging from $1,000 per year to $15,000 per year, Most Valuable Student scholarships are for students pursuing a four-year degree, on a full-time basis (minimum of 12 semester hours), in a U.S. American college or university. Requests for additional information should be addressed to the scholarship chairman of the local Lodge or of the Elks association of the state in which the applicant is a resident. 2010 Most Valuable Student Award Offers 500 Four-Year Awards for the 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-2014 Academic Years Four-Year Total Award No. of Awards Total First Place $60,000 2 $120,000 Second Place $40,000 2 $80,000 Third Place $20,000 2 $40,000 Fourth Place $16,000 2 $32,000 Fifth Place $12,000 2 $24,000 Sixth Place $10,000 4 $40,000 Seventh Place $8,000 4 $32,000 Runners Up $4,000 482 $1,928,000 Total: $2,296,000 =========================================================== The Legacy Awards Following are answers to common questions about the Elks National Foundation's ENF Legacy Awards scholarship contest. Through its three scholarship programs, the Elks National Foundation awards more than $3 million a year in college scholarships. Legacy Awards are one-year, $1,000 scholarships. The Foundation offers a total of up to 500 awards. Who is Eligible? 1. Any child or grandchild (or step-child, step-grandchild, or legal ward) of a living Elk who joined the order on or before April 1, 2008, or a charter member of a Lodge that was instituted on or after April 1, 2008, is eligible to apply. The Elk must also be a paid-up member through March 31, 2010. Great-grandchildren are not eligible. The applicant must be a high school senior. The applicant must apply through the related member's Elks Lodge, regardless of where the applicant resides. If the applicant's parent and grandparent are both Elk members, the applicant must apply through the parent's Elks Lodge. Students may apply for more than one ENF scholarship; however, they may win only one. In cases where the student qualifies for more than one, we will award the scholarship with the greater value. Legacy Awards may only be applied to accredited US American schools, colleges or universities. (Note: Applicants from Guam, Panama, Puerto Rico and the Philippines may apply Legacy Awards toward schools, colleges or universities in their respective homes.) Applicants must take the Scholastic Aptitude Test or the American College Test. How Do I Apply, and What Are the Deadlines? Eligible students should apply in the following manner: Obtain a Legacy Award Application from your local Lodge, visit the Elks website to download an application, or send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Elks National Foundation. Applications will be in the Lodges and online by September 1, 2009. The student must complete the application and return it to the Elks National Foundation postmarked no later than January 11, 2008, along with an up-to-date transcript of grades, SAT or ACT score results, and two letters of recommendation, including one from a high school teacher. Be sure you obtain the required signatures. The Elk parent or grandparent with longest continuous membership completes part two of the required signature section; Lodge Secretary completes part three. (Note to Secretaries: You many verify membership before the application is completed.) Upon receipt of the application, the applicant will receive a notification that the application was received. Note: Because the contest begins in one Lodge year and the winners are announced in the next, a Legacy Award could go to the child or grandchild of a lapsed member. An applicant?s Elk parent or grandparent must be a paid-up member in good standing at the time of application, but if the Elk chooses not to renew membership, that decision will not affect the outcome of the Legacy Awards contest. Who Will I Compete Against and how are the quotas determined? Children and grandchildren will compete separately against other children and grandchildren in their state. Each state is eligible to receive a number of awards based on its past support of the Elks National Foundation. Due to IRS regulations, the Foundation may award Legacy Awards to no more than 25 percent of the applicants in each state. Each state's quota is divided evenly among children and grandchildren. In states where the quota is an uneven number, the extra award is allocated to children of Elks, rather than grandchildren. Who Selects the Legacy Award Winners? The Selection Committee is appointed by the ENF Board of Trustees, and consists of professionals who are not connected with either the Elks National Foundation or the BPO Elks of the USA. The Selection Committee is responsible for the confidential review of each applicant's file. They determine the Legacy Award winners. All decisions are final. How Will Applications Be Judged? The ENF Legacy Awards contest provides educational assistance to children and grandchildren of Elk members who are high school seniors, going on to college, and exhibit the core values of the Elks National Foundation: Knowledge Charity Community Integrity The Selection Committee judges applications based on the above values. There will be no further investigation of the prospective students or their parents with respect to financial need or other personal matters. How Will the Awards Be Administered? Award winners will be announced on or around May 1. The award becomes final when the student accepts it and actually enrolls in an accredited U.S. American school, college or university. The award money will be apportioned equally by period (semester, trimester, quarter, etc.). Legacy Awards are evidenced by a Certificate of Award issued by the Chicago office of the Elks National Foundation. All checks are paid directly to the school; under no circumstance can we make payment directly to the student. The scholarship monies may be used for tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board. In order to receive payment, a student must have the school send a completed Verification of Enrollment form to our Chicago office. We will then issue our check, payable to the school, and mail it directly to the school to establish a credit in the name of the student. We will notify the student when we mail the check. If a student leaves school for any reason, the undisbursed balance of the scholarship must be returned directly to the Foundation's Chicago office. It may not be transferred to another school, and it may not be paid to the student personally. In all of our scholarship programs, it is the responsibility of the student to follow up on all matters relating to his or her scholarship. In all correspondence relating to a student who has won or is applying for a Legacy Award, we must have the full name and Social Security number of the student. Where Can I Get More Information about the ENF Legacy Awards Program or the Elks National Foundation? scholarship@elks.org 773/755-4732 Elks National Foundation 2750 N. Lakeview Ave. Chicago, IL 60614-2256 ========================================================== Emergency Educational Grants The Emergency Educational Grant program provides financial assistance to children of deceased or totally disabled Elks, who wish to obtain or further their college education. Grant amounts are based on the information submitted in the application and can range up to $4,000. The grant is for one year only; however, the student may submit up to three annual renewal applications for succeeding years as long as he or she meets all other eligibility requirements. The applicant cannot accept more than one ENF scholarship/grant in any one academic year. New applications should be filed between July 1 and December 31. Renewal applications must be filed between July 1 and October 31. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered. The grant is for educational assistance only and not intended to cover the entire cost of a college education. Assistance cannot be extended beyond four years. Before applying, please be sure that the applicant meets the following eligibility guidelines. The Elk parent or stepparent must have been a member in good standing for at least one year at the time of his or her death. or The Elk parent or stepparent must have been a member in good standing for at least one year before he or she became totally disabled and must continue to be an Elk in good standing when application for assistance is made. All circumstances surrounding the death or disability of the Elk parent or stepparent are subject to the review of the Elks National Foundation. The outcome of the review may effect grant approval. The applicant must demonstrate financial need to qualify for a grant under this program. The applicant must be unmarried, under the age of 23 as of Dec. 31 in the year of application, and attending a U.S. college or university as a full-time (12 semester hours) undergraduate student. All applications -- new and renewal -- must be submitted to, and processed by, the Lodge where the Elk parent or stepparent is or was a member. Be sure to use the checklist on the application to ensure that all necessary paperwork has been included. The Lodge must investigate the application, and submit a letter of endorsement with the application. After the vote of the Lodge, the Lodge Secretary must complete the portion of the application as noted. These steps must be followed on all new AND renewal applications. As soon as possible after the student has turned the application in to the Lodge, the Scholarship Committee should conduct its investigation, and the Lodge should follow up with a vote, so that the application can be submitted to the ENF office. The ENF office does not mail applications for this program in bulk quantities. With each new printing, we may make several changes to the application, so we want to be sure that the Lodges have the most up-to-date application. The Lodge or the student may request an Emergency Educational Grant application from the ENF Chicago office by contacting 773/755-4732 or scholarship@elks.org.

I'm hoping to decorate some of my SHs a little to serve for my Mandalorian clan and my Imperial characters. Unfortunately, decos are... a lot. As evidenced by my nexu quest I am horrible at acquiring credits, and it's tough for me to find stuff on the GTN, so, I am turning to all of you wonderful people!
Some information on Clan Veshkgalaar can be found on their Holonet Page. My Sith is new, but the SH will be hosting him and his family (typical Sith decos are great, for any kind of Sith character type), and my Imperial Agent (who is a very techy/cyborg type character with a background as an Imperial trooper). When the SHs are done the Imp one at least will become a public RP spot!
Does anyone have any Sith and/or Mando themed stuff they can donate to the cause?
Additionally, if anyone has some Regal Banners (any color) and Tusken Partitions those are also something I am looking for for Tira'Noth.
I have some! Catch me when I'm in game!
You are the best!! I'm in-game now, and usually am in the afternoon and very late at night.
Looking for Banner: Mandalorian (Large) to complete the SH for this Wednesday's event. I realize this is a shot in the dark, though, so I'm not too worried about it! The basics for what is needed are all set down.
This seemingly innocent storefront boasts cutting-edge cybernetics and weapons and armor-grade computer technology. Rooms include a lobby/storefront with ads and displays; a merchant area filled with items for sale or display; a waiting room for clients awaiting surgery to install their orders; and a surgery room equipped for on-the-spot installation or repairs.
Little do customers of this small cyber-store know that the entire shop is just a front for Sith Intelligence. More specifically, it's a front for an Intelligence-only cantina where Agents can go to relax, take off their masks, and be themselves for a little while in between missions without worrying about surveillance, protocol, or politics.
- things that look like regular furniture like beds, couches, tables, etc.
Thank you to everyone who has helped out with decorations so far! You all are amazing and are the reason I'm able to create RP spaces like this. Especially @Seraphie and @Malkisho who offered a couple things towards this project specifically.
I'm looking for at least one copy each of the following decos. Bold ones are prioritized over the others.
Most of these are to have them just so that I can donate en masse to my Mando guild. If you have any of these and are willing to part with them let me know!
As do I, but I've dropped down to preferred due to not playing SWTOR anymore, so not sure it'd be very efficient seeing as I can only do 350k worth at a time. If you are still missing some items though after Mei donates, update the thread and we can work something out, should I have the remaining items.
@Mei and @Sebrik - That would be wonderful, thank you! Every little bit helps. I can run around the SH with you two so we can figure out which pieces are most needed and are within your budgets. I'm online on Urziya right now. Just let me know!
Understandable! Enjoy your sports watching!
I'd have donated in larger quantities but like I said, I can only do so many at a time being preferred. I have to log on to different characters to be able to deposit 350k in my Legacy bank, so that I can pull out those increments on my Mando character. And I only have so many characters, and the 350k doesn't refill when I deposit into the legacy bank. So my millions are unfortunately in escrow and cannot donate en masse.
Thanks Seb! Sorry I wasn't able to catch you, could have helped guide what we did and didn't need in large quantities. But this should help me complete the bounty room.
Donated a flesh raider camp and a couple of each of the barricades and two hanging ribs. I had already donated one of each of those planning tables. Were you wanting a second?
I think I have all the jukeboxes, so let me know which you'd like and I can donate it.
The crafting node decorations can be donated but they're rather expensive to do so. Buying copies is most often cheaper. I donated a bunch of the computer looking slicing ones and two each of a bunch of the plants.
I also donated some utility items - item modification station, hold, mailbox, legacy storage.
I'm also emailing you some items for you to unlock them personally, so you can then donate as many copies as you want.
Thanks so much Seraphie! I'll have to check up on each of the jukeboxes, but Underworld Classics and Stellar Hits are the most thematically appropriate.
I appreciate the guild donations a lot, but also feel a little bad that I should have clarified some of this list are personal too, so I could set up a small enclave in a personal SH and have them for donation purposes in the future. There's a limit to the number of centerpiece hooks available, so we really don't need that many centerpiece decos donated and are already over the limit of what we could physically place down (and short on the smaller things that we do need a lot of). Most of these I wanted so I would have them to unlock on an as-needed basis, which is why I didn't include numbers of what was needed. That said, I guess extras can come in handy if we ever rearrange things or unlock a guild ship.

Hello! I am a special education teacher - responsible, dedicated, conscientious and budget conscious. I try to travel with my daughter as often as possible.
I'm always looking for a travel adventure so I can show my daughter the world, yet my greatest limitation is money. Housesitting affords both of us the opportunity to see the world while staying low budget while also providing an authentic cultural experience.
I have been a devoted pet lover for my entire life. Currently, we have one cat and one hermit crab, but I have had large and small dogs, rats and fish as well. I will treat your home and your pets with warmth, love and respect, as if they were my own.

Art stimulates creativity and imagination. It provides visual, tactile and sensory experiences, responding to the world using self-expression. As a visual language, it enables you to express emotions, moods and personal feelings. Art encourages confident communication of what you see, feel and think through the use of colour, texture, form and pattern using a variety of different materials and processes. It incorporates taking influences and relating work of other artists and designers in historical, social, cultural, political and economic contexts focusing on the appreciation and enjoyment of the visual arts enriches all our lives.
In Year 7 & 8, pupils will build foundation skills needed in Art and Design in order to consolidate and expand upon skills learnt at Primary School. Initial focus will be on widening and developing their experience and skills using a variety of media, materials and techniques. Exploring tonal values, with control of a pencil to develop tone and directional light and shade. Practicing these skills at home is vital to pupil progress. Introduction of colour theory and influences taken from art movements to produce visual responses will be encouraged. Pupils will have the opportunity gather primary research on an educational visit which will enable them to create a visual art piece using clay.
Nature – pupils will be introduced and initially led through the research aspect of this unit. Enabling pupils to build a successful sketch book with and emphasis on presentation. Pupils will be introduced to a variety of media to build secure independent skills.
Nature – Pupils will analyse other artist work and taking influence to develop a independent response.
Nature – Experiment and develop ideas to create a final piece.
Final exam- AQA set question- 10 weeks set time to complete sketch book work and 10 hour invigilated exam.

Previously PerlIO debugging output would be sent to the file specified by the "PERLIO_DEBUG" environment variable if perl wasn't running setuid and the -T or -t switches hadn't been parsed yet.
If perl performed output at a point where it hadn't yet parsed its switches this could result in perl creating or overwriting the file named by "PERLIO_DEBUG" even when the -T switch had been supplied.
Perl now requires the -Di switch to produce PerlIO debugging output. By default this is written to "stderr", but can optionally be redirected to a file by setting the "PERLIO_DEBUG" environment variable.
If perl is running setuid or the -T switch was supplied "PERLIO_DEBUG" is ignored and the debugging output is sent to "stderr" as for any other -D switch.
The tools and many modules supplied in core no longer search the default current directory entry in @INC for optional modules. For example, Storable will remove the final ``.'' from @INC before trying to load Log::Agent.
Other than the security changes above there are no changes intentionally incompatible with Perl 5.22.2. If any exist, they are bugs, and we request that you submit a report. See ``Reporting Bugs'' below.
The documentation of "PERLIO_DEBUG" has been updated.
The new -Di switch has been documented, and the documentation of "PERLIO_DEBUG" has been updated.
The "PadlistNAMES" macro is an lvalue again.

Women are built differently than men. On average, women have shorter torsos, shorter arms, and longer legs than a man of the same height. All of these differences can affect the way a bike fits, feels, and handles. A bike that’s designed from the ground up to fit a woman, rather than a man, will provide a comfortable fit and features that are optimized for the average woman with fewer modifications.

Architecture, and specifically the practice of architecture, is often studied by looking at historic precedents—how things were built, their context, and their meaning in culture. While having a good understanding of past influences is important to a successful architectural project, the ability to look forward—to understand future trends and influences, and to cultivate flexibility in anticipation of the new thing we can’t yet imagine—is equally essential.
In the twenty years since my first job in an architectural office, I have seen waves of technological disruption from 2D CAD to BIM and SMS to online video collaboration. Who could imagine that smelly blueprints would give way to futuristic mobile, paperless studios? While technology has changed the way we communicate with each other and our designs have become simultaneously more complex and accessible, I find it curious that many contemporary architectural firms are still rooted in a traditional professional services model structure—focusing on delivering design services only within the conceptual design to construction administration spectrum. How is it that architects can be so expressive and innovative in design, and frankly so limited in how they design the structure of their firms?
Architects who best understand and communicate their value proposition will lead the profession to develop innovative ways of thinking.
Architects must become savvy adapters to cultural and technological change to stay relevant.
Architects who become more involved in the front-end and backend of the process of creating a building (e.g. visioning, financing, development, life-cycle analysis, and data collection) will be less reactionary and more proactive in both crafting the problem and the solutions they solve.
Architects will need to understand global dynamics, even in regional markets. Technology has changed our transactional distance; therefore architects must adopt broader thinking beyond regional limits.
Every successful business hinges on the fundamental customer value proposition—an offering to solve a problem or fulfill a need for the customer—defined by both what service is provided and how it is provided. Architecture’s value proposition is unique in that it can be enhanced through finding new ways to innovate inside the profession by changing our in-house design process and expanding the range of services offered, but also in the larger demand for services through new delivery channels connecting architects to clients and creating new strategic collaborations and enterprise demand for services. Financial and creative success will come to architectural firms that take a critical look at how they do what they do, how they connect to the demand for their services, and how and when those services are accessed.
What other ways can I make money though a product or a service?
Can I provide allied services for different constituencies?
What other partnerships or collaborations could I develop?
How might it add value to what I do?
How could my organization change considering talent, management, and access to key resources?
How can I effectively leverage my unique capabilities to differentiate myself in the marketplace?
Architects who develop the ability to anticipate cultural and technological changes will successfully lead the profession and differentiate themselves from their colleagues who are slow to change. The profession has already seen consolidation of steps in the design and delivery process through the introduction of new technology and shifts in client expectations. Just as client-architect contract documents are be reviewed for each new venture, the process and delivery of services should also be assessed, updated and improved. Current trends in the profession creating disruptive innovation include the sophistication of design and management technologies; integration of design and fabrication processes; marketplace globalization; increased project complexity requiring greater levels of collaboration; scale shift in large firms doing small projects and small firms doing large projects; technology-enhanced virtual offices; flexibility in access of services; emphasis on workplace diversity; data-based design; acceleration of value delivery; and architects positioned to be experts in the sustainability and resilience conversation. While brainstorming future trends can be quick and exciting, adapting a business model can be an iterative process that will require tweaks along the way. Architects who provide vision-driven services that solve the problem of how to make the process of doing something more efficient or better fulfilling the anticipated needs of their clients will lead the marketplace in both creating a vision of the future and providing unique value for their services.
How can I expand the features of my design services?
How are my client’s requirements changing and what improvements can I offer?
How can I provide complementary or additional services?
What packages of services will clients need?
How can I enhance what I do with new functionality, interactions, resources, promises, or connections?
How can I continue to see change as an opportunity and not as a disruption?
Architects are in the business of solving problems, or as Art Gensler, FAIA states, “architects sell solutions to our client’s problems.” Unlike a business that just sells goods, architects sell their stories, ideas and the product of what they design, but their value proposition is also tied to the outcomes of the process of design. This distinction is important because it provides a unique opportunity for architects to expand their range of services addressing both pre-design conceptualization but also evidence-based outcomes of architecture. In my research, I have found that many of the emerging non-traditional business models share a focus on either the front-end (e.g. community organizing, development, visioning) or the back end of the design process (e.g. commissioning, management, life-cycle analysis, outcome-based feedback, data collection). These examples present unique opportunities for architects to expand and distinguish themselves as experts in the built environment and society. Other benefits to focusing on pre-design services include better engagement and utilization of design thinking towards solving problems outside of the scope of traditional architectural services; while benefits towards focusing on post-occupancy services include continued contact w ith the client, capitalizing on existing relationships and trust. Understanding that the influence of an architect extends beyond the buildings we conceive, architects must grasp the opportunity to influence patterns of thought, action, and collaboration in practice beyond their current involvement.
differentiate, expand, or improve upon my brand?
or different parts of the client’s organization?
Embracing the architecture firm of the future will require architects to ignore the status quo and use their ability to design their business just as creatively as they approach designs for the built environment. Keeping in mind that change is an opportunity, architects have both the skills and the vision to lead cultural and environmental change, one business at a time.

I bought this dress on ebay for about £10 and embellished it with left over gold dress fabric.
It was for our sixth year leavers party which was loads of fun and too much alcohol was drunk yet again by me. Hopefully going out again next saturday but I'm not sure I can face it. Spend the week 'studying' and trying to recover. Also suspect I caught the cold when I was out too. If anyone has an artys crafts blog or makes costumes too please let me know and I will check it out.

Some video games the masses can enjoy, and some video games cater to the hard-core fanatic of a specific genre. Flight sims are a good example, as are most golf games. What many don't realize, though, is that even a genre as innocuous as the simple platform shooter has a hard-core fan base - a league of players that can run faster, shoot longer, and generally destroy any side scroller in one sitting. These blister-thumbed few need something better, faster, harder. Games like Mega Man X4 are created for them.
First, you must be a fan of the motif to even understand this game. By motif, I'm talking about anime and all the Speed Racer-esque backgrounds, bizarre character names, and recycled sound effects that go along with it. In addition to the general aesthetics of the game, all the cinematic scenes are 100 percent anime, right down to the shamefully bad voice acting. The first scene introduces you, by means of a frantic music video, to all the game's major characters. From there you are thrust into the action of the game's first two-stage level, which serves as a teaser to the rest of the story.
Through much in-game exposition, we learn that General and Colonel (great names!), under instruction from the evil Sigma, have incited Repliforce, an army of reploids formerly allied with our heroes, the Maverick Hunters, to riot. Following Sigma's plans to destroy the human race that created them, they have demolished a Maverick Hunter base and promise to continue the destruction until their final weapon is complete, and the earth is vaporized, or something like that. It is, of course, up to Mega Man X and his faithful partner, Zero, to foil their plans and save the earth from destruction.
Inventive it is not, but this latest installment in the extensive Mega Man series does sport enhanced graphics, a new soundtrack, gigantic bosses, and one other notable enhancement - this is the first of the series that lets you play as X or Zero. Capcom is hyping this feature as providing "two separate adventures." While it does increase the game's replay value, it's decidedly not two separate adventures. The game follows one scenario with a few differences, such as sidekick and dialogue, depending on the character you choose - much like Sonic and Knuckles or Resident Evil.
The real difference between characters lies in how the game plays. Play as X, and the gameplay is very similar to the other Mega Man X games. You run around and shoot things, collecting armor from Dr. Light and new weapons from your fallen adversaries. If you play as Zero, the story doesn't change much, but you must alter tactics used to fight attackers and overcome obstacles. Zero is armed with a Z-Saber instead of X's Arm Cannon, making it necessary to fight up close. No armor is provided for Zero, and instead of looting his enemies for new weapons, Zero learns a new fighting tactic when he slays an opponent. This introduces an element of head-to-head-fighter gameplay into the mix and makes it necessary for you to learn button combos to pull off each move. Needless to say, playing as Zero increases the difficulty level a bit.
No matter which character is used, though, this is one tough game to beat. Challenging gameplay, as in all previous Mega Man titles, is the key here. Each level, with few exceptions, is designed to include little secrets and interesting terrain. Each new weapon or fighting move learned requires practice to master. The various baddies are quite illusive and hard to eliminate. The real challenge waits at the end of the level - another Mega Man trademark. Providing formidable bosses has always been Capcom's strong point. Here, the true side scroller fans are separated from the rest. It is a real test of will to sit in front of a TV and blast away at the same massive robotic bad guy for hours straight. Some find it tedious to the point of delirium; others love the challenge. I found it tedious. I tend to enjoy a few more puzzles in the levels themselves and a tad less adversity at the end of them. Fortunately, MM X4 is executed just well enough to make the monotony bearable.
The control layout is intuitive, and the reaction time, while not quite as good as the PlayStation version, is unsurpassed on the Saturn. The soundtrack, while incredibly typical, is filled with the Japanese video-game synth-pop hooks we all hate to love, and the cutscene dialogue, though pitiful, is a definite improvement over Mega Man 8. The graphics, unlike previous Mega Man titles, take full advantage of the Saturn's color palette, lending the game a decidedly 32-bit look. The transparency effects from the PlayStation version, however, are impossible to duplicate on a Saturn, and the result is passable but not pretty. The multiple-parallax backgrounds are rendered quite well, but, as in lots of Saturn titles, some slowdown occurs in the frame rate when the scrolling is at its fastest. If you've got both systems, definitely go for the PlayStation version.
All in all, a few more 3D effects would have been nice, but the decision to stick with a true 2D environment is bold, if somewhat outmoded. Aesthetically, Mega Man X4 is a sizeable improvement over its predecessors, but you must remember that it's only a side scroller. Seventy or 80 similar games are out there that are just as good. If you're looking for something new, look elsewhere. If you're one of those crazed platformer fans, though, Mega Man X4 is what you crave.

With inspiration from Jamie Buzzards e50 top tank Super Sport I though I could make a poor mans pinto. I had a maxi frame that the tank was rusted through. I cut the mount off and fabed it to the frame. It all paired up quite nicely.

Home | Search Results for "Terrafugia"
Terrafugia Acquired Chinese company Zhejiang Geely, which owns the Volvo and Lotus car brands, has reportedly acquired flying car company Terrafugia. One of the only companies in the world to be developing an actual flying car (i.e. a roadable aircraft), Terrafugia is studying the TF-X hybrid-electric VTOL tiltrotor flying car.
On Nov. 14, 2018, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) announced that it had conducted two days of meetings with European regulators on the development of eVTOL aircraft and technologies. According to the press release, “Thirty senior eVTOL company figures from eight countries met with EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency), the European Commission and SESAR JU (Single European Sky ATM Research Joint Undertaking) over two days in Cologne and Brussels to discuss this burgeoning sector of the aviation industry.” “Global manufacturers have been working within GAMA over the last 12 months to prepare the ecosystem for eVTOL. We are really pleased that EASA is developing a path forward for this new era of aviation,” said Anna Dietrich, GAMA eVTOL Subcommittee Co-Chair and Terrafugia Co-Founder and Lead for Regulatory Affairs. “Leveraging the body of existing rules and standards wherever possible while appropriately addressing the new aspects of this industry will help us efficiently achieve our shared goals for safe, innovative vehicles that provide significant value to society”.

After I dropped the children off, I took Beehive straight round to the clinic. We had a very good Dutch doctor there who spoke excellent English. I explained what I thought the problem was and he took Beehive off to examine him. He agreed that my stable lad suffered from epilepsy and prescribed a medication I had given to children in the school I had taught in in England. We next visited the chemist and the cost of the tablets to last Beehive a month, was a fraction of the money that he had been paying to the sangoma or witch doctor. He was so thrilled and I felt that I had done my good deed for the day.
However, I had not taken into consideration the reaction from the sangoma, when he heard, as of course he would, and he was not pleased. I had deprived him of one of his best paying patients. A few days later, one of my first horses, called Kojak, had his mane and his tail cut off. The head stable lad, Hardstone, who I never trusted, told me that this had been done for muti [medicine]. He seemed to think the situation very funny. I did not.
I was sad about Kojak, as when Jeremy had first bought him in Gabarone, he had very little mane and tail, cropped to help avoid the ticks and so on when he had been used to herd cattle from the north west of Botswana to the corned beef factory in Lobatse. During the time Kojak had lived with us, his mane and tail had grown back and he was looking so much better, now his incredibly bad haircut made him look disheveled again.
As if that was not bad enough, a few days later, I noticed that Kojak had no energy, he was sluggish and seemed to have trouble walking. He was definitely ill, and I did not know what to do about it. Both Francistown vets were away at the animal border fences and were not due back for several days. I began to wonder if Kojak would survive.

Authorities Wednesday identified a 33-year-old man who was fatally injured when a wooden shed collapsed on him in an East County neighborhood last week.
Jonathan Paul Sandoval of Lakeside died Sunday night at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, four days after he was buried under the debris, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Sandoval was dismantling outbuildings for removal behind a home in the 9100 block of Johnson Drive in La Mesa when the accident occurred shortly after 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 10, said Sonny Saghera, spokesman for Heartland Fire & Rescue.
Emergency personnel pulled Sandoval out of the collapsed structure, which took about five minutes, and then began performing CPR, Saghera said.
Paramedics continued the lifesaving efforts while transporting Sandoval to Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, restoring his pulse by the time they arrived at the facility, Saghera said.
While hospitalized, Sandoval’s condition declined and he was pronounced dead at 6:40 p.m. Sunday, according to the Medical Examiner’s Office.
Sandoval, who went by his middle name, was married and the father of three boys, ages 5, 3 and a baby of 4 months, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
A GoFundMe.com donation page set up to help his family had raised over $24,000 as of Wednesday morning.

Avachinsky (2751m), one of Kamchatka's most active volcanoes, rises above Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka's largest city. Avachinsky consists of the Late Pleistocene edifice, destroyed by a large horseshoe-shaped crater, breached to the southwest, which encloses the Young Cone stratovolcano. The crater is believed to have formed about 30,000 years ago as a result of a huge debris avalanche, the deposits of which underlie the present city. Avachinsky has been classified as a Somma volcano based on its similarities with Vesuvius.
Avachinsky produced explosive eruptions with ash-falls and pyroclastic flows. The eruptive center at this time probably was presented by coalescent extrusive domes (similar to modern Young Shiveluch), nested in the Late Pleistocene debris avalanche crater. Ashes of these eruptions can be traced at a distance of more than 200-400 km.
One of the initial explosive eruptions produced more than 4 km3 of basaltic andesite tephra which was dispersed at a distance of more than 300 km to the north and formed one of the main marker ash layers for this area. The Young Cone produced multiple explosive and effusive eruptions, the most recent in 1991 and 2001.
Avachinsky has erupted at least 17 times in recorded history. Eruptions have generally been explosive, and pyroclastic flows and lahars have tended to be directed to the south west by the breached caldera. The most recent large eruption occurred in 1945, when about 0.25 km of magma was ejected. The volcano has since had small eruptions in 1991 and 2001.
The volcano continues to experience frequent earthquakes, and many fumaroles exist near the summit. The temperature of gases emitted at these fumaroles has been measured at over 400°C. In light of its proximity to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Avachinsky was designated a Decade Volcano in 1996 as part of the United Nations' International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction, together with the nearby Koryaksky volcano.

California kills it here — it’s a huge state with over 36 million of population, and over 2,500 stores. Adjusted for population, Washington DC takes first place, with only 9,000 residents per each Starbucks store. This makes me think that people are spending a lot of money on Starbucks there, especially from commuters.
I like this kind of map — I had written earlier about mapless geography and still think it’s a good idea for quickly isolating out interesting information.
Ben Fry, one of the creators of the processing language, also really likes these kinds of things (maybe because it’s hard to load map data into processing?). His project All Streets is like this — where he plots just the streets in the United States and observes population and geographical properties just based on the density of streets.

The Toledo Cherokee, one of the original members of the NA3HL, will be hitting the ice for their 25th season of junior hockey in just a few weeks. Toledo has never won less than 20 games throughout their history but lately they’ve hit a roadblock in the division semi finals.
For the last three seasons, the Cherokee have seen their season come to an end during the first round of the playoffs.
“I thought our guys had a good year last year, we didn’t go as far in the playoffs as we wanted to but our guys battled every night and played hard. At this level as a coach you have to have patience working with the younger guys,” said Head Coach Kenny Miller.
Miller is hopeful that his returning players will be crucial to a successful 2017-18.
“We have a good group of veteran players coming back that we will need to lean on until our younger guys get used to the speed at this level,” said Miller.
“Team captain Tristin Snyder returns for another season, he is a true leader that does so many things for our team. Forwards like EJ Gilbert, Adam Felser, Anthony Weinrich, Nick Nappi and Darryl Kuchcinski should have really good years for us. Blake Mullins will return and help lead a young D-core on the back end,” added Miller.
Snyder returns after finishing second on the Cherokee in points with 40. His 15 goals were tied for third on the team. EJ Gilbert’s 23 goals last year led Toledo and his 39 points ranked him third on the club.
Anthony Weinrich scored 10 goals and added 13 assists to finish the season with 23 points. Adam Felser played just 18 games in 2016-17 but contributed 10 points in his short time.
“I like our group as we get started with training camp, we are young but I think as time goes on our guys will get better and I’m hoping we can win our fair share of games and help move some guys onto the next level,” said Miller.
The Cherokee had great success moving kids on as Ben Hamilton (Adrian College), Roman Malkov (Aquinas College), Josh Smith (Lawrence Tech), and Teddy Tarvis (Adrian College) all made college commitments last season.
“We spend a lot of time on the phone contacting D3 and ACHA coaches, trying to get the word out on our guys,” Miller said.
The Cherokee will be looking to finally break through that first round wall this season and that quest begins on Saturday, September 9th when they visit the Cincinnati Thunder.

text: This thesis examines English- Canadian newspaper depictions of a police raid of the Haudenosaunee Reclamation Movement that was successfully thwarted by the latter. The movement is comprised of members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy of the Grand River seeking to reclaim Kanonhstaton, a tract of land among many in southern Ontario that has been unlawfully dispossessed from the Confederacy. Although the movement is a political one, English- Canadian newspapers depicted it as criminal in nature thereby justifying the failed raid. It can be shown that said newspapers constructed a criminalized portrait of the movement through the use of repetition of similar words with negative connotations so as to create emphasis, or a preferred reading of the movement as criminals, while strategically silencing the important context of the movement‘ s motivation for action. Arguing that these preferred readings and strategic silences are ideological attempts to justify acts of coercive violence by the Canadian state, this work suggests that left unchecked and unchallenged they will only serve to strengthen the system of colonialism in Canada.
