It happened once before, in 1988, a year after I married Claudia. I had a great Nikon with a portrait lens on it that I left momentarily unguarded and when I ran back to get it, it was gone. This happened again just last Monday. Only this time it was my Pentax, the camera I’ve used for most of the photos on this site. I walked in to use a restroom at Cocollala Lake, Westmond. When I came back, it was gone from my car.
iPhone 6 technology surpasses my old studio camera by a long shot.
What else can you do? Sure, I could call it in. Sure I could be upset and let it ruin my week. It was an $800 used camera when I bought it. It was the only real camera I had. I could have been really upset; could have visited every pawn shop from here to Toledo, Ohio and then some. Could have run an ad. Could have gone on TV, maybe CNN. But no. It was gone. Someone saw some value in it.
It was one of those rare times when I didn’t lock my car. How could this happen?
I pondered many things to do; started looking at newer models, budgeting in my mind. Then my phone rang, my old S4 iPhone. I answered it without much enthusiasm and then when I pressed the button to disengage, a thought sprang into my mind.
Weighing the differences in cost, I reasoned, “Well, maybe that’s the route to take,” I thought. “I’ve got to have a way to take photos (and videos) and record!” My reasoning was sound. The thief took my new Samsung Pocket Recorder too, which I had stored in the camera bag, lifted from my car in a blind moment.
I went to BestBuy in Coeur d’Alene, talked to my young friend Clint Golub. Yup. That was what I was going to do. It was only 4 days wait to the newly arrived phones and there were two black-bodied iPhones unspoken for, coming in.
I made the appointment for Friday mid-day. The phones came in. Clint waited on me. I walked out with a new technology in my hands.
Yeah, I don’t have a portrait lens currently; not now with this new iPhone 6. But I have the ability to take panoramas and the technology far surpasses my aging, albeit heavy studio camera. The evidence is in the pictures, the first I took.
Pleased? I’m ecstatic! I’d like to thank the man (I think I saw who it was too; just didn’t know at the time) who took it.
Yes, I could have been emotionally devastated. I can’t say that I had enough banked money to buy a new Pentax, not even through Cosco. But under the Verizon phone contract, I could afford the upgrade.
It’ll certainly change the composition and exposures of my site photography, for awhile. I will in fact buy another SLR with a good portrait lens, a wide angle and zoom capacity when the time comes. But for now. I’ll content myself with learning every aspect of this fine technology.
Suffice to say, my old, aging Pentax could not record these differences in light density. Neither could it act as a video, or accomplish true panoramic photos, nor could it record voice over, and take slow-motion video. Nor could it take square photos by choice as if I had a Hasselblad, the kind that went to the moon.

Yesterday, the Korean People’s Navy (KPN) successfully fired three supposedly indigenously-developed anti-ship cruise missiles into the East Sea out to a range of approximately 200 km. While the DPRK may claim the missiles are a home-made design, analysts say they are in actuality Russian export-variety Kh-35E Uran ASCMs (NATO codename SS-N-25 Switchblade). The Kh-35 series is a close equivalent to the US AGM-84 Harpoon missile, being slightly smaller and with a lighter warhead (360 lbs) than the Harpoon (488 lbs).
It is possible that the newly-cultivated relationship between Putin’s Russia and the DPRK is bearing fruit for both entities. This weapon system, if successfully integrated into the DPRK arsenal, represents a significant and problematic upgrade to North Korea’s offensive and defensive capabilities. The SS-N-25 Switchblade has a seeker head very comparable to the deadly 3M-54 Klub (NATO codename SS-N-27 Sizzler), with both a radar homing and anti-radiation ability which can acquire out to 50km.
The fielding of significant numbers of SS-N-25s represents a multi-generational upgrade for the DPRK, the majority of whose ASCM inventories consist of obsolete SS-N-2 Styx and smaller (and shorter-ranged) C 801 and C 802 systems. It is likely that the new capabilities will be employed in shore-based systems, greatly expanding both range and lethality of DPRK coastal defenses. In addition, the plentiful but obsolescent smaller ships and craft of the Korean People’s Navy (corvettes, PTG/PG and Fast Attack Craft) configured to carry the SS-N-25 suddenly multiply exponentially their combat potential in a surface fight. Ditto the obsolete IL-28s and other older aircraft of the Air Force, should they be configured to carry the Switchblade.
Should it come to pass that the SS-N-25 eventually comprises a major part of the DPRK ASCM inventory (courtesy of the Russians), a hard problem just got harder. Just in time to shrink our Navy below 250 ships.

I’m going back to the basics; comfort food at its best. Get ready because I am going to share with you my Mom’s banana bread recipe!
I’m trying to ease into the new year just a bit, different from my normal being shot out of a cannon approach I usually take. I have finally learned that I can’t accomplish a whole year’s worth of resolutions in a few short weeks! Trust me, I have tried before. I must admit I did not declare any official resolutions at the stroke of midnight, but I always have a few goals that I am working towards. However, I have done some intense cleaning and purging in an attempt to live more simply with less this year. I am the ultimate recycler of items and have some slight pack-rat tendencies, so an annual cleaning out of the closets is a great way to welcome the new year.
Sous Chef flies out early next week headed back to school. She has been home for quite a while since her return from Europe, and I, once again, have grown accustomed to having her around. Not that I don’t love being surrounded by boys every waking moment but..well, there just seems to be a little more civility in the house when there are two girls to balance out the three guys.
With all this cleaning and packing and, yes, cold weather, I have found the need for some comfort food. As fate would have it, we left some bananas in a bowl on the counter when we left for our annual New Year’s trip to the beach. Upon our return, I knew that there was only one thing to do. Make banana bread.
This banana bread is loved by all in our household. For years when I worked outside the home, my parents would pick up my boys from school and watch them until I got home from work. It was such a relief to know that my boys where with family during those hours between school and dinner. Every once in a while I would come home to a freshly baked loaf of banana bread made from my pile of uneaten, over-ripe bananas. It was such a treat. I must admit that sometimes I left bananas sitting on the counter with hopes that my Mom would make us some of her banana bread. She always got my hint and would whip up this delicious treat for our family.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 loaf pans and set aside. Mash bananas in a small bowl and set aside. Cream sugar and butter in a stand mixer. Add eggs, one at a time until fully incorporated. Add bananas and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients together and then add to mixture alternating between flour mixture and buttermilk until all ingredients are blended together. Pour half of batter into each loaf pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes until a taste tester comes out clean. Wrap in aluminum foil to maintain freshness.
Kitchenarian Notes: I decreased the sugar from 2 ½ cups down to 2 cups and added one extra banana to reduce the sweetness in this bread. It’s delicious both ways!
I love visiting the classics! Especially when the classics means bread that stuffed with bananas! Wishing I had a HUGE fresh slice right now!
What a great mom! If only mine lived closer and took such hints!
Ooh I love the buttermilk in this! Wow! You know me and bananas! 🙂 Yum!
I love the hint of leaving the bananas out. There is nothing better than a mom made treat.
Awesome! I have a bunch of bananas that I have a feeling are going to become a loaf of bread or batch of muffins. I was going to scour through recipes but yours (your moms) looks and sounds delicious! Yum!!
Everyone needs a good banana bread recipe, this looks super moist and delicious!
Banana bread is always welcome in my house, it smells so good! I’m totally jealous of your NYE trip to the beach, I need a warm location vacation right about now!
Gorgeous photos! This bread looks so moist and delicious, yummy!
This sounds so good right now. The weather is about to turn cold, you know, because someone just informed Mother Nature it’s winter, not spring and this will be awesome!
I happen to be browsing twitter and caught your post here, I love a good banana bread. In fact your recipe looks very similar to one I love too. Have a wonderful week.
Love a good banana bread recipe!
This looks delicious and SO nice of your mother to make it when you left bananas out! I think the idea of living more simply this year is perfect! I’ve been trying for years – one day I’ll get there….
Classics are always the best, especially when its from mom recipe box! This banana bread looks lovely and so delicious!
Congrats on Top 9! This sounds like a great recipe. Family recipes are always the best. I will have to try this one out.
This looks fantastic! Love the pictures and really well put together. I just made a Banana and Pecan loaf with a cream cheese frosting this morning for a birthday cake! I will have to find an excuse to make your recipe now! Well done.
The recipe doesn’t call for salt, so I usually use salted butter when I make it. You could add salt if you like.
Thank you for a lovely easy recipe! I tried it, but, next time I’ll be adding that half cup of sugar and removing that 1 banana. Then 3rd time round I’ll probably give it a twist like add maybe some pistachios or pumpkin seeds or a spice like a pinch of nutmeg or maybe even aniseed, depends on how daring or risk taking I might be!
Once again I loved the recipe, so unpretentious, just like how baking and cooking should be.
This is the most delicious Banana Bread. I have made this several times and every time I get so many compliments. Thanks to you and your Mother.
I tried this because it was really close to my moms recipe, just with a different measure of things. The first time I tried it, it didn’t turn out well, my loaf pan was too large. I went out and bought two medium sized loaf pans and made it again, and it was definitely a WOW for me – it was so good. One of the keys (aside from the correct pan size) is definitely not to substitute the buttermilk. I find that using real buttermilk makes all the difference! Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

Musical Arc is a collective of musicians with and without disabilities who perform and deliver workshops to a wide range of audiences. Over the years the group has developed unique and innovative ways of raising awareness and breaking down barriers through the amazing medium of music.
Musical Arc first formed in 1988 and was held as an evening group at Armley Resource Centre, hence the name, Arc. This was led by various people over the years and taken up by a Leeds musician Gill Pearson. The group would meet for 2 hours once a week. Lorraine Cowburn was asked to join the group to lead some samba workshops in 1994.
Gill and Lorraine continued to run the group which moved premises in 1998 and eventually became a daytime group running at the West Park Centre. In 2000 Martin Harwood joined as a second community musician and Gill Pearson left the organization in 2008.
Musical Arc became a registered charity in 2006. Having a committed board of trustees and developing good relations with funding bodies and Leeds City Council has established the group as a landmark organization in Leeds. Musical Arc continues to thrive and grow and attracts many members and volunteers as well as trustees.
The members themselves are broad ranging in age, culture and background. As a group the aim is to welcome all abilities and to cater for impairments with instruments that suit each individual. Training is provided for members to develop musically as well as to develop workshop skills. All participants are welcome to share skills and to contribute in whatever way they can. We have gifted singer, story tellers, percussionists and horn players. There is a strong feeling of family and support amongst members and this aspect is valued and nurtured with in the group.
Musical Arc is very lucky to have a whole range of wonderful volunteers who really help to make musical arc what it is today. They bring with them enthusiasm, skills and a great warmth and friendship to the group.

Maybe you need to leave the office at 5 p.m. on the dot every Thursday to pick up your daughter from daycare. Or, perhaps you’re a night owl who struggles with early Monday morning meetings. Whatever the case may be, restricting your Google calendar to specific work hours has never been easy — there’s always that one coworker who sees an opening at 8 a.m. and takes it.
Fortunately, Google is adding a new set of controls to Calendar that will make it easier to set limits on your availability. In the coming weeks, a new feature will roll out that lets you customize your working hours on a day-to-day basis. Anyone who tries to send a meeting invite that falls outside of your hours will receive a note letting them know you might decline.
Although you can currently set one default working hour timeframe for Monday through Friday, the new tool enables more daily specificity. So, if you need to leave early every Monday but can stay a little later on Tuesdays you can change your hours to reflect that distinction.
Another new feature, “out of office”, serves a similar purpose. Instead of blocking off your calendar with a fake event to preserve one blessed, meeting-free hour, you can set an “out of office” entry. Anyone who tries to invite you to an event during that time will receive an automatic decline and you can personalize the message that goes with it.
Both updates come as part of the “digital well-being ” movement that’s sweeping Silicon Valley. The hypocrisy of this is not lost on anyone — tech introduced many of the distractions it’s now seeking to course-correct — but the benefits of scheduling an “out of office” timeframe and working hours may have far-reaching effects.
Constant connectivity produced a culture where employees are always “on”, whether you’re active on Slack or not. The visual reinforcement of working hours and “out of office” could help signify that the end of workday really is the end of your workday. Of course, the reality is there may be times you need to deviate — a long-term project can call for a late night here or there to meet a deadline — but the intention is there, and that’s what matters. Now, it’s up to you to say something can wait until the morning.

Parking: We're a short walk from Leamington town centre, but there’s plenty of free parking on Union Road and surrounding streets.
Rent the studio and treatment room: We encourage professional, qualified therapists to use The Well Centre. If you’d like to know more, contact Angie Gregory.
Why's it called The Well Centre? The Well Centre was formerly part of one of North Leamington’s most prominent houses. Angie began converting the space in Spring 2008. As the builders removed over 50 skip loads of mud and rubble, they found an 1830s bottle of port (sadly empty) and two deep wells. It’s thought that the wells were the original sources of domestic water for the house.

What is Middle Fossa Acoustic Tumor Surgery?
During middle fossa acoustic tumor surgery, a bone flap is removed from above the ear in order to provide access to an acoustic tumor. The brain is also lifted from the base of the skull to provide entry to the internal auditory canal.
Middle fossa acoustic tumor surgery may be performed in cases of an acoustic tumor or neuroma.
There are no comparable non-surgical alternatives to middle fossa acoustic tumor surgery. Suboccipital acoustic tumor surgery is a surgical alternative to the procedure.
Middle fossa acoustic tumor surgery is performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and completely unaware during the procedure.
Possible risks following middle fossa acoustic tumor surgery include infection, nerve damage, brain damage, hearing loss, intracranial bleeding and a negative reaction to the anesthesia.
The prognosis for a positive end result following middle fossa acoustic tumor surgery is good. There is about a 20 percent change of hearing loss.
Total recovery from middle fossa acoustic tumor surgery takes one to four weeks, or longer.

Create point-of-purchase materials aligned with the brand’s in-store activation strategy to inform consumers of Maytag’s line of new appliances.
BTI designed branded point-of-purchase materials to place on appliances to improve the consumer shopping experience. Big and bold typography was used consistently to reinforce Maytag’s strong, practical, and dependable identity. Badges such as “Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel” and “10 Year Limited Parts Warranty” were used to distinguish themselves from competitors and large decals were used to emphasize specific product features and benefits.
Eye-catching POP engaged consumers to interact with the appliances pre-purchase and assisted the retail sales associates in completing the transaction. As a result, sales have exceeded expectations for the new launch.

When it comes to digital marketing, visual content like images, memes, and gifs in content marketing are an effective tool for connecting with audiences everywhere. What started as a fun way to share silly moments or commiserate with friends and family is now a modern marketing tool with the power to launch your brand into viral Internet superstardom.
Although platforms like Facebook and Twitter have helped launch animated image files called gifs into the mainstream, they’ve been around for 30 years. Steve Wilhite of CompuServe originally created the gif in 1987 from parts of videos or multiple static images.
They are easy to consume and fun to look at.
People love images. Gifs are fun and easy to consume, and they often invite people into an Internet-wide inside joke.
They take little time to enjoy.
Most gifs only last a second before they loop back to the beginning. Thus, gifs in content marketing are perfect for our culture of short-attention spans.
They offer call-to-action functions like flash sale or specials updates.
Gifs add a light-hearted bit of fun to different types of content. Try using some during your next marketing campaign to update your audience.
While we can often misinterpret text, an animated gif can help avoid misunderstandings about tone, messaging, or meaning or your ad campaign.
When it comes to advertising to modern audiences, gifs allow brands to combat the seriously short attention spans of audiences, especially on Twitter. Because audiences are conditioned to expect instantaneous gratification, gifs are perfect for capturing your audience’s attention in an engaging and easily consumable way.
The flexibility of gifs also gives companies the power and flexibility to offer a response to current events or real-time events. Create a quick-witted and quirky animation about an upcoming holiday or event. Or, publish a call to action to raise awareness about a natural disaster.
Animated gifs can help save the day when 140 characters just aren’t enough. To that end, using a gif to highlight a new product or service is an engaging and effective way to call your audience to action.
Making gifs that showcase new products through demonstrations is also an enticing way to highlight new features of your business while helping your brand to stay away from overt advertisements. Instead of feeling like you’re “selling something” to your audience, gifs give your brand the opportunity to connect with your audience through shared thoughts and emotions.
Use high-quality images and animation. Sloppy transitions or pixelated frames can do more harm than good in your audience’s eyes.
Be subtle, but effective. Trying too hard is the kiss of death when it comes to any advertising endeavor, but this is particularly the case with gifs. You have ten seconds at most, so keep transitions and your call to action clear and short.
Limit your use of text in the gif. Whether it’s on Facebook or Twitter, there will be room for copy in the body of the post. If you decide to incorporate words into the animation as well, limit the text to a branded message or a clear call to action.
When it comes to connecting with your audience through digital marketing on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms, all entrepreneurs should spend at least a few hours deciding how to use gifs to promote and describe your brand. You may also want to consider seeking out a third party before starting your gif campaign to ensure your messaging is on brand and right for your audience.

When I first visited Culloden in 1978 there was no museum,,just grave stones and the cairn,in 1984 there was the centre which was sympathetic to the Scots cause and their plight.
The last time I visited a few years back Anglo propaganda had turned it into the unification of two countries.
The symbolism of a hated and feared redcoat sentry on display was not lost on me!
Scotland was sold out in 1707 and 1746 was the nail in the coffin of Scottish independence.
A sombre place with its haunting past!
Hi Karen a friend of mine just came back from Scotland and he said he felt haunted by the place , those were his words and 'Sad ' and it was an experience he won't forget soon and it made him feel very proud of his Scottish heritage , I feel the same way too . RIP to all who died that day for our beautiful Scotland . please post more soon. Happy Weekend. Loving Outlander & Scotland. sincerely .

cloudBuy (AIM: cbuy.L), the cloud eCommerce marketplace, today provides an update on trading in the six months ended 30 June 2014.
Trading in the first six months has been in line to achieve market expectations for the full year, with spend analysis and eProcurement invoicing growing by 50%. A large part of the invoicing was at the end of the period and this invoiced revenue will be recognised in future periods, so that recognised revenue for this period will be similar to the first half of the prior year.
cloudBuy has made demonstrable progress in each of its three key target opportunities; these being global expansion, social care and health. The investment in global expansion has resulted, as anticipated, in an increased loss for the period, but this is offset by a strong pipeline of contract wins that the Board expects to deliver in the second half of the year.
cloudBuy has analysed over $10bn US Dollars of spend in Asia Pacific in the first 6 months and this has provided good visibility of the future pipeline across the large participating organisations. A number of these are government organisations which have been through a process of validation and testing over the past six months, prior to releasing data and creating business cases for the implementation of the cloudBuy marketplace.
The Company's roll out plan was initially focused on Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. cloudBuy is on track with projects underway in Australia and Hong Kong, and late stage prospects in New Zealand. The team in India has expanded its focus from back office support to sales and the Company has a good pipeline of opportunities with large Indian companies and global corporates, building out from the first smaller customer. cloudBuy continues to work closely with Visa Asia Pacific and its member banks to develop this market.
In both India and Hong Kong the Company has opportunities which require the marketplace to also support local taxation, language and cross border trading in a single global solution. This is particularly important for global corporations and is not catered for in any existing solution apart from the cloudBuy solution. The Company has been working to enhance the platform to support these activities and currently the marketplace and supplier solutions are being translated into Hindi, and traditional and simplified Chinese to meet customer requirements.
cloudBuy has had requests from corporate and government bodies in the Middle East and Africa for spend analysis and marketplace solutions. Following two successful visits to the region it is clear that there are good opportunities in the Middle East with the potential for a live project in the second half. Oracle has a major footprint across public and private sector organisations in the Middle East and in response to the projects identified the Company has become an Oracle Gold Partner, in order to better service these opportunities. cloudBuy also has unsolicited live opportunities in North America, which remains a focus for the future.
During the period the Company secured a number of contract wins in Social Care with 'thought leading' councils and has now established itself as a market leader in this rapidly growing segment, where over 80% of the available market has yet to choose a solution. In tandem, the NHS is implementing personal health budgets and cloudBuy has built on its existing relationship with NHS Shared Business Services to offer the 211 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) a solution, with a potential market value of 5 million people at £60 each per annum. cloudBuy are the only eMarketplace provider that is accredited by the NHS to hold patient data, and already integrated into NHS SBS giving the company a competitive advantage.
Health Minister Dr Daniel Poulter MP recently commended cloudBuy's work with NHS Shared Business Services at the Local Government Association Conference and the Company subsequently received strong interest from delegates at the conference into the joint national solution for local authorities with Northamptonshire County Council and The Grass Roots Group PLC. The projected revenues from this partnership are up to £1 million per annum to cloudBuy per local authority.. With over 90 authorities yet to choose a solution this represents a major opportunity for the Company.
The NHS has now created its new procurement strategy and Health Minister Dr Daniel Poulter MP pointed out to delegates at the Local Government Association Conference that cloudBuy is expert in this area, has an existing contract with NHS Shared Business Service that can be used immediately and can actively help the NHS achieve its efficiency targets. cloudBuy and NHS Shared Business Service have already identified over £2 billion in annual savings for the NHS. NHS progress towards action has continued with the recent price benchmarking website launched by Dr Daniel Poulter MP on 22 July, which increases the opportunity to select cloudBuy's ready-made solution.
Ronald Duncan, Executive Chairman, commented: "We are pleased with the progress made in the first half of the year. The new team has bedded in and is driving increasing numbers of new prospects. The scale of each of our current opportunities gives me the confidence that we have three ways to achieve our 2-4 year objective of £50m revenue at 90% margin, and organisationally we are focused on the actions we need to undertake to ensure that we deliver on this objective. We have made the transition to a transactional charging model with our new prospects, which longer term will drive larger and more sustainable revenues than our traditional licence model. The economies of Asia Pacific and the Middle East are very strong and there is a clear appetite for our solutions, coupled with a limited installed base of existing solutions. It is always difficult to establish the first live project in a new business area or geography but we have achieved this with live clients in Asia Pacific to give confidence to our prospects, we anticipate faster closure across the pipeline."
The Company expects to announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2014 on 21 August 2014.

Home Health 60 seconds Test To Check Your Internal Organs!
60 seconds Test To Check Your Internal Organs!
Do you know that in just 60 seconds you can check the status of health for your internal organs?
All you need is a scoop and plastic bags.
This way of checking your internal organs was published in the “Daily Mail”.
The first thing that you need to do is to take off a bit of deposit from the surface of the tongue with a single spoon.
When you perform this operation try to remove layers that are closer to the throat.
Then, wrap the spoon in a plastic bag and allow stand aside for 60 seconds under strong light.
The strong light from light bulb helps the growth of bacteria.
Therefore, if your light bulb is stronger, the result of the testing your internal organs will be more visible.
In a healthy person, deposits will be clean.
However, if there are too many, they will have strange colors and odor.
If you get this result, it is advisable to see a doctor and examine what exactly is the cause for that condition.
Also, this test can help detect if you have a bad breath.
A lot of times, people are not aware of their bad breath.
If it is a fruity fragrance, this may indicate a high concentration of ketone – ketoacidosis or some metabolic disorder.
This metabolic disorder can also sometimes cause even diabetes.
When you experience some unpleasant odor that reminiscent on ammonia, maybe you have problems with your kidneys.
However, do not immediately panic.
The unpleasant breath is not always a sign of some diseases of your internal organs.
In fact, usually, it comes to problems with tonsils or gums, decay, and bad teeth.

Last week, I ran into a few friends I hadn’t seen for awhile. One was all atwitter about a home she was in the process of buying, which caused another to wax reminiscent of her own homebuying odyssey a couple of years back. The latter blurted out, "I love my house, but I have to be honest: I wish I’d never bought it. Too much of a commitment."
Mind you, this came from a woman with a husband, two kids and a highly visible executive role at a large company. When I pointed out what seemed to me to be her inconsistent logic regarding her approaches to long-term commitments, she elaborated: "Because of the house, I can’t just pack up and move when I want to anymore. I can’t just strap my kids on and take them with me wherever I go."

Girl Scouts'developmental psychologist Dr. Andrea Bastiani Archibald says “...The lessons girls learn when they’re young about setting physical boundaries and expecting them to be respected last a lifetime, and can influence how she feels about herself and her body as she gets older." It's something to think about over the holidays.

The article "Family Reunions Don't Always Turn Out as one has Pictured" may provide you with tips for hosting a successful Couney reunion.

Back in January, the minimalist composer Steve Reich confirmed that he would premiere a new piece inspired by Radiohead in London on March 5, 2013. The work, "Radio Rewrite", reimagines "Everything In its Right Place" from Kid A as well as "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" from In Rainbows. As mentioned. It's the result of a meeting between Reich and Jonny Greenwood last year in Poland, where Reich saw Greenwood perform his own composition "Electric Counterpoint".
The Quietus has now interviewed Reich regarding the piece. "Radio Rewrite", which will be performed by the London Sinfonietta, will be 18-20 minutes in length and is nearly finished. Reich said it's "not at all a rock piece" and is scored for flute, clarinet, two vibraphones, two pianos, string quartet, and one electric bass (which is performed only in the first and last movements). "If you didn't know the original material, rock and roll wouldn't cross your mind," Reich said. But he noted that "sometimes something comes to the surface which reminds you very clearly... of what [Radiohead does]."
What if I took these songs, "Everything in its Right Place" and "Jigsaw Falling into Place", and used some of the harmonies, some of the bass lines, some of the melodic material, but going my own way with it, using that material as a starting point, a stimulus. Sure enough, it worked. You know, you go where the energy is.
It's absolutely brilliant songwriting. I saw a black and white video of them rehearsing "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" and what struck me was not only that it was a beautiful song, but that the band are so committed. There's no showbiz, just musicians communicating very directly. There's no fudging that. In both those songs, the chord sequences are very interesting. These are beautiful tunes and I can't improve on them, so I've written my own piece.

While each patient varies, many patients can now have their orthodontic treatment completed in less than a year.
PROPEL comes as a sterile, ready-to-use disposable device. The device has an Adjustable Depth Dial and indicating arrow on the driver body. The Adjustable Depth Dial can be positioned to 0mm, 3mm, 5mm, and 7mm of tip depth.
How do teeth move in orthodontic treatment?
Forces on teeth produce pressure and tension on points either side of roots, causing remodeling of the bone and therefore, tooth movement. Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts are recruited to remove and add bone on the pressure and tension side of the root. The process of inflammation is necessary for this to occur.
What limits the movement of teeth in orthodontic treatment?
The rate of bone remodeling determines the rate at which teeth move. As stated, bone remodeling is an inflammatory response to orthodontic force involving the signaling cascade of cytokines to recruit and differentiate surrounding cells into Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts. The rate of bone turnover is directly correlated to the level of cytokines expressed in the area. The higher the levels of cytokines expressed the faster the bone remodels and hence the faster teeth will move. The lower the level of cytokines (ie. after taking aspirin or other anti-inflammatory meds), the slower the bone remodels and thus there is slower tooth movement.
How does PROPEL affect the movement of teeth?
Micro-Osteoperforations with the PROPEL device cause a localized inflammation where there is an increase blood flow and cytokine expression as part of this inflammatory response. By increasing the cytokines in the area of desired movement, bone remodeling activity greatly increases and therefore the rate of tooth movement increases as well.

This is the first year we'll be celebrating Michaelmas, and I am very excited about adding this celebration to our year!
We are currently in the middle of a language arts block, so I'm weaving it in to our circles and main lessons. The kids really thrive on stories, so they have been the main focus of all our circles so far this year, and the stories of Saint Michael and George and the Dragon are such great stories I really couldn't wait for the end of September to get here.
Saint Michael is known as the Saint who conquered the "dragon" in heaven, a saint who gives strength to people, and a Saint who represent victory over evil. Some stories say during his battle, he banishes the dragon from heaven, and the dragon falls to earth. Michael then creates an earthly body of his spirit in George to fight the dragon on earth and protect the people from evil.
I love the focus on conquering the dragon, celebrating inner courage and strength. During the week we will be focusing on identifying some of our personal dragons and how we can overcome them. On the feast day, September 29th, we will have a small knighting ceremony to celebrate conquering our "dragons".
I couldn't find any stories that had both stories woven together, so I had to create my own. I found some inspiration from this free ebook on waldorflibrary.org . It has a few nice stories to tell young children. I find they really focus on harvest, and less so on courage and bravery, so I really just took snippets and ideas to weave my own story together.
The kids came inside from their outdoor time early and were super excited to jump in to the new set up! The props stay out and the children play with them reenacting the story all week long. We don't have a nature or seasonal table, so this is my compromise. Mondays used to be a drag to get back in to our rhythm, but now they wake up excited about the prospect of a new story for the week.
I used a variety of the toys we had at home as props, but I did purchase a dragon because the one I attempted to make just wasn't cutting it.
The villagers hiding from the dragon in the castle.
George and the princess battling the dragon.
George getting knighted by Saint Michael for his kindness, courage and bravery.
When Saint Michael knights George, I taught the children our verse for the week and introduced it to them as the Knights Oath.
For main lesson work we moved to the table and drew shields with the oath written on them. My kindergartener really wanted to write the words herself, and I was really impressed with her attempt!
My second grader wrote the entire poem, but was thrown by the shape of the shield, so it came out a bit jumbled. He is currently working on re-doing it on a larger piece of paper, because he isn't happy with the final main lesson book product. But for a kid who has really weak fine motor skills, I'm pretty proud he persevered through the poem, without complaint.
Typically he does a picture summary of the story we are focusing on and then prints a written summary a few sentences long (not copy work, his own original sentences describing his picture.) I hadn't planned on the summary work today, mostly because I knew there was a lot of work in the shield and verse, but he still really wanted to draw a picture.
Michael and George conquering the dragon.
The kids were very excited about this story and played with the props all afternoon. I am really looking forward to focusing on building our character through this story and working on some inner dragons. The children really connected with that theme of the tale, which actually surprised me a bit. I thought it would be all knights and dragons and battles that would stay as their focus.
Tomorrow I will post the story I told, in case anyone else wants a story with a bit of a different take.
What will you be doing to prepare for the Feast of Saint Michael?
Thanks for sharing. Today was our very first day celebrating (our version of) Michaelmas. I told Vi the story in that ebook you posted, but weaved in a few details of my own. Vi was much, much more impressed with the princess and not the knight from heavens. She said she had never seen a fire-breathing dragon, and that she wished to meet one one day to see if she'd be afraid or not. She said she thought she wouldn't be afraid. She clearly was relieved that the princess was safe and sound after all. I had intentionally put the emphasis on the bravery of the princess because it's not to say Vi is not brave - she is in many ways - but in certain things she's over-cautious and does not venture. Anyway, she apparently enjoyed the story very much and after story time, went ahead and drew a picture of it all. It's our music and cooking day so that was it for Michaelmas, but I look forward to Wednesday.

I would like to thank the New Bedford Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police. They have been very understanding, diligent and quick-acting against the gang members and drug dealers in my neighborhood.
Within minutes of calling the New Bedford Police Department and telling them that there were 10 to 12 people hanging outside a house that was recently shut down and boarded up by the city, there were seven police cars parked in the area.
The police did not do a quick sweep of the area and leave. Instead, they stayed in the area for nearly an hour, and after the dogs sniffed the area, one officer came out with an evidence box.
Hopefully, sooner rather than later the thugs will get the message. My message right now is a resounding thank you NBPD. Please keep up the good work.

When we first started out, we knew there were a few ecommerce platforms that we just had to partner with. BigCommerce was on the top of the list. They are one of the largest ecommerce platforms worldwide and known for their focus on driving sales for growing stores. We love their mission and are thrilled to announce we have officially been welcomed into their partner ecosystem.
What does this mean for you? It means you get to grow even faster.
We are entering a new age of ecommerce where customers want to feel a personal connection to the brands they buy from. They want to feel known and establish a relationship with stores they trust. In order to build this relationship, retailers need tools that can engage with each visitor personally.
That is a tall order since the majority ecommerce marketing platforms focus only on generic email marketing. We hear it all the time from online retailers like you “We want to build relationships with our customers, but our platforms are separated and marketing cannot personalize interactions with customers”. We hear you – which is why this partnership with BigCommerce is such exciting news.
Build Digital Customer Profiles – Kevy pulls all of your BigCommerce order and browse data into our platform to create robust profiles for every customer. You will know what pages they viewed, what products they like, which items they ordered and so much more.
Take Action in Realtime – This partnership is more than a standard integration. We act as the marketing arm of your BigCommerce store so you can do everything you want to grow sales. Send emails, show dynamic popups or launch triggers based on the actions people take on your site.
Track Revenue of every Campaign – Tired of vanity metrics like open rates and click rates? We are too, which is why Kevy shows you the actual revenue gained from all of your marketing efforts, down to the penny. You will know how much each email, trigger and popup is worth for your business so you can spend your time and resources on what works.
Create Beautiful Emails, Designed to Sell – Kevy’s sweet spot is in our behavior-based marketing, but we are also your full-scale email marketing solution. Send all emails through Kevy and track the revenue to know which message converts.
Segment Easier – We all know segmentation is the cornerstone to great marketing. But most stores are trapped by how manual it is to segment their lists. This integration brings all of your data into one place so you can use Kevy’s rules engine to segment your lists in minutes. Use our drop down list of rules to build segments based on product views, orders made, location, loyalty or even date of purchase. You set the rules, we do the work.
A recent report revealed that nearly $83 billion was spent on retail between April – July and that online shopping accounted for nearly all gains in retail sales. Those are huge numbers for the retail industry – but even bigger news for ecommerce.
Everyone is shopping online, which means the need for true dialogue is greater now than ever. The best retailers use platforms that help them connect with, engage and retain their target shoppers. Which is why we are making it as simple as possible to get the benefits of Bigcommerce and Kevy at once.

If you’re missing a tooth, you have several options when it comes to replacing it. Immediate treatment is important, because when a tooth isn't replaced, it can adversely affect your oral health, your jaw bone mass, and even shorten your life span. There are several good solutions to missing teeth, but as the most modern option, dental implants can often provide the best long-term results.
Removable partials have clasps that attach to surrounding “abutment” teeth, which must carry the weight of the replacement teeth. Because the missing tooth's root is not replaced, the jawbone begins to atrophy. Some people with removable partials complain of discomfort and increased tooth sensitivity. A study conducted by the American Dental Association (ADA) shows that removable partials actually cause patients to lose up to 30% more teeth. This option is popular because it is the least expensive, but in the long run, patients may actually have to spend more time and money to replace additional teeth.
Dental implants are often the ideal tooth-replacement option, because they replace the missing tooth's root as well as the crown. Dental implants do not require support from adjacent teeth, and they keep the jawbone strong because it has a purpose – to support the tooth's root. With dental implants, patients do not experience increased tooth decay or sensitivity, as with bridges. Dental implants have a success rate of 95 to 98%, and can also secure dentures, partials, or bridgework. With regular oral hygiene, dental implants last most people for a lifetime.

PHPUG Münster Meetup 04/2019 - Privacy by design, yes we can!
19:15 - Main-Talk: "Privacy by design, yes we can!"
🗣 Talk: Privacy by design, yes we can!
We now have to obey the law and comply with GDPR, ensuring people's data are securely stored, we track who has access to it and if the client requests to review, update or remove their data, we should do so in an automated fashion. But, are you there yet? Chances are, there's still a long way to go.
In this talk I will address some of the challenges we solved in greenfield projects as well in old, legacy applications. We introduced "privacy by design" as just another "by design" mantra we already had build in our workflow and as we worked on the project, we applied it everywhere when we saw user data (personal or not) was processed. This ensured that all data was handled and treated the same way and allowed the business to reorient themselves again to be creative in approaching their customers.

Thirunaal is an action film that stars Jiiva and Nayanthara in the lead roles under the direction of P.S.Ramnath of Ambasamudram Ambani fame.
Hero Jiiva, an orphan, works under gangster Sharath Lohitashwa, who keeps the townships of Thanjavur and Kumbakonam under his control. Heroine Nayanthara's father, Joe Malloori, is a business partner with Sharath. Amidst this situation, Nayanthara often gets a dream of Jiiva marrying her. So, whenever she happens to meet Jiiva, she feels afraid and leaves the place.
One day, a rowdy gang kidnap Nayanthara when she visits her neighbor Yogi Devaraj, who fails to repay a debt. During that incident, Jiiva fights with the gang single-handedly and saves Nayan. When he expresses his love towards her after the fight, Nayan accepts it and both of them start enjoying their days. Not being aware of this relationship, Joe Malloori fixes a bridegroom to Nayan and makes the arrangements for their engagement. The function comes to a halt when the love affair gets revealed.
Depressed about the happenings, Joe Malloori decides to return to his home town and asks Sharath to settle down his share. When Sharath cheats Malloori, Jiiva threatens to turn a witness against Sharath and makes him settle the amount to Malloori.
On the other hand, police officer Gopinath is in search of witnesses to shoot Sharath in an encounter. Fearing that Jiiva would help the police, Sharath decides to kill him. What happens after that and whether Jiiva succeeds in his love is narrated in the second half of the movie.
Actor Jiiva, looking handsome in this film, has played the role of a local thug named Blade. The action scenes that are taken with Jiiva keeping a blade in his mouth and spits it into pieces on his enemies have come out perfect. On the whole, he has registered a good performance not only in action sequences but also in romance and sentiment scenes.
Nayanthara, who has taken up a village girl character after a long gap, makes her fans happy with her innocent and homely looks. Picturing a rural get up, the tattoos on her back could have been concealed.
Lohitashwa looks terrific in his evil attitude. Joe Malloori registers himself as a responsible father. TV popular Gopinath, who makes his presence in few shots, is not able to make any impression as a police officer. The comedies of Muniskanth and Karunas are enjoyable.
P.S.Ramnath has taken a story that has a equal mixture of action and romance. Although the story knot falls decades back, choice of the lead cast patches it up with the present.
The music melodies from Srikanth Deva makes the audience enjoy the songs. Even the background music is effective and gives a hope for his good fortunes. Mahesh Muthusamy's cinematography is an added support to the movie.
Totally, Thirunaal is a celebration.

Rumor has it that in Rome, ladies of the night who were voraciously hungry after a long night on the job, would come home and prepare pasta using staples always on hand in the pantry. This pasta dish, which is lusty and full of bold flavors, was named for the ladies. It is one of my favorites.
Boil a large stockpot full of water for pasta, while preparing sauce.
Heat olive oil in another large saucepan on medium heat. Add onion and saute for one minute, stirring. Add garlic, red pepper (if using) and anchovy and continue to saute for several minutes until anchovy starts to dissolve. (do not allow vegetables to brown, but to look translucent).
Add tomatoes, crushing with your hands as they are added to the pot. Add capers, olives and black pepper. Increase heat to medium high heat and boil sauce for eight to ten minutes to reduce and thicken.
Add 3 tablespoons of salt to pasta water. Prepare pasta according to directions minus 2 – 3 minutes, until slightly underdone. Drain pasta very well, reserving ¾ cup of pasta cooking water.
Add drained pasta to pot of sauce gradually, mixing and adding reserved water as needed, to help moisten and bind the sauce together with the pasta, tossing as you add more pasta and water, until all of pasta has been added to sauce.
Garnish with cheese and chopped parsley, serving immediately.
Preheat a gas grill to medium high. Oil the racks very well.
Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper, liberally.
Grill the fish without turning for approximately 5-6 minutes until fish is just opaque in the center.
Remove fish carefully from grill and place on a serving platter.
Top fish with salsa and serve immediately.
Heat the oil in a heavy cast iron pan on medium heat until hot, but not smoking.
Season the Romaine with salt and pepper and place it cut side down in the hot pan. Allow lettuce to cook for several minutes until it is starting to brown well on the cut side.
Flip the Romaine halves onto the opposite side and allow to cook until it begins to get a nice nutty brown color. Continue cooking and flipping, until the lettuce starts to wilt, turn golden brown and become tender. You can check doneness by color and also by piercing the core with the tip of a sharp knife. It is done when the knife slips in easily without resistance.
Transfer Romaine to a serving platter, pour the lemon juice over the cut side evenly and sprinkle the cheese directly onto the hot Romaine, which will start to melt on contact.
This is clearly one of the most ridiculously simple, decadent chocolate desserts of all time. It can be prepared in about 5 minutes (plus refrigeration time) and served in decorative glasses for a fabulous dessert while entertaining or as an every day treat during the week. I like to use small, demitasse type glasses, as you only need a few bites of this rich, chocolatey dessert.
Add the chocolate chips, eggs, orange liquor, and salt to a blender container.
Blend on high for about 60 seconds and carefully add the hot cream through the removable cap in the top of the blender.
Continue to blend the mixture on high for another 30 – 60 seconds until the mixture is completely combined, scraping the sides down.
Transfer contents of the blender to serving glasses/containers and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight, covered.
Combine first 5 ingredients in a shaker glass filled ith ice and shake very well until ingredients are extremely chilled.
Strain into a martini glass and garnish with grapefruit rind.
Using a large chefs knife, slice scallops horizontally into 4 even slices.
Transfer scallop slices to a large shallow platter with sides or a flat, shallow plastic Tupperware tub. Cover scallops and refrigerate while preparing marinating ingredients.
In a medium sized bowl, combine lime juice, orange juice, mango, scallion, jalapeno and salt to taste.
Pour marinating sauce mixture over scallops, almost covering them and refrigerate for 1 – 3 hours.
Remove scallops from marinating liquid, reserving liquid. Arrange scallops on a serving platter and garnish with some of the marinating liquid and mango to moisten, salt to taste, and julienned mint. Garnish platter with optional salmon caviar. Serve immediately.
Fresh and flavorful, this is the perfect weeknight dinner. From the kitchen counter to the table in 20 minutes, this dish allows you time to dream Provençal dreams! Have your butcher pound out the chicken breasts for you to save time.
Season flour w/ plenty of salt & pepper. Dredge chicken in flour, patting off excess flour.
Heat 2 tbs oil over medium high heat in a skillet. Sauté the chicken on both sides for approximately 1½ minutes per side. Remove breasts from pan and tent w/ foil. Drain excess oil fro pan.
Add 2 additional tbs oil to pan and sauté onions, garlic, crushed hot peppers (if using), yellow and red peppers on medium heat for 5 minutes, until onions and peppers are softened. Increase heat to medium high heat and add tomatoes, olives and white wine to skillet and cook for 5 -10 minutes, until wine is nearly evaporated. Add parsley, basil, salt, pepper and any juices, which have accumulated under the chicken to the pan, and cook sauce for 5 minutes longer.
Add chicken to the skillet with the sauce and turn the filets over in the sauce two or three times to reheat and blend flavors. Transfer the chicken to a warm serving platter and pour the sauce over. Garnish with additional fresh basil, finely sliced.

Pre-paid debit cards don’t get much love from the mainstream financial press, and yet they’ve proven to be popular, and are increasing in use and availability. In 2008, pre-paid debit cards were loaded to the tune of $8.7 billion, a 125% increase over the previous year. That amount is expected to increase to $125 billion in 2012.
What’s the truth about pre-paid debit cards? How can you use them wisely and take steps to protect yourself?
First, understand the difference between a bank debit card and a pre-paid debit card—they are not the same. A debit card from your bank is used as a “draw” on your checking or savings accounts; is limited in funds only by the amount you have in your accounts at the time; and is subject to regular bank fees, including checking account, overdraft and ATM fees. A pre-paid debit card is not attached to a bank—you do not need to have a checking account to get and use one; there may or may not be small fees to set one up and use it; it can be loaded with whatever amount you choose. Neither bank debit cards nor pre-paid debit cards are subject to financial information oversight as credit cards are, so it is up to you to make sure you understand what you are getting, and to protect yourself and your money.
What Are the Advantages of a Pre-Paid Debit Card?
You don’t have to qualify for it as you would for a credit card, but you can use it in most places you would use a credit card, even internationally.
You don’t need a bank account to get one.
No monthly bills or late charges!
It’s safer to carry than cash.
And you can still use it to withdraw cash from the card if necessary.
You can use it to shop on the internet without needing a credit card.
It can be easily reloaded with funds, via the internet, phone, or ATM.
You can use it as a savings account, even keeping funds on different cards for different purposes. You can also give it as a gift (a good choice to give a student for school expenses).
You can also use it as a way to budget and to control your spending: There’s a definite limit on what you can spend, and you can’t rack up debt, unlike a credit card.
Pre-paid debit card fees are generally lower in total than those fees imposed by banks on checking accounts with their accompanying debit and ATM cards.
As part of our financial services packages, we do offer pre-paid debit cards at PayDayHawaii.
With your pre-paid debit card, you are eligible for a NetSpend Savings Account: No minimum deposit, and it pays 5.00% interest (Annual Percentage Yield)—one of the highest interest rates in the country. Load your card with funds from your savings account, or use it to deposit funds. And it’s FDIC insured.

Safaris are a popular choice for adventure travellers seeking to experience Africa’s spectacular wildlife and wilderness. But there is another way to enjoy both the beauty of the African wilderness and also take part in its conservation and protection.
The abundant wildlife, the landscape, the people and the sunsets… Africa has something that nowhere else on earth can offer and for that reason alone everyone should experience it at some point in their lifetime! It will stay with you fondly for the rest of your days.
The project Transfrontier Africa offer is based in the heart of ‘Big Five’ game country, set in the territory of Greater Kruger National Park. This means it shares its vast wildlife with world-famous Kruger National Park. There are no fences between Kruger and Balule, so you can stay on a remote bush camp surrounded by African wilderness and wildlife, have your food cooked over an open camp fire and get to live and breathe the African wilderness for the duration of your stay!
The Balule Conservation Project is a genuine project contributing to protecting this part of Greater Kruger and the wider management and protection of similar reserves and spaces.
Right now in 2016, rhino poaching specifically, is on the increase. But so is elephant poaching and poaching in general. Transfrontier Africa director Craig Spencer is one of the founders of the now famous Black Mamba Anti-Poaching Unit which the Balule project helps to fund. So by volunteering you would be genuinely contributing to the prevention of poaching and the protection of habitats.
Volunteering will also give you the rewarding feeling that you have personally helped the cause and assisted in helping to ensure that the legacy of these animals continues for generations to come.
Being part of a conservation project will give you an experience and depth of knowledge that you simply will not get on a normal safari experience.
It might be a rustic/basic bush camp experience, but it is also great value for money… Conservation projects are a fraction of the cost of a safari holiday and represent an affordable way to visit Africa. Through partaking you will learn and experience more than you could imagine and the infectious enthusiasm from the staff and researchers will rub off.
For more information on The Balule Conservation Project go to Transfrontier Africa or email info@transfrontierafrica.co.uk.

Analysis suggests the 40cm-long mole mechanism, which will measure Mars' temperature, has barely got out of the tube that was guiding its descent.
The instrument is also now tilted away from the vertical.
Prof Spohn said there would now be a break in operations of two weeks while the situation was assessed.
The Insight probe is sitting on flat terrain close to the equator in a region referred to as Elysium Planitia.
Tests back on Earth prior to the mission getting under way demonstrated that the mole could handle coarse gravel and, given plenty of hammering time, even move larger stones out of the way. So this stoppage is by no means the end of the matter.
"Planetary exploration is not as easy as pie," stressed, Prof Spohn.
The good news is that HP3's sensors can proceed with the first temperature measurements.
The idea of the experiment is to find out how heat from the interior of the planet is being dissipated.
This will give "insights" into how much natural radioactive decay is occurring inside Mars, and how much energy the planet still retains from its formation more than 4.5 billion years ago.
Two other instrument packages on the probe are conducting complementary investigations.
A seismometer system is checking the ground for "Marsquakes" - vibrations that could come from ongoing geological activity or from meteorite strikes. And a radio experiment is being used to check if the planet is wobbling on its axis - an indicator that it might have a liquid metal core like the Earth.

One year after posting photographs on her Instagram account of bruises to her body and filing a police report in Columbus, Ohio, the woman who says Ezekiel Elliott beat her reportedly has broken her silence.
According to TMZ, the accuser released a statement on her Instagram page Saturday, this time not using the Cowboys star’s name, but making it apparent who she is talking about. She has alleged that Elliott got physical with her five times between July 17 and July 22, 2016.
The accuser’s statement comes while the NFL is believed to be close to disciplining Elliott for the allegations. Last week, ESPN reported Elliott was facing a “short suspension” — one or two games — after the league’s investigation. The baseline suspension for a domestic violence incident is six games.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old running back has been accused of breaking a man’s nose in an altercation in a Dallas bar on Sunday.

Children's and Young Adult Literature and Culture Permanent Session/Midwest Modern Language Association Chicago, IL November 14-17, 2019.
Doubles, duality, and doppelgangers are concepts found and addressed throughout Children’s and Young Adult Literature. While twins, such as those found in the Sweet Valley Highor The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamelseries, may overtly speak to doubling, other considerations, such as the “double-voiced discourse” of young adult literature Mike Cadden explores in “The Irony of Narration in Young Adult Literature,” also speaks to the wide treatment doubles and doubling have received by scholars, critics, and authors of Children’s and Young Adult Literature. Children’s and Young Adult Literature are of wide interest to audiences of children, young adults, and adults alike.
I wanted to inform the list that the NEPCA conference destination has been announced for November 15-16th in Portsmouth, New Hampshire at the Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel. We're looking forward to a great conference and have opened up the call for papers.
We have been a well-attended conference for years that offers a welcoming, encouraging and (reasonably) affordable event for graduate students, independent scholars, and scholars of all experience to present their current and forthcoming research.
Adaptation: In Service of Cinema or Novel?
Collaborations of cinema with other art forms open up myriad of issues like the medium’s ability to maintain fidelity to the original narrative, its transformation of the original narrative, or its desire to treat the original as only an occasion for a different narrative. Adaptation studies have, as yet, largely concentrated on studying films as derivatives of original works reinforcing Rabindranath Tagore’s observation that “[c]inema is still playing second fiddle to literature.” It is commonly viewed as a presumptuous palimpsest whose merit lies in its techniques of appropriation, intersection, and transformation of the source text.

text: John McNinja was the father of Daniel McNinja and the grandfather of Dr. McNinja. A hedge wizard and incredibly skilled ninja, his long career earned him countless enemies, enough that his presence at the family household drove his son and daughter-in-law to prepare with weapons, not for him, but for those who sought to kill him. John was a member of the Guild of European Ninjas, and was not allowed to take American Guild contracts. He did attempt to take on a gig with his grandson to assassinate Robert Ortiva on the behalf of his sister Julia. However, Robert had been possessed by a ghost wizard, and John realized he was out of his league and attempted to leave when it gave the two a chance to leave. His grandson, however, angered the wizard, and John was forced to tap into his magic to petrify it, at the cost of his own life and his grandson's first name, which would be forgotten by everyone except himself. So long as he wouldn't say his first name, the ghost wizard would remain in stone. Years later, now-Dr. McNinja revealed his first name to Sparklelord, and the ghost wizard was freed from its prison.

C3 Team Member, Robert Bastone, will be among 12 students representing UCR’s Model United Nations (UCRMUN) to compete at this year’s National Model United Nations conference, which will be held in New York on April 6th-10th. The conference will feature debates on various international issues by students worldwide. Participants are assigned countries or non-government organizations (NGOs) to represent and conduct a mock session, culminating in debate for some students on the floor of the United Nation’s General Assembly and Economic and Social Council.
UCRMUN, which has been in existence for nearly forty years, is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating students in international policy, relations, and politics, and seeks to accurately simulate the functions of the United Nations. Model United Nations has become an increasingly popular activity for high school and college students throughout the country. Conferences throughout the nation have been held including several in Southern California. At the conferences, students represent delegations from various nation-states and non-governmental organizations in the same setting as the actual United Nations. This past February, UCRMUN hosted its 37th annual high school conference, which was attended by over 400 students from13 high schools.
Bastone who is looking forward to the national conference hopes to contribute a “winning attitude” to the competition. He will be representing the non-governmental organization CARE, a development and humanitarian organization the Committee on the Exercise of the Unalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. The twelve UCR students will be placed into six committees, in which two students serve.
Bastone, third year Political Science/Law and Society major, recently joined the award-winning CHASS College Computing team as a News Writer intern. He joined UCRMUN last June and currently serves as Fundraising Director. Recently, he was elected as Assistant-Secretary General of UCRMUN, for the 2004-2005 academic year. Robert is also Vice-President of Member Development for the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity Chapter at UCR, and volunteers in his spare time.
Robert views being chosen as one of the twelve students to attend the New York Conference as a “big honor.” He was chosen along with his fellow committee members based on his experience and service. At the upcoming conference, “I expect a high level of competition similar to what we have experienced at previous conferences,” Bastone commented. In addition, Bastone believes that UCRMUN will fare well in the competition.
