One of my favorite meals to cook is any recipe that involves the crockpot! I love getting dinner started in the morning and then not having to worry about it til dinner time. Cooking a whole chicken usually involves hours or roasting and basting in the oven, but The Paleo Cupboard Cookbook has a recipe which tastes just as good and takes just a few minutes to get into the crockpot! The Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken recipe is a must for any day when you don't have time to cook! I put carrots in the bottom of my crockpot so we have some veggies ready to eat as well.
My husband's favorite side dish with the chicken is Lemon Herb Potatoes. I tried to find the original post listing the recipe I printed out, but had no luck. There are many versions of this out there. My recipe is called "Lemon-Rosemary Sheet Pan Chicken and Potatoes" and was adapted from a Rachael Ray recipe. Here is my adaptation of the adaptation (ha!) and you must give it a try!
Preheat your oven to 425°F degrees. In a small bowl, add the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, thyme and rosemary. Whisk the ingredients and pour over the potatoes. Mix up the potatoes and sauce so all of the potatoes are coated. Cover the potatoes with the sliced lemons. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
Bake for 30 minutes and check for doneness. If the potatoes are not soft or golden-brown enough to your liking, remove the lemon slices, stir the potatoes and cook them for another 10 minutes. Mine are usually done at this point. However, further cooking can be done in 5 minute intervals until the potatoes are finished the way you like them. (We like them crunchy and a bit browned!).
Variation: Add some asparagus or fresh green beans to the potatoes. I haven't personally done this, so have no idea if they would need to cook the same amount of time as the potatoes. My guess is that the asparagus wouldn't need the full 30 minutes. However, this is something you could play around with if your family likes asparagus or green beans!
Final note: While the potatoes are cooking, I am usually cooling the chicken and removing the meat off of the bones to have ready to serve when the potatoes are done.

text: The Stadium Tigers played their home opener in the Stadium Bowl versus Bellevue on Tuesday evening. The Varsity team was possibly still elated from a very decisive JV win because Bellevue was able to score quickly off the first draw. The Tigers soon found their game faces however and battled back in the pouring rain. The game was close throughout, until the last few minutes Bellevue made a push that the Tigers could not answer. The Tigers were led in scoring by Senior center Sadie Treleven, making her season debut, with seven goals. Sophomores Maddie Sollars and Kate Hjalseth, and Freshman Michelle Cove also contributed goals. Goalie Khaila Courtney made six spectacular saves and was an aggressive force in the net.

According to a study published in the journal Heliyon, being obese during pregnancy can affect your new-born's health. The researchers behind the study, from Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sud Réunion in France, reveal the optimal weight gain for women that would give them a balanced risk of having a very small or very large baby. The team has developed an online calculator that can advise women on their ideal weight gain for the safest birth outcome, based on the research.
According to the researchers, women want to know what their optimal weight gain should be to have their baby as safely as possible, and their maternity care providers want to know what advice they can give women throughout their pregnancy. While the results show the recommendations are fine for women in the normal weight range, we have shown they are not ideal for very underweight and very overweight women.
As per the researchers, there is a strong link between the weight of mother and baby: very underweight mothers tend to have smaller babies, called small for gestational age (SGA) babies - and morbidly obese mothers tend to have more large for gestational age (LGA) babies. These babies are at higher risk of conditions like heart attacks, hypertension, obesity and diabetes as adults than babies born at normal weight.
The team of researchers carried out a 16.5 year observational study. They recorded the pre-pregnancy BMI, weight gain, and weight of the baby of 52,092 women who gave birth at full term. The first finding was that only women with a normal BMI had a balanced risk of having an SGA or LGA baby (both 10 percent risk); they call this crossing point the Maternal Fetal Corpulence Symbiosis (MFCS).
As per the study, a woman with a BMI of 17 should gain about 22 kilograms instead of the recommended 12.5-18 kilograms. An obese woman with a BMI of 32 should gain 3.6 kilograms instead of the recommended five to nine kilograms. And very obese women with a BMI of 40 should actually lose six kilograms.
Your dietary choices may also affect your weight. Here are some foods that may help speed up weight loss.
Salads are one of the most obvious low-calorie items. Include more greens and veggies with high water content that make it calorically low. Make sure you add optimal amount of seasonings.
Apples contain pectin, which is a substance that helps you keep fuller for longer. Apples take a while to eat, and end up tricking your brain into believing that your stomach is full. Toss them in your salads, yogurt or oatmeal.
Oatmeal absorbs a lot of water, and is loaded with fibre, both of which make it an excellent food to stave off those hunger pangs, while using quite a few calories to do so.
Eggs have low calories to offer; therefore you can load up on eggs for some generous amount of protein that keeps your tummy fuller for long. Do not add butter or oil, which will only make the calorie count go up dramatically.

To learn, teach. Ever heard that phrase? That's why.
- How to own the truth that burns deep inside my chest and thighs.
- Why it's better to do it now than later.
- That I am just as lovable, whichever I choose.
- How to be bold, courageous, fiercely honest and uncensored, while also being tender, gentle and exquisitely honest, in marriage and other intimate partnerships, friendships, relationships.
I coach people to feel the vitality of love deep within their being, because I want to feel that too. Oh, I long to feel that too, with my one wild and precious life. Why do I coach? I coach because humans are beautiful -- every single human being is SO BEAUTIFUL -- it knocks the breath right out of my lungs when I really sit with that. And when I'm being honest, I will tell you without a sliver of a doubt that I love every single human being on Earth.

text: In this debut collection of bite-size non-fiction and poetry, the author breaks with convention to offer an uninhibited mix of global destinations, writing genres and tone in a single volume. The result is an entertaining and contemporary album of literary `snapshots', perfectly formed for the time-pressed reader. From stories of late-night confessions of `international aristocrats' to impromptu birthday celebrations with the Bedouin in Syria, from poetry about Cambridge cloisters to Amsterdam canals, the author observes old familiar places and friends as closely as new acquaintances and unfamiliar cultures, at home and abroad. #Impressions Without a Camera is a selection of real-life, `non-Photoshopped' anecdotes and reflections that range from comical to poignant, evocative to illuminating. Together, they bring into subtle focus themes as diverse as the English class system, dealing with loss, and the Middle East's contrasting cultural riches and political struggles. Concise, but without compromise on observation and human detail, this book is a treat for anyone craving more than just a `tag' or queue of emojis during their commute or coffee break. The author invites us to escape, for a precious moment, the confines of our instant `camera phone culture' with a detox of historic context and personal impressions - some aesthetic, some more profound - all without hashtag or filter.

Many businesses are still feeling the backlash of the 2008 recession, but the art industry is not one of them. Since the economic downturn, big name paintings have been fetching millions of dollars for auction houses, according to the New York Times.
Rarity has played a role in the success dealers and firms are seeing as of late. The Sotheby and Christie auction houses recently sold off nearly half a billion dollars worth of paintings, sculptures and drawings as more collectors showed a willingness to pay large amounts of money for historical pieces of art. Three world records were set for the prices that two paintings and one sculpture sold for.
Bidders have seemingly willing to splurge to obtain these rare pieces as well. In a 1996 sale held by Sotheby, the auction house had a difficult time making back the money on a Modigliani painting titled, "Jeanne Hébuterne au chapeau." When it recently re-entered auction, was sold for a surprising $19 million.
Artist jobs are projected to increase by 12 percent over the next eight years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. As the industry continues to see success, more people may be encourage to gain an education in art and enter the field.

Today, I watched the movie Rush.
It is one of the most brilliant films I have watched this year. And surprisingly, it is a true life story. It is about two race car drivers who were Formula One rivals. They both were world champions but one was world champion longer. The reason? That one was in it for the long-term, he never let a single win get too much to his head while the other celebrated his only win as if it was everything.
I was greatly touched by lessons in that movie -- from being focused and in for the long run to having a good grasp of your field.
It taught me to stop envying the people whose success are quicker and bigger than mine. Rather I should never stop improving. Not that my aim should be to beat them or make every more successful young person a rival, but that it is all unnecessary sadness to envy people who will soon flame out. Not all young very successful people flame out, but most do. And as you can't know the seven out of the ten who will flame out, it's in your best interest and motivation to assume everyone will, including you if you don't put in extra-ordinary effort forever.
I learned to also never let the voice of passion override that of logic. What ever is logically better is better regardless of the emotions around. Never let your lifestyle balloon because of fashion or trend or what people will say.
Finally, it reinforced my belief that in the end what will separate us all is consistent results. There will be two camps: those who keep talking about the good old days and those who keeping making history. I want to be in the later camp.

Electricity is a very powerful resource whether for a business or home usage because each and everything nowadays relies on electricity to function. If you have a computer, for instance, you need electricity to charge it, ironing, lighting the house, watching a television, powering the refrigerator and the list is endless. It is important to know that if there's an issue with the electricity, the risk can be very high and that is why there is the need to fix electricity or install it properly. Regular inspections can be very important especially when it comes to electricity but as you also inspect the house because it will help you fix things easily. Repairing or installing electricity is not the work of everyone because it is a very risky venture and that is why you need a specialist to do it. Given in this article are some of the considerations to make when choosing an electrician from Rockwall Electric.
Anytime you want to engage a service provider, it is always important to of the appropriate information. Therefore, research will help you in getting the appropriate information that you need in regards to hiring an electrician because there are many companies in the market today and information will help you eliminate them. Use the technology to advantage especially the Internet because the customer reviews you can know which company to hire for repair or installation of electricity and therefore making a wise decision. It is possible that you are not satisfied by the customer reviews and also the referrals get from the people around you and therefore it is important to visit the company by yourself. Know more at this website https://www.britannica.com/science/electric-charge about electrician.
One of the elimination methods that you can use when choosing an electrician from Rockwall Electric is the level of experience and also how skillful the electricians are. Experience and level of skill are necessary when it comes to minimizing the chances of making minor mistakes when handling electricity but also the quality of services. To be on the safe side, it is important that you consider engaging an electrician who is licensed and also insured. An insured company to be considered because sometimes mistakes happen and damages can happen also and therefore you need the insurance cover to cater for the damages but also the license is to ensure that you can follow them up. You need to engage a company that can offer you the best services that are within your budget and that is why you need to compare and contrast different charges so that you can choose the benefits you financially.

SAGE had a fundamental impact on the development of computers and the computer industry. When the program began, work on the first digital computer, MIT's Whirlwind, was in progress. Key to the success of SAGE was the development of a production version of MIT's prototype Whirlwind computer. A little known company called IBM won the contract to design and build the Whirlwind II, otherwise known as AN/FSQ-7, for the proposed new air defense system. When complete, the AN/FSQ-7 weighed 250 tons, and required a 3,000kW power supply and over 49,000 vacuum tubes. When SAGE became fully operational, it relied on 24 AN/FSQ-7s; they remained in service until the Air Force ended the SAGE program in 1983.
In this way, the Q-7 was the computer that built IBM.
In the 1950's MITRE's founders played a key role in the development of the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) system, the first major real-time, computer-based command and control system. Designed as a new air defense system to protect the United States from long-range bombers and other weapons, the SAGE system sent information from geographically dispersed radars over telephone lines and gathered it at a central location for processing by a newly designed, large-scale digital computer. As the system evolved, SAGE broke new ground in radar, communications, computer, information display, and computer programming technologies.
The SAGE system was fully deployed in 1963; the 24 SAGE Direction Centers and three SAGE Combat Centers were spread throughout the U.S. Bill became involved when he returned from Korea late in 1960 He was assigned to the Seattle Air Defense Sector (SEADS) at Mc Chord Air Force Base, just south of Tacoma, Washington.
The Tech in the foreground is pointing to the display with a "Light Gun," which detects the time in the cycle when a particular icon is desplayed to select it for the operation he has inserted in the control panel. The Interceptor Director to his left appears to be controlling an interceptor. If this is in 1960, quite possibly an F-86D, the radar equipped version which fired Folding Fin Aereal Rockets (FFAR) from a "chin mounted" rocket pod.
The three buildings in the graphic are SEADS on the right, 25th Air Division on the left and the generator building at the bottom.
The antique aircraft in the upper left corner seems to be a retired Interceptor on display at the old SAGE center which was first operational about 1958.
IBM's massive SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) system for air-defense radar processing helpd calm '50s societal hysteria over the possibility of a renegade Russian bomber. A replacement for the grease-pencil plotting of radar blips - far too slow to be effective against supersonic planes - SAGE kept vigil for Red nukes screaming over the North Pole. Yet it was fooled more than once, says Computer Museum curator Dag Spicer, by flocks of birds soaring above Newfoundland.
During its design, some 7,000 programmers had their hands on SAGE. By 1963, the system had evolved into 23 windowless blast-resistant centers around North America, each with a 250-ton computer powered by 49,000 vacuum tubes. Via modem, the machines spoke to one another, to ground and shipboard radar, and to weather stations, and kept tabs on legit air traffic.
Operators stationed in blue-lit rooms interacted with their screens using light guns. Judging by the messages penciled on the backs of removable knobs on the pictured model - "Get me out of here!" and "I want a pizza!" - the work was tedious. Energy boosts came from cigarettes, ignited from lighters built into the console, and snuffed out into onboard ashtrays. Rare moments of intensity were quickly quelled, recounts Spicer, once it was determined that "attacks" were simulations generated by training tapes accidentally left playing.
surface. The panel fronts each are about 4 inches high and 30-40 inches wide.
There were two complete computers, one currently controlling the Air Defense of the Sector, the other in stand by and except when maintenance was being performed was in a continuous loop of self tests. One part of the self test was to copy a complete data base of the current situation from the active computer so that the standby could assume that role without skipping a beat.
The room was incredibly cold but the vacuum tubes demanded it. There was a constant warbling sound that helped the operators detect any problem. The engineers had rigged an audio amplifier on a particular bit in the accumulator so that the cycling programs could be "listened to." When we were learning to program the computer (in binary) one game we played was to learn how to make the speakers play music. An added challenge was to control the user consoles. We drew a hula dancer whose hips moved just right. Then we blended it with the computer playing Aloha Oye and when we used the light gun on her navel the skirt fell off.
One of my favorite stories to illustrate the advance of technology is to remember when we got our second 8k of memory. Here is a photo of the first 8k with a blurb from the MITRE Corp. documentation.
" FSQ-7 magnetic core memory. Central computer was a binary parallel machine with an 8892-word core memory and a speed of roughly 75,000 single-address instructions/second. To facilitate processing, numbers representing positional data were stored and processed as vectors with two 16-bit components."

I didn’t start my M.Ed program until summer 2011, which was where I first learned about Connectivism and Connected Learning, years after CCK08 had been offered. The term MOOC was new to me, and I started hearing about Stephen Downes, George Siemens, and David Cormier. A little later in the program I first heard of DS106 and was introduced to more people doing really interesting things in ed tech namely Alan Levine, and Jim Groom.
Thankfully I had been introduced to the ideas put forward by these educator-technologists by the time 2012 rolled around. But as someone trying to look back at what connectivist courses looked like early on I found imagining the format difficult. xMOOCs were easy to image, as they just replicated the LMS based designs we’ve all become accustomed to. I participated in at least one C leaning open course, ETMOOC, facilitated by Alec Couros in 2013. It used a WordPress site as a hub, where mostly I watched the guest lectures/webinars and I also followed the hashtag on Twitter. I hadn’t really had a chance to participate in an open course that used blog syndication, an assignment bank (like DS106 has), or other distributed course designs. (Thinking about it, that’s only mostly true. In 2015 I participated for a couple of weeks in The Happening 2: Teaching Machines co-hosted by Mike Caulfield and Audrey Watters and the course used a Federated Wiki. This idea still stands out to me as a great way to produce student writing, but it seems to have faded away for the time being).
I have internal funding and approval to offer a MOOC this fall titled ‘e-learning 3.0’ which will cover the next generation of e-learning technologies (*lots* to cover here). I’ll be using gRSShopper to offer it, and participants can use their own gRSShopper instances to take it.
Cool, a course facilitate by Downes, and using the gRSShopper software I’ve only just heard about. So I took a look for how I could get my hands on gRSShopper and first thing I come across is the GitHub page. Scrolling down the page, the first header in the read.me is “Installation – works for CPanel on Reclaim Hosting”. I can’t think of a more welcoming header, I’ve got a Reclaim account and have used it to host my WordPress sites mostly. I dabbled with Pressbooks for a little while, but ended up breaking an entire subdomain I had when trying to update it. That’s ok, I have other ways to use Pressbooks so the time and energy needed to self-host was more than I had at the time anyway. I’ve also played around with Piwigo based on Jim Luke’s recommendation, and during one of the Making Sense of Open Education challenges. After Alan Levine’s #OEextend event, I decided to give Koken a try as well, but haven’t made it too far yet. Long story short, I’m willing to try new things, and given the awesome support I’ve received from Reclaim in the past I’m not afraid to try things that on the surface appear to be at the edge of my capability.
I got about half way through and was running the server test and the initializer. I found that the server test produced an error – apparently missing a Perl Module – and the initializer failed completely. Thanks to Stephen’s quick replies in GitHub I was able to make some corrections to what I was doing and I managed to get it working.
Reclaim pulled me out of my tailspin yet again with tips and guideance (really, Tim helped me to help myself, a bit like a teach a man to fish kind of scenario and it worked perfectly) and I am now ready for E-Learning 3.0. If you’re interested in taking the MOOC too, rest assured that the installation will go much smoother as the instructions and code have been much improved as I stumbled my way through installation. There is a lot of great support out there so don’t be discouraged. I hope to see you in the course.

Most employees who work for one of the Big Four work a lot of hours and this is recognized and appreciated by the management. In order to keep the staff from burnout, especially during the busy tax season, an average of five weeks fo vacation time is given to accountants to keep them well rested. This is a huge perk and is well above the national average of vacation time given to entry-level corporate workers.
Working remotely is coming into more prominence in the 21st century and the Big Four are shifting to meet this trend. They offer flexible hours in which their accountants can work from home in order to meet their obligations. This is appreciated greatly by the staff, especially by those who have previous family commitments.
Not having to wear a suit and tie every day is an important perk for those accountants working for the Big Four. The management emphasizes that they want people to be comfortable when they are putting in their long day at work. Having more relaxed standards of dress helps ease the stress of accountants for these firms.
When saving for retirement all accountants know the benefits of compound interest. It doesn’t take a math whiz to realize that when the company is going to give you free money to match all of your contributions to your retirement account then you can reach your retirement goals a lot faster. This is a true benefit that helps the employees of Big Four firms to build real wealth that they will depend on for a lifetime.
Having children is a huge milestone in your life and Big Four firms understand the need for bonding and family time that comes when there is a new addition to the family. They offer some of the most generous maternity and paternity leave plans in the country.
With these five benefits, working for a Big Four company is an enticing way to increase your benefits and career satisfaction at the same time.

As promised, today’s MKS as follow-up to MKS53 will give an insight how the SAP TM 9.3 Package Builder transfers the supplied product items into a product – package item hierarchy.
1) Get the Package Builder Profile: This profile assigned to the Freight Unit Building rule holds some of the generally valid steering parameters. Some of them are also available on a more specific level in the product – package type assignment.
2) Determine for each item if it is considered as changed: In case the calling application has provided a before state (which can already include a created product – package item hierarchy), the PB checks which product items have been changed (new or adjusted quantity) and will process only those items. All other will remain untouched. In the SAP TM case the Freight Unit Builder does take over this delta handling and no before state will be available.
Nevertheless interesting, because there is an enhancement method available CHECK_ITEM_CHANGED. This might be useful as all items are passed throught here and a special logic can be applied to exclude some items from the packaging. In addition, all items can be collected here in case some mass reading of item specific data is required for the enhancement. (Example: Collect all keys in an instacne attribute of the enhancement implementation class and read all required data in one of the following methods).
3) Get all product – package type assignments including all steering attributes and settings: Determine most specific assignment for each relevant item. Usually product, partner, and location is supplied and now the best key fit needs to be found. The assignment is the key for the later split factor determination.
5) Determine item split factor for each relevant product item: Combines the product – package type assignment with the available master data definitions. Determines target package type, the split quantity for full product packages, layer quantities, stacking attributes, combination indicators, and height and weight limits.
6) Group product items by target package type: Groups all product items that go onto for example the same pallet type. Items within one group could potentially be consolidated together.
7) Build full product packages and determine remaining consolidation quantity: PB applies for each product item the full package split quantity. This can lead to 0 to n full product packages and a remaining product item quantity of 0 to < full package split quantity.
The following graphic shows step 7 as phase 1: Nothing is consolidated so far. In case the PB stops now, the remaining product quantities are placed onto seperate pallets.
8) Determine product layers: For all remaining product quantities the PB now creates product layers as defined in the layer split quantity. A product layer can either be full (layer quantity = split quantity) or incomplete (layer quantity < split quantity). For each remaining product quantity the result of this step can be 0 to n full product layers and 0 to at most 1 incomplete layer. This layer holds the remaining quantity that could be consolidated further into mixed layers.
In case a product is marked to be kept together on a single mixed package, its layers will be aggregated to ensure this.
a) The standard layer consolidation will always try to create stable layers by prefering to combine products with the same height. Those could form a complete layer where something could be stacked onto.
b) Remaining product quanities will be consolidated into inhomogenous layers creating non-stackable layers.
Depending on the product mix and the left-over product quantities the result of the mixed layer building can vary quite a bit. Customer scenarios will little product line items per order and high product quantities will see little effect in step 9 (but a lot in step 7), while scenarios with many product line items and small quantities will mainly depend on the efficiency of this step.
Note that the mixed layer building already can consider product sequence (in case provided using enhancement method DETERMINE_ITEM_SEQUENCE).
Note that the completness indicator of a mixed layer can be manipulated using the package building profile, where a tolerance can be maintained.
10) Layer combination: Result of steps 8 and 9 is a set of 0 to n full product layers, 0 to n incomplete product layers (could not be consolidated into mixed layers; for whatever reason), 0 to n complete mixed layers, and 0 to n incomplete mixed layers.
The standard applies a package count and height optimization logic. Basic rule: Any package / pallet can have at most 1 incomplete non-stackable layer (in reality the one on top). So the number of incomplete (product/mixed) layers is the minimum number of result packages. After doing this assignment, the PB will add the remaining layers to the packages using a bin stacking algorithm.
The standard provides as alternative a pick-sequence algorithm, but this must be activated using the settings (as it requires data from enhancement method DETERMINE_ITEM_SEQUENCE anyway). This algorithm then just goes through the item layers and adds them up until a limit is reached. Then it starts a new package (or fills up the next package created due to an incomplete layers).
11) Create the required package items: So far all processing was done based on the product items and their layers. All of those items and layers now have an assignment to a package. Those are created now including all attributes (weight, height, …).
12) Create package hierarchy: In case the scenario is configured to first package products into boxes and then put those onto pallets, this package item hierarchy is created similar to the product – package hierarchy.
Obviously the challenge here is step 9 for scenarios with many product items with little quantity. Approach for this is to view the complete pallet as a single mixed layer and fill it up in an efficient way. Here we are continously improving together with our front-runner projects.
I see that you can limit the package height – But how can you specify the maximum allowed length and width of the package? Certain products may not fit in certain package types .

Using Python, Matlab, Igor Pro, C++, ...?
The SPM Programming Interface now supports custom scripts from any programming language.
The LabVIEW Programming interface is a powerful customization and automation tool, but not everybody wants to use LabVIEW as the default programming language. Python, in particular, is becoming one of the most relevant programming languages for experimental work.
As a result, we added a generic TCP interface to the Programming Interface add-on. The same functionality available in LabVIEW is now also available for generic scriping languages. The only requirement is the ability to communicate with a TCP port on the host PC, a requirement fulfilled by all languages listed above.
Every user of the LabVIEW programming interface will now have access to both versions.

text: Migration is an integral part of human existence where people move from one politically well defined area to another. The movement may vary from temporary/circulatory to relatively permanent nature and involves change in residence between two places. Although several propositions have put forward to explain why people move, the ‘push-pull’ paradigm remains to be dominant. That is migration is primarily from peasant based/economically depressed areas to industrialized zones or from peripheral to core areas.

Poet, anthologist and critic, Lien Chao was born in China in 1950 and came to Canada in 1984 to study Canadian literature. She eventually completed both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at York University. Her Ph.D. dissertation is an examination of Chinese-Canadian literature and it formed the basis for her book of literary criticism Beyond Silence. Chao continues to live in Toronto.
This long narrative poem in English and Chinese follows one woman’s journey from China to Canada over four decades. In these pages the two languages sit side by side, mirroring each other, each telling a tale that alternates between confusion and despair and hopes and dreams. Lien Chao depicts the struggle of a generation in its persistent search for freedom and for free artistic expression.
Bilingual edition: Chinese and English.
In these poems, created in both English and Chinese, Lien Chao evokes the lives of Asian Canadians in all their diversity and depth, as she reflects on the issues of identity, assimilation and language.
These issues occur in the very act of confronting the two very different languages—Chinese and English—with each other, so that that confrontation itself becomes a metaphor for adaptation and conflict of cultures in Canada.
In Chinatown and mixed neighbourhoods, in condos and tenements, in public parks and in college, the protagonists of these stories find love, face loneliness, confront family crises, and overcome racism as they evolve and grow in this exciting, ever-changing multicultural society.
A gripping creative memoir of growing up in Mao’s China in the latter part of the twentieth century.
This study of the literary output in English by Chinese Canadians begins with the 130-year history of the community in Canada to consider first how institutional racism and neglect contributed to its collective silence in mainstream media, history, and mythology; since the 1970s a fully developed Chinese literary consciousness and historical awareness have emerged in the country.

Washington University offers a Graduate Certificate in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) for students in Master of Arts (AM) or PhD programs who wish to enhance their disciplinary studies with an interdisciplinary concentration in gender and sexuality studies. The certificate offers students opportunities to meet and engage with faculty and graduate students in departments throughout Arts & Sciences and the professional schools who do research on women, gender and sexuality. The certificate prepares students for job opportunities within women, gender, and sexuality studies programs as well as within their home disciplines.
Graduate certificate students are invited to participate in a variety of events, including special guest lectures and workshops, conferences, the WGSS Colloquium Series, faculty searches, the WGSS newsletter Gender Spectrum, and informal gatherings. The department sponsors a graduate certificate workshop providing both professional development and a place where graduate students share their research and writing with others interested in feminist, gender, and sexuality-oriented scholarship.
The WGSS department also offers certificate students the opportunity to observe and then design and teach sections of introductory courses in WGSS and to participate in this joint mentored teaching experience (MTE). The MTE in WGSS takes place over two semesters. During the first, students undergo a mentored teaching preparation semester in which they observe the class they will teach and are mentored by the instructor. They also attend instructor meetings devoted to examining content and pedagogy. They develop a syllabus, often in consultation with their WGSS teaching mentor and their department adviser, that is reviewed carefully by WGSS faculty. These students may also be undergoing a mentored teaching experience in their own departments during this first semester. The next semester, they teach the WGSS course, are observed by WGSS faculty and, in some cases, by faculty in their own departments. These faculty use a rubric for the assessment, which is made available to the student, and receive a written assessment, which they then discuss with the observing WGSS faculty member. Sometimes students are observed and assessed more than once. Students who undergo the MTE are equipped to offer both disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarly and teaching expertise to hiring institutions.
The Graduate Certificate in WGSS provides students with a rich repertoire of pedagogical skills, scholarly opportunities, professional development, and collaborative experiences.
Graduate students interested in the certificate should apply for it after consulting both their departmental director of graduate studies and the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies certificate chair. The certificate requires the completion of five graduate-level courses, at least two of which must be drawn from home-based Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies course offerings.

Renewal contracts for 2008 Health & Fitness Business show exhibitors went out per normal last November, but it wasn’t until this week that management realized there had been a bit of a boo-boo. Instead of sending contracts with the early-bird discount – the same rate as 2008 for renewals by Dec. 31 for the 2009 show – a standard contract with the new 2009 rate was sent.
Renewal contracts for 2008 Health & Fitness Business show exhibitors went out per normal last November, but it wasn’t until this week that management realized there had been a bit of a boo-boo.
Instead of sending contracts with the early-bird discount -- the same rate as 2008 for renewals by Dec. 31 for the 2009 show -- a standard contract with the new 2009 rate was sent. That included a 3.4 percent increase in booth fees intended only for new exhibitors or later contracts.
When sales manager Andria Klinger came back from a two-week holiday, she said she wondered why there had been so few renewals -- much lower than normal especially considering the emphasis on business education for 2009. So she began investigating, and she heard about manufacturers questioning rates and, in a few cases, about outright angry exhibitors.
“I realized this on Tuesday,” she said. “Most got the standard contract instead of the renewal contract with the early-bird discount, but some who contacted us individually did get the early-bird contract.
“Essentially we wanted to offer an incentive to customers who participated in 2008 to participate in 2009 and get a flat rate,” she added.
Group show director Andy Tompkins said they have also heard about costs continuing to be an issue, particularly in this economy. To make it right, the team has extended the 2008 “early-bird” rate through Feb. 16. It will be available to anybody who signs up by then, even new exhibitors.
“It’s our hope people who take advantage of the 2009 event will take advantage of this rate,” Tompkins said.
With the current economic situation and the trying times for retailers, Tompkins said the show will be finalizing in the next couple of months education and activities that will help retailers develop their business. That may include some pre-show activities the day before the 2009 HFB show officially opens, as well as educational events and speakers.

Los Angeles mayoral race — who are the candidates’ supporters?
This article was originally posted at: https://smartblogs.com/leadership/2013/05/06/los-angeles-mayoral-race-who-are-the-candidates-supporters/.
The race is coming down to the home stretch for the next mayor of Los Angeles. Eric Garcetti and Wendy Greuel are in the final stages in their respective campaigns to become mayor. Election Day is Tuesday, May 21, so both candidates are in heavy campaign mode — and continuing to raise funds to support their campaigns.
In the March 5 primary, Garcetti won 33.1% of the vote and Greuel won 29%.
The two campaigns have raised a total of almost $17.7 million. Although Garcetti leads in the polls and received more votes in the primary, he has raised less money than Greuel. To date, the Garcetti campaign has raised approximately $7.2 million; the Greuel campaign has raised approximately $10.5 million.
What type of voter is contributing to each campaign and where do they live? Who is likely to vote in the upcoming election?
Prior to the primary election, the Garcetti campaign had raised $3.7 million from individuals. The Greuel campaign raised $3.8 million from individuals. The most an individual can donate to a mayor candidate is $1,300 for the primary and $1,300 for the runoff election, according to the Los Angeles City Ethics Commission.
The ZIP codes that the Garcetti campaign brought in the most are 90210 ($166,945), 90049 ($158,950) and 90069 ($97,720). The median household income in each of these ZIP codes is significantly higher than the U.S. median of $50,157. The ZIP codes that the Greuel campaign raised the most from are 90210 ($212,648), 90049 ($164,394) and 90024 ($113,275).
Both campaigns have received most of their campaign funds from voters in the same ZIP codes, due in part to the wealth in those areas, but also because both candidates are so similar. Both are Democrats and both have held elected positions in the City of Los Angeles.
The candidates appear to attract similar donors. Esri, a geographic information systems company, developed a Tapestry Segmentation system that classifies U.S. residential neighborhoods into 65 unique market segments based on socioeconomic and demographic characteristics.
The top Tapestry segments for contributions to both candidates are Laptops and Lattes, Metro Renters, Trendsetters and Top Rung. Residents of each neighborhood type account for at least 10% of donations to each campaign.
Residents of Laptops and Lattes neighborhoods are single, affluent and still renting. With a median age of 37.6 years and a median household income of $97,408, they are highly educated professionals who are partial to big‐city life. Metro Renters are young, well‐educated singles who are just beginning their professional careers. They have a median age of 32.1 years and a median household income of $49,852. Most rent apartments in high‐rise buildings, living alone or with a roommate.
Trendsetters are on the cutting edge of urban style. They live in older West Coast city neighborhoods and are young, diverse, mobile, educated professionals with substantive jobs. The median age is 34.8 years and the median household income is $53,345. Residents of Top Rung neighborhoods are very wealthy and represent less than 1% of all U.S. households. They have a median household income of $173,721. Residents are married couples with and without children, highly educated and in their peak earning years.
One method to measure and track supporters is by the number of contributors. Each campaign had more than 7,500 contributors during the primary.
Garcetti had the most contributors from 90049 (346), 90210 (309) and 90069(222). These are the same top three ZIP codes for contributions amount however, not all ZIP codes are the same. For example, ZIP code 90026 had $51,048 in contributions from 188 people, for an average of $272 per contributor. This compares to 90210 that had $540 per contributor.
Greuel had the most contributors from 90210 (342), 90049 (313) and 91604 (250), three of the top four ZIP codes with the highest contributions per ZIP code. ZIP code 90210 had an average contribution of $622 per person compared to $400 per person in 91604.
One key note is that not all contributors were from the Los Angeles area. Each candidate received contributions from other areas including New York and Boston.
Each campaign is very concerned about turnout on Election Day. Although an individual may support a particular candidate, going to the polls may be another matter if someone doesn’t feel particularly motivated to vote.
What do we know about the people who are most likely to vote?
Residents of The Elders neighborhoods are most likely to vote in an election. Residents of these neighborhoods are typically retirees that live in senior living communities, primarily in warm climates. They have a median age of 71.2 years. Approximately 80% collect receive Social Security; 48% receive retirement income. Although neither campaign has received many contributions from this Tapestry segment; these voters could influence friends or family.
Residents of Laptops and Lattes, Metro Renters and Top Rung, all top contributors to both the Garcetti and Greuel campaigns, are also more likely to vote. Residents of Trendsetters neighborhoods were top contributors, but are not likely to vote.
Residents of Las Casas, NeWest Residents and Southwestern Families neighborhoods are the least likely to vote. Both campaigns received some contributions from residents in these neighborhoods, but the amounts are relatively small. Three percent of Greuel’s contributions come from residents of NeWest Residents neighborhoods. Five percent of Garcetti’s contributions come from residents of NeWest Residents neighborhoods.
Las Casas residents are young, Hispanic families. The average household has 4.14 people; 63% of the households include children. The median household income is $34,323. Residents of NeWest Residents are young and have a family-oriented lifestyle. Family types are married-couple or single-parent; children are present in 54% of the households. Approximately half of the population is foreign-born. Southwestern Families are ethnically diverse and are the bedrock of Hispanic culture in the Southwest. Their median household income is $25,155.
Even though this article focuses on the Los Angeles mayoral election, candidates and campaigns at all levels can succeed by learning more about the voter types in their electoral areas. People with similar backgrounds, demographics and lifestyles tend to support the same types of candidates because they agree on issues and have the same beliefs. Campaigns can use demographic and lifestyle data to locate supporters; find more like them; target voters to contribute, volunteer — and vote!
In Los Angeles, Garcetti and Greuel have a bit of a challenge because many of their supporters come from the same types of neighborhoods. Differentiating themselves at both ends of the support base may be the key to winning the election.
Currently, Garcetti leads in the polls by approximately 10 points. Greuel could gain support if she uses demographic and lifestyle data to learn about her supporters and find new ones. Garcetti can extend his lead by taking the same approach. We will know the outcome of the election when the results are in on May 22.

Rumor Alert: Apple Tablet Manufactured by Foxconn, Coming in Q1 2010?
Apple-related rumors may be annoying and tiresome, but at a certain point they usually start converging towards the truth. Lately, we keep hearing that the launch date for this fabled device is the first quarter of 2010 (February, most rumors agree, is very likely), and it's confirmed in the latest rumor coming from Digitimes.
According to their sources, Foxconn Electronics (the company that produces the iPod and the iPhone) will manufacture the device; it'll launch in the first quarter of 2010, and initial shipments will be in the 300,000-400,000 range.
Furthermore, the device will have a 10.6-inch display (negligible change from the 10.7 inches, which is what we heard before), it will be more of an e-book reader than a music-oriented device (quite logical, since iPod and iPhone already fulfill that role quite successfully), and it'll have a long battery life, quick net connection, and an easy to use interface.
No real surprises here, let's just hope that all these sources pointing to a 2010 Q1 launch date aren't wrong, or else we'll probably have to endure another round of rumors claiming a summer launch.


text: Malaria and cryptosporidiosis, caused by apicomplexan parasites, remain major drivers of global child mortality. New drugs for the treatment of malaria and cryptosporidiosis, in particular, are of high priority; however, there are few chemically validated targets. The natural product cladosporin is active against blood- and liver-stage Plasmodium falciparum and Cryptosporidium parvum in cell-culture studies. Target deconvolution in P. falciparum has shown that cladosporin inhibits lysyl-tRNA synthetase (PfKRS1). Here, we report the identification of a series of selective inhibitors of apicomplexan KRSs. Following a biochemical screen, a small-molecule hit was identified and then optimized by using a structure-based approach, supported by structures of both PfKRS1 and C. parvum KRS (CpKRS). In vivo proof of concept was established in an SCID mouse model of malaria, after oral administration (ED90 = 1.5 mg/kg, once a day for 4 d). Furthermore, we successfully identified an opportunity for pathogen hopping based on the structural homology between PfKRS1 and CpKRS. This series of compounds inhibit CpKRS and C. parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis in culture, and our lead compound shows oral efficacy in two cryptosporidiosis mouse models. X-ray crystallography and molecular dynamics simulations have provided a model to rationalize the selectivity of our compounds for PfKRS1 and CpKRS vs. (human) HsKRS. Our work validates apicomplexan KRSs as promising targets for the development of drugs for malaria and cryptosporidiosis.

Gold drugs have long been used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis reducing the symptoms of pain and stiffness.
Gold drugs have been successful in reducing the inflammation in joints and also the symptoms of pain and stiffness in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Gold has been used for many years to successfully treat rheumatoid arthritis. The Frenchman Jacques Forestier reported in 1929 that the use of gold complexes was beneficial in the treatment of arthritis. Later work after the Second World War demonstrated conclusively that gold drugs are effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis patients. Many experts consider gold to be among the most effective drugs for reducing the inflammation in the joints and so reducing the symptoms of pain and stiffness.
Several forms of gold are available, but usually one of the injectable forms of gold salts: gold sodium thiomalate (Myochrysine) and aurothioglucose (Solganal) are used. There is also an oral tablet that contains gold called auranofin (Ridaura).
It is generally reported that it can take many weeks before the obvious benefits of gold-based treatments are felt and side effects are possible.

It never fails. Every time we get together with family a card game breaks out. Normally we’d be excited, but in our case the games of choice are nothing more than Hearts or Spades (and sometimes Euchre). We get it – taking the time to learn a new game that you may never get to play again is not most people’s idea of a good way to spend holiday time. Falling back on classic card games allows you to get to playing without much setup.
We’ll be getting together in a couple weeks for Easter dinner and this time we’ll be prepared. We’re bringing along a copy of Bezier Games‘ brand new Cabo card game! We specifically chose this title because of its family-friendly artwork, strategic play and more importantly, ease of learning! And because it offers just the right amount of player interaction, we’re pretty sure it’ll be a hit. Keep reading – it’s super-easy to learn!
To win at Cabo you simply have to have the lowest score. Your score is the sum of the cards in front of you. On your turn you’ll be swapping them out with ones you draw or with an opponent. And when you think you have the lowest total – end the round! That’s all there is to it – let’s play!
Setting up a game of Cabo is just as easy. Shuffle the deck of custom cards and deal out four to each player, face-down. Place the deck in the center of the play area and turn over the top card to form a discard pile. Each player may peek at two of their four cards to see what they were dealt. Choose a start player and you’re ready to begin!
On your turn you take one action from three possible choices. You may draw the top card from the deck, look at it and either exchange it with one of your current cards or discard it and take any listed action. When swapping, place the newly-drawn card face-down in your tableau and discard the replaced card face-up to the discard pile. If you don’t wish to swap it out, discard it and check for one of three possible actions – Peek, Swap or Spy.
Peek allows you to take a peek at one of your cards so you can learn what value it is. Spy is the same, except you’re peeking at an opponent’s card. Swap requires you to swap one of your cards with any card owned by another player! Remember, your goal is to curate the lowest score by summing up the values on your cards, so swap wisely!
If you prefer, you can take the top card from the discard pile instead of drawing a new one and place it face-up in your tableau, discarding the replaced card. Lastly, instead of taking any new cards, if you think you have the lowest total at any time during the round, call out “Cabo” on your turn and signal the final round. All other players get one turn each and then round scores are tallied.
Additionally, whenever you are replacing cards in your collection by drawing from the deck or discard pile, if you know you have identical cards, you can discard all of them and replace them with just the one new card. This is a great way to lower your overall score by reducing the number of cards you have! Be certain of the matching cards, there is a penalty for trying to discard multiple cards that do not match! Also, if you start with an unlucky hand, you can try to collect the four highest valued cards (two 13’s and two 12’s) to create a trump hand that beats everyone!
Once “Cabo” has been called, or the draw deck runs out, the round ends and everyone reveals their cards. If the person who called “Cabo” has the lowest scoring hand, they receive zero points for the round. If they were incorrect, they’ll receive their hand total plus 10 penalty points. Everyone else also sums up their cards and receives those points. All cards are collected and reshuffled to prepare for the next round! A full game of Cabo is finished when one person’s total exceeds 100 total points. Whoever has the lowest score at that time is the winner!
As promised, Cabo is super quick to learn and just as easy to play! Supporting up to four players, expect a full game of Cabo to finish in around 45 minutes. You won’t have to wait long to get your own copy – it releases at retail next week for under $13! Pre-order your copy today to have it in time for Easter Sunday!
Do you love finding out about games before they hit the shelves? Check out Bezier Games’ website and follow them on Twitter or Facebook so you can be among the first to hear about their upcoming releases. We’ve gotten our own peek at a couple of them – you’ll want to be paying attention!
What’s your go-to card game with family?
