Conrad Walter Worrill was born on August 15, 1941, in Pasadena, California. His mother, Anna Bell, was the first African American to sing in the Pasadena Philharmonic Orchestra and his father, Walter, was a college-educated YMCA manager. Conrad Worrill became an activist and scholar whose goal is to advance the cause and concept of African independence and self-determination both in the United States and internationally.
After moving to Chicago on his ninth birthday, Worrill became serious about athletics. He gained his first racial consciousness through competitive swimming when his black YMCA team faced serious heckling. In 1962, he was drafted into the Army and shipped to Okinawa, Japan. While overseas, he read profusely about African American history, culture and politics. After he returned to Chicago in 1963, Worrill attended George Williams College but became radicalized by the Black Power movement. After graduating in 1968, a West Side YMCA hired him as the program director. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He headed George Williams College's Urban Institute in 1973 and began teaching at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago in 1976, where he is the coordinator and professor of Inner City Studies Education. While organizing in 1983 to elect Chicago's first black mayor, Harold Washington, Worrill co-founded the Task Force for Black Political Empowerment. As the national chairman of the National Black United Front (NBUF), Worrill is working aggressively to change the American public school curriculum to be inclusive of the contributions of Africans and African Americans.
Worrill is the elected economic development commissioner of the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (N'COBRA). He served as special consultant of field operations for the historic Million Man March/ Day of Absence on October 16, 1995, in Washington, D.C. As part of the fight to win reparations for the American descendants of slaves, he traveled to Geneva, Switzerland, in 1997 with a delegation to formally charge the U.S. Government with genocide and human right violations before the Commission on Human Rights. The delegation presented the commission with a "Declaration of Genocide by the United States Government Against the Black Population in the United States" with 157,000 signatures.
Upon returning to the United States, Worrill presented this petition to the United Nations in New York City. In 2001, he led a 400-member delegation to the UN World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa. He writes the syndicated weekly column "Worrill's World," which is widely read in African American newspapers across the country. In August 2002, Worrill organized a national reparations rally attended by thousands.

text: Medieval book clasp of Howsam type A.2, dating to c. 1300-1450. The clasp is made from cast copper alloy and is functionally a strap end of composite 'forked spacer' type (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, 140-146). Two plates, set either side of the fork, form a socket for the strap. Traces of the solder that secured them are present. In front of the fork is a 20.0mm diameter, hemispherical boss, its face marked by six, incised, radiating lines, linked by curved lines. Through the boss is a 3.2mm diameter hole which would have originally fitted over a pin, holding the strap in place around the book. The clasp terminates in a powerful, chisel-cut, animal's head, with long, lentoid ears, flanking a sharply defined, three faced, pyramid. The animal's eyes are also lentoid but set vertically. In its gaping jaws is a 5.0mm diameter loop, which on other examples has held a wire ring. These object are discussed in record IOW-6B705B, a comparable object. Length 79.8mm, Width 22.0mm, Thickness 10.0mm, Mass 38.95g.

Keeping active as you get older can be a challenge, especially if you find it harder to continue doing the activities you have enjoyed throughout your life. It is still important to find pass-times you can enjoy however, as they can be crucial to maintaining your physical and mental well-being. There are stimulating activities suitable for everyone regardless of age or physical ability. These are 10 of our suggestions.
Swimming is one of the best physical activities for older people. A fun and easy form of exercise, swimming is particularly suited to those might find other forms of aerobic exercise difficult or painful. It places no pressure on the joints whilst providing the same cardiovascular benefits of higher impact activities such as jogging. One of the biggest benefits of swimming is the balance improvement it can provide. An Australian study found that people over 70 who swam regularly were 33% less likely to suffer from a fall. This effect was far more pronounced than with other physical activities. Swimming has also been shown to help lower the risk of osteoarthritis and help the elderly to maintain muscle mass. It is also great as a form of relaxation and stress relief.
Tai Chi is another great low impact exercise for older people. It can be performed anywhere and requires no equipment. This Chinese martial art is great for relaxation whilst improving flexibility and balance. Those who regularly perform Tai Chi are less likely to suffer from high blood pressure or loss of physical strength. It has also been shown to lower the chance of falls. Tai Chi can be performed indoors or outside and can be a great way to enjoy your garden. If you would like to learn more www.taichiunion.com is a great resource.
Alternatively, Yoga is a great activity that can be performed either as part of a class or alone in the homes. Yoga has been shown to reduce swelling in joint and help increase mobility and strength. Proponents often point to an increased sense of well being and an improvement in sleep quality. There are also yoga variants designed for those who find movement more difficult, many of which can be practised from the comfort of a chair.
Learning a musical instrument can be very time consuming. If you have ever wanted to learn to play music but been unable to fit it in to a busy life, retirement offers a great opportunity to do so. Whilst it can seem daunting, there are tangible benefits to making the effort. Playing an instrument is a great way to stay mentally and physically active and to challenge yourself in the protest. Making music has been shown to have a positive effect on mood and with some instruments helps promote flexibility and strength in the hands.
Playing various different kinds of games can provide fantastic physical, mental and social stimulation. If you are looking for a way to challenge yourself whilst having fun at the same time. Traditional card games and board games can be a great way to meet people locally, with groups meeting to play games like chess or bridge all over the country. Board games have a relatively dry reputation, but the industry has been undergoing something of a renaissance, with huge numbers of new and innovative games available. Many cities now have specialised shops or cafes where games are available. There has also been a rise in the so called “silver gamer”, with video games aimed specifically at older adults, often designed to help promote retention of cognitive ability.
Quilting, and other craft activities, are great creative outlets that offer an opportunity to learn and master a skill. Quilting is increasingly popular and can be a social activity, with local groups all over the country and a thriving online community. It can also have a therapeutic effect, as research has indicated that creative activities can help people with chronic illnesses manage the mental health impact of their conditions. If you would like to find out more about quilting visit www.quiltersguild.org.uk.
As obvious as it sounds, reading for pleasure remains an enjoyable pass-time that helps keep the mind active. It can become more challenging to enjoy books as you get older, due to issues such as deteriorating eye sight or difficulty handling books. Fortunately, technology has several solutions to help those have these problems. E-Readers can be a great replacement for traditional books. They are light-weight, do not require any dexterity to turn the page and allow you to increase the size of the print to suit your own vision. Alternatively, audiobooks have become increasingly popular in recent years, with most titles now available in this form soon after their print release.
There are many charitable organisations all across the UK who are always looking for volunteers to help them carry out their good works. Contributing your time can be incredibly rewarding and is good way to get out of the house and meet new people. You can select a cause you feel passionate about and offer an amount of time that works for you. Whilst volunteering in high street charity shops is the most visible way of helping out, many organisations have multiple different ways you can contribute and offer your skills and experience.
Whether or not you have ever been involved in performance, theatre can be a great way to remain active and socialise. In recent years there has been a growth in elder troupes and senior theatre in general, although many people choose to work with traditional theatre groups. Groups that are focussed on older adults often forgo memorised scripts, instead using improvisation and innovation to best harness the experience and personality of the performers. If performing is not for you, but you still want to be involved in theatre, there are plenty of other ways you can help stage productions or provide support, just get in contact with your local group to see how you can help.
Remaining physically and mentally active as you get older is very important.
Sedentary lifestyles have a greater negative impact on physical and cognitive ability than biological ageing. Being active helps you stay independent and reduces your risk of falls and other accidents. Fear of falls is one of the leading causes of falling and can make some activities seem risky. If you find yourself put off from performing an activity for this reason, you should consider contacting Helpline to discuss the range of pendent alarms available to provide you peace of mind in the home.
If you are more active the E-Flare is a great option to help protect yourself when you are out and about.

The California Department of Fish and Game is one of the few state agencies with an inherently likable name. Bent fishing rods come to mind. Fishing and hunting permits are tickets to outdoor adventure and family bonding, and a license to literally bring home the bacon.
It’s no surprise then that Gov. Jerry Brown set the fur flying earlier this fall when he signed a bill replacing “Game” with “Wildlife” in the agency’s time-honored name. The California Association for Recreational Fishing, among other sporting groups, say the governor and Legislature threw hunters and anglers under the pickup. They view the name change as a capitulation to urban environmental and animal-rights activists, bent on supplanting the department’s traditional focus on hunting and fishing.
Some environmentalists say the name change, which takes effect Jan. 1, will help the department move away from practices that favor “hook-and-bullet” interests at the expense of non-game species – those not hunted for sport or food.
In truth, the department’s logo makeover is neither victory nor defeat for either side. Rather, it reflects a long-term and ongoing expansion in the department’s stewardship responsibilities for California’s natural resources.
The broadening mission has multiple causes. They range from California’s growing urbanization to increasing complexity and controversy in its ecosystems, advances in environmental science, court environmental rulings, and climate change. For more than 20 years, these and other factors have steadily nudged state fish and game managers toward an “ecosystem” approach that benefits a wider range of species and resource users, from license-paying hunters to birdwatchers.
In addition to issuing licenses and enforcing hunting and fishing regulations, the department rears trout in hatcheries, stocks fish in lakes and streams, fights poaching, manages state preserves and oversees habitat preservation efforts, among other duties. The new law does not change the name of the California Fish and Game Commission, which adopts hunting and sport fishing regulations and sets license fees.
Some department policies are at odds with best science and more holistic stewardship. For example, the use of lead shot – the traditional favorite load for many hunters – is still allowed for some game species such as doves and rabbits, but not other game as it poisons other wildlife. Also, the department’s 80-year-old practice of planting hatchery trout in historically fishless alpine lakes has contributed to the decline of native frogs and other wildlife. Money spent on the expensive aerial drops of fingerlings could instead go toward increasing fishing opportunities in more accessible, lower-altitude lakes and streams.
The legislation that triggers the name change, AB 2402 by Assemblyman Jared Huffman, also strengthens the department’s use of science in developing policies that protect entire ecosystems, instead of individual species.
The department’s involvement in the restoration of the Cosumnes River near Sacramento is a clear and successful example of broad benefits from science-based ecosystem management.
Since 1997, state fish and game officials have collaborated with neighboring landowners to re-establish seasonal floodplain habitat for threatened salmon and other species. The department, the Nature Conservancy and some ranchers stitched together various land parcels to form the Cosumnes River Preserve. The arrangement paved the way for UC Davis researchers to show how ecological restoration can achieve multiple wins for native fish and wildlife, for water management and for agriculture.
The research has shown that opening sections of river levees for seasonal flooding yields multiple benefits: recharging local aquifers for irrigation and drinking water, reducing flood risk to downstream landowners, and providing superb rearing habitat for young salmon.
Most of California’s floodplains have been isolated behind levees, which were built to protect homes and crops from inundation. Before levees were built, winter and spring floods in the Central Valley swept young, ocean-bound salmon onto floodplains, where they found plentiful food, slow water, and few predators. As the floodplains drained, the fish would return to the river, well nourished and fit for their strenuous migration to the Pacific Ocean.
Fish and Game’s involvement in the Cosumnes River research has given its managers, and other resource agencies, practical, science-based tools need to create habitat in floodplains elsewhere in the Central Valley and in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Already, department managers are using the research to support ecosystem restoration efforts in the Yolo Bypass and the San Joaquin River.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Ritual Industry: From a Different Angle Lecture on November 29th at 7pm.
RESOBOX Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of hand-painted nineteenth century Japanese photographs from The Burns Collection & Archive.
The ritual production of silk, rice and tea was integral to Japan’s Meiji Era economy. These photographs depict the manufacture, creation and utilization of these cultural and agricultural commodities. The images in this exhibition showcase the best of Japanese photographs that were created to introduce the basic industries of Japan to the West. The photographs were exported to international fairs and expositions, and it was through these photographs that the world was exposed to Japan. The Meiji Era production and process of silk, rice and tea are illustriously illustrated in these beautifully hand-painted nineteenth century photographs.
The Burns Collection was established in 1975 by Stanley B. Burns, MD, FACS, a New York City ophthalmologist and photo-historian. The Collection focuses on unique images not available elsewhere, and has been generally recognized as the most important private comprehensive collection of early photography. The Burns Archive, with over a million historic photographs, is best known for images of the darker side of life – death, disease, crime, racism, revolution and war – however, a large part of the collection depicts aspects of social and cultural life.
A favorite and compelling part of the Collection are nineteenth-century Japanese hand-painted photographs. Working together, Dr. Burns and his daughter Elizabeth, wrote Geisha: A Photographic History 1872-1912. It explores the life and culture of Geisha during the Meiji Era with a comprehensive history of photography in Japan. They have also produced several exhibitions. They have been especially pleased to present at the Resobox Gallery in 2012 Geisha: The Golden Years 1870-1890, in 2013 Working Life in Meiji Japan and in 2014 Japan – An Island Nation: 1870-1890.
Exhibition is free admission. Feel free to visit us.

Bryan Cereijo, an undergraduate student at Syracuse University, won the Bob Baxter Scholarship.
This past year has been very fulfilling in terms of accomplishing various goals. I began the year focusing on creating a body of work around a boxing gym in Syracuse, NY. This body of work included a documentary story, portraits, and feature photos. Most importantly, I connected with a part of the Syracuse community that I will always cherish. The images that were produced obtained various recognitions in different contests: first place as multimedia story of the year in the photo slideshow category and third place in the photo package category at the Associated Collegiate Press Awards. The story also earned fourth place in the national Hearst competition and it also recently won Award of Excellence at the College Photographer of the Year competition. A sports feature frame from this set of images also obtained bronze in CPOY. Though receiving these prestigious awards was nice, I believe that none of us go into this field to win awards. For me, it was more about learning how to complete a longer documentary piece while connecting to people and gaining their trust to document their lives.
This summer also marked year two of documenting Race Across America for 3000 Miles to a Cure. I spent seven days driving from Oceanside, California to Annapolis, Maryland to document a 4-person team that was pedaling 3000 miles to raise money for brain cancer research. This year was much more challenging because the videographer and myself had to drive, shoot, and edit all while trying to keep up with the team that did not stop. However, the reward made it all worth it – our videos and images raised another $50,000 for brain cancer research. It is completing stories like these that demonstrate the importance of our ability as visual storytellers to create change.
Lastly, this past summer I completed an internship with The Miami Herald. It was an amazing experience where I learned first-hand what it takes to make it in this field. From shooting a portrait of a CEO to shooting various sports games to documenting breaking news, daily assignment work taught me so much more about photojournalism and I am grateful for the experience. I can now say that I know how to work on deadline (never having missed one during my time at The Herald), I can write solid captions, and I have a good sense of what working at a newspaper entails. I’m very appreciative for all these experiences this past year and proud of these accomplishments.
As I get ready to graduate, I am opening as many doors as possible. I am currently applying to graduate school where I would like continue my development as a visual storyteller, this time focusing on video. By completing my master’s degree, I hope to obtain a new set of tools that will help me become a well-rounded journalist. After this, I hope to use all the skills that I have obtained through my education and combine them with my passion for cultural and documentary sports stories in the regions that I feel most connected to and the regions I have studied in South America and the Caribbean. I hope to work for organizations that will offer me the opportunities to work on these stories that I deeply care about.

It is often said that it’s about the journey and not the destination. Boxing is an art form. It’s as mental as it is physical. It requires attention to detail, it requires patience, it requires discipline, and it requires a lot of dedication. The Rays Kids boxing program at the West Athletic Center in Syracuse teaches this philosophy to young kids and trains them to become champions not only inside the ring but also in life. Since he was 8, Raimier “Lungz” Walker has been going to the West Athletic Center to learn and practice boxing. Now 12, Lungz has risen to the top echelon of youth boxing and is currently ranked as the second best boxer in the country for his age in the 75-pound weight class. He has a rigorous training schedule that has helped him reach the pinnacle of youth boxing as well as a support system in his gym and his family. Lungz trains at the gym for about two hours a day, six days a week, and continues with an extra two hours of training with his dad at home most days. This dedication has resulted in numerous local wins and a Junior Olympics title. Every year USA Boxing hosts a 15-and-under boxing tournament dubbed Silver Gloves. There, the best boxers from eight different regions in the United States fight in single elimination bouts until a champion per age group and weight class is crowned. Last year in Independence, Mo., Lungz made it to the championship match but wasn’t able to bring the belt home. This year, the return to Independence seemed as if things would be different. After breezing through his first two fights, Lungz was set for a rematch in the championship bout against the young boxer who beat him last year. It was the moment Lungz had been waiting for all year. It was what he had trained for. He knew it would be a tough fight. And he wouldn’t want it any other way.

Bistronomic is Chef Martial Noguier's foray into bistronomy. The One Sixtyblue and Pump Room alum whips up flavorful fare at reasonable rates in a stylish setting.
French food is notoriously vegetarian unfriendly. Bistronomic's menu does not have a ton of options for vegetarians. However, the kitchen was more than accommodating when given advance notice of dietary restrictions.
The menu is tailor made for turophiles with cheese flights and warm cheese plates. The flights are split into local (less than 300 miles away from Wisconsin and Indiana dairies) and more-than-300-mile selections.
Diners order small, medium and large plates, an experience that is akin to a tapas bistro. Sharing orders allows you to try a variety of different dishes.
Bistronomic features a grilled cheese sandwich du jour. The Bohemian Blue grilled cheese was made with a Roquefort-style sheep milk blue cheese from Wisconsin, a brighly sharp yet refreshingly clean blue cheese with an intensely rich finish that lingered on the palate. It was not a traditional grilled cheese, but it was truly an elevated take on a humble classic.
The kitchen was also able to prepare a vegetarian version of the parmesan tarragon gnocchi. The pillowy pasta picked up the fresh flavor of the green herbs and the delicate umami of the cheese.
The truffle soup was a revelation of nuanced flavor. It builds mushroom aromas from a creamy base. The flavor never stops. This would be delightful in cold weather (hint hint).
Desserts are also fantastic at Bistronomic. The chocolate and hazelnut mousse candy bars were crispy yet melted in your mouth. It is like a Nutella candy bar with a crispy praline layer served in a subtle orange sauce.
The wine list is heavy on selections from the classic French appellations with some cool options by-the-glass. Service is capable and attentive without being intrusive.
Even though the menu is light on vegetarian options, the talent on display at the restaurant is an excellent experience for vegetarian diners. Noguier is a talent producing great food at a fair price, a hallmark of bistronomy that shines through at his aptly named Bistronomic.

Google AdWords Rejects Legitimate Company for Trademark Violations, But Why?
Home > Google News > Google AdWords > Google AdWords Rejects Legitimate Company for Trademark Violations, But Why?
A WebmasterWorld member complains that his company, which has been in use for over 10 years, is not able to make its own Google AdWords ads because part of the name is a trademark violation. Is it worth pursuing further or is this individual out of luck?
Most forum members may have tried to beat the system and have had no success. According to many, because someone else got their first, it's not arguable. In fact, "similar rules apply in most areas of commercial activity."
But again, this is a 10+ year old business. And the name is a pretty common name. One forum member says that the trademark can be newer than 10 years old, and it may still be debated -- if it's worth the hassle.
On the other hand, if you want to try something else, you can see about getting approval from the trademark owner.
What would you do? Would you let it go without a fight?

Fall and winter are busy seasons for publishers who are hoping for bigger sales of new books during the holidays.
David Baldacci, a well-known author of thrillers, visited the Capital Region this week.
We caught up with him at a book signing at the book house in Stuyvesant Plaza.
His new book Long Road to Mercy introduces a new FBI agent named Atlee Pine who must solve a crime in the Grand Canyon.
Baldacci told NewsChannel 13 why he loves to support independent book sellers.
"I haven't been to Albany before in book tour,” he said. “I love to see more independent book shops. The book tour this year is pretty much comprised only of independent, they're kind of the lifeblood of this industry so it's nice to give back."
Baldacci also says the biggest growth area in publishing now is in audio books. People can listen in the car or on-the-go on many devices.

Take a look below at the various Gen5 packages HughesNet offers and then call to speak to a Satellite Internet Specialist for a recomendation on the perfect plan for you based on your usage and needs.
Sateliite Internet technology has been been rapidly maturing over the last several years. While Satellite Internet used to be a last resort option for folks that were in rural areas, it is now the preffered choice in areas without cable availability. With download speeds starting at 25Mbps, HughesNet's Gen5 plans can be as much as 25 times faster than DSL and Dial-Up Internet Options.
The cutting edge EchoStar XIX Satellite by HughesNet was launched to bring even faster Internet speeds with their HughesNet Gen5 satellite Internet service. The Choice, Prime, Prime Plus, Pro, Pro Plus, Max, and Ultra plans have all been replaced by a simpler breakdown of packages. These new Gen5 plans are based on the data provided in each plan, but do not vary in speed. All of the plans have the same fast download and upload speeds, which start at 25Mbps Download and 3Mbps Upload. There is no need to check your coverage, as these plans are available everywhere nationwide. The only requirement is a clear view of the southern sky and the ability or permission to mount a satellite dish at your location of service. Call us to speak to specialist that will help you determine your best option for Internet service in your area.
Customers with these new plans who have passed their monthly priority data allowance can still use their internet service without penalty or overage. The speeds of your service will be reduced down to download speeds below 1Mpbs after you have passed your priority data threshold, but you can purchase additional data tokens in the following increments: 3/GB - $9, 5/GB - $15, 10/GB - $30, 25/GB - $75.
Visit legal.HughesNet.com for complete details.
The Connect and Connect Pro plans offered high speed Internet service to rural areas where most people could only get dial-up or standard DSL. These plans offered download speeds of up to 5 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 1 Mbps rural Internet users get to experience broadband Internet no matter where they live! These plans have now been replaced by HughesNet's new Gen5 plans, so be sure to view the updated plans and pricing.
Customers with SmartBrowsing-enabled plans who have surpassed their monthly Anytime allowance can still send and receive email and browse the Internet. It is important to note, however, that uploading or downloading large files, including video and audio ebmedded in web pages or attachments to emails, will reduce speeds. Visit legal.HughesNet.com for complete details.
The satellite equipment you receive with your HughesNet Gen5 service includes a satellite Dish and modem. Your HughesNet service is wireless ready which means you can have wireless Internet in your home without any additional equipment. Following is a breakdown in installation and equipment fees.
Equipment Note: 24 months limited equipment warranty includes 6 months free trip charge if Hughes Technical Support determines a onsite service call is required. From six months to the end of the 24 month warranty period, Hughes will cover the cost of the replacement equipment, but the cost of the onsite service technician visit, if necessary, will be paid by the customer.

This product is a Frame that goes on outdoor billboards to replace wooden and metal panels . It is designed to have a vinyl (advertisement) wrapped around it, then when High winds hit the billboard it will blow out the vinyl leaving your billboard without any damage. This cuts down on the liability of the wood and metal panels falling on property below causing damage and injury. This frame is patented (#7,481,013) and is a proven product with over a 1,000 of them in use in many coastal states. It is good for 155MPH @ 80ft, much higher than any other frame made. This patent has 51 claims and has been tested in Houston, Texas where there was over 200 frames in use during Hurricane IKE (115 MPH winds) with not one loss. This frame is fully galv. (inside and out). This product is engineered with stamp for 155 MPH (wind speed). The frames have been up for over 6 yrs. without one failure or complaint. With this frame there is also a tie-down system which makes it possible to attach the vinyl without the use of Ratchet Straps (98% of all billboards use these straps).
The price of the patent is negotiable depending on the situation and royalty involved. I will also help your sell the product. Trying to get ready to retire.
Our company would like to have at least 50% down and the remainder to be paid out in 2 yrs. Interest and royalties would be paid during this time.
There are over a 1,000 of these frames up without any go backs in the past 8 yrs. Only a small % of the US market has been touched and it has very good possibilities in the near future. The interior of the US has hardly been touch.

Philly has great trails around the city, but the areas where the trails and car infrastructure meet, cross, or mix are often problematic. We provide some infrastructure for bikes, but that infrastructure disappears completely when we come to intersections.
I recently read Kidicalmass organizer and Philly Pedals author Dena Driscoll’s blog post, Last Half Mile Home. Dena lives in a big bikey area. She lives between the Schuylkill River Trail, the trails of the Wissahickon Valley, and nearby Manayunk Towpath, all sections that draw many cyclists. This same area is also has a regional rail station and bus transfer station. Heavy traffic also comes to the area from I-76, City Line Avenue, and Kelly Drive. Rail commuters, heavy buses, pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers come together in a congested space where cars move fast, hills are steep, sidewalks are narrow, and there is no designated bike lane.
Image via Google Maps Traffic conditions: drivers are moving fast. Also note, the dark green line indicating the trail looks like it has a separate bridge crossing. In reality it is a narrow sidewalk along a bridge. Ah, Google Maps, you are a prankster!
One of the few signs for cyclists. Dena had to drag a cargo bike through the snow to cross to the other side to reach Ridge Avenue this winter. Photo credit: Dena Driscoll.
I talked to Dena about what she has experienced and observed and then I took a ride up there to get a feel for the intersection. She said (and I would agree), The confusion is high! On the first nice days it gets confusing. I have had run-ins with other bikers biking wrong way in the street trying to figure out how to get to the towpath.
I asked Dena how she learned how to navigate the trail end. She said, I learned how to do it by watching other bikers and going with what feels safe. I know from stroller usage that the westbound sidewalk is too narrow for that, let alone bike. I know cars will run the light and I need to wait longer to cross. It’s even worse with the bad weather. They don’t clear the trail at the end. No curb cuts are cleared. The empty buildings don’t shovel walks. It’s batty.
I don’t know if the area can be made better for bikes. There is not much room to create a specific place for bikes in the road. The trail has to be completed and linked to avoid this whole mess. Plans have been in the works, for some time, to link the trail and bypass this intersection, but there is no wayfinding or temporary measures to help cyclists safely navigate this area until the trail is linked.
Bike riders use this area not because they want to but because they have to. The trail is like a highway for bikes; it is the least hilly and easiest access between suburban Philadelphia and Center City. There are some trails on the west side of the river, but they are not as direct and have more hills. Besides the trails being an access point between the city and surrounding community they are great for recreational cycling and link to fun locations and historic sites, like Valley Forge.
For people like Dena who live near the trail and use it to get in and out of the city, linking the trails might lengthen her route but provide a safer and less congested place to access the street network. For those who want to enjoy the trails there needs to be a safe way to get to them.

The music video dropped at exactly 6PM KST – with iKONICS feeling nervousness and excitement gushing through their veins. They have been waiting for this exact moment. Holding their breaths, iKONICS waited for the YouTube notification and once it was out, the music video opened automatically.
The rhythm and melody is very catchy – without reading any translation one can instantly think of cute and adorable lyrics but do not be fooled. LOVE SCENARIO was about a beautiful love story between lovers, a love that’s been mutual, a love that grew, and a love that ended like a theater play.
In the music video, glimpse of romance scenes and breakup scenes can be seen. It was a lovely song with warm lyrics that reminds you of the love that was and still is important to you. You’ll remember someone that left flowers in your heart – symbolizing the love but making it painful and hard to breathe.
Don’t forget to check the LOVE SCENARIO MV on YouTube and click CC for English subtitles (as they are now available) to enhance your viewing pleasure.

A mere 15 months ago I was potty training Jack. It was the worst month of my life. 2 and 1/2 years old is young for a boy to start potty training but because he was scheduled to start nursery school we had to do it then. To make things more complicated Logan was 15 months old and couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about. He would frequently hang on me while I tried to peel Jack's wet clothes off of him or, worse yet, Logan would walk through Jack's pee puddles. Then I'd have 2 kids to clean up!
So you can imagine how excited I was when I realized that I would need to start potty training Logan after the holidays (as he is scheduled to start school in January). Logan is much less interested in potty training than Jack was. And he could care less if he's soaking wet. So far we are not doing well.
Thanks for blogging by; it is always nice to meet new people. You have 2 very cute boys! I, too, am a mama of 2 boys, 8 & 7 yrs repectively! I love your take on life and I had fun reading about your fam! Good luck with the whole potty training thing...looks like you are good and prepared! My oldest was a snap, not so much for the younger one! Let us know how it works for you!
OMG.I didnt have a deadline as our preschool doesn't require it....so I never experienced this but it looks like you are well prepared for what lays ahead!

Arista Networks this week unveiled a fixed configuration top-of-rack switch with 100G Ethernet uplinks for congestion-sensitive big data, streaming video and IP storage workloads.
Arista also rolled out extensions to its EOS operating system software, and optical transceivers that allow users to deploy 40G Ethernet over single or multimode fiber.
The new switch is the 7280E. In addition to 2x100G uplinks, it features 48 10G ports and 9GB of packet memory to alleviate congestion and dropped packets, and increase application performance by 7x.
With that much memory, the 7280E has 1000x more buffer memory than other leaf switches on the market, which typically have 9MB buffers, Arista says.
The 7280E also supports 36,000 ACL entries and VXLAN for scaling VLANs beyond 4,096. The 100G uplinks, meanwhile, scale better than 40G uplinks which were saturated by just four 10G flows, Arista says. With that particular feature, Arista beats most of its competitors to market with 100G uplinks on leaf switches most are equipped with 40G uplinks.
The enhancements to EOS include Smart System Upgrade, which allows enterprises to perform hitless software upgrades across Arista switches with zero downtime. Previously, Arista required 30 seconds of downtime to upgrade its EOS software while competitive switches typically require two hours, according to Arista.
Other EOS enhancements include Tap Aggregation Manager, Deep Packet Inspection and traffic steering that allows network operators to select the flows that need monitoring. EOS also now supports OpenFlow 1.3 on Arista's 7500E spine switches, which enables users to deploy them in 100G OpenFlow SDNs like that operated by the Internet2 research network.
The Arista 7280E switches are in customer trials now with general availability in August 2014. They cost $550 per 10G port.
The Universal 40G transceiver is orderable now.
The Smart System Upgrade feature for EOS 7050X is available in beta releases now on Arista's 7050X leaf switches and will be generally available by late 2014.

In its widest sense, the term ‘‘accreditation’’ refers to the act of giving an individual or an organisation formal recognition of some sort or another. In the South African education and training context, accreditation is essentially a stamp of approval, indicating that the accrediting body (e.g. the relevant SETA) is satisfied that the accredited organisation (e.g. the provider) meets their requirements and can offer quality learning programmes against national standards registered on the NQF.
SETA ETQAs are there to ensure that education and training providers applying for accreditation meet the required standards of quality in providing education and training to learners, and where providers meet these standards to recognise this by accrediting the provider.
The accreditation process is directed at assuring learners and other users of the system that any learner who has achieved a credit, credits or a qualification through that provider programme or assessment, has demonstrated the required learning outcomes in the required manner.

JLT Cold Air Intake 2018 Jeep TrackHawk - JLT Performance Inc.
This kit includes an ABS heat shield that has a opening in the front to grab fresh air from the grille/headlight area and also seals to the hood.
With a mouth of 4.5" at the throttle body end, it is ready for any larger throttle bodies that may come in the future.
Includes our large ABS plastic heat shield to block engine heat at idle and low speed.
30-35 RWHP & 20-25 RWTQ are typical with this kit.
I purchased this intake based on the performance gains showed on the dyno. What I didn’t expect, is that it woke up my Trackhawk like you wouldn’t believe. Increased throttle response. 25 hp increase shown on the onboard dyno (however accurate that is). But the sound in track mode will have you smiling ear to ear. Catch can going in on Monday. Great fit, great performance, great purchase.
Always have a great experience with Jay and his crew @JLT Performance. I have never been let down with any of their products. 100% pleased with their performance parts, engine dress up capabilities, and customer service!

One of my first tasks as marketing ambassador for the Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School was to search out some great student stories from our current student body. I decided to bring you Mr. Sam Scanlan in the form of an interview for my first. Not only has he travelled to India to undertake one of his industry placements but he will graduate with a term spent in Switzerland as part of the BMIHMS Study Abroad program.
Do you feel like these opportunities allowed you to grow professionally in the industry?
Yes definitely, I was given the opportunity to explore the world – seeing new cultures and discovering a different service styles outside of Australia. Luxury service originated in Switzerland the region of many renowned hotel schools where I was fortunate to study.
Hospitality is all about travelling the world and gaining valuable experience and knowledge , I have started my career with opportunities in Australia, Europe and Asia.
I can showcase what I’ve learnt t to my future employers and I believe a competitive advantage.
Tell me about your experience industry placement in India?
India was an experience that I never will forget – being able to work in a country that is totally out of my comfort zone.
Learning their culture was a huge challenge – being able to gain acceptance from not only staff but also the society was a huge task.
In hindsight I am pleased to have been given the opportunity to experience Indian hospitality. Not many people do it – I wanted to do something else instead of Dubai or London – seeing something new and challenging was what I wanted.
What were some of the standout things about your Swiss education?
Les Roches Food and Beverage – the culinary kitchen works on a huge scale with distinct sections for the students to complete practical with a huge variety of outlets and dishes prepared each day.
Les Roches Social Life – being a ‘family’ (where everyone seemed to know everyone) university there was a lot of social events that the Events Coordinators planned from rugby, basketball and cricket teams to compete against each other and other nearby schools to meet other people and remain fit.
Les Roches Career Development team in Switzerland provided me with endless contacts for internships. They had great expos. During the semester at least 25 hotel companies from around the world to do ‘on campus interviews’ to recruit for the intake period.
Have you any advice for students wanting to study abroad.
Research the university that they are going to. If it is a renowned global school that has a reputation for success it is a good option. I chose Les Roches for its history and global reputation.
Take a really friend. Having someone by your side if things aren’t going well especially at the start helps a lot.
It’s a once in a lifetime experience being able to study abroad – don’t ignore the opportunity.

There's a bathroom I visit regulary.
Recently new people moved in. Two men, and six women. So with me, there are only three people who visit the male toilet.
Since they moved in, the cold tap has required particular force to turn it on, due to the vigor with which it has been turned off.
This is no leaky tap. A gentle turning completed with fingertip touch staunches all flow.
Besides my obvious concern that the washer will be worn out sooner rather than later - do you think that this person is consciously providing a daily masculinity test for the other males in our building?
Should I place the sign I have prepared 'Tap turning does not need to be a test of masculinity' above the tap?
Or is this over-firm closure just a habit borne of their experience of poorly performing washers elsewhere?

Very few phone leaks are accidents, and a spate of teasers of HTC’s next flagship suggest a launch next month.
The HTC M10 reportedly has a 5.1 inch QHD display and a revised camera. Its looks borrow from the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy families, with a front mounted fingerprint sensor, with availability from May.
The troubled Taiwanese OEM kept the flagship under wraps at Mobile World Congress last month, while Samsung and LG stole the headlines. 2014’s flagship, the HTC One M8 was popular with reviewers and sold well. But the M8 looks like a blip in a long term trend of decline. Its successor, the M9, failed to repeat either trick.
HTC certainly needs a hit.
Unaudited results for February show that combined revenue for January and February 2016 was NT$10.68bn, less than half that of a year ago.
In Q4, HTC recorded a loss of NT$4.1bn on revenue of NT$25.7bn, with a negative operating margin of -16.1 per cent.
Nevertheless, its share price rose based on strong pre-orders for its HTC Vive VR headset. The company said 15,000 were sold in ten minutes, at $799 a pop.

Students thinking of leaving the wallet at home to utilize the newest technology known as the mobile wallet should think twice before making the switch. The convenience of using a smartphone as a transaction platform might not be worth the risks to one’s privacy.
With apps like Google Wallet, Square Wallet and the newly released Isis, paying with a smartphone has become effortless. All consumers have to do is find the mobile wallet app they want, upload their credit or debit card information, and start shopping.
Square Wallet alone is accepted at more than 20 businesses in the Ogden area. Kaffe Mercantile, located on 26th Street, offers its customers the opportunity to order and pay all from their smartphones.
Lori Layton, a mother from Ogden, had her daughter set up Square Wallet on her new phone.
Privacyrights.org states that smartphone users can assume that anything they do on their smartphones, along with any information stored, is at risk of being seen or stolen if proper precautions are not taken.
Using a public Wi-Fi network can give hackers the chance to view the information being transmitted by a smartphone. Privacyrights.org reminds consumers to use Wi-Fi networks with caution.
Eccles explained one of the several techniques hackers can use to access information.
Earlier this year, Utah hosted the SAINT Conference to provide information to the community about security. A demonstration at the conference showed how a hacker at a public place with Bluetooth locator on his or her laptop could pull information from people’s phones as they walked by.
“Virtually any public place is a prime spot for these kinds of thieves,” Eccles said.

At the UN climate conference in Poland this week, concerns have been raised that the current economic woes may pose a roadblock to taking the carbon out of our energy sources and investing in greener energy production. However, the real question may be how to avoid short-sighted investments in dirty power plants that have to be replaced as the effects of climate change worsen. It’s a question Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. took up Monday evening, speaking at a Lexus Hybrid Living "eco-salon" and fund-raiser for Waterkeeper, where he argued that carbon is the principal drag on the U.S. economy, with $700 billion of US spending going to foreign oil annually, not to mention $1.3 trillion annually in subsidies to the oil industry. If we open up the field of energy production to other sources, he notes, we may spur the same sort of boom in innovative thinking that resulted in the England’s industrial revolution following the ban on slavery and the cheap energy it provided.
These innovations might well include the opportunity for homeowners to sell energy back to utilities at market rates, something currently not allowed in any state. To do so, we’ll need a "smart" electricity grid, the unglamorous backbone that must be built if we’re to make wind and solar our major energy sources. A smart grid would not only make possible the expansion of wind and solar power throughout the states, but would also store that energy for later use. As the Department of Energy points out, if the grid were just 5 percent more efficient, that would have the same impact on global warming as taking 53 million cars off the road. Now that would be good news this week in Poland.

Are Gardeners Born or Made?
WE have one friend, living a few avenues away, who classifies himself, with scrupulous insistence, as "an enemy of the earth." He means that he is not a gardener and is not likely to become one. He has better things to do on a Sunday afternoon - and that's probably the only time he might even contemplate gardening.
Only dire necessity impinges on our friend's disinterest, and about once every 12 months he makes sudden and radical war with clippers and spade. It's heroic stuff: giant clumps of perennial this-and-that get heaved into new corners. Other accumulations are generally hacked and chopped. This is a pioneer's pruning and taming of rarely explored territory. Afterward, he is proud to show what he has done. And it is an achievement of sorts - a temporary victory of brute force over habitual reluctance. Then h e happily settles back into habitual reluctance, no fonder of gardens than he ever was.
We have immediate neighbors who are not gardeners either, but they are not gardeners in a different way. Their form of not-gardening is of the "friend of the Earth" variety: In other words, if the earth that happens to be around their house walls chooses to sport a flurry of dandelions, a hoard of nettles, or a groundswell of groundsel - things that a regular gardener would look upon with withering disfavor - then that's OK by them. It's all nature, after all.
The effect is not precisely what some garden professionals are now advocating as the "wild look" - that look has to be carefully contrived. This lovingly neglected garden doesn't just look wild, it is wild. Thoroughly so. And although the wifely half of this friendly couple can occasionally be discovered prying out of the driveway five or six of the dandelions that she feels have finally gone a little over the top in their profligate ambition to carpet the universe, on the whole she likes things the way they are, and is much happier studying ancient Icelandic literature in her library.
These neighbors have a neighbor who is a gardening enthusiast. They are perfectly forgiving about his freakish behavior - it's a free world, each to his tastes, is their attitude. If their neighbor is peculiar enough to weed and mow, manure and plant, then who are they to judge? Not that they actually notice. They walk past the results of all this garden buff-ery without a glance.
This gardening neighbor of theirs - whom I happen to know quite well - tells me he doesn't mind. After all he is not gardening for them. On the other hand, he does find it hard to understand how anyone can be indifferent to something from which he derives such compelling, gigantic joy.
Are gardeners born? He can't remember when he didn't love plants and their cooperative gathering in communities called gardens. But he does remember some of the occasions that intensified this affection.
One of the earliest, at his home in the north of England, was the triangular summer garden his mother planted for him at the foot of the narrow path descending steeply from the steps down from the back yard. She had contrived to gather into this one small, overlooked corner every kind of annual flower that might appeal to a child. "I only remember it," he says now, "at the absolute peak of its flowering - a miniature wonder-world packed to its gills with flowers."
"I remember," he goes on, "small paths weaving through all these flowers, and I suppose because I was shorter then than I have been since, I was very close to those flowers. I have never forgotten the intensity of that garden - mine without the slightest effort on my part, a gift ... a gift for life because the idea, or ideal, of a garden has inspired me in one way or another ever since. ... [A] child is sometimes closer to flowers than an adult, and in other ways than inches. It's as if he sees them in a kind of dawn - their brightness for the very first time, poignantly, thirstily, their endless array of different shapes, colors, their buds and roots, and their amazingly varied ways of relating flowers to stems and leaves.
"Even today I can still see many of the plants in that garden, some with wonderful names like 'love-lies-bleeding' (with dangling red lamb's tails) and 'love-in-the-mist'; snapdragons (you can make them open and shut their mouths if you press them just right); marigolds with their pungent smell and seeds like fingernail parings; sweet williams, hollyhocks, and delphiniums. There were orange and yellow nasturtiums, of course, with their juicy round leaves that smell like sour mustard when you break them, and their large seeds - perfect children's seeds.
"And then," he continues, "I remember coming home from the shops on the top deck of the bus from Bradford with an 'Amateur Gardening' Handbook on Rock Gardening, by G.K. Mooney... I read it all the way.... That was when the dreaming began. Mr. Mooney inspired in me enormous ambitions to grow 'alpine' plants - though these included things like yellow alyssum and aubretia - tumbling cushions of fresh yellow and strong purple - which probably were never near an Alp in their lives. Gentians and soldanella an d alpine pinks followed, and when we moved south to Surrey, it was gardening in among rocks that preoccupied me. And by then I was proof against all discouragement.
"The portentous father of a friend of mine, an ex-Army man who had since retirement organized important Parks Department gardens, when he heard me voice my fascination for alpine and rockery gardening, observed: 'Ha! Rock Gardening! No point in that. All those rocks are just an encouragement to weeds and slugs.' It was spoken in a manner that brooked no disagreement. But there was that in me which disagreed so up-wellingly that I went silent and had no future interest in this man or his opinions thencefo rth!
`THERE have been a remarkable number of encouragements and incentives along the way - unexpected gifts of plants, visits to other people's gardens, the imparting of skills and know-how. Among the last I set great store by what my Dad's head market-gardener (because my Dad gardened for profit as well as pleasure), Walter Ducker, showed me once. He cut short lengths off the box bush at the back of the house, expertly stripped off most of their lower leaves, cut the stems sharply at an angle just below the nodes, dipped them in 'Seradix B' (rooting powder), and inserted them in a pot full of sandy compost, watered well. It seemed months (it probably was) later when he turned the pot over, tapped it smartly against the bench, and out came a solid pot-molded sandcastle - threaded with roots. Cuttings! That little trick opened a new world of possibilities I still find just as fascinating as sowing seeds and waiting for them to germinate. "Of course, the strongest incentive of all remains how other much more expe rt horticultural wizards produce the most remarkable results, growing plants that I have never succeeded with, or plants I've never seen before. Saw some alpines grown in pots last Saturday which made your mouth water - rare, exquisite, pristine specimens of plants from obscure mountain passes lost in remote regions, flowering here in the Scottish Rock Garden Show with a willingness that might even better their success in their native habitats: At least these were untouched by weather and mountain sheep, co ddled and coaxed as they had been under glass by gardeners utterly devoured by their chosen art form! 'I could steal that plant,' remarked one shameless visitor of an unusual daphne with a supreme scent.
"And one other thing," our neighbor's neighbor chuckles, "that I especially liked: There was this old farmer in Yorkshire when I lived there in the 1970s. He had remarried late, and his wife fancied a garden. Frank was 'henpecked and I loov it,' he used to say, so of course he made his wife a quite outstanding small garden. Two lanes at right angles sided this small garden. It was quite a surprise out there when you drove by. Farmer's gardens were never like this.
"The other man grinned but said nothing for a while. Frank went on digging. Then, as he was about to go, the wall-leaner said, in broadest, emphatic Yorkshire: 'Tha knows, it aren't joost thee it suits - tha knows!' And off he went.
"Well," said my neighbor's neighbor, "that tickled Frank greatly. And it's stuck with me as well. No one just gardens to suit themselves, you know. That's why I long ago removed the hedge by the road here. Flowers are free for anyone to look at. Why would I want to hide them away? I wouldn't mind a bit if I caught someone staring over my wall...."

Got a laptop with an issue, we've lost 5 working days trying to speak to support, to get authorisation, to return it.
I have an authorised DOA form with a reference number, I have spoken to another department who have given me a valid claim number and was told it would be collected.
The laptop has not been collected and I've tried different live chats, different phone numbers, can't get help.
So, reaching out to you here because I'm banging my head against the desk trying to go through the system.
Curious - In the past when I dealt with HP Support they were pretty on the ball with getting it handled.
How was this laptop purchased? Was it through a Retail Outlet, VAR or direct from HP?
I only have praise for HP support. Last year my daughters ex boyfriend who thought he was the gods gift to IT decided to take apart my daughters 9 month old laptop.
He got it apart OK but couldn't get it back again and then convinced my daughter not to tell me about it. By the time I did they had split up. I phoned HP and explained what happened, they took the laptop back completely rebuilt it for me and only charged me for a replacement motherboard.
I can't thank them enough for what they did, they could have told me to take a running jump but instead they help me out. Arranged the collection and delivery and returned the unit back to me with 10 days.
HP will blame the courier, the courier will blame HP. I've a faulty HDD which has undergone, 9 failed collection attempts. I send a picture of it boxed to my Dell rep every other week .. "still here"
contact PRISCILLA@HP here on SpiceWorks. She has helped me out several times in the past when I've had issues with support.
Hello Breffni Potter- Looks like you're located in the UK... is that correct?
I'm going to try and get you some assistance from my support team. I will be in touch!
Yes :) - Against my better judgement, for a single laptop, I bought direct. DOH!
Yep UK based, thank you for that.
@Kev840, thank you very much for the compliment. Yes, I certainly would have been able to assist @Breffni Potter with his HP return, but he is in the UK and Megan will now get the issue resolved.
So the courier turned up to collect the laptop.
He waited...1 minute, declared it a failed collection, drove away.
Finally received an email from HP, we're now at 7 working days of having this issue since contacting HP support initially.
I've had some experiences recently with HP support that makes me think some things have changed recently.
Usually has to do with them shipping replacement parts without return labels for the old parts... I used to call support to get a return label sent but now I just throw them on a shelf and wait till HP calls me to ask why I haven't returned them yet.
Breffni Potter - I received some additional information. The case owner was unsuccessful in trying to reach you and I will PM you the case owner contact information. Thank you for your patience!
The case owner sent the email instructing me to email global support, or to phone the global support helpline again, at 17:51 Friday night, Specific details provided via PM to you.
I've received another email saying "We tried to contact by phone, this email confirms we tried to do so, please phone the support number or email us at global support again." - The email is identical to the one received on Friday.
Tried of playing department ping pong, passed between 2 departments over the phone.
Copy of an email sent just now.
I have tried to call in 3 times in a row just now.
The first time, I spoke to a rep, gave him the case number, I was being transferred and the call was disconnected.
I have called back 2 more times since then, both times being disconnected.
Please can this case be handled by email as we don't have the time to spend via a phone system which appears to be faulty.
Spoke to someone else at HP.
Straight up return & refund now. Ordering a machine from somewhere else.
Email received from HP support.
I apparently have 2 days to call them and speak to him, else the case will be closed.
Oh and I received a customer satisfaction survey.
Laptop is finally gone. New one delivered from a reseller.
Will never buy direct from HP again after this.
Breffni - My apologies for not being able to do more to help you out here. I'm glad to hear that the laptop was finally retrieved from you. I've passed this thread and your feedback along to my team. Thank you for your patience through all of this.
Still not heard anything from HP support, the last time I spoke to them, they confirmed that all of my emails have been received but they failed to reply to them.

We are currently open for submissions for our THEMED November 5th 2017 event. Submissions close on September 23rd at 23.59.
The theme this time is 'All You Need Is Love. Or Is It?'. This is to reflect the Stroud Short Stories wedding this autumn.
Think of the theme as widely and flexibly as possible. Not only romantic love but stories of obsession and relationships of all kinds are welcome. And not necessarily just relationships between people. Other obsessions too. The style can be straight or funny, cynical, ironic or dark.
The 5 November event will be our 15th, and is part of the Stroud Book Festival. It will take place as usual at the SVA in John Street, Stroud, GL2 5HA at 8pm (doors 7.30). Because we sell out, tickets will only be available in advance from the SVA website.
The ten authors, who read to a packed 70-strong audience at our event on 5 November, will also be offered publication of their stories in our next anthology due 2018.
Submissions close at the end of Saturday 23 September. Please note that the window for submissions is shorter than usual, and the waiting time until the event far longer. My apologies for this. It is because of the wedding.
Remember that it's free to submit. And that we are happy to consider published or unpublished work.
I am delighted to say that short story author, novelist, self-publishing guru and Hawkesbury Upton LitFest organiser Debbie Young will be judging with me this time. More info about the judges here.
Please send us your stories. Debbie and I can't wait to read them.
