Introduced by Diarmaid MacCulloch
The life of Thomas More was one marked by political intrigue, religious unrest and a great shifting of ideologies. In this masterful biography, Peter Ackroyd not only reveals the truth behind history's great 'man for all seasons', but also paints a fascinating portrait of an age that saw cataclysmic change.
Published price: US$ 89.95
Thomas More was a key player in the political games that were at the heart of Henry VIII's reign. Humanist, lawyer and Lord High Chancellor of England from 1529 to 1532, More remains an intriguing figure. After years of faithful service, he refused to acknowledge Henry as the head of the Church of England, ultimately condemning himself to imprisonment in the Tower and a traitor's death.
More, often caricatured as an overly pious burner of heretics, is revealed in Ackroyd's masterful biography to be both more human and more complex than such a simplistic portrait would suggest. Through close examination of More's writings, his correspondence with confidants such as his life-long friend Erasmus, and a wealth of contemporary material, Ackroyd gets under the skin of a complex man. We witness More's privileged boyhood, his early preoccupation with faith, his glittering law career and his rise to power within the volatile court of Henry VIII. More emerges as a man with a deep sense of irony and an often scatological sense of humour, a man dedicated to his family – particularly his daughter Margaret, whose education he oversaw – and with convictions of faith so deep he habitually wore a hair shirt under his robes. Ackroyd also brings to this book his extensive knowledge of, and passion for, London – the medieval city is as vividly conjured as the man whose life was so closely interwoven with it.
'Full of brilliant insight, and one stands in awe of Ackroyd's learning, confident that this is the life of Thomas More for our times'
Ackroyd's More is a man betrayed by the march of time. Standing for the ideals of the late medieval period, a time of spectacle and holy wonder, he is swept away by the changes wrought by a zealous king; the book's final chapters, focusing on More's isolation in the Tower, show a man ultimately glad to step away from a world that he no longer recognises. In his introduction, author Diarmaid MacCulloch places the events of Ackroyd's 'richly enjoyable book' in the wider context of the Reformation. The endpapers of this edition feature details from one of the earliest maps of London, while the 32 pages of colour plates include many of Holbein's remarkable portraits from the period.
Peter Ackroyd is a novelist, biographer and poet. A graduate of both Cambridge and Yale, he began his career as literary editor for the Spectator magazine in London. In 1983 he won the Somerset Maugham Award for his writing of Oscar Wilde's 'autobiography', The Last Temptation of Oscar Wilde. Continuing his biographical work, Ackroyd was awarded the Whitbread Biography Award, as well as the Heinemann Award, for his biography of T. S. Eliot (T. S. Eliot, 1984). Drawing inspiration from London, the city of his birth, he wrote its own biography (London: A Biography, 2000). In 2003 Ackroyd was awarded a CBE for services to literature.
Diarmaid MacCulloch is a historian, writer and broadcaster and ordained Anglican deacon. A Fellow of St Cross College, Oxford, and Professor of the History of the Church at Oxford University, MacCulloch is also a Fellow of the British Academy, the Royal Historical Society and the Society of Antiquaries of London. His works include Thomas Cranmer: A Life (1996), Tudor Church Militant: Edward VI and the Protestant Reformation (1999), Reformation: Europe's House Divided (1993; The Folio Society, 2013), A History of Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years (2009), Silence: A Christian History (2013) and All Things Made New: Writings on the Reformation (2016). He was knighted in 2013.

SEC Haters: "Remember when Auburn was ranked sixth?"
Death, taxes and people hating the SEC are inevitable facts of life. It was another Saturday of madness around college football and what is a Saturday without mean SEC tweets? Here are some of the best from yesterday.
Most SEC hate generally comes from the feeling that the conference is overrated and receives too much praise nationally. So, when Kirk Herbstreit tweeted his top four, naturally there were some people that disagreed.
My top 4 after WEEK 8. 1-Ohio State 2-Baylor 3-LSU 4-Clemson Next 2 Bama TCU @CollegeGameDay @espn @ESPNCFB #TheBear
— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) October 25, 2015
And, of course, Danny Kanell was out front waving the battle flag.
Win or lose I don't see how anyone in their right mind can say Bama is a Top 10 team right now
— Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) October 24, 2015
We can blame the transitive property for Kanell's assumption that Alabama is somehow overrated. 'Bama lost at home to Ole Miss, who was embarrassed by Memphis, meaning that Memphis is better than the Tide, right? Furthermore, Alabama struggled with Tennessee, who lost to Oklahoma at home, who lost to Texas and so on and so forth.
People seem to be forgetting, or just ignoring, the fact that Alabama holds wins over Wisconsin, UGA and Texas A&M with the latter two coming on the road. The only team to score more than two touchdowns against Nick Saban's defense is Ole Miss and that game was more than a month ago.
Also, let's not pretend that Memphis, and future first round pick Paxton Lynch, isn't the favorite "Group of 5" team to play in a 'New Year's Six' game. The Tigers have back-to-back games on the road against unbeatens Houston and Temple, but should they get through it unscathed they will be a darkhorse for the College Football Playoff with some help.
Even still, that didn't stop talk of Memphis being the SEC West champ :
Ole Miss is crushing Texas A&M tonight, increasing Memphis' lead in the SEC West.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) October 25, 2015
If #OleMiss goes on to beat a #TAMU team ranked higher than the Rebels, I hope #Memphis gets a bump for whipping Ole Miss last week. #SEC
— Ron Clements (@Ron_Clements) October 25, 2015
If Tennessee closes the deal here, I guess you can add Texas to Memphis as teams with transitive wins over Alabama.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) October 24, 2015
Entering 2015, No. 6 Auburn and No. 18 Arkansas were sexy picks to win the SEC West. On Saturday they played a de facto elimination game for an eventual bowl bid. The Hogs won in a four overtime thriller, and while the teams combined for the most exciting SEC game of the day, they still somehow lost on Twitter.
"Arkansas is the best 4 loss team in the country." -Every SEC homer, probably
— Kyle Griffis (@JKGriff) October 24, 2015
Remember when #Auburn was ranked sixth in the preseason? #SECOverrated
— Ron Clements (@Ron_Clements) October 24, 2015
Would someone please win the #Auburn/#Arkansas game so I can watch the #Bama/#Vols game please?
— Derek Tyson (@DerekTysonESPN) October 24, 2015
Auburn/Arkansas game teaser 2015: "Come watch the Tigers drop nearly every pass thrown to them!" https://t.co/9vvYamMcBI
— Ryan Black (@RyanABlack) October 24, 2015
Missouri and *Insert opposing team here* have become the epitome of just how boring a football game can be at times and this week it was Vanderbilt. Before social media and national television broadcast only fans regionally could enjoy the mediocrity of the Mizzou offense. Nowadays anyone can witness it… which isn't necessarily a good thing when mixed with Twitter.
No one knows that better than PowerMizzou.com's Gabe DeArmond.
Seriously, every week I think I can't see worse offensive football. And every week #Mizzou and its opponents prove me wrong.
— Gabe DeArmond (@GabeDeArmond) October 24, 2015
The Tigers became the first SEC team since Kentucky in 1996 to score six points or fewer in three straight games. Mizzou hasn't scored a touchdown in 13 quarters of action and has 609 yards of total offense in its last three games, a total Baylor has hit in all but one game this season. And, to make matters worse, the win ended an 11-game SEC skid for Vanderbilt.
The response was classic.
God bless everyone paying hard earned dollars to watch this game in person. https://t.co/vS4eXTYPWx
— Adam Kramer (@KegsnEggs) October 24, 2015
Missouri/Vandy O/U was 34. In the second quarter, they're 34 points away from a push.
— Barrett Sallee (@BarrettSallee) October 24, 2015
Derek Mason gets his first SEC win. Much needed, obviously. And as for Mizzou…holy hell that is a bad team.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) October 24, 2015
For most people outside of SEC Country, Greg Swaim summed it up in less than 140 characters.
For those who want to argue that the #SEC is vastly overrated this year, I agree 100%.

After a disappointing fifth place finish, Perry said he was going back to Texas to "reassess" his campaign. Some have suggested he is all but certain to drop out after having spent some $4 million in Iowa, only to get 10% of the vote. He spent upwards of $300 per vote, compared to just 73 cents for Santorum. To be sure, that's bad, but perhaps it isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be when there were only a few thousand votes separating the first from last.
It isn't over yet. After all, Governor Rick Perry likes to run. He tweeted a picture of himself running, wearing his Texas A&M running shorts and giving a thumbs-up, with the caption "the next leg of the marathon is the Palmetto State. … Here we come South Carolina!!!"
Perry likes running so much that, on one occasion in 2010, with his laser-sighted pistol in hand, he killed a coyote while running, sending it "to where coyotes go." He believes that jogging can help him get his mojo back and win the Iowa caucus after suffering spinal surgery this summer.
Now he's running in his eleventh straight election–the first out of Texas–for the presidency. So how's Perry doing in his first national bid?
Not well. Indeed, if you believe the conventional political narrative, his campaign ended when he said "oops" during a November debate. Political commentary was unforgiving. Larry J. Sabato spoke for many when he said, "To my memory, Perry's forgetfulness is the most devastating moment of any modern primary debate."
But as so often is the case, the conventional narrative is wrong–or, at least, exaggerated. Governor Perry is actually doing quite well. Does this sound like a moribund campaign?
The Perry campaign had signed up between 1,300 to 1,500 precinct leaders across Iowa, and more than 500 volunteers from 32 states traveled to the Hawkeye State in the days before the caucuses. Bob Haus, Perry's Iowa state chairman, said the volunteers had made 50,000 phone calls, including 10,000 on Monday alone, and knocked on more than 1,000 doors. (Via ABC News)
That compared favorably to the other candidates on the ground. Ron Paul, for example, has 1,480 precinct leaders, and there are 1,774 precincts in Iowa. Perry will assuredly lose both the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary, but strong, respectable showings in both races could set him up for South Carolina and Florida, where he can make a stand. He has but to work, and wait.
If he does do well south of the Mason-Dixon Line, he may well have to thank Mitt Romney, whose relentless ads against Newt Gingrich have all but taken the former Speaker of the House out of the race. Gingrich, still the frontrunner in South Carolina and Florida, has been caught flatfooted fighting Romney. Gingrich has wasted valuable time to rebut the charges rather than make the case for himself. Gingrich lacks both the money and the organization necessary to respond to these ads, so his start will likely fall in the South.
Rick Perry has both those resources in abundance. He has one more that is often lacking among his opponents for the nomination: charm. I personally witnessed Perry's charm offensive when I served as a fellow at the Wall Street Journal this past summer. In person, Perry is funny, self-deprecating, and yet still the alpha dog. He didn't win that many elections by being unlikeable. Perry understands that there is a long march to the nomination. Iowa is, as he has put it, "mile one" in a "marathon" run to the nomination.
Perhaps he can take heart that, as a sign of the strength of his campaign, Politico has targeted his campaign by relying on anonymous sources as is their bailiwick. That led to a memorable exchange between Perry and Politico's Mike Allen:
Perry was right not to respond to these accusations, even if they were true. As anyone who has worked on a campaign knows, there are all manner of reasons that insiders on a campaign would go to the media anonymously. These anonymous sources might be hoping to neutralize foes within the campaign, or to promote their own career.
Assuming Perry can do well in the Southern primaries, the challenge for him will be to broaden his support outside of the South. His Texan accent will be a liability. Perry can neutralize this attack by pointing to the fact that unlike his predecessor, George W. Bush, he is not a son of privilege–he grew up on a farm that had lacked indoor plumbing. He did not attend Bush's high school alma mater, Phillips Andover (tuition in 2012: $42,350) or Obama's Punahou (tuition in 2012: $18,450). He attended Paint Creek High School with a handful of fellow Texans, graduating–as he jokes–in the top ten… of thirteen.
Above all, Perry is at home in the white working class, the very electorate that even David Brooks of the New York Times notes will be crucial in this election
, and which Rick Santorum tapped to great effect in his Iowa campaign.

Over the course of the last 20 years, Dutch conceptual artist and street photographer Hans Eijkelboom documented fashion trends worn by people in New York, Paris, Amsterdam and Shanghai. The images, laid out into grids, are compiled into one comprehensive book, Hans Eijkelboom: People of the Twenty-First Century (Phaidon Press, 2014).
No other photo book gives you so many fur coats, plaid shirts, pink tank tops and jean suits. Eijkelboom's process involved scouting busy pedestrian areas, sometimes spending a half hour, or even a few hours waiting, observing passerby and paying careful attention to repeating garments. Using a trigger in his pocket, he snapped the photos from a camera hung around his neck.

Bill Cunningham ripoff. Yawn.
The most un-photographic photography ever shot! yes yawn
Pure genius.
photos that I would not give a second chance if I took them. Even more uninteresting when lumped together. How cute … they all look the same.

The market, especially the online market, has made a plethora of pre-workout supplements available for women.

Ask the legal expert ... about "granny cams"
Attorney John Durso, Ungaretti & Harris LLP
I know there are state-specific laws, but what can we do generally to keep "granny cams" out of our facility? Seems like the movement to use them is growing.
The use of silent video surveillance in nursing homes, or "granny cams," is a source of continuing debate. Currently, there are no federal laws either prohibiting or specifically authorizing their use in residents' rooms, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has not issued a specific policy on the topic. It is up to the states and/or each facility to decide how they want to address granny cams.
Many states have attempted to pass legislation on the issue, but only a handful have succeeded, including, for example, New Mexico and Texas. The laws in each state differ, with some imposing more stringent requirements than others. Thus, it is still very important to review and comply with the state law requirements applicable to your facility.
As a practical matter, when it comes to a resident's family members, they often resort to using granny cams when they suspect the resident's health or safety is at risk. It is likely, however, that they would prefer to rely on less invasive methods.
Facilities may better meet these family members' needs by implementing policies and procedures to improve communication and engagement between staff, resident and family. There are a number of available options, such as enabling residents to video chat with family members, creating shared calendars that family members may view, and investing in software that allows family members to securely text staff, request resident pictures and updates, or even view a resident's activity through digital records that staff members create.

"The rural development efforts of our Government are comprehensive, time-bound and 'outcome driven', not 'output driven.' We are constantly guided by Nanaji Deshmukh's vision of Gram Uday and are working for the development of our villages."
"Strength of a democracy cannot be restricted to how many people vote," the Prime Minister said adding that its essence Jan Bhagidari (public involvement) and integrating people in the development journey of the cities and villages.

Raking up the issue of sanitation, the Prime Minister said that lack of sanitation facilities in villages is adversely impacting the development of these regions.
"That is why we have been working to overcome this and build toilets in rural areas," he said.
"I bow to the venerable Loknayak JP on his Jayanti. His unflinching courage and righteousness continue to inspire every Indian."
"Remembering Nanaji Deshmukh on his birth anniversary. We are constantly motivated by his noble service and emphasis on rural development," Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier said in a series of tweets.

"Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee, O God."
-Augustine, Confessions, Bk. 1, Ch. 1.
"...[A]s [the human] will is attracted or repelled by the variety of things..., so is it changed or converted..."
-Augustine, The City of God, Bk. 14, Ch. 6.
Human beings are shot through with desire. We hunger and thirst, ache for companionship and burn with sexual desire, and we long for things, some good, some bad, most a tangle of both. Augustine knew that human beings do not merely have desires; we become what we desire. The objects of our desire shape us into the kinds of people we become. What we desire hones our attention and forms our habits, blinding us to some things, highlighting others. How we see, what we see, and who we become are intimately and complexly commingled. So, while it is true that we have desires; it is perhaps more true to say that our desires have us. We become what we desire.
The windows along Main Street are intimately connected to this economy of human desire. In them we see things and promised experiences vying for our dollars, time, and loyalty. The carefully arranged tableaus and mannequins, collections of curios, well chosen words, and price tags are not simply selling things; they are seducing us with a vision of fully satisfied human desire.
The windows offer a kind of ersatz salvation, and much of the power of consumerism lies precisely here. While it purports simply to be meeting our desires, consumerism in fact creates those desires, shaping and reshaping them ever anew by holding before us an endless array of new and improved things to be easily acquired. The power of consumerism is not so much that it offers an array of things to satisfy our natural desires for food, shelter, clothing, recreation, and companionship. Rather, the power of consumerism resides in its capacity to redirect and exaggerate these desires by attaching them to things that have been imaginatively resignified to become bearers of an elusive but powerful vision of perfect human fulfillment.
While consumerism promises perfect fulfillment, that after all accounts for its irrestibility, it in fact depends upon the continued disappointment with the things we already own to fuel a fresh and even more intense desire to acquire the latest things. Buying the lingerie found on unrealistically lithe mannequins in boutique windows will make your body desirable again in his eyes. You will be young again. You will be thin again. You will be loved again. Buying the oversized truck found in the walk-in windows at the dealership and advertised with the deep, husky male voice in the electronic window on your living room wall will settle questions about your masculinity. You'll be man enough for her. You will be loved again. Buy the larger home pictured in the windows of the real estate office and fill it with this season's newest furnishings from the furniture store windows, and your family will know domestic bliss, and your neighbors will know your social worth. Order from the menu in the window of the trendy restaurant or buy her a diamond from the jewelry case, and the spark of romance and sexual excitement will return.
While the windows of Main Street proclaim a carefully marketed gospel of commodified desire, these same windows are engaged in a silent rebellion. If you look at them rather than through them, if you look at the play of reflections with their odd juxtaposition of elements from the street that superimpose themselves upon the carefully choreographed tableaus of the marketers, you see their silent rebellion. Street signs, blurred faces with unguarded expressions, inverted words, cars, pavement, paint, and foreign signage crash disruptively into the carefully planned, controlled scenes behind the glass. Sunlight glints unpredictably and the changing play of clouds and sky appear and reappear unpredictably minute by minute. If you pay attention to the reflections, you can too easily overlook the message behind the glass. And when that happens, the windows have won their rebellion.
Despite every attempt to control what we see in them, and despite every attempt to create and direct our desire through what is seen in them, the windows won't fully cooperate. In the play of reflections, we find accidental beauty, visual riddles replacing the marketer's confident slogans, indeterminate visual possibilities that can free our imagination and liberate desire from the lie of owned things.
Yes, the windows are engaged in a silent rebellion against those who would control them, and through them, control us.

OM Group, the Swedish technology company bidding for the London Stock Exchange, suffered acute embarrassment yesterday when a computer failure caused the Stockholm stock market to shut down.
Disappointing results from Ericsson saw investors rushing to offload the shares. Volumes were more than five times normal levels, and the market twice failed, causing anger among brokers and confusion for investors. OM insists its own software engine was not at fault, blaming the network that connects with market users.
The "outages", as they are known, occurred from 9.36am until 10.25 and from 1.29pm until 2.25. OM has made its superior technology the central argument behind its bid. OM shares fell 22.5 to 340 kronor, valuing its improved offer for the Exchange at £971 million or £32.59 a share. London Stock Exchange shares fell £2 to £24 on the growing assumption the OM bid will fail.

for The Medieval Review.
"Over the last forty years, medieval scholars have exponentially increased our knowledge of the reception of medieval culture in postmedieval times. Cultural studies, feminism(s), medievalism studies, postmodernism(s), Rezeptionsgeschichte, Rezeptionsästhetik, and various sociological studies of intellectual and academic culture have added to our self-awareness of the constructed nature of medievalist practices and rites. La naissance de la médiévistique offers twenty-five essays that focus on the genesis and development of the discipline of medieval history at the modern university during the nineteenth- and early twentieth century, i.e., a period of intensifying nationalism. As a consequence, many of the contributions describe scholars, research projects, policies, organizations, methodologies, universities, museums, and libraries that navigate the conflicting priorities of universal scholarly paradigms and specific national contexts.
Consider, for example, the different national paths and methodologies through which historians around Europe answered the need for reliably archived and (subsequently) edited historical sources...." READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE

DEERFIELD BEACH -- Tom Suvino, owner of Real Seville Towing Co., says he is ready to get back to business as usual.
In the last year and a half Suvino`s firm, at 361 N. Dixie Highway, has been the subject of allegations of unfair towing practices and an attempt by the Broward County Consumer Protection Board to have its occupational license revoked.
Most recently, the Boca Raton City Council has called for an ordinance to ban the firm from operating there or to curb practices that residents there find objectionable.
``I never had to stop towing, but it has hurt me,`` Suvino said of the actions. ``A lot of people who were my customers heard this and said, `Maybe this guy is doing something wrong.` ``
As a result, Suvino said he felt vindicated when a Broward Circuit judge ruled at the end of July that the county`s case against his firm lacked sufficient evidence to sustain the Consumer Board`s 45-day suspension of his license.
Boca Raton City Attorney Frank Bartolone said the city`s efforts to restrict the firm have been put on hold until he determines whether state law would allow such a restriction.
Suvino said he would stand behind his business practices and go to court again to fight future attempts to shut down the business.
``I wasn`t going to give up because I knew I wasn`t doing anything wrong,`` Suvino said.
Despite Judge Eugene Garrett`s ruling, the Broward Consumer Board`s questions about the towing firm`s practices persist and the county General Counsel`s Office is contemplating an appeal, James Thomas, an assistant general counsel, said.

Allow us the opportunity to introduce ourselves and our products to you.
Singleton Seafood has a long history dating back to 1942. Since 2006 Singleton Seafood is owned and operated by Tampa Bay Fisheries Inc., located in Dover, FL.
Henry Singleton inherited his father's love for the fishing trade, while growing up in Mayport, Florida, just north of Jacksonville. By the time he was seven years old, he was spending hours taking the heads off shrimp on the docks. By the time he was eight, he proved to be an enterprising young man. He purchased shrimp from local fishermen, and charmed the women who lived along the shoreline into buying shrimp from him.
By 1945, Henry "Booty" Singleton was living in a Mayport shack. He managed to scrape up $300 to buy a lot filled with palmetto trees. Booty Singleton with the help of his fishing buddies cleared the palmettos from the lot. Singleton took out a two year, $500 mortgage to a contractor to put up a 20 x 24-foot shell of a house on the site. He also put up a 14 x 16-foot fish house, built with a lot of hard work and scrounging around by Booty Singleton and his crew. The small wooden fish house became the destination for shrimp buyers from all over.
Always a gambler and choosing to live life on the edge, Singleton sold his small house in 1948, and acquired four shrimp trawlers and four large mortgages. He took his four boats on journeys around the Gulf of Mexico, from Florida, to Texas, to off the coast of Mexico.
In 1949, the Tortugas-Key West pink shrimp fishery opened up, and Singleton moved his fleet base to Ft. Myers, Florida. At this time, Singleton acquired a fleet of trucks to haul fresh shrimp to buyers. Henry was well on his way to becoming the Shrimp King. Singleton then moved his small fleet of shrimp boats to Tampa, FL. He built an unloading station on the docks in 1953 at HookerŐs Point in Tampa a thriving shrimp port, with many boat support facilities.
By 1958, as the shrimp grounds in the Gulf of Mexico produced less and less, Singleton decided to go into the processing business in Tampa, bringing in shrimp and other seafood from all over the world.
At this time, Singleton leased a 40 x 80-foot, tin-roofed building located in the heart of Tampa.
The first 12-inch wide breading line was replaced with larger breading lines and four expansions were built onto the original plant by 1968. By this time, Singleton Packing Corporation had become one of the largest shrimp processors in the world, with distribution across the entire United States, selling both retail and foodservice products.
As the Singleton shrimp fleet had to reach out further for sourcing of raw materials, Singleton led the way among US seafood companies in looking for new sources of seafood products in foreign countries. Singleton was the first American shrimp company to begin shrimp breading operation offshore.
In the 1970's, over 1,200 employees worked in the Tampa processing plant. Two other plants were located on the Texas Gulf Coast, and one plant was in Key West, Florida. Even today, a statue of Henry Singleton, looking out to the sea, is located at Singleton Plaza on the Marina at Key West.
In 1981, Singleton Packing Company was sold to ConAgra Foods, based in Omaha, Nebraska. After 25 years, ConAgra sold the seafood unit to Singleton Fisheries and Tampa Bay Fisheries owns and operates Singleton Seafood. Today, the "new" Singleton Seafood is better positioned, now, more than ever to meet the needs of you, our valued customer and consumer. We are strategically positioned with our vertical integration and procurement partners around the globe.
From Shrimp to Value Added Seafood products, we have specific, target items to meet your Seafood needs.

My COE Project: Evaluation of the Dual Stream Program for WorkSafeBC
My COE project was to help WorkSafeBC evaluate the effectiveness of their Dual Stream Program (DSP) designed to enable Nurse Advisors to get involved in injury claims as early as possible so that injured workers could return to work quickly and safely. Our COE team conducted in-depth data analysis and statistical testing to isolate the impact of the DSP so that an accurate assessment of the program could be made. The results showed that certain sectors and/or claim types showed a significant reduction in the period when the injured worker first returned to work part-time, though the period before the injured worker returned to work full-time often increased. We were also able to identify where the impact of the DSP was most and least significant.
My MM in OR Experience
In addition to the technical skills I developed from coursework in the MM in OR program, I also gained experience in areas like project management, business consulting and leadership. More importantly, the program opened doors to business and operations research opportunities. It allowed me to make close friends with competent and friendly individuals who shared similar interests with me. I was hired by BC Children's Hospital before I graduated.

Wellwishers from all across Alba Therum gathered in Port Akkadis to bid farewell to a long-planned expedition to the jungles of darkest Turivola. The hundreds-strong party set sail early this morning, and are expected to make landfall in just under a month. Their eventual goal is to chart the unexplored jungle, once the seat of the Yamatari Empire, and perhaps discover what happened to the ancient culture.
Alba Therum's own Edvara, noted Magewright, had nothing but optimism for the journey.
"It really is a phenomenal opportunity," the genasi wizard said. "The potential benefits to our kingdom are limitless."
She's joined by prominent merchant Acariah Terevos, who will serve as the group quartermaster.
"The backing by the kingdom has been incredible. It's easily the most well-supplied expedition of its kind that I've ever heard of."
Nowhere is that more apparent than with the leader of the expedition: Rubid Hawke, out of Northumber. Longtime readers will recognize the Hawke family as being a mainstay of adventuring annals. I had a moment to speak with the lovely Ms. Hawke during her last-minute preparations.
"My family has always been adventuring. It's how we made our reputation, but this is an expedition I'm really proud to be a part of. The preparations have been extensive, but I really feel like we're ready to face anything."
The "preparations" Ms. Hawke speaks of include four years of planning, and the hiring of experts in multiple fields of study. The bulk of the expeditionary force is made up of free agent adventurers from all walks of life, coming together in the search for the lost civilization of the Yamatari. Those adventurers represent years of recruiting efforts both locally and abroad, and are the key to the mission's success.
For now, those hundreds of brave souls are sailing across the sea, in search of fortune and glory. Though one can't foresee what thrilling excitement awaits them, this reporter, at least, will be watching with great interest.

The 30 Rock star got physical with a photographer as he left his NYC home with fiancée Hilaria Thomas, grabbing the a paparazzo's arm.
He even unleashed a profanity-filled rant.
"I want you to shut the f*ck up … leave my neighbor alone … get outta here," the actor said, according to TMZ. Baldwin – who was carrying a pink stuffed animal — reportedly even called the male snapper a "little girl."
The reason for his latest temper tantrum?
A source tells TMZ that the photographer had been bothering other residents in the building, hence the actor's request to give his neighbors a break.
Baldwin's prior tussle occurred on June 19, when he lunged at – and allegedly punched — New York Daily News photographer Marcus Santos outside New York City's Marriage License Bureau.
"I knew he was going to attack me. I stepped back, and he kept coming," Santos, 42, told the Daily News. "He was looking mad. … "He comes after me, starts shoving and punching me — one time, right in the chin. And then he started shoving me, and pushing me. Then he goes the other way."
Soon after the 54-year-old actor's trip to the marriage license bureau, rumors swirled that Baldwin had walked down the aisle with 28-year-old Thomas. But as Celebuzz exclusively reported, the two have not yet wed. However, there are reports that they may tie the knot this weekend.
What do you think of Baldwin's notoriously short fuse? Sound off in the comments.

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - September 19, 2016) - Mota Group today announced availability of a virtual reality (VR) headset for its popular JETJAT® ULTRA™ micro-sized drone.
The TAMO™ VR headset gives users the "feeling of flight," said Mota president and CEO Michael Faro. "The combination of VR with a super-small drone offers consumers a highly advanced drone technology for the first time, along with more fun-per-ounce than almost anything else. We believe virtual reality and drone technology should be available to everyone. That's a foundation of our company and our direction."
Mota has partnered with retailers, including Groupon, to make the ULTRA and TAMO VR headset available worldwide. Users can also order directly from Mota.
Mota believes JETJAT ULTRA is the world's smallest live streaming drone, and only one available in the VR space.
Smaller than a golf ball, ULTRA measures just 1.65 inches per side and barely nudges the scales at .59 ounce.
The diminutive high-performance drone can be had for less than the average coffee maker and serves up a lot more fun.
The ULTRA streams crystal clear first-person video from its 480p camera to the pilot's smartphone from up to 80 feet away.*
Zoom through the backyard, soar up high for a birds eye view, get close in with family and friends -- capture unforgettable footage from vantage points never before possible.
The ULTRA packs big drone features in its tiny frame, with one-touch take-off, auto hover, and autoland. More experienced users can perform aerial stunts like back flips and barrel rolls thanks to its outsized power.
Amp up the thrills with a fully immersive view of flight using the TAMO VR headset.
It lets users virtually perch on the drone for each second of flight using a smartphone as the graphics processor. With a soft fitting foam seal and adjustable head strap, it has independently adjustable lenses for optimum visual comfort. It's compatible with screen sizes up to about 5.5 inches and a variety of eyeglass frames.
The included controller offers selectable right- and left-handed operation, precision joysticks, and expandable ergonomic grips. The ULTRA stores safely inside the controller so people can take the fun anywhere. The ULTRA can also be flown using an Android or iPhone and the JETJAT ULTRA app.

Hematite is a mineral with a composed of iron oxide, incorporating a hexagonal crystal system. Its name comes from the Greek word for blood; this may its color when found in powdered form, or the fact that there are sometimes red-rust streaks or spots that can be seen in it. Most Hematite you will see has what may be called a metallic gray color, as it has been highly polished. Yet 'metallic gray' hardly describes the luminous appearance of this stone. It is like a mirror or a silvery dark lake, mercurial; this is one of my all-time favorite stones. There are several varieties; these include bloodstone, kidney ore, iron rose, specularite, rainbow hematite, titano-hematite, and paint ore. It is harder than raw iron, though more brittle, and is sometimes referred to as a black diamond. Interestingly, even though the polished stone is metallic and shiny, if you were to cut it into very thin plates, it would appear red and transparent. Watch out for a very common imitation (often this is all you can find!) -- hematine. Hematine is a synthetic form and is a lower cost, but it is not authentic. It is made from ground hematite or artificial iron oxide powder, then mixed with resin and molded into beads. To determine the 'real thing', you can streak the mineral on the back of a porcelain tile or porcelain plate. Hematite will streak red (if it is the fake stuff, it will streak gray). You can also test it with a magnet. Hematite is not attracted to a magnet and the Hematine sort of fake is attracted. There is one reason you might want to use the imitation -- the magnetized Hematine can be used in magnetic therapy jewelry (read more about this fascinating subject at: http://www.dandbjewelryonline.com/.
For those who subscribe to the notion that there are spiritual aspects to beads, Hematite is thought to be among the most effective stones for grounding oneself in the body and the physical world, counteracting 'spaciness' and confusion. Many carry or wear Hematite to help bring their dreams into reality, by helping them learn the difference between a true vision and a fantasy. The stone harmonizes with other grounding stones (like Moss Agate or Smoky Quartz), as well as Herkimer Quartz 'Diamonds', another one of my all-time favorites (more on that later).
Hematite beads look great with swarovski crystal or fire-polished beads. The example shown here is one I found on Etsy.com (from 'Moonlight Symphony'). Lovely!

Students interested in majoring in Sociology should make an appointment with the Chair of the Sociology and Anthropology Department to discuss their program of study.
Please realize, that it is Holy Cross' College Catalog, and not this Website, that is the final authority on all degree and major requirements.
Sociology courses draw attention to history, culture, and social structure and their effects on people's lives. The curriculum features the analysis of cultures and social institutions, of social problems and social change, and of the contribution of social science to policy formulation and implementation. The sociology major is designed to provide a critical assessment of the modern world and knowledge of the latest issues in social theory and research. Students interested in conducting original research are encouraged to apply for summer research fellowships with faculty. The department also offers an honors program.
The major is appropriate for students with a wide range of educational and career interests including but by no means limited to graduate study in sociology. Majors often pursue graduate work in law, medicine, health care management, communications, urban affairs, and gerontology, and careers in business, government, education, journalism, management, social services, and public health.
Requirements (10 course minimum):
- The Sociological Perspective (Sociology 101)
- Logics of Inquiry (Sociology 223)
- The Development of Social Theory (Sociology 241)
- Social Statistics (Sociology 226)
- One advanced course at 300 or 400 level: e.g. a seminar, tutorial, or research practicum
- Five sociology electives, two may be anthropology courses. A maximum of 14 courses can be taken in the major.
Students interested in the sociology major should complete the Sociological Perspective early in their program. While all majors explore a range of social phenomena and issues, students are also encouraged to design a program that creates a subdisciplinary specialization within the department's offerings. Sociology majors are expected to complete the required courses in Theory and Social Statistics soon after declaring the major. Once students have taken Social Statistics, they should enroll in Logics of Inquiry, preferably by their third year. Study abroad is enthusiastically supported; with prior approval, a theory course taken abroad may be used to meet the theory requirement, but the logics of inquiry and statistics requirements must be taken at Holy Cross. A maximum of four courses from Study Abroad may be applied toward the major.
Courses can be viewed via the Holy Cross Course Guide Website
(enrolled Holy Cross Students only) or by the Sociology course guide

Monday on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," guest host Luke Russert said former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) will have to deal with the "toxicity" of the Bush family brand during his potential 2016 presidential bid.
"One thing that I find fascinating is, we talk about his brother, and you can't really point to something specifically that the modern GOP holds on to and lifts up that his brother did as something they are extremely proud of, that they want to go to the mat for. You had a lot of references to Ronald Reagan, you hear a few to Bush 41, you don't hear a lot to W. So there is a toxicity of that brand. Not only nationally, but within Republican primary political circles. That's a tough thing for Jeb Bush to encounter."

Michael Lofgren has a lengthy piece up wherein he explains why he left the workaday life of political activisim behind, in the process echoing a point I've made more than a few times on this very site about how the inmates have taken over the asylum in the GOP (a situation which the ascendancy of the Tea Party has only exacerbated). Says he:
To those millions of Americans who have finally begun paying attention to politics and watched with exasperation the tragicomedy of the debt ceiling extension, it may have come as a shock that the Republican Party is so full of lunatics. To be sure, the party, like any political party on earth, has always had its share of crackpots, like Robert K. Dornan or William E. Dannemeyer. But the crackpot outliers of two decades ago have become the vital center today: Steve King, Michele Bachman (now a leading presidential candidate as well), Paul Broun, Patrick McHenry, Virginia Foxx, Louie Gohmert, Allen West. The Congressional directory now reads like a casebook of lunacy.And make no mistake about it, Lofgren also reserves plenty of fire for the Democrats as well, who he feels are just as complicit as their congressional counterparts for the current shabby state of our governance, but per his thesis, the difference between the two parties comes down to one of haplessness vs. maliciousness. Read the rest at the link. It's a long one, but it's well worth it.

Having memory loss or cognitive impairment does not necessarily mean that you have Alzheimer's disease (AD), which only accounts for 50-60% of all causes. In fact, most causes of cognitive impairment are treatable, including AD. Other treatable causes include depression, medication effects, high blood pressure, depression, diabetes, high cholesterol, stroke, thyroid problems and other hormonal abnormalities, vitamin deficiencies, uncontrolled medical conditions and head injury. Finding the right diagnosis to get the right treatment as early as possible is the key to the best treatment outcome.

With Watercolor: Content via Technique
September 24–December 27, 2015
Contemporary Indiana artist Brian Gordy explores the powerful connection between technique and content through a carefully curated selection of masterworks from the rich collection of watercolors at the David Owsley Museum of Art.
His choices emphasize transparency as fundamental to the medium of watercolor, and examine how both famous and less well-known watercolorists have exploited this technique to achieve the most appropriate visual effects for particular subjects. Some of the highlights of the exhibition include stunning displays of light, atmosphere, and sky in works by Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, and Reginald Marsh, as well as examples by less familiar masters of watercolor, such as Alice Baber, Thomas Blackwell, John Lavalle, Hachiro Nakagawa and Millard Sheets.
Gordy notes that his selections "were not driven by the fame of the individual artists or their histories, but from a studio artist's point of view. The title With Watercolor means that these are works of art that required watercolor as a medium from the very beginning in order to realize the artists' intentions."
Unlike most exhibitions that focus on one medium, Gordy will also demonstrate several watercolor techniques during a live, public presentation in the recital Hall on September 24 at 6:30 pm. Visitors are then encouraged to see the show through an artist's eyes, as they learn to identify different methods across a wide variety of styles. In addition, children and adults are invited to practice painting in a special watercolor studio embedded within the exhibition galleries.
By featuring local artist Gordy as its curator, this exhibition celebrates the wealth of artistic talent resident in Muncie on the occasion of the city's 150th anniversary. – RGL

Unlike the wall between application developers and application operators, which has come tumbling down at many enterprises thanks to emergence of DevOps, the wall between developers and data professionals remains standing. RedMonk analyst Stephen O'Grady covers the issue in a recent blog post, noting, "For all that the process of developing software has evolved … the database remains curiously overlooked.."
In this episode of Pivotal Insights, host Jeff Kelly and Pivotal's Jacque Istok pick up the conversation.
Istok, who runs Pivotal's data engineering and data science field organization, says the wall is starting to crack, as more enterprises recognize the role data and analytics play in developing compelling enterprise and consumer applications. But enterprises need to overcome years of ingrained behavior and mindsets in which many developers considered DBAs and other data pros more as roadblocks to success than partners.

My Left Foot
24/9/2017, 17:30, Οnassis Cultural Centre
An Academy Award success, starring the one and only Daniel Day Lewis in the role of the Irish author and painter Christy Brown, who was born with cerebral palsy and who wrote his life's story with his left foot. Digitally restored version. Free Entrance
Christy Brown is born with cerebral palsy in a society that knows no better than to pity him. The only part of his body he can control is his left foot which he will use to learn how to paint. The incredible story of Irish writer and painter Christy Brown was transferred on the big screen in 1989 and became an academy-award success seven years after Brown died at the age of 49.
"My left foot", which was the directorial debut of Jim Sheridan, was based on Brown's titular autobiographical best-selling novel, and is considered a timeless ode to human willpower. Daniel Day-Lewis gave a legendary performance which won him his first Academy Award.
