Ducati present 1199RS13 Superbike and start to reveal 2013 models at Cologne's Intermot show Ducati has started to reveal its 2013 range at the Intermot International Motorcycle Show in Cologne, Germany, displaying new colours in the Diavel and Superbike families and, as the famous naked icon now celebrates 20 years of production, special Anniversary versions of the Monster 696, 796 and 1100EVO. The recently released 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 also made its first-ever public appearance, as did the brand new 1199 Panigale RS13, which is now ready to make its debut in the World Superbike series next year. Company CEO, Gabriele Del Torchio, and General Manager, Claudio Domenicali addressed the world's motorcycle press during a special conference held on the Italian manufacturer's stand at the massive biennial event. "Ducati has entered a new era," said Gabriele Del Torchio, CEO of Ducati. "Being part of such a prominent and significant group as Volkswagen makes us look to the future with confidence and optimism and we are very happy to be here at Intermot with so many new products to present. Despite today's severely shrinking market, Ducati continues to show positive growth, and since 2007 has consistently increased its market share and further strengthened its financial position. 2011 was a record year in the history of Ducati and we expect to continue our growth in 2012. Our 2013 motorcycles, such as the new Multistrada 1200, demonstrate the consistency of our development strategies and today I am especially proud to present our new Monster Anniversary, a celebration of the glorious history of this iconic model in the Ducati family." "Twenty years have passed since the presentation of our first Ducati Monster, right here at Intermot," said Claudio Domenicali, General Manager of Ducati Motor Holding, during the press conference. "This model redefined the parameters of the naked segment and our new Monster Anniversary is dressed in the original livery of that very first version and applied to the whole range of latest-generation Monsters. In addition to the Monster Anniversary, we have brought a number of interesting new products to Cologne. Our new Multistrada 1200 is an evolution of the 4-bikes-in-1 concept and now becomes even more versatile with the introduction of the revolutionary Ducati Skyhook Suspension system. The model also presents a new and improved Testastretta 11° DS engine, with enhanced power delivery and smoother operation, and a re-styled front-end with new LED lighting. We are also presenting brand new colour schemes for the Diavel and the Superbike 848 and 1199 Panigale and Ducatisti here in Cologne have the first chance to see the RS13 version of the 1199 Panigale, now available for teams to prepare their fight for the 2013 Superbike World Championship." First introduced in Cologne in 1992, the Monster family now reaches a milestone 20 years of production and Ducati celebrates the iconic naked with special 20th Anniversary editions of its latest 696, 796 and 1100EVO models. Standing proudly alongside the exclusive Monster Diesel, this bold range of lifestyle motorcycles are dressed in special liveries, revised colour finishes and character-forming features. The innovative Ducati Diavel, which has become one of Ducati's most desired models, rolls into 2013 with an exciting line-up that sees the flagship Diavel Carbon now exclusively in carbon red and the standard Diavel in three stunning new colour versions. The Diavel Dark in matte black with black-finished components and two "street-sport" schemes that introduce metallic blue or Ducati red with stylish white stripes, white wheels and special defining features. The 2013 Ducati Superbike family introduces arctic white versions of the exciting 1199 Panigale and 1199 Panigale S alongside the signature Ducati red, while the 1199 Panigale S Tricolore continues proudly as the flagship of the family. The highly successful 848EVO is available in the traditional colours of Ducati red* and dark stealth*, while the exclusive 848EVO Corse Special Edition, with a new-for-2013, lightweight, aluminium fuel tank, gets dressed in the stunning new Ducati Corse Test Team livery of matte black and matte grey. *Country specific The 2013 Ducati Multistrada family has its first public showing at Intermot and presents an innovative and technically advanced evolution of an already successful range. Restyled aesthetics, a brand new Granturismo model and the new Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) system, which provides confidence-inspiring, intelligent electronics, are just a few of the many enhancements that continue the Multistrada's excellent reputation. Ducati's highly anticipated 1199 Panigale RS13 also breaks cover for the first time at Intermot. The spectacular Ducati Corse prepared machine previews the full race version of the company's top-of-the range sportbike model, now ready and available for teams to prepare for competition in the 2013 World Superbike series. Intermot will be open to the public from 3-7 October and Ducati's impressive 2013 models, accessories and apparel can be viewed on stand A-042/C-055 in Hall 8 of Cologne's exhibition complex.

Well, finally picked a few question from the words of my clients. Here are the often asked questions I think we should ironed out from here.

Amnesty International's office in Moscow has been sealed off by the city authorities, say members of staff.
Arriving for work on Wednesday, they found official seals placed across the office entrances, the locks had been changed and the power was cut off.
The human rights group says it was given no warning but hoped there was "a simple administrative explanation".
It has in the past complained of harassment by the authorities in Russia.
Amnesty's Moscow director, Sergei Nikitin, posted photos of the seals and discarded locks on Facebook.
Staff member Alexander Artemyev told independent Dozhd TV internet broadcaster that the organisation had been renting an office belonging to Moscow's department of city property for 20 years.
'Unwelcome surprise'
It had always paid its rent on time, he reportedly said.
John Dalhuisen, Amnesty International's Europe director, said: "We do not know what prompted Moscow authorities to prevent our staff from accessing our offices – an unwelcome surprise for which we received no prior warning.
"Given the current climate for civil society work in Russia, there are clearly any number of plausible explanations, but it's too early to draw any conclusions. We are working to resolve the situation as swiftly as possible and very much hope there is a simple administrative explanation for this setback to our work.
"We are 100% confident that we fulfilled all our obligations as tenants."
He said staff were seeking a meeting with municipal authorities to try to resolve the situation.
President Vladimir Putin's spokesman said he had no information about what had happened.
"This is the first time I've heard about it," Dmitry Peskov told journalists, according to privately-owned Russian news agency Interfax.
Tough new laws
Laws require all NGOs receiving any overseas funding to register as foreign agents and so face restrictions.
The Russian authorities say the law is needed to protect Russia from outside attempts to influence internal politics, but many organisations complain the law is used to try to clamp down on their activities.
Last year, Russia passed a law allowing foreign organisations to be banned from operating in the country if designated as "undesirable" on national security grounds.
At the time, Mr Nikitin condemned the law as "another sobering sign of how the Russian authorities are quickly closing in on fundamental freedoms and the work of independent civil society groups in the country".

Jon Reyman
To the outside world the name Jon Reyman may not seem like one that is overly distinguished. At least, in a world full of Jo(h)ns both noteworthy and nameless (Jon Doe, Jon Bon Jovi). In Aveda world, the name Jon Reyman evokes creativity, artistry and more technical skill than you can shake a pair of shears at.
Why all the buzz about a man named Jon? In the 20 years he has been hairdressing, Jon Reyman has traveled across the world developing curriculum, he has secured the title of Aveda Pure-fessional (the highest level of stylist within the Aveda network), and served as lead stylist for years at fashion week. He also runs three thriving salons with a full staff in Soho, Los Angeles and San Francisco (Spoke & Weal). Mr. Reyman also utilized his skills as master stylist and artistic director at the Aveda Advanced Academy in New York. His progressive cutting and styling techniques are cause for his advanced cutting, runway styling and editorial styling classes to be sought out by stylists nationwide. Salon Enso's very own Molly Swan was lucky enough to participate backstage at fashion week Autumn Winter 2015 under Jon's tutelage. She called the experience "epic" (and is still sharing tips and tidbits from the experience).
Molly's description of her time spent in Jon's Advanced Runway styling course in January lead to some serious excitement at Salon Enso earlier this month. As a staff, Salon Enso values education.
We invest in our careers to make us better stylists sometimes traveling hundreds of miles to make it happen. So what led to this flurry of elation? Mr. Jon Reyman made a trip to Lancaster and taught an Advanced Cutting class within our salon doors.
Fifteen stylists were able to participate in the class, the bulk of those being the Salon Enso crew. It was informative and it was challenging and there were more than a few light bulbs illuminating above individuals' heads.
It was also invigorating to see how Jon views the hair as fabric and encourages all stylists to make that fabric as easily manipulated (see easily styled) as possible. We discussed the components of the hair which are texture, length and density and how a cut is effected by the length and density of hair, but texture is specifically product (a real aha moment).
He gave us new techniques for creating more modern haircuts, a soft fringe, face framing layers and stressed his philosophy when it came to hair: Dry hair don't lie – which was followed by multiple examples of why he prefers dry cutting over wet (again – lightbulbs).
Jon Reyman then followed up his Sunday Advanced Hair Cutting class at Salon Enso by hosting a business building seminar the following day at the Cork Factory Hotel in Lancaster. In this seminar, he spoke about the atmosphere within his highly successful salons. His key was giving his stylists a sense of purpose and autonomy as well as helping them continually master their skills. He shared how he views the salon culture as a community in which everyone learns how their influence can impact the culture of the salon. He gave some fantastic strategies for conflict resolution and how to be direct and kind in communication. It was incredibly special was being there as there as a staff (told you we valued education!) and discussing how these strategies fit in with the salon already and ways we can improve our interactions as a team.
It was two whirlwind days of non-stop learning (and a lot of information crammed into a few short hours) but the glow of excitement and bristling energy from all of us the following day proved that it was two days well served! I can also attest from the number of stylist saying very lovingly to their guests "today I'd like to try something new on you I learned in a class" and the nods of approval – these techniques are here to stay. In a word – epic.

During the boat-washing process, spots normally get left behind after the final rinse. These spots contain minerals like calcium and magnesium and one way to eliminate them is to use the Spot Free system of filtration.
Seagoing power catamarans are becoming more
popular with the boating public. Their uses range
from offshore fishing to long-distance cruising and
their attributes aren't that hard to sell.

Mr. Markeece Young is a 20 year-old convert to the Republican Party and Conservative advocate. You can find him on Twitter, @youngBLKRepub; and on his own website, http://www.youngblkrepub.wordpress.com. We salute his willingness to investigate the facts and hope that many young people are listening.
Hello, Markeece. Thanks so much for this interview. Young voices like yours may be the most important change agent right now, and we are so excited to hear your answers.
WWS: What expectations did you & your family have for the Obama administration? Did your family support Obama?
MY: I was 13 when Obama was elected. My family supported Obama because he was black. We expected him to be a uniter, not a divider. We now have a negative opinion of him.
WWS: What do you think Barack Obama's legacy will be?
MY: I think Obama's legacy will be very controversial. Half will say he's a great leader who turned the country around, half will call him a mediocre president.
WWS: You've described yourself as a "former Democrat" – how do you think that happened? I'm really interested in your answer because at the age of 39, I have the sense that I always was, like I was born a Liberal.
MY: As an African American, you are kind of born a Democrat. Sadly, the black community has been conditioned to only be Democrats. There's a lack of individuality in our community, sadly. Blacks who are Republican will get shunned. The reason I'm a former Democrat is because I was never really a Democrat at all, if that makes sense. I was only a Democrat because other people told me I was.
WWS: What was the catalyst for you in moving to the Right? I see the liberals using race, class and gender as wedge issues, or to denounce the opposition as racist, anti-woman and so on. What do you think of some of today's big topics, like Black Lives Matter, Planned Parenthood, or gun control? (We saw the videos you posted on your website.) What issues are most important to you?
MY: I'm not a fan of Black Lives Matter. If they don't protest against black on black crime, then they don't believe that Black Lives Matter themselves. I also believe that Planned
Parenthood is a horrible organization. It has done a lot of damage to the black community.
WWS: Have you talk to your family about your changing views? Do your friends and family know about the meme you created? What has their response been? Are you likely to endorse Ben Carson as the Republican candidate, or were you defending him on principle?
How can Conservatives catch the attention of young people?
MY: I have been able to convert many in my family to Right or Independent side. Most of them voted Republican for the first time in 2014. The meme I created was to stand up for Carson on principle. I think he is a great man, but I have my doubts about him being a formidable candidate. I think that we can reach young people by talking to them. The problem is that we believe people will wake up by themselves, but that's not how it works. We have to go where young people are – that's social media and campuses. Let's bring the message they care about – getting a job out of college and student loan debt.
WWS: I feel like a lot of young people who aren't very political feel that our politics don't really have much of an effect on their lives – how would you respond if someone were to say to you: "Yeah, what difference does it make? None of this really effects me anyway."
MY: Sadly, I can tell you from experience that many young people believe that politics has no effect on their lives. It actually affects everything. Many young people get angry (when) the government screws them and don't realize that they just said politics doesn't affect anything.
WWS: We agree with everything you said, Markeece. Keep up the good work, young man!

Mona Noriega and Evette Cardona, both in their 50s, will celebrate 20 years together next year.
But on Friday, there was an urgency to get to the next step in their relationship. Hours after a federal judge ruled that same-sex marriages didn't have to wait until June in Cook County, the couple hurried over to the clerk's office to get a marriage license.


text: A spiritually oriented life is a pilgrimage from Dwaita (the concept of duality) to Advaita (the realization of nonduality). Duality is the beginning and non-duality is the culmination of this journey in life. Dwaita (duality) sees the devotee (atma) and God (Paramatma) as two separate entities. In the advaita philosophy there are no two entities, but just one, i.e. God (The Supreme Self). For this journey towards realization of one's unity with God, the seers have recommended two paths:- (1) Jnanamarga or Vicharamarga (The path of knowledge or path of contemplation) and (2) Karmamarga (the path of action) or Upasanamarga (the path of worship). Both these paths ultimately lead to Moksha (liberation). Liberation is the realization or attainment of Godhood.

New Technologies and Environmental Consciousness, Prof. Dr. Emílio José Montero Arruda Filho
Montag, 14. November 2016 - 15:15 Uhr - Seminarraum 5 (I 127)
This research analyzes the technology convergence for new products in the market with multifunctional attributes integrated in one device. It is interesting to understand how green attributes influences consumers' purchase intentions according different attributes in the same package containing hedonic or utilitarian characteristics. Due to the recent growth in convergent products, technology users and consumers must choose among numerous different characteristics that can be perceived as either utilitarian or hedonic. So, it is suggested that new products launched on the market include attributes that are connected to sustainability and provide added value to consumers in their process of decision making according consumers values and prior experience with green. The technologic marketing research group focus the analysis on the comprehension of consumer intention based on the perception of the product's utility or interactivity, connecting consumer's prior experience and attitude toward green products. Several experiments were designed to evaluate utilitarian or hedonic convergence, green attribute integration, and environmental consciousness for (involvement with) green products. We propose that consumers' values change for different scenarios related to Environmental consciousness, Convergence, selfish and altruistic characteristics, and green benefit related to brand trustful for the product.
Short Biography
Emílio José Montero Arruda Filho was awarded his PhD in marketing and e-commerce from the University of Bergamo, Italy in March 2009 where he researched issues on telecommunications convergence usage. He has published and presented widely in the areas of hedonic versus utilitarian consumer values in mobile telecommunications, including papers in International Journal of Technology Marketing, International Journal of Information Management, Telematics and Informatics, and International Journal of Innovation and Learning among others. In 2007 and 2008, he was a Visiting Researcher at the Research Institute for Telecommunications and Information Marketing at the University of Rhode Island, Kingston RI –USA, and in 2012 until 2013 he was a visiting Professor at the Marketing Division at the Getúlio Vargas Foundation in São Paulo, Brazil, where he concluded the post PhD period researching green attributes for the technology environment. Currently he is an Associate Marketing Professor at the University of Amazon (UNAMA) in Belém and at the FUMEC University in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Gary Quenneville to lead consolidated New York region
KeyBank today announced it has united the operations of its Western New York region, comprised of its Buffalo and Rochester markets, and its Eastern New York region, comprised of its Central New York, Capital Region and Hudson Valley markets, to form a new, single New York region.
Gary Quenneville, the current regional sales executive for the Western New York region, will lead the newly unified New York region. The new region has more than 3,000 employees covering 40 counties across the state, 232 branches, a technology center (Albany) and a contact center (Buffalo).
The statewide consolidation also came after Hugh Donlon, Eastern New York regional sales executive and Capital Region market president, informed Key he has chosen to pursue a new opportunity outside KeyBank.
"Gary Quenneville's proven leadership skills, market knowledge and strong business acumen perfectly position him as the leader of this consolidated, statewide KeyBank region," said E. J. Burke, president, Key Community Bank. "A 29-year Key veteran, Gary has deep experience and knowledge of New York markets."
Quenneville will continue to be responsible for leading KeyBank sales efforts in commercial banking and Key private bank, and will oversee details of the consolidation through coordinating KeyBank activities and resources across the state.
In 2012, Quenneville led Key in undertaking a similar, successful consolidation: efficiently integrating 36 newly acquired HSBC branches into KeyBank in Western New York. Quenneville has built a reputation for developing, leading and energizing highly engaged and successful teams.
KeyBank's retail banking structure remains unchanged in the unification: Sharon Lochocki will continue as retail sales leader for the Buffalo and Rochester markets, and Steve Fournier will continue in that role for Central New York, Capital Region and Hudson Valley.
Also unchanged is Key's commitment to last year's realignment of its community bank leadership structure and results-driven culture based on five core practices: drive sales, be accountable, act consistently, deliver rapidly and remove layers.
"We thank Hugh Donlon for his contributions, his leadership and deep understanding of the financial services industry," Burke said. "His skills and energies have been essential to our success across the region he served, and helped prepare KeyBank for this unification of our operations across the state of New York."

Home From College But Where's My Bedroom?
When you head home from college during break, don't be surprised if there have been some big changes at home, including your bedroom, read on...
|Home From College But Where's My Bedroom?
Feeling the loss one afternoon, shortly after Jamie's birthday, I could no longer bear to look at her empty room so I packed up and stored her things, moved her youngest sister into her bedroom... then turned her sister's room into a personal space for myself. When Jamie finally came home, she felt a little lost and betrayed, as if she didn't belong anymore. So here is my advice for both students and parents…
Advice for College Bound Freshman
When you leave for college, remember mom and dad may initially feel a little lost. After all, just 24 hours before dropping you off in your campus dorm room far away from home your mom may have had to help you find a missing article of clothing you just had to take to campus while dad probably loaded all your stuff into the car. Just imagine how scary it must feel for your parents to leave you on campus alone. So while you may be feeling that new found independence of a college freshman, don't pull a "Jamie" and repeatedly tell your parents you are never coming home to live again. While you may not intend it to be hurtful, it does sting a little. To this day, Jamie and I laugh about it because she has moved home on more than one occasion since leaving for college.
If you do come home for summer break to find your bedroom has been turned into an art or photography studio, try not to take it personally. Maybe mom just needed to make changes to help her adjust to your leaving the nest. If your old room means that much to you and you feel robbed of your space, talk to your mom about how you are feeling but keep in mind that you are an adult now and will soon be moving from your dorm room into your first place so does it really matter where you sleep if it helps mom let go?
Advice for Parents of College Bound Freshman
When your student leaves for college, especially your first born, it can be heart wrenching. While you may feel excited for them, you may also feel a sense of loss. Those feelings should pass in time and be replaced with a new found independence of your own, meaning you have a little more time to pursue your own interests. If those interests require the use of your student's bedroom you may want to ease them into the transition… Don't let your student come home from college for summer break and be surprised by the changes, work it out ahead of time. Just remember, most of us felt a sense of loss when our childhood bedroom was no longer ours… it's a natural progression.
Good luck to your entire family this coming school year and remember to live dorm smart!

The 5 Worst Mistakes I Made My Freshman Year At College... Get the Dorm 411!
"...I was so excited my freshman year of college. I could not wait to move into my dorm room, meet new people, and have new experiences. Surprisingly, all of this newfound freedom left me feeling a little lost. As a result, I made a few common freshman mistakes along the way..."
1. Getting involved with the older coeds…
Somehow I thought I needed to be a part of the in crowd. Of course, at that time, I was a freshman at Tulane University… far from home and the comfort of my family and childhood friends. Being insecure in my newfound freedom, I thought it was so cool being one of the only freshmen invited to their parties. My advice for incoming freshman is to be yourself, and the right friends will surface in process.2. Getting involved in a romantic relationship…
The right relationships can be fun. It is nice to go out, meet new people, and experience new things. However, college is a time of self discovery so getting involved too soon in a serious romantic relationship can completely derail you, both personally and professionally. Enjoy the college experience.3. Not taking campus safety seriously…
One of my biggest mistakes and the hardest to share with readers… I felt invincible, like it couldn't happen to me… I was wrong. I trusted a friend. I went to his dorm room to study alone and became a victim. BIG MISTAKE! Always take precautions on and off campus. For example, only study and travel in groups, carry personal safety products approved for your campus, lock you dorm door even when you are there, and don't allow yourself to become impaired by alcohol. Live smart, and stay safe!4. Failing to balance…
One of the hardest things for most college students their freshman year, myself included, is learning to balance personal activities, classes, and study time. College is a balancing act that must be performed throughout life, so it is the perfect opportunity to master this skill. Classes are only a semester or quarter long, so do not procrastinate when it comes to studying. Once you are behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. If you've been skipping classes, your professor will not be sympathetic. Bottom line, while it is important to set a schedule for personal activities to alleviate stress and create a sense of belonging, it is equally important to attend class and study consistently. Balance!5. Failing to take care of my health…
Freshman year, I was all about working out, rock hard abs. However, between going out, pulling all nighters, and failing to maintain a healthy diet, I got sick a lot! As a result of my lifestyle, I struggled to maintain my grades. As an honor student on a full ride academic scholarship at one of the top 50 business schools in the country, failing to eat properly and get enough sleep were not my smartest choices.In hindsight, all of the mistakes that I made my freshman year came from a place of insecurity, leaving the comforts of home and my childhood friends to embark upon a new adventure. Oddly enough, I grew up with a strong sense of self; so it surprised me, my friends, and my family. Trust in yourself. Don't lose sight of who you are throughout your freshman year. If you have already started making these mistakes, just remember… it is never too late to make changes and redeem yourself.

High School Graduates: Always reach for the impossible, make it possible!
With your high school graduation fast approaching and a future full of infinite possibilities before you, always remember to reach for what may seem to be impossible… take a chance. Just remember as you embark upon your future, your freshman year of college, that it's important to believe in yourself, in your vision for yourself! And when nay sayers try to discourage you or make you believe that your dreams are impossible, remember those are usually people who are too afraid to take a chance or who are possibly failing. Just think about all the successes in the world.
Ron Rice, Hawaiian Tropic
Did you know that Ron Rice started Hawaiian Tropic mixing his first batches in a trash can in his garage? Ron has grown Hawaiian Tropic into an internationally recognized brand, with over 125 products distributed around the world.
Debbi Fields, Mrs. Fields
Did you know that Debbi Fields, a young mother with no business experience, opened her first cookie store in Palo Alto, California in 1977, Mrs. Fields Cookies? Sound familiar? They told her she was crazy. No business could survive just selling cookies. She walked up and down the street with a plate of cookies asking pedestrians to try them. Her cookies are now sold worldwide, a leader in the industry.
"The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it." ~Debbi FieldsJohn Paul DeJoria, John Paul Mitchell Systems
Did you know that John Paul DeJoria, co-founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems was so short of cash during his business start up that he slept out of his car? He and his business partner Paul Mitchell had $700 between the two of them… just enough to pay their graphic designer for the label on their hair care products. The famous label is black and white because that's all they could afford. According to Forbes, their sales are estimated to be $900 million annually and Dejoria's personal worth at $4.2 billion.
Do I even need to go into facebook starting out in a dorm room? I think we know that story! As you move to campus and settle into your dorm room, just imagine the success stories that started right there.
My point… it's important in life to have faith, to believe in yourself, to pursue your dreams, to be positive, to be ethical, and respectful of others… in school, at home, and in your future business endeavors. Operating with integrity will always allow you to operate from a position of strength not weakness.
Congratulations on your success! I wish you continued success throughout your life and I hope you reach for the impossible... make it possible!

2 p.m., Monday–Thursday, Hall of Philosophy
The Interfaith Lecture Series is designed to present issues that impact the lived experience of everyday life from theological, religious, spiritual, ethical, and humanitarian perspectives. Find video and audio recordings of past lectures, including those from the current season, at our Online Grounds.
Interfaith Fridays
Why should the world be moving in an interfaith direction? Nine lectures, on nine Fridays, from nine leaders in nine different faith traditions will answer that question. Moderated by the Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, this lively and engaging conversation is also live-streamed on Facebook and archived at online.chq.org, so you can participate regardless of whether you are on the grounds or away.
View Interfaith Friday Lectures
Week One :: June 23 – 30
Producing a Living Faith Today?
Who is God in a world that has been shaped by Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Freud and Einstein? What does the Bible really say? How do you deal with the supernatural in a non-supernatural world? If God is all-powerful, why is there suffering? What does resurrection mean? What does it mean to be raised into God? Christianity is bound up with these questions, and these are the questions to be raised in this week guided by John Shelby Spong, former Episcopal bishop of Newark.
View Week One Interfaith Lectures
Week Two :: June 30 - July 7
Religion and American Identity
Religion has played a significant role in the evolution of an America identity. This week we will examine the role that religion has played in the development of that identity. Why is it that America continues to be the most religious nation in the developed world? How have various "moments" in American religious history shaped how America understands itself? We will begin with current data that will help us to know better who we have become, and who we are becoming.
View Week Two Interfaith Lectures
Week Three :: July 7–July 14
The Spirituality of Play
For Jews and Christians the notion of Sabbath is inscribed in the heart of the Ten Commandments and, therefore, in the heart of both religions — but how is this commandment differently understood and observed by each? How do we utilize the discipline of "taking a Sabbath day" to make space in an over-scheduled world? Why does this commandment insist on keeping the Sabbath Day holy — and how does one do that? How do faith traditions other than Judaism and Christianity relate to play? In this week we will discover that play is a necessary component of being human, and, perhaps, that play is therefore holy.
View Week Three Interfaith Lectures
Week Four :: July 14 – July 21
Russia and Its Soul
Described by the West for decades as 'Godless Russia,' post-Soviet Russia has revealed that it had never actually lost its soul. In what multiple ways is this resurrected religiosity being manifested, and what else is it gradually releasing? In this week we journey into the broad heart of the Russian people.
View Week Four Interfaith Lectures
Week Five :: July 21 – July 28
The Ethics of Dissent
When one is dissenting in the public realm, morally, what can one do, what must one do, what must one not do? In what circumstances (ever?) does the end justify the means? When trying to change minds about something, what must never be violated, what line must never be crossed? In this week we will seek to discern what an effective "ethics of dissent" can look like.
View Week Five Interfaith Lectures
Week Six :: July 28 – August 4
A Spirituality of Work
Judaism and Christianity, as well as other faith traditions, espouse various perspectives regarding the nature of work. What are the practices and disciplines within religions which foster an understanding of work as inherently spiritual? Does the American spirit of rugged individualism help or hurt in understanding our relationship to work? Why do Americans seem to overly identify with their jobs? Why does "What do you do?" almost immediately follow asking someone their name? Why do people (and especially men) often experience a spiritual crisis upon retirement and the ending of "work" as a focus of their lives? Does economic inequality or wealth associated with work impact us spiritually? This week will strive to help us uncover the spiritual nature of our working lives.
View Week Six Interfaith Lectures
Week Seven :: August 4 – August 11
Let Them Eat Cake? Defining the Future of Religious Freedom in the U.S.
The Supreme Court's decision on the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, in which a Colorado baker refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding, claiming it violated his right to practice his religion, will have been announced in June 2018. That decision will set the trajectory of the American religious world for years to come, defining the constitutional understanding of First Amendment protections for religious liberty, and determining its limits as balanced against other rights. We will explore both sides of the argument presented at the Supreme Court, and seek to understand the Court's ruling and how it will impact religion in the future.
View Week Seven Interfaith Lectures
Week Eight :: August 11 – August 18
Not to Be Forgotten: A Remembrance on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In this 50th anniversary year of his assassination we honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. What have we forgotten about the messages taught by Dr. King in the 1960s? What did we fail to learn about race in America, at our own peril? Why do current day Americans love to quote from the "early King" and "I Have a Dream," but steer away from Dr. King's later understandings about the intersection of race, war and poverty? Let us remember, at this time in our history, in order that we might truly begin to live his dream.

Week Nine :: August 18 – August 26
The Intersection of Cinema and Religious Values
Religious values continue to be a potent influence in the minds of young, contemporary filmmakers in modern America. How have these filmmakers navigated the difficult and sensitive waters of religion to bring these films to the screen? What effects are these films having? In this week we will witness the power of the visual narrative to change hearts and minds.

Chautauqua provides a wide variety of services of worship and programs that express the Institution's Christian heritage as well as its interfaith commitment. The Institution, originally the Chautauqua Lake Sunday School Assembly, was founded as an educational experiment in out-of-school, vacation learning for Sunday School teachers.
While founders Lewis Miller and John Heyl Vincent were Methodists, other Protestant denominations participated from the first year onward, and today Chautauqua continues to be ecumenical — as well as interfaith — in spirit and practice.
The chaplains invited for the 2018 season once again represent intended theological, denominational, gender, racial and ethnic diversity, as well as ministerial context. As always, the Department of Religion's commitment to diversity in gender, race and theological perspective is clear. The philosophy of the Department of Religion, from the beginning, has embraced and manifested the belief that an expression of these diversities is key to Chautauqua's future.

Each summer, the CLSC chooses nine books of literary quality and invites the authors to Chautauqua present their work to an audience of approximately 1,000 readers.
Chautauqua's programs for youth present a diversity of activity, in settings varied and historic. From pre-school to day camp, from sports instruction to informal youth centers, from enrichment classes to entertainment, and from reading to experiences in the arts, these programs offer opportunities to explore the Chautauqua experience. At the same time, youth are encouraged to grow in independence, make choices, take responsibility and celebrate family time, all in the safe and supportive community that is Chautauqua.
Chautauqua provides a wide variety of services of worship and programs that express the Institution's Christian heritage as well as its interfaith commitment. The Institution, originally the Chautauqua Lake Sunday School Assembly, was founded as an educational experiment in out-of-school, vacation learning for Sunday School teachers. While founders Lewis Miller and John Heyl Vincent were Methodists, other Protestant denominations participated from the first year onward, and today Chautauqua continues to be ecumenical — as well as interfaith — in spirit and practice.
October 27, 2015
The Department of Religion is co-sponsoring with Nazareth College a "Mini-Chautauqua in Rochester" program from 1:30 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, at the Otto Shults Community Center Forum on the Nazareth campus.

text: Some thoughts on MDM in Office 365 Posted on 10/31/2014 @ 11:10 AM in #SharePoint by Sahil Malik | Feedback | 2116 views I can't say I am anything but thrilled, excited, and tickled to Microsoft's attention and action on cross platform app & device management and and SDKs by Microsoft announced at Tech Ed Europe.Save you some time, go to this video, and watch it 1hour 40 minutes onwards - http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/Europe/2014/KEY01 When you are done watching, come back here! Seriously! Wow!? Isn't it? Enterprise class MDM, included in Office 365! On top of that, standard mechanism to normalize everyone to Azure AD. Over the past few years, enterprise apps have been very challenging. Too many IT administrators are trying or let me correct myself STRUGGLING to find the right way to manage mobile apps. Some have settled on stop gap products (names not mentioned here), and many are trying to solve connectivity challenges etc. My advice for the past few years, and today and in the future is – Seriously people, upgrade to Office 365, buy into Azure AD, and get on with the program. Wake up and smell the coffee. You will find Office 365 VERY tempting soon as your EA expires, might as well start your homework today. By getting on the consistent bandwagon of Office 365 and Azure AD, not only do you make my job easier, you also, Save boatloads of money, Are in good hands when it comes to security Are opening yourself up to standards based authentication and device management Simplifying your life. In the meanwhile, while you are not on Office 365, the best advice I can give you is, !STAY FAR AWAY FROM HOME COOKED SECURITY PROTOCOLS! Standards Standards Standards. If your vendor doesn't have a clear upgrade path to standards based security, and is not following standard security protocols such as OAuth2.0, you are pigeon-holing yourself in for lots and lots of future pain. Ask your vendor, how will their app work with Office 365 in the future. If they can't give you a less than 100 word clear cut answer, cut and run like hell.

A dress shirt is simply a buttoned up shirt with a collar, long sleeves and a wrist cuff. The shirt is usually made from cotton fabric and dyed into various patterns and colors. However, more expensive dress shirts are made from silk. Most people buy mass produced dress shirts as they are cheaper to purchase, so they do not necessarily wear the best fitting shirts. The best shirts to wear are the tailored shirts as they will cater for the individuals own body shape.
The perfect shirt should have a two finger space in the collar when buttoned. Have a tight enough wrist so that that the buttons should be undone in order to release the shirt. The arm length should not bunch more than 1 inch at the sleeve when the arms are extended. The shoulder points should extend only to the end of the shoulder. There should be 1-3 inches of spare shirt in the chest and waist when fully buttoned. The most commonly produced dress shirt is a plain white shirt. It is perfect for any formal occasion as the shirt will always look smart and will go well with most accompanying suits or blazers.
Not far behind the solid color pattern is the striped shirt which can be seen to look more casual. It does however convey a sense of business and success, and is popular in the big companies. The most relaxed pattern of shirt is the check shirt. These shirts give the greatest variety of design and also allow the wearer the freedom to use the shirt in more relaxed settings. However, it does give the purchaser the greatest problem in choosing the right combination of suit, tie and shirt in order to avoid a fashion statement disaster.
The cuffs can either be the single cuffs which are buttoned into place or the more formal double option which are held in place by cufflinks. People who work in the high end institutions tend to wear cufflinks and double cuffs as the cufflinks gives an opportunity to portray an image of style. The dress shirt has proved to be big business and has attracted major companies who have supplied the shirts to the market. The largest seller of dress shirts in the world today is Van Heusen and they have been in operation since 1910.
The original company started when Dutch immigrant John Van Heusen met and teamed up with established shit maker Isaac Phillips. By 1919 they had patented their own collar and in 1921 they were set up with their famous advertising slogan "the World's Smartest Collar". In 1974 Queen Elizabeth issued the company a Royal Warrant and they were appointed the official clothier of Buckingham Palace. Today the company has over 300 stores in 70 different stores with sales of over a billion US dollars each year.
In 2011 the company was renamed PVH, the Phillips Van Heusen Corporation, and is now a public company acquiring other major retail outlets such as Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Speedo and Arrow. Van Heusen is not the only large dress shirt manufacturers in the world today, but it is a great example of a company that has grown with the industry. Due to its own creativity in production it has been supplying shirts to the public for nearly a century now and this never ending market means that the success of the company appears to be fairly certain for the foreseeable future.

Wealth Management News
Tax-free pensions for those looking to retire abroad
City Wire recently reported on the news that the number of UK citizens choosing to retire abroad is likely to increase over the coming months, partly as a result of the new pensions freedoms announced earlier this year.
The new pension rules have had an unexpected advantage for British retirees looking to spend their later years in sunnier climes. One of the most appealing countries to retire in is currently Portugal, thanks to its 'non-habitual residence regime´ (NHR) - a promise that foreigners won´t have to pay tax on any non-Portugese income for ten years.
James Porter, an expert from expat advice firm Blevin Franks, explains that although this option has been available for six years, it will be more popular now that retirees can access their pension pots whenever they wish, allowing them to live off their savings for a decade tax-free.
According to government figures, there are currently some 39,000 UK expats living in Portugal, which is very little compared to the one million in Spain. However, Porter warns those considering Spain that the Spanish government has imposed a severe wealth tax of 2.5% on global assets.
France, another popular retirement destination, also has wealth taxes similar to the mansion tax in the UK, but that also levy furniture, jewellery and cash. The charges start at 0.5% for those with €800,000 to €1.3 million, but can reach as much as 1.5%.
Of course, one advantage of living in either France or Spain is that families are taxed, as opposed to individuals - meaning that allowances and tax burdens can be shared between a husband and wife, for example.
Porter predicts that we could be on the brink of a pensioner exodus as more people realise the financial savings that can be made by retiring abroad. Although this trend could have occurred 18 months ago, factors such as banking crises and an uncertain European economy had made people cautious.
Now though, he explains, "the [euro] has dropped against sterling so your money is worth 25% more. Property has dropped… in Spain it is down 65% […] Then you throw in pension freedom and it becomes a no-brainer."

Robots may have a spring in their steps very soon!September 6th, 2008 - 3:20 pm ICT by ANI
London, September 6 (ANI): Scientists have created a new design for robot legs, which would involve the use of steel cable tendons and built-in springs, to remove the hindrance that robotic machines face while walking.
One of the greatest barriers facing roboticists is the art of walking.
Legs with joints driven by motors struggle to recycle energy during walking in the way biological legs with springy tendons and muscles do.
But, according to a report in New Scientist, a new design driven by steel cable tendons and with built-in springs could provide the answer.
The spring is important. Thats something that is fundamental to being able to run in an efficient way, said Jonathan Hurst, a roboticist at Oregon State University, Oregon.
Studies of humans walking and running show that our tendons and muscles store and release up to 40 per cent of the total energy expended. Other animals, for example kangaroos, recycle even more.
Programming the motors in a robot leg to produce a springy gait is possible, but they waste a lot of energy doing it and results are poor, according to Hurst.
Hursts robot legs use actual springs to store and release energy. The most advanced is called the Electric Cable Differential Leg a single leg with a knee joint.
The body of the leg contains motors that drive the knee indirectly using metal cables, and two fibreglass springs made from the same material as archers bows. The springs store and release energy as the leg hops.
Hurst created three of the robot legs while a student at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. One of them, called Thumper, joined him for his new appointment at Oregon State and is attached to a boom that prevents it from falling left or right, but not to the front or back.
Two others, teamed up to build a biped called MABEL, are at the lab of Hursts collaborator, Jessy Grizzle, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
The springs inside each leg can store a kilojoule of energy per kilogram, enough that a 75-gram spring can easily store the energy required for a single hop.
To get the required power from a motor alone would require a motor that weighed 30 times as much as the spring.
Grizzle is working on the control algorithms that give these robots a sense of balance.
He said that the bipedal robot MABEL walks well on even ground. The next step is to get it to walk well on uneven terrain, and eventually to run.
Thats where the springs will help us a lot, walking on rough ground. Theres a natural shock absorber there, he explained. MABEL is a leap in advanced leg design and will help researchers to create running robots with more efficient, animal-like gaits, he added. (ANI)

I hate reading documentation that has code errors and/or sample output that is incorrect. I tried something new with this project and wrote a quick parser that can lint sample source code or execute and inject the actual result into a generated doc.
Don't make changes to the
[a-z]+.htmlfiles directly!!
Change the associated
[a-z]+.src.html and then use the
generate.php script to generate the new
[a-z]+.html file. It can be run at the command line using
php generate.php from the project root when in the
gh-pages branch. Maybe someday I'll extract this out to another project or at least run it with a post receive hook, but for now its just a local tool, deal with it.
The commands are quickly explained below. To see some examples you can view the raw
docs/index.src.html file in this repo.
lint command is meant for confirming the code is valid and will
eval() the code passed into the function. Assuming there were no errors, the executed source code will then be injected back into the text replacing out the
{{::lint()}}. When you look at the raw
docs/index.src.html you will see that the code can span several lines. Remember the code is executed in the context of the running script so any variables will be available for the rest of the file.
{{::lint($var = 'brian nesbitt';)}} => $var = 'brian nesbitt';
As mentioned the
$varcan later be echo'd and you would get 'brian nesbitt' as all of the source is executed in the same scope.
exec command begins by performing an
eval() on the code passed into the function. The executed source code will then be injected back into the text replacing out the
{{varName::exec()}}. This will also create a variable named
varName_eval that you can then place anywhere in the file and it will get replaced with the output of the
eval(). You can use any type of output (
var_dump etc) statement to return the result value as an output buffer is setup to capture the output. As a shortcut, you also can use simply
{{::exec()}} with no varName then display the last executed result with
{{::exec(echo $var;)}} => echo $var;
{{eval}} => brian nesbitt // $var is still set from above
{{exVarName_eval}} => 2 // named eval can be display before the execution or after many other executions
{{exVarName::exec(echo 2;)}} => echo 2;
{{::exec(echo 3;)}}
{{otherName::exec(echo 4;)}}
{{exVarName_eval}} => 2 // no matter where it's positioned, it always refers to exVarName::exec result
pad() is a special source modifier. This will pad the code block to the indicated number of characters using spaces. Its particularly handy for aligning
// comments when showing results.
{{exVarName1::exec(echo 12345;/*pad(20)*/)}} // {{exVarName1_eval}}
{{exVarName2::exec(echo 6;/*pad(20)*/)}} // {{exVarName2_eval}}
... would generate to:
echo 12345; // 12345
echo 6; // 6
Apart from the docs the typical steps can be used to contribute your own improvements.

I blog on life and non duality aspect of consciousness. I run couple of brick and mortar business. I love trekking, travelling, sharing life experiences and make people realize how immensely potent humans are to achieve both material and spiritual fulfillment.
I had been once where you are now and I know exactly what it is to be stuck, unhappy, miserable, clueless and helpless. With no clarity of how to proceed whether it is life, career or relationship it is quiet natural to feel low and torn. Do not fret it is not end of world. Your very search to find the missing piece is proof enough that deep down your innate intelligence knows there is a solution.

No matter what worldly expertise you have if your mind is disturbed and clueless you would end up performing below par and being unhappy. Attempting to function in this world without having understood the nature of your mind is like running the race with blindfolds. Without fixing the root of the issue doing more of the cosmetic on the surface will only aggravate frustration and helplessness.
The root of any problem – life, career, business, relationship – is always in the mind. It is always internal. Applying a fix on the external will not solve any problem.
My approach would be take you into the very realms of your mind to showcase how inadvertently you are creating your own self defeating acts. I will make you aware how you had been the sole cause for bad career, decisions, abusive relationships and how you have always been the enemy within. You more ...

When someone recommended a life coach I laughed it out. I thought that was funny. I am a successful and wealthy entrepreneur and who should teach me how to live. If at all it would be me who could teach others to be successful. Well when we bumped at each other at a social gathering I still remember how I tried to pull a fast one on you but I was pleasantly surprised about your calmness and you were cooler than ice. I put myself in that situation and wondered if I could do that. The answer was no. My entire perception changed forever. I knew then if I had that calmness I would be able to be lot more productive at work, make better decisions and handle life situations with ease. I just didn't know the immense strength of inner peace. I know I haven't touched the pinnacle yet but I have seen unbelievable results both in professional and personal life. My profits doubled in the last three years and have opened 12 more branches. There is lot more free time for my family and especially my kids. I still set aside me time and it helps me to rejuvenate and bring clarity. Thanks Sen.
