Why is there NO NBA, NFL or Soccer Jersey for sale on Aliexpress
For a long time, AliExpress used to be the best online shop from where you could buy original and replica sports jerseys from China at a very reasonable price. AliExpress used to have tons of jerseys of all kinds be it NBA jersey or NFL ones. However, these days it has become real hard to come across a jersey on their website and the few you get aren't worth buying. So many Aliexpress fans are wondering what has happened to all those fabulous jerseys? Have they stopped selling them altogether?…Read More

I've just read a truly attrocious article in The Independent that suggests 11 things that students should buy.
It provides suggestions such as 'Fairtrade produce' and a 'toastie press'. I'm assuming that the writer has either never actually been to university or was in the somewhat privileged position of their parents paying for everything!
So, as clearly any monkey can produce these kinds of lists I thought I would free of charge (there aren't any ads on this website, after all!).
As a student you will cook a LOT of pasta. And rice. And (if you can find it cheap enough and in large bags) cous cous. But cooking these things takes up valuable time you could spend studying, drinking or procrastinating on Reddit or Twitter.
A big time-saver therefore is to cook in bulk and then store food in plastic containers. You can pick up half a dozen of them for less than a fiver from places like Wilkinson, or you can even use your old lunchbox from school or sixth form college.
As the previous point suggested, the most economic foods you can buy are pasta, rice, noodles and large bags of cous cous. They taste bland as hell, so you can shake things up a bit with store-brand jars of pasta sauce, salt, pepper or Tabasco sauce. Forget the idea of buying meat - the only meat you can afford comes shredded up in a tin floating in a bland curry sauce.
Okay, this is one point where The Independent and I agree. Having access to your own printer means you aren't constantly paying the university's exorbitant rates for 'printer credits', and you have the safety of knowing you can print out your work at the last minute in emergencies without frantically stressing out that you can't get on one of the university machines.
I recommend cheap HP printers personally as the cartridges aren't too expensive and you'll still be able to buy compatible refills by the end of a 3-4 year course. Also, before replacing a cartridge that claims it's empty try taking it out, shaking it and putting it back in again. This can eek out an extra 10-20 pages or so.
(If you don't have one already). Forget about desktop PCs - you're probably going to be living in a different place every year and you're going to need to move your computer back home every summer too. A laptop not only fits into this scenario being lightweight and not taking up extra room, but also means you can bring it around a mate's house to study as a group or to lectures to catch up on Facebook ...I mean take down notes!
If you're prone to RSI or have more specialist needs you can always pick up a portable wired mouse and keyboard kit from Argos for around £10-15 (avoid wireless units unless you're happy to regularly spend money on replacing batteries).
Also, when you're buying expensive electrical items like this double-check for student discounts. Apple has its own education store and the likes of PC World, Sony, Toshiba, Acer and Dell will usually apply a discount after you've provided some sort of proof you're a student.
Your fellow housemates will probably eat anything expensive in the communal fridge, drink your milk or get drunk, run out of booze and move onto yours. This is your private luxury to store those things you steadfastly want to consume yourself. It might set you back around £30, but you'll thank me later for suggesting this.
Use this to list all your deadlines and exam dates and hang it somewhere you can see it (preferably next to your work desk). If that isn't motivation I don't know what is! The cheapest whiteboard I've seen is a £3 one you can pick up at Wilkinson. Avoid magnetic whiteboards unless you want to pay through the nose.
It doesn't need to be an expensive one. It can run iOS, Android, Windows Phone or whatever other platform happens to be the next big thing - It's important you have one. The main reason is that you can use it as an alarm, but you can also install your timetable on it to remind you where you need to be. It's also important that whatever the state of WiFi coverage you're able to receive university emails, use a Maps application to find your way back home after a night out and play music at a party! A smartphone also helps you avoid forking out for other gadgets (such as a digital camera).
A mobile phone in general is important as you're unlikely to have a landline available at your student accommodation, so calls home or to friends you make at university would otherwise be impossible. If even this seems a little extravagant then take a look at Skype and instant messaging from your laptop.
You may wrinkle your nose and gesture a certain finger at me for saying this, but forget any ideas you had about buying fairtrade or free range food while you're at university.
The likes of Taste the Difference or Waitrose food are even further removed from student reality. Think Tesco Everyday Value and Sainsbury's Basics ranges ...if you haven't already heard of Lidl or Aldi, you will have done by the time you leave university!
I can tell you from experience that store brand products can be hit and miss. There are handy workarounds for most things. Baked beans can be mixed with ketchup to thicken it up. Store-brand curry tastes a lot less like you're eating something you'd feed your dog if you add some of that Tabasco sauce you bought earlier. You will no doubt find some tricks of your own as you readjust your tastes to fit your budget.
Avoid buying microwave ready meals as they take up a lot of your weekly shopping budget. Also, buying booze to 'pre-drink' (i.e. get tipsy with some friends before you hit the bars and clubs) is a great way to keep control of your spending and save money.
Does this really need an explanation? Some paper, highlighters, a stapler and a few pens are helpful. You should buy more specialist equipment like protractors, calculators, etc only if your subject requires them (you can use the calculator app on your smartphone for assignment work, but you'll need the real deal if you're doing an exam).
Okay, this isn't really something you "spend money on" (although saving is technically you lending your bank money...), but your student bank account is going to be your chief source of income as it provides an interest-free overdraft and a place for your student loan to arrive. You should use Martin Lewis's money saving website to compare the best accounts, but make sure you're able to bank online. The main benefit of this is it enables you to track your bank balance in real time and ensure you keep within budget ...or at the very least don't go into non-arranged overdraft territory, which your bank will charge you for.
In short, just because you're a student and poor doesn't mean you get to skip paying things you have to. In particular...
If you're watching live TV in the UK either through a TV or your laptop via BBC iPlayer or ITV Player then you must pay your TV License or you're open to fines in the thousands (in student halls you will get checked!).
You have to pay a year up front, but you can claim back 3 months at the end of it (as being a student you're only resident in the same place for 9 months in the year). You can save money by either confining yourself strictly to watching TV programmes after they've been broadcast with services like Netflix or LoveFilm or if the TV's in a communal area you could split the cost with your housemates.
To me it doesn't make much sense to insist students pay for a TV License as it's like an unnecessary 'student tax'. But then I don't think the BBC would collapse if it showed adverts instead, so take that opinion as you will...
Before investing in this double-check with your parents that your valuables aren't already covered by their home insurance. If they aren't then it's recommended you at least consider insuring your valuables. This is because it's very easy to lose things around campus or on drunken nights out, and also because thieves know to target student accommodation between terms because people are less likely to be in or report the theft in a timely manner.
If you're going to be late on your rent, make sure you tell your landlord. Lettings agencies in particular tend to charge interest on late payments, so don't get caught out. If Student Loans Company seems to be taking its time, make sure you get in touch with them to make sure they pay out.
Similarly, if you damage something tell your landlord straight away. This ensures that you maintain a good relationship with them, and they're less likely to penalize you at the end of the year when you ask for your deposit back! (Also, make sure you ask for your deposit back. Even the best landlords and lettings agencies aren't going to be falling over themselves to hand it back to you!)
If you're living in halls accommodation then your university should issue a list of things you do and don't need. For private accommodation you should ask this at the viewing stage or get in touch with your landlord about it.
Also, double-check what is included in the rent. Some private landlords skip broadband, electricity or water. Some pay your TV License for you. It's all in the rental agreement you sign before the start of your tenancy.
Here are some things you can spend your money on, but don't have to:
So, I hope someone out there found this helpful. This comes from 4 years of experience at university (well, one year was spent on work placement in Belgium ...so technically 3).
The last piece of advice I can give is to sell your car if you own one before coming to university. The main reason is this is a money pit, and unless you're working in a part-time job to cover this and are living far enough away from the campus then all you're paying for is an expensive shopping trolley!
Edit: Final, final piece of advice: Don't be afraid to freeze things. So long as it's not a pork product you've previously defrosted you can freeze almost anything. Bread is a particularly good candidate I've found. Though you should make sure you defrost slices in the microwave first before putting it in the toaster!

A person's true character is revealed when no one else is watching.
That's hardly an original thought. John Wooden uttered words to that effect, and so too have dozens of coaches and amateur philosophers.
Watching Fresno State quarterback Brian Burrell over these past few weeks, that's the phrase that comes to mind.
Burrell leads the Bulldogs into Saturday night's Mountain West Conference showdown at Nevada coming off the best game of his brief career. The junior completed 20 of 26 passes (by far his highest rate) for 207 yards and three touchdowns against San Jose State. His most gritty play may have been a 9-yard run on Fresno State's opening drive that left him hobbled for the rest of the game — and more than a week afterward.
"He's a real tough dude," receiver Josh Harper said. "He'll lower his shoulder, take a hit and get right back up. It just rubs off on everybody."
There were 36,909 at Bulldog Stadium that night, and each can attest to Burrell's toughness.
But my largest insight into Burrell's character came more than a week prior. It was a Tuesday afternoon, if I recall, just two days after Burrell was benched in favor of redshirt freshman Zack Greenlee. The announcement was splashed across the front page of the Sunday sports section.
Waiting in the parking lot outside the practice field, I noticed two players exiting the locker room well before any of their teammates. They were Burrell, the quarterback who just got demoted, and Brandon Connette, the quarterback who didn't work out quite right on the field.
If Burrell's intent was to pout, there are more effective ways to go about it than being the first guy out to practice.
It wasn't.
"We're not going to get down or let our teammates see us get down," said Burrell, including good friend Connette in his statement. "We're going to keep working hard and rooting on our teammates. That's just how it is."
Clearly, Burrell wasn't happy to lose the starting job. But he didn't go home and mope on the couch or pound his fists on the kitchen counter.
He kept working. That shows character.
"Definitely I was a little disappointed," Burrell said. "Other than that, I trust the coaches' decision. I know Zack is a good player and is going to be a really good one. So I respected that."
Tim DeRuyter certainly noticed.
"Brian probably didn't agree with it, although he didn't say anything," Fresno State's third-year head coach said. "That's not him. But he took it. I told him, 'We need you to keep improving, keep fighting.'
"I told him there's two ways you can go with this. You can pout and say, 'Hey, I'm getting screwed.' Or you can say, 'Look, I've got to reevaluate where I'm at and keep getting better.' That's what he did. A lot of guys wouldn't have."
Burrell, of course, reclaimed the starting job. That he played his best game the following week cannot be mere coincidence.
This season has been tough sledding for Burrell and the offense. Even after the San Jose State game, his 120.90 passing efficiency rating ranks seventh in the MW.
You can argue Burrell has played well in only two games — against the Spartans and New Mexico. The Bulldogs have started sluggishly most of the year, going three-and-out six times on opening drives, and inconsistent quarterback play has been a major reason.
So I'm not saying Burrell will make Fresno State fans forget about Derek Carr.
What I'm saying is this is a gritty guy who works hard to get the most out of his ability. And he's improving.
"More than anything, I think I'm trusting myself more," Burrell said. "At the beginning of the year, I would be reserved to throw a pass. (Offensive coordinator Dave Schramm) would ask me on the sideline, 'What did you see?' And when I told him, I saw that I'd be right.
"Now I'll see the play, react to it and find the open guy. I'll throw the ball on time a little bit better than I have been. Getting the ball out of my hands is a big thing I've been working on."
Passing accuracy will always be an issue with Burrell. (It's one reason we don't see those bubble screens the Bulldogs used to run so well.) He's the type of quarterback who must have his feet set and mechanics nearly perfect for the ball to go where he wants it.
Toughness is something Burrell does innately. He doesn't shy from contact and isn't timid about sticking his facemask among two or more defenders no matter the consequences.
"When your quarterback is taking a punishment and getting right back up, it fires up the entire team," Harper said. "It rallies everybody around him."
Burrell was limping noticeably following the San Jose State game and didn't really run on his sore leg until Tuesday's practice.
Still, it's impossible to miss the extra pep in his step.
"He's got a resolve," DeRuyter said. "He's a guy that's extremely gutty. He fights through when he has pains. He's very, very determined. He works at it, and when adversity hits he doesn't let it affect him.
"I'm very impressed with his character."
Bulldogs fans should be, too.

Title: White Cat
Series: Curse Workers, #1
Author: Holly Black
Genre: Young Adult, Urban Fantasy
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
Release Date: May 4th, 2010
Format: Audiobook
Length: 310 pages | 6 hours 43 minutes

Cassel comes from a family of curse workers: people who have the power to change your emotions, your memories, your luck, by the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they're all criminals. Many become mobsters and con artists. But not Cassel. He hasn't got magic, so he's an outsider; the straight kid in a crooked family. You just have to ignore one small detail – he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago.
Cassel has carefully built up a facade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his facade starts to crumble when he finds himself sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He's noticing other disturbing things, too, including the strange behavior of his two brothers. They are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect he's part of a huge con game, he must unravel his past and his memories. To find out the truth, Cassel will have to outcon the conmen.
I have to get this out of the way right away- part of my not enjoying this book more than I did is because the narrator is not good. He's a famous actor, but his idea of pacing is galloping at breakneck speed without any differentiation between interior and exterior voice for the MC, and without differentiation between character voices. So mostly it sounded unemotional and was confusing to listen to. If you read it, don't listen to the audiobook.
OK, now that's out of the way. White Cat had an interesting world concept (magic is real, requires the laying on of hands, and is banned as universally evil) and an interesting MC concept (Cassel is part of a family of curseworker con artists, and he's the only one without magic). Ultimately, it failed to engage me emotionally.
Cassel is snarky but without compelling vulnerability. Sure, his quips and vague, unambitious life are amusing to a point, but when the stakes got high, I got bored. Literally every other character in here is barely developed (except maybe his grandad, who is a bit of a mystery) and I found myself struggling to care. Probably the most interesting thing was the dynamic of their jailed con artist mom with her kids- believably manipulative and a bit broken. But that only shows up, really, in the final chapter of the book.
My lasting impression was 'meh', so I won't be continuing the series.
Rating: C
I'm a coffee-fueled, hobby-addicted bibliophage who makes cruelty-free mineral eye shadows (inspired by novels). I'm usually in front of a screen (writing, reading, or gaming), but I've been known to emerge for geekery, good food, and dark chocolate.

Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, July 7, 2017 – It is now official, Yannick Léger returns for
Good to the Hydro 350 class, at least for the next three years. He who should have been a simple backup driver for the Octane Stratégies race team has acquired the H32 , It's Life with all its equipment which was the property of Stanislas Dorais in 2017.
"I started to regret having sold my equipment to Richard St-Vincent last summer, "commented a smiling Yannick Léger. "When Sylvain Dorais was named Judge I consulted with my wife Isabelle and we decided to take the leap. "
Léger entered into a partnership with the Valleyfield Regatta Organization to retain the PBH 2012 hull that had been partially rebuilt at the Auld-Henderson workshops in 2016.
Yannick Léger will drive the famous blue boat with the same colors until the end of this season. He will then rename the boat Supernova in 2018 and it will remain as such till 2020. The team is looking to have some exceptional performances by the end of the season to help them to find a new sponsor to replace the public relations firm Octane Stratégies that supported Sylvain Dorais during his 7 seasons on the hydroplane circuit.
Remember that Léger has an impressive track record having finished three times in the top 3 in the Hydro 350 class Championship in 2013, 2014 and 2016, in addition to receiving Team of the Year Award voted by the members of the league and awarded at the 2014 Gala.

The fairytale has notably been stripped of all fantastic elements. Much effort is made to make it seem a realistic fairy-tale instead of playing up the colourful pageantry as many previous attempts have done, Andy Tennant plays it down. The film is photographed in dun, grey and green earth tones rather than for extravagant colour and the costumery is played for plain realism rather than opulence. Tennant also conducts the novel task of rooting the story in a pseudo-historical past there are appearances by Leonardo da Vinci and the Brothers Grimm, jokes about the Anglican divorce secession, whileThomas Mores Utopia (1516, 1551) plays an important part in the plot and is even quoted in chunks (probably the first for a film). Tennant also brings out the implied class discourse that exist in the original fairy-tale Cinderella is after all a fantasy about movement between the lowest of class (servanthood) and into the highest of class (marriage into the aristocracy) with Cinderella and the prince engaging in a series of lively debates about feudalism, slavery and royal decree. Tennant adds considerable depth to the fairytale the characters are all exceptionally well drawn, with considerable depths of shading being given to a usually one-dimensional character like the Wicked Stepmother. Many a lesser film would simply have stayed with puncturing the myth and left it at that but Tennant also manages the more difficult task of both having his cake and eating it by deconstructing the fairytale while also allowing the film to draw on the same romantic appeals and fantasy that the original story does too.
The film is also very well cast. Drew Barrymore may be the wrong actress for the part of Cinderella. She has a plain roundedness of looks, rather than the downcast beauty waiting to blossom that the role is all about. Drew seems to be abandoning her bad girl parts of recent years for light romantic leads in films like The Wedding Singer (1998), Home Fries (1998), Never Been Kissed (1999) and 50 First Dates (2004) but as an adult actress she never quite has the acting ability to do more than blush cutely. However, the part here is carried by a good deal of earnest good cheer on her part and the strength of the writing. All the supporting cast give fine performances. Anjelica Huston is on excellent form as the stepmother, giving a delicious performance of haughty cruelty without ever allowing the part to topple into one-dimensionality or caricature. Also of note is Melanie Lynskey who steals a number of scenes as the less socially adept stepsister there is a romance between her and a guard captain at the ball that is charmingly conducted as a series of horse whinnies.
This was Andy Tennants only venture into fantastic material. He has otherwise made films mostly in the light romantic comedy vein with the likes of It Takes Two (1995), Fools Rush In (1997), the lavish remake of Anna and the King (1999), Sweet Home Alabama (2002), Hitch (2005), Fools Gold (2008), The Bounty Hunter (2010) and Wild Oats (2016).

SEC prop bets for Week 7: Will Jalen Hurts outplay Josh Dobbs?
Four SEC teams are have byes this weekend, but there's plenty of action to be had with the other 10 as dual-threat quarterbacks square off and top rushers get another chance to put up sensational numbers.
With that in mind, betting on point spreads and the over/under on total points is fun, but for those looking for something different — have a stab at the prop bets from around the conference.
(All times ET)
Mississippi State at BYU (Friday, 10:15 p.m., ESPN)
Which is higher — Mississippi State QB Nick Fitzgerald completed passes or rush attempts
Completions -120
Rush attempts +200
Equal +400
Mississippi State's offense is basically just Fitzgerald and 10 other dudes. He has 74 completed passes and has 64 rush attempts through five games and the Bulldogs average just 12 more passing yards per game than rushing. In two games this season, Fitzgerald had as many or more rushing attempts as completed passes. Mississippi State needs to get other players involved in the offense, but Fitzgerald will undoubtedly call his own number several times against the Cougars.
Vanderbilt at Georgia (Noon, SEC Network)
More rushing yards — Georgia RB Nick Chubb or Vanderbilt RB Ralph Webb
Chubb +175
Webb -110
Before the season it would have seemed obvious to think that either Chubb or LSU's Leonard Fournette would be atop the conference in rushing yards. Instead, six weeks in we have Texas A&M freshman Trayveon Williams and Webb. Webb will likely get a heavier workload than Chubb as the Commodores pose no threat through the air. But Chubb is facing a much weaker run defense and had one of his better performances of the year last week against South Carolina with 121 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries.
No. 1 Alabama at No. 9 Tennessee (3:30 p.m., CBS)
More total yards — Alabama QB Jalen Hurts or Tennessee QB Josh Dobbs
Dobbs -150
Hurts +150
This freshman vs. senior showdown pits two of the conference's best dual-threat quarterbacks against one another. Dobbs is the slight favorite here because Hurts has just two games with double-digits carries, while Dobbs has five straight. Dobbs also has better passing numbers, but the biggest factor here is that Alabama defense allowing just 292.5 yards per game, while the Volunteers defense allows 399.3.
Missouri at No. 18 Florida
Florida defensive interceptions (4 p.m., SEC Network)
Over/Under 2.5
This Florida secondary is for real. The Gators allow just 139.8 yards through the air to opposing offenses and have a conference-best eight interceptions through five games led by Teez Tabor (three) and Quincy Wilson (two). Missouri leads the SEC by a wide margin in pass attempts (208) with Drew Locke, so the Gators should have plenty of opportunities for turnovers. But despite the high volume of attempts, Lock has thrown multiple interceptions just once this season — three in a 28-27 loss to Georgia.
No. 12 Ole Miss at No. 22 Arkansas (7 p.m., ESPN)
Ole Miss defensive sacks
Over/Under 3.5
Ole Miss is tied for 11th in SEC with just nine sacks this season, but this week they face a struggling Arkansas offensive line that allowed seven to Alabama just last week. This gamble could come down entirely to game flow. If Arkansas can find a way to build an early lead, expect running back Rawleigh Williams to carry the load for the Razorbacks against a Rebels run defense ranked 90th in the country. But if Chad Kelly comes out hot and forces Austin Allen (one of the most-pressured QBs in the nation according to Pro Football Focus) to drop back 61 times like he did against Alabama, this defensive front may be able to pad its stats.
Southern Mississippi at LSU (7:30 p.m., SEC Network)
LSU running backs who rush for more than 100 yards
Over/Under 1.5
We know one of the backs won't be Leonard Fournette. However, Derrius Guice and Darrel Williams proved themselves to be more than capable in the Tigers backfield when they each topped the century mark and scored three touchdowns against Missouri two weeks ago. Ed Orgeron has made it clear this offense will still be run-heavy and the Golden Eagles rank 69th in the country in rushing yards allowed per game (159.5). But will both Guice and Williams get the necessary workload, or will one take the feature role?

Stepping into the large shoes of Philip Johnson, the founding curator of MoMA's architecture department, might have seemed challenge enough for Barry Bergdoll, who took on the position in January. But he also had to contend with a weighty anniversary: the department turns 75 this year.
Rather than simply pay homage to this influential department, which now also includes design, or its succession of curators, he resolved to rethink its history. The result is "75 Years of Architecture at MoMA," a retrospective that recently opened on the museum's third floor.
"I don't want to send the signal that we're going to start a cycle of celebrating MoMA's past," Mr. Bergdoll said in an interview in the exhibition gallery. "But it allowed me to play with the permanent collection. It allowed me to think about my predecessors and take them on in a certain way."
His choices are likely to draw broad attention in the art and architecture world, given the tepid critical response to some of the department's exhibitions in recent years under his predecessor, Terence Riley. But Mr. Bergdoll said, "I don't in any way intend this to be a manifesto of what I'm going to do, or a platform on what the department should do."
Glenn D. Lowry, the Museum of Modern Art's director, said he welcomed Mr. Bergdoll's irreverent first effort. "It's both a celebration of the creation of the department and a kind of querying of the decisions the department has made — I think in a very positive and healthy way," Mr. Lowry said.Continue reading the main story
With drawings, models and wall text, the exhibition traces the department's collecting over 75 years. And here and there, it subtly challenges the thinking of some of Mr. Bergdoll's illustrious predecessors.
He argues, for example, that when Mr. Johnson and Henry-Russell Hitchcock mounted the museum's hugely important "Modern Architecture: International Exhibition" in 1932, they excluded some significant strains of Modernism.
Essentially, they defined what came to be known as the International Style by featuring the work of European modernists like Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius and J. J. P. Oud. In most cases, they selected buildings with radically simplified forms and an utter rejection of ornament.
Marginalized or ignored were 1920s and '30s Expressionism and Organicism, whose swirling or biomorphic forms have influenced modern architecture up to the present day, Mr. Bergdoll contends. "There are things outside their field of vision in 1932 that are fundamental now — and fundamental to the collection," he said. "I'm kind of critiquing the limits of their vision."
In response, his show's first thematic section, titled "Other Modernisms," includes colorful drawings of Mies's Eliat House (1925, unbuilt), whose long horizontal ribbon windows and flat roofs would become trademarks of Modernism, and Hugo Häring's Garkau Farm (1922-6), which rejected geometric forms in favor of asymmetrical spaces that would suit the grouping and feeding of livestock.
Then there is Hermann Finsterlin's Study for a House of Sociability (around 1920), a vividly colored plaster model of a biomorphic house whose form Mr. Finsterlin compared to rocks smoothed by glaciers.
"There are things that Hitchcock and Johnson essentially declared dead that went on," Mr. Bergdoll said. "I picked buildings that would never have been buildings allowed into their show."
"Urbanism," another theme, highlights mid-20th-century solutions for traffic and overcrowding in modern cities. "Hitchcock and Johnson in 1932 were not interested in an urban philosophy," Mr. Bergdoll said. "Their opening show emphasized the individual building."
Visitors can take in Marcel Breuer's 1929 project for Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, reorganized as a cloverleaf configuration of roadways with multilevel pedestrian walkways and densely packed modern apartments and offices.
This section also acknowledges the Latin American contribution to Modernist city design with examples like Le Corbusier's Urban Studies Project for Montevideo, which outlines a vast business center under a motorway that juts into the bay, or a design for São Paolo by the architect Oscar Niemeyer and the landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx, which included organically shaped planting beds, pathways and bodies of water.
"We tend to condemn urbanism as slabs and highways without a human dimension," Mr. Bergdoll said. "This shows a friendlier, even fun-loving side of modernism."
In ruminating on MoMA's architecture history, Mr. Bergdoll enlisted the help of graduate students at Columbia University, where he led a seminar this spring on the evolution of the museum's architecture and design shows. (He has taught at Columbia since 1985 and recently stepped down as chairman of the art history department.)
Each student was asked to devise a historical case study related to MoMA's architecture and design collection and forage through the museum archives.
In a student presentation on May 4, Patricio del Real discussed how indifferent the architecture and design department had been to Latin American influences over the decades. Even as Diego Rivera's colorful murals made their way into the department of painting and sculpture, Mr. del Real told fellow students, a lack of knowledge of Central and South America "was a problem for the architecture department."
Other student presentations on Modernist houses designed for display in MoMA's garden — the Breuer house in 1949, Gregory Ain's suburban home of 1950, a Japanese house in 1954 — tied into Mr. Bergdoll's enthusiasm for exploiting another outdoor space: a vacant lot adjacent to the museum that is expected to be sold to a developer. He plans to mount an exhibition on prefabricated buildings there in the summer of 2008. The show will explore the full range of prefab forms, Mr. Bergdoll said — from residential to emergency shelters to apartment houses — in styles from readymade to digital.
Mr. Lowry said of that planned exhibition, "This is the first real effort to use housing writ large really since the 1950s."
In the "75 Years" installation, Mr. Bergdoll also acknowledges another area that he says was largely skirted by the department's early curators: "Visionary Architecture." Utopian designs in general have made a strong comeback among architecture students, he noted, inspired by projects from the '60s and '70s.
"There's a kind of nostalgia for the optimism that's embodied in these," he said, citing things like Ron Herron's 1966 "Walking City on the Ocean," a collage of a metropolis featuring tanklike vehicles with skylights. "Hitchcock and Johnson were wary of underscoring anything to do with utopian thinking," Mr. Bergdoll said. "They worried that the American public would think Modernism was wild or crazy and would be dismissed as fairy-tale thinking or leftist."
The department was barely interested in collecting architectural drawings as artworks in its early days, Mr. Bergdoll says, but that philosophy gradually changed. He celebrates MoMA's collection of sketches and detailed renderings in the exhibition's final theme, "Art of Drawing." "I picked architects for whom drawing method became part of the very style of their architecture," he said. His choices range from Paul Rudolph's 1963 Brutalist art and architecture building at Yale to contemporary works sketched by Bernard Tschumi and Peter Eisenman.
Had there been a fifth wall available, Mr. Bergdoll said, he would have incorporated the age of digital design. But by looking back, he said, he has gained insight on how to move forward. "Every time you bring this stuff out, it's got another set of layers, another set of connections, another set of associations," he said.
"You think, 'Do I dare?' " he said. "And then you think, 'Actually, that's incredibly interesting — why not?' "Continue reading the main story

Positively Good Productions
"Making a Positively Good difference"
Words are tremendously powerful!
They have the power to help, hurt, heal,
encourage, strengthen, and build us up.
Words create impressions, images, and expectations.
Since thoughts determine actions,
there is a powerful connection between
the words we use and the results we get.
We speak so eagerly and so easily at times.
Unfortunately, more often than not,
those harmful, poorly chosen, and thoughtless utterances,
are often felt in the home environment.
In some homes...
obscene language, abusive speech,
and stinging sarcasms are considered the norm.
The result...
everyone involved is emotionally stirred.
Poorly timed, poorly chosen words,
and senseless chatter can kill enthusiasm,
cause deep emotional wounds, lower expectations,
break one's spirit, shatter self-esteem,
destroy relationships, it dissipates our energy,
and holds people back.
God has given most of us the gift of speech
and the ability to think.
This gift has value.
Speech is a gift
of such amazing value...
that it should not be used lightly
or carelessly.
Something carelessly expressed
in the heat of the moment...
could wound for a lifetime.
Words are compelling.
Words can build up or destroy.
Some words have power beyond the years,
beyond whatever changes we might make
to ourselves and our lives.
Words have a way of penetrating the very depths
of our being, for good or for evil.
Our words should be carefully chosen.
Our words are like seeds we sow,
and we never know which seeds will
grow... perhaps they all will.
there will be a harvest,
and our harvest will depend on
what we have sown...
good, bad, or indifferent.
Words have great impact for
good or ill.
The quality of our life
is the result of the seeds we have sown.
None of us can escape the harvest of
our own words!
Research shows that words have emotional,
physical, and spiritual impact.
Words are messengers;
they carry defeat, they bring worry, and death...
or transmit victory, peace, and life for many!
Words can cause physical changes in our body
and change the Spiritual atmosphere.
A thoughtless word...
can devastate one's life.
The deepest scars
are those we do not see.

Setting and accomplishing goals regularly is what helps users win at work. It keeps team members engaged, gives managers visibility into their reports' work, and keeps the company aligned in pursuit of set objectives.
Goal setting is the foundation of effective work, so creating goals has to be simple and fast. We have streamlined the goal creation process into a single page, so users no longer need to click back through windows to review a goal. Now they can thoughtfully create goals in one view.
- Name your goal by clicking into the first input field titled "What is the name of your goal?". To create an effective goal name use an active verb + outcome. For example: Hire 3 new salespeople in Q4.
- Enter in goal information now or start adding milestones. You'll notice a panel opening on the right when you type the name of a goal. Use this panel to describe the goal, align it to another goal, change the due date, add a category, and adjust your privacy settings. If you're creating goals for others in your company, you may change the owner by clicking the dropdown function and searching for team member names.
- Add goal detail information - some of these items may be required based on your company settings. We recommend putting in as much information in your goal even if it is optional for your environment.
- Category: If your company requires it, you must select a category for this goal. These are set by your administrator.
- Date range/period: These are defaulted to the end of the current quarter, but you can adjust the start and end dates. To edit either date, click to open the calendar and select a new date.
- Describe this goal: This section is great to use for any additional context, links to documents, or other notes that coworkers might find helpful.
- Alignment: Click the link Align this goal to another, and search for a person or goal you'd like this goal to contribute to.
- More Options: In here you'll find Progress Settings, which allow you to set a target for your goal. For example if "Hit $100,000 in sales this quarter" is your goal then you can set the target here. You will also find Permission Settings where you can set your goal to 'Private' (only you and your manager can see this goal) or 'Public' which is the default setting (everyone in your company can view that goal). For more information about Permissions, check out this article.
- Finish your goal by clicking Submit after entering all goal information and milestones. Milestones are action items that measure progress - we encourage 3-5 milestones that contribute to your goal. Users can set different metric options on milestones to measure accomplishment using numbers, units, and types of progress.
Optionally, assign milestones to teammates who plan to assist with the goal by clicking on the circle/picture next to the milestone and selecting their name from the search bar. For more information, read Creating milestones.
That's it! It's a brand new goal.

The Smart Schools Bond Act was passed in the 2014-15 Enacted NYS Budget and approved by the voters in a statewide referendum held during the 2014 General Election November 4, 2014. The Smart Schools Bond Act (SSBA) authorized the issuance of $2 billion of general obligation bonds to finance improved educational technology and infrastructure to improve learning and opportunity for students throughout the State. The Syracuse City School District will receive an allocation of $27,150,068 to improve learning and opportunity for students by funding capital projects.
The Syracuse City School District is required to submit a Smart Schools Investment Plan (SSIP) to demonstrate how Smart Schools Bond Act funds will be used to provide the educational tools and opportunities students throughout the District will need to succeed in the 21st century economy. The District is currently in the process of assessing the Technology needs at each school building to develop a Comprehensive Technology Plan. The results of the assessments will be the basis in determining the Districts needs and incorporating them into the SSIP.
The SSBA Guidelines may be downloaded here; or, visit the NYSED SSBA website for additional information.

The musical "13" is about finding your place.
Taking a cue from the musical's characters, the cast and crew of Olathe South High School's production of "13" brought their individual talents to the show, onstage and off.
They found their places so well that the group was invited to perform on the main stage at next week's Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Neb., and was honored as Outstanding Overall Production from the Starlight Theatre's Blue Star Awards.
The festival is put together each year by the Educational Theatre Association to showcase the best high school theater productions from around the country. This year, Olathe South's"
13" is one of only 14 shows to be invited to the festival.
"It's been an emotional, powerful experience, and that's what theater's supposed to be," director David Hastings said.
Hastings has taught acting at Olathe South for 10 years and chose "13" for its story of learning to find a place in the world, which is something people of every age can understand.
The show is a coming-of-age story that follows a boy who is forced to navigate a move from New York City to a small, Indiana town shortly before his bar mitzvah.
"It's about finding what you want and where you fit in life, and that goes for everyone," said Braden Clark, who will be a senior and plays Archie, an awkward outcast, in the show.
The group first began work on the show after auditions early last fall, and in October, the show's composer, Jason Robert Brown, came to Olathe to work with the students. In November, the students first performed "13" for audiences, and that's when judges from the festival and the Starlight Theatre's Blue Star Awards attended and scored the show.
The Blue Star judges made a point after the show to tell Hastings how much they enjoyed the teens' work.
To stay fresh over the past seven months, the students have met on the 13th of every month to rehearse, practice the songs or talk over lines and scenes, Hastings said.
"It was such a tough process, but it was so rewarding," said Kristin Nycklemoe, who plays the show's popular cheerleader and "dumb blonde," Kendra.
The production is entirely student-run, from the singing, dancing and acting to the lighting, set design and stage direction.
"13" is loaded with award-winning talent, both onstage and off, Hastings said.
The show's lead actor, Erick Patrick, won last year's KC Superstars competition. This year, three students involved with "13" were honored with awards from Starlight Theatre's Blue Star Awards and the Johnson County Shooting Stars Program. The Blue Star Awards honored Justin Dudzik for technical achievement, and Kaelyn Kreicbergs was honored for stage managing and named a rising star.
The Shooting Stars program honored Brooke Bosworth with a best actress award and Kreicbergs for technical achievement.
The success of "13" is built on that connection with the show's message, Hastings said. And learning where you fit in is something everyone can identify with.
"It's basically that we all have a little bit more homework to do," Hastings said. "Everybody wants to find the answers in the back of the book, but they're not there."

Next Meetup
What we're about
We play football on the 3G pitch on Tuesdays and Fridays at Falmer Sports Complex at the University of Sussex. Games are friendly, we are faculty and postgraduate students of various ability. Males and Females of all ages and abilities welcome.
Membership is restricted to Sussex University Faculty, Postgraduates, and Postdocs - any requests to join from people outside of the University will be declined - sorry. The group typically consists of a wide range of abilities, ages, genders and so if you're a semi-pro footballer, this probably isn't the group for you.
Rules of the group:
If you sign up, show up, if you don't sign up, don't show up. Other than that games are played in a friendly spirit, and what happens on the pitch is left on the pitch. (i.e., if you fall out with someone, make up before you go home). Currently Friday games are paid for at the time of booking with no refunds offered (to encourage the 'sign up-show up' rule), Tuesday games are paid by cash on the day (although this might change and if it does the same 'no refund' policy will apply).

how pleasant when you say
something I've forgotten
becoming friends
after the divorce
once again
to turn away from being
two sides of the melon

old couple
from one room to another
over their mobile phones
bobbing up and down

Top-Bar Beekeeping with Les Crowder and Heather Harrell (DVD)
In backyards and on rooftops all over the world, the top-bar hive design is revolutionizing the art and practice of beekeeping. With top-bar hives the bees naturally construct their own wax combs rather than relying on prefabricated frames of plastic cell foundation in a typical box-type hive. And top-bar hives are now being used to raise healthy bees organically, without the use of antibiotics, miticides, or other chemical inputs.
In this instructive video, New Mexico beekeeper Les Crowder shares his thirty years' experience in developing best practices for working with bees in top-bar hives. Les and Heather Harrell, authors of Top-Bar Beekeeping (Chelsea Green, 2012) discuss everything from hive management techniques to how to harvest and process honey and beeswax to the best plants to grow for the foraging bees.
The natural, low-stress methods outlined in this video are perfect for home or hobbyist beekeepers who have the time and interest that's necessary to manage bees intensively and holistically. The material will also be valuable for home orchardists, gardeners, and permaculture practitioners who are interested in bees as pollinators, as well as for their honey and beeswax.
Reviews and Praise
ForeWord Review-
Farmers who seek a guide to hive maintenance told through a thoughtful personal narrative will benefit from the discussion of this topbar style of beekeeping. The first-person style of the book allows a window into the practices of the topbar beekeeper while conveying a wealth of knowledge and a well-researched comparison of hive practices. The book is appropriate for beginning beekeepers as well as those experienced but looking for information on natural and organic beekeeping practices.
The book's ten sections discuss optimal practices of an organic beekeeper juxtaposed with discussion of industry standard practices and their drawbacks. Each section contains stories of the authors' successes and failures as well as diagrams and pictures to explain everything from hive design to plant species for optimal pollination.
Chapter 2, "The Supercreature," contains a thorough discussion of the social and industrial structure of a bee colony for farmers inexperienced with keeping a hive. The following section, "Beekeeping Basics," discusses issues such as being stung, placing a hive, and trapping a swarm of bees for commercial use. The authors' familiar voices elevate the book from a simple how-to manual to a memoir of common mistakes and earned victories in the beekeeping process.
In "The Seasons," section, Crowder and Harrell deal with diverse problems in an accessible way. The chapter provides succinct answers to common questions that beekeepers would have. When contemplating dividing a hive, they suggest: "Ideally, the queen would be moved to a new yard altogether, but this is not absolutely essential." In addition to dealing with times of the year, the chapter addresses a common pest for hives: bears. "It is important to set up the bear fence first.," advise the authors. "It is inconsiderate to bees and bears to leave bees unprotected in bear territory."
Whether the reader is looking to start their own hive or simply increase their knowledge of honeybees, the book provides interesting and detailed discussions of all aspects of raising them. Crowder and Harrell offer not only advice on how to get started, but an in-depth discussion of all aspects of keeping a hive, from bee capture, breeding, and selection to honey processing. They have crafted a book that is both informative and engaging, filled with introspective advice and practical knowledge.
More Reviews and Praise
Publishers Weekly Review-
Cave drawings show beekeepers "smoking" their hives, preparing for insect interaction. Today's mass-produced honey relies mostly on the venerable Langstroth method of beekeeping, which has produced plenty of honey—but also has introduced plenty of chemicals into the process—through the years. Top-bar hives, named for the bars that run across their tops, are popular with bee beginners even though they produce less honey than Langstroth hives. But this account, the culmination of Crowder and Harrell's 40 years of top-bar beekeeping adventures, shows the reader their method's advantages: it avoids antibiotics, miticides, and other chemicals inherent to the conventional process. Crowder and his wife, Harrell, leave no comb unharvested as they take the top-bar aspirant from bee basics (stings, smoke, and hive transfers) through hive management (comb removal and feeding) to beneficial, and profitable, byproducts like beeswax. For those a bit lukewarm to the swarm, the book gives a fascinating insight into bees' elaborate organizational and geometry skills, and it may even make one reconsider buying mass-marketed, chemical-laced honey.
Library Journal-
"Top-Bar Beekeeping shares New Mexico beekeeper Crowder's best practices gleaned from 30 years' experience working organically with top-bar hives, the one-story frameless hives in which bees build combs downward from horizontal wooden bars at the top of the structure. Top-bar hives are a less expensive way to get started in beekeeping. The video shows methods for establishing bees in such hives, managing bees and combs, and harvesting honey and wax, plus natural methods of pest control and planting forage crops for healthy bees. VERDICT These two outstanding videos for those interested in exploring beekeeping were inspired by same-titled print works by the beekeepers and are highly recommended for general audiences."

I have been on ssd since 2005. My health is not poor but with each year I have more and more health problems. I get evaluated every 3 yrs with Ssa.

I have been told so many different things???? Any suggestions???

Lawyers for Catholic Charities in the dioceses of Springfield, Peoria and Joliet are seeking an emergency injunction that would protect religious agencies who turn away unmarried couples who want to become foster parents -- including couples in civil unions.
In a petition filed today in Sangamon County Circuit Court, the three Catholic Charities agencies sued the Illinois Attorney General and Department of Children and Family Services for threatening to enforce new policies that accommodate civil unions, which went into effect last week. The Attorney General's office declined to comment until it could review the complaint.
In March, the attorney general's office issued a letter stating that the office "received notice that Catholic Charities … discriminates against Illinois citizens based on race, marital status and sexual orientation" in the provision of foster care and adoption services and demanded that Catholic Charities turn over a wide range of documents in response.

One year ago, we heard for the first time about Scanadu, a Silicon Valley startup with a great tagline: "Sending your smartphone to med school". At this time, the small company raised quite $2 millions for a very interesting idea: a digital health sensor that connects to an iPhone via Bluetooth.
On last thursday, the start-up Scanadu was announcing that it is a few big steps closer to making that goal a reality, giving a few more details on the first three products it expects to formally start selling within the next year:
- Scanadu SCOUT, a palm-sized device, which accurately reads a variety of vital signs when held to the temple for a period of under 10 seconds, and monitors vital health signs such as heart rate and blood pressure,. The data collected by the small portable device are transmitted via bluetooth to a smartphone, where the Scanadu app will display pulse transit time, pulse rate, electrical heart activity, temperature, heart rate variability and blood oxygenation.
- Project ScanaFlu, an automatic saliva testing device to check for the presence of one of five respiratory diseases: Strep A, Influenza A, Influenza B, Adenovirus or RSV, among other conditions.
- Project ScanaFlo, a small plastic wand with a row of urine test strips that can check for pregnancy complications, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, kidney failure, and urinary tract infections.
Currently, only the design of the SCOUT has been revealed. ScanaFlo and ScanaFlu are both still at the concept design stage. However, all three devices are set to be released before the end of 2013.Image source: http://www.crunchbase.com/assets/images/original/0014/2583/142583v2.png http://www.usinenouvelle.com/mediatheque/5/1/6/000148615_5.jpg

Cops advise activist Trupti Desai to visit Mahalaxmi temple in a saree
"I have told them I was not going to wear short skirt or jeans. Salwar kameez is a comfortable Indian attire. I will not wear saree," she said.india Updated: Apr 13, 2016 00:03 IST
A fresh controversy erupted on Tuesday when Bhoomata Ranragini Brigade leader Trupti Desai alleged that the police asked her to wear a saree during her darshan visit to the Mahalaxmi temple in Kolhapur on Wednesday.
An officer at Rajwada police station in Kolhapur gave her the "telephonic advice" to wear saree on Tuesday evening, she told.
She alleged that the officer asked her to visit the temple wearing a saree, and not in a salwar kameez, to honour the existing tradition while entering the inner sanctum.
"I have told them I was not going to wear short skirt or jeans. Salwar kameez is a comfortable Indian attire. I will not wear saree," she said.
Desai, who spearheaded a successful campaign seeking entry for women in Shani Shingnapur shrine, also played a taped conversation she purportedly had with the officer.
The officer, identified as Anil Deshmukh, senior police inspector, purportedly urges Desai to honour the tradition, saying even men who enter the sanctum sanctorum of the temple are required to wear 'sovle' (a special dhoti worn for performing religious rituals).
The officer said if Desai turns up wearing a saree, it would not hurt sentiments of people and help police maintain law and order.
Desai is scheduled to visit the temple on Wednesday evening along with her co-activists.
Breaking an age-old tradition, the trustees recently took a decision allowing women an unrestricted entry into the inner sanctum of the historical temple.
When contacted, Deshmukh admitted to calling up Desai.
Deshmukh said he requested her to wear saree as the priests at the temple did not allow some women who went there yesterday not clad in a saree.
