Karpov and Thompson lead overnight in Desenzano del Garda - IAAF Combined Events Challenge
Karpov totalled 4253 points to finish the first day in the lead over last year's winner Luis Alberto De Araujo by 26 points. Thompson Johnson capped an outstanding first day with a new 200 metres PB of 23.78 to finish the first day in first position with 3662 points.
Men's Decathlon
Brazilian Luiz Alberto De Araujo, winner at the 2011 Multistars, got off to a flying start with a win in the 100 metres in 10.83 beating former World and Olympic bronze medallist Dimitry Karpov from Kazakhstan (11.04) in the first heat. Briton John Lane won the second heat in his PB of 10.93, the second fastest time of the three heats.
De Araujo's good day continued in the Long Jump where he took the win with 7.40 (910 points) and backed up his leading position in the overall standing after two events with 1807 points. Cedric Nolf from Belgium, fifth after the 100 metres with 11.10, took second place in the overall standing with 1729 points after jumping 7.32 (891 points). Karpov, who started his international career in 2003 with a win in Desenzano in 2003, leapt to 7.26m and kept his third place after the first two events with 1728 points.
Karpov took the Shot Put with 16.22 (865 points) and this enabled him to take the lead win in the overall standing in the overall standing with 2593 points, 12 more than De Araujo who produced a best throw of 14.74 (774 points). Brian Newdick from New Zealand, fifth after the 100 metres and the Long Jump, moved up to third place with 2488 points in the overall standing after 14.85 in the Shot Put (780 points).
In the High Jump held in rainy conditions Karpov cleared 2.01 (813 points) to increase his gap to 40 points over De Araujo in the overall ranking, Iceland's Einar Larusson and Great Britain's Martin Brockmann all jumped 1.98. Newdick cleared 1.92 and kept his third place with 3219 points with a gap of 19 points over Italian Wiliam Frullani who is aiming at the qualifying standard for the European Championships in Helsinki (7800 points).
It started raining cats and dogs after the High Jump. The 400 metres were held in better conditions after the brief heavy downpour. De Araujo edged Karpov in the 400 metres with 49.00 to 49.30 but the Khazak managed to defend his leading overnight position by 26 points (4253 to 4227 points) over De Araujo. John Lane finished the first day in third place with 4034 points after his 48.44 in the one-lap event.
"My first day was fine despite difficult weather conditions. Rain caused me some problems. I won two events in the Shot Put and the High Jump", said Karpov.
Women's Heptathlon
Ghana's Margaret Simpson, 2005 World bronze medallist and three-time winner of the Multistars, was forced to pull out of the meeting due to a knee injury. Louise Wood from Britain ran the fastest time in the first of the five 100 metres Hurdles with her PB of 13.24 (1089 points) beating Brazilian Lucimara Da Silva (13.69). The most outstanding improvement was produced by 2009 World Youth champion Katharina Johnson Thompson who smashed her PB from 14.01 to 13.68 (1024 points) to win the third race with the second fastest time overall.
Da Silva won the High Jump with 1.84 (1029 points) on count-back over France's Blandine Maisonnier and moved to the lead with 2052 points. Eighteen-year-old Katarina Johnson Thompson, the youngest athlete in the field, cleared 1.81 to take third place in the high jump and kept second overall position with 2015 points, 12 points more than Maisonnier.
The Brazilian managed to defend her leading position after her 12.13 m. release in the Shot Put but Maisonnier reduced her gap to 19 points thanks to her 12.59 m. The French athlete overhauled Johnson Thompson who improved her shot put PB to 11.75 in her weakest event and was ranked third with 2660 points.
Yasmina Omrani from Algeria produced a solid first day setting PBs in the first three events (13.87 in the 100 metres Hurdles, 1.78 in the High Jump and 12.51 in the Shot Put) and was in fourth place before the 200 metres with 2645 points. Former Olympic and World bronze medallist Kelly Sotherton, who competed in the Heptathlon for the first time since 2008, had a shaky start in the 100 metres Hurdles (13.98), in the High Jump (1.72) and in the Shot Put (12.98) and was in fifth place after three events with 2589 points.
Thompson capped an impressive first day with a new PB of 23.78 in the 200 metres (1002 points) to take the overnight lead with 3662 points with a gap of 66 points over Da Silva who clocked 25.14 (874 points). Maisonnier finished the first day in third place with 3575 points after running the half-lap event in 25.16. Sotherton dropped out of the competition before the 200 metres.
"Clocking 23"78 was a big shock for me. The high jump was a bit disappointment. I am aiming at the Olympic qualifier for London (6150 points). I am looking forward to the Long Jump which is my favourite event. I used to be a high jumper but I started with combined events in 2007. Italy is my favourite country. I won the World Youth title in Bressanone in 2009 and I enjoy competing here. I also played football as a goalkeeper and I am a keen fan of Liverpool football team", said Thompson.

ENGS 8: Materials in Sports Equipment
Sports equipment uses almost every type of material imaginable, as athletes and designers leverage state-of-the-art materials to maximize human efficiency, performance, comfort and safety. As something most people have some familiarity with, active Dartmouth students in particular, it is an excellent subject for an exploration of material characteristics, selection, design, and failure. This course will introduce materials science concepts in a way that is accessible and useful for the non-major. It will exercise student's critical thinking, quantitative and communication skills. In-class demonstrations will allow students to explore material behavior and differences between materials 'hands-on' and possible field trips or lab visits will introduce them to some engineering test methods. Finally, this course will demystify terms used by manufacturers and salespeople, and help students, as athletes and consumers, make informed equipment choices. Enrollment is limited to 40 students.

Vocational school was such a positive, life-shaping experience for Heidi and Charles Pitard of Berlin that their children are following in their footsteps. But Mrs. Pitard says she believes their 13-year-old daughter, Jillianne, is being discouraged from leaving the Berlin-Boylston school district to attend Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School.
Mrs. Pitard said district administrators no longer allow Assabet representatives to come to Tahanto Regional Middle-High School to interview prospective students. She said her daughter and other eighth-graders who plan to transfer to Assabet in the fall were questioned by Superintendent Nadine G. Ekstrom without their parents' knowledge about why they want to go to Assabet.
Ms. Ekstrom emphatically denies the allegation that she is trying to discourage students from going to Assabet. But the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education says the issue of some districts trying to keep students from transferring to schools outside of their community because of lost revenue is seen throughout the state.
To address the concern, DESE recently established a Career Vocational Technical Education Task Force, made up of superintendents from traditional and regional vocational technical schools and one mayor. The group is expected to present recommendations to Commissioner Mitchell D. Chester in August.
�What we're finding this year is student enrollments overall in the state are down, so people are competing to keep students in their school system. ... In some cases, the sending school districts are really trying to keep their students in their districts,� said Patricia Gregson, DESE's associate commissioner for vocational, workforce and college readiness programs.
Ironically, Mrs. Pitard said that when she and her husband attended vocational school nearly 30 years ago, they were also discouraged from going, but for a different reason. She said vocational schools had poor reputations and were thought of almost as alternative schools for students who were troublemakers or couldn't excel academically.
�Back in my day, rumor was that if you go to vocational school, you can't go to college. That's crock because I'm a college graduate,� said Mrs. Pitard, a 1985 graduate of Minuteman Technical High School in Lexington and a 1988 graduate of the University of New Haven.
Mrs. Pitard, who grew up in Sudbury, said she didn't excel in public school, but in vocational school she was in the National Honor Society, was a cheerleader and participated in sports. It was the horticulture shop she was in at vocational school, not her criminal justice college degree, that was the deciding factor in her career. On July 1, she will become the owner of Apple Valley Flower Shop in Hudson, where she has worked for 11 years.
�Everything just comes into focus when you're in the right atmosphere where everything kind of fits,� she said.
Mrs. Pitard said she wants the same opportunity for her children. She said her daughter, Jillianne, faced barriers that her son, Gregory, did not when he applied to transfer to Assabet two years ago. Her husband graduated from Assabet in 1983.
She said that when Gregory applied, Tahanto transported him and other interested eighth-graders to Assabet to tour the school and learn about what the school offers. Since then, Tahanto has discontinued the tours and no longer allows a representative from Assabet to interview students at Tahanto. A representative from Assabet is allowed to go to Tahanto to talk to students about the different shops.
Sarah Beauregard, whose daughter is also an eighth-grader at Tahanto, said that when her daughter was questioned by the superintendent, she was asked: �Why would you want to go to Assabet? Do you remember how hard it was to transition to Tahanto when you came here? Do you really want to go through that again?�
�That's messing with kids' futures. They all have a right to go where they want to go. They shouldn't be discouraged by their own superintendent,� said Ms. Beauregard.
Ms. Ekstrom, who began as superintendent of the Berlin-Boylston school district last July, said she is offended by the allegation.
�That's absolutely inaccurate. My reason to talk to the kids is for me to understand what they're hoping to get out of Assabet and why they're going to Assabet to bring back to the School Committee,� she said. �What's happened for decades is kids have gone off to other schools and the School Committee sits there and says, 'Why does that happen?' The School Committee is finally trying to get some understanding why they go.�
Ms. Ekstrom said she also did exit interviews with seniors and sent out surveys to parents of eighth graders and students who live in the district but go to schools outside of town. The results are still being tallied, she said.
�It's important for every school to know why they're losing students. If there's anything we can do to retain them, it's our job to make sure we do that,� said Diane Tucceri, Tahanto's principal. She said Tahanto now offers computer technologies and culinary programs that some Tahanto students sought at Assabet.
Berlin is one of seven municipalities that make up the Assabet Valley Regional Technical School District. The others are Hudson, Marlboro, Maynard, Northboro, Southboro and Westboro. Assabet also accepts out-of-district students to increase its enrollment.
Member communities pay an annual assessment, or share of the operating budget, based in part on the number of students they send. That cost is less than the estimated $16,000-plus in tuition that a student from Boylston or other nonmember community has to pay to attend Assabet.
Cindy Zomar, the admissions and public relations coordinator at Assabet, said she received complaints from at least two parents of students from Tahanto. She said the issue is more a problem with West Boylston, a non-district town. For the past two years, she said, West Boylston school administrators have refused to give her the names and addresses of eighth graders so she could contact them.
To reach students, Ms. Zomar put up posters around West Boylston with pictures of West Boylston students in their shops at Assabet and informing prospective students when a van would be at Goodale Park in West Boylston to take them to Assabet for a tour. Twenty-four students attended the tour in October. The students were later interviewed by Ms. Zomar at the local library in West Boylston.
Ms. Zomar said that as a former Marlboro city councilor, she understands budget constraints that school districts are under. But as a former math teacher, she tries to think about what's best for kids first.
�Shrewsbury and Clinton welcome me with open arms. They're very nice. I'm sure they're not happy about writing checks for their students to attend Assabet, but they don't let that show,� she said.
Elizabeth Schaper, superintendent in West Boylston, said because the town is not a member of Assabet, the state does not require the district to participate in recruiting activities. About 70 students from West Boylston go to Assabet.
�We provide them information about vocational education in general. It's part of our guidance curriculum in middle school,� she said. �Obviously, if we didn't have that as part of our curriculum, we would lower our numbers (of students attending Assabet). But, we do have it because it's required.�
The DESE's policy says school districts should provide students and their parents or guardians with information on vocational technical education. It is not required. The policy also says middle schools can release students' names and addresses to the vocational technical schools. But that, too, is not required.
David J. Ferreira, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of Vocational Technical Administrators, said vocational technical schools' access to the general population of students is an issue in many parts of the state.
Mr. Ferreira said there are so many more options for students today in addition to the community public high school, including vocational technical schools, charter and private schools and school choice.
Massachusetts' vocational technical system is the �Cadillac of the country,� he said.

Binge eating disorder affects those who compulsively overeat, unable to control themselves. This eating disorder can develop as a way of coping with depression or stress, but once it takes over it can lead to serious weight gain. Unlike bulimia nervosa, binge eating isn't followed by purging, but usually includes feelings of guilt that increase stress or anxiety and cause more compulsive overeating.Overeating infrequently, like on big holiday meals, is not part of the binge eating disorder that usually develops in late adolescence or...

DIY Metal Buttons
Learn how to emboss metal using unique designs to create custom designer buttons. Use them to embellish pillows, jackets, curtains and more.
Tools of the Trade
Refiner & scribe tool: Use this tool to draw the design onto sheet metal. The refiner side is thinner and curved and the scribe side is thicker and has a ball-shaped end.
Double deer foot & crayon tip PTFE tool: Use this tool to help deepen lines and details. The deer foot side is slanted and flat (resembling a deer hoof) and the crayon side is thick and tapered. The crayon side is perfect for drawing designs.
Brush & wheel tool: Use this tool to add attractive details to the design. Scratch the metal surface with the brush side and roll over the design with the wheel side to add interest.
#2 cup & ball tool: Use this tool to enhance and sharpen outlines. The cup side has a cylindrical end and the ball side has a small ball.
Brad maker tool: Use this tool to clip into the sheet metal, creating a circle with bendable "legs" that wrap around a button.
Embossing Know-How
Keep the following tips in mind as you create customized buttons:
Download the flower or heart template. Print and cut out.
From the sheet metal, cut one 2 3/4" square. Position the acrylic plastic sheet on a flat work surface to protect it. Position the suede over the acrylic.
Place the metal square wrong side (pattern side) up over the suede. Trace the design or freehand draw a design onto the metal (1).
Trace over the first outline using the scribe tool, leaving a stronger and deeper outline (2).
Turn the metal square right side (embossing side) up. Using the refiner tool, draw a thin line on each side of the previous lines to define the raised appearance, working from the center outward (3).
Position the metal square wrong side up. Using the ball end of the cup-and-ball tool, trace the design outline again (4).
Using the PTFE tool, draw details, such as lines on flower petals or hatch marks in a heart center (5).
Add small details using the brass brush or cup-and-ball tool (6).
Once the design is complete, fill the wrong side with filler paste to prevent the design from flattening (7).
Repeat to create as many embossed buttons as desired.
Covered Button
Learn how to cover a button with the custom-embossed metal.
Position pieces of permanent double-sided tape along one button cover perimeter and center.
Center one embossed metal square right side up over the button cover, and then gently wrap the edges toward the button wrong side. Trim the excess metal. Using a PTFE tool, rub and smooth the edges.
Or, after embossing, use the brad maker tool to punch the sheet metal to complete the covered button, following the manufacturer's instructions. Trim off 1/3 of the sheet metal "legs" to accommodate the thickness (8). Curve the metal over the button.

Nielsen, Bo; Nielsen, Sabina; Klettner, Alice; Boersma, Martijn (Sydney, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The business case for advancing more women into leadership is clear for companies globally. Whilst this is an issue of equality, it's also about accessing markets, productivity and economic opportunity. ANZ has made good progress: three women sit on our Management Board; 38% of all management roles and 24% of our most senior executive positions are held by women; and females lead key global businesses and countries in our super regional growth strategy. However, further gains are now hard won and largely incremental. Looking at the results of EOWA's 2012 Australian Census of Women in Leadership, it seems we are not alone. Given the high proportion of Australian women with a tertiary education - and indeed placed within junior and middle management ranks - the Census results demonstrate the pace of progression is far too slow. Extensive local and international research tells us there is no 'silver bullet'. In fact, I believe as CEOs and business leaders our approach must now focus on gender balancing our businesses with a fine tooth comb. We need to go beyond high level targets, discrete programs and initiatives and engage women and men in this major opportunity. For example, at ANZ we are working to ensure women have access to a breadth of critical experiences and development opportunities throughout their careers to position them well for senior executive roles into the future. We have set targets for at least 40% female representation amongst participants in our key recruitment, talent and development programs, in addition to our medium term goal to achieve at least 40% representation of women in management overall. More broadly, senior women consistently cite an inclusive and supportive line manager as a defining factor in their progression. It follows that if we want more women in our senior ranks, constructive, inclusive and supportive leaders should become the norm in Australian business rather than the exception. Flexible work options assist in helping people balance their caring responsibilities and other commitments. But there's more we can do to role model and promote flexibility, especially as such practices also build a more agile, productive and capable workforce. I recommend this report to all business leaders and urge all executives and directors to accept accountability for ensuring the next Census delivers better results.

An exploration of micro- and macro-level determinants of board effectivenessMinichilli, Alessa Andro; Zattoni, Alessandro; Nielsen, Sabina; Huse, Morten (, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper addresses recent calls to narrow the micro–macro gap in management research (Bamberger, 2008), by incorporating a macro-level context variable (country) in exploring micro-level determinants of board effectiveness. Following the integrated model proposed by Forbes and Milliken (1999), we identify three board processes as micro-level determinants of board effectiveness. Specifically, we focus on effort norms, cognitive conflicts and the use of knowledge and skills as determinants of board control and advisory task performance. Further, we consider how two different institutional settings influence board tasks, and how the context moderates the relationship between processes and tasks. Our hypotheses are tested on a survey-based dataset of 535 medium-sized and large industrial firms in Italy and Norway, which are considered to substantially differ along legal and cultural dimensions. The findings show that: (i) Board processes have a larger potential than demographic variables to explain board task performance; (ii) board task performance differs significantly between boards operating in different contexts; and (iii) national context moderates the relationships between board processes and board task performance.

The Impact of Top Management Team Nationality Diversity and International Experience on Foreign Entry ModeNielsen, Bo Bernhard; Nielsen, Sabina (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Nationality diversity and international experience constitute two related yet distinct sources of competence among upper echelons. While both TMT international experience and nationality diversity increases the likelihood of firms expanding outside their home region, our results show that TMTs with international experience are more likely to expand abroad via greenfield investments, whereas nationally diverse TMTs are more likely to engage in international acquisitions and joint ventures. This highlights the need to treat TMT nationality diversity and international experience as two different characteristics influencing foreign entry mode decision.

Why Do Firms Employ Foreigners on Their Top Management Teams? A Multilevel Exploration of Individual and Firm Level AntecedentsNielsen, Sabina; Nielsen, Bo Bernhard (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In Europe, in particular, the number of foreigners appointed to top management teams has increased significantly over the past decade. However, the question of why some firms elect to employ foreign nationals on their top management teams remains unclear. This study utilizes a multi-level methodology to test the degree to which employment of a foreigner on the top management team is driven by individual level human capital characteristics versus firm level strategic considerations. Results from empirical tests on a sample of Swiss publicly listed companies suggest that degree of international diversification is positively associated with the likelihood of having a foreign executive, whereas human capital characteristics do not explain the propensity to employ a foreigner on the top management team. Further analyses indicate that nationality diversity at the board level, as well as the international experience of the top management team, are possible predictors of the probability of having a foreigner on the top management team.

My guess is that they have found some water molecules, probably as part of a clathrate.
When in doubt, test it again ... then again ... then a few more times, just to be CERTAIN.
What I would call "earthshaking" would be something like a key to an underground city, but most likely his definition is much less tremulous than that.
However, I think it's something more satisfying than water. Haven't they already established that there is water on mars?
They've found water at the poles and evidence of past water everywhere else, but no extant water from in situ measurements in the low latitudes. I don't think it would be that exciting either. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic.
Yeah, probably something organic. I don't suppose it's actual microbial life.
Hell, organic compounds and amino acids, as Pat said, wouldn't be anything earthshaking. We've found those in meteors and such, haven't we?
Yes, amino acids would not be much for the history books unless they were in some unusual form or if they were clearly of Martian origin perhaps.
Ah, yeah, that sounds like what I was thinking of. One of those smaller astral bodies, anyway.
I pretty sure that it's not water or amino acids as neither would be "one for the history books". My best guess would be conclusive evidence of ancient life or even better actual living critters - that would make the history books.
You have greater faith in what the instrument P.I. determines worthy of historical note than I do. I remain a skeptic about life on Mars, past or present, and would be astonished (and delighted) if they found anything suggestive of life there.
Well yeah, that's why we're guessing these out there but technically possible scenarios. From all the noise they're making, if they're right, it's something astonishing and delightful, to use your words. We'll see what it actually is, when we have confirmation.
This could be a life form more advanced than a mere single cell life. Something like an earthworm for example probably existing in large numbers. It also could be some plant life, past or present.
Or even the fossils of previously-existing life would be awesome.

NEW YORK PORTLAND PROVIDENCE SAINT LOUIS SALT LAKE CITY SAN DIEGO SAN FRANCISCO SEATTLE TULSA WATERTOWN BERLIN LONDON MANILA PARIS SHANGHAI HAVANA MEXICO CITY MONTREAL VOL. XII NEW YORK, MAY, 1929 No. 5 The Money Tangle " P L A Y I N G the market," using the term loosely, seems to have become the favorite indoor sport. On trains, in waiting-rooms, hotel lobbies, drawing-rooms, between the acts, and in various and sundry other places one hears the chatter about "stocks." Runners for brokerage houses recount their gains and losses. Manicurists are on the lookout for tips. Society matrons wonder if "Hash, common" is a good buy for a rise. In short, the whole country, more or less, is obsessed with the idea of making money in the market. Securities, in relation to the market, are commodities, like iron and steel. An exchange affords a place where sellers and buyers may meet and have their dealings. The price of securities is determined by effective supply and demand. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise. When supply overrides demand, prices fall. Demand is controlled by the purchasing power of buyers. When money is easily obtainable, demand increases and prices rise. When the supply of money declines, interest rates increase, demand for securities falls off; and unless the supply keeps pace, the prices of securities drop. Thus, the economist explains market prices. Adam Smith, when he enunciated his principles of economics probably never dreamed of a stock market situation such as exists in this country today. He was not aware of the effect which might be brought about by hundreds of huge investing companies, taking out of and putting into the market, millions of dollars worth of securities. He could not foresee a market-crazed nation, nor a condition of industrial prosperity which would enable corporations to loan on call a volume of surplus funds sufficient to jeopardize the position of the Federal Reserve Board in its control of money matters. But the chances are that the simple principles which comprise our economic theory will govern in the present somewhat disturbed situation. History will repeat itself, perhaps through slightly different manifestations. When industry needs the surplus funds it has loaned to those who wish to speculate in securities, industry will recall those funds. If funds are not forthcoming from other sources, money rates will rise. When it is no longer profitable to borrow money for speculation, there will be a decline in speculation. The wisdom required to apprehend all angles and ramifications of the present money tangle is vouchsafed to few. The best one can do is to fall back on principles which have governed such matters since the dawn of civilization. Left to natural laws, probably the situation will right itself.

In the Hawaiian religion, Pele ( /ˈpeɪleɪ/ Pel-a; Template:IPA-haw) is the goddess of volcanoes. She is a popular figure in many stories of ancient Hawaii known as Hawaiian mythology. Ka wahine ʻai honua ("the earth-eating woman") is an epithet for the goddess.[1]
There are several traditional legends associated with Pele in Hawaiian mythology. In addition to being recognized as the goddess of volcanoes, Pele is also known for her power, passion, jealousy, and capriciousness. She has numerous siblings, including Kāne Milohai, Kamohoaliʻi, Nāmaka and numerous sisters named Hiʻiaka, the most famous being Hiʻiakaikapoliopele (Hiʻiaka in the bosom of Pele). They are usually considered to be the offspring of Haumea. Pele's siblings include deities of various types of wind, rain, fire, ocean wave forms, and cloud forms. Her home is believed to be the fire pit called Halemaʻumaʻu crater, at the summit caldera of Kīlauea, one of the Earth's most active volcanoes; but her domain encompasses all volcanic activity on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. [2]
Pele shares features similar to other malignant deities inhabitants of volcanoes, as in the case of the devil Guayota of Guanche Mythology in Canary Islands (Spain), living on the volcano Teide and was considered by the aboriginal Guanches as responsible for the eruptions of the volcano.[3]
Expulsion version
In one version of the story, Pele is daughter of Kanehoalani and Haumea in the mystical land of Kuaihelani, a floating free land like Fata Morgana[disambiguation needed]. Kuaihelani was in the region of Kahiki (Kukulu o Kahiki). She stays so close to her mother's fireplace with the fire-keeper Lono-makua. Her older sister Nā-maka-o-Kahaʻi, a sea goddess, fears that Pele's ambition would smother the home-land and drives Pele away. Kamohoali'i drives Pele south in a canoe called Honua-i-a-kea with her younger sister Hiʻiaka and with her brothers Kamohoaliʻi, Kanemilohai, Kaneapua, and arrives at the islets above Hawaii. There Kane-milo-hai is left on Mokupapapa, just a reef, to build it up in fitness for human residence. On Nihoa, 800 feet above the ocean she leaves Kane-apua after her visit to Lehua and crowning a wreath of kau-no'a. Pele feels sorry for her younger brother and picks him up again. Pele used the divining rod, Pa'oa to pick a new home. A group of chants tells of a pursuit by Namakaokaha'i and Pele is torn apart. Her bones, KaiwioPele form a hill on Kahikinui, while her spirit escaped to the island of Hawaiʻi.[4]:157 (Pele & Hi'iaka A myth from Hawaii by Nathaniel B. Emerson)
Flood version
In another version, Pele comes from a land said to be "close to the clouds," with parents Kane-hoa-lani and Ka-hina-liʻi, and brothers Ka-moho-aliʻi and Kahuila-o-ka-lani. From her husband Wahieloa (also called Wahialoa) she has a daughter Laka and a son Menehune. Pele-kumu-honua entices her husband and Pele travels in search of him. The sea pours from her head over the land of Kanaloa (perhaps the island now known as Kahoʻolawe) and her brothers say:
O the sea, the great sea!
Forth bursts the sea:
Behold, it bursts on Kanaloa!
The sea floods the land, then recedes; this flooding is called Kai a Kahhinalii ("The sea of Ka-hina-liʻi"), as Pele's connection to the sea was passed down from her mother Kahinalii.[4]:158[5][6]
Pele and Poli'ahu
Pele was considered to be a rival of the Hawaiian goddesses of snow, Poli'ahu, and her sisters Lilinoe (a goddess of fine rain), Waiau (goddess of Lake Waiau), and Kahoupokane (a kapa maker whose kapa making activities create thunder, rain, and lightning). All except Kahoupokane reside Mauna Kea. The kapa maker lives on Hualalai.
One myth tells that Poli'ahu had come from Mauna Kea with her friends to attend sled races down the grassy hills south of Hamakua. Pele came disguised as a beautiful stranger and was greeted by Poli'ahu. However, Pele became jealously enraged at the goddess of Mauna Kea. She opened the subterranean caverns of Mauna Kea and threw fire from them towards Poli'ahu, with the snow goddess fleeing towards the summit. Poli'ahu was finally able to grab her now-burning snow mantle and throw it over the mountain. Earthquakes shook the island as the snow mantle unfolded until it reached the fire fountains, chilling and hardening the lava. The rivers of lava were driven back to Mauna Loa and Kīlauea. Later battles also led to the defeat of Pele and confirmed the supremacy of the snow goddesses in the northern portion of the island and of Pele in the southern portion.[7]
Historical times
Pele belief continued after the old religion was officially abolished in 1819. In the summer of 1823 English missionary William Ellis toured the island to determine locations for mission stations.[8]:236 After a long journey to the volcano Kīlauea with little food, Ellis eagerly ate the wild berries he found growing there.[8]:128 The berries of the ʻōhelo (Vaccinium reticulatum) plant were considered sacred to Pele. Traditionally prayers and offerings to Pele were always made before eating the berries. The volcano crater was an active lava lake, which the natives feared was a sign that Pele was not pleased with the violation.[8]:143 Although wood carvings and thatched temples were easily destroyed, the volcano was a natural monument to the goddess.
In December 1824 the High Chiefess Kapiʻolani descended into the Halemaʻumaʻu crater after reciting a Christian prayer instead of the traditional one to Pele. She was not killed as predicted, and this story was often told by missionaries to show the superiority of their faith.[9] Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892) wrote a poem about the incident in 1892.[10]
When businessman George Lycurgus ran a hotel at the rim of Kīlauea, called the Volcano House, he would often "pray" to Pele for the sake of the tourists. Park officials took a dim view of his habit of tossing items such as gin bottles (after drinking their contents) into the crater.[11]
Plantation owner William Hyde Rice published a version of the story in his collection of legends.[12] In 2003 the Volcano Art Center had a special competition for Pele paintings to replace one done in the early 20th century by D. Howard Hitchcock displayed in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park visitors center. Some criticized what looked like a blond caucasian as the Hawaiian goddess.[13] Over 140 paintings were submitted, and finalists were displayed at sites within the park.[14] The winner of the contest was Pahoa, Hawaii artist Arthur Johnsen. This version shows the goddess in shades of red, with a digging stick in her left hand (the ʻōʻō, for which the currently erupting vent was named), and an embryonic form of Hiʻiaka-i-ka-poli-o-Pele in her right hand. The painting is now on display at the Kīlauea Visitor Center on the edge of the Kīlauea crater.[15]
Pele's other prominent relatives are:
- Hiʻiaka, spirit of the dance
- Kā-moho-aliʻi, a shark god and the keeper of the water of life
- Kaʻōhelo, a mortal sister
- Kapo, a goddess of fertility
- Ka-poho-i-kahi-ola, spirit of explosions
- Kane-Hekili, spirit of the thunder (a hunchback)
- Ke-ō-ahi-kama-kaua, the spirit of lava fountains (a hunchback)
- Ke-ua-a-ke-pō, spirit of the rain and fire
- Kane-hoa-lani, father and division with fire
- Hina-alii,mother and takes place of different forms
Several phenomena connected to volcanism have been named after her, including Pele's hair, Pele's tears, and Limu o Pele (Pele's seaweed). A volcano on the Jovian moon Io is also named Pele.[16]
Pop culture references
- The musician Tori Amos named an album Boys for Pele in her honor. A single lyrical excerpt from the song "Muhammad My Friend" makes the only outright connection, "You've never seen fire until you've seen Pele blow." However, the entire record deals with the ideas usually associated with Pele, such as feminine "fire," or power. Amos claims the title reflects the idea of boys being devoured by Pele, or alternatively, as boys worshipping Pele.
- Simon Winchester, in his book Krakatoa, stated about the Pele myth: "Like many legends, this old yarn has its basis in fact. The sea attacks volcanoes – the waters and the waves erode the fresh laid rocks. And this is why Pele herself moved, shifting always to the younger and newer volcanoes, and relentlessly away from the older and worn-out islands of the northwest."
- In 2004, American composer Brian Balmages composed a piece entitled "Pele for Solo Horn and Wind Ensemble" on commission by Jerry Peel, professor of French Horn at the University of Miami Frost School of Music. It was premiered by the University of Miami Wind Ensemble under the direction of Gary Green, with Jerry Peel on Horn.
- Pele is mentioned in the song "Hot Lava" by Perry Farrell on the South Park Album:
And after the eruption, we lay dormant for a while
Let's just hold each other and talk,
For now, Pele sleeps
- Steven Reineke created a musical composition called "Goddess of Fire" which was inspired by the story and life of Pele.
- In the 1990s a character claiming to be the goddess Pele appeared as a villainess in the DC Comics comic book Superboy. Pele later reappeared in the comic book Wonder Woman where she sought revenge against Wonder Woman for the murder of Kāne Milohai, who in that story was her father, at the hands of the Greek god Zeus.[17]
- In Marvel Comics's Chaos War event, Pele appears as an ally to Hercules and the daughter of Gaea.
- An eight-woman world-beat band (featuring djimbe drums, steel drums, and saxophone) called Pele Juju was based in Santa Cruz, California.
- Pele appears on Sabrina the Teenage Witch in the episode "The good, the bad and the luau", as Sabrina's relative, who gives her the final clue to the family secret. This version of her has a slight tendency to unwittingly set things on fire.
- In Borderlands and its sequel, Pele is referenced in the rare weapon named "Volcano", which the ammunition can explode causing fire damage on impact. The descriptions reads "Pele demands a sacrifice!" in the first game and "Pele humbly requests a sacrifice, if it's not too much trouble." in the second.
- In the Wildefire book series written by Karsten Knight, Pele is one of many deities that are reincarnated in teenagers along the centuries. Ashline Wilde and her two sisters (Evelyn and Rose) represent the spirit of the goddess (the Flame, the Spark and the Fuse), which was divided in three by the Cloak because of the (self)destructiveness of hers.
- Pele appears in a 1969 'Hawaii Five-0 episode' 'The Big Kahuna' in which her appearance is faked by a couple of crooks intent on frightening their uncle into selling his property to them.
- Pele was also referenced in an episode of "Raven", entitled Heat, in which she is alluded to as the cause of a severe heat wave, as well as being a mysterious woman who leads Jonathan to causing an explosion.
- Pele appears as a demon in the video game Shin Megami Tensei IV along with several other deities.

John Tuley was born about 1780 in Tennessee. In 1808 he probably married Rachel Stephens in Kentucky. His will was probated in 1834 in Indiana. I have no further information about Rachel and I don't know if she died before or after John.
John and Rachel had at least ten children. Most of the information posted here has not been completely documented, so please continue to research these people.
William Tuley was born about 1810 in Kentucky and died after 1850 in Indiana, probably Spencer County. He married Rebecca Askins (Oskins) about 1828, probably in Indiana. I believe they had at least 7 children, one of whom is America Tuley, born about 1847.
Elizabeth Tuley was born about 1811 in Kentucky. She died after 1880, probably in Indiana. Elizabeth married Benjamin Hesson and I have identified 8 children.
Margaret Tuley was born about 1813 in Kentucky and she married Silas Brown, also in Kentucky. At this time I know nothing else about this couple.
John M. Tuley was born about 1816 in Kentucky and died before 1900, probably in Indiana. John married Nancy Hesson about 1836 in Indiana. I believe they had at least 6 children. Nancy died about 1851. John then married Zepora Beth Agan (numerous spellings of first and last names), in 1853 in Spencer County, Indiana and they had four children.
James Monroe Tuley was born about 1816 and married Jane Elizabeth Pierce. They each have their own blog posting on this site.
Martha Tuley was born about 1819 in Kentucky. She died before 1910, probably in Indiana. I believe that Martha married Levi Hale about 1863. No further information is known about this couple at this time.
Mary Tuley was born about 1821 in Kentucky. About 1841 she married William Wiatt (Wyatt) Crooks in 1841 in Spencer County, Indiana. I believe they had one son about 1842. Mary died after 1880, but William died at an earlier date.
Samuel Tuley was born about 1823 in Kentucky and he died sometime after 1870 in Indiana. Samuel married Nancy Mariah Grigsby in 1849 in Indiana. Nothing more is known about this couple at this time.
Eliza Jane Tuley was born about 1826 in Indiana. She married Silas Bridges about 1841. Eliza and Silas had at least 4 children. Eliza died in the early 1850s, and Silas then married Harriet Hesson. I have not researched any more in this line at this time.
America Tuley was born about 1828 in Indiana. She married Alfred Milton Hesson in 1845 in Spencer County, Indiana. They had at least 7 children. I don't know if Alfred died during the war. America died after 1910.
As you may have noticed many Tuley siblings married members of the Hesson family. I have not researched the Hessons yet so I don't know how or if they are related.
If you are interested in working with me researching this family, I would really like to collaborate.

Distance Learning | News
Indiana University has implemented a
software-based video conferencing solution to enable interactions between
teachers and students in virtual classrooms using existing IT infrastructure.
The implementation is part of a major expansion of the university's distance
learning services, which offers more than 175 live courses to students around
the world. The technology also provides video conferencing capabilities to more
than 135,000 faculty, staff and students across the university's eight campuses,
according to James McGookey, manager of collaboration technologies at Indiana
The university selected Pexip Infinity
Virtual Auditorium, a scalable, distributed video conferencing solution.
According to the company, Infinity Virtual Auditorium works with standard video
conferencing endpoints such as Microsoft Lync or WebRTC compatible Web browsers;
supports most video codecs and standards; and offers multiple viewing modes and
high definition resolution.
To use Infinity Virtual Auditorium "students simply open their Web browser or
use any SIP/H.323 video client software, enter the address of the Virtual
Auditorium and gain immediate access to the lecture," according to the company.
Once they are logged in to the virtual classroom, they can share presentations
or meet face-to-face in real time, and the software automatically toggles
between speakers. Faculty, staff and students can also use the virtual meeting
rooms for video, voice and data collaboration. Because Infinity Virtual
Auditorium is entirely software-based, Indiana U can use its existing endpoint
infrastructure and update the software as new versions become available.

Seth Meyers revealed that he recently made an unsuccessful attempt to befriend Lester Holt.
Meyers explained that NBC likes its employees to spend time with each other and the network paired him with the news anchor.
"So we went out with a film crew and spent the day together," Meyers said. "So now lets see what happens when a late night talkshow host hangs out with a serious journalist in a piece we're calling 'Forced Friendship With Seth and Lester.'"
First, the pair visited the set of Late Night, where Holt said, "I don't appreciate, jokes, goofs or spoofs. Friendship is about friendship and you can't respect a clown."
The two also sat down for lunch and discussed projects they're working on. Holt described a piece he's composing about Afghan citizens risking their lives to vote, while Meyers talked about a not-so-serious segment with Kelly Ripa and a hot dog stand. Holt was not impressed.
Will Meyers and Holt find common ground and become BFF? Watch the above video and find out!

Bombs targeting police kill 5 in Cairo ahead of anniversary of anti-Mubarak uprising
Three explosions rocked Cairo Friday morning in the span of four hours, killing at least five people on the eve of the third anniversary of an uprising that was supposed to usher in democratic government, but many Egyptians now believe has sowed instability instead.
The largest of the three explosions was a car bomb, officials said, that detonated in front of the Cairo police directorate, killing four people and injuring 51 others, most of them police officers and security personnel who were sleeping in the large, multi-story building. The attackers struck at 6:40 a.m. when officers were changing shifts, creating a security gap.
In the next three hours, explosives went off near a police station in the Giza section of Cairo. A third explosion, the smallest, detonated near Harem metro station, near the Pyramids, at 10:23 a.m.
While larger attacks have struck police stations around Egypt, Friday's attacks were the deadliest against security forces in the nation's capital. Egypt already was on edge as Saturday marks the three-year anniversary of the uprising that led to the fall of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. A polarized nation has emerged since between those who support Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood and those who want a military-governed state to return to power.
Outside the roped off crater in front of the police directorate, thousands of Egyptians staged a makeshift rally for Egyptian Minister of Defense and de facto leader Gen. Abdel Fatah el-Sissi, who ousted Muslim Brotherhood backed president Mohammed Morsi in July.
Many believed the Brotherhood was responsible for the attacks in retribution for Morsi's ouster and the military–run government that emerged in its place. The latest government has led an intense crackdown against Brotherhood and liberal opponents, locking up leaders, including Morsi. The government has repeatedly asserted the crackdown was necessary to return stability.
"Down, down with the Brotherhood!" one man yelled, hoisted on someone's shoulders to the cheer of thousands, many carrying posters featuring Sissi.
In a radio message immediately after the attacks, Egypt's most feared Islamist group, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, embraced the attacks, but did not claim them. The statement said the group was angry about the government and claimed that Sissi takes orders from the United States.
"The battle today between Islam and the international non-believers. We are watching every day our brothers being killed. Why? Because they seek to implement God's shariah," the radio announcer said in a 21-minute message. "We are calling people to revolt for the sake of God's sharia."
While Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, like the Brotherhood, opposed the military's return to power, the groups are not officially affiliated with one another.
But for those near the site, it made no difference. The Brotherhood had contributed to divisive streets, the crowds said, and many said the attack made them more resolute to come out in support of Sissi tomorow.
Still, there were worries that the government also had failed to provide security.
"The Brotherhood did it but the government is sleeping. The security forces should have taken better precautions," said Emad Ibrahim, a plastics worker who owned a shop on a nearby side streets, as shop owners around him cleaned up debris. Of Saturday's anniversary, he said, "I am expecting chaos." Police officers near the scene said they knew many of those injured and vowed to defend the nation.
The impact of the blast could been seen from hundreds of yards away, where charred glass covered apartment buildings, shops and a number of government buildings. The exterior of the Museum of Islamic Art, which sits across from the police directorate, was heavily damaged, but museum officials told McClatchy the artifacts inside were not damaged. They would not let reporters in, saying debris was falling inside.
Both the U.S. Embassy here and the Arab League condemned the attacks.

Setting up Windows Wireless Drivers on Ubuntu Linux
This tutorial uses a command line tool called "ndiswrapper" to set up Windows Wireless Drivers
First download ndiswrapper:
On a system with internet availability download the tarball. http://sourceforge.n...swrapper/files/
Save it to a flash drive.
Firstly, type the following to extract the archive:
$ tar xvfz filename.tar.gz $ cd filename
Next, type this code to compile it and install it:
$ make uninstall $ make $ su
Then switch to root user (with the command "su") and type this:
# make install
This installs ndiswrapper on the system.
Next, you need to find your windows driver for your wireless card. You need to find an archived version, not an executable.
After this is done, extract the .inf and .sys files and place them in the same directory.
then type:
$ sudo ndiswrapper -i drivername.inf ... $ ndiswrapper -l
If the ndiswrapper -l call says something similar to: "driver present, hardware(or device) present" then you are ready for the next step. However, if it returns "driver present" then something went wrong.
Finally, to load the ndiswrapper module type this:
$ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
Now your Windows driver should be set up and ready to go!

Three ways closing sales in the modular housing industry gets easier with quote management software.
When it comes to B2B selling, business proposals are too important to leave to guesswork. Instead incorporate online proposal software into your proposal practices to turn every sale into an investment.
Five ways using a quotation software solution can make you more efficient (and take out human error)
Never built a quote before? How do you even approach it? We'll give you some tips on how to get started.
As a security company, you're well aware of the importance of the right proposal. Classically, door-to-door salespeople have been responsible for delivering a stellar sales pitch, touting the benefits of home security systems. On a much grander scale, however, is the project of proposing your security solution to another business or institution.

Brandy Is Still 'Disturbed' That Rick & Audrina Were Kicked Off 'DWTS!' Are YOU?
Do YOU think the former b-baller and reality starlet should still be in the competition?
Brandy Norwood, one of the four contestants remaining on Dancing With The Stars, admits she was outraged when Rick Fox and Audrina Patridge were kicked off the show! "I was very shocked at Rick Fox and Audrina," Brandy confessed Nov. 11 on Larry King Live. "They were doing great and they did some of their best dances and were voted off. I just didn't understand that and was disturbed by that because they were so good."
Despite Brandy's personal opinions, the fans ultimately decided to send Rick and Audrina packing.
Do YOU wish that these two were still on DWTS? Or are you a fan of one of the remaining contestants — Brandy, Jennifer Grey, Bristol Palin or Kyle Massey? Vote below!

Some new websites and fanlistings to mention since it's been quite a while!
I adopted the Band of Brothers fanlisting from the lovely Cecile & Ingrid. That's located at Currahee.
On the Supernatural front, I opened the fanlisting & freeze frame site for Something Wicked at This Way Comes, and the freeze frame for Home, Family Affair.
I also created a fanlisting & freeze frame site for the Wonderfalls episode Cocktail Bunny: Why Me?. And I opened Maybe There's Hope, the fanlisting for The X-Files series finale, The Truth.
And lastly, in honor of the site's four year anniversary, I gave You Wanted More, the Xander/Anya fanlisting, a new layout and lots of new content.
New layout! I needed something more cheerful and spring-like. So TV fandoms it is!
I don't think there's a lot of new stuff to mention... I did close Cellophane Flowers in November, but the archives are still up and will remain there.
And in December, I adopted the Buffy Summers fanlisting from the lovely Niki, so I converted Just a Girl from a clique to the fanlisting and gave it a new layout. This was on my list of must have fanlistings, so thank you so much for thinking of me, Niki! :)
And that's it!
I've been forgetting to mention things here, so there's a nice long list of new stuff to talk about today.
First off, a couple new fanlisting... Grace is Gone, the fanlisting for episode "A Trip to the Dentist" of Veronica Mars. And In the Name of Love, the fanlisting for the band U2, which was adopted from Rae when she closed of all of her listings.
A couple moved sites to mention, You Wanted More, the Xander/Anya fanlisting is now located at chosentwo.com, and the clique Alter Ego is now housed here at harsh-light.com.
Also, worth mentioning is new layouts at the following fanlistings: Patronus (another gorgeous one from Rae), Our Mr. Reynolds, Prince Charming, and Fearless. Funny Guy also had a bit of a facelift, but it's not a huge change.
And I think that's it!

With a compatible iPhone,* Portrait mode uses the dual cameras to create a depth-of-field effect — letting you compose a photo that keeps your subject sharp with a blurred background.
You can also add captivating lighting effects to your image. And with the TrueDepth camera on iPhone X and later, you can even take a selfie in Portrait mode.
Before you get started, make sure you have the latest version of iOS.
* You can use Portrait mode on iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 7 Plus.

To capture the perfect shot:
- Open the Camera app and swipe to Portrait mode.
- Follow the tips on your screen, such as moving further away. When Portrait mode is ready, the lighting effect, like Natural Light, turns yellow.
- Tap the shutter button .
The Camera app lets you know when you're too close, too far away, or if the area is too dark. You can also use True Tone flash, set a timer, and apply filters. After you take a photo, you can use the built-in editing features to do things like crop and auto-enhance.
Add Portrait Lighting
On iPhone X and later, and iPhone 8 Plus, you can use the Portrait Lighting feature to apply studio-quality lighting effects to your Portrait mode images. Choose from Studio Light to brighten facial features, Contour Light for more dramatic directional lighting, Stage Light to isolate your subject in the spotlight, or Stage Mono for stage light in a classic black and white.
You can take a Portrait mode photo with a real-time preview of the lighting effect on your screen. With your Camera app in Portrait mode, swipe between the different lighting effects that appear in the bottom part of the viewfinder. The Portrait mode photo that you take has the lighting effect applied.

Hailed with critical acclaim as the "Breakout Star of 2013" by Billboard and Rolling Stone magazines, with rave reviews for his album "+" in Entertainment Weekly and People, this British singer/songwriter is making lightning fast tracks straight to the top. Sheeran's hit single "The A Team" is nominated for a Grammy for "Song of the Year", has over 50 million video views online, and has already sold over a million copies. Sheeran's current tour--including stops at esteemed venues Radio City Music Hall, Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and Hollywood's Palladium--is sold out. A stunning start to the New Year indeed!
Sheeran's thoughtful, generous, charismatic disposition is a bonus to his genuine talent. Blending soulful vocals with organic folk introspection and irresistible hip-hop hooks, Sheeran has not only created his own original music, he has also managed to find time to collaborate with a number of his chart-topping contemporaries, including the white-hot gents of One Direction and mega-star Taylor Swift, with whom he has co-written and performed the duet, "Everything Has Changed", featured on Swift's blockbuster new album "RED". Following his headlining tour, Sheeran joins Swift on her hugely anticipated "RED" tour kicking off in March. Yes, it is arena and stadium time, and well-deserved.
Inspired by such diverse artists as James Morrison, Damien Rice, and Jay-Z, Sheeran looks to be a long-lasting performer and writer who will only continue to garner critical praise and sell out shows. Listen to the recent Sheeran profile on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition," and check out his music and more at EdSheeran.com.

Expert: Minnesota's constitutional amendments throughout history
The fate of some proposed state constitutional amendments is coming down to the wire at the Capitol, where the regular session ends on Monday. Majority Republicans have pushed several ideas which do not need the signature of the governor to be put on the ballot in the fall of 2012.
They include a requirement to show a photo ID when voting, a ban on same-sex marriage, and a requirement to have a supermajority in the legislature to approve many tax increases.
Having multiple amendments on the ballot, if it happens, isn't all that unusual. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with David Schultz about the sometimes colorful history of changing the state's constitution. Schultz is a professor at Hamline University and Senior Fellow at the Institute of Law and Politics at the University of Minnesota.

Known as the Queen Elizabeth Fields Challenge in Scotland, where it is still ongoing, this is the most successful engagement and land protection programme ever run by Fields in Trust. We created a grassroots legacy across the UK from 2012's big events, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympic & Paralympic Games.
We worked with 873 landowners from parish councils to sports clubs, local authorities to charitable groups. Over 20,000 acres have been nominated for protection through the Challenge, on 1585 sites.
Fields in Trust were committed to producing a strong and eduring legacy from the Olympics, in the name of Her Majesty, which shows in the numbers. Operating since 1925, in the years before the Challenge, Fields in Trust protected 1,180 sites covering 7,377 acres.
"Through the Challenge we feel assured that this space will belong to everyone forever. This, for us, is a treasure beyond measure"
Margaret Hall – Townley, Alderton Parish
We don't just work to safeguard sites forever, we help their landowners make them as good as they can be so they become loved and used by their community. One of the ways we do this is by securing funding to offer to Fields in Trust fields.
Last year over £1.6 million was awarded to QEII Fields either directly from Fields in Trust, or through the QEII Fields Funds from SITA Trust.
We've been helping communities to make their dreams for their spaces a reality. The funding resulted in new play trails, walking tracks, wildflower meadows, multi-use games areas and rejuvenated pavilions.
"The smiles on people's faces say it all; this ugly duckling of a park has become a beautiful swan! Thank you FIT!"
Please view some of our Funding case studies
We want to reward the hard work and enthusiasm of the people across the UK who value their outdoor spaces. Whilst we can't reach everyone, we created the inaugural Fields in Trust awards to recognise and appreciate those who work hard to ensure communities across the UK have access to high quality outdoor recreational space. In 2012 these focused on the QEII Fields Challenge. Prizes included an overnight stay in a hotel; £10,000 of play equipment and other fantastic prizes. Keep an eye out for this year's Awards ceremony!
"It was a lovely evening and it was great to meet like-minded people who's whole ethos is to save open spaces, or improve the land."
Peter Simonnett, Community Champion winner

A Simple and Elegant Wedding at Bella Collina in Montverde, Florida
Although the nuptials of Brett and Staci Miller took place in Central Florida, it looked more like a wedding in the Italian countryside. Brett, 32, who works in air traffic control, married Staci, 26, a school testing specialist, in a simple yet elegant ceremony at Bella Collina, a Tuscan-inspired venue in Montverde, Florida. The bride and groom first met while working at the aquarium at Epcot at Walt Disney World. After dating for a year, they became engaged while watching the Magic Kingdom fireworks show. The couple chose to wed at Bella Collina because it was conveniently located while being unlike most venues in Florida. A color palette of brown, navy blue and silver brought their vision of simplistic elegance to life. Brett and Staci exchanged vows in an outdoor ceremony overlooking rolling hills just before sunset. Afterward, guests were treated to a cocktail hour with mini grilled cheeses with tomato soup and lobster mac and cheese followed by a sit-down dinner of chicken, steak or pasta with vegetables. The couple made sure to incorporate special and personalized elements into the celebration, including a handfasting ritual as part of the ceremony.

Okay guys so say i wanted to take in code from a scanner object for an example
i do something like this
System.out.println("EXPRESSION MIN_X MAX_X MIN_Y MAX_Y DELTA_X WIDTH HEIGHT");
Where i want the user to enter in something as the following "((x^2)-50)" -10 +10 -100 +100 0.01 800 500
now would there be anyway of optimizing my code so that i dont have to keep doing something like this:
Scanner inScan = new Scanner (System.in); System.out.println("Enter Expression:"); String expression = inScan.nextLine(); System.out.println("Enter MIN_X"); int Min_X = inScan.nextInt();
and just simply extract code from one scanner call?
Do you understand what i mean?
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks to Rochelle Wiseoff-Fields for hosting FF.
Bruno's days were spent turning the wheel, bored and physically exhausted. At night he returned to his hovel, barely awake enough to eat thin gruel. In the day there was mead to ensure the serfs didn't rebel.
But the mead wasn't helping today. Bruno glared at the the serf master, upset he didn't even know what or why this wheel turned.
One day when the serf master tried to whip them, Bruno reached out and caught the whip grabbing it and knocking the serf master out. He ran as far away as he could run.
Bruno heard in the east, a landowner was giving out pieces of property in return for part of the proceeds; he thought this would be a much better living — at least, he hoped.

Customize QuickBooks 2014 Invoices with the Layout Designer Tool
Perhaps you've used QuickBooks 2014's Basic Customization dialog box to make some changes to your invoice's appearance, and you haven't been satisfied. Maybe you've gone the extra mile and noodled around with the Additional Customization dialog box to make further changes, and maybe even that hasn't left you happy with the appearance of your invoice.
Do you have any additional recourse? Are you stuck with an invoice that doesn't look right or that doesn't work for your organization? Heck, no!
If you click the Layout Designer button, which is available in both the Basic Customization and Additional Customization dialog boxes, QuickBooks displays the Layout Designer window.
The Layout Designer window lets you move invoice information around on the actual printed invoice. Your best bet for finding out how to work with the Layout Designer tool is to experiment with it. You can create an example invoice form template — something you don't really care about — and then use this new invoice form template for some goofing around.
Here are some of the things that you may want to try:
Moving and resizing objects: You can move and resize objects on the form pretty easily. To move some bit of the form, first select the bit by clicking it. Then use the arrow keys or drag the mouse to move the selected bit. You can resize the selected bit in a similar way.
Resize the selected object by dragging the black squares (called resizing handles) that show that the object is selected. When moving and resizing invoice form objects, keep two points in mind:
You can select the Show Envelope Window check box to have QuickBooks draw envelope windows on the invoice form to show you where these appear. You want to have envelope windows shown to make sure that your customized invoice still has its address information showing through.
You can click the Grid button to display the Grid and Snap Settings dialog box. This dialog box provides two check boxes where you can indicate whether QuickBooks should use a grid (those are the dots you see) to more accurately line up invoice objects on the form.
The Grid and Snap Settings dialog box also includes a Snap To Grid box so you can tell QuickBooks that it should make gridlines sticky. Sticky gridlines automatically attract invoice objects so that you can more easily line up the objects against the gridlines. The Grid and Snap Settings dialog box also includes a Grid Spacing box that you can use to specify how wide or narrow QuickBooks should draw gridlines.
Selecting objects: You can select multiple objects on the invoice by dragging the mouse. To do so, click at a point above the top-leftmost object that you want to select, and drag the mouse to a point that is just below the bottom-rightmost object that you want to select.
As you drag the mouse from one corner to the other, QuickBooks draws a rectangle. Any object that's inside this rectangle when you release the mouse gets selected.
Resizing multiple objects: You can change the height, width, and size of multiple selected objects by clicking the Make Same Width, Make Same Height, and Make Same Size buttons. To use these Make Same buttons, you first select the objects that you want to make the same.
Changing column widths: You can change the width of columns in the column area of the invoice form by clicking the Column object. After you do this and QuickBooks selects the columns area, drag the column divider line left or right to resize the column.
Note that if you make column 1 narrower, QuickBooks makes column 2 wider to take up the space. Also note that you can resize the entire column area in the manner described in the preceding point.
Positioning text within fields: If you click an invoice object and then click the Properties button, QuickBooks displays the Properties dialog box. The Properties dialog box includes a Text tab that lets you specify how text should appear within an invoice object area. The Properties dialog box also includes a Border tab that lets you specify whether QuickBooks should draw a border along the edges of the invoice object.
Changing fonts: You can change the font used for the selected object by clicking the Properties button, clicking the Text tab of the Properties dialog box, and then clicking the Font button that appears on this tab. QuickBooks displays the Example dialog box. The Example dialog box lets you choose a font; font style; a point size; and special effects, such as strikeout, underlining, and color.
Adjusting margins: If you click the Margins button, QuickBooks displays the Margins dialog box (not shown), which includes Top, Bottom, Left, and Right text boxes that you use to specify the margin around the invoice. The default or initial margin settings equal half an inch.
Center a selected object on an invoice form by clicking the Center button to activate the Layout Designer. You can click the Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons to see more or less detail. If you want to undo your most recent change, click Undo, or click the Redo button to undo your last undo option.
After you use the Layout Designer to make whatever changes are appropriate to your new invoice form template, click OK to save your changes.
