The World's Largest Butterfly Exhibit Butterfly World, Festival Flea Market
Butterfly World is the result of one man's hobby gone wild. Ten acres of aviaries and botanical gardens. Tropical Rain Forest, Butterfly Farm, Rose Garden, Hummingbirds, Lorikeets and a good sized gift shop. Next door to Butterfly World is a collection of bargain shops and a large food court at the Festival Indoor Flea Market which is an attraction in itself. On the return trip a drive by Caps place which used to require a short ferry ride to visit on an island frequented by Al Capone. Caps most famous guests arrived in January 1942, just weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin D Roosevelt held war conferences at the Hillsboro Beach Estate of Secretary of State Edward R Stettinus, just a short walk from Cap's Landing dock. It was natural for them to ferry over to Cap's for a meal or two in the Yellow Room. Often in attendance were members of the Allied command. Members $65 guests $70 includes transportation and admissions. Leave SB 8am and Suntree 8:15 am Return around 7:30pm.

Jonathon Dickinson State Park Nature Boat Ride and Blowing Rocks Preserve Mini Old Faithful!
The Loxahatchee Queen II takes visitors on a two-hour tour of the river, with a stop at the restored camp of Trapper Nelson, the "Wildman of the Loxahatchee." At the site, park staff lead visitors around the grounds and buildings of a true Florida original, who made his living off the land as a trapper and fur trader. Once fame caught up with Trapper, however, he evolved himself and his home into one of the area's first tourist attractions, "Trapper's Zoo and Jungle Gardens." Trapper's unsolved death in 1968 gives a fitting sense of mystery to the site. Trapper's is open 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Thursday through Monday, and is accessible only by private canoe or boat or by the concession's tour boat. After 50 years of protecting Florida's great places, The Nature Conservancy considers Blowing Rocks Preserve a top success story.This peaceful, barrier island sanctuary is a well known model for large-scale, native coastal habitat restoration. The carefully restored habitats found here are disappearing fast from many Florida islands! And, a number of endangered plants and animals call this special place home – including three rare sea turtle species. The preserve was named for its rocky Anastasia limestone shoreline – the largest on the U.S. Atlantic coast. During extreme high tides and after winter storms, seas break against the rocks and force plumes of saltwater up to 50 feet skyward. It's an impressive sight.
Leave CB 8:30am SB9a and Suntree 9:15am and Palm Bay 9:40am with a return around 5 to 5:30pm. Members $60 Guests $65 includes admissions, boat ride, tour, guide and transportation.
In conjunction with MOAA Military Group
Tuesday, 24 April 2012, we have a great bus trip to: 1). the Navy SEAL Museum in Ft. Pierce; 2). a luxurious lunch at Mangrove Matties, overlooking the Ft. Pierce Inlet and jetty rock formations directly across from the WW-II SEAL training site; and 3). the Smithsonian Marine and Aquarium in Ft. Pierce. Lee will be our tour guide
In 2007 we took a trip to the SEAL Museum. Since then the museum has nearly doubled in size and has added many new exhibits. One addition is the 10,000 pound fiberglass lifeboat on which the Somalia pirates held the Maersk Alabama Captain hostage for four days in 2009 before the Navy SEALs shot and killed the pirates.
At the Mangrove Matties restaurant you will have a lunch choice of fish, chicken or a beef entrée. The Smithsonian Aquarium visitors can explore six different Florida marine habitats. The largest aquarium is a model of a Caribbean coral reef. Other displays include living models of sea-grass, mangrove, estuarine and near shore habitants, as well as a deep water Ocarina coral reef. There are several smaller aquarium displays and a touch tank where you can meet some of our local sea creatures. The cost for this trip is $70 per person, which includes transportation, admissions, lunch, escort and wine & crackers on the return trip. You can board the bus at 8 AM at the South parking lot of the Tides, Patrick AFB, or at 8:30 AM at the Indian River Colony Club (IRCC). Our return is scheduled for 5 PM.
This tour includes many sights to view such as the Hebrew Academy, Historic Temple Emanuel, The Public Mikvah (Water Ritual), The Holocaust Memorial, The Cuban Hebrew Congregation and the Schul in Bal Harbor along with a visit to the Jewish Museum.
The JEWISH MUSEUM OF FLORIDA opened in 1995 in a former historic synagogue that housed the first congregation on Miami Beach. Built in 1936, the Henry Hohauser designed building that underwent a two-year restoration for $1.5 million, boasts Art Deco features, a copper dome and 80 stained glass windows. In 2007 the Museum expanded into the original 1929 synagogue next door after a one-year restoration for $1 million. Both buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2008, the two buildings were connected via a skylighted Bistro. The Museum is much more than beautiful buildings. It is a place that presents its own and traveling exhibits; sponsors cultural and educational programs; houses a Collections & Research Center reflecting nearly 250 years of Florida Jewish history; and communicates Jewish history, art, culture and values to Jews and non-Jews alike in an informal mode. The Museum is also a place where Jews of all ages and stripes discover and reaffirm their rich heritage – thus helping to strengthen Jewish identity and continuity.
Where the traveling exhibit was the launch, the JEWISH MUSEUM OF FLORIDA further delves into the state's rich Jewish history of yesterday and today – for the future. Whether your family has lived in Florida for eight generations, as some have, or just arrived – YOUR story is an important tile in the MOSAIC.

Historic District of Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island ‑
Fernandina moved from Old Town to its present location to become the terminus of Florida=s first cross‑state railroad, constructed 1856‑61 from Fernandina to Cedar Key. In 1973, a 30‑block area of Fernandina was named a Historic District in the National Register of Historic Places because of the amazing preservation of late Victorian architecture. In 1987 the District was expanded to include 50 blocks. Today, we will enjoy a driving and walking tour, stopping to visit the most impressive of the 44 incredible buildings. Fernandina Beach is a slice of Victorian Decor. The B&B's are the showcase for that industry. The town's history includes rulers of eight different flags including some colorful Pirate characters. The extensive Amelia Island Plantation sits in a landscaped and wooded setting next to two State Parks. Another State Park is Fort Clinch which has Canon Demonstrations, outfits and civil war history. Touring the fort's medical facilities from that time period is fascinating although painful even to look at. The fort sits directly over the water from Georgia. The festival entertainment includes musical acts directly overlooking the harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. The festival booths extend for several blocks in two directions with buildings to browse through including Florida's oldest pub and the courthouse. The driving tour includes some scenic buildings and homes of the Victorian Style. Members $65 Guests $70 Leave Suntree 7:45a SB 8am and CB 8:30am return around 9-10pm.

In addition to preserving Florida's agricultural past, the museum is also active in the conservation of heritage livestock including rare Florida Cracker Cattle and Horses.

Then off to the woods on a tractor pulled trailer to tour an 1890s farmhouse with hands-on activities as well as meeting the farm animals. Our journey continues to Florida's Black Cowboy Museum then onto a turn of the last century Dry Goods Store where we'll see how our ancestors shopped and discover the uses of many of the tools they used in their everyday life. Your tour will last from 1½ to 2 hours and is well worth the time spent. Wear comfortable walking shoes, remember you're on a farm.
Guests to Gamble Place can step back in time to experience the same pristine environment that James N. Gamble (of Procter & Gamble) found so inviting during his first visit to the area in the late 1800's. This 175-acre property, included in the National Register of Historic Places features an historic home, cottage and Citrus Packing House. The "Florida cracker-style" house, named "Egwanulti" (a Native American word meaning "by the water"), was built in 1907, and was used as a winter retreat. The once privately-owned Citrus Packing House is the only one currently in existence in its original location In addition to the buildings, visitors can observe wildlife, ancient cypress trees and beautiful azalea blossoms.ion in Florida.

May 19th- The Blueberry Festival, Micanopy and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Cracker Home
One could make an argument that the two most influential authors who lived in Florida were Hemingway and Rawlings and their paths crossed. The author of the Yearling and Cross Creek had a homestead in pre-developed Florida and the slogan today is still "the town time forgot". It is inspirational to see her old fashioned typewriter still on display on the enclosed porch area in the old thyme cracker home which was so vividly described in her writing. The creek which is the subject of a follow up book is right nearby on the present day State Park's property. The whole area is a throwback in time. In fact, Micanopy which is filled with Oak Trees, boutiques and art galleries was the set for the Michael J Fox Movie, Doc Hollywood. Today you will have the opportunity to experience the Restaurant known as the Yearling named after the book and famous for its' Southern Cuisine. The area also hosts a substantial collection of antiques available for viewing on this excursion. The Blueberry Festival had bluegrass music and other entertainment and booths on display on this day. $55 members and $59 guests includes tours, entrances, guide and transportation Leave Suntree 7:15am SB 7:30am and CB 8am with a return around 7:30pm.

This includes a nature walk down a number of steps with many lookout points along the way. Lunch will be at Satchel's Nationally renowned Pizzeria with Subs, salads and Pastas. Believe or not this was a former junkyard (excuse me antique collectors depot) which gained National attention during the weekly CBS broadcast of the Gators on SEC Saturdays when a sports announcer couldn't stop raving about Satchels. The University Museum of natural History is the best in the State with wonderful exhibits and dioramas of our past and the Harn Art Museum in the same complex has several art collections and an original Monet.

Chapter 3 Comes to an End
Let me tell you a little story about my friend Brian Davis. This story has four short chapters. Chapter 1 (1987-88): I worked with Brian for a couple years beginning in 1987 as we traveled the country with Life Action Ministries in a 1970's Silver Eagle tour bus. We worked in some of the largest churches in the country at that time, and saw some amazing things happen. I didn't know we were forging a life-long friendship--but looking back I'm not surprised. We always had a great connection.
Our paths went different directions for awhile as Brian went off to college and I continued my work with Life Action--until I joined the Granger staff in 1994.
Chapter 2 (1997-2002): Toward the end of 1997, we had a children's ministry bursting at the seams with over 300 kids every week and no staff. We didn't know who to hire. My friend Brian was also in transition, so I asked him to come up (from Missouri) and join us for an interim 6-month position until we could find the right person. He came, and at the end of the 6 months our church had fallen in love with him. He was definitely the right person and we hired him in a permanent role as our Children's Ministry Director. Brian became very close to my family. He came over to the house about once a week to hang and watch LeFemme Nikita, our favorite show in the mid-90's. (If you missed it, I'm truly sorry).
Brian stayed on the team until around 2002 when God (or was it Mike?) called him to sunny Florida.
Chapter 3 (2006-2011): By 2006, the ministry had grown to more than 1000 kids weekly. Georgia, our children's director (who Brian had hired as a nursery leader a few years earlier), came to me and asked if she could hire Brian Davis back (he now lived in sunny southern California) to be our Elementary Director. Frankly, I was shocked that Brian would even consider living in the north again (he is a Mississippi boy with thin blood), but was delighted when he agreed to join the team once again.
Brian has served us well these past 5 years. And especially the past few months as we have been in a state of transition. I wrote the book (yes, literally) on "long hellos and short goodbyes" -- so when Brian decided a couple months ago to move back to southern California, I was reluctant to have him hang around much longer. But he stayed for a couple months to help us through a tough season of transition and has been amazing. Brian's last day in Granger is today. Rarely have I seen a church staff member leave so well with high integrity and a great attitude.
Chapter 4 (?): I'm not sure what the future holds, but I won't be surprised if there is another chapter ahead for me and Brian. He's been a great friend for the past 23 years. He's one in a small circle of people who I know has my back and would do anything for me. And I feel the same about him.
Brian, you will be missed.

Arrive Johannesburg, South Africa
Arrive in Johannesburg and transfer to your hotel. Tonight, enjoy a gourmet welcome dinner prepared with locally sourced ingredients. A professional photographer joins you to offer tips for the days ahead.
Livingstone, Zambia | Sundowner River Cruise
Fly to Livingstone, Zambia, where you are met by your A&K Resident Tour Director. Continue to Sanctuary Sussi & Chuma, where you stay in a luxury tree house built into the riverside canopy. At twilight, cruise the Zambezi River, sipping cocktails and gazing out across a verdant and teeming vista set against the boundless African sky, on a memorable Scenic Sundowner.
Livingstone | Nakatindi Village Visit
Begin with a guided walking tour of Victoria Falls from the Zambian side. Get a closer view of the mighty Zambezi River as it cascades over a 1.2-mile-wide basalt lip. Afterward, you may choose to peruse local crafts, including excellent wood carvings, on a pleasant market visit. Then, gain insight into local daily life with a visit to a school and clinic supported by A&K Philanthropy in Nakatindi Village. Return to camp for a cocktail and a Chef's Table tasting of traditional Zambian fare, followed by dinner.
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe | "The Smoke That Thunders"
This morning, drive to Zimbabwe to visit awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, which plummet 354 feet to cast up the mist that inspired their original name, Mosi-oa-Tunya ("The Smoke That Thunders"). Afterward, visit an artist's village, where you have the opportunity to meet local artisans and observe them at work. Enjoy lunch in the town of Victoria Falls before continuing to Chobe National Park in Botswana, where you settle into your lodge for unparalleled panoramic views across islands and floodplains of the Chobe River. This afternoon, set out on a game drive that includes elephants — a staggering 120,000 live in the park — along with impalas, buffalo and possibly lions. Return to the lodge to relax in the comforts of your luxury accommodations and enjoy a freshly prepared meal. Later, drift to sleep, serenaded by the sounds of Africa beneath a blanket of stars.
Chobe National Park, Botswana | Chobe River Safari
Set out on a game drive at sunrise to catch the animals at the start of their day, when they are most active. You may even glimpse a leopard returning from the hunt. Later, embark on a Chobe River safari cruise aboard a double-decker boat and watch for crocodiles and hippos, as well as elephants that come down to drink and play in the water. The park's beautiful wetlands also lure a wealth of birdlife to the region and you may glimpse any of the 460 species that either live here or migrate through, including raptors, vultures and waterfowl. When you return to the lodge this evening, revel in the comforts of your luxury accommodations, enjoy a freshly prepared meal and share stories of your day.
Okavango Delta | Wetlands Wildlife
Fly to your vast private concession in the Okavango Delta, the largest inland delta in the world. The afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure with a choice of game-viewing activities, such as a seasonal mokoro (dugout canoe) ride on the delta or a nighttime game-viewing drive, made possible on this private reserve. The next morning, continue with your choice of activities. Set off on a thrilling, guided game drive in a customized 4x4 vehicle or a bush walk in the company of an armed, expert guide, on the lookout for giraffes, hippos, lions and cheetahs.
Okavango Delta | Predator Capital
Fly across the Okavango Delta to your next amazing safari camp, where you enjoy incredible game drives in or around the Moremi Game Reserve. Widely acknowledged as the "Predator Capital of the World," this area offers some of the most exciting game viewing in Africa and is one of the best places in Botswana to see the country's "Big Five" — lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and Cape buffalo — drawn here from surrounding regions by the lush delta. Predators include cheetahs, spotted hyenas and, at the very top of the food chain, large resident prides of lions. White and black rhinos are also found here. This afternoon, take advantage of game-viewing activities led by experienced driver-guides or enjoy the vistas from your own private viewing deck.
Okavango Delta | Remarkable Game Drives
Depart on another spectacular early morning game drive. Beyond predators, the Okavango Delta draws large concentrations of elephants, buffalo, red lechwes, giraffes and impalas. Enjoy a seasonal mokoro ride for a rare safari opportunity across deceptively quiet marshlands alive with crocodiles, bathing hippos, birds and tiny red reed frogs. If you opt for an afternoon game drive, listen for roaring lions on the hunt or spy nocturnal animals as they start out for the night. After a full day of game viewing, return to your camp to relax and enjoy a farewell dinner.

Definition / general
- Common metaplastic process that occurs in transformation zone
- Common during puberty, pregnancy and postpartum
- During the reproductive years, the transformation zone (where metaplasia occurs) is distal to external cervical os
- In the postmenopausal years, the T zone may become more proximal and within the endocervical canal
- Due to proliferation of reserve cells under columnar cells
- First step in the process is reserve cell hyperplasia; then squamous differentiation begins which is immature; then mature squamous metaplasia, which fills endocervical glands
- Promoted by increased acidity at puberty, inflammation, polyps, OCP (oral contraceptive) use
Prognostic factors
- Endocervical and metaplastic cells in the Pap test is associated with higher detection rates of HSIL (Diagn Cytopathol 2009;37:241)
- Atypical metaplastic cells in the Pap test is associated with SIL, especially HSIL (Cancer 2001;93:16, Cancer 1999;87:56)
Cytology description
- Immature squamous metaplasia
- Associated with endocervical cells
- Arranged in cobblestone pattern (jigsaw pattern) or singly
- Parabasal like cells with dense, dark cytoplasm reduced in quantity, increased N/C ratio
- Blue cytoplasm with sharp cell border; often cytoplasmic vacuoles
- Round to oval nuclei with smooth membrane and fine chromatin
- Spidery forms are common
- Nucleoli are present if reactive process
- May resemble reserve cell hyperplasia
- In liquid based cytology, they have higher N/C ratio and can mimic HSIL
- Mature squamous metaplasia
- Resembles intermediate cells but with denser cytoplasm and rounded cell outlines
- Normal N/C ratio

Villa Finale: Museum & Gardens, the final home of local preservationist Walter Nold Mathis and the only National Trust for Historic Preservation site in Texas, recently became the recipient of a generous grant from the King William Association. This grant helps to ensure that Villa Finale's educational series for children and families continues to thrive.
Educational programming for children and families has become an incredibly important part of Villa Finale's annual lineup, and incorporates a variety of activities for children and their families throughout the year, aligning with holidays and school breaks for maximum reach and participation.
Villa Finale's family programming has always been neighborhood-centric. This is a natural fit, as Villa Finale was designed and preserved as a vital component of the King William neighborhood. We are committed to maintaining that close relationship with our neighbors. An annual architectural scavenger hunt brings children from all over the city to our beautiful neighborhood. This year's hunt introduced a "mystery" twist and featured neighbor Anne Alexander in a starring role. "A Spooktacular Halloween at Villa Finale" draws children and families all over the city to the neighborhood for an old-fashioned carnival, in the tradition of 19th century Halloween celebrations.
The now-annual presentation of "A Christmas Carol" draws participation from talented neighbors (including director Diane Malone) and students from Bonham Academy. The entire cast will be back for this year's production! And the "Junior Preservationist Workbook," grant-funded by the King William Association, will be featured heavily in planned summer programming for 2018.
More than just a house museum, Villa Finale exists as a centerpiece of the neighborhood. The staff and volunteers work to weave the story of Villa Finale into the fabric of the community, and to the greater preservation-minded community at large. The KWA grant helps to ensure that future generations will continue to consider preservation not just an opportunity but a responsibility.
We look forward to the coming year of dynamic family programming and to many years of continued partnership and collaboration with our neighbors in King William.
- Farrah Varga
Marketing & Development Coordinator

Grissom, Terry, Lim, Lay Cheng and DeLisle, James (2012) Systematic Risk Pricing and Investment Performance of UK and US Property Markets. Journal of European Real Estate Research, 5 (1). pp. 66-87. [Journal article]
Full text not available from this repository.
URL: http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=17031661&show=abstract
Purpose – This paper investigates the strategy that a turnaround in the US will portend a turnaround in the UK's economy and property market. For this strategy to operate, it is assumed that the capital and property markets in and between the two nations are highly integrated with endogenous pricing functions. Design/methodology/approach – Given the endogenous assumptions of the conjectured research statement, tests of integration (or segmentation) between two capital and property markets are conducted. Correlation, tracking error analysis, and a multiple systematic risk factor model are used to test the pricing relationships. The methodological form employs variant macroeconomic variable pricing models (MVM) of alternative combinations of systematic affects operating across and between the national markets. Findings – Pricing integration is noted between the UK and US capital markets, while the property markets are economically and statistically segmented. Opportunities for arbitrage based on different prices/returns for equivalent risk exposures are statistically observed between the UK and US. The effect is that systematic pricing between the two markets cannot be addressed solely by diversification options. This infers a potential for arbitrage (statistically, strategically or in practice) is possible, given that systematic risk exposures between the two markets are not equivalently priced across cyclical phases. In this context it is inferred that the probable measure of pricing differences across the two markets is more than a cyclical lag effect. Practical implications – The paper identifies that global capital markets are integrated, while the property markets between the UK and US are segmented. The complexity of integrated capital markets and segmented property markets produce different returns/prices for comparable systematic risk experienced across the two nations. This supports a potential for statistical arbitrage, if not strategic arbitrage between the two markets. This further supports the rejection of the conjectured turnaround strategy and establishes a basis for research into modelling an international investment/portfolio strategy that can assist in not only pricing expectations, but also in optimizing diversification decisions.Originality/value –The paper delineates the degrees of integration/segmentation in UK and US property and capital markets as a function of systematic risks in changing economic conditions. These differences support the existence of statistical arbitrage and the specification of investment behaviour as a function of differencing pricing expectations. These findings can assist in the formulation of investment and hedging strategies to assist in managing international portfolios subject to cyclical market exposures. This paper contributes to an understanding and foundation for testing the nature and impact of cycles on property investment performance as a function of pricing changes.

Marlin and Luca were rescued a year ago. They had been left behind, in filthy conditions and without food and water, on a foreclosed property along with over 60 other hungry cats.
Luca was the first cat to be rescued. She was so hungry that, despite her shy nature, she hovered around our cars when we pulled up with food and quickly went into a live trap. Luca spent time in three different foster homes, where she lived with other cats and learned all about trusting people again—especially people with food. Luca loves her food!
Marlin, who often prefers to stay undercover, was unknown to volunteers until he turned up in one of the live traps we set in the living room of the foreclosed house. He was the only cat already neutered out of 60 we found on the property. Marlin was scared and had a big hiss, but you could tell he was a sweet, gentle, undemanding guy. Over the next few weeks, he was a comfort cat for many of the other cats we rescued from the property. You could always find a little girl cat—Little Turnip, Trix, Libby, or Luca—snuggled up with Marlin in his carrier. Marlin has always preferred sleeping in a carrier. Even in his foster home where Marlin came out to play, purr, and give head-butts to his foster people, Marlin liked to be able to retreat to the safety of his cat carrier.
Many of Marlin and Luca's friends have already found loving homes, and Marlin and Luca are waiting for theirs at the Feline Rescue Adoption Center. Marlin and Luca will do great in a home with patient, understanding people. Feed them regular meals of yummy canned food to keep them healthy, and you will see them come out of their shells even faster. Here they were at playtime/snacktime with their buddy Trix (who's been adopted) in their foster home.
If you're looking for a couple of cats that are sweet but quiet and that get along well with other cats, spend some time getting to know Marlin and Luca. Don't judge them by how shy they are at the adoption center. Once Marlin and Luca get settled comfortably into a home, you will discover how sweet and entertaining they really are.
To meet them stop by the Adoption Center or call Molly for more information: 651-295-3758.

Protesters demonstrate outside Duke Energy building
A loud crowd of people protesting Duke Energy's activities packed the sidewalk outside its corporate headquarters in uptown Charlotte Thursday morning as people arrived for the company's shareholder meeting.
Protesters carried signs and pulled "crime scene" tape along the sidewalk. They chanted and banged drums. One woman dressed up like they Statue of Liberty.
Much of the ire of the crowd was focused on Duke's response to a Feb. 2 coal ash spill in the Dan River.
"They have poisoned the water and want us to pay for the cleanup," said Ruth Zalph of Chapel Hill, echoing a sentiment shared by many of the protesters. Zalph called herself a "raging granny."
Duke has said it would pay to clean up the Dan River spill, but that it would seek approval from state regulators to pass the costs of closing its 33 North Carolina ash ponds to customers.
A Duke spokesman, Tom Williams, was walking near the protesters. "This is a passionate crowd. They're always passionate," he said. "They care deeply about the environment and so do we."
Asheville resident Kendall Hale, the woman dressed in the Statue of Liberty costume, said she was concerned that Duke Energy had too much influence over state government. "It's almost a state-owned monopoly," she said.
Several protesters conceded they did not expect to have an immediate impact on the shareholders inside the building, but they still hoped their message would get out.
Gov. Pat McCrory was the focus of some of the signs, including one with his picture that read "For Sale —Sold." Another one had McCrory and several other state officials' names under pictures of four of the Three Stooges.
Other signs included: "No Mo' Coal;" "Clean Up Your Mess At Your Own Expense;" and "Dirty Energy, Dirty Politics, Dirty Duke."
The Rev. William Barber II, president of the North Carolina NAACP, criticized what he called extremists in state government and their "seeming disdain for the voice of the people and the legislation that would protect the people from the monopolized and harmful action of a business."
Barber and others speakers also led the crowd in various protest chants.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers kept watch over the peaceful demonstration. City officials declared the shareholders meeting an Extraordinary Event, which gives police additional powers to regulate items that people can bring with them into the area near the Duke headquarters.

11 years ago, we introduced static natural memory visualization technique according to our memory visualization tool classification. The program we wrote appended BMP file header at the beginning of a DMP file (the source code was published in Memory Dump Analysis Anthology, Volume 2). However, it had the limitation of 4GB BMP image file format which we followed strictly. Because of that, we switched to other image processing tools that allow interpretation of memory as a RAW picture (see Large-scale Structure of Memory Space). Recently, some readers of Memory Dump Analysis Anthology, researchers, and memory visualization enthusiasts asked me for the updated version that can handle memory dumps bigger than 4GB. To allow bigger files, we used the workaround (which we plan to add to our Workaround Patterns catalog) by ignoring the file size structure fields for file sizes higher than 4GB. Some image file viewers ignore these fields (we used IrfanView 64-bit for testing). We took the opportunity to use the latest C++17 standard while refactoring the Windows legacy source code.
The full source code and Visual Studio 17 solution with built Release x64 executable can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/softwarediagnostics/dump2picture
Below are some images we produced.

We are proud to offer underwater photography courses in Bali and throughout Indonesia through our "Bali Academy of Underwater Photography".
World-renowned underwater photography instructors Mike Veitch and Luca Vaime lead our team of experienced instructors who offer a variety of courses based on individual need and experience; our photography workshops range from one day tune-ups to one week workshops. We are based full time in Bali, Indonesia and our specialty is working with underwater photographers who are interested in improving their skill set in a fun and rewarding environment. Bali is one of the best locations on the planet to scuba dive and is home to a large variety of underwater photography subjects: from large manta rays to the tiniest pygmy seahorses, Bali is home to almost every marine species in the Indo Pacific region.
Our courses are custom made to suit the needs of all of our clients and we will communicate with our guests before their arrival in order to create a program that will improve the students photography in the most efficient manner. Our courses range from an intensive class aimed at introducing beginners to the wonderful world of underwater photography to more advanced courses which deal with specific sub genres of photography for more experienced shooters.

All Issues > Volume 24, Issue 5
Serving the Lord with gladness, according to the dictionary, means to serve Him while showing joy, being brightly cheerful, and having an inner feeling of contentment and gratification. Because the Lord of the universe allows us to actually have a part in building His kingdom, we "raise a glad cry" (Is 44:23). We gratefully tell the Lord: "I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, Most High" (Ps 9:3).
This gladness transcends our circumstances. From his prison, St. Paul tells his coworkers: "Even if my life is to be poured out as a libation over the sacrificial service of your faith, I am glad of it and rejoice with all of you. May you be glad on the same score, and rejoice with me!" (Phil 2:17-18)
When we serve the Lord with gladness, others catch on. God especially wants all people to "be glad in the Lord and rejoice" (Ps 32:11; see also Ps 67:5). God promises: "The lowly will hear Me and be glad" (Ps 34:3). Many will tell the Lord: " 'You changed my mourning into dancing; You took off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness' (Ps 30:12). 'You are my Shelter; from distress You will preserve me; with glad cries of freedom You will ring me round' (Ps 32:7). 'When cares abound within me, Your comfort gladdens my soul' (Ps 94:19). 'Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices, my body, too, abides in confidence' (Ps 16:9)."
"Hear the sounds of joy and gladness" (Ps 51:10). "Meet with joy and gladness" (Is 35:10). "Serve the Lord with gladness."

Lack of global growth greatest concern for Europe's HNW investors, JP Morgan finds
More than 45% of European high net worth individuals consider lack of global growth to be the biggest investment concern in 2013, according to a study on more than 1000 investors completed by J.P. Morgan Private Bank.
More than 45% of European high net worth individuals consider lack of global growth to be the biggest investment concern in 2013, according to a study on more than 1000 investors completed by J.P. Morgan Private Bank.
The survey, which took place before the current crisis in Cyprus, revealed other concerns were political (23%), geopolitical unrest (15%), monetary policy mistakes (11%) and inflation (4%) this year.
However, when asked which asset class will outperform over the next 12 months, 60% asserted equities will outperform, following on the strong performance of fixed income markets in 2012.
The remaining 40% were split between private equity (19%), commodities (10%) and hedge funds (9%). High Net Worth investors in Spain, France, Italy and Switzerland were found to have the most optimistic outlook towards equity markets, with 72%, 70%, 59% and 57%, respectively.
Supporting the view that equities will be the outperforming asset class of 2013, more than 35% said they had increased their exposure to European equities in the last six months, and more than 60% per cent said they seek to increase their allocation to equities in 2013.
In particular, investors based in the UK, Switzerland and Italy showed the most enthusiasm towards boosting asset allocation in equities.
Despite the reduction of tail risk in Europe and signs of recovery in the US, 28% of responses believed emerging market equities will be the best performers in the next 12 months while 24% agreed the US will be a top performing market.
This was followed by Asia ex-Japan at 18%. Further down the rankings, 14% of those surveyed believed the European periphery will perform better than the European core (10%).
Japan was least favoured at 6%.
Cesar Perez, chief investment strategist for J.P. Morgan Private Bank in EMEA said: "We believe 2013 will be led much more by fundamentals than political, event or tail risk. Global growth is likely to improve in the second half of the year, though we expect to remain below trend at around plus 3 per cent. All-in-all, 2013 is not the year to be out of the markets as we return to a more normalised market environment with less volatility, correlation and systemic risk. Europe is far from being "fixed," but better financial conditions are already benefitting the global economy."
He added: "Europe in particular appears inexpensive on a valuation basis. While equity risk premium associated with European stocks remains high, we believe that in the near term, it is high for a reason. Throughout 2013, we will be looking closely at Europe for potential investment opportunities."

Benzodiazepine addiction is a serious issue for many, with some users becoming addicted after a single dose. A GP from Cork in Ireland has called for the higher dosage tablets of these drugs to be taken off the market to try to reduce their availability as street drugs.
Usage of Benzodiazepines
These drugs have calming and sedative effects and have been prescribed since the 1960s for the treatment of various disorders including insomnia, anxiety, and seizures. Initially, the medical profession was not fully aware of their potential for addiction, and so they were very widely used. Some patients prescribed these drugs thirty or forty years ago are still receiving prescriptions for them today. Benzodiazepines are still prescribed for these disorders today, with the most commonly recognised types probably being diazepam, lorazepam and temazepam. They are effective in treating anxiety in particular, but patients can quickly build up a tolerance to their sedative effects, resulting in the need for higher doses to achieve the same results – an effect that is seen when these drugs are used recreationally too.
Concern Over Levels of Addiction
Dr Nick Flynn is a GP based at Holyhill Surgery in Cork, Ireland. He has become concerned about the levels of usage of benzodiazepines, the number of patients he sees with an addiction to benzodiazepines, and the levels of drug-related deaths he sees among patients at the surgery.
The surgery has five thousand patients registered with them, and Dr Flynn says that around seven hundred of these are dependent on benzodiazepines, approximately fourteen per cent of their patients. He says that they also have five or six young people each year dying of drug overdoses, including to benzodiazepines, or a mixture of them with other drugs.
The patients with benzodiazepine addiction are of all ages, and some have been on a prescription for these drugs for as long as forty years. Many of the dependent patients have become addicted to the drugs after having been prescribed them for a number of years, but some have become addicted after taking them as street drugs. Yet others have been given them by family members prescribed the drugs themselves, usually to help them sleep.
A Lucrative Business
Benzodiazepine tablets are typically prescribed in one of three doses: 2mg tablets, 5mg tablets or 10mg tablets. For those who sell these drugs on the streets, a 5mg tablet will fetch around 50 cents (43 pence at the time of writing) while a 10mg tablet fetches €2 (£1.74). This means that someone selling a 10mg tablet to a customer using three tablets a day could make €168 (£146.05) per month, a significant amount of money. Particularly for someone who might be surviving on benefits but receiving a prescription for benzodiazepines.
Dr Flynn says that it is quite easy to tell when a patient is selling his or her prescription drugs. Tell-tale signs include returning for repeat prescriptions early, claiming they have 'lost' their medication, and insisting on receiving the highest dosage tablets, with excuses given as to why they need these. Some patients with an addiction to benzodiazepines or who are selling their tablets will also visit several different doctors to obtain multiple prescriptions.
Ways to prevent this happening include providing phased prescriptions so that patients have to visit the pharmacist more frequently and so will not have large numbers of tablets at one time, and having a central database of medications prescribed so that patients cannot obtain the same prescriptions from different doctors at the same time.
Problem Created Decades Ago
Dr Flynn explains that the problem of benzodiazepine addiction in many patients was created a long time ago. He has been practising as a GP for almost twenty years, but many of his patients have been taking benzodiazepines on prescription for thirty years or more.
When these drugs were first created, they were considered an excellent treatment for anxiety and depression, and the long-term side effects of benzodiazepines were not known. And they were frequently prescribed, particularly to women, being labelled as 'mother's little helper'.
Today, doctors are much warier of prescribing benzodiazepines. The problems of addiction and tolerance are widely documented, and so they are used only when necessary. Unfortunately, many patients who have used the drugs for a long time are very resistant to stopping, with some even becoming violent when it is suggested that they should come off the benzodiazepines.
Support to Stop
If you have an addiction to benzodiazepines, then quitting can be very difficult. There are symptoms of withdrawal from benzodiazepines, but once stopped, mental and physical health will improve. If you think that you or a loved one might be struggling with an addiction to benzodiazepines, then please contact us today. At Addiction Helper, we can help you to find the help and support that you need to successfully recover from your addiction.

Every Thursday you see them popping up on social media….the #tbt. What does this mean, you wonder? Throwback Thursday! It's fun to see pictures from yesterday so you can compare them to today, or relive a great memory from another time. Our historic sites, parks, and museums serve as a great backdrop for photos, so I am sure you have some great photos tucked away taken at one of our sites. You may be surprised how far you've come, or the site, or who you may see in the photos! Take for example this #TBT from the Arabia Steamboat Museum (they do a great job posting #tbts!) of former Arabia preservationist, Lynn Ward, preparing Lawrence the mule's bridle to go in the freeze-dryer, c. 1993. Now Lynn can be found working as curator at another one of our partner sites, the Territorial Capital Museum in Lecompton, Kansas!
So start digging through your photos and find some to post for #TBT. We'd love to see!

"The midwest is the fulcrum for global warming solutions," argues the Chicago-based Environmental Law & Policy Center. "The midwest has the largest concentration of old, dirty coal plants that produce large amounts of CO2 which cause global warming, and the Midwest is the center of the United States' transportation industry. The midwest is the most important region in the most important country in the world when it comes to solving our global warming problems." Full strategy paper here.
The ELPC is best known for serving as the legal firm for the midwestern environmental movement on public-policy issues like logging of national forests in Wisconsin, high-speed rail, and renewable-energy portfolio standards. Now it's going beyond policy to the personal, with a list of seven steps anyone can take to retard global warming.
The first step the center recommends is to replace regular light bulbs with compact fluorescents. Like many environmental improvements, this requires you to put up more money up front in order to save $11.38 per bulb per year--plus one slightly less damaged planet.

Men have been taught to be strong and firm for centuries, as breadwinners, protectors, soldiers, fathers and husbands, thus withstanding pain and images of weakness. This has led to a culture where men often ignore their health and well-being in the name of masculinity. As a result, there is often poor health education and a scarcity of male specific health programs. Health Power and the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies (Joint Center) Health Policy Institute are partnering, with other key organizations to address two special problems affecting men and boys of color. They are:
- Worse health status AND health care than that of White men and boys, and
- A greater likelihood of being members of low income families and communities.
Because our partnership knows that "Men's Health is Power", we are committed to improving the physical, mental and spiritual health of men of color.
Especially helpful in developing this project were:
- Recommendations of the Joint Center's Commission on Paternal Involvement in Pregnancy Outcomes, and
- Findings from more than 100 focus groups and many key person interviews that I have directed.

New Fair Royalty Payments Schedule for private radio stations
October 15th, 2007
The commission on article L.214-4 of the Intellectual Property Code adopted on 15 October 2007 a new schedule for fair royalty payments due by private radio broadcasters to artists and producers of phonograms for radio broadcasts of these artists (7 votes for, 1 abstention, 3 votes against).
A revaluation of this schedule had been requested in 2003 by the artists and the producers, but the commission only started its work in May 2006. The schedule adopted was proposed by the Chairman of the Commission, Gilles ANDREANI, representing the state. This new schedule is half-way between the last proposal made by the copyright owners and the highest proposal formulated by the representatives of the radio broadcasters.
While the previous schedule, dating from 1987, had fixed a uniform royalty payment of 4.25% of their revenues for all private radio stations, the new schedule takes into account the large differences in the economic situation of the different operators by adopting progressive packages for the small local radios whose economy is fragile, representing a significant reduction in the royalty payments due from these small radios, and progressive rates of 4 to 7% according to the turnover of these radios, for all the other private radio stations, the largest of which frequently generate above-average profitability rates.
The new schedule will take effect on 1 January 2008 and its full application on 1 January 2011. It corresponds to an average increase in the value of the schedule by nearly 38% on this date. The coming into effect of the schedule will in fact involve a scaled introduction with an increase of 18% for 2008, 12% for 2009 and 6% for 2010.
Although the increase of the schedule is significant, it still does not approach the minimum level of royalty payments regarded as fair by the copyright owners, since the total royalty payments due as of 2011 are lower than the royalty payments made by private radio broadcasters to authors and are lower than the average royalty payments made to artists and producers in the leading European countries. That is why SCPP, which voted for this new schedule, considers that it constitutes an important but still insufficient step forward towards a really fair level of royalty payments, which will need to be renegotiated in a few years' time.
The SCPP (société civile des producteurs phonographiques), is a company that collects and redistributes royalty payments on behalf of its members from users of phonograms and music videos. Over 900 producers are now members of SCPP including numerous independent producers and international companies like Sony BMG, EMI, Universal and Warner. The SCPP defends the rights of its members, fights against piracy and supports musical creation. 14, Boulevard du Général Leclerc – 92527 Neuilly-sur-Seine Cedex - Tel: 01 41 43 03 03 www.scpp.fr

In this busy time of the year, we focus our energies on preparing for the holidays – shopping, cooking, cleaning, and more. In the rush to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner, then to move on to Christmas, we tend to forget about why we are celebrating Thanksgiving in the first place.
I have made an effort to reverse this trend and have taken the time to reflect on what I am thankful for.
While I'm incredibly thankful for many things in my personal life – most notably my family and friends – today I'm writing about what I'm thankful for as the Executive Director of COMPASS.
I am thankful for…
State and Federal Legislation. The Idaho Legislature and Congress stepped up over the past two years to provide additional state transportation funding and a long-term federal transportation bill. While I continue to push for additional funding – our needs still greatly surpass our revenues – I am thankful for what we did get and recognize the amount of compromise and effort it took to get there.
One Less Unfunded Project. In Communities in Motion 2040 we list 33 unfunded priority corridors and projects. In June 2016 we were able to reduce that list by one! Project #23 – Interstate 84/State Highway 55/Midland Boulevard – was funded by the Idaho Transportation Department and the City of Nampa.
New Programs. We've made some exciting changes this past year to help serve our members. Through our new Project Development Program and focusing a staff position specifically on assisting member agencies in finding and applying for grant funding, we are helping projects around the region move from great ideas to solid accomplishments like we never have before.
New Members. Golden Gate Highway District and the Cities of Melba and Notus joined COMPASS just last month. We're excited to have them on board and look forward to their perspectives on continuing to make the Treasure Valley a great place to live.
All Members. Membership in COMPASS demonstrates a long-term investment in the region. Thank you all for your continued efforts – your time, expertise, support, and regional vision.
The COMPASS Board of Directors. I can't say enough about the leadership and dedication of our Board of Directors. Your ongoing commitment to the future of our valley inspires me on a daily basis.
COMPASS Staff. While our members provide the leadership and policy direction for COMPASS, none of what we do could be accomplished without our amazing staff. I have the honor of working with a group of professionals who are smart, dedicated, and willing to go the extra mile. Thank you for all you do.
I wish you all a safe, happy, and thankful Thanksgiving.

Based on the theme 'Made With Love' our brief was to create displays to suit departments throughout Harrods.
Inspired by the quality of marble to enhance the workmanship of the product on display, we worked with the structures of ice-caves and cellular contours to draw the viewer's eye to the product.
The neutral colours and subtle textures kept the product centre-stage.
To achieve our concept of the marble layering, we developed a technique to print our hand-painted watercolour marble veins to multiple hand-carved layers and build up the displays.
The resulting range of displays are precisely replicated across the store to ensure complete consistency throughout.

Most of the Luxor Temple dates to the New Kingdom period of Egyptian history. Ramses II built the pylon (the large wall in the background), two obelisks (only one remains today), and six statues of himself. The sphinxes along the "Avenue of Sphinxes" were built by Nectanebo I, and replaced the ram-headed sphinxes built by Amenhotep III. The avenue stretched from the Luxor Temple to the Karnak Temple for a distance of 2 miles (3 km).
Luxor Temple
Luxor Temple with Avenue of Sphinxes
The Luxor Temple is easily identified from the front because it has only one obelisk, but as stated above Rameses II originally erected two obelisks at its entrance. The other obelisk was given to King Louis V in 1874 in exchange for a clock that no longer works, and now stands in the Concorde Square in Paris. The obelisk that remained was also included in the deal, but it turned out to be too much trouble to move it.
Feast of Opet Panel
The Luxor Temple was the site of the Festival of Opet which is beautifully depicted on the western wall of the court. In this feast, the god Amon (or Amon-Re) comes from the Karnak Temple to visit his wife in the Temple of Luxor. In the Old Kingdom period this festival lasted 14 days, and by the New Kingdom the feast lasted 22-23 days. These reliefs are depicted like cartoons today – block by block. Pictured here are acrobats that performed at the festival.
Court of Amenhotep III
The further you go into the Luxor temple, the older the remains are. The inner court was built by Amenhotep III (14th century). The columns of Amenhotep III are of much better quality than the columns and art of Ramses II (13th century BC). Amenhotep III's era was a golden age, and the arts flourished.

Job in Alabama may lure Pelham away from Cuesta College
Cuesta College President David Pelham interviewed Thursday in Alabama for the job as the chancellor supervising that state's entire community college system.
Pelham is one of about a dozen candidates interviewing for the job, according to some Alabama newspapers. If selected, Pelham would be leaving Cuesta relatively soon after arriving on the San Luis Obispo campus in March 2008.
Cuesta College is currently in a fiscal crisis associated with the state budget and has seen layoffs, cuts in classes and hours being reduced for staff and part-time faculty.
Some staff members have complained about Pelham's leadership in the crisis. It is also undergoing a complicated accreditation process, after the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges warned Cuesta that it had to correct some procedural matters, said Stephan Gunsaulus, the college's media and marketing director.
It remains accredited during the warning period, and the Board of Trustees will review its response to the recommendations at its Wednesday meeting, Gunsaulus said.
Cuesta College has 13,000 students combined at its main campus on Highway 1 north of San Luis Obispo, at its Paso Robles campus, and in various classes that are taught at remote locations.
Pelham stressed in a letter sent by e-mail to staff members that the only reason he applied for the Alabama position is because it is such a rare and possibly unique opportunity to advance to such a high level in the world of community college administration.
In the latest version of his regular e-mail titled "Dave's Desk," Pelham informed staff that the job would be only four to five hours away from his grandchildren.
"I am not looking for another job, but there are literally only 50 of these positions in the country, so I could not pass up the opportunity to try for one," Pelham wrote.
"Should this not work out, which is entirely possible, I would not consider other positions unless they represent truly unique and exceptional opportunities as this position does," he wrote.
Pelham was chosen over a field of four finalists in late 2007 and arrived on campus in March 2008.He came from his former position as Superintendent/President of the College of the Siskiyous in Weed. He also served in administrative positions at community colleges in Florida and South Carolina.
Pelham's arrival had seemed to close a period where Cuesta's leadership had been uncertain.
Former President Marie Rosenwasser submitted her resignation and retired under pressure from the board in September 2006. Rosenwasser had become a lightning rod for critics after the failure of a $310 million bond measure for the college.
Former Vice President for Finance Ed Maduli, who has since left the college to become vice chancellor in a larger community college district, served as the interim president after Rosenwasser left.

Succulents store water in their leaves, roots and stems which means when you water them, they save some for later. Wait for the succulent's soil to dry completely and once it has, shower the plants with enough water that it runs out of the drainage holes in it's pot so that it's soaked thoroughly. Empty any water left in the plate underneath and take off to your vacation destination!
It's no secret. Cacti are native to the desert which means they thrive without much water. However, when cacti are planted in a container, they do need a little bit of additional TLC, as compared to the care they require when planted outdoors. In general, cacti do best when watered about once a month but humidity does play a factor. Once you think it's time to water, test the soil with a dowel rod by sticking it all the way down to the bottom of the pot. If the rod has any moisture on it, wait to water.
Snake Plants
Snake Plants, Glowee, Mother-in-Law's-Tongue–call them what you want–they are one of the most popular house plants around. You've seen them growing in office spaces, Mexican restaurants, in design magazines. Why? Because they're easy and easy-care is what you need if you plan on taking off on a jet plane. Snake plants grow well with very little light (although they prefer to be close to a window) and only need to be watered once the soil is dry.
ZZ Plants
The ZZ plant is the easiest plant you'll ever buy. Coincidence that it's name rhymes with the word easy? Well, it's proper name is Zamioculcas zamifolia. So naturally botanists back in the day began to refer to it as it's acronym. The ZZ plant name stuck. ZZ Plants hold water in a similar manner to a camel. Under the soil, these African natives carry potato-like rhizomes which allow them to store water during drought. Lucky for us, this evolutionary root system works in our indoor container gardens just as as it does in it's natural environment. So what does this mean for it's caregiver? ZZ plants only need to be watered once the soil is completely dry to the touch or about once a month.
Bromeliads are perfect for adding an array of bright, tropical foliage to your home. They come in a variety of colors and don't require much by way of care. Just be sure to plant your bromeliad in a pot with holes in the bottom so that the roots don't stay wet. When watering, soak soil thoroughly until water falls through the drainage holes. Then wait (or take your vacation!) until the top two inches of dirt are dry before watering again.
