January 9 to February 29, 2004
Whimsy meets horror in this exhibition of recent works by Toronto artist Tony Calzetta.? From his entry unto the art scene in the late 70s, Calzetta's unique abstract style?bold energetic lines and strong graphics?has garnered him attention.
In this exhibition, Calzetta, whose primary medium is drawing, has branched out into brightly coloured paintings and fanciful multimedia sculptures. Humour is evident but not explicit in his compositions.? Despite their playful elements, the works do not lack substance; "they are light-hearted but not lightweight," remarked curator Kate Regan.? His mysterious forms, at once hilarious and disturbing, are coupled with sarcastic and enigmatic titles; the effect is that of the bizarre. Calzetta's art springs from automatic drawings, which he then pares down to his signature abstract forms.? Through such creative exercises, Calzetta seeks to release his own enthusiasm into his art,? "to be true to his real self in his art, and to give his inner creativity completely free rein" (Liz Wylie).Quoted from War Stories for Children and Art Stories for Adults. Thames Art Gallery, Chatham, ON. 2001.

About Webinars
In this virtual classroom, participants can join in a seminar led by Poynter faculty and visiting faculty. This screencast includes live audio and a slideshow presentation in which participants can post questions and respond to poll questions posed by the host.
Facebook Groups are an exciting way to build communities, especially on the local level. At a time when Facebook has deemphasized news on its feed, Facebook Groups also remain an effective way to interact with audiences and share meaningful stories with interested people.
But how do you start? What makes for a good Facebook group? What pitch can you make for resources? How can you involve your business side and journalists outside of the social media team in managing it?
This webinar will discuss best practices in starting a topical Facebook group, how to involve your newsroom and how to keep the conversation going.
This training event is part of a series on digital tools, in partnership with the American Press Institute and The Poynter Institute, funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
Learn more about journalism tools with Try This! — Tools for Journalism on Poynter.org.

- The things you need to consider as you're setting up a Group

- How to be a host and build productive communities
- The relationship between Facebook Groups and audience loyalty
- Benefits for the business side of your publication

merirosvo Master |AstroMonkeyZombies of Doom| Tuesday 22/05/2007, 13:21
Hi, I've just started playing some Elo and I have two questions
1. Do any of the things that give additional battle points in regular play (such as
beating high level characters with low level ones, pillz left after KO etc) affect the
Elo rating? Put in another way - does anything except winning the match matter?
2. What's up with courage? I was under the impression that it is only supposed to
kick in during the very first round of a match, however, I was playing a match in the
danger zone and in the _second_ round the opponent played a card with Power 5,
Courage 3 and I responded with a Power 6 card. We each used one pill and there
were no other modifiers present, but still I lost the round.
So courage works for the first two rounds or what?
merirosvo Master |AstroMonkeyZombies of Doom| Tuesday 22/05/2007, 19:25
Perdition, thanks for an elaborate and clarifying answer
I had a feeling it was like that, but had to make sure.
DerMagus Legend Tequila Sunrise- UR Tuesday 22/05/2007, 20:40
I agree to that misunderstandability. I, at first, got exactly the same and illogical reading as itdb.
With bravery... um.... against it. You already get to pick which card to "abaodon" or scrap. You have the advantage of chosing the pairing. Ashigaru's status of a favourite leader of not few people has its reason. Also, I do not get your distinction between bravery and courage... but that does not matter. An ability that gives +power if played second in a round sounds just a bit strange - you already have an advantage and then get another one?

Happy weekend y'all! Me and Luke have our family weekends Thursday-Friday because of our work schedules, so it feels like mine is coming to an end as yours is a beginning but, as last weekend proved, that doesn't mean you can't still have fun (see point three below). Here's what I've loved in the last week:
1. My bullet journal. After Monday's post I felt bad that I didn't really have anything for July and finally started my Watching & Reading page. I can't believe I've not seen a film yet this month! Luke got The Hateful Eight for his birthday and we really need to see it. Oh and, NBG, but that post has already become my most popular of all time! The bujo craze is taking over! (You can find the post here.)
2. Sainsburys bargains. We've thrown out a few of Jenson's vests after some nappy explosions recently so he totally needed these new tractor ones. Or that's my excuse anyway. Can you believe all three of these came to just £6.50? Gotta love Sainsburys!
3. Sunny days. As I mentioned in the intro, Luke working all weekend doesn't mean the days have to be completely written off. When he got home on Sunday we walked over to Marazion and Jenson dipped his toes in the sea for the first time! It was a bit cold so he preferred just chilling on the sand. This is my new fave photo BTW.
4. Ben & Jerrys. I managed to get a tub of chocolate fudge brownie for just £2.50 in Iceland! I'm all about the bargains this week. We got stuck in last night when Jenson went to bed at a reasonable hour and we caught up on some more of The Flash.
5. #winning. I won another blog competition! This one was courtesy of Life Unexpected and Ugly Duck Books and is a beautiful alternative family record book. I'll share some interior pics when we start filling it out.
Hope you've all had a lovely week and have an even better weekend!

Marc Faber : something will always move Markets up and something will always move them down
Marc Faber : What was the trigger of the '87 crash when markets fell 21 per cent in one day? What was the trigger of the Nasdaq crash in 2000? What was the trigger of Japanese crash of 1989? What was trigger of 2007 crash that brought global stocks down 50 per cent? We don't know these things ahead of time, but something will always move markets up and something will always move them down. I would guess at the present time, given markets from the 2009 lows have in many cases increased by as much as 100 per cent, that they are no longer very cheap. .... Something could come along, geopolitically or otherwise. I would be very careful being overweight equities. I still have 25 per cent in equities and 25 per cent in corporate bonds... In the 40 years I've been working as an economist and investor, I have never seen such a disconnect between the asset market and the economic reality ... Asset markets are in the sky and the economy of the ordinary people is in the dumps, where their real incomes adjusted for inflation are going down and asset markets are going up...Something will break very bad ...

IATA has called on the European Union (EU) to strengthen economic regulation at European airport monopolies as charges continue to rise.
A recent IATA study has revealed that—while the cost of an air ticket remained virtually the same from 2006-2016—the portion of the ticket price taken by EU airports doubled. Passenger taxes also doubled.
Europe's light-handed Airport Charges Directive has failed Europe's travelers
Had airport charges remained constant over the 2006-2016 period consumers could have saved €17 ($20) per one-way trip.
IATA estimates this saving could have generated an extra 50 million passengers, unlocked €50 billion ($58.7bn) in GDP and created 238,000 jobs.
"Europe's light-handed Airport Charges Directive has failed Europe's travelers and its own competitiveness by letting airport charges rise," said IATA Director General and CEO Alexandre de Juniac.
"Tighter EU regulation is needed to stop airport monopolies from taking money from the pockets of travelers to reward investors."

Needless to say, we completed the darshan by 20:00. I should admit the temple looked beautiful in the night. And it is such a more beautiful and clean place compared to Tuljapur. However photography had to take a backseat; I did manage some though. As for my plans to explore some of Kolhapur and sample its fabled cuisine — perhaps some other day.

Durrant, whose work includes novels aimed at both children and adults, returns with a dark psychological thriller that's very different from her forays into chick lit.
Gaby Mortimer, a presenter (the British term for a television host) on a London morning show, is out jogging when she comes across the body of a young woman. She calls the police, but before they arrive, she manages to contaminate the scene by touching the body. When investigators ask her about it, she denies having done it, but one officer, a detective named Perivale, doesn't believe her. Soon, she finds herself besieged by the press, who line up outside the door of the upper-class and pricey residence she shares with her coldly distant husband, Philip, and precocious daughter, Millie. But hounding by the media isn't the only problem she faces: Philip has gone off on a business trip to Singapore; Perivale is determined to arrest her and make her face the music; and the producers on her show have replaced her with a young woman who's been edging into her job for months. Barricaded against the world, Gaby leans on her best friend, Clara, but it's a freelance journalist who wants to write a story about her who ends up helping her find evidence in connection with the case. Durrant's story is meticulous and detail-laden, with plenty of red herrings planted in order to keep readers bouncing from suspect to suspect. In addition, Gaby proves an interesting central character: a woman whose husband abandoned his marriage long ago and who now leads a privileged existence. However, the author's tendency to overwrite evolves into a failure to leave enough to the reader's imagination to make this a truly memorable read.
A decent story and probably Durrant's best to date, but her decision not to explain the plethora of British references could prove a distraction to American readers.

A serious illness can be frightening enough without worrying about money. Yet most employees would find it financially challenging were they suddenly forced to take time off work. Would they need to hire a caregiver? What about travel for treatment—or medication and medical supplies not covered by the health plan? The odds of surviving a critical illness have never been better, but the road to recovery can be surprisingly costly.
Disability benefits help—typically covering up to two thirds of pay. But it's often not enough. Group CI can fill the gap and relieve some of the stress, so employees can stay focused on recovery.
With three product options to choose from, Empire Life CI offers lots of flexibility, so you can protect your employees your way.
Is Critical Illness insurance for you?
Critical illness benefits may be the best solution for you if:
You want assurance that your employees and their dependants are able to pay for unforeseen medical costs, in the event of a critical illness.
It's important that your benefits are competitive in the marketplace.
How Critical illness insurance works
Unlike life insurance, critical illness insurance is designed as an aid for the living. It provides a lump sum, non-taxable payment employees can spend as they wish. It is not dependent on return to work or making a full recovery. In order to receive payment, employees must be diagnosed with a covered condition and meet the survival period.
Key features and benefits
- The Empire Life Group CI portfolio of products offers lots of flexibility, so you can add the type and level of protection you want.
- Coverage of 31 health conditions with our Traditional and Enhanced CI. The four conditions covered by Vital Assist CI provide solid protection against the conditions that make up close to 90% of CI claims.
- Coverage for groups with as few as three people (when CI is taken, there must be a minimum of three people in the group or class).
- Face amount options up to $250,000 (and as much as $500,000 when combined with employee paid Optional CI).
- Partial, multiple, and cancer recurrence benefits, available with Enhanced CI, let you add an extra layer of protection for all employees or just selected classes.
- Each one of our critical illness products comes with access to the Health Concierge Service, provided by MedExtra Inc. Designed to complement critical illness insurance, the Health Concierge Service helps employees and their families through a difficult time. It can accelerate the diagnosis, help establish the best treatment plan, answer questions, and be the liaison between hospital medical staff and the employee and family. It also provides emotional support throughout the journey.
- For new customers, our combined medical underwriting form means that employees complete one streamlined form for life insurance, LTD, and CI coverage.

New Direction for
CAPCIL's Transportation Department
Send a link to a friend
Action Partnership of Central Illinois is focused on a new direction
for its transportation department. Since 2012, CAPCIL has been
contracted by the Logan County Board as the Pass-Through Operator,
providing outstanding services for Logan and Mason Counties and
meeting the changing needs of the community.
The Agency went through a mission shift in 2014, renewing its
commitment to offering programs and services to fight both the
causes and consequences of poverty. This commitment required the
Agency to select programs based on a solid understanding of what
causes and perpetuates poverty in the service area, relying on data
to support the community assessment. As causes and consequences were
identified through a comprehensive needs assessment, a Strategic
Plan was developed. The goal of a need-driven Strategic Plan is to
close the "community needs" gap. The Agency has been committed to
the mission of poverty fighting through self-sufficiency since 1966,
but used the mission shift in 2014 to refocus on providing services
to help those who have the desire to help themselves.
[to top of second column in this letter]
During the last two years, the evolution of public
transportation has included a lot of positive changes: increased
ridership, strong partnerships with local businesses/organizations,
and increased access for human services clients. But over time, the
hours required to service the public transportation program began to
detract from other programmatic spaces that CAPCIL had defined as
high priorities in its strategic direction for the Agency.
As of December 31, 2017, the public transportation partnership
between CAPCIL and the Logan County Board will draw to a close.
Logan County will continue to be the grantee but CAPCIL will
discontinue being the Pass-Through Operator. CAPCIL's Governing
Board unanimously voted to end the Agreement. To ensure a seamless,
transparent and positive transition for both parties, the CAPCIL
board also requested a peer program evaluation and an independent
program audit as part of the transition package.

Enjoy the benefits of matcha tea in this tasty orange creamsicle protein matcha drink. Low carb and delicious, a great way to start your morning.
It's no secret I love my matcha green tea. I try to drink it everyday so I'm constantly coming up with different drinks to try. Recently while daydreaming about oranges I remembered an orange creamsicle smoothie I've made for Max and thought it would be a good combination for my morning matcha. I'm not much of a breakfast person and I'm always watching my carbs so I try to get the most out of my morning cup. I like my breakfast drinks to have some extra protein and healthy fat to keep me going and as few carbs as possible but a lot of taste. The matcha green tea itself is packed with healthy antioxidants and gives me a gentle caffeine buzz to start my day so that's always a welcome addition.
I don't know why but I crave oranges in the winter. I love the smell of them and the taste. My dad used to buy crates of fruit when we were young. (He was a bulk shopper before it was popular!) Anyway he used to buy crates of oranges in the winter and maybe it's a memory from childhood that started this craving. Or maybe because oranges remind me of Florida and I'd rather be in Florida in the winter. That could be it! Enough pondering, on to the recipe.
Orange Creamsicle Protein Matcha Drink
I'm a big fan of Steeped Tea. My friend Debbie sells it and she's really become a tea connoisseur. She has a Facebook page if you too are a tea lover and is always sharing interesting info about tea as well as recipes. Anyway this is my can of Steeped Tea Matcha. I just finished it so I'm anxiously awaiting my next can. I have a few flavored ones left but I like the plain the best. Just my opinion.
Another thing I love about oranges in the winter is the zest. It's so bright and has a wonderful aroma. So in it goes to my orange creamsicle protein drink. The protein is from a vanilla whey powder. I like to use the vanilla protein powder instead of my Great Lakes gelatin in this recipe because I wanted extra vanilla flavor for this drink. If you are not a fan of protein powder by all means use the gelatin or skip it of you don't care about the protein.
I also used some coconut oil for a healthy fat and for the creaminess it adds to the drink. And I added some vanilla and a bit more sweetness with some liquid vanilla stevia. I love this brand (affiliate link). Just put it all in the blender and whiz. You end up with a nice frothy, orange creamsicle protein matcha drink to start your morning. Perfect for these dreary winter days. Check out the nutrition below.
cals = 233 / fat= 13.4g / carbs= 2.1g / protein= 12.5g
Orange Creamsicle Protein Matcha
- 1/2 teaspoon matcha
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest only
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- a few drops of liquid vanilla stevia
 optional
- 6-8 oz boiling or very hot water
Boil your water and add to a high speed blender.
Add your other ingredients and blend on high. Be careful with the boiling water.
Pour and drink and enjoy!

I have tried the bcd instructions to repair the boot loader, however I cannot get it to work, as

Does anyone know how I can fix my boot manager?
Does it matter that my Vista partition is not a primary partition?
IF it does, any way to change it without formatting?

Otesha's friends at tcktcktck and 350.org have been supporting the formation and growth of the Arab Youth Climate Movement (AYCM), a new group of young people across the Middle East and North Africa, looking to create a generation-wide movement to solve the climate crisis.
From 26 November, this 2012 UN Climate Change Conference (COP 18) will take place in Doha, Qatar, and it's more important than ever that there is a strong youth movement calling for Arab leadership on climate change. To showcase their demands AYCM are holding their first ever Day of Action this Saturday 10th November.
There are actions happening in 13 countries around the region from Egypt to Palestine and Libya – young people are going to be taking action and spreaking the word. You can read a full list of all the actions here.
Otesha is calling for our friends to support the AYCM to make sure their message is heard internationally. With both traditional and new media we hope to make some noise that resounds both inside and outside the Arab region. We have heard first hand from these young people how important social media now is in their countries and we all know the role it played in recent changes that have taken place in the region and the young people assure us that social media is monitored constantly in their countries. If there ever was a time just to give 5 minutes of your Saturday to send a tweet then this is it!
We're asking for your support on Saturday and throughout next week to make sure these young people's voices are heard.
Sign up to receive updates from TckTckTck's twitter and facebook accounts to watch out for content coming through as it happens and retweet, repost and share your thoughts. Easy, online activism in support of youth activists just like us sounds like a decent plan for the weekend!

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Redden Had Thoughts Of Quitting
by Paul on 11/06/10 at 07:22 PM ET
Comments (1)
from Chris Stevenson at the Toronton Sun,,
As much as Redden tries to put a positive spin on things, this is a bad time here. The Wolf Pack will lose its seventh consecutive game and when Redden is on the ice for the Monarchs' third goal, a fan wearing a Kevin Dineen Hartford Whalers sweater stands up from his seat.
"Way to earn your money, buddy," he screams at Redden, flashing a mock thumbs up.
"If there is anything that will benefit me, it's playing well here."
That is Redden's reality now.
When he was at his crossroads and thinking about quitting, Redden turned to his friends.
"He was pretty down on himself," said Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson, a teammate for a decade. They grew from rookies to become among the best players in the world together.
"He was questioning what he had done and should do and whether he should even be playing hockey. We all live the game. I thought he should try Europe or the minors and get the fire, the excitement back. We're pr

I thought he quit 4 or 5 years ago. Do you think he really cares at this point? He's motivated on payday, to cash his check. Only Glen Sather thought he had anything left.

Gardai quiz circus owner over 'wallaby death at disco' claims
DETECTIVES have questioned a circus owner about allegations that a wallaby died after being plied with drink at a birthday disco.
The marsupial was let loose among more than 150 revellers dancing at the Clarion Hotel in Liffey Valley, west Dublin, to the theme tune of Australian television show 'Skippy the Bush Kangaroo'.
Outraged animal welfare campaigners sparked an official garda investigation when they passed on complaints about the alleged mistreatment of the animal.
Alexander Scholl, owner of Australian Super Circus Sydney, situated 500 metres away from the hotel, yesterday told officers he had two wallabies -- 'Skippy' and 'Sydney' ---but rubbished claims either of them was used in the incident.
"They think it was one of my wallabies but it definitely was not.
"I would never lend them out to a nightclub with all the noisy music," he said.
"Someone told them the wallaby was dead. I said if it is dead then it is not one of my wallabies. I showed them Skippy and Sydney."
Officers launched an inquiry after complaints were passed on from a witness at the 30th birthday celebrations and others who saw a video uploaded to Facebook.
They have been handed CCTV footage from the hotel.
"There is no evidence at this stage of a body, or evidence to suggest it is dead," said a garda source.
The video footage showed an animal, which appeared to be either a kangaroo or a wallaby -- a smaller, more common Australian marsupial -- being released on to the dancefloor as the DJ played the 'Skippy the Bush Kangaroo' theme tune.
Dozens of the partygoers at the hotel took photographs and filmed the animal as it was manhandled and lifted in to the air to flashing lights and cheering from the crowd.
Hotel manager Garret Marrinan said a duty manager became suspicious when he noticed a commotion around the dancefloor in a hired function room at around 11pm on Saturday.
"By the time he got down through the crowd, the animal and the box were gone," he said.
"We had no idea where it came in or how it got out of the hotel. The whole thing was all a bit upsetting to be honest with you."
Mr Marrinan said the hotel was giving every help it could to gardai. The Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (DSPCA) said it had received five complaints including one person who claimed to be at the party.
Orla Aungier, DSPCA operations manager, said the marsupial was more likely a wallaby than a small kangaroo, because they are easier to buy in Ireland.
"At some point during the party, what we believe to be a wallaby was brought on to the dancefloor," she said.
"We have also been told that after the party, the animal had died. That is only alleged, but the most important thing for us is to find out where the animal is and if it is okay."
Ms Aungier said kangaroos and wallabies needed very specialised care and would have been distressed by being handled and the loud music and flashing lights of a crowded disco.
Gardai said the allegations will be thoroughly investigated and partygoers questioned about what happened after the incident was captured on hotel surveillance cameras.
A garda source confirmed allegations had been made that a wallaby died after being given alcohol but added they had yet to see any evidence to back up the claims.
"After the CCTV footage, no one knows what happened, good, bad or indifferent," said the source.
Mr Scholl said he hires his wallabies out for nursery schools but would not have allowed them into a nightclub.
The circus owner said he holds the keys for the trailer in which Skippy and Sydney are kept at night. "I put them in the box, me myself, so no one else has touched them," he said.
Mr Scholl said he bought his wallabies in Cookstown, Northern Ireland, earlier this year.
Wallabies are classified as exotic animals in Ireland so there is no legislation on their breeding or ownership.
They are offered for sale on online classifieds sites at around €700. The DSPCA said websites are also offering zebras and emus for sale.

LONDON -- The last five years have been tough for those in retirement. Portfolio valuations have been hammered and annuity rates have plunged. There's no sign of things improving anytime soon, either, as the eurozone and the UK economy look set to muddle through at best for some years to come.
A great way of protecting yourself from the downturn, however, is by building your retirement fund with shares of large, well-run companies that should grow their earnings steadily over the coming decades. Over time, such investments ought to result in rising dividends and inflation-beating capital growth.
In this series, I'm tracking down the UK large-caps that have the potential to beat the FTSE 100 over the long term and support a lower-risk income-generating retirement fund (you can see the companies I've covered so far on this page).
Today, I'm going to take a look at accounting and business software specialists The Sage Group (LSE:SGE).
Sage vs. FTSE 100
Let's start with a look at how Sage has performed against the FTSE 100 over the last 10 years:
|Total Returns
|10 yr trailing avg
|The Sage Group
Sage's 10-year average trailing total return shows that it has managed to edge ahead of the FTSE 100 over the last ten years, but has it got the makings of a great retirement share?
What's the score?
To help me pinpoint suitable investments, I like to score companies on key financial metrics that highlight the characteristics I look for in a retirement share. Let's see how Sage shapes up:
|Year founded
|Market cap
|Net debt
|Dividend Yield
|5-Year Average Financials
|Operating margin
|Interest cover
|EPS growth
|Dividend growth
|Dividend cover
Here's how I've scored Sage on each of these criteria:
|32 years isn't all that long.
|Performance vs. FTSE
|A strong record.
|Financial strength
|Low gearing, strong cash generation, high margins.
|EPS growth
|Attractive, steady growth.
|Dividend growth
|Steady growth amply covered by free cash flow.
|Total: 21/25
Sage's score of 21/25 highlights the company's attractions as a retirement share. It has a history of steady dividend increases and for the last six years at least, the firm's dividends have been covered by free cash flow two or more times, making them very safe and affordable. Sage's profit margins are high and while its relative youth might be a concern for a retirement portfolio, I think that the way Sage software has become an integral part of business computing -- rather like Microsoft Windows -- discounts this risk to some extent.
Sage has been in the FTSE 100 since 1999 and has gradually expanded the scope of its software beyond its initial accounting remit. Areas covered today include payroll, customer relationship management and a wide range of financial planning, forecasting and costing -- all of which is likely to become more critical and more automated in years to come.
My verdict
Although Sage's current dividend yield of 3% is slightly below the FTSE 100 average of 3.1%, I think that its well-covered, progressive dividends could make it very attractive for an income-based retirement portfolio.
Dividend growth is almost as important as outright yield when buying shares for a retirement portfolio, as it enables your income to keep pace with inflation. Income growth also means that in the years before you retire, the dividend yield on cost you receive from your shares will rise, often to levels far higher than the index average. If you had purchased Sage shares at the start of 2010, for example, your dividend yield on cost in 2012 would have been 4.3%, considerably higher than the FTSE 100 average.
Overall, I think that Sage provides an attractive way of gaining exposure to the IT and business services market, and could fit well into a diversified retirement portfolio.
2013's top income stock?
The utility sector is known for its reliable, above-average dividends, but the Motley Fool's team of analysts has identified one FTSE 100 utility share that they believe offers a particularly high-quality income opportunity.
The company in question offers a 5.7% dividend yield and the Fool's analysts believe that it could be worth up to 850p per share -- offering new investors a potential 20% gain on the current share price of around 700p.
Indeed, the Motley Fool's analysts are so confident in this share that they've named their report"The Motley Fool's Top Income Stock For 2013"! This exclusive new report is completely free, but will only be available for a limited time -- so click here to download your copy now.

From Goodreads:
Meghan Chase is finally getting used to being the Iron Queen, ruler of the Iron Fey. Her life may be strange, but with former Winter prince Ash by her side at last, she wouldn't have it any other way.
But when they travel to the Summer and Winter courts' gathering for Elysium, the oracle from Meghan's past returns with a dire prophecy: "What you carry will either unite the courts, or it will destroy them." Now Meghan faces a devastating choice that may determine the future of all fey—and her and Ash's unborn child…
Iron's Prophecy, the novella that fits in between the end of the Iron Fey series and the beginning of the Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten series was one that I had been meaning to read for a while. I am a huge fan of the Iron Fey series and I have also read the majority of the Call of the Forgotten series as well. It's a great YA series and I adore those books. I was looking for some novellas to read at the end of 2016 and finally decided to read Iron's Prophecy. It was a good novella and I enjoyed reading it I just didn't feel like it was really necessary to exist.
It was really nice to revisit Meghan and Ash and all of the other characters that I had fallen in love with but I didn't feel like this novella really added anything to the overall story. I quite enjoyed the process of learning what'd happened between the original and spin off series through the characters in the Call of the Forgotten series.
It was enjoyable and I am glad I read it however I feel like I didn't really gain anything from reading it.

Life is hard, and the world isn't fair. These are two lessons everyone learns at some point – but what if the lessons didn't stop there? What if we could also learn to live well, despite difficult circumstances; to choose joy in the face of challenges; and to trust God through it all?
Sara Frankl lived with chronic pain as a result of autoimmune disease called ankylosing spondylitis and was eventually confined to her home before dying at 38 years old. If anyone had a reason to focus on the unfairness of life, it was her. Yet Sara accomplished something few can, especially those enduring intense pain: she chose joy.
CHOOSE JOY is a must-have for those searching for meaning and beauty in a world full of tragedy. Her words breathe with vitality and life, and her stories will inspire smiles, tears, and the desire to "choose joy." Readers will find themselves contemplating what really matters and move to reassess their day-to-day perspective on life.
"Sara never stopped choosing joy—and her life never stops inspiring me to do the same."
— Ann Voskamp, author of New York Times bestseller One Thousand Gifts
"Sara was one of the kindest, most generous souls I've ever known. I pray her words live on through this book chock-full of her spunk, zest, and grace-filled wisdom."
— Lysa TerKeurst, author of New York Times best seller Made to Crave & Founder of Proverbs 31 Ministries
"Sara's story only grew louder, bolder, braver with her death. It's a story that we all need to keep hearing."
—Lisa-Jo Baker, bestselling author of Surprised by Motherhood, social media manager for DaySpring, and community manager for (in)courage
"Sara's words, faith, and joy still echo in my heart and I'm thrilled to have even more of her encouragement through these pages. All of us need Sara's message of resilience and hope in a hard world."
—Holley Gerth, bestselling author of You're Loved No Matter What
"Sara's honesty and courage show us how we, too, can be bold and brave when facing down our worst fears. This isn't a story about dying. It's a story about living."
—Liz Curtis Higgs, bestselling author of Bad Girls of the Bible

The Choose Joy Foundation & Positive Publishing are bringing you the perfect companion for Choose Joy: Finding Hope and Purpose When Life Hurts.

Cuomo rips into far-right Republican candidates
Governor says "extreme" candidates have no place in state of New York
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday that the current "schism" between moderates and conservatives in the state Republican party is a localized version of a similar split causing headaches in Washington, D.C.
"Extreme" Republican candidates who are anti-abortion, oppose gay rights or favor legalized assault weapons "have no place in the state of New York, because that's not who New Yorkers are," Cuomo added.
Yes, it's an election year.
Speaking on Friday morning with Susan Arbetter on "The Capitol Pressroom" radio show, Cuomo said leaders of the state GOP were "searching to define their soul."
"The Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act — it was voted for by moderate Republicans who run the Senate!" Cuomo said, referring to the state's year-old gun control law that alienated many conservatives.
"Their problem (for Republicans) is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves," he said. "Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? ... Because if that's who they are and they're the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that's not who New Yorkers are."
The governor made a distinction between the far right and the Republican leaders in the state Senate who allowed several of his signature pieces of legislation, including the NY SAFE Act last year and same-sex marriage in 2011, to make it to the floor of the chamber for votes they could have blocked.
"George Pataki was governor of this state as a moderate Republican," Cuomo said.
The governor's suggestion that those who, for example, hold anti-abortion views have no place in the state drew brickbats on social media. "My governor thinks there's no place in NY for people like me," wrote Dennis Poust, spokesman for the state Catholic Conference, on Twitter. "Can I get a state grant to relocate?"
A spokesman for Cuomo said that the governor was talking about political candidates, not the general public.
"The governor is going to try as hard as he can to make this election about social issues," said David Laska, a spokesman for the state Republican Party.
That effort, he alleged, was an attempt to paper over New York's status as "the most-taxed, most-regulated, least business-friendly, least economically free and least personally free state in America."
"The people who are leaving New York are businesses," Laska added, "and they're taking jobs with them."

The Manchester Elks Lodge BPOE #1893 is showing appreciation for veterans this holiday season at the first annual Holiday Veterans Gathering on Dec. 8.
The celebration will be held at the Manchester Elks Lodge BPOE #1893 Lodge, 30 Bissell St., in Manchester from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The event is a partnership with Johnson Brunetti Retirement & Investment Specialists.
"We want to show appreciation for their service and make it a little easier for them during the holidays; many veterans have no help," Manchester Elks Lodge Director & Veterans Committee Chairman Gerry Gallo said.
Guests will be served a full holiday meal that will include baked ham, sweet potatoes, mixed vegetables, salad, rolls, apple sauce, and cake and ice cream for dessert.
Veterans will also receive gift baskets that will include personal care items and grocery store gift cards. Zahner's Clothiers, of Vernon, will distribute new winter coats, as well.
Dr. Robin Santiago, DMD, of Beautiful Smiles of West Hartford, will supply 600 oral care items and non-perishable food items donated by patients. Santiago will also provide free oral exams at the event.
More than 150 veterans are expected to attend. Many of which will be coming from shelters, transitional homes, and some who are even homeless, Gallo said.
The Manchester Elks Lodge usually holds an event celebrating veterans in June, but hopes to make the holiday celebration an annual event, as well.
"[The veterans] do so much for us and are the ones most affected by their service," Gallo explained. "They've seen their squad mates get injured and killed and bring back a big burden."
Anyone looking to help the veterans can donate money, grocery gift cards, and personal care items - such as razors and shampoo prior to the event.
Donation locations are the Manchester Elks Lodge BPOE #1893, Manchester; Johnson Brunetti's Offices, 100 Great Meadow Road #502, Wethersfield; and Beautiful Smiles, 901 Farmington Ave., West Hartford.
"All veterans are invited," Gallo said. "It's a big psychological and moral boost for them."
Veterans are asked to RSVP by Dec. 5, if possible, but won't be turned away after that date, Gallo said.
To RSVP, or for more information, call Gallo at 860-836-8396 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Editorial Review
The much anticipated Karl Lagerfeld fragrances for HIM and HER are finally in town! Karl Lagerfeld for Her is a fresh scent of citrus, fruit and flowers on a woody – musky mase. It opens with accords of sparkle and freshness, with a floral heart to accentuate the femininity, elegance and lightness of the scent. All of this is soothed by the sensual woody base.
Top Notes: Alightning burst of lime to illuminates the scene, White Peach reveals its fruity crispness.
Heart Notes: Frangipani captures the light, elegant Rose strikes a pose and skins melt into fleshy petals of Magnolia.
Base Notes: Timeless sensuality of Musks and Amber Woods revealing an ultra sensual base.
At first whiff, one would term this fragrance as "generic" but then.. something in it pops up and capture my heart – the musky warmth settling beneath the usual floral fruity perfumes. A great spring/summer scent, this is perfect for everyday wear and boy does it last all day!

Teaching in a New York City public school, it's so important to commemorate September 11. This is not only part of our nation's history, but something that has directly touched the lives of so many families in New York. Even though my students, being in 4th and 5th grades, were not yet born in 2001, 9/11 is a date that they too will never forget.
There are some phenomenal developmentally appropriate picture books to explore 9/11 with young learners.
For very young students (Kindergarten-2nd grade): The Man Who Walked Between the Towers by Mordicai Gerstein celebrates the two World Trade Center towers, which dominated the New York City skyline. It is the story of a French aerialist named Philippe Petit who tightrope walked between the two towers in 1974.
My colleague recommended 14 Cows for America by Carmen Agra Deedy for use in my 4th grade class.
This story takes place in a small village in western Kenya in 2002. The main character Kemeli, returns to his home village and shares with his people, the Maasai the story of September and New York. Touched by the story of human suffering, the Maasai decide to bestow the gift of 14 cows to the Americans.
When I introduced the story to my students they asked, "Why cows? What does this have to do with September 11?" After reading the story, I asked the class, "So, why cows?" They were able to understand that the cow represented life for the Maasai people. The gift of 14 cows was a symbol of their empathy for the Americans.
A third book to commemorate 9/11 is Fireboat by Maira Kalman. This book explains the events of September 11 in as kid-friendly a way as possible.
The story begins by describing the John J. Harvey a fireboat that served New York City from 1930-1990s, when it was retired. It includes the building of the Empire State Building and the completion of the George Washington Bridge. On the tragic day in September, the John J. Harvey is called out of retirement to serve the City once again. This is a story of community and coming together during an unimaginable time in our history.

However, when trees are planted or grow within, or in close proximity to, electric right-of-ways not only are these benefits greatly reduced or completely eliminated, but hazards to safe and reliable electric service are created. Trees are the number one cause of power outages on SEC 's distribution system. When trees contact live wires they can create power outages and fires, and are a danger to anyone who may come into contact with the trees.
In order to provide safe and reliable electricity to all members, SEC has a Vegetation Management Program that works to keep the proper line to vegetation clearances, reduce the amount of incompatible vegetation beneath the lines, and work with members to remove trees on their properties that require frequent trimming, pose a risk of becoming in contact with lines, or reduce accessibility to equipment. SEC requests that members never plant any trees directly under or near overhead power lines. Doing so will require future trimming and possible removal of the tree, which in turn will reduce or eliminate any benefits sought by planting the tree. We encourage members to enhance their properties with trees and vegetation outside the established right-of-way.
Side-Trimming and Line Maintenance
Southside Electric Cooperative maintains Transmission right-of-ways up to one hundred (100) feet wide depending on line voltage. Distribution lines, which are the most commonly seen lines on the system, have thirty (30) to forty (40) feet wide right-of-ways depending on line voltage and year of establishment. All new Distribution right-of-ways are forty (40) feet wide. Transmission and Distribution lines are maintained by Line Clearance Contractors on approximately a six (6) year cycle and by Time & Material Crews that conduct off-cycle work as needed. Service drops (the line that runs from the transformer to the home) and dusk-to-dawn lights require minimal clearances of approximately a five (5) foot radius and are only trimmed by Line Clearance Contractors on regularly scheduled cycle work.
Starting in 2011 Southside Electric Cooperative began a system wide effort to conduct all trimming to the ANSI A300 pruning specifications which are recognized industry wide. These trimming practices allow utilities to obtain their necessary line clearances in a way that reduces the overall detrimental affects to the trees' health. Line Clearance Contractors that are hired to complete the trimming are overseen by International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) Certified Arborists to ensure these standards are followed.

In addition to trimming trees to the designated line clearances on these circuits, crews will be removing any live brush from within the right-of-way, vines off equipment, trees that have grown within the right-of-way, and any dead, diseased, damaged, or structurally unsound trees that pose a significant hazard to the overhead power lines. Southside Electric Cooperative and Line Clearance Contractors will also be working to contact Members and work with them to remove yard trees planted within the right-of-way.
Members will receive a mailed notification letter prior to regularly scheduled line maintenance activities.
Herbicide Application and Brush Control
Southside Electric Cooperative began using herbicides to control brush within right-of-ways in 2008. Circuits are re-treated every four years to address any new trees that have begun to grow within the right-of-way. Selective herbicides and low-volume application methods are used to target saplings, vines, and other woody plants that can potentially grow tall enough to interfere with the power lines, grow on poles and equipment, or obstruct access to the right-of-ways. Only areas with undesirable vegetation that can potentially interfere with electric service are treated.
All herbicides used on the system have been tested and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Contractors hired to complete the herbicide applications are Registered Technicians and supervised by a Certified Commercial Applicator. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services administers the exam to obtain these certifications and maintains a registry of licensed applicators.

Fun Fair
On Saturday June 4, 2011, Josyf Cardinal Slipyj School continued its 25th anniversary celebration with a fun fair for the school and neighbouring community.
The day was definitely memorable as very dark storm clouds came to visit and decided to stay for most of the day …. BUT …. the day continued as planned ….. crafts and games for the younger crew, face painting, live music moved indoors, a host of vendors with unique goods to sell, a special silent auction with over 100 gift baskets donated by staff and sponsors, hot dogs barbecued by our own chef team of Mr. Rick Thiffault and Mr. Wasyl Zyla , displays of children's work, raffles, and even the men in blue came to join in the festivities.

Results of the June 2013 ECB survey on credit terms and conditions in euro-denominated securities financing and OTC derivatives markets
The European Central Bank (ECB) is today publishing a report on the results of the June 2013 qualitative survey on credit terms and conditions in euro-denominated securities financing and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives markets (SESFOD). The survey is conducted four times a year, covering changes in credit terms and conditions over the three-month reference periods ending in February, May, August and November.
The June 2013 survey collected qualitative information on changes over the three-month period ending in May 2013. The results are based on responses from a panel of 29 large banks, comprising 14 euro area banks and 15 banks with head offices outside the euro area.
The June 2013 survey also contained some special ad hoc questions on changes in the demand and supply of collateral transformation/upgrade trades by counterparty type.

The IT companies in the State has demanded concessions in rentals on space leased from the Government at Technopark and other facilities and reduction of power tariffs to face the impending impact of global economic crisis. The Chief Minister V. S. Achuthanandan has responded to them positively.
The IT companies are demanding their pound of flesh for Mr. Achuthanandan's crusade for the employees of the IT industry to succeed. If the industry is to retain excess workforce, the Government should pay for it. The deal is just not worth it.
The IT industry is already receiving many concessions. There were tax waivers and investment subsidies (up to 40 per cent). The Technopark in Trivandrum has cost the Government about 100 crores (excluding the recently added facilities). It is also spending considerable sums for the maintenance of infrastructure. Considering the real estates costs and administrative expenses, the rentals being collected from the industry is low.
All businesses face ups and downs. There is no reason why Government should be there in advance to fend off troughs. When the farmers faced trouble because of globalisation, the government was late in stepping in. The IT units, which reaped the benefits of globalizations, are not in a worse position than the farmers are. (Now that the rubber prices are coming down, will the government step in to support their high income-levels?)
Rather the government should turn this into an opportunity. If the companies are going jobless, the government should hire them for its programmes for e-governance and IT infrastructure development. Naturally, that would and should come cheaper and the profitability of IT companies would suffer. However, that should be taken as inevitable when the times are bad. After all, they were the ones who made the big money until now. Now let them contribute to the State's development. Give them work, but no monetary concessions.
The Government should not directly force them to retain excess staff. However, it could restrain them from over-working its so-called executives (software engineers). If a stop were put 18-hour working days, the companies would need more employees.
Let us also look at what would happen if the lease rentals are lowered. They would remain static for years to come. There would always a reason for not increasing it.
Take the instance of the plantation industry. The lease rentals, fixed before independence, remain at Rs. 5 a hectare or lower. Though the Assembly passed a legislation to increase it 28 years ago, it remains unimplemented. Corruption is alleged to be the reason. The revision proposed in the law was linked to profitability, and that provision attracted the bitterest opposition from the industry!

Concept of Community
Running head: Concept of Community
Concept of Community
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the concept of community. The paper will explore the differences and definition between community and aggregate. The author will further discuss specific identification and description of an aggregate. The paper will conclude with the writer's personal expression regarding this topic.
Community vs. Aggregate
Public health nurses and other care providers face various roles and challenges when working within the community. It is significant that nurses understand the differences between aggregate care vs. community based approaches to health care and service delivery. A community, in public health, is a defined population. The focus of public health is the health of a defined population of community. A community can be defined as a common interest or characteristics (age, race, gender, social class, or cultural identity), also referred to as an associate population. It can be defined by geographic boundaries, or a system (Porche, 2004). Therefore, an individual within a given population can be a member of several different communities at one time, depending on the defining characteristic of the community. And, depending on the type of community, the members may never come into contact with one another (Porche, 2004). An aggregate is a subgroup of the community population. Any community consists of multiple aggregates. Community aggregates can be grouped into simple aggregates based on demographics or geographic locations. This is the least type of aggregate in community health practices. The most common type of aggregate is high risk aggregate. A high risk aggregate or subpopulation of the community that has a high risk commonality among its members, such as Concept of Community 3
risky lifestyle behaviors (drug users, alcoholics) or high risk health conditions (teen pregnancy). The aggregate concept is...

When items are running low in your local supermarket, an actual human has to first notice this, and then start the process of re-ordering and restocking. Granted, it's what grocery stores have been doing since forever, but now thanks to Tally, an autonomous robot from Sembe robotics, the kid in charge of doing this may be out of a job. Tally roams the aisles and scans the shelves, noting stock levels and automatically notifying its human owners if anything is running low or is misplaced. It knows its own way back to a charging station, and can work during normal business hours, rubbing elbows with people and drawing the attention of kids of any age. It's currently in testing with several North American retailers, but there's no word on any eventual mass rollout. We say it's just a matter of time.

Advanced KB Editors
Would like a super-editor for managing KB data. Finding dupes with a high % overlap would nice. Being able to bulk manage. Self export with some easy way to find.
We added a Related Questions feature to help find duplicative responses. You can find this when you click into a Knowledge content item. But we'll keep working on a 'report' that would help identify these in bulk.
1 comment
Peter Diepstraten commented
This could be implemented - at least partly - by re-using/adapting the functionality and look-up algorithms used when answering questions (take a question in the KB as a starting point instead of the proposal question).
Ideally it could be possible to take one KB item, search for similar KB items, select all those that are indeed similar, take one KB item as a basis, create a new KB pair and mark this one as 'primary' and archive/delete (all or some of) the previously marked ones.
