Sat., February 13, 2016 Monthly Business Meeting Agenda for World University and School
World University and School
{Open} Business Meeting – Agenda (hour-long meeting)
February 13, 2016
9 a.m., Pacific Time
Email - firstname.lastname@example.com - if you'd like to participate.
In preparation for World University and School's open monthly business meeting on Saturday, February 13th at 9 am Pacific Time in a G+ group video Hangout from this related G+ Profile page - https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ScottMacLeodWUaS/posts (from which you should be able to click "JOIN HANGOUT") - I think everyone should use a gmail address, - and have added each other to their circles.
1. Welcome and Greetings
NEWS about World University and School:1 World University and School is a client in the UC Berkeley Law "New Business Practicum" course - https://www.law.berkeley.edu/
2 WUaS is exploring collaborating with UC Berkeley and all of the University of California with WUaS/Berkeley together seeking another 100,000 student applicants on top of the first time ever Berkeley achievement of getting 100,000 applicants in a Cal / WUaS partnership for free best STEM CC OCW WUaS degrees for overseas students in English where Cal would get some portion of the $44,000/year it costs to go to MIT /Stanford Haverford for tuition from WUaS via countries' governments, and also incubation for accreditation.
3 WUaS will seek in this course to develop the WUaS "front page" - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - and "front end" now in two languages - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki/ and http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_De_Wiki/ - and "back end" planned in Wikidata/Wikibase, by this spring so high school students and their parents can begin to decide whether to apply to accrediting WUaS this autumn, again for free best STEM CC OCW WUaS degrees first for overseas students in English.

2.2 Finance
Treasurer's report for January 2015
Dual-Board development, re for example: http://www.andover.edu/About/Newsroom/Pages/Equity-inclusion-top-of-mind-for-trustees.aspx. For example, would the "WUaS 501 c 3 Creative Commons' Core Board" - the current one (with much development and change ahead) - be focusing on finances re this Phillips Academy Andover Board "Equity & inclusion top of mind for trustees" article's issues, for example, while the possible "WUaS for-profit publicly traded Board to be" be focusing on Corporation development - all very very separately? How would this work? How would these Boards communicate and not communicate?

Planned in ALL 7943+ languages "You want to have academia for that serendipitous ability to connect dots and collaborate, and you want companies when it's time to push hard and just get the thing done and scale up and get it out the door. What I would hope to engineer in the coming maybe decade or so are hybrid institutions where we can have people go back and forth because you might need to have an idea that would go back and forth a bit until it matures."

What would some initial (defining even) querying re SQL, and inter-lingually be?, Here are the retiring Languages and SUBJECT TEMPLATE wiki subject pages in Wikia, All languages as wiki schools - and for a universal translator - and questions of consciousness re the brain even - at WUaS is far-reaching, I'll add language learning pairing section to WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE ...

Thale cress: From the Whole Earth Catalog to the 1966 Trips' Festival ~ Good 2008 documentary by Eric Christensen
Myristica fragrans: Can music be taught as transformation?
Canna: Liking GD drummer's Mickey Hart's Twiter description: "I play the drums. Transformation is the object. Member of the mind bending, spiritual adventure known as the Grateful Dead," Great too to see at least 3 other Grateful Dead band members on Twitter: Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann (Check out a picture of many of them here) and Phil Lesh, Check out too the Grateful Dead wiki subject page at World University and School, which will grow with time and wiki-ness, How can WUaS even teach and learn the "transformation" Mickey Hart writes about in online jamming and even in the WUaS music school ...?, Such transformations can be most enjoyable ... :), See too this recent "Viola: 3 great recent articles about Harbin ... " blog post re some articles about what the Grateful Dead were doing in the Harbin Hot Springs' kitchen ... (and about my upcoming Harbin ethnographic book), Start here at 47:15 for Mickey Hart on drums into a kind of transformation
Rose: What single MIT OCW course might be suitable for training T-shaped professionals (with depth and breadth of knowledge) toward a certificate and in terms of industry-university collaborations?, WUaS will explore offering these courses individually for certificates and as part of WUaS Bachelor in a business major), and Ph.D. degrees while planning to accredit on MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC) and eventually in all countries' main languages for online university degrees.
Gladiolus: The basis for a WUaS universal translator? Not Natural Language Processing (i.e. Watson), rather an IBM Controlled Language Processing (CLP), "Conversational sensemaking Preece and Braines," To WUaS_Universal_Translator, But how would the translation itself in this model work, And in particular could this integrate with Google Translate for example?, And could we explore developing this as a test case at WUaS MediaWiki from English to German in Wikidata/Wikibase, among all 7,938+ pairs of languages?, Furthermore, In what ways can upcoming virtual Harbin (in ScienceSim, or in OpenSim?) be designed to help develop translation of both IMAGES and, for example, OPERA, INTERACTIVELY, opera-wise and image-wise, for WUaS's universal translator ...?, And in what ways could this WUaS Universal Translator be used as test cases to translate books, such as my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" and other academic ones?
Eucalyptus: Happy MLK Jr Day, It's specifically translating both CC STEM best OCW (e.g. CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC) courses into all countries' main languages (as well as into all 7,938) and for free CC university degrees, as well as translating WUaS MediaWiki pages - for which WUaS would like to develop our WUaS Universal Translator, See, too: "Rufous babbler: If one were to design Universal Translator plans," WUaS used Google Translate for the following English WUaS in MediaWiki to WUaS in MediaWiki, And See Also: "Naja naja - Indian Cobra: WUaS is "coiled" in a sense with the new worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki ... >" In developing a universal translator, WUaS will focus particularly on languages in Africa, and facilitating best STEM CC OCW degrees in these and in African languages and countries, WUaS seeks to become the Harvard of the internet in all African countries, Happy MLK Jr Day!
Jasminum sambac: Are you editing WUaS from - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki/ - into Wikidata today, Peeps? Planned in all countries and 7,938+ Languages, You'll need to register in WUaS MediaWiki to edit the English language http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki/ or German language http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_De_Wiki/ wiki WUaS universities - or to start a University in your own or another language, since I don't think it's possibly to edit anonymously anymore, in order to prevent vandalism
Viola: 3 great recent articles about Harbin after the fire, "Harbin's Robert Hartley aka Ishvara," "The Fire at Harbin Hot Springs," "Everything Gone but the Water," Interesting observations about the Grateful Dead at Harbin in these articles, Interview too with the publisher, Rob Sidon, of Common Ground Magazine from 2011, Re a new Academic Press at WUaS and publishing my actual / virtual Harbin ethnography, here's a poetry book published through CreateSpace affiliated with Amazon. And the 2nd Twitter post has CreateSpace's choices for ISBN book numbers. To add the new Academic Press at WUaS, I'll probably use the Universal ISBN option. Furthermore, to anticipate publishing my and others' poetry, WUaS may create other parts of the WUaS Press, Distinguishing between becoming a Publisher and Imprints, Kindle conversion
Rivers of the world: Best job in the world ... children's librarian & being the head of World University and School, but I haven't thought of this in this way yet, And field work at Harbin possibly over a life time (are we going to live to 220?), That "work" word from a Scottish perspective carries interesting connotations, Made a lot of progress yesterday and am on target for a Valentine's Day publication date, In this vein, on with exploring re-learning practicing two musical instruments, "Live to be 220? Good Lord, I hope NOT," With good quality of life (and good nutrition) ... absatutely ... and with finding/discovering the on-off switch or cello bow stroke of eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology as neurobiology
Freshwater mussels: MediaWiki doesn't yet support HTML 5, the standard for building web pages these days, but I think they will. And WUaS MediaWiki in seeking to develop in all 7,938+ languages will need web authoring tools that support these, Adobe Dreamweaver is excellent software for this, I think, but probably doesn't support all languages
Naja naja - Indian Cobra: WUaS is "coiled" in a sense with the new worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki ... > ... to go into all 7,938 languages in Wikidata / Wikibase with machine translation, Music as work ~ how flourishingly, fulsomely, and skillfully, and with great fun in the music-making itself (in Google Hangouts), as well?, To explore the musics of Italy WUaS, Japan WUaS, Scotland WUaS, Germany WUaS, Yet, Google Translate doesn't translate or support Scottish Gaelic, and MIT OCW Translated Courses aren't yet in Italian or Japanese, WUaS is seeking to explore putting the ~2300 CC MIT OCW courses in English, and Yale OYC into the infoboxes in Wikipedia/Wikidata for eventual machine learning, translation and AI developments, Now how will the Music Schools for ALL instruments in ALL languages coil for flourishing music generation? And Watsu (water shiatsu) :)?
Short-beaked echidna: With all WUaS's developments with structured, machine learning and AI ahead, wiki World University and School holds and grows the space for peoples in knowledge generation as well as very enjoyable learning conversations, Keeping the human teachers in the picture too, with all the abundant educational visions ... Many to many education and with teachers and best STEM CC OCW (e.g. CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC)
Koala: A major University in each countries' main language with AI? What's the WUaS vision for AI and machine learning as we develop in all 7,938 languages+?, An universal translator in all 7,938+ languages, and especially for STEM research, Scientific and especially philosophical questions of consciousness, where all phonemes in sound files, and corresponding written text, as well as in individual letters+ - with a developing list of ALL symbols (in unicode?) - as open linked data databases, What are some helpful visions for understanding some of the implications of machine learning and artificial intelligence?, And then the linking of this data where machine learning can extend infinitely for asking questions in so many ways is one, In what ways can WUaS add the seeds of machine learning and AI to these schools above, and for example in terms of an all-languages, all-instruments Music School?, Machine translation of my Harbin ethnographic book - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html - and indeed any publication - with implications in terms of the power of symbols and ideas, is another fascinating potential of WUaS AI
Caryota: Harbin is a big river flowing out of the 1960s ... And my upcoming actual virtual Harbin ethnography explores how this works in many ways ~ http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html ~ including how it's streaming into the online virtual and virtual worlds, My upcoming book due out around Valentine's Day also focuses on ways in which such a virtual Harbin and virtual earth will be used for STEM research, and for what I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ...

Commando is another of Arnold Schwarzenegger's films that has had untold effects on society as a whole. It is the tale of John Matrix – played by Schwarzenegger – and his quest to rescue his kidnapped daughter from the clutches of a South American ex-dictator and his chainmail-wearing partner (who also happens to be Matrix's former special forces squadmate, and who is definitely not gay). But how has Commando shaped the very world around it? How has it made us all dance a merry dance to its particular brand of whims? Read on, dear… reader.
In a similar way to Orwell's essay on the written use of English, in the same way Bukowski managed to tear down the walls of conventional poetry and make it as accessible as it was poignant, Matrix tantalises the part of our brain that appreciates language. He toys with the very notion of what meaning is, and while he is always saying things with a nod and a wink to the audience (an invisible one, natch), he never tells a lie or goes out of his way to befuddle either his compatriots or the audience. When Cindy asks what happened to the tiny bad guy Sully, Matrix responds: "I let him go" – not only is this hilarious in the extreme, it is also a direct reflection of the situation we as an audience have just witnessed. It isn't a lie what Matrix says, but it is worded in such a fashion to make Cindy believe Sully has been released back into the wild, where he belongs, when in actual fact he has been dropped off the edge of a cliff.
This magnificent, double-edged use of language occurs on numerous occasions throughout Commando: "He's dead tired", referring to a man who Matrix has just snapped the neck of (it's hard to see why out of context, but the play on words there is 'dead', as the man is literally dead); "let's take Cook's car, he won't be needing it", it is a statement of fact that he will not be needing his car, but what Matrix leaves to the audience to figure out is that he won't be needing the car because he is deceased; and of course, the classic: "Let off some steam, Bennett!" where Matrix is referring to the duality of the situation – both that Bennett (recently impaled with a length of steel piping, which has ruptured through a high-pressure steam vent behind him) has literal steam rushing from his chest wound, and that Bennett needs to calm down a bit, as he is quite angry (and clearly repressing his homosexuality).
It's safe to say that Commando doesn't offer us the same kind of life lessons that Predator does, but all the same it has a valuable place in the history of humanity. Without Matrix and his quips, would we have ever recognised the potential for plays on words, dual meanings or intentionally ambiguous statements? I think not. And without these lessons, it is likely that comedy in its current form would simply not exist. After all, it is the greatest comedian of our times, Stewart Lee, who stated: "The flexibility of the English language allows us to imagine that we are an inherently witty nation, when in fact we just have a vocabulary and a grammar that allow for endlessly amusing confusions of meanings." He didn't go on to add – but probably should have – that this would not have been possible were it not for the trailblazing wordsmithery of Commando's Matrix.
So thank you John Matrix. You have made the world a happier place by teaching us how language can be used so effectively and how it can be tamed in order to do most of the work for us. I'd just like to let you know we appreciate it.
Every day is a school day: John Matrix's daughter, Jenny, is played by Alyssa Milano. She went on to play Phoebe in the popular witch-based TV show 'Charmed'.

10 Healthcare Reforms Rolling Out In 2013
With President Obama in the White House for another four years and the Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Care Act, Americans will continue to see changes in coverage and fees for healthcare.
Passed in 2010, we've already seen incremental changes: If you have a pre-existing medical condition that made it impossible for you to qualify for medical coverage before, you can no longer be denied coverage. Young adults can stay on their parents' insurance plans up until age 26, and as of August 2012 there's no more copay for your birth control pills or gynecological well-woman visits.
Here are 10 reforms set to launch this year:
1. Federal subsidies begin phasing in for brand-name prescriptions filled in the Medicare Part D coverage gap to reduce out of pocket costs for beneficiaries. Coinsurance will drop from the 2010 level of 100 percent of costs to co-payments of 25 percent in 2020.

When the performance starts, the side of stage begins to move quickly. Whenever an individual performance ends, audiences exclaim and are excited. But there are people who work busily on the side of the stage - they check every part of the stage and work passionately. These people are Black Sun. This article is about an interview with Beck, Sun-u, the vice-chairman of Black Sun.
1. Why don't you introduce Black Sun to KWA readers?
BSU> Another name for Black Sun is Illumination Research. Black Sun installs and adjusts illumination. Black Sun was established forty years ago. It is the first and only illumination club in our country. And we work on campus and go to extracurricular activities about illumination. It is a gathering with many students who are interested in illumination.
2. What does Black Sun do?
BSU> Black Sun is composed of four departments: Technical, General Affairs, Planning, and Managing. The Technical department installs and studies illumination, the General Affairs department manages accounting, the Planning department plans about work and the Managing department casts work and promotes the club and various works.
3. Except for the main events, what does Black Sun do?
BSU> We have a lot of club duties due to the nature of our club. We go to Cheonggyecheon to buy parts or check on some manufactured materials. We have some activities associated with illumination. We also have heated discussions about illumination during meetings. And there are some risks involved in using electricity. So we train new members through workshops.
4. Do you have a special test for new members?
BSU> We do not have a separate test. Like other clubs, after students submit an application, the seniors test students' characters. Students answer some simple questions and do a basic talent show.
5. Can you tell me the advantage of Black Sun?
BSU> First, we have many activities. We have experience with illumination and have had many events, so you can get a lot of knowledge. Second, after we installed illuminations that turned on as well as we thought, we feel novelty and our heart is very full of pride at that time. Third, we feel that some unfamiliar tools and kits are difficult to use, but because we are interested in illumination we learn and understand it. Fourth, the best merit of Black Sun is that, if you are in the College of Engineering, you can meet a senior in your same major. Fifth, after we finish the stage and check our bank balance, we cannot tell you how sweet this bank balance is.
6. Do you have any specific memories of Black Sun?
BSU> When I was a freshman, l went to Joongang University for three days. On the first day we installed illumination and used a controller. After that, we moved everything to Seongbuk. On that day, I remember that I moved eight kinds of heavy, special tools. I was so tired after l moved them.
7. What is Black Sun planning this year?
BSU> Umm... Maybe, because we are an illumination research club, we are planning to make some LEDs. Also, we have a lack of publicity, so we are planning to publicize our club. And we are mainly composed of only engineering, so we want students of more diverse majors to join Black Sun.
8. Lastly, we greet the New Year. You will recruit new students. So first, talk about your resolution from now on and second, give advice to freshmen.
BSU> Black Sun has very exhausting activities but we get attached to Black Sun. I will go to the army this year. I will work hard in the army in 2012 and after I return to the university, I will often visit Black Sun to cheer juniors up. There is something I want to talk to freshmen about. Black Sun work is very hard but worthwhile. You will not get this special experience anywhere else. Black Sun is the first and only illumination club. Therefore, do your best.
I interviewed the internal college of the first illumination club, Black Sun. They controlled illumination, planned the stage and installed equipment. In college, many students have never experienced these things. If you have passion and bravery about illumination, why don't you join Black Sun, step by step?

A Failed Perry Energy Initiative
Scott Detrow
Trying to read up on Texas Governor Rick Perry, before tomorrow's big Pittsburgh energy speech?
Bloomberg Businessweek is a good place to start. The magazine has published a lengthy profile on the Republican's record in Austin, including this bit about a failed energy initiative.
Perry's electricity initiative met the same fate for similar reasons. In 2006 the state's largest electric utility, TXU Energy, announced plans to build 11 coal-fired power plants. This would have helped meet an obvious need. Texas is unique in having an electricity grid separate from the rest of the country's, built that way in the 1930s to avoid federal oversight. But this makes it difficult to import power when there are shortages. Rolling blackouts are a continual problem.
The source of the new power—coal—guaranteed an outcry. Rather than go out and try to build support, Perry bypassed the public and the legislature and issued an executive order accelerating the permits, thereby intensifying the opposition. He argued, correctly, that the state needed to generate more power. But he either didn't anticipate or didn't care who would object—not only environmentalists but also whole swaths of suburban Republicans. Perry's order was challenged in court and found unconstitutional. A private equity group later bought TXU and scrapped most of the plans.
Other articles worth reading: a hard look at Perry's job-creation record from the National Journal's Alex Roarty, and the Texas Tribune's PerryPedia.

When was it that you first felt old? When did you first look back on the five, ten years that have gone by and realise it had disappeared in the rear-view mirror far faster than you had imagined?
I know I started to feel old pretty young. I might have been halfway through academy (high school) when I really started to be aware of how quickly everything seemed to be going. Of course it seems a bit daft now, to think you're old at 13 or 14 is ludicrous, but aging is one of these things that's relative, unrelenting and always leaves you with a sense of vertigo when you look how far you've come.
Sound of Silver is James Murphy and LCD Soundsystem's magnum opus, a testament to a time and a place in Murphy's life, the music world and society in general where things weren't quite as they should have been, but things carried on regardless.
But just as importantly it's a hallmark album about growing old and the pains and pleasures that come with it, and no matter what age you are and where on the journey of aging you are, the 9 songs packed onto that album will capture the mood better than almost anything else you can imagine.
LCD Soundsystem were originally more of a dance band, and their debut album released in 2005 was a double-feature of electronic, just-off-the-club hits that bleeped and blooped impeccably and created a real name and a real style of music that other seek to emulate to this day.
Sound of Silver, released just two years later on 12th March 2007, was a gear change – a gear slammed into reverse as Murphy and co. seemed to look at where they were in life and wonder: "How the fuck did we get here?"
And the music captures this realisation that the world around you isn't quite what you made of it before, and that the places you live, and the people you love aren't quite the same either.
It's not the same breathless electronic repetition, it takes a slower, more considered approach – and whilst still having it's dance-punk flavour to it, it's a much more grown-up album. The songwriting alone makes this happen, as Murphy comes into his own with songs about loss and friendship and wistful reflection that are far beyond what could have been though possible from LCD before.
What makes Sound of Silver my favourite album is that by any measure you look at it there's an excellence to it. Every song on the album is solid, and most of them are some of my favourites around too. The stretch in the middle of "All My Friends", "Someone Great" and "Us v Them" has to go down as the best stretch of three songs I could possibly imagine appearing in a row.
"All My Friends" is the centrepiece of the album, and my favourite song of all time. It's about going through life and having moments of fun and regret, but all through a lens of years of reflection and wondering "Where are your friends tonight?". I was all too young when this song hit home, I think, but even now it still strikes painfully true or euphorically true, depending on your mood. It's a song for all occasions, and it always delivers with its building guitars and drums to a stunning crescendo.
"Someone Great" is a song about loss, and the idiosyncrasies that seem so strange as the world continues on even though you think it should stop.
"The worst is all the lovely weather
I'm stunned it's not raining;
The coffee isn't even bitter
Because, what's the difference?".
Everyone loses someone at some point, and carrying on is hard, but we do it anyway. This song speaks so plainly and understandingly, with it's chirpy glockenspiel tinkling away through the song even though it speaks to the worst of times, that it's irresistible.
These two songs are classics, ones that will stand the test of time and deserve as much recognition as they can get, but the album is packed full of other fantastic tracks too.
The song that got me into LCD, "Get Innocuous!", is a Daft Punk/Kraftwerk mash-up of sorts that fosters a dark, plodding melody that is still the epitome of building tension and excitement in music to me. Just look at the video below, with each instrument that's added to the song appearing visually, and tell me that it's not an impeccable piece of music writing.
"North American Scum", "Watch the Tapes" and "Time to Get Away" are all fun, foot-stomping tunes that break the heavy tone of the album and bring the loud and energetic thrills of LCD's past records to this one. Each one has its unique charms, and should always bring a smile to your face with their wry lyrics and quirky arrangements.
The album's title track comes in at number 8 of 9, and is a real hark back to the first record with a long and electronic melody drawn over a rising and falling melody that captures the imagination throughout. The only words you'll hear in it are:
"Sound of Silver, talk to me
Makes you want to feel like a teenager
Until you remember the feelings of
A real live, emotional, teenager
Then you think again"
It's that self-awareness of wanting to go back to your past and relive it, but then realising that it wasn't so good, that shows Murphy's skill in making this album – and this title track was a perfect place to show it so plainly.
Sound of Silver closes with a moving ballad to the city of New York, one that's let Murphy done and titles itself as "Bringing (him) Down". It's an ode to a modern age, where everyone's on a mailing list, but where the times aren't quite as fun, or as dangerously exciting, as they used to be.
It's that lasting note, coupled with all the other songs, that resonates when you hear the whole album together. It's message of dour reflection on life gone by, and the good times and bad that come with it, is something that always inspires me. Even though things can go wrong, right, spectacularly wrong, brilliantly right, there's always more to life ahead – and there's always going to be another moment where you look back and think about all the stuff you did since the last time you glanced back.
Sound of Silver is 10 years old today, but I assure you it doesn't feel old at all. It's character and incredible talent mean that in decades to come people will look back on it, like they do their lives, and think about how it was and how it made them feel. Take a listen and see what it does for you:

Dr. Margaret Doyle, BSc MVB MSc MRCVS, Forensic Veterinarian, Horizon Veterinary Group
Brad Nichols, Senior Manager, Animal Cruelty Investigations, Calgary Humane Society
With the increasing level of recognition and reporting of animal abuse and neglect in communities around the world, and the realization of the one health approach, it's important that reported cases involving animals are dealt with effectively and efficiently. In Calgary, we have established one of the first interdepartmental working groups to take an integrated approach to handling cases of animal cruelty, neglect and animal hoarding. Our team includes local humane society peace officers tasked with enforcing animal protection legislation, Calgary Police Service detectives and forensic veterinarians. The team, led by Brad Nichols of the Calgary Humane Society, Detective Shawna Baldwin of the Calgary Police Service, and Dr. Margaret Doyle, a forensic veterinarian, has become an example for other cities and provinces seeking to establish protocols and procedures for tackling these often complex cases.
A multi-disciplinary approach to animal-involved crimes allows for seamless investigation and results in higher prosecution and conviction rates. Drawing on resources, technical capabilities and experience from a variety of law enforcement and investigative agencies, we are better able to handle not only the cases themselves but to address and manage the collateral victims of these crimes. The link between animal crimes and other forms of community violence has been widely accepted, so to continue to compartmentalize animal crimes and investigate and assist only those victims has been exposed as a narrow-sighted approach. Our Calgary-based initiative would like the opportunity to present our unique and integrated investigative approach of cooperative involvement in animal investigations from an early stage. Frequently, we find our collaborative approach results in successful investigations where, in the past, individual agencies have failed. We will address the benefits of an integrated approach to these investigations from a holistic community perspective.
Dr. Margaret Doyle graduated from the University College Dublin in 2009 before moving to Calgary to practice in small animal primary care. She began working with animal protection officers from the Calgary Humane Society in 2010 and has since completed a Masters in Veterinary Forensics through the University of Florida to help address a need for better veterinary evidence and involvement in animal abuse cases. She currently consults with multiple law enforcement agencies in Alberta on animal abuse and neglect files and focuses on improving inter-agency cooperation. Dr. Doyle has worked on hundreds of cases, from crime scene analysis to necropsies to providing expert witness testimony at trial. She is passionate about increasing the awareness of the connection between animal abuse and domestic and interpersonal violence as a means to combat violence of all kinds in society.
Brad Nichols attended Mount Royal University, obtaining a degree in Justice Studies. Once graduated, he worked municipal enforcement for a rural county before joining the Calgary Humane Society team in 2005 as a Special Constable. Over the last decade he has been promoted to field supervisor, Department Head of Protection and Investigations and most recently, Senior Manager, Animal Cruelty Investigations. During his 12 years with CHS, he have investigated thousands of animal cruelty files and seized hundreds of animals toward prosecutions and convictions. In the last several years, his department has obtained a high public profile and is internationally recognized as a leader in animal cruelty investigations. He has been able to forge strong strategic partnerships with local Police agencies and forensically inclined veterinarians toward constant improvements in animal cruelty investigations.

No Milk
Created by Updated on Mar 21, 2013
Hi Moms Please help me.. my Daughter 1. 5yrs has suddenly stopped drinking milk, this started off once i migrated her from bottle to glass. wht do i do.. i am upset.
| Mar 26, 2013
thank you all for your ideas will try to implement them..
| Mar 22, 2013
Another thing that you can try Christina is .... try to buy a thick good quality straw from market and put that in the glass of milk. you can buy some colorful ones... I have done same with my daughter as she had also stopped taking milk when we started weaning her from bottle. I had bought 2-3 bundles of straws and let her choose the color she wanted... And that was hit for couple of months though .... :) Good Luck
| Mar 21, 2013
Great Christina. Hope your daughter takes to a sippy cup. You could try getting her a plastic glass with an attached straw, one which twirls around maybe. Most children like those. Good Luck :)
| Mar 21, 2013
thank you Anurima for your valuble suggestion i shall start giving her in sippy, my DD has been taking water, juices etc in glass since she was 6 months old. only milk in the bottle. let me try giving her in sippy or some attractive glasses
| Mar 21, 2013
Hi Christina. I can understand your concern as growing children need the daily required amount of calcium. Seems like your daughter is not happy that you replaced her bottle with a glass. Little children associate milk bottles as an object of comfort, just like a breast fed baby would associate breastfeeding and being close to the mother as a soothing and comforting experience. If you suddenly went cold turkey with the bottle, that is, stopped giving milk to her in it suddenly one day, she will react as her object of comfort has been taken away. What you could do is gradually try to wean her off the bottle by offering her milk in an attractive glass once a day. You could begin by giving her some water or juice in the glass and slowly start giving her milk, all the while also giving her milk in the bottle once or twice a day. Cutting down on the bottle gradually may do the trick. If this helps, but my 4 year old daughter drinks milk in a sippy cup, which she holds like a milk bottle and lays down while drinking. I have tried giving her milk in a glass, even got her an attractive straw glass. She drank from it for a few days and went back to her sippy. The sippy is almost 2 years old and the colour has faded! I could not find a similar one in the shops. Infact most toddlers of my friends still drink from the bottle. Some of them are 5-6 years old! SO hang in there, she will take to the glass but for the time being you could give her the bottle back. Hope this helps.

Whatever it takes.
Whenever you need it.
Cordeck Building Solutions is a family-owned US corporation headquartered in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and consisting of two distinct business units: Cordeck Metal Decking Solutions and Cordeck Innovative Floor Solutions®. We are committed to providing high quality building products and services through world-class customer service, and to conducting all business with the highest degree of ethics and standards.
Monday, January 30, 2017
Quality performance is essential, which is why Cordeck builds solutions with the philosophy of doing whatever it takes to help businesses reach their goals. However, that is only one aspect of the equation since price should always factor into the analysis as well. Simply put, it wouldn't make sense to spend $1 million on a new Lamborghini if you could find an equally powerful Ferrari for $250,000 less. In short, performance matters, but so does cost saving. This principle applies to new commercial construction as well.
For a budget-conscious buyer, it is important to consider performance, but it is even more important to get good performance at a great value. With Cordeck's In Floor Wire Management solutions, there is no need to compromise since Cordeck prides itself on providing great performance at an even greater value.
By choosing Cordeck, businesses will receive world-class expertise during every stage of the design and build process. CAD drawings and BIM modeling ensure that communication and collaboration are an integral aspect of strategizing before the final plans are executed, and this leads to effective system designs.
Successful business operations also need to expand, which is why Cordeck provides efficient expansion possibilities to meet these needs. Cordeck's In Floor solutions for wire management offer extensive access points through a grid-like format, meeting the needs for the design plans of today and the years to come. Since Cordeck designs with the future in full view, power and data expansion is less expensive and more efficient compared to alternative expansion methods.
With Cordeck, the In Floor Cellular Raceway System will also be protected by its own version of Superman. If Superman is the "man of steel", Cordeck encases its systems within the "deck of steel". The structural steel framework completely protects and encases the system, providing essential protections against unauthorized access as well as electromagnetic interference.
The possibility for flexible expansion while reinforcing and protecting the present are just two of the ways Cordeck demonstrates its "whatever it takes" vision. In the present, businesses are thoroughly protected, and for tomorrow, expansion is only a few simple steps away.
Compared to other wire-management systems, Cordeck provides a low life cycle cost that saves building owners or tenants thousands of dollars over the long haul. Traditional wire management typically involves using plenum-rated cables. Cordeck, on the other hand, installs cables within the cells of the metal deck, forgoing the added costs of plenum rated cables. On a small scale, this may seem insignificant, but for large jobs, the cost per square foot savings become extremely important for the bottom line of a business.
The cost of Cordeck's In Floor wire management is comparable to a poke-thru solution and provides the significant benefit of a completely flexible system for the life of the building. Since adds and changes are an integral part of maintenance, it is essential to understand that ongoing occupancy costs are going to be extremely high with a poke-thru solution. Multiple trades are involved in a poke-thru add or change, whereas Cordeck's solution allows the vast majority (if not all) of the work to be performed by the facility maintenance team. After occupancy, Cordeck saves owners or tenants thousands of dollars compared to a poke-thru design.
Of the three wire management alternatives, the Cordeck In Floor Solution is the least costly and provides the greatest return on investment. By combining flexible and efficient performance with long-term cost savings, Cordeck's In Floor Cellular Raceway Systems are the perfect solution for discerning buyers on a budget.

This was so good, on Theresa's Making Light, that i had to quote it here in its entirety.
Ralph 4CR looked around in astonishment. �You mean� there are invisible beams all around us, carrying information to all parts of the globe, even as we speak?�
The Master of Communications turned towards him solemnly. �Yes,� he asseverated, �and the information is not carried whole, but is broken up into a myriad of infinitesimal packets, to be reassembled without fail when they reach their destination.�
�You astonish me,� breathed Ralph. �And this information is accessible to all?�
�It is,� nodded the Master. �The issues of the day are debated by all citizens, no matter where they may be located, and communication no longer waits on tides or weather.�
�And what are the great issues so decided?�
The Master cast a glance at the poll on his screen: Which Jedi Knight Are You? He looked severe. �I fear our issues would mean nothing to you across the great gulf of time you have traversed. You should go now and refresh yourself. We will speak later. You have much to learn. Vanna, show our young guest to his room.�
A lissome blonde appeared from behind a curtain and beckoned�

Dear Matt,
I agree with you. The Church is sometimes too critical, too judgmental, and sometimes known too much for what it is against than what is for. And I agree that sometimes perfectly wonderful people — friends and family members — can become Christians and then become snooty. They can then convert their sense of God's grace into a private grace that others are just not worthy of. And, yes, I also agree that for all the talk about forgiveness and transformation that we hear from Christians, there isn't enough of the former practiced nor enough of the latter on routine display.
Let's also admit this with each other: being critical is easy, sometimes we find a sad delight in tossing darts at others, occasionally we find criticism the easiest way to take out our own anger, and it is simpler to criticize than come up with a better solution to a problem. But, if we believe in the power of the gospel to heal and transform, then we Christians ought to be better at avoiding the critical spirit than we do.
There is an insidiousness to the critical trend among some today, Matt. Let me refer to these folks as "parasitic Christians," a term I heard from a friend at coffee the other day.
Parasitic Christians are those who "show their brilliance" by criticizing others, by showing how someone doesn't measure up, by revealing how someone made a slight misstep, by making it clear that someone might be veering off the course. These parasitic Christians, instead of being known for positive and fresh insight into God, into Jesus, into what the Bible says and the simple practices of compassion and grace and love and justice, spread a cancer of we-are-holier-than-thou throughout many pockets in the Church. They make people think that either one is the devil of hell or a saint in glory. They feed off of the slips of other Christians. They seem to find the Church to be the problem. Instead of putting forward good ideas, new ideas, creative conclusions, their approach is attack.
More often than not, Matt, and this often helps me to understand them, parasitic Christians are just frustrated — with their own hopes and fears. Often they may not even know what is making them tick. Out of frustration, they turn to prophetic rhetoric.
But, and I've learned this myself, the best passages in the Bible for the frustrated are not to be found in the vituperative rhetoric of the prophets but in the laments of the Psalms. That is, when the wise are frustrated they complain to God in prayer rather than talk about others in public. So, when you and I get frustrated, maybe not even knowing what we are so agitated about, it is best to pick up the Bible, find the Psalms, and read them — before long we'll come up much more satisfied and much less inclined to feed off our fellow Christians' apparent weaknesses.
It is as easy for me to criticize them as it is for them to criticize others. I think we can deliver ourselves from this cancer if we will accept the challenge of following Jesus. Here's what I mean:
Our challenge, Matt, is to make Christ known by following him and teaching him. The challenge is never to prove that we alone survive as faithful or that we alone are right, or that everyone else seems to be slipping and we've got the evidence to prove it. If we simply spend our time advocating the gospel, opening the eyes of others to Jesus and his kingdom ways, we will find ourselves following Jesus and summoning others to join along. And most importantly, we always discover that we have a whole lot less energy for feeding off the supposed weaknesses of others.
Here's the question I often ask myself: Is my intent the desire to prove someone wrong and therefore myself right, or is my intent to open Jesus to others? Do I want others to walk away from me saying "Man, he's smart" or "He helped me in my walk with God"? That question searches me at times.
Wow, Matt, I just looked at this letter and realized my language was strong. Do you think it is too strong?
Prayers and Blessings,

Good Morning, Cindy
I'm happy to read that you made it back home, safe and sound. I felt myself swerving as I looked at your series of photos; they reminded me of the twists and turns on the Cabot Trail.
Thank goodness you didn't have ice to contend with and could focus on the beauty of your drive.
I think I really should start seriously thinking about a road trip east this year.

Beautiful photos of your winding way, Cindy. It scares me to think what those roads would be like when covered in ice! Glad you had a safe journey home. It does take some time to adapt again, doesn't it? I always have a bit of a hard time readjusting after returning from Toronto.
Have a wonderful week!

What a beautiful post! I love the mountains and we go up to Tennessee as often as possible(usually once or twice a year). This reminds me of those trips, but there isn't usually snow during the times we visit. We have not had the pleasure of traveling Maryland's mountains together, however, and these are wonderful!

Beautiful photos Cindy! I enjoyed seeing this pretty road and it's switch backs. We found some crazy ones in the Rockies last summer. Literally turning directly back around a very sharp curve to a parallel. It was amazing and scary too. At least you had no snow or ice on that particular road. Have a great week and enjoy this sunny Sunday.

Hi Cindy. Boy oh boy you have a mini Riviera there. I love driving little twisty roads and do it as often as I can. Do you drive a standard? I'm a bit spoiled for choice, (husband is a car nut). Standard is so wonderful round the twists. Hope your week is shaping up to be a wonderful one. :)

A new Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll shows Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in a virtual tie in New Hampshire.
Clinton received 37 percent support, with Sanders just behind at 35 percent, when Joe Biden is included in the tally. Biden, who has not said if he will run, received 11 percent support, Jim Webb 3 percent, and Martin O'Malley 1 percent. Lincoln Chafee and Lawrence Lessig each received less than 1 percent support.
Sanders had led Clinton in several recent polls of Democratic voters in New Hampshire, but it appears Clinton's strong debate performance on Tuesday helped her standing in the state. Fifty-four percent of likely voters who watched the debate said they felt that Clinton won, compared to just 24 percent for Sanders.
New Hampshire
The latest news from around the state
"Clinton's willingness to engage Sanders on gun control established her progressive credentials," said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center. "And her debate performance solidified her standing with New Hampshire Democratic voters, who have her leading her closest rival for the first time since July."
Half of those polled said they don't think Biden should run for president at this point, while 36 percent said they think he should run.

Suburban Mom Bonnie Sweeten Goes Sour; Guilty of Abduction Hoax, Allegedly Stole $700K From Law Office
PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) A suburban mother once at the center of a national abduction hoax that started near Philadephia and ended at Florida's Walt Disney World is in police custody in Pennsylvania and is being held on $1 million bail, reports CBS affiliate KYW.
Prior to the hoax, authorities allege Bonnie Sweeten, a paralegal and office manager, stole more than $700,000 from clients and colleagues at the law office where she worked. She also posed as her boss and stole money from his pension account to spend on clothing, jewelry, tanning salons, and gym payments, prosecutors said.
For this deceit, Sweeten, 39, has been accused in a 23-count indictment of offenses including fraud, money laundering and identity theft between 2005 and 2009.
In addition to this new accusation, Sweeten is serving a nine- to 23-month sentence after she plead guilty to identity theft and filing a false police report, in connection with a hoax last year when she telephoned 911 to say she and her daughter had been kidnapped and stuffed in the trunk of a Cadillac.
However, the reality was that Sweeten and her daughter, Julia Rakoczy, had fled to Disney World in Orlando.
In order to finance the trip, Sweeten had withdrawn $12,000 from several bank accounts and used the name and license of a former co-worker to obtain an airline ticket, authorities told KYW.
At the time of her "getaway," Sweeten was already being investigated for possibly swindling $280,000 from her ex-husband's 92-year-old grandfather, in order to repay a law firm client whose settlement money she had diverted for personal use.
Unfortunately for Sweeten, her plan was not foolproof and she was unable to pay the family members who were demanding repayment, prosecutors said.
One of the people who is most baffled by Bonnie Sweeten's antics is her husband Richard L. "Larry" Sweeten. He told the "Today" show that he "more than anybody" wanted to know what caused his wife to flee and that he was unaware of any money problems.
