Highfield Prison houses male offenders, either on remand or serving full custodial sentences and is located in Weatherfield on Bentham Parkway. It housed quite a few male residents from Coronation Street alone.
Present known offenders
Darryl Parkins, the father of Craig Tinker, was some time into serving his sentence there in 2016.
Neil Clifton is currently serving time at the institution, and in June 2018 was visited by his daughter Kayla.
Clayton Hibbs was moved there in January 2019 from Larchfield Young Offenders Institute after he turned eighteen.
Josh Tucker was sent here in October 2019 on a charge of rape. A few days after his arrival, he was stabbed by Abe Crowley and Tez Collier. Josh pinned his attack on David Platt, but subsequently asked to change his statement having been threatened by Paul Foreman, who posed as a uniformed cleaner to gain access to Josh's room in Weatherfield General.
Past offenders
John Stape was held at the prison between 2008 and 2009 for kidnapping Rosie Webster. In January 2009 John was found guilty of the offence and ordered to serve a two year sentence, although would be eligible for parole after twelve months. John and his fiancée Fiz Brown were married in the prison's chapel on 1st October 2009, and he was subsequently released the following month.
Gary Windass served a two month sentence from June to August 2009 after he admitted burgling 5 Grasmere Drive - the residence of Audrey Roberts. Unaware who the property belonged to, David Platt set Gary up to commit the offence but he was foiled when Ted Page caught him in the house and phoned the police. Upon his release, Gary threatened to have David beaten up for framing him.
Tony Gordon was held at the prison between 2009 and 2010 after being arrested and charged for the murder of Liam Connor. In May of that year, he broke out of the prison with the assistance of former cellmate Robbie Sloane in order to get revenge on estranged wife Carla Connor.
Jim McDonald was incarcerated after a failed attempt to rob a branch of the Lancashire & Fyle Building Society in April 2011. He was desperately trying to obtain a sum of £120,000 to enable his former wife Liz to purchase the Rovers Return Inn. After being found guilty, Jim was ordered to serve a minimum sentence of seven years. Some time after his imprisonment, he began selling alcohol to the inmates under the alias of "The Landlord". He was released in 2018
When Peter Barlow was accused of murdering Tina McIntyre in July 2014, he was remanded at the prison and shared a cell with Eugene Clelland (who was also on remand, although his alleged offence was never disclosed). Being an alcoholic Peter craved booze, and came into contact with Jim through his illicit activities. Peter was found guilty of murdering Tina in October that year and sentenced to life imprisonment with an order to serve a minimum of fifteen years, however he was acquitted when Rob Donovan was exposed as the true assailant.
Rob was sentenced in December 2014 and ordered to serve twenty-five years for the murder of Tina McIntyre. Twelve months later, he sent out a visiting order to his ex-fiancée Tracy Barlow and revealed to his cellmate Ian Rigby that he had been unable to move on since Tracy and his sister Carla Connor were both to blame for him being sent down. Rob broke out of the prison in April 2017 and was hidden away by Tracy, as he feared his life when agreeing to testify against a drug operation occurring in the prison. He was transferred to another prison after giving himself up to the authorities.
Robert Preston was sent there in September 2017 after he attacked Rich Collis and was released two months later.
David Platt was sent here in May 2018 for failing to attend court where he shared a cell with Paul Foreman. He returned to the institution in July 2019 when he was given a four-month custodial sentence for helping Nick Tilsley to defraud Audrey Roberts. During this stint, he shared a cell with Abe Crowley and was released in November 2019, on the morning of his wedding to Shona Ramsey.
Lewis Archer was sent here after his arrest in June 2018 for fraud.
Nick Tilsley was sent here on remand in July 2019 for breaking his bail conditions. During this time, he shared a cell with Ash, who attacked both Nick and David.

A nice easy and flavorful pasta dish. This meal came together quickly with frozen cooked shrimp. I LOVE feta cheese. It added a nice twist on the flavor while adding just a touch of saltiness too. You could switch the shrimp for chicken if you prefer.

I have to admit, I didn't want to like this place when I first arrived. What kind of BBQ place does pizza and bbq? How dare they. $10 for a BBQ sandwich? … Then the sandwich came and I changed my mind. The pork was actually tender and moist. It was not something you'd get in a crock pot like a lot of supposed bbq places. It was not something that was destroyed and dried out sitting on a grill instead of in a smoker, like other bbq places in MA. I am not saying this comes anywhere close to real pit bbq. But it is as pleasant a pulled pork sandwich as I've had in Massachusetts.
As for their brick oven pizza, NOW we're talking! Best pizza I've had outside of East Boston and the North End! Reasonably priced, perfect crust, wonderful smattering of sauce, very fresh and flavorful toppings. "Burn your mouth" piping hot out of the oven. Totally worth the wait. Just think of Slaters as a pizza joint. A good one.
Very comfortable, chill place. Excellent food. Owner is super friendly and has a great attentive staff. Highly recommend! Looking forward to the patio this summer.
With family coming from out of state, 19 of us were getting together. The weather was not in our favor for anything outdoors. Called Slaters, and they handled it from there. Thank you for a great evening.
The spicy wings and pulled pork were EXCELLENT. Definitely will be back. Do yourself a favor and order the wings.
Excellent pizza and wings. Great staff and friendly. Super job!
Not only is Slater's food absolutely delicious, but working with Bruce, Paula and team for catering is a breeze. They are always eager and excited to serve our employees food and can accommodate for any event – large or small, indoors or outdoors! They are a fan favorite here in the office and I recommend Slater's catering to everyone!

The debate about artificial intelligence and its application in robotics has raised a lot of concern that human beings will be declared redundant in the near future as robots will take over jobs that are currently performed by man. This has resulted in a lot of fear as many people especially casual laborers who are the most threatened don't know what the future holds for their jobs.
This article is meant to ease your pressure as we look at 5 reasons why we are confident that robots can't replace and will never replace man.
#1 A robot will never display empathy
The thing that makes us human such as our own emotions and our understanding of other people's emotions sets us apart from machines. No amount of no ones and zeros can replicate this. In as much as business owners may dream of cutting down their operational costs by replacing humans with robots, at some point, they will end up losing customers because business is not just about service but also about personal interaction. Robots will never be able to show empathy to customers and this will negatively affect customer experience.
#2 A robot will never be able to build relationships
One of the ways to keep customers coming back is to establish trust by building and sustaining good relationships with them. This is the only way you can acquire new customers as well as retain old ones. This is an ability that is unique to humans as our social nature enables us to build and sustain relationships. Again, no amount of ones and zeros can be able to replicate this aspect of humanity.
#3 A robot will never be able to mirror humans
Artificial intelligence is based on the assumption that humans are predictable. This is however a huge misconception. Different people have worldviews that are shaped differently based on their environment. This makes humans very unpredictable because our individual responses are influenced by very many different variables. It will be impossible for a programmer to build a machine that is able to mimic all the different human personalities and behaviors. This may be open to debate but truth be told, humans are too unpredictable and too complicated.
#4 A robot can't think outside the box
An important ability by humans is that of being able to think outside the box therefore being able to find creative ways of solving various emerging problems. Robots can't and will never be able to do this because their programming will not allow it. Robots are essentially programmed to work within their code and in as much as there is a fantasy world where a machine can think on its own, in the real world this will not be achieved in our life time.
#5 Bottom line is humans prefer dealing with fellow humans
Ultimately, nothing beats a human smile, touch or voice. There is a good feeling people get when they interact with fellow humans that a machine will never be able to provide. In as much as automated services may be convenient, fast and efficient, humans are social creatures and they will always crave the attention of fellow humans.
This article is not meant to paint technology such as artificial intelligence or any other general tech in bad light. In fact it's quite the opposite. We see a world where machines will just be a tool to enhance service delivery and efficiency of humans but not a replacement.


text: Architecture Facilities The Architecture program is housed in URBN Center, where adaptive reuse of the building serves a much as a teaching aid as inspiration. The original Venturi Scott Brown building has been enhanced by an award winning retrofit by MS&R Design, including a skylight covered atrium, exposed beams and open spaces. Many Architecture classes are held in open alcoves on two floors of URBN Center. The moveable walls, tables and chairs can be combined in various configurations to accommodate different class sizes and needs. Overhead projectors, mobile monitors and wheeled white boards provide adjustable teaching tools, while the corkboard walls allow easy pinup for critiques and reviews. These spaces are also used for department workshops and events. The alcoves are accessible for use by students as extra work surfaces and study areas when not in use. Studios for the Full-Time 2+4 Option: The large windowed, light-filled studio with dedicated individual work stations for full-time students enrolled in the 2+4 Option is located on the top floor in URBN Center. Multiple large tables enable space for group work and larger projects. Shelves spanning the room provide storage for models. Studios for the Part-Time Evening Option: There is an open studio with 24 hour access in URBN Center for students enrolled in the Part-Time Evening Program. This studio is equipped with a computer lab, large tables, flat files for materials, sturdy shelving for larger models, light tables and a small lounge. Computer Labs, Plotting and Printing: There are two open computer labs in URBN Center for the use of our Architecture students. Students can send their work from these labs or from home through our SharePoint file submission system to the Westphal Print Center in URBN Center. Prints, in large and small formats, can be picked up 24 hours a day. Hybrid Making Lab: The Hybrid Making Lab is located in URBN Center. There are two Universal laser cutters, 3D printers, a CNC router and small scale power tools for student use, including a variety of saws and drills. All Architecture, Design & Urbanism department students will have access to the Lab after appropriate training. The Hybrid Making Lab is open during the Fall, Winter and Spring Terms. Please check the posted hours on their door. All Architecture students also have access to the Visual Studies Arts Annex Woodshop. Near to URBN Center, the Annex Shop is located at 3220 Cherry Street and offers access to larger wood working equipment.

Georgia False Claims Act Defense
Georgia False Claims Act Lawyers
The United States and the State of Georgia each have a law known as a "False Claims Act." These laws allow suits against parties who allegedly defraud the government, and provide that the government may recover treble damages, plus fines and penalties. False Claims Act lawsuits often allege that a defendant engaged in conduct that could be considered to be illegal, and also could subject a defendant to a host of collateral consequences, such as loss of a professional license or being barred from doing business with the government.
In addition, each False Claims Act has a "qui tam" provision which allows private citizens to file lawsuits on behalf of the government, against parties who defraud the government. These private citizens are informally called "whistleblowers."
While any person or entity that contracts with or gets money from the government is a potential False Claims Act defendant, no industry sees more False Claims Act lawsuits than the healthcare industry. Given the extraordinary incentives for whistleblowers to file False Claims Act lawsuits, these suits are becoming a cost of doing business for the medical profession.
At Chilivis Cochran Larkins & Bever LLP, our lawyers have decades of experience representing persons and businesses in the healthcare field, including doctors and other healthcare professionals, as well as persons and businesses in many other industries, in False Claims Act lawsuits. Our versatile law practice is equipped to handle all issues you may face, including civil lawsuits in federal court, white collar crime charges and administrative law matters such as licensing and disciplinary proceedings. We have the skill, experience and resources to effectively represent you in this matter.
Contact our False Claims Act Attorney
If you are facing, or believe you may be facing, a False Claims Act or whistleblower lawsuit, our law firm is here for you. Contact us today online or by telephone at (404) 233-4171 to arrange a consultation with an experienced Georgia attorney.

I was sitting at gate A6 in Lambert St. Louis airport heading to Atlanta for the 48th AJC Peachtree Road Race, the biggest foot race in America with its 60,000 entrants. Sitting across from me was a guy wearing a fishing vest over a checkered shirt, jeans, half-boots, and a ball cap. We don't see too many such as he on the road circuit. But such is the nature of sport in its kaleidoscopic array.
Whether aerobic, anaerobic, or hardly breathing at all, sport continues to animate the American experience, hovering near war on the most revered of its activities list. Over the course of many years I have covered a number of sports other than my specialty, foot racing, including, oddly enough, sumo wrestling. But in the mid-1990s I worked on a series for ESPN called In Pursuit that followed the exploits of disabled athletes all over the globe over a wide expanse of the sporting spectrum. In April 1998 I was assigned to cover the 12th U.S. Open Bass Tourney on Lake Monroe in Sanford, Florida.
"Bass fishing?" I queried my producer, wondering how I had received the assignment. But once I dipped my journalistic toe in the water, I soon found out that competitive fishing, like competitive anything, reveals itself to be a world of peculiar charms and attractions that can stand against any other sporting contest.
Upon reaching Lake Monroe, the first thing I wanted to know, as I did when approaching any new contest I was unfamiliar with was, "where is the competitive dynamic? Where's does IT happen?"
In short order what I learned was that professional bass fishing was a sport of high pressure and calm nerves, a combination that began even before the first lure was cast. And what I eventually came to fully understand, even appreciate, was whether it was balls-out racing or tender hooking an elusive gill-flapper, the common denominator in all sport revealed the human capacity to handle pressure under fire.

Last period. Hot. Humid. First part of the lesson falls apart completely, no calming down here. 'Journal writing' later? Yeah, right. Plan … P?
"15 minutes to see who can keep a piece of paper in the air the longest? Must let go, cannot touch or be supported by anything, launch with two feet on the ground."
15 minutes of making mayhem, not one child uninterested, withdrawn. Great atmosphere, humour. Clever designs, different approaches to the problem. After that, 15 minutes of launching and friendly, funny argy bargy whose was in the air the longest. The mighty mess all cleaned up in five.
We have a teen who sits on the couch, always quiet, withdrawn, "no good at anything Sir, it's all luck" lack of belief in any of his abilities, poor attendance record and diagnosed with things he … certainly ISN'T displaying now! He tests, he shows, he smiles, he tries and … comes second, close to the winner and far from number three. Leaves beaming, "Bye Mister".
Think we have some material to work with there as far as sense of agency, internal locus of control, self-esteem and desire to be included, doing things that are valued? Yeah, we'll get to the literacy and curriculum thing, for sure.
Yes, he might be in a complete heap tomorrow, no guarantee. All small steps, small steps. Or as the motto of our school goes: "One student at a time."
PS One of my 'aspirations' this year is to briefly recount these little gems (and flops!) that happen in a place called school. I do so publicly not for admiration nor criticism (believe me, I am NOT a good teacher in many a mind based on this) but to simply add to the rich tapestry of understanding of what is it that teachers do. Because the moment you can 'define it' – it changes. And I like that in all its messiness.

AIA HSW/SD Certified Sustainable Metal Roofing Seminar
This seminar is approved by the American Institute of Architects for Health/Safety/Welfare and most recently for Sustainable Design. AIA Members will receive 1 LU/HSW/SD Hour upon completion of the course. Berridge Manufacturing Company has been an AIA HSW Passport provider of metal roofing seminars since 1998 and has presented this seminar to hundreds of AIA, CSI and RCI local and regional chapters and conferences, as well as individual and multi-office seminars around the country for more than a decade. The seminar is also a great educational tool for distributors or contractors who want to educate their sales teams about metal roofing.
We constantly update sustainable design information as it relates to metal roofing and as the importance of the subject continues to grow with architects. Several LEED credits on various aspects of metal roofing are available and described during the show. More than 60% of Energy Star-labeled roofing products are metal roof and coatings designed for metal roofing. This makes metal roofing an important seminar topic.
The seminar teaches the keys to Green, watertight metal roofing and consists of a digital PowerPoint presentation of metal roofing products, details, specifications and examples of installations. To end the seminar product samples are passed around for hands-on review and questions are taken. A BMC Portable Roll former can be demonstrated in a parking area adjacent to the meeting room to conclude the seminar.

The Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE) will hold a workshop about its Conservation Tracking Tool on May 5 at the Lower Colorado River Authority, Hancock Building, General Office Complex Board Room
in Austin, Texas.
Registration is free, but space is limited. Please register by April 23 by sending name, affiliation and contact information to Amanda Dewees at email@example.com or by calling, 512.473.3200, ext 2230.
The workshop will provide an overview of the tool, which is designed to help water utilities in the planning and evaluation of conservation programs through the analysis of water savings, costs, and other benefits. Managers, water conservation planners, program implementers, and utility staff will benefit from learning how the tool can predict water conservation effects on long-term costs and short-term revenues. Being able to collectively plan and evaluate conservation programs will benefit long-term integrated resource planning as well as short-term drought management.
Mary Ann Dickinson, founder and executive director of the Alliance for Water Efficiency, will speak at the workshop. With more than 35 years of experience in water and natural resources, Dickinson is familiar with issues facing water resource planners and water utilities.
The tracking tool is free to current Alliance for Water Efficiency members. To receive a copy, members should complete the Terms of Use Agreement at the AWE Web site. Non-members can get more details at the Web site or at the workshop.

We had a hard time coming up with something to do. Since I just wanted time with him I suggested we start our Christmas shopping. He agreed so out we went.
Alone. So peaceful.
Before heading home we stopped at Chick-fil-a for dinner and shakes/ice dream. We were nice and brought the kidlings home a little something too. We continued our date at home....

Trethowans Solicitors act for shareholders of He-Man Equipment Limited
The Corporate Team at Trethowans Solicitors have advised the shareholders of He-Man Equipment Limited on the sale of the entire share capital to HM Holding Ltd, an investment vehicle primarily backed by a group of investors including Jon Moulton, one of the UK's best known private equity investors.
He-Man Equipment Limited, which trades as He-Man Dual Controls, is based in Southampton and has been in existence since 1931. As the dual controls system of choice for most car manufacturers and driving instructors, He-Man is the UK's leading dual control supplier.
Adrian Field, Investment Director for HM Holding, commented: "We are pleased to back the management buy-out of the business and the transaction went very smoothly. We are excited about the future prospects for this company given its unique designs and its well-recognized high-quality products."
The corporate aspects of the transaction were dealt with by Partner, Mike Watson, alongside Jamie Earley and Arcadius Gregory. Steve Pittaway, of Taktika Business Solutions, who had previously provided management consultancy services to the company and acted as non-executive chairman, project managed the deal on behalf of the sellers.
Mike Watson commented: "We were delighted to assist the shareholders of He-Man Equipment Limited and it was a real pleasure to work with them and the management team on this transaction. He-Man Dual Controls have built a great reputation in the sector and I wish them and the new shareholders every success in the future."
Former shareholder of He-Man Equipment Limited, Lionel Saph, said: "I'm grateful for the support and guidance we received from Trethowans and Steve Pittaway. I also wish HM Holding and the management team every success with the business in the future."

38-2-9.1. Special motion to dismiss unwarranted or specious lawsuits; procedures; sanctions; severability.
A. Any action seeking money damages against a person for conduct or speech undertaken or made in connection with a public hearing or public meeting in a quasi-judicial proceeding before a tribunal or decision-making body of any political subdivision of the state is subject to a special motion to dismiss, motion for judgment on the pleadings, or motion for summary judgment that shall be considered by the court on a priority or expedited basis to ensure the early consideration of the issues raised by the motion and to prevent the unnecessary expense of litigation.
B. If the rights afforded by this section are raised as an affirmative defense and if a court grants a motion to dismiss, a motion for judgment on the pleadings or a motion for summary judgment filed within ninety days of the filing of the moving party's answer, the court shall award reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred by the moving party in defending the action. If the court finds that a special motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment is frivolous or solely intended to cause unnecessary delay, the court shall award costs and reasonable attorney fees to the party prevailing on the motion.

I've known a few people (and I've heard of more) who say they just don't like fantasy. When I've asked why not, the answer has usually been that they don't like the orcs and trolls and goblins and elves and dwarves and all that sort of thing. They prefer realistic stories that have to do with the real world.
So why does fantasy exist at all if it's mere freakish escapism with no connection to reality? Why can't we get our heads out of the clouds and settle down to something more practical?
I'll spoil the end for you: I believe that fantasy is eminently practical — that it has much more to do with real life than most people might suspect.
Fantasy reflects our world through a curious sort of lens, and by showing it this way, it helps us see our world all the more clearly. That's the real magic.
Sometimes this roundabout way is the only way for us to see things about our world that we've been blinded to, not because they're hidden, but because they're right under our nose. I agree with C.S. Lewis that humans are marked by "the horror and neglect of the obvious." Fantasy helps us see the good and evil, mercy and cruelty, courage and cowardice, justice and treachery, and wonder and awe in our world more clearly than we might have seen otherwise.
But some people haven't experienced this. Either they've never tried, or they have tried but couldn't see past the elves, wargs, wizards, nymphs, and the like. It seems people who don't like fantasy make a great mistake: thinking that these fantastical things are what fantasy is *about.*
All these fay and faerie elements are the skin of fantasy, not its soul.
Of course, bad fantasy might focus on the dragons and gnomes and witches and magic for the sake of the spectacle they provide, and stories like that are hardly worth telling.
What do you think? Does fantasy give us something that can't be gotten elsewhere? Does it have other value or uses?

Sunday Scribblings: Sinking Feeling
Thursday was the first day of school for the lad. He was quite excited at the prospect. He'd spent all last year, slumming with me on campus. He was excited about the teacher he was going to have. "Is she the best teacher there?" I'd answer him by lowering my voice -- so the others wouldn't hear -- and say, "The best teacher ever." All last year, I'd point her out and we'd wave to her and he'd smile at her.
He would learn how to read books! He would learn how to paint even more magnificent pictures than he currently paints! He would make new friends! He would be in kindergarten!
But then, unbeknown to us, he got a sinking feeling.
His first day was on Thursday. Up until the moment Pete let go of his hand, the lad seemed fine. In an instant, he melted. That sinking feeling dragged his sorry butt down into a puddle. He was drowning in hysterics. I wrote about it that day. His question to the principal amid his hysterics? "Will I ever see my Mom again?"
He did settle down. He had a fine first day of school once he settled down. And he was going to not cry on his second day of school, no sir. It was going to be his birthday present to me.
We didn't make it to the gate on Friday. He started crying 20 yards away. We pulled up short near the benches. And then he did what he inevitably does in moments of extreme stress for him. He puked. And then he puked again. Little puddles, really, those two. I washed them down with his bottle of water. You could barely tell.
By the time I'd gotten the principal to join me with him, his sinking feeling kicked him straight in the gut, and he spewed like only he can.
It took a few minutes, away from the classroom, sitting and talking, then walking to the bathroom, and then walking back to that gate. He didn't see his teacher walking the children into class. He only saw the remainder of the single-file line of children, followed by another woman. He hugged me. I hugged him. He was teary, but he was going.
Then, "Mom, Mom, I've got to tell you something," was his blood-curdling scream. I spun back to him. The other woman was grabbing him to keep him back. I ran up to him and opened the gate -- the hell with you lady, that's my son -- and he screamed, "That's not my teacher! That's not my teacher!" He was terrified. And then his teacher was there.
Sure, we have our theory now about the cause of it, but we didn't recognize it when it occurred. In the orientation on Wednesday, the day before the first day of school, the teacher was explaining how the kids are cared for. You leave them at the gate. And parents can't go beyond the gate. And they are so how careful about returning the kids to their parents at the end of the day. And then she made some mention of kidnapping not being possible or some such line.
And one little boy latched onto a word. And he sunk.
[Here's hoping others' sinking feelings are proved wrong. Visit Sunday Scribblings.]
[By the way, the other woman -- the one who wasn't his teacher -- is the morning kindergarten teacher. They work closely together, of course, but the lad didn't know her.]

Some youngsters just aren't ready for kindergarten. My oldest boy cried everyday when he first started. Turns out we were both crying, him inside, me in the parking lot. After a week we decided to wait until the next year. It was the best for both of us. By the third guy I wasn't even needed to walk down the hall.

Love the engaging story line and the twist at the end. It kept me reading on. It brought back memories of how the mummy of my boy hid behind pillars to watch him enter the second day of class. Excellent post!

Poor little chap, no wonder he was worried - the first days at school are hard enough as it is, without having to worry about being kidnapped as well!

Oh, wow. I wondered what caused such an extreme reaction. 1 word. Kids are so susceptible.

I have no idea how it happened but all three of my kids went trippy-trotting oh so happily into kindergarten. I don't remember any of them even giving me a backward glance, much less a wave. However, the spring before the oldest started school, she was in a daycare program and I didn't learn until years later when she told me herself, how she felt so terrified and isolated there. Funny that the daycare providers never mentioned a word to me when I picked her up about her being uncommunicative with them, segregating herself from the rest of the kids and such.
Here's hoping things will start to mellow out -for both of you.

Oh, that poor boy. I remember how terrified I was of kidnapping at that age. I took the "kid" part very seriously - one of the great advantages of being a grown-up, I felt, is that one could no longer be kidnapped.

Poor little sweet brave guy. I hope that things get better this week! I hope he has a really sweet librarian. I hope that everyone smiles at him and reassures his wide little eyes. I wish he were at my school. I'd go give him a hug right now. It WILL get better. For everyone.

Advice from Prior Faculty
Preparing a Successful Project
When Faculty from prior UCSB Crossroads projects talk to us about their experiences and learning—what they did that worked well and what they would recommend that others do in future interdisciplinary collaborations—they tend to emphasize four basic pieces of advice. As you plan out your project proposal, these ideas may be helpful for you to keep in mind.
(1) the importance for Faculty of having Concrete Goals to drive interdisciplinary collaboration and learning, from the beginning.
It can be easy for academic minds to fall into debates about abstract ideas, nuances of terminology, and differences in disciplinary perspectives—and valuable group time can be lost in the process. Having a concrete, agreed-upon goal for the project helps to direct group conversations from day 1: giving Faculty a way to frame and focus seminar themes at every group meeting, working toward specific next steps and deliverable outcomes.
(2) the value that Graduate Fellows find in Constructing and Helping Apply Lectures / Course Curricula together with faculty—that it takes effort on both sides, but the Fellows find it motivating, worthwhile, and empowering.
Putting together the narrative arc of a lesson's ideas and examples, seeing how those lessons fit together into a course's larger educational goals, and selecting the most poignant readings and activities to drive home that learning: these are skills that many graduate students want to develop, but get few opportunities to work on, in a dedicated way, with expert support and faculty guidance. Creating time in the second quarter where Fellows—paired with Faculty, in small cohorts, and/or as a larger project think tank—develop teaching modules for the courses they will be TAing is something that the Fellows consistently voice appreciation for: it takes a lot of thinking and effort, but turns their teaching quarter into something personal, that they are invested in and proud of, and that helps them grow as educators and academics.
(3) the inevitable investment of Time, and Willingness to be Uncomfortable as learners, in coordinating perspectives and merging understandings.
Most faculty involved in these interdisciplinary collaborations describe a learning curve that is both challenging and invigorating: where they have to step out of their role as experts and ask very basic questions in order to understand their academic peers' distinct disciplinary methods, standards of evidence, intellectual lenses and priorities, institutional motives and vocabularies. Creating space for this learning—regular breaks for asking questions and paraphrasing others' ideas, online forums for building project vocabulary lists or posting explanations and links after meetings, occasional big-picture days for stepping back and assessing where the group has come and is going—helps the Faculty to enrich their own understandings and research approaches, and allows the Graduate Students to watch their mentors modeling good (i.e., humble, curious, supportive, motivated) learning practices as the group develops its knowledge-base together.
(4) the usefulness of Taking Teachable Moments when you see them, as faculty—to Model question-asking and perspective-seeking in the group, to Teach/Lead in moments where experience and familiarity will add clarity or movement forward, and to Collaborate actively (including Potential Interventions for non-Crossroads faculty who are hijacking conversations – making sure to make room for Grad Fellows' participation).
As mentioned above, the learning process in any group collaboration requires time and willingness. Perhaps even more notably in research projects that span disciplinary lines, such learning processes can be emotionally, intellectually, and socially uncomfortable for those involved. When stresses arise in these environments, participants tend to fall back on self-affirming habits—filibustering about a topic they are comfortable with, defensively rejecting alternate viewpoints or approaches, pulling rank or ignoring certain peoples' contributions—which can undermine the very core of an interdisciplinary collaboration's value: that it brings together well-honed specialties in combinations that compliment and fortify one another. To support this mutual sharing, listening, learning, and creating, Faculty need to be proactive in modeling and facilitating these behaviors: recognizing when the time is ripe for teaching from experience, eliciting others' knowledge-bases, fielding incomplete ideas for others to build on, and offering useful pieces to strengthen others' valued contributions.

The Carosites are a bipedal species originally native to Carosi IV. Carosite culture experienced a major upheaval 200 years ago when the Carosi sun began an unusually rapid expansion. The Carosites spent 20 years evacuating Carosi IV, their homeworld, in favor of Carosi XII, a remote ice planet which became temperate all too soon. The terraforming continues two centuries later, and Carosi has a great need for scientists and other specialists interested in building a world.

When it comes to crunches, people tend to get chills because of the hard work involved. Some people also feel it to be boring and hence look for some other alternative. There has been a long debate about whether plank is the best exercise for abs or the crunches but considering the research report released in April 2014, it has been found out that traditional crunches are really good for shaping up the abdominals.
The researchers at American Council on Exercise (ACE) used the study of from the University of Wisconsin in order to compare the impact of various abdominal exercises and equipments for traditional crunches. The researchers also compared several ab equipments like Ab circle Pro, Ab Roller, Ab Lounge, Perfect Sit-up, Ab- Coaster, Ab Rocket, Ab Wheel and the Ab Straps in order to find out their effectiveness for the purpose of shaping up the abs. The other core exercises such as yoga boat pose, stability ball crunch, decline bench curl-up, captain's chair crunch, bicycle crunch were also considered for the study.
When the study was made on all of these above mentioned equipment and exercises, the researchers found shocking results. They held the view that none of these exercises or equipments were enough to shape up the abdominal muscles. However, they stated that the traditional crunches can make a significant difference to the shape of muscles.
You must be surprised by the results and so are we. A lot of people try several of the above mentioned exercises and equipments but none of them work in the same way as the traditional crunches. The natural core exercises are the most efficient when it comes to making abs. The certified personal trainer at ACE, Jacque Ratliff also agrees with the results and agrees that traditional crunches are the best way to reach stronger abs.
An ample of gym goers hold the belief that crunches are not natural but in reality, there are so many activities in daily life that require crunch movement. Ratliff added that getting out of the bed in the morning requires crunch movement like getting up from a fall and even playing with the kids on the floor. The results of the study have come off as a surprise to a substantial number of gym goers but the fact remains intact that traditional crunch is the best way to get proper strong abs.
In order to conduct the study and forge out the results, the researchers used electrodes and placed them on the upper and lower rectus abdominals, external obliques and the rectus femoris of the people participating in the survey. After setting up the arrangement, all the ab exercises and equipments were tested. When the results came out, traditional crunches were considered to give the best muscle activation. Side plank and front plank made a great impact on the upper muscle activation in the upper abs. However, they reduced the muscle activation in the lower abdominals of the participants.
The conclusion does not point to the fact that you should skip all the other exercises and stick to traditional crunches for making stronger abs. But it is now clear that the importance of traditional crunches is very important when it comes to building up abs. There is a constraint with traditional crunches though. It is not so safe for everyone as reported by Ratliff. The use of traditional crunch exercise shall be resonant with your goals in the workout. If you are looking for the stability of the trunk, then traditional crunches are not a good option. But if the person is on the lookout for strengthening the abs through forward flexion, then there is nothing better than the traditional crunches. The key lays in the proper execution of the ab exercise, according to Ratliff.
The initiation of traditional crunches takes off with lying down on the ground with your back. However, the research by ACE was done through bent knees and feet resting on the ground. You should thus put the hands on the back of the head and not the neck and this movement must include curling your shoulders and start to move the upper back off the ground while taking the forehead towards the ceiling of the room. The most common mistake that is made by the gym goers while doing the traditional abs crunch exercise is that they tuck their chin into the chest and use hands in order to take their head forward. This minimizes the stress on the abdominal muscles and the exercise becomes useless therefore. The hands shall be used only as a bed for resting your head and the abdominals must be used in order to pull your body forward.
In a nutshell, crunches may not serve to be the best abs exercise if you are suffering from the back ailments. If the planks and your equipments are working for you, then you should not give them up either. The key to getting proper abs using traditional crunches is to do them properly, otherwise it can easily backfire on the subject.

Born in Ohio, Eddie Maple began riding horses at age 12 and won his first Thoroughbred race at 17 aboard Swami in 1966 at Charles Town. He began his career in Ohio and West Virginia and moved on to New Jersey before establishing himself in New York in 1971.
Maple won the Belmont Stakes twice, rode to three upset victories of Forego on different horses and piloted Secretariat to victory in the last race of that champion's career. In statistics since 1976, he had 217 graded stakes winners and 363 wins in all stakes. He led jockey standings for meetings at Saratoga and Aqueduct.
Maple rode many horses for Woody Stephens, including Horse of the Year Conquistador Cielo, on whom he scored in one of the three Metropolitan Handicaps the rider won. He also won the Belmont Stakes for Stephens on Crème Fraiche, having won the classic as well on Temperence Hill. Maple's three wins over Forego came in the Metropolitan on Arbees Boy and two Suburban Handicaps on Foolish Pleasure and Quiet Little Table. Maple was aboard Secretariat for his victory in the 1973 Canadian International.
In 1983, Maple won the Champagne, Futurity, etc., on 2-year-old stablemates Devil's Bag and Swale for Stephens, and four years later was regular rider of 2-year-old champion Forty Niner for Stephens.
Maple's other major winning mounts included Sabin, Awad, De La Rose, Optimistic Gal, Miss Oceana, Alydar, Dehere, Sky Beauty, Missy's Mirage, Yonder, Nastique, Gone West, Conquistarose, Cox's Ridge, I'm Sweets, Carr de Naskra, Optimistic Gal, Stephan's Odyssey, Herat, White Star Line, Script Ohio, Miss Oceana, Eastern Fleet, Number, Caveat, Willow Hour, Believe It, Mrs. Warren, Slew o' Gold, Majesty's Prince, Icecapade and For the Moment.
In 1991, Maple moved to Italy, where he won that country's One Thousand Guineas on Arranva.
In addition to multiple victories in the Belmont, Suburban, and Met Mile, Maple won the Saranac Handicap seven times, the Hempstead (now the Ogden Phipps) and the Saratoga Special five times each, the Dwyer, Carter and Remsen four times each and the Futurity, Super Derby, Breeders' Futurity, Manhattan and Delaware Handicap three times each.
He had back-to-back wins in the Travers Stakes and also had two victories in the Alabama, Champagne, Wood Memorial, Ladies, Canadian International, Oaklawn Handicap, Arlington-Washington Lassie and Matron.
Other races he won included the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Arlington Million, Apple Blossom, Florida Derby, Young America, Withers, Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup, Hollywood Futurity, Hollywood Derby, Sword Dancer, Matchmaker, Louisiana Downs Handicap, Black Helen, Man o' War, Monmouth Oaks and Hopeful.
Maple was voted the George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award for 1995 and the Mike Venezia Memorial Award in 1998.
Eddie Maple was inducted into the National Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame in 2009.

Bank Lends Support to Servicemembers
By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 2006 - When Army met Texas A&M on the Aggie's home turf Sept. 16, 100 servicemembers and their guests were in the stands, thanks to the Bank of America Military Bank in San Antonio.
The servicemembers, patients at Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston, received the tickets as a gesture of appreciation for their sacrifices, Kirk Frady, vice president of military affairs for Bank of America Military Bank, said.
"It was just our way of showing our support for the troops and thanking them for their service to the country," Frady said. "It was a great patriotic event between two very patriotic, military-oriented teams."
The game was close, 28-24, and although Army gridders couldn't pull a win out of their berets, it was a hit with the servicemembers, Judith Markelz, program manager of the Soldiers and Family Assistance Center at Fort Sam Houston, said. The center dispersed the tickets.
"It was great. There was not a single soldier or Marine that didn't have a wonderful time," she said. "Two of them came up to me afterwards and said, 'This is the best thing we've ever done.'"
The fun, however, began well before the actual kick-off with some tailgating, compliments of Greg Corwin and the Capt. Scott Corwin Foundation, Frady said. Corwin's son was a West Point graduate who served two tours in Iraq and returned home to Fort Stewart, Ga. He was still on active duty when he was killed in a shooting near his home in Savannah, Ga., May 29, 2004. The case is still open.
"There's got to be more generous people, but I don't know who they are," Markelz said. "He's taken what could've been such a negative thing and turned it into such a wonderfully positive thing."
The football game wasn't the first event in which Bank of America Military Bank, located across the street from Fort Sam Houston, offered its support to servicemembers, Frady said. The bank has sent care packages to the 3rd Infantry Division out of Fort Stewart, Ga., and the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Ky.
The bank also is planning a barbecue later this month for the wounded servicemembers and their families at Fort Sam Houston. In addition to great food, they'll get a special performance, Frady said.
"We have a live band coming in to entertain them with live music," he said. "It's just, again, our way of showing our appreciation for their service to our country."

2 BISD trustees plan to challenge DOJ's redistricting ruling
Weeks after the federal government squashed voter-approved redistricting plans, two Beaumont ISD trustees are preparing to pitch a redrawn map that they say will uphold their constituents' wishes and will guarantee minority representation on the school board.
Trustees Mike Neil and Tom Neild have revamped the rejected map, adding an additional majority black district and bringing the total districts with majority black residents to four, Neil said.
Last month, the Department of Justice ruled that the district failed to show that the proposed five single-member district, two at-large member plan would offer black voters the same voting opportunities they currently have with seven single-member districts.
The seven single-member districts include four majority black districts.
More than 10,000 voters - most from Beaumont's West End - helped pass a proposition to change the board from seven single-member districts to 5-2 in May of 2011.
"It is our job as a school board to implement what voters asked us to implement," said Neil. "Tom and I still are very intent for what the voters voted for."
Board President Woodrow Reece said he does not think Neil's plan will win the Justice Department's approval. Reece added he will most likely not support Neil's plan if it came to a board vote.
"I thought things were fine with the 7-0," Reece said of the district's current single-member district plan.

Shop Direct, the firm behind online retailers like very.co.uk and Littlewoods.com, just dropped its full year results, and they seem pretty excited about their future in mobile commerce.
The company has just reported a third consecutive year of record profits. Profits spiked by 78% to £71.7 million ($US110 million), despite sales across the board only growing by 3% to £1.8 billion ($US2.8 billion).
Shop Direct — which describes itself as the "UK's second largest pureplay online retailer — has its roots in the old-fashioned, mail order catalogues that were once hugely popular, but Tuesday's results statement shows that it is very much putting its faith in selling goods on mobile devices.
By the looks of the figures, the focus on mobile commerce is paying dividends, especially on very.co.uk, Shop Direct's flagship brand. Sales on mobile devices grew by 51% over the year, and mean that 59% of very's sales now come from mobile.
"Very.co.uk and mobile have been the outstanding performers for us. We're working hard to keep our lead in m-commerce, and Very is now the UK's fastest growing department store. This is now a disciplined business too, in the way we sell, spend and lend, which makes for a more profitable and resilient Shop Direct." said Shop Direct's chief executive Alex Baldock.
As well as growing it's mobile commerce operations, Shop Direct is looking to make itself as efficient as possible. In the past year it has focused entirely on digital platforms, scrapping the Littlewoods catalogue, ending an 80-year-old tradition for selling goods by mail order.
"We passed some important milestones last year. We called time on the catalogue, and we are now a pureplay retailer dedicated to digital. We've transformed quickly to this more focused business — only three years ago, nearly three-quarters of our sales were from catalogue customers." said Baldock.
The firm has seen a sharp drop off in catalogue sales recently — only three years ago 72% of sales came from the once famous Littlewoods catalogue. Now that the Littlewood's catalogue — Shop Direct's last remaining catalogue — has gone, Shop Direct is an entirely online business.
Along with abolishing the catalogues, Shop Direct has shut down Isme, K&Co and the once hugely successful Woolworths, as part of it's efforts to make the company more efficient and profitable.
Results were also helped by the launch of VeryExclusive.co.uk in February. The site stocks luxury brands like Marc Jacobs and Vivienne Westwood, and says it aims to 'democratise luxury fashion'.

Cisco today confirmed it will lay off about 7% of its workforce – about 5,500 jobs.
During its earnings announcement the company said total revenue was $48.7 billion, an increase of 3% over last year. Still the company faces challenges in its core switching and routing business.
"Product revenue growth was led by Security at 16%. Collaboration, Wireless and switching product revenue increased by 6%, 5%, and 2%, respectively. Service Provider Video, NGN Routing and Data Center product revenue decreased by 12%, 6%, and 1%, respectively," Cisco stated.
Sounding more optimistic CEO Chuck Robbins said:
"We had another strong quarter, wrapping up a great year. I am particularly pleased with our performance in priority areas including security, data center switching, collaboration, services as well as our overall performance, with revenues up 2% in Q4 excluding the SP Video CPE business," said Chuck Robbins, CEO of Cisco. "We continue to execute well in a challenging macro environment. Despite slowing in our Service Provider business and Emerging Markets after three consecutive quarters of growth, the balance of the business was healthy with 5% order growth. This growth and balance demonstrates the strength of our diverse portfolio. Our product deferred revenue from software and subscriptions grew 33% showing the continued momentum of our business model transformation."
Reports earlier this week had the networking giant cutting as much as 14,000 jobs. Others have speculated Cisco would make a sizable cut in its workforce this year giving its growing stable of acquisitions and its shifting software emphasis. Cisco has acquired 15 companies under CEO Chuck Robbins tenure, which is now early into its second year.
Most recently the company bought cloud security firm CloudLock; other cloud-based technology from Synata; network semiconductor technology from Leaba and Software as a Service (SaaS) provider Jasper.
In recent history– the year end earnings report which is expected today -- hasn't been kind to Cisco employees. The company has laid off a little over 11,000 employees total in late summer reductions since 2012.

The third, and final, risk is inflation. We view inflation as less important to companies because it does not have a direct impact on demand (except when extreme). But it makes pricing difficult and changes consumer behavior. Germany has the best performance, Turkey the worst.
Measuring inflationary risk (as opposed to measuring inflation) is difficult. Three problems arise:
Our measure is the probability of having more than 5% inflation in any given year (1970-2013), weighted towards recent years.* 5% is a common cut-off in the economic literature, and it downplays hyperinflation which is not a recurring phenomenon in any country.
Below are the low inflation-risk countries based on this index. Not surprisingly, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, and the United States are among the best performers. Other EU countries are not far behind. Small countries with currencies pegged to large stable currencies also do well.
The high inflation-risk countries have some surprises. Brazil is an abysmal sixth to last, South Africa fourth, and Turkey last. Brazil exceeded 5% inflation in 42 of the past 43 years.
One reason that some countries systematically pursue inflationary policies is that it serves as a tax. Governments with poor tax collection capabilities print money to pay for public services. This in turn leads to inflation–a deliberate choice.
The full list of countries is shown below. The global median is 58%.
Go to the first installment in this series: Economic Risk
Go to the second installment in this series: Currency Risk
Go to the fourth installment in this series: Total Risk
* We use absolute inflation rather than the variability (standard deviation) of inflation. That is, the risk is inflation itself rather than changes in inflation. This differs from our GDP and currency measures of risk.
I.e., if 12 of 43 years have inflation >5%, then the probability is 12/43=28% (but with a weight to later years). The 5% cut-off corresponds to much of the literature.
