By Jane Harman, President, Director, and CEO, Wilson Center; and John Engler, President, Business Roundtable
Corruption comes in many forms — bribery, theft, bureaucratic arbitrariness — which inevitably affect all layers of society. "Grand corruption," and ways to confront it, was the subject of Judge Mark Wolf's February 3, 2016, lecture kicking off the Wilson Center's Rule of Law Initiative, which highlights legal developments inside individual countries and other major international law issues. Judge Wolf's lecture was followed by a lively and informative discussion in which Governor John Engler from the Business Roundtable was a key participant.
The Wilson Center and the Business Roundtable share a common interest in highlighting the problem of corruption. The fight against corruption equally engages the public and private sectors. It knows no borders. It further adds cost to doing business while undermining U.S. and global competitiveness. Therefore, this collection of essays provides a series of snapshots of how specific countries, international institutions, business, environmental NGOs, and women's groups are confronting (or not confronting, as the case may be) corruption. This succinct, up-to-date assessment underscores the stakes involved, and what might be done, to overcome such deep-rooted and entrenched corrupt practices.
National Will, International Support, and the Fight against Corruption
By Meg Lundsager
A shared national will to confront corruption is necessary for countries to succeed while international institutions can provide support and advice to increase likelihood of success.

By Elizabeth M. Ramey

A New Opportunity for Corruption: Resources Responding to Climate Change
Corruption, Climate Change, and Vulnerability in Small Island States
By Roger-Mark De Souza

Women and Corruption: Perceptions Aside
By Gwen K. Young and Kendra Heideman

In the Hunt for "Level Playing Field," Anticorruption Efforts Play a Major Role
By John Engler

Jennifer and Eric
Jennifer and Eric are getting married next July. I shot some engagements for them earlier today at UC. I hadn't gone to the field before so that was a fun experience. We made some neat shots around campus that show of the couple's Bearcat Pride! I look forward to shooting their wedding next summer.

Mary and Jason
Mary and Jason got married on the 25th at St. Louis Church in Cincinnati. The reception was held at the Westin overlooking Fountain Square. Mary's parents surprised the couple with a horse drawn carriage to transport the newly wed couple. After the ceremony we went to P&G Pavilion for a few pictures. The flowers by Sprouts were a gorgeous pink that beautifully accented Mary's dress. Here are a few pictures from their day. To see more pics from this wedding you can go to www.photosmith1.com.

There's one place that has undergone quite the transformation and if you haven't seen it - you need to.
I used to refer to AmerAsia on Madison in Covington as "Stinky Chinese" - we went there not for the ambiance (or the smell) but for the cheap tasty Chinese food!
Now it's undergone a menu change and a complete interior redesign! There are funky tables, posters everywhere, hanging lights - it's actually hip. WTF?! I kind of miss my stinky chinese - but they did keep one thing - good cheap-ass food!
Their lunch specials which come with rice are $5.50! You can add soup/egg roll or sub lo-mein. But seriously - you aren't going to find a better lunch for less than $6!
The one thing I miss is the bowl of krispies on the table - I was so looking forward to them when we went but there were none to be had. :-(
Why Should You Go? If you work in NKY or downtown - this is a must-do for lunch. I'm not sure how far I'd travel - but I really enjoy it and will definitely be back.

Goji juice is proving to be a big player in the world of potent antioxidants. With all of the scores of top-level products consistently used by Dr. Cohen in his offline practice,
In this decade, GoChi goji juice, also called go-chi juice, is the current leader.
Not all goji juices are the same, although any clean, raw goji juice is good.
With respect to O.R.A.C. and other values, goji juice is at the top rank.
When we speak of "food chains," it's hard not to include goji juice.
Partly because of their proprietary preparation process, FreeLife is champion.
Natural, carefully handled, well-marketed, FreeLife seems to have gotten it right.
A company confident enough to fund double-blind placebo studies is a confident company.
With respect to FreeLife, that confidence pays off handsomely, with mountains of testimonials.
the one and only product ever endorsed online by the world's greatest naturopath is GoChi goji juice.
Money tends to undermine credibility, so, thousands of sales per day are happily repudiated.
The wallop packed by GoChi goji requires no words once you taste and swallow this rare treat.
Among the most delicious liquids that will ever touch your tongue, the effects tend to be fast.
You only need to try GoChi goji juice one time. Drink just a capful or two per day, even four.
Before the bottle is empty, you can fairly expect to experience a RANGE of significant benefits.
With all of the scores of top-level products consistently used by Dr. Cohen in his offline practice,
The Greatest Doctor Method teaches that you need not take anyone's word for anything.
The Route Of Great Mastery proves that you need not take anyone else's word for anything.
Try GoChi goji juice one time. The bottle should last you one to three weeks. See for yourself.
Dr. Cohen demonstrates belief in the value of GoChi Goji juice.
First, David Cohen drinks GoChi GoJo juice every day of his life.
The Greatest Doctor Method demands following your own advice.
Secondg, he has chosen to become a distributor of GoChi Goji juice.
Third, he promotes his GoChi Goji juice website at DrCohen.freelife.com.
Then, he promotes a GoChi Goji juice website at DoctorCohen.freelife.com.
Fifth, he is hosting additional GoChi Goji juice websites, to promulgate GoJi.
The basis of the Greatest Doctor Method GoChi Goji Juice websites are thus:
www.GO-CHI.WS, www.GOCHI-GOJI.INFO,
www.GOCHI-GOJI.US, www.GOJI-JUICE.INFO.
Hopefully and expectedly, additional goji sites will grow via subdomains.
At the bottom of every page of life is the reminder for us to take care.
So, at the bottom of each GoChi Goji juice page is a warm reminder.
This juice has proven to be of great value to our healthy lives.
You are warmly urged to try one bottle of GoChi Goji juice.
Just one bottle of this juice should be enough for you.
Before that bottle is finished, you might be hooked.
Our best obsessions tend to be the healthy ones.
GoChi Goji juice is quite deliciously beneficial.
The more you intentionally embrace the Route Of Great Mastery and Greatest Doctor Method ,
the more you are embraced by The Route Of Great Mastery and Greatest Doctor Method .
Excellence cannot happen by accident. Oil is a great example of intentional excellence.
You may know that fried oil, hydrogenated oil, in fact, many oils are bad for your body.
They oxidize (rust) whatever tissue and tissue containers they come in contact with.
So, if you ARE eating something with rancid oils, including all roasted nuts,
because anything and everything that is heated that highly has rancid oil,
effect a profound difference by drinking a spoon or two of a good oil.
Organic olive oil (extra virgin only), good coconut or krill or fish oil,
is a magical master secret of the universe regarding Longevity.
More hundreds of thousands of patients taking good oils,
in hundreds of studies from hundreds of institutions,
universal in finding many brain and body benefits,
cannot reasonably be wrong in fact or finding.
Add oil to your diet and you also clean out.
Add oil to your diet for many benefits.
If it's good fish oil, your brain wins.
Your body cleans out and thrives.
Just a couple of spoons per day!
Shhh. Fewer opinions, please,
more of big, proven actions.

Unfortunately, search.certified-toolbar.com hijacker stops my malwarebytes full scan as well as Microsoft Security Essentials full scans as well. Both will perform a quick scan completely, but show no infections. Read that this malware can mutate and is hard to remove. I first noticed it in Task Manager with "Glary" in the file/path after name of toolbar (Im kind of a newbie and dont really know all of the technical/proper computer lingo, so…Im going to try and do it manually from registry and files and am using an older desktop with this message. This hijacker is not on this computer in use now, but on a new laptop w/Win7 64bit. If deleting registry/and/or files works, I believe I will still contact a computer tech repair to get rid of this monster. Unless some software can come up with a good, clean fix, Ive no choice. Regards and thanks for info. Wonder if downloading Glary file opener or Glary Utilities downloaded this thing as the path/file name located to the right of the entry in Task Manager did state "glary," perhaps I will contact Glarysoft and see if that did, indeed, happen and if they have any recourse for removing this beast. Oh, did delete process in Task Manager, but still experience re-directs in browser (IE9) to the website, but I believe Ive gotten out of the redirect as soon as I see it has changed.
Again, thanks for info and if I get any truly good info on how to remove once and for all, I will contact via this site. Good luck to all, in the meantime!

Windows 7. I uninstalled it and removed it from my browsers. Unfortunately this had no effect. My infestation was so bad that the complete Office suite was infected. I open Outlook and is greeted with Certified-Toolbar Search. I open Excel and the same thin happens. I tried deleting it in the Registry with no luck. I would reboot and it is still there. Do another search of the Registry and there is nothing. But still it is everywhere in the browsers and Office.
As a last resort I rolled back Windows to the day I knew I got infected. Voila, its gone. If you get infected, spare yourself the trouble and just roll back
January 21st, 2013 at 8:02 pm
I tried to roll it back, but it said it couldnt do it because some files were still in use, even tried spybot in safe mode, still there.
May 12th, 2013 at 6:29 pm
Spent 2 months trying to get rid of this (couldnt roll-back because of some necessary security files added later). Gave up. Last week, however, got infected by some other browser-hijacker. 2 hours of cleaning out Control Panel, browsers, registry files. Final result: not only removed the new hijacker, but that hijacker had managed to kick out Search.Certified-Toolbar. Admittedly, not the best solution to this problem, but thought it might help to know that curing the re-infection appears to cure the original disease.

How much information do you need from the good people, for gods sake. CertifiedTToolbar, by its own accounts, is based in Ben Gurion Rd. somewhere in Israel. The interpretation you give of the identity of this extremedly hostle malware is pure disinformation. This toolbar/ hijacker does not log into the Windows reference pages, cannot be searched for, located, or removed, regardless of what you say. It even destroys my ability to print news, albeit political, articles. Please, please, no more baby talk.

I tried SpyHunter and MalwareBytes Anti-malware. but both failed. At best, they crippled the bastard virus a bit and it became not that annoying, but knowing that he was still there was unsettling. The directions to MANUALLY kill it that are available in some forum on the web would be the best, but they are really difficult to follow, since they are intended for specialists and many step are missing. I sorted it out by entrusting the specialized company, http://www.yYoocare.com, to do the job and at a cost of about 70 USD they took over my PC and got rid of this virus in 20 minutes. I suggest it to everyone who is not an expert. At the moment no antivirus software can kill it. I am a private and I have nothing to do with Yoocare.com, I support them because they sorted me out fast and professionally.

tried everything, Malware bytes, superantispyware and paid for SpyHunter.
Spyhunter finds and says it removes, but it always is there when I reload firefox.
Note: it is not showing as an add on. or as a program to remove.

|Rabbit Anti-APP (Phospho-Tyr757) pAb;
|Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a type I integral membrane protein with a large N-terminal extracellular domain, a single transmembrane domain, and a short cytoplasmic tail. APP is found as three main isoforms, APP695, APP751, and APP770. APP can be sequentially cleaved by beta-secretase and gamma-secretase to release beta-amyloid, which is the main component of senile plaque in patient brains inflicted with Alzheimer's disease.
Phosphorylation of APP at Tyr757 and 762 is important for MAPK8IP1, APBA1, shcA/shcC, and DAB1 binding. Binding interactions regulated by phosphorylation determine the localization and the function of APP. For these reasons, Anti-APP (Phospho-Tyr757) antibody can be useful in the tracing of the processing, distribution and interactions of APP.
GenScript Rabbit Anti-APP (Phospho-Tyr757) Polyclonal Antibody is developed in rabbit using a synthetic phosphopeptide derived from human APP around the phosphorylation site of tyrosine 757 (N-G-YP-E-N), KLH-coupled.
|Host Species
|Antigen Species
|Synthetic phosphopeptide derived from human APP around the phosphorylation site of tyrosine 757 (N-G-YP-E-N), KLH-coupled
|The antibody is purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide and cross-adsorbed with the corresponding non-phosphopeptide.
|Rabbit IgG
|0.5 mg/ml in PBS, pH 7.4, containing 30% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
|GenScript Rabbit Anti-APP (Phospho-Tyr757) Polyclonal Antibody can specifically detect human APP (Phospho-Tyr757) only when phosphorylated at threonine 757.
|Species Reactivity
|The antibody is stable for 2-3 weeks if stored at 2-8°C. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
|Small volume of antibody will occasionally become entrapped in the cap of the vial during shipment and storage. Before use, centrifuge the vial briefly to bring down any liquid in the cap.
|Working concentrations for specific applications should be determined by the investigator. The appropriate concentrations may be affected by secondary antibody affinity, antigen concentration, the sensitivity of the method of detection, temperature, the length of the incubations, and other factors. The suitability of this antibody for applications other than those listed below has not been determined. The following concentration ranges are recommended starting points for this product.
ELISA: 0.05-0.2 µg/ml
Western blot: 0.5-2 µg/ml
Other applications: user-optimized

Netflix is great!
Who would of guessed at the beginning of 2010 that in a mere 5 years time we could find our favourite TV shows on our 3 lb laptops?!
Not me!
With the evenings seemingly dragging it's not wonder everyone seems to be heading straight to Netflix to catch up on the latest season of their favourite show.
So spend tonight in your comfiest pjs, with a warm cuppa and a couple of these shows:
Pretty Little Liars
Rosewood's prettiest girls have finally joined the gang and Netflix are actually uploading the latest episodes every Thursday. I'd recommend starting from season 1 and going all the way through the 5 seasons just so then you have all the latest on A and know who is dead and who isn't.
Dance Academy
This show never fails to bring out my love for dance and make me want to do more. A story about -who would have guessed it- about dancers at a -wait for it- academy, giving us who have no rhythm a taste of what it would be like to make it big as a ballet dancer. Plus, it's set in Sydney so they all have as amazing accent.
Stuck In Love
Film time now and I watched this one for the first time only recently. If you had read my five quotes blog post then you'd know I think of myself as a hopeless romantic with books. This film combines love and a family of authors – literally my dream film.
Have you seen anything good recently?


text:
yay, more of this stuff. I think. Hopefully it won't break kinja.
Welp, I made another thing finally, now with more Lancia and Stratos, which makes everything better. I'm trying to do cheaper stuff, and do more shirts, but it's hard to make anything that isn't really basic and boring and done 3,238,043 times before.
But here's the latest, Stratospheric, as a 12x36 panoramic design for $50. Tried doing the HF livery, but the design kept looking off perspective and didn't want to put up something that looked bad.
So, any critiques, suggestions, anything?
Also working on a Delta design for a shirt, a Nissan R92C thing, a Mercedes Vision GT design, as well as a JGTC version of the Color Map: Rally thing.
Thanks oppo!

Korpo/Vally In, Fritsche Out, Prucha Sits Again
As per Sam Weinman, the revolving door that is the Rangers lineup is getting tweaked again. The Korpedo is back in tonight in lieu of Dan Fritsche, who was invisible last game. Valliquette is also in tonight, with Hank expected to get the start tomorrow at The Igloo.
As for Prucha, he's sitting again. I guess Voros' presence in front of the net is worth 3 minor penalties a game. I don't know how Prucha can keep his positive attitude while getting benched for no apparent reason. More power to him.
So tonight the Rangers again will have two forwards sitting in the press box, and the same six defensemen playing. Seriously, just waive Fritsche. What does he bring to this lineup?
Update 3:00pm: I guess the Rangers management reads this blog. Fritsche has indeed been waived (Note, this is in French):
Fritsche au ballottage
Les Rangers de New York ont placé le nom de Dan Fritsche au ballottage mardi.
New York Rangers have placed? the name of Dan Fritsche to the ballot Tuesday. (Translation coming via Google Translate). Obviously "to the ballot" means "waived". That should free up some cap room.

Esg: Police Tactical Workstation For The Croatian Police
ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH
The Croatian interior ministry has awarded ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH with the Europe wide contract for the modernisation of their EC-135 fleet. The procurement of helicopters operating from the airfield Lučko near Zagreb in 2013 lacked the "typical" police equipment, which is why their range of operations is currently limited to training and transport flights. However, from 2016, the helicopters will also be used for daytime and night-time surveillance tasks.
ESG Modernisation Contract
A main element of the new mission system is the mission workstation for an additional operator based on the PTANG. The 3rd generation of ESG´s operator console has full HD monitors, an adjustable screen mounting frame , and it can be adjusted for a wide range of ergonomic needs during flight. Central connector boxes and quick fasteners ensure quick set-up times. A further element of the mission system is an electro-optical system (EOS) with daylight, MWIR, low light and SWIR sensors, as well as a laser measurement device and laser illuminator. For this, the new "StarSAFIRE380HDc" from the manufacturer FLIR Systems was specified by the customer. As a supplement to the EOS, the customer also required a high-power searchlight with multiple colour filters. The "A800" searchlight from the manufacturer TRAKKA will therefore be put into operation.

Better said the SHADOW or Secret U.S. government, the criminal, illegally controlled U.S. government, run by the illegal CIA on behalf the illegal globalist banking cartel, on behalf of Satan himself, seriously...We're not in Kansas anymore, not in Candy Land...but probably now in the prophecy of the book of Revelations.
Your smart, where were you when these telling documents foretelling blue print, the truth of 9/11 were released in March 2001 ? Shakespear said all the world is a stage(d)
The plan was drafted by the Dept. of War (sorry, they changed that to Dept. of DEFENSE as a psyop in 1947) the DoD, and allegedly by the Joint Chiefs of Staff itself (CIA?), signed by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer and sent to the Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, on March 13, 1962 who approved it and sent it on but then it rejected by President John F. Kennedy...JFK rejected the immoral, illegal, un-American, the state sponsored terrorism, the U.S. terror attacks, the murder, the crimes against humanity, deceiving elements of the military, congress and the citizens, the destruction of U.S. private and foreign owned property, the lies...the rejection of Operation Northwoods was another nail in JFK's coffin, killed some 18 months later, by the CIA on behalf of the globalists, criminal private central bank cartels, for not going along the CIA run shadow U.S. government and actually thinking he runs the nation.
The previously top secret document was originally made public November 18, 1997, by the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board, a U.S. federal agency overseeing the release of government records related to John F. Kennedy's assassination. This was likely a miss, not supposed to be released.
You will see that what JFK rejected (l,./), others (loyal globalists members - CFR, Trilaterial Commission - globalist appointees presidents, vice presidents, executive branch) readily accepted, it is a blue print for the truth about 9/11.

The Big 3 credit ratings agencies have been taking heat from all sides since the financial crisis.
Now James Vickery, senior economist at the New York Fed, has written about how the Dodd-Frank Act could transform their models.
Here's his summary of the changes included in the legislation:
- New authority for the SEC to suspend or revoke a rating agency's registration if warranted, or to penalize individual agency employees for misconduct
- Public disclosure of the assumptions and data used to arrive at each rating, and submission of an annual report on internal controls by each agency
- Rules to strengthen corporate governance and board independence
- Implementing "look-backs," or automatic reviews of when former agency employees join firms whose ratings they may have influenced
- The creation of an Office of Credit Ratings within the SEC to administer regulations and conduct annual examinations
The government also plans to abandon any reference to an instrument's or institution's rating when evaluating them. Regulators will instead have to find an alternative "appropriate standard of creditworthiness."
What might they use instead?
Vickery says more vanilla granular measures of risk, quantitative regulatory models or firms' internal models might be suitable.
As an example, to comply with new Basel III requirements without relying on ratings, regulators have proposed a formula that depends on the seniority of the bond and the capital requirement that would apply to the assets underlying the securitization.
Dodd-Frank also stipulates an alternative to the "issuer-pays" model, responsible for the toxic conflict of interest in the runup to the crash, be found. The early money is on a "platform-pays" model, where an industry utility or self-regulatory board would be charged with collecting fees.
Of course, the legislation has been catching as much flak as the agencies themselves, so much could still change.

Kamran Asghar
CEO, Crossmedia
From Marc Pritchard's recent fiery speech at the IAB denouncing digital media dishonesty to Havas' decision to freeze spending on YouTube and Google in the UK, transparency is one of the most pressing issues in digital marketing today. Kamran Asghar, the co-founder of Crossmedia, is particularly well positioned for increased industry interest.
The 17-year-old independent media company claims that it enforces the strictest self-imposed transparency standard in the world. The only source of income is remuneration from clients, not the media, and that all discounts, rebates and volume incentives are 100 percent paid out to clients according to their contribution. The agency's mantra: "You only pay us once!"
The transparency pitch seems to be working. Crossmedia won AOR media assignments for US Bank and The Hartford in part because of that promise. The agency experienced double-digit growth in 2016 and added 20 key client wins plus seven project assignments, totaling approximately $154 million in new billings. The additional assignments brought the agency's billings to $350 million last year, up 40 percent from 2015.
Asghar, a former planning director at Ogilvy & Mather, launched Crossmedia with Martin Albrecht in 2000. The company was launched on the belief that media is creative and designed to master the fast-growing digital marketplace. Its integrated service combines strategic capabilities with analytics services and transparent buying practices, and caters to brands looking for an alternative media partner.
Amid the big data craze, Kamran introduced RedBox, a data analytics platform, in 2013. The data practice has attracted clients looking to monitor everything from brand health to consumer sentiment. In 2016, Asghar also launched Crossmedia's own programmatic buying desk out of the New York and Philadelphia offices, which the agency claims is a first for an independent media agency of its size.

New Arkansas Music Pavilion noise concerns addressed
Facility could be cited for noise complaints
People who live in residential neighborhoods near the Arkansas Music Pavilion shouldn't have very many noise issues once it is complete, Rogers city leaders said.
City planner Derrel Smith said the facility's design directs speakers toward Interstate 540 and away from neighborhoods.
Every time the pavilion has a major concert, organizers have to get an event permit so they can use their amplifiers.
Smith said organizers completed a sound study on the venue to help determine how loud it should be, but admitted there could be some minor problems in the beginning.
"It's going to be a learning curve. I think ... the people who work the soundboard who do the mixing, they'll have to learn what's too much, what's not enough," said Smith.
Smith told 40/29 News that the facility still has to follow the noise ordinance.
If someone can hear the concert noise blasting from inside their home, the pavilion could be cited.

For thirty three years, the Newton Stuart Round Table's Santa sleigh has been a big part of their local community at Christmas time.
Every December, the group takes Santa and his sleigh through every town and village in their local area and have raised around £100,000 in that time, money that has been pumped straight back into the local community.
Now the members of the Newton Stuart Table are appealing for donations to help fund the rebuilding of the sleigh, after it was critically damaged last year.
So far the group's fund raising efforts have seen the purchase of a new trailer and they have had a sleigh built, thanks to a number of local tradesmen giving up their free time to help.
However there are still several important purchases needed including electronics, lights, reindeer and a new generator, which is why the table members are appealing for your support.
You can donate through the Just Giving page
There is no Christmas without Santa, so if you can, please help your fellow members continue the wonderful work they do in their area.

I've been reading Amazing Spider-Man since I was 12 so its good to see it back again this month. My dream is to one day do a Spider-Man comic, nothing epic or groundbreaking, just a funny, action packed story that captures everything I love about the character. Also probably a load of ninjas.

Configuring your first SAN: Ten advantages
If you configure your SAN properly, you'll gain advantages in terms of rebooting a failed server, automating all your backups, getting faster restores, more efficient storage utilization and more.
- If a server fails, you simply roll in a new server, move the HBAs over from the failed server and reboot. You're back up in minutes!
- You can automate all your backups to the shared library using FULL every night. This allows faster restores and since backup is over the SAN, it happens at 200 MB per second over the fabric. Your bottleneck will be your tape drives, not the network.
- You can now utilize all the storage you've purchased and provision it better for the servers that need it. This will lengthen the time between storage purchases, and give you that 60% of wasted storage back!
- No more server downtime to add disks.
- You now have two paths to storage, making your applications more reliable.
- Your applications will run faster over the SAN, since you have 400 MB per second access to data.
- You can spread your I/O load across multiple RAID5 LUNs in the storage array, which will let you handle multiple drive failures.
- Most SAN arrays have automatic sparing, so if a drive does fail, your servers never notice and the applications stay up.
- You can take advantage of storage array-based data replication for disaster recovery.
- Since your disks are now shared, you can implement host-based clustering to increase your application uptime and reduce operational headaches on hardware or application failure.

The following A5 booklets in the series
"About Comrie"
were written a few years ago by
C. Gordon Booth, FSA Scot.
of Comrie [my late father-in-law], but I am afraid that they are now out of print
although copies can be seen in Perth Library archives, and copies may still be available in Comrie Public Library.
About Comrie No.1 - Glen Artney
, published June 1997, 44 pages.
This booklet tells the story of the glen to the south west of Comrie, with chapters on Auchnashelloch, sheep fanks, and mills, with a useful list of further reading (but all out of print, hence the value of these booklets).
About Comrie No.2 - An Intimate History: School Log Books 1865-1908
, published 1997, 42 pages.
The main part of this booklet details the fascinating entries in the school log books for Comrie Industrial School 1865-1873, Comrie West Public School 1873-1880, Comrie Public School 1873-1880, and Comrie West Public School Evening Continuation Classes 1887-1901. There are also short chapters on Health and Population.
About Comrie No.3 - Village Life
, published 1998, 40 pages.
This booklet is a must for anyone with the name of Comrie from these parts. This booklet paints a historical picture of village life in terms of Comrie ancestors, i.e. from the time of Grandfather Comrie (1891-1910) through each generation to the time of Great Great Great Great Grandfather Comrie (1761-1790). There are also chapters on Samuel Gilfillan, Manses, Earthquakes, and the Fundlater Sisters.
About Comrie No.4 - A Different Approach
, published June 1998.
This booklet takes the reader on walks about the village with eyes open to take note of all sorts of different things, e.g. drinking water wells, ancient earth mounds, salmon spawning, Comrie Highland Games, the Flambeaux Procession, cheese presses, the White Church graveyard, the old railway, post boxes, stone circles and standing stones, litter, and corn-drying kilns.
About Comrie No.5 - Trade & Commerce
, published September 2000, 44 pages.
This booklet has chapters giving snippets of information about, (i) the household goods, hardware, and clothing shop of Brough & Macpherson in Comrie during the period 1902 - 1960, (ii) the plumbing business of Joseph Dick in Comrie during the first half of the 20th century, (iii) the subscribers (shareholders) who established the Comrie Gaslight Company in 1851, and (iv) goats and the drinking of goats' milk in the locality of Comrie.
About Comrie No.6 - Brothers of the Broom: History of Comrie Curling Club
, published February 1999.
This details the local history of the sport of curling with stones on natural ice, then at indoor rinks from the 1930s. Details are given from the Minute Books of local clubs starting with the Monievaird & Strowan Curling Club in 1850 and the Lawers & Comrie Curling Club in 1853 which amalgamated in 1962, with the name being changed to the Comrie Curling Club in 1976.
About Comrie No.7 - White Church
, published July 1999.
This is the story of the old Comrie Parish Church, the White Church, which was built in 1805, evidently on the site of an older church with the earliest legible gravestone being dated 1682. This fine building is the central landmark of Comrie village on the banks of the river Earn as shown in the line drawing at the top of this page. Go to the link below to see details of the refurbishment project to transform this old church into a Community Centre.

2016 has been a year of disappointing news for many reasons and you can add carbon emissions to that list. Scientists say this year was the worst for carbon emissions in 66 million years. Solving this extreme problem is now a priority for many world leaders.
A carbon tax is one of many ideas that has been proposed and is backed by environmentalists and even some conservatives. What is a carbon tax and how could it help us curb our severe pollution?

Take Me to the River
Presented by Helen Ottaway.
Music from all styles and period from local composer Helen Ottaway, linked by the theme of the river and its water, flowing from source to sea.
As a composer, Helen has worked with John Cage and appeared in Peter Greenaway's film about him for Channel 4. As pianist and keyboard player she was a founder member of the new music group Regular Music with whom she has toured and recorded extensively in the UK and abroad.
Helen's many commissions include BBC2 (title and incidental music for the documentary 'The River', 1999); Bath Film Festival (Rain / String Quartet No. 2 to accompany the silent film 'Regen', 2003) and Frome Festival (harpsichord works for 2005 and 2006). In March 2007 she led a major educational project in Frome (It's a String Thing!) working with 150 local young string players.
After a sabbatical, Helen is now back on FromeFM with more watery music.

After teasing its mysterious 4:44 project over the past week via online and IRL ads, Tidal is finally ready to spill the beans on what those pesky repeated numbers a mean. And, surprise! It's not a new Jay Z album.
The streaming service has revealed that 4:44 is not a musical endeavor, but rather is a short, NC-17 film starring the major A-list talents of Mahershala Ali, Lupita Nyong'o, and Danny Glover. There's not much to unpack from the brooding black-and-white teaser Tidal unveiled on Wednesday night—will it be four minutes and forty-four seconds?—but we do know that it includes an extended sequence of a shirtless Ali exercising and boxing with a punching bag. Tidal also teamed up with Sprint to create the film, because, you know, telecommunication collaborations are all the rage now. (Sprint also owns a hearty stake in the company, so it's not that surprising.) With this partnership, the film will exclusively air on sprint.tidal.com, as opposed to the normal Tidal website.
After the commercial announcing the film aired during the NBA Finals, Marcelo Claure, the president and CEO of Sprint, took to Twitter to share the snippet and say "more news" about 4:44 would be known today. Jay Z, meanwhile, has been playing coy.
Ali and Nyong'o are experiencing massive highs in their respective careers at the moment. Nyong'o is set to star in a film alongside Rihanna that was inspired by a viral Twitter meme—yes, really—as well as Marvel's highly anticipated Black Panther, and Ali took home the coveted Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in Moonlight earlier this year.

Neighborhood block parties, the kind filled with various foodstuffs and various beverages and pals meeting up to nosh 'n chat, are a staple of Labor Day Weekend.
Surely one of the most unusual and cinematic block parties around happens not on a traditional neighborhood street but the sort of street seen in the movies. It's The Taste, from the LA Times, and it once again spreads out at the Paramount Pictures backlot.
There are a number of flavorful goings-on from Friday, Sept. 2 through Sunday, Sept. 4, from an opening night soiree to a locally focused Field to Fork happening on Sept. 3.
Local news from across Southern California
Dinner with a Twist includes "the extraordinary culinary creations of the city's best chefs," along with "an unforgettable stroll through a studio backlot," while Flavors of LA, on Sept. 3, celebrates our region's "vibrant collection of eclectic cuisines."
Mr. Jonathan Gold, food critic/LA maven extraordinaire, is at the helm.
And as for the aforementioned, broadly-hinted-at block party? Be at Paramount on Sept. 4, in the middle of the day, for a dazzling array of noshables from some of our area's most masterful cuisine-ists.
Is this like the block party in your cul de sac? Well, the party does take place where the dance sequence from "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" was shot, and the marble rye scene from "Seinfeld," too.
It is, without question, a starry block party for a starry city, with the primo vittles and libations to match its movie-cool setting.

Earning a Behavioral Science Degree
Behavioral science is one of the most fascinating subjects you can earn a degree in. If you are interested in how humans and animals think, feel, and react to situations this could be the perfect degree for you to consider. Earning a behavior science degree is fun, challenging, and can lead to a rewarding career. Keep reading to find out more details on what is all involved in earning a behavioral science degree.
Definition of Behavioral Science
The definition of behavior science that is found most often is: A science that encompasses all the disciplines that explore the activities of and interactions among organisms in the natural world. This intriguing science plays an intimate role with systematical analysis and/or investigation of both human and animal behavior through experimental observations that are controlled, naturalistic, and involve rigorous formulations.
Behavioral Sciences vs. Social Studies
Social studies and behavioral sciences are often confused with each other. They are connected because they study the systematic processes of behavior. Where they are different though is in the level of scientific analysis that is done on the different behavioral dimensions.
Behavioral sciences are tied to careers in psychology, social neuroscience (also known as psychiatry), and genetics. There are other careers but these are the most popular. Social studies have careers that include things like sociology, economics, history, public health, political science, anthropology, and counseling.
How to Go About Earning a Behavioral Science Degree
Behavioral science degrees are in high demand and there are several choices that you can make for earning your degree. It is important to make the right choice for you when it comes to the type of degree you are seeking and how you wish to attend school. With the technology that is available today and the job opportunities for everybody who decides to further their education you can practically customize your plan for earning a behavioral science degree.
- Investigate both traditional school options and online school choices. Each one has certain benefits. More online schools for obtaining your behavior science degree have shown up in recent years due to the demand of people that want that degree but need to earn it from home.
- Decide if you wish to have a two year, four year, or master's degree in behavior science. Many options exist and you need to determine which degree will be the most beneficial for you to achieve your career goals.
- Find out if you qualify for financial aid or grants. There is a possibility that you can pay little or close to zero for your education.
Career Opportunities for Behavioral Science
The program you choose to go with will have the largest bearing on what income level you could enter the behavioral science field with. It is only logical that most of the higher degrees do come with higher pay. That is not always the case though. The best way to get the maximum salary for your new degree is to make sure that you have a solid resume, good interview skills, and excellent communication skills.
Earning a degree in behavior sciences will help you start a rewarding career that is interesting each and every day. The projects and studies you work on will be a constant source of inspiration and excitement. The opportunities for people serious about behavioral science degrees are available and amazing. If you have been looking for a change and want to start the journey towards a rewarding career in behavior science there is nothing holding you back. If you have not committed to the exciting journey of earning your degree it is time to make that commitment today.

MESA, Ariz. – Olympian Olivia Smoliga (Glenview, Ill./Athens Bulldog Swim Club) set an American record in the women's 50-meter backstroke – and earned her third win of the meet – Saturday at the TYR Pro Swim Series at Mesa at Skyline Aquatic Center.
Swimming in the finals of the bracket-style event against runner-up Ali DeLoof (Grosse Pointe, Mich./Club Wolverine), Smoliga touched in 27.43 seconds to top Kathleen Baker's 2017 American mark. She raced the 50m back three times in just over 15 minutes to work her way through the quarterfinal, semifinal and final to pick up the win.
"I'm excited about that. I wanted to go under 28 (seconds) because I was really close this morning, and I'm really happy it worked out that way," said Smoliga, who won all three backstroke events in Mesa. "I feel really great about the 50 back. That just means that my 100 should have been faster."
Fellow Olympic medalist Leah Smith (Pittsburgh, Pa./Tucson Ford Dealers Aquatics) added her third and fourth wins in Mesa on Saturday in the women's 400m free in 4:07.25, the seventh-best time in the world in 2018, and the 200m mystery individual medley in 2:18.19. She also topped the field in the women's 200m and 800m free earlier in the meet.
"I'm really happy with my 400 [free], I felt that was my best," Smith said. "I felt l like I got into a groove as the meet went on and for April I think I was faster than I was last year in my 400, so that's pretty good for me."
Olympic champion Nathan Adrian (Bremerton, Wash./California Aquatics) and National Teamer Mallory Comerford (Kalamazoo, Mich./University of Louisville) won the bracket-style 50m free titles after taking the 100m free victories on Friday. Comerford went 25.10 in the final, while Adrian was victorious in 22.94.
Other winners in the bracket-style 50-meter races included Matt Grevers (Lake Forest, Ill./Tucson Ford Dealers Aquatics) in the men's 50m back in 25.42, Kelsi Dahlia (Westampton, N.J./Cardinal Aquatics) in the women's 50m fly in a TYR Pro Swim Series record 25.74, Molly Hannis (Santa Rosa, Calif./Tennessee Aquatics) in the women's 50m breast in 29.97, Michael Andrew (Lawrence, Kan./Race Pace Club) in the men's 50m fly in 23.38 and Nic Fink (Morristown, N.J./Athens Bulldog Swim Club) in the men's 50m breast in 27.69.
Gianluca Urlando (Sacramento, Calif./DART Racing) won the men's 200m mystery individual medley in 2:06.09, and Egypt's Marwan El Kamash earned his second win in Mesa in the men's 400m free in a time of 3:49.52.The meet concludes Sunday with timed finals for the 1500-meter freestyle at 8 a.m. PDT with a live webcast available at usaswimming.org.

Many of our Escondido readers probably get several credit card statements each month, some with upwards of seven or eight different credit cards. And, anyone with even a halfway decent credit score will likely receive five or six different offers for even more credit cards in the mail every month. Credit cards can be useful financial tools, but they can also lead to some serious financial challenges if they are relied upon too much.
When credit card debt begins to stack up, most people will do their best to work a solution with the goal of getting the debt paid off, even if that means the plan takes years to pan out. But for some, the plan never works out because, as the saying goes, "life happens."
Credit card companies don't really care how or why a person is using their credit cards. They just hope that the balance continues to roll over month after month so that interest can be added to the total balance owed. As many of our readers may know from previous posts here, the interest rates on credit cards can be ridiculously high. Allowing a credit card balance to roll over each month is like taking out a loan with the worst possible interest rate.
At our law firm, we know that not everyone will be able to craft a solution to pay back credit card debt as the balances seem to only go up. In this type of situation, filing for bankruptcy can become an effective solution. Escondido residents who would like to learn more about how our law firm attempts to help clients work through credit card debt with a bankruptcy filing can visit our website.

Recap Series 2013 : The WWDC 2013, iOS7, OSX Mavericks and more
The next big thing was the World Wide Developer Conference 2013, which was a five day conference where developers learn about the future of OSX and iOS initiating a wave of applications based on the new features introduced. It's incredible what you get when you put a lot of smart people in room together for a couple of days.
Apple iOS 7 is unveiled and it was gooood. A good portion of the redesign of the OS was made in an attempt to make the OS feel more alive to the user. Apart from the simple yet elegant color pallet, the translucency and improved motion greatly contributes towards an altogether beautiful user experience.
The iOS 7 features a set of new features which were previously unavailable. Some could be categorized under "catching up with Android" and some of them are quite unique. However, it can be said that the main focus was on the minimalistic design approach, which is bound to affect the developers working on applications for the App Store.
Apple also released a developers preview of the OSX Mavericks, bringing Maps and iBooks to the Mac, enhanced multi-window support and a breakthrough in power efficiency and performance.
Speaking of power efficiency, the Macbook Air with the "All day battery life" is something worthy of attention. The new MacBook Air features power-efficient fourth generation Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors that give the 13-inch MacBook Air up to 12 hours of battery life and the 11-inch MacBook Air delivers up to 9 hours of battery life.

Quantum Builders Brings Passive Houses to California
Posted on 06. Aug, 2010 by Rebecca Firestone.
Imagine a home built in the Plains region of the United States that stays warm in the winter without central heating, and cool in the summer without massive air-conditioning. It's airtight but with an endless supply of fresh air constantly circulating through a filtered, pressure-balanced ventilation system. Every surface is comfortable to the touch, neither too warm nor too cold. Street noise is barely audible through the gasket-sealed, triple-paned windows.
It sounds futuristic, but so-called Passive Houses have been around for at least 15 years, and it's yet another strategy for saving energy. Unlike a Net Zero Energy home that might rely on "active" power generation, albeit from renewable sources, a Passive House is just that – passively absorbing heat from its surroundings to release it slowly as it is needed. (In hot climates, Passive Houses are designed to recover and store cooler temperatures.)

Occupant Thermal Comfort in Energy Trade-Offs
Posted on 16. Mar, 2010 by Rebecca Firestone.
Green living is sometimes viewed as a sacrificial process whereby one by one, all our pleasures and comforts must be set aside in the name of saving the planet: walking instead of driving, sweeping instead of vacuuming, home cooking instead of take-out, turning the thermostat down in the winter while our hands and feet turn into blocks of ice, low-flow showerheads designed by bald men that take forever to rinse the shampoo out of a long-haired-girl's mane, limiting one's diet to only locally available seasonal produce (which could be nothing but cabbages if you live in Chicago), calling three hardware stores to find one that carries low-VOC paint, giving up meat because it takes too much grain to feed a cow, trudging everywhere with a backpack filled with stuff that otherwise we could just keep in the car. In essence, the increased physical hardship comes from asking our own bodies to start doing more of the work. And what's our reward? A nice warm feeling of altruistic glow, and maybe a slimmer figure.
Efficiency is often seen as achievable only at the cost of comfort – some of us East Coasters remember shivering through the 1970s oil crisis as our dads re-defined 58 degrees during the day as "normal" and turned the thermostat down at night till the pipes froze, and our mothers finally complained. Well, so what? What's the big deal? We all have to give up something. Well, the problem is that this "fix" didn't really fix anything. Reducing consumption is not the same thing as having an efficient building, and neither approach presents qualitative factors like comfort or contentment as worthy of consideration.

Honeywell Unveils New Turbo Aftermarket Web Site
September 19, 2014
At the Automechanika Frankfurt, a global trade event for the automotive parts and accessories industry, this week Honeywell introduced its newly enhanced turbocharger aftermarket website. The new site incorporates a number of features that will provide customers greater product information and better access to the full portfolio of Garrett by Honeywell turbochargers.
Beyond a new design and simplified navigation, the site features step-by-step installation guides, engine specific installation videos, and other product information for more than 3,000 turbos used in 6,000 vehicle applications. It supports eight different languages, including added content in Portuguese and Turkish, as well as expanded Russian language materials.
"Our new aftermarket website is our most important tool for supporting our global distribution network including the wholesalers, garages and installation centers that need support," said Clement de Valon, Honeywell Turbo Technologies global sales director for the Independent Aftermarket. "It is the direct feedback we receive from these users that help us prioritize and deliver the world-class service they find most helpful. It is not enough to have a great aftermarket turbo; our goal is to have the best aftermarket turbo experience from pre-sale, to purchase, through installation, and any necessary follow-up once the customer has left the garage."
