Immediate Release
Academic Art Librarian/Assistant Professor at Lincoln University – MO Debuts Blog: Blackness Personified, The Chronicles of an HBCU Librarian
First-year librarian, kYmberly Keeton at Lincoln University – MO has created a new blog to document her experiences as an Academic Art Librarian and Assistant Professor. The blog features her work in information literacy, public art programming, and presentations. As an HBCU Librarian, Keeton states that she wants to highlight the ups and downs in her career and to continue the legacy of several writers at Lincoln University that made a major difference. "I believe that it is imperative to show through writing and visual depictions of what I go through as a librarian with the world. My first blog, Digibooklibrarian was a major success and received national awards while I was in graduate school, and I hope that this new initiative will receive the same amount attention in my profession."
Keeton accepted her new position at Lincoln University in October of 2014, and within that short time she has established the Josephine Silone Yates Literary Author Series, obtained new African American e-books by writers from the Harlem Renaissance for students to download for free, and obtained a one-year film license for students and faculty to view and discuss the film: Through A Lens Darkly. Earlier this month, the librarian presented her research about HBCU Librarians Creating Information Literacy Toolkits: Undergraduate Research at the Empirical Librarians Conference at North Carolina A&T State University. In addition, Keeton teaches two courses including Information Literacy and Collection Development at Lincoln University. The librarian is in the process of creating the first LU Information Literacy Toolkit that will debut online for faculty and students in the fall of 2015.
kYmberly Keeton is the National Secretary of the Black Caucus of the American Library Association, and serves on the Literacy and Outreach Advisory Services Committee for the American Library Association. As a writer, blogger, and professional journalist, her works have been published nationally. In like manner, the librarian is a creative writer-visual artist, avid reader, and advocate for change. In her own words she says with pride, "I'm rebelling against being handed a career, like, "You're the next this; you're the next that." I'm not the next anything, I'm the first me."

The EB-5 Visa Program has just been extended until December 11th 2015.
Yesterday, September 30, 2015, the U.S. Congress approved a short-term law that extends the EB-5 Regional Center Program until December 11, 2015. This is great news for investors currently considering an application.
The effect of this new law is to extend the EB-5 Regional Center visa program without any changes until December 11, 2015. This is a very fortunate development for current EB-5 investors as the minimum investment amount of $500,000 remains the same until December 11, 2015.
This extension provides additional time for Congress to consider a long-term reauthorization of the Eb-5 programme that would include reform measures to strengthen federal oversight and the integrity of the program. After December 11th 2015, The U.S. Congress and the President will again need to pass a new law to continue the Eb-5 Regional Center Program. It is widely expected that the EB-5 Regional Center Program will experience some big but important changes when the new legislation is passed after December 11th.
Lawmakers will likely raise the minimum investment amount for EB-5 investors, and changes could be made to the requirements for new Regional Center investment projects. We will continue to closely monitor Eb-5 legislation activity in order to detect changes in requirements for EB-5 investors.
Since its inception, the EB-5 Regional Center program has enjoyed bipartisan support – for good reason. Since 2008, EB-5 has generated $11.92 billion in foreign direct investment. And, from 2010-2013 alone, the program contributed $9.62 billion to gross domestic product while supporting an average of 30,000 jobs per year. Over 95 percent of all EB-5 investments flow through EB-5 Regional Centers Program.

*muhajiba- a woman who wears hijab, head veil.
Check out this site, it's hijab styles! DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT follow the clothing sense, it's appalling. Just the way the scarf is done looks neat and sleek.
The site is in Arabic but the pictures are self explanatory. For all my girls who wear the hijab, make it look classy and chic! Just coz u wear hijab, dont mean u gotta look nasty! Unfortunately, most ignorant (yes, ignorant) afghans consider the hiijab 'dehati' (village like) and look down at girls who do wear it.
Wear the hijab and walk it with pride!

Eight Tips for Keeping Your Resume Up to Date
Are you anticipating an employment change in the near future or currently seeking a new opportunity? Updating your resume should be completed at least annually even if you have no intention of changing jobs any time soon. In addition, in this day and age, it is critical to transfer any new skills, professional achievements and/or career advancements to your LinkedIn or other professional social media profiles.
Here are eight tips for keeping your resume up to date:
Create a system.
Develop a process for keeping track of major achievements and recognition as they occur. For example, one colleague keeps an "accomplishments" folder in her email. Any time she achieves something she is proud of or receives praise, she drops emails related to this into her "accomplishments". Another colleague keeps a running list in a Microsoft Office One Note notebook of projects she's working on or completed. The trick is to find a system that works for you. Your attention to detail and organization will be the tool that makes updating your resume quick and painless.
Read your calendar and performance reviews.
If you are having trouble remembering your contributions to significant projects, you may be able to refresh your memory by reviewing your work calendar for the past year. Also, look up your performance review which will highlight important projects and your achievements.
Ask a friend or colleague.
In addition to grammatical edits, ask colleagues to review your resume for missing skills and achievements. Sometimes we overlook smaller projects that may have resulted in significant impact.
Remember to delete.
You may want to remove information that is no longer relevant from your resume. For example, deleting references to technology that is no longer in use or jobs held earlier in your career that are no longer relevant make it easier for recruiters to focus on your applicable experience.
Do not always worry about length.
One page resumes are a relic of the past. If you have relevant information that supports your candidacy, share it. In particular, contractors tend to change jobs more frequently while accumulating a variety of important skills and experiences. These are worth taking extra space to highlight. Keep in mind the average resume gets reviewed in 10 seconds, so be selective.
Quantify whenever possible.
Percentages, numbers, statistics – they will all help support your accomplishments and tend to standout when a recruiter or hiring manager is scanning your resume. If you have meaningful data to share, include it.
Be specific.
Too often, people include a project they were a part of but omit the role they personally played. Think about what your individual contributions were and highlight those.
Consider a format change.
Your resume layout should reflect your industry or, if applicable, the one in which you are seeking a new position in. A technology resume, for example, begins with a professional summary but also includes a technical summary that highlights different projects. If you are looking to make a change, search online to find samples of other resumes in the new industry and mirror that standard.
Remember, your resume is a reflection of you and your professional accomplishments. Annual updates will ensure you do not miss or forget about the critical skills and experience you have acquired. If you are interested in an opportunity at Veritude, our Talent Acquisition team can often provide you with additional tips based on the particular role you are interested in. Just ask!

Procedure Details
This patient had implants put in previously by another surgeon and they were either too high or had become encapsulated and her own tissue had fallen over the implants causing a droopy appearance. Her implants and capsule were both removed and she had enough of her own tissue to do a breast lift to achieve a more youthful look. A breast Lift or Mastopexy was done to eliminate the sagging of her own tissue, now that the implants are gone, to give the breasts a more appealing shape and contour. Patient is very happy with her result, photos were taken at 3 months post surgery and she has returned to normal activity level.More

This makeup was pretty basic but it had me feeling like an absolute s n a c k.
That, and freshly dyed hair.
This makeup was pretty basic but it had me feeling like an absolute s n a c k.
That, and freshly dyed hair.
I bought the Kat Von D Rust Shade and Light Quad a while back from Debenhams but I haven't really used it apart from to swatch each shade ready to write a review (which I still haven't written!). This was supposed to be a quick brown smokey eye using the palette but then I dug out my pigment box, added some messy liquid liner and here we are. Whatever makes you feel cute.
I love winged eyeliner – I doubt I'll ever stop wearing it no matter how my style changes or how old I am – but sometimes I just want it to be a little messier and grungy. When I want a less precise wing, I put down the liner and get to work with a stiff angle brush and a black eyeshadow.
To neaten things up and deepen the colour to the lashes spray a little setting spray on to your brush before going back in to the shadow. Pop on your lashes and there you have your kinda messy winged eyeliner.
Unless you want to do some simple winged eyeliner, the tip on the Kat Von D Liquid Ink Liners is awful. It drags, it doesn't let the product out evenly along the brush, I just can't with it. So that's why this looks a bit iffy along the crease. It is definitely not down to the fact that I'm a little out of practice.
Despite that, I really liked how this look turned out. If I was going to do it again I'd use the same liner on a smaller brush and clean up the edges with remover or concealer.
It's not often I buy products because I see then doing the rounds on Instagram. I was pretty resistant to buy anything from Glossier at first because there was so much hype around them – see the ridiculous accounts of people's experiences in the New York store – but I caved when my skin care obsession got the better of me.
Adding yet more steps to my routine, I'd been on the look out for a makeup remover for a while when I found the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser in their Black Friday sale. Free postage and a discount code? Why the fuck not.
If you've got oily skin, you might be reluctant to use oils and super moisturising products, even when it's freezing outside and you can feel the cold biting at your cheeks. It's a habit I'm guilty of, despite telling others to slather on the facial oils to sink in before my foundation.
Even oilier skin needs that extra TLC, and when I do get round to it I can see a difference almost straight away. Here are my current favourite skin care products that keep my skin nourished without making me look like a greaseball.

I came across a few of these facts and found them mighty interesting and powerful:
Recycling aluminum saves 95% energy vs. virgin aluminum. By just recycling one can of aluminum, you can save enough energy to run a TV for 3 hours (Reynolds Metal Co.).
Recycling glass saves 50% energy vs. virgin class. By just recycling one glass container, you can save enough energy to light a 100-watt bulb for 4 hours (Center for Ecological Technology).
Recycling paper saves 60% energy vs. virgin paper and generates 95% less air pollution. Every year enough paper is thrown away to make a 12′ wall from New York to California (Center for Ecological Technology)
Recycling plastic can keep 2 billion tons of plastic out of landfills (Penn State). We use enough plastic wrap to wrap all of Texas every year (EPA).

Contrary to popular belief networking does work. Although most small businesses understand this, a lot including larger organisations see networking as a waste of time. Randomly going around meeting strangers and passing cards around doesn't seem to add value in their eyes.

Unless you see everyone you meet as a potential advocate or customer to your business. The Business Growth Show has created a number of options for you to network and maximise your time out of the office.

Meet the winner
The conservatives, or principlists as they prefer to be called, are far from united behind their leading figure, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has been Iran's president since 2005. Their divisions reflect not only policy differences, but also jockeying by Mr Ahmadinejad's rivals in advance of next year's presidential election. Running on a separate list from the president's supporters, powerful principlists such as Ali Larijani, Iran's former nuclear negotiator, attacked Mr Ahmadinejad for the alleged incompetence of his economic management, which has pushed inflation close to 20%, and for needlessly antagonising foreign powers with inflammatory rhetoric. Aware that enthusiasm for the president has waned, even among the provincial poor who make up his strongest constituency, most conservative candidates tried to distance themselves from Mr Ahmadinejad, instead emphasising their closeness to Ayatollah Khamenei.
Although final results will not be known before run-off votes for some 60 of the 290 seats are held next month or so, it is clear that loyalists to the president will face a harder task in pushing through legislation than in the outgoing parliament. Some analysts say it is likely that the more pragmatic principlists may forge tactical alliances with outright opponents to Mr Ahmadinejad in order to keep him in check, particularly in regard to his populist economic policies.
The core of that opposition is made up of so-called reformists, whose aim is to broaden Iran's heavily constricted democracy, expand the civic freedoms that have been greatly curbed under Mr Ahmadinejad's rule, and present a friendlier face in foreign policy. Despite severe handicaps, including a sweeping ban that disbarred most of their candidates, press crackdowns that muzzled the reformist press, conservative charges of straying from Islam, blunt commands from the supreme leader that Iranians should back conservatives, and the decision by much of their natural constituency to boycott the vote, reformists appear to have succeeded in scoring modest electoral gains, increasing their foothold in parliament from just 40 to probably more than 50 seats.
Even with the possible aid of conservative pragmatists, that is far from enough to alter Iran's course over such controversial issues as its nuclear programme. This, like Iran's sponsorship of armed Shia factions in Iraq, and of Hizbollah, the Lebanese Shia group, is controlled by the supreme leader. In fact, it is Ayatollah Khamenei who appears to be the biggest winner from the election.
The owlish, black-turbaned cleric already controls important institutions such as the state broadcasting monopoly, hugely wealthy religious charities, the Basij, a paramilitary volunteer force with millions of members, and the Republican Guards, the shadowy, disciplined and well-funded elite corps that runs parallel not only to the national army and intelligence services, but dozens of large companies. He also appoints the 12 members of the Guardian Council, the body of clerics that vets both candidates and legislation for adherence to the principles of the Islamic revolution.
With Mr Ahmadinejad set for a testy relationship with the new parliament, Ayatollah Khamenei may find it even easier to bend policy to his will. Yet by patiently accruing power since he replaced the revolution's founder, Ayatollah Khomeini, in 1989, the supreme leader also increasingly risks associating his position with the Islamic republic's failures. As UN-imposed sanctions bite deeper, and even Iran's middle classes struggle to make ends meet, the triumphalism of Iran's conservatives is likely to ring increasingly hollow.

Four months ago, I wrote a piece for the Genetic Literacy Project about why I stopped eating at Chipotle and shopping at Whole Foods. The reason was pretty simple; I strongly objected to their anti-GMO marketeering that misleads consumers and vilifies genetic engineering. I also didn't like their smug air of superiority.
So you can imagine my own smugness this week as both companies struggle with bad publicity. As a devout capitalist who wants businesses to prosper, employees to succeed and investors to profit, I'm trying to be magnanimous about their problems. But I can only come up with three words:
Karma's a bitch.
With another round of food-borne illness traced to Chipotle (the third this year) and poor earnings results from Whole Foods this week, it's hard for me not to gloat. I feel bad for sick people and employees whose jobs are now in jeopardy. Yet I can't help but think their sanctimonious executives and marketing departments are getting exactly what they deserve.
Chipotle: Food poisoning with integrity?
Let's back up a little. Chipotle's motto is Food With Integrity, which allows the company to boast and brag about how great they are. It's worked because the company has become the darling of elite foodies who often cite Chipotle, which is essentially a fast food company, as the anti-McDonald's. In an effort to further boost its elitist food cred, Chipotle unveiled a massive marketing campaign earlier this year entitled G-M-Over It:
Chipotle is on a never-ending journey to source the highest quality ingredients we can find. Over the years, as we have learned more about GMOs, we've decided that using them in our food doesn't align with that vision.
Sadly, the website posts a litany of unscientific and irresponsible talking points straight from the anti-GMO playbook such as GMOs are not proven safe and they damage the environment. It also alludes to organic-industry supported economist Chuck Benbrook and his widely disputed study that GMOs increase the use of highly toxic pesticides (it doesn't). Chipotle's message essentially boils down to anti-GMO propaganda intended to scare consumers into buying more of their high-priced, high-calorie burritos.
But its advertising slogan, if Chipotle truly had integrity, should've been "G-M-Only kinda." Its claim, "when it comes to our food, genetically modified ingredients don't make the cut," was not true. Shortly after the campaign announcement, lots of smart people (i.e., actual scientists) made Chipotle eat some of their non-GMO words. Turns out that items like cheese and the chain's biggest money-maker – soft drinks – are produced using genetically engineered ingredients. The company was forced to backtrack:
The meat and dairy products we buy come from animals that are not genetically modified. But it is important to note that most animal feed in the U.S. is genetically modified, which means that the meat and dairy served at Chipotle are likely to come from animals given at least some GMO feed. Many of the beverages sold in our restaurants contain genetically modified ingredients, including those containing high fructose corn syrup, which is almost always made from GMO corn.
Sooooo….according to Chipotle, it's ok for animals (the same animals that produce the dairy and meat we eventually consume) to eat genetically modified food that are potentially unsafe and pollute the environment but it's not ok for Chipotle's human customers to eat genetically modified food? If you can figure out that way of thinking, you win a burrito bowl.
After Chipotle announced it was ditching GMOs, I decided we would ditch Chipotle. My daughters were not thrilled with the decision, but I wanted to show them that sometimes you have to stand up for principle – and sometimes that principle costs you your weekly barbacoa taco with chips and guacamole.
The G-M-Over It campaign seemed to launch a slippery slope of bad news for Chipotle. Editorial boards across the political spectrum, from the New York Times to my piece in National Review, excoriated the company for its anti-science marketing and fear mongering. A few weeks later, Chipotle managed to insult nearly every American pig farmer by contracting with a British pork supplier and smearing conventional American farming in the process:
In the United States, around 95% of pigs are raised "conventionally." Raising pigs in this conventional system can be particularly brutal for the animals. They are raised indoors, in densely crowded conditions with little or no bedding. Most live on slatted metal floors that allow their waste to collect beneath them in liquefied pools. Mother pigs are often kept for months at a time in metal crates so tiny that they cannot turn around.
American pig farmers blasted back. Minnesota Pork Producer Council President Lori Stevermer wrote an open letter, "Chipotle, what do you have against U.S. pig farmers?" She asked Chipotle not to "insinuate that the farmers who use a different production practice aren't treating their animals humanely."
In late summer, a class-action lawsuit filed in California accused Chipotle of deceptive marketing about its G-M-Over It marketing. "Consumers today are very concerned about what they eat, and restaurants know that consumers place a premium on food that is considered to be healthy or natural," said Laurence D. King, an attorney for the proposed class, in a statement. "As a result, Chipotle's advertising in its stores should have accurately informed customers about the source and quality of its ingredients and should not mislead consumers that they are serving food without GMOs when in fact they are."
The financial news hasn't been rosy for Chipotle this year, either. It's stock is down more than 15% over the past month alone. Same store sales have plummeted from a year ago and it's days as a high flying momentum stock appear to be over. It seemed like 2015 would be one big headache after another for Chipotle. Now, the company only wishes that was its only woe. Soon that headache was accompanied by stomach cramps, high fever and vomiting.
In August, about 80 customers and 18 restaurant employees in California were sickened by norovirus that was traced to a Chipotle restaurant in Simi Valley. A month later, a salmonella outbreak in 17 Chipotle restaurants in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area sickened nearly 70 people, nine of whom were hospitalized. And last week, an E. Coli outbreak forced the company to shut down more than 40 restaurants in Washington and Oregon. So far, at least 37 people are reported ill, with many hospitalized, and that number is expected to rise as more people are tested.
Whole Paycheck
Giving up Whole Foods was a little tougher than giving up Chipotle. As a cooking teacher and someone who cooks daily for my own family, I shopped often at Whole Foods because it was convenient and offered selections I couldn't find anywhere else. To be honest, I wasn't sure how long I would keep my promise not to shop there. It was easier than I thought. And apparently other shoppers have discovered they can live without Whole Foods, too.
Much like Chipotle, the news about Whole Foods has been mostly dismal this year. Shares were already down 37 percent on the year and fell another 11 percent earlier this week when the company announced same-store sales declined in the fourth quarter. Its shares recovered somewhat when it announced a 5.8 percent jump in quarterly earnings, but its growth rate is at its lowest in four years.
In September, the company said it would lay-off 1,500 employees. The job cuts were "part of an evolution the company is going through to free up some more money to invest in lower prices, marketing communication and technology upgrades," CEO Walter Robb said in an interview the day after the lay-off announcement.
Admittedly, some of the slump is outside its control. Once the mothership of the organic industry, Whole Foods now faces more competition from local stores as well as huge retailers like Costco and Wal-Mart; at the same time, some indicators show consumer interest in organic products might have plateaued. Nationwide, incomes remain stagnant. With some food prices on the rise, cash-strapped consumers are hesitant to spend $6 for asparagus water. Whole Food's nickname as "Whole Paycheck" won't be easy to shake.
What is not outside of their control is price-gouging. Over the summer, New York City's Department of Consumer Affairs announced an investigation into Whole Foods for "systemic overcharging for pre-packaged foods." The agency tested 80 different kinds of prepackaged products at New York Whole Foods outlets and found all had mislabeled weights. "Our inspectors tell me this is the worst case of mislabeling they have seen in their careers, which DCA and New Yorkers will not tolerate," said a statement by the agency.
Whole Foods has also dealt with some of its own stomach-turning recalls. In 2015 alone, the company has recalled 44 products including Curry Chicken Salad and Classic Deli Pasta Salad sold at several East Coast locations over concerns about listeria contamination. Unlike the safe GMOs the company shuns, listeria can pose serious health problems including high fever, severe headaches, nausea and diarrhea. It can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, and can be potentially fatal to young children and elderly people.
Time to eat some GMO crow?
Which brings me back to GMOs. Like Chipotle, I stopped shopping at Whole Foods because of its anti-GMO marketeering. They are major funders of labeling initiatives under the guise of a "right to know" what's in your food (but perhaps they should worry about their own food ingredients considering the previous paragraph). By 2018, the store says it will label all of its products either GMO or non-GMO. This is designed to steer consumers toward non-GMO organic products sold by Whole Foods, almost always at higher prices.
Whenever I read about so-called earnest GMO labeling efforts, I'm reminded of the best article written this year about GMOs by Slate's Will Saletan:
The people who push GMO labels and GMO-free shopping aren't informing you or protecting you. They're using you. They use your anxiety to justify GMO labels, and then they use GMO labels to justify your anxiety. Keeping you scared is the key to their political and business strategy. And companies like Chipotle, with their non-GMO marketing campaigns, are playing along.
Whole Foods and Chipotle secured their lucrative market niches by selling commodity goods at higher prices, which consumers willingly paid based on their belief that they were getting a superior product — ethically and sustainably. It was the model pioneered by The Body Shop cosmetic company in the 1980s and early 90s. It profited on what the GLP's Jon Entine called an "integrity premium" in numerous investigative reports about Body Shop and its founder, Anita Roddick; she was "exploiting idealism," another phrase that he coined. When the public learned that Body Shop was just another beauty company selling commodity cosmetics at higher prices and that its "high ethics" were a marketing creation, the company's financial bubble burst — permanently. It began losing money year and year, going from one of London City's high fliers to a stock doormat that was eventually sold off to L'Oreal.
Now that consumers are coming to see Chipotle and Whole Foods as more marketing than sustainability and substance, will they suffer the same fate? Their integrity premiums are already shrinking. I don't hope for the companies to fail although they certainly deserve some measure of comeuppance. But they employ a lot of good people who need those jobs and generate tax revenues for governments who need that money. So perhaps Chipotle and Whole Foods need to take a step back and eat some GMO crow. Their demonization of a safe, useful technology that has tremendous potential on a global scale in a crass move to either look trendy or sell more of their products is simply unacceptable. And given some of the problems they've encountered this year, perhaps focusing on their own safe food supply should be their priority.

Isaac Asimov
The Russian-born science fiction author, who emigrated to the US as a child, was Mensa's reluctant vice-president for many years. He described some of the members, however, as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs". He introduced the word "robotics" to the English language and became a cult figure in the middle of the 20th century. He was even approached by Sir Paul McCartney, then of the pop group Wings, to write the screenplay for a sci-fi musical but the former Beatle rejected his invitation.
Leslie Charteris
Charteris, an author, was the creator of Simon Templar, the heroic thief known as "The Saint" who was played by Roger Moore in the 1960s television series. His literary success came only after a string of unlikely jobs, including spells as a country pub barman, gold prospector, pearl fisherman, tin miner, carnival actor and bus driver.
Geena Davis
In addition to being a Mensa member, the Thelma and Louise actress has been married four times and won an Oscar in 1988 for her role in The Accidental Tourist. She is a competent organist, pianist and flautist and reportedly speaks fluent Swedish. Her first job was as a window mannequin in New York.
Jimmy Savile
The eccentric television presenter Jimmy Savile – best known for his BBC programme Jim'll Fix It – is also a member. He is a skilled driver and member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists but started his working life as a conscripted miner in the Second World War. He was also a hospital porter and semi-professional cyclist and professional wrestler. He was awarded an honorary Royal Marines Commando green beret for completing a 30-mile speed march across Dartmoor carrying 30lb of equipment. Savile has helped raise around £40m for charity.
Norman Schwarzkopf
"Stormin'" Norman rose to fame as the US Army general who led the Coalition Forces in the first Gulf War against Saddam Hussein in 1991. He has a Master's degree in mechanical engineering, served with distinction in the Vietnam War and gained a reputation for caring for his men. He once told his troops: "When you get on that plane to go home, if the last thing you think about me is "I hate that son of a b----", then that is fine because you're going home alive."

In the night a lot of bats hunt above the water on this lake close to Hovdala castle in Sweden. But one can experience solitude in town as well as in the middle the woods. And I had in fact company on my trip to the woods. But I walk alone on many mornings on my way to work in town as most other people do. This picture is part of the last APS-film I took with my Minolta APS-camera in 2014. The APS-film is no longer manufactured.

Songkran: The Worlds Wettest Water Fight
Imagine being transported back in time to your childhood when the only care in the world you had was where the next water balloon was coming from and when you would have time to refill your water gun. Remember those good times and then get ready to relive that moment (or rather make a new one) at the Songkran festival.
The symbolic celebration of the Thai New Year has become the world's wettest water fight. Traditionally the festival was about purification and starting anew. Recognized for its cleansing ability, water was (and still is) the main attraction. In the past, houses would be cleaned, statues of the Budda would be bathed with scented water and elders of the village would be shown respect by having water poured over their heads.
As time went on, and people started to realize how much fun could be had splashing complete and random strangers for no other reason than to escape the heat of summer, the methods (but not the meanings started to shift.
While the spirit of the festival is all in good fun, there are still some rules that you'll need to be aware of. To enjoy the most of what Songkran has to offer and to keep the fun going for as long as possible there are some simple dos and don'ts that everyone should follow.
What To Do
- Do take part in the Buddhist tradition of giving alms
- Do be mindful of your belongings and protect them from getting wet
- Do take public transportation to Songkran 'hotspots' and avoid the traffic
- Do learn the Thai phrase for Happy New Year – 'Sah wah dee pee mai!'
- Do stay cool (and with all the water around that should be fairly easy)
What NOT To Do
- Do not throw water the elderly, monks or babies
- Do not drink drive even if you think you'll be fine
- Do not throw water containing ice and only use clean water
- Do not douse motorcyclists – in order to keep the road safe
Just like in your childhood memories, you wish the water fight would never end, and luckily, it doesn't really have to. Songkran runs for three days straight from April 13th to April 15th in 2015 and take place in many cities around Thailand – the epicentre being Chiang Mai at the old city moat and the Tha Pae Gate.
Why not party in a water fountain?
You Will Get Wet – Very Wet!
Expect massive crowds of people in attendance and traffic backed up bumper to bumper for the next 2 miles. The festival has claimed the lives of many smart phones to date and next year will be no exception so make sure your devices are stored in a safe place before you leave for the most fun you'll ever have.
If you're a newcomer or a veteran, don't expect to stay dry either. There will be no mercy for anyone and most likely, the more you object the more saturated you will become! The best thing to do is just accept it and let it happen.

TORONTO - The Toronto Raptors were set to depart for a gruelling four-game road swing after Wednesday night's loss to the Charlotte Bobcats.
The trip couldn't come at a better time, as it's homecourt that proving a disadvantage to Toronto this season.
Kemba Walker hit a buzzer-beating jump shot in overtime to lift the Charlotte Bobcats to a 104-102 overtime victory Wednesday, handing the Raptors their eighth loss at home this season.
"It's one of those things that whatever it is, we're not generating enough focus. . .," said Raptors coach Dwane Casey, at a loss to explain the discrepancy between playing at home and on the road.
"We have far more focus on the road than we do at home, and that is a concern. I talked to the team about it today. We have great fans, great crowd, warm building, hot building, so there's no reason why we can't come out with that type of fire and intensity and don't wait until you get hit in the mouth, punched in the mouth until we turn it on."
The Raptors are 5-6 on the road this season, and just 4-8 at the Air Canada Centre.
Walker scored 29 points, including his 18-footer that sealed the victory for Charlotte (12-14). Al Jefferson added 24 points.
"It hurts, everyone who loses a game by a buzzer beater, you'd rather get blown out by 50 than lose on a buzzer beater," said Raptors guard Kyle Lowry, who had 17 points and six assists.
DeMar DeRozan scored a game-high 30 points for Toronto (9-14), while Amir Johnson had a game-high 13 rebounds to go with 10 points. Newcomer John Salmons finished with 11 points, while Jonas Valanciunas added 10.
The Raptors led by as much as 16 points midway through the third, but the Bobcats closed the quarter with a 25-9 run to send the game into the fourth locked at 70-70 in front of an Air Canada Centre crowd of 15,201.
It was a see-saw battle through the fourth quarter, and the Raptors trailed by three points twice in the last 21 seconds — the difference negated the second time by Lowry's three-pointer with 12 seconds to go to tie the game 95-95. DeRozan then stripped Walker on the Bobcats' last possession to guarantee overtime.
Valanciunas, Johnson and DeRozan had the Raptors' only three field goals in a sloppy five minutes of overtime that saw the Raptors miss on their first six shots. But DeRozan made one-of-two free throws with a second left to tie it up 102-102. Walker, guarded by Valanciunas — who was slow to get to him — was open when he made the winning buzzer-beater.
"Tough, tough one second," Valanciunas said. "He made a tough shot. Could make a better job on defence, but it happened. Could be earlier, maybe he wouldn't make that, but what happened happened."
Now the Raptors depart for a tough four-game road trip that takes them through Dallas, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, and New York. The Raptors play eight of their next 10 games on the road — a good thing, perhaps.
"I don't know, I have no idea," Lowry said, on the poor home record. "I really can't explain it, I can't put my foot on it, we've really got to find a way to change it around."
Lowry doesn't agree with Casey assessment that it's a lack of focus.
"Naw. . .we've just got to find a way to win at home, make the homecourt more of an advantage for us."
The Raptors shot 43 per cent from the floor to Charlotte's 46 per cent. The Raptors outrebounded the Bobcats 50-40.
It was another strong game for Johnson, who injected some desperately-needed energy into one of the ugliest quarters of basketball by either team in a while. The Raptors' two assists were the only assists in the quarter, and both teams shot just under a lowly 32 per cent. The Bobcats led 18-15 heading into the second.
The Raptors pulled away in what was an only slightly more exciting second quarter, outscoring their visitors 32-19. DeRozan had 11 points in the frame, and Lowry's driving layup with 23 seconds left put the Raptors up by 12. They took a 47-37 lead into the halftime break.
Walker scored 11 points in the third quarter as the Bobcats chipped away at Toronto's lead, tying it up on a Jefferson layup with two minutes to play.
NOTES: Chuck Hayes dressed for Toronto for the first time since last week's trade. Hayes had missed four games because he had to undergo baseline cardiac testing.

A Gentleman's Introduction To The Seven Liberal Arts
Just liked and left you a message on Facebook plus I love finding your company and fun stamps! This Blog is inspired by the Finnish model of teachers sharing freely great ideas. We had a great time, and our friends are still talking about what a unique and awesome venue we chose. Anna Reyner is a nationally recognized arts advocate who is dedicated to helping people get in touch with their own creativity. The venue for the U.S. premiere, MOPA selected 7 billion Others as its leading exhibition for Balboa Park's Centennial that commemorates the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. The next deadline for applications to the Arts Award Access Fund is the 21st October 2016.
It was added to this list in the twentieth century by Ricciotto Canudo, theorist and film critic, who in his 1911 'Manifesto of the seven arts' coined the term seventh art to include film amongst the fine arts. My 9 year old also has been taking classes from Sheri and she made great progress where she has started with Expore the Arts and advanced to oil painting. The Foundation's policy is to give half of the funds available to Welsh projects and it will give priority to good small scale arts projects in England and Wales. Outdoor art is great for summer when we can enjoy time outside in the light and sunshine.
Just a reminder that the research project took place in Newcastle, North Wales and Derbyshire and it will be exciting to share new research and thinking around the impact of the visual arts on the lived experiences of people with dementia. With the end of 2015 near, the completion of The Rich Mouse" limited-edition project at the Tampa Book Arts Studio is also in sight!
What a great time to work in education, our challenges are greater than ever and there's no better time to work in a field that contributes to the well-being of children. Virtually, the whole collection of 7 billion Others films will be presented in this way to the Californian public from February to September 2015. Arts participation; attendance at performing arts and visual arts events; personal creation and performing; participation in leisure activities.
Based in Montreal, Canada, The 7 Fingers of the Hand (Les 7 doigts de la main) was founded in 2002 with a mission to bring circus to a human scale, placing the extraordinary element of circus in ordinary contexts. The 7 case studies from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan are key organisations that are representative of the diverse cultural and socio-political context within which they operate. As they make and respond to artworks, students explore meaning and interpretation, forms and processes, and social and cultural contexts of the arts.

Glenswilly's Neil Gallagher gets his pass away against MacCumhaill's. Photo Geraldine Diver
Tom Comack email@example.com @dgldemocrat
PHOTO: Michael Murphy hits 2-5 as Glenswilly much too strong for MacCumhaill's
Glenswilly haven't gone away you know as their nine point win over Sean MacCumhaill's, in this afternoon's quarter-final, in O'Donnell Park, shows.
Glenswilly 2-20
Sean MacCumhaill's 1-14
Their big three of Michael Murphy, Neil Gallagher and Gary McFadden led from the front and all the rest around them responded.
Murphy and McFadden played as two lone raiders up front and between them they accounted for 2-11 of the 2-20 with county skipper, Murphy, ending the game with 2-5 and McFadden 0-6.
Big Neil chipped in with two points, one of them that could have been easily a goal and he was also provider for Murphy's second green flag.
Glenswilly got down to business from very early and Murphy got the scoreboard ticking inside two minutes after good approach play from Gary McFadden.
McFadden got his name on the scoresheet for the first time two minutes later when he curled over from a tight angle with his trusty left boot.
Neil Gallagher, Murphy and McFadden were making their presence felt and big Neil after a fine fetch and run combined with Murphy top pop over point number three.
MacCumhaill's were really struggling at this stage to make any headway up front against a packed Glenswilly defence that just swallowed up the Finnsiders' early attacks.
McFadden landed point number four with just seven minutes on the clock.
Brian Lafferty eventually found enough room to swing over MacCumhaill's opening score.
But Glenswilly continued to dominate and the 2013 champions were 0-6 to 0-1 in front before Aaron Kelly kicked MacCumhaill's second point on 13 minutes.
And when Darren O'Leary pointed shortly after the margin was back to three, 0-6 to 0-3.
However, that is as close as MacCumhaill's got and Glenswilly stuck to the game plan and the points flowed and they hit four without reply to open up a 0-10 to 0-3 lead with just over five minutes left in the half.
MacCumhaill's, to their credit, came more into the game and when Aaron Kelly found Darren O'Leary who drilled past James Gallagher to peg the margin back to four.
And when Marty O'Reilly, who had a very quiet game, nipped in for a point the gap was down to three again, 0-10 to 1-4 before Murphy made it a four point game at the interval, Glenswilly 0-11, MacCumhaill's 1-4.
A Murphy goal within 11 seconds of the restart restored Glenswilly's seven point advantage and in reality the game as a contest was over.
Murphy scored after taking a route one ball from big Neil Gallagher, who won the throw-in.
Glenswilly went into cruise control and outscored MacCumhaill's by four points to two in the opening seven minutes of the second period to open up a 1-16 to 1-9 lead. And by the time Murphy raced through from halfway to plant goal number two for a 2-20 to 1-11 advantage, Michael Canning was already plotting and planning next week's training routine.
In fairness to MacCumhaill's, despite looking down the barrel from a long way out, battled to the finish, none more so than Darren O'Leary, who hit six of their second half points.

Landing flare
The landing flare, also referred to as the round out,[1] is a maneuver or stage during the landing of an aircraft.[2][3][4]
The flare follows the final approach phase and precedes the touchdown and roll-out phases of landing. In the flare, the nose of the plane is raised, slowing the descent rate and therefore, creating a softer touchdown, and the proper attitude is set for touchdown. In the case of conventional landing gear-equipped aircraft, the attitude is set to touchdown on the main (front) landing gear first. In the case of tricycle gear-equipped aircraft, the attitude is set to touchdown on the main (rear) landing gear. In the case of monowheel gear-equipped gliders, the flare consists only of leveling the aircraft.[2][3][4]
In parachuting, the flare is the part of the parachute landing fall preceding ground contact and is executed about 15 feet (5 m) above ground.[5]
During a helicopter landing, a flare is used to reduce both vertical and horizontal speed to allow a near zero-speed touchdown.[6]

Maurice Audin

|after 11 June 1957

|Laurent Schwartz
Maurice Audin (14 February 1932 – after 11 June 1957) was a French mathematics assistant at the University of Algiers, a member of the Algerian Communist Party and an activist in the anticolonialist cause, who died under torture by the French state during the Battle of Algiers.[1]
In the centre of Algiers, beside the university, the intersection of streets bearing the names of several other heroes of the Algerian Revolution is called the Place Maurice-Audin.[2]
The Audin affair[edit]
During the Battle of Algiers, Maurice Audin was arrested at his home on 11 June 1957, by Captain Devis, Lieutenant Philippe Erulin and several soldiers of the First Parachute Regiment of the French Army. He was taken to the Villa Susini in the fashionable neighborhood of El Biar for interrogation.
A trap was installed in the apartment of the Audin family and Henri Alleg, the former editor of the Alger républicain, was arrested there the next day.
Doctor Georges Hadjadj later admitted that, under torture, he had given Audin's name to men working for Paul Aussaresses, following threats that his wife would be raped.[3]
Audin was last seen alive by Henri Alleg, one day after his arrest. Alleg had just been arrested, and the paratroopers attempted to intimidate him by showing Audin, who had been tortured and was confused. Pressed to tell Alleg how torture would feel, he said "it is tough, Henri" (c'est dur, Henri). Alleg described the events in La Question; he also mentioned later hearing a prisoner dragged away and gunshots, that he assumed were Audin's summary execution.[4]
Audin's wife and their three children never received any further information about him. According to Pierre Vidal-Naquet, who wrote in May 1958, in the first edition of L'affaire Audin, that escape was impossible, Maurice Audin died under torture on 21 June 1957, at the hands of Lieutenant André Charbonnier (a graduate of Saint-Cyr who was nicknamed "the doctor" because he liked to use a scalpel on his victims[5]), under the orders of the General Jacques Massu. According to the French Army, Maurice Audin tried to escape by jumping from a jeep during a transfer. However, in November 1960, Charbonnier told Vidal-Naquet that he had strangled Audin and buried the body in Fort l'Empereur in El Biar.[3]
By July 1957, some newspapers started to discuss "the Audin affair" and, on 2 December 1957, the defence in absentia of his doctoral thesis, On linear equations in a vector space, chaired by Laurent Schwartz, aroused indignation among certain academics against the situation in Algeria.
"Audin committees" were created to publicise the issue and arouse public opinion against the practice of torture in Algeria.
A judicial inquiry was initiated following a complaint from his wife. At the request of the lawyers for Madame Josette Audin, the case was transferred in Rennes in April 1959; it lasted until April 1962 when it was closed for lack of evidence. Moreover, on 22 March 1962, an amnesty had been decreed for "activities within the framework of the operations for the enforcement of law and order directed against the Algerian insurrection".
When the case was closed, Madame Audin's lawyers appealed to the supreme court of appeal. Their appeal was rejected in 1966. The body of Maurice Audin not having been found, a death certificate was issued by a court in Algiers on 1 June 1963, a judgment which was recognized in France on 27 May 1966.
In 2001, Madame Audin issued a new complaint, calling her husband's death a crime against humanity.[6]
In June 2007, fifty years after her husband's disappearance, Madame Audin wrote to Nicolas Sarkozy, the then newly elected French president, asking him that the mystery of her husband's disappearance be cleared up and that France assume its responsibility in the affair.
In January 2009, Michèle Audin, the daughter of Maurice Audin, herself a mathematician, publicly declined the French Legion d'Honneur, which had been awarded for her work. As a motivation for her refusal, she cited the lack of response from the French government to her mother's letter.
In September 2018, president Emmanuel Macron admitted that Maurice Audin died under torture by French government in Algeria.[1][7]

| eBook
Written by Gina Lomarto
Illustrated by Mario
Language: english
Translated by ├ügnes Urb├Īn
In the first episode of the tale series
Elf Watercastle decides to live at sea and builds his ship. He welcomes
Father Crab as his helmsman who served at the Crab Navy as a captain for
half a century, later on two playful seahorses join the crew. They have
exciting adventures together, sailing all the seas and oceans of the world.
Sample pictures from eBook
When he was
standing by the helm, the ship would not take speed since there was nobody
adjusting the sails. The ship did not make any progress, the nice cork
castle would just quirk around on the water.
- Well, my friend,
it does not look in the right direction. Facing forward you cannot sail
the ship. - said Father Crab wisely, then he sagely walked over to the
other side of the helm. It was late in the evening when he got there.
- This way.
Back to the engine. This is how you can sail properly! - he said contentedly.
He leaned his paunch against the helm's stand and looked at the distant
waves in admiration.
Elf Watercastle
also held the match-stick mast tight, not to fall down. And the tiny castle
pulled by seahorses glided through the water swiftly and it disappeared
among the waves.

The movie version of 'Change Of Habit' has
the original bass removed and is redone by bassist
Carol Kaye on September 3 1969 in post-production
of the film.
It is a guess that the unknown production number
M1 is the re-use of the January
20 master of 'Rubberneckin', as this
re-use of 'Rubberneckin' could be any of
the unknown production numbers M1, M4 or M7.
Two takes (MB5-NA & MB5-08) may have been
considered as master for 'Let Us Pray', having
backup vocals overdubbed to both takes individually
on March 26 by The
Blossoms (Darlene Love; Jean King & Fanita
This is assumed because the backup vocals are
totally different on 'Let Us Pray' on the
bootleg Memphis Tennessee from acetate,
as opposed to the alternate master' (Take 8)
on Today, Tomorrow And Forever, but the backing
track is identical.
Take NA must have then been
discarded, in favour of Take 8 being used for
the master.
Elvis' vocals were then removed (dubdown to track)
from Take 8, although the backing vocals were
kept, and Elvis re-recorded new lead vocals on September 26 in Nashville.
The movie version of 'Let Us Pray' has
extra backing vocals in the chorus, possibly recorded
on the movie set (April 14-15 1969?).
The movie version of 'Have A Happy' has
the intro edited and has additional overdubbed
RCA originally had the date of Elvis recording
'Let Us Pray' as being September 22 1969.
In March of 2007, Sony decided to go through all of Elvis' masters. They retransferred everything and remastered all tracks including repairing as many clicks, pops, bad edits and dropouts as they could. They have used these newly mastered recordings on their new releases since 2007 including budget soundtracks, Legacy releases, the 30 disc Complete Elvis Presley Masters collection and the Franklin Mint package.
Thanks to Ernst Jørgensen for providing
information on the missing production numbers.

In eight short years, Jacob Flesher not only exhibited generosity well beyond his age but inspired it in others.
And now, after a three-year battle with cancer, those who knew and heard about the brave little boy and rallied around him and his family as his health declined are determined to keep his happy, giving, spirit alive.
It all started in Aug. 2011 when Flesher, of Manchester, decided to collect toys for other children at the hospital while he was in remission. At the time, the shy 7-year-old was just coming off of surgery, 11 weeks of radiation, and 32 weeks of chemotherapy treatment for Wilm's Tumor, a rare kidney cancer that primarily occurs in children.
Flesher's battle with cancer ended on Monday, but his bravery and selflessness has motivated others to do acts of kindness in his memory.�
After hearing about him one way or another, many began tracking Flesher's progress on the family's Facebook page, "Jacob's Ladder." As Flesher continued to beat the odds of his disease, Mary Kenyon, Flesher's grandmother, said his story began to spread, with one status updates reaching thousands of people.
"I knew something amazing was happening, and that his story was touching the lives of friends, family, and complete strangers all over the world," Kenyon said in an email. "A woman in another state had begun an animal rescue league in his honor, mothers were hugging their children more frequently and reaching out to this little family in Iowa. The little boy who rarely spoke but whose eyes and smile tugged at the heartstrings of complete strangers was making a difference in the lives of others."
When a status update announcing Flesher's death on reached 41,000 people on Monday, Kenyon said she got goosebumps imagining what kind of impact one short life could have on the world.
"I immediately knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to use Jacob's death to make this world a better place. I wanted to be kinder, more generous. I wanted to be like Jacob. I will do things, little "random acts of kindness" in his honor, and leave a card asking the recipient of my kind act to do the same," Kenyon said.
After ordering some cards for herself and her family, Kenyon posted the cards to the Facebook page. Since then, she's ordered more than 1,000 to meet the demand from family, people who followed Flesher's progress and local businesses alike.
"If one little person can touch the lives of 41,000 people, just think what we can do by reaching out to others in his memory," Kenyon said.
Elizabeth Flesher, Jacob's mother, said social media was a wonderful way to receive support throughout her son's illness, as the family was able to put updates out there for everyone to read rather than returning phone calls or relaying the same information to several people. But she also said it also helped to write through the emotions, and share them with other readers who have been through the same thing.
Most of all, Elizabeth Flesher said her son has inspired her and her family to live everyday with joy and peace, and to be strong in the face of adversity.
"Jacob stood for all that is good. He came into this world and taught me more about life than I could have ever taught him," Flesher said. "Jacob changed a little piece of this world for the better."Jacob's obituary is available here.
