This past weekend my sister and I took our uncle out for his birthday and after a cousin of ours talked Las Velas up that is where my uncle wanted to go. I haven't been to Market Square since the renovation was completed and I was pretty impressed with how nice it has turned out along with all the new restaurants. I am sure I will be back to check out many of them in the near future. Las Velas sits above Market Square which means you will need to walk up some stairs to get to the restaurant and the view makes dinner even nicer while eating.
The first thing we ordered was a pitcher of margaritas along with chips and salsa, guacamole and queso. Our waiter, Justin, recommended that we add chorizo to the queso to give it extra flavor and I think he hit a home run with that recommendation! The chips were crunchy and I am guessing made fresh at the restaurant. The salsa was fresh and flavorful, which you may think that should be all salsa's but its sad how many actually lack flavor when you go out to eat. As I said the queso with chorizo was a nice addition and we all enjoyed it but I think the real highlight out of the three was the guacamole it was so smooth and creamy, sometimes I get tired of digging around big chunks of avocado in guacamole that this was a nice treat. I know we polished that off in no time!
While we waited for our dinner we began drinking our pitcher and the first one went down so quickly (like Frank says in Old School "Once it hits your lips, it's so good!"). A gentlemen came over to the table and took the pitcher and said he was going to freshen it up for us, turns out it was the owner, David, and we began talking to him for a bit. My uncle saw an article about David in Pittsburgh Magazine recently (link below) and they were able to have a conversation from that. A really nice guy, he was telling us about where he came from and how the restaurant has been going since he opened up. Oh and the margarita's are delicious! We ended up with about 2 and a half pitchers and WOW was I feeling good by the time dinner was over! We just went with a classic margarita but I am looking forward to a return trip to see what other varieties Las Velas offers.
Now onto the main event of the evening… I ordered the Tacos del Paisa (fish) aka Fish Tacos (pictured above). My sister has made fish tacos before but that is the only way I have had them, so when my cousin recommended the restaurant he spoke very highly of the fish tacos and figured I would give them a try. The dinner includes three tacos with freshly breaded tilapia, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo and a creamy chipotle sauce. Served with rice and beans. I squeezed some lime over top of the taco's and that really helped enhance the flavors of the tilapia and chipotle sauce. The tacos weren't heavy, they were very light and extremely flavorful.
Since we went out for a birthday we just had to get dessert and Justin our server recommended a dessert that I don't remember the name of but I believe he referred to it as their version of a fried ice cream. It was ice cream inside of a tortilla and on the side Justin provided a flambe show where he heated up a pan with butter and cinnamon and sugar along with bananas and strawberries but the extra flavor came from the Grand Marnier and then he lit that SOB on fire and poured it over top the tortilla and ice cream. We were contemplating ordering dessert in the first place, but this tasted so amazing and wasn't heavy at all that I really can't complain about ordering it. I would definitely order it again, for the taste and to see the show again!
I have to tell any of you reading this that if you haven't been to Las Velas yet, you really need to right away! The dinner was so awesome I really can't tell you enough good stuff about Las Velas, the food and drink quality was excellent along with the great service from not only our server Justin but from the owner David as well! From one trip I know they are going to quickly rise to be one of my regular spots when I am in the mood for Mexican, or possibly even when I want a drink.

On October 25, 2017, 11 of us gathered in Room 124 to discuss literacy (reading, writing, listening, speaking) strategies that teachers from any department could use. Add yourself to the Schoology course to join in on the conversations: 8TGGV-7R5F3.
What is literacy and why does it matter?
Reading, writing, speaking, listening. Whether you teach English or Spanish or Math or Science or Religious Studies or Technology, students are developing subject-specific language. You are equipping them with the conceptual knowledge and words to help students successfully interact with the world around them.
What are ways I help students develop literacy in any subject?
I think of literacy development like an endless cycle of food consumption. You are first presented with a cheeseburger, you digest it, then you use its caloric energy to do other tasks. Sometimes, I don't quite get all the energy I need with one hamburger, so before I go do other things, I need to eat and digest some more.
Similarly with literacy and language aquisition, you first come in contact with a new idea, you make meaning of it, then you solidfy it by putting it into practice. Below are some ideas in which teachers are using:

Luke Wright was one of the people who got me writing poetry. At an Edinburgh Fringe a few years ago, after a year where I'd finally started to get into rap and hip-hop, I spent a blissful two days at his poetry tent — a free event space on the Meadows where he'd invited some of Britain's best and craziest performance poets to perform, all day long. It was seeing that, combined with catching the amazing Baba Brinkman and especially his clarion call The Rhyme Renaissance, that got me thinking I really could do performance poetry and slam. I wrote Introduction about my rap/poetry anxieties soon after (it still in part holds true for me) and I've never looked back.
So I've got a major soft spot for him. Quite apart from being a great poet, he's done a lot to revitalise and promote the form. I do think performance poetry needs more shameless self-promoters. But there's a downside to that, when an ignorant media can make it seem like these guys are all there is. Take this article in the Independent, which LW posted the other day:
Performance poetry. It's not a phrase that strikes joy into many people's hearts – there's a fear it'll be some fop emoting furiously about a penchant for self-harm, or a lame attempt to make an archaic art form 'hip'.
Bollocks! Is that really what most people think of when they hear the words "performance poetry"? "Open mic" or "spoken word", but we've worked so hard for so long to make poetry exciting and immediate! Is this just journalistic excess, or is something really wrong? Also:
But one young poetry collective is proving it doesn't have to be that way.
Bollocks! Self-promoters (and thus poetry-promoters) we need, but we don't need the way journalists latch onto that and make it seem like one group, one person is all their is. This isn't the fault of Aisle 16, I'm not saying that in any way; I just hate the way it's so easy to make it seem like there isn't a massive community, a massive culture behind what celebrities we have, doing really exciting things. We've got to be careful not to encourage the understanding of that whenever we can.
I'm reminded of this Times article about Farrago. It's a bit more respectful to the whole culture, it says "Every week in small theatres and pubs across Britain, poetry is being dragged back into popular culture by a new generation", showing the widespread collectivity of the scene, but at the same time it's so basic, so simple and so unaware of how big this thing is now. Poetry is big! Isn't it? I mean, Farrago's been going for a decade and a half! Don't we get more recognition than that now?
Or are we all overcome with hubris? Are people much less aware of what we're trying to do than we thought? I believe so passionately in the power of art to give people voices, to make essential testimony, to empower people to take charge of their lives, I really do. I love even the worst slam poetry because someone is getting to speak and people are getting to listen. I really believe in making that happen and spreading it out. So in that mission, in this celebration of the Year of the Poet, there's a lot of work to be done, and a lot of pitfalls to avoid. But we can do it. Right?

The NZDF defines Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) as the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information about features or activities of defence, security, economic, safety or intelligence interest.
Based at Devonport Naval Base, Auckland and Headquarters NZDF in Wellington, GNZ's largely civilian staff has expertise in a range of GEOINT disciplines including GIS, cartography, remote sensing and imagery analysis.
Originally established as the RNZN Hydrographic Office, GNZ now serves as the core of the NZDF's geospatial intelligence capability across the three Services. GNZ provides maps, charts, imagery products, data management and expertise to help guide NZDF decision making at the tactical, operational and strategic levels.
From navigation charts and exercise maps to fused intelligence graphics, GNZ works with units across the NZDF to ensure that GEOINT provides an operational advantage and secures the safety of NZDF personnel across the globe.
GNZ's mandate includes providing GEOINT support to other New Zealand Government agencies, particularly partners in the security and intelligence sector. For example, GEOINT support plays an important role in helping secure New Zealand's maritime interests by improving planning and prioritisation to make efficient use of NZDF and other agencies' operational resources.
GEOINT support is also valued by Defence, NZ Government and aid agencies when involved in humanitarian and disaster relief operations worldwide. During the 2015 relief effort in Vanuatu following Cyclone Pam, GNZ's damage assessment reports helped guide support to where it was needed most.
GNZ works with a range of national and international partners, such as: Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), New Zealand Police, New Zealand Fire Service, the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), the Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation (AGO) and Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO), as well as the UK Defence Geographic Centre (DGC) and the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO).

Broken Wolf by Krystal Shannan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
things are getting heavier in this part of themoonbound series. maggie and luther have their bond in place but that doesn't distract them for the task at hand. for the next step they need a new outsider and luther knows just the person, Vadik, a russian mercenary. when the team is waiting on him vadik is already assesing the team and he can't understand why luther is so wrapped up in the tiny wisp of a woman next to him. what gets on his nerves even more is the fact he knows he has a dangerous job to do and the people he sees with luther have zero to none credibility, he doesn't know them and he doesn't find anything on them!
and then there is the blonde in the group, she stirs something deep inside of him, something he knows for sure will distract from the mission. one that's even made harder when the blonde and himself have to pose as Master and slave in order to get on the island.
andrea isn't all too happy with how things are going and when vadik enters the picture and her magick comes alive it's even more complicated. she doesn't have a submissive bone in her body despite the fact she likes to make everyone happy and at ease. but for their task to succeed she has to act like a slave. as time is an issue they get a crash course on how to act with each other but that is like pouring oil on a fire and untill they deal with their true feelings their pretend relationship is doomed to fail.
will vadik and andrea be able to pull off this elaborate scheme? what will they find on the island because each step closer to rossie tells more secrets and none of them are good!
loved this part even with the good, the bad and ugly times! it's a rollercoaster ride toward the conclusion of this story, can't wait to read how this all will turn out!!

One way you can stand out as a student or recent graduate? Be well read. Check out these 5 business books this summer.
Calling All Grads! focuses on using personal stories to illustrate useful strategies job-seekers can apply to their own search.
My diploma should be shared with Katniss Everdeen, Bilbo Baggins, Aslan the lion, Boo Radley, Huck Finn – the list goes on and on.
In "Get-It-Done Guy's 9 Steps to Work Less and Do More," Stever Robbins advises readers to make sure everything you do is helping you reach your goals. We asked him some productivity questions to help students and recent grads do more too!
Mignon Fogarty's The Grammar Devotional: Daily Tips for Successful Writing from Grammar Girl includes pop culture references and humour in her book, which make an otherwise boring subject come alive.
After finishing his PhD in molecular biology, Adam Ruben wrote a book titled, Surviving Your Stupid Stupid Decision to go to Grad School. If you are thinking about going to grad school, this book is an excellent, informative read. And it's hilarious, too.
Julie Bauke's new book, Stop Peeing on Your Shoes: Avoiding the 7 Mistakes that Screw Up Your Job Search, is full of no-nonsense career advice dispensed through client stories that will give you the tools and the strategies to put your search on the right track.
You've probably felt overwhelmed if you've ever glanced at the career section of a bookstore. Fortunately, there many titles out there directly targeted at university students and new graduates. Here are five titles you should pick up next time you wonder, "What am I doing my with my life?"
This book forces job hunters to think seriously about their careers (both past and future) in ways you've never thought of before. Perhaps more importantly, it helps develop tools you didn't know you needed. You should already have a resumé, but what about a whole job-hunting portfolio?
I recently read a book entitled Who's Your City? by Richard Florida, which I am recommending to any new grad who is seriously considering relocation for whatever reason. What would you move for: family, partner, career, weather? These are tough decisions to make.

One of the biggest problems any legal marketer faces is believing CRO is easy. Anyone with an understanding of how a website is meant to work can take a look as a site and pick out things that might prevent users from converting. But how can we really know that these are the issues? And how do we fix them? By using these five steps to construct your CRO plan, you can make sure you are identifying the real reasons visitors aren't converting and how you can test and optimise your website.
P.S. Why not download our first legal podcast and learn how to build a successful CRO strategy today!
The first step is to research and discover. Begin by clearly outlining your legal firm's goals so that you can make sure your CRO plan is built around those business goals. Next is research your target audience and how they interact with your website, gathering data from Google Analytics on bounce rate, time on page and pages viewed will give you some basic information on how users interact with your firm's site. Diving deeper you can use tools like Google consumer surveys, heatmaps and real-time analytics to gain further understanding of your user's behaviour.
With this information you can begin to list hypothese of what is affecting your conversion rate. Focus on who your website is for and how such changes will help solve the issues they may currently be having. Also define where you will test your hypothese, and which pages have the highest priority in improving conversion rate.
Once you have your targeted hypothesis it's then time to design the changes for your legal firm's website, keeping in mind that they need to address your hypothesis and meet your business goals. It is also important in this stage of your CRO plan to make sure your changes are on brand and are technically possible this can be done by working alongside your designer and web developers.
Now that you have designed the changes that you feel will address your hypothesis and help increase your conversion rate, it is time to implement them across your site. You don't want to simply role them out across the whole site before you've performed rigorous testing. There are a number of tests you can do such as A/B or multivariate testing as well as conducting surveys within your target audience to get feedback on the changes compared to the previous designs. Read more about conducting CRO testing in this blog.
The final step in your CRO plan is to look at the results of your tests. Did the changes prove the hypothesis to be correct or not. If not then you need to return to step three and four and repeat. If your hypothesis was proven correct however then you can roll out your changes further and begin to move onto the next issues you found in the first discovery step.
With these five steps you can build a successful CRO plan for your legal firm, which lets you identify reasons for poor conversions, test new ideas and analyse their success.

Erasmus Policy Statement of the European Polytechnic Institute, Ltd
Strategy, objectives and priorities
The European Polytechnic Institute,Ltd is an educational complex located in the Czech Republic. The history of the complex began in 1991. We offer a wide range of courses in economic informatics and electronic computer study. For the last few years the Institute has participated in international exchange programs and cooperation. Since 2009 the implemented international program ERASMUS has become the basis of the international cooperation. Research conducted together with partners from abroad and implemented within the framework of bilateral contract constitute a vital part of scientific activity of the Institute.
Heading for a broader internationalization of education we are thus setting the following priorities:
- The main goals of our international strategy in collaboration are focused now on an annual number increase of the student and staff exchange.
- We are striving to keep the balance between our international students and teachers exchanges and our national ones.
- When choosing any partnerships, we check whether we are able to share the responsibility and commitment with a partner, whether we can benefit from our partner's contribution and whether their unique skills and strengths could complement our own.
- We choose our partners not only in the framework of the EU but also from Russia, Belarus and USA.
- The rising diversity and a quality upgrading of the education of foreign languages among our students and staff are the main priorities at our Institute.
- The main goal for us is creating a quality upgrade of the services offered to foreign students (i.e. an extension of the catalogue of courses conducted in English, the involvement of our Czech students in the adaptation processes of foreign students).
- The main strategy in the educational process is adjusting this educational offer to the needs of a changing labor market.
- The promotion of partnership development among different sectors of education (sectors of higher education, vocational education and adult education) is tailored to fit the needs of these sectors. Our aim is the merging of the foreign student exchange with vocational training, cooperation with companies, establishing broader and broader cooperation with foreign schools of higher education for the purpose of mutual realization of multilateral projects.
- We also focus on thematic concepts based on the transfer of innovation and research projects, the mutual creation of the programs of studies, and the issuing of dual diplomas.
- We have created uncomplicated and clear administrative procedures at our Institute allowing for the improvement of student exchange standards within the framework of LLP, promoting an awareness of the importance of cultural and linguistic diversity, promoting equality between men and women and contributing to combating all forms of discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation.
- We are aiming for the activate implementation and promotion of the ideas of the following LLP programs: Comenius, Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Tempus etc.
Implementation of the programme is the responsibility of vice-rector for foreign affairs, with the support of study department and top management of the institution.
Erasmus Student Charter
The status of 'Erasmus student' applies to students who satisfy the Erasmus eligibility criteria and who have been selected by their university to spend an Erasmus period abroad – either studying at an eligible partner university or carrying out a placement in an enterprise or other appropriate organisation. For study mobility, both universities must have an Erasmus University Charter awarded by the European Commission. For placement in enterprise the home university must hold an extended Erasmus University Charter (i.e. also covering rights and obligations relating to placements).
As an Erasmus student, you are entitled to expect:
- Your home and host universities to have an inter-institutional agreement.
- The sending and receiving institutions to sign with you and before you leave a Learning/Training Agreement setting out the details of your planned activities abroad, including the credits to be achieved.
- Not to have to pay fees to your host university for tuition, registration, examinations, access to laboratory and library facilities during your Erasmus studies.
- Full academic recognition from your home university for satisfactorily completed activities during the Erasmus mobility period, in accordance with the Learning/Training Agreement.
- To be given a transcript of records at the end of your activities abroad, covering the studies/work carried out and signed by your host institution/enterprise. This will record your results with the credits and grades achieved. If the placement was not part of the normal curricula, the period will at least be recorded in the Diploma Supplement.
- to be treated and served by your host university in the same way as their home students.
- to have access to the Erasmus University Charter and European Policy Statement of your home and host universities.
- Your student grant or loan from your home country to be maintained while you are abroad.
As an Erasmus student, you are expected to:
- Respect the rules and obligations of your Erasmus grant agreement with your home university or your National Agency.
- Ensure that any changes to the Learning/Training Agreement are agreed in writing with both the home and host institutions immediately they occur.
- Spend the full study/placement period as agreed at the host university/enterprise, including undergoing the relevant examinations or other forms of assessment, and respect its rules and regulations. Write a report on your Erasmus study/placement period abroad when you return and provide feedback if requested by your home university, the European Commission or the National Agency.
If you have a problem:
- Identify the problem clearly and check your rights and obligations.
- Contact your departmental coordinator for Erasmus and use the formal appeals procedure of your home university if necessary.
If you remain dissatisfied, contact your National Agency.

What are the goals of the program?
- Main objectives:
- to improve the quality and increase the amount of student and staff mobility throughout Europe
- to improve the quality and increase the amount of multilateral cooperation between higher education institutions in Europe;
- to increase the degree of transparency and compatibility between higher education institutions in Europe;
- to improve the quality and increase the amount of multilateral cooperation between higher education institutions and enterprises in Europe.
Erasmus Programme at EPI
ERASMUS programme is the European Union founded programme which offers students the chance of studying in another European country for periods between 3 and 12 months.
The aim of the programme is to encourage and support academic mobility of higher education students and teachers within the European Union. It supports international cooperation of schools of higher education and enables their participation in various international projects.
Erasmus University Charter provides the general framework for all European co-operation activities a higher education institution may carry out within the Erasmus Programme. The Charter sets out the fundamental principles and the minimum requirements underlying the Erasmus activities a higher education institution has to respect. The Charter entitles your institution to participate in decentralised Erasmus activities, as well as to act as an applicant organisation in Erasmus centralised actions (multilateral projects, networks and accompanying measures) managed by the Executive Agency. It enables student and teaching staff mobility, curriculum development, co-operation projects and networks.
Application procedure
Before you start your studies at a foreign university, you should learn the rights and duties of Erasmus students. They are set out in the Erasmus Charter.
What do you have to do to be accepted as an Erasmus student ?
If you wish to apply for studying at the European Polytecnical Institute as an exchange student, you should fill in the following forms:
Contact person for International Relations:
Prof. Mgr. Iveta Hashesh, Ph.D., MBA
e-mail: Tato e-mailová adresa je chráněna před spamboty. Pro její zobrazení musíte mít povolen Javascript., or Tato e-mailová adresa je chráněna před spamboty. Pro její zobrazení musíte mít povolen Javascript.
Your Application forms have to be approved by our authorities and coordinator. After your applications forms are signed by our university, you will get back one copy of Application Form and Learning Agreement. You will also receive an acceptance letter.
Due to the current situation, when we did not receive the new ECHE charter, we are promoting international mobility of our students and staff using the services of external agencies.
The strategy of European Polytechnic Institute, Ltd. is to educate and train professionals through practical work and experience. Our students are directly cooperating with companies, implementing the knowledge and projects for the given company. We are trying to introduce real situation to solve, real cases to work on to the students. Part of that strategy is promoting of summer study and work abroad programmes.
The year 2013/2014 gave us opportunity to introduce following programmes to our students:
Our students were offered the possibility of study and working programs in China. While it is not very common destination, in the future it would be very advantageous if our students had contacts in China. One of our students, Tomáš Kuruc, applied for this program and is currently in the process of acceptance.Contact: www.crccasia.com
The agency Czech-US is agency concentrating on work and study programs nearly all over the world. Our students were interested mainly in work programs in countries like Spain, Greece, USA, but less common destinations were also popular (New Zealand). We will continue in promotion of this agency for the future students, as our main goal is to give our students possibility to try working and studying abroad.Contact: www.czech-us.cz
Our third promoted work and study program for our students was the program of the agency Rhodesnow. This agency concentrates on the island Rhodes and provides working experience for students in the area of hotels industry. Our students were very interested in this possibility and we are going to cooperate in cooperation with this agency. The agency also uses Erasmus financing for students and therefore we could combine the support from the European Union in this area.Contact: www.rhodesnow.com
Currently, we are quite limited by the fact, that we were not awarded Erasmus Charter. Therefore we have applied for the new charter for the next time period, to properly use it to support travels and experience of our students and teachers.

According to some, the recession is over. There's undoubtedly a good percentage of the population, however, who would wax indignant at such a suggestion. They might agree that the recession is over for those living in ivory towers, but not so much for your average blue collar worker, like most of Rochester.
Our page one story on homelessness focuses on the percentage of the population hardest hit by the prolonged and glacially moving "recovery."
Homelessness is an ever present issue and as Strafford CAP experts attest, it's complicated. It often involves not just alcohol and drug abuse, but mental health problems as well. Unemployment and homelessness obviously make for a drastic combination.
What makes a prolonged recession all the worse, however, is the social safety net that disappears. In 2008, when job losses skyrocketed, Congress passed emergency measures to supplement state-level unemployment insurance programs.
According to Labor Department statistics, New Hampshire went from 40 weeks of unemployment benefits to 86 weeks in 2009. In 2010 and 2011, the state offered 63 weeks of unemployment benefits, but in 2012, we were down again to 40 weeks. When unemployment benefits expire, homelessness is an obvious result.
Several years ago, the Rochester Times editorialized about the unfair way in which unemployment benefits are doled out. In 2010, the state's average jobless rate fell below six percent and with that seemingly arbitrary number, 23 weeks of benefits were cut off for Granite Staters. It didn't matter if you lived in Farmington, for example, which had a double digit unemployment rate for part of that year.
It also should be noted that these are U-3 numbers, which conveniently omit a large section of job seekers. If you work one hour a week, the U-3 numbers call you employed. If you haven't applied for a job in more than four weeks, the U-3 numbers don't count you as unemployed.
The U-6 numbers usually run double that of the U-3 numbers. They include so-called discouraged job seekers, who might not have applied for a job in nearly a year, having been rejected for so long. The U-6 numbers include those working part-time, who would prefer to be working full time. In our opinion, it offers a much more realistic view of unemployment and underemployment. The very latest U-6 jobless rate for the state, in this period of "recovery" is still over 11 percent and it is significantly higher than that in those communities with above average U-3 rates. Most of the communities in northern Strafford County, in other words.
Meanwhile, the Homeless Center for Strafford County has closed for the season. It is generally open just during the coldest months of the year. Executive Director Susan Ford says this winter was "pretty much in line with years past" for the shelter.
As always, the Rochester Times is an advocate for the shelter. Their season has ended, but preparations for next season are beginning. They will be holding their annual Spring Fling on Saturday, June 1 at the Rolland Estates, just next to the Governor's Inn, in Rochester. The event will feature a silent and live auction, live entertainment, hors d'oeuvres, a chocolate fountain and a cash bar.
We encourage anyone interested in getting involved or donating to contact the center at (603) 332-2300. The shelter also is in need of regular supplies, including paper goods, monetary donations, gas and gift cards and, of course, volunteers.
Recovery not so evident to everyone
According to some, the recession is over. There's undoubtedly a good percentage of the population, however, who would wax indignant at such a suggestion. They might agree that the recession is over for those living in ivory towers, but not so much for your average blue collar worker, like most of Rochester.

There is seldom a shortage of crowds at the Boise River Park, from surfers to kayakers and boogie boarders. But like any resource that needs to be shared, there is seldom a shortage of conflict, either. This summer made for some rough waters as Boise River Park wave technicians tried to keep both surfers and kayakers happy. Both user groups rely on a very different setup from the adjustable wave, and when area kayakers felt it catered too much to area surfers, well, Boise Parks and Recreation didn't hear the end of it. The learning curve for new wave technicians to create a fun and surfable wave through various water flows didn't help, either. It left a lot of river-running enthusiasts leaving the park shaking their heads.

Since it's still my day to post, I'm hijacking this post from myself (see below) to announce
AFTERTIME is out today!
By our own Sophie Littlefield, I have this to say: I loved this book. The writing is gorgeous, the language spare and precise and moving.
And it's the scariest thing I've ever read. Seriously. Sure, you think zombies and you think (or maybe it's just me): cheesy. It's gonna be high-pitched-scream in-the-theatre scary.
But no. Sophie's gift is making it real. As if it's something that could happen (AND IT COULD) in the near future, given chemical warfare and political upheaval. It got to the point where I couldn't read it at night, because the nightmares I was having were so awful. Sophie's writing is affecting. It's unavoidable. It's look-at-this-NOW writing, and I loved every scary minute of it, and the main character Cass broke and rebroke my heart, over and over again.
Go do yourself a favor give it a read. Congrats, Sophie! We're so proud of you.

The ultimate mountain adventure trail run, with five relay and solo race categories traversing from the Hatta Fort Hotel through the Hatta mountains and back.
9th November 2018, Dubai: Registration is now open for the Reebok Wadi Bih Run Hatta Edition, the oldest trail-run in the region with five relay and solo race categories. Taking place on the 9th of November 2018. Race routes will Start at the Hatta Fort Hotel and will follow an exclusive route in Hatta to a high point in the mountain before returning to the hotel.
Team 70 km
Team 35 km
Solo 35 km
Solo 20 km
Solo 70 km
The original classic relay race.
A shortened relay race aimed at families and younger runners, which skips the steep hills at the end of the course.
A 35 km solo race which traverses up and down the steep mountain road.
A shorter race for new runners.
The full gruelling 70 km race.
This new addition to our race caters to the enthusiastic kids wanting to take part from age 8 to 18.
The Relay 70 km and Relay 35 km races are for teams of five, on routes marked into stages ranging from 3.43 km to 6.35 km in distance. Individual runners must take turns to run each stage while their support vehicle transports the other team members along the course, except for the first and last stage where four members of the team are required to run together. All categories will start and finish at the Hatta Fort Hotel in Hatta, providing runners with the option to stay for the night/weekend. A race village at the hotel will provide amenities, food and several entertainment options for the whole family throughout the day.
Race Director Neil Young commented, "The Reebok Wadi Bih Run continues to be a hugely popular highlight on the running calendar due to its dramatic off-road routes. The solo races have grown from a few extreme athletes attempting 'something different', to becoming the ultimate regional long-distance running challenge with stiff competition. We urge entrants to register soon to avoid disappointment for this fantastic weekend."

Lean close and tell me what you're up to
I love that technology has given individuals the tools to strike out on their own, craft solutions to problems they care about, and (well, this part is shakier) make a living at it.
It is through this kind of massive, decentralized innovation that we'll see continued, accelerating progress of humanity.
"Lean" is what (successful) small, unfunded startups naturally are — growing both the products and the business organically and flexibly, through a rich feedback loop with customers. It's the antithesis of the funded startup that spends 2-3 secretive years getting a big-bang product out. We need those secretive companies occasionally, but get them too often.
We've also seen the rise of the "portfolio" product company. The realization that — in software and web services at least — you can both tackle projects incrementally (frequent releases) and leverage synergies of technology and customer mindshare across products to make the whole more than the sum of the parts. Google, 37 signals, Fog Creek, Geoffrey Grosenbach are inspirations at various levels of scale — it's possible to have an ongoing product portfolio down to the 1-person-company level. The book Micro-ISV is another recent inspiration for software businesses.
This is where leancode.com is coming from. But, with no customers yet to guide us — where should it go first?

Collography at Cato
On October 14th, we were lucky enough to host a workshop at the gorgeous Cato Press studios based in Easton, Bristol. It was also our very first Collagraph Printmaking workshop and it went down a treat! We spent the morning sticking and varnishing textured materials to cardboard plates to create our images. Once they were dry, we inked them up and used the big hand built press to print with.
We had such a great time there, we most certainly will be back!

Below are eight recent communications stories of note.
The 10 Best Words the Internet Has Given English by Tom Chatfield, in the Guardian, April 17.
In this article, Chatfield, a self-described etymology addict, looks at the history of ten words that are gaining new life and, in some instances, new meanings on the Internet.
The New Look of Public Relations by Stuart Elliott, in The New York Times, April 28, discusses PR firm FleishmanHillard's rebranding as an integrated marketing communications agency. The New Look of Public Relations—A Dissenting View by Richard Edelman, president and CEO of Edelman, the world's largest PR firm, in his 6 A.M. blog, May 8, looks at his firm's approach to preparing for the future.
The PR business is in flux. And agencies everywhere are trying to determine their future role in the overall marketing space and in controlling their clients' paid, earned, owned, and shared media mix. The best way for them to brand, or rebrand, themselves for this challenge is up for grabs, as these two articles show.
Solving Equation of a Hit Script, With Data by Brooks Barnes, in The New York Times, May 5.
Barnes writes that a former statistics professor thinks he can improve screenplays by comparing "the story structure and genre of a draft script with those of released movies, looking for clues to box-office success." Vinny Bruzzese is not a writer. Instead, he's interested in using data, which he gathers from focus groups and interviews with moviegoers, to suggest script changes. One screenwriter calls Bruzzese's approach "my worse nightmare."
Linguists Identify 15,000-Year-Old 'Ultraconserved Words' by David Brown in The Washington Post, May 6.
Some words are coined and then disappear in a matter of years. Even the strongest usually last only about 9,000 years before becoming extinct. But linguists have discovered a few words that have been around for 150 centuries, and they're wondering why.
Grammar Rules Everyone Should Follow by Thomas Jones in the Guardian, May 9.
Jones says that although these "rules" are really conventions not rules, they're worth following "in the right kinds of discourse" because they make writing clearer and more elegant. He is correct in eight of his suggestions, but I think he's wrong about the use of who and whom.
Trying to Be Hip and Edgy, Ads Become Offensive by Stuart Elliott and Tanzina Vega, in The New York Times, May 10.
The authors say that advertising agencies and their clients may be trying too hard to reach millennials and "to create ads that will be noticed and break through the clutter." The result: They are creating more and more offensive ads, leading to public outrage as well as embarrassment (and worse) for Madison Avenue and the brands being promoted.
The 30 Most Influential Bloggers in Public Relations on The CyberAlert Blog.
Today, there are more than 180 million blogs published worldwide on the Internet. Most have only a handful of followers, and their comments leave little or no trail. But a few bloggers are extremely influential, with thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of followers who can't wait for their next post.
CyberAlert, a media monitoring service, has identified the 30 most influential bloggers who write about public relations and social media. PR and corporate communications professionals might want to take a look at what these bloggers have to say.

An image in your email signature can become unsharp when sending even when it still looked sharp when composing.
The cause of this issue lies in the way Outlook on Windows handles your image in combination with its dpi value.
Outlook will rescale the image as if it was a 96 dpi image. Upon sending, Outlook will convert and compress (re-render) the images to 96 dpi with the new dimensions.
Re-render the image at 96 dpi
The quickest and easiest way around this issue is to re-render your images at 96 dpi.
In general, this will not produce a noticeable quality loss.
Right-click the image file and verify it's 96 dpi.

Policeman involved in crash where two nuns were killed was 'in difficult position', inquest hears
The driver of an unmarked police car which collided with a vehicle containing two elderly nuns was put in an impossible position, a coroner has said.
Sister Frances Forde and Sister Marie Duddy died when their Renault Clio was struck by a Mitsubishi Shogun on the A1 near Newry in September 2014.
At a preliminary inquest hearing in Belfast's Laganside House, coroner Joe McCrisken said the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) constable could have done little to avoid the nuns' car.
He said: "It seems to me you were placed in an unbelievably difficult position that day.
"I am not sure there's much more you could have done."
The nuns, from the Sister of Mercy Order in north Belfast, had been making their way to a retreat at the Dromantine College Retreat and Conference Centre when the incident occurred.
They both died at the scene.
Three male police officers travelling in a silver Mitsubishi Shogun were also treated in hospital for minor injuries.
Announcing his decision not to hold a full inquest, Mr McCrisken added: "I am not sure I could ever properly understand why Sisters Duddy and Forde attempted to make that manoeuvre.
"I am not sure an inquest would give us an answer."
The coroner said he had taken into account a detailed investigation and report from the Northern Ireland Police Ombudsman which sent a specialist mapping and photography team to the scene.
He also met with Assistant Chief Constable Alan Todd to discuss the PSNI's response and was "satisfied" significant measures had been put in place to limit the speed of police vehicles.
These include the placing of stickers on all vehicle dashboards and the re-drafting of a new force order, the hearing was told.
Mr McCrisken said: "It is not necessary for me to hold an inquest to answer the four statutory questions which are: who the deceased were, when and where they came to their deaths and how did they come by their death.
"Holding an inquest would be counter-therapeutic to the officers involved and to the families and friends of the two Sisters."
Among those in court for the brief hearing were Sisters Anne Brady and Paula Carron, also from the Sister of Mercy Order, who came across the crash involving their friends and colleagues.
Earlier, the Order's solicitor, Ciaran Rafferty, said they believed the matter had been "completely investigated".
Meanwhile, barrister Michael Loughrey, representing the police constable driver, said his client had been prepared to "co-operate fully" with any inquest but added: "Given the very detailed investigation by the PONI it is my view that holding an inquest would not be necessary in the circumstances and would not provide any further detail regarding the circumstances of this tragic accident."
Afterwards the two nuns embraced the police officer who had been driving the police vehicle.
The coroner expressed condolences on at the sad and tragic death of "two good women".
In a statement issued after the hearing, the Sister of Mercy Order welcomed the coroner's decision.
It said: "We, the Mercy family, are again reminded of the tragic passing of two wonderful Sisters who dedicated their lives to serving God and God's people. We remember them and the contribution they made to our each and every day.
"Our thoughts are with all those who were affected by this tragedy, especially with the Duddy and Forde families who have experienced and have had to deal with such a sudden and tragic loss."

This part contains details about the work and membership of the RE Council. The Church of England Church on Star Street, West Kensington may be credited with the formation of Fulham in 1879. Southern religion has supported a peculiar variety of spiritual pluralism within the United States, permitting for spiritual minorities to flourish.
The Indian tribes that inhabited the territory of Texas prior to the coming of Europeans in the sixteenth century engaged in a variety of non secular practices. Graduates of religion may enter any career that will profit from a robust liberal arts schooling.
There was additionally a detailed hyperlink between faith and war; there were prayers and blood sacrifices praying for success in conflict to get extra prisoners for additional blood sacrifices. This history of leisure and recreation goes far back in time, but leisure and recreation actually took off when the Industrial Revolution hit Nice Britain in the 1700s.
The Halach Uinic was also referred to as the Okay'uhul Ajaw which refers to Holy Lord/ Ruler which demonstrates the close association between the king and God and in turn State and Religion. The Roman Catholic Church and the Community of Christ (formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) provide examples of how churches use sports and recreation.
Jews turned lively in political and civic activities throughout the nineteenth century, and Jewish elected officials served all through the South.

Since the very first brew of Lab Rat in 2011, our Brewers have created Rodent themed beers to critical acclaim.
The Rat has brewed a huge range of beer styles and always experiments with varying colours, strengths and ingredients. White Rat in particular has emerged as the flagship Rat Brewery beer.
While the beer speaks for itself, the Rat artwork has been a big part of the Rat Brewery identity. Head Brewer Paul Spencer has worked with local artist Howard Hughes to produce a distinctive and diverse range of beers with quirky and often amusing rat themed names and artwork. Many of the names are thought up by the brewers themselves, but customer suggestions are always welcome!
We produce an ever changing range of small batch craft keg beers evolved from the Rat Brewery's award winning cask ale range. Take a look at some of our beers below!

Mara Connolly Taft's remarks to the Princeton Chamber of Commerce
On June 17, 2014, at Jasna Polana, the Princeton Chamber of Commerce honored four "Women of Achievement" for outstanding service to the community. They included PotLuck Society founder, Mara Connolly Taft, who was honored for her outstanding success in marketing combined with social advocacy in advancing the missions of more than 20 regional non-profits. Other honorees included J. Lynne Cannon (Chair of the Board, Robert Wood Johnson Hospital), Yvette Donado (Chief Administrative Officer, SVP, Educational Testing Service), and Courtney Banghart (Head Women's Basketball Coach, Princeton University).
Founding Steering Committee member Eleanor Horne suggested that we include Mara's remarks on our website "…as they not only captured some of her history and core beliefs, but the essence of her friendships with a remarkable group of women. In other words, she captured the essence of the PotLuck Society," wrote Eleanor. "Whenever there is a gathering of even a small part of the PotLuck Society's membership," she continued, "there is a special feeling of sisterhood and support. It is an amazing feature of being a member."
Here is the text and a photo from Mara's remarks that morning.
A couple of my friends asked me to make this short because they hadn't had enough coffee yet.
I get that…
Usually my day begins like this: "Lord, grant me coffee to change the things I can change…
… and tonight, wine to accept the things I cannot change."
I can't tell you how gratified I am to be here with you today — "thrilled" is not an overstatement.
I am so truly honored and deeply touched, to receive this award.
As Beth mentioned, it's for marketing and social advocacy.
These are two things that I've spent a great deal of time thinking about and doing in my life.
Now, I would like to share three quick points with you:
A story about Madison Avenue.
Something about this very cool place where we live.
And the idea of doing well to do good.
First, Madison Avenue. I was working at a dream job – Creative Director/VP at a big ad agency in New York.
I ran a well-known beauty account – but the agency was really supported by tobacco industry clients.
How many of you have seen MadMen? So you know: they all smoked!
At my agency, everybody not only smoked, they also all did cigarette advertising.
…Everybody but me.
My mom had just died a few years before from lung cancer.
So before accepting my new job, I negotiated to be excluded from all tobacco accounts.
Management agreed – but the meeting invitations came anyway.
I kept saying, "Sorry guys, I just don't do cigarette advertising."
Finally, my boss took me aside:
"Mara," he said, "Don't let your principles get in the way of your work."
"Don't let your principles get in the way of your work???"
That's one of the worst things a boss could ever say to a young employee.
But to me, it was so liberating.
Because now, I knew for sure that I did not belong there.
So I bailed on that dream job!
I married my husband, Pete Taft, and we left New York to start a branding and PR firm.
Where did we do that? In Princeton.
Now we're at my second point: About this very cool place where we live.
Princeton was, and is, in a word, real. Of course, to me, "Princeton" includes Trenton, West Windsor, and all the little surrounding towns.
All I knew for sure was that after MadMen, I so desperately wanted a real life.
I wanted to balance work, play, nature, fun, family, a child, and — most important —
I wanted to create a life of meaning.
To do this, I knew I wanted real friends…who did real things.
I don't have to remind you that this area is full of some of the most remarkable people in the world.
Some of them have become my very best friends.
And many of them are here today.
But they are not only my friends because of who they are —
They are my friends because of what they do.
They get wrongfully-accused prisoners out of jail.
They campaign against GMO's in the food supply.
The eliminate lead paint in ghettos.
They are proud of their gay children, and adore their interracial grandchildren.
They do so many amazing things…They make a real difference.
My friends are changing the world, and so are you — every time you do even a small thing:
Write a letter, a check. Sign a petition…
Start a conversation about some inequity that bothers you deep inside. About some wrong you wish you could right.
Because you can. You can change things. You're probably doing it now, but are you thinking about it in that way?
Which brings me to my third and final point – doing well to do good.
Pete and I had an understanding back when that we would have no satisfaction in what we did for a living unless we gave back.
We also understand that people who work for us need to do the same.
We all need soul food.
The notion of doing well to do good is what has taken me from being a frustrated advertising executive to being honored here today.
And I believe that it's also very good business.
Why? Because it's about the bottom line.
The difference is, it's about the bottom line for the world…not just for you.
A minute here…an hour there…Surely we can all afford that.
I mean, if you devote every waking hour to the Almighty Dollar, what's it going to buy you? Another pair of shoes? (Of course, it does depend on the shoes…)
So. Do well to do good.
Someone far wise than I once said, "What does it profit a person to gain the world and lose your soul?"
It's simple, really…and it's the recipe for a real life. A great life. Ask my friends.
I thank the Chamber for this immense honor…in particular PNC's Helen Okajima, who nominated me.
I thank my partner in work, as in life, Pete Taft.
To my friends who got up early: You inspire me so much!
And to my colleagues at our three businesses: Taft and Partners, ClearPoint and PharmApprove:
I promise that I will never tell you that your principles are getting in the way of your work!
And now, grant us more coffee to change the things we can.
And tonight…for what we can't change?
A nice glass of wine!
Thank you! God bless you!

Violin Sells PCIe Business to Hynix
Violin Memory has entered into an agreement to sell off their shuddered PCIe flash storage business to SK hynix for roughly $23 million and the assumption of liabilities totaling $.5 million. In late February Violin announced they'd be exiting the PCIe storage business as part of a more broad restructuring. The PCIe business never made sense for Violin anyway, who's real value-add is in their high performance AFAs, not host-side integrations.
The sale to SK hynix is particularly interesting though because Violin had partnered with Toshiba prior for the PCIe cards. Toshiba has since acquired OCZ, who offers a few flavors of enterprise PCIe flash storage and must have decided that was sufficient. SK hynix on the other hand is well known for their memory products and NAND that's integrated into SSDs from other vendors, but that's about it. This deal signals intentions from SK hynix that they want to press branded products into the enterprise space at a minimum. It remains to be seen what SK hynix does and on what timetable however.
The transaction is scheduled to close by the end of June, subject to closing conditions. SK hynix will extend employment to the members of Violin's PCIe development team.

Mckenzie Hall + Seth Catley | Oct 21, 2017
Mckenzie and Seth met at Planet Fitness where Mckenzie was working and Seth would go to workout every morning during her shift. Eventually, Mckenzie got up the nerve to ask Seth out and he said yes! The two have been inseparable ever since and dated for almost six years before it was time to take the next step. While at a party, Seth surprised Mckenzie in front of all their friends and got down on one knee and proposed. She was absolutely thrilled and of course, said yes!
Mckenzie and Seth are both Catholic so a Catholic wedding and traditional mass were definitely in order. They chose blush, champagne and burgundy as the color scheme for their October Charlotte wedding. Mckenzie has two daughters that Seth has helped raised and become a father to so it was extra special to have them take part in the ceremony. Mckenzie and her mother-in-law took over all of the décor, putting together everything from the silk flower garlands on the pews to the bouquets and boutonnieres. Mckenzie wanted to bring the feeling of an outdoor, whimsical wedding indoors and the flowers helped her achieve that look. Mckenzie's gown was the perfect shade of blush with beautiful the lace applique and the perfect fit. Her loose, braided updo and delicate flower halo completed her look. Seth's dark blue suit with a burgundy vest rounded out their wedding colors. From all the special dances (MC'd by DJ Boss Playa Productions) to a super fun garter moment, the best part of the day for Mckenzie was walking down the aisle to Seth waiting at the end. The Wallflower Photographer had the best time capturing in the couple's special day.
Congratulations, Mckenzie and Seth!

Publisher: Reverb Communications
Developers: Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Release Date: Out Now
Black Knight Sword opens in a typically Suda 51 fashion, with the main character's recently deceased corpse hanging from the ceiling of a scuzzy motel room. Inexplicably reanimating, this unnamed protagonist quickly discovers the Black Hellebore, a cross between a magical sword and a demonic entity, which transforms him into the Black Knight and sets him on a quest to defeat the evil White Princess.
The plot for Black Knight Sword was based on one of five alternate scenarios written by Suda 51 for Grasshopper Manufacture's 2011 title, Shadows of the Damned, and this shows in the game's visual presentation. Black Knight Sword closely resembles the 2D sections of Shadows of the Damned, taking place on the stage of a paper theatre in front of an ethereal audience. The characters hang like marionettes while the shifting backdrops give the illusion of movement. The game's world is a series of dingy locations populated by grotesque creatures reminiscent of the Terry Gilliam animated segments of Monty Python.
Black Knight Sword's music and sound design perfectly compliment the dark fantasy vibe of its visuals, though such is to be expected when the composer is Akira Yamaoka, one of the finest practitioners of his craft working in the games industry today.
In terms of gameplay, Black Knight Sword draws a lot on old school action platformers like Castlevania, Prince of Persia and Ghosts 'n Goblins. You progress through the game's world slaying legions of monsters and gigantic bosses while a spooky narrator unravels your exploits. Defeating enemies gains you the in-game currency of hearts which can then be exchanged for various health, armour and attack upgrades. The controls are simple and intuitive, consisting of running, jumping and melee and range attacks. New abilities are acquired by triumphing over the game's bosses and are explained as you progress.
The strange paradox of Black Knight Sword however is that one of its strengths is also its main weakness: the difficulty level. Given the esteemed heritage of late '80s and early '90s action platformers which have so clearly inspired Black Knight Sword, it could never have been expected that this would be a walk in the park. However, the problem with Black Knight Sword is that it doesn't successfully manage the line between entertainingly challenging and brutally unforgiving. The prime example of this is when you lose all of your lives; if you choose to restart after death the game will remove all accumulated points, power ups and hearts. The only way to prevent this is to exit to the main menu and reload a previous save file.
While Black Knight Sword is an enjoyable and well-presented game, its unforgiving nature may dissuade some gamers from picking up this XBLA and PSN release.

Leaving Sydney once again I tried a different route.
Cattai NP seemed worth a look. And it was.
A lot of history here.
Out through Windsor the Jacarandas were in bloom.
I stopped at St Matthews Church - Windsor to pay my respects to an Ancestor.
Then up the Bells Line of Road.
Where I got pinged on radar by a very sneaky Highway Patrolman.
Just out of Bilpin up the hill is a side road. Bilpin Springs Road.
He has a nice little spot there he seems to use a lot.
Be warned.
Mount Banks was a great view.
Then I checked out the Zig Zag Railway.
The turnoff to the Old Bells Line of Road is here.
Off to the left is The Hand Track.
Or Blackfellows Hand Track as its termed further up.
It's a great trail for a DR650.
Sandstone outcrops abound and you can feel the age of the stone.
Lots of ancient aboriginal tribal juju here. A really cool place.
Treat it with respect.
My big Nikon camera had chewed through all its batteries by this stage.
I had to resort to the iPhone 5.
Ah well.
This is the jump up on the Bicentennial National Trail above Wolgan Road.
Its a bit of a test. I got it on the second run.
Harder with a full load of camping gear.
Here's some video - Bicentennial Trail Rock step.
I got caught out here. I left my LED lights on and went for a wander.
Also my phone was on charge.
Upon my return the bike would not start.
I spent the next hour pushing it up the hill 3 times to get a roll start.
Surprising how exciting it gets rolling towards a 300 metre cliff.
I stopped at Bylong for the night. Not a bad camp.
Got to watch the Super Moon.
The mossies were punishing though.
I pushed towards Moonan and caught up with some friends.
Then on the way north to Barry Station I saw Tomalla on a sign.
Never tried that one I spose, so off we go.
I tried to push through a few green hell trails but got turned back.
Fuel was running low. I miss my safari tank.
Dilgry Circle and Thrunderbolts Trail where worth a look anyway.
The back up into Barrington Tops via Pheasant Creek Road.
The Cells Road was unreal.
I caught it in the best light and cursed my Nikons dead batteries.
But damn. What a ride.
I met an old timber cutter coming down the road.
I knew he was a timber cutter from the chainsaw bite in his chin.
He gave solid directions for me and thank god he did.
I wasn't sure where the hell I was and the sun was dropping.
The old Navman is usually pretty good. But it was clueless up here.
Anyways I made it home once again after a grind up the highway from Wauchope.
Did you know squished mossies smell like fish guts?
Thanks to Tabitha and Harrison for giving me a bed.
I was wet through after the Bells Line.

As I said in my previous blog post, I flew lots and lots of miles over three continents in the course of 2011. But when I was in Chicago, I made sure I slid my butt into a theater seat (over the objections and recriminations of friends and (ex) lovers who I ended up not seeing during those so few weekends). So I still managed to go to a significant number of shows this year despite feeling as if I lived at O'Hare instead of my Ravenswood loft. No regrets on this end, since Chicago continued to be a dazzling North American capital for live performance, with a bounty of world premieres, Chicago stops of great touring productions, and storefront theatrical treasures. Here, then, is my annual top ten list of Chicago theater:

WASHINGTON (JTA) — President Obama marked Holocaust Remembrance Day with calls to combat Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism, as well as for vigilance against current and future atrocities.
"As societies, we must stand against ignorance and anti-Semitism, including those who try to deny the Holocaust," Obama said in a statement issued Thursday. "As nations, we must do everything we can to prevent and end atrocities in our time."
Obama, who is scheduled to tour the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington on Monday together with survivors, also noted in his statement the 100th anniversary of the birth of Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who saved the lives of tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews and then disappeared under Soviet occupation.
Holocaust Remembrance Day was also marked for the first time at the Pentagon by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta at a ceremony attended by survivors and by Ehud Barak, the Israeli defense minister, with whom Panetta had been meeting.
Panetta said Barak's career as a decorated soldier and a leader was itself a rebuke to the Nazis.
Survivors helped "build a strong and vibrant Jewish state in Israel," Panetta said. "Ehud's life has been a living tribute to the memory of the Holocaust."
Visits by Barak to Washington have increased in frequency in recent months as Israel and the United States consult on how best to keep Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
The day also was commemorated by an event organized by the Holocaust Memorial at the Capitol, where Timothy Geithner, the Treasury secretary, represented the Obama administration.
In a speech at that ceremony, Michael Oren, the Israeli ambassador to Washington, likened Iran's current leadership to the Nazis, echoing earlier remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"To achieve its abominable goals, Iran is developing military nuclear capabilities and the missiles to deliver them," Oren said.
Such comparisons earned a rare rebuke to Israeli leaders from Elie Wiesel, the Nobel peace laureate and Holocaust memoirist.
"Iran is a danger, but to say it will create a second Auschwitz?" Wiesel told Globes, the Israeli business daily, when asked to comment particularly on Netanyahu's comparisons. "I don't compare anything to the Holocaust."
Congressional leaders from both parties issued statements marking Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), the chairwoman of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs committee, noted that time was running out for survivors seeking compensation from companies that profited from their families in that era.
"Insurance and rail companies have spent seven decades avoiding accountability for their Holocaust-era actions," she said, referring to legislation she has sponsored that would facilitate lawsuits against such companies. "Individuals who were children during the Holocaust are now in their eighties, and time is running out to ensure that they are granted justice."
On Wednesday evening, the Holocaust Memorial honored Burmese democracy movement leader Aung San Suu Kyi with its Wiesel Award.
Jack Lew, the White House chief of staff, presented the award to Suu, who could not attend and who sent a video message. Lew, who is Jewish, recalled growing up among survivors, and praised Suu as among those who do not turn away from difficulties in the advancement of human rights.
"She refused to give up," he said. "Instead, she continued to inspire the entire world with her faith in nonviolent action, and her belief that freedom would ultimately prove greater than tyranny."
Natalie Portman, the Israeli-born Oscar winning actress, read a passage from one of Suu's speeches.

Hojo is a boss in Final Fantasy VII encountered near the control area of the Sister Ray. Cloud and his party arrive right as he is about to give energy to Sephiroth with the giant cannon. This is the first part of a three-part battle.

Hojo doesn't attack but gets aid from his two samples, the Bad Rap Sample and the Poodler Sample, with the Capsule ability. He will instantly bring out another replacement monster if either minion is defeated.
The player should avoid wasting MP against this form, and use physical attacks to defeat Hojo. If the Samples cause problems, one can simply use Stop-inflicting attacks to keep them from attacking.

HexaTech Inc. announced today the signing of two strategic agreements with OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbH, of Regensburg, Germany.
The agreements include a long term supply commitment for HexaTech's aluminum nitride (AlN) substrates, direct support of HexaTech's 2" diameter substrate development program, as well as licensing of certain HexaTech intellectual property (IP).
HexaTech has developed a unique and valuable knowledge base for optoelectronic, high power and RF (radio frequency) applications based on its proprietary material, helping to activate and promote a significant market pull for its underlying substrate technology.
"We view this collaborative partnership with OSRAM as truly a win-win for both companies," stated HexaTech CEO John Goehrke. "By licensing our technology, OSRAM is able to accelerate their UV-C LED device development based on HexaTech's material, and we are able to focus on our core competency, supplying world-class AlN substrates."
He further added, "We're thrilled that OSRAM, a clear industry leader, recognizes the tremendous value our IP and substrates provide for UV-C applications, which once again demonstrates our belief that the best substrate material yields the best device performance."
Hans-Juergen Lugauer, Head of UV-LED Research and Development at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors remarked, "Through OSRAM's strategy of actively expanding our non-visible optoelectronic product portfolio into the UV-C wavelength range, we are poised to capitalize on this rapidly growing market segment."
"Establishing a long-term strategic relationship with HexaTech, a recognised industry leader in the field of AlN, will allow us to develop highly efficient and reliable deep UV devices, positioning OSRAM as the dominant high performance optoelectronic technology provider from the deep ultraviolet through infrared wavelengths," he added.
