Depression, nightmares, explosive rage, suicidal thoughts, personality changes, memory loss. In World War I, they called it shell shock. Now these are just some of the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. It's the invisible illness that accompanies military veterans home, and in some cases hastens their return.
Adam Schumann knows the subject well. Through three tours in Iraq he was lauded as the ideal soldier, a leader of men. Then he asked out. He could tell something wasn't right with his head. He could tell he still wasn't right when he got home. And he could tell that nobody, himself included, knew what was going on.
Schumann was featured in two exemplary books by the journalist David Finkel, The Good Soldiers and Thank You for Your Service. Now Thank You for Your Service is a movie, starring Miles Teller as Schumann and directed by American Sniper screenwriter Jason Hall. Now 36, Schumann is eager for others to understand an illness that plagues veterans by the thousands, even as it remains misunderstood by most.
"Nobody's willing to say what is," Schumann says. He sits alongside Hall and Teller in a Dallas hotel conference room. "It's an absolute illness. It's not a weakness. You're not a lesser human being for it, and we're all gonna experience it in some shape or form, whether it's through the loss of a loved one or a tragic accident or combat."
In the film, Schumann encounters a military higher-up back home. The higher-up doesn't offer sympathy. He gives an order: "Don't let our young guys see you fold." Such is the onus of veterans suffering from PTSD. Molded into models of toughness, they're not supposed to show vulnerability. Or ask for help.
Thank You for Your Service plays like a nightmare of both combat (in Iraq) and bureaucracy (at home). Schumann and his friend and battalion mate Tausolo (Beulah Koale) navigate a maze of paperwork, indifference and the occasional helping hand, all the while wondering if they're going insane. They don't get a hero's welcome home, largely because there's nothing visibly wrong with them. As Hall says, "They're not handing our Purple Hearts for PTSD."
Hall learned about PTSD when he spent time with Chris Kyle, the veteran who wrote the book American Sniper and became the center of the movie adaptation, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Bradley Cooper. "There was a lot I didn't recognize and know about our warriors coming into American Sniper," he says. But he learned quickly.
"We're biologically changed by trauma," Hall says. "Traumatic memories record differently than a normal memory. They record in a different part of the brain, and it's seared into the part of the brain that's responsible for muscle memory, things like riding a bike. Just a physical movement can trigger it, because it's stored in the medulla."
Schumann and Teller chuckle. "They get a kick out of me saying 'medulla,'" Hall says. "Well," says Schumann, "you said 'seared,' I was like, here it comes, and then you kind of swerved."
When Schumann got home from his final deployment, he didn't want to talk about any of it. That is no longer the case. Talking about it has done him wonders.
"I'm an open book to anybody," he says. "But I'm not one of those guys who's gonna walk up and start telling you my life story. If you come at me in a neutral stance and you genuinely want to know, I'll sit you down and tell you everything you want to know."
Today Schumann lives in his native North Dakota. He fishes and hunts birds with his brother and old friends. He feels more comfortable in his own skin. He can enjoy life's small blessings.
Recently, out hunting with his friends, he stopped to rest on a hill. "I laid down, put my head on a rock, and my dog laid down beside me," he says. "I looked up at the sky, watched the clouds and just really brought myself into that moment. And I realized I'm not in combat anymore and it's pretty okay."

Authors: Stephen H. Jarvis
In this development upon four previous papers [1][2][3][4], we shall finally explain the link between the idea of "time" and "energy", bringing parity between time and energy while explaining why quantum entanglement [5] as a concept is "immediate" (breaking the confines of time itself). First, we shall integrate the idea of time as energy into all the references made regarding energy in the four preceding papers, to demonstrate the consistency and greater detail available to the theory via this method of time-energy regard. Then, we shall derive the temperature of the background microwave radiation [6] in expanding upon paper 4, highlighting entropy as the cosmic microwave background radiation. Finally, we will then be able to propose the nature of the appearance of the universe of stars in this new context, through this new filter of time-energy regard.

The owner of three Parsippany construction companies surrendered to federal agents on charges that he failed to collect and turnover federal and state payroll taxes totaling more than $1 million, evaded personal income taxes on more than $1.4 million in income, and falsified reports with respect to union benefit fund contributions, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Also, three employees of the construction companies were arrested on charges including filing false income tax returns, bankruptcy fraud, and a mail fraud scheme to defraud the state of New Jersey with respect to unemployment compensation benefits. All four defendants are scheduled to make their initial appearances before U.S. Magistrate Judge James B. Clark III in Newark federal court.
Chimento Construction, Chimento Construction Services, and FAC Construction were located at 264 New Road.
According to the three complaints filed in this case:
First Complaint:
Frank Chimento, Jr., 67, West Caldwell, was the owner of Chimento Construction, Chimento Construction Services, and FAC Construction, three interrelated and commingled companies specializing in commercial masonry and concrete work (the "Chimento Companies"). From 2008 through 2011, the Chimento Companies' primary construction job was the Palmer Square project located in Princeton.
Chimento Companies allegedly operated a cash payroll for a significant portion of the wages paid to employees during the period 2006 through 2011. Allegedly at Chimento Jr.'s direction, a conspirator (CC-1) who is not named in the complaints conducted structured cash transactions at several separate financial institutions to obtain cash to fund the payroll and in an attempt to avoid currency transaction reports from being filed. CC-1 would then purportedly prepare envelopes containing cash payroll based on the hours and wage rate information provided by Chimento Jr., who, as owner, was responsible for collecting, accounting for and paying over to the IRS withholdings from employees for Social Security, Medicare, and income taxes (collectively referred to as "payroll taxes").
The complaint also alleges that as early as August 2009, the Chimento Companies have been parties to a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, Administrative District Council of New Jersey, consisting of Local Unions 2, 4, and 5 (BAC/ADC), located in Bordentown. Among other things, the CBA provided that the Chimento Companies must make specified contributions to various BAC benefits funds for each hour of covered work performed by employees of the Chimento Companies. Chimento Jr. was required to complete remittance reports identifying the employees that had performed covered work under the CBA and the number of hours that they worked. According to the complaint, from August 14, 2009, through April 30, 2012, Chimento Jr. failed to make required contributions and caused false statements and representations to be made in remittance reports.
Joseph Carsillo, 45, East Hanover, was the project superintendent for the Chimento Companies at Palmer Square. He has worked for the Chimento Companies since 2007. According to the Complaint, Carsillo conspired with Chimento Jr. to defraud the United States with respect to payroll taxes due and owing for the companies' employees. Carsillo was responsible for keeping track of employees' hours and would furnish that information to CC-1, which was used to determine the cash wages due to each employee.
According to the complaint, Carsillo received total cash wages from the Chimento Companies of approximately $167,466 during the years 2009 through 2011, which he failed to include on his personal tax returns for those years.
Second Complaint:
Frank Chimento III, 45, Verona, has worked for the Chimento Companies for more than 10 years and was one of the employees that received cash wages.
In 2007, Chimento III briefly operated his own excavation business. An analysis of his bank accounts showed payments in 2007 from the Chimento Companies totaling $85,860. Chimento III filed with the IRS a 2007 Individual Income Tax Return that was not correct as it did not include $45,860 he received from his employment with the Chimento Companies.
He also allegedly willfully did not file individual income tax returns from 2008 through 2011 although he received a Form 1099 for $100,000 in cash wages in 2008, and a total of $351,788 in cash wages during the years 2009 through 2011.
Third Complaint:
Carl J. Corso, 58, Hamilton Township, started working for the Chimento Companies on August 12, 2009.
In addition to payroll checks, Corso requested and received cash wages from the Chimento Companies with regard to his employment in 2009 through 2011. Corso disclosed to his return preparer only the wages he received by payroll check and deliberately omitted the cash payments from his personal tax returns despite knowing that the cash should have been included on these returns.
Corso is also charged with a scheme to defraud the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL-WD) with respect to unemployment compensation benefits. On November 1, 2009, Corso advised the NJDOL-WD that he was no longer working and reactivated an earlier application for unemployment benefits and was awarded a weekly benefit of $526. He collected a total of $19,988 through the U.S. mail.
U.S. Attorney Fishman praised special agents of the IRS-Criminal Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Shantelle P. Kitchen; U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General, Office of Labor Racketeering and Fraud Investigations, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Cheryl Garcia New York Regional Office, for the investigation leading to these charges. He also thanked the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, under the leadership of Commissioner Harold J. Wirths for its assistance in the investigation.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Leslie Faye Schwartz of the U.S. Attorney's Office Economic Crimes Unit in Newark.
Editors Note: The charges and allegations contained in the complaints are merely accusations and the defendants are considered innocent unless and until proven guilty.

"I think tradition is continually in a state of change, or innovation, constantly being altered to reflect the artists' life experiences. Sometimes I think I have a duty to show the world something. Our art and our culture and our language have always been changing. Innovation is the second-oldest form of tradition."
Born into a family of artists that include uncle and noted carver Walter Harris and cousin and jeweler Earl Muldon; began carving in 1970 and was trained in a four-year apprenticeship with his uncle; also attended Kitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Indian Art, Hazelton, British Columbia; and served a two-year apprenticeship under master artist, Robert Davidson. By the age of eighteen, Ya'Ya was already teaching, although he was still apprenticed to his uncle, and worked on large commissions with him. Ya'Ya's work has appeared in many exhibitions, including Sacred Circles: 2000 Years of North American Indian Art, a traveling exhibition organized by the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri; and Lost and Found Traditions: Native American Art 1965-1985, a traveling exhibition organized by the American Federation of Arts, New York.

The tan root is a twisted mass of somewhat hairy skin covering a pale flesh that is riddled with small holes, fissures and spots. Getting past its unfortunate exterior and uncovering the slightly woody stuff inside yields the reward of a concentrated celery flavor in a crisp, non-stringy and less watery form. This flesh gives great flavor to soups and stews, and is pretty good as a salad too, especially in the form of the classic remoulade.
1/3 cup Hellman's Real mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Salt to taste
2 cups shredded celery root
Combine all sauce ingredients and mix well. Add celery root and toss to coat.

In many sessions, I introduce the notion of a "risk-free asset". When I bring up the US Treasury Bill, I expect a lot of eyes to roll. After all, Standard and Poor's downgraded the US debt from AAA to AA+ back in August 2011. While that may be, when looking at CDS prices, it seems that investors still perceive the US Treasury to be pretty risk free.
Credit Default Swaps (CDS)
A quick aside on CDSs for those who are new to them. A Credit Default Swap is a swap of default risk [;-)]. It is simply an insurance policy that will cover any losses on debt, should the issuer default. Since I like to think of them as insurance, let's use an analogy.
Say that you are an insurance company and that you currently provide earthquake coverage for the Transamerica Building in San Francisco. After inspecting your book of business, you notice that you seem to be providing earthquake coverage to a lot properties in San Francisco. Should an earthquake hit the area, the losses could be staggering, as these are pretty correlated risks. In insurance, a well-established reinsurance market exists to take over part, or all, of this risk off of your books. For a premium, you can swap the risk to a reinsurance company.
The same basic principle applies to insuring bonds with a CDS. For an annual premium, usually quoted in beeps of the notional value (or insurance amount), default risk can be swapped to another company. (*)
Investor Perception of US Default Risk
The below Bloomberg Chart offers the most recent 5-year US CDS prices. In other words, this provide the costs of insuring against US default for the next 5 years.
A few things to note:
- As of 05/08/2012, doing so currently costs 41 beeps (per year), which is an annual premium of $41 for every $10,000 of notional.
- These are only 5-year prices, probably shorter in term than S&P's mindset for its rating. This means that we cannot make too direct of a comparison between the rating and CDS prices. That being said, five years is longer in term than the theoretical notion of a risk-free rate (usually one year).
- The price was in the teens prior to July 2009, showing that investors do believe that the US debt is slightly riskier now than it once was.
- The current price is not all that different from what it has been in the last few years, with no apparent spike following the downgrade.
So what? Is that high, or low? Here is a list of Sovereign CDS Prices (as of 05/08/2012). Current prices can be obtained here (CNBC).
A few things to note:
- The US CDS is the lowest on this list.
- The list is not complete. Out of the 14-AAA rated countries, only 7 are on this list: Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom.
The US downgrade notwithstanding, it seems that investors still believe the US Treasury to be the world's risk free asset (though not quite risk free).

This article is co-produced with sister column, the Flensburg Files in connection with a project being constructed.
Stop-gaps. Each language has its set of stop-gap words that people use, either as a substitute for a word they were looking for (but couldn't find it), or as a bridge in the conversation with the purpose of avoiding a pause and revealing their insecurities in communicating with other people. Many of us are guilty of using these stop-gaps, both in our native tongue as well as when learning a foreign language. Here are some examples of how they are used in English:
- In connection with the picture above, I had my final conversation with my grandmother back in January 2007 about her community's strive to destroying historic buildings and bridges, including a bridge near her home and a high school that used to be a haven for theatricals. Her reaction to the city's plan to tear down the high school: "All they want is stuff!" Difficult to replace stuff with new or modern things, but she was opposed to modernization, fighting all the way up to her death three months later. Highly spirited woman I admired. 🙂 ❤
- A former college classmate goes off on a tangent over a teenager's excessive use of "like." Example: "I was like great. We could like meet at like 7:30 at like the theatre. Would you like that?" Overhearing this in a restaurant, she paints a vivid reaction on facebook. Geil! 🙂
- A college professor stresses the importance of not using thing in a paper and was appalled to see at least 10 of these words in a 25-page paper in English. That student bawled his eyes out while receiving a failing grade, using that as one of the main reasons justifying the need to rewrite it. The professor was Czech and his student was from Saxony, who had spent time in Iowa as a high school exchange student, by the way. 😉
But the underlying question is which of these stop-gap words are really informal and used for personal communication, and which ones are formal and can be used for formal purposes as well as for research papers? In connection with a project being conducted at a university in Jena, a question for the forum is being introduced for you to think about. All you need is two minutes of your time to answer the following questions:
1. Which of these words do you use the most in terms of verbal communication?
2. Which of these words do you use the most in terms of written communication?
3. Which of these words do you think are considered stop-gaps and used for informal communication?
4. Which of these words do you think are NOT stop-gaps because of their use in formal communication?
5. Why do you use stop-gap words in English?
For the first two questions, only one word applies; the next two has a limit of five possibilities and the last question has more than one answer possible. Each one has an option where you can add other words and items that are not on the list. You have until 16 May, 2016 to vote. The results and some exercises will come in June in the Flensburg Files. In case of any questions, please feel free to contact Jason Smith at the Files, using the contact details in the website under About.
The purpose of the questionnaire is to find out how often these stop-gap words are being used and why they are used. Already there have been discussions about this subject and even the author has put together a worksheet on this subject for use in college (that will be presented in the June article). It will help linguists and English teachers find ways to modify the use of stop-gaps and (especially for the latter) encourage students of English to use other alternatives and widen their vocabulary. Interesting is to compare the use of stop-gap words in English with that of other languages, including German- one of the words has been used here in this article.
Can you figure this one out and find the English equivalent? 🙂

The Tamiment Library is a research library at New York University that documents radical and left history, with strengths in the histories of communism, socialism, anarchism, the New Left, the Civil Rights Movement, and utopian experiments. The Robert F. Wagner Archives, which is also housed in Bobst Library at NYU, documents American labor history. Together the two units form an important center for scholarly research on labor and the left.
The Tamiment Library has a non-circulating collection of about 50,000 books, focusing on politics, political theory, labor, and radical literature and art movements. There are approximately 15,000 non-current periodical titles, including proceedings of labor union conventions, underground newspapers, internal bulletins of radical organizations, and scholarly journals. In addition, the library has a collection of about one million pamphlets and ephemera, including broadsides, leaflets, manifestos, reports, and other documents. The Tamiment Library and Wagner Archives together hold archival collections on organizations and individuals in the labor movement and left history, with special strengths in the New York City region.
The Tamiment Library was originally founded in 1906 as a part of the Rand School of Social Science, a worker-education school sponsored by the American Socialist Society and modeled after the workers' school at Ruskin College, Oxford, England. The Library was named the Meyer London Library after the long-time Socialist who represented the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and only acquired its current name in the late 1970s.
From its first days, Camp Tamiment, a socialist summer camp established in 1921 in the Poconos by people associated with the School, began to support the New York institution. Between 1937 and 1956, the Camp paid from 50 to 75 percent of the School's expenses. In 1956, Camp Tamiment purchased the School, then closed it and attempted to integrate its educational and cultural programs into the Tamiment Institute. The Library remained open and was renamed the Ben Josephson Library, after the Camp's managing director. In 1963, New York University acquired the library from Camp Tamiment.
In 1977, the Tamiment Institute, New York University, and the
New York City Central Labor Council founded the Robert F. Wagner
Labor Archives to preserve the records of New York City's trade
union movement; this became the repository for the records of the
New York City Central Labor Council, its member unions and
affiliated and related organizations and individuals. A detailed
history of the library can be found here; see also Dorothy
Swanson, "The Tamiment Institute/Ben Josephson Library and the
Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives at New York University," The
Library Quarterly 59 (April 1989).
The Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA) collection, formerly
located at Brandeis University, was acquired by the Tamiment
Library in 2001. The collection is the largest and most important
resource for the study of the participation of American volunteers
in the Spanish Civil War. It includes the papers of more than 200
volunteers, oral histories, films, photographs, posters, and
selections of the microfilmed records of the International Brigades
that were taken to the Soviet Union after the Spanish Civil War.
More information on this collection, including collection lists,
guides, and inventories, can be found here.
{A comprehensive list of United States volunteers in the Spanish Civil War can be found here}.
In March 2007, the archives of the Communist Party USA were
donated to the library. The massive donation came in over 2,000
cartons, and included 20,000 books and pamphlets — some of which
dating from the founding of the party - as well as thousands of
photographs from the archives of the Daily Worker. The
library also holds a copy of the microfilmed archive of Communist
Party documents from Soviet Archives held by the Library of
Congress. [1] See
also [2]
There are a number of `Online Exhibits' at the website of the
Tamiment Library, including:
* Anarchist Collections in the Tamiment Library: Highlights from the Collections on Flickr
* CPUSA: Ninety Years of History, a Tamiment Library Exhibit on Flickr
* Labor & the Holocaust: The Jewish Labor Committee and the Anti-Nazi Struggle
* New York City Labor History Map
* Sam Reiss: An Eyewitness to Labor History, 1948-1975
* Labor Arts - (a cooperative project / virtual museum that gathers, identifies, and displays images of the cultural artifacts of working people and their organizations.)

FaithWriters.com news and information for the write-brained Christian!
"The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you.'" – Matthew 28: 5-8 (NIV)
Can you think of anything more exciting than learning that someone you love, and thought had died, has risen from the dead? I can't even imagine how Mary Magdalene and the other Mary felt at this news from the angel. Of course, as this passage tells us, they were filled with delight! The sadness and grief were suddenly gone, replaced with immense joy!
That same joy should be in our hearts when we remember our Lord is not dead, but alive and well, sitting at the Father's right hand, interceding for us…cheering us on… until that day when we see Him again. Is there anything more exciting than that?
The two Mary's were at the tomb, looking for Jesus on that first Easter morning. Be sure to read the Out of the Mouths of FaithWriters section at the end of this newsletter to see how some of our members will be celebrating Easter this year.
You may have noticed a few new additions to the FaithWriters site. New owners, Mike and Bea Edwards, are doing everything they can to make FaithWriters the best it can be…which ultimately means more perks for you! The "Old" as mentioned in this heading is not in reference to the people who make up the members! (Although, you may meet some very seasoned writers!) The "Old" is that the heart of FaithWriters has always been and will always be to help you develop, hone, and use your gifts and talents for God's glory, and to provide the tools and resources you need to do it.
But now for the "New" (and exciting) stuff…
Who better to glean from than writers and authors who have found success? Mike and Bea have been working hard to acquire interviews with well-known Christian writers who can offer insight, advice, and encouragement that will motivate you in your personal writing journey. I'm excited to announce that the very first interview has been posted on the FaithWriters blog, with none other than Philip Yancey! Click on over and join interviewer Joanne Sher as Philip reveals where he gets his ideas, how he handles writer's block, and shares his advice for new writers. http://faithwriters.com/blog/2012/03/28/interview-with-philip-yancey/#more-3658
Thanks to Mr. Yancey and Joanne for a wonderful interview! Look for more published author interviews coming soon!
You may remember that from 2004 to 2008, we had an online magazine that provided lots of great articles and showcased many of our members. Well, it has been decided to resurrect the magazine! The official re-launch will be in January, 2013. This will open up various opportunities for you, so stay tuned!
In the meantime, why not browse the archives of the magazine? You'll find hidden gems and perhaps see some names you recognize. http://www.faithwritersmagazine.com/
The next quarter of the Weekly Writing Challenge begins on April 5. And now there are two more reasons to upgrade your account and enter! (As if you need any more).
- Currently, the Weekly Writing Challenge is divided into four quarters per year, each with a residing "theme." But some members have expressed their desire for non-themed quarters, to break things up and add a little intrigue. So, starting right now, the 2nd and 4th quarters will consist of non-themed topics. Plus, the Editor's Choice winning entries for each topic will be featured in the FaithWriters Online Magazine! The 1st and 3rd quarters will remain themed, and winners will be published in a future FaithWriters book.
- Starting with the first topic of the new quarter, the first place Editor's Choice winner each week will receive $20 cash! Is that awesome, or what? What a wonderful reward for a job well done!

Have you ever read something on the FaithWriters site, but can't remember where you saw it? Or perhaps you're looking for a specific term or topic or author and don't want to wade through pages of content. Well, now you can simply type the word or phrase in the Google Search Bar at the top of the Member Login page and…Voila! There it is! Just another valuable tool that will save you time and make browsing the site a little easier, too!
In the March newsletter, members were asked to provide their answer to the following question:
Here are a few of the responses:
"After a worship service, "whosoever will" comes to my home for ham and turkey and all the trimmings - usually 30 to 40 people. We follow dinner with an egg hunt, with 200 eggs for all the children!" - Michele Smither
"Losing your only child to a murder on Easter is hard to bear, especially when Easter falls on the anniversary date of the murder. So this year I will remember a slain son, with the remembrance of a risen son..." - Ms. Candace L Jordan
"On Good Friday I will go to church to remember that Jesus Christ went to the cross for my sin. On Easter Sunday I will go to church again with God's people to rejoice that Jesus rose from the dead, conquered sin, and death, so I and all believers can reign forever with Him." - Dorothy Moffitt
"I'll be worshipping in a couple of local Protestant churches and writing up a holy storm." – Ian Dennison
"It is sad to admit, but my favorite part is after we finish finding the Easter eggs, we have a war. Be careful... Easter eggs hurt." – Elizabeth Axley
"For starters, I'll attend "Son rise" service, then come home for a huge Sunday lunch with family. Then we'll read the "real" Easter Story, so the kids will understand why we celebrate, then hide eggs. There is no Easter bunny at my home." – Sarah Catoe
In honor of Mother's Day next month, I'm posing a fun and creative question:
SUM UP YOUR MOTHER in 7 words (or step-mother or something who is "like a mother" to you)
Email your 1-2 sentence response to [email protected]. Then check the May newsletter to see if your answer was selected to appear!
P.S. Check out the new Jesus Page on FaithWriters:
This page is a work in progress. If you have something you believe should be on our Jesus page, please let Mike know at [email protected]. This site is being built with EZ2buildsites. Build and maintain a site through ez2buildsites.com and receive a 25% rebate on your FaithWriters membership fees for every year you keep the website.

Plans to separate SRL from parent company Fortis through a scheme of arrangement and amalgamation are not blocked as of now and the matter is under consideration by NCLT, a Fortis Healthcare Ltd spokesperson told ET.
The tribunal is also hearing arguments by Japanese drug maker Daiichi Sankyo to block this demerger and has not made any final decisions on their intervention either.
Following the SC directions to maintain status quo with regards to Fortis Healthcare Holding Pvt Ltd's shareholding in Fortis Healthcare Ltd for four weeks, NCLT has decided to defer the hearing on the demerger until October 10.

The director of Led Zeppelin's forthcoming concert film Celebration Day has seemingly scotched hopes that the band will reform.
Last week (September 21), the surviving members of the band – Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones – made a rare public appearance to discuss the movie, which is a concert film of their 2007 show at the London's 02 Arena.
But according to Contact Music, filmmaker Dick Carruthers, who directed the flick, has said that talk of the band reuniting detracts from the movie – and he also claimed that there hadn't been any conversations about any further reunion shows.
"I do think the whole will-they-won't-they go on tour thing preoccupies far too much of the media's attention. This really isn't about that," he said.
When asked if there had been any talk about another reunion since he filmed the 2007 show, he replied:
Let's put it this way, it hasn't happened in the last five years since the reunion show.
The band themselves had been evasive during last week's press conference when pressed on the possibility of coming together again for more shows. When asked if the 02 show had excited them enough to regroup once more, Jimmy Page answered, "Can I just ask you all if you enjoyed the film?"
When the journalist in question retorted by asking if he could have his question answered, Robert Plant replied, "That would be kiss and tell", and the band also completely dodged a question regarding "how crazy" the amount of money put on the table with regards to any future shows was. You can watch the press conference in full by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking.
Celebration Day will screen in cinemas from October 17. The film will then get a general DVD release on November 19. A deluxe edition will also include footage of the Shepperton rehearsals, as well as BBC news footage.
The tracklisting for Celebration Day is as follows:
'Good Times Bad Times'
'Ramble On'
'Black Dog'
'In My Time Of Dying'
'For Your Life'
'Trampled Under Foot'
'Nobody's Fault But Mine'
'No Quarter'
'Since I've Been Loving You'
'Dazed And Confused'
'Stairway To Heaven'
'The Song Remains The Same'
'Misty Mountain Hop'
'Whole Lotta Love'
'Rock And Roll'

Our Beliefs
Put very simply, our beliefs are what the Bible teaches.
We believe the Bible is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16-17) and that it is all we need in religious matters. Therefore we have no need for and do not subscribe to any man-made creeds, catechisms, doctrines, synods, councils, or anything of the like. The Bible alone is sufficient; God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).
We know (and can prove) that God exists. Just as the Bible says, the Godhead consists of God the father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit. These are three different personalities who possess the same nature. God is spirit (John 4:24). The Lord our God is one (Deuteronomy 6:4). God is the One Who created the universe and all that is in it, including mankind (Genesis 1). He is worthy to receive glory and honor and power (Revelation 4:11).
Truth is objective and not subject to the whims or emotions of man. What God has revealed will remain true regardless of man's reaction to it. We may agree or disagree with it, but we shall be judged by it (John 12:48). No one can be saved unless he possesses a love of the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:10).
Salvation comes to us by the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). His love and mercy have made it available to us, but we must respond in a positive manner to His gracious offer. We must have faith in God (Hebrews 11:6) and in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 8:24). Sin causes us to be separated from God (Isaiah 59:1-2), and thus repenting of our sins is absolutely essential in order for us to be saved (Luke 13:3). God has ordained that all who believe and are willing to repent of their sins should be baptized in order to have them forgiven (Acts 2:37-28). Then, Christians must live faithfully unto death (Revelation 2:10), observing all that we are taught in the New Testament as best we can (Matthew 7:21-27).
Worship cannot be according to what man likes or prefers; it must be according to what God has commanded. He wants people to worship Him in spirit and in truth. While a fervent attitude is necessary, worship must also be according to truth. The worshipers of Baal appear to have been sincere (1 Kings 18), but they were not worshiping the right being. Those living in the northern kingdom of Israel were worshiping Jehovah, but not as He had commanded (1 Kings 12), and God took them into captivity as a result of it (2 Kings 17:21). Only worship that is according to the truth can honor God.

CHINESE NEW YEAR HOLIDAY - from 15.01 - 05.02 no delivery from China / EU warehouse continues to ship
Many Chinese shops require a shipment back to China for each repair. Not with us: TradingShenzhen successfully relies on the services of our repair service Reparatur.guru. The advantages are obvious: you can send the device to a German address, where professionals can look at your device. The best: All employees speak German and understand without Google Translate. Misunderstandings due to bad translations are not an issue. Many defects can easily be repaired in Germany. This saves costs for the sending and return and nerves during the reimport and above all other things: time.
Processing time of up to one day
Not every customer has a second smartphone at hand to bridge lengthy repairs in China. The experience with Reparatur.guru shows that: our customers receive their smartphone back in 9 out of 10 cases twice as fast again, as a repair directly from the manufacturer. Depending on the defect, devices can be repaired on the first day of repair. The lead-time, during which you cannot use your smartphone, is thus pleasantly short. Should it take longer, contact us: We offer our customers a free rental handy service. This means every customer has the right to a loaner device. This may be used by the customer over the entire repair and will incur, apart from the return costs within Germany (4,99 €), within Europe (13,99€) no further costs.
Highest standards
At Reparatur.guru, your device is in good hands. In the past years, our partner has been able to prove himself with top of the line repairs that no manufacturer could have done more quickly. The Reparatur.guru team has many years of experience in the smartphone, tablet and even notebook repair. The repair professionals are very well equipped to make your device whole again.
Reparatur.guru uses first-class equipment and materials to make your smartphone, tablet or notebook work as it should on the first day after a repair. Has your smartphone ever suffered from more rather than less defects after a repair? This will not happen to you with our reliable support partner. A team with strict quality control will do everything possible to solve your repair order to your full satisfaction.
And that's how easy it is:
If your device is still in warranty, TradingShenzhen will pay for the repair. Your device is a bit older? No problem: Even after the warranty expiration, we will not let you down. In case of repair by our partner Reparatur.guru, you as a TradingShenzhen customer will get a discount on all repairs.

Have you ever wanted to repay your parents for all they've done for you? Then a tropical themed date night is perfect! Your parents will love you for it. And you don't even need to make a booking at any fancy restaurants!
Part 1 of 4:
Arranging the Date Night
1Find where they will be having their date night. If you have a pool, maybe you could set it up beside the pool. Or you could set it up in the garden.
2Make the invitations. You could do a pineapple shaped invite, or a palm tree, or a coconut. Anything tropical!
3Decide on the date. Make sure it's a time that suits your parents, but don't give away too much! If they ask you why you want to know, just tell them that your best friend was going to give you a call on that day and you wanted to make sure you had nothing on.
4Give your parents the invites. Tell them about your plan for the date night. Just make sure you don't try to give them the invitations say, when they're doing the vacuuming, or typing an email, etc.Advertisement
Part 2 of 4:
Planning the Date Night
1Pick the music. If you have an iPod, you could download some songs onto it that are sort of Hawaiian.
2Get the food. Next time your mom goes shopping, ask her if you can come along too and explain that you need to get some food and things for the date night. Hopefully she'll agree. If she doesn't, just see what you've got at home.
3Get the decorations. If your mom said yes to you getting what you need for the date night, then look in the party section of the shop. Get little umbrellas (decorations that go round the stem of a wine glass), drink stirrers (you can get them in the shape of palm trees), and most importantly, straws. Also get the ingredients you'll need for the food you'll be making, and maybe even a bunch of roses for your dad to give to your mum at the end of the date night!
- Get the decorations that add to the theme. While you're out, ask your mom or dad if you can go to a dress-up store. Explain again about the date night and how you need to get stuff for it. If they say yes, go to the store and look for things like fake grass skirts and plastic leis. If you have any siblings, let them in on the date night plan as well.
Part 3 of 4:
Decorating for the Date Night
1Put the decorations up that you've purchased and/or made. Hang them wherever the decorations would look most appropriate and add to the tropical atmosphere around the dining area.
- If you have the date night up to a table, scatter shells on it; if your neighbours have a hibiscus bush, ask very politely if you could have maybe two or three hibiscus and explain what they're for.
2Make signs. And you could even make a table number too. All you need to do is get a straw and cut two slits in it, then get a piece of cardboard and cut it into whatever shape you want. Decorate it, then write the table number on it. Slot it into the straw and push a wad of poster tack onto the bottom of the straw so that it can stand up.
3Add other tropical things too. There are tiki torches and things like that, available at hardware stores. Little solar LED garden lights aren't expensive either and can look good. If you buy these lights before the date, they'll be all charged up and ready for when the night comes.Advertisement
Part 4 of 4:
Managing the Date Night
1Assign jobs to your siblings. All of you could wear grass skirts and have plastic leis and little notebooks to jot down your parent's orders. Remember that you need to have a chef and a waiter.
2Write the menus. Get sheets of paper and write all the menu items on it. Decorate.
3Welcome your parents to their date night. When your parents come to the date night, take them to their seats, say 'Aloha', and give them each a plastic lei.
4Serve your parents the food during the night.
5Let your parents enjoy the night!Advertisement

Ask a Question

Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered.Submit
- When you choose the music, don't pick what you like best. Remember, Taylor Swift and Avicii are not exactly Hawaiian songs.
- You don't have to set up the date night at a table. You could set it up on a picnic blanket in the garden if you wanted to.
- When you're cooking in the kitchen, watch out for hot water and always be careful when using knives.
- If you have any siblings that are younger than seven, include them but don't let them use knives or boil water and keep an eye on them in the kitchen.

American Express Latest to Invest in Kiip
American Express has made a significant investment in Kiip, a company that connects brands and consumers through mobile rewards and contests.
Kiip is the brainchild of 22-year-old Brian Wong.
Wong, like so many people involved in the mobile ad industry, thought that his company would make money by running ads between levels of mobile games. But he noticed the many game players were paying for in-game boosts which bypassed the ads.
So he decided to eliminate the ads between levels and replace them with in-game offers for game boosts and extra lives. And the company is now becoming a major player in the industry.
Amex isn't the only company showing its support. Interpublic Group has joined the venture capitalist opportunity as well. This is in addition to the support the company has already had from Verizon Wireless and other sponsors.
The company has $15.3 million in capital, and Wong has a team of 55 employees working on the development and distribution of Kiip.
Wong issued a statement about the boost from Amex, saying, "We're excited to celebrate with Amex, as one of the most recent investments under their newly formed venture group…Amex's strategic investment model is a unique one that supports entrepreneurs and builds the right connections at the right time between both parties."
With the help of some good ideas and continued funding from big companies like American Express, Kiip is likely to be a worldwide success.

Reading the Beatles: Cultural Studies, Literary Criticism, and the Fab Four
Despite the enormous amount of writing devoted to the Beatles during the last few decades, the band s abiding intellectual and cultural significance has received scant attention. Using various modes of literary, musicological, and cultural criticism, the essays in Reading the Beatles firmly establish the Beatles as a locus of serious academic and cultural study. Exploring the group s resounding impact on how we think about gender, popular culture, and the formal and poetic qualities of music, the contributors trace not only the literary and musicological qualities of selected Beatles songs but also the development of the Beatles artistry in their films and the ways in which the band has functioned as a cultural, historical, and economic product. In a poignant afterword, Jane Tompkins offers an autobiographical account of the ways in which the Beatles afforded her with the self-actualizing means to become less alienated from popular culture, gender expectations, and even herself during the early 1960s.

Boston Market | February 2009
In January nearly every worker in Boston lost his job! Only in a science fiction movie? No, only in the United States.
If every job eliminated in the United States in January (598,000 pink slips) were concentrated in Boston, only 10,000 out of 608,000 residents would still be employed!
After the most job losses in one month since 1974, the jobless rate in the United States surged to 7.6 percent.
IT Unemployment
None-the-less, there are patches of green turf in this near-apocalyptic vision. If you are an information technology (IT) worker, you are less likely to lose your job and stay unemployed. According to InformationWeek the unemployment rate for IT workers has risen to less than half the national average -- 3.2 percent.
Of course, IT workers are not immune to layoffs in Massachusetts. However, technology workers with the right skill sets are seeing an increase in job postings for the first time in more than three months.
Boston Market -- February
The Top 20 Web Technologies in Boston has been updated for February and appears in the right-hand column. Even though Punxsutawney Phil reported six more weeks of winter, some thawing has occurred as green arrows returned to more than half of the skills indicating a selective increase in job postings for those skills over the early January job postings.
The most interesting observation to report is that open source technologies have yielded to Microsoft technologies in this the opening quarter of the 12-month long 2009 IT Super Bowl. Specifically, LAMP technologies open the year with the following declines:
- 12% | Apache
- 09% | MySQL
PHP has dropped out of the Top 20 Web Technologies in Boston.
Replacing PHP is a rookie named SharePoint, a Microsoft technology that allows teams to collaborate. When Office mates share data, that data is stored in and retrieved from a SQL Server database. The biggest ground gainer of the month belongs to Visual Studio, a Microsoft development tool used to create Web applications. The Web development language of choice for Windows and Web applications is C#.
Here are the Microsoft stats:
- 78% | Visual Studio
- 20% | SharePoint
- 04% | SQL Server
First Round
In the first round of a scheduled 12-round title bout between Dynamic vs. Static web site development, the dynamic team comes out on top, especially the team headed by Microsoft. Currently, there are nearly three times as many job postings for Visual Studio tool set users as for Dreamweaver tool set users:
- Visual Studio | 71 job postings
- Dreamweaver | 24 job postings
Training Opportunities
So, here are several cost-effective training opportunities for Web developers in February and March.
First, consider attending jQuery | An Overview from the Developer on Wednesday, February 11. jQuery recently received major street cred when Microsoft agreed to incorporate the technology into its Visual Studio Web development toolset.
Second, consider attending SharePoint Saturday Boston on Saturday, March 14.
Both events are sponsored by Microsoft and both are FREE.
Finally, if you still consider learning a Microsoft technology to be the Boston equivalent of rooting for the Yankees, consider picking up a Head First training manual:
Barnes & Noble is currently offering these newly released guides at 40% off (plus and additional 10% for members).

oOoOO is the pseudonym of the San Francisco-based Christopher Dexter Greenspan, the enigmatic electronic musician who has been producing lush and hazy sounds by dissecting, sampling, and choping and screwing pop music. His last EP, Our Love is Hurting Us with collaborator Butterclock's dreamy vocals, is a soft and ambient collection of hypnotic songs. With a new album dropping before the summer and a European tour kicking off, the Tri Angle signed artist is continuing to produce sweet tracks and maintaining his mystery.
Do you always work late at night?
Yeah, I am up until like 6 or 7 in the morning these days. I work better at night, if I am up during the day I find excuses to go out and never get any work done. At night there are no possible distractions really. Everything closes early in San Francisco so after 2 I have nothing to do but work.
That's kind of a poetic take, making music during nighttime.
Yeah, it's really nice. You just feel like you are in a blank space and your ideas can come alive better. I feel more focused.
How important is the internet to you in terms of communications?
Yeah the internet is hugely important to what I do. I mean I've thought about getting a little studio to work in that has no Internet connection so as not to be distracted. But often, I spontaneously think of a sample or a sound I would like to use and I need to go online and snatch it. So it's just not practical and without the internet to do my "networking" I would be nowhere.
It must be super handy for sampling and such. And that's how you met Laura Clock?
Yeah, exactly. We met back in the MySpace days. We sort of mutually discovered each other's music and started an email conversation about working together. We were exchanging tracks via email before we'd ever met. I mean we had a couple nearly finished tracks before we even spoke on the phone.
She is great live.
Yeah, I LOVE her shows. She is really great live. I'm glad she is finally releasing a proper record because hopefully she will start getting more shows. In my opinion her, performances are her biggest strength. Its rare to see good live shows these days.
I was actually curious about of what you would sound like live when I saw you at Glasslands in November. There were discrepancies between your live show and the recording. It was heavy and spooky and ephemeral. But I do look forward to hopefully hearing you with Laura one day.
Yeah, thanks. I try to not just play back the tunes as they are on the recordings, but it is very difficult trying to come up with something seamless because unlike a lot of other electronic "laptop" type shows, my tracks all have very different tempos and feelings, so instead of trying to hide that, I accentuate it and make the show a bit jarring and disjointed.
But I like playing with Laura a lot. And I am actually singing a bit on my new record, so I am maybe gonna try and do some "singing" myself at shows this year. I don't know though, I am working on it.
As an electronic musician, considering you have experience playing instruments, how does it differentiate from performing with a laptop? I wonder if there is a certain bias against electronic musicians?
It's strange to be doing shows with a laptop, because it's not really something that comes natural to me. I don't even know how to use Ableton at all, for example. To do what I do live, I use a couple of other programs in this really awkward kind of way. On my recordings, I use real guitars, real bass guitars, and even real drums sometimes. It's not just software at all. So a lot of songs don't really make any sense in the context of a laptop set. Some songs, I haven't at all figured out how to perform them in that context and in any case I want to do something different.
At the end of it all it's really all about the atmosphere and conveying a feeling right?
Yeah definitely. I suppose it doesn't matter if you are using a laptop or have an orchestra. There are plenty of ways to get a mood across.
A lot of times musicians rely on just turning the lights off and kind of having this already pre-packaged environment.
At the same time though, there is something really refreshing about an artist like Zomby, who seems to just hit play on his iTunes and stand there while the song plays. It is refreshingly honest and kind of looks defiant in the face of all of this pointless knob twisting that is really doing nothing anyway.
So what's your next album going to be like?
The new record there is even more guitar and live instrumentation, so it will be really hard to perform it live with a laptop. It's an LP and I feel like it's really close to being finished. There is some of what people would expect there, and quite a bit of what people wouldn't I suppose. It has two really distinct sides to it: a sort of lighter, pop side and a more muddy, distant, more instrumental side. It feels more like a concept than a collection of songs, which is new. I am so close to it and spend so much time with it at the moment that I can barely see it.
But we should definitely expect vocals?
Yeah, vocals for sure, both original and sampled. I have been working on it in bursts of about a month at a time when I am home since maybe May. But this past month and a half has really been a breakthrough.
What helped the breakthrough?
Just being at home for two months straight really helped and locking myself away. I learned more in the last two months about "production", than I did in the last year and a half. So I had to go back and rework all the songs from earlier in the year according to what I've learned.
What's your creative process like?
There is no process. Sometimes I sit down and force myself—completely uninspired—to work on music. Other times I am just walking around somewhere and I get an idea and I have to run home and sort of work it out before it goes away. A lot of times I just have a certain mood or feeling I want to create but have no idea how. I just try different instruments, tempos, approaches, etc. until something approximating this mood starts to show itself.
So how did your name come about? It's funny because to prove whatever witchy cred people have is to be able to say your name the right way.
It was meant to be the absence of a name actually. Just some emptiness in place of a name. I always thought most band names were really corny for some reason, like a bunch of mild mannered musicians think they are in a gang or something. I just wanted to create a mood that had no name. It was never meant to be pronounced because I never thought anyone would hear the music, let alone SAY the oOoOOs outloud.

Speakers and speechwriters can use this several ways:
- Analyze your own speeches: Cut and paste text, or enter the URL to a link to your speech, and Wordle will show you just how much you repeat certain terms. How much weight are you giving to particular topics, themes or vocabulary? Are you using repetition strategically--or unintentionally?
- Check out previous speeches: If you're a speechwriter, the same resource lets you visually and quickly compare which words and terms your speaker uses most...or not at all. If someone's writing speeches for you, point them here to analyze your recent talks. Booking a speaker and want to know what she will emphasize? Wordle a few recent texts of speeches to find out.
- Learn from great speeches of the past: Want to know what made Eleanor Roosevelt's speeches sing? Got your hands on a compelling transcript? Enter some historic texts into Wordle to gain perspective.
- Share your themes: Just as I've done here, Wordle lets a speaker have a compelling, short image to summarize a talk or presentation. Now that's some abstract! Under its Creative Commons license, you can share the image (with credit, as I've done below) or post it to the gallery on the Wordle website; link codes are provided so you can share it with attendees and others on your own website, blog, Twitter feed and more.
If you've done a Wordle analysis of a recent speech and want to share the link, post it in the comments, below. I'm looking forward to sharing more of these clever visual looks at speeches with you in the months to come. (Image courtesy of Wordle.net)

Split Oak Press looks for writing that tells us how to live, no matter who' s doing the telling or who did the living. Death row inmates and revolutionary educators, untested writers and lifelong practitioners, uncertain lovers and belly dancing enthusiasts, those of proud heritage and those imprisoned by ethnicity, hopeless drunks and drunks who haven't yet lost it, the uncompromisingly principled and those who are open for suggestions, the writer of unadorned prose and even the career poet all have things to say and things to teach. Everyone's stories can be moving. We publish anyone who can write them that way.
Since we are a small, independent press, we have the luxury of enjoying this everyman experience intimately with each poet and author, working closely to hone their strengths, develop their aesthetics, and help bring their wisdom of living to bear, fully, on anyone reading. Our passion and our purpose is to bring otherwise unspoken lives to the audiences who need them.

Goodwill created a mobile campaign as part of a rebranding effort that would connect with a younger audience and encourage donations. The campaign used location-based data to identify people who were likely to do spring cleaning and geo-fencing to identify people who lived near Goodwill locations. Once the audience was pinpointed, Goodwill targeted them with a mobile game. In the game, users could tap on clothing and household items as they fell from the ceiling and learn about Goodwill programs through facts and trivia questions.
Objective and Context:
For over 110 years, Goodwill has worked to enhance the dignity and quality of life of individuals and families by strengthening communities, eliminating barriers to opportunity, and helping people in need reach their full potential through learning and the power of work. Goodwill's objectives for the mobile campaign were to encourage donations and raise awareness around how the revenue from the sale of donations helps fund workforce-related programs in local communities. Its main challenge, however, would be rebranding itself to engage with a younger audience.
Target Audience:
The campaign targeted four main audiences:
Creative Strategy:
Goodwill's agency, Verve, designed a creative experience around Goodwill's message of "Donate Stuff. Create Jobs." A playful banner message about cleaning up one's bedroom floor expanded to a rich-media game where users could tap on clothing and household items as they fell from the ceiling. Throughout the game, users learned about Goodwill programs through facts and trivia questions. After three rounds, they were encouraged to make a donation by immediately finding the nearest location or downloading the Goodwill Locator App to find a donation center in the future.
Overall Campaign Execution:
Mobile advertising allowed for the collection of location data, which is powerful because it is based on consumers' physical real-world activity rather than on proxies such as media consumption or browser activity. Location provides the strongest association to what is relevant to consumers in the moment, providing context for behavior, interests, activities, and future purchase intent.
Verve developed patented methodologies, refined over a decade of engineering effort, to allow fast and accurate determination of a device's precise location, which could be matched against a finely curated database of tens of millions of points of interest and paired with the characteristics of the user. This enabled Verve to build exclusive audiences that fit specific profiles to align perfectly with an advertiser's intended consumer.
Mobile Execution:
This was a mobile-only campaign; therefore 100 percent of the overall budget went to mobile. The combination of gaming and trivia isn't common in mobile advertising, and it is especially rare in non-profit campaigns. This tie-in to location and mobile was extremely important in helping Goodwill extend its reach beyond traditional media outlets, attracting more relevant and diverse audiences.
The campaign achieved its objectives and goals. With engagement results two to three times the industry average, it exemplified how the combination of engaging the right audience and building a memorable creative experience delivered on Goodwill's objectives.

The Southern California Academy of Sciences is an important part of the scientific community of southern California, and it is an honor and a privilege to serve as its new President. Over the next two years, the Board and I plan to enhance the visibility, membership, and advocacy of the Academy, which is entering its 126th year.
In 2017, SCAS will break from tradition and host its Annual Meeting as a one-day event on the campus of Santa Monica College on Friday, April 28 – so save the date! Symposia themes for 2017 are: Freshwater Systems; Rainforest and Tropical Ecology; and Marine Coastal Ecology. As usual, the Contributed Paper presentations will include a variety of topics ranging from Parasitology to Marine and Terrestrial Ecology. We will then cap off the one-day event with a Poster Session that will include, for the first time, our Junior Academy members.
If you have scientific papers to publish, please remember that the SCAS Bulletin publishes papers by members without page charges. The goal of the Bulletin is to report on research activities of SCAS members, scientific research conducted in southern California, and research that is of interest to the membership.
Thank you to outgoing SCAS President Julianne Passarelli for her hard work and steady leadership. Special thanks also to longstanding Board member Ann Dalkey, who, after many years of service to the Academy, has provided invaluable perspective and structure to the Board. Finally, a big thanks to the entire SCAS membership, which includes junior academy participants, university students, environmental professionals, and scholars, whose continued support make it possible to further the goals of our Academy, as well as promote fellowship amongst the southern California scientific community.
Congratulations and welcome to three newly appointed Board members: Mia Adreani of California State University Northridge, Kristy Forsgren of California State University Fullerton, and Karina Johnston of the Bay Foundation. Kristy and Karina also have agreed to serve as officers (Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer, respectively), as has longtime Board member Lisa Collins (Vice President). We are grateful for their support. Are you interested in joining the Board – if so, let me know!
In case we haven't met yet, I have been an active member of the Academy and joined the Board in 2012. As an Associate Professor (Teaching) of Environmental Studies in the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, my teaching is focused on marine environmental science and sustainability, which include hands-on learning and research experiences in the classroom and temperate and tropical field locations.
I believe the research, scholarship, and professional development opportunities offered by SCAS can greatly enhance the future career choices of students at all levels of their academic career.
Thank you for your continued participation in and support of SCAS! We hope to see you at the April 2017 Annual Meeting!
David W. Ginsburg, President

Colourful Parade closes St John 2016 Festival
CRUZ BAY, St John, USVI — The St John 2016 Festival ended on Monday July 4, 2016 with a colorful parade, and later that evening with fireworks commemorating Independence Day, and a finale Festival Village night that closed with the legendary Krosfyah band out of Barbados.
The island's j'ouvert morning event, which happened at about 7:00 a.m. and lasted just over an hour, was nothing to scuff at, according to Consortium reporter Ernice Gilbert.

There are no signs of festival in the BVI. Our friends from across the seas said that they can lend the BVI participants to take part in our parade. I think we may have to take them up on their offer. From how things are looking right now it does not seems as if we are having anything at all. The only things it seems as if we are going to have is horse race on the Tuesday. This is a crying shame. We have allow our country to come to nothing. Last year was garbage and it would seems as if it is going to be the same this year. I noticed that St. John everyone came out to support, young, in between and the senior citizens of the USVI were all in St. John yesterday. I am praying that we can at least get our act together.

Some of the characters on show in drawings and paintings put together for The Northern Renaissance: Duerer to Holbein at the Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace come straight from the pages of Booker prize-winning novelist Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, with Martin Luther, Thomas More and Henry VIII playing key roles.
Works by Albrecht Duerer, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Francois Clouet, Leonardo da Vinci, Hans Holbein the Younger and others capture images of people and convey some of the drama from an intense period of religious, political, artistic and philosophical upheaval which convulsed North Europe.
Co-curator Kate Heard said in front of a drawing of Thomas More's family that widespread knowledge among visitors to the exhibition of the grisly end which awaited people such as More and his family added a certain frisson to the show.
"When you look at a portrait of [Thomas] More, you can't take out of it what happened to him," Heard said. "It's wonderful to feel almost as if you're meeting people you know well."
More, who rose to become Henry VIII's chancellor was executed in 1535 for refusing to recognise Henry's divorce and the English's church's break with Rome.
As well as the period drama's British actors, the show also tracks the artistic changes across Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries, including innovations in technique as well as technological advances, such as the improvement in oil paints in North Europe, which eventually made its way to Italy.
The show capitalises on a royal collection which is astounding in its breadth and treasure with more than 120 paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, armour, tapestries, miniatures, as well as gold and silver cups.
A small room off one of the galleries contains books edited by thinker and humanist Desiderius Erasmus, More's Utopia and a signed copy of Henry's attack on Luther, Defence of the Seven Sacraments against Martin Luther.
"There is enough to make a major contribution to the story of this time," co-curator Lucy Whitaker said of the collection, which is owned by the British monarch.
The show explores other places besides Henry's court, where Hans Holbein arrived in search of work and patronage from a Germany riven with a religious division that would disenfranchise artists normally commissioned for altar pieces and other religious themes.
It trundles through 15th and 16th century art in the Netherlands – including Pieter Brueghel the Elder's Massacre of the Innocents, has a section on drawings by Duerer – including an eight-piece Apocalypse series – and also examines art in the Holy Roman Empire.
The Northern Renaissance: Duerer to Holbein is on at the Queen's Gallery from November 2 to April 14. – Reuters
