WKU's Department of Educational Administration, Leadership, and Research is pleased to congratulate the first graduating cohort of its recently-revised principal certification program. This week members of Cohort 1 completed the final core courses of the program. Once they have successfully passed their licensure exams these principal candidates will be fully eligible to seek administrative positions in schools.
In recent years the Kentucky Educational Professionals Standards Board directed WKU, along with all other state-approved university programs, to make significant changes in its principal certification coursework. As a result, EALR adopted a new cohort-based principal training model utilizing hybrid (online/face-to-face) learning and a heavy focus on practical field-based experiences, all with a major emphasis on the role of the principal as instructional leader.
Cohort 1 began core courses in Fall 2013, completing their program 18 months later. Cohort 2 launched in Fall 2014, including 37 new principal candidates, and EALR anticipates approximately 18 incoming principal candidates in Cohort 3, which will begin Spring 2015.
Cohort 1 includes 15 outstanding principal candidates representing 9 school districts:
- Andrea Diggs, Jefferson County Schools
- Annette Fackler, Meade County Schools
- Rachel Fairman, Simpson County Schools
- John Gray, McLean County Schools
- Ashley Hayes, Jefferson County Schools
- Ashley Hendrick, Barren County Schools
- Gena Jeffries, Hardin County Schools
- Sandra Light, Bowling Green Independent Schools
- Nicole Lyons, Warren County Schools
- Joey Norman, Warren County Schools
- Susan Pfefferman, Warren County Schools
- Jon Porter, Allen County Schools
- Dan Robbins, Hardin County Schools
- Carlos Quarles, Warren County Schools
- Shawn Quinn, Warren County Schools
EALR congratulates these aspiring school leaders for their outstanding efforts in completion of their Level I principal certification coursework. They served as worthy pioneers for the new program format and set a high standard of excellent for future cohorts. We look forward to hearing of their great successes as they move into the next phase of their careers.

If you've got any onions handy, be prepared to blame them for the glistening tears that will attack your eyes when you see this sweet video. A 10-year-goat, named Mr. G, was rescued from a hoarder, along with his pal, a donkey named Jellybean. The two had lived together for a decade and were best friends. When they were rescued, along with other animals, from squalid conditions, they were each placed with sanctuaries -- separate ones. It was clear from the moment Mr. G went to his new home that he was not going to be happy with this arrangement. In fact, he became startlingly depressed.
Staffers at his new home, Animal Place's Rescue Ranch, said that the goat refused to eat. He also slumped in a corner, stared off into space, and wouldn't move and barely lifted his head. Staff actually had to pick him up and carry him around to make sure he didn't spend too long in one spot.
Finally they realized the truth: Mr. G was desperately depressed over the loss of his friend, Jellybean. Feeling that he would starve himself to death unless drastic action was taken, the staff decided to go get Jellybean. It would take three days to bring the donkey to the sanctuary, and they'd never had a donkey before, but they knew it was either that or watch Mr. G starve himself.
The two finally reunite. Seeing how instantly Mr. G's entire demeanor changes when he sees his friend reminds you how much animals do feel.
Isn't that amazing how he immediately began eating again -- and had to share his buddy's bowl?
We like to think animals don't have complex emotions. It gives us the detachment we need to do the horrible things we do to them. Like keep them in cramped, dark enclosures for their entire lives and then kill them. Experiment on them. Use them for food, clothing, etc.
If you don't feel all warm and fuzzy watching Mr. G and Jellybean's reunion, well then, there may be no hope for you.
Do you believe animals have feelings like we do?

On September 4th, 2010, I married my best friend. Now, almost a year later, I can't believe how much we have grown. How could I have made the leap then without knowing what I know now? Love gives you a confidence that is unparalleled. When talking to my dad about marrying Lia, he told me never to forget that love is not one person giving 50 percent and the other giving 50 percent, it's both of you giving 100 percent. Now that I look back on our first year, I realize that he was absolutely right, and that the only person who I would be able to do that with was indeed Lia.
Marriage is a bizarre thing. So many books, movies and songs deal with the subject matter, though nothing can really prepare you for it. No self-help book can teach you how to be a good husband or wife. No movie can unlock the secrets of a man's mind. No song can teach what is in a woman's heart. These things are learned from experience and experience alone. Everyone is different in his or her own strange and beautiful way. On September 4th, 2010, I had no idea what I was getting into. All that I knew was that I wanted to get into it with Lia.
As a kid growning up in Wilmington, NC, I always tried to picture who my wife would be. Some famous person I assumed (because, of course I would be famous as well). We would live in New York or LA, I would be making movies, and she would either be acting in them or working on her singing career. Life would be awesome because we would be loaded rich doing crazy things. I would have an enormous swimming pool in the backyard and have a convertible parked in the driveway. It would be perfect, the life of my dreams.
But I got something better. I got Lia, the most real, honest, funny, and smartest person I have ever met. We are not famous; we get to eat our humble dinners by ourselves without being bothered. We don't have an enormous house in which we would get lost and hardly see each other, we have a modest townhouse with one couch that is just slightly too small for both of us to lie down on (even though we do anyway). I don't have a lavish car in the driveway, I have a car that is just slightly unreliable, thus forcing us to share a car at least once a month and carpool to work. My life is not the life of my boyhood dreams, but it is most certainly perfect, and I would not choose any other.
They say that the first year of marriage is the hardest, which excites me to no end. Sure our first year had its fair share of disagreements, maybe even a fight or two. But overall, it has been the best year of my life. And they say it is just going to get better? Well then I'm gonna say something that will most certainly make Lia roll her eyes:
Hell yeah!

European family heritage marries Southern charm in Kate & Edgar's fairytale wedding
Kate Chaplin Lawson & Edgar Murray Smith - June 10, 2017 • Kingston Presbyterian Church & Private Residence
When Scottish heritage and Southern charm perfectly align and marry as a theme on a summer's day, it's destined to be a storybook wedding.
And such was the fairytale wedding of Kate and Edgar Smith on June 10, 2017, which began with a lovely ceremony held at Kingston Presbyterian Church in Conway. Paying tribute to their Scottish lineage, both bride and groom had the Murray and Bell clan tartans hung in the choir loft to represent Edgar's ties to Clan Murray and Kate's ties to Clan Bell. Edgar, his son, and his brothers also each wore a Murray tartan pocket square. Kate's father and brother followed suit, each wearing a Bell tartan pocket square. Peggy Gaudreau, a local bagpiper, provided Scottish music during the ceremony.
The reception followed at the Conway home of Kate's parents.
"I have always wanted to get married in my parents' backyard," says Kate. "My mom was married at her parents' house, my brother was married here and Edgar proposed to me here, so it's a very special place."
After dating for three years, Edgar popped the question in the backyard during a Christmas card photo shoot with Edgar's children. After Kate's sister-in-law, Cara, took the family photos, Edgar said he wanted to take one last picture with Kate, and instead got down on one knee.
More memories were made on the day of the couple's outdoor reception, thanks to the Southern ritual of burying the bourbon to ward off bad weather on the wedding day, as well as to the mother of the bride, Alys Lawson, former mayor of Conway.
"I can't say enough how it call came together, 100 percent because of my mother and her sisters," says Kate. "They even hand-tied the bridesmaids' bouquets."
But that wasn't the extent of Mom's handiwork. She was integral in making Kate's dreams for a romantic blue-and-white-themed summer afternoon garden party come true. Blue hydrangeas growing in the backyard, Kate's favorite, were plucked and placed into an assortment of vintage blue-and-white centerpiece jars donated by friends and family. Blue-and-white floral china, lace tablecloths thrown over tables shaded by ivory parasols, a custom-made Victorian duogram and more winks of blue accents under the large tent completed the backdrop for the big day.
"It all came together for my dream wedding," says Kate, who looked exquisite in her ethereal ball gown-style wedding dress.
Finishing touches included the food catered by Kate's aunt and uncle, Darren and Cyndi Smith, owners of Rivertown Bistro in Conway, and music provided by the band Backporch Orchestra, who played everything from acoustic bluegrass during cocktail hour to popular hits with a dance beat.
Kate's advice for brides who would like to echo a blissful wedding day like hers?
"Thanks to my mother, I did not get stressed out, but, truly enjoy your day," she says. "Enjoy it! Spend time with your family and your new husband."
After a honeymoon in Scotland, of course, Kate and Edgar returned to Savannah, where they live and both work as attorneys, with the firms Hunter Maclean and Fisher Broyles, respectively.

Saint Juan Diego
About Saint Juan Diego
Ever wonder who the first indigenous American to be canonized into sainthood was? Well it was St. Juan Diego and his birth took place in July of 1747. His place of birth is Calpulli, Mexico. Since he is the first indigenous born American to be named a saint, he is remembered as their patron saint.
Saint Juan was expected to do as his parents told him when he was growing up. He was told to tend to the fields his parents had and to cultivate the crops there to be sold at a local market. Juan saw a vision one morning while on his way to daily Mass. A voice came down to him from above and started telling him to follow it. Saint Juan listened to the voice and obeyed it's wishes until it led him to the top of a hill that was fairly close by. There he saw an Aztec princess, dressed in typical attire of the Aztec royalty.
Juan was informed that he was to start the production of a church on the hill that they stood on. The vision claimed to be the Virgin Mary, and told him to consult his local bishop about getting the work on the church started.
Juan Diego took this very seriously, as he should have, and ended up going straight to his bishop to talk. His bishop gave him a hard time though. He would not believe Juan without concrete evidence that he was not lying. Juan had nothing of that sort, just his good word, so he headed back to the hill to see if the Virgin Mary was still there.
A man stopped Juan on his journey and brought some bad news to him. He told Juan his uncle was about to pass away. Juan was grief stricken and did not know what to do. He chose to go be with his uncle, but on his way to the house Mary appeared to him once again. She said that his uncle would be watched over and would survive. Juan trusted Mary and headed back to the hill.
Mary had told Juan to get to the highest possible location the mountain held. When he reached the location Juan found a large number of flowers growing on the frozen tip of the mountain. He brought these flowers to the bishop to show proof something strange was going on at that hill.
Saint Juan succeeded in showing the bishop something was really up because when he dropped the flowers onto the desk in the bishop's office, an picture in the likeness of Mary showed up on his chest. This was all the bishop needed to see to believe Juan.
The bishop and Juan organized the construction of the church, and it was started relatively soon after the incident of the Virgin Mary on Saint Juan's chest. That church went on to be famous for the number of indigenous people it sucessfully converted to Christianity. Sadly, Juan Diego died on May 30, 1548. Saint Juan Diego wasn't canonized until 2002 when he was canonized by Pope Juan Paul II.

THE INITIAL REPORTS WERE WRONG? The New York Times and other outlets are saying that the initial report from CBS News, apparently from an initial report from TMZ, were wrong? "But about an hour after the CBS report went online, the Los Angeles Police Department said it could not confirm his death, setting off mass confusion on social media over Mr. Petty's actual condition. Mr. Petty, 66, had been taken to a hospital after going into cardiac arrest at his home in California, TMZ reported. But while TMZ had also reported that the singer was unresponsive and had been taken off life support, it never reported that he was dead."
WTF? Please, please let the news be wrong and that Tom Petty is alive, and makes a full recovery.
GONE WAY TOO SOON. It's impossible not to delve in cliches. Tom Petty has died.
I've always enjoyed Petty, and while I wouldn't call myself a huge fan, I was a fan, and was always curious about his anything new he did and loved that he kept making new music. I'd be hard-pressed to find a song of his that I didn't like. Just a huge mainstay in the American rock songbook – how many songs of his remain in constant rotation at rock radio? Are considered absolute classics? Just start with "American Girl" and keep going.
One of my favorite Tom Petty songs, "The Last DJ"…

Working to Rebuild
We met the family of a Marine through a caregiver who was already enrolled in our Wounded Veteran Family Care Program. The family (including 4 children under the age of 11) was facing a dire financial situation. The veteran, like many others, had left active duty service without realizing the toll his combat experiences had taken. As such, he had not enrolled with the VA Health Administration, nor been evaluated for any service-connected issues. Eight years later, he experienced a total breakdown at work and wound up at the local VA Medical Center. He entered into an extensive treatment program

The M.Sc. in Technology and Learning was jointly initiated, designed and developed by the Schools of Education and Computer Science & Statistics. The course addresses areas such as creativity, critical reflection, collaboration and meta-cognition through the active design, construction, use and evaluation of a range of learning technologies. Course learning activities and themes are research led and are closely aligned with the on-going research activities of the Centre for Research in IT in Education (https://www.scss.tcd.ie/disciplines/information_systems/crite/crite_web/).
The programme is offered on a part-time basis over two years. It is composed of taught modules and a research project in year one, and the completion of a research methods module and a substantial research dissertation in year two. The research project in year one and the research dissertation in year two, normally involve the design, implementation, and evaluation of an advanced technology enhanced teaching and learning experience with end users.
The course aims to meet the needs of 21st century learners, teachers, instructors and researchers in the context of the Knowledge Society, by providing its students with the opportunity to participate in a research led Masters programme exploring the integration of technology and learning. The focus for the students is on technology mediated transformative learning experiences.
On the educational side, graduates of the course gain understanding of the theories of learning that are relevant to the use of technology and will have a realistic view of the enhancements to teaching and learning that technology can facilitate. On the technical side, graduates of the course gain a good knowledge of the principles and practice of E-learning amongst other. Although aspects of computer programming are touched upon, it is not an aim of the degree to produce people who can program.
The primary goal of the M.Sc. programme is to equip graduate students with an integrated set of skills that will allow them to develop their professional careers in the area of technology enhanced learning. The programme not only presents the state of the art in the design, implementation and evaluation of technology mediated transformative teaching and learning experiences but, it also prepares students to embrace future developments in the field.
The focus of the programme is on skills that are not normally imparted to students during their undergraduate years and that will develop graduates' capacity as leaders in the field.

World Cup snub for Zanetti
By Graeme Bailey
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Javier Zanetti has confirmed that he will not be going to this summer's World Cup finals.
Javier Zanetti has confirmed that he will not be going to this summer's World Cup finals.
The Internazionale star was hoping to be included in Argentina's 23-man party - but coach Jose Pekerman has confirmed to him that he will not be travelling to Germany.
"Pekerman phoned me and told me that I will not be travelling to the World Cup, but I knew it already most of all from the press," said Zanetti.
"This was said more than a week ago that I wasn't going to be included in the list. This hurts me but it's one of the things that happen in football.
"Nobody has told me anything about what I did wrong for not being in the next World Cup.
"I am calm because I know that I did my best, I have always been ready for the national team each time that I was called.
"The only one that knows why I will not play the World Cup is the coach.
"I am going to be from now on more than ever the fan number one of Argentina."

Illustration Friday - Tea
Okay I need to catch up on some blogging. I've been really busy gettin' my promo cards to the printer. I had another caricature order. Now, I'm trying to get my little one's 1st birthday celebration underway. All of this and I'm nursing the kids back to health from a bad cold. I sure could use a cup of green tea myself with a cup of homemade chicken soup. I'll think I'll go grab some right now! But, first I must see what my fellow IF bloggers have been up too.

Using Satis and Packagist for PHP Development? Think JFrog Artifactory!
If you're developing server side code in PHP, there's a pretty good chance you're using PHP Composer to manage your dependencies and getting 3rd party components from Packagist. To host your internal private packages, you might be using Toran Proxy or your own Git repository. You might even be using open source Satis for your repositories.
Well, guess what. Your life just got easier. Why?
Because Artifactory now supports PHP Composer repositories. That means it can proxy and manage the dependencies you need from Packagist, and host your internal packages and index files on private PHP Composer repositories. Sure, Toran Proxy may answer some of your needs for managing your PHP dependencies, but there are many capabilities that you can't get until you move to Artifactory. Here are a few.
You might be using Composer for your PHP development, but someone else on your floor is using Bower for front-end development, and somewhere else in the building, your DevOps are providing virtualized environments with Docker. How many different repositories should you have to maintain to support your different development environments? The answer is ONE!
First and foremost, Artifactory is a universal artifact repository which means that it supports all major package formats. But what about builds and continuous integration? Some teams might use Maven with Jenkins CI, others might use Gradle with TeamCity, while yet others may even use a cloud CI provider. The good news is that Artifactory supports all these scenarios. It works seamlessly with all common build tools and CI servers, so regardless of how your development ecosystem is constructed, Artifactory can sit in the middle, hosting your internal packages, and being your one-stop-shop for packages from any external resource.
Smart Search and AQL
An enterprise artifact repository can quickly grow to host millions of artifacts, and finding that one specific file you happen to be looking for can easily become that needle in the binary haystack.
Artifactory makes search both simple and yet sophisticated. From the simplest search based on inherent properties like name and creation date, through search based on properties (including custom properties), to searching for artifacts based on their checksum, Artifactory offers many different ways to find artifacts. Then, there's Artifactory Query Language (AQL), the search super-hero. AQL gives you a simple way to formulate queries to any degree of complexity making it easy for you to hone in on that needle using any number of search criteria, filters, sorting options and output fields. AQL effectively turns your repositories and metadata into a goldmine of information that previously could not be utilized. Try searching for PHP packages downloaded from Packagist that have a dependency with a license that is not "Apache". You can only do that with AQL on Artifactory.
Enterprise-grade Repositories
Satis may host your internal private packages, but how well does it support cross-team collaboration? What if you need to work with another team in one corner of the globe, and then, your QA team is in another corner of the globe. And then, how stable is Satis (or Toran Proxy for that matter). Has it ever gone down or been unavailable? As your dependency manager, it's critical for your development teams and build servers. And then, where are your packages hosted? Oh, of course, on your file system. How many terabytes can your file system handle? How complex is it to add storage when you need it? Artifactory has answers to all these questions.
First, let's talk about global collaboration. Through support for multi-push replication, Artifactory keeps repositories synchronized across multiple dispersed sites, so teams working in different parts of the globe effectively see the same artifacts in their working repositories. Now, let's talk about availability. Artifactory can be deployed in a high availability configuration using a redundant server architecture which provides up to five-nines availability. With no single-point-of-failure, even if one server goes down, the others are there to continue providing service to all users. Finally, we get to storage. Artifactory offers unmatched capabilities for storage, so your object store effectively has infinite potential to grow as much as you need it to. Whether it's through filestore sharding capabilities, or cloud-based object store (AWS or GCP), Artifactory's support for object store lets your repositories scale massively as your business grows.
That only scrapes the surface. I could go on to talk about things like remote and virtual repositories, user management, integration with corporate authentication systems like LDAP and Active Directory, SSO, SSH, OAuth authentication, user plugins, GPG signing and much more, none of which you could get from Satis or even Toran Proxy. For real enterprise-grade repository management when developing PHP with Composer, you need Artifactory.

Guest Article: B2B marketers should exploit online opportunity
Dhiman Mukherji discusses India's online ecosystem, consumer engagement through social media for B2B players and more
India's online ecosystem, in the last few years, has witnessed a spectacular jump in terms of usage, primarily due to rising adoption of platforms and reduction in cost of access. The internet has gradually become a very significant part in the lives of Indian users.
From consumers to businesses, internet has enabled instant communication with a wider audience. Status updates, location based information and the creation and sharing of content has, among other online activities, endeared consumers to brands online and vice versa. This has led brands to actively adopt the online medium as a high impact engagement platform.
Even though it was always easy to establish an online presence, brands have now realised the difference in having a static online embassy and one that is constantly in engagement mode and the benefits that lie therein. Consumer engagement through social media has been around for some time and is now overly active. If you're a B2C marketer and haven't boarded the social media bus yet, you probably need to play catch-up.
If B2C marketers are already online in full strength, their B2B counterparts are still in early stages of leveraging the online opportunity. Companies such as Cisco India, SAP India, Huawei and Trend Micro have successfully gone online to build active B2B marketing programs. With the internet having minimal barriers to entry, B2B businesses from SMEs to large scale enterprises have the potential to scale up its online presence and growth tremendously.
For B2B brands, aversion to move away from the tried and tested strategies has long acted as a barrier to experimenting with the online platform. These brands are built on credibility, trust and long-term relationships and that is what drives top of mind recall with their core audiences. These factors of credibility, trust and long-term relationships are also relevant from an online perspective and helps create a level of comfort for marketers – B2B or B2C – when making the transition to social from traditional media.
With the fast-paced evolution that the online world has experienced over the last decade, business as a whole has moved from being transactional to being built on one-on-one relationships. This has been made possible purely because of the nature of the medium. For business to happen, especially on a medium where people typically haven't met, there needs to be a high level of credibility to drive trust.
Once trust is established and sustained, it is easy to earn leads and drive business conversions.
An often asked requirement of B2B marketers is the quality and quantity of leads that social media can generate. Indian professionals on LinkedIn generated 149 million business leads in 2011. And with a local member base of approximately 57 per cent decision-makers, the qualitative nature of such leads is in little doubt.
In the B2B marketing ecosystem where time is critical, the fact that professionals can easily connect with each other, irrespective of location, makes it even more beneficial for marketers to choose this platform and engage with relevant audiences. This bodes well not only for large scale enterprises but also SMEs on the rise, looking to stretch every rupee in their budget.
In a survey on B2B marketing spend in the online space, it was seen that while mid-sized companies still have to establish themselves on social media, the transition for majority of small and large businesses has already taken place. Why is this happening? For small businesses, it is usually the affordability factor, while for larger players online, this is the space their audiences are increasingly spending more time at. But for mid-sized companies, before taking what they perceive as a risk, the challenge lies in understanding the platform and value for their brands by having well defined objectives. However, the potency and value of social media can only be realised once used over a sustained period of time.
A term that is fast becoming a critical part of social media strategy is 'Big Data.' Due to the unprecedented growth that internet usage is experiencing, there are vast amounts of data that people are generating online. This very data is now empowering brands and marketers with user driven insights to customise its approach to brand building. B2B marketers leverage these insights to tailor every piece of content in their marketing communication efforts to make it even more relevant to specific individuals.
Unlike other forms of marketing where display ads form the core of the engagement program in the online space, B2B marketers can structure their communication and choose options such as audience polls or customise groups to drive forward their engagement. Engagement through these channels has been successfully used by power brands such as Philips and Microsoft to strengthen thought leadership positioning with an influential audience.
B2B brands operate in a highly competitive environment. Having a limited audience reserves a brand's reach while also allowing competitors into the playing field for mindshare. Even though lead generation and establishment of thought leadership are achievable, those playing the long game need to be focused on customer retention. If retained through the right engagement approach, B2B marketers can benefit from the opportunity of brand advocacy by cultivating a community of professionals who are highly educated and in decision-making capacities.
India has always had the tendency to skip adoption of technology by generations. This is evident from the fixed line versus mobile phone growth story. That said, as the proportion of digital natives increases among the next generation of professionals, B2B marketers need to be quick in making the shift from cold calling in large numbers to targeted engagement, and from individual interactions to building communities of like-minded brand advocates and experts online.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said that his regime will allow international inspectors full access to its chemical weapons sites, but added that rebels could prevent them from reaching certain locations.
"I'm referring to places where gunmen exist. Those gunmen might want to stop the experts' arrival," Assad told Chinese state TV in an interview recorded in Damascus on Sunday.
Assad said that his government would comply fully with the terms of a Russian-brokered deal which would see Syria hand over its chemical weapons stockpile to international inspectors, as a way of avoiding western military intervention.
He said that his government will ensure that experts arrive "at the places where we produce and store our chemical weapons."
On Friday, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) confirmed that the Assad regime had met a deadline to hand over data concerning its chemical weapons stockpile. The Russian government had previously warned it could remove its support for Assad if he did not comply fully with the terms of the deal.
In the Sunday interview, Assad also dismissed a draft resolution by western states threatening military action in the event his regime does not comply with the deal, saying he was "not worried."

There are some people who are always for half-measures. People who are scared shitless of the consequences. People who think they are better than me. People who offer half-baked advice and housewifish opinions. People who want to tell me what to do. What they don't know and what they cannot understand is that they must learn from me. But they are not doing this, because they think they know better. These people are beginners and dwarfs in comparison to me. They cannot insult me even if they tried. These people can lick my ass. I will smack them in their face if they tell me what to do. These people are mad. They are a bunch of idiots. They deserve to be treated as pieces of shit. They are lunatics who belong in asylum. Assholes and fucking idiots who should be locked up for life. Somebody needs to hit them in their face. These madmen should be put in their place where they belong. They should stop bothering and interrupting me. They are so stupid and ignorant that they don't care about anything and they care even less about me. Their questions are meaningless and not my answers. These people don't exist for me. Continue reading

In front of Umberto Eco it is better to be two – How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read
A couple of days ago I saw on YouTube a very strange discussion on books between the Italian intellectual virtuoso, professor Umberto Eco, French psychoanalyst and a fellow professor Pierre Bayard, and the American-Austrian master conversationalist, writer Paul Holdengräber. "Nothing strange about that," you would say – "That's perfectly normal. Just three intellectuals having a random chat and building their legacy, so to say – engaging in a vanity spectacle". And, yet you would be dead-wrong on this. Something really strange happened on that stage and I cannot yet fathom exactly what. If you have about 90 minutes of your precious time to sacrifice on this mystery, go watch the whole thing for yourself. In the very beginning you will notice that the Frenchmen is accompanied on stage by a woman, whom he introduces as his translator for the event. Mind you, he does this while speaking in excellent English. And now the stage is set and the show can begin. He continues talking in his excellent English without the service of the charming interpreter sitting to his right. But then, perhaps, something characteristically psychoanalytic happens – as soon as the Frenchmen has finished his verbal performance and a slimy question is put to him by Holdengräber or a comment said by Eco, he directs his attention to the translator, who immediately and dutifully starts providing a French translation. Audience and fellow speakers seem to be baffled at first as if to say, how dare this arrogant Frenchmen make a public mockery of us? But then as the evening rolls on, they become genuinely amused and entertained (though Eco at one point seems particularly annoyed) by the whole charade. Everyone present in the room knows fully well that the Frenchmen understands what is being talked about and even contributes greatly to the substance of conversation, yet for some strange reason – when confronted with a question or a remark – he chooses to hide behind the feminine translator. It leads me to the obvious conclusion (and this, by the way, also is openly admitted by Bayard in the early stages of the conversation) – translation is only secondary. The primary reason to have a translator on the stage with him is because "in front of Umberto Eco it is better to be two". One is not enough. But two is already too much. Hence, the awkwardness.
At the very end (at 134:10 minute mark) of the spectacle, the moderator Holdengräber opens the floor for the questions from the audience. As this happens, Eco silently whispers: "My God". See all this and much more for yourself.

Government Responsibility for Highway Defects
Programs and educational campaigns that are designed to keep on reminding drivers about the importance of observing road safety rules, as well as laws that will help reduce the number of car accidents and keep injuries minor, are constantly created and implemented by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Though drivers are the primary targets of these programs (because records show that about 90% of car crashes are due to driver error), the NHTSA makes sure that all others who can affect road safety comply with safety standards, like car manufacturers, or are provided their needed guidance and assistance, like state and local government agencies, specifically those that are responsible in the construction and maintenance of roads. This is due to the fact that drivers are not the only ones at fault in car crashes; car manufacturers and agencies involved in the construction and maintenance of roads, highways, bridges, interchanges and other related structures, can also, at times, be held accountable in road accidents.
Specifically providing support to "State and local governments in the design, construction, and maintenance of the Nation's highway system" is the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), an agency within the US Department of Transportation. Through the FHWA's Federal Aid Highway Program, financial and technical assistance are extended to State and local governments, to help ensure that "America's roads and highways continue to be among the safest and most technologically sound in the world."
This is because construction and maintenance of roads and highways are the responsibilities of States, municipalities and cities. These branches of the government are expected to construct safe and technologically sound roadways, as well as repair highway defects, like missing or poorly constructed guardrails, poorly lighted streets, traffic signs blocked by trees or other fixtures, wrong or missing road signs, lack of railroad crossing lights, roadway debris, uneven pavement, and potholes.
Drivers, who fail to notice potholes or roadway debris and drive over these, can lose control of their vehicle and possibly end up in an accident. States, however, are said to be immune from any form of liability, despite injuries during an accident. This immunity is based on the doctrine called "government immunity" or "sovereign immunity."
Despite the great difficulty in suing the government and holding it liable for all the damages and losses suffered by a victim due to the need to prove that it is guilty of gross negligence, there is nothing that says it cannot be done.
On its website, the Sampson Law Firm strongly emphasizes that victims of car accidents, whether due to careless drivers, vehicle defects, or dangerous roadways, should not have to pay for the costs of a car accident that occurred through no fault of their own.

15 Features Of Dupont Registry Auto Subscription That Make Everyone Love It | dupont registry auto subscription
What does $10 actor attending like? Like this 1931 Bentley race… (Orlando Sentinel, Steven…)
Image Source: carssporty.online
November 11, 2010|By Steven Cole Smith, AUTOMOTIVE
Walking forth the affectation of 120 beneficiary cars, alignment from tiny two-seat BMW Isettas to massive Rolls-Royce limousines, it's accessible to brainstorm that the billowing abridgement hasn't affected the hundreds of car owners at the Annual Winter Park Concours d'Elegance in Orlando.
As an investment, assertive segments of the beneficiary car bazaar accept suffered, while added segments — abnormally at the top of the bazaar — assume unaffected.
"There's a $10 actor car here," says Thomas duPont, who helped begin the appearance nine years ago and continues to sponsor it. DuPont is the administrator of the duPont Registry, a advertisement based in St. Petersburg that lists hundred of beneficiary cars for sale, as able-bodied as added articles that may address to aerial rollers, such as underground affluence storm cellars and $7,000 watches.
That $10 actor car, incidentally, is a 1931 Bentley 8-liter, an ultra-rare chase car endemic by Gale and Henry Petronis of Orlando. Yet the massive Bentley aloof blends in with the added beneficiary cars, caught by armed guards or alike a clover rope.
Best of us accede "resale value" back we buy a vehicle, but those who advance in cars are acquisitive for a longer-term adjustment by selecting a archetypal that appreciates in value.
The November duPont Registry has 200-plus pages of collectible cars for sale, alignment from a auto fabricated from a Boeing 727 assembly army on a bus anatomy ($1 million, and includes a chauffer for a year), to a Mercedes-Benz S600 ($119,900) congenital for the Sultan of Brunei with 3,400 pounds of armor added, appropriately able to "withstand attacks from handguns, advance rifles and armor-piercing aggressive hardware."
Ford Heacock III, admiral of Heacock Insurance Group in Lakeland, instituted a analysis of the aggregation alleged Heacock Classic, which insures beneficiary cars for 30,000 audience beyond the country. Heacock, himself a beneficiary who is currently abating a 1953 Jaguar XK120, says that Florida has a decidedly alive car community. The altitude is an accessible advantage, acceptance for year-round active and assuming beneficiary cars, as able-bodied as the aerial cardinal of retirees who brought their hobby, and their cars, to Florida.
Heacock founded the Lake Mirror Archetypal Auto Festival in city Lakeland in 1999, and the accident admiring about 100 cars. "At our aftermost accident in October, we had over 700," Heacock says. "The accord in shows is a acceptable barometer of how the beneficiary car amusement is doing, and I'd say it's appealing advantageous in Florida."
Heacock says that while beneficiary cars are acutely an investment, "It's an advance apprenticed by affection for best of us." The abatement in the abridgement has aching collectors aloof as it has anybody else, he says, but that affection has kept best of them involved. It has additionally resulted in an upturn in assertive segments of the beneficiary market, as some of his audience with money to spare, borderline about the approaching of added accepted investments, "are 'parking' some of their money in archetypal cars," Heacock says.
Decidedly hot, say duPont and Heacock, are the absolutely prime, high-dollar cartage that are absolutely authentic, and may accept "provenance." That agency that there is article that sets them afar — they are the aboriginal or aftermost of their kind, they won a accurate race, or they may accept been endemic by addition notable. These are cartage that about go for $200,000 and up.
Added segments of the beneficiary car bazaar haven't fared so well, authoritative it a "buyer's market," Heacock says. In general, "muscle cars," such as the Pontiac GTO or Plymouth Road Runner from the 1960s and aboriginal 1970s, accept apparent a "correction" in their amount of as abundant as 30 percent, Heacock says. Some cartage in the artery hot rod bazaar accept alone as abundant as 50 percent in value.
Abnormally hard-hit, duPont says, are cartage that accept been customized, or contrarily afflicted to clothing a accurate owner's aftertaste —- acme cut off, aboriginal engines replaced with a altered engine, interiors that accept been upgraded and modernized. The further a agent beasts from its aboriginal condition, the added the resale amount is acceptable to suffer.
So what should collectors buy? "It's like arena the banal market," duPont says. "If you aren't a able with 18-carat acumen into what you're buying, what adventitious do you accept of scoring big?" So duPont counsels his readers to buy cartage that beggarly article to them as a aboriginal antecedence — a car you've consistently admired, or the alike of one you or a ancestors affiliate endemic years ago — again second, as an investment. "If you don't apperceive the market, get admonition from addition who does," duPont says. And attending for a clean, aboriginal car from a acclaimed seller.
If your beneficiary car increases in value, great. But if it doesn't, "You'll accept article you adore driving," duPont says, "or at atomic admiring."

ChoozOn – Social Networking Goes Shopping
Facebook is mainly for personal network designed for casual social interactions with friends and other peers. Although the concept that Facebook built around was successful, it does not target specific niches and is more for the general public to use. So a trio of former Yahoo executives took this as an opporunity to build a new specialized social networking website, ChoozOn.
The website will begin operating early this summer. It is focused on shopping discounts and sharing and receiving them from brands that the users themselves choose to connect and communicate with. A great convenience that ChoozOn offers is that users will be able to organize and manage their daily deals and discounts that is picked and highlighted for them by the website itself, based on his or her tastes and preferences. And when users share their shopping and brand preferences, the retailers can customize specific discounts for them.
Co-founder and CEO Nick Weir comments on ChoozOn, "We're creating a whole new network where people can manage their deals, their affiliations with brands they like and loyalty programs they belong to and the subset of friends who are their shopping pals. We felt there is a tremendous opportunity in the online marketplace for consumers and brands alike to create some type of way for everyone to communicate in a beneficial way."
I have a strong feeling that this website is going to be big. Who doesn't love discounts brought to their doorstep, really. What do you think?

It's all in the preparation
The secret to a perfect finish is to sand the surface prior to finishing. The more care taken with preparation, the more finish will penetrate the wood, providing an even, consistent and long-lasting finish. Studies have proven sanding can extend the life of a finish by up to 3 times compared to an unsanded surface.
What does sanding do?
Remove mill glaze
Mill glaze occurs when heat from the milling and kiln drying processes bring water soluble extractives to the surface, causing a glaze-like finish to form. Mill glaze can be removed wih a simple sand, allowing the pores underneath to breathe again and accept finish more readily.
Create an even surface
Sanding takes away any small differences in surface texture which may not be visible at first glance. It stands to reason that an uneven surface will pick up finish in some areas more than others. An unsanded texture will also be exposed to more traffic in certain areas and will collect dirt and moisture in ingresses. Sanding will create a smooth and flat surface allowing finish to penetrate consistently across the surface area and withstand footfall much more evenly.
Deeper porosity
Along with removing the mill glaze, excess fibre and uneven surface, sanding opens up the pores of the wood, allowing finish to penetrate deeper into the cell structure of the wood.

I don't know if this makes any sense, but the introduction of big name producers Flood and Alan Moulder into the Foals' world with their third release-Holy Fire-makes the band's transition from the clubs to the theatres sound like practically a necessity.
That's not to suggest that Foals are assured of bigger audiences or that Holy Fire is that much of a creative improvement over the surprising Total Life Forever (it isn't), it's merely an acknowledgement that dropping the extra pounds for the knob twiddlers achieved the desired effect: the band sounds bigger, deeper and strikingly original.
But just because Foals sound good in their big boy pants, it doesn't mean that Holy Fire smokes all the way down to the filter.
There are several moments of undeniable grooves and truly inspired performances. It begins with the anthemic opener "Inhaler" and it continues with Foals' trademark syncopated guitars and funky rhythms.
The record's two high-water marks follow that comfortable pattern, "Late Night" and "Milk & Black Spiders." The former utilizes a slow-burn effect, gradually building until the band stumbles back around to the song's killer rhythm, where it rides it for a minute when it could easily milk it for another five.
"Milk & Black Spiders" follows suit, but Flood & Moulder add some plucked strings to the taut rhythms, giving the Foals' secret weapon an entirely new dynamic.
also makes a similar connection, but then Holy
Fire makes an unwelcomed swing by the self-aggrandizing slower numbers that
end the record.
Ironically, Foals have attempted such serene moments before and won. But in the context of Holy Fire's already massive intentions, these moments are a bit overbearing. It can nearly derail the impact of the entire record if you allow it, wallowing in its own girth and unintentional comparisons.
Thankfully, the aftertaste doesn't stick and you'll remember Holy Fire for what it's intended to be: a full-flavored toke of one of rock music's wide-eyed upstarts with arena-sized ambitions. Its impact depends on how much you appreciate (or miss) the band's clear inspirations (read U2, Radiohead, The Cure) and its place in their own history depends on how much you think their last two records burned new paths/

Notes: The next post will be on August 13.
Also, a few words on distractions in prayer: Distractions are indeed part of prayer, and if all we seem to do is wrestle with them during any particular prayer time, we should offer these to God, too. He will accept our distractions as much as He will accept prayer which 'flows easily.' It is what is in our hearts that matters and it is our time spent with Him which He cherishes, not the 'quality' of our prayer. Distractions are not all bad, and in fact, they can help us to understand a lot about ourselves. They can reveal what areas need healing, where our weaknesses lie, what concerns us, what we might struggle with, and even can reveal who and what we love. Therefore, distractions can actually be useful if we pay attention to them.
1. This is a photo of the setting sun which I took in Silverthorne, Colorado. The fiery appearance of the cloud and the mountains made this seem like a fitting choice given that fire and cloud are Old Testament symbols for the presence of God's Spirit (Shekinah). The image also made me think of the fiery whirlwind which took Elijah into Heaven.
2. This is an icon by Fr. William Hart McNichols called Holy Prophet Elijah. It depicts the raven feeding Elijah at the beginning of his ministry in 1 Kings 17, (specifically verses 4-6). I like that Fr. Bill painted Elijah as a younger man with dark hair and confess to this being an inspiration for some of my thoughts on Elijah. You can find this icon at http://frbillmcnichols-sacredimages.com/featured/holy-prophet-elijah-009-william-hart-mcnichols.html.
3. This painting by Gustav Klimt called Apple Tree (1912) seemed to fit here for a lot of reasons. The first is that one has to be quite attentive to this painting in order to see where the tree begins and the flowers in the surrounding grass end. In other words, one has to spend time learning to discern 'what is what' in the painting. It also spoke to me of the bounty with which God nourishes us, not just through food, but by spiritual nourishment which comes to us through the graces with which He feeds our souls. You can find more description of this painting at http://www.reproduction-tableaux.fr/produit/klimt-pommier/
4. In a completely different style and period of history, this is a painting by Tintoretto called Elijah Fed by the Angel. (1577-78) This is a depiction of Elijah in the desert just after he prayed for death, when God sent His angel who fed Elijah so that he had the strength to make it to Mt. Horeb where he was told that God would meet him. Again, I love that Elijah was painted as a younger man: his hair is brown, and if one looks really closely, one can decide if he even has a beard. (I cannot detect one, and if so, I suspect it is not to denigrate his wisdom, but to give a sense of his vigor, which is now seemingly stretched to the limit.) You can find this painting at https://wga.hu/html_m/t/tintoret/3b/2upper/1/ and also at https://wga.hu/support/viewer_m/z.html.
5. I took this photo of a rock under water in a crystal clear river in Colorado. I chose to use it here as a symbol of our need to be transparent with God. Transparency may make us feel vulnerable, but when we are empowered by the Holy Spirit, and truly try to follow His movements, our transparency is what enables us to live prophetically. People will see God and His message through our words and deeds, even when we do small things.
6. This is a photo I took at the shoreline in Matagorda, Texas. This plover was running into and then out of the surf in what looked like a funny dance, but was actually its way of finding food. I chose to use it here, however, because the bird had to know when to be led into the water and when to move away from the powerful surf: it is an example of discernment as we seek to know whether something is moving us toward God or away from Him. And of course, we choose what moves us toward Him.
7. Finally, this image of the Holy Spirit is an inset from a larger icon by Fr. William Hart McNichols. He calls it Viriditas - Holy Spirit Detail. You can find it at http://frbillmcnichols-sacredimages.com/featured/viriditas-holy-spirit-detail-william-hart-mcnichols.html.

Story by Annie Ewart – Photos courtesy of Annie Ewart
June 8, 2013, Victoria, BC (ISN) – Everything happens for a reason, or at least that's what my mother has always told me; but when something unfortunate or unplanned takes place, you begin to wonder.
I am at home right now with a shattered shoulder blade and a broken shoulder joint. I've had 2 surgeries; lots of new metal inserted, and I will have a permanent #7 on my back from the surgical scar (I guess this will become my new lucky number!).
Rewind to a month ago and I would have told you I was feeling pretty darn good on the bike. Early on in the season I had recovered from strep throat, returned to training and spent three weeks at altitude in Boulder. I had competed for Canada at the 2013 Pan American Road Championships in Mexico – where I finished 4th in the time trials. I was feeling strong on the bike and knew it was just the beginning of building up to peak form for the rest of the season.

Following Pan Ams I flew to St. Louis to meet up with my team to compete in the annual Tour De Grove. Friday night was the first of three criteriums. The race started off well and I took an early lead off the front winning a prime. About twenty minutes into the race I was brought back to the group, then a lap or two later, BOOM! I was into the barriers and then on the ground, and I knew it wasn't good. This ended any hope of finishing off the weekend, and racing at the Gatineau Grand Prix the following weekend.
Photo courtesy of Annie Ewart
In St Louis they operated immediately to deal with the deep wound on my shoulder, leaving me overnight in hospital. Thirty six hours later I was back home and sitting with a shoulder surgeon in Victoria. Instead of getting good news the news was getting worse… the surgeon had told me the injury was serious; my shoulder would need to be reconstructed, and rehab would take some time. As you can imagine, that forecast did not sit well with my thinking or fit into my future plans. A few days later after four hours of surgery, the pieces were reconnected, put back together, and my recovery began.
Yes, I have had my moments of being down, but then everything was put into perspective when I received a call from Rick Hansen. Rick started off by asking how I was doing and encouraged me to keep my chin up; to be thankful for small blessings, and to use this unforeseen time to work on the performance gaps that take a back seat when you are busy in your racing schedule. He then went on to tell me he had just had a visit with a girl that was a year younger than me. She was in hospital with terminal cancer, and had been given one year to live. As if that wasn't tough enough, I was also told the girls mother was facing terminal cancer at the same time.
If that story doesn't stop you from feeling sorry for yourself, I don't know what does. Their story really put things in perspective for me. Yes, I have a few broken bones but they will heal – terminal cancer is something that does not. I have nothing to feel sorry about – I know that I will be back competing and enjoying the thrill of cycling as soon as my recovery allows.
Photo courtesy of Annie Ewart
So here I am two weeks post surgery #2: no sling (off the bike), back on the bike, and motivated more than ever. I have nothing to be down about. I have an amazing family, wonderful friends, I couldn't ask for a better and more supportive cycling team, and of course all the medical people that put me back together and are helping me everyday with recovery and rehab.
Hopefully by my next post I will have started to uncover the silver lining from this speed bump on my journey. Onwards and up!

Have you ever been stung by a bluebottle or a jellyfish?
Turns out you don't need to urinate on your stings. We've all been misinformed. Bad news for anyone who has, it probably made the sting worse.
New research has revealed that the best cure for a bluebottle sting is simply applying vinegar and then heat. The current protocol for the bluebottle or physalia utriculus is to apply salt water, scrape off the tentacles and then add ice. Apparently, just like the urine, this is the worst thing you can do.
Scraping away tentacles adds more pressure to the area, increasing the stinging firing capsules, so more venom is pumped into the skin. The salt water will make the sting much larger and adding ice instead of hot water will make the pain for the victim even worse.
Image: Wikimedia Commons
Researchers found that the best treatment for those nasty bluebottle stings is the same treatment recommended for all other jellyfish stings, which is splashing vinegar on the sting (not pee). They've suggested that heat pressure on the sting for 45 minutes will deactivate the injected venom.
So why have we been treating stings incorrectly for so long?
Bluebottles look like jellyfish, but they aren't. They're called zooids; a cluster or colony of four kinds of highly modified individuals that all depend on each other for survival. The top of the bluebottle or the 'float' is a single individual and supports the rest of the group. The tentacles are polyps; they're concerned with capturing and detecting food and reproduction is carried out by the gonozooids, the other polyp.
Before the study, researchers believed that treatment for a bluebottle sting was different to that of a normal jellyfish sting. After analysis, researchers from Hawaii and Ireland found that urine, lemon juice, salt water and similar old wives remedies were not an effective treatment for any zooid or jellyfish sting. Angel Yanagihara, the senior researcher and author explains:
Without solid science to back up medical practices, we have ended up with conflicting official recommendations around the world, leading to confusion and, in many cases, practices that actually worsen stings or even cost lives.
More than 10,000 people report being stung by bluebottles in Australia every year, and up to 30,000 reports in peak years.
So next time you go for a swim and get stung by a blue bottle, don't urinate on yourself.
Splash yourself with vinegar and apply heat.

The basic idea of a Spanish language immersion program is to expose learners to the language as rosetta stone sale a tool of communication on a daily basis. In schools, this translates to having subjects like math, social studies, and history, as well as outside class activities such as meals or everyday tasks, in Spanish. This will allow learners to be "immersed" in the language and pick up the language fast, since it has become the default tool of communication. As a matter of fact, this is how we all learned our first language when we were babies. And look at how well we speak in our first language!
So Spanish immersion program does work effectively. The thing is, as you probably rosetta stone language cd already know, not such program is quite costly, both in terms of cash as well as time. Courses that offer Spanish immersion programs demand you to come everyday for a significant period of time--usually one or two hours. The fee may make a hole in your pocket. So you can see how some people feel that the cost of participating in Spanish immersion programs outweigh its benefits.
So is there an alternative? Well yes there is!
You can take the basic idea of the Spanish language immersion program and rosetta stone homeschool language apply it yourself by using a Spanish learning software program. Spanish learning software programs like Rosetta Stone or Rocket Spanish provide highly interactive methods for you to learn the language and use it in a daily conversation style. These programs are equipped with audio and visual tools that will significantly help you understand and master the language in a short time. Now the best thing about using such software programs is that you can expose yourself to the language on a daily basis! Some software programs claim that all you need is to use the software for about second hand rosetta stone 15 minutes everyday; I would recommend at least 30 minutes during the weekdays and 1 hour during the weekends.
After about two weeks of using the Spanish learning software programs on a daily basis, you can combine those daily "courses" with other ways of exposing yourself further to the language. If you have colleagues at work or friends who speak Spanish, ask them to keep speaking the language with you every time you converse. Watch Spanish movies and use English subtitles to help you understand (I'd highly recommend any movie by Pedro Almodóvar). Pick up your favorite Spanish songs, download the lyrics, and sing along.
As you can well see, this will give you a similar effect of a Spanish language immersion program. Rosetta Stone Latin American spanish You will be highly exposed to the language on a daily basis. And it should be noted that most software programs are designed to help you speak Spanish in a conversational fashion, which is exactly what you need. You don't want to be an expert on Spanish grammar; you want to be able to carry a decent conversation in Spanish confidently. So conversing with a friend in Spanish, watching movies, and listening to songs will be effectively compliment your learning.
This method has been proven to allow a complete beginner to be Rosetta Stone Portuguese wholesale able to carry a conversation in Spanish confidently in less than 8 weeks! And at a much affordable cost than a real immersion program--or even any Spanish course for that matter. Try it and you can prove it yourself.
Rob Mathews is currently working as a consultant for the United Nations http://fgjngfm54.blog.com Development Program (UNDP). He is a language enthusiast and speaks English, Spanish, French, Malay and Indonesian. His review on Spanish language learning software can be seen at Spanish Review

As a consolation, here is an extremely short post, along with an intriguing picture that is kind of discomforting. And now I'm making it just a little bit longer. Uh-oh, now I'm ruining it by making it too long. Seriously, if I could just stop writing now it would be perfect… but I can't help myself. Ok, I'm going to stop now. No, seriously, I will.
