Eligible sophomores, juniors, seniors may select a room and a roommate during the spring room selection process. Apartment housing and housing in the smaller halls are open to upper-class students.
If available, portions of the residence halls are available for the use of the total campus population, while other portions are restricted for resident use only.

I'm frequently asked what lenses I use for headshots, or fashion work. This week is the perfect chance to share because I'm putting a small kit together for my trip to Chicago. It is a bridal shoot, but I love to treat bridals as "fashion" because really- that's what it is. Beautiful Bride's showing off their dresses- yeah. It's fashion.
First off, my trusty Mark II is my main body. I will be using my Fuji more (I talk more about that here!) My Canon has been with me for 3 years, and I love it. I send it in once a year for a checkup, it and just keeps shooting. While there are a few things I would change about it, it continues to be a trusty way to get my shots. A few close friends jokingly ask when I'm going to upgrade, or get out of Canon completely and embrace that cool new Sony A7- I do plan on upgrading to the Mark III here very soon, but as far as leaving Canon completely- I honestly don't see that happening anytime soon, if ever. I'm actually wondering when they'll stop fooling around and just come out with a mirrorless already.
As far as lenses, I love using my 50 1.2 for pretty much everything. It's my favorite focal length for weddings, engagements, small groups, fashion- almost anything I can think of, I always use my 50 as a starting point, and change focal lengths from there. My 100 2.8 is a great lens for portraits and details. It is completely versatile. I don't have to worry about camera to subject distance, because it will focus either way. I can shoot from a distance, get some great compression, OR shoot a little closer to the subject, crop in-camera and get a great tight headshot. For engagement sessions, I love getting ring shots- the beautiful bride-to-be looking up at her fiancé smiling, her hand showing off that gorgeous ring.... as with any prime, all I have to do is move my feet. For real versatility I love what my 24-70 does for me. If I'm in a tight spot, and I know there will be some issues with space, or if I know we'll be outside and my clients will want wide as well as tighter shots, I trust that the 24-70 can handle it. This was the first piece of L glass I bought, and while it's not 'version 2' it is still a really wonderful sharp piece of glass. I love prime glass though; I love using my feet to move in and out of a space. Zooms are great, but primes are greater. Give me a 50 and an 85- and I'll be shooting all day. I only use zooms out of convenience.
I don't upgrade at the drop of a hat either. I know there are several lenses that have had the second version come out- but my lenses work great for what I am capturing. They are all very sharp, and they just work. I'm sure someday if I try the 24-70 II, I'll think myself a fool for not upgrading sooner. I'm not always on the lookout for the next lens, the next body. If something works, I stick with it.
I have my trusty 580EXII, (we have 2 of them), and love them. We use them off camera, on camera, with a diffuser, without, they've survived falls, drops, mine even came crashing down onto our tile floor from 8 feet up. I sent it in to CPS and they repaired it- but it came back good as new, and is still firing. I don't see the need to go to the newer flash- yes I know the 600's do more- but these work just as well for what we use them for.
This is my Speedbox 65 that I've had for over a year. I take this thing with me on every single shoot-weddings included! It is the most perfect speedlite diffuser that I have found. It collapses perfectly, opens at the drop of a hat, and again- it just works. I only have one, but would like to get the Speedbox 70 this year sometime. I love the perfectly diffused light that comes out of this when we are outdoors. The subjects face is perfectly lit, all shadows disappear, it's as if magic took place... seriously. For weddings, it works great for the cake cutting, and formals.
I'm going to have to take it apart completely for my trip- but I'm excited for the shots I'll be getting. All photographers have certain kits for certain things. There is no right or wrong here, you use the best tools for the job. I mentioned my 85 1.2 earlier, that is a great lens- no complaints- but I love it most for studio work. It is a nice heavy lens- tack sharp but love it most in a controlled setting.
Let me know if you'd like to see blogs on anything else.
See you on the next shoot!

Every August, my favorite network, Turner Classic Movies, celebrates Summer Under the Stars. Each day in August is devoted to a different star. 24 hours of films. Sunday, August 16th they turn the spotlight on Elvis Presley.
For Classic Las Vegas lovers that means only one thing: VIVA LAS VEGAS! Elvis and Ann-Margaret meet cute and fall in love all under the bright neon lights of Las Vegas in 1964. If you aren't going to be awake at 3:00 am, then set your TIVO to record it. You won't be disappointed.
Much of the film was shot on location and there are terrific shots of places like the original Convention Center that aren't there any more. Also, some great footage of the Riviera and other hotels and their pools. It helps that Ann-Margaret plays Rusty, a swim instructor. Look for Nicky Blair in a supporting role. His restaurant used to be on Paradise near the Convention Center.
Best of all, there is footage of the Mint Hotel with it's beautiful neon wave. Which we'll be talking about more tomorrow!
In the meantime, do yourself a favor, watch or TIVO "Viva Las Vegas", you won't be disappointed.
Here is a link to the rest of the Summer Under the Stars schedule. If you haven't checked it out, please do so:

Gender and REDD+ learning exchange - technical workshop summary report
Over three days, 13-15 May 2014, in Washington, D.C., the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) joined with the Global Gender Office (GGO) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to organize and host a technical workshop on gender and reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). To develop a substantive and forward looking agenda, and to facilitate a dynamic workshop program, USAID and IUCN brought together and relied upon a Steering Committee of leading partners, including the Women's Environment and Development Organization (WEDO), the REDD+ Social and Environmental Standards (SES) initiative, the UN-REDD Programme and the pro-poor and cobenefits REDD+ initiatives of IUCN.
A learning exchange for fifty-two participants from more than twenty countries, the workshop convened leading experts, government representatives, and practitioners from international, national and subnational levels to engage in dialogue, identify lessons and best practices, and map concrete steps forward to advance the gender and REDD+ agenda. Participants came from some of the first and most innovative programs and projects on REDD+ from around the world, highlighting rationale, tools and strategies for integrating gender considerations. Among country- and participant-specific identification of priorities and commitments to action, workshop results include a call to establish an informal working group on gender and REDD+ issues, as well as the identified need for an easily accessible knowledge platform of existing and evolving tools for gender mainstreaming in REDD+ processes.
Over the last five years, governments and stakeholders from different regions have increasingly recognized that effective solutions to climate change require gender-responsive policies, programming and funds. With respect to REDD+, global agreements now request that gender considerations clearly be part of REDD+ national processes: the 2010 UNFCCC Cancun Agreements included the need to consider gender concerns in the development and implementation of national plans and strategies, and the 2011 Durban Outcomes indicated specific need for addressing and integrating gender considerations in safeguards. At regional, national and sub-national levels, various organizations and agencies have initiated activities that identify relevant gender issues in the context of REDD+ and further demonstrate how 'gender considerations' can be incorporated toward effective—and even enhanced—REDD+ programming. Different initiatives have provided technical support and capacity building to address gender considerations in REDD+ programs or projects as part of the efforts to strengthen the readiness phase and prepare countries for gender responsive implementation.
Bringing together representatives from these initiatives was the main purpose of this three-day technical workshop, offering a unique platform for direct exchange-of-experience across countries and contexts.

Review: The Standard Hotel, New York
The hotel has become an icon itself thanks to its patchwork of glass towering into the sky above the beloved New York Highline. There are views in every direction, no matter what floor you are on, a bonus because there is nothing worse than forking out a few hundred for a nice hotel to look onto a parking lot or a brick wall.
The Standard is home to the uber exclusive club the Boom Boom Room, the popular German style beer garden and The Standard Bar and Grill, home to potentially the best burger I have ever tasted... and I don't take such claims lightly.
Restaurants aside, the hotel is quintessentially New York. The rooms are small but trendy and boast views of the highline right underneath it, the Hudson River and the never ending city skyline of Manhattan. It is centrally located with some of the city's best shopping and dining right at your door.
- Service: friendly, casual and helpful.
- Room service: A good variety of options, served quickly and good quality. Watch out though, it's expensive! Rooms: compact but functional – you want to be sure you're comfortable with any others staying with you, there is zero bathroom privacy. On the plus side, you can wash your hair while admiring the city skyline and highland below. Amenity: A roof top gym, pool, free wifi, plenty of dining options – the hotel has everything you will need. Best for: a holiday or weekender for couples or friends – not ideal for the business traveller as there are no meeting rooms. Price: It is expensive given it is not a luxury hotel but worth the money if you have it for the views and experience alone.
- Location: The meatpacking district is central making travel uptown, downtown and Brooklyn easy. Some of the restaurants best shopping and dining is right at your door.
Oink oink,
Truffle Pig.

Apple has pushed out its first automated security update to Macintosh computers without requiring a Mac user's approval.
"The update is seamless. It doesn't even require a restart," company spokesman Bill Evans told Reuters.
Apple's technology to send out automatic security updates, which was developed two years ago but was never previously used, is to fix critical security vulnerabilities in a component of its OS X operating system known as NTP , he added. NTP is used for synchronizing clocks on computer systems.

HANGZHOU, China — The prime minister says he has spoken with Turkish and Indonesian leaders about the fate of three Canadians detained in those countries.
Justin Trudeau says he raised their cases on the sidelines of the G20 summit in China, though he didn't say what he heard in return.
Turkey detained two Turkish-Canadian men following the failed coup attempt there in July, accusing them of links to the ringleaders of the plot.
In Indonesia, a Canadian teacher is now in prison after being convicted of crimes against children he insists he never carried out.

Trudeau says as a person who has travelled extensively, he knows how important it is to have a government that is concerned about the welfare of its citizens abroad.
He says that's why he always brings up consular issues in discussions with his fellow world leaders.
"It is important for me to demonstrate that Canada cares deeply about its citizens in difficulties abroad and we need to make sure they are getting proper consular access and the kind of support through rule of law that is expected," Trudeau said Monday.

Kingston businessman murder trial continues to face setbacks
The murder trial of Kingston businessman, Noel Hunter, continues to face setbacks.
Hunter is on trial for the 2007 murder of former University of Technology student Sherine Brown.
When the case was called up in the Home Circuit Court yesterday, the court was informed that the key witness was absent.
The trial was then rescheduled to May 4.
Allegations are that in July 2007, Hunter, who is a licensed firearm holder, was travelling along Chisholm Avenue in Kingston when a man said to be of unsound mind threw a stone which struck his car.
Hunter and the man allegedly got into a dispute and the businessman pulled his gun and fired a shot at him.
The bullet struck the UTech student who was walking along the roadway.
Hunter was subsequently arrested and charged with murder.

Passage of Time in Hospitals
This black grackle sings
to me through torn window
screens while dew
from the morning
still waits on grass.
It pecks at worms and ants
nodding as it eyes
me. Were your cousins
able to see me
through screens, too
the times I
peered out at night,
searched for signs?
I would scan and analyze
trees and wet leaves,
how they move and sway-
In Houston hospital rooms
the grillos sang at odd
hours on some winter
nights. Scientists
tell us they
don't sing during winter
storms, rainy seasons, but
this rebel serenades me
as proof that men in white coats
are often wrong.

Most Expensive: The Incredible New DA50-V Diamond Aircraft's – Diamond Aircraft's new DA50-V took everyone by surprise a few weeks ago at the 2017 Aero Friedrichshafen aviation show in Germany, where this stunning high-performance single-engine airplane has been premiered in three different variants. Described as a real game changer, the production version of this airplane will be powered by either a 230-hp or a 260-hp Safran/SMA engine that burns jet fuel at an outstanding rate of just 6.8 gallons per hour.
With this incredibly efficient engine, the new Diamond Aircraft DA50-V is able to achieve speeds of up to 199 mph and fly for as far as 1,174 miles, which is more than impressive in our books. Coupled with a maximum payload of 1,256 pounds, these figures look amazing in a world dominated by jet-propelled airplanes.
Diamond Aircraft's DA50 benefits from a carbon fiber fuselage, making it durable and lightweight, and since it's packing Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, with the advanced GFC700 autopilot, along with leather seats and chrome trim, this classy-looking plane is stylish, comfortable and pretty easy to pilot.
As we've mentioned earlier, the DA50 will be available in three versions, specifically the four-seat 230 hp DA50-IV, the five-seat DA50-V, and the seven-seat DA50-VII. The latter also benefits from retractable gear and a Safran/SMA diesel engine or the Ivchenko Progress/Motor Sich AI-450S turbine. A custom paint scheme is also available as an option, adding to the charm of this old-school modern-day airplane.

Bridgework Over Troubled Waters
While rare, things don't always go as planned on incentive programs.
This particular incident happened over two decades ago, but the memory of it is as crisp as freshly ironed cotton sheets because, quite frankly, in over 30 years of planning and overseeing incentive trips, this was–and remains–a first. It involved a gregarious, hilarious French Canadian and his teeth.
We took a group of 300 attendees (which included the French Canadian man, who we will call Francois) on a one-week dealer incentive trip to Barbados. It was a week full of sun and fun, including an excursion on the Jolly Roger.
If you're not familiar with Jolly Roger cruises, a website sums it up with three telling verbs: "Eat… drink… party!" More specifically, it's a sailing cruise with calypso music, dancing, snorkeling, food, and as you might suspect, rum punch.
It was the perfect setting for Francois, who already stood out as a life-of-the-party kind of guy, and was very popular among the attendees. On the second day of our week-long program, we set sail on the Jolly Roger from the pier at Bridgetown across the aquamarine Caribbean Sea. Music was pumping, food and drinks were circulating amongst some of the guests, while others were following Francois, who was leading a dance train; everyone was having a great time. After about one hour, we stopped for a swim and snorkel. Francois, one of the first in, dove from the ship's platform with a big whoop and an ear-to-ear grin on his face.
But when he surfaced, he was no longer smiling. His lips were pressed tight in a line of worry. His movements were frantic. He seemed to be searching the water as if he'd lost something. Anthony, our company president and one of the trip leaders, threw Francois a mask and snorkel and dove in. At first Anthony had no idea what was wrong. What was Francois looking for? Anthony studied Francois' face for clues, and suddenly realized: His bridgework was missing. Francois' entire set of teeth, both uppers and lowers, were gone.
Searching for teeth in the ocean was like looking for Atlantis. Still, Anthony and Francois looked. And looked. But to no avail. There was no more "Jolly" in Jolly Roger as word circulated about Francois's missing teeth. The normally happy-go-lucky, outgoing party guy was now utterly despondent. He would not even crack the smallest of smiles. He would not open his mouth; he stopped speaking.
As soon as we docked back at the pier, one of our staff, Ron Boudreau, beelined to our hotel to ask for a referral to a trusted dentist. The very same day, we escorted Francois to a local specialist who took measurements and promised to rush it.
The next morning the group was in meetings. Francois attended, but sat silent throughout looking sad and deflated. All that changed on the following day when the dentist's office called with good news: the new bridgework was ready!
Anthony drove Francois to the office for the fitting and waited, hoping that the new uppers and lowers were suitable. Soon, Francois emerged with his arm around the dentist, grinning from ear to ear. The teeth looked…well, huge actually. And so bright they almost glowed. But they fit and they were comfortable and Francois loved them.
Upon returning to the hotel, he wasted no time parading his new pearly whites, which received hoots and howls from his fellow group members. For the remaining days of the trip Francois ate everything and joined in every activity–and he did it all with a big (and we mean big), bright smile.

Is there a way to remove the numbers from the tabs in Scite?
When you have multiple autoit programs open, the tabs are numbered, so you'll get something like 1 ProgramA.au3 2 Program2.au3 3 Program3.au3
I am working on programs with numbers as the first character, so I get 1 3-DoThis.au3 2 4-DoAnother.au3 3 5-DoTheRest.au3 (not the real program names, obviously :))
It would be nice if I could get rid of the tab number, and just have the program name on each tab.
By SgtHugoStiglitz
HI people,
I got a questions, I maintain code in autoIT and every time I compile a new version or modification, Scite generate 2 folders. One folder is finish by released and the other is tentative. I try to make some google search, but never find answer would satisfied myself. The dev who was maintain it before were using AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI, and I don't know if it's related. I look both folder, but they seem pretty identical, but I would like to know what it's the difference between those to folder. Anyone have a clue?

ConsoleWrite('>Message here.' & @CRLF) outputs colored text (per + > - ! characters).
ConsoleWrite('warning' & @TAB & '38' & @TAB & 'more text ...' & @CRLF) enables jump to line 38 on doubleclick.
Using "jump to line" format, only red and pink text coloring seems possible (simply prefixing color directives to output-text disables jump to line functionality). Is it possible to combine the two (define custom color while keeping "jump to line" functionality)?
By mannworks00
After testing various schemes (themes) in the settings for the newest SciTE editor (v. 4.1.2), I discovered that I wasn't able to fully reset it back to its original colors (See snapshot). Specifically, after applying the "__SciTE4AutoIt3_Dark ==> Dark SciTE4AutoIt3 Color scheme."
The problem: The Line number column and the Output console do not reset back to their original colors.
The Solution: Delete or edit the user config file. You can safely delete the config file because it will completely regenerate on SciTE restart- with it's factory (out of the box) color scheme.
I also wrote a small script that will do it programatically: How to reset SciTE scheme in version 4.1.2.

I'm using SciTE v126.96.36.199 I think, and I find this very annoying (GIF):
I've searched around but found nothing that helped including this:
So the problem obviously is that when I go to a new line after "EndIf", it removes the tab which I don't want to happen.
Is there any fix?
I've tried to change some configs such as
Line 183: # Indentation Line 185: indent.size=0 Line 187: #indent.auto=0 Line 188: indent.automatic=0 Line 189: indent.opening=0 Line 190: indent.closing=0 Line 191: #tab.indents=0 Line 192: #backspace.unindents=0 strip.trailing.spaces=0 But nothing seems to get rid of this.

Every month Korean beauty experts Beauteque release a new limited edition bag in their Head-To-Toe series. This is not a subscription, but a one-off purchase, and each bag is curated around a specific theme. June's theme was Aloe, and the bag featured a number of products featuring this skin-friendly ingredient.
Although we are now in September, I was very kindly sent this bag to feature on my blog and I was really excited. I love aloe-based skincare and, even though Summer is a distant memory, as we rapidly move towards the colder months aloe is still a great ingredient as it helps protect skin against those harsh winter winds and drying central heating.
Aloe has hydrating and cooling properties and is rich in Vitamin E, A, C and B making it the perfect ingredient to moisturise, protect, heal and refresh. The Aloe Head to Toe Bag ($29 – approx £18.80)* features a plethora of products which contain this wonderful, natural ingredient including moisturisers, mists and sheet masks. Lets take a delve inside and have a closer look at the contents.
First out of the bag are two aloe-based sheet masks – 3W Fresh Aloe Sheet Mask (RRP $1) and Tosowoong Pure Aloe Sheet Mask (RRP$2). I love sheet masks and these Aloe ones are particularly amazing for soothing your skin after exposure to sun. The masks are very cooling and hydrating, literally dripping with essence, but if you want even more of a refreshing skincare treat pop them in the fridge before use. These sheet masks plump out the skin, reducing fine lines and making the complexion glow with health.
I love it my beauty boxes include beauty tools or lifestyle products so I was really happy to see Beauteaque including a Silicon Massage Pad (RRP $1). Silicon massage pads are used to provide a very gentle yet deep cleanse. Combined with your usual foaming cleanser the soft silicon bristles of the massage pad get into hard to reach places and help remove excess dirt and oil from deep within the pores.
Next up we have the Nature Republic Aloe Vera Body Cream (RRP $11) – This 90% Aloe body lotion will soothe and protect the skin from irritation while leaving dry skin soft and deeply hydrated. I have very dry skin so I love to slather myself in a really creamy body lotion, and this one doesn't disappoint. It feels cooling and soothing, and despite its rich texture absorbs well leaving my skin really supple.
Moving on we have a very useful multipurpose product in the form of the It's Skin Aloe Soothing Gel (RRP $7). Aloe Gel can be used for so many things skincare-wise, from soothing sunburn to preventing irritation after shaving, so it really is a great all-rounder to have on hand! It's also a fantastic product for the whole family so I was really pleased to see this handy-sized gel included.
Next is the Welcos Aloe Vera Soothing Gel Mist (RRP $8). I love facial mists, especially in summer, as they're great for combating dehydration and keeping you cool. I usually apply a mist as my first skincare step after toning but also like to spritz it over makeup during the day to keep my skin feeling fresh. There's no need to confine mists to your face though, and this Aloe Vera mist is ideal for all-over use and will refresh, hydrate and soothe the whole body.
The final product in the Head to Toe bag is the Nature Republic Smoothing Aloe Moisture Emulsion (RRP $8.50). An emulsion is a moisturiser that isn't quite as thick as a cream. With my oil-prone combination skin I prefer their lighter texture, particularly during the warmer months, but if you have dry skin you can layer an emulsion underneath your regular cream for an extra boost of hydration. I love this emulsion although the packaging isn't ideal and it's hard to get the product out.
The Aloe Head to Toe bag (still available here) is great for fans of Aloe products and showcases some fantastic K-Beauty brands but if this doesn't float your boat Beauteque release new bags every month, each one carefully curated to a specific theme. They also have an amazing monthly sheet mask subscription service, Mask Maven, which I've reviewed here.
Beauteque ships to most countries worldwide and shipping rates vary according to country and product, but to Europe the shipping rate for their Head To Toe bags is $9.95 (approx £6.45). If you're a confirmed fan of Korean beauty or even just fancy exploring Korean products for the first time I'd definitely recommend checking them out.

Counselling services said that parents had contacted them about children as young as eleven who are spending hours online, and had become aggressive when deprived of gaming consoles and gadgets.
The NHS does not offer any specific treatment for such addictons, but private firms said that desperate families have spent thousands on in-patient treatment for children who appear to be hooked on the games.
Studies have suggested that as many as 600,000 computer users in the UK could be classed as "internet addicts" because they find it so difficult to keep away from computer games, social networking sites and e-mail use.
Research found that such users struggled to control the time they spent online, and became depressed if they were forcibly deprived of internet contact.
Oliver Clark, who runs a UK addiction counselling service ADT Healthcare, said he gets around 10 calls every day from desperate families, concerned about children as young as 11, who were spending hours on computers, and becoming aggressive when parents tried to intervene.
He said: "There's no treatment on the NHS for gaming addicts so we have to send them to private clinics that can charge up to £4,500 a week - that can last for four weeks and means being treated in an in-patient clinics."
While most UK clinics will not treat children below the age of 16, some younger children have been sent to "bootcamp" programmes in the United States, which provides inpatient treatment from the age of 13, he said.
Such camps encourage residents to rediscover an interest in the outdoors and physical activities.
The costs involved meant that only the most wealthy could afford to get help, he said.
"Unfortunately, it means that only rich families can afford to get their children help. It's an epidemic," he said.
Mr Clark said children's bodies are flooded with chemicals such as dopamine and adrenaline when they play video games.
This rush of chemicals becomes addictive, meaning they have to keep playing to achieve the same high and go through withdrawal when they stop.
He said: "Some of them play games for 20 hours a day. Their whole life becomes a fantasy.
"They become very defensive when parents try to take games away from them - they go through withdrawal."
Studies have found that many under-16s spend more than 20 hours a week online, while more than half of children have viewed online porn.
Treatment involves counselling, and encouraging children towards other activities.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists has said that the high that addicts get from being online or playing computer games can be compared with the thrills from illegal drugs, giving children a feeling of escapism from everyday life.
Counsellors said that some of the worst cases included those who developed bed sores from being sat playing games for long periods.
In other cases, children had become suicidal or violent when parents tried to withdraw computers and games, said Stephen Noel-Hill, who works as a counsellor for gaming addicts.
He said: "Kids have attacked their families when they've taken games away from them. In some cases they've threatened their parents with knives."
Mr Noel-Hill said he feared a lont-term impact from the dependence on games, which was harming the ability to form relationships, and academic skills.
He said: "There are a lot of suicides to come from all of this because these people will wake up one day and realise they have no qualifications and no social skills to form relationships. It's a time-bomb."

Monkey Day Date in the current year: December 14, 2019
Celebration of Monkey Day was started as a joke. In 2000 artist Casey Sorrow, then student at Michigan State University, made a note on friend's calendar "Monkey Day" and celebrated the holiday with other students of the university. The holiday gained popularity when Sorrow and his fellow students included Monkey Day in their comic strips Fetus-X and artwork and started promoting the holiday online.
Monkey Day gained enormous popularity among people in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Germany and the United Kingdom. Annually the activists organize different events related to monkey. Individuals are also encouraged to celebrate this holiday by organizing costume parties or holding different competitions. Other events include auctions and educative events that help draw public attentions to the issues concerning animal rights, medical research and protection of monkeys.Remind me with Google Calendar

Contact persons: Dr. Mike Hoyt
This group meets Tuesday mornings at 6:45 for a hot breakfast prepared by Tony and Howard (cost $5 per person).
One hour study begins at 7:00 a.m. This fall the group will study reflections on the life of David from First and Second Samuel using a study book by Eugene H. Peterson "Leap Over a Wall".
(Study books are available in the Church office.)
Group meets in the room beneath the sanctuary. All are welcome!
Contact Person: Dr. Mike Hoyt and John Byce
This group meets on the first Tuesday evening of each month (except July) from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at The Community Tap, 205 Wade Hampton Blvd., Greenville, SC 29609. The group gathers for a time of fellowship and discussion of the Scripture. The name of this informal Bible study group comes from the casual discussions that Martin Luther would have with friends around the dinner table. Students and fellow reformers would flock to Luther's table for the food and drink and stick around for the conversation. Many of these conversations were recorded by students and later published as "Table Talk."
This group tries to recreate this type of setting and encourage a fellowship-based discussion of scripture. What better place to meet than in the back of a beer store in the North Main neighborhood. The Community Tap has agreed to host this group. Light food is provided and drinks are available for purchase.
For more information, please contact John Byce.
Teacher: Rev. Debbie Kyser
This class meets on Tuesday evenings from 6:45 until 9:00 or Friday mornings from 9:15 to 11:30 in the Kelly Library (Room 25).
This is a Lectionary-based study, which will usually tie in with the Scripture passages for the following Sunday's worship. The Lectionary is a listing of Bible passages compiled by most of the mainline denominations, designed to (1) coordinate the Scriptures we study and preach with the church year, (2) ensure that over a three-year period, most of the Bible will have been covered, and (3) strengthen the connections among the various branches of the Church Universal as we look together at the Scriptures we all hold in common.
Each week we will look at four to six Scriptures. These will typically include a Psalm, another Old Testament passage, a Gospel lesson, and a reading from one of the letters. The curriculum material focuses on one of these passages; but in our class meetings, we will also look at how these Scriptures speak to each other. One of the important tenets of Presbyterianism is that we understand Scripture best when we allow Scripture to interpret Scripture. In other words, by exploring one passage, we may also learn to understand another passage more clearly.
Last year the class found that this study allowed us to become more familiar with the entire Bible, but at the same time gave us a chance to look deeply into particular passages. We explored a great variety of Scriptures and a variety of styles of Scripture. We will continue that study with this year's lectionary. This is not a repeat of last year, but an ever-changing, ongoing relationship with the living Word of God.
This study is open to anyone, regardless of your level of experience with Bible study. All you need is a Bible, a thirst for knowledge of God's Word, and a willingness to be open to the Bible and each other. Because there is no book to buy, this is a class you can join at any time instead of having to wait until it starts over again. It will, however, require some preparation. I will hand out reading assignments, background information, and questions to consider that will cover several weeks at a time, and I will communicate information by e-mail when appropriate. The only cost for this class is $10.00 a person per year to help defray the cost of printing the reproducible handouts that are used.
For more information, please contact Debbie Kyser.
Presbyterian Women includes all the women of Fourth Presbyterian Church, seeking fellowship, mission and bible study as sisters in Christ. This year, we have four small groups, "circles", that will engage in different Bible studies. Take a look at the choices below and decide which group would be best for you. Circles meet on the second Tuesday of each month.
*Bell Mebane Circle meets at 9:30 a.m. in the Youth Wing (Oct through April). They will study Cultivate: A Grace-Filled Guide to Growing an Intentional Life by Lara Casey. Childcare may be available with advance notice through Little Folks of Fourth; please contact Little Folks Director Hope Greene at 864-235-1754 a week prior to circle.
*Circle 2 meets at 10:30 a.m. in classroom 24 (Oct through April). They will study the book of Ephesians with a study guide by N.T. Wright.
*Circle 3 meets at noon in the Mildred Crymes classroom (Oct through April). Members bring a lunch. They will study Parables from the Backside by J. Ellsworth Kalas.
*Circle 4 meets at 6 p.m. inside the Fellowship Hall (Sept through May). Jan Welch is the circle leader. They will study Speaking Christian: Why Christian Words Have Lost Their Power and How They Can Be Restored by Marcus J. Borg. Beth Templeton will lead the study.

"Mass markets were breaking up into smaller, more tightly focused market niches long before the Internet became a commercial force. The demographic segmentation and targeting typical of corporate marketing efforts of the last several decades has attempted to track this breakup like an astronomer cataloging the exploding debris of a once-great supernova. Although it was not the primary case, the Internet has greatly accelerated this explosive market fragmentation. At the same time, the Net is enabling new micromarkets to coalesce around shared areas of interest, thus overturning many fundamental assumptions of conventional marketing."
"…the media dream of the Web as another acquiescent mass-consumer market is a figment and a fantasy."
"By the end of the nineteenth century, the United States was poised to become the prototypical mass market. It had vast natural resources, a fast-growing population, and a contiguous geography generally unbounded by tariff restrictions. Cheap iron coupled with a voracious appetite for industrial expansion enabled a railway system capable of cost-effectively delivering goods to nearly every part of a captive domestic market."
"Given the high cost of entry into such enterprises, and without appreciable foreign competition, manufacturers cared little about product differentiation. Thus Henry Ford's attitude toward customer choice: 'They can have any color they want as long as it's black.' More than for his wit, Ford is remembered for designing the first high-volume automotive assembly lines. The more cars Ford could make, the lower the unit cost and the greater the margin of profit. These economies of scale led to enormous profits because the enabled selling a far cheaper product to a far wider market."
"Ford was strongly influenced by Frederick Taylor and his theory of 'scientific management.' Taylor's time-and-motion metrics sought to bring regularity and predictability to bear on the increasingly detailed division of labor. Under such a regimen, previously holistic craft expertise rapidly degraded into the mindless execution of single repetitive tasks, with each worker performing only one operation in the overall process. Because of its effect on workers' knowledge, de-skilling is a term strongly associated with mass production. And as skill disappeared, so did the unique voice of the craftsman."
"The organization was elegantly simple, if not terribly humane. Atop the management hierarchy resided near-omniscient knowledge of products and manufacturing methods. In the case of Ford, product design, process design, marketing strategy, and other critical functions were chiefly the province of one man, Henry. This knowledge was translated into work orders that were executed by an increasingly layered cadre of lieutenants who directed a large but largely unskilled workforce. This style of command-and-control management worked best for single product-lines with few parts and simple processes."
"Mass production, mass marketing, and mass media have constituted the Holy Trinity of American business for at least a hundred years. The payoffs were so huge that the mindset became an addiction, a drug blinding its users to changes that began to erode the old axioms attaching to economies of scale."
"These changes were gradual at first. Even early on, 'economies of scope' began to be perceived. General Motors broke Ford's run on the Model T - an impossibly long product cycle by today's standards - by offering cars that were not black, and even came in different styles to suit different tastes and pocketbooks. Heinz discovered it could make not just, say, mustard, but '57 varieties' of condiments in the same factory. Consumers began to have a wider range of choice, and they warmed quickly to their new options."
"But things got more complicated on the management side. As more products were launched, organizations became increasingly bureaucratic and business functions more isolated from each other. This was de-skilling of a higher order: design, production, and marketing knowledge began to fractionate, and in some cases, to atrophy."
"The real watershed came when offshore producers, finally recovered from the Second World War, began to penetrate U.S. markets. With the oil embargo of the early 1970s, small, fuel-efficient cars began looking highly attractive to people stalled in long gas lines. Companies like Honda, Toyota, and Volkswagen exploded into the North American market like a tsunami. The challenge to U.S. manufacturers was not to offer just trivial feature alternatives, but whole new designs. In a classic reversal, what was suddenly good for America was anything but good for General Motors. The auto industry didn't see these changes coming, and as a result lost enormous market share to offshore competitors."
"Overnight, global competition turned mass markets into thousands of micro markets. Nike now makes hundreds of different styles of shoes. The Wall Street Journal coined the term sneakerization to describe a phenomenon affecting nearly every industry."
"Competition is healthy, we'd been told from birth, because it breeds greater choice. But now competition was out of control and old-guard notions of brand allegiance evaporated like mist in the rising sun onslaught from Japan, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Choice and quality ruled the day, and consumer enthusiasm for the resulting array of new product options forever undermined the foundations of yesterday's mass-market economy."
"The relentless search for market niches drove a steep increase in new product introductions, which in turn required an exponential increase in design and process knowledge. There were just two problems. First, mass-production-oriented business processes had been 'stove-piped' into non-communicating bureaucratic business functions. Second, workers long told to 'check your brain at the door,' were ill-equipped for the dynamic changes about to wreak havoc on the corporation."
"Today, many large companies offer flashy bread-and-circus entertainments on the Web. These offerings have all the classic earmarks of the mass-market come-on: lowest-common-denominator programming developed to package and deliver market segments to mass merchandisers. This is not what most people want…"
"Just as GM mistook the Hondas and VWs for a passing fad, most corporations today are totally misreading this invasion from Webspace. Their brand will save them. Right. Their advertising budget will save them. Uh-huh. More bandwidth will save them. Sure. Well,…something will save them. They're just not too sure what it is yet. But the clock is now ticking in Internet time. Maybe they should get a clue. And quick."

Hi everyone!
Here's another For the birds card. I really like how this one came out!
I started with a Basic Gray card base. Then added a Basic Gray layer that I embossed with the Chevron embossing folder. I popped this layer using dimensionals. It really gives some depth to the card! I do this often.
I stamped the image on watercolor paper with staz-on jet black ink and then using the Apotechary labels framelits I cut it out. You will notice that the label is smaller than the die. I cut it and lined it up to one edge and cut it, then slided the piece down and cut the other edge to size. I will need to take picture to show you how I make the smaller size label or make a short video.
I used ink pads and aqua painter to color the image. Then added some I am me dsp and some calypso coral bakery twine.

Snugpak Ionosphere - Written for Bikepackersmagazine.com
Good day. Are you a lone traveler? Less popular than Bigfoot? Do you cry yourself to sleep every night? No friends, love interests or even cats? Well listen up. It's Jack, the crazy bard from BicycleTouringApocalypse.com and I'm here to tell you that cats are overrated anyway! Hushhh…stop your crying and pay attention.
In the past the best form of lightweight shelter for the solo explorer has been the tarp and there can be no question that this beautifully simple shelter remains a fantastic option for bikepacking. However, with an armada of extremely lightweight one-man tents available it begs the question, why settle for less? Thus, with nothing left to lose…no friends…no lover…no cats…I decided to take the plunge and commit to one such lightweight tent.
As you'd expect from a freelance travel journalist, I'm rolling in the dosh! I burn fifties for fun, buy Ferraris to crush with my tank and travel with no less than two supermodels on each arm. Therefore, my budget was an almighty…£150. Ok, so I'm pretty broke. I'd like to say I live hand to mouth, but in recent months even that seems like a luxury. In all honesty I already have a two man Hilleberg (I know, Billy no mates, who was I kidding) and thus couldn't justify another premium tent. So you can only imagine my shock when I got a tent that rivaled Hilleberg build quality for under my budget.
Snugpak was established in the 1970's as a small UK based company. However, over the years their high quality equipment has gained recognition as some of the best outdoor gear on the market. Consequently, Snugpak are now used globally by the US, European and Australian militaries. The company produces clothing, sleeping bags, rucksacks, camping accessories and other outdoor essentials. The brand has a range of tents from 1-4 persons and includes a solo shelter, the Stratosphere and a one-man tent, the Ionosphere. The Stratosphere (1.13kg inc pegs) is basically a waterproof coffin. I actually think it's pretty cool, but it really is just somewhere to sleep, don't expect any guests! Whilst the Ionosphere is only slightly heavier at 1.5kg, yet is a proper tent with plenty of room for gear and even a second person…providing you're happy to spoon! The Stratosphere is an excellent option for a short weekend trip or where basic shelter is the only necessity. However, my travelling arrangements require a little more space than Dracula so I opted for the slightly heavier, but more versatile, Ionosphere. The Ionosphere can be ordered from the Snugpak website (www.snugpak.com) for £149.95 and quite frankly that's an absolute bargain. There are lighter one-man tents out there, but for the price the Ionosphere is hard to beat.
The Ionosphere was delivered to my parents' house meaning I only had one chance to test it out…the night before I left for my tour…in the front room. I have to say my folks genuinely looked concerned for my mental health as I casually pitched the tent in the lounge! The tent arrived in a very compact box and I couldn't help thinking it was going to be tiny. The pictures below give you some idea of the tent's packed dimensions.
However, once pitched the tent took up the whole front room. I was seriously impressed; my parents were not. The Ionosphere really is spacious, I'm six foot two and there's more than enough room for me. Moreover, the tent has loads of space for all my gear or a second person at a squeeze.
Once the waterproof outer layer is secured there's enough space between the inner mesh and the outer section to store shoes/helmet if needed. There are also two small pockets built into the inner mesh, which are very handy for essentials.
The outer waterproof layer is simply placed evenly over the inner mesh and secured using lightweight aluminum pegs. Once erect the tent provides a seriously stable and weather resistant shelter with excellent ventilation. On my trip the Ionosphere took torrential rain and gale force winds in its stride. I can imagine the lower profile may frustrate individuals who are used to more headroom. However, the smaller dimensions make the tent more streamlined in strong winds and more discreet when wild camping (the Ionosphere only comes in Olive, a colour that clearly reflects the brand's military links. As a result the tent offers excellent woodland camouflage).
The two-layer design does have its drawbacks, especially in wet weather. If it's raining it's very difficult to pitch the inner mesh quick enough to prevent the entire tent becoming waterlogged. Thus, I would have personally preferred the inner layer to be built into the waterproof outer layer. I endured a great deal of wet weather in Europe and at times I longed for the Hilleberg's all in one design. That said, with practice I did develop a technique, which involved laying the waterproof layer over the inner mesh as I inserted the poles to prevent waterlogging, but it wasn't foolproof. Nevertheless, once pitched the tent is truly superb in the rain. I had several days of torrential downpours that lasted all night and I remained perfectly dry with the exceptional light dusting of moisture when the rain was hitting the tent like bullets.
The Ionosphere has one entrance and I'd recommend getting in feet first to avoid a hilarious three point turn on all fours! The zips are very well made but I would advise caution when using the outer layer zip as it has a tendency to catch on the loose material that covers it.
The Snugpak Ionosphere is a great value, lightweight, high quality, easy to pitch one-man tent that provides excellent shelter even in torrential rain and strong winds. The traditional tarp remains an incredibly useful shelter for bikepacking and is perfectly adequate for long weekend rides in moderate weather. However, on longer trips and in more demanding weather conditions there can be no question that one-man tents like the Ionosphere provide more dependable shelter from the elements. So there you have it, a quick round up of the Snugpak Ionosphere, perhaps the best tent for loners like you and me. Oh and if by some miracle you find someone who's willing to embark on your crazy bikepacking adventures with you, Snugpak do a lightweight two-man option!

Name of the river.
Country (or countries) through which it flows.
Geographic name of the area where the most engineering took place (can be city, state, province, and so forth).
Time period(s) when those engineering works took place (example: 1900–1912, 2010–current)
Answered By: Linda Kern Last Updated: Feb 10, 2017 Views: 97
Two librarians have looked extensively for such a list, and we haven't been able to locate one. Apparently river engineering is so common that lists aren't kept. As I mentioned to your peer, there are 85,000 dams in the US alone. That's a bunch of rivers.
The additional information about the assignment that you provided leads me to think that your professor doesn't intend for you to locate and use such a list. I think the prof wants you to construct the list. To do that, you may want to search Ebrary Academic Complete, one of our eBook collections. Searching "river engineering" yielded a large number of books, such as Confluence: The Nature of Technology and the Remaking of the Rhône, Great Rivers History, and Unnatural Metropolis : Wresting New Orleans from Nature.
I also suggest that you Google "heavily engineered rivers". This search will yield reputable sources discussing engineered rivers in arid lands (site includes several maps), the Mississippi/Atchafalaya River Basin which is probably the most heavily engineered river in the US, and the River Quaggy in the UK. Searching engineering projects such as "largest dams in the world" will also give you great results.
I gave your colleague a short list of other projects that I came across as we looked for the list. Search the projects you find in the eBooks and in Google.
If your professor is who I think it is, be sure to include projects by the Tennessee Valley Authority. The TVA is one of his favorites.
