text: The story of the Glyptotek is inextricably bound up with brewing magnate Carl Jacobsen's love of sculpture. He fell in love first with La Musique – a beautiful, nearly nude woman of marble, playing the violin, the work of the French salon artist Eugène Delaplanche. It is with her that the adventure began and the infatuations took hold, running side by side with Carl's collecting mania. In 1888 he donated his enormous collection of sculpture and other art to the Danish state and thus planted the seeds of what would grow into the Glyptotek, which today houses a world-class collection of sculpture from antiquity and ancient Egypt, as well as French and Danish sculpture from the 19th and 20th centuries. The guided tour takes you round the whole museum, giving us the chance to focus closely on some of the Glyptotek's absolute highlights.

text: I bought one and enjoy it alot. After purchase I stripped, lubed it, and hand racked the slide 400 times. I also polished the feed ramp. Broke it in with CCI mini mags which worked very well. I now use Federal Bulk and will get an occasional fte. I use it as a practice gun and close range target gun. I enjoy it and think it is a much fun as my first bb gun. Many people will tell you that it is nothing but trouble. I do not think that is especially true with the newer guns. They may not be perfect but they are a lot of fun. I have +1000 rds through it and everything is fine. Good luck making a choice.

Magical bellet classes for the little onesBy Larisa Zilenkov on 28/02/2016 9:36:07 PM
My daughter and I have been attending tutu toddler classes at Tutu Studios in Alexandria for two terms, after previously going to Randwick and Clovelly classes, also at Tutu Studios. Both my daughter and I (not embarrassed to admit the latter) love these beautiful, magical classes. Each class is made up of playful and wonderful classical pieces of music for children and (...)

So gorgeous you get misty eyed...frequently!By Lauren on 30/01/2016 12:28:17 PM
My daughter began in the tutu toddlers class when she was 2.5 - I'm not sure who enjoyed that class more, me or her! She is now 6 and her delight in attending hasn't waned in the least. I'm constantly impressed by the enthusiasm and professionalism of the teachers, my daughter leaves every class feeling like a 'proper ballerina' but, most importantly, has fun. The end of y (...)

Most importantly my daughter has fun and loves going to class!
Beautiful and creative danceBy Li on 15/01/2016 5:47:14 PM
My daughter Sophia has been in Tutu Studio's ballet class for two years since she was aged two and half. I can see how she enjoys it. When she took the trial class, I did not expect she stay. However, after her class was over, she did not leave until she watched the next class finished, because the class was so attractive. It has been her 'happy hour'every week. She and he (...) Read more
Love Tutu Studios!By Christine on 15/01/2016 1:15:17 PM
We love Miss Elke and Tutu Studios. The classes are perfectly geared towards little dancers with a mix of play, make believe, classical music and the beginnings of dance technique.
A wonderful introduction to Classical Ballet.By Alexa Heckmann on 6/01/2016 6:52:13 AM
Having enjoyed a career in dance I wanted to find a ballet school that gave my daughter the same fulfilment that I had experienced. I wanted her introduction to be a joyful experience yet still be taught the fundamentals of the art form. I couldn't have asked for more in Tutu Studios, in particular Miss Elke! Her teaching methods are so gentle yet structured through the (...) Read more

Miss Elke's unique teaching approach and passion for ballet results in making every class very special for every ballerina. Miss Elke creates challenges, fun and skill in every lesson. Her gentle nature and how she interacts with the students, parents and extended family is magical and very inspiring. I would highly recommend Tutu Studios
Beautiful dance studioBy Nora on 30/01/2015 2:44:52 PM
My daughter has been going to this dance studio for over 2 years and absolutely loves it. Miss Elke is such a fantastic dance teacher and has such a lovely way with the children.
Great Dance SchoolBy eva.lo.319 on 30/01/2015 2:09:03 PM
My 4 year old daughter just loves going to ballet at Tutu Studios. The classes are fun and the teachers are amazing. My 2 girls just adore Miss Elke (who taught my eldest daughter) and Miss Belinda (who teaches Catrina) – the teachers are really caring, encouraging, patient and they do a wonderful job with the children. Would definitely recommend this dance school !

The tropics harbor the highest species diversity on the planet. I am most intrigued by evolution at the tips of the tree of life. My students and I study genetic structure in tropical birds and other organisms to address how this diversity evolved and how it continues to evolve as climates change and humans continue to alter landscapes.
We study comparative genetic structure and evolution primarily in the Afrotropics, the Neotropics, and the Asian tropics. I am an ornithologist, but students working with me and my wife Shannon Hackett and other museum curators also have studied amphibians and small mammals (bats and rodents) and more recently internal, external and blood parasites (e.g., Lutz et al. 2015, Block et al. 2015, Patitucci et al. 2016). Research in the our lab has involved gathering and interpreting genetic data in both phylogeographic and phylogenetic frameworks. Phylogenetic work on Neotropical birds has focused on rates of diversification and comparative biogeography (Tello and Bates 2007, Pantané et al 2009, Patel et al. 2011, Lutz et al. 2013, Dantas et al. 2015). Phylogeographic work has sought to understand comparative patterns of divergence at level of population and species across different biomes (Bates et al 2003, Bates et al. 2004, Bowie et al. 2006, I. Caballero dissertation research, Block et al. 2015, Winger and Bates 2015, Lawson et al. 2015). We also have used genetic data to better understand evolutionary patterns in relation to climate change across landscapes (e.g., Carnaval and Bates 2007) that include the Albertine Rift (through our MacArthur Grants, e.g., Voelker et al. 2010, Engel et al. 2014), the Eastern Arc Mountains (Lawson dissertation research, Lawson et al. 2015), the Philippines (T. Roberts and S. Weyandt dissertation research) and South America, particularly the Amazon (Savit dissertation research, Savit and Bates 2015, Figueiredo et al. 2013), and we are entering into the genomic realm focusing initially on Andean (Winger et al. 2015) and Amazonian birds (through our NSF Dimensions of Diversity grant). Shane DuBay is doing his dissertation research in the Himalayas on physiological plasticity in Tarsiger Bush Robins. Nick Crouch, who I co-advise at U. Illinois, Chicago with Roberta Mason-Gamer, is studying specialization in birds from a modern phylogenetic perspective. We seek to create a broader understanding of diversification in the tropics from a comparative biogeographic framework (Silva and Bates 2002, Kahindo et al, 2007, Bates et al. 2008, Antonelli et al. 2009). João Capurucho (U. Illinois, Chicago, co-advised with Mary Ashley) is studying phlylogeography of Amazonian white sand specialist birds and Natalia Piland (Committee on Evolutionary Biology, U. Chicago) is studying the impact of urbanization on Neotropical birds. New graduate student Valentina Gomez Bahamon (U. Illinois, Chicago) is also working Boris Igic and me, after doing her Master Degree in her native Colombia on genomics and the evolution of migrating Fork-tailed Flycatchers (Tyrannus savana). Jacob Cooper (Committee on Evolutionary Biology, U. Chicago) is studying the diversification of birds in Afromonte forests
Josh Engel and I are working up multi-species phylogeographic studies of birds across the Albertine Rift, based the Bird Division's long term research throughout the region. We are working up similar data sets for Malawian birds. Our current NSF Dimensions of Diversity grant on the assembly of the Amazonian biota and our NSF grant to survey birds and their parasites across the southern Amazon are generating genomic data for analysis in collaboration with paleoecologists, climatologists, geologists, and remote sensing experts from the U.S. and Brazil. These large collaborative projects are providing new perspectives on the history of Amazonia.

No Spare Tire?
September 29th, 2016
Believe it or not, many new vehicles come without a spare tire. Manufacturers have a few different reasons for that, including weight savings, space efficiency, and cost. When you're stuck by the side of the road, though, none of that really matters much, does it?
Instead, these vehicles come equipped with an inflation kit and/or a can of sealant.
Sealant is a gooey substance in an aerosol can that's designed to coat the inside of the tire due to centrifugal force once you get rolling again, hopefully sealing the puncture. These products, such as Fix-A-Flat, have been on the market for decades and tend to work pretty well on a minor puncture. They're not a permanent fix, however. Your speed should be limited after using ...[more]

Things To Look For When Buying a Used Car
September 15th, 2016
Buying a used car is somewhat less of a crapshoot than it was at one time. You can get detailed information on a vehicle's history via the CARFAX report, and a technician can use onboard diagnostics to get a good picture of what's going on under the hood and what problems might be coming up.
It's always a good idea to get a mechanic to look over any prospective purchase, but there are things you can get a look at yourself before you spend the money for a professional inspection. These are things which will give you a pretty good idea of the kind of use and maintenance a vehicle has seen before you got it.
-- Put your head against a fender and sight down the side of the vehicle with one eye. Look out for ripples or ...[more]

Dr. Beverly Scott, General Manager,
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)
The MBTA serves over 1.2 million riders every day over multiple transportation modes and operates with a budget of $1.65 billion dollars. Within the context of constant fiscal pressure and long-term underinvestment in transportation maintenance, keeping the MBTA running is a challenge. The woman responsible for meeting that challenge is Beverly Scott, the incoming General Manager of the MBTA. Prior to coming to the MBTA, Dr. Scott served as Chief Executive Officer/ General Manager of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA). Previously, she served as General Manager and Chief Executive Officer of the Sacramento Regional Transit District (SRTD). Prior to that, she served as the General Manager of the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA), one of four statewide public transit systems in the United States. She has held senior level positions at the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT), the Washington Metropolitan Transportation Authority (WMATA), and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART).

The skin on your back is tougher than on your face and the sebum (oil) glands are much larger. While the treatment goal for acne medications that you use on your back and body should be the same as for your face (treating the cause of acne, not the resulting blemish), you'll need to select different products to deliver those medications to account for the tougher skin on your back. Murad's back and body acne products are developed to exfoliate tough skin to allow the active ingredient Salicylic Acid to penetrate and clear body breakouts effectively.
Before you begin your acne treatment regimen, make sure that you understand acne's causes and your medication options so you can distinguish acne facts from acne myths.

Fox News Politicizes Girl's Lung Transplant To Attack Obamacare
Fox News' Peter Johnson Jr., used a severely ill girl to smear health care reform with falsehoods.
After spending months on a pediatric donor list without success, on June 12, Sarah Murnaghan, a 10 year old diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, received [1] a needed lung transplant. This follows her family's successfully petition to the Department of Health and Human Services and the federal judiciary to have her placed on an adult transplant list. Murnaghan was initially placed a pediatric organ transplant wait list as opposed to an adult transplant wait list, due to her age. NYU medical ethicist Art Caplan explained [2] the purpose behind different transplant lists to USA Today: "Adult lungs don't fit well in children's bodies, and that makes it hard to transplant them. You are looking at using a piece of lung instead of a whole lung, and that makes it makes it a more difficult procedure and less likely to work." Fox's Peter Johnson, Jr., took a personal interest [3] in Murnaghan's attempt to be placed on an adult transplant list.
Johnson politicized Murnaghan's difficult situation by dubiously asserting that her difficulty with receiving the lung would be commonplace once health care reform is fully implemented. He baselessly reasoned that the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), a board created by the health care reform law and designed to contain Medicare costs [4] would deny some people the health care they need, claiming that this was his "fear going forward":
JOHNSON Jr.: I think the lesson of Sarah, the Murnaghan and the Ruddock family is that a lot of us, going forward are going to face this type of travail. When you have advisory boards like the organ advisory board, when you have independent advisory boards that are created by Congress under Obamacare to reduce Medicare, when you have boards appointed by the Secretary of Health and Human Service, when you politicize medicine, girls like Sarah, boys like Javier Acosta may die when they shouldn't die. And so that's really the lesson of Sarah.
And the question that we all face as Americans going forward, are we going to have to hire lawyers? Are we going to have to call people at Fox News? Are we going to have to stand out in front of hospitals and in front of Washington offices and say, please give us the health care that the doctors say we can provide, but you are holding back. That is my fear going forward. So a lot on the left are saying 'oh you want to make this about death panels. Sarah would've died, but for public attention and a pro bono law firm. And so I'm afraid what we're facing as a result of Obamacare is new Obamacare courts where hundreds of thousands of Americans will have to go into court and get the health care that they need. That's my great fear this morning.
Contrary to what Johnson says, IPAB is prohibited by law [5] from making "any recommendation to ration health care ... or otherwise restrict benefits" for Medicare recipients. Indeed, PolitiFact Ohio found [6] the claim that IPAB "can ration care and deny certain Medicare treatments to be a "pants-on-fire" level falsehood.
In using Sarah Murnaghan's situation to attack Obamacare, Johnson Jr. does the very thing he decried; he "politicize[d] medicine."

Employer Talent Development
Talent Development
By providing comprehensive training and continuing professional development for our employees, we ensure that the quality of our service and advice continues to evolve while taking market requirements into account. Our Talent Development area offers employees continuous training and development opportunities. The various learning programs available are designed to strengthen the competences of our employees and to prepare talented individuals for key roles within the organization.
Quality Assurance in Client Advisory Services
Talent Development's specialist units work with the different business areas to develop training programs designed to train employees, managers, and young talents to be professional and reliable partners for our clients.
Ensuring a high level of client satisfaction is essential to our business. We want to make sure that our products and services meet the needs of our clients and that we enjoy their sustained trust through professional and comprehensive advice.
Client Advisor Programs
Enhanced Advisory Quality: Certification of Relationship Managers
We are committed to continuously improving the quality of our advisory services and to protecting the interests of our clients. Our relationship managers in the Swiss Universal Bank, Asia Pacific and International Wealth Management divisions complete our Frontline Training certification program to ensure that we provide clients with clear and comprehensive information about products, explain potential investment risks and returns, and tailor our advice to their individual needs. Since the launch of the initiative in 2010, all current client advisors have been certified. All new employees also take part in it. To date, approximately 5,500 advisors have been certified worldwide.
In 2015, Credit Suisse agreed with other banks to introduce a certification standard for relationship managers to strengthen the Swiss financial center. This new SAQ standard is designed to ensure high-quality expertise, intensified cooperation between Swiss banks and institutions in the area of professional development and enhanced transparency and acceptance of training activities, thus benefiting employees. Because our Credit Suisse specific expertise is key providing our clients with the best possible solutions, we also organize comprehensive and tailored bank specific training curricula and a variety of events and training courses where our employees can share best practices with one another and improve their advisory competences.
Committed to Compliance and Control
Maintaining a robust compliance and control culture is another important way in which we gain the trust of clients, as well as investors and regulators. At Credit Suisse, we strive to conduct our activities according to the highest standards of due diligence and in strict compliance with legal and regulatory requirements in all our markets globally.
In 2014, we laid the foundations for the long-term transformation of our culture with the launch of a global initiative consisting of a set of Business Conduct Behaviors that are in line with our Code of Conduct and that our employees are expected to observe in their day-to-day activities. We are integrating these Behaviors into our global human resources and business practices, as well as our performance management system.
We expect each employee to be personally accountable for ensuring the activities within their remit are compliant with our internal rules and policies and for reporting or escalating issues of concern. This is essential to safeguard the interests of clients and investors and to protect our own business activities and reputation. Our focus on compliance is also mirrored by our proactive steps to further strengthen our cross-border framework.
In order for our employees to acquire the necessary knowledge regarding constantly changing regulatory requirements, and to ensure that they always act responsibly and in compliance with the rules, they are required to complete, and are tested on, legal- and compliance-related learning modules. Depending on the topic, the learning modules must be completed by certain groups of employees or by the entire workforce. Mandatory modules for all employees include topics such as combatting money laundering, trade sanctions, storage and recording of business documents, and IT risks.
Furthermore, all client advisors and relationship managers complete training in cross-border business that addresses a market's specific regulatory conditions. In addition, our regulations for cross-border banking business provide employees who have direct client contact with guidelines and country-specific information, and they shed light on which activities are allowed in which countries. We continuously monitor developments in this area and revise our internal guidelines accordingly.
Compliance Academy
The General Counsel division provides legal and compliance support to all of the bank's divisions. It helps protect the reputation of Credit Suisse by giving legal and regulatory advice, by setting internal policies and by monitoring and testing compliance with policies and regulations.
In light of an increasingly demanding global regulatory environment and a need for well-trained staff, Credit Suisse has launched the General Counsel Academy ("GC Academy") in 2011. The GC Academy presents a way for people entering the industry to gain hands-on training in one of the fastest growing areas of the financial industry. Participants develop core professional skills and industry knowledge through classroom and 'on-the-job' training. GC Academies have now been established in Singapore, Wroclaw, Zurich and New York.
Talent Development Key Figures
In 2015, we offered our employees around the globe a wide range of specialist courses and trainings.
classroom leadership training sessions
participants in instructor-led courses
classroom-delivered training days
thousand participants in e-learning courses
Leadership and Management
We ensure that our managers are optimally equipped to deal with the challenges of the global markets and complex management tasks. Customized management programs and cross-divisional talent programs give our managers the opportunity to prepare for leadership roles or to develop their leadership skills.
We endeavor to provide our employees with continuous opportunities for advancement and to support their career development. Requirements for the highest-level positions and promoting from within are governed by global guidelines, and these form the basis for the Managing Director Evaluation Committee's selection of suitable candidates. The candidates under consideration will have especially proved themselves on account of their performance, their impact on the business, and the exemplary way in which they embody Credit Suisse values. These candidates are then discussed according to a globally consistent process, and put forward for promotion.
Long-term succession planning is another pillar of our human capital strategy. In 2015, we assessed and documented the potential of 91% of our employees in order to systematically identify and track their potential to assume future functions.
Promoting Development and Evaluating Performance
Talent Development aims to empower employees to contribute to our bank's success and to offer the best possible service to our clients.
It is importan that the available programs and tools can be put into practice effectively and that they can support the achievement of business objectives. As a global bank with a workforce of 48,200 employees in around 50 countries, it is imperative that we manage the performance of our people effectively and consistently to ensure that they are delivering results and contributing to the realization of our business objectives.
Our employees' performance objectives are aligned with the bank's strategy, which places clients at the center of all that we do. We measure our employees' performance based on the scale of their contribution to the achievement of our business goals. A globally consistent performance management process enables line managers to assess the performance and development potential of employees on an annual basis.
We offer our employees market-driven and competitive rates of pay based on performance-related compensation structures. In doing so, we not only take account of employee interests but also consider our obligations towards our shareholders and regulators. Our compensation plans are developed in close consultation with shareholders and in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Another way in which we recognize outstanding performance is by presenting our annual CEO Leadership Awards in different categories: Overall Leadership, Client Leadership, Leadership in Compliance & Control, Leadership in Innovation, Leadership in Diversity & Inclusion and Leadership in Corporate Citizenship.
Online Academy
In addition to conveying professional and banking expertise, Talent Development is also responsible for introducing cutting-edge insights and developments using technology-based methods. Traditional training methods are still used, but are now supplemented extremely well by new learning technologies.
Credit Suisse demands and promotes new learning methods to provide its employees with the best learning opportunities. Talent Development uses these technology-supported learning methods to serve younger generations and support a number of different learning styles. In addition to saving significant costs, virtual training and e-learning methods allow the bank to reach all employees globally at the same time. Thanks to these technologies, employees can decide on the best time and place for learning.
Enhanced Learning Efficiency
A number of recent innovations and enhancements have improved learning efficiency:
- Learning Communities: Since 2012 Credit Suisse offers training in learning communities. The members of benefit from sharing their expertise and from formal and informal learning programs.
- Computer becomes Classroom: In the virtual classroom, the PC becomes the training room for participants. They can talk to the person giving the seminar as well as their colleagues. The format saves employees and the bank the travel and accommodation costs that in-person training sessions incur. Other courses were offered in alternative formats such as video conferences, virtual classroom sessions and via podcasts.
- Monthly Management Topics: The global learning page is a proven alternative format for managers: It offers specific content on management topics such as trust and engagement.
- In 2010, we launched "Learning Nuggets", an online series that presents three topics in short e-learning modules, videos, and animated clips every two weeks. The Learning Nuggets series covers subjects including personal performance capacity, tools and applications, basic bank knowledge, intercultural relations, media and communications.
The e-Learning programs enable the bank to train all 48,200 employees in a timely manner. It also enables the bank to keep precise track of participation.
Investing in Young Talent
As part of our strategy to grow our own talent with sustainability, Credit Suisse seeks to recruit promising young professionals and offers them attractive career opportunities to encourage them to stay with the company in the long term. Credit Suisse supports young talent over the long term and offers apprentices, high school graduates, and students in higher education internships, introductory programs that last several months, as well as many professional training options.
By recruiting and promoting talent, we make an important contribution to society while also giving our organization a competitive edge. We therefore maintain regular contact with the world's best universities and universities of applied science. Since 2011, the percentage of externally hired candidates starting their careers at Credit Suisse has risen from 39% to 45%, with 19% joining directly from school or university and 26% coming to Credit Suisse with less than two years of professional experience.
More Career Opportunities for Young Talent
Credit Suisse offers a wide range of opportunities for young people:
- In 2015, we offered over 630 commercial or IT apprenticeships and 76 Junior Banker positions for high school graduates.
- 315 Young Talents[1] completed their apprenticeship or Junior Banking programs at Credit Suisse, against 80 percent of them continue working for Credit Suisse afterwards.
- 275 university students were newly hired for a Career Start Program, and
- an additional 360 internships were offered across a diverse range of bank departments.
In addition to the apprenticeship initiative in Switzerland, Credit Suisse reacted to one of the main worries regularly expressed during the Worry Barometer, unemployment, and invested up to CHF 30 million in training and individual coaching from 2010 to 2015, as part of the youth unemployment initiative "Together Against Youth Unemployment." The training and individual coaching is provided by six non-profit partner organizations, with the goals of improving young people's employment prospects and contributing to education and employment in Switzerland.
We also have various programs to help young people from minorities to enter a career in finance; these programs are run in the US and Australia.

Greetings everyone!
Im very new to the boards but not new to the 501st!
I am looking to put together a Boushh costume for my wife who expressed interest in trooping along with me. (We ran across a Boushh at Celebration Europe II!). So far Im in the research phase and have been told by several sources that this is the best place to start!
So far I have purchased a nice Boushh bucket from Todd which I am very much looking forward to building when it finally arrives!
I look forward to posting my progress for this build and hope you all dont mind the newbish questions as this will be my first armor build alone...I had lots of help with my TB armor.
I do hope to keep the questions that I can research on my own to a minimum.
The post office needs to hurry up and deliver my wife's Boushh helm!

Why do some armed groups commit massive wartime rape, while others never do? Using an original dataset, I describe the substantial variation in rape by armed actors during recent civil wars and test a series of competing causal explanations. I find evidence that the recruitment mechanism is associated with the occurrence of wartime rape. Specifically, the findings support an argument about wartime rape as a method of socialization, in which armed groups that recruit by force— through abduction or pressganging—use rape to create unit cohesion. I examine observable implications of the argument, based on months of fieldwork, in case studies of the conflicts in Sierra Leone, El Salvador and Timor-Leste, and consider some of the longterm consequences of conflict-related mass rape.

The Clientele
The London-based band formed in mid-1997, consisting of Alasdair MacLean (guitar and vocals), Innes Phillips (guitar and vocals), James Hornsey (bass), and Howard (drums). Mark Keen replaced the academically occupied Howard toward the end of 1999; Phillips left early on to form the Relict, a group with a varied membership that has occasionally included Clientele members. After debuting on the Fierce Panda label's Cry Me a Liver compilation, the Clientele released a slew of singles, compilation contributions, and EPs in short order. Most significantly, March released A Fading Summer in 2000, an EP that harvested some of the band's hard-to-find singles and a couple new recordings. Later that year, the full-length Suburban Light (another compilation of previously recorded material) was issued by Pointy.
The band hooked up with Merge in early 2001, which issued Suburban Light in the U.S. months later. The Lost Weekend EP came out on Acuarela in 2002, which was followed a year later by their first proper album and Merge debut, The Violet Hour. Strange Geometry arrived in 2005, and in 2006 the band added keyboardist/violinist/percussionist Mel Draisey to its ranks. God Save the Clientele, which featured production by Mark Nevers of the band's U.S. labelmates Lambchop, was released in spring 2007. Bonfires on the Heath, another release for Merge, was issued during fall 2009. The Minotaur EP, which followed in August of 2010, was made up of songs recorded during the sessions for Bonfires on the Heath.
Despite the Clientele's claims of giving up touring after their worldwide jaunt promoting Bonfires, they returned to the U.S. for live dates after the EP's release. Soon after these dates, however, the group members announced they were going on indefinite hiatus. MacLean formed a new band called Amor de Dias, and the rest went their separate ways until re-forming (minus Draisey) to play a one-off show in 2013 at the Pop Revo festival in Denmark. Things remained quiet on the recording front, and the band surprised many fans by scheduling a U.S. tour in early 2014 to coincide with Merge's 25th birthday festivities and the deluxe reissue of Suburban Light. The release of the career retrospective Alone and Unreal: the Best of The Clientele in September of 2015 provided the band another excuse to play a live show, while MacLean set fans hearts a flutter by sharing the news in an interview that the band had one side of a new album finished. ~ Andy Kellman

HAZELWOOD, MO -- Dynamic Vending, based here, has acquired a St. Louis vending operation from Aramark. Dynamic founder Josh Koritz reported that the purchase included the vending machines and vehicles on the four Aramark routes, plus all the inventory.
Koritz said that the acquisition was especially valuable because the majority of Aramark's locations were easy to add to his company's dynamically scheduled routes.
"We combined all the routes by putting wireless on all the machines," he told VT. This enabled Dynamic to integrate most of the Aramark stops into its own delivery structure, eliminating three routes without losing sales. One of the Aramark route drivers has joined the Dynamic field service team.
The acquisition also has substantially boosted Dynamic Vending's sales volume in the St. Louis market, strengthening the company's purchasing power. "We used Cantaloupe [Seed] wireless boxes and the LightSpeed Automation picking system to achieve a seamless transition," Koritz said.
Dynamic Vending has been applying remote monitoring, depletion forecasting and warehouse prekitting to the ongoing task of improving route efficiency. The company had 43 routes a year ago, and now, counting those acquired from Aramark, has 34.
Koritz reports that this reduction has been attained without impairing volume growth; he is projecting an 8% increase in sales.

(Fort McMurray, AB), for tour of Dynamic's warehouse and demonstration of its LightSpeed Automation computer-controlled stock-picking navigation system. Koritz started Dynamic Vending as a one-man, one-machine operation and has grown it steadily by applying new technology that maximizes customer service and increases sales while reducing costs. | SEE STORY

More on the homebirth study fracas some indepth reading
This is an extract from Croakey (the Crikey Health Blog) that you might find interesting:
Regular readers may remember there was some vigorous discussion at Croakey earlier this year after a SA study comparing the outcomes for homebirths and hospital births generated misleading headline. The coverage largely reflected the slant put on the study by the Medical Journal of Australias press release and an accompanying editorial by the AMA president, Dr Andrew Pesce (see here, here and here, for example of the previous Croakey posts).
This is a great article that highlights the media's misrepresentation of research to suit their own circumstances. The research article that all the reports were based upon was extremely poor in design and not something you could use to make an informed decision about homebirth. While I must admit some of the media in the last 12 months has been quite positive on homebirth - I was amazed at the speed and misrepresentation of this particular piece of research. Love to hear your thoughts ...

Jc you're absolutely right bro, on both counts lol. Yes, you did see some 12back figs in there (all missing the pop's unfortunately but otherwise really nice, I think I talked about them briefly as well)
The third (and thank god FINAL) installment of the videos is now up and running. Check it! :P
you've nearly got as much stuff as kenner and Hasbro, great collection , I wouldn't want to put a price tag on it
Thanks ICE. Yeah there's just about equal amounts although I'd have to say there's a bit more Hasbro in there. A price tag?? Ugh I wouldn't want to put one on it either lol
have you seen the obiwan ranch?
Yes I sure have (well not in person yet anyway lol), but that man's collection is INSANE
I pooped a little when I watched a video on it on youtube...
Yeah man, I'd LOVE to go there some day and spend like 6 hours in there looking at everything lol!
Just watched the other 2 vids. Great collection. Near the end of vid 3 when you showed the gold coin figs you showed a concept Luke, was he in a black suit? I've never seen that one before. I'm trying to get the RM gold coin concepts, so far I only have the white boba and holiday special boba with the gold coin. I'm also looking for the gold coin malak and revan.
I need a 3rd bedroom for my collection to be pulled out and displayed :/
I only have a handful of pieces, and I think my boba and hic, revan and bane figures are my favorites.
Jc, no I think that was just the bad lighting in the room lol. I'm pretty sure that it's a blue vest (although now I really need to go check cause you got me wondering haha). Those gold coin chase figs are pretty sweet though. I only have the one that I showed, and I got super lucky picking that one up.
Dom, I hear ya bro. I could actually fill up a second spare bedroom with all my **** if I was to completely spread it out and display it properly where you could see EVERYTHING) O.o
Thanks again guys for taking the time to watch it, hope you enjoyed them!
LOL! Nice.
I'm picturing a Sideshow board meeting discussing all of the different stormtroopers they can make and whomever is making the pitch closes with "and of course Lou has to buy them all!"
Next time Im in ABQ lock your **** up, cause all that awesome may disapear

With just over a billion people around the world having a smartphone in 2012, and the next billion smartphone adopters joining in within the next five years, smartphones have reached a tipping point. Malcolm Gladwell defines the tipping point as "the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point" within a sociological ecosystem. A technology hits critical mass when one-fifth of the population adopts it. For smartphones, developed economies witnessed this phenomenon in 2011.
North America and Europe top the global smartphone penetration rates, at 47% and 35%, respectively. However, they are outpaced in terms of the sheer number of users by the Asia Pacific region. In fact, China alone already has more smartphone users than any other country in the world. And our forecast shows that Asia Pacific is also the fastest-growing region for smartphone adoption, projected to increase by approximately 20% per year.
In the Forrester Research World Smartphone Forecast 2012 To 2017 (Global), we investigate the size, speed, operating system (OS) dominance, and user demographics of the competitors in the world's smartphone showdown. Younger and wealthier adults are the early adopters of smartphones, but there will be a gradual progression toward adoption by lower-income and older adults as smartphones become cheaper and the offerings of basic phones become more limited.

Kettler Hall was IPFW's first building. The groundbreaking took place on October 18, 1962, the cornerstone was placed on September 17, 1963, it opened on September 17, 1964, and was dedicated on November 8, 1964. On May 15, 1973 it was named to honor Fort Wayne civic leader, Alfred W. Kettler, Sr. (1892-1985). Kettler, a Purdue trustee, Purdue President Frederick Hovde, IU President Herman B. Wells, and IU trustee John Hastings were instrumental in bringing IU and Purdue together in Fort Wayne. In 1992 the mortgage on the building was fully paid. The original cost of Kettler Hall (which included the physical plant building and the extension service building) was $5,600,000.
