Bob Evans Job Opportunities
Bob Evans represents a sound opportunity for entry-level workers to gain industry experience while working for a family-oriented company. The restaurant chain places high importance on work ethics in relation to traditional, family sentiments. Applicants must demonstrate friendly, attentive, courteous, and personable attitudes during the hiring process to receive employment consideration. Prospective associates must also embody several qualities of character, including fairness and teamwork.
Hourly positions available with the prominent restaurant chain encompass six areas of employment. Workers may choose from entry-level job titles in serving, hosting, dishwashing, and food prep. Bob Evans jobs also include career options in management. Experience working with the general public typically proves a standard requirement for hire. However, potential employees may gain employment without formal experience for most entry-level positions.
Bob Evans Employment and Pay Scales
While entry-level restaurant jobs generally only require applicants to possess previous and related experience at most, careers in management enforce stricter qualifications for employment consideration. Job seekers must hold a high school diploma and stand at least 19 years of age to work as managers. The popular chain also requires managers to possess a minimum of two to four years of experience in a family-oriented restaurant setting. Entry-level employment hopefuls need only stand 16 years of age. Common jobs for hire include the ones listed below:
Hourly Staff – Restaurant hourly positions include a wide variety of titles encompassing multiple responsibilities. Applicants 16 and over looking for restaurant experience may take interest in host, server, dish tank operator, bus person, kitchen prep, or grill cook jobs. Each position entails different and specific tasks. Servers bring food and drinks to tables and take orders. Hosts seat guests and greet patrons upon arrival. Bus persons clear tables, while dish tank operators clean used silverware, plates, and kitchen equipment. Kitchen prep and grill cook employees prepare food and drink for consumption. Associates must act in responsible, detail-oriented manners at all times, with special attention paid to health and safety standards set forth by the company. Most hourly staff jobs feature part-time schedules. Applicants should denote flexible availability to increase odds of hiring. Individuals showing motivation to work also receive considerable favoritism during the hiring process. Hourly staff earn between minimum wage and $8.00 upon hire.
Restaurant Management – Career-minded individuals with industry experience and self-driven attitudes make perfect candidates for managerial openings. Available job titles include assistant manager, kitchen manager, and general manager. Main responsibilities range from supervising entry-level workers to coordinating schedules, processing payroll, hiring and training new staff, and marketing promotions. Managers also ensure customer satisfaction and food quality. Kitchen managers in particular pay close attention to OSHA laws governing health and safety standards and enforce protocol as necessary. Assistant managers and kitchen managers earn roughly the same pay, with annual salary options falling between $30,000 and $40,000 on average. General managers enjoy pay scales reaching in excess of $60,000 per year.
Tips For Applying
Demonstrating family values during the interview process probably serves as the best course of action for applicants looking to work at the popular restaurant chain. Bob Evans takes pride in basing operations on family-centric traditions. Potential associates must embody truthful, attentive, genial, and kind qualities in order to gain employment. As a restaurant chain entertaining guests at all hours of the day, the eatery also favors individuals with flexible schedules. Applicants should mark open availability where appropriate on the required employment forms to indicate the ability to adhere to varied work schedules.
Application Status
The swift hiring proceedings implemented by Bob Evans restaurants often negates the necessity of checking back regarding employment status. On average, the hiring process wraps up within a week. The restaurant usually conducts hiring on a rolling, as-needed basis and pulls applications when openings become available. Applicants may decide to call the location of desired employment after submitting the required application forms if no initial contact occurs with hiring staff. The chain generally keeps applications on file for months at a time.

Beautiful Reminder: Luqman's Advice to His Son, Part 2
3. Having Taqwa
How often do we commit small sins, thinking that they're no big deal or that no one will know? As Luqman points out so beautifully, Allah knows EVERYTHING that we do and He will hold us to account.
Explaining verse 16, Ibn Kathir says in his tafsir, "If a wrong action or sin be equal to the size of a grain of mustard seed, He [Allah] will bring it forth on the Day of Resurrection, when it is placed in the Scales of Justice and everyone is rewarded or punished for his actions -- if they are good, he will be rewarded, and if they are bad he will be punished. This is like the ayat...'So, whoever does good equal to the weight of a speck of dust shall see it. And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of a speck of dust shall see it (Qur'an, Al-Zalzalah: 7-8).'"
Because of this, we should have taqwa, fear of Allah. To have proper fear of Allah is to leave all acts of disobedience to Him for those acts that are in obedience to Him, all while hoping for Allah's mercy.
In his book, The Fruits of Taqwa, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih Al-'Uthaymeen mentions the advice a righteous person once gave regarding taqwa: "One of the righteous, wrote to his believing brother: 'I advise you with taqwaa (fear) of Allaah who knows your secrets and sees your open actions, so remember Allaah at every time of the night and day, and fear Allaah according to His nearness, and the power He has over you. And know that He always sees you. And do not leave His Rule for another rule, nor His Dominion, for another dominion, So glorify Him, by fearing Him immensely.'"
Shaykh 'Uthaymeen also quotes Umar ibn Al-Khattab as having wrote to his son, "To proceed: Verily 1 advise you to have taqwaa (fear) of Allaah the Mighty and Majestic, for whoever fears Him, Allaah will protect him, and whoever gives a loan to Him, Allaah will reward him, and whoever thanks Him, Allaah will increase him."
Some of the benefits of having taqwa as outlined in 'Uthaymeen's book include: protecting oneself from the Shaytan, increasing in blessings and good actions, easing difficulty, increasing in Allah's love, attaining knowledge, attaining Allah's mercy, and being amongst those who enter Paradise. May Allah make us among those who have taqwa, ameen!
4. Encouraging Good and Forbidding Wrong
After speaking of Allah, Luqman goes into the next portion of his advice, telling his son to pray, enjoin Al-Maruf and forbid Al-Munkar.
In his work, Enjoining Right and Forbidding Wrong, Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah, defines Al-Maruf as including everything internally and externally that has been allowed by Allah, the Most High, and the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Al-Munkar, by default then, is everything that Allah and his Prophet have forbidden.
According to Ibn Taymiyyah, enjoining right and forbidding wrong is an obligation to be fulfilled to the best of one's ability, sometimes by the tongue, sometimes by the hand, and other times by the heart.
In a hadith narrated in Sahih Muslim, the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said, "Whoever of you sees wrong being committed, let him rectify it with his hand, if he is unable, then with his tongue, and if he us unable, then with his heart, and this is the weakest of faith."
Ibn Taymiyyah quotes a saying from Ibn Masood, radiAllahu anhu, where he was once asked, "Who are the living dead?" His response was, "He who does not acknowledge the right as such, and does not reject the wrong."
An important concept to note is that in our efforts to enjoin good and forbid evil, we must ensure to the best of our ability that what we allow and what we forbid is in accordance with what Allah and His Messenger have set down for us.
Ibn Taymiyyah says, "...the love of a believer for what is good, and his hatred for what is evil, and his desire for the accomplishment of the good and his desire for the avoidance and prevention of evil should be in harmony with what Allah loves and hates.
It is also imperative that in doing these actions, we do them purely for the sake of Allah, to seek His pleasure.
Ibn Taymiyyah says, "It is a requirement of righteous deeds that they be done solely for the Face of Allah ta'ala, for Allah does not accept any actions except for those with which His Face alone was sought. This is as in the sahih hadith narrated by Abu Huraira that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: 'Allah ta'ala says: I am the partner least in need of any partner. Whenever someone does an act, partly for me and partly for an imagined partner, I am completely free of that action, and it is wholly for the partner which was associated with me.'"
None of this can be done without proper knowledge, compassion, and patience.

All About Jazz: Could you tell me about the upcoming Merkin Hall concert?
Gunther Schuller: I am simply what we normally call a "guest conductor. The orchestra will be performing at least twelve pieces. I am only involved with two or three pieces. Sue Mingus would like me to arrange another piece, besides "Noon Night and "Half-Mast Inhibition, for this particular orchestra, taking into consideration the unique instrumentation.
AAJ: So you will just be conducting two tunes?
GS: At least two. I don't know if I will have enough time to arrange another chart so quickly, given the enormous work I am putting into some other projects, but I'm going to try. We haven't even decided which tune it might be. Mingus wrote something like fifty, sixty, seventy pieces, so there's a lot to choose from, but some things would not fit for this orchestra. This group is the smallest of Sue Mingus' orchestras, with a French horn, bass clarinet and instruments that are not normally used in jazz. There are only eight instruments in this group that play pitches, so if you have a piece that Mingus wrote where there are twenty-five notes being played simultaneously, how can you reduce that to eight? Certain of Mingus' pieces will never be possible for this orchestra to play.
I'm amazed that I was able to take a piece like "Half-Mast Inhibition, originally for at least twenty-eight instruments, including eight brass. How do you reduce those harmonies, which are just the background, not the melodic thematic material that's in the front ground; how do you reduce that to eight instruments, none which can play a double stop? Somehow I managed to do it. I've been doing these things all my life; so you learn how to kind of move things around. There are some pieces that are beyond the possibility, "Half-Mast Inhibition I was lucky with.
AAJ: Why, in particular, are the French horn, bass clarinet, and bassoon employed in your arrangements for "Noon Night and "Half-Mast Inhibition ? Is that your musical concept, Mingus' wish, or Sue Mingus' idea?
GS: That's Sue's idea. As well as I know her; I never really knew why she wanted that instrumentation for this group. I was a French horn player a long time ago, playing in the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic. Numerous times I had mentioned to her that I felt that it was a shame that Mingus had never used a French horn, so I think that's where she got that idea. In Epitaph there is a bassoon that Mingus did write for. So now she has a bassoon, French horn, and a bass clarinet, which is unusual and gives it a very special color. Once she created this orchestra, it became a question of, "What charts are we going to play? Of course there was no existing repertoire for it, so Cy Johnson, who has been the main arranger in last ten-to-fifteen years, made most of the arrangements for this particular group and then Sue asked me to arrange some also.
AAJ: How did your longstanding association with Mingus and his music come about?
GS: Well that goes all the way back to 1955, which is a half a century ago. I first saw Mingus, I didn't even know his name or who he was, but I know in retrospect that I heard him play the bass with the [vibraphonist] Lionel Hampton band, and that goes back to 1947, I believe. I loved the bass and I always admired the fact that there where two orchestras that had not one jazz bass, but two. Ellington started using two basses in the 1930s, which was highly usual. Hampton finally used two basses right after World War Two, in the mid-1940s. It turned out that both of Hampton's bass players were very tall, huge guys, and I remember writing in my diary that they looked like two Tyrannosaurus Rexes, when these big guys were leaning over their basses.
Years later I found out that this amazing bassist was a composer named Charles Mingus. Even to this day, far too many people do not know that Mingus is one of the greatest jazz composers. Everybody knows that he was a terrific bassist, and that he was a terrific bandleader and that he also had a very volatile temper. There are lots of stories about him, of course his autobiography is full of interesting things too, but the important thing for me is that next to Ellington, Mingus is so far the greatest composer we've had in jazz. By composer, I mean someone who sits down and writes out the music. Improvisation is obviously also a form of composing, instantaneous composing. Mingus is that rarity amongst jazz musicians, who actually wrote a lot of music just like a symphony composer. Epitaph is one of the longest pieces in jazz history. It is two-and-one-half hours long and consists of nineteen movements.
I became aware of Mingus as a composer with the first piece that he recorded; it is called "Pithecanthropus Erectus (circa 1953). Then I met him through John Lewis, the pianist with the Modern Jazz Quintet. The three of us would sit for hours in the Carnegie Hall Tavern and talk about solving all the problems of the world. I eventually got to know more of his compositions and became an admirer his works. I commissioned Mingus to compose a work for a concert that Brandeis University asked me to organize. This was an historic concert, where three classical composers' (Milton Babbitt, Harold Shapiro and I) and three jazz composers' (Mingus, George Russell, and Jimmy Giuffre) works were featured.
After this collaboration, we became very close friends. I went to a lot of his gigs, because I admired his playing so much. We had another close relationship because probably his most admired saxophonist to work with was Eric Dolphy. Eric Dolphy and I were very close, so we all did a lot of hanging out together. I performed his music and published his music in my publishing company.

The Inversion Effect is something I would love to continuously photograph if I had the chance, but its rarity and short duration makes it difficult. I watched the Grand Canyon's pages constantly during late november and december and made a straight drive to the canyon within an hour's notice of an inversion happening. The four hour drive was worth it, and even if I missed the peak of the inversion, I was provided with several shots worthy of keeping.

gconf.bbclass: don't register schemas in the install stage
Previously this was installing schemas in the sysroot, which is wrong for native packages as nothing should touch the sysroot directly, and even more wrong for non-native packages as the sysroot is irrelevant. So, export the environment variable that stops the registration happening at install time. The postinst script will handle the non-native case, and for the sysroot I've opened #2648. This isn't a massive problem as nothing to my knowledge actually installs schemas to the sysroot. [YOCTO #2245] Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <firstname.lastname@example.com>

Pooh's Birth Certificate
The real life toys owned by Christopher Robin inspired the stories of Winnie the Pooh. In 1947, the toys toured the Unites States and A.A. Milne insisted that they should be accompanied by a birth certificate as if they were like any other traveller. The stuffed toys were even invited to travel by Concorde! Unfortunately, Roo was lost in the Sussex countryside and couldn't join Pooh and his friends as they travelled America. Milne explains this disappointing fact on the certificate.
The certificate can be a little difficult to read, so I have written the text below:
When the first stories of WINNIE-THE-POOH were written there were three animals in the nursery: stuffed animals to the visitor, but to the resident very much alive. They were Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore. Pooh had been the first birthday present, Eeyore was the Christmas present of a few months later. Piglet was an undated arrival at the hands of a stranger, who had often noticed a little boy walking in the street with his nurse and sometimes stopped and talked with them.
With these three friends, and an imaginary Owl and Rabbit, the stories began; and as they went on, additions to the family were made in the persons of Kanga (with Roo in her pouch) and Tigger. It must be confessed that the newcomers were carefully chosen, with the idea of not only giving pleasure to the reader, but also fresh inspiration to the chronicler of their adventures.
Five of these animals are paying a personal visit to America in the hope that some of those who have read about them will now be pleased to meet them. Anyone who does so will recognize them at once, for they were drawn from life for the illustrations in the books. The sixth one, Roo, is believed to be somewhere in Sussex, but no details are available. A subsequent dog, who became part of the establishment, took him for a walk once and left him in a hollow tree, from which he was extracted a year later. But the spirit of adventure was now strong upon him, and soon afterwards he was off again -- whether or not with the co-operation of the dog this time is not known. The latter was one of those friendly but unbalanced young things who must have company; and if Piglet's face now gives the impression of having seen better days, they were the days before the dog joined the party. But no explanation is needed for the world-weariness of Pooh and Eeyore. Time's hand has been upon them since 1921. That was a long time ago.

updated September 2018
The main reason for using pond dye is to eliminate unwanted aquatic weeds from water ponds.
The dye prevents sunlight from penetrating to the bottom of the pond water where unwanted weeds are growing. This hampers the growth of the plants.
How it works
The shade that the dye creates in the pond traps some parts of the light spectrum that are important for the process of photosynthesis. This is the process through which plants produce their own food by the use of sunlight.
Photosynthesis is important for the survival of weeds.By inhibiting this process weeds cannot survive.
The fact that Aquashade pond dye only affects plants means that fish and other water animals will not be harmed. This makes it a favorite weed control method for many fish farmers.
The water can still be used for other purposes such as cleaning around your house. It also means that you will not have problems with environmental management agencies as the water has no effect on sea animals when it flows out of the pond.
When added to the water Aquashade pond dye slowly fades over time hence allowing sunlight to pass through to the weeds at the bottom of the pond. This means that you should spray or pour more dye from time to time in order to maintain the shading effect.
Another advantage is that you'll be able to eliminate the weeds for good by continuously monitoring the concentration of the dye in the water. With just a little bit of maintenance, you'll be able to preserve the attractive aqua-blue color in the water at all times.
What I find most appealing about the product is that it not only makes my pond more beautiful, but it's easy to use as well. That's a definite advantage for using in your pond!
This pond dye gives the water in your pond an aqua-blue color blend. Such a rich blend of colors makes your pond and the entire area beautiful. Yes, the pond and its surrounding landscape appear as a naturally occurring feature. That is true beauty because it looks natural…nothing fake looking here.

Clinton describes half of her predicament
Hillary Clinton was half-right the other day in Iowa.
"It's not about emails or servers," she said last weekend, cloistered as usual in a bubble of aides. "It's about politics."
Yes, the issue is one of politics. Clinton is the Democratic front-runner in the campaign to become leader of the free world. No fewer than 17 other candidates are attacking her at every stop. That's the definition of politics.
But as reporters for McClatchy Newspapers' bureau in Washington, D.C., are showing, the issue also is very much about emails. As secretary of state, Clinton sent and received tens of thousands of emails over a private Internet server based at her New York home, rather than the secure State Department server.
Clearly, Republicans hope to win the White House in 2016. But Hillary Clinton never should have carried out administration affairs over a private email account.
It was a stunning blunder by a candidate who has spent four decades on the public stage and premises her campaign on her experience.
At least 86 people, including lawmakers, Obama administration and State Department officials and lobbyists for foreign governments, sent emails to Clinton on her personal email address during her tenure as the nation's top diplomat.
State Department and intelligence officials are homing in on at least 305 of those emails to determine whether they contained classified information. At least two emails on her private account have been classified as top secret, McClatchy reported last week.
Clinton finally provided access to her server to the U.S. Justice Department last week, and her attorney, David Kendall, gave investigators a thumb drive that contained 30,000 Clinton emails.
McClatchy's reporters found that Clinton's most frequent contact outside the State Department was Sidney Blumenthal, a friend and adviser dating back to Bill Clinton's administration. The two exchanged more than 120 emails on topics such as Benghazi, British politics and Iran.
Hillary Clinton's practice of conducting government business over private email surfaced when a Romanian hacker who went by the name "Guccifer" wormed into Blumenthal's email and posted texts on the Internet. Now, Republican legislators are asking whether or not Clinton's email was hacked.
Which gets back to Clinton's half-right, half-wrong statement. Clearly, Republicans who hope to win the White House in 2016 are motivated by politics. But the secretary of state never should have carried out administration affairs over private email. If that account was compromised, that's worthy of yet more public discussion.

WRCQ (103.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a mainstream rock music format.[1] Licensed to Dunn, North Carolina, United States, it serves the Fayetteville area. The station is currently owned by Cumulus Media. Its studios are located in west Fayetteville, and its transmitter is located east of Fayetteville in rural Sampson County, North Carolina.
Lincoln "Uncle Linc" Faulk, a longtime general manager and announcer at WCKB, helped start WQTI,[2] which played easy listening music.[3] In 1976, Robie Butler and his mother, Mrs. Walton Baggett, sold WQTI to Rev. Gardner Altman and his son, Gardner Altman, Jr. The elder Altman would later own several Fayetteville-area stations, including WFLB and WFAI. The Gardners sold WQTI to William Belche, which complemented his AM daytimer, a Gospel and Urban Contemporary station licensed to Fayetteville.
William Belche Sr. changed the letters from WQTI to WIDO ("D-103") in 1982. In 1985, Belche sold WIDO to Maurie Webster and Dean Landsman, who changed the letters to WDKS.[4][5] The studios and transmitter were in Dunn, but sales and management offices were in Fayetteville in 1989. The format was urban contemporary. Landsman had been the Program Consultant to Belche's stations. Upon taking over the FM, the sales tripled in the first year, and the station went on to score the highest Arbitron ratings in market history.
Metropolitan Broadcasting of North Carolina Inc., a partnership of real estate developers, bought WDKS in 1989 for $2 million from Landsman Media of New York City, which had already applied for a power increase from 3000 watts to 50,000 and a frequency change from 103.1 to 103.5.[6]
Late in 1989, WDKS increased its power, changed to the letters WRCQ, and began playing classic rock.[7] WRCQ aired the same programming as WZNS briefly in 1993.[8]
Metropolitan Broadcasting sold WRCQ to Kinetic Communications Inc. of Florida, in a $2.8 million deal announced in 1994, to focus on real estate.[9] The new owners focused more on new artists and less on the classics. As general manager Howard Johnson explained it, "It was sitting here next to a military base with all these men, and this station wasn't doing well. ... My station is doing well. The station is profitable.[10]"
In March 1997, WRCQ added Howard Stern. Former morning hosts Mad Max, Bogie and Matt Patrick moved to afternoons.[11] In 1998, Cape Fear Broadcasting, owner of three area stations, announced its purchase of WRCQ, which was describing its format as modern rock.[12]
In 1999, Cape Fear Broadcasting announced the sale of its stations to Cumulus. This sale was challenged by Ocean Broadcasting of Wilmington, North Carolina because it would give Cumulus 6 FMs and an AM in Wilmington, and about 55 percent of market revenue.[13] Even before Cumulus owned WRCQ, Stern was dropped December 31, 1999[14] first for music and then Lex and Terry.[15] The sale was completed in May 2001[16] and when WFNC stopped doing daily editorials, WRCQ was one of the stations that aired taped editorials instead.[17]
John Boy and Billy replaced Lex and Terry when WKQB, also purchased by Cumulus, dropped classic rock in 2002.[18]

December 29, 2001 marked the 125th anniversary of the worst train disaster in America up to that point. In that wreck was a young couple whose bodies were never found. But you will probably find his name many times in the hymnbook in the pew in front of you. His name was Philip Paul Bliss.
He was one of God's gifts to modern Christian music. A Pennsylvania farm boy who wrote some of the earliest gospel songs to gain wide popularity in both Britain and America, he had little formal music training and minimal schooling. Yet in the short span of 12 years (1864-1876), a devoted heart and a natural sensitivity to common folks inspired "Hold the Fort" (see below), "Almost Persuaded," "Let the Lower Lights Be Burning," "Hallelujah! What a Savior!" and the music to "It Is Well with My Soul," among many others. Evangelist D. L. Moody said of Bliss: "...I loved and admired him. I believe he was raised up of God to write hymns for the Church of Christ in this age, as Charles Wesley was for the church in his day.... In my estimate, he was the most highly honored of God, of any man of his time, as a writer and singer of Gospel Songs, and with all his gifts he was the most humble man I ever knew. I loved him as a brother, and shall cherish his memory...."
Moody first met Bliss in 1869. The evangelist was holding meetings in Wood's Museum Theatre in Chicago. Moody's approach was to preach in the open air from the steps of the nearby courthouse for about thirty minutes and then to urge the crowd into his meeting. Bliss and his wife, having heard of Moody but never having heard him, out for a stroll before Sunday evening services, happened onto the outdoor preaching. When Moody appealed to all to come inside, they followed. The music director was absent that evening, the singing was weak, and from his place in the congregation, Bliss's voice, strong and confident, attracted Moody's eye. Later Moody greeted folks at the door. Bliss met him and related, "as I came to him he had my name and history in about two minutes, and a promise that when I was in Chicago Sunday evenings, I would come and help in the singing at the theater meetings." Moody asked some music publisher friends, "Where in the world have you kept such a man for four years that he hasn't become known in Chicago?"
On the Moody Team
The association with Moody developed. In their last year, 1876, the Blisses spent a week with him at Northfield, Massachusetts, where the evangelist utilized their talents in a whirlwind of eleven meetings. With evangelist Major D. W. Whittle, their meetings ranged from Racine and Madison, Wisconsin; to St. Louis, to Mobile, Montgomery and Selma, Alabama; Augusta, Georgia; Chicago; Kalamazoo and Jackson, Michigan, finishing for the year 1876 in Peoria, December 14. They had talked of the Blisses going to Britain with Moody and Sankey, where Bliss's "Jesus Loves Even Me" had been instantly popular, "and more than any other hymn, it became the keynote of our meetings there," as Sankey wrote later.
The Blisses returned to be with family for the holidays in Rome, agreeing to meet Whittle in Chicago, December 31, and to sing at Moody's Tabernacle. In the old hometown, they spent "the happiest Christmas he had ever known" with his mother, sister, and in-laws; and leaving their children in the care of Mrs. Bliss's sister, the Blisses checked their luggage through to Chicago and boarded the train at Waverly, New York. When an engine broke down, they spent the night in a hotel, then continued their train journey in a blinding snowstorm.
Through the Snow to Chicago
As the train puffed its way through the snowy silence, just after 7:00, the evening of December 29, 1876, Bliss was observed in a parlor car with work spread out in his lap. He had a few weeks earlier written verses he titled, "I've Passed the Cross of Calvary" and over the holidays had come up with a fitting tune that he sang to family and, intending to work on it aboard the train, had placed it in his satchel for further attention. It may have been the very piece that occupied him as the train plowed through the snow. Crossing a trestle about 100 yards from the station at Ashtabula, Ohio, passengers heard a terrible cracking sound. In just seconds, the trestle fractured and the train plunged 70 feet into a watery gulf, the wooden cars captured by flames fed by kerosene-heating stoves. The lead engine made it across, a second engine, two express cars, and part of the baggage car rested with their weight upon the bridge while 11 railcars fell in raging fire. Of 159 passengers, 92 were killed or died later from injuries sustained in the crash, and many others were severely injured. Indeed it was the worst railroad tragedy to that point in American history.
Not a trace of P. P. or Lucy Bliss was ever found, not an artifact or possession. Contemporaries noted it was as though he was taken up "in a chariot of fire." At the request of Moody, the pennies of school children helped to erect a monument in Rome, Pennsylvania, Bliss's hometown. So beloved was the young couple that special memorial services were held in Chicago, in Rome, at South Bend, St. Paul, Louisville, Nashville, Kalamazoo, and Peoria. Twenty years later, in Ashtabula's Chestnut Grove Cemetery, a monument was erected to all those "unidentified" who perished in the Ashtabula Railroad disaster. Among the names are "P. P. Bliss and wife."
His Poignant Last Song
Bliss' trunk had been checked through to Chicago, and in it, surviving its author, was the last song he wrote, setting to music the words of Mary G. Brainard, now so especially poignant:
"I know not what awaits me,
God kindly veils my eyes,
And o'er each step of my onward way
He makes new scenes to rise;
And ev'ry joy He sends me comes
A sweet and glad surprise.
So on I go, not knowing,
I would not if I might;
I'd rather walk in the dark with God
Than go alone in the light;
I'd rather walk by faith with Him
Than go alone by sight."
Yet, even after his death, his ministry continued, as friends picked up fragments of his thought and finished his work--friends such as James McGranahan, who wrote music to words Bliss had written, but which were not found until after his death:
"I will sing of my redeemer,
And His wondrous love to me;
On the cruel cross He suffered,
From the curse to set me free."
The Origin of "Hold the Fort"
In May of 1870, Bliss accompanied Moody's friend Major D. W. Whittle to a Sunday School Convention at Rockford, Illinois. There, Whittle, a major conference speaker, related an incident from the Civil War to illustrate Christ's being the Christian's commander, and of His coming to our relief. (Though Whittle did not witness the events firsthand, he was on active duty with Major General Oliver Howard in the vicinity of Atlanta in October, 1864.) Just before General Sherman began his march to the sea, about 20 miles north of Marietta and Atlanta, Confederate troops cut Sherman's communications lines along the railroad at Allatoona Pass, site of a huge fortification of Union supplies and rations. It was extremely important that the earthworks commanding the Pass and protecting the supplies be held. Confederate forces surrounded the works and vigorous fighting ensued. The battle seemed lost and the cause hopeless to the Union soldiers. But at that moment an officer caught sight of a white signal flag, far away across the valley, 20 miles away, atop Kennesaw Mountain. The signal was answered, and soon the message was waved from mountain to mountain: "Hold the Fort; I am coming. W. T. Sherman." The song was instantly born in the mind of Bliss:
"Ho! My comrades, see the signal
Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing
Victory is nigh!
Chorus - 'Hold the fort, for I am coming,'
Jesus signals still.
Wave the answer back to heaven,
" 'By thy grace, we will.'"
Though, actually, the expression "hold the fort" was never used-- three messages were sent: one saying "hold out," another saying "hold fast," and another saying "hold on"--Whittle's story was in essence correct.
When he reached Chicago, Bliss wrote the music. It was published first as sheet music, bringing immense popularity to Bliss and making the expression, "hold the fort" a widely-used colloquial expression. The militant tune lent itself to all sorts of parodies, and it became widely used in the prohibition, suffrage and labor movements, finding its way into labor songbooks as late as the 1950s. One of the parodies of the late 1800s was supposedly created by street people:
"Hold the forks, the knives are coming,
The plates are on the way,
Shout the chorus to your neighbor,
Sling the hash this way."

For most of the millennium, the United States has suffered a trade deficit when it comes to R&B and Soul. Led first by Amy Winehouse, an endless stream of chanteuses has arrived from across the pond to remind us of eras long gone and plant seeds for the future. Poised to continue this trend is none other than Tawiah, a London bred singer looking to carve her own path. She graced the stage at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC to give us a taste of what was to come. And how delectable it is.
Having worked with Mark Ronson and Amy in the past, it would be easy to draw comparisons. The Eliza Doolittle tinge to her voice and her ease between switching between rap and singing might also elicit calls to compare her to Estelle. These are both shortsighted as she brings something different to the table. If we have to compare her to another Brit, we're best served at looking at the pioneer Caron Wheeler of Soul II Soul. Tawiah has a powerful voice but she also knows exactly how to weave a story with her words and tone. For an impassioned 60 minutes, she showed why she's not one to be taken lightly.
With little fanfare, she launched into her set, armed with her guitar and backed by a two man band. After her rollicking intro, she dove into the reggae influenced 'Bind'. Just when you were lulled in, she switched it up to an electronic cover of "Temporary Secretary." Using all two square feet of stage she had, she set the stage for the energy she would give out all night.
After an intense dance performance, she moved to "FACes" off her newest release FREEdom DROP. It's here that she started to show the range and nuance that sets her apart. This part of the set included her display of her acoustic guitar skills. "Good" is a showcase for her vulnerability as she spoke to her mother. She tapped into a universal sentiment of proving oneself to a parent. The wow factor was really on as she did a mellowed acoustic cover of Soul For Real's "Candy Rain." Perfectly tuning her powerful voice throughout, she drew out a new sense of longing from the teen anthem. In short, she brought the house down. She rounded out this section with "Don't Know You Yet" from her Run EP an ode to a fresh but brief romance.
For the rest of her time, Tawiah turned back on all of the energy. She lit up the stage with the Muhsinah collaboration "ONEMore." By the end of the night, she had the entire crowd giving her background vocals as she led them through "Lonely Ones." The night seemed to end far too soon. Armed with presence, great songwriting, and her powerful voice, it's doubtful that Tawiah's career suffers the same fate.

Economic Suicide
By William Pfaff
Is it a case of murder, or has the Western economy deliberately, if unwittingly, attempted suicide and nearly succeeded?
John Maynard Keynes was not just talking about defunct economists when he wrote that the world is commonly ruled by dead ideas, its leaders the slaves of the past. He said, "Indeed the world is ruled by little else." If he were alive today, he could name management consultants and business gurus among those responsible for the economic crisis of the present day.
As 2011 begins, people still talk about the crisis of the Western economy as though we have been the victims of a blight from nowhere, like Haitians in a hurricane or blackbirds in Arkansas. No individual is held guilty for anything – certainly none of the leaders of finance or business who insisted that markets know best, or the political leaders who empowered them.

This Family HAS to Understand Colors
"Hi George: We're looking forward to being with you in Tulsa next week. I thought I'd write a note about my four children, each a different color. So meet my family:
Georgia is Blue very involved with her church youth group, has a hard time saying "no" when asked to do something for them, to the point that she's a little taken advantage of, loves children and just wants to be with them, especially helpful around the house right before company comes. She feels the pain of her friends when they're having a hard time and just needs to be with them. She makes friends with her teachers and until she feels a friendship type bond with them, she has a very hard time being comfortable in their classroom. She often reaches out to make friends or spend time with people who aren't the most outgoing.
My Green son Calvin had last years' Christmas list as a spreadsheet, with rows for each type item he wanted and then the columns were labeled as: most wanted, would be nice, good and ok. In each column where the specific item was listed, he also included where it could be purchased and how much it cost – he found the least expensive place for each item online. Then he went over the spreadsheet with me for a long time. He is planning his high school courses based on what majors he might want in college, which are based upon a solid, well paying job that he'd enjoy. He likes to understand topics and subjects and have lengthy conversations about things. When he was three years old he learned to ride a bike with no training wheels and practiced for days falling off, so he'd completely know how to control a fall so he wouldn't get hurt.
Martin, my Orange son wants to have fun! He's not aware of peer pressure in middle school and loves having a good time with people. Deadlines for report? Oh, that's when you both start and complete it. Likes to play games and always did – even when he was three years old he didn't care if he won or lost a game, he just wanted to play a game. He's very sweet and huggy – a bit of blue shining through. When he was a baby we used to call him "Mr. Happy." He is considered gifted at school in the area of Language Arts.
My daughter Camille is so Gold and so NOT Orange. She likes dependable schedules and to know what's going to happen when. If I try to change the routine, it really throws her for a loop and can ruin her day. It can take a long time for her to be comfortable with new people and each year before the first day of school, she wants to know what class she's in, needs to meet the teacher and see where she's going to sit. She doesn't like change at all. She's VERY bright and wants to always get 100% on every assignment. She takes a long time to do her writing and has a very hard time making a "rough draft," because she wants it to be a final draft the first time she writes. She gets migraine headaches due to stress that she puts upon herself and can't understand why anyone would ever break a rule.
My husband is Green/Blue and I'm a VERY high Orange. It's a fun household with much respect and appreciation for each other. M.W.

Really wonderful hosts while I was in Heredia.
guapa, ilen!
Merienda Moments
I'll be moderating a panel discussion themed around a lot of the topics that 1.) brought me to the Bay Area in the first place, and 2.) I have been navigating the whole duration of my MFA program. Come out, you will be fed!
Merienda Moments: A Discussion on Academia, the White Box, and Community
Tuesday, April 26, 2016 | 12:10 PM - 01:00 PM
Location: Fine Arts Gallery, Fine Arts building
Phone: (415) 338-6535
"From then until now, through the practice of art, I became who I am"
Carlos Villa, (60 Forms of) ATANG
When I came to San Francisco State University in 2013, much like any other hopeful MFA student, I came in search for myself. I came in search for scholarship; Asian American history and Filipino Art history. I came in search for my place in the Fine Arts cannon. Most importantly, I came in search for community; a rooted community that could possibly foster my commitment to academia and art. Along the course of my program, I've engaged in all of these spheres, but still they seem to function separately. Now, as I am approaching the end of my MFA program, I am brought back to this search.
Carlos Villa, the most significant US-based visual artist of Filipino descent, seemed to have an answer to all of these questions. His legacy as an artist and educator did not only function within the realms of Fine Art and Academia, but also pushed the discourse and dialogue of these with the community at its center. It is because of his legacy that I came to San Francisco. As I reflect back on my MFA journey, I would like to reopen these questions.
How do we stimulate, reform and expand creative mindsets and artist paradigms that envision and develop art purpose for community and social change from inside?
Participating Panelists
Michael Arcega is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture and installation. Though visual, his art revolves largely around language. Directly informed by research, material significance, and the format of jokes, his subject matter deals with sociopolitical circumstances where power relations are unbalanced. Michael has a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and an MFA from Stanford University.
Santhi Kavuri-Bauer received her MA and PhD from UCLA. She is the author of Monumental Matters: The Power, Subjectivity and Space of India's Mughal Architecture (Duke UP, 2011). She has written essays on South Asian American photography and video. Her latest research focuses on the American encounter with South Asian Modernism. Kavuri-Bauer has received fellowships from the Getty Research Institute and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Her teaching and theoretical interests focus on psychoanalysis, postcolonial studies, and social space.
Dara Katrina Del Rosario focuses on creative arts engagement and inclusivity for communities who have historically been denied access to Western institutional art spaces. She was born in Manila, Philippines, but immigrated to Los Angeles, California at the age of 3. Del Rosario's experience with diaspora and survival has greatly informed her work—inspiring her to research the collision of contemporary art with cross cultural exchange, epistemology, and identity formation.
In December 2015, she was the recipient of the Next Gen Arts Leadership Grant from the Center for Cultural Innovation. Del Rosario is currently based in the Bay Area and is an Emerging Arts Professionals Fellow.
half moon bay
This week, I'm out in Half Moon Bay on teaching with the Boys & Girls Club at Cunha Intermediate School. In between & after classes, I've been able to walk around main street and the beach to explore.
Main Street has all of these beautiful alleyways covered in mosaics, murals, vines and flowers.
Setarra & charles
My love goes out to Setarra & Charles, whose wedding I was fortunate enough to photograph a little over a year ago in DC.
I'm super excited! This is my first post from moving over to my new website. I don't like to make long posts (unless they're photo-heavy), so I'm just going to do a short list of what's going on so you get a quick intro to my life as a student-artist-educator.
With the support of 40+ donors, I crowdfunded to fly back to the Philippines to do research in my mom's province of Batangas. I'll be arriving in Manila on August 3rd, and traveling through Metro Manila, Batangas, Cavite, and Baguio. I'm super excited to get a short intro to the art world in Manila & Baguio, and especially to reconnect with my extended family whom I haven't seen in 4+ years. You'll see lots of updates on here and on my instagram [/kimbr] of my adventures. Make sure to check back periodically to see what I've been up to!
2. TEACHING IN HALF MOON BAY w/ CUNHA INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL
Next week, I'll be placed at Cunha Intermediate School in Half Moon Bay teaching a one week intensive storytelling & visual arts class with the awesome middle school students out there. Last week, my boss & I visited the campus and where I'll be staying for the week. I'm really looking forward to learning from my students and making some work in the short amount of time I'll be out there. I've been working on a pretty exciting lesson plan, so I hope the students get into it.
Wow, It's really been two years of my program at SFSU so far. I'm nervous, anxious, excited, and ready to take on the challenges of producing a Thesis show this upcoming year. Bring it on, yo!
That's it for now. Shout outs to my breakfast buddy Shawn for helping me redirect my domain to my new site!
check instagram [@kimbr] for the most recent updates!

|(Miami Herald)
As you would expect, a star player leaving a team with whom he helped lead to three championships is kind of a big deal. But if you have been following this story, there is more to it beneath the surface.
Wade's stint with the Heat should not have ended this way but team czar Pat Riley really has only himself to blame. After in a market in which contracts were soaring all over the place in the wake of a skyrocketing salary cap, Riley offering Wade a serious paycut to only $10 million a season (less than what Aaron Afflalo is now making), which was half of Wade was making the previous season, truly was a slap in the face. Couple that with Wade's loyalty over the years, as well as the crazy fact that he was never the team's highest paid player, and even after the Heat had offered Wade a contract at $20 million a season, the damage had already been done. And frankly, it's disingenuous for Riley to act like he was so sad in the wake of this move considering he probably should have seen this coming. Not to mention that Riley may very well had known what he was doing all along.
But while bringing in somebody with the starpower that Wade has is certainly intriguing for a franchise like the Bulls in the wake of the Derrick Rose trade, this certainly is an odd fit. The Bulls were widely expected to, if not rebuild, but retool around Jimmy Butler while building a roster better fitting for the style of offense that Fred Hoiberg likes to run. Instead, the Bulls have brought in a couple of ball-dominant guards in Wade as well as Rajon Rondo, and neither of them can shoot much at all these days. Therefore, a team that has struggled to space the floor will only continue to do so in all likelihood and by bringing in a guy like Wade, they may just be stunting Butler's development at one of the worst times to do that.
So instead of tailoring the roster the way they should to suit Butler and to suit Hoiberg while being able to compete more after a disappointing 2015-16 season, Chicago decided to bring in a couple of big names on the wrong side of 30 and both with injury issues.
The Heat are perhaps in worse shape. They chose to alienate the face of their franchise while hoping to lure the top free agent of the offseason, Kevin Durant, down to Miami. As we all know, that effort was unsuccessful (as expected) and now they are building their future around center Hassan Whiteside. Whiteside, who is still somewhat of a question mark even after an impressive 2015-16 season, was reportedly willing to forego some cash in order to help bring in Durant and keep Wade but now he is effectively the face of the franchise as Chris Bosh's future is in question due to injuries. Not paying Wade gives the team some financial flexibility going forward to lure in pieces but after how they treated their face of the team, are they still as appealing as they once were?

Wow. Brutal. Hello, Readers. It's South by Southwest time here in Austin. For those of you unfamiliar with that little festival, it's an event where hundreds of thousands of hipsters who have managed to save $500 from their barista tip jars and by cutting down from two to one and half packs of cigarettes a day travel to Austin, listen to some Ukrainian speed metal band with a good agent, smoke in the streets, don't tip the waitstaff, and generally wander around drunk and stoned while the rest of us try to go about our lives.
The up side is that every industry in Austin reaps the benefits of their spending. Well, every industry except the razor and the deodorant industries, but that's neither here nor there. Welcome to Austin, hipsters. Spend your money, enjoy the festival, and don't forget to leave.
And welcome back to all of you for the final installment of my semi-timely recap of Bachelor Ben's Love Fest. I think we'd all agree that we should all feel at least a little bit sorry for poor JoJo. Granted, her alpha-male, testosterone-filled, step brothers didn't exactly help the situation, but she put up a good fight. However, I think it's fair to say that when compared to Lauren B., JoJo clearly earned the Booby Prize.
|Ben loves you both.
Get it? Booby prize. You're welcome. I'll be here all week.
This week's episode—clearly the most (insert provocative adjective here) conclusion of The Bachelor ever—featured a lot of wandering around in sharkskin suits and a lot of Neil Lane's noticeably more svelte appearance. Perhaps he and Harrison took advantage of the complimentary pre-dawn Zumba classes over there at the Jamaica Sandals Resort. Neil Lane certainly took advantage of the beach. If he were any more tan, he'd be a belt.
As much as I'd love to recap the episode we've all grown accustomed to seeing in the tenth slot during every single season of The Bachelor, I think this post will be more reflective than narrative. After all, there are only so many helicopter rides, catamarans, and teal blue water shots you can see before it all runs together. Throw a sweat mustache on Ben and a yellow dress on Lauren and you'd have the Roberto and Ali final episode.
Poor brooding Ben must have walked every inch of the island whining about being in love with two women and equivocating about his choice right up until the moment he chose the ring for the soon-to-be almost Mrs. Ben Higgins. By the way, d*ck move telling both women you loved them, Ben. Good luck not getting that thrown in your face and shoved down your throat come the first big argument with Lauren.
As I write this many of you are watching After the Final Rose. As is my custom, I refuse to watch it. I am, however, curious as to who will be the next Bachelorette and I'll probably fast forward to see if Ben's Bible-searching preacher was forced to perform a sham wedding or if ABC mercilessly let him off the hook by inventing some excuse for not immediately joining the two lovebirds in holy matrimony mere days after the groom slept with two other women after meeting their families and telling the loser that he loved her 20 minutes before the bride-to-be arrived via helicopter to collect her free giant engagement ring.
You could literally see that guy sweating as he paged nervously through the Bible looking for a passage that applied to that situation and praying that lightening from above didn't race through the secret filming location into his skull. God knows where you are preacher guy. God knows where you are.
How about this passage?
"Do not degrade your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the land will turn to prostitution and be filled with wickedness." Leviticus 19:29.
Or this one?
"Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent." Proverbs 7:10
Or this one?
"Two women of loose moral character shall appear shabbily dressed in denim garments yet only one will bear the false ring of diamonds generously, albeit self-servingly, donated by Neil Lane." Harrison 3:16
Oh, and what about JoJo's poor family? I prayed that the walls of the Green Room were padded because we all know that Mr. JoJo went berserk after watching his little girl get rolled off the truck like bale of hay at cattle feeding time before being shoved into a limo in her pretty pink dress to cry mercilessly into the camera.
I suppose Mrs. JoJo probably freaked out too but in light of the fact that she can no longer move her botox-riddled face, her reaction would have been difficult to measure. She was problaby too busy chugging the free champale on the Green Room buffet out of the bottle to care.
I suppose that since JoJo is the next Bachelorette (I peeked), it will ease the pain a bit. Well, until they have to watch their little angel take three more guys to the Fantasy Suite on national television, but we'll burn that bridge when we come to it.
She has a shot at beating Kaitlyn's promiscuity record if she mixes in a surreptitous mid-season bang with one of the dudes. Maybe Nick Viall is available. If not, we can guarantee Chris Bukowski is free (#chach). You think her step-brothers will sign up to date her? Just a thought.
Let's talk about what I'll refer to as "Ben's Dilemma". First, telling two women he loved them—regardless if he felt that way—was an incredibly stupid move. It was selfish too. First, it cheapens it for both girls. Second, I think we'd all agree that it gave JoJo a false sense of security and caused her to let her guard down on the eve of the big decision.
Recall the "don't blindside me" chat he had with Becca before he blindsided her? History repeated itself with JoJo and I suspect Ben has a penchant for causing that kind of pain because he's afraid to hurt people's feelings. Character flaw or not, he should have kept his mouth shut to both women.
He's lucky both of them didn't hit the road when they found out. Granted, it's harder to hit the road with a giant Neil Lane creation weighing down your left ring finger and an impending stint on Dancing with the Stars staring you in the face, but still.
And what's more is that he told each woman he loved her at least 100 times on each date. Also selfish. "I love you" was definitely this season's "amazing." Saying it once in a moment of alcohol-induced poor judgment is one thing but doubling down on it again and again was not a good idea.
The look on his mother's face when he told her he was in love with two women was priceless. His dad looked as if he was teetering between laughter, jealously, and tears. Then again, that's how most middle aged married guys go through life, but I think it was especially pronounced upon hearing the big news from Ben. Also, I need help. What do you think about the parents' feedback? I thought they favored JoJo but friends of mine swear they wanted Lauren.
So what do I think about the big engagement? I'm actually cautiously optimistic about this one. Both of them have a clear path to the requisite number of delegates going into the convention and it doesn't appear that either one of them is going to go Pavelka and forsake their current lives for a temporary run in a Vegas revue or a shot at a guest appearance on The Bold and the Beautiful.
Boring translates to Normal here and I think Ben is all in on this one. She appeared happy too. We'll see if they can survive the media maelstrom and transition back into real life when it's over. Props to Ben for shutting down his preacher. Not only did he save himself a lot of embarrassment, he probably saved that guy from eternal damnation. Can you imagine explaining that one to St. Peter at the Pearly Gates?
As always, thank you all for reading this season. My life is hectic and often stressful and simply knowing you're all out there getting a breather by reading during your own hectic and stressful lives is a real source of joy for me. Your comments and tweets always bring a smile to my face. I'll post in the off season and try and tweet as well. Send me suggestions, questions, or just drop me a note say hello. Take care of yourselves and if you get a chance come to Austin for a visit. It's wildflower season, the lakes are full, and spring is in the air. Drop me a line and I'll try and meet you for a Lone Star.
In the meantime, if you need me, I'll be contemplating life's mysteries while wandering around the lakeshore in my shark skin suit. DP

text: Trace elements in cattle nutrition Data: 2014-05-01 Autor: Christian Punz The importance of trace elements in livestock nutrition is undisputed. As the name implies, even small amounts of these elements have large and diverse effects on the animal organism. The function of enzymes and hormones is essentially linked to trace elements. This key role in metabolism cannot be replaced by other kinds of nutrients, that's why we call them "essential" (irreplaceable) trace elements.

Women in STEM fields: Academics and mentoring
The percentage of women studying STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math) in colleges is low—just 19 percent. STEM is often seen in academics as a boy's club, and many colleges are having trouble attracting and retaining women in science and technology. Here are some ways colleges are encouraging women to study STEM and how an effective and sympathetic mentor can help them graduate.
Women underrepresented in STEM
Although women lead men in college enrollment and graduation rates, men still vastly outnumber women in the number of graduates in STEM fields. The American Association of University Women reported that in 2010, women earned only 20 percent of bachelor's degrees in physics, engineering and computer science. The reasons women tend not to pursue STEM degrees include:
• misconceptions of what it's like to be an engineer
• scarce number of peers to study with
• too few role models and mentors
• fewer opportunities than boys to study science in K-12 classes
• stereotype that technology is linked with masculinity.
Advice to encourage women
In "How to Encourage Women to Consider STEM Majors," Alicia Abella, executive director of technical research at AT&T Labs, offers advice for women who feel they might not succeed in STEM courses: "The mentoring and coaching is important. If they can find somebody they feel they can trust and talk to, to get advice from, that's important. Maybe joining peer groups is important for people. On campuses, there are certainly tech clubs, women's clubs—something where people who are experiencing similar challenges can get together and, in a sense, encourage each other to push onward."
Support systems encourage women
Dimitra L. Jackson agrees on the importance of mentors for women in STEM. In "Making the Connection: The Impact of Support Systems on Female Transfer Students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)," published in Community College Enterprise, Spring 2013, Jackson wrote: "The availability of student support systems and mentee-mentor relationships provide effective ways to increase the representation of women in STEM areas… Support systems allow students the opportunity to engage in discussion and activities with individuals, including family, faculty, staff, or administrators with whom they feel comfortable."
Women's colleges more supportive of STEM
Women's colleges are more receptive to women in STEM majors and provide an atmosphere with less discrimination and peer pressure. They offer a supportive, nurturing, focused, research-based environment. They also prepare women to start a STEM career, obtain an advanced degree and arrange study opportunities and internships for women STEM students, reported Diane Propsner in "Why First-Year STEM Girls Attend Women's Colleges" posted August 29, 2013, in Huffington Post.
In that article, Sue Turjman, a freshman studying medicine at all-women Mount St. Mary's College, appreciates the mentoring she receives at the school. "I know that my professors will push me to my greatest ability, and it won't matter that I'm a woman wanting a male-dominated profession… The Mount will give me an edge. I hope that going to a women's college will even boost my grades without the little distractions," said Turjman.
Ways to retain women in STEM
Studies have identified ways to increase and retain women in STEM fields:
• ensure that female college students are academically prepared and competent in math and science
• dismantle the "chilly" climate women often encounter in math and science-based classes
• revise "gendered" societal norms and expectations of what is appropriate for female students to study
• identify activities that are relevant to interests and educational goals in STEM fields
Resources for women in STEM majors and careers
National Institute for Women in Trades, Technology and Science (IWITTS): helps educators nationwide close the gender gap for women and girls in male-dominated careers such as technology, the trades and law enforcement.
Society of Women Engineers (SWE): SWE Scholarships support women pursuing ABET-accredited bachelor or graduate programs in engineering, engineering technology and computer science in the United States and Mexico. In 2013, SWE gave out more than 200 new and renewed scholarships valued at $550,000.
American Association of University Women (AAUW): a nationwide network of members and college/university partners who promote equity for women through advocacy, education, philanthropy and research.
Women of Innovation: gathers and celebrates outstanding women for their accomplishments in science, engineering, technology research, information technology, business analytics, technology education and mathematics.

Gracepoint Church, Peabody
The impact of a well-told story lingers in your soul and mind. Chances are many of us were first introduced to basic truths of scripture through stories told by Sunday school teachers or parents. And, the fact is, we never outgrow our interest in story. That's why preachers use illustrations to highlight a point in their sermons. They know that a fitting illustration throws light on the point they're trying to make, which makes it easier for the hearers to "get the point". Good stories connect with both sides of our brains.
The way in which a truth is presented can make all the difference in the world. Jesus understood that better than anyone else. He told stories about lost sheep, lost coins, a run-away son, seed, and soil. He used these earthly stories to reveal heavenly truths.
Christian writers try to do the same thing. They tell "earthly" stories about the struggles of living on a sinful planet. But they also show how God's truth, hope, love, and power can shine light into that darkness. If you haven't picked up a Christian novel in a while, I encourage you to do so.

House Sergeant at Arms Bill Livingood wants all members to consider installing a panic button in their district offices to alert local police of potentially dangerous situations.
Some members have so-called panic buttons installed in their district and Capitol Hill offices, according to several House sources. Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) said his D.C. and some of his district offices already have buttons that allow staffers to discreetly summon police.
It's unclear, however, whether all lawmakers have panic buttons installed in their Washington offices. The additional police presence and metal detectors on Capitol Hill could preclude the need for them, but Kingston said his office is equipped with one.
Livingood offered the panic-button suggestion in a memo titled "General Security Guidance for Members and Staff," which was sent to all House offices Thursday. In addition to the panic buttons, in a section titled "Preparing for an Event," Livingood suggested that a member always be accompanied by "sufficient staff" that situational awareness is not the responsibility of the member alone. He also suggested establishing alternate means of "ingress and egress," as well as reliable means of transportation.
The memo also said staff members should always share any security concerns with the member, inspect the site of the event for "familiarization and orientation to include all emergency exits," maintain the availability of "reliable communication devices" and local emergency numbers — "police, fire, medical."
The memo followed a conference call held between 800 members, staff and spouses and Livingood and U.S. Capitol Police Chief Phillip Morse on Sunday. On that phone call, Livingood and Morse instructed members to select law enforcement liaisons in their offices charged with security-related issues and reporting any concerns to law enforcement.
The memo's other suggestions to ensure district office security:
• Requesting a security survey of district offices.
• Programming a speed-dial function on phones for local law enforcement and medical numbers.
• Updating all internal and external information at least annually.
• Having at least two people in the district office at all times when it is open to the public, and notifying local law enforcement authorities if the office will be open to the public before or after normal hours of operation.
The memo also provided a website address for a U.S. Capitol Police Security Awareness Manual and a link to a Department of Homeland Security document that provides recommendations for responding to "active shooters."
"The recent tragedy in Arizona has reminded everyone in the congressional community of the need to remain alert and vigilant at all times," Livingood wrote at the beginning of the memo.
"Security awareness and proper planning must be an integral part of every member's office routine. This is a team effort, as we rely on you to assist us — no one knows your district and the people in it better than you. The office of the sergeant at arms, working with the U.S. Capitol Police, stands ready to assist in any way we can."

One of the most common questions that Winters Home Services receives is, "How often should I change my air filter?" Aside from doing a thorough maintenance inspection, we always encourage clients to change out their air filtration system because it impacts the performance of your HVAC system and your home's air quality. In fact, indoor air pollution is one of the main environmental health risks. Switching out air filters is not just for city homeowners; everyone should be doing this.
Knowing when you should change air filters is actually quite easy – change them when they are dirty. Pay attention to the following:
Manufacturers encourage homeowners to change 1"-3" air filters on a bi-monthly basis, however this is not necessary in most homes. If you are noticing allergies that seem to be out of the blue, it may be beneficial to upgrade your air filter or consider installing an air purifier on top your heating and cooling system.
If you live in an open area or a vacation home, you may only need to change your air filter twice a year.
Keep in mind that homeowners with pets may need to replace their air filters more often than those that don't have pets. Pets tend to shed and can clog the air filter. While it's the air filter's purpose to capture pet hair and dander, dirty filters can weaken the HVAC performance.
3 Benefits of Changing Your HVAC Air Filter

Shockwaves NME Awards Show: Babyshambles, Brixton Academy, Sun Feb 18
Kate, Wolfman and a bag of new tracks - Pete fails to disappoint
The scourge of the mainstream press and the bête noire of people who like their music dully predictable and shrink-wrapped, Pete Doherty has always made it hard for people to be fans of his bands – peppering gigs with no shows and delays. Tonight, he's brought a flurry of new songs to sort the part-time fan from the connoisseur of the Stookie And Jim Bumfest Demos. For those poor souls not quite so up to speed however there was The Libertines' 'Time For Heroes', a mighty blast of 'Fuck Forever', 'La Belle Et La Bête' (with Kate Moss, sighing her vocals exquisitely) and the presence of Wolfman during 'For Lovers', for the first time in an age. Tight and professional, Babyshambles were for once a million miles away from the tabloid perception.

I have only had the pleasure of shooting once with Lexi Amiss thus far, but it was definitely a good experience. She was prompt, and willing to dive right in, which is always appreciated. She was no stranger to being naked on camera, which is why I found something so amusing to start with.
When she first arrived, before Aiya was there, we discussed wardrobe and she showed me the considerable wardrobe she brought with her. I wanted to see some of it on her, so I selected some office items and asked if she could put them on. Then, despite the fact that we were minutes away from shooting where she would soon end up completely naked, she demurely went to the other room and changed. She did this with every wardrobe change before we started. Which just goes to show that even a seasoned nude model can feel some level of embarrassment or modesty when it comes to getting naked in front of someone she does not know. So perhaps she is not quite as comfortable being naked as one might think. Of course, that just makes watching videos where she is forced to strip a little bit more delicious.
And speaking of wardrobe, she had an extensive collection, which is always much appreciated. It amazes me the number of models who don't have even basic wardrobe items. But I guess you have to start somewhere.
She made for an awesome boss getting revenge on a former boss. As I've said before – on-screen motivated revenge is a delight to watch.
I may shoot with her again as schedules permit.
Here are her lovely videos (which can be direct linked through here):

I'm no Southerner. I like my corn muffins New Jersey diner style, slightly sweet and a little cakey. Split and griddled in butter to boot.
Most of the corn muffin recipes I've come across are too dry, too bland, have too much extra crap in them like frozen corn kernels, canned creamed corn, cheese, jalapeños, etc. That's fine for other times, but it wasn't what I was craving.
I asked for help finding a quality corn muffin recipe, and many suggestions rolled in. I took a look at them and then formulated my plan.
One recipe called for creaming the butter, shortening and sugar like you were baking cookies; but it was closest to what I was looking for. However, my butter was frozen and I don't really use vegetable shortening. I decided to go with melted browned butter because browned butter makes everything taste better.
So with the Pixies as my background music this morning, I made muffins.
Corn Muffins
12 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cups sifted flour
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
*if you can find freshly ground cornmeal at a farmers market, all the better
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup of half & half
Preheat your oven to 400. Line a muffin tin with papers or butter them.
Put your butter in a pot and melt. Once melted, stir constantly and watch for it to brown. It will go through stages. First it will get foamy as the milk solids are rendered, then they will start to caramelize. Watch the butter closely so you don't burn it. Once it's a nice deep brown, pour butter into a bowl and allow to cool a bit while you prep your other ingredients.
Mix dry ingredients together. Set aside.
Mix wet ingredients together. Pour into dry ingredients, whisking until dry ingredients are just moistened. Don't overmix, or you'll get tough not tender muffins.
Divide between the 12 muffin cups.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
**You could make one cornbread. Butter an 8×8 pan, an pour the batter into that. Baking should still take about 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can heat a cast iron skillet on the stovetop, toss a chunk of butter into the skillet and pour your cornbread batter into that. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Let cool briefly, otherwise muffin papers will stick, and enjoy!
