If you have filled out the FAFSA form, you might think you are done.
You are in for a surprise!
The FAFSA only covers federal student aid and not the financial aid from colleges and universities themselves.
About 400 colleges, organizations and private high schools offer scholarships and grants. They want more details about your finances to determine how much aid they're willing to give you. If you aren't aware of this extra step when applying for financial aid, you may not get all that you're eligible for and may regret it later when it is too late.
These institutions use the CSS PROFILE administered by the College Board, the creators of the SAT.
It isn't free. On top of each college application fee, you'll need to add $25.00 for the initial filing (which includes sending the PROFILE to one college), then $16.00 to send it to each additional college.
It takes 45 minutes to two hours to complete the PROFILE. Some of the items you need to fill the form are:
Some of the institutions that use CSS PROFILE are:
Did you know that $14K Financial aid dollars received by the average undergrad last year
When do I file the PROFILE? You may file the PROFILE as early as Oct. 1, 2016. However, you should file no later than two weeks before the EARLIEST priority filing date specified by your colleges or programs.
How much the PROFILE cost? The fee for the initial application and one college or program report is $25. Additional reports are $16.

I was offered a position at Brandeis University when I was about a month shy of graduation from Simmons School of Library and Information Science. I asked them if I could wait until I formally completed all my coursework before beginning the new job. They were amenable to that. [Neither of us knew I'd spend the first three weeks of my job in the hospital with pancreatitis tho]
It's not easy for catalogers to find jobs right out of school, particularly without having to move. I know that I'm very fortunate and privileged to have done so. In some ways it seems like Brandeis was an inevitability for me. My father attended Brandeis as an undergrad in the 70s, while my sabba both got his PhD there and taught. Years later I end up being their Hebrew cataloger. I never thought I'd be using my Hebrew knowledge in my professional career — but the timing of the position vacancy and my availability was perfect.
Let me also point out that I worked for a year or so at an unpaid cataloging internship. Having real-world [read here: non-classroom] cataloging experience on my resume gave me an immediate leg-up on the people who couldn't afford to accept unpaid work.
Two years and two months later, how have I grown? What did I learn? What's next?
The first and foremost thing is that the classroom is wonderful, but it's not the same as cataloging on the job. For one thing, there's an ILS. I'd worked with Voyager at Emerson [though only briefly briefly in the cataloging module] and with Evergreen at the State Library of Massachusetts, but now I was working on Alma, several months after a data migration from Aleph. ILSes are weird and persnickety and tetchy and do not display all the beautiful data that you've entered into them. There was a frustration to overcome in the first few months — knowing that the complex 77X relationships I was entering into records would not be displayed to the public, nor would any differentiation between genre/form and subject be displayed, despite that being such an important part of my classroom training.
I hadn't joined any professional organizations until I started at Brandeis. I felt that as a student I didn't have anything to contribute to the larger conversation. Now of course I recognize that that was incorrect, and I love hearing from students and think we need to hear from them even more. But that's where my head was at the time. I joined ALA [with ALCTS as a division] and added on GLBTRT and SRRT. I wanted to support the work that those two round tables were doing, so tossing a couple more bucks their way each year seemed like a good way to do that. I also joined NELA [New England Library Association], MLA [Massachusetts Library Association], and AJL [Association of Jewish Libraries]. My very first conference was right around the corner in October — a NELA conference in Dover, NH. I was slightly terrified at the idea of meeting all these new people and being expected to schmooze and dazzle. But it was totally fine! Smallish for my first conference, and turned out to be a lot less scary than I'd expected. I even made a new twitter friend!
The very next year ALA Midwinter was in Boston which was perfect for my first foray into national conferences. I was able to stay at my own house, eat my own breakfast and/or dinners if I wanted and just attend the conference during the day. I met loads of people from twitter, and saw from afar loads more whose work I'd read, or whose knowledge on list serv posts I admired.
It was at Brandeis that I first became involved in the NACO/SACO programs, first through the Judaica/Hebraica funnels and then as a full member of both. This work I found immensely rewarding. There was a joy and power in knowing that I'd created the record, and filled it with good controlled data which could represent a person/place/corporate body or work throughout library-dom. When it came to subjects, I was elated to be able to contribute to a body as vast and as storied as LCSH. I tentatively began doing some work on changing or updating headings as well as filling in gaps.
I also became more active on twitter during my time at Brandeis, finding new peers to collaborate with and bounce ideas off of. It was also during this period that I started this very blog. Blogging and twitter has led to more development opportunities than I could've imagined. Writing about my Emflix project here led to me writing a journal article about the same project in Code4Lib. Writing about a thought I had regarding faceting people terms in LCSH led to a presentation at the ALA conference in Orlando in 2016.
I want to talk about that presentation for a moment. I have deep regrets about certain aspects of that presentation. I spoke very glibly and indeed, inappropriately about the work and the people of the Policy and Standards Division of LC. Frankly, there was a lot that I didn't understand then [and by know means do I understand it all now] about the history and processes of their work and I didn't show them or what they do the proper respect, or even kindness. What is appropriate on twitter, or in casual conversations isn't necessarily appropriate for the national stage and I really overstepped some lines in that presentation.
Despite this misstep — I continued to plunge into our shared organization's work serving on a task force and serving as intern to a committee. There were projects at work that challenged me, forced me to really commit to specific workflows and keeping several different people in the loop. These are not traditionally things that I've done well, so I was glad to be pushed to be better at them. The work itself, was also challenging. As the Hebrew cataloger [I cataloged English materials as well as various other languages that crossed our desk but 30% of my job was solely Hebrew] I had to learn and become adept in an entirely separate set of practices that I'd never learned in school for encoding materials in RDA. In truth, I struggled with the Hebrew itself at times too. I hadn't taken any kind of rigorous Hebrew course since high school and never expected that I'd suddenly have to remember both the modern language and the rabbinical sphere.
Overall, my time at Brandeis has been filled with incredible opportunities and professional growth. I entered fresh from library school with no knowledge of how the work is done outside the classroom but my colleagues, were incredibly patient with me as I caught up. I know I'm leaving stronger, and I'd like to think I'm leaving them better off too.
Looking towards the future, I expect challenges in location — I've never lived outside Massachusetts or even the greater Boston area and will have to adjust a new pace, a new social standard.
I imagine the new job will have challenges that I don't even know what they are yet — new people, new expectations, perhaps a more formal setting, I'm not sure precisely what to expect. I hope to continue my professional contributions to the field, and also to leave more of a mark on the scholarly record although that isn't my strongest suit.
I'm excited and nervous for what comes next — but I know that I'm in good shape to face it.

Embedded upgrades have been broken in 1.2, chances are that they're still an issue.
Please do not cross post. You are clearly booting a 1.2.1 image and your posting in 1.3 section!
No - I tried both upgrade paths to rule out if it was an error with just 1.2.1.
1.2 Release to 1.2.1 BETA AND 1.2 Release to 1.3 ALPHA,
Both posts are valid and in the right sections, please correct me if I'm wrong.

^^ that is 1.2.1.
You got me :D - I used the same (terminal) screenshot as the error was the same, would you like me to reproduce the error just for continuity? kind of dragging the post out though!
Dragging it out? Nah.

Our Top Picks Best Overall: Breathe Right Nasal Strips for Congestion Relief Courtesy of Amazon. Buy on AmazonBuy on Walmart For cost, convenience, and effectiveness, you can't beat Breathe Right strips. Similar to a bandage, you apply one over the bridge of your nose where it helps to keep your nasal passage clear and open. They're great for occasional use when you're congested or on a regular basis for those with allergies or a deviated septum. While they come in a variety of formulas and designs, these with clear strips are good for sensitive skin, and this formula offers maximum relief. Customers say they're comfortable to wear, stay put through the night, and improve breathing significantly. Most reviewers say they sleep better and snore less when wearing them. They do advise, however, that if your nose isn't clean and dry, they may not stick as well. You should make sure your face is well washed and thoroughly dried before applying. If your nose is stuffed from a cold, check out the best medicines for a stuffy nose. Best Budget: Snorepin™ Anti Snoring Aid Buy on Amazon This tiny device, Snorepin, can have a big impact on snoring, according to hundreds of satisfied customers. To use, you insert one side into each nostril to dilate them and provide easier breathing throughout the night. Unlike strips that you toss after use, this device can be washed and reused, which saves money over time. Two sets come in each package, so you always have a backup. While they don't work for everyone (some users had trouble with fit), many customers say they're worth a shot. They also like that they're easy to take on the go and almost invisible, too. Best for the Nose: Theravent Snore Therapy Buy on AmazonBuy on Walmart For quick and easy relief from snoring, there are these strips from Theravent. To use, you place one of the vented strips over your nostrils before you head to bed. They look like a bandage, but instead they use the power of your own breathing to open up the nasal passages and thereby reduce snoring. They're small and easy to take along for travel or store in your nightstand. Clinically proven to reduce snoring, customers say they take some getting used to, but once you do they provide significant relief. While they don't work for everyone, many found that they have been an easy and effective solution to their snoring woes. Best for Mouth Breathers: Anti Snoring Chin Strap Buy on Amazon If you breathe through your mouth while sleeping, this chin strap can shut down the snoring, by keeping your mouth shut and forcing you to breathe through your nose. It fits most adult head sizes and is made of lightweight, breathable materials for comfort. It fastens with Velcro, and has extra-large spaces that fit around your ears. Also, this model is unique in that it's also equipped with special magnets to promote blood circulation and further quell snoring. Customers say it's a simple, natural and effective way to stop snoring. While it's not going to win anyone any nighttime beauty awards, most reviewers say it's comfortable, and, most importantly, it works well. If you're going to try a chin strap, it is important to note that the American Sleep Association says that while chin straps may be an effective solution for mouth snorers, "research is conflicting with some studies showing no benefit." Best Drops: Banyan Botanicals Nasya Oil Buy on Amazon If you're not comfortable with wearing strips or other devices, these nasya oil drops from Banyan Botanicals offer a good alternative. They're designed to help keep nasal passages lubricated and clear excess mucus, making breathing easier. To use, you simply lay back and put three-five drops in each nostril, then allow them to do their job. The manufacturer does warn that these drops shouldn't be used if you're pregnant or have the cold or flu, and as with all supplements, you should check with your doctor before you begin use. Best Pillow: Bed Wedge FitPlus Premium Wedge Pillow Buy on Amazon Sometimes snoring can be stopped by something as simple as a new pillow. This wedge pillow from FitPlus gets high marks from customers and just might help. Made of memory foam, it's soft and comfortable, and it slightly elevates the head, which can promote better breathing for some. It may also provide relief from issues like neck and back pain and acid reflux. It measures 24 x 28 x 7.5 inches, and it comes with a removable cover, which is machine washable. Online reviewers note that this pillow helps them breathe better while sleeping, is comfortable, and well-made. Looking for something else? Try the best pillows for back sleepers. Best Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece: VitalSleep Anti Snoring Device VitalSleep Buy on Vitalsleep.com This mouthpiece does double duty to help stop snoring and teeth grinding simultaneously. Made of soft, latex-free material, it molds to the shape of your teeth and mouth. Designed by a dentist, it's also been approved by the FDA. Customers find it's comfortable to wear and affordable, too. They say it does take some time getting used to it in the beginning, but afterward, it makes a huge difference in their quality of sleep and that of their sleeping partners who don't have to listen to them snore anymore.

Patricia Neden, Chief Executive Officer IBSA, looks forward to 2018
As we start 2018 here at IBSA, we look forward with enthusiasm to the opportunities that lie ahead.
From a Skills Service Organisation (SSO) perspective, all our Industry Reference Committees (IRCs) are now established and the level of engagement IBSA Manufacturing is getting from across manufacturing sectors is very encouraging.
In response to stakeholder feedback, we have refreshed our website (www.ibsa.org.au). In particular, this provides easier access to information regarding our IRCs and their projects and consultations.
2018 will see us deliver and finalise our current suite of training package development projects. We also continue to progress the next round of Industry Skills Forecasts with our IRCs. Along with the previous Forecasts, these give everyone a bank of information to draw from and help hone thinking on future projects.
We look forward to the continued growth of Australian Training Products, following IBSA Commercial and Futura Group joining together, during its first full year of operation.
This year, the professionalism of the Vocational , Education and Training (VET) industry and requirements for most trainers to upgrade their qualifications is a key focus for all. IBSA is well positioned to assist organisations and trainers to meet this challenge. Through Australian Training Products, we have developed updated TAE40116 qualification resources as well as self-evaluation resources for the two upgrade units through our online professional development facility IBSA Academy.
We're currently working with some of the largest training organisations in Australia to create a single, integrated process to make upgrading trainers quicker and more efficient while still ensuring quality.
Finally, my team and I will continue to do everything we can to help inspire workforce excellence in Australia and beyond.
Best regards

ChemicaL Neuroscience
Our lab studies a class of compounds that we call psychoplastogens, or small molecules capable of promoting neural plasticity. Such compounds have enormous potential for treating a wide variety of neuropsychiatric diseases including depression, anxiety disorders, and addiction. We use a combination of synthetic chemistry, molecular neurobiology, and behavioral neuropharmacology to 1) understand the fundamental mechanisms underlying the effects of psychoplastogens on the nervous system, and 2) develop next generation neurotherapeutics.

I really like the phrase, "a new normal." It's a very accurate description of my journey.
It's also an accurate description of a person's willingness to adapt and change, which, to me, is healthy and necessary for survival.
When something really big happens to you that changes you, you find that your modus operandi no longer works or is no longer healthy, so you have to find a new normal.
Here are some times in my life when I had to find a new normal:
- When my mother died. I had to find other women to fill that role in my life.
- When my father remarried and was absorbed in his relationship. I had to look to others to "parent" me.
- When I went from kindergarten, to elementary school, to junior high, to high school, to college.
- Whenever I started a new job or left a job.
- When I broke up with my boyfriend. I had to be okay with being alone because I wasn't about to just hook up with anyone just to be with someone.
- When I got married. I had adapt to being a married person.
- When I started or stopped a ministry.
- When I had kids. I had to become a mother.
- When the kids left for college. I had to adjust to the empty nest.
- When the kids got married. I had to become a mother-in-law.
- When my kids moved across the country. I had to love to travel and be okay with them far away.
- When the kids had kids. I had to become a grandmother.
- When I've gotten physically older. I had to change eating and exercise habits.
- When my sister died.
- When my friend died.
- When I retired from my 17 year career. What do I do now? Haha!
- Anytime I had a major health crisis. I had to adjust to limitations or fight to regain what the illness had taken.
Those were the major ones, there have been minor ones as well. But you get the picture.
I have heard people say that when a person gets into a relationship or a career they should retain themselves and not lose themselves in it. But I have to say I was and am one of those people who, when a major change comes (or hits), I really don't know what to do next because I was all in.
It takes me a while to find my new normal.
When I was a mother to younger children, I was in 100%! When I was in a job, I did my best. When my sister and my friend got sick I was a major caregiver. I was all there.
I have felt a little ashamed of my penchant for "getting way too deep" and I have criticized myself for the times after a loss or a change when I felt lost. I'd say, "If you would have just thought of yourself more and taken care of you, this change or loss wouldn't be so hard on you.
I would beat myself up when people would say, "Just take some time for yourself, go back to your hobby, find some time to do what you love, follow your heart, follow your dream, follow your passion."
I'd stare at them with mouth open. I didn't know what any of that was.
But you know, if I wasn't all in, was I really there?
I said all that to say this…
I'm at another point where I have to find a new normal.
I've decluttered my life (to have more time to do those illusive things that I want to do, haha!). I've organized what's left and I'm trying to be more thoughtful in my spending. I don't want to just fill my home up with things that I'll just need to throw out later.
And let's be honest, we live in a world where all we do is spend money!
We shop, not because we need anything, not really because we want anything, we shop for entertainment and instant gratification.
So, what else do you do?
Oh, I've heard all the suggestions.
- Go take a walk.
- Take a bath.
- Binge on Netflix.
- Garden.
- Cook.
- Enjoy your hobby – what hobby?
- Read.
- Give yourself a mani or pedi.
- Organize your makeup (I really read that, haha!)
- Give yourself a facial.
I feel like the only suggestions people have for me is to exercise, brush up on my personal grooming and lose myself in a Netflix coma.
Are there any other ideas out there?
Shoot me a message.

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - The Snyder Entertainment Group, LLC announced its plan to build a multi-attraction family fun park in Lafayette Thursday.
According to a press release to News 18, the park will include a full service "Hour Time" restaurant and bar, a 1,000-foot outdoor family electric go-kart track, miniature golf, bumper cars, laser tag, batting cages, an arcade, a sports pub and a pizza parlor.
Mark and Monte Snyder purchased the "Hour Time" Clock at an auction in 2016 and have kept their intentions under wraps while they worked out the details for the park. The twin brothers are lifelong natives of the area and have experience in the "Fun" business, managing the two Putt-Putt® mini golf courses previously located in the area.
According to their website, the family fun park will be "located just minutes from Interstate I-65 on a main North-South thoroughfare on the East side of the City."
The brothers plan to develop the fun park in six phases. The Snyder's hope to raise money for the project through crowdfunding.
The first phase could open by Spring 2018 and will operate evenings and weekends. The second phase of construction will begin after phase one, with a planned grand opening Sumer 2018.

I was sent a wonderful little book from Ben Bella, Inc. about Homer "the Blind Wonder Cat" by Gwen Cooper. I am always a sucker for animal stories and I was prepared for a heartbreaking story about a blind cat and his struggle through life. What I got was a wonderful tale of a lively cat, Homer who despite not being born blind still lives a full life with his humans and other cats around him.
Homer, returns in this Holiday story as a tale filled with cheer. Fifteen years earlier, doctors had given Homer's family that he was unlikely to survive and wouldn't have much of a life due to being a tiny, sightless kitten. Through the miracle that is animals Homer grew into a functioning cat that had no trouble climbing seven foot bookshelves, saved his human mom's life by chasing a late-night burglar from their apartment. Over the years Homer has risen to global fame and paving the way for other special needs animals who like him were considered "unadoptable".
The story begins with two weeks before Christmas and Homer has once again been given grave news, he may not even make it to Christmas. This cat cannot be counted out. Homer once again goes against what tests are showing and lives his life the way he wants. To me this is what makes animals so great and this type of determination is what makes Christmas so endearing. I recommend this story to all pet owners. It doesn't matter if you like dogs more than cats, pigs more than sheep. This is a heart touching story and it makes you believe that if this little blind cat can do all of the miraculous things he does then why not give other animals the same chance? This touching Christmas story has highs and lows that come with owning any pet. Homer defies the odds given to him and lives on his own terms.
Homer and The Holiday Miracle can be found on Amazon Barnes & Nobles, Books-A-Million, and other independent bookstores and gift stores nationwide or subscribe to Gwen Cooper Cat Tales
Homer is a wonderful story to put in any animal lovers stocking and share this story of such a inspirational cat.
Homer and the Holiday Miracle is written by Gwen Cooper, New York Times bestselling author of the memoirs Homer's Odyssey, A Fearless Feline Tale; Homer: The Ninth Life of a Blind Wonder Cat; and My Life in a Cat House: True Tales of Love, Laughter, and Living with Five Felines, released last week in hardcover by BenBella Books (cover art attached!). Gwen's work has been published in more than two-dozen languages, and she donates 10% of her royalties on all book sales to organizations that serve abused, abandoned, and disabled animals.
Gwen Cooper is the New York Times bestselling author of the memoirs Homer's Odyssey: A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned About Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat and Homer: The Ninth Life of a Blind Wonder Cat; the novels Love Saves the Day andDiary of a South Beach Party Girl; and the crowd-sourced collection of "cat selfies," Kittenish (a send-up of Kim Kardashians' Selfish), 100% of the proceeds from which are donated to support animal rescue in Nepal following the 2015 earthquake. Her work has been published in nearly two-dozen languages and territories around the world. She is a frequent speaker at shelters and fundraisers, and donates 10% of her royalties from Homer's Odyssey to organizations that serve abused, abandoned and disabled animals. Gwen lives in Manhattan with her husband, Laurence. She also lives with her two perfect cats-Clayton the Tripod and his litter-mate, Fanny-who aren't impressed with any of it.

You probably thought I was referring to palm oil.
While that particular cooking ingredient has been found to be harmful to everything from the cardiovascular system of humans to the animals whose habitats are destroyed in the production of it, the oil I'm speaking of that has been linked to cancer, heart disease and dementia is…
Vegetable oil.
Researchers were shocked to find that cooking with vegetable oil can release dangerous chemicals that are linked to a variety of diseases.
The chemicals in question, as reported by The Telegraph, are known as aldehydes. Various studies (such as this particular study), have conclusively linked aldehydes to cancer and a host of other serious illnesses.
The release of the aldehydes occurs when the vegetable oils are heated up. The following chart compares this across various types of oils.
Via The Telegraph
Lead researcher Martin Grootveld, professor of bioanalytical chemistry and chemical pathology, says the concentration of aldehydes in vegetable oil is up to 200 times that of the safe daily limit ordained by the World Health Organization.
I certainly am, especially in light of all the information available citing vegetable oil as the way to go for high- temperature cooking and frying.
But while the temperature at which vegetable oil will catch fire is much higher than that of olive oil, thereby making it safer while you're cooking with it, the safety pretty much ends there.
The same study found that coconut oil is by far the safest to cook with. It produces the lowest levels of aldehydes.
And coconut oil is pretty fantastic for other things too – check out this list we put together citing 11 core functions of coconut oil.
More Reasons To Avoid Vegetable Oil
Authority Nutrition put together quite an interesting list filled with even more reasons to avoid vegetable oil.
For one, vegetable oils are actually far from natural. In fact, the production process is anything but.
They also contribute to inflammation and have tons of trans fats.
So there you have it – vegetables aren't always good for you. Who knew?

There haven't been many days off this fall, but, last Friday, the fates conspired to let me go down to Old Lyme in the late afternoon. I walked from Old Lyme Shores to Hawk's Nest, where the beach stops, as the sun crawled down through a juicy mess of blue, purple and orange.
This was noteworthy because I had not stood on Connecticut's coast for a full year. It wasn't a beach summer.
One afternoon in June, my phone rang. My dermatologist. The thing he had removed. Just a precaution, he had said. Melanoma. You're going to be fine, he said.
The melanoma was a quiet house guest. It had stayed in its space, never asking for extra pillows or blankets. And when it came time to leave, it did not — as these things go — make a terrible fuss. Two pieces of day surgery. Cut on Tuesday. Pathology report on Wednesday evening. Clean margins. I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding and pumped a fist in the air. Back to surgery on Thursday so that parts of my face could be artfully pulled together to cover up the rather large hole the guest had left behind.
Sort of.
I had never been the guy with cancer before. I had been the sympathetic guy or something. I could barely even accept that I had cancer at all. It seemed to me that a thing with cancer had been using my head as an Airbnb. I didn't have a problem. The thing did.
Of course, other problems set up inside you. "To live is to battle with trolls in the vaults of heart and brain." That's Henrik Ibsen. The trolls had a field day with me. I needed therapy. I needed God. I needed everybody.
You need your friends. From what I can tell, 50 percent of the people in West Hartford who get a cancer diagnosis call Jim Chapdelaine. That's who I called while I waited for my scheduled surgery. Jim, who has survived worse than what you have, sits there sipping coffee and talking and giving you the perspective you so sorely lack.
I explained my plan for the rest of my life, which essentially was to get rechecked by my dermatologist every three days and wear SPF 900 if I so much as listened to a Beach Boys record in a sunless bunker.
"You're not going to be some kind of china doll," he said. "You're going to have to live."
Well, yeah. That.
I needed the woman in my life. I needed my son, my tiny family. And, oh God, I needed my friends. The older the better. One of my college friends marched down to his synagogue and put my name on the prayer list. Another one just wrote, "Anything. Literally anything you need."
Somewhere along the way, cancer got rebranded as winning. Those TV commercials of happy people on bikes, with the peppy rock song in the background. Sorrow is unfashionable. One day it occurred to me that I felt sorrow to have had this thing.
Labor Day came. There was a beautiful wedding. The father of the bride — the guy who had gone to the synagogue — stood up to give a toast. He told the bridal party, you won't get a new chance to make old friends. The old friends you make now are your old friends.
After Labor Day, several friends died, including the composer David Macbride, who had just finished a new piece for piano quartet and narrator, written with me in mind. The Avery Ensemble and I will debut it Nov. 17, but David won't be there.
You walk until the beach stops. You look at the sunset. Another day is done, irretrievably drowned in beauty. One day, eventually, the sun will set without you.
I took only one walk on the beach before the weather turned cold. I should have taken more. I'm not a china doll. But sometimes it just feels that way.
More walks. More salt water birds. More time with old friends. More sunsets, until you go. There aren't that many things that matter, They say that Goethe's last words were, "More light!" Yes please.
Colin McEnroe appears from 1 to 2 p.m. weekdays on WNPR-FM (90.5). He can be reached at email@example.com.

DJ/Producer Jared Dietch aka The Camel Rider has been spinning in New York City clubs and internationally for over 15 years. With influences ranging from African and South American tribal rhythms to the rock anthems of his youth, Jared's signature style has many influences but is always dramatic with a sexy vibe.
As a producer, The Camel Rider has steadily been building steam since 2003 when "Twisted" [Subliminal Records] reached 5 on the UK Dance chart. In 2007 a rework of what is now considered a classic, "Twisted 2007" was released on Subliminal Sessions 11 and has become another club anthem.
Later in 2007, The Camel Rider's "Tiny Dancer Remix" [Universal Music Group] made its debut as the Essential New Tune on the BBC's Pete Tong show. It was heralded by Pete Tong as "an inspired moment in dance music that you can expect to hear on radio all day," and you did. The Camel Rider's "Tiny Dancer Remix" was played in heavy rotation on radio stations worldwide and on MTV.
Another BBC Radio 1 Pete Tong pick, The Camel Rider & Mark Alston's "Addicted" featuring Mark Shine [Wasted Youth Music] was featured on the Future Music Festival 08 CD and is an international radio favorite.
A club smash in 2008, The Camel Rider's "Fall Down On Me" featuring SuSu Bobien picked up early by Erick Morillo for Subliminal Sessions 12, was the first release on Jared's own label, Camel Rider Records which debuted with remixes by Mark Alston and DJ Angola.
2009 started with a bang with Camel Rider Records release of "Get Together" by The Camel Rider and Mark Alston featuring Christina Lauren reaching 1 on Xpressbeats, weeks before its' official launch and 7 on DJ Magazine's "Dancefloor Destroyers" Top 50 Chart.
DJ Times magazine recently profiled "The Camel Rider's Path to the Top." With the launch of Camel Rider Records, the growing popularity of The Camel Rider's weekly radio show and podcasts and a succession of dance floor hits, the path is clear.

Some exciting news. This year is the celebration of Canada's 150th anniversary and I was selected to be part of the event called – Double Exposure: Celebrating Canada's 150th through images of Dundas.
This even is a multi-site, group exhibition, where I will be part of a larger, National celebration of Canada's sesquicentennial. The exhibition will take place from the end of June until the end of July, 2017 in three Dundas venues: The Dundas Museum and Archives, the Carnegie Gallery and the Dundas Valley School of Art (DVSA). The exhibition will be open to the public with free admission. Based on the partners' Winterblooms program, which attracts over 2000 visitors in a 4 day period, we anticipate Double Exposure will attract significantly greater numbers over the course of the month-long exhibition.
Each artists is asked to pick one image from the Dundas Museum's online archive and then produce their own piece of that same image. Pieces can be anything from a literal re-shoot of the image to a flight of fancy that plays on the original but re-interprets it in new ways. To this end, pieces don't need to be photographs but must incorporate photography in their creation. I have about 4 ideas as to how I will produce my piece which is really exciting. I chose the old Carnegie Museum picture seen below.

Many people are aware of the physical and cognitive symptoms of concussion, but frequently ignore emotional effects, like irritability, depression or anxiety. Emotional symptoms can accompany other persistent cognitive symptoms after a concussion and these are often the signs that go unnoticed. These symptoms can be particularly stressful for students who are struggling to keep up with their school work and busy social lives.
The best way for concussion patients to manage emotions after sustaining a concussion is to get help from a medical professional and follow their recommendations. Students who have had a concussion need the support of their schools as well as a concussion management plan.
Each person who sustains a concussion has a unique situation and requires an individualized clinical approach, so it is important that each concussion patient receives an individualized clinical treatment plan. Schools require the support of their schools in determining the best way to balance their academic workload and should have a concussion management plan to assist them.
Sometimes patients will not realize they feel anxious and will describe feeling dizzy, tired or "foggy", and clinicians will often ask patients how much time they have spent worrying about their symptoms to uncover underlying anxiety. Once emotional symptoms have been diagnosed, increased structure in routine and daily exercise plans can often be prescribed by medical professionals.
Managing cognitive and emotional symptoms in post-concussion syndrome
There are different strategies to manage cognitive and emotional symptoms experienced when post-concussion syndrome is experienced. Interventions can include cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness-based relaxation, psychotherapy, information, reassurance and education.
Cognitive behavioural therapy
Psychological approaches to treatment or prevention of post-concussion syndrome have been widely studied and there is promising evidence that cognitive behavioural therapy may be effective in this regard.
Mindfulness-based relaxation
Research indicates that the severity of symptoms increased when patients were under stress, and that the effects were reduced with mindfulness-based relaxation techniques.
Some rehab programs can include interventions with a psychotherapist if required.
Information, reassurance and education
Research indicates that some of the most beneficial resources for concussion patients are information about diagnosis and possible post-concussion symptoms, education on ways of coping and resumption of activities, individual and group support resources. One of the best Canadian resources used by medical professionals, as well as parents, athletes and coaches is http://www.cattonline.com

Import tariffs and outsourcing code
Here's my theory and I'm submitting it for peer review:
First, the idea that you don't protect some industry is silly.
Albert D. Kallal
I won't even pretend to be an economist, but what happens in these three scenarios?
In reply To Albert... Mmm, balanced trade looks awfully like a managed economy, don't it?
Frederic Faure
"but ban human beings from moving to wherever they will make a better living"
Tony Chang
For F Sake everyone, read some Adam Smith and brush up on your comparative trade advantage stuff.
Nat Ersoz
There is an argument that economics is not really a science at all. No control groups and so on. So you could conclude that it is all a lot of speculative nonsense, regardless of whether Adam Smith wrote some ideas down in a book or not. Although being a mere techie I wouldn't know who he is. Didn't he invent the steam engine or something?
If labor could move back and forth between different countries as freely as goods can, and it is done in a slow manner the result won't necessarily be that everybody floods into America.
T. Norman
Anyway, tariffs on software is an unworkable idea. It is nearly impossible for the government to detect the movement of software into the country and properly determine a taxable amount. They'll often end up taxing open source software while another company's $50-million system goes undetected.
T. Norman
I'm not sure I agree with your analysis of the state of tarrifs in the U.S. Nat. I'm from New Zealand (currently living in Australia, working in India) where the government removed pretty much all of the government-imposed tarrifs and subsidies in the mid 1980s. At the time, this caused a lot of pain as industry (particularly farming which is a large part of the N.Z. economy) had to move from being protected by the government to being forced to compete on a "level playing field" with imported goods.
Walter Rumsby
Itarian wrote, "In conclusion, I think the US government should seriously consider opening up all our industries, eliminate tariffs, and espouse free market principles across the board."
One Programmer's Opinion
Nameless No 3, offshoring and before it the H1-B program are not about global efficiencies. Offshorers charge prices only slightly lower than their American competitors, even though wage rates for Indian staff are less than a tenth than for American staff. In other words, business owners and dodgy entrepreneurs are pocketing massive profits without reducing end prices at all.
Walter Rumsby, there's a reason Indian firms concentrate in business development; that area is easier for less capable development efforts. Productised software requires first class expertise.
& me
& me:
Walter Rumsby
" ...We have found that worldwide inequality has been rising sharply under globalisation."
T. Norman
Economics always tends to chaos because its a set of formulas around an independant variable. Money no longer has any real value its always a notional one.
Simon Lucy
Surely current economic policies are just another of a long list known *not* to feed 6 billion? Or did you just wake up from some kind of dream just before you posted?
Congratulations on your good work Dino. A good contribution. If everyone did the same the world would be a better place.

U.S. faces new pressure over missing CIA contractor
WASHINGTON - The Obama administration faced intensified pressure Friday to find former CIA contractor Robert Levinson - both from lawmakers and the Levinson family - nearly seven years after he disappeared in Iran during what now has been revealed as an unofficial spy mission.
Levinson's family urged the government "to step up and take care of one of its own." Members of Congress said they wanted to know more about the case, which led to three veteran analysts being forced out of the agency and seven others being disciplined.
Levinson vanished after a March 2007 meeting with an admitted killer on Kish Island, an Iranian resort. For years, the U.S. publicly described him as a private citizen who traveled to the tiny Persian Gulf island on business. But an Associated Press investigation revealed that Levinson actually was a contractor working for the CIA, and was paid by a team of agency analysts who were acting without authority to run spy operations to gather intelligence.
If he is still alive at age 65, Levinson has been captive longer than any other American known to be held overseas.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Levinson, who retired after 28 years at the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration, was not a U.S. employee at the time of his disappearance. A contractor would not be considered a government employee.
Carney declined to discuss the case in detail but said numerous U.S. officials, including President Barack Obama, have pressed Iran for help on finding and returning Levinson.
"Since Bob disappeared, the U.S. government has vigorously pursued and continues to pursue all investigative leads, as we would with any American citizen missing or detained overseas," Carney said. "We continue to be focused on doing everything we can to bring Bob home safely to his family. This remains a top priority of the U.S. government."
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said the U.S. believes Levinson is being held by the Quds Force, which is the special operations wing of Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
"He is in the custody of some pretty bad people," Intelligence Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., told Fox News.
Other lawmakers said they would seek more answers in Levinson's case, and his family in Florida pleaded for the government to do more.
"After nearly seven years, our family should not be struggling to get through each day without this wonderful, caring man that we love so much," the family said in a statement.
The AP first confirmed Levinson's CIA ties in 2010 and continued investigating. It agreed three times to delay publishing the current story because the government said it was pursuing promising leads to get him home.
The AP is reporting the story now because, nearly seven years after his disappearance, those leads have repeatedly come up empty.

Die-hard fans of the sage of Omaha, Berkshire chairman and legendary investor Warren Buffett, can hear him dish out investment maxims from the comfort of their homes.
It's that time of the year when a number of top Indian investment professionals make a pilgrimage to Omaha to attend the annual shareholders' meeting of Berkshire Hathaway on Saturday (April 30).
But, with the entire event set for a live webcast for the first time this year, die-hard fans of the sage of Omaha, Berkshire chairman and legendary investor Warren Buffett, can hear him dish out investment maxims from the comfort of their homes.
BSE member Ramesh Damani, who has visited Omaha twice in the past to attend the meet, is one such investment veteran who will not be travelling to the US this year but will stay glued to the webcast on Saturday.
"Omaha is the Mecca of value investing; it's like going on a pilgrimage. Despite the webcast, it is well worth paying a visit if you haven't done so already," he says.
Neil Parikh, chief executive of PPFAS Mutual Fund and son of noted investor Parag Parikh who died last year in a car crash in Omaha, is another investment professional who will be catching all the action from home.
"Until this year, if you wanted a lowdown of the proceedings at the annual meet, you had to either be there in person or wait for the notes to be circulated online," says Parikh, who has accompanied his father in the past to attend the meet.
Parikh, however, believes that nothing beats the experience of "being there" in person with about 40,000 other shareholders and likens the experience to watching a live cricket match or a rock concert.
"It's always special to see Buffett and investment partner Charlie Munger field questions with their characteristic wit and wisdom," he says.
It's no surprise, then, that a few regulars have booked their seats this year despite the webcast.
This includes Motilal Oswal Financial Services co-founder Raamdeo Agrawal, who has been a regular at the event for more than a decade now.
"It's an investing pilgrimage and attending the AGM (annual general meeting) with thousands of believers imparts a different level of conviction and energy," says Agrawal.
"Apart from the investment talk, their approach towards shareholders and corporate governance practices is a source of inspiration to everyone who wants to build a sound investment business."
Group company Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund has, in fact, arranged a trip for 60 distributors to attend the meet this year.
"Our investing philosophy is influenced by the principles practised at Berkshire and we hope the day-long event will help our business partners appreciate where our thinking is coming from," says Aashish Somaiyaa, managing director and chief executive of the fund house.
Buffett's oft-repeated Buffetisms include "Rule No 1: Never lose money. Rule No 2: Never forget rule No 1", "Never invest in a business you can't understand" and "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get".
Most of these Buffetisms revolve around the concept of value investing, a strategy of selecting stocks that trade for less than their intrinsic values.
Value investors seek to invest in stocks of companies which they believe the market has undervalued.
The weekend at Omaha, however, is not about imbibing dull investment principles alone.
Last year, for instance, a shareholder asked Buffett and Munger about their recipe for making friends.
To this, Munger replied, tongue firmly in cheek, that the only way he knew how to achieve this was by getting richer and more generous.
He even doled out tips to save one's marriage, saying the key was to focus on changing oneself rather than the partner.
Besides the Berkshire meet, Omaha hosts several other informal investment conferences during the weekend, giving a wider platform to interact with other value investors.
"It's less about learning and more about the experience," observes Damani.
Adds Parikh: "It's perhaps the only city in the world where so many like-minded investors can be found in one place."
And in many ways, the trip is also a chance to own a slice of history.
Parikh, for instance, has made it a point to visit landmarks in Omaha such as Nebraska Furniture Mart and Gorat's Steak House that find mention in Buffett's letters and biographies.
"It's like walking through history," he says.

The Ash Tree
We are really lucky to have a purpose built kitchen and dining facilities on site which was opened in 2016. We have three trained chefs who provide healthy, hot, nutritious meals to the children of High Ash everyday.
Lunch is served between 12:15pm and 1:30pm. Key stage 1 children are served first and Key stage 2 classes come in afterwards on a rota basis. Children can choose where they sit in the dining room and children with a packed lunch still eat in the dining room even if they don't have a school meal. Children are given coloured wristbands which correspond to the meal that has been chosen to them, which are shown to the catering team members who are serving. Any children who have an allergy are also given a yellow band which they keep on throughout the whole of their time in the dining room, to make all lunchtime staff aware that the child has an allergy.
Children have the choice of seasonal vegetables or salad to have with their meal. We have a fabulous salad bar, where the children can help themselves to what they want.
Lunchtime staff members encourage the children to eat as much as they can at lunchtime and to try new things.
When a child has finished their main meal, they scrape any left over food into the bin and put away their plate, cup and cutlery on the waste trolley.
We have a desserts table where the children can help themselves to the dessert of their choice. There are always 4 options; Fruit jelly, Fresh fruit and fruit yogurt are available daily, plus another daily dessert. If your child has an allergy, they will receive their dessert directly from the kitchen.

Fair recruitment
Reported abuses involve one or more of the following: deception about the nature and conditions of work; retention of passports; illegal wage deductions; debt bondage linked to repayment of recruitment fees; threats if workers want to leave their employers, coupled with fears of subsequent expulsion from a country. A combination of these abuses can amount to human trafficking and forced labour. Despite the existence of international labour standards relating to recruitment, national laws and their enforcement often fall short of protecting the rights of workers, and migrant workers in particular.
In response to those challenges, the ILO launched a global "Fair Recruitment Initiative" to:
- help prevent human trafficking and forced labour;
- protect the rights of workers, including migrant workers, from abusive and fraudulent practices during the recruitment process (including pre-selection, selection, transportation, placement and possibility to return);
- reduce the cost of labour migration and enhance development outcomes for migrant workers and their families, as well as for countries of origin and destination.
Our approach
● General principles and operational guidelines for fair recruitment and definition of recruitment fees and related costs
Business and private sector engagement
Data and measuring recruitment costs
● Statistics for SDG indicator 10.7.1: Guidelines for their Collection
Global knowledge generation
● ILO-ITC Training Materials on Fair Recruitment
● ILO-ITC Course: Establishing fair recruitment processes
● General principles for fair recruitment: A visual representation
Workers' empowerment
Media engagement
● Media and the Fair Recruitment Initiative: ILO and IFJ engage journalists on ethical reporting
● Training for Journalists in Tunisia on Labour Migration and Fair Recruitment

My personal opinion of rumors in this community is that we get bored with not hearing any news and so we decide to make up our own. I kind of think in some respects this is narcissistic behavior raising it's ugly head. People like being the center of attention and you know, if a well-placed news tidbit gets us noticed, what harm could it do??…and besides, it could be true. What seems like something so innocent – like simply giving our opinion on something – could easily wind out of control. Once upon a time (back during the writing and recording of the RCM album – which I personally felt went on about 18 months too long.), I remember some crazy rumor flying through the community about the band working with Kanye West. I suppose that it was very possible that phone calls had been exchanged between Kanye's people and Duran's. I don't know – that's why I get paid the big bucks. (Oh wait….) Anyway, I was pretty frustrated at the time and mentioned on our message board that I bet I could start rumors about the band working with Britney Spears and that it would fly. Not long after that I did a search (Yes, I had free time back then.) on Duran Duran working with Britney Spears. Lo and behold – news items popped up citing "rumors read on fan message boards". Honestly people. If you're going to use MY completely fabricated, totally false rumor, at least credit me as the source. Dammit. See how quickly things start?
Not too long ago, there was a rumor circulating – and maybe it is still out there – that John is leaving the band. I felt pretty sure that wasn't happening. The rumor made no sense, and aside from his continued (and very much noted) absence from Twitter, as far as I can tell, that rumor was a complete waste of time. However, every now and then, I still see people chatting about the possibility. Their theory? Well, he's not on Twitter, now is he? I often wonder if people have ever heard of taking a break. Maybe he needed time to get his own personal priorities back in line? Maybe he just saw Twitter as a time waster and he needed to move on. Perhaps something spurred him into realizing that he needed to be present in his own private life. Sometimes things happen that we aren't necessarily privy, which I recognize is a very tough concept for fans. He has this entire other life of which you and I are not a part. I also know I'm not too worried. I figure he'll either come back when he's ready, or he won't and I'll still wave to him at the next show. Either way, I think he's still in the band and I think that while the rumor annoyed the hell out of many of us, we need to just relax a little.
That brings me to just this past week, when I started noticing discussion on Twitter that caught my eye, but I didn't get involved until I started getting personal messages. I hesitate to bring it up, but I think it's worth noting if only for the sheer magnitude of seeing what gets the community riled up. The discussion has been something about hearing that Warren was back with the band again, and people wondered what would happen to Dom. Oh boy…here we go, right? First of all, I have no knowledge of any of it, whether it's true or not. However, let's just look at some facts, just for fun. TV Mania is coming out with their album on March 11th, correct? Warren at least appears to be helping out with the promotion of that album's release, and seems to also be helping out with the @TVManiaMusic Twitter. Maybe…because we still can't really tell for sure who the creative genius is behind all of that. The 20th anniversary for the Wedding Album (Duran Duran) took place on February 23rd. Warren offered a beautifully written piece on his thoughts of that special anniversary, as did the rest of the band. Then Katy (who I honestly don't think realized what was going on in the fan community with regard to this rumor) mentioned how fun it was to work on that piece with everyone. Then finally, someone let me know that Warren was hanging out in DD's Second Life. Somehow all of those things, as disjointed as they seem to me – have made some people in the community believe that Warren is back in Duran Duran, and they just haven't told Dom yet. Or the fans. Can you just envision my eyes rolling right now???
I know I'm not commenting unless this really becomes news, and this my friends…is not news, it's wild guessing and assumption at this point. It's only worth mentioning because it is another example of just how quickly rumors spread and grow out of almost nothing. Stop the insanity!
We must really and truly be bored…which is why I will close this with a bit of news: Mark your calendars and plan to be in Chicago, October 18-20 for a DD fan convention!! More details to come this week!!

1.OECD publishes report on neutralising the effects of branch mismatch arrangements (BEPS Action 2)
A branch mismatches occurs where two jurisdictions apply different classifications to the allocation of income or expenditure between, the branch in head office of the same taxpayer.
In 2015 as part of the BEPS Project, the OECD released a report entitled Neutralising the effects of Hybrid Mismatch Arrangements. This report focused on mismatches resulting from differences in the tax treatment or characterisation of hybrid entities. However, It did not directly consider similar issues that can arise through the use of branch structures, although such structures can pose and create similar problems for domestic tax systems. The 2015 Report contained recommendations for changes to domestic laws that can mitigate the use of hybrid entities to generate multiple deductions for a single expense or deductions without corresponding taxation of the same payment. This latest Report seeks to set out similar recommendations to bring the treatment of these branch mismatch structures into line with outcomes described in the 2015 Report.
The 2015 BEPS Action 2 Final Report on Neutralising the effects of Hybrid Mismatch Arrangements is available here.
The 2017 OECD Report on Neutralising the effects of branch mismatch arrangements is available here.
2.Advocate General Kokott issues Opinion in A Oy case (C-292/16)
In her Opinion published on 13 July 2017, AG Kokott held that Finnish legislation relating to the implementation of Article 10 of the Mergers Directive (90/434 / EEC of 23 July 1990) and the transfer by a resident company of a foreign PE to a foreign company contravenes the freedom of establishment (Article 49 TFEU).
The case concerned the transfer of an Austrian PE by its Finnish Head Office to an Austrian resident company in exchange for shares in the Austrian company.
The legislation in question imposes an immediate charge to taxation in the year of the transfer of the assets in a PE when a Finnish resident company disposes of the assets in that PE for the purposes of transferring the business to a foreign company. The disparity arises by virtue of the fact that if the PE is transferred to another Finnish company the charge to tax may be deferred so as not to arise until the year of realisation.
AG Kokott held that this disparity in treatment contravened the Freedom of Establishment and was not justified by the principal of fiscal territoriality.
The Opinion is as yet not available in English, but is available in French, German and other languages at this link: Opinion of AG Kokott in A Oy case (C-292/16) 13 July 2017
3.BRICS Countries sign a mutual Memorandum of Understanding for dealing with G20 Tax Work
On 28 July 2017, the five BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) signed a memorandum of understanding pursuant to which they will enhance their cooperation on international tax matters including coordinating responses to the G20 tax initiatives, such as the BEPS Project. In addition, the five countries agreed to share knowledge and their experience on the implementation of the OECD BEPS measures and also in relation to the standard for the automatic exchange of information.
4.Senior Republican politicians abandon U.S. border tax proposals
In a Joint Statement on Tax Reform from Speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, and other senior Republican lawmakers, they stated that the proposed border tax would be shelved in favour of achieving broader and more far reaching tax reform, "there are many unknowns associated with it and have decided to set this policy aside in order to advance tax reform". The statement identifies, simplifying the tax code, and lowering tax rates for businesses and American families as priorities for reform.
