Kenworth Dump Trucks
Last week we covered Peterbilt dump truck models currently in production, now we move on to Peterbilt's brother brand, the Kenworth. Both truck types fall under the Paccar banner, so it will be interesting to see how the Kenworth dump trucks compare.
As with the Peterbilt truck models, the Kenworth models are ordered numerically and we only include the ones still in production. For example, you can still purchase a used T660, but their production halted in 2017.
Kenworth T270
The T270, a true Class 6 vehicle rated at 26,000 lbs GVW, is available as a dump truck and can be configured for non-CDL operation to broaden your pool of drivers.
Start with a versatile, rugged, and reliable chassis capable of tackling the toughest jobs. Then add advantages like contemporary aerodynamic styling, great visibility, excellent maneuverability, a driver-pleasing premium interior, and quick single point daily maintenance checks. These are trucks you can count on.
Kenworth T370
The Class 7 T370, as a dump truck, offers a GVW range from 26,001 to 66,000 lbs. It is a multi-dimensional performer to suit almost any load.
The T370 comes with state-of-the-art engine options for maximum power with excellent fuel economy and longevity, a wide range of axle and suspension capacities optimized to your loads and your roads, and many different manual and automatic transmission choices for just the right gearing no matter how long your driver has spent behind the wheel of a truck.
Kenworth T440
The T440 features modern aerodynamic styling, excellent visibility and maneuverability, superior ergonomics, and a fuel-efficient powertrain – all, in a robust chassis design meant to deliver more value over the long-haul or short-haul.
Kenworth T800
The PACCAR MX engines, axles, and PACCAR 12-speed automated transmission were designed from the ground up to work seamlessly with Kenworth trucks. Put them in a Kenworth truck, and the T800 possesses the strength and versatility to tackle whatever task your business can throw at it.
Kenworth T880
The next time your job load requires maximum effort, dispatch the one truck that's equipped to handle it: your Kenworth T880.
The T880 has the strength, stamina and operating economy you need to get the job done. Trucks at this size are becoming bulky, so these larger trucks are better when maneuverability is not a top priority over raw power.
Kenworth W900
Since its initial production almost sixty years ago (1961), the Kenworth W900 has been a standard in heavy-duty trucking, but it can also be used as a dump truck to carry heavy loads, say, from a quarry to a construction site on the other side of the county.
As with the sister T800 (and most vehicles on this list unless specially modified), the W900 comes with Paccar powertrains to give the truck it needs to complete the haul.
Kenworth W990
Presence, power, and personal style wrapped in a world-class design that redefines the long hood conventional. For professional drivers, the W990 represents the ultimate reward that stands for their dedication and sense of pride.
The video above shows the W990 hauling livestock, but the W990 is more than capable of working as a dump truck. When it comes to Kenworth hauling, it is hard to get much better than this.
Paccar purchased the Kenworth business in 1945 and has been utilizing the brand strongly since. No matter which model you purchase as a dump truck, you are sure to get a dependable vehicle that can get your jobs done.

The Avengers
3.2: Brief for Murder
Now, this is much more like it. Brief for Murder comes courtesy of the reliable duo of writer Brian Clemens and director Peter Hammond. John Laurie, in the second of four Avengers appearances, is on inimitable form as one half of the Lakin brothers, a legal duo who have met with spectacular court room success after years of obscurity. It seems the only thing previously stopping them was their approach; I had half-expected some diabolical mastermind or intricate device bolstering them. But no, they've simply hatched the idea of defending those for whom they have planned crimes in advance, thus anticipating and undermining the prosecution's case when it comes before the jury.
Steed: I want to commit a murder.
Miles Lakin: (offering him tea) One lump or two, Mr Steed?
Laurie's Jasper Lakin is complemented by Harold Scott as distinctly non-Scottish Miles. They typify the loveable rogue types of Avengers-land, whose deviously deadly activities fail to prevent them from being wickedly likeable really. Indeed, it's a joy to hear them treating their imminent prosecution as a challenge ("There is a precedent for this sort of thing…")
Miles Lakin: (apologising for having Steed searched) Tape recorders, you know. They make them devilishly small these days, heh, heh, make everything smaller.
Steed: Except lawyers' fees, maybe.
Miles Lakin: Oh. Ho-ho. Very good.
As is not infrequently the case, one or other of our avenging duo appears to be operating on the wrong side of the law, and also looks to be intent on killing the other. There's some flair to the ruse here, with a winning opening reveal that Steed, or Jonno ("I wonder if there really was a man called Jonno"), got the accused off.
When Cathy finds out, Steed calls on the Lakins to facilitate her murder and ensure an innocent verdict in the subsequent trial (thanks in part to an oversized bowler hat); with no hat, no gun, and no body, he is scot-free. Well played this, as even though it's pretty much a cert that they're knowingly working together, Macnee and Blackman create sustained tension.
Cathy then calls on the Lakins (possibly careless of them not to know what their client's victim looks like, but we'll let that go) to aid and abet her in a fraud and business conspiracy, whereby she wishes to emerge exonerated while her two associates are implicated ("Why didn't we think of this before? We could get anyone we wish disbarred. We could manipulate the whole courts system").
Perhaps the means of getting one over on the Lakins isn't quite as elegant as their own handiwork – they're so diligent elsewhere that they shouldn't fall for an elementary subterfuge – but Brief for Murder is pretty much a blast from start to finish. Which includes Steed visiting a yoga establishment where he is asked by principle Miss Prinn (Alice Fraser) if he believes in purity (Steed: A couple of baths a day, good soap"; Miss Prinn: I was referring to the spirit"; Steed: "I'm not so up in the spirit. A little sullied").

To have an amazing Osheaga experience, it's best to do some recon before the show. Using the Osheaga lineup schedule and YouTube, you can select the bands you want to see. If you get the smartphone app, you can save your selections to make it easier onsite.
To help you make your selection, Montreal Rocks offers you a quick and easy short guide to Friday's lineup. NOTE: I did not include Piknic Electronic. If you are into that music…you know you will be there.
Banners (Scene de la Riviere) 1:00 PM – 1:40 PM
Liverpool songwriter Mike Nelson with some uplifting falsetto pop. Best known for "Shine a Light" on the Fifa game trailer in 2015.
Caveboy (Scene Verte Sonnet) 1:00 PM – 1:35 PM
Indie DreamPop from our very own Montreal! Their songs have been featured a few shows including "Orange is the New Black".
Elephant Stone (Scene de la Vallee) 1:35 PM – 2:05 PM
Canadian indie rock band with a touch of Indian music and Brit Pop. What's a festival without a sitar? They toured with Beck, so not too shabby.
La Famille Ouellette (Scene des Arbres) 1:35 PM – 2:05 PM
French band doing folk/rock missed in with a little electro.
Dragonette (Scene de la Montagne) 1:40 PM – 2:25 PM
Canadian electronic music if you are in the mood to dance. Best known for the song "Hello" with Martin Solveig.
Randal's Choice: This is a hard one…stay at the big stages to catch Dragonette + Banners or head out to the smaller stages to catch Elephant Stone and Caveboy. I will have to flip a coin on this one.
Jeremy Loops (Scene Verte Sonnet) 2:05 PM – 2:45 PM
South African singer and songwriter with sing-a-long folk. Apparently quite the act to watch, as they won Best Live Act at the 2014 MK Awards (South Africa).
Kaleo (Scene de la Riviere) 2:25 PM – 3:10 PM
Icelandic Rock Band influenced by folk and blues. We can't seem to get enough of Icelandic bands!
Here is a clip of them in a volcano!
Jack Garratt (Scene de la Vallee) 2:45 PM – 3:25 PM
Indie Pop from British falsetto singer-songwriter.
Cool clip of people doing things that they fear.
Safia Nolin (Scene des Arbres) 2:45 PM – 3:25 PM
French folk from Quebec. Most pictures shows her picking her nose, but she picked my hometown (4 years) of Morin Heights to record her album, so good for her!
Randal's Choice: I think I will stick to the big stages for Kaleo and Jack Garratt…but I might sneak away to see a little Jeremy Loops.
Elle King (Scene de la Montagne) 3:10 PM – 3:55 PM
A blend of country, soul, rock and blues, Elle is best known for Ex's & Oh's but there is so much more to her repertoire. Maybe her dad Rob Schneider will be there to cheer her on, but she definitely can stand on her own two feet without the SNL pedigree. Hoping she tears one up on the banjo.
Goldlink (Scene Verte Sonnet) 3:25 PM – 4:10 PM
American rapper if you like Hip Hop. If you have seen the amazing documentary by Dave Grohl and The Foo Fighters "Sonic Highways", you will remember the Washington Go-Go movement, which is mixed with 80's beats to give Goldlink a vibe all his own.
Silversun Pickups (Scene de la Riviere) 3:55 PM – 4:40 PM
Trendy Alternative Rock from LA with a "Lazy Eye". I've been enamored with Silversun Pickups for a very long time so this one is a must see for me.
Randal's Choice: I can't miss Silversun Pickups… easy choice.
Dear Rouge (Scene des Arbres) 4:10 PM – 4:55 PM
Canadian (Vancouver) Electronic Rock Band. Husband and wife duo, influenced by the 80s and benefiting from the experience of their former bands to produce some catchy tunes.
Oh Wonder (Scene de la Vallee) 4:10 PM – 4:55 PM
London based Alt Pop duo who sing in unison (like early Tegan & Sara). See why they have become viral.
Passenger (Scene de la Montagne) 4:40 PM – 5:30 PM
British Folk Rock band best known for "Let Her Go". He wrote a song about meeting a man at 3 AM dying of lung cancer. So if that intrigues you, check out Mike Rosenberg and Andrew Phillips and maybe you will quit smoking as an added bonus!
Wolf Parade (Scene Verte Sonnet) 4:55 PM – 5:40 PM
Canadian Indie Rock. I met Dan Boeckner when he was touring with Operators and was blown away (article here). When Arcade Fire covers your songs, you know it has to be good.
Randal's Choice: I will be doing the smaller stages for this time slot. Wolf Parade will be a priority and I'm very curious about Dear Rouge.
Beirut (Scene de la Riviere) 5:30 PM – 6:20 PM
American band with Zach Condon that plays a mixture of indie-rock and world music. Started in hardcore and punk bands, but just could shake the desire to play the accordion and French Horn among others. Beirut brings an original sound to the festival that is sure to please.
The Wombats (Scene de la Vallee) 5:40 PM – 6:25 PM
Indie Pop/Rock from Liverpool England made by three friends. One of their songs is called "Let's Dance To Joy Division" so bonus points for that.
White Lung (Scene des Arbres) 5:40 PM – 6:25 PM
Canadian Punk Rock band who's fans include Annie Clark of St-Vincent no less. Interesting that the band is in a happy state (good for them), so their songs comes from schizophrenic cast of fictional characters that bring out the energy in their sound.
Randal's Choice: Beirut for sure, then I sneak off to White Lung.
Cypress Hill (Scene de la Montagne) 6:20 PM – 7:20 PM
American Hip Hop. The last time I saw Cypress Hill was at Lollapalooza in 1992 (Long Island, NY) on a super small way off the main stage. Now, 18 million albums later, they will hit the main stage and it's sure to be "Insane in The Brain".
Bloc Party (Scene Verte Sonnet) 6:25 PM – 7:15 PM
Indie Rock from London UK. Take some Cure, Joy Division, Sonic Youth & Radiohead and mix thoroughly. Catchy tunes for sure with great energy.
Randal's Choice: I will most likely do both.
Marian Hill (Scene des Arbres) 7:15 PM – 8:00 PM
American minimalist electronic with some deep jazzy beats described as "Sax-ual".
Years & Years (Scene de la Vallee) 7:15 PM – 8:00 PM
Electropop from the UK. The singer was discovered while singing in the shower, so yet another reason to keep belting it out while you soap up.
Half Moon Run (Scene de la Riviere) 7:20 PM – 8:20 PM
Our local homeboys play their indie rock on the big stage. I recently attended the intimate concert at the PSI Centre and it was amazing. Not to be missed.
Randal's Choice: Going to the Moon on this one.
The Underachievers (Scene Verte Sonnet) 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Hip Hop from Flathbush, Brooklyn who's videos have gone viral. If you are into Hip Hop, this is the band to see.
The Lumineers (Scene de la Montagne) 8:20 PM – 9:20 PM
Folk Rock from Denver, Colorado known for "Ho Hey". Born out of tragedy, Jeremiah Fraites and Wesley Schultz chose to use music to deal with the pain. "Ophelia" and "Submarines" give you a good idea of the groove they bring to the stage.
Randal's Choice: I'm going to pick Lumineers for this one.
Lapsley (Scene des Arbres) 9:00 PM – 9:50 PM
Electronica from Yorkshire UK. This 19-year-old has a voice that betrays her age and plays the guitar, piano and oboe.
Vince Staples (Scene de la Vallee) 9:00 PM – 9:50 PM
Hip Hop from Long Beach CA. His lyrics are like stories of his hard life experience in the North Side.
Red Hot Chili Peppers (Scene de la Riviere) 9:20 PM – 10:50 PM
It was that same 1992 Lollapalooza that I saw RHCP. You can't go wrong with this choice. Who knows, maybe Will Ferrell will play drums!
Flume (Scene Verte Sonnet) 9:50 PM – 10:50 PM
Electronica from down under which mixes house and UK Garage. Great remix with Osheaga alumni Lorde.
Randal's Choice: I really want to see Flume, but Red Hot Chili Peppers won this round.

Well, I got to give them credit. They got me good with that first episode. How Evil is the second episode of Conception?
Studio: GONZO
Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Harem, Magic, Romance
Well, I don't hate this show now at least. The first episode was mostly a farce from what this episode has told us. I do have to say that stupid raccoon thing needs to go away. He's the least entertaining thing about this show so far. He overkills the jokes to the point that they are tasteless and he just won't shut up. Anyway, my misgivings with this show aren't totally gone. The whole "relatives with a questionable relationship" thing still pushes the wrong buttons for me. Yeah, yeah "It's not as taboo in Japan," but that isn't really an excuse to me.
And no, I haven't totally forgiven that first episode. I think this show is trying to push things way too hard and get to places that should take time way too quickly. For instance, Itsuki and Mahiru accepted their roles and were willing to commit incest just based on what they were told by perfect strangers. How do you just accept something like that instead of trying to find a way out of it? And then there's the Love Ritual.
Oh, it's not? Then why did where they almost naked on a bed? I'm still not okay that Itsuki and Mahiru thought it was a sexual act, to begin with. It makes it seem like it was some kind of hazing that everyone is in on. It's just one of my many gripes.
I don't hate all of this show though. The other maidens seem nice but it was creepy that, the pervcoon was trying to set up Itsuki with one of them as quickly as he could. He was even employing all kinds of romance tropes to make it work. At the end of the day, he got what he wanted though. Itsuki had a grand total of two-star children.
And now here goes the part that does feel like the game I played. Itsuki ends up taking his children into the labyrinth for their first try at cleansing the impurities. Now here's the thing. The only ones with any training are the kids, at this point. Itsuki has only fought the one time, so far. They go in without any healing items to assist them.
By now you probably know where I'm going with this. Itsuki and his sons are a basically a level-one team of noobs, venturing into a level 20 dungeon. There's only one way that's gonna go. Badly. Both star-children are wiped out in the first monster encounter, leaving Itsuki with the job of carrying the figures they turn into to.
Overall, this episode is about as Evil as a Career Criminal (3). If you can put up with that stupid pervcoon this might be the show for you. I'm almost certain this one won't survive the first culling. If I would've known it was going to be like this I wouldn't have picked it up. If you want something with more substance, check out what Voyager's got going. Well, that's all I have for you today. Thanks for letting me waste your time, people.
Conception is on Crunchyroll.
Keep It Classy,
Evil Bob

Pi lists other famous shipwreck survivors, and says that he ended up surviving 227 days at sea. He says that keeping a busy routine was the key to his survival. He lists his daily chores and activities, which included feeding himself and Richard Parker, praying, and keeping his raft and equipment properly functioning. Pi also spends hours just observing Richard Parker. Pi soon gives up looking for ships on the horizon, and he comes to forget the passing of time, which he says helps him to survive. This makes all his memories blur together, however.
The longest surviving castaway (at the time of Life of Pi's publication) is Poon Lim, a Chinese sailor who lived on a raft for 133 days. The book's following chapters are brief episodes that break up the monotony of Pi's ordeal. Even though he has a routine of repetitive acts, Pi is still constantly on the verge of death, as there is no "routine" way of procuring food and water, even though he and the tiger must regularly eat and drink.

Jasmine absolute
Name: Jasmine absolute
Latin Name: Jasminum grandiflorum
Country of Origin (or Countries): India, Egypt, France, Italy
Chemical Families: Sesquiterpenes, Monoterpenols, Ketones, Esters
Botanical Family: Oleaceae
Plant Part Used: Flowers
Note: Middle base
Therapeutic Properties: Analgesic, Antibacterial, Antidepressant, Antispasmodic, Cicatrisant. (See descriptions of these terms and properties)
Safety Data or Cautions: Jasmine oil can produce allergenic reactions in people with fragrance sensitive dermatitis. According to the reference Essential Oil Safety, it is recommended that max dermal application be under 0.7%. With Jasmine oil a little bit goes a very long way so using 1 drop in a blend may be enough. This oil is expensive and often adulterated or synthetically made so it is important to buy from a reputable source.
Blends well with: Bergamot, Clary Sage, Balsam Copaiba, Coriander, Frankincense, Ginger, Petitgrain, Rose, Sandalwood, and I find many citrus also blend nicely such as Yuzu.
As you can see Jasmine has several therapeutic benefits, blends well with many other oils and can be useful for helping with depression, self confidence, tension and pain.
Perfume Blend
1 drop Jamine, 2 Yuzu, 1 drop Sandalwood in 30 ml of Jojoba and apply as perfume.

5 Steps to Cleaning Your Glasses (Lenses)
You should clean your glasses often as often as possible.
Neglecting your glasses can compromise your sight by creating a film on your lenses and making it harder to see clearly – and scratches and debris could give you headaches and make your eyes tired. But keep in mind there is no evidence to show that it will change the function of your eyes. That is your eyes will not get "worse".
Also, keep in mind that dirty glasses can also be a major turn off to other people looking at you and interacting with you in any way. Especially, if you are close to someones face they will be able to see all the dirt on your glasses – keep that in mind!
5 Steps to Cleaning Your Glasses (Lenses)
1. Before you begin wash your hands! There is nothing more annoying than trying to wash lenses while you have some oily substance on your fingers. It's really hard to get the oily film off the lenses so get it off your hands first.
2. Run warm water and NOT hot water on your lenses to loosen debris and dust from the lenses and the various crevices. Hot water can damage any of the coatings you have on your lenses
3. Put a little drop of soap (oil-free dishwashing liquid is perfect) on the lenses and gently lather and rub the lenses for a few seconds. Clean temples – the area that goes behind your ears and around the seams where the lenses fit into the frame –under running water. Especially around the nose pads – as this is where the oil (and dirt) from your skin tends to collect.
4. Rinse the soapy glasses with warm water – rinse well so that the lenses do appear filmy from the soap residue.
5. Dry the lenses gently with a clean, and soft 100% cotton cloth (works best for drying). Use a fabric that is light and thin – this will be less abrasive. Avoid the use of materials that can scratch the lenses in any way. This is true even if you have anti-scratch coating – which will offer the lenses extra protection but they will still scratch.
At times during the day, you feel the need to clean your lenses – try to use a very soft material that will not leave debris/fibers on the lenses. Microfiber cleaning cloths are perfect for this as they are able to trap debris and not smear them onto the lenses. But you will need to keep them clean.
In conclusion
Washing often and proper storage of your glasses when not in use will help keep your glasses clean as well as safe.
· It's also best not to use chemicals such as ammonia-based products like Windex as these can do harm to the various coatings you have on your lenses.
· Keeping your glasses in a protective case while you are not using them is the best way to safeguard them against scratches and general dirt.
· Never place the lens directly on a surface when not in use.
· Water is really your glasses best friend

Hard to Diagnose Problems
Rename the Client Printer in Terminal Services
In this article, I'll discuss how you can use a batch script to rename the client's redirected printer. This can effectively remove the client's session number from being appended to the end of the name of the printer.
•The script, which can be downloaded here or at the end of this article.
•Read Microsoft Knowledgebase Article 189105
•A terminal server that you have administrator access to. This script, currently, only works with Windows 2000.
For this tutorial, I'm going to step through the script to explain what happens.
Section 1: Headers:
Sleep 15
Basically, all I'm doing here is forcing the script to localize all these variables within this script.
Localizing the variables isn't absolutely necessary, but this helps to prevent variables from mixing up between your scripts, especially if you merge this script with other scripts.
The sleep utility (which is included in the script download) is there just to force the script to wait a little while during the initial logon sequence. Since the terminal server can take a few seconds to map the client printers, the pause is just there to make extra sure that the terminal server is done mapping printers. If the sleep command wasn't there, then we risk having this script run and terminate before the terminal server is completely done mapping printers.
If this script wasn't run during the logon, then the sleep command could be removed.
Section 2: Query the registry:
"%SystemRoot%\Application Compatibility Scripts\acregl.exe" DefPrint.cmd DefaultPrinter "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows" "Device" ""
If Not Exist DefPrint.cmd (Call :Error 1) && (Goto EoF)
call DefPrint.cmd
del DefPrint.cmd
If Not Defined DefaultPrinter (Call :Error 2) && (Goto EoF)
This command uses the built in AcRegl.exe command to query the registry for a particlar value. In this case, we are looking for the Device value at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows.
That value will be set to equal the variable DefaultPrinter in the rest of our script.
The first If statement checks to make sure the AcRegl.exe command executed properly, and the subsequent call and del commands set the DefaultPrinter variable.
If everything has gone right, the DefaultPrinter variable will equal something like: HP DeskJet 820CSe/ComputerName/Session 1,winspool,TS001. The last If statement checks to make sure that the DefaultPrinter variable was set correctly.
Section 3: Parse the DefaultPrinter variable:
for /f "tokens=1 delims=," %%i in ('"echo %DefaultPrinter%"') do set OldPrinterString=%%i
for /f "tokens=1 delims=/" %%j in ('"echo %DefaultPrinter%"') do set PrinterString=%%j
These two For commands parse the DefaultPrinter variable. The first For command obtains the printer name and session name, which will result in: HP DeskJet 820CSe/ComputerName/Session 1.
The second For command will then parse the DefaultPrinter variable further to obtain just the printer name, which will result in: HP DeskJet 820CSe.
Section 4: Change the name of the printer:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /Xs /n "%OldPrinterString%" printername "%PrinterString%"
This rundll32 command is the meat of the script. It utilizes the PrintUIEntry function of the printui.dll library to rename the printer. See Microsoft Knowledgebase Article 189105 for more information.
At this point, the printer has been renamed.
Section 5: Cleanup before we exit:
Goto EoF
msg %SessionName% /W Your printers were not successfully renamed. Please notify an administrator. (Error Code: %1)
Goto EoF
As the script exits, it terminates variable localization. As I said before, this isn't necessary, but it helps to keep things encapsulated.
The :Error portion of this script is only called when an error has occurred, like if the DefaultPrinter variable isn't set correctly. The Error codes just print out an error message to the user, along with an error code indicating where in the script the error occurred.
Well, that's about it. You've just finished a walkthrough tutorial for this script.
And...no tutorial would be complete without a download, so here is the script in its entirety (compressed):

For years now, women have risen to the challenges they face by living and working in a man's world. Although great strides in equality have been made in the past 50 years, there is still much to be done and women of every race and of every nationality need that extra bit of inspiration to motivate them to rise above these challenges that still remain.
Whether you are a nurse reluctant to take that next step from a BSN to DNP online course, or are simply looking to get a masters in nursing as a preliminary step, you can do whatever you set your mind on, if the inspiration to excel is there. Check out these four female celebs who went to college online.
They wanted something more than their celebrity status and saw attending college online as a great way to achieve their dreams. All it takes is a will to succeed and you will be in a better state of mind to check out online doctoral nursing programs.
1. Hunter Tylo
While many may not recognize the name off the bat, Hunter Tylo is best known for her roles on the Soaps such as the Bold and Beautiful, Days of Our Lives and All My Children. After years in the business since the 1980s, Hunter finally began pursuing an MBA in 2003.
2. Lisa Leslie
Lisa Leslie is a celeb of another kind. No, she is not an actress, singer, model or visible Hollywood star but she is the winner of 4 Gold Olympic Medals and a three time MVP of WMNA. Athletes of this caliber are also celebs in their own right and someone who works out and trains as much as Lisa should be highly proud of her degrees.
3. Marcia Cross
From starring in Quantum Leap to Knots Landing to Desperate Housewives, Marcia Cross is a highly talented and accomplished actress who now has a masters in psychology. Who would have believed that celebs this busy would have time to study but as Marcia shows, it can be done and you too can get that coveted nurse practitioner doctorate degree. Let Marcia be your inspiration.
4. Hillary Duff
From her home in Hollywood, California, this young movie star, singer/songwriter and model attended a New England university online. It had always been her dream to go to college and so she took that first step and even tweeted about how excited she was to finally get to pursue her dream of a college education.
Sometimes all it takes is looking at what other women have done to give you the inspiration you need. If you are thinking of furthering your nursing career, let these celebs be your guiding light. You, too, can go to graduate school and can attain literally any degree you set your heart on. Inspiration is the key and now that you have it, get up and get enrolled. There is no time like the present to advance your career.

Celebrate our Native identity, our relationship with our homelands, and living our Ways of Life.
Our identity as indigenous peoples is informed by our deep connection to our lands and waters, no matter where we live and no matter which indigenous cultures we are blessed to be part of. Our 2017 FAI Elder & Youth Conference theme "Part Land, Part Water – Always Native," recognizes that Alaska always was – and always will be – a Native place. The keynote speakers for the 34th Annual FAI Elders & Youth Conference live and work in that truth.
Elder Keynote
Dena'ina Athabascan Elder Clare Swan of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe was born and raised on the Kenai Peninsula. Clare has been married to her husband, Van, for 67 years, and they have four grown children, eleven grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
She has long worked to preserve and protect the Native fishing rights of the Kenaitze. Clare spent two decades immersed in research and litigation, culminating in the Kenaitze Indian Tribe receiving state regulations and rights on the eve of open fishing in June 1989. Clare also worked to establish the Cook Inlet Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse. She was Chair of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe from 1980 to 1995, and was instrumental in establishing the Dena'ina Health Clinic and youth and community agricultural programs. She served on the CIRI Board of Directors from 1991 to 2006, and the Board of Directors of Cook Inlet Tribal Council (CITC) starting in 1998, leading as Board Chair since 2000.
Her contributions to the Alaska Native community has long been appreciated and recognized. In 2009, Clare was honored with the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) President's Award for Elder of the Year, and she was inducted into the Alaska Women's Hall of Fame in 2011. CIRI presented her with the 2013 Shareholder of the Year Award for over 40 years of community work. This year, she was honored by CITC with the naming of the Clare Swan Early Head Start Child Care Center. She is a bundle of energy and a lighting force for our peoples. Clare's values are based in the strength of family, service to community, and the belief in achieving the greatest potential for our peoples.
Youth Keynote
Siberian Yupik youth Chris Agragiiq Apassingok is from Gambell, a village located on St. Lawrence Island. At 16 years old, he loves hunting, whaling and practices Siberian Yupik language every day. Chris is a student at Gambell School and loves playing basketball. Chris' parents are Susan and Daniel Apassingok. His paternal grandparents are Anders and late Luceen Apassingok, and maternal grandparents are Mike and Debbie Apatiki. Chris' grandfathers were successful whaling captains in their time as captains. His father, Daniel, landed three whales with Chris serving as a striker and co-captain.
Chris started hunting seals with his father as a toddler, and by the age of five he was on his dad's crew for walrus hunting and whaling. Chris struck and killed a whale at the age of 11 and struck another at the age of 16. In addition to whale and walrus, Chris hunts seals, birds, polar bear and reindeer. He brings food to his Elders and has great respect for them. In 2016 he was honored with the "Young Providers Award" by Bering Straits Native Corporation for contributing to the health and well-being of his community on a daily basis.
One morning, Chris had breakfast with his mom before going whaling and she advised, "Always pray while you're out there and God will hear you." Chris's response was, "Mom, I pray and ask God to finish my story of hunting every day."
Additional Conference Highlights
The annual Elders & Youth Conference is a one-of-a-kind convening that works to lift up the faces of our peoples while connecting youth to our Elders. We engage in critical dialogues on issues to amplify the voice of our Elders and our youth. Through presentations, discussions, and hands-on activities, we encourage positive change and cultural action within our Alaska Native community. We focus on building relationships, sharing and strengthening our knowledge, and celebrating who we are as culturally distinct, diverse and beautiful Alaska Native peoples.
The 34th annual statewide conference starts with a special Warming of the Hands Pre-session and Welcome Dinner. The next two days are filled with interactive, hands-on cultural workshop sessions to celebrate who we are as Native peoples and utilize that knowledge to enhance our engagement in all other offerings of the conference. Activities, such as weaving, beading, working on hides, making drums, and the like, promote and strengthen our ways of life through transference of knowledge between Elders and youth. Relevant community issues-based and content-themed workshops take place in leadership and education, culture, values and language, health, wellness and safety, and land, law and policy. Men's and Women's Houses honor our peoples' ways of sharing through dialogue, creating healing spaces, and utilizes our peoples' rites of passage knowledge.
Throughout our conference there are cultural performances, as well as an opportunity to showcase the talents of our participants during the 6th Annual Chin'an Night taking place on Monday, October 16th from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the Dena'ina Center. Tickets will be sold at registration and at the door for $5 a ticket. Chin'an is a public event. On Tuesday night, a special private event for our registered participants is a dance concert featuring A Tribe Called Red, an incredible First Nations DJ group made up DJ NDN, Bear Witness, and 2oolman – who use electronic music to blend instrumental hip hop, reggae, moombahton and dubstep-influenced dance music with elements of indigenous peoples' music, particularly vocal chanting and drumming. They also utilize their platform to advance a strength-based social justice message using their music, imagery, and Native dancing to create a thriving, dynamic sound that brings everyone to the dance floor.
We could not put on the conference without the love and support of our community, of our volunteers, and of our sponsors! We thank everyone for working with us in partnership to help bring the most important people in our community together – our Elders and our youth!
Broadcast and Webcast
Those not able to attend in person are invited to watch the conference live on GCI channel 1, 360North, and via our website: www.firstalaskans.org.

Fresh focus for Glaber
Glaber has the goal of delivering high-quality tractor mower attachments, custom-built for performance and endurance
New Zealand-designed and made Glaber has been established with the goal of delivering high-quality tractor mower attachments, custom-built for performance and endurance.
From its Hawke's Bay origins, Glaber has recently been acquired by Fieldmaster Ag, another well-known New Zealand agricultural manufacturer, which means Glaber will continue to be New Zealand-made.
With a focus on orchard mowers and municipal applications, Glaber's range features automatic belt tensioners, the use of V belts and zinc-sprayed metal protection, which provides a high level of rust protection.
Thick cutting discs make short work of summer's most aggressive growth. Top-of-the-range Italian gearboxes are sourced for use, in keeping with Glaber's requirement of componentry that meets its high standards.
New to the market is the Uppercut 2700, a durable topping or hay mower and the efficient Greenkeeper 2700 to give schools and park-style lawns an immaculate finish.

10,000 hours - as told by jazz musicians
In a 1993 paper by Anders Ericsson, he was one of the first to make the claim that mastery of a skill took around 10 years (about 10,000 hours) of deliberate practice.
In most domains of expertise, individuals begin in their childhood a regimen of effortful activities (deliberate practice) designed to optimize improvement. Individual differences, even among elite performers, are closely related to assessed amounts of deliberate practice. Many characteristics once believed to reflect innate talent are actually the result of intense practice extended for a minimum of 10 years. http://projects.ict.usc.edu/itw/gel/EricssonDeliberatePracticePR93.PDF
Whilst most people reading this will probably be fellow computer programmers clicking around from my other posts, I'm also a jazz guitar nut and have been for some time. I thought it would be fun to look at quotes from jazz players to see what they can tell us about getting better at something.
Whilst lots of people subscribe to the "talent" theory of development, that dream for me died a long time ago. Instead I feel like the stories of excellence (particularly in jazz) almost always have these common themes:
- starting young
- taking lessons with a good teacher early in their development
- some period of intense practice, especially for those with great chops (technique)
- lots and lots and lots of gigs
Let's see some quotes to back that up!
Joe Pass
Was guitar playing easy for you in the beginning?
I guess it came sort of easy for me; I have certain difficulties, not a lot. But you've got to remember that I grew up playing the guitar. I started when I was nine, and by the time I was nine and a half or ten, I was doing seven or eight hours' practice every day. I did two hours' practice at six o'clock in the morning before I went to school, and another two hours as soon as I got home from school in the afternoon. Then I did four hours at night before I went to bed.
I did that until I was fourteen or fifteen. I didn't like it - I hated it, but my father was very firm about it; he saw a little something happening, so he figured he'd just push. I don't remember too much how I felt about it except that I'd rather be outside playing ball and things. I never could ride a bike, like even today I can't do these things. Joe Pass Interview Guitar Magazine in June 1974
8 hours a day for five years, all before the age of 15!
But one wouldn't recognise any resemblance between your playing and Django's,
Well I never copied him. I don't remember that I copied any guitar player note-for-note. But I remember copying Charlie Parker note for note.
I've transcribed one Charlie Parker solo for guitar, and that stuff is hard!
George Benson
I'm writing this in 2014, a year that, professionally speaking, was pretty much the same as 2004, which was pretty much the same as 1994, and so on all the way back till the 1950s. And I don't mean that in a bad way - it's more about the magic of consistency. See, I'm a creature of (jazz) habit: I practice every day, I gig a lot, and I record almost every year. I keep going.
From "Benson: The Autobiography"
I also remember reading a quote in a YouTube comment, possibly on a Jack McDuff video, (so sad that folk histories are locked up in there, mixed in with vile trolling etc. completely unsearchable) that someone had a friend who knew Benson in the early days. They claimed that he could sing around 20 (or 21 or 22, can't remember exactly) Charlie Parker solos from memory when he was around 18.
Charlie Parker
I put quite a bit of study into the horn (saxophone), that's true. In fact, the neighbours threatened to ask my mother to move once… She said I was driving them crazy with the horn. I used to put in at least 11 to 15 hours a day.
As quoted in Chasin' the Bird: The Life and Legacy of Charlie Parker
He was around 15 at the time as far as I can tell. The same book describes him learning Lester Young solos note-for-note.
Pat Metheny
and of course, you HAVE to practice like crazy. during the years between when i was 13 til 19, i would guess i averaged around 10 to 12 hours a day with the guitar in my hands or sitting at the piano studying harmony.
That's enough for now but I'll add more here as I find them.

The Directors of Kingston have a combined Corporate and Investment Banking experience in excess of 50 years. Below are examples of some of the innovative transactions which they have undertaken before; viz:
Part of a Core Team which put together a complex structured finance programme for enabling a regional African Bank raise US$ 500 million in the United States money markets through the issuance of commercial paper and using the proceeds for export finance. The programme was signed and rated in the United States where it achieved a rating of A – 1+ from Standard and Poor and F – 1+ from Fitch Investor Service, which are the highest possible ratings for such a programme. The structure involved a Delaware Corporation, whose sole purpose was to issue commercial paper and using the proceeds to purchase certain loans made by the Bank. This led to freeing up of limited capital resources of the Bank which were now used on lending activities which could not be funded through the commercial paper programme. Goldman Sachs Money Markets and Merrill Lynch Money Markets were the commercial paper dealers while Bankers Trust Company was the issuing and paying agent. Through the above highly innovative and structured programme, the Regional Bank became the first wholly African owned institution, to tap resources from the United States money markets.
Structured and put up the first Gold Loan for an African gold mining company outside South Africa.
A unique feature about gold loans is that they are relatively cheaper than Euro-Dollar loans, given the fact that gold inter-bank rates are worked out by subtracting the Gold Forward Rate (GOFO) from the corresponding London Inter Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Gold loans also provide a readily available hedging mechanism for a gold mining company.
Structured the credit enhancement mechanism that enabled a syndicate of banks in an African country, put together a US$ 50 million long term facility to support the rehabilitation of the country's International Airport in time for the Commonwealth Heads of State and Government (CHOGM) meeting, which the country in question hosted. The structure enabled the syndicated loan to have repayments locked in by way of assigning IATA receivables due from reputable and strong airlines flying into the airport, to the syndicate of banks through the Collateral Agent. The IATA receivables covered over-flight, landing and parking fees, which airlines pay to the Civil Aviation Authority of the country for use of the Airport as well as the airspace.
Concluded a US$ 50 million remittances backed structured long term loan from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) of the United States of America on behalf of an African Bank for on – lending to small and medium scale enterprises. The loan was structured in such a way that its repayment was linked to remittances home by Nationals in the Diaspora. The Bank in question was the most popular for home remittances by the Diaspora. This was at that time, the largest single US investment in that country, and the most innovative transaction, and won an award from the Banker Magazine.
Arranged financing for the construction of a 5 Star hotel, through debt for debt and debt for equity swaps structure, involving pipelined Russian debt. The structure involved sourcing Russian debt from holders at a steep discount, using funds from Senior Lenders and Shareholders and redeeming the debt from the Central Bank in local currency at prevailing exchange rates, and thus experiencing massive gains arising from currency depreciation over time. The redeemed local currency was then used to fund the hotel as Senior Debt and Shareholders Equity Contribution respectively.
Structured Africa's first Debt for Nature Swap arrangement which involved buying pipelined debt at a steep discount from foreign holders with the proceeds redeemed at the Central Bank in local currency at prevailing rates. These proceeds were donated to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for its conservation activities in selected National Parks.
Part of a Steering Committee which was formed to lay the groundwork for the establishment of a secondary mortgage market (through trading of mortgage backed securities) in a certain African country. This was an initiative of the Treasury Department of the United States of America and the Country's Central Bank, aimed at among others, creating liquidity for mortgage financing as a way of responding to the huge demand for decent housing.
Originated and structured a US$ 250 million pre-shipment commodity and contracts linked 5 year syndicated financing transaction for a mining house which at that time was the largest producer of copper and cobalt in Africa. The transaction, which at that time was the largest of its kind, and was voted African Trade Finance Deal of the Year by Euromoney Magazine, also involved an innovative swap of put and call options (collar) on the international prices of copper and cobalt.
Part of the Steering Committees that laid the groundwork for the establishment of securities exchanges in two African countries, with funding from the International Finance Corporation. The two markets are now fully fledges with both listed and quoted securities as well as cross-listings.

Benefits of Equine Icing or Cold Therapy
Equine physiotherapist, Tom Simpson explains the performance and recovery benefits of equine cold therapy.
Equine Cold Therapy Is A Trusted Post Exercise Recovery Treatment
Exercise induced trauma can produce localised inflammation, micro-trauma and micro-tears to the muscles of your performance horse. This causes pain, restriction in range of motion and weakness.
Cold therapy or icing is a non-invasive and non-medicinal approach used to minimise post exercise trauma. Ice is applied to the horse's spine, back and other muscles and joints. Icing has proven to promote recovery after exercise or injury, as well as working to reduce the horse's heart rate and core temperature.
There are some myths and a variety of opinions on the best way to treat horses post event or training. These include:
- A fear that deploy icing would reduce blood flow and actually slow the speed of healing.
- A lack of information about how safe and effective cold therapy actually is.
The Facts About Equine Cold Therapy or Icing
The facts are that icing or cold therapy is a trusted, non-invasive, non-medicinal treatment that has been shown to improve post exercise recovery on your horse. That's why it's used by elite athletes and sports teams around the world.
- Icing constricts the blood vessels: this temporarily decreases the local supply of blood flow to help to reduce swelling, inflammation, pain, and muscle spasm.
- Icing also lowers cell metabolism: this helps to prevent tissue death, which ensures that any subsequent tissue loading that occurs is pain free reducing the risk of injury.
- Icing initiates the part of the nervous system responsible for rest and digestion: after sub-maximal and maximal exertion, cryotherapy helps the horse get back to resting heart rate levels faster than not icing. This is crucial for recovery, especially when you need your horse to perform repeated sets of exercise.
When you use cold therapy post event or training, horses under your care will recover better and faster so they will be able to train better and harder leading into important events.
Far more effective in getting heart rates down
At Dial Range Endurance Arabians, have been using the ice packs to successfully lower the hearts rates in competition on our horses. We find the Equi-Ice ice packs easy to use, and no trouble to fill up or empty and clean. After coming in at the end of a loop, we immediately put the ice pack on the back and neck of horse. This results in a very quick drop in horses heart rates. Because the ice is held within the pack there is no worry about the ice directly on the horses skin.
We believe that the ice pack is far more effective in getting heart rates down, than just using cold water on the horse.
Horses love it and it's effective
I have always been interested in the anatomy and physiology of horses and as a sportsman I know how crucial physiotherapy is in my stable. Tom has spoken to me about his product Equi-Ice for many years and I have seen the product develop over that time.
Equi-Ice is now one of the most important pieces of equipment in my stable for recovery and management of acute back pain. It's quick to set up, horses love it, and best of all it's effective.
Equi-Ice is part of our daily routine
I absolutely love Equi-ice! This fantastic product now plays a key role in my stable, and Paul and I have had huge success with it. You can see the relief on the horses when it is applied, and as a horseman, I love the fact they stand there and enjoy every minute of it.
Equi-Ice has now become part of our daily routine and I suggest it should be part of yours.
Plays a key part in recovery and performance
When Tom first introduced to me the idea of Equi-Ice I could not wait to see the results and I have not been disappointed. Daily management of these equine athletes is essential and this fantastic icing product now plays a key part in recovery and performance in my Godolphin stables.
I see the benefit on and off the track and I think if you are serious about equine welfare and performance you need an Equi-Ice ice pack!

如何界定垄市场以及垄断的特点--留学生Marketing essay代写范文
2017-03-02 来源: 51Due教员组 类别: Essay范文
垄断的定义——Definition of Monopoly
For examples in monopoly market are electricity, water service, cable television, local telephone services and many more. If we are using water service that only can go to is Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd, so Indah water Konsortium Sdn Bhd is a monopoly because only the place to giving to subscribe the home water service. Another hands, monopoly is a market containing a single firm, in such instances where a single firm holds monopoly power, so the company will typically be forced to divest its assets. Antimonopoly regulation protects free markets from being dominated by a single entity. So for another example of monopoly that is the TNB (Tenaga National Berhad) Sdn Bhn, this is a only company to develop, operate and maintain TNB's portfolio of power generating units and provide the electric service to us. That is also the only place provide the electric to us so we are just only to subscribing this company for our home electric service.
垄断市场的特征——Characteristics of Monopoly Market
First of the characteristic is that one seller and large number of buyers, this is the monopoly enterprise existence when there is only one seller of a product and it is only the firm that in the industry selling a product which has no close substitution. Monopoly market is the place where the monopoly enterprise operates so basically there are no different between a firm and an industry in monopoly as there only one seller. A monopolist is a price maker since there is one seller or producer and it has the market power to control over the price.
Second is no close substitution. No close substitution that is monopoly enterprise would like to sell a product which has no close substitute. It's the consumers and buyers could not find any substitute for the product. For example, water supply from local public utility which has no close substitution, but if the buyer can find any substitution of water service so that is no more in monopoly.
Thirdly is the restriction of entry of new firms. It is in a monopoly market, there are strict barriers to the entry of new firm. The barriers to entry are natural or legal restrictions that restrict the entry of new firms into the industry. A monopolist faces no competition because of barriers of entry. Example for the barriers to entry, that's limit pricing, firms may adopt predatory pricing policies by lowering prices to a level that would force any new entrants to operate at a loss.
Fourthly is advertising, it is advertising in monopoly market depends on the products sold. That is to developing consumer loyalty by establishing branded products can make successful entry into the market by new firms much more expensive and this is also particularly important in markets such as cosmetics, confectionery and the motor car industry. For the local public unities such as home phone service, water service and electricity don't need to make advertisement by the monopolist since the consumers know from where to obtain the product.
垄断的类型——Types of Monopolies
Natural MonopolyNatural monopoly is a one firm can produce at a lower cost compared to what two or more firms could produce or it is the lower due to economies of scale if there is just a single producer than if there are several competing producers. For examples, a bigger plant in the generation electricity can supply electric power with lower cost compared to a few firms.
Government-Created Monopolies
This section is to look into the government-created monopolies, government created have many monopolies. This is to prevent firms from entering business into a market. This can be done through difficulty in obtaining license to operate in the market or providing patent and copyrights to a monopoly firm. Government franchise, government license, patent, copyright and control over raw material are the some legal barriers for a business.
Government franchise, in most of the countries, the government grants monopoly rights to privates companies to operate public utilities such as water supply, postal services, railway services, cable TV services and many more. Government franchise grants exclusive rights to a firm to sell certain goods and install in a certain area. For example, government had giving the right to install cable television system to Astro in Malaysia.
Government License, in basically enterprise is needs to obtain a license to operate any kind of business in the market. Government license controls the entry of s firm into a market and it is make the earlier firm as a monopoly firm. To obtaining a license in a monopoly market is much if difficult compared to the others market structures.
Patent, A patent is a grant issued by the government to the owner of an invention which gives him exclusive rights over the invention for a limited period of time or it is an exclusive right to the production of an innovation product. To the firms or individuals for their discoveries and invention are given by a patent. For example, invention of genetically modified organism (GMO) in rice can yield more production, because GMO having the patent to the inventor to commercialize its products. Thus, for the normally limit time period of the patent is takes about 20 years and after that the monopoly power over the product will expire.
Copyright, it is enacted by most government, is an exclusive right given to the author of a composer of a music or producer of a movie or artistic work and book. For example, the copyright this book belongs to Oxford-Fajar Snd Bhd and no other publisher or individual can copy this book or print this book without permission from Oxford-Fajar Sdn Bhd. The Oxford-Fajar has the right to sue the people who to prints out the book without permission.
Control over raw material, in which a firm can be bigger portion of natural resources and within a monopoly status can also be maintained through control over supply of raw material.
QmThe diagram of Monopoly
A Monopolist is a price maker because he does not face any competitors. Therefore demand is price inelastic.
A monopolist will seek to maximize profits by setting output where MR = MC
This will be at output Qm and Price Pm.
If the market was competitive the price would be lower and output higher.
Question 2
In this question 2, I'm goingto differentiate the features of perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly. Understand the term of market place where the buyers and sellers meet and transactions of goods and service take place. After that we have to giving the examples characteristics. Further onwards, I'm looking into the meant by perfect competition and how a perfect competitive firm or enterprise determines its equilibrium in short and long run.
Perfect Competition and Monopolistic Competition
Definition of Perfect Competition
Perfect Competition is a market in which there are many buyers and sellers, the products are homogeneous, and sellers can easily enter and exit from the market. All the firms sell an identical product, price takers and have a relatively small market share, buyers know the nature of the product being sold and the prices charged by each firm, the industry is characterized by freedom of entry and exit. For example, in a perfectly competitive market, should have a single firm decide to increase its selling price of a good so that the consumers can just turn to the nearest competitor for a better price.
Definition of Monopolistic Competition
A market structure in which there are large numbers of small sellers selling differentiated products but these are close substitute products and have easy entry into and exit from the market. Many products in the world represent monopolistic competition such as books, apparel, shoes, chocolates, toothpaste and many more.
Similarities of Perfect Competition and Monopolistic Competition
Perfect competition and Monopolistic competition are having the most of same characteristic.
Firm in both market are large in number and there exists freedom of entry and exit in the perfect competition and monopolistic competition market. And the firm maximizes profit when MR and MC. Thus, in long run, perfect competitive and monopolistic competitive firms earn only the normal profit, in short run the both are may earn normal profit or incur losses.
Differences between Perfect Competition and Monopolistic Competition
In the market of perfect competition, the forces of demand and supply for the entire industry determined prices. For example, in a perfectly competitive market, should a single firm decide to increase its selling price of a good, the consumers can just turn to the nearest competitor for a better price, causing any firm that increases its prices to lose market share and profits. For the monopolistic competition market, each firm has its own price policy. A perfect competition firms sell homogenous or standardized product but monopolistic competition firms sell differentiated products. Selling cost occurs only in monopolistic competition because of the product differentiation. A perfect competitive firm's demand curve is perfectly elastic and MR curve is equal to average revenue curve. But in monopolistic competitive firm, the demand curve is downward sloping and MR curve is also downward sloping, in which lies below the average revenue curve.
Monopoly and Oligopoly
Definition of Monopoly
Monopoly is a market structure in which there is a single seller and large number of buyers and selling products or can say it is a situation in which a single company or group owns all or nearly all of the market for a given type of product or service, so by the definition that have no close substitution and have a high entry and exit barrier. For examples in monopoly market are electricity, water service, cable television, local telephone services and many more.
Definition of Oligopoly
There are the only a few firms that make up an industry. This select group of firms has control over the price and oligopoly has high barriers to entry. And the products that are the oligopolistic firms produce are often nearly identical and, thus, the companies, in which are competing for market share, are interdependent as a result of market forces.
Differences between Monopoly and Oligopoly
Oligopoly is a market structure containing a small number of relatively large firms that often produce slightly differentiated output and with significant barriers to entry. For example, that is steel industry, aluminum, film, television, cell phone, gas and the Microsoft was once one of several oligopoly software companies. Monopoly is a market structure containing a single firm that produces a good with no close substitutes and with significant barriers to entry. While it might seem as though the difference between oligopoly and monopoly is clear cut, such is not always the case.
Differences Monopoly, Oligopoly and Perfect Competition and Monopolistic Competition
Monopoly and oligopoly there are opposite with perfect competition and monopolistic competition. For the perfect competition and monopolistic is characterized by many buyers and sellers, many products that are similar in nature and as a result, many substitutes. Perfect competition and monopolistic competition means there are few, if any, barriers to entry for new companies, and prices are determined by supply and demand. Therefore, producers in a perfectly competitive or in a monopolistic competitive market are subject to the prices determined by the market and do not have any leverage. For example to the market of monopolistic competitive and perfectly competitive, should a single firm decide to increase its selling price of a good, the consumers can just turn to the nearest competitor for a better price, causing any firm that increases its prices to lose market share and profits.

Onto more interesting things. I made a tag incorporating leaves and a pumpkin which seems to be a favourite challenge theme at the moment on many blogs. Sadly, I missed one of the challenges I was going to enter it into so, one down and two to go! I used the word 'Fall' rather than the usual 'Autumn' (for a Brit!) but four letters are much easier to deal with don't you think?!!
I've been using my TAP paper again. Stamping with distress onto the paper and ironing it onto fabric is fun but why did I choose to do leaves?? It took me forever to stamp them, cut them out, add more colour, stitch them, add wire to the back and shape them! Are you still awake after that list? Never mind, it kept me busy and out of trouble!
Here's my tag and I'm going to enter it at the following challenges:
Try It On A Tuesday - Lots Of Layers
Simon Says Stamp & Show - Leaf-Spiration
|The light was very dim today and this really was the best I could do. The shimmer in the background is barely visible I'm afraid (yes, I've been playing with the metallic distress stain again and perhaps, just perhaps, I'm starting to like them!).
|This is what the leaves look like before they are cut out and 'modified'. The leaves here were only stamped with two colours of distress - I used more than one colour on most of the leaves for my tag.
|Rusty, metallic pumpkin with some green wire tendrills. I wanted some rusty wire but that was a step too far for my skills! Some grunge paper twigs can be seen rising up behind the leaves. These were die cut and inked.
|A little metallic lace was added at the bottom - the colour matches the metallic distress stain and I think it links in quite nicely with the background pattern.
Further views of the leaves with stitching and variegated colour.
Hope you enjoyed following this post - I know there's always lots of words and pictures but I don't seem to be able to do a post any other way! Thanks for sticking with it.

*UPDATE: See the new gallery of photos below!* Last Friday December 9th, Altos de Chavón was alive with friends and families awaiting the very anticipated Christmas Lighting Ceremony that officially opens Casa de Campo's merry holiday season! Mr. Andrés Pichardo, Casa de Campo Resort's new president, and Mr. Carlos Santos Durán, Vice Minister of Institutional Development of the Ministry of Culture Dominican Republic, led the event.
The magical evening started with the arrival of Santa Claus who greeted Casa de Campo little ones with a hearty 'HO HO HO' in his very own Santa house! This year, the amphitheater team, in charge of all the decorations, really outdid themselves. Candy canes and waterfall Christmas lights lined the staircase that led to Santa's house, and a beautiful front porch was constructed for kids to take funny pictures with the elves or even Santa himself. Inside, the jolly Santa Claus and his elves received Christmas wish-lists and good-hearted children who sat for photos atop Santa's lap in his well-decorated workshop. We saw many happy faces from children, and even adults, who played and ran around the snowy setting.
As night fell, the Chavón Plaza buzzed with holiday cheer with more than 400 members from the Casa de Campo and La Romana communities. Acting as the Mistress of Ceremonies was one of Casa de Campo's own, Renata Soñé, otherwise known as Miss Dominican Republic 2005 and runner-up of Miss Universe. After welcoming the many guests, Renata turned the stage over to Father Victor García who blessed the event, and was followed by Mr. Andrés Pichardo and Mr. Carlos Santos Durán, who both gave a few words of appreciation and excitement for the holiday season.
Renata invited all the kids to the stage to join them for the countdown…10,9,8,7….2,1, and suddenly Altos de Chavón became alit with lights, from pathways to rooftops, including covering the 25 foot tall Christmas tree! Christmas 2016 in Casa de Campo had formally begun!
The National Youth Symphonic Orchestra, directed by Maestro Alberto Rincon, and the Koribe Choir, directed by Prof. Nadia Nicola were magnificent in their performance. Popular songs included: "Noche de Paz", "Linda Quisqueya", and "El Tamborilero" by the orchestra, and "Con mi burrito sabanero" and "Volvio Juanita" sung acapella by the Koribe Choir. The musical treat was a lovely end to the lighting ceremony, and thanks in part to the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Dominican Republic.
The holiday schedule in Altos de Chavón continues TODAY with a Maracas Workshop for the kids at the Regional Museum of Archeology, followed by popular Dominican Christmas carols – so don't forget to bring your güira and tambora! Tomorrow, remember that The Gallery will host the opening cocktail for the art exhibition, "Extrasensorial" by Carlos Montesino; and the party continues on Friday with Fiesta on the Rocks with Benny and the Cupids!
Santa will visit again so have your kids write their Christmas letters and deliver it to Santa's house! View the video below of this year's Lighting Ceremony, posted on Altos de Chavón's Facebook page, and click the link at the bottom of the page to for the complete holiday calendar of events.
The following photos were taken by Mariana Heredia during the Christmas Lighting Ceremony on Friday, December 9th in Altos de Chavón:

The festive season is closer than ever! The complete Christmas Holiday Calendar is here!
This Christmas, Altos de Chavón is the place to celebrate! With the official inauguration of the merry season with the Christmas Lighting Ceremony on Friday, December 9th, we thought it would be helpful to bring you the FULL schedule of holiday events coming your way. We hope to see you all here, and encourage you to have a look at the video below to put a smile on your face and spread the holly, jolly cheer. Read more.

The 8 step narrative improv format is a suggested structure of how your scenes can be laid out. Listen to our podcast with Tim Mahoney to learn more, but here is a rough outline of how each of the 8 scenes would unfold:
- Once upon a time……there was a girl named Dorinda who always wanted to become a professional hair braider.
- And every day….she would braid her sister's hair.
- Until one day…. she discovered Supercuts.
- And because of that….she applied for the hair-braider-in-training job at Supercuts
- And because of that….she climbed her way up the hair braiding ladder until she became lead hair braider.
- And because of that….she became President of National Hair Braiders of America
- Until one day (heading toward a resolution)….there was a hair braiding scandal that became a tangled mess.
- And ever since that day……Dorinda has focused her efforts on becoming a french twist extraordinaire!

By Max Saltman
Executive Staff
Mark Twain once wrote that "history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes." I thought about that as I read Gerald Smith and Sean T. Suarez's 2008 article "The Loveliest Village" on town-gown relations in early Sewanee, published in Sewanee Perspectives.
Smith and Suarez describe how the University founders chose this spot in part due to the Cumberland Plateau's reputation as a summer refuge from yellow fever and malaria. Classes extended far into the summer as the sons of the Southern upper class made their way up the Mountain to escape the sweltering heat and epidemics of the cities. Sewanee was a "towered city set within a wood" where the wealthy scions of the Southeast could learn and live far from illness's reach.
Sound familiar?
Indeed, Sewanee has strived to #ProtectTheBubble since it was a twinkle in Leonidas Polk's eye. The perceived need to safeguard the University from scary outside forces is even enshrined in a particularly shocking passage from our charter. Section Ten reads in part that the University may acquire land in order to protect students and Sewanee as a whole from "evil-minded persons who may settle near said Institution."
To people like Allen Doyle (T'20), the notion that Sewanee is a "bubble" reeks of the same classism and elitism that would classify local people as "evil-minded." Doyle grew up an hour away from Sewanee, in Shelbyville, but worked in Tracy City as a seminarian before graduating last year. Last week, he wrote a post on Facebook deeming the #ProtectTheBubble campaign "the same approach [Sewanee] has used for 150 years to ignore everyone else that calls the Mountain home." Intrigued, I reached out to him to hear more.
"It's perpetuating a myth," Doyle said of the slogan. "Sewanee's not a bubble. Sewanee's campus is a destination for tourists and travelers from the region. People are always coming to campus. The majority of staff persons don't live in the bubble and come from a community that might not take COVID-19 as seriously."
When I asked whether the phrase could be viewed purely by its intentions, Doyle agreed, but clarified that he sees it as a kind of "doubling down" on the myth that Sewanee somehow exists entirely outside of its surroundings.
"By using the phrase 'Sewanee Bubble' in particular," he said, "Instead of 'stay safe, Sewanee' or something else less confrontational, it just further draws this division that once you step on this campus, you're safe. You don't have to worry about ignorant people anymore. You don't have to worry about poor people anymore."
Reading deeper into the history of the University's relationship with local people, it becomes more and more clear how viewing Sewanee as a bubble is abrasive and combative. Sewanee's founders viewed the establishment of the University as a kind of civilizing mission and godlike act of creation, set apart from the people who lived here first.
"We are the first," insisted South Carolina politician John Preston at Sewanee's first founding in 1860. "We are primeval here. Our only calendar is the annulation of the oak. Our only history is the bud."
Smith and Suarez note the irony of Preston's speech, considering he spoke to a crowd of which several hundred were locals who had lived on the Mountain their entire lives. Not to mention that these people were themselves descended from settlers who ousted native peoples from the region a generation before. By no means were we "the first."
Yet Preston's statement that this land exists as a kind of tabula rasa for the University's designs persists in the idea of the Sewanee Bubble, an imaginary alternate dimension sequestered from the wider world and the "evil-minded" people therein. By thinking of ourselves as part of a "bubble," we openly ignore the people who live alongside us and upon whom we rely for much of our labor and land. Though we might invoke it to spread a valuable lesson, the illusion of the bubble remains a classist fantasy that excludes more than it protects. But, recognizing that the intentions of the campaign are pure, I end here on Allen Doyle's alternative phrase:
Stay safe, Sewanee.
