Though the next growing season may seem far away, our area is still turning out plenty of local goods. Top on the list is local meat, the focus of ASAP's December Get Local initiative, a project that puts the spotlight on an different seasonal and local product every month.
In the past year, our local-meat landscape has gone through a number of big changes. One of the most notable is the availability of veal and the quiet effort to change people's notions of what producing it entails. Alan Lang and Clint and Thomas Shepherd, who own and operate Headwaters Cattle Farm and Headwaters of Poverty Farm, respectively, are the only local producers selling veal directly to area retailers. They sold their first product to a regional chef this January, and have since been selling to several other Appalachian Grown partner restaurants. Local meat retailer, The Chop Shop Butchery, has also started carrying Headwaters' veal (read more about the Chop Shop in the sidebar).
Alan Lang (Uncle Alan to brothers Clint and Thomas) has raised cattle on the family's 300-acre Barnardsville farm since the 1970s. Then-teenagers Clint and Thomas helped their uncle with feeding, vaccinations and other farm chores. About two years ago, in response to area chefs' ever-growing demand for local food, Clint and Thomas borrowed on that farming experience and started their own enterprise. The duo now raise chickens and ducks for eggs and meat as well as Cornish game hens, heritage turkeys and other poultry at Headwaters of Poverty Farm, named for its location at the source of Poverty Branch waterway.
At the same time, they began thinking of ways Uncle Alan could expand his cattle operation into other areas of revenue. They've helped to make local veal become a reality in our region and continue to work for their uncle by handling marketing and delivery of the product — a product different than what may come to mind when you first hear the term "veal."
"We refer to our veal as 'French beef' because of the breed's origin and because of how they are raised," says Lang. The breed he's referring to is Limousin, a nearly 1,000 year-old French breed known for lean, high-quality meat. The cattle are raised according to a strict set of agricultural standards and quality requirements; Headwaters' herd is raised without hormones, growth stimulants or antibiotics. The young Limousin run freely with the herd and grow fed on cow's milk, mountain pastures and spring-fed water.
These standards appeal to downtown restaurant Table's owner Jacob Sessoms, who goes out of his way to purchase pasture-raised, not caged, veal. Until recently, that veal had to travel a great distance from a cooperative in Canada. Sessoms is delighted to have a local source, he says. "Offering local veal follows our food philosophy much more closely," he says. When available from Headwaters, he and his team purchase a half animal, break it down and use nearly every bit. Veal dishes may include steaks or braised short ribs. The chefs have grilled heart — which is surprisingly mild and tender — and served it up with house-made kimchi and Asian pears. They've even made veal hot dogs.
The chefs of The Admiral in West Asheville have also gotten creative with Headwaters' local veal this year, taking a global approach. They've created a veal Milanese, a traditional Italian breaded meat dish; a veal schnitzel with spaetzle, a traditional Austrian breaded meat dish; and spiced it up with Mexican flavors and garnishes like avocado.
Lang and the Shepherd brothers plan to continue offering veal to area restaurants this winter, as well as to the Chop Shop. Both Table and the Admiral expect to incorporate the veal into their menus through the cooler months. (Because both restaurants' menus change daily, they were not sure as of press time when or in what preparation.)
Of course, area Appalachian Grown partner restaurants will be serving up many other types of local meat this month, too. Look for everything from local pork to chicken and rabbit to lamb.
Where can you find local veal?
Dining out:
This year, in addition to Table and the Admiral, Headwaters Cattle Farm has offered veal to chefs at Bouchon, Fiore's Ristorante Toscana, Cucina 24, the Market Place, Fig Bistro and Posana Café, as well as to Miller Union in Atlanta, Ga. Keep an eye on the constantly changing menus of these local food-supporting restaurants.
Dining in:
You can purchase Headwaters' veal at The Chop Shop Butchery, Asheville's first whole-animal butcher shop, which carries almost all local, Appalachian Grown-certified meats from farms committed to sustainable, humane and all-natural practices. The shop, which opened this fall, represents another big change on the local-meat landscape. There, you can find products from Apple Brandy Beef, Three Arrows Farm and Cattle Company, Foothills Family Farms, Bluebird Farm, Which Came First Farm, Busy Bee Farms and East Fork Farm.
Also find Headwaters' duck eggs by the half-dozen at The Chop Shop, as well as the French Broad Food Co-op and Creperie Bouchon.

Thomas can be reached at 626-2795 or email@example.com. Also find Table, the Admiral and other Appalachian Grown restaurants in the online Local Food Guide.

It was a busy but fun weekend! This pic pretty much sums it up…
Middle pic – It started off on Friday night when Hyedi and I headed to Heavy Table's North Coast Nosh – an event where you get to taste some yummy food and drink from local purveyors. It was hosted at Open Arms Minnesota and a portion of the proceeds went to them. Just to name a few: cheese from Faribault Dairy, jerk chicken from Homegrown foods, BBQ sauce from Triple Crown BBQ Sauce, ice cream from Sweet Science, ice pops from Saint Pops, beer from Tin Whiskers and Badger Hill. And I tried my first ceviche that was made in the Open Arms kitchen – delicious!
Bottom right pic – I got up on Saturday morning and headed to exchange 35 of Ragnar Relay Great River to volunteer. I ran Ragnar last year (and had a great time!), but decided to take this year off. I enjoyed volunteering, and hope that I can make it more of a habit to volunteer for a couple races each year. It's easy to forget that the races we do wouldn't be possible without volunteers!
Top right pic – Birthday drinks (not mine) at Rabbit Hole!
Top left pic – I got up to drive my sister to a 5K in downtown Minneapolis. While I waited for her to finish, I headed over to the Minneapolis Farmer's Market to get some veggies. Picked up some colorful peppers, zucchini, and a bag of jalapeno, bacon, cheddar popcorn (couldn't resist). Can officially cross that item off my summer bucket list!
Bottom left pic – My sister and I headed to the Twins game. It was supposed to start at 1 p.m. but they had a 40 minute "weather delay" even though it wasn't raining. They finally started the game, but it wasn't long until the rain actually did move in. We stuck around through about 4 innings (taking cover from the rain once) and then the game went into a rain delay. We decided to head out at that point. Oh well, we tried.
In running news, I haven't been doing much lately. My shin has still been giving me some issues. But, I did hop on the treadmill for a 20 minute run on Sunday and felt pretty good. It was a nice evening on Monday, so I ventured out to the trail and tested things out again. I made it for 2.4 miles with no pain! Felt a little soreness afterwards, so I guess it's not totally better. Gonna have to keep an eye on it, but I have to say it felt sooooo good to run again! I've missed that runner's high.
How was your weekend?

Archaeological finds in the forest
At the beginning of July in the taiga happened unusual natural phenomenon. Forty kilometers from the town of Vyazma, near the river Podkhorenok, in the forest was felled a few hectares of forest, as if someone swung a huge Mace on the ground, breaking, twisting with the root of ancient trees. As explained in the far Eastern regional emergency center of Russia, only the tornado is capable of that. The wind force was so incredible, and the emergence for these latitudes siphon so strange and rare that many researchers were already going to the place of the epicenter and find out what brought about the winds of change…However, the scientist-researcher Mikhail Efimenko's ahead of the curve. He had just returned from an expedition and hastened to the editor to share their discoveries and show the finds. Some of their artifacts he found in the garden of a local resident of the village Sheremetyevo Vyazemsky district, which he gathered in the woods and put on display for the kids.
— So far the village Sheremetyevo to historians was of interest only as one of the cultural monuments of the Neolithic period — Neolithic, — says Mikhail Efimenko. — Here on the rocks found drawings of primitive people — petroglyphs: funny horses and scenes of hunting life. But what I saw impressed me. Stones from another world, from another culture, from another time, from another civilization… Continue reading
Tomb of the giants.
Traces of the giant, found by the expedition of Professor Muldashev in Syria, has led our scientists to the graves of giants. About who they protect and what you can find Ernst Muldashev told readers of "Arguments and facts".
– Many world legends tell of the giants, the giants, the titans… Why no one found giant human bones? Because find same dinosaur bones.
It is quite possible that the ancient giants did not betray the bodies of the dead earth as we. Even in the modern world all the peoples of burying people in different ways. For example, in India it is customary to burn the deceased, and the ashes drop into the water. But it seems to me that the ancient people placed the bodies of dead brethren in the sarcophagus where the body was dematerializations and turned into some bundles of energy that were used by real people for different purposes. This was probably "the last journey" of the deceased in antiquity. Therefore, the bones of giant people can not find.
– No, we did not find bones. But the graves of ancient giants discovered.
– Tell us about these graves.
– The most famous and significant is the grave of Abel – son of Adam and eve, located near Damascus. A huge number of pilgrims from Arab countries come here to worship. Guarding this tomb for more than 300 years, representatives of Islam, called "drusen"that recognize Jesus Christ and speak serijskom dialect of Aramaic – the language of the lifetime of Jesus.

Steven Feldman, Director of educational programs of the Bible society, said "Friday": "We want to talk about the historical event clearly and exciting. To do this, first, to get there, where it happened, and secondly, to attract as guides scientists involved in the study of this historical period. Five-star hotels, private planes and yachts are included."

I used to ship ore out of Guinea before my accident, as such I have friends and business acquaintances in the area and I keep an eye on what is happening in the country. It has always staggered me that despite so much of our industry being based on raw materials from Africa, we do not appear to take much interest in what is happening on this continent.
The current Ebola catastrophe is a case in point, it started in December 2013 and agencies such as MSF and the WHO have been calling for action for months. It is only now that the situation is untenable that the rich countries of the world are beginning to be shamed into action.
I wrote this poem to express my anger and also raise the question; is a crisis in Africa actually too good a thing for the West to stop? Cynical maybe, but ....
Ebola Too Litle Too Late
It started with the sniffles
but soon became much worse,
when blood erupted from her eyes
and internal organs burst.
By then her kids were sniffling
on their way to school
and others in the village
where dying, blood in stool.
The doctor, a shaman,
tried to lift the curse
but the spirits were too angry
and he only made it worse.
For months the world ignored it;
Africa's just not vogue.
The infection secured its grip
A dark satanic rogue.
The infection spread like wild fire
clinics were overcome
and even the best trained medics
eventually succumb.
Families raided hospitals
to take their loved ones home.
They didn't realise a casual touch
would see them all entombed.
When foreign medics fell sick
world interest began to rise.
Whisked back home for treatment
a few of them survive.
The risk of cross infection
makes a handshake unwise
for hid within a proffered hand
Armageddon lies.
International borders close,
curfews are applied,
travel is restricted
yet still, people die.
Farmers can't tend crops
The market stalls are bare.
With no planting for next year
there won't be food to share.
Soldiers join the police on streets
As looters begin to riot
Anger and resentment rise
As fear ferments disquiet.
Hands reach for machetes
infected blood flows.
Meanwhile the world dawdles
as the African death toll grows.
Oh, it will come and bite us
When it lands upon our shores
Or a lack of raw materials
puts our industry on all fours.
But default on trade agreements
or fail to pay off loans
and the rich will get still richer
on a pile of African bones.

Against Me! Singer Laura Jane Grace Says Coming Out 'Completely Ended' Relationship With Her Dad
Against Me! singer Laura Jane Grace -- formerly known as Tom Gabel -- says that ever since she came out as transgender last month, her father has basically refused to speak to her. She says that it has "completely ended my relationship with my father." And while she admits that "the way he was portrayed in the Rolling Stone article [that outed her] was a little harsh," Grace also says that she has "apologized for that" and hopes to continue a relationship with her dad.
"He tried calling, I tried calling him back but then he wouldn't call me back," Grace tells MTV News of her father's initial reaction. "I wrote a long letter [and] apologized for not telling him in person before, that I felt like a total coward for that. I explained about gender dysphoria, I told him if he had any questions, there were books I could point him in the direction of reading."
She continues: "He wrote me back maybe a two or three sentence-long email that just said, 'There was something very lacking in your presentation. For now the door is open, but we'll see.' And that's it."
Meanwhile, Grace says the difference in her life before disclosing her condition about a month ago and after has been "night and day," adding that "it made a world of difference in my life. I find that in a lot of situations in the past where I would have gotten frustrated or angry, I am a lot more calm and centered. I just feel at ease and like myself. Physically, I feel impatient."
Against Me! currently are trekking across North America -- with Grace performing her first-ever tour concerts as a she -- and the band has dates scheduled through June 23 in Los Angeles, Calif., before heading overseas for several European summer festival appearances. Check out their updated itinerary here.

'Let the Lesion Do the Talking'
Only a small subset of neurosurgeons are willing to tackle the complexities and risks associated with surgery of the ventral brainstem and thalamus. With so few cases available and limited cumulative experience for any one surgeon, one must often be innovative for the necessity of each patient's case by applying anatomical knowledge and drawing on personal confidence. These surgical approaches are considered complex and often require experience in skull base surgery. Additionally, the target 'real estate' is densely populated with nuclear tissue and fiber tracts that are unforgiving if transgressed.
We created illustrations to support this book chapter emphasizing two principles in the design of surgical approaches to these lesions. First, "Let the lesion do the talking" because it will determine the timing of surgery, goals of surgery, and operative approach. Second, "Build the approach from inside-out" describes a strategy that starts with the target, proceeds to the safe zone of entry and then trajectory, and concludes with the craniotomy.

At Gene Sperling's goodbye party last month, Timothy Geithner, Larry Summers and Jack Lew toasted the president's economic adviser at the Old Executive Office Building before migrating to the W Hotel's rooftop lounge, where they were joined by a lonely Republican guest — Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker.
The funny thing is, he fit right in.
Story Continued Below
These days, a room full of Democrats isn't such an unusual place to spot Corker, the energetic 61-year-old former mayor of Chattanooga. Corker has become a central negotiating figure in Washington's biggest policy debates, which often means bucking fellow Republicans in the name of compromise — a contrarian role Corker admits he's come to enjoy.
And if Republicans take control of the Senate this year, he's in line to take the reins of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, putting a stamp on foreign policy in a Republican Party that is divided between a growing isolationist wing and interventionists — the camp he favors.

Over the past year, Corker has faced off against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on the Senate floor over a failed GOP strategy to defund Obamacare, openly chided his party over its aversion to International Monetary Fund reforms and closely collaborated with President Barack Obama's top advisers, like Sperling, to try to tackle the herculean task of housing finance reform. It's not exactly a recipe you'd find in the conservative cookbook.
"You look at the things you do here and you've gotta say we don't do a lot of political calculations," Corker said of his work. "We try to call 'em like we see 'em."
Often shying away from the kind of bomb-throwing tactics wielded by some of his GOP colleagues that make for sexy cable television, Corker is increasingly in demand as a Republican guest on the Sunday shows, making a dozen appearances since 2013 when he became the top Republican on Senate Foreign Relations.
Corker says he not only has an open line of communication with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), he maintains "episodic" contact with Obama on a wide range of issues, including Iran sanctions and housing reform. A writer in The Tennessean newspaper even floated him for president.
All that means he's having the most fun he's had in years.
( Also on POLITICO: GOP Senate may run purple)
"It's back," Corker said of his mojo, which waned after Democrats changed the Senate's filibuster rules in November. He joked: "I need to probably learn how to say some outrageous things and that makes you an even more hot commodity."
Colleagues say Corker typically starts his day at 4 a.m. to scan the news and go running on the National Mall, and they describe the senator as a tenacious scholar who reads obsessively to prepare for committee hearings and media appearances. He has a tendency to use the phrase "candidly" in interviews, as if he is about to unveil the dark secrets of the Capitol to the reporters that flock to him and his trademark Tennessee twang.
And though he opposed bipartisan deals on the budget and government spending along with his party's conservatives, Corker's most high-profile work might be attempts to cut deals with the president and Democrats.
During this Congress, Corker voted for comprehensive immigration reform, spearheaded a doomed congressional authorization of military force in Syria and initially helped defuse the Senate rules change limiting the minority's power by voting for the president's nominees — all against the wishes of his party's right flank. He's also the rare Republican willing to open debate on raising the minimum wage.
( WATCH: POLITICO's Driving the Day)
Don't call him a "moderate" — he bristles at the term — but his colleagues praise the senator's fearlessness when it comes taking a stand, however unpopular it is.
"He'd charge a bear if it needed to be done," said fellow GOP Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander.
This is all quite a shift for a lawmaker who once cringed at the idea of serving a second term in the Senate — though he won't commit to running a third time in 2018.
When he arrived in Washington in 2007, Corker was accustomed to making executive decisions — both as a former mayor and in state government. On Capitol Hill, Corker quickly learned that there's not a whole lot you can accomplish as a freshman lawmaker in a party that just lost its majority in the Senate, cracking that he initially "sat on the cameraman's lap on the Banking Committee."
"It was very frustrating to somebody who was used to snapping his fingers and making his decision," said Tom Ingram, a Republican operative and longtime Tennessee hand, who advised Corker for years and maintains a close relationship. "He seriously questioned his being there."
After the 2008 financial crisis hit, Corker briefly experienced the thrill of being in the middle of one of the hottest debates in town, sitting in on meetings with former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke as a member of the Senate Banking Committee.

For years, retailers have faced the tough balance of touting their more profitable private labels versus the national brands that consumers may desire but don't give stores as much margin. For Kohl's, it looks to be tweaking the formula again.
Kohl's /quotes/zigman/231595/delayed /quotes/nls/kss KSS shares on Monday jumped 3.4% to be one of the leading gainers in the S&P Retail Index after UBS analyst Michael Binetti raised the stock to buy from neutral. A key reason behind his upgrade: the mid-priced department store operator is re-emphasizing national brands including Nike /quotes/zigman/235840/delayed /quotes/nls/nke NKE and Levi's instead of its own store brands.
"The biggest strategic mistake for Kohl's has been pushing the penetration of its private brands from 30% in 2007 to over 50% in 2011" and up to 54% by 2012, Binetti said. "By contrast, Kohl's consumer has been clearly telling the company that it doesn't like the private/exclusive label merchandise in stores for years."
The percentage of shoppers who thinks Kohl's has the brands they prefer has declined each year to 7.8% in 2011 from 10.8% in 2007, the analyst cited a Kantar consumer survey as saying. In fact in the third quarter, the percentage of shoppers who frequent its stores monthly and think it has their favored brands is at 9.5%, lower than the 10.8% for its top rival and struggling J.C. Penney Co. /quotes/zigman/237947/delayed /quotes/nls/jcp JCP , he said. Macy's /quotes/zigman/467976/delayed /quotes/nls/m M has 16.2%.
"Kohl's crossing a key tipping point in the consumers' minds" when private and exclusive labels become a majority of its sales, he said.
The analyst said the company has been adding fixtures and signs and setting up in-store sections featuring national brands and introducing labels like the popular Beats audio accessories.
Kohl's is also testing a loyalty program for shoppers not owning its store credit cards to drive visits as its credit card customers shop 19 times per year versus 2 to 4 times for non credit customers.
As beauty and accessories have served as key traffic drivers for department stores, Kohl's is also testing a redesigned beauty section featuring cosmetics brands like Lorac. For instance, Penney's 446 Sephora in-store shops led beauty product sales to be over 6% of its sales, compared against 2% for Kohl's, Binetti said.
For this holiday, Binetti said the company's fulfilling online orders from about 200 stores will give it some sales boost that its rival Macy's witnessed last year when it unveiled the feature, he said. Kohl's is also shifting to open its stores on Thanksgiving day, along with Macy's and J.C. Penney, and that also will give it a sales boost this year and win some traffic that it may have lost to the likes of Wal-Mart /quotes/zigman/245476/delayed /quotes/nls/wmt WMT last year by opening later, he said.

BTRIEVE and NetWare 5.1
Novell Cool Solutions: Tip
Digg This -
Slashdot This
Posted: 3 Aug 2000
What ever happened to BTRIEVE?
There is a "BTRIEVE" included with NetWare 5.1, and it installs during the normal server install. The official "BTRIEVE" version is 7.5.1. I put it in quotes because it is not the BTRIEVE as we all knew it before NetWare 5. This is a shim that responds to BTREIVE API's but uses the Pervasive.SQL 2000 database. This version has native TCP/IP support. Pervasive.SQL 2000 is a time-bombed (90 days) version. After 90 days, it will revert to a 2 user license version (needed by NetWare 5.1), and you will have to purchase additional licenses from Pervasive.
You may or may not be able to run BTRIEVE 6 on NetWare 5 (I never tried to), but you really don't want to (and it is no longer supported by Novell or Pervasive). It is an IPX dependent application and requires the IPX stack be loaded on the server to function. You cannot run this in a pure IP environment.
Pervasive.SQL 2000 is completely backwards compatible. Existing applications written to use Btrieve v6.10 and 6.15 will run with Pervasive.SQL 2000 without changes.

The Leaves hailed from Los Angeles. I thought that The Seeds discography was a mess with multiple releases of the same song with different catalogue numbers and different flip-sides. Man, let me tell you, The Leaves take the cake.
We focus today on The Leaves' first release, Too Many People/Love Minus Zero. It was released on the local label, Mira Records, and hit the stores in July of 1965. The A-side was composed by the band's first lead guitarist, Bill Rinehart and bassist, Jim Pons. Too Many People is a scorcher of an original. Wailing harmonica, pounding bass, double vocal attack from Pons and John Beck, snarly lyrics about fighting back against "the man" and some very nice Rickenbacker guitar leads.
With this first release, the flip-side was Bob Dylan's Love Minus Zero. A perfectly fine version, but ultimately a tepid number compared to the A-side.
Too Many People would be rerecorded for the band's LP. That rerecording is a greatly inferior version to what we have here on their debut single. The single would get released again, a full year after this initial release, with Girl From The East as the flip-side. That song would be released on no less than four straight singles from the band! And we haven't even touched on the three different recordings of Hey Joe that the band released in less than six months. Sheesh!

Ann Arbor, Mich., Feb. 17, 2017 -– The importance of keeping alive the historical record of the early days of the Civil Rights Movement for today's students was among the themes cited by speakers Saturday at the School of Dentistry's 36th annual King's Feast.
About 90 members of the dental community came together at the Michigan League to hear a veteran civil rights activist, Hazel Whitney, and to honor a longtime faculty member, Dr. Emerson Robinson, at an event celebrating the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The University of Michigan Student National Dental Association organized the program, expanding on the campus-wide MLK Day theme of "Sounds of Change" by asking participants: "Sound is a core of change, as is its absence, silence. What sounds of change are you drumming up?"
In her welcoming remarks, Dean Laurie McCauley noted that the school's Multicultural Affairs Committee is celebrating its 20th year, with many of the original members still active in organizing events to encourage and celebrate diversity in its many forms. "I want to emphasize how important that was, how much that catapulted us to where we are today. When the university recently kicked off its diversity, equity and inclusion strategic plan, our unit was really ahead of others on campus and many have reached out to us to learn what we have been doing. … It's something we can be really proud of."
Robinson, who retired in 2003 but has remained active around the school, was feted as a role model for countless minority students and early-career faculty members he mentored over the 46 years he has been associated with the school. Dr. Ken May listed the many areas he was involved in, from committees on varied topics to professional organizations to his didactic and clinical instruction. His early career interest was in community dentistry, then he published in the area of prosthodontics. Later, he turned his research focus to sleep apnea and the use of intraoral appliances.
Robinson credited many of his colleagues and school leaders during his tenure with advancing the cause of diversity at a time when it was not a common practice across the country. He said he remained engaged with the School of Dentistry even after retirement because of the camaraderie with his colleagues and because of his involvement with students. "It was a joy to watch students grow," he said.
In her keynote address, Whitney shared some of her memories from the days of segregation and the civil rights movement in the South in the late 1950s and early 1960s. She and her late husband, the Rev. Leon Whitney, welcomed Freedom Riders and other leaders of the movement into their Mississippi home, including Dr. King and Medgar Evers, the activist who was murdered in 1963. They lived in the midst of the violent opposition that civil rights activists faced, from houses set on fire to attacks by police dogs.
Whitney recounted the evening when, shortly after the prayer was finished at the family dinner table, bullets ripped into their house. No one was injured, but it prompted a discussion of the safest place to sleep in their house and how they should be prepared to leave quickly if they remained a target for those who opposed their work. A few weeks later Evers was killed.
The Whitneys moved to Detroit in 1968 and her husband became senior pastor at New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church. She was a teacher in Detroit area schools and continues to volunteer in schools today. She said she stays involved with schools well into retirement because children need to understand black history and the struggle that has brought them to this place in time, no matter how imperfect it is. "We've got to leave a mark that the kids will follow," she said. "We spent our time (teaching) to let those children know how important their history is. And as a result, they begin to feel good about themselves. We need to let them know that at one time in America, for the representation in Congress, that we were classified as three-fifths of a person."
She urged the dental students and the rest of the audience to volunteer in schools. "You can't be satisfied doing nothing," she said. "What you've got to do is figure out what can you do to make a difference. It's a great country … do what you got to do, but I'm begging you, I'm begging you, lend yourself just a little bit to our children."
Blake Bufford (D3), president of SNDA, and Briana Lung (D1), led the program, which included the reading of a poem, "If the Atlantic Could Speak," by Dr. Debby Mitchell, executive director of All Things Artistic Ministries. She wrote the poem, about slaves who died crossing the Atlantic Ocean in slave ships, after hearing a previous presentation on black history by Hazel Whitney at the School of Dentistry 20 years ago.
Dr. Todd Ester, the school's director of diversity and inclusion and advisor to SNDA, said the annual dinner, now in its 36th year, is an important tradition made possible by the entire dental school community. "The King's Feast provides an opportunity for dental school alumni, students, staff and faculty to celebrate Dr. King's Dream of 'The Beloved Community' together," Ester said. "This year's celebration comes at a time of historic challenges in our world and community, but I am convinced that our efforts in diversity, equity and inclusion will help our dental school community navigate these times successfully."
The University of Michigan School of Dentistry is one of the nation's leading dental schools engaged in oral health care education, research, patient care and community service. General dental care clinics and specialty clinics providing advanced treatment enable the school to offer dental services and programs to patients throughout Michigan. Classroom and clinic instruction prepare future dentists, dental specialists, and dental hygienists for practice in private offices, hospitals, academia and public agencies. Research seeks to discover and apply new knowledge that can help patients worldwide. For more information about the School of Dentistry, visit us on the Web at: www.dent.umich.edu.

1. to grow vigorously
2. to gain in wealth or possessions
3. to progress toward or realize a goal despite or because of circumstances
There is a continuous theme in each of these definitions and it's one that has surprised me as I've been thinking on this topic and writing this month.
Thriving is a process, not a destination.
We often think that if we're truly thriving we've somehow attained a higher level of life.
If we go by Webster's definition, though, we see that it's about growth, gaining, progress. Not full maturity or perfection.
We sometimes talk about life in terms like 'surviving' or 'just keeping my head above water'. If we say these things does it mean we're not thriving?
It could.
But what if thriving was not about keeping on top of things and getting through another day.
What if thriving was about my attitude?
What if thriving was about my growth in Christ-likeness?
Because if it's about my attitude and my spiritual growth, then I can thrive in the midst of anything. And my thriving might look very different from yours because we're all at different points in our journey with the Lord.
And sometimes we go through valleys and sometimes we stand on the mountaintop, but isn't it how we do each of those things that is important?
I'm learning about my attitude and how it affects my ability to thrive, so I'm going to talk about that for the next few days, maybe for the remainder of the month. I don't have it all planned out, but I want to share what God has been teaching me in this area.
For today, though, I want to leave you with a great promise, one that reminds me that my thriving will one day reach maturity, and it's God who is doing the work in me.
"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you
will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."
Philippians 1:6

This H bridge driver ic will solve most of your problems in dealing with a full H-bridge control of motor.
Generally what we do when we want to control a motor in bidirectional?
An H-bridge is one of the simplest method available as shown in below figure.
You have to give four pulses by microcontroller device to make the bridge operate.
thats right and affordable also, we can do this.
But what about "Vgs" for every mosfet to turn on you have to give some voltage on gate with reference to source.
This seems right, its fine you can do it right?
But what about the H bridge we were talking about?
H bridge has 4 mosfets. 2 of them have source connected to ground and other two have source connected to "Load" that is floating.
So how can you apply Vgs to the top two Mosfets ?
There is also a solution. you can have each power supply separate so no need to worry about the top two Mosfets, their power supply will be different and their ground may be different than actual ground as you can see here. but that is a very lengthy process as you have to derive four power supplies for all Mosfets.
Instead of this you can use a H bridge driver IC. This IC will take care of almost everything.
You just have to apply Two pulses to the Driver IC and all the other things are generated internally.
Here is the block diagram of a typical H bridge driver IC from Freescale Semiconductor.
As you can see there is internal 5V power supply so you don't need to worry about separate power supply for each mosfet gate voltage.
All you need to do is give input according to the truth table shown in data sheet to achieve positive or negative current from load.
Here is the data sheet for MC33186 H bridge driver IC from Freescale Semiconductor.

KOCHI: Incorporating energy-efficiency measures in buildings has the potential to save up to 50 per cent energy, since buildings are responsible for 40 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions.
For existing buildings, the savings potential through alterations and energy-efficient fittings is between 20 and 25 per cent. Even non air-conditioned buildings can go green, by making optimal use of wind and daylight and by adopting other environment-friendly measures. These were stated at 'Go Green' – a seminar-cum-exhibition on green buildings, organised here on Friday by the Rotary Club of Thripunithura and KREEPA, as part of their Akshaya Vikas Project.
Making a presentation, Siva Kishan, chief executive officer of GRIHA – Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (which is the national rating system for green buildings), said the Energy Conservation Building Code regulates the usage of power in new buildings. "Green-rating mechanisms have been able to sensitise the construction industry to the benefits of integrated design and resource efficiency, from both the economic and environmental perspective. A rating system for India must respond to the country's diversity and help develop sensible solutions relevant to different building projects."
In her presentation on 'Green buildings – the potential to earn carbon credits,' Mayurika Chakraborthy, senior consultant with Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India, said that less power consumption for lighting, air-conditioning, etc., would mean lesser usage of electricity from the thermal-power dominated power grid. "This in turn means an equivalent reduction in the amount of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that are released from fossil fuels. This makes a green building eligible to earn carbon credits."
Guruprakash Sastry, manager (Green Initiatives) of Infosys, said the IT firm has been aggressively going ahead with its plan to design all its buildings as green buildings, to optimise energy performance and occupant comfort. "Sustainable buildings and saving every percentage of electricity and water make business sense and reduces expenses, especially when the annual electricity bills exceed Rs.120 crore and the water consumption is over 3 billion litres."
Quoting Winston Churchill, Sathiaram Ram of IGBC, Hyderabad, said, "We shape our buildings. Thereafter, they shape us." Buildings consume more energy than industry and vehicles. The green concept must become part of society's DNA. Even a 100-sq ft building can make a difference in shaping a better world. The intangible benefits of green buildings include better working/living atmosphere, he said and cited how a 20,000 sq ft green building saved Rs.9 lakh a year.
"India also has a great opportunity to export green-building technologies. Already, India has 508 green buildings spread over 358 million square ft area," Mr. Ram said.

Funded by the EU project TURAS successfully toured with a mobile green oasis through several European cities.
Everything started with a regional association, an EU research project, an architect, a gardener and a city. Two years ago, an interdisciplinary exchange about new visions of urban greenery resulted in a project where a green island was placed into the German town of Ludwigsburg. The challenge was to create something that inspires cities to build more green spaces.
Green spaces create shade, filter out dangerous fine dust, cool the surrounding air through evaporation and provide zones where city dwellers can relax. The Green Living Room is made of walls and a roof, planted with over 7.000 individual plants of 30 different species. At first the project was disputed but after the University of Stuttgart scientifically proved its positive effects, it became a best practice example for a successful and sustainable investment in green infrastructure.
The success of the Green Living Room inspired its makers to go on tour with it. The architect Dr. Ferdinand Ludwig and Hans Müller from the company Helix, which provided the plants, convinced TURAS, an EU project for sustainable urban living, to visit European cities and raise awareness for the topic of resilience. Local politicians and citizens in seven European countries could directly experience and learn about the advantages of green infrastructure.
So, the Green Living Room went mobile and toured through Bonn, Frankfurt, London, Brussels, Antwerp, Zagreb, Ljubljana and Krems. The reactions were absolutely positive, from the communities as well as from the media coverage. Several cities have shown interest in either buying or renting the Mobile Green Living Room.

We also hold two or three brick sessions over the course of the summer, held at a local Airfield, where you will benefit from the club coaches experience to give you confidence in improving your transitions. You will get plenty of practice getting on and off the bike! These are ideal for those new to triathlon and wanting to become more adept at the skill of transitions and to those aiming to shave a few precious seconds off their transition time before an important race.
Thursday Night 10mi TT WT host a very popular 10 mi TT held on certain Thursday evenings throughout the summer. This is a session suitable for all abilities and those looking to improve their performance and speed endurance. All are welcome and a number of other cycling clubs and local cyclists take part. These sessions enable riders to take part in a competitive event which is fun and informal. Results are published on the website and riders look to challenge themselves and beat their previous time. Details of our TT can be found here: www.waldentri.co.uk/index.php/training-sessions/cycling/10-mile-time-trials
Sunday Rides Walden Velo is a dedicated cycling club based in Saffron Walden. They have two 2h rides on a summer Sunday; 7.30am and 9.45am, both starting and finishing at the market square (Town Hall). On the winter they have 2h or 3h rides both starting at 8:30 at the market square. They will allow non-Club members to ride with them by invitation and after a couple of sessions you will be expected to join the club.

10 mile Time Trials Article Count: 14
This year we have a full schedule for our 10 mile TT course! The TT gives you the opportunity to test yourself with other riders from WaldenTRI and from various other clubs and cycling organisations which means more friendly competition and more camaraderie.
If you are new to time trials then I strongly urge you to have a go regardless of your perceived abilities. Time Trials work on the principle of launching one rider at set intervals with the fastest going last. The idea is that you try to avoid being caught by the riders behind. By doing so, you learn to push your limits, build your fitness with High Intensity Training and learn how to endure the pain to achieve your own personal best. A great way to make big gains on your Triathlon bike leg
Parking and meeting point has changed: new venue is The Barn, Audley End Business Centre, which is signposted from the road. (next to The Forge). Please note the times listed below are the start times, please arrive 30 minutes before this time to allow for sign-in, warm-up and compulsory race briefing.
This year, the cost of TT must be paid in cash. There has been a price increase this year to ensure cycling levies are met. £3.00 for members and £4.00 for non-members.
Remember: rear light and helmet are compulsory. Shoulders must be covered, no tri suits, and no team replica jerseys. (these are CTT rules)
Results and a leader board will be readily available on the internet for you to track your progress and of course watch your times getting quicker and quicker.

During winter on Monday evenings, we meet at Lord Buttler Leisure Centre at 19:45 to start the session at 20:00 sharp.
We pride ourselves in having this winter session (a discipline regularly forgotten but vital to stability and strength). This form of pain is fun and always ends on a feel-good note!
In the summer we transfer to Carver Barracks. Here we again have structured coached sessions to improve speed, endurance and technique. We also use these times on occasions to practice the fourth triathlon discipline, TRANSITION, ideal on grass for those mastering fast mount/dismounts as it tends to be a softer landing if you wobble!

Working with CT has provided the business with much needed assurance that we have the best hardware and most secure service to ensure our business connectivity demands are always met.'
Finance Director, UK Manufacturing
Is a leased line the right option for your organisation?
With broadband or fibre, the more users you have on your line at any one time, the more likely you are to see slower speeds. With a leased line, no matter how many users are online, the speed will always stay the same.
Can I use SIP trunks with your leased line service?
Yes we have a full offering around SIP Trunks, Telecoms and phone systems. All of these services are housed in our data centres where the Leased Lines terminate allowing us to provide high quality, reliable voice services.
Is uploading critical?
For some businesses, the ability to upload files and transfer data is much more important than downloading, so for some a large upload bandwidth is critical.
How much bandwidth do you need?
You decide upfront what bandwidth you're going to need and that's all you pay for, and you can change it to suit your demand.
Is a consistent internet connection speed vital to your customers?
For many businesses, broadband is fine. But one of the drawbacks is that the speed can slow down at busy times of the day. A leased line offers an uncontended service with a 1:1 contention ratio you always get exactly the same speed, no matter what time of day it is.

Kulfi is one of the signature dessert from Indians.. even a non-sweet tooth person could never say NO to this slightly chewy and a dense frozen dessert. It was a usual lazy day at office, we had been to an Indian restaurant in New york City - midtown for lunch. I am a person who don't like eating out, neither appreciates the taste of the restaurant food...cause you never know what goes in there... Do you? We were done with our main meal...time for a dessert! Since, I wasn't really in a mood to have a dessert at that time, I ordered the very first item in the dessert menu just for the heck of it, without even looking in to the other options. when I had my dessert plate on table..and realising that I had ordered for K.U.L.F.I looking at that wonderful pista flavored frozen dessert, small flashback was running in the back of my mind...in my good ol' days I used to crave for kulfi, I never miss to have one, whenever I get chance... jeezz it really been SO MANY years since I had kulfi !! Actually my plan was to share my dessert with my other colleague.. Poor guy dint even get a bite of it!! I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch very FIRST time in a restaurant.. humm the credit goes to the guy who made that pista kulfi !!!

2016 Yusko Ward-Phillips Lecture featuring Bruno Latour. Professor Latour - Does the Body Politic Need a New Body?
The English Department cordially invites you to attend the 2016 Yusko
Ward-Phillips Lecture featuring Bruno Latour. Professor Latour's
lecture, titled "Does the Body Politic Need a New Body?", will take
place at 6:30 pm, this Thursday, November 3, in the McKenna Hall
Professor Latour is director of Médialab Sciences Po, Paris, and
Centennial Professor at the London School of Economics. Recent books
include On the Modern Cult of the Factish Gods (2009); Reassembling
the Social: An introduction to Actor-Network Theory (2005); and
Politics of Nature: How to Bring the Sciences into Democracy (2004).
Professor Latour has a particular gift for framing the complex in
trenchant terms that clarify them for a broad audience. Professor
Latour's efforts to reach others have transported him outside the
academy—involving him in the production of numerous art installations,
re-enactments, MOOC's, and digital humanities projects.
Past Yusko Ward-Phillips lecturers include Elie Wiesel, Cornel West,
Terry Eagleton, Edward Said, Seamus Heaney, Margaret Atwood, and
Judith Butler. Professor Latour's appearance is funded by the Yusko
Endowment for Excellence in English. Additional sponsors include the
Department of American Studies; the Department of Anthropology; the
Department of History; the Department of Philosophy; the Department of
Political Science; the Department of Romance Languages and
Literatures; and the Department of Theology; the Kroc Institute for

Recently, because of the questions raised both in the US and in UK on the outcomes of investing in university studies (see for example the Financial Times article on the OECD report: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/1d27b936-dded-11e0-a391-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1YcA8ODzf ), the concept of value has emerged in the discussion on the future of higher education.
I think it is important to remind us what value is and how it is measured.
Value is defined in the Webster dictionary as a relative worth, utility, or importance. Value is indeed not absolute but relative. And it is relative because it is PERCEIVED (the concept of perceived value is at the core of the development of marketing as a discipline). It means that different units will have a different perception AND a different measure of value and that, as a consequence, these perceptions have to be addressed differently by the provider of a product or service. Value is then measured by the providers by asking the current and potential users of their products or services what their perception is (positive or negative) and then use different sub-criteria to precise what they like and dislike. They use this information to enhance the perceived characteristics of their offer.
How does that translate in higher education?
First, it means that the different stakeholders will have different perceptions, at the individual and at the group level. It explains why the current debate can be very confusing. Academics individually and as a group, students, university vice-chancellors, ministers,… will all have a different reading on what a valuable higher education is. The problem is that the academic world does not behave the same way as the rest of the world! In a standard setting, when an organisation provides a product or service (for profit or not), it tries to work on the perceived added value for… the user of its product or service. And who is the user in the case of higher education? The obvious answer is the student. There is a less obvious but as valid answer: the organisation which will employ this student once he/she graduates. Strangely enough, lots of academics advocate that these users should not be the unit of analysis when we discuss the value(s) of higher education. It is also the stand taken by most rankings (including the ARWU and the THE rankings), which use mostly criteria related to the value as measured by academics. When the THE ranking is proud to ask thousands of academics to tell us what they think of other institutions, it's clearly focused on the perception of the providers (the academics), not the users.
For the readers familiar with the rankings of business schools, the focus on the users is obvious. Most of them will use criteria such as the salary after graduation (monetary value), the number of alumni (network value), the time spent to find a job after graduation (the value of the graduated student as perceived by the employer), etc…
That's why the question of the value of a degree for a student is a valid and genuine one.
Then, how do you measure the perceived value?
There are several answers. First, there is the immediate perceived value which is measured by asking the current students how they perceive their education. It is done through their evaluation of the courses and units done regularly inside the university (or at least it should be done regularly). But, there is also the post-usage value, which is measured by asking the alumni how they perceive the value of their studies 5 or 10 years after they graduated. Then, you can also measure the perceived value for the second-level users (= employers) on your degrees: what should the content be to give the most useful knowledge, skills and behaviours for the students?
With this information, along with the input from the other stakeholders (including the academics of course), universities can then work on the assurance of learning, which will set the learning expectations and the assurance that graduates will achieve them.
Of course, it means that the measures have to be done regularly and that the courses/programs/units offered have also to be modified regularly to try to always provide the best value as it is perceived by the users. In the business schools world again, assurance of learning is one of key characteristics evaluated by local and international accreditors (AACSB for example).
If this process is followed correctly, universities will be closer to the expectations of the students and of the society in general and a common perception of value could even emerge, making public policies more efficient.

24 Hour Adventure Race Part 2 - Rotoehu!
I broke up the raft and paddled back to a fading Trev anf got Lea to raft up again. Without knowing how long it would take to get a boat to us and seeing Trev in quite a distressed state with the cold fashioned a way of getting him onto the back of my boat. I needed to convince Lea that we would not tip in doing so and he managed to scramble up and lie across the back. We now just had to wait because we were going no where. Trev was freezing and all we could do was rub his hands to keep him warm. Just as we were contemplating trying to access Lea's drybag to get some warm clothes we saw the boat that Barry had got, after some convincing, approaching.
To our surprise he was just going to go on past and recue some who had washed ashore. We convinced himthat Trev needed saving and in a great piece of driving he got beside us in the swell and pulled Trev on to his boat.
It was now left to Lea and myself to cut across the wind and chop to get to shore safely, which we did after meeting up with Barry at the entrance to the bay.
This was a great example of the team sticking together and sticking it out.
I had a few tears of relief and tension escaping as I met our support crew. But they warmed us up, fed us and the mighty Trev, knowing his boat was still out there and having been through quite an event, climbed on to his mtb and we set off on the next stage of the great adventure.
At this stage we were very worried about the Lost Wanderers. But all ended OK, but their race was close to an end at this point. Destry, I want you to type up a report on your team and email it to me to include on the Blog.
More to come. Go the Possums!

I can vouch for the atrocious conditions on the lake, Karl Rendals father and I talked one of the locals to take his 24' game fishing boat out on the lake to try and locate the wounded wanderers team. Even in a vessel that size, the waves seemed very rough. When we tried to manouvre the boat to try and pick some one up, the wind soon put us crook and made things difficult. Full credit to the possums for completing the race. I'm quite happy to admit that I got very concerned for the welfare of the competitors that were on the lake at that time. I was very relieved when everyone was safely ashore.

All i can say is,Thank god destry's a big guy.It was good to see he could keep him self afloat for so long,good on Barry,Maurie,Trevor an lea.

They were all aright. All sensible people to not cross. The ladies that got stranded had the fire stoked up. Luckliy Super 'D' and Jenny had Mr Rendall experience to keep them safe.
Just grab a beer sit back and wait for the organisers to do their job.

Errors About Old Porcelain
( Originally Published 1913 )
Though the study of porcelain is quite a science, it can never become an exact science in the sense that mathematics and botany and anatomy are exact sciences; the early records are too scanty for that. Books on the subject published even twenty years ago are full of errors due to incomplete knowledge, and each china-collector will in his own " line " find some of these mistakes out for himself. Every now and then, however, an important discovery is made, which corrects a whole class of blunders. Here is one :
Celadon China. The oldest and rarest kinds of Chinese porcelain are those which go by the generic name of celadon. The first translators from the Chinese records on porcelain quoted the name celadon as meaning "blue as the sky after rain." Yet the most usual celadon colour does not answer that description at all, and the term has puzzled English collectors, who have been fain to suppose that either they or the early Chinese were in this matter rather colour-blind. But now it appears that the first translators of Chinese records about porcelain made a textual mistake. The translation should have been " green as the sky after rain " ; and certainly the most usual celadon tint much more nearly resembles the faint green of a clearing sky than a blue.
That was why the earliest piece of Chinese porcelain known in Europe was called " grene pursselyne." This is a " bowl of pale sea-green celadon, mounted in silver-gilt, preserved at New College, Oxford." It is " known as the cup of Archbishop Warham (1504-32) ; it is said to have been presented to the college by that prelate, and the early date is confirmed by the style of the mounting."
But the term " celadon " has been applied in error, which has gone too far to be set right again, not only to green ware, but to ware of all colorations which reside in the glaze. These coloured " celadon" glazes, yellow, pink, claret, and many other tints never procured by European potters, are lovely in themselves. But the lover of " Oriental " goes into raptures over the modelling, and the expression, and the mythology also. Old Oriental figures, Old Buddhist gods and goddesses, mandarins, priests, and peasants, and above all the fabulous monsters called " kylins " are real treasures, seldom to be bought.
The Crusader's Plate. Until lately, all the books on Oriental porcelain used to tell us that the earliest piece of porcelain to come to Europe was preserved in the Green Vaults at Dresden. It is a little plate " inlaid with garnets cut into facettes," and " was brought back from the East by a Crusader" (so the legend went). But " I am afraid that this must go the way of so many similar stories," writes Mr. Edward Dillon. He goes on: " I have had an opportunity of examining this often-quoted example of early Chinese porcelain, as well as a cup similarly inlaid in the same collection, and I quite agree with Dr. Zimmerman, the curator of the museum, that the setting can hardly be earlier than the sixteenth century."
"Armorial " and " Lowestoft " China.-Far-spreading error has arisen in connection with what the dealers call " armorial Lowestoft " and " Lowestoft " ; and Mr. Dillon takes " a rapid glance at a large and complicated group, decorated wholly or in part in European style." He says that " quite early, perhaps before 1700, figures and groups in plain white ware, for the most part attired in the European costume of the day, were exported from China " (some of these today, by the by, masquerade as " Plymouth " or " hard Bow "). " Later on," says Mr. Dillon, " it became the fashion for the European merchants at Canton to supply the native enamellers of that city with engravings, to be copied by them in colours on the white ware.... But the most frequent task given to these Canton enamellers was the reproduction of elaborate coats-ofarms upon the centre of a plate or dish, or sometimes upon a whole dinner-service.... This armorial china has nothing to do with Lowestoft," and " whether any hard porcelain from other sources was ever painted at Lowestoft is very doubtful."
As to the so-called Lowestoft mandarin and Long Eliza porcelain, " the Lowestoft porcelain of the dealers is now known to have been painted by Chinese artists at Canton." Let me go on to say that the so called "Lowestoft" ribbon and flower pattern, when it occurs on hard china, is almost certainly "New Hall." The porcelain made at Lowestoft was always " soft." It was badly made, and rude as a rule.
