© 2012 Resilience Partners
The Resilient Spirit
The workshop begins with assessing the qualities and characteristics of resilient individuals and organizations. Participants then chart their own empowering beliefs as well as commonly-held beliefs that may be sabotaging the individual, team or organization.
The Situation Room
Using a four-quadrant grid, participants analyze a situation that is challenging to the individual, team or organization. By plotting their circumstance on the grid, participants gain a deeper understanding of the nature of the challenge they are facing, and discover which skills, strategies and perspectives to apply. The Situation Room Grid is a useful assessment template that can be used over and over again, whenever participants, teams or organizations face volatile, uncertain, complex or ambiguous challenges.
The Resilience Spiral ™
The Resilience Spiral is an interactive model that helps participants place this period of their work lives into a larger perspective.

This deck of 52 playing cards is an engaging way to identify individual, team and organizational Resilience 2.0 strengths as well as areas ripe for further development. For individual, team or group use.

The Four C's
Resilience 2.0 begins where traditional change management leaves off by examining the following questions:
How can I keep my spirits up, regardless of the challenges I face?
Discover the qualities and characteristics of resilient people, teams and organizations as well as commonly-held beliefs that may be sabotaging influences.
What resources can I draw upon that will allow me to act confidently even in uncertain or ambiguous circumstances?
The key to resilience is understanding the nature of the situation you are facing, and knowing which skills, strategies and perspectives to apply when. Learn how to bring your best to whatever comes your way.
How can I shift my perspective to find fresh solutions when I can no longer rely solely on old problem-solving approaches?
Master the Resilience Spiral model to elongate the upswings in your work life cycles, and navigate through the downswings as quickly and efficiently as possible.
What do I have to contribute to my team and who can I call upon to help me broaden my support network?
Sort and share the Resilience 2.0 deck of cards to determine your strongest suit, what you need most to develop and what to ask of others.
Increased confidence in the face of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity
The courage to handle whatever situations arise
Recourse to new approaches when old problem-solving methods no longer work

Just because an activity or a place is popular does not make it right. Bull fighting is popular in Spain, Cock Fighting is popular in the Philippines and the Tiger Temple is popular in Thailand. Cathay Pacific have started to just started to promote visits to the Tiger Temple in a package which includes visits to River Kwai. One wonders why such a reputable airline should not have checked out the facts first. Even the 'Lonely Planet' tour guide advises against visitin the tiger temple.
The advertising blurp in the Sri Lankan Times (http://www.sundaytimes.lk/110724/Plus/plus_12.html) makes the following statements:
Tigers roam where monks reside
Here the huge Bengal tigers breed, feed and even roam with human beings. Since its opening in 1994, Wat Pa Luangta Bua has gained a reputation as a wildlife sanctuary. It started with an injured jungle fowl being given to the monks by the villagers. Attracted by the calls of the by then rather large colony of jungle fowl, Peacocks too flocked to the area. An injured wild boar stumbled into the monastery and the monks cared for it until it could be released back into the forest.
With whom has it got a reputation as a wildlife sanctuary?
"Peacocks flocked to the area"...they flew from India I assume? Unless they mean Green Peafowl and I hardly think they flocked in from anywhere.
is believed to be home to the largest surviving tiger population in the region
Rubbish. Take a look at Sri Racha Tiger Zoo.... a collection with whom it has dealings.
It was an injured tiger that paved the way for this world's first tiger temple, way back in 1994. The tiger had made it to the nearby temple where the priests nursed its injuries and provided food for the animal to limp back to health. When the tiger recovered, the monks tried to release it to the wilds but it did not want to leave and it became a permanent resident there. One month later, another tiger joined it and formed a family.
More absolute rubbish from out of the realms of fairy tales.
And the fairy tale continues, either a complete fabrication or just skimming the perimeter of truth.

During our time in London, we stopped in two department stores which go back over 300 years. The story of the first, Selfridges, is told in a BBC series of the same name. It's fascinating to learn how a large store like this one (began in 1856) grew from the ground up. They were nominated as the best department store in the world three times. I believe it was Selfridges that first had the motto, 'the customer is ALWAYS right'. This link will give you a quick summary: http://www.selfridges.com/content/our-heritage
Here is the front of the building:
The ornate clock above the door . . .
The corner stone plaque:
Lovely things: colorful (and expensive) clothing:
When Mr. Selfridge, an American who began his career at Marshall Fields in Chicago, opened the store, the window displays were the main attraction. He was known to have the most unique window dressings in London. Here is one:
And another window display catering to women:
Here is an example of the original brass work on an upper floor:
Because we spent the hour (after taking a quick tour) eating dinner on the top floor (it was closing), we did not have the chance to shop. Not that anything was in our price range, but we could have found a small something, because I wanted a bright yellow Selfridges bag as a souvenir. I asked on the way out (they were closing out the registers) if I could have one, but they said because of security issues, they were not allowed to give them out without a purchase. Too bad.
Here is a photo inside the front entrance:
A view down the escalator:
I was disappointed that Selfridges had lost the 'Victorian' look of old fashioned glass cases and displays. Instead, it was quite modern!
But, we did find one that was. . .
. . . my favorite department store, Fortnum and Mason! It features men and women's accessories, China, silver, stationary, and, of course, their speciality foods: tea, lemon curd, marmalade, etc. They opened in 1707, and were known for their 'Scotch egg' for travelers, which consisted of a soft boiled egg, wrapped in sausage meat, then rolled in bread crumbs. They also supplied to royalty and to soldiers, are known for their sumptuous picnic hampers, and won an award at the Great Exhibition. Find more fascinating information here, on their website: https://www.fortnumandmason.com/information/our-history
The accessory floor was eye-catching, and had some fashionable hats:
The woman below was representing her husband's great, great grandfather's perfume company, called Grossmith. To the very right, in the glass case, are their Victorian versions, which are found in a few Downton Abbey episodes!
We were fascinated with fascinators, made popular by Princess Katherine. They really are to be worn askew on the head. These two were particularly comical (the purple puff is actually an ice cream cone). So much so, that our friend Hannah and Olivia almost burst out laughing. But of course, they displayed their self-control:
Here is a final photo of the ground floor (not the first floor, mind you, which was quite confusing to us at first):
You can see why it is my favorite Victorian styled department store! Wished we had much more time to browse . . .

My Gay Boyfriend
I met Frankie within the first week of college at an orientation meeting for the theatre department. All older theatre majors were asked to choose a freshman "buddy" to help out for the first semester. Frank chose me. In fact, he had been staring at me for most of the meeting, making me blush. He wore a bright blue button down shirt that was only buttoned once in the center; the rest of the shirt was open revealing his chest and abs. Hugging his neck was a hemp necklace fastened in the center with a large bead.
Frank is probably cringing right now as he reads about his old fashion sense. If you can even call it that.
So, Frankie chose me as his freshman buddy. He told me that I was beautiful and he played with my hair in the hallways as he showed me around the various rehearsal rooms. He had these light brown eyes that sometimes, in certain light, looked green and a bellowing laugh that reverberated throughout the halls.
Frank was flirtatious and it seemed for the first couple of months of school that he was really interested in me. But I happened to meet Sean in that first week of college too and ultimately ended up in a monogamous relationship very soon. Frankie and I remained friends and eventually he and Sean became friends too. And soon enough Frank came out of the closet. Which apparently everyone else in the world saw coming except for me. I was floored. Everyone else was all, "Of course he's gay! We all had bets on when he would come out!"
I'm really not a dense person at all—I've been involved in theatre since I was 8 years old and I've gotten very used to being around people with varying sexual preferences. But I think with Frank, I was just too close to the situation at hand. For a year I was keeping my distance thinking that he had an all-encompassing crush on me and that I had broken his heart. In actuality, he was harboring a crush for our English professor, Mr. Hayes.
So, Frank is gay. And to tell me so, he took me to this lovely dinner where he ordered us wine and Italian food and then spilled his guts about what living inside a closet for 20 years was like. And after that, our friendship grew so much. We're both living in New York now…and even though I live in Brooklyn and he lives in Harlem, we attempt to see each other more than just a couple times a year. Sometimes we're not so successful with this.
I took these headshots for Frank a few weeks ago and just looking at them makes my heart melt. He is SO BEAUTIFUL. The perfect subject. He's showing these to his agent this week, which makes me so incredibly nervous! Hopefully no refunds will be needed.

Hi Frank, > Is than an > issue in the "XHTML 1.0 transitional" schema or in your code ? Neither an issue in our schema, nor an issue in our code. Our schema validator in the current version simply verificates URIs in accordance to appropriate demands: http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlschema-2-20010502/#anyURI "such rules and restrictions are not part of type validity and are not checked by ·minimally conforming· processors. Thus in practice the above definition imposes only very modest obligations on ·minimally conforming· processors. " As you know, there is no so simple as you claim to provide a reliable URI check. At the moment Validome processes URI handling with help of a (simple) schema validation ...It's not exactly brilliant, but - as we know - there is no validaor at the moment, which handles it much better. It is necessary to develop another *concept* for handling URI check. There is someone in our team, who currently works on URI handling concepts in our validator. As "URI" is a nontrivial issue, it will take some more time for modelling and coding an acceptable solution for a sustainable URI check. This will be probably in V3.0 (current version: 2.6.1). BTW: Validome supports validation of IDN domains since May 2007: http://www.validome.org/validate/?uri=http://www.h%c3%a4ndewaschen.de This would also make sense for the W3C-Validator, as it can not handle IDN domain validation till now: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.h%C3%A4ndewaschen.de&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0Received on Monday, 22 October 2007 12:34:25 UTC

Instagram. YouTube. Facebook Live. These and others are driving the continued growth and interest in online video across multiple industries and applications. In 2017, we saw a 34% increase in worldwide video viewing, according to a report from Limelight Network.
Dec 18, 2007
The Wikimedia Foundation announced a partnership intended to make it possible to obtain high quality print and word processor copies of articles from Wikipedia and other wiki educational resources. The development of the underlying open source software is supported by the Open Society Institute and the Commonwealth of Learning, and led by PediaPress.com, a start-up company based in Germany. Deployment of the technology will happen in three stages. The first stage, already launched, is a public beta test running on WikiEducator.org of functionality for remixing collections of wiki pages and downloading them in the PDF format. WikiEducator is a project hosted by the Commonwealth of Learning and uses the same wiki technology as Wikipedia.
The second stage, planned for early 2008, will be the deployment of the technology on the projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, including Wikipedia. At this point, users will also be given the option to order printed copies of wiki content directly from PediaPress.com. The third stage, planned for mid-2008, will be the addition of the OpenDocument format for word processors to the list of export formats. The technology developed through this cooperation will be available under an open source license, free for anyone to use for any purpose. It ties into the MediaWiki platform, the open source technology that runs Wikipedia.

BIG news. Our little miss is using the potty like a champ right in time for her 3rd birthday. I love how mom awesome it feels to publish this news to the Internet. As much as I'd like to take all of the credit here, we have putting her in a school part time to thank. Want your kids to use the potty? Put them in a room with 8 other kids who do and they won't want to be the only one not doing it. This may not work for everyone but I'm so damn thankful it did for us because now that I'm not vomiting all day, I'm waddling and toilet training at this moment would suuuuuuck.
Some parents reward their children with candy and stickers for their potty success but my mom had the brilliant idea of showing her videos of kids jumping around like animals at an indoor trampoline park and told her that was the reward. Tell a wild child she can be wild and she will take your challenge on. Today she cashed in and it was magic. I was bummed because I didn't get to jump since apparently jumping around like an animal is frowned upon while growing a human in your body. I soaked in the joy from Leona though and her running to hug will and I in between jumping and say thank you because she was so happy. We felt like parental winners today, even when she cried for 30 min when we had to leave. Will said that means you know you she loved it haha WIN.
She also was able to indulge in 4 consecutive listens to An American Trilogy by Elvis and I wised up on round 4 and caught a bit of her sleepy performance.
Glory glory hallelujah! Our kid uses the potty!

I came back to Cebu very exhausted from Boracay
- sandwiching the last 2 days of 2013 and first 3 days of 2014.
One dayful of rest was enough. The friends who I've been chilling and drinking in Food Ave. with have decided that we were gonna wear a groupie shirt for Sinulog, which was just 2 weeks away when I arrived.
I missed Photoshop so I just dabbled into some design studies for our shirt, primarily.
I knew we were gonna pull a "varsity: theme for us "bardots", thus the layout below:
Of course who would be the first wearer? Queen Bardot herself Robinnie!
With Elger in the shop's fitting room.
with MAC model AR Duenas
Team Bardots at Alejandro's Sinulog party!
I also designed something for my BFFs for the festivities and especially for Lifedance 2014!
We wanted to do a 360 on the Sinulog shirt plus play up one famous hashtag in mocial media for the past weeks #PARAIBIGIN meaning "to be loved"
BFFs before Lifedance 2014
The face of SHERF! (reverse of 'fresh") Diosa Joy!
Jm yap in his KING V 2.o in the shirt during the revelries!
NOW here's the most unexpected part
of that boring afternoon.
I dont know what dawned on me that i started AND finished designing such design below
I posted the shirt layout first and then people started to ask for tank top versions.
I woke up and slept with these on my Facebook app.
We posted these official photos - people in my Team Sinulog 2014 shirts -

One of Barotac Viejo's most anticipated events, this year's 3rd annual Patubas Festival is sure to deliver a great day of free family fun located just 60.4 kilometers north of Iloilo.
Patubas is a municipal wide festival celebrating food heritage and culture in Barotac Viejo. It is a festival of feasting and merriment celebrating the abundance of blessings the people in the community enjoy. It is also a celebration to continue the local government's goal of reconnecting their people back to where their blessings come from.
The festival takes place from the 16th - 28th December 2011 and encourages residents from this town, the rest of Iloilo and beyond to gather together and experience an exciting range of culinary delights. Patubas Festival involves and educates people in the appreciation of good, clean, fair food while showcasing the town's ever expanding network of dedicated, enthusiastic producers and all the gastronomic delights this town has to offer.
With this year's theme, "Maghinugpong, Magsinadya para sa Mauswagon nga Banwa," the festivity is also dedicated to music, dance, self-expression, community and the arts. It highlights with a Parade, Lights-On, Sugba-Sugba, Fireworks Display and Live Band on its opening day with local artists and musicians through local entertainment, a variety of contests, and on-stage music offering family fun. Food booths offer a wide variety of quality goods and tasty food.
While opportunities to dine and indulge in a considerable selection of cuisine will abound at this year's Patubas Festival, the opportunity to appreciate the local talents will be equally as plentiful the previous years.
Barotac Viejo's annual festival is a family-oriented community event spanning the last two weekends in December. This year, the festival will offer 13 days of spectacular fun, delicious food and live entertainment that will showcase local organizations and volunteers that make the town a wonderful community to live in and visit.
The main goal of the festival is to have FUN and give the Ilonggos a great time out for all the family before the new year takes hold.

Galaxy Leggings

If you know me or have read my blog(s), you know that I love the galaxy and the galaxy trend, and that I've done it for years. I've wanted a pair of galaxy leggins for ages now, and I finally bought one. The leggings are from romwe.com and they're called the "starry night print" leggings. I wanted the leggings to be the statement/the centerpiece in this outfit, so I decided to style it simple.

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a good summer. The first post of the year is always business, so let's get started.
Montana History Conference Scholarships
Don't forget: We have travel scholarships available to teachers wishing to attend the 40th Annual Montana History Conference (held this year in Sidney) September 19-21. Scholarship applications are due September 4.

New to the blog? Posts are both key word searchable and tagged by subject—so if you are trying to find that information you received several weeks ago on, say, teaching with historic photographs, one easy solution would be to search by key word.
There are a couple years' worth of posts on this blog. While some of them are out of date (e.g., information about workshops), many of them have stood the test of time. By the numbers, here are a few of the readers' favorites.
- Top Ten Most Important Events in Montana History (later posts show survey results)

- Elementary teachers: A handy new guide aligns OPI's IEFA Lessons to Common Core...
- New: Montana Biography Page Designed for Young Students
- Lesson Plans on Mining and Primary Sources
Changes to the Blog
Some of the feedback I received from the survey I posted last year asked for clearer subheads and other markers to make it easier for busy teachers to decide what to read. I'm going to try to add this without completely undermining the blog's conversational style. I'm also thinking about doing shorter (and possibly more frequent) posts. Feel free to let me know what you think (all suggestions welcome).
Finally, if you have colleagues you think would enjoy this blog, please let them know about it. If they would rather subscribe to a listserv than read a blog, they can do that by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com, subject line: subscribe. (the information on the blog and the listserv are the same--just two different mechanisms of delivery).

WASHINGTON – Pending sales of existing homes rose by 5 percent in June compared with the previous month, a surprisingly positive sign for the beleaguered housing market, a real-estate trade group said Wednesday.
The National Association of Realtors said it was the largest monthly gain in more than three years and that increases in pending sales were reported across the country. However, Lawrence Yun, the trade group's senior economist, wasn't overly optimistic, and the pending sales index remained 8.6 percent below year-ago levels.
"It is too early to say if home sales have already passed bottom," Yun said in a statement.
Since there typically is a period of one to two months between when buyers and sellers sign a sales contract and when the property changes hands, pending home sales in June are likely to be completed between July and August.
The trade group's index of pending home sales rose to 102.4 in June, up from a downwardly revised figure of 97.5 in May. Wall Street had been anticipating a slight decrease, as analysts surveyed by Briefing.com forecast a decline of 0.6 percent from the original May number of 97.7.
The index, calculated since 2001, is based on a national sample that represents about 20 percent of existing home sales.
It is considered an indicator of how sales will perform in the coming weeks because it measures home purchases in which a sales contract has been signed, but the deal has not yet been closed.
The report is comes amid a flood of negative news about the housing market and the troubled mortgage industry. A housing index released Tuesday by Standard & Poor's said U.S. home prices fell for a fifth consecutive month in May, the index's steepest drop in about 16 years. The S&P/Case-Shiller index that covers 10 U.S. cities fell 3.4 percent in May from a year earlier in the steepest decline since the summer of 1991.
Demand for new and existing homes has been hurt as lenders tightened borrowing criteria after defaults started to rise in the market for mortgages offered to borrowers with spotty credit histories. Numerous mortgage companies are facing troubles.
New York-based American Home Mortgage Investment Corp. lost 90 percent of its market value on Tuesday after saying it may have to sell off its assets, and analysts were skeptical about its ability to survive.
Last month, the realtors' trade group projected that home prices and sales would bounce back next year after a dreary 2007.

This week's discussion topic will look at the connection between libraries and games – this seems to be as varied as the types of libraries themselves. From a traditional focus on board games to the rise of Minecraft in libraries, there is something in this topic for most of us.
I remember as an 8 year old playing games in my school library at lunch time on rainy days and with rising pressure on funding of libraries in many schools, there is plenty of people arguing that games and libraries can help with teaching core literacy and numeracy.
At the community level, many public libraries include video games in their spaces, to help bring in teenagers and young adults, either on a continuous basis or as a one off event to promote the library. Providing a safe, non commercial space for children and teens to socialise and play video games is just one reason public libraries in particular have jumped onto this.
Academic libraries are also getting in on the games and gaming act. Many universities teach game design, either as a full degree or as a subject specialisation within another course. However, games aren't always related to study. One University Library here in Sydney hosts an annual Play Day at the beginning of the academic year and of course Zombies continue to be a recurring theme in academic library games and activities around the world.
Over the next two weeks we will showcase some different libraries and the strategies and programs they are offering around games.
Do you have games in your library? If so, what sort? Board games are 'traditional' library games, do you still have them or has your library moved on entirely to video games? Are they for the purposes of teaching about games or are they a tool for marketing your library to children or teenagers? If your library doesn't have games, perhaps your local public library or the library at your children's school does so you can still join in the discussion. Or tell us what sort of games are played in schools, libraries and parks in your country?
Tell us about your library and games, in the comments below, on Facebook or on Twitter (@InterLibNet) using #interlibnet. We have a twitter chat coming up on this topic on Thursday 2 April (check the link to help work out your local time) and would love you to join in and share your stories and experiences.

Sophia Delphine and her fantasy petticoat
China Doll Strapless Petticoat
I'm not sure poor Sophia will ever get anything more to wear than her petticoat; it is so pretty I hate to cover it up!
I have another doll in the works, Lillian Hopewell, a young black woman of the 1890's. Right now she is just a head and shoulder plate:
Lillian has a story to tell; it will be exciting to hear what it is :-)

What a gorgeous petticoat can you tell me how you did her curls please?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Typs! The curls are done by chaining 21, then working two single crochet in each chain back to the wig cap. The crochet will curl naturally into lovely sausage curls :-)Delete
Thanks Beth! I really like the curls have just tried them and turned out great. I have done the Babes in Wool little sister and she turned out great.Delete

I think this is the best one yet--so sweetly lovely. I so admire the freedom you have to make the yarn reflect your intention Thank you for your blog and your generosity both in the patterns you offer and your posting of what you create. Endearing and inspiring.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the pattern Beth, I'm looking forward to trying it, someday in the distant future. Slacving away on the doll parts right now.ReplyDelete
She's so pretty. Looking forward to seeing the other wip doll.ReplyDelete

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Carolyn Bivens, hired in 2005 to be the first female commissioner of the LPGA Tour in part because of her marketing and advertising background as president-chief operating officer at Interpublic Group of Cos.' Initiative Media North America, is under fire from players as sponsors bail out of the sport.
Golfweek magazine reported yesterday that more than a dozen players have signed a letter to the LPGA Tour's board of directors asking that Ms. Bivens resign immediately. According to the story, several players, including stars Lorena Ochoa, Natalie Gulbis, Christie Kerr and Paula Creamer met last week while at the Jamie Farr Classic in Toledo, Ohio. The players have been stung by the losses of seven tour events since 2007 due to lack of sponsorship, including the Kapalua LPGA Classic in Hawaii, which was scheduled for October, but news came last week that it will not be held because there is no title sponsor.
The players' position is that the poor economy can't be the only factor in the loss of sponsors, even though virtually every sports league has been affected. The NFL and the NBA had layoffs, and the Arena Football League shut down its 2009 season due to the economy.
In addition to the seven lost events, six other LPGA tournaments this year are without sponsors. According to Golfweek, the players were told that only 10 tournament sponsor contracts out of 27 events have been signed for the 2010 season. Contracts are expiring for such notable events as the Wegman's LPGA event in Pittsford, N.Y., the Corning Classic in Corning, N.Y., and the 25-year old Jamie Farr Classic, hosted by the former actor on the TV series "MASH."
Ms. Bivens could not be reached for comment, but LPGA Chief Communications Officer David Higdon released this statement to Advertising Age:
"This is an important week for the players and the LPGA, and we're focused first and foremost on the U.S. Women's Open [which will begin on Thursday]. The LPGA players, staff and board all care deeply about our tour, and we're all working hard to achieve the same long-term objective to grow our tour. It's not in the best interest of women's golf to openly discuss internal matters, but you can rest assured that the LPGA and its board of directors consider any topic raised by the players seriously since we are a player organization. There are always differences of opinion on business matters, and as they arise, we resolve them as best we can in order to further the business of the LPGA."
Ms. Bivens has two years remaining on her contract. Executives close to the LPGA Tour said her salary is about $600,000 a year. Of the 13 members of the LPGA Tour board of directors, seven are players.
Already several names are being floated as possible successors to Ms. Bivens, including Cindy Davis, the president of Nike Golf, and Donna Orender, president of the WNBA.
Ms. Bivens' tenure has been marked by dubious decision making. In spite of her background in media, she immediately set off a firestorm in her first full season on the job when she instituted a policy that all stories and photos regarding the LPGA Tour first go through her office. The policy was rescinded within 24 hours after the Associated Press refused to staff the first round of the season opening event of 2005.
In a weekly e-mail roundtable, Sports Illustrated senior writers Alan Shipnuck and Gary Van Sickle addressed the problems, saying:
"It's clear Bivens's hard-charging personal style has rubbed a lot of players and corporate types the wrong way, but you can't fault her original vision: raise purses, improve the pension and retirement benefits, and expand the tour's TV presence. The problem seems to be that Bivens has stuck to her hard-line negotiating even as the economy has imploded. Sponsors are hard-pressed to maintain their current commitments, and she's asking for them to pour in more money for next year and beyond. ... Sponsors are dropping like autumn leaves. She didn't cause this problem, but her tactics made the problem worse, and quicker."
In an interview with Advertising Age the day she was named commissioner-elect in 2005, Ms. Bivens said her time at Initiative would help her in her new role. "Looking back in the rearview mirror, I feel like my previous 25 years' experience (has) prepared me for this job. This comes at the right time in my career. The fact that I work, and have worked, with all media forms with networks and publishers across a variety of platforms will benefit me," she said.
She added that her marketing efforts would "build on the momentum this organization has. It doesn't need to be fixed. It's not a turnaround. It's hot. It has a wide variety of personalities who are not only great golfers but interesting people as well."

TORONTO, April 7 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock market index jumped more than 100 points at the open on Monday as firm commodity prices and a healthy turn in investor sentiment propped up the market.

|Does this windmill make my town look fat?
But the town also remains a staple focal point for our cultural minders at the CBC. For years our national broadcaster marveled at the town's obstinately "dry" status, until they could triumphantly report on the recent rezoning that finally brought in a liquor store and one or two charming pubs with patio/sidewalk seating.
Most recently, Steinbach hosted its first Pride Parade, amid contentious local politics. I wasn't in attendance, but friends tell me the overall vibe was stratospherically positive. Lots of folks marching in public support of their LGBTQ family and neighbours, including several congregations whose position on a hot-button topic like gay marriage might still be considered oppositional.
It's some months after the fact, but coverage on the matter continues to peeve me. I've worked in the press, I know what a story-hunter has to do to make a buck. The easiest, laziest way to frame and sell a story is to pit one party against another, and "clarify" the issue by presenting its polar extremes (it's the temptation our literati face as well, not always successfully). Writers have their biases, and they don't often favour (language warning for the link ahead) "backwards" rural white folk of a socially cautious disposition. Consequently, we heard a pile of David and Goliath stories where everybody, including the slob at the laptop, thinks they're a David.
So no links to those ink-stained wretches who made a quick buck off the perceived spectacle. If you haven't read that stuff, you can find it in a heartbeat.
Instead, here is Josiah Neufeld, writing for The Walrus, doing an exceedingly decent job of giving you the inside scoop. It gets my highest recommendation. (Tip-o-the-hat to my aunt for bringing it to my attention.)

You were a tiny seed, implanted in my womb,
Cocooning underneath my heart, emerging in full bloom!
I was the vessel chosen, to harbor your life in mine,
Entrusted I protected, a second heart inside.
Although I was the vessel, from which to life you came,
In giving you a life, a lifelong love I've gained.
And underneath my heart, two footprints still remain,
Which remind me of the baby you once were & of the woman you became.

White Anatolian Shepherd
Available for Adoption through Akbash Rescue
Klondike is a gorgeous young white Anatolian Shepherd. His personality is as stunning as his looks! Klondike has not met anyone or anything he does not love....dogs, cats people, anyone who will say hi is fine with this big fellow! He was found with a Pyrenees buddy and impounded in such a small shelter it was really a shed. No internet access and no hope of adoption or rescue. Were it not for a concerned local citizen that tries to get help for the dogs in this shelter, Klondike's time would have been up! He was taken into rescue and has had the full treatment! Shots, neuter, bath....he is heartworm negative and a healthy young, (approx one and a half), year old male. It would not be possible to find a nicer or more magnificent dog! Klondike awaits his new forever home!
For information on Klondike contact Akbash rescue coordinator Janet Davis, cell# 510-410-0149 Adoption application, reference checks and home visit required for adoption.

Keys get lost among the heavy percussions which hammer a rhythm of lead and "The Sensational Fall of the Master Builder" burst out with all the power that we know of this boiling track from Finnegan's Wake. The tone is set. Although very loud, the music of the Dream flows like magical in our ears. We know that we will attend to quite a concert. "Dolphin Dance", "The Cliffs of Sydney" and "Song of the Whale, Part II" follow with all the correctness of their lyrical approaches. The interpretations are simply wonderful. The synths are fluid and harmonious while the rhythmic, sometimes too loud, adds an impressive dimension to these titles builder of memories. These too powerful rhythms bury all the melodious nuances of "Ayumi's Loom" and "Logos" (which I recognize hardly) but return justice to the great "Marmontel Riding on a Clef" as well as the rocky "Oriental Haze". After a very long version of "Love on a Real Train", where Edgar and Thorsten gave a beautiful duel synth/sequences, the vibrating interpretation of "Underwater Twilight" comes to loop the loop of the memories from the 86 tour. Bernhard Beibl who is as much cutting as Zlatko Perica, but a bit quieter, gave quite a performance on "Homeless" where the heavy and incisive guitar solos awaken memories of the 92 tour. After a rather rocky version of "Going West", "One Night in Space" leads us to one of the highlights of the evening; the striking version of "The Silver Boots of Bartlett Green".
Then came along Edgar. Dressed in black, as all the band, he sat alone on his virtual piano (showed by a big TV screen behind him). Lonely and looking so fragile he starts dropping notes that comfort the audience which went mad when we recognized knows the classic of the classics; "Ricochet". After came "Lady Monk" and "Long Island Sunset", which bring to light Linda Spa and her flute, while "Blue Bridge" came to loop another timeless loop of the 92 tour with a splendid duet consisted of Linda Spa and Edgar Froese who were exchanging solos of saxophone and guitar. Edgar is as well moving as Linda can be sensual. That was another highlight and still other great moments were waiting for us after the nice version of "Alchemy of the Heart" where, dressed in his melancholic air, Thorsten Quaeschning frees the first notes of "Warsaw in the Sun". I still have tears in my soul while writing this. Me who always dreamed of seeing TD played "Warsaw in the Sun", there I was and there it was. What a great moment that will be engraved in my heart and memories for years. It's a strong and powerful interpretation which allies the romance of this classic to the passion of TD's last year's musical orientations. And the excerpt "Horizon" glued me in my dreams with another superb musical intrusion in this epic title. There was this strange duel violin (Hoshiko Yamane) / percussions (Iris Camaa) before that "White Eagle" made vibrate our backbone, while "Legend's Loved by the Sun" should have remained a legend. "Stratosfear ' 95" encloses this 2nd part with a heavy and hammering version which will resound in our ears much later the Encores which includes an interpretation of Vivaldi's 4 Seasons, a title sung by Thorsten Quaeschning (to I am told that it was The Doors' Crystal Ship, I would have thought of Cry Little Sister from Under Cover) and a lightning version of "Phaedra".
It's nearly 200 minutes of music, souvenirs and nostalgias that paraded in my ears on this evening of June 20th, 2012 at La Place des Arts. It's also a 4th concert for 4 decades and as much different periods that make the link between them. Because there is always a vital lead in the music of Tangerine Dream. A link which makes that even if it's quite different, everything is at the same time alike. And this thread is Edgar Froese. You should have to see the old silver fox, with his eyes filled with melancholy and pride, guided his 5 musicians with a surprising complicity in a setlist which reflects admirably all the dimension of Tangerine Dream. Yes I shall have loved to hear more classics, but not at the price of excluding some jewels such as "The Sensational Fall of the Master Builder", "Marmontel Riding on a Clef" or still "The Silver Boots of Bartlett Green". The solution would have been that the Dream plays more than 4 hours, even 5 hours, to satisfy all those who are ardent supporters of this group which known how to navigate against all odds for more than 40 years. And when the only negative point towards this event is the lack of time, even after more than 3 hours of music, it does signify that the rendezvous with the magic of Tangerine Dream was more than a simple success!

An Experimental Study of Effects of Overlaying Tissues on HIFU LesionCenter for Nondestructive Evaluation Conference Papers, Posters and Presentations
Document TypeConference Proceeding
Conference9th International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound
Publication Date8-1-2006
Geolocation(51.751724, -1.255285)
AbstractUnderstanding the effect of overlaying tissues on HIFU lesion is crucial for estimating HIFU dose distribution at a target tissue. We have run a series of experiments to systematically observe the effects of the overlaying tissues on the HIFU beam and ultimately the lesion created in the target tissue. First, we mapped out the HIFU transducer beam (in low power) under water without and with different overlaying tissue layers. Then, we performed a series of experiments in high power to create lesions in target tissues (e.g., liver) without and with overlaying tissues (e.g. muscle). The lesions are characterized by slicing the tissues and reconstructing the 3D lesion from calibrated pictures of the target tissue slices. The low power beam measurements show significant effects in terms of severe beam wave‐field amplitude distortion due to phase aberration introduced by velocity inhomogeneity in the overlaying tissues. These results compare well qualitatively with the computational models. The results from the high power HIFU lesions in a similar setup using various tissues, including liver and muscle, provide understanding of the significance of phase aberration in overlaying tissues and could prove useful towards high precision HIFU therapy.
