Adele's tour nerves
- Bang Showbiz
- 25 February 2016
Adele is excited about going on tour but admitted she is also nervous
Adele is nervous about her upcoming tour.
While the 'Hello' hitmaker is happy with how rehearsals have been progressing, she admitted there will be "a few bumps along the way".
Speaking at the Brit Awards in London on Wednesday (24.02.16), where she picked up four awards, Adele told BANG Showbiz: "I am looking forward to it but I'm nervous. I'm starting to think I'm crazy.
"The shows we were in production for before I went to Los Angeles for the Grammys were great. It's really exciting. It's really fun and very different from anything I've done. We are in such a big room and I wanted to make it intimate.
"I'm excited I just want to be healthy and be good for everyone. There will be a few bumps along the way because I sing live."
Meanwhile, Adele also admitted she felt "worn out emotionally" after winning four Brit Awards.
The 27-year-old singer won awards for British Female Solo Artist, British Single for 'Hello' and Mastercard British Album Of The Year for '25' and also took home the BRITs Global Success Award, which was presented by astronaut Tim Peake live from the International Space Station.
She also closed the show with an incredible performance of 'When We Were Young' but admitted that she was in a state of shock.
She said: "I feel a bit worn out emotionally. It feels absolutely incredible. I was hoping to win one but to get that many was amazing. I'm very lucky.
"I've watched it since I was last here and had a bit of a yearning just to be here and not nominated. I missed the bustle of it all."

(FOX News) - This kid was no killer — but some callous Bronx cops sure treated him like one.
Instead of earning himself a simple trip to the principal's office, a terrified 7-year-old boy was hauled out of class, handcuffed like a hardened criminal and "interrogated" by police for a grueling 10 hours — all over a playground dispute involving $5, his family is charging.
>>weigh in on our Facebook page
"My son was crying, 'Mommy, it wasn't me! Mommy, it wasn't me!' I never imagined the cops could do that to a child. We're traumatized," Wilson Reyes' distraught mom, Frances Mendez told The Post last night.
"Imagine how I felt seeing my son in handcuffs!'' she said. "It was horrible. I couldn't believe what I was seeing."
The bizarre overreaction by cops came after the child had been accused of swiping $5 from another student after school.
The money, which was supposed to be used for a school trip that never happened, had fallen on the ground in front of Wilson and two other boys, and one of them scooped it up.
Wilson was falsely accused of taking it, and he scuffled with one of the kids.
Officers showed up at PS X114 on Dec. 4 at about 10:20 a.m., and handcuffed and held Wilson in a room there for four hours. They then hauled him off to the 44th Precinct station house for another six hours of interrogation and verbal abuse, according to a $250 million claim against the city and the NYPD.
The boy protested his innocence, to no avail.

One thing that LT has said he wants to be is the featured back, which is one reason most people thought he would be released or traded this offseason. There arent many teams that would be able to do that for him, so if that is indeed a huge part of who he signs with then the Lions could have a shot at him if they want him. And on a 1-2 year deal i would like bringing him in, I dont think there is any question that he is better then Kevin Smith still, and the Lions shouldnt draft a RB in this draft, and probably not next year either. Would be a solid guy to fill in until we draft our RB of the future so to speak

If we are going to take a WR now they want it to be an elite one or none at all for the time being, which is understandable due to our depth at WR and our needs elsewhere, but the kid looks like a player to me with some of the most impressive have I have seen in a HS highlight tape. I'm happy to have the kid and hope he has a huge senior season and has all the other big time schools wishing they had offered him earlier

How do you drink your vodka? The most likely answer is, with lemonade. That is how most people like it. A small Northwest Distillery has combined both vodka and lemonade in one bottle. Hello Lovely is a strawberry lemonade made with all natural flavors and pure cane sugar. Having a pre mixed cocktail in a bottle not only makes it convenient but standardizes every drink you pour.
This cocktail is vodka based and 34 proof. The makers, Northwest Distillery makes the vodka themselves. They sell their Liquid vodka for a reasonable price of under$20. Meghan Zonich is the owner of the Northwest Distillery and said in a press release "Liquid Vodka is successful because it is a great vodka for a very reasonable price. Customers also appreciate that we are a Pacific Northwest, family owned business."
Cory and Meghan Zonich remodeled a 1940s era barn in Warren, Oregon and have been producing the spirits from there. In terms of quality they have maintained very high standards. It is not just the consumers who have given a thumbs up to their spirits but the industry has also acknowledged the quality of their vodka. It won a bronze medal at Sanfrancisco and a silver at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in London.

WA - Jami Sherer, 26, Redmond, 30 Sept 1990 * S. Sherer guilty*
The Doe Network:
Case File 276DFWA
Jami Sherer
Missing since September 30, 1990 from Redmond, King County, Washington.
Classification: Endangered Missing
Vital Statistics
�Date Of Birth: December 1, 1963
�Age at Time of Disappearance: 26 years old
�Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 5'1; 95 lbs.
�Distinguishing Characteristics: White female. Brown hair dyed blonde; brown eyes.
�AKA: Jami Hagel.
�Marks Scars: Breast Implants.
�Dentals: X-rays Available
Circumstances of Disappearance
Jami met Steven Sherer in 1986. He had a prior criminal record for abusing and hospitalizing a previous girlfriend at the time. His file included documented threats, harassment complaints and restraining orders from the same woman. Jami's family and friends noticed an obvious change in her behavior after becoming romantically involved with Steven. They stated that she became withdrawn and dyed her hair blonde at his insistence, along with receiving breast implants. She was also fired from a job at that time due to poor attendance. All signs pointed to an abusive relationship and Jami's loved ones tried to convince her not to marry Steven. However, they wed in 1987. Their son was born in 1988.
By 1987, Steven had racked up more criminal charges on his record. He was convicted of choking and assaulting a police officer in a drunken rage. He was also treated for alcoholism. Steven had been labeled as a habitual offender by the late 1980's, mainly due to a string of theft convictions and traffic violations. Another troubling sign came in the form of Steven's consistent invitations to friends and his advertisements in adult magazines for group sexual activities with himself and his wife.
It is known that Jami was seeing another man who was a friend of Steven's at the time she disappeared.
Jami apparently had enough of Steven's abuse by September of 1990. The couple had been arguing for some time when she finally drove to her parents home nearby with their son on September 29, 1990. She told her parents that she intended to leave Steven the following day and planned to move into her parents house. Steven telephoned Jami later that evening and asked her to return to the couple's residence, she refused and informed him she wanted a divorce. According to Jami's mother, Steven did not accept that answer and pleaded with Jami to meet him the following day. She agreed to meet him outside of their home the next morning.
Jami phoned her mother shortly after 08:30 AM on September 30, 1990. She left their son in her parents care. She said that Steven grabbed her purse and ran off shortly after meeting him. Jami also said that she figured Steven was en route to the couple's home and she intended to go there to reclaim her purse. Jami called her parents again at approximately 11:45 AM that morning. She said that Steven was at their residence and she was heading back to her parents house after stopping for lunch at Taco Time, a fast food restaurant. Her mother told investigators that Jami did not seem to be distressed at the time of her final phone call. Jami has never been seen nor heard from again.
Steven called Jami's parents approximately 30 minutes after they last heard from their daughter. He asked to speak to his wife; after being informed she was not there, he telephoned them again 15 minutes later and again at 18:00. According to authorities, Steven was already informing his own family members that Jami was missing by this time. He arrived at Jami's parents home later that evening to collect their son, but returned three hours later. Jami's parents stated that Steven told them he was "too upset" to return to the couple's home for the night. They allowed him to stay at their home occasionally throughout the next week with their grandson.
Jami's 1980 Mazda RX7 was discovered as an abandoned vehicle in a church parking lot in Shoreline, Washington several days after her initial disappearance. Her purse was missing from the car. A suitcase with her clothing was located in the vehicle but her underwear was not included with her belongings. There was no trace of Jami at the scene.
Friends told police that Steven began acting very strangely immediately following Jami's disappearance. He frequented bars after his wife vanished and wore her panties tied around his arm. Steven also wore her necklace around his neck. He told friends the trinkets made him feel "closer to Jami."
Steven took over Jami's personal finances the week following her disappearance and cashed all of her assets out. His sister informed police that she had seen a "large red spot" on the carpet of Steven and Jami's home the week she went missing. Investigators found evidence that the carpet in question had been repeatedly steam cleaned and a new piece of carpet was placed on the floor. Witnesses stated that Steven hired a carpet cleaning service the week Jami disappeared. A friend claimed he saw a shovel in Steven's truck the day after Jami vanished, an object which had never previously been in the vehicle.
Steven reportedly asked his sister to arrange an appointment for him with a priest several years after his wife disappeared. According to his sister, Steven told her he had done something "bad" and wished to confess.
Steven has been under suspicion in Jami's case since the beginning of the investigation. He has denied any role in her disappearance and has insisted he is innocent.
Steven was found guilty of first degree murder in June 2000. He was sentenced to 60 years in prison. The verdict makes Sherer one of only a handful of people in Washington state history to be convicted of murder when a body has not been found.

Plato and the Question of Beauty
Publication Year: 2008
Drew A. Hyland, one of Continental philosophy's keenest interpreters of Plato, takes up the question of beauty in three Platonic dialogues, the Hippias Major, Symposium, and Phaedrus. What Plato meant by beauty is not easily characterized, and Hyland's close readings show that Plato ultimately gives up on the possibility of a definition. Plato's failure, however, tells us something important about beauty -- that it cannot be reduced to logos. Exploring questions surrounding love, memory, and ideal form, Hyland draws out the connections between beauty, the possibility of philosophy, and philosophical living. This new reading of Plato provides a serious investigation into the meaning of beauty and places it at the very heart of philosophy.
Published by: Indiana University Press
Series: Studies in Continental Thought
Preface and Acknowledgments
The question of beauty is the subject of lively discussion and debate today, particularly but not only as it pertains to the arts. Part of the intention of this book is to consider the extent to which Plato, as happens so often, was instrumental in setting the terms of the discussion and debate about beauty as it plays out in the history of western philosophy. ...
This will be a book about the question of beauty in the Platonic dialogues, but as Plato himself will make abundantly clear, the question of beauty cannot be adequately addressed except within a context of a whole host of other issues. Hegel may be the modern philosopher who best articulated the recognition that a consideration of any moderately rich issue as if it stood by itself, ...
1 The Question of Beauty in the Hippias Major
The Hippias Major appears to be one of those many dialogues, often called ''Socratic'' dialogues or, by a further leap of speculation, ''early'' dialogues, in which Socrates pursues a given topic with the apparent aim of achieving a definition of the relevant term. ...
2 The Question of Beauty in the Symposium
We face a delicate task in turning now to the Symposium and Phaedrus. On the one hand, we want to pay particular attention to the way the question of to kalon emerges in these dialogues, since that is the focus of the present volume. But on the other, if we simply ignored everything but their references to beauty ...
3 The Question of Beauty in the Phaedrus
As my frequent prefigurative remarks have indicated, the Phaedrus will develop and enrich the many important issues raised but left more or less undeveloped in the Hippias Major and Symposium regarding beauty, its connection to eros, and eventually, its connection to philosophy. ...
4 The Second and Seventh Letters
I addressed in the introduction what many regard as the most vexing question regarding the Letters, the question of their authenticity. The gist of my position is that the issue, quite especially for us in this time of the ''decentering'' of authorial authority, is less whether the Letters were really written by the one man, Plato, ...
5 The Critique of Rhetoric and Writing in the Phaedrus
In a clear prefiguration of the Kantian notion of critique, the Phaedrus could be said to be in some measure a critique of logos. We have already seen certain aspects of that critique played out in the palinode. It will now be completed in the critique of rhetoric and writing that constitutes almost the entire second half of the Phaedrus. ...

Kuala Lumpur & Penang
05.03.2013 - 10.03.2013
Hmmmm mixed feelings on Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur I did not like very much but Penang gave Malaysia some good points. I think my problem with KL was that I had come from Singapore which was very clean, not smelly and it felt safe to walk around. It was the opposite in KL, dirty, smelly and I did not feel safe as a girl to walk around alone and for the first time on my travels I felt the need to walk with my rucksack on my front! But don't get me wrong some places in KL were really nice as was my hostel just not the area outside my hostel.
Travel from Singapore to KL went without a hitch. I went by coach (Aeroline if anyone is looking for transport) and got food, drink and films to watch which made the 5 1/2hrs pass very quickly! The hostel was nice, Reggae Mansion (thank you Jenna!) we had a big dorm room with pods and the beds were just smaller then a small double so lots of space! Fancy dress party on the night I arrived so last minute me and the girls in the room grabbed the free magazines and tape et voila a dress! Needless to say it did not stay on! I also won 30ringit towards food and drink which meant a good meal at last!
My first proper day in KL was spent walking around (rucksack on front), trying to avoid all the spitting men and holes that were in the ground I did see the old railway station and their National Hindu mosque. We had to wear massive robes to cover up for respect. It was very clean inside the mosque, not as spectacular as I thought it might be but interesting. I got lunch for 1GBP which was great, so happy I did the expensive countries first! Spent my food and drink voucher in the evening with new lovely girls in my dorm.
I signed up for a day tour today with the hostel so I think seven of us went around to locations with a guide in an AIR CONDITIONED mini van, this was probably the hottest day in Malaysia! Really good day, it felt a lot better visiting places in a big group and I got to see lots of KL. We went to -
A Chinese Temple; amazing sculptures, lanterns everywhere and what seemed to be about 10 weddings all happening at the same time?
National Hindu Mosque; the same one as the day before so I got to wear the pretty robe twice!
Little India; for photo's, very colourful streets and good fruit!
The KL art gallery; this was ok, I wouldn't go out of my way to get there though
The palace; the king was home too! We also got there in time to see the changing of the guards, couldn't go into the palace though just up to the gate.
Le Monument Nationale; which was in memory of the world wars
Batu Caves; this was my favourite place. We had lunch before climbing 272 steps to get into the caves where worships happen. art work embedded into the rocks all around.
Chocolate shop; enough said!
After the long day we all met up again to go into China town for food, the best sweet and sour I have yet had in Asia!
The following day a few of us from the day tour went into KL to find a mall which had a theme park in, we failed and could not find it anywhere! So instead we headed to the central market to have a look around at all the stools then onto the Patronus Towers to take photo's. We didn't go up them as it was expensive for what you got view wise and we had decided the KL Tower was the better option, that way we could look down on the Patronus Towers. We got to the KL tower before sunset so had really nice views as it went down.
Travelled with the same coach company to Penang so had the same nice experience of just sitting on a comfy seat! The landscape was a good distraction too, nice to look out as the country went by! To get to Penang we crossed Asia's longest bridge, another nice hostel which is always a nice thing to arrive too! Already a lot cleaner and less smelly than KL thank goodness! Spent the first day at the beach which took about an hour to get to by bus, very windy roads too which did not make me feel to great! Beautiful beach and I think the beaches only get better! Day two was spent in Georgetown, where the hostel was and it is their biggest town, wondered around for the day and went to the museum and Fort Cornwallis, the first fort of the British. I have fallen in love with sweet cake, so yummy and only 0.50ringit! Really nice day and then the rain came and stayed until about 9pm, such a heavy downpour!
So all in all I have had a good time in Malaysia but I think it was the new friends I met that helped with that! I am in no hurry to go back to KL and I have done Penang now! I think I would like to see more of Malaysia but that will not be on this trip!
Thailand next!

The eastern Oregon city of Pendleton is known as the home of Pendleton Woolen Mills and the Pendleton Roundup, but some are hoping it will soon become known as a hub of activity for the drone industry.
Last week, Pendleton hosted the Robotics Rodeo, a conference for companies making drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles. Earlier this year, the Army National Guard got FAA approval to fly drones out of the East Oregon Regional Airport, based in Pendleton. The city's economic development coordinator is hoping the FAA chooses Pendleton as one of six drone test sites in the country. This would open the door to drone manufacturers who are seeking air space to test unmanned aircraft developed for the agricultural industry and other commercial uses. The FAA decision is expected later this year.

text: by Tiana Feng I actually listened to this album easier than I thought. Usually electro music gets too "UNST UNST UNST" beats and an entire album would get me bored, but this was not the case. This one actually managed to keep my attention through track by track. The album is full of quite lengthy songs staring with Snow the shortest. The track features some vocals with a female saying "lifting me hire" in an airy voice in a continuous way that builds tension with the background sounds that seem to get higher until the song that doesnt get resolved til track 2. If you only listened to the track, you get cut off in the most awkward way. The whole CD is meant to be listened as a whole, and listening to a single track would not do it justice. Escape the Velocity the second track of the album is 11 minutes and 57 seconds and holds many interesting events with continuous layering of sound that turns into the sudden trademark Chemical Bros. dance beat. This track is long but is so interesting you almost think its more than one track until it becomes like the beginning with some funny noises. There are such a mixing of styles that a few tracks such as K+D+B remind me of Sigur Ros and allows this album to appeal to people who aren't just into electro.

H&M recently launched its Conscious Collection through a series of parties held in several cities, and two lovely young starlets — namely Victoria Justice and Jessica Lowndes — were spotted attending two of their events.
Victoria hosted the shindig in Los Angeles, while Jessica graced the red carpet in Miami. Coincidentally (or not), both girls wore black dresses, painted their toe nails a bright orange-red color, and chose black ankle-strap heels to go with their outfits.

Now, the obvious question is, whose outfit looked better? And whose heels were hotter?
Both ladies were dressed in pieces from the H&M Conscious line. In fact, even Victoria's sandals are from H&M. They're called the "Sandalettes" and retail for an affordable $49.95.

Aldi is to open its new store in Ellon next month, the Times can reveal.
The discount chain has announced that the grand opening of the town centre supermarket will be on Thursday, September 25.
The building at the riverside location has been steadily taking shape over the last few months and the company this week confirmed the opening date.
Jonathan Kenny, Aldi store operations director, said: "Aldi is due to open its newest store in Ellon on Thursday, September 25, and there will be a range of offers and prizes up for grabs on opening day for local shoppers to take advantage of.
"We have already recruited 10 staff in Ellon and the surrounding area, and are targeting a total of 30 jobs for the store with recruitment still on-going."
Aldi received positive feedback from the local community during consultation on plans for the site.
The development was given the go-ahead by Formartine councillors last year and work started in the spring.
Traders are hoping the new store will spark an influx of shoppers to the town centre.
Ellon Community Council has also welcomed progress with the new supermarket.
Chairman Sandy McDougall said: "We believe that it will add to the choice of outlets that residents and visitors may use and bring competition to the local retail market.
"We anticipate that it will attract people to the town centre in addition to shopping at Aldi."
The former Haldanes supermarket in Ythan Terrace had lain empty since the summer of 2011 and there were repeated calls for it to be developed.
Aldi has been recruiting for the new operation and also for its outlet in Inverurie's Harlaw Road, which is due to open next Thursday (August 14).
The company last month revealed plans to open a new store in Peterhead.
Bosses announced that work is scheduled to begin on the derelict Kirkburn Mill next year, bringing dozens of new jobs to the town.

I wasn't sure I'd like these novels, given that they are set in 19th century Bangor and focused on lots of family problems and challenges, but from the very first page of Pink Chimneys, I was hooked. And after finishing that book, I moved quickly to Hamlin's follow-up novel, Abbott's Reach.
My thanks to Islandport Press in Yarmouth for republishing these novels in paperback, making them easily accessible for all of us.
Ardeana grew up in Bingham in the 1950s and 1960s, when logs were still driven down our rivers. And river drivers are included in her first novel, set in Bangor, where the main character, Fanny, has a baby out of wedlock after being abandoned by the guy she expected to marry, and began working in a brothel, the infamous house with the pink chimneys. There's a lot more to that story but I don't want to spoil it for you.
Ardeana wrote for many years for the Bangor Daily News, is the author of three previous novels, and now lives in Hampden. I can only hope she's working on a follow-up novel to Abbott's Reach.
That sequel to Pink Chimneys is an equally compelling story of Fanny's life after Pink Chimney's, daughter Elizabeth that Fanny abandoned, and Elizabeth's daughter "M". These families spend a lot of time at sea, and after marrying, M and her husband sail all the way to Hawaii, where they have a truly amazing experience.
When you pick up either of these novels, make sure you have enough time because you won't want to stop reading!

Cass City school board approves new student/staff relations policy
Published 8:00 pm, Monday, August 28, 2006
CASS CITY In an effort to prevent any future issues, the board of education here approved an updated student-staff relationship policy at its Monday meeting.
The updated Cass City policy defines immoral student-staff relationship behavior as conduct which offends the morals of the community and is a bad example to youth whose ideals a teacher is supposed to foster and elevate. The policy lists three examples of such behavior, including but not limited to verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature directed to or in view of students; sexual or romantic contact with students of any age, for a period of one year upon the departure of the student from school; providing minors with alcohol, tobacco or other illegal substances.
The policy states district employees and administrators have a responsibility to avoid any apparent or actual conflict between their professional responsibilities and personal relationships with students and any immoral behavior or causing the impression of immorality is strictly forbidden.
Disciplinary sanctions, up to and including termination of employment, will be imposed on staff who violate the standards of conduct, the policy states.
Superintendent Ron Wilson said the student-staff relationship policy has been a recent topic of discussion at superintendent meetings within the Tuscola Intermediate School District. Cass City had its own student-staff relationship policy issue after former Band Director Doug Burtch was charged with criminal sexual conduct in Tuscola and Sanilac counties. In April, he was acquitted of charges in Sanilac County. Burtch resigned from his position after the Sanilac trial after he faced non-renewal of his contract. Wilson previously said hed recommended non-renewal because of concerns regarding Burtch, including a relationship he had with a student soon after she graduated. Burtch faces an October trial in Tuscola County.
Also during Mondays meeting, the board adopted a budget policy revision which states budget review will become a routine agenda item at future school board meetings in order to keep a closer eye on expenditures to make sure the district doesnt over expend more than 1 percent of the budget. This update was prompted by a letter to the board from the Michigan Department of Education. The department stated it had recently reviewed its procedures related to its compliance with the federal Uniform Budgeting and Accounting Act, which establishes budgeting requirements for districts and oversight requirements for the state education department. The letter stated Section 20 of the act requires the state department to take actions for districts that are not in compliance with the act, including over expending the budget authorized by the board. The department stated it has set a threshold of 1 percent that the district can over expend its general fund budget. According to a preliminary 2005-06 audit received by the district, Cass City over expended its budget by 4 percent, which amounts to $500,000, Wilson said. He said this was because of unexpected increased costs in various areas of the budget, including electrical and gas. The board took action last week to reduce the 2006-07 budget by $200,000 by cutting the high school industrial arts teacher and not replacing the assistant high school/middle school principal position. The person in this position, Aaron Fernald, moved into the elementary principal position.

By Spc. Jason Everett, HHC, 541st CSSB, 96SBDE
CAMP TAJI, Iraq — On Sept. 23, Soldiers from the 3666th Maintenance Company took over the mission at the empty container collection point on Camp Taji. The 3666 is just one of the companies attached to the 541st Combat Sustainment Support Battalion here on Camp Taji, accomplishing great missions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Sgt. Lindsey Ainslie of Waterford, Miss., and the non-commissioned officer in charge of the ECCP, leads this hard working group of five Soldiers every day to ensure their mission is accomplished to the fullest.
"I really feel we are accomplishing something great out here" said Ainslie, "every container that gets shipped out of here puts us one step closer towards accomplishing the Army's overall logistical mission. I could not ask for a better team; the Soldiers here have really thrown themselves into their work".
The primary mission of the ECCP is to collect and assess used or damaged containers that need to be repaired and redistributed. The Soldiers at the ECCP repair level one damage to the containers as needed. Level one just means damage that can be serviced with tools and methods within the resources of Camp Taji.
"A dent for instance is something we can handle rather simply" said Pfc. David Dekowski of Tempo, Ariz., and normally a wheeled vehicle mechanic, but is now one of the members of this small yet well formed and close connected group. "If the damage is above our level or resources we process the container for shipping to Joint Base Balad for more extensive work".
The containers that are already serviceable or have been repaired by these Soldiers get shipped back to Kuwait either empty or full of retrograde. They are then put on a ship and sent back to the United States so that units continue to have containers with which to facilitate their movements. It is a seldom mentioned mission, yet a very big part of operations as these containers are used to ship equipment, personal items, and sensitive items for units across the military.
Dekowski said, "Our work is starting to get noticed out here and people have actually started to ask us to look at their containers that are still in use. This shows us that people understand the importance of what we do".
The commander of the 541st, Lt. Col. Paul Dismer, of Morgan City, La., looked in on his Soldiers and was very pleased with what he saw. Spc. Justin Bowerman of Phoenix, Ariz., who is also normally a wheeled vehicle mechanic, received a coin from the battalion commander after he recited the commanders "Four Charges" without hesitation, showing that though the Soldiers are working out in hot, wet, and muddy conditions they remain highly motivated and connected to their unit.
"When you work with such a great team, morale tends to stay high regardless of the challenges we see on a daily basis" commented Ainslie. So, when loading containers with mission essential equipment and not to mention those extra large items wanted but which could not fit into duffle bags, remember this seldom mentioned yet mission critical duty these Soldiers are accomplishing for Soldiers.

I have frequently noticed people commenting that there are many unanswered questions but science may not be able to provide all answers.
I have always placed complete faith in science and have probably never thought in this direction or probably I am ignorant. Considering that science deals only with the nature, it is understood that it cannot be asked to find answers to questions about the supernatural. After finding the truth about the origin of the universe and the origin of life, the remaining questions are in my opinion just missing links. What are such questions then that science will not answer and why? What are its limitations? Time? Funds? Human resources? Lack of interest or efforts on the part of humans? Or is the present knowledge inadequate for further research? I would like my more enlightened friends here to educate me on this subject.
Views: 863
Ultimately is there anything out of or beyond nature anyway? Does the supernatural even exist? It is possible to conceptualize that which we cannot sense or measure if we are clever enough to ask the right question. Who is going to set the boundaries to the unknowable? With so, so much to explore of the unknown, isn't asking what is unknowable at this point a bit premature?
As for testability of string theory, one aspect would require energies a hundred trillion times the largest energy accessible in the LHC. To give you some idea of the difficulties :)
Time and funds will always be available to answer questions that people are concerned about or even just curious.
I am curious about the persistant human need for believing in The God Hypothesis (TGH) in the face of overwhelmong missing evidence. However, that reearch question - why the majority still needs, craves, seeks to prove TGH and propagate it at great cost and pain - is beginning to attract serious researchers. More on this when I am smarter. . .
Dan Barker (AN member) gives a good perspective on this. He's someone who really did believe in Christianity, did have a feeling God was there when he prayed - unlike many atheists who never "grokked" religion, have no idea why someone would believe in God. He came to realize, all the same, that his religious experiences were all inside his head, and because of his religious past he can tell you what makes the religious people tick.
He calls God-belief a very powerful and convincing delusion. Perhaps we can be sorry for the people who are so powerfully grabbed by that delusion, whose whole lives are warped around it.
Also what science can figure out depends on what research gets funded. Usually you have to persuade some government organization that a question is worth answering.
Yes, funds are becoming scarce and the big bang and evolution have satisfied the questions 'Where we come from?' and 'Who we are?' to the satisfaction of most people and this together with the scarcity of funds may become a limitation in future.
Oh yes, physics especially is very expensive, they build instruments - particle accelerators - a mile wide or so.
And astronomy and planetary science are expensive too - missions to Mars, Hubble space telescope are not cheap ...
There does not seem to be any shortage of funds to throw away on a losing war in Afghanistan, however. $45 billion of military equipment will simply be abandoned there.
Science offers clues as to when and how knowledge began to replace superstition: i.e.
brain and neurological sciences began development in Sumeria and Egypt, 4000 BCE; anatomy and physiology began development in Egypt, 2600 BCE; mathematics, the concept of 0, and algebraic laws began development in Egypt 2000 BCE; physics laws began development in Greece as early as 580 BCE.
My dates and places undoubtedly can be disputed; the principle of early knowledge and places that inquiry reached beyond faith is clear.
Modern science reveals nature's secrets today through the development of all kinds of disciplines. As we are able to shuck off beliefs based on tradition we are able to reach into outer and inner space in ways not possible before the mind was freed from its bindings.
Science cannot answer such questions as "Why was I born?" "What is my purpose in life?" "Who am I?" What is the meaning of life?" "From where do morals and ethics come?"
I don't believe religion answers these questions adequately. I have no reason to be born, I have no purpose or meaning and my morals and ethics come from inside me as part of my equipment, just as sight, sound, smell, taste, touch and feeling are parts of my being.
Why I was born depends on me.
What is my purpose in life depends on me.
Who I am depends on me.
My morals and ethics come from within me.
Sam Harris thinks science can reveal ethics and moral character

Happy New Year everyone! It's safe to say that 2015 has been a whirlwind but I'm pleased to announce that I'm now back from maternity leave! Although it feels a little weird to leave the girls at home, I'm really excited to be back in the office. 2015 was a life changing year both for my family, with the birth of our second daughter, and for KMID, as we moved into our new office in Somerville. We have a lot of exciting upcoming projects in the new year and it feels good to be back in my work boots {so to speak}! So make sure to stay tuned on the blog for periodic updates about what's happening at KMID.
Today I want to share a beautiful Before & After with you all! You may recognize some of these photos as the project was just featured in Sunday's edition of the Boston Globe Magazine {or online here}. I have to admit I will never stop getting that "pinch me" feeling when I see our work in print! I wanted to share a little bit more about the project and how it all came together so read on for the juicy details…
This young family immediately fell in love with this beautiful old colonial home {built in 1900} in Newton. When they moved in, they brought with them a hodgepodge of family furniture that they had collected over the years. So while their house was fully furnished, it didn't reflect their style or feel like home to them.
They approached KMID to help them marry their youthful spirit with both the house and the classic pieces that they had inherited. We wanted to honor the bones of the home and its history, but also make it work for the homeowners and withstand the rigors of family life. To achieve this, we kept a lot of their antique furniture, and reupholstered it with more updated, fresh fabrics. This helped keep the traditional lines and curves, but with a more updated and fresh take. It's a very beautiful traditional home, and the aesthetic embraces the history but also feels welcoming and casual.
When these new home owners moved in, they wanted to highlight the thick original moldings and lovely wainscoting in the living room and entry. They started by painting the trim a cooler and brighter white to really highlight the intricate woodwork in the entryway. We then chose this gorgeous wallpaper from The Martin Group to make an impact and really set the tone for the rest of the home. The fun 1950's Spanish metal light fixture from English Accent Antiques helps strike the perfect balance between modern and traditional.
Living Room
You can really see the difference simply painting this space made. We opted for a beautiful, dusty rose paint color {Benjamin Moore Sheraton Beige} to keep things neutral yet maintain interest and warmth. We really wanted to keep the use of color throughout the space, but by layering on a calmer palate in a more thoughtful way.
This beautiful Natural Curiosities "Gold Leaf Waves" print really draws you into the room and makes a bold impact. The tufted "Vivian" sofa from Emerson Bentley has traditional lines, but is updated when paired with red throw pillows and one in a suzani pattern from Etsy. We also re-upholstered this antique Hollywood armchair in a fresh mint mini-print by Victoria Hagan. An oversize oval ottoman made of mohair and velvet by Lee Industries takes the place of a standard coffee table, while remaining versatile, practical and comfortable.
Living Room Nook
This corner is in the living room, and we wanted to make sure it didn't get lost in the space. This painting by Elise Morris from Jules Place packs some color and texture and draws the eye to this special nook. This "Samuel" wingback chair from Furnishings by Design grounds the corner of the room and balances the other furniture in the room. The clean and fresh white drapes and sweet blue and white floral window seat cushion make for a bright and relaxing reading nook.
Dining Room
Once again, the bones of this room were beautiful. We replaced the red paint with a beautiful printed grasscloth by Berkeley House that immediately brightened and transformed the room. We loved the curves and shape of their existing dining room chairs, but reupholstered them with a metallic Nina Campbell fabric to give them an updated look. As for the window treatments, the vintage metal valances were a really cool and unique element that we wanted to keep. We replaced their existing white drapes with these beautiful green wool window treatments by Brunschwig & Fils, adding some color and luxury to the space.
This stairway runner was in need of an upgrade. We updated it with a subtle print in a softer, calmer color. The result was still classic, but didn't take away attention from everything else around it. The sculptural antique bench, found by the homeowners on 1stdibs.com, draws the eye to the detailed white woodwork. I love this Madeline Weinrib rug, with a graphic black and white print on a lavender field, because it brings a fresh modernity to the space. Finally, the painting by Duy Huynh from Jules Place adds visual interest in a soft way that doesn't upstage the architecture.

September 2001 — Volume 5, Number 2
Interview with an Online Instructor: The Methodology (Part Two)
Jim Duber

Return to Part One of this Column
Having prepared a list of questions ahead of time, and with the hardware and software running smoothly, I was able to focus my attention on the essentials–a discussion of the interview topic at hand. The use of multi-track recording software, in this case, Audio Desk, allowed for quick and easy isolation of the two voices and maximum efficiency during the final editing stages of the production.
(Figure 7–Audio Desk Interface)
The first step in the editing stage was to export the dual-track audio file to a single AIFF formatted audio file. I then opened that file in SoundEdit Pro to perform final edits, which included applying equalization to help boost quieter segments, and deleting a few minor cases of place fillers ("um", "uh", "you know", etc.) and extended pauses. I also used SoundEdit to cut the audio up into five separate segments to make them more convenient to present in a streaming format with an easy to follow text transcript.
(Figure 8–SoundEdit Pro interface)
In fact, producing the written transcription from the audio files was the most time-consuming aspect of the entire project. But, in keeping with principles of universal accessibility, this was a necessary operation and I was grateful that Maggie agreed to help with the task.
Special Delivery
I chose to use Macromedia Flash (version 4) as the delivery mechanism because of its ability to stream high quality audio over the World Wide Web even at slow modem rates and because of the large installed base of the Flash player worldwide. Recent surveys on Flash Player Statistics indicate that over 90% of web browsers internationally have the player installed. For those that don't have it, I provided a link to download the free player, and the written transcript for those who can't or don't care to use this technology.
The audio settings I chose for publishing the Flash files are shown below in Figure 10. The "Audio Stream" settings were chosen to allow the sounds to play without delay over a 33.6 kbps modem connection or faster.
(Figure 10–Flash sound settings)
Lastly, I referenced the Flash files in my HTML using the standard Embed and Object tags, and then sent the HTML and media files to the TESL-EJ editors for upload to their web servers. Although this may seem to be an overly complex procedure, with a little practice it's really easy. The whole job from start to finish was completed in a couple of hours. The audio quality is worth the extra effort.
Final Tips
- Be sure to start out recording with your audio settings at maximum quality. For now, that would generally be 16 bits, 44 kHz. Save this original file so that you can republish the audio in a variety of formats and resolutions . For example, on CD ROM you can deliver the full resolution file and not worry about bandwidth constraints (or download times).
- If you use the sort of simple microphone that came with your PC, you can minimize "pops" and "clicks" by placing a handkerchief or a piece of thin cloth over the mike to act as a wind screen.
- If you can't use a sound proof studio during your recording session, try to minimize noise interruptions as much as possible. I start by taking phones off the hook, and putting noisy pets outside.

Moral Ground: Why It's Wrong to Wreck the World
Townhall meeting and discussion featuring Kathleen Dean Moore and Michael Nelson
Time: Friday, Nov. 5, 2010 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Location: Holy Trinity Episcopal Church
100 N.E. First St.
Gainesville, FL 32601
Kathleen Dean Moore, Oregon State University distinguished professor of philosophy, and Michael P. Nelson, Michigan State University, will facilitate a townhall-style meeting to encourage public discussion about the environmental emergencies we face. In an effort to create a national discussion of the moral challenges of environmental degradation and climate disruption, the MORAL GROUND project asked a hundred of the world's moral leaders to consider this question: Do we have a moral obligation to the future to leave a world as rich in possibilities as our own? Their answers — a resounding yes from all parts of the world, in many voices — are gathered in MORAL GROUND: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril, edited by Kathleen Dean Moore and Michael P. Nelson.
Additional participants: Bron Taylor, Religion, UF, will read from his selection to Moral Ground "Earth Religion and Radical Religious Reformation", and Cynthia Barnett will read a selection form her forthcoming book Blue Path: Toward an American water ethic (Beacon Press, 2011). Musician Dale Crider will also play for us.
This event is sponsored by the UF Center for Humanities, UF Office of Sustainability and UF Religion Department.

We have a health crisis in the United States called type 2 diabetes.
From the Mayo Clinic:
Type 2 diabetes, once known as adult-onset or noninsulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition that affects the way your body metabolizes sugar (glucose), your body's main source of fuel.
With type 2 diabetes, your body either resists the effects of insulin — a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells — or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain a normal glucose level. Untreated, type 2 diabetes can be life-threatening.
A recent development in this serious disease, is that the ages of those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes continues to lower. The childhood obesity epidemic is leading to more young adults being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes that until recently was a disease of those in their 50's and 60's. This is one shift in the diagnosis of this deadly disease and another is that it is effecting young women who do not fit the typical profile. An article in Women's Health, about a seemingly fit and thin woman being diagnosed with prediabetes made me want to share my own story.
On the road to my diagnosis with graves disease, my endocrinologist ran a battery of blood tests. They mostly dealt with thyroid levels but also cortisol and glucose. The doctor thought it was unlikely that I had an issue with my glucose levels but because of a family history, my Grandmother had Type 2 diabetes, he wanted to err on the side of caution. When the blood work came back, my levels were through the roof but still in the prediabetes range.
My doctor was surprised because I, like the woman in the Women's Health article, do not have the typical risk factors for prediabetes. The primary risk factor, according to the Mayo Clinic, is being overweight "because the more fatty tissue that you have, the more resistant your cells become to insulin." I have never been overweight, so this diagnosis was a complete shock.
The high glucose levels, plus my impending radioactive iodine treatment for graves disease, forced me to look at my lifestyle. Was I active enough? Was I eating well? My days with an overactive metabolism were numbered and type 2 diabetes is a serious illness. I knew I had to make changes.
For years I wanted to run but always got halfway through the Couch-to-5K program and quit. The threat of a life altering disease hanging over my head was enough motivation to finish the program. Eventually, I even started to enjoy running and exercise became part of my regular routine. I cleaned up my eating habits and hoped I was doing enough.
One year after the initial diagnoses, my glucose levels are completely in the normal range and there is no threat that I will need to take medication.
It is so important to incorporate regular exercise into your daily life and to make sure to see a doctor regularly. If my primary care physician had not found a lump on my thyroid, I would have never been given a glucose test and may have developed Type 2 diabetes which has no cure.
Further reading on the subject of young women being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Sonakshi Sinha too tough to manage?
Sources say Sonakshi's manager Zahid Khan has walked out on her, citing creative differences
Just yesterday we wrote how Sonakshi Sinha opted out of Anees Bazmee's upcoming sequel of 2007's hit Welcome, as she had too many projects on her plate. But looks like Sona could be facing a tough time juggling all her projects after her manager Zahid Khan has apparently walked out on her.
There are several speculations about the exact reason why Zahid opted out. Rumours are rife that Zahid wanted the actress to opt for more performance-based roles rather than signing run-of-the-mill romantic films.
A source says, "Zahid had expressed his displeasure about Sona's choice of roles. Finally, he had no choice but to move out."
Industry insiders say that Reshma Shetty, who manages Salman Khan, might be roped in to handle Sona's platter of work. Given her proximity to Sallu, it's no wonder that Reshma's name has popped up soon after Zahid's exit.
However, a friend of the Sinha family says that Sona's mom Punam was worried that Zahid was unable to cope up with the slew of work that has been coming her way, since he was also handling Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor's work.
Sonakshi and Zahid remained unavailable for comment.

Values In Sheets Gets Divided By 10Mar 8, 2009
Excel 2007. Trying to enter a number in a cell in a spreadsheet
(a) opened with the "blank workbook" (new spreadsheet)
(b) created with Excel 2003 and opened in excel 2007
(c) created with Excel 2007 and emailed by someone who isn't having that problem on his Excel 2007 installation
Any number I type in is automatically divided by 10. The only way I seem to be able to prevent this is by entering a decimal point when I enter the number. Have tried several different formatting options, although in 2007 I can't seem to find how to "uncheck" fixed decimals. Tried General formatting and fixed decimal formatting, and nothing seems to work. Looked for hidden macros, none show up when I click on View Macros.

Generating Positive Impact Alongside Financial Return
Increasingly, entrepreneurs and investors recognize the potential of market based tools to offer new solutions to some of our most pressing social and environmental challenges. In both developed and developing countries, this approach complements public sector and philanthropic initiatives by attracting private sector capital to develop innovative solutions.
As a global financial institution, JPMorgan Chase has embraced this approach and is actively channeling capital towards these solutions. We hope to lead the market by providing high quality, market insights and new opportunities. To date, we have deployed millions of our own capital and catalyzed millions more from our clients and partners into investments aimed at improving the lives of low-income and underserved populations around the world.
Commitment to the Impact Investment Market
As a global company, we believe that we have the responsibility to use our expertise and resources to invest in our communities and to help them address the social and environmental challenges they face. For example, many communities at the base of the economic pyramid (BoP) lack access to government services and often pay high prices to procure basic products and services from private sector providers. Impact investments can address this by harnessing more efficient, competitive business models to deliver better, cheaper and more widely-available services to low-income and excluded communities around the world. Impact investments can complement government and philanthropy by providing goods and services to these communities, thereby allowing government and philanthropy to concentrate their resources on reaching the poorest communities who cannot participate in market-based solutions.
Beyond being the right thing to do, addressing social and environmental challenges also fosters the economic growth that is core to our business as a global financial institution. As such, we view the impact investment market as a business opportunity and we facilitate growth by:
Investing J.P. Morgan's own capital in impact investment funds, which seek to improve the livelihoods of low-income and excluded populations.
Building our market-leading research franchise as a public good.
Using our investment experience and research expertise to respond to demand from our clients for impact investment solutions.
Client Demand
The client demand for these products and services comes in many forms:
Traditional investors are eager to utilize their capital for development aims alongside investment returns.
Philanthropists are looking for more sustainable capital utilization.
Institutions want to devote more resources to promoting sustainable growth, responding to stakeholders demands.

Scotland in the Medieval era. The name Gunn was derived from Gunni, a descendant of Einar and of the great peace Kings of Uppsale in Sweden, progenitor of this great Clan. Gunni was the son of Gillanders, one of the six northern Earls who besieged King Malcolm IV of Scotland at Perth in 1160. The Gunns, the Sinclairs, the Mackays and the Gordons ruled the far northern reaches of Scotland. The Gunns' territory centered in Caithness and Sutherland.
Early Origins of the Gunn family
Clan, in Westford, Massachusetts. Chiseled into a rock face, it has been reliably dated back to 1395. This was almost one hundred years before Columbus discovered America. Archaeologists first assumed this marking was the work of an early Indian tribe, but closer examination and the clearance of the scrub, revealed a knight in full armor, a huge sword and a shield on which the Gunn Coat of Arms was displayed.
How did a Knight of the Gunn Clan manage to be buried in Massachusetts years before Columbus discovered America? For the answer, historians went back to the Orkneys. They knew that the Jarls of Orkney, many centuries before had recorded that they wintered in their Viking missions in a land running with fire from the rocks (Nova Scotia, also on the east coast of North America, has bituminous rocks, which can catch fire and melt down the ravines to the sea). They also knew that the Gunns were related to and rode and sailed with the Jarls of Orkney. The pieces of the puzzle fit together fine, but few historians had realized to that point that the Viking discoveries of the New World had penetrated as far south as Massachusetts. This carving is one of the few real evidences of their pioneering expeditions. It is also the earliest record of a Gunn Clan Coat of Arms.

Gunn Spelling Variations
Gunn Spelling Variations
Spelling variations are extremely common among Scottish names dating from this era because the arts of spelling and translation were not yet standardized. Spelling was done by sound, and translation from Gaelic to English was generally quite careless. In different records, Gunn has been spelled Gunn, Gun, Guinne (Gaelic) and others.

Migration of the Gunn family to the New World and Oceana
Those who made the voyage were greeted with ample opportunity to acquire land and a political climate far away from the oppressive monarchy of the old country. They settled along the east coast of what would become Canada and the United States. In the American War of Independence, those who remained loyal to England traveled north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. In this century, many Scots living in North America have begun to recover their rich heritage through festivals, highland games, and Clan societies. An examination of passenger and immigration lists has shown early immigrants bearing the name Gunn:

The Gunn Motto
The Gunn Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Aut pax, aut bellum
Motto Translation: Either peace or war
Gunn Clan Badge
Gunn Clan Badge
A clan is a social group made up of a number of distinct branch-families that actually descended from, or accepted themselves as descendants of, a common ancestor. The word clan means simply children. The idea of the clan as a community is necessarily based around this idea of heredity and is most often ruled according to a patriarchal structure. For instance, the clan chief represented the hereditary "parent" of the entire clan. The most prominent example of this form of society is the Scottish Clan system...More...
