IUCN helps restore a forest landscape to benefit local communities in Northern Thailand
On June 6, 2008, 48,000 trees were planted in the Doi Mae Salong (DMS) watershed of Northern Thailand in a milestone event organized by IUCN, the Supreme Commander's Office (SCO) and the TAO Phatueng of MaeChan District. 300 people men, women and children from 19 villages representing communities all along the MaeChan River participated. It was the next step in a 14 year long project which will restore 1,440 hectares of a degraded mountainous landscape identified by the SCO's office and which is being supported by IUCN's 'Livelihoods and Landscapes' Initiative.
Forest restoration in this area has traditionally been a top down approach that did not take into account the needs of the local people. For example, in 2007 the SCO's office replanted 160 hectares of forest on the traditional agricultural plots of 32 families, creating tension between local communities, many of whom did not have land tenure rights and who were concerned about their future livelihood options. As this new reforestation project requires the relocation of more families and therefore livelihood support for those affected, the SCO requested the assistance of IUCN's 'Livelihoods and Landscapes' Initiative in order to fully address these issues.
The project, which began in 2007, will include 5 years of tree planting followed by another 9 years of post planting maintenance at a cost of US$ 2.8 million. The money will fund the construction of check dams for watershed restoration, forest restoration and tree nurseries, and other livelihood and development actions to improve the quality of life for local communities. Through the 'Livelihoods and Landscapes' Initiative, IUCN role is threefold:
- Facilitating a participatory decision making process between the Supreme Commander's Office, other NGO's like the Hill tribe Area Development Foundation (HADF), local government officials, and most importantly, the 5,000 families (belonging to 6 ethnic groups) in 10 communities in the MaeFahLuang and MaeChan District, Chiangrai.
- Providing technical and scientific assistance to restore the forest landscape so that a self generating ecosystem can once again be created. 41 participants from the DMS (including village leaders, a local authority officer, a school teacher and a forestry officer) have already been trained on the general concepts and skills needed for forest restoration
- Supporting these 5,000 families to benefit from the collection and trade in non timber forest products that an enhanced forest landscape can once again provide, and to secure land tenure rights. Together, these will improve their livelihoods.
The Supreme Commander hopes to visit the site of the newly planted trees in August to check on the general progress of the project.

The new fall exhibit at the first floor rotunda at the State Capitol, "Arkansas in 1860: On the Eve of Conflict," contains artifacts and documents from the collections of the Arkansas History Commission. The tale of a pivotal year in Arkansas's history is told through images and artifacts depicting life in pre-Civil War Arkansas. The exhibit highlights the topics of transportation, society, plantation agriculture, and the politics of 1860, as well as the profound transformations within these areas of a state on the brink of secession. The exhibit also displays materials loaned by several state parks, Arkansas State University, and private individuals.
"Arkansas in 1860: On the Eve of Conflict" includes personal effects of Omer Rose Weaver, a young man-about-town of 1860 Little Rock, along with the intriguing story of "The Family," Arkansas's first political dynasty. Weaver moved freely in Arkansas's social circles, and one of his fancy vests is featured near a copy of a $15.00 invoice for a similar vest. The cost of the vest was equivalent to a month's wages for a working man of the day.
The Arkansas History Commission is located at One Capitol Mall, just west of the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock. For more information, visit the Arkansas History Commission's new Civil War website at http://arkansascivilwar.com, or call 501.682.6900.

University of Michigan unifies 19 schools under a culture of collaboration with G Suite for Education
Michigan's schools and colleges operated as autonomous academic units with multiple disparate technology systems that were not just redundant but incompatible with one another. The IT team at Michigan saw an opportunity to streamline its technology services and introduce a mail, calendar, and documents solution that allowed for improved collaboration.
"When G Suite for Education was introduced, there was a huge sigh of relief. Previously, it was very difficult for students and professors to keep their information synchronized. I have yet to come across a toolset that is as feature-rich as Google Apps."
Jeff Ringenberg, faculty member in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department
When Michigan initially looked into switching solutions, the IT team realized that 40 to 50 percent of email sent to the Michigan domain was forwarded to Gmail. After soliciting input from a large cross-section of faculty, students, and staff, Michigan decided in the fall of 2011 to adopt G Suite for Education across all schools (except the medical campus) for mail, calendar, and documents.
Organization Profile
Located in Ann Arbor and founded in 1817, the University of Michigan (known simply as "Michigan") is the top public research institution in the country according to the 2014/15 QS World University Rankings®. Michigan offers 260 degree programs at 19 schools and colleges; educates more than 43,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students; and employs 6,800 faculty members. With an emphasis on student diversity, Michigan is known for providing "an uncommon education for the common man."

Blues confirm long-term Bertrand deal
Chelsea have confirmed that Ryan Bertrand has signed a new five-year contract.
Full-back Bertrand was only a year into a four-year deal agreed last summer but has been rewarded for his remarkable progress in recent months.
The 23-year-old became the first man ever to make his Champions League debut in the final itself in May and made his England debut in last month's friendly win over Italy.
He has also started two of Chelsea's three Barclays Premier League games this season.
Prior to Roberto Di Matteo's appointment as manager in March, he barely figured for his parent club since making a controversial move from Gillingham seven years ago.
Ashley Cole's arrival as Chelsea's undisputed first-choice left-back saw Bertrand spend much of his early Stamford Bridge career out on loan.
He did not make his debut until April last year and there had been speculation he may be forced to leave in search of regular first-team football. But he is now very much seen as the heir apparent to Cole, whose own contract expires next summer.
He could also succeed Cole in the England set-up but will probably play second fiddle to Leighton Baines in Friday's opening World Cup qualifier in Moldova - Cole has been ruled out of that match through injury.
Former England Under-21 star Bertrand's elevation to the senior squad by manager Roy Hodgson is a reward both for his Chelsea displays and those for Great Britain at the Olympics.
Reports suggest Bertrand, who has been deployed in midfield much of the time by Di Matteo, has earned a pay rise to £35,000 a week.

RochelleKopp needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 206 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
Global Teamwork Group
Global Teamwork Group offers customized talent development solutions to companies operating in the global marketplace. Our services include global leadership development, cross-cultural training, teambuilding for global teams, and coaching for global leaders. We help companies succeed in the global environment through helping their people to master the complexities of doing business across cultural borders. Our team is made up of seasoned professionals with deep business experience and cross-cultural experience. We help our clients improve their teamwork, and we work as a team in doing so.
Please keep in mind that we are selling high-end, sophisticated services to a sophisticated global audience. Clients will mainly either be line managers, or professionals in the Learning and Development or HR function. We expect to be working with audiences from around the world.
The target market for our services are managers and executives who are involved in global business operations.
Global Teamwork Group is a new sister company to Japan Intercultural Consulting (http://www.japanintercultural.com) which was founded 16 years ago. Over the years, we have developed expertise in countries other than Japan, but it was difficult to advance that work under the Japan-oriented brand name. So we have decided to launch a new brand to house our more global focused work, while leaving Japan Intercultural Consulting to continue its work focusing on Japan. We expect that many clients of Global Teamwork Group, at least initially, will be familiar with Japan Intercultural Consulting.
We love the Japan Intercultural Consulting logo, and receive many compliments on it. We hope to find something as striking for Global Teamwork Group, but at the same time want it to be very different, to reflect that it's a separate company with different services.
Since we want to use this logo around the world, we want to avoid any color scheme or imagery that is too reminiscent of any particular country's flag or symbols. We want something that looks neutral in that sense.
Since we plan to be active in social networking, we prefer a logo that can be made into an icon/avatar easily.
We feel that creating a good logo for Global Teamwork Group is challenging. Because so many logos that have a global theme are very trite and are forgettable (because all globes look alike!) We want to avoid that. Also, many logos in the cross-cultural or diversity field tend to look rather child-like.
This is our second run at a logo. Originally we had purchased a ready-made logo from the 99designs site, which I will attach here for reference. It appealed to us for the clever way it combined the ideas of global and teamwork, and for its fresh clean look. However, as we showed it to people, we started to get the feedback that it looked too much like the logo for something aimed at children, or a charity of some sort. That it was not appropriate for a company that will be selling sophisticated high-end services to large corporations. So we decided to not use it after all, and to start from scratch with this contest. We are looking for something more business-y. But still want something fresh, eye-catching, and distinctive.
We are hoping to find something that conveys the idea of people connecting to collaborate as teams, and secondarily the idea of a global operation.

Subscribe To Big Brother 15 Live Feed Updates: Who Was Nominated And Who Won MVP? UPDATED With Veto Winner Updates
I've already subscribed
It's been an interesting couple of days in the Big Brother house. Following up on Nick's eviction, the house was divided between the few people who voted for Elissa to go, and those who sent Nick packing. And Howard, who cast his vote against Elissa but counted himself among the people who evicted Nick. That one vote was the topic of a lot of conversations, and Helen was determined to figure out whose it was. She was a lot more successful in obtaining that information - and a whole lot more - than Aaryn was during her own turn as Head of Household.
Live feed spoilers ahead, including who was nominated, who won MVP and who the MVP nominated.
There have been a lot of conversations in the Big Brother house, including a cool-down period after Bed-gate and the racially charged altercations between Candice, Aaryn and GinaMarie. It seems like people are trying to mend some bridges after that and the other sources of tension in the house. Jeremy, of everyone, seems to be going out of his way to play nice and show an attempt to fix this mistakes he and his ego have made now that Helen is HoH.
Helen spoke with everyone individually, and though I didn't catch all of the conversations, it sounds like either McCrae told her about the Moving Company or McCrae told Amanda and Amanda told Helen. Either way, it seems like the MC alliance was exposed by one of them not long before Jeremy sat with Helen and revealed all of that information to her in the HoH room. In a rare but amusing "oops" moment, Candice was in the HoH bathroom taking a shower during Helen and Jeremy's conversation and neither of them realized it until Jeremy ducked in there to hide when someone came to the HoH door, so Candice heard at least some of their chat. But I don't think that was game-damaging, as Helen pretty much told everyone about the MC (she let McCrae reveal it to Elissa).
From what i gathered in the conversations between Helen and the people she actually seems to trust, Jeremy is the target this week, with Aaryn as a back-up and Howard as the third option. The plan is to backdoor Jeremy, so Helen nominated Aaryn and Kaitlin. Before nominations, Helen told Kaitin that Aaryn was the target, and Kaitlin put up no objection to that. If anything, it sounds like she's in support of Aaryn going, as she says (paraphrasing) she thinks Aaryn's a bad influence on her. But I really think Kaitlin's just trying to protect Jeremy and willing to throw Aaryn under the bus if it means Jeremy stays this week. She even went as far as to suggest herself as a pawn, probably hoping that if Jeremy does get to play the Veto (assuming his name is drawn), he can win and take her off and they'd both be safe. As far as Aaryn knows, Helen told her she's not the target and I think Aaryn's aware that Jeremy is. Or maybe Howard.
As for why Howard's on Helen's radar, Helen pretty much knew that he was the only person on their side who voted to evict Elissa. She also knew he was involved in the MC. When she pulled him aside, he first tried to lie about his the hinky vote, even as Helen basically urged him to be honest with her because she's making decisions based on honesty. Finally, Howard admitted that he was the one to vote to evict Elissa. I think the reason he did that was the same reason Spencer told Candice to evict Elissa last week. They wanted there to be a weird vote that they could use to deflect blame on them if it came down to it. But considering Helen knew that Spencer did that to Candice last week, there was no way she was going to not see it when it happened again this week. So Howard admitted to that but - not realizing she already knew about the MC - he denied any involvement in a male alliance, even when Helen literally listed off all of the members of the MC to him and said she heard there was an alliance.
So Helen doesn't trust Howard anymore, and neither do some of the other people on that side. It seemed like the plan was to put Kaitlin and Aaryn up and then have Elissa put Howard up as the third nominee. And they'd try to backdoor Jeremy, but if he still managed to play for the Veto and won, or somehow someone wins the Veto and doesn't use it, they still have options. Only it sounds like Elissa deviated from that plan when she became MVP again, and nominated Spencer instead of Howard.
It's possible there's a conversation I missed about why Elissa went against the plan to nominate Howard. Maybe Elissa just decided to make her own choice. She did tell McCrae and Amanda earlier that she thought Spencer was the hinky vote, but both of them assured her that Howard has admitted to voting to evict her. But Elissa wasn't around for a lot of Helen's conversations, particularly the pow-wow with Andy, Helen, McCrae and Amanda, and she might have felt left out enough to do what she wanted to do and not what the group wanted her to do.
It's an interesting situation, because it really is MVP's choice. Viewers keep giving MVP to Elissa, which is why her group is keeping her around. But her group can't make her nominate who they want her to nominate. It's her choice. And Elissa needs to do what she thinks is best for her. But she might also want to work on securing alliances that extend beyond her MVP status, because if she proves to be unreliable as the MVP then those people who saved her twice already might conclude that she's outlasted her worth and they'll send her packing.
I'm still getting caught up on conversations I missed last night, but at this point, from what I can tell, Kaitlin, Aaryn and Spencer are nominated, but Jeremy is the real target. And Jokers says Candice and GinaMarie are also playing for Veto, in addition to Spencer, Helen, Aaryn and Kaitlin.
UPDATE - Feeds were out for hours while the houseguests played for Veto. I haven't listened enough to figure out the details about the competition other than that it sounds like it was timed, but Kaitlin won the Veto. The question is, will she use it? She probably at least suspects that Jeremy will go up if she does use it. And she might suspect that if she doesn't use it, Aaryn would be the next target. But it would still be a huge risk not to use it, and not using it might annoy people enough to vote her out. So we'll have to wait and see.

On March 6, an executive session of the Board of Trustees continued its ongoing review of the strategic direction and future of the university.
As it had during its October board meeting, the board went into an executive session (an executive session of the board includes only its non-university members) to more carefully review these plans and to discuss how the university and its administration had been developing and implementing changes for the future.
During those discussions, the Board felt that perhaps the best way to achieve new strategic directions for the university was through the opportunities that might be offered by new leadership at the school.
As a result, three resignations were offered and accepted, with regret, during the day's meeting. In accepting the three resignations, the board acknowledged that questions may be asked whether there were any moral, legal or ethical violations, and wishes to make it emphatically clear that this was not the case in any of these resignations in any way.
The resignations include those of Dr. Niels-Erik Andreasen, president; Dr. Patricia Mutch, vice president for academic administration; and, Edward Wines, vice president for financial administration.
Dr. Andreasen's resignation was effective immediately, although he has agreed to continue to serve the university until an interim president is identified.
Dr. Mutch's and Mr. Wine's resignations are effective June 30, 2006.
"We want to recognize the years of contributions that each of these individuals has made to Andrews University," says Elder Gerald Karst, chair of the Andrews University Board of Trustees and general vice president of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. "The passion and commitment they have offered, especially during a time of financial challenges and change, has provided the foundation needed for the future success and growth of Andrews University."
Following these changes, the Board will work within Andrews University working policies to guide the appointment of the search committees that will identify the individuals who will fill these positions. Each of these committees will include board, campus, alumni, community and Adventist church representatives.
Also, the board intends to appoint an interim president to guide the university as it prepares for its future.
While changes of this sort are always challenging for an institution, the Board of Trustees and its chair also expressed appreciation and praise for the daily work that continues to make a university like Andrews strong -- as students learn, write their papers and complete their research, laugh over a cafeteria meal, shoot baskets and cheer during the annual Newmyer Basketball Classic and join hundreds of their classmates as they pray and sing together on campus or reach out to directly serve in communities near the university and around the world.
These students are taught and guided by a faculty and staff who help fulfill the strength and hope that have characterized Andrews University's history for the last 132 years and that will provide stability and growth in the days and years to come.
Over the next several days and weeks, Elder Karst and Elder Walter Wright, vice chair of the Andrews University Board of Trustees and president of the Lake Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, will meet with individuals and groups throughout the campus community to explore and implement the next steps needed as the university moves forward.
During this time, Rebecca May, director of the Office of University Relations on campus is the official spokesperson regarding this issue, and will continue to share news and updates as they are available from the Andrews University Board of Trustees.

Wenger defiant after nervy victory
Arsene Wenger has taken aim at his critics again as Arsenal ended a difficult week on a high with a nervy 2-1 victory over Aston Villa.
The Gunners boss seemed on course for another disappointing result when Andreas Weimann equalised Santi Cazorla's opener, but the Spanish midfielder rescued his team with a well-taken winner five minutes from time.
When asked whether these had been "dreadful times", Wenger replied: "Of course. But you do your job and focus on the next game. That's what I did."
He added: "I'm not 30 years in this job at the top level to be destroyed by people saying I don't know what I'm doing. (If I was) I would have stopped this job a long time ago. But we have responsibilities and have to stand up and get the team ready to fight."
It took two bits of magic from Cazorla to rescue the north London club. The Spaniard, who now has 11 goals for Arsenal, opened the scoring with a fierce drive past Brad Guzan after he saw his first shot blocked.
Wenger said: "Santi Cazorla played very well and delivered in a game that was very important. He's a great player. He has shown he's a great football player and I'm happy and grateful he delivered those two important goals."
Villa, meanwhile, slip in to the bottom three on goal difference following Wigan's win at Reading. Manager Lambert was disappointed to see his team come away with nothing despite a pleasing display.
"We shouldn't have lost it," the Scot said. "We were exceptional in parts of that game and we should have been in the lead at half-time. At the very least we should have come away with a point.
"We've played like that for a number of weeks: West Brom, Everton, Newcastle in the second half, West Ham.
"We've just got to try and get more points on the board. We've got massive games still to come, and there'll be a lot of twists and turns this season."

Aggressive driving behaviors, such as speeding and tailgating, can often lead to road rage. According to the National Safety Council, motorists rate this as a top threat to highway safety.
Here, we provide practical tips on how to avoid road rage—as well as some startling stats, common reasons that cause road rage and wisdom from experts—to ensure your safety while driving.
7 ways to avoid road rage:
- Move over if someone is tailgating you
- Use an "I'm sorry" gesture (e.g. wave) to attempt to defuse the situation
- Plan ahead; allow time for delays during your journey
- Consider whether you've done something to annoy the other driver and adjust your driving accordingly
- Listen to music you enjoy
- Use your horn sparingly
- Avoid eye contact with angry drivers and give them plenty of room
"If we can put ourselves in the shoes of other drivers, we are more capable of understanding their behavior and staying calm. If we can't appreciate their situation, then we are more likely to get offended, angry and even rageful if their driving bothers us."
— Dr. Robert Nemerovski, psychologist specializing in anger and anxiety
Common reasons drivers experience road rage:
- Fighting over a parking space
- Cut off
- Not allowed to pass
- Given the finger
- Annoyed at someone honking too much
- Stuck behind a slow driver
- Tailgated
"There's a lot of talk about driving under the influence, and oftentimes people are referring to drugs or alcohol. But people are driving under the influence every day—and that influence is rage."
— Shannon Munford, anger management expert
Reasons to avoid aggressive driving:
- Aggressive driving plays a role in 66% of traffic fatalities
- 50% of people who encounter aggressive driving behavior respond in kind
- A firearm is involved in 37% of aggressive driving incidents
- Out of 10,000 road-rage incidents committed over a seven-year span, there were 218 deaths and 12,610 injuries recorded
"Some good people have bad days and end up in situations they normally never would, simply due to powerful emotions like anger, frustration and stress taking over."
— Richard Senshido, self-defense expert on de-escalating situations with road ragers

It has been a while since I answered a question for Ask Megs, and it is time to bring it back. Whether it is a gift idea, helping narrowing down a bag choice, or anything else related to our coveted arm candy, I'd love to help out. This week, a reader wrote to ask for help to find the perfect bag for her 40th birthday gift from her husband.
Dear Megs,
Please could you advise what you could recommend to buy for about $1500. I live in London and have lots of designer bags, so I am very lucky and not sure what to invest in next.
My husband has very sweetly offered to gift me a bag for my 40th birthday. I would like a shoulder bag or one that can be carried in the crook of my arm. I would also like it in a brown or red color, but I'm open to different colors.
I am considering a Mulberry bag - but which one?
All advice is gratefully appreciated!
Mrs. N. P.
Thanks for writing! You are very lucky to already have an amazing collection and another new bag coming for your birthday. I focused on finding you some great Mulberry bags, but there are a few other designers with a similar aesthetic that I think you should check out. I decided on bags that pair classic with everyday wearable in a final product that you will be thrilled to carry for years to come. I stuck with options from Net-A-Porter for easy delivery for you! Here are my choices:
Mulberry Alexa Leather Bag in peach-pink | $1,250
Since you specifically named Mulberry, I found a few options. The Alexa is super stylish and I love the femininity the peach pink color offers.
Gucci Jackie Shoulder Bag in cherry | $1,790
Not super red, this cherry hued Gucci bag is timeless and elegant. Truth be told, it might be my favorite on the list.
Yves Saint Laurent Muse Two Large Leather Tote in navy | $1,350
YSL designed the Muse Two to be everyday wearable. There is a subtle nod at colorblocking on this version and it will look great being carried in the crux of your arm.
Mulberry Taylor textured-leather satchel | $1,350
The Taylor is a different look for Mulberry, but I quite like it. It is more casual than the Alexa but still easy to pair with many outfits.
Marni Color-block leather tote | $1,370
They call this bag color-blocked but the difference in colors is so slight it really just helps the bag flow well. I like the East/West shape and supremely buttery soft leather.
Reed Krakoff Soft Boxer 1 textured-leather tote | $1,290
The Boxer Tote has been a growing favorite and it still remains high on my list. The leather is durable and the buckle strap detailing adds flair.
Alexander McQueen De Manta studded leather tote | $1,595
I added a bag with some chic studding if you were looking for a little rocker-chic. The studding is added in all the right places without being over-the-top.
Miu Miu Madras textured-leather tote | $1,595
I love the gold hardware against the red leather on this tote. There is an optional shoulder strap so this bag can be carried cross-body, while there are also two top handles for easy carrying.
Mulberry Oversized Alexa leather bag in oak | $1,450
I finished off my choices with another Mulberry bag. The oak color is iconic to the brand and I love the larger Alexa, especially if you have many items you have to carry daily.
P.S. Please consider supporting our small, bag-loving team by clicking our links before shopping or checking out at your favorite online retailers like Amazon, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, or any of the listed partners on our shop page. We truly appreciate your support!

I attended a strange and amazing "unconference" two days ago. It was called HRevolution and it was a collection of HR and recruiting pros coming together to discuss social media and its intersection with their professional life. It was the first out-of-town HR conference I had ever attended, made up mainly of bloggers (including Twitter micro-bloggers). The ideas flew fast and furiously, and I already have several HR University lesson plans in the works based on thoughts generated at the Revolution. Those lessons will have to be spread out over several posts, but I want to start here with some introductory remarks about the Revolution in general:
- This conference was organized by Trish McFarlane, Ben Eubanks, Crystal Peterson, and Steve Boese. Sponsors included Monster.com, Nobscot, Blogging4Jobs, Sanera, and Fusion Frames. All of these people and companies live and work in different parts of the USA, but they came together seamlessly for an outstanding presentation. My local SHRM chapter, where everyone lives and works within a few dozen miles of each other, needs to take lessons.
- One of the attendees at HRevolution, Frank Zupan, lives and work in Cleveland. He eats corned beef at a deli called Slyman's; they buy corned beef made at United Meat & Deli (UMD) in Detroit. The corned beef is injected/pumped with pickling brine with a machine operated by Joaquin Arredondo. Joaquin is a permanent resident alien (has a green card) – a status that I helped him obtain as the HR manager at UMD. That circle (Frank to Joaquin to me to Frank) of connectivity wasn't created by HRevolution or Twitter, but it was discovered there. It makes a compelling argument for the continuing exploration of social media, and it slaps the argument that "people only connect on social media because they can't connect in person" right in the face.
- Laurie Ruettiman of Punk Rock HR is a true superstar of the HR blogosphere. Ooohs and aaahs were audible when she arrived, and I am old enough to be her mother. In fact, I discovered through conversation with her that I am older than her mother. But she, like the other Gen X and Ys present (which was most of the room), was absolutely energizing. Boomers like me can learn a lot from these smart kids, if we will listen.
- None of the attendees at HRevolution had met me before; they only knew who I was because of my Twitter presence. Yet almost everyone who knew who I was (because of my avatar) hugged me. It was marvelous because I really like hugging.
- HRevolution attendees have an absolute fascination with bacon. I have no idea what the origin of this fascination is, or why it continues. I am happy to indulge the fascination, though. The first HRevolution attendee who comments (10 words or more required) on this blog post will receive the book "Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon" as a gift from me.
More lessons to follow; stay tuned!

LOL! No wonder my ears were burning! Do you think I have fallen off the deep end? I just love Orthodoxy sooooo much! ....and find it to be so beautiful that I want to share it!
Quote from: LizaSymonenko on October 01, 2012, 03:43:25 PMLOL! No wonder my ears were burning! Do you think I have fallen off the deep end? I just love Orthodoxy sooooo much! ....and find it to be so beautiful that I want to share it! your ears are burning, cause...um....well, you kinda hot, i see from your pics
wish everyone fell off the deep end for Orthodoxy!You do Orthodoxy justice with your pictures. they are so lovely, that I might not minde so much if i saw you taking pics during liturgy.With artistic photography i believe the main goal is to capture a feeling. it seams to come easy to you!your pictures represent (to me) a feeling i get sometimes during church or shortly after, its a feeling that's mysterious, magical, blessed, holy, peacefull....cant put it into words, sounds corny. its a feeling that i don't think can be represented with words. wonder if anyone else has felt something like this.
It's also most important to disable any sounds the (digital) camera makes, such as the bleep during focusing, the mock shutter sound, etc. If the camera is silent, then the distraction and annoyance factor is practically eliminated.I have taken thousands of pictures in churches (film and digital) over many years, with permission, and without any complaints from anyone. Like Liza, I am frequently asked by priests and others to take pictures during special services, because they're happy with my work.
The Episcopallian road is easy and wide, for many go through it to find destruction. lol sorry channeling Isa.

Faculty Resources
Study Abroad - Program Proposals
The Center for Global Education and Engagement welcomes proposals for new study abroad programs. Learn more details about study abroad program proposals.
McGlothlin Faculty Travel Grant Program
With the support of the McGlothlin Family Endowment, international travel grants of up to $2,000 will be awarded to Radford University faculty to supplement the costs of international travel related to planning projects designed to internationalize the Radford University curriculum. Preference is given to faculty developing future study abroad programs and/or comparative courses in one's discipline. Learn more about the McGlothlin International Travel Grants.
Faculty Exchange Awards
Individual awards of $1,000 will be given to faculty who participate in exchange projects with Radford University's exchange partners. These projects may involve teaching, researching, mentoring, observing, or otherwise collaborating with our partners, but must also include a return visit to Radford University of a faculty member from a partner university.
Visiting International Scholar Program
Radford University faculty and staff may apply to the Visiting International Scholar Program for a grant to create an exchange with a scholar from another country. Funds will be made available to support three-to-six week visits of international scholars to Radford University, where they will interact with faculty, staff, and students, both within and outside of the classroom. The Visiting International Scholar program will also provide funding for the Radford University faculty "host" to visit the scholar's home institution for a reciprocal short-term scholarly visit in a different semester. Ideally, the "exchange" will be completed within a three-year period. For more information, contact please contact the Center for Global Education and Engagement at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Visiting Faculty Opportunities at Exchange Partners
Several of Radford University's partner institutions abroad will host faculty for short-term and semester-long stays, including opportunities to teach, meet colleagues, and conduct research. Two of Radford University's partners, Kansai Gaidai University in Japan and National Taiwan Normal University have established programs, with generous financial support from the Taiwan institution. These are usually appropriate for faculty on sabbatical leave. For more information, check out KGU. Contact the CGEE at email@example.com to discuss other Radford University partnerships that allow for faculty exchanges.
External Funding Sources for Research and Program Development
Faculty may turn to a wide variety of grantors for funds to develop study abroad programs, pursue international opportunities in lecturing and research, and promote internationalization on the Radford University campus. A list of granting agencies and organizations is available.
CIEE International Faculty Development Seminars
Each year, the Council on International Educational Exchange sponsors a number of faculty development seminars all over the world. Topical and geographic foci allow faculty to deepen their appreciation for cultures and peoples across the globe while coming into contact with CIEE study abroad program locations. Radford University has joined CIEE. For more information visit CIEE online.

Crack the Skye
Biographical insight from genesis to fruition in our own words
The Album of Our Lives
Bill Kelliher (guitars): This is the record we've always wanted to make. We finally made it! I just got back from the dentist and listened to it on my iPod and I started hearing more things that I hadn't noticed before. It was great. Awesome. Basically, "Wow! This is really us!" It's kind of hard to believe. We've come a very long way since our very first EP, so a huge sense of accomplishment came over me. I was thrilled. I'm really proud of everyone and the job we all did.
Brann Dailor (drums, vocals, and percussion): When I listen to it, I feel as if I've just come out of a heavy movie. The first couple of times I heard it through I couldn't talk for about half an hour. Took me a while to come down from it.
Brent Hinds (lead guitar, vocals, and banjo): It's almost like it could give you a music hangover. There's a lot of music going on. I'm impressed, even though it came from us. I listened to it and was like, "I'm so proud of these dudes!" I love those guys and am proud of this.
Troy Sanders (bass, vocals, and bass synth): Hopefully the album is a reflection of the emotional journey that we've sunk into its creation. After challenging all our emotions in the spectrum, I would hope the listeners will reflect on some of what we put into it. It's not just seven songs, but an up-and-down journey. It was to truly dig in and pull personal inspiration from both the darkest and dearest parts of our souls, and simultaneously with our wonder and amazement of the entire universe.
Its two totally different things, diving into a small part of your soul and then being mesmerized with the wonders of our universe. Those things don't really seem to match. But from that dearest spot within our souls, to the outer limits of our universal imagination, we've furthered our attempt to make a record that follows the steps of us wanting to trek through our journey, taking the most natural and brutally honest next step of Mastodon's evolution.
Bill: Back in the '70s and '80s and '90s even, when you bought a record like … And Justice For All or Kill 'Em All or Reign In Blood, you put the record on and listened to it until it was done and then flipped it over and started again. We're from the old school trying to bring that back. Take your life off "shuffle" and put the whole thing on and then you'll see the whole picture. We've always tried to do that – and with this one we did.
This Time It's Personal
Brann: There are some moments I put in there from a very specific time in my life, which I've never really done before. The music really called for it. Brent wrote most of the music and Brent, Troy, and I wrote most of the lyrics. Brent has dug deeper with the music and there was stuff in my past I hadn't really touched on lyrically before. I felt this was the perfect opportunity.
Bill: After the MTV Video Music Awards, Brent was badly injured.
Troy: We got this call that one of our brothers had brain injuries. That could be death or permanent damage to his motor skills. For a moment there, we were truly in shock, but first and foremost, we were concerned about our friend's well-being. None of us has ever taken our band and career and wonderful experiences for granted. We know that any day, no matter what, anything can be stripped from you. That would have been devastating. And it did cross our minds that that this could have been our last day as Mastodon. That last night could have been our last gig.
Brann: The Brent thing brought us closer. We had to forge ahead. Brent's in the hospital, fucked up, but we need to go to the practice space. I don't care if we write anyt hing, but we need to go there and be there and be in this band. And when he comes back he'll be back.
Troy: It affected me and the whole band the same. It takes moments like that in your personal life or band life or job life or anything – you have to step back, reconfigure your intentions of where your thoughts and desires are. It affected our whole thinking process and every emotion on the album. We were forced to take moments to step back and realize something more sincere.
Brent: I was so glad to be alive when it was all over. So glad to be have my motor skills back and be able to function again. I was laid up pretty hardcore for a couple of months. So when I finally started playing guitar again I was really into playing guitar. It was a creative outburst. Don't know if it came from the accident or not. But when I found out I was okay, I was really excited about playing guitar. Now I'm already tired of it and someone can knock me out again.
Bill: There's a lyric in the song "Oblivion" that goes: "Fall from grace, because I've been away so long." The way I think of that is Brent singing about his own injury or where he was out of it for a few months. The album has a personal side, but jumps around a little. It's not just a whole record about a certain thing. There are lyrics about black holes and secret societies and wormholes and the magnet of wisdom. I don't know exactly what it means. But the content really paints a picture in your head. A magnet of wisdom? What is that? Some giant brain in the universe pulling things toward it? I love it. Not like any other band or writing that I've ever seen or heard before. It's cool.
Getting Conceptual
Brent: We were thinking about the next element. We've got water with our album Leviathan and earth in Blood Mountain. So what next? Skye, the spelling is Brann's sister, who passed away as a kid. That's her name. He has it tattooed on his neck. Blood Mountain was metaphorically about us signing with Warner Bros., climbing this mountain. Now the hard part is to impress these guys and show we're worth every dime they've put into us. Leviathan was about chasing the white whale, which we could understand — getting into our white van and leaving our families and friends and jobs like those fishermen did. Crack The Skye could mean we're going through the roof with this one. Go up and crack a hole in the sky.
Bill: There are songs telling a story from one man's eyes. I don't know if "ambiguous" is the right word, but there is purposeful double meaning. It's more about what you think it means, so you can form your own opinion. It touches on Rasputin and the Czar and the plotting and murder of him — also stepping out of your body and astral planning.
Brann: This story is a multi-dimensional journey starting in present day. Leaving a crippled body using astral travel, up into outer space, too close to the sun. Ripped into a wormhole and sent to the spirit realm. Convincing sprits that you're not one of them. Channeling you into a Russian Orthodox sect called the Khlysty in the early 20th century. Into Rasputin's body for his assassination. Out of his body and up through a crack in the sky and passing through the Devil's dominion without being dragged to hell and back into present day.
Means of Production
Bill: Working with Brendan O'Brien, this was the time to get busy with a real guy. We had opportunities to do a lot more on this record than on the last couple of records. There's more concept; it's a more layered record. For us it's always been about the whole record as a piece. We had 15 songs to choose from and it happened that seven of those sounded like they were coming from the same direction.
Troy: We felt it was the hand of fate that fell upon us. We had meetings with Brendan over coffee here in Atlanta and he said, "There are a lot in the demos I like. What kind of record do you want to make?" We said we had a classic rock feel in mind. There are a lot of those elements in it. And that's what he is, from Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan — he's a rock 'n' roll producer. And he works and lives here in Atlanta and we really wanted to work at home. And Brendan said, "Well, I was already committed to doing AC/DC so I can get to you when that's done." And we said, "Dude! That's perfect!" We felt we were following in another great set of footsteps. Only furthered the coolness factor.
He brought an extremely natural representation of what Mastodon sounds like live. Not a lot of bells and whistles, not a lot of compression. Raw yet big-sounding representation of what Mastodon plainly is. Bringing our keyboard player was wonderful too. Brann kept it stripped down so we were able to add keys here, piano there, a little banjo as an intro, but overall stripped down, raw and big.
Brann: Scott Kelly from Neurosis sang on the title song. He's one of our really close friends and it was important to us to include him on the record. That riff, we heard his vocals all over it and he's no stranger to tragedy so he knew what to do.
Progressive Policies
Bill: I was a fan of early Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson. They would have 15- or 20-minute songs and you wouldn't even notice the length. It was like a movement — something real happening before my eyes to watch a band like that. All of us come from that school. I know we're all in our 30s, but we can all relate. Kids today need that. They need a good dose, not copied from the '70s, but new versions. Progressive on top of progressive, on the roots of Mastodon, still those heavy things and have your fans grow with you. There's no formula. We can play any style we want for as long as we all feel it.
And on this record there's a lot more singing and harmonizing, less screaming. We're honing our skills in our music. More hard rock than dirty Southern metal. Some bands can be pigeonholed and stay in the genre they came up with. But we needed to really step it up this time. We just made a better record than the last record and that's what we want to do the rest of our lives.
Brann: It feels like we're a new band — like we cracked some wall. It's a really good place to be. Collectively, we've all been doing music our whole lives, the last nine years together, and you wonder when this is gonna fizzle out. But for it to change like this at this point, and be this new fresh thing has really revitalizes everybody. It puts a whole new spin on the project and I feel we've almost reinvented ourselves. As heavy as the record is for me to listen to, it makes me think, "Wow! Now we're on this trip and the next few records will keep evolving in this style."

Amazon Kindle was one of the first eBook readers to be launched and is still one of the most popular devices. The information below outlines the main differences within the Kindle range for reading eBooks, newspapers and magazines.
The Kindle Fire HD was released in 2012. A new version, and the Kindle Fire HDX, both with improved accessibility features, were released in October 2013.
Kindle Fire HDs all have full colour screens and are capable of playing films, TV shows and games, as well as having a Store from which further apps can be downloaded. They can also be used as eBook readers!
There is no on-going charge for the 4G/3G capability. All three have very clear colour touch screens, and good contrast between the white or orange text on a black background for the Home screen and menus. When reading a book, you can change size of text and choose between white text on black, black text on white and black text on sepia.
The Kindle Fires have a text-to-speech function, called "Screen Reader", and another accessibility feature called "Explore by touch". On the 2013 models, these can be turned on independently during initial set up of the device. Once they are on, you can use standard Android gestures to open the Books app, browse the list of books, open one and read it without being able to see the screen. You can also check the spelling of words, look them up in the dictionary, or select text to highlight or annotate.
Braille support is available for a few recently released Bluetooth displays via the BrailleBack app which has to be downloaded and installed separately.
As well as font options for book content, there is a Large Font Size setting to make menus and on-screen controls easier to see, and a
Screen Magnifier for greater enlargement of all screen content except for the on-screen keyboard.
One of the features on the Kindle Fire HDX, is Mayday, which puts you in direct contact with an Amazon tech advisor who can help you with problems. What happens if a low vision reader tries to use the feature?
Kindle Paperwhite is an eInk touchscreen device based on the new "Carta" display technology, giving a resolution of 212 ppi. It has a built-in front light of variable brightness, and a range of font sizes and shapes.
It is available as Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi + 3G - there is no on-going charge for the 3G capability. The Wi-Fi only model weighs 206g, with the Wi-Fi + 3G version weighing 213g.
It has internal storage for over 1000 books and, although it has no SD card slot, it does offer free cloud storage.
The battery should last for up to 28 hours with the light on full brightness.

Tagged: Warchief of the Horde
Hordely an Alliance…
Ha.. play on words…
Recently I read a post on a blog called "Be MOP" (go forth a read this blog, it's awesome) Regarding whether or not there can be peace on Azeroth. It brought to light some of my own feelings, especially given my faction change at the end of Wrath from Horde to Alliance (to play with friends… I miss my Taurens so much)
As I type, the war in Pandaria rages on. Horde and Alliance fighting along the beach front of Krasarang wilds, each one trying to gain as many resources as possible to aid in their war effort. This is nothing new, we have seen this before, even without the quest lines to play it out for us. I remember my first foray into Ashenvale and coming across the Warsong Lumber Camp. There were no quests here for me, but it still intrigued me. It was gritty, and filled with orc peons (haha peons…) wandering around gathering lumber. But what for?
I guess the thing that jumps to my mind is that the leader of the Horde is not a king, a prime minister, or… I dunno… a Tsar! They're a warchief. So as far as the Horde is concerned, they're always preparing for war, whether there be one or not. It is the essence of the Horde. To fight. The original Horde arrived in Azeroth, tainted with demon's blood and hungry for battle. So it goes without saying that the two factions will never truly live in peace, the sins of the fathers and such.
However the tenuous relationship between the Tauren's and the Horde is becoming more and more strained. The tauren's are indebted to the Horde for helping them drive back the centaur and reclaim the plains of Mulgore, however when Garrosh killed Cairne, the anger and betrayal that ripped through the Tauren's was horrific. Garrosh caused the rift to begin with, by heeding Magatha Grimtotem's offer of 'help', thereby allowing her to strike the fatal blow, through Garrosh's hands. With Cairne dead, Magatha then attacked Tauren towns and destroyed them, hoping to kill Baine at the same time.
Some may say that Garrosh atoned for that by refusing to aid Magatha in her defense of Thunder Bluff when Baine launched his assault on it to take it back, however he also did not offer any aid to Baine, even though it was Garrosh's hand and actions that brought this upon the Tauren.
I'm getting a touch off track here.
It just seems that this expansion is not just about the war between the two factions, but also the tenuous relationships that hold them together. Everyone knows Garrosh has to go… it's pretty much inevitable. He's a warmongering, blood thirsty leader and as such is leading his Horde the same way that they were lead by Blackhand (although under the influence and power of Gul'dan) he wants war. He wants to own everything. He is ruthless in his onslaught, seeking out anything and everything that can aid him in his conquest of the alliance, Azeroth, and now Pandaria.
Then we have the Alliance. All bright n shiny! Ooooo shiny…
Even they're having their fair share of in house arguments at this time. I have just finished my shieldwall quests and the story the evolved from those was a very engaging one. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Seeing the change in Varian, brought about in part by Anduin, has been interesting. This then follows to the change in Jaina Proudmoore. Normally so collected, and calm… the betrayal from within her own Kirin'Tor by the Sunreavers has all but left her, what appears to be, a little mad. I can't say as much on this point as I am yet to read "Tides of War" but it's almost like she's finally let the anger, and rage that has been following her around since her childhood, and then early adulthood regarding Arthas/The Lich King, then the destruction of her home Theramore has gotten the better of her.
There is a questline within Shieldwall that takes you to Darnassus. It is here that you learn the Divine Bell that the Alliance (you) had found and then had spirited away, was in fact being housed and protected in the Elven City. However it has been taken. You follow Jaina on a tracking mission only to come across a portal to Dalaran. In that instance Jaina seems to snap. She realizes that people from within the Kirin'Tor (the Sunreavers) were behind the theft, and thus have been enfolded into the Horde. She goes on the warpath back in Dalaran, and sends you to kill high ranking Sunreaver's throughout the Magic City.
All through the last part of this quest line, Jaina is disregarding everything Varian is saying to her. In essence she is operation on her own, not heeding any advice from anyone. The once stalwart, impartial Mage, she is now a woman scorned, mobilizing her Kirin'Tor against the horde. Varian is not pleased with this, he believes that everyone needs to stick together, as is the meaning of "Alliance" her parting words to him were "Don't go soft on me Varian."
I believe Varian is trying to be better, because it's what Anduin is hoping for. Anduin doesn't want any harm brought to Pandaria (too late little man!!) and as such, Varian is trying his hardest to protect those he loves and cares about, including his people, without resorting to the type of viciousness and brutality that Garrosh enjoys. However it's causing a rift between him and the other governing bodies of the Alliance. There's another quest line that involves a Sha Touched Claw (not the one from the Sha of Anger) When it is brought before the leaders of the Alliance, most of them want to study it, to try and harness it's power to use against the Horde. Varian asks Anduin (Wait what?!) if he thinks this is a wise move. Anduin disagrees, stating that the dark sha power is too unpredictable and should be destroyed… So Varian destroys it.
In an effort to please his son, and an attempt to be less brutal, he is in turn creating tension between himself and the others. So peace on Azeroth… I don't see it coming any time soon. I believe that if there is a tenuous peace between the Horde and Alliance, it would only be because they are too busy fighting among themselves. For this is what is happening, from my perspective, right now.
Ahh may the mists guide you…

You can reach almost every corner of Sardinia by train – as long as you're not in a hurry. British author D.H. Lawrence made this discovery a century ago. The best way to explore the island is by Trenino Verde: these green trains ride during the summer months (from mid-June to mid-September). There are 4 different itineraries, covering a network of 404 kilometres of narrow-gauge rails through the mountainous interior to the lushest and most beautiful regions of Sardinia. Tutti a bordo!
"We take the slow train, no matter where it goes." That is what Lawrence wrote in 1921 in his book Sea and Sardinia. And he was right. A ride on the Sardinian narrow-gauge train is an experience; a feast for the eyes with postcard perfect views. The trains didn't actually earn their name from their green colour, but rather because they go through pristine nature areas that are inaccessible to cars. In addition to the regular green trains, you can also take a ride on a steam locomotive or a vintage carriage.
The regular train from Cagliari connects in Mandas with the Trenino Verde to Arbatax: a 5-hour ride with countless turns over a 125-year-old railway, through the heart of the green mountains of Ogliastra to the east coast. Through tunnels and over bridges, the train climbs to the highest point Arzana at 868 metres before winding its way down to sea level. A real roller-coaster ride.
Departure station: ARST Stazione Ferroviaria di Mandas, Via Cagliari 1, Mandas,http://www.treninoverde.com/
Another route you can access from Cagliari is the Trenino Verde from Isili to Sorgono. The 83-kilometre stretch takes 3 hours but it's worth the effort. Heading north through the interior, the train climbs to an elevation of 800 metres, chugging its way through quiet mountain villages and old stations that were closed down many years ago. The final destination, Sorgono, is beautifully located in a valley on the edge of Golfo di Orosei National Park.
Departure station: Stazione di Isili, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Isili,http://www.treninoverde.com/
This narrow gauge train in the far north of Sardinia takes you in 3.5 hours from Sassari (30 minutes from Alghero) to Palau on the north coast, across from the Maddalena archipelago. The train travels through the old city of Tempio Pausania in the Gallura mountains. This train takes countless turns, bridges and terminus loops at a high elevation. The views become increasingly expansive, overlooking granite mountains, forests of cork trees and the Mediterranean Sea.
Departure station: Stazione di Sassari, Piazza della Stazione, Sassari,http://www.treninoverde.com/
Although it's the shortest of the 4 routes, it's also quite stunning: in 2 hours you will travel from the mountain village of Macomer in Campeda (accessible from Nuoro), through the sloping vineyards of Planargia and wine-growing villages such as Tresnuraghes to the port of Bosa on the west coast. We highly recommend disembarking along the way to sample the outstanding Malvasia wine.
Departure station: Stazione di Bosa Marina, Via Cristoforo Colombo, Bosa,http://www.treninoverde.com/

On Saturday, New York police officers shot and killed 16-year-old Kimani Gray. There are conflicting reports as to what happened; the officers at the scene say Gray pulled a gun on them, while the late teen's cousin says someone else said he was adjusting his pants, reports the New York Times.
The police said the officers, patrolling in an unmarked car in East Flatbush, came upon the teenager, identified as Kimani Gray, 16, in a group of men just before 11:30 p.m. The teenager separated himself from the group and adjusted his waistband in what the police described as a suspicious manner.
As officers got out of the car to question him, Mr. Gray turned and pointed a .38-caliber Rohm revolver at them, the police said; two officers fired, hitting the teenager. He was pronounced dead a short time later at Kings County Hospital Center.
Mr. Gray did not fire the handgun, which was recovered at the scene. Paul J. Browne, the chief spokesman for the Police Department, said the six-shot revolver was loaded with four live rounds …
A woman who identified herself as Kimani Gray's cousin said that a witness to the shootng told her that Mr. Gray, who was known as Kiki, was attempting to pull his pants up when he was shot …
Mr. Gray was the second youngest of seven children; his older brother, Jamar, died in a car accident two years ago, Mr. Vernon said, adding that Mr. Gray's mother, Carol, had fainted at the hospital and was having heart problems.

Science and the Spiritual Quest was an international program conducted by
the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences in collaboration with several
partner organizations. From 1996-2003, SSQ focused on the
ethical and spiritual questions raised by the best of contemporary science.
Our mission was to invite leading scientists into dialogue, through private
workshops, on the connections between their scientific pursuits and their
spiritual practices, and to present the results of this dialogue to a
worldwide public audience through conferences, publications, and multimedia
resources. SSQ did not advocate a particular religious or scientific position
or a specific outcome for discussions between science and religion. Rather, we
sought to promote open and authentic dialogue on this topic within the
scientific community, and to offer the insights and questions resulting from
these discussions to the public.
During its seven years the Science and the Spiritual Quest program involved
over 120 distinguished senior scientists in dialogue at the intersections of
science and spirituality. In conferences and workshops around the world, SSQ
demonstrated that scientists of Nobel caliber can also be people of faith,
and that those who are not traditionally religious can offer insights of great
value to religion. In an era of extreme specialization in the sciences,
scientists need every opportunity to broaden their horizons to embrace larger
philosophical and cultural contexts which will give their life's work
meaning beyond the confines of technical proficiency and professional success.
SSQ offered scientists free and open exploration of ideas, critical interaction
with colleagues, and equips them with tools for interdisciplinary work.
