The Library, a fascinating and exciting place. Many would laugh, but I love walking down the aisles, in peaceful quite, perusing which books I am going to lose myself in.
Benjamin Franklin was a great man, amongst his many inventions and discoveries, was the library. Back in the 1700's, books were very expensive, and hard to get, usually only the Clergy or wealthy had access to books. Franklin's idea came about during gatherings with the Junto Club, which he also started. The members of the Junto Club brought books to the gathering to share and discuss. It became bothersome to bring the books back and forth, from their homes to the meeting room, so they decided to leave the books in the meeting room. That way they could all benefit from the books and if someone wanted to take a book home he could, so starting the idea of the public library. Franklin's goal was to benefit the common people, so everyone would have access to books.
Books contains a wealth of knowledge and imagination, a vast array in which to lose oneself. When I am reading a book, everything around me ceases to exist. I am in the book, so to speak, so focused that no other thoughts are running thru my mind, just the book. It transports me to where ever the plot is and I am there, watching thru my imagination, and seeing the story unfold. It is an escape. A way to shut everything out and just focus on the book. I love to get lost in a book. There are days when you just need a few moments of escape and a book can transport you there.
I believe books and reading are a foundation for speaking and learning. It is so important to read to children.
Starting at a very early age or even still in the womb, I think reading is beneficial. It creates a bond. It starts the child on a path that reading is good and fun, hopefully that will carry thru to adolescents and teen years. It helps build a foundation for understanding and learning, it helps a child speak. Having a child develop a desire for reading will benefit them so much as they grow.

Career Advice >> Browse Articles >> Networking
13 Worst Networking Mistakes
Dan Woog | Monster Contributing Writer
You wouldn't wear jeans to a job interview, but do you pay as much attention to job-hunting etiquette when networking? If you're approaching potential contacts in an offhand way, you may be putting them off entirely. Learn what the most common networking mistakes are so you don't have to make them.
1. Waiting
Many people start networking only after they've lost their jobs. Effective networking means creating contacts and relationships while you're still employed.
2. Being Clueless
If you're heading to a networking event, make sure you know why you're going. Do you want a job? If so, are you seeking something specific, or will anything do? Are you looking for contacts or a mentor to provide guidance? As soon as someone starts talking with you, you have to hold up your end of the conversation. If you don't know what you want, you can't do that.
3. Being Unprepared
Thinking you know what you want is not the same as knowing it. Treat networking the same way you would an appearance at Carnegie Hall. Practice your pitch as well as your answers to questions about your career goals that might arise.
4. Forgetting Business Cards
There is nothing more embarrassing than establishing a good relationship with someone, extracting a pledge of help and then searching around for a cocktail napkin to write on. Spend a few extra bucks to print professional-looking cards on good-quality paper.
5. Using a Silly-Sounding Email Name
Sure, your friends know you as "SexyMama4U" or "TimeForHemp," but when looking for work, stick to a serious email address, such as your real name.
6. Being Pompous
While you're networking, you need to listen to what everyone else is saying. People help by offering advice. They are not interested in hearing how much you already know.

How To Choose Good Topics To Write An Argumentative Essay On
The first thing you want to do as soon as you get your assignment for your argumentative essay, you need to pick a good topic. You have to consider multiple topics that have two conflicting points or ones that have two different conclusions. Having a strong interest in the topic is good but it is not required, through research you should be able to find a good topic. When you are doing your research, you should make list of both sides of the argument, after you have this list then you should be able to pick a side that you are on.
Remember that your argument has to be written without emotion and has to be on fact. This means your topic should be something that you don't have a personal connection with or your essay will lack the proof you need to support your point of view. Here are some tips you can use for your essay, don't use emotional language, learn the difference between an emotional point of view and a logical one, don't use information that you made up to support your claim, cite your work, use an outline, and make sure you are prepared to defend your argument if you are challenged.
Good Argumentative Topics
- Why are Americans more prone to obese than other countries?
- Are Vegetarian diets healthier than a normal diet?
- Is sugar really bad for your health?
- What can we do to ensure that everyone around the world has access to clean drinking water?
- Hunting, is it a good thing or a bad thing to control animal population?
- Is recycling really worth it or does it make a difference on the environment?
- Should at least on parent stay home with their kids?
- How can you tell if you are in an abusive relationship and why do people stay in these kinds of relationships?
- Which is better, reading a book on a screen or reading a physical book? What is the difference between the two?
- Should parents be allowed to choose the genetics that their kids inherent?
- Does cell phone really cause cancer or is this a myth?
- Is it better to be an only child or to have multiple siblings?
These topics should get you started on your argumentative essay. You can also find more topics online for various subjects. Just make sure you pick on that has two compelling sides of the argument, so your essay will be interesting.

Avoncroft Cattle Breeders
The farmer owned Co-Operative was set up in 1944 with a grant from the Cadbury Trust (The Cadbury Quaker family of chocolate makers). Operating under a Ministry of Agriculture licence Avoncroft Cattle Breeders was run by a Board of Directors of local dairy farmers.
Avoncroft Cattle Breeders ran an AI service for over 3,500 farmers in the West Midlands with AI technicians operating out of five centres at Hereford, Bromyard, Alcester, Banbury and Faringdon.
The head offices in Bromsgrove also housed laboratories and collection facilities for up to 120 bulls, used both for the AI service and export. British Friesian bulls were then the main breed on the stud with Canadian Holstein gradually replacing the British Friesian as the preferred dairy breed with many beef bulls also being collected for the AI service. Collection and storage of privately owned bulls was also part of the business.
For marketing purposes Avoncroft Cattle Breeders were linked to the SuperSires Group along with Dartington Cattle Breeders, Somerset Cattle Breeders, Hampshire Cattle Breeders and Scottish Livestock Services. By the 1990s Avoncroft Cattle Breeders had in excess of 20,000 UK wide farmer members of the Co-Operative and over 30 AI technicians in the field.
In 1995 Avoncroft Cattle Breeders acquired Black & White Sires followed by Herdwise in 1996. These brought a national sales team to Avoncroft along with branches in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Also an AI service was set up operating out of Tiverton in Devon and we started using the name Avoncroft Sires.
In 2000 CR Delta (now CRV) purchased Avoncroft and we became Avoncroft Sires Ltd. The Irish companies were closed.
Over the following four years the assets of the original Avoncroft Cattle Breeders, land buildings etc were sold and proceeds distributed to the remaining members. We believe that the distribution of assets was based on the buying history of each member during the last three years of trading.
As part of the CR Delta group Avoncroft Sires Ltd offices and semen store moved to Stoke Prior near Bromsgrove. During the Foot & Mouth crisis of 2001 the entire AI service of Avoncroft was ended.
In 2004 Avoncroft Sires Ltd was sold to five former employees and became Avoncroft Genetics Ltd with offices in Bewdley.
In 2014 CRV bought Avoncroft Genetics Ltd and we became CRV Avoncroft.


text: How to Know When Its Time for a Furnace Repair Posted February 16, 2018 In East Bernard you count on your furnace to keep you warm throughout the winter. If it's been a while since you had a routine maintenance appointment for your heat pump, you could be needing a furnace fix-up visit sooner rather than later. At the very least, you probably have a dirty air filter, which can obstruct air flow and effect your furnace's execution. It could even create issues with your furnace's limit switch, which controls furnace operation. There are a few other reasons you may need a furnace repair. We've collected some indicators for you to scan for. The earlier you can call for a heat pump service, the better. Call in a professional, like E B Air Conditioning & Heating Service, if you notice any of these indicators: Your blower doesn't seem to be operating properly. Is it running enough? Is it operating all the time? Is the air blowing through as liberally as it should, or does it seem feeble? Indications related to your blower could signify a minor problem with your air filter or the indoor blower. Your home isn't getting warm enough. Are you ramping up the thermostat again and again, but you're still chilly? This could be a difficulty with your thermostat. It might be that your furnace is too undersized for your home. It may even be a problem with your gas source or your pilot light, among other things. Your furnace is loud. If your furnace starts operating noisily or generating noises you're not used to hearing, there could be trouble. You smell gas. You definitely don't want to mess around with this one. If you smell gas, cut off your furnace right away and shut down its gas supply. Stay clear from lighting matches or changing on lights until your HVAC expert or your gas company inspects it. You find water pooling around your furnace. Often times this is a clogged condensation line. This could need both plumbing and HVAC pros to solve. Your utility bill keeps growing. If your bill is increasing, but your usage is not, there could be a number of complications. Your HVAC professional will help find out what's going wrong. Now that you've read these symptoms, you'll know when you need to arrange furnace repair. And we're here when you need it. Call E B Air Conditioning & Heating Service at 979-323-6109 when you need to schedule repairs or annual maintenance. Back To Blog

Last week, I wrote an article for the Northern Kentucky Tribune on Ed-Mar Dairy Farm in Walton, Kentucky. Although rural Northern Kentucky may not be where most people expect to find artisanal, handcrafted cheeses, Ed-Mar defies expectations. Their aged, raw milk cheeses can be found in some of the best restaurants and stores throughout the Cincinnati metro, and it all starts with quality milk from happy cows.
Eddie, the owner of Ed-Mar (named for Eddie and his wife Marcy), comes from a long line of dairy farmers. Until quite recently, Eddie ran the farm in the traditional way, milking each of his 50 cows by hand twice a day. Although his cows still enjoy grazing in fields of clover and eating corn grow on-site, a milking robot named Pearl has brought technology to the farm in a dramatic way.
In documentaries and photographs that I have seen of most milking machines, the cows don't get treated with dignity and respect. Farmhands manually attach large suctioned tubes to each utter, whether the cow wants it or not, and she is milked dry like an assembly line process. At Ed-Mar, this image couldn't be further from the truth.
Most importantly, Eddie's cows decide when they want to be milked. Whenever she wants, day or night, a cow can walk up to the machine, grab a tasty snack from the feeding trough and wait for Pearl to do its magic. According to Eddie, the cows mainly come for the feed, which is tastier than their normal fare and more like dessert.
During the actual milking process, Pearl continues to treat the cow with respect and gentleness. I was lucky enough to watch Pearl in action when I visited Ed-Mar, and I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. It begins by washing the cow's underbelly, spraying her with soapy water and then gently cleaning her with a foam brush. Next, the laser guided arm goes underneath the cow and slowly puts the utters into rubber tubes. Finally, the cow is milked and walks away whenever she finishes.
Each cow is fitted with a radio collar so that Pearl can recognize her individually when she comes to be milked. This intuitive technology means that Pearl can portion out the right amount of feed, know exactly where the cow's utters are and never over-milk.
Currently, there are only three milking robots like Pearl in Kentucky, and when Eddie bought it two years ago he was the first. Although technology and farming aren't always the best bedfellows, in this case, Pearl surprisingly helps both the farm and the cows.
Despite Pearl's success for Ed-Mar – it has boosted milk production by 20% – Eddie still struggles to turn a profit from selling his milk alone. Since Ed-Mar lacks a pasteurizing facility, Eddie has to sell his milk to a producer, a Kroger co-op processing plant in Winchester, KY. While the co-op makes Ed-Mar's milk production process consistent because they pick up the farm's 1,000 gallons of milk every other day, the caveat to the system is the dismal pay.
For the most part, large milk production facilities are supplied by equally large-scale farms with hundreds to thousands of cows. Such mass production means lower overheads for the farms and the ability for manufacturers to pay less for the milk. Unsurprisingly, when farmers like Eddie insist on treating their cows well and keeping their farms small and manageable, they wind up being fleeced by the corporate producers.
With an eye to the future, Eddie began expanding Ed-Mar's production to include cheese. Three years ago, Eddie and his cheese production manager, Maggie, partnered with an artisanal cheese maker near Louisville and began making aged, raw milk (unpasteurized) cheese. Although Ed-Mar only uses one day's worth of milk (about 500 gallons) for cheese making a month, the results have been tremendous and have given new life to the farm.
In order to stand out, Ed-Mar decided to craft English style cheeses, which are rare for this area. Midwesterners, for the most part, prefer American cheeses like jack and cheddar. However, since Ed-Mar markets its products to high-end farm-to-table restaurants and local grocery stores, they can risk making lesser-known cheeses.
Ed-Mar currently makes five flavors: Maddie's Gold (a Double Gloucester), Banklick Cream (a Cotswold), Banklick Pub (which includes chives), Garden Herb (a Banklick base with rosemary, thyme and other herbs) and Kenton County Colby (for the unadventurous palate). Fortunately for me, Eddie, Maggie and Rachel – the head of marketing for Ed-Mar – generously provided me with packages of each cheese for my wife and I to enjoy. And enjoy we did!
Although each of the cheeses were great on their own, they were even better with a small dollop of apricot jam. My favorite of the bunch was the Maddie's Gold, which reminded me of an aged, extra-sharp cheddar. I also think it would work excellently in shrimp and grits.

Make your visit to Paris even better by staying in a hotel that offers you a unique insight into the city's past. The Good Hotel Guide has created a shortlist of ten of the best historic hotels: some are former private mansions once occupied by the nobility that have been beautifully restored; others are less extravagant but have a fascinating history nonetheless.

You really will feel like you've travelled back in time the minute you step into the Hotel Caron de Beaumarchais. The public rooms are furnished just as they would have been for a noble family living in the Marais in the 18th century, with elaborate window drapes and chandeliers. Rooms have original beams and are furnished with antiques, and bathrooms feature exquisite hand-painted tiles. The hotel was inspired by the playwright Caron de Beaumarchais, who wrote "The Marriage of Figaro" (later turned into an opera by Mozart) in 1784, when he lived on a street nearby.

The Place des Vosges, Paris' oldest square, was commissioned by Henry IV in 1605, and one of its finest mansions is now a gorgeous boutique hotel, Pavillon de la Reine. Wrought iron gates lead into a courtyard and the creeper-clad exterior of the hotel, and many original features have been retained, such as exposed oak beams, flagstone floors and a vaulted cellar that is now the breakfast room. Rooms are decorated in 18th century style, with canopied beds, oil paintings, flocked fabric wall coverings and period furniture.

Andre Breton, the founder of the Surrealist movement, lived at the Hotel des Grands Hommes when he first arrived in Paris from Normandy in 1815, and he wrote his manifesto here. Empire-style influences remain, with antique furniture and toile de Jouy fabrics, and a number of classical busts in the reception area pay homage to the Pantheon opposite, the resting place of many notable figures including Emile Zola, Victor Hugo and Voltaire.

This hotel is located in St-Germain-des-Pres, an area steeped with history; Camus, Sartre, Verlaine and Rimbaud all lived here, Serge Gainsbourg lived in a house opposite the hotel until his death in 1991, and American novelist James Baldwin was a guest in 1948. Previously a 17th century townhouse, the Hotel Verneuil has typically small rooms; exposed timber ceiling beams and the original staircase point to its origins, but rooms are furnished in a more modern style, with leather headboards and crisp linens in a muted, chic palette.

A former 17th century townhouse, the Hotel d'Aubusson has retained a grand period style and the lobby is especially magnificent; rooms are furnished in Louis XV and Regency antiques. The downstairs bar (pictured) opened in 1690 and counted Robespierre, Rousseau and Voltaire amongst its customers. In 1946 it was renamed Café Tabou and was a popular gathering for post-war intellectuals including Sartre and Camus, but it has now reverted to its original name, Café Laurent, and hosts regular jazz evenings.

You don't have to splash huge amounts of money to stay in one of the oldest hotels in Paris. Hotel Chopin has been open every day since 1846 and is located at the end of a covered pedestrian walkway. In the 1850s, the existence of over 150 such walkways meant you could cross most of Paris regardless of the weather, but building works by Haussmann destroyed all but 30 of them, and the passage and the façade of the hotel have been classified as French national monuments. In 1970 the hotel was renamed after the famous composer, who apparently used the passage regularly.

Although the Hotel Duc de Saint-Simon is located just off the Boulevard St Germain, it feels quiet and secluded. The hotel was previously an 18th century townhouse, and many original period features and architectural details remain. The basement lounge, consisting of a series of vaulted rooms, dates from the 16th century. Rooms are stylish, floral fabric wall coverings match the curtains and bedspreads, and silk lampshades give off a warm glow.

Hotel Clement is another property that has loads of character and offers great value, especially given its location. This charming small hotel (28 rooms on six floors) was built in 1895 and has been in the same family for over 100 years. Rooms in the garret may have sloping walls, but they are very romantic, with great views over St Germain market.

This former hotel particulier (private mansion) was built in the early 19th century and meticulously restored by the owner-manager, Jean-Marc Pommier. The décor at the Hotel de Varenne is classic Louis XVI and Empire style, with fine antiques; the reception desk is an antique writing table and rooms are all individually decorate in tasteful greens, gold, reds and blues. Most of the rooms look onto a lovely courtyard, giving the hotel a delightful country feel.

Oscar Wilde died in Room 16 of L'Hotel in 1900 (when it was the dingy boarding house Hotel d'Alsace), famously remarking, "either that wallpaper goes, or I do". Other famous guests since then include Marlon Brando, Salvador Dali, Princess Grace of Monaco and Frank Sinatra. There's little history in the current décor: now a design hotel, all 20 rooms over six floors are individually decorated in a theatrically flamboyant style, with patterned wallpaper, plush fabrics and original artworks. It's still a fun place to stay in, though, and the bar is great for people watching.

Last week, the heartwarming photograph of a young girl in tears after meeting President Obama took the Internet by storm.
The image, captured by White House photographer Pete Souza, features Janiya Penny, an 8-year-old from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., who finally had her dream come true through the Make-A-Wish foundation.
Penny has sickle cell anemia, a life-threatening disease that often leaves her in excruciating pain. She was approached by Make-A-Wish almost three years ago. When they found out that she wanted to meet the President, they tried to get her to change her wish — they just weren't sure they could make it happen.
Penny, however, was resolute, says her mother, Breale Gray.
"I'm his number one fan," Penny told HuffPost.
It all began in 2008, Gray told HuffPost, when Penny and her mother closely followed the election of the first African-American president. Although Penny was only 4 at the time, her mother says that she already had a sense of the significance of the historical moment.
They stayed up late to watch President Obama give his inaugural speech. Penny proclaimed that it was due to her wearing her Obama T-shirt on election day that the President was able to win.
Almost four years later, on August 8, 2012, Penny finally got to meet her hero.
Penny's mother, brother, and grandfather all came along for the ride, and when they finally reached the Oval Office, Penny wasn't the only one crying.
Penny and her family were given the V.I.P. treatment at the White House, with a complete tour of the grounds, pictures with the President, and lots of gifts.
"He gave her a signed book of the Constitution, that says 'Best Wishes Janiya, Dream Big' and special buttons and tokens," Gray said.
"He signed my 'J' hat and gave me a bag of M&Ms," Penny added.
The day couldn't have been any better for the little girl, who remembers being able to climb under the guard ropes at the White House, sitting on all the couches, and seeing the Lincoln Memorial.

Courier Mail Website wrote:Luxury cruise passengers forced to wade through water.
Melissa Ketchell
February 26, 2008 03:35pm
PASSENGERS enjoying the opulence on one of the world's newest cruise liners were forced to wade across a flooded tarmac of the grain terminal this morning as Cunard's Queen Victoria docked in Brisbane.
One dismayed passenger asked a waiting photographer: "Who's going to pay for my shoes?"
Passengers on the Queen Victoria are used to five-star surroundings. The best cabins cost up to $5400 a night. The cheapest are $810.
Betty and John Martin were among those to brave ankle-deep water at the grain terminal.
The West Australian couple said Brisbane's arrival berth could use improving.
"If they are going to have big ships here all the time then they need to get a better place," Mrs Martin said. (Tonight, some motorists who'd driven to Luggage Point to watch the vessel depart were also hoping for a better place after their cars became bogged in the mud).
Like many modern cruisers, the QV is too tall to fit under the Gateway Bridge, so travellers had to disembark into a marquee before making the 30-minute bus trip to Brisbane city.
Carnival Australia's chief executive officer Ann Sherry said if Brisbane were to make the most of the booming growth in cruise travel another terminal had to be built on the Bay side of the Gateway Bridge.
Already Vietnam and other Asian ports were building new terminal facilities in a bid to increase the number of ships visiting their ports.
Today, as passengers on the Oriana disembarked at Hamilton to a modern facility, those on Queen Victoria were greeted with vistas of the grain berth silos and a busy port.
Queensland Tourism Industry Council chief executive officer Daniel Gschwind said the visit was a showcase event for Brisbane and Queensland and more must be done to make a better impression.
"We have to be professional about every aspect of the tourism industry," Mr Gschwind said.
"Portside is a good facility but the reality is some ships won't fit."
"If we don't have suitable facilities, temporary or otherwise, then Brisbane will be left out of scheduling."
Ms Sherry planned to use a VIP lunch with Premier Anna Bligh and Transport Minister Paul Lucas to discuss facilities for cruise ships.
She would like to see a new purpose built facility either at Fishermans Island or on a site adjoining the cement works on the opposite side of the river.
"The scale of what we're doing has crept up on the Government," Ms Sherry said.
The Queen Victoria docked today at the Fisherman Islands container terminal at the mouth of the Brisbane River, about 20km from the city centre.
The berth offered a less than glamorous view for the liner's more than 2000 guests, who travel in luxury with an 830-seat theatre, conservatory with retractable glass roof and grand ballroom.
A new cruise ship terminal was opened at Hamilton, in Brisbane's inner-north, in 2006, complete with shops and restaurants.
But the Queen Victoria - at 90,000 tonnes and 20 storeys high - could not fit under the Gateway Bridge in order to dock there.
Cunard shipping bosses questioned the location of the Hamilton terminal, saying it was built on the wrong side of the bridge to be of benefit to large ships.
Premier Anna Bligh said the terminal's operators decided its location on the basis of commercial feasibility at the time.
"We've now got significantly more numbers of very large ships and it's something that will have to be incorporated in the future," Ms Bligh told reporters in Brisbane today.
"We have a world-class cruise terminal, unfortunately not every ship of every size can access it, but it is something that is seeing ships on a very regular basis and will continue to into the future."
Ms Bligh said there was no indication that shipping companies were considering avoiding Brisbane because of unsuitable facilities.

A charity very dear to our hearts is LovingHumanity – we have supported Amy from the start and help financially where we can. In December 2018, Amy spoke passionately and movingly at the LiveTwice carol concert and the congregation gave very generously wanting to support her invaluable work.
Loving Humanity is a non-profit organisation, which was created out of a desire to support the Syrian refugees. They are particularly passionate about the health and wellbeing of girls and women.
Founded by Amy Peake in 2014, Loving Humanity aims to alleviate health problems associated with the lack of good quality and affordable sanitary pads.
They aim to restore dignity and create social uplift by creating employment for groups of women refugees. As well as providing sanitary pads, Loving Humanity also manufacture reusable nappies and incontinence pads too.
LiveTwice are pleased to have been able to continue to support the vital work Amy and her team are doing across refugee camps in Jordan, Turkey and beyond.
Loving Humanity have recently opened their own factory – a great moment and something Amy has been working tirelessly towards. They now employ 15 widows in the factory which has changed the lives of those who work in our factory in every possible way.
UNHCR have provided people to help the project which has been a huge help with the distribution of stock to the schools with sanitary products. It's a huge undertaking; in one school alone, there are over 100 girls who need help and there are 9 schools.
Another group the charity are able to help is families with children aged 2-3. The distribution of disposable nappies in the camp stops at the age of two, at which stage the parents must spend precious money on nappies or suffer the arduous task of cleaning all the bedding every day.
The incredible work of Loving Humanity has been recognised by the United Nations and has been put under it's protection programme for women. It is the first of its kind in the world and the feedback from the women and the success of this project has been and continues to be phenomenal; – not only ensuring dignity for women, but the wages earned by women working in the factory has transformed their lives in the camp.

Roses love food, water and mulch
Last updated 4/13/2018 at 1:13pm
What a year it's been so far. In most areas, gardeners had to work in a pruning schedule between weather spurts. Even with late pruning many gardeners are or are about to have their first flush of blooms. Climate change is influencing the weather and effecting the usual pruning schedule. The erratic temperatures also have a bearing on the growth of the plants. Periods of heat encouraged vegetative growth and bud formation with possibly shorter stems even though cool rains kept the soil cool.
If gardeners want the fullest blooms possible, supply plenty of water to the plants, don't flood...

U.S. Supreme Court to Decide Partisan Gerrymandering Case
Are lines drawn based on party affiliation constitutional?
The U.S. Supreme Court may provide an answer before the next round of redistricting commences in 2020.
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to review a case out of Wisconsin to determine if there are limits to drawing lines based on party affiliation.
Stay tuned.
The Nail Biting Begins
With arguments over affirmative action, gay marriage, Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, and patents over human genes already presented, the nail biting among court observers has certainly begun. If history is a guide, the most controversial decisions will be released in late June before the Court adjourns.
This term's cases will have a huge impact on social and political issues. Affirmative action in higher education could be outlawed, the Defense of Marriage Act could be declared unconstitutional, minority voting rights under Section 5 could be scaled back and human patenting could be prohibited.
In the coming weeks, SupremeCourtInsider.com will be analyzing the cases for the public's review.
Stay tuned.
U.S. Supreme Court to Consider Constitutionality of Section 5
On February 27, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider a challenge by Shelby County, Alabama (Shelby County v. Holder) (12-96), regarding the constitutionality of the 2006 reauthorization of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. In 2009, in Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District v. Holder, the Court said that it had "serious constitutional concerns", but it decided the case on other grounds.
The specific question the justices will consider is as follows:
""Whether Congress' decision in 2006 to reauthorize Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act under the pre-existing coverage formula of Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act exceeded its authority under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and thus violated the Tenth Amendment and Article IV of the United States Constitution."
The stakes are high in this case. The preclearance provisions in Section 5 have been used to ensure that minority rights are protected in covered jurisdictions, which have had a history of discrimination. Opponents of the reauthorization argue that the formula used in 2006 is outdated and does not reflect modern day realities of the electoral gains by minorities. Proponents maintain that preclearance under Section 5 is still necessary because discrimination still exists.
A decision is expected in June.
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor Captivates Austinites
Wearing an orange jacket and ear rings, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor left a memorable impression in Longhorn Country when she appeared yesterday in Overheard with Evan Smith in the KLRU studio at The University of Texas at Austin.
Justice Sotomayor, the 111th justice on the U.S. Supreme Court and the first Hispanic to serve on the High Court, came to Austin, a city she promised to visit again because of its music venues, to discuss her new book My Beloved World. The book is now ranked number one in the New York Times best sellers list.
The book provides a detailed glimpse of how a young Latina was able to overcome adversity through hard work, determination, and guidance from her mother and "abuelita". Justice Sotomayor told the audience that the message of the book is to "aim high to move forward." She also emphasized that it is okay not to know certain things. "You can't succeed if you are not willing to say, 'I don't know,'" said Justice Sotomayor.
Her most poignant advice was to an elementary student who asked what advice she would give a fifth grader with big dreams. After a brief pause, she said, "Do not be afraid of failure. Do not let fear stop you because it stops everyone else."
A participant in the audience asked her what advice she would give to aspiring law students. She was very honest in her response: "Don't practice law unless you have a passion for it."
After her presentation at The University of Texas Austin, she signed hundreds of books at Book People, an independent book store in Austin. At her signing, she was glad to see Professor Gerald Torres of The University of Texas School of Law. Professor Torres was a third year law student at Yale Law School when Justice Sotomayor began her legal studies there.
Austinites look forward to her return.

Here is my newest creation; a friction folder pocketknife. It started out as a small piece of 5160 I had cut off while trimming a larger blade (I'll post pics when I'm done with that one). I forged it into shape, did some trimmings here and there, straightened it, then I did the curls in the friction lever by heating and curling with pliers. Once all the forging and hot work was done, I normalized twice (which basically means taking out all of the stress formed in forging, and reduces grain size), then began the rough shaping using an angle grinder. Once the shaping was done, I ground in the secondary edge and brought the whole blade nice and thin. I left the friction lever alone, however, so I could keep the rough forged look on it.
I had, of course, started the process by drawing out a design to follow, which I tweaked and modified as I went through. Near the end of the forging process, I started to work on the general shape of the handle, which is made from maple wood. I would forgeforgeforge, and when I waited for the steel to heat up, I would trade off and start shaping the handle.
Back to the blade, near when the handle was at its final rough shaping, I drilled a hole for the pin. Then I went on to heat treating. Just for fun, I decided to try clay hardening, which I have done a few times before.
The clay I used was a simple mixture of ash, charcoal, plaster of paris (for the stickyness) and water. I covered the spine of the blade with the paste, and proceeded to heat to critical. For sake of time, I won't go into the details of how the clay heating works, but I'll just say that I have to heat the blade to critical temperature (the temperature the steel no longer sticks to a magnet) and then quench it in water or oil. The faster the cooling, the harder the blade. The clay slows down the cooling of the steel it covers, and so that area is much softer than the steel it does not cover. I didn't bother tempering any further as it was a small blade and wouldn't go under much stress (unlike some people, I don't use knives as crowbars).
I then began cutting into the wood so the blade could be inserted, starting with the back of the handle so the lever could be inserted to a little hole. I then drilled through the wood where the blade would be held in place with a pin. I finished all the carving, and proceeded to pin the blade in place. Unfortunately, I should have made the wood pin a little smaller, because when I pounded it in place it split the maple a little. I was able to fix that up with some elmer's wood glue though. Once that was in place, I decided to add a little sterling silver pin further down for decoration and support. I then did a little bit of further shaping, and sanded down the maple. I also polished the blade. Unfortunately, because I was working with 5160, no Hamon showed up, despite constant rubbing with lemon juice. Anyway, I then sharpened the blade. I think I did something right in the heat treating, because I was able to sharpen this baby up enough to shave hair off my arm. Most commercial knives I can only get to slice paper.
So there we go! My first friction folder (so called because it stays closed or open with friction). Side note: it stays open very well because I carved a special hole for the curl of the friction lever. One has to push hard to push it in and out of the hole.

I N Indian innovations are plenty and varied. They often arise not out of the need to solve some deep intellectual conundrum, but out of sheer necessity and desperation. Innovations which make life just a bit easier, or directly address the issue of cost and lack of access to basic infrastructure like electricity and water, are seen often in India. And more often than not, such innovations happen in the interiors of the country, which are that much more lacking in basic necessities and opportunities. These are also ideas which have not cost their inventor much capital and resources, just a lot of ingenuity and native wisdom.
Frugal innovations
Frugal innovations are being recognised as the acceptable, in fact, the desired way to innovate especially in poorer countries. Stripping the product of non-essentials and focusing on the core need, which in turn drive down the costs, is the way forward. Here's a look at a handful of such innovations, though there are a perhaps a million of them out there.
Traditionally, professional climbers have been engaged by coconut planters for plucking the fruits from the top of the coconut trees. Appachan developed this device under the guidance of his father. The coconut tree climber consists of two metal loops that are meant for holding the legs. They have a handle at the top for hand grip and a pedal base at the bottom. The loops are put around the tree trunk on the opposite sides. The loop on either side is lifted up by the simultaneous movement of the hand and feet. By such alternate motion, one can easily climb a coconut tree in minutes. Appachan and his tree climber bagged a prize in the farm implements category in the Second National Grassroots Technological Innovation and Traditional Knowledge Competition, organised by the National Innovation Foundation (NIF-India) in the year 2001-2002. Villagers then gave him the title 'the local Spiderman'. Coupled with some basic safety devices like a harness, this device makes climbing up a straight-trunk tree or a pole quick, easy and safe.
He made some other innovative products like the instrument that could squeeze coconut milk and juice from fruits. But his most popular innovation is the tree climber. Appachan's contribution is not only in inventing this particular tree climber but also in inspiring a whole lot of people. Prominent among them are innovators like Mushtaq Ahmad Dar of Jammu and Kashmir (featured earlier in this article), who has also developed a smaller pole-cum-tree-climber and D.N. Venkat of Tamil Nadu, who has developed a seating type tree climber.
These inventions have made a qualitative difference in the lives of the local communities. All these inventions were in direct answer to a felt need, which obviously wouldn't be addressed by formal channels. Indians are innovative, even in adverse circumstances. Rather, adversity brings out the best in us!

Lund, Sweden, 19th of December 2017 - Xintela AB (publ) announces today that the company has signed a collaboration agreement with the leading Japanese cell therapy company, CellSeed, for its development of a cell therapy product for the treatment of cartilage damage in the knee joint.
"It is very exciting that we have established a collaboration in Japan which, due to a new regulatory framework, has developed into a world-leading market in regenerative medicine", says Xintela's CEO Evy Lundgren-Åkerlund.
In the initial part of the collaboration, Xintela's integrin marker technology and quality control assay XACT (Xintela Assay for Cell Therapy) will be evaluated for the quality control of cartilage cells used in CellSeed's product development. The collaboration aims to conduct experimental analyzes to evaluate Xintela's marker technology for use in a long-term collaboration and license.
"The fact that CellSeed chooses to evaluate XACT for quality control of its cartilage cell product, confirms the value of Xintela's marker technology and demonstrates the potential of XACT", says Evy Lundgren-Åkerlund.
"Xintela has a unique and interesting integrin marker technology to control the quality of cartilage cells and we are very much looking forward to evaluating the markers for use in our product development", says CellSeed's CEO Setsuko Hashimoto.

About Xintela
Xintela develops medical products for regenerative medicine and cancer based on its proprietary marker technology, XINMARK®. Xintela uses the technology to select and assure the quality of mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of cartilage damage and osteoarthritis. In a study on horses, the company has shown that stem cells are safe to use and that they have a positive effect on the articular cartilage and the underlying bone after an injury. In addition, Xintela has developed an assay XACTTM for the quality control chondrocyte preprations in cell therapy of cartilage. XINMARK® is also used for the development of an antibody-based treatment (Antibody Drug Conjugate, ADC) against glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive form of brain tumors in adults. Positive preclinical results from cell studies and animal model have shown that the antibody has a killing effect on glioblastoma cells and thus has confirmed the concept. Xintela is listed on Nasdaq First North Stockholm since 22 March 2016. Xintela's Certified Adviser at Nasdaq First North is Erik Penser Bank AB, +46 8-463 80 00.

DayZ creator Dean Hall knows when his zombie survival hit will make its retail debut, but the rest of us remain in the dark.
If you're waiting for the official, retail release of DayZ, you'll be waiting a bit longer. How long? We aren't exactly sure.
Dean Hall, creator of the popular ArmA II modification focused on survival in the zombie apocalypse, offered the following words at the recent Rezzed 2013 conference:
I guess the big question that a lot of people have is when we're actually going to get [the retail version of DayZ] out.
We've set a date now ... like a window of about a week. And we're not going to say when that is because originally we were going to release [the game's keys] in 50,000 key increments, but we've kind of decided to do everything kind of all together.
We really want to focus on making sure the architecture is good, so that we can get feedback.
In sum, Hall knows when DayZ should appear, but wants to ensure that the game is as polished and comprehensive as possible before it officially greets the public.
Yes, DayZ has been available for months now, but that version of the game is technically a beta release and Hall has often stated that the retail incarnation of DayZ will feature more content and a number of design tweaks. This, combined with the en masse roll out, is why the game is currently not sitting on your hard drive in retail form.
With Hall mentioning a release window (even a secretive one), we have to expect he's nearing a point where he may feel comfortable nailing down an official public date. We'll keep our eyes out for that info and bring it to you just as soon as it's available.

Careers for the Handicapped in Medical Laboratories. Final Report.
Kenworthy, Betts
A survey of all hospitals accredited by the American Hospital Association was made to ascertain how the physically handicapped performed at jobs in medical laboratories. Detailed questionnaires were sent to laboratory directors, and the results were processed by computer to determine whether correlations exist between the number of disabled persons employed and the type of hospital, size of laboratory, and geographic location, and whether the type of disability has a significant relationship to type and time of training, job assignment, level of responsibility, and quality of work. A field study and demonstration program were also conducted in three states using interviews with the disabled and their supervisors. Most disabilities did not prevent successful performance of laboratory jobs, but there was a widespread lack of communication between counselors who advised the disabled and those who hired and trained workers. Of the 693 disabled included in the hospital survey, 91 percent were performing satisfactorily on the job. Attendance records were equal to or better than those of other employees; moreover, it was found that disabled persons remain on the job longer than the nondisabled. (BC)

Pair charged in Lancaster shooting
LANCASTER — Bond was denied Saturday for a Lancaster man and woman connected to the Friday night shooting of two people, including a retired city of Lancaster police officer.
Ray Knight was trying to help the victims of a car accident when he was shot, according to our news partner wsoctv.com. The retired officer's injuries did not appear to be life threatening, according to a press release issued Saturday from Tom Holland, staff attorney with the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office.
Information about the identity and condition of the other was not available.
Charles Walker Raffaldt Jr., 23, of 15840 Highway 200 and Stephanie Denise Myers, 21, of 1418 McIlwain Road each face kidnapping charges, an official from the Lancaster County Detention Center said.
However, the release does not state whom Raffaldt and Myers allegedly kidnapped. More charges are pending against Raffaldt, the detention center official said.
Details about the shootings remained sketchy throughout Saturday.
Around 8 p.m. Friday, police were called to Old Linwood Circle regarding a car accident, the release states.
That call was followed by several others regarding two shootings, which authorities linked to the car accident, according to the report.
Lancaster officials plan to release more information about the shootings on Monday, the release states.
Myers and Raffaldt remained in custody Saturday night at Lancaster County Detention Center.

"Isabelle Maynard paints with a choreographic gesture. She is playing between colored grey nebulae surfaces and nervous lines of force".
H.Richard journalist France
"Flamboyant color, sometimes brutal, and deep… From the loneliness of the studio, her gesture reveals her meditation. Vision? Buried secrets in the shades of the pallet? Illumination?.... Everything actually gives a vibrant density to the artwork"
Gilles Rieu painter
"Dividing her time between Toulouse, France and Napa, California, French born Maynard enjoys spending time outside in nature when not in her studio. Her paintings reflect this affinity displaying rich earthy hues often topped with airy whites. The paintings are generated by a process where the artist initially covers the canvas with a thin layer of plaster, providing clarity and ground for her graphite drawings made of loose automatic lines sometimes drawn with her eyes closed. Washes of oils are applied in a limited palette. The works, some airy and dreamy and others dark and explosive, give her singular voice a wide range…expressive, subtle, delicate and at times brutal and primal.
Isabelle Maynard paints with a choreographic gesture. She is playing between colored grey nebulae surfaces and nervous lines of force," said French journalist, H.Richard. Influenced by Pierre Soulages, postmodern choreography and zen philosophy, Maynard creates paintings which embody mystery, avoid premeditated structure (and titles,) and rest deeply in a territory of the present moment and soulful meditation."
Gwen Terpstra 60SIX Gallery San Francisco
My work is kind of a visual picture of the body and soul. My art is "the instrument" and my paintings are the pictures. Like an open book, you can flip it open and discover what's inside. The most important in the process is to remain intact with oneself in order to give a moment of sincerity without any artifices. The plaster remains the blank page and the graphite the picture . When the work is done, it's given to see.
Everyone, including me, can feel it with their own eyes and understanding. The moment is captured, materialized and remains unaltered.
The only thing that can change is our own different perceptions and feelings everyday.

Ableton Controllers and Hardware
Ableton Live blurred the lines between DAW and instrument right out of the gate with its first release in 2001. Augmenting a fully functional multitrack recorder and mixer with a sampler, sequencer and virtual instruments, Live also did away with the notion that songwriting, digital productions and live electronic performance have to happen linearly. The revolutionary Session View mode and Clip Launcher let you tweak and drop elements in and out on the fly, creating a more open-world approach to music making that's equally powerful in the studio and on the stage. This sort of spontaneous environment begs for hands-on control, and that's how the market for specialized and even dedicated Ableton Live controllers was spawned. This handpicked collection of the best Ableton controllers and hardware by Akai, Novation, Livid Instruments, M-Audio and other leading manufacturers aims to give you tactile command over Live's sequencer, clip launcher, scenes, mixer, and everything else this comprehensive software has to offer.

Greenhouses have been used in the past as a medium for hobbyists for their garden greenhouses but commercial greenhouses are becoming more and more prevalent as the world becomes more "green conscious" and energy efficient.
Universities and Agricultural departments have built greenhouses for educational purposes but elementary and pre-schools were also building greenhouses to teach children about life, the earth, nature, as well as good eating habits and organic growing.
Hydroponics has been used more and more recently in greenhouse structures to transport the nutrients directly to the plant roots thus saving the earth's soil that is growing increasingly scarce.
Acreage can no longer go out so we must consider going up. With a large greenhouse structure, growing up, or "eco-building" is the idea of planting in large glass towers and keeping the glass greenhouse structures growing year round and in places that would normally be unavailable. This would create crop for countries in places where land is not available, either because of climate or because of space. It would also allow growing year round and quite possibly put a stop to much of the hunger crisis. Supplying healthy food through greenhouse structures or supplying crops that would help our oil crisis would be a complete sustainable process.
The other day I was reading an article regarding the desire to create better food products by farming with organic fertilizers. This can be accomplished by attracting insects with particular plants that kill other insects that bring disease to the crop or plants. This quickly brought to mind how the generations throughout my life have always had a wave of "naturalists" that always wanted to get back to nature. Like myself, I have wonderful intentions. Now, it is time to do something about it.
We are all learning so much about the earth, the economy and about green sustainable living. Greenhouse plantations would conquer a lot of these issues very quickly. Building greenhouses could be the answer.
