While RDS cannot work on every project, to the extent possible we aim to provide consultation services to help individual principal investigators build multidisciplinary teams and facilitate proposal preparation. Our priority is to support preparation of large, complex interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research projects, but any strategically important project is welcome. On a time-available basis, RDS can assist with initial strategy development, proposal management plans, technical writing, editing, and proofreading.
Research Development Services works closely with the Office of Sponsored Programs, and department/unit business offices to support UIC faculty and scholars.
Proposal development
For those new to applying for NIH funding, the NIH Grants Process Overview provides a comprehensive overview on the lifecycle of the NIH grant process from identifying funding opportunities through project closeout requirements. Relevant information and instructions for applying to NIH programs can be found in the NIH Application Guide. NSF also provides a comprehensive overview of their funding structure at this link and detailed information on how to apply to NSF programs can be found in the NSF Grant Proposal Guide.
NIH reviews operate on a standard annual cycle. Unless otherwise noted in an funding announcement, standard dates for application submission and review apply. Please note there are two sets of standard dates; AIDS related projects have their own sets of dates. Several NSF programs have moved to an open-deadline format, although some mechanisms supported by those programs continue to be announced with firm deadlines. We encourage you to contact your program officer for specific guidance.
Funding mechanisms
Federal sponsors categorize grants into a standard set of award types that have characteristic requirements, scope, and purpose.
NIH funding mechanisms including Research Grants (R series), Career Development Awards (K series), Research Training and Fellowships (T & F series), Program Project/Center Grants (P series), Resource Grants (various series), and Trans-NIH Programs. Detailed descriptions can be found here.
Similarly, NSF offers a series of funding mechanisms. Examples include ABR, CAREER Awards, Collaborative Grants, Cooperative Agreements, EAGER, LREB, OPUS, RAPID, RAISE, Research Coordination Networks, ROA, and SBIR/STTR. Please see the acronym list in the NSF PAPPG (section C) for more information about these program titles.
Minority Serving Institution Information
Department of Education Designation Letter
UIC consistently ranks among the top ten most diverse national research universities according to U.S. News & World Report (see "Campus Ethnic Diversity at National Universities") and is a national leader among urban, public higher education institutions in providing access to underrepresented students. UIC has become the major center for Latino education in the Midwest, granting more baccalaureate degrees to and enrolling more Latina/o graduate and professional students than any of the schools in the Big Ten Academic Alliance. Our diversity makes UIC investigators eligible for a number of funding opportunities requiring minimum enrollment by underrepresented groups. However, eligibility requirements differ among sponsors and programs. We encourage you to contact our office for guidance before you prepare a proposal for any project with requirements related to minority participation, and we always recommend you contact your program officer to confirm eligibility for any opportunity that has unique requirements.
"Minority Institution" and "Minority Serving Institution" are commonly used to describe universities that have significant participation by underrepresented groups. However, they are two very different legal terms. UIC is a "Minority Serving Institution" but our enrollment does not meet the criteria for a "Minority Institution." Under 20 U.S. Code § 1067k, a Minority Institution is an institution of higher education (IHE) whose enrollment of a single minority or a combination of minorities exceeds 50 percent of the total enrollment. This information shall be verified from the data on enrollments in the higher education general information survey (HEGIS) furnished by the institution to the Office for Civil Rights, Department of Education. Most other federal agencies rely of the Department of Education definitions. The term "minority" means American Indian, Alaskan Native, Black (not of Hispanic origin), Hispanic (including persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Central or South American origin), Pacific Islander or other ethnic group underrepresented in science and engineering.
The Department of Education has confirmed UIC's eligibility for grants that fall under Title III and Title V programs of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008. Title III "helps eligible IHEs to become self-sufficient and expand their capacity to serve low-income students by providing funds to improve and strengthen the academic quality, institutional management, and fiscal stability of eligible institutions." Title V, the Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (DHSI) Program, "provides grants to assist HSIs to expand educational opportunities for, and improve the attainment of, Hispanic students." UIC is also eligible for a waiver of the non-Federal share matching requirements under the Federal Work Study Program (FWS), the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program (FSEOG), and the TRIO Student Support Services Program under Title IV of the HEA, as well as the Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language Program authorized by Title VI of the HEA. The Department of Education letter documenting UIC's eligibility for Title III and Title V for FY19 can be found here and the FY20 letter is here.
The demographics of UIC's full time undergraduate enrollment qualify the University for several Department of Education programs aimed at supporting postsecondary diversity. The Office of Diversity and the Office of Institutional Research curate additional data that might be helpful for preparing proposals for opportunities that have a diversity requirement. Basic summary data are available on their websites.
Broader impacts and community engagement
A project's potential Broader Impacts (BI) are a key review criterion for proposals to the National Science Foundation. The NSF Grant Proposal Guide uses a series of questions to illustrate the Broader Impacts criterion: "How well does the activity advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training, and learning? How well does the proposed activity broaden the participation of underrepresented groups (e.g., gender, ethnicity, disability, geographic, etc.)? To what extent will it enhance the infrastructure for research and education, such as facilities, instrumentation, networks, and partnerships? Will the results be disseminated broadly to enhance scientific and technological understanding? What are the potential benefits of the proposed activity to society?"
NSF provides examples of Broader Impacts activities:
Advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training, and learning, for example, by training graduate students, mentoring postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty, involving undergraduates in research experiences, and participating in the recruitment, training, and professional development of K-12 mathematics and science teachers.
Broaden participation of under-represented groups, for example,by establishing collaborations with students and faculty from institutions and organizations serving women, minorities, and other groups underrepresented in the mathematical sciences.
Enhance infrastructure for research and education, for example, by establishing collaborations with researchers in industry and government laboratories, developing partnerships with international academic institutions and organizations, and building networks of U.S. colleges and universities.
Broaden dissemination to enhance scientific and technological understanding, for example, by presenting results of research and education projects in formats useful to students, scientists and engineers, members of Congress, teachers, and the general public.
Benefits to society may occur, for example, when results of research and education projects are applied to other fields of science and technology to create startup companies, to improve commercial technology, to inform public policy, and to enhance national security.
The National Alliance for Broader Impacts (NABI) has a range of high-quality resources for developing your BI. NABI was founded in 2014 with co-funding from by the Divisions of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences and Emerging Frontiers in the Directorate for Biological Sciences and by the Division of Chemistry in the Directorate for Mathematics and Physical Sciences at the National Science Foundation (MCB-1408736). It is a international network of individuals and organizations working together to build institutional capacity, advance BI, and demonstrate the societal benefits of research by:
- Identifying and curating promising models, practices, and evaluation methods for the BI community;
- Expanding engagement in and supporting the development of high-quality BI activities by educating current and future faculty and researchers on effective BI practices;
- Developing the human resources necessary for sustained growth and increased diversity of the BI community; and
- Promoting cross-institutional collaboration on and dissemination of BI programs, practices, models, materials, and resources.
UIC has a rich tradition of community-engaged research, with a considerable array of programs already in place that align with NSF's vision for Broader Impacts. Many of these are listed on UIC's Community Engagement Portal. In addition, the Office of Community Engagement and Neighborhood Health Partnerships (OCEAN-HP) can help you identify community organizations with which to partner on health-related projects.
Beyond UIC, Chicago has a range of potential partners for broader impacts activities:
- After School Matters
- Argonne National Laboratory Education Programs
- Brookfield Zoo
- Chicago Architecture Foundation
- Chicago Botanic Garden
- Chicago Children's Museum
- Chicago Council on Science and Technology (C2ST)

- Newberry Library
- Peggy Notebart Nature Museum
- Shedd Aquarium
Please contact RDS if you are aware of a program that should be included here.
Program Evaluation
Many projects benefit from program evaluation, and some solicitations require a formal program evaluation component. The PRAIRIE Group, housed in UIC's College of Education, has expert evaluators available to collaborate on new projects based on availability and interest. Their experience includes logic modeling, program design, evaluation planning, educational program reviews, program documentation, and evaluation systems development.
Developing a project budget is a pivotal step in the proposal preparation process and can help the investigators think through the resources required at each project milestone. A budget must be a realistic reflection of project needs over time, including support for personnel working on the project commensurate with level of effort expended (salary and wages and fringe benefits), support for travel, materials and supplies, equipment, services required (i.e. computing time, etc), participant support (including stipends, tuition, etc.for trainees), any subawards and all other costs related to the project. All proposed projects requiring use of UIC resources must be reviewed and approved by the University prior to sponsor submission. Please verify the appropriate indirect cost rate to use in the proposal budget.
It is important to align the budget period amounts to activities presented in the proposal to give a realistic view of expenses over the course of the project. Preparing a carefully considered, detailed, yet succinct budget justification that clearly ties costs to activities is critical. We stress the importance of contacting your business manager as early as possible in the proposal development process to ensure that person has time to work with you to prepare an accurate, error-free budget. PIs should recognize any changes to the budget cascade through the rest of the proposal development and submission process, so late-stage changes to the budget will precipitate changes to many other pieces of your grant application.
The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) provides templates, policies and guidance to help you develop your budget. In addition, see both the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide or the NIH Application Guide for specific agency guidelines.
Many sponsors have specific formatting requirements for investigator biosketches. It is important to carefully read each RFA/RFP to determine which project personnel need to submit a biosketch and what format to use. Additional guidelines and information on categories of project personnel required to submit an NSF formatted biosketch, as well as categories of personnel who may provide information highlighting exceptional qualifications which merit consideration in the evaluation of the proposal can be found here.
NIH biosketch templates, as well as instructions for biosketch preparation are available here.
Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv) is a new electronic system to help researchers assemble the professional information needed for participation in federally funded research. Developed through a cooperative partnership by the Federal Demonstration Project (FDP) at NIH, this system
- Eliminates the need to repeatedly enter biosketch information
- Reduces the administrative burden associated with federal grant submission and reporting requirements
- Provides access to a researcher-claimed data repository with information on expertise, employment, education, and professional accomplishments
- Allow researchers to describe their scientific contributions in their own language
Create a biosketch formatted for a specific agency through SciENcv here.
Biosketch formats for several other notable sponsors:
- Department of Energy (DOE)
- NASA (see page 12)
- Department of Defense (DoD) (see page 14)
- Institute of Education Sciences (IES – includes NCER, NCES, NCEE and NCSER)
Please contact RDS at firstname.lastname@example.com with any question on other agency requirements.
Data Management Plan
Most federal agencies require a data management plan (NSF, DOE, DOD) or data sharing plan (NIH) with any proposal.
Examples of what to include in an NIH data sharing plan can be found here. Information on NSF policies on dissemination and sharing of research results can be found here.
The UIC Library has many excellent resources to support data management on campus, including considerations for developing your data management plan. UIC also subscribes to DMPtool, a service that helps researchers create data management plans that meet institutional and funder requirements.
Mentoring plan
All NSF grant proposals requesting funding to support postdoctoral researchers are required to include a postdoctoral researcher mentoring plan in the supplementary documents section of the proposal in Fastlane. In no more than one page, the plan must describe the mentoring to be provided to all postdoctoral researchers supported by the project, irrespective of organizational affiliation. Plans must be provided if postdocs reside at the submitting organization, any subawardeed organization or any collaborating organization. Examples of mentoring activities include, but are not limited to: career counseling; training in preparation of grant proposals, publications and presentations; guidance on ways to improve teaching and mentoring skills; guidance on how to effectively collaborate with researchers from diverse backgrounds and disciplinary areas; and training in responsible professional practices. NSF guidelines for mentoring plans can be found in the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG). Mentoring activities are evaluated based on the Broader Impacts review criterion.
NIH proposals for K series awards require mentoring plants – see guidelines here.
UIC has resources for postdocs that can be included in the Postdoc Mentoring Plan. The OVCR houses the UIC Postdoc Association; contact that office for information on support available to UIC postdocs.
Failure to include a mentoring plan in a proposal requesting support for postdoctoral researchers will be returned without review.
Many grant applications require a description of the facilities available to conduct the work, often as a separate document in the proposal package.
A description of your facilities for an NIH or NSF grant proposal should include the following elements:
- Descriptions of laboratories and offices available, including square footage and features such as fume hoods, microscopes, and general lab equipment
- Specialized equipment available in the lab or department
- Computer resources
- Shared facilities available, including how they are managed and any access fees.
Information on shared facilities can be found at the Research Resource Center (RRC) webpages. The RRC, part of the OVCR, compromises 17 cores specializing in various techniques with experienced staff who are able to assist or fully execute your research projects. Detailed descriptions of the the instruments and expertise offered by RRC cores and resources are available here.

During this year's ACM Awards in Las Vegas, Keith Urban delivered a passionate performance of a song called "Burden." The song is not included on his most recent album, 2018's Graffiti U, so where did it come from?
In a new behind-the-scenes video about the story behind "Burden," Urban explains that the song came out of a conversation with Ed Sheeran, during which they talked about Irish musician and singer/songwriter Foy Vance (who is signed to Sheeran's Gingerbread Man Records and has toured with him). Keith had originally seen Vance perform "Burden" while watching a video of him on YouTube.
Urban explained, "We played at the 02 in London and Ed came out to see us play. We talked about Foy, who's an incredible musician and songwriter. The next day, I had a day off in London, so I got on my bike and put my headphones on and rode around London for like two hours listening to Foy non-stop." The country star continued, "And when I got back to Nashville, I realized that I had never seen him play live, he must be fantastic. So, I jumped on YouTube and heard this song 'Burden,' and just fell in love with him. I thought, I'd love to be able to do a version of the song, the way that I was feeling it in my heart."
After the powerful performance of "Burden" during the ACMs, Foy shared his thoughts on the cover, and wrote in a tweet, "Well this is a lovely surprise. Thank you @KeithUrban for the moving performance and cover of 'Burden' from The Wild Swan... xx. "
Urban was nominated for a few ACM Awards this year, and ultimately took home the coveted Entertainer of the Year trophy. In his speech, he thanked his wife, Nicole Kidman, his team, his fans and his daughters Sunday Rose (10) and Faith Margaret (8). He said, "Thank you so much, baby girl, I love you so much," he said to Kidman before adding, "My team, thank you every one of you. To the fans out there, you are amazing. You have no idea what you mean to me, no idea."

Lang/Lit/Music - Creative Writing 2
This group formed in March 2017. We share our writing in advance of meeting so, when we get together, we analyse, digest and constructively critique as a group in order for everyone to, hopefully, improve as writers and story tellers. Topics will be agreed, if required, but the general aim is to assist the writing interests of all members from short stories to longer tales, novels and personal memoirs. At the same time we are compiling our own Group thesaurus to boost word power. When the group considers necessary we will also work on skills such as scene setting, characterisation, realistic conversation, story lines, publishing and marketing.
We meet on the 4th Wednesday of the month at Prettygate.
If you would like to know more about this group or to register your interest in joining, please use the Bluebird contact button at the side of the page to send an email to the Group Leader.

[R-18 content] *No rape* *SLOW BURN* "Your bed is cold," spoke a voice in the room that had her eyes go wide in fear. Nervously, she turned around, gulping softly to see a shadow on her bed as if someone laid down there. The man who had been lying down sat up emerging out from the shadows where he had been waiting for her. "What are you doing here?" she asked when his feet touched the ground and he pushed himself up to start walking towards her. His handsome features looked darker than usual because of the lack of light in the room. "I came to meet you," he tilted his head, "Where did you go?" "I went out for a walk," came the quick reply that had him smile, a smile that scared her the most. She took a step back when he came close to her. It didn't stop him from cornering her, and her back hit the wall behind her. He raised his hand towards her face, and she closed her eyes, scared. She shuddered when his fingers trail down from her temple and her jaw and neck. Her blonde hair was left open. "In the middle of the night?" she didn't answer him knowing he could decipher her lies through her words. He stepped closer that had her turn her face away from him and his words vibrated on the skin of her neck, "Did you go to meet him, my sweet girl?" -- Despite her protests, Madeline Harris is dragged to the Hawthorne's annual masquerade ball along with her older sister in order to find rich husbands.

In New York, leaders of all the world's nations are assembling to agree on a plan to save the dying planet: Earth. Before they can agree on anything, disaster strikes. An electromagnetic storm destroys the global power grid, and cuts communications. Billions of people die. But as soon as the storm dies down, millions of mysterious, glowing cubes appear all over the globe. The cubes contain tools that will let humans colonize a new planet: a bigger, richer version of Earth. The newly formed Colonial Council, which answers to the United Nations, has one goal: to ease the crisis on Earth by transfers of goods and resources from the New World. Millions of new colonizers rush to the New World, united by a common purpose: to turn their dreams into reality. Some dream of getting rich by trading New World goods. Some dream of conquest, and building an empire. Some dream of peace, adoration, and love. Some will succeed, and others will fail. But fortune always favors the brave.

For a while now, so-called "literary" and "genre" fiction have been moving from outright opposition to a cautious rapprochement. Literary writers such as Jonathan Lethem, Donna Tartt and Michael Chabon increasingly deploy tropes and images from genre, while genre writers have upped their stakes considerably in terms of complexity, moral resonance and style. Sophie Hannah, Josh Bazell and Denise Mina have reinvented crime fiction; Charles Yu, Iain M Banks and M John Harrison have given a literary uplift to science fiction; while China Miéville, Jeff VanderMeer and Kelly Link have done the same for fantasy. But horror – the third aspect of "speculative fiction" – has had markedly less success. Yet it might be the genre most tractable to our contemporary concerns.
Horror has its classics – Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker, for example, though both are better known from celluloid than paper. (Victor Frankenstein, in the novel, doesn't use lightning to animate the creature; Dracula is perfectly able to walk abroad at noon on the page.) Horror has its early 20th-century pioneers – MR James and HP Lovecraft, both, in their own way, traumatised by modernity itself. Look at James's "Casting the Runes", in which an advertisement in an "electric tram" brings the first shudder, or how a doll's house, a mezzotint or hotel bedsheets can become eldritch. This is even clearer in Lovecraft: in "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward", he writes: "He tried to drive them out, and repeated the Lord's Prayer to himself, eventually trailing off into a mnemonic hodge-podge like the modernistic Waste Land of Mr TS Eliot." Futurism, cubism, Einstein, Pluto, non-Euclidean geometry … all are entry points for the unspeakable. On top of this, Lovecraft possesses less-than-palatable racial beliefs, which are unfortunately not an isolated phenomenon. A great many horror novels are reactionary, prurient and misogynistic. A gradual detoxification has taken place, but the genre still languishes.
I am fond of Stephen King's novels, but he regularly fails to nail the dismount: Under he Dome was claustrophobic and compelling, but the final reveal was bathetic and frustratingly arbitrary: it didn't seem to matter whether a demon or an alien was responsible. Granta recently devoted an issue to horror, with work by Will Self, Roberto Bolaño and Don DeLillo, but its relationship with supernatural horror was at times (especially in the extract from Paul Auster's memoir) oblique. There have been a few worthy attempts at modern horror: I'd recommend Robert Jackson Bennett's Mr Shivers and Will Elliott's The Pilo Family Circus. Good as they are, though, clowns and hobos are almost nostalgically fearful. Perhaps the most successful attempt was Mark Z Danielewski's House of Leaves, a book which self-consciously integrated the "hauntology" of French theory into an avant-garde puzzle box. The person who comes closest to a "new horror", to my mind, is Brian Evenson: Altmann's Tongue is far more frightening than anything Bret Easton Ellis could create.

Writing Challenge Begins!
There are a few simple rules.
1: Each participant has 250-300 words for their segment.
2: Each segment is to be told from the viewpoint of a different character.
3: No one may alter what has already been written.
4: Individuals often notice different details, focus on different things, or interpret the same thing in different ways, so the stories may vary widely. However, the viewpoint character must be someone who is already mentioned, or who could reasonably have been overlooked, by the narrators who have gone before. Note they do not have to be mentioned as an individual. (If a "group of boys" appears in the story, your viewpoint character can be one of those boys, for example. The point is to leave the possibilities as open as possible, without contradicting what has already been written.) Also, unless a plausible explanation is included or implied for their having done so, the previous narrators may have overlooked details or focused on different parts of the action, but no narrator is assumed to have been actually lying.
I hope you all have fun with this! I will post the completed story as soon as I get the final portion back.

New bar The Office will add to CBD's revitalisation
A NEW contemporary bar is coming to Toowoomba.
Aimed at attracting the lucrative inner city after-work crowd, it is an initiative of two young Toowoomba businessmen Kenneth Wagner and Michael Hay.
It will be called The Office and Mr Wagner said the idea for the name came while the two entrepreneurs were drinking at a bar.
"One day I received a call asking where I was and my response was I was at the office," he said.
"That's when we decided on the name."
Mr Wagner said the inspiration for the bar was based on providing a similar environment to many of the different bars that had been successfully established in and around the Brisbane CBD.
The bar will be located on Duggan St, opposite the QIC Gardentown redevelopment.
It will be at the rear of the Saba building which was recently refurbished by Aspect Architects.
The two-storey establishment will include the activation of an alleyway, with a roof/terrace style of bar overlooking both the alleyway and Duggan St.
Mr Wagner said the intent behind the timing of the project was to build on the excitement surrounding the rejuvenation of the CBD.
"Projects like the QIC redevelopment and the pending opening of the Quest Apartments will be enhanced by providing people access to a bar that offers a casual and contemporary culture with a fresh and modern food offering," he said.
Mr Wagner said it would be different to what Toowoomba bars currently offered.
He said customer service would be an integral part of their business model.
"The way we will treat and interact with customers will be a real card."
Construction has already begun on the project and the owners hope to have The Office open by November.
A development application for the project has been approved by Toowoomba Regional Council.
Aspect Architects designed and have been engaged to manage construction of the project.

Using forms from the leasing of your property lets you collect tenant information while clearly conveying your policies, expectations and the tenant 's responsibilities. Produce your types using free online stock landlord forms and resources and edit the terminology where necessary to ensure compliance with the landlord and tenant legislation in your municipality.
Rental Program
Your rental program should collect the full names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers of all occupants. Contain a statement that the adult applicants should sign and date giving permission for you to conduct criminal, credit, employment, landlord or private reference checks during the screening procedure. If you use a service to obtain a credit or criminal report, you may control the applicant, just note the amount on the application type and consistently charge the same amount for all applicants. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), created a federal law in 1968 known as the Fair Housing Act that makes it illegal to deny or hide accessibility to a rental property to a potential tenant according to his color, familial status (pregnant women and families with kids under 18), disability, national origin, race, religion or sex.
Residential Lease Agreement
According to the legal advice site Nolo, you are able to draft a handwritten document and lengthy legalese isn't necessary. Just make certain you include the names and signatures of all adult tenants, a limit on the amount of occupants, duration and dates of the rental term, amount of fees and security deposit, the manner and timeline where you'll return a security deposit, responsibilities of the tenant in terms of maintenance and repairs to the rental property and yard, and limitations on alterations to the property. Summarize how much advance notice before entering the leasing property for review or a fix you will give. Talk about penalties, limitations and your pet coverage. Explicitly banning illegal tenant activity may protect you from potential lawsuits or neighbor complaints, Nolo advises. Other optional items to address in the rental include parking, home-based business restrictions and policies concerning trash disposal and entry keys.
Home Inspection Form
Your rental record will include an amount paid for a security deposit. Complete a property review form with the renter at move-in and keep it in his file to refer to at move-out. Go through the property room-by-room at move-in; notice any damaged or dated finishes. Conduct a move-out walk-through inspection with the form to determine any items left in a state beyond everything 's considered normal wear-and-tear. In case a landlord needs to retain a percentage or all of these currencies, a mutually agreed upon statement of property state protects the rights of both parties and offers clear proof at a home court path. Utilizing images offers the record for illustrating your notes with a fantastic accompaniment.

Show the world who you really are
Imagine seeing yourself for the first time, knowing nothing about the person you are inside.
Based on your visual appearance, what assumptions would you make?
Would you guess your age, your occupation?
Would you suspect the existence of your best attributes - maybe your whimsical sense of fun, your empathy, your reliability, or your knack of emergency first-aiding anything in the time it takes most people to get through stage 1 of a minor meltdown?
If your answer is no, I have to ask: Why not?!
And then: Would you like to change that?
Why appearance matters (whether you like it or not)
Humans are highly visual creatures. We trust what we see and directly experience much more than we trust what we're told.
More than 90% of the first impression you make on others is based on your physical presence - what you wear, your body language, and your tone of voice.
If people are distracted by the way you look, chances are they won't hear a word you say.
Sure, it sucks. But you know it's the truth.

Do you wish to know more knowledge on the subject? The following article shares some helpful information that will allow you to more thoroughly enjoy your next glass of wine.
Cheap wine isn't always as bad as one may think. Try looking at Chile for great wine that doesn't cost a ton. A lot of their wine have good price. Argentina, New Zealand, and New Zealand are all places that have great wines.
Serve your wine at the proper temperature in order to coax the best flavor from each glass. Red wines taste best when served at approximately 60 degrees. You should start with the wine being at 58F degrees and wait until it warms up. White wines should be kept at a temperature of 47 degrees. White wines that is too warm often lose their crisp flavor.
Use the proper glass for red and white wines.White wines need to be placed in narrower glasses because it prevents air from hitting the wine's surface. Red wine glasses are meant for the wider body and a large mouth. This will allow air to get into this kind of glass and warm it up, awakening rich flavors that would otherwise remain dormant.
Not all white whine needs to be chilled before serving. White wines have different textures, and therefore may benefit from a variety of temperatures. While serving saugvignon blanc cold is best, wines like chardonnay and pinot gris taste better at warmer temperatures.
Take a trip to where wine is produced. You will be able to understand how best to describe wine's characteristics to other people. Plus, wine regions are very beautiful, so this is a great way to have fun!
Try to keep a lot of wine in your arsenal. This is important because you won't be prepared for various situations with only one type of wine available.
The types of grape used determines whether the wine is white or white. Red and purple grapes that have a fuller body. White wine is made of green grapes which tend to be lighter and crisper. There are more differences, but red and white is the main difference.
White wines are generally best when drunk within two years of purchase. The exception to this is Chardonnay. The explanation behind this is for the reason that white wine. This is usually not the reverse way for red wine.
Many varieties of wine will go nicely with dessert. Dessert wines generally taste sweeter than wines that come with dinner. Port wines are a great for drinking along with your desserts and chocolates. They are best served at around 55 degrees to maximize their flavor.
Try purchasing different things when you enjoy. Don't get the same ones every time because you may get tired of it. Try a new wine from various regions or a different type than you are used to. You may even find that you save some money as a couple bucks along the way.
The Internet can be a wonderful resource to teach yourself anything you to find loads of information on wine. Feel free to take along print-outs of this information from such sites to use as you go wine-tasting for the best ones.
White and red wines should not be served at two totally different temperatures. Reds tend to taste better at a temperature that is 10-15 degrees warmer than whites. One of the better methods is to put wine in the refrigerator first and then let it sit out at room temperature for a few minutes. Whites should be at approximately 45 degrees; reds at sixty.
Varietal refers to a single kind of grape. These can include Pinot Noir and Syrah. The other part is made of the wine.
Open your bottle of red wine and leave it be for a few hours before serving it to your guests. Oxygen will have a chance to mix with your opened wine bottle.
Japanese Foods
Sake is one type of wine that warrants further investigation. Sake is a wine that is made from rice and usually served with Japanese foods. It can be served with a variety of foods. A robust sake is great paired with your favorite Japanese foods.
Wineries want to bring in customers through special events where they discount their prices or discounted events.
You do not want to listen to the wine critics. Take in what they say, but make sure to make your own decisions.
You really do need to slurp it! Swish it around gently in your mouth to taste all the wine's undertones. When you inhale, you can pick up on more flavors by using smell as well as taste.
This allows you to swirl and sniff wine easier. Choose a thin and make sure the glass is clear. A gently-curved top with a long stem makes for the ideal glass.
Wine Tastes
White wine tastes its best enjoyed when it has been chilled. Room temperature can ruin the taste of white wine tastes awful. You should place it in the fridge for a couple of hours before you drink it. You can speed up this process by chilling the wine in a bucket of ice water instead.
Examine the wine before you are considering. Make sure they're at the fill level isn't lower than the other bottles. It must be up to the bottle's neck. Make sure there aren't any spots where it can leak.
It's important to understand the intricacies of wine to appreciate it. You will have the confidence you need to leave an impression on guests. Retain this information for the next wine store trip to choose a wine you can enjoy yourself or with others.

Walter Chon(Theatre Arts)'s translation of a German radio play is presented in New York
Contributed by Walter Chon on 05/17/19
On 5/18, the theatre company Play for Voices presents a live listening session of their latest production, Friedrich Dürrenmatt's radio play "The Doppelgänger," translated from German into English by Walter Byongsok Chon, Assistant Professor of Dramaturgy and Theatre Studies. The presentation will be at Be Electric Studios in Brooklyn at 7pm.
The production by Play for Voices is directed and composed by Theadora Tolkin, with sound design by IC alum Asa Wember.
Excerpt from Chon's paper "The Radio Play and What Lies Beyond: Friedrich Dürrenmatt's The Doppelganger," which Chon presented at ALTA (The American Literary Translators Association) Conference in 2018.
"Friedrich Dürrenmatt's radio play The Doppelganger begins with the conversation between the radio show host and the playwright. The host starts with:
So, Mr. Playwright. You got a story for me? Like you promised? If I may say so, I can do voices; man, woman, old, young, my age, your age. And, as you just heard, they are the voice of each character.[1]
To which the playwright answers:
So I have got a story for you, Mr. Host. But this story is so heart-stoppingly dark and strange. And I must confess that I don't know any more about it than you do. Except for the motive. But no matter, really: a plot always finds itself in due time.
In this first exchange between the host and the playwright, the play establishes that it will be about the act of storytelling as well as the story itself. The dialogue between the host and the playwright continues, and the story unfolds. The story begins at night. There is a man. He is asleep. At a noise, he wakes up and finds his Doppelganger, an identical version of him, sitting in front of him. The Doppelganger tells him that the Man has been sentenced to death for a murder. The murder was committed by the Doppelganger. The Man claims his innocence but is arrested all the same. Now he has to fight for his innocence.…"

This translation started in the class Translation and Adaptation, taught by James Magruder, at Yale School of Drama in Spring 2009. Further revisions have been made since.

Trust your intuition and be guided by love.
Charles Eisenstein
This week, as the dust settles from the American elections, and we encounter some significant astrological shifts, let us welcome a somewhat infrequent visitor, the Queen of Cups.
The Queen of Cups has been compared to the mystical, beautiful High Priestess, and it is not a far stretch to consider her the real-life equivalent. As a Court card, of course, she is usually an actual person in your life, or some aspect of you, yourself.
She need not be female, but does embody traits that have stereotypically been attributed to the feminine psyche, for she (or he) is gentle, sensitive, intuitive, and dreamy.
However, although she is kind and empathetic, she is no wimp. She conducts herself with mature wisdom, and as a Queen, she is a peaceful but powerful leader, creator, or innovator.
She sits upon a throne carved with mermaids, the magical beings of the seas. Her throne, firmly on land, indicates that she is connected to the work and protection of her lands in practical ways. The echoing shape of the cliff behind her also hints at her solidity and groundedness.
But the waters flowing over her right foot at the water's edge, and blending with her gown, make clear her unity with the seas of the unconscious, dreams, imagination, second sight, and emotion. And of course, the sea is the Mother's womb of all life on our Planet.
The Queen's gaze is very intent, as if she is studying the markings on the cup. Arthur Waite tells us that it is of her own creation. Certainly it is the manifestation of great imagination, for it is by far the most ornate and unique cup in the Waite-Smith Tarot.
The Shekhinah
The Queen's cup is closed, presided over by two angels on each handle, which some scholars compare to the seraphim on the Ark of the Covenant. In Judeo-Christian traditions, the Ark is believed to have held the Shekhinah, the Feminine aspect of God.
According to the Talmud, the Shekhinah is what gave God's chosen ones the power of prophecy and how King David was blessed with the ability to create his beautiful Psalms. The Shekhinah manifests as a form of joy, connected with prophecy and creativity. Is such a gift contained in the Queen's cup?
It also reminds me of the ornate baptismal fonts in Anglican and Catholic churches, or the ciborium, which is the box (often silver or gold) that communion wafers are kept in.
Thus we have a message this week about forgiveness, devotion, renewal, and divine Grace. This is a matter that goes straight to the heart – one that you are not likely to understand intellectually. Happily, you don't have to; you have only to receive it.
Venus Direct and Mercury Retrograde
Meantime, on Friday, two important planets will seem — from our perspective on Earth and NOT in actual fact! – to change directions in their orbits.
Venus, planet of love, luxury, wealth, and beauty has been retrograde since Oct. 5. Now that it is turning direct on Nov. 16, Annie Heese writes:
With the direct turn of Venus, we begin to see some forward movement in projects or relationships that seem to have stalled. This doesn't happen all at once; it's more of a slow roll.
On Friday and Saturday, just as Venus stations direct, it forms a contra-parallel with Uranus and can have us questioning our commitments if they seem stifling.
The Queen of Cups, herself an enchantress of love, can be a significant help in steering your affections away from scarcity and towards your most authentic happiness.
In addition, you may be well aware that the planet Mercury turns retrograde on Friday. Prepare for detours and delays; double-check travel plans, and beware of misunderstandings.
Back up your important data files now, since Mercury also rules business and technology. Most of you reading are probably already well aware of how its retrograde is infamous for lost or broken hardware and software, computer wipeouts, and other disastrous events.
But the benefit of a Mercury retrograde is that we are offered a breather — a time-out from busy-ness in which to spend contemplative time. Now, in the deepening darkness of the year, and the fallow period between Samhain and Yule, we have the additional blessing of the Queen of Cups to pause.
Like her, we can slow down and gaze deeply into the mysterious offerings of life. She would urge us to take a moment to recall where we've been, and dream with our souls' wisdom what may be next. She embodies the gifts of the sea – teaching us to flow in our own natural ways, without being compelled to decide or act until we feel the time is right.
This week's unusual switch for two important planets in the same day could easily have us rattled, especially if we are tightly wound or tensely preoccupied (and nowadays, it is so challenging not to be!).
But the Queen of Cups is the soothing, motherly understanding that murmurs gentle songs of relaxation, and hums sweet lullabies to calm us, even as the turning tides keep life in a state of flux.
Caring for Your Tender Heart
Like all Tarot cards, there is both light and shadow within this image. The Queen of Cups' challenging aspect is that she can unconsciously soak up and act out the emotions and moods of those around her.
This is certainly happening to many of us, on many levels. In this changing of the age, we are transitioning from what Charles Eisenstein calls the "Story of Separation" to the "Story of Interbeing." The Queen of Cups is a most skilled guide for recognizing the fluidity of Oneness that we actually are.
But this fundamental transition of consciousness is deeply challenging, and so she may also prompt you to set protective boundaries between your own sensitive nature and the intensely flowing feelings of those in your proximity.
The Queen can also be emotionally needy, yet fickle in her dealings, first going one way, then the other, taking the path of least resistance. Keep your perspective, and be patient, especially if this is someone else in your life.
Where would it be wise for you to cultivate stillness and more depth?
Have you learned good energetic hygiene techniques to clear and cleanse away the emotional and psychic gunk that can tend to accumulate?
To what extent do you allow joy to be your guide in the realms of intuition and psychic awareness?
Though there may be challenges, the Queen of Cups nevertheless can be kindness and compassion personified. Who in your life offers generosity of intuition, love, healing, and forgiveness?
She (or he) may be inviting you to study with seriousness your own psychic endowments. Are you being asked to listen to non-ordinary guidance and the longings of your heart? What relationship is before you, but perhaps hidden under the lid, for now?
This week, pay close attention to your dreams and desires. Let your love intermingle with your intuition, for combined, they will reward your trust.
May your blessings flow.

After finding my silver charm bracelet from when I was a child just a few weeks ago, I have been so enamored with charms... I've been finding new ones, searching high and low for these cute little interesting objects-- just to add to my collection.
Of course, there are so many places to search for these!! I'm particularly drawn to those that are 3-d and have hinges.
Thought I'd share some of my favorites I've stumbled upon so far:

It seems Mayor Baum has decided he doesn't like to hear from the public – at least not when they don't agree with him. At the end of the City Council retreat on Saturday he announced he wants to change the way "Public Invited to be Heard" is handled at the weekly City Council meetings. He wants to limit the entire process to 30 minutes because he thinks "it's ridiculous to have to listen for an hour and a half." Does this tell you something about the attitude of our new mayor? I guess he thinks Democracy is only worth 30 minutes. And if the other council members don't agree with him? He's threatening to move it to the end of the council meeting with the closing phrase
"I'm the mayor and it's up to me. I can set this up any way I want." Very chilling.
I find the timing of this decision very interesting as it falls right on the heels of a council meeting in which many people directed criticism toward Baum for a variety of things. (The other half were there to speak for or against the red light cameras). I guess Baum has decided that the best way to keep the criticism down is to shut down free speech at public meetings. That's one way to do it. The other would be to govern with integrity and honesty and accountability.

CKCT Youth Company presents West Side Story
Central Kentucky Community Theatre, Inc. 124 West Main Street, Springfield, Kentucky 40069
CKCT Youth Company presents West Side Story
Young lovers are caught between prejudice and warring street gangs in a high school adaptation of one of the most important and powerful musicals of all time. From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story High School Edition, is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories ever. Arthur Laurents' book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever; the score by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim are still widely regarded as among the best ever written; and Jerome Robbins' choreography endures as one of the most innovative and inventive applications of the medium.
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is transported to 1950s New York City as two young, idealistic lovers, Tony and Maria, find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the "American" Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time.
Central Kentucky Community Theatre was started in 2006 to provide opportunities to the citizens and youth of Springfield and surrounding counties to experience and participate in live theatrical arts. After 10 years of producing shows and educating students Central Kentucky Community Theatre has entered into a unique partnership with the City of Springfield in an effort to to expand it's outreach and raise the quality of it's productions and education initiatives.
CKCT is located in Springfield, KY and performs at the historic Springfield Opera House original built in 1900. Springfield is the center of The Bluegrass State and is conveniently located an hour's drive from Lexington and Louisville. In addition to producing a season of Main Stage shows, CKCT also produces shows in both of it's educational groups the CKCT Youth Company (grades 7-12) and CKCT Kids (ages 2-6).

Sanchez, Desideria – Large Jar with Bird Wing Designs (1920's)
$ 1,600.00
Desideria Montoya Sanchez was a sister of noted potter Maria Martinez. She was known for her traditional pottery and use of both classic and innovative designs. This jar is from the 1920's and has a wide shoulder and sloping sides. There are three sections of design, each with a stylized bird wing pattern. There are cloud patterns above the wings and below is a checkerboard design. Separating each of the sections are a series of small dots. The jar is highly polished and fired a slivery black coloration. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, "Desideria". It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. It's great to see a piece of her pottery with such complex designs.

Agency Law-Protecting Your Clients
This course is designed for real estate brokers and salespersons who need to acquire three credits in agency law. In this course, you will identify what agency law is. You will review agency law history including its origin from common law. You will determine the various types of agencies that can be established between agents and principals along with the benefits and limitations of each. And finally, you will identify the basis for which agency relationships are terminated.
Agency is a unique legal relationship that involves specific duties and liabilities of real estate agents. Agency law governs many aspects of an agent's relationship with clients and customers. This section identifies what agency law is and the types of agency relationships created to meet the needs of sellers and buyers in the real estate transaction process.
Without a definitive understanding of the relationship between an agent, the principal, and others interested in a given real estate transaction the affiliation can be unclear and confusing. This is due in part to the regulation established to protect the seller, the buyer, and the agent. The responsibility for knowing, honoring, and executing the broad range of legal and ethical requirements represented by agency contracts is every agent's responsibility. The process of understanding the complexities of agency law are based on a framework of specific terms and definitions.
