We talked to Emanuel Valeri and Tania Kehlet, the winners of the Amateur Ballroom event at the Blackpool Dance Festival. This was their first victory in that category as last year they were second. Emanuel and Tania represent Denmark. See their profile page.
Emanuel: Thank you!
Emanuel: I started when I was six or seven years old. My family, they were having social dancing classes and I went to watch. One day, just for fun, I started dancing with one girl. We did one or two competitions but it was nothing serious.
Emanuel: In Italy we have this style called Liscio Unificato – it is traditional Italian style danced in Ballroom hold. It consists of three dances, and it is similar to Ballroom style. So, let's say, I started with mainly Ballroom.
Tania: Everybody starts with that. This is the start of Ballroom
Emanuel: You dance in exactly the same hold. So I started with few competitions. Step by step I developed and my dancing became more serious.
Emanuel: Before Tania I had four or five girls.
Tania: (laughing) You don't know??
Emanuel: I don't remember. First I had a partner for few months and then I took another and so on. I am sure it was four or five. I danced in Italy first. I had all Italian partners so we represented Italy. I did all the classes first and won the Italian Championships in all the classes. It was like E, D, C... there were many classes those days. Of course, I did 10 Dance as well but mainly Ballroom. My focus was always on the Ballroom.
Tania: I started when I was three and a half. I was very young and I started because, well, my family never danced, but I was doing child modelling. They wanted us to do catwalks and walk to the music. Of course, when you are three yours old you cannot do it. So the owner of the modelling agency said to my Mum that it would be really nice if she could send me to some school so I could learn how to stand and walk. She tried at home, with candy, to make me do it but it was impossible (laughing) so she sent me to the dance school.
Tania: In Denmark. I actually started there with a boy I was also walking catwalks with. We started together in the dance school. And we stayed together and danced for the next 10 years! We grew up together. In the beginning we were really bad! So it was not like with Emanuel, who straight away was winning competitions. Only when I was around eight or nine years old I started to dance more seriously. Then we started competing. We were not competing before. We were in a proper old fashioned school dance school. It meant we went to dance two times a week. Every year you repeated the same stuff and you started over. I really liked dancing and when my parents realised I was learning the same for the fourth year in a row they decided to send me to a better school. From that moment it went fast. We started in Juvenile age group and we went to Blackpool for the first time when I was ten to dance Junior Blackpool. We were good in both Ballroom and Latin but, in the junior years we were better in Latin and became 2nd in Blackpool in Latin! In Ballroom we were in the semi-final. When I moved to Youth I started enjoying Ballroom style more than Latin. We were still good in both but at that time I made up my mind. I knew that my heart was in Ballroom. With my Danish partner we were very successful and in the last year of Youth we decided to skip Youth and go straight to Amateur. We won everything there was to win in Youth age group in Denmark. And then, we actually ended up winning the Amateur 10 Dance Championships that year! And then my partner decided to stop dancing.
Tania: I did not know that but, before we started in Amateur, he had already decided to give up as he did not want to be an Amateur dancer. He did not want to be a grown-up dancer. He loved to dance but he never saw himself being a dancer as a career. He wanted to have a normal life and I was totally opposite! This is what he told me, that he saw in me that commitment and that I wanted it so much and he didn't. So he decided to stop and became an actor.
Tania: Oh, yes, he is and amateur actor. He is still trying to get into some important schools but yes, he is into it. Anyway, we were having lessons with William Pino who came to Denmark to give lessons to the Team Denmark. When we split up, William said he had a partner for me if I moved to Italy. I danced six months with an Italian boy and then came Emanuel. So he was my third partner! (laughing)
Emanuel: In Italy. Of course, we met before, during competitions or in the studio because Tania was in Italy already.
Tania: Actually, first time was when you came to Denmark with your Italian partner to dance a competition there. I saw him dancing because at that competition I actually did Latin and he did Ballroom. I was watching his Ballroom and thought to myself I really liked him.
Tania: Just his dancing (laughing)! And his partner's dancing!
Emanuel: Come on, not the dancing, the muscles! OK, later we had a try-out in Italy. Before starting with Tania I was six months without the partner.
Tania: These six months I danced with the other Italian boy
Emanuel: I had no partner. My teacher asked me if I was ready for the try-out and, of course, I was. It was to be a foreign partner so I had to check with my family. From the first day it was very good. So I was convinced to dance with her. I went to Denmark to have another try-out with Tania and we decided that was it. We were eighteen and seventeen at the time.
Tania: At the try-out we got three routines and after two, three weeks we danced the Danish championships. It went very fast!
Emanuel: From the first day dancing together was great but it was funny because, language wise, we could not communicate. Tania spoke English and Danish of course. I spoke Italian, and that's it. I did not know English at all.
Emanuel: Exactly! When you go to Italy nobody speaks English (laughing).
Tania: We just smiled at each other
Emanuel: We were just dancing around the studio. And we did not communicate at all for the first three months or so.
Emanuel: Tania is very determined. It is good because she knows what she wants. She is very focused during the practice and competition. Everything is a study for her. She has a good attention to detail which is important. But the main thing is that determination and focus. These two things I consider very helpful.
Tania: He is also focused and all that. But, for me, the most important is this... lightness of mood. Emanuel is always happy. He is nice, well, not always and good for laughing in every situation! Whenever there was trouble he was a very good partner to have.
Tania: How long is this interview going for (laughing)??!! Emanuel, you start with that one
Emanuel: I don't know... let me think. The worst in her, hmmm... it is typical Danish, it is impossible to make her change her mind once she made it up. It is like, if she says something is blue, but it is black, she will not admit she is wrong! It will be blue to her. Or maybe this is because she is a woman (laughing)! Apart from that, I cannot find anything else.
Tania: It is a difficult question. There is no this one thing which is annoying. In the beginning, before we really got to know each other, his changes of mood were annoying. It is probably cultural, he is Italian and impulsive and I am Danish. We Danish are more calm and stable! Emanuel has these quick changes of mood. At one moment he gets very angry and one minute after he is normal and all is forgotten. I am not like that at all.
Tania: We are very different. He gets het up very quickly and then it is all over next minute. I am very calm, but when I get angry I get really angry!
Emanuel: When she gets angry you better stay away!
Tania: It takes a lot to upset me, but when I do it is serious (laughing). We are lucky we don't fight much really.
Emanuel: Of course, we argue sometimes in dancing when we want to develop something. Tania has an idea and I have an idea. And then we must find a way to resolve it.
Emanuel: No, no, we are trying to find balance. If one time she wins, next time is my turn (laughing). We develop things together. We manage to find a solution.
Emanuel: Yes, we are
Emanuel: It is difficult. You dance together and you start doing everything together: you travel together, you practice together, you are together 24hr really. It is difficult to separate these things. When we are on the floor, have a practice or a lesson we just dance. We don't think of anything else. We just focus on that and don't think of anything extra. Outside the floor we have fun together, but on the floor we are very focused on dancing.
Tania: I totally agree. Maybe it is a good thing or a bad thing... For us, our private life and dancing are not really divided or they are, in a natural way. We never had a problem with separating these: now we are on the dance floor, and now we are boyfriend and girlfriend. We always had this natural balance. Fortunately, we get along with each other in all aspects. The problem starts when you don't get along during practise and you bring it home. When there is a problem, we always talk it through and never leave it there. And then we get on with it. I, for sure, would not be able to have a fight during practise and then go home and be normal. Emanuel could! He would have forgotten it all after 30 seconds. So that's why we always try to resolve our problems.
Emanuel: Exactly! The answer is very simple. I like pasta. I know, as I am Italian, it is predictable but I really like all kinds of pasta. My favourite is pasta with seafood. After that, I like desserts, cakes and ice-creams. I have this bad habit that after dinner I have to have this small cake. I feel empty if I don't have it! It can be very small, but always something sweet.
Tania: Tiramisu...
Emanuel: Yes, tiramisu but also, in Denmark, there are very good cakes. They have this strawberry cake with cream. It is very good.
Tania: He is famous for that he likes this cake. Sometimes, our students come to the studio and bring him cakes.
Emanuel: In Denmark everybody knows I like this kind of cake so they bring it for me sometimes (laughing)! I also can say that in Denmark they have very good meat. I enjoy Danish specialities like this rice with curry sauce and meatballs.
Emanuel: Danish candies!
Tania: I really like Danish candies. They are so good. I like many things. We are really lucky that we travel the world and we try many things from different parts of the world. For sure, I love Italian food and pasta. So it is easy for us to cook.
Emanuel: Tania is a very good cook. She is good doing pasta. I trained her, so...
Tania: (laughing) That's why we started together! It was a deal.
Emanuel: Yes, she had to learn first how to make good pasta. She learned it so we could be together (both laughing)!
Tania: It is true! I was very lucky when I moved to Italy. I was very young and I lived with Emanuel's grandmother. I did not live in his parent's house. She was a brilliant cook. Italian grandmothers spend their day cooking. They get up in the morning, they go shopping and the whole day is about cooking. I asked her to teach me few things and she did. I was very lucky.
Emanuel: We both like to drink coffee. Tania likes cappuccino and I like espresso.
Tania: We tried a lot. It must have been in China...
Emanuel: You know, I am a little bit particular about the food. In a sense that I don't eat everything they bring me. I like simple stuff. In Denmark, they have a lot of sauce. They put sauce all over everything. When I go to restaurant I sometimes ask: meat, no sauce, only olive oil. And they look at me very strange. But I don't like all this mixing stuff. When we travel it is sometimes difficult to find something simple. You have to adapt of course.
Tania: We don't like to eat out in places we don't know. We eat out in places we know and trust. For instance here in Blackpool, there is one restaurant we go to have pasta. We know they have good pasta there. In Denmark, there is also a place we like to go to.
Emanuel: The thing with pasta is that when you cook it too much it becomes too soft and I really don't like it. You have to have correct timing with cooking it. But, of course, often you have to adapt and eat even if it is not what you like.
Emanuel: I have to say, we are careful, especially before competitions. We are aware of what we eat.
Tania: And we are very, very active.
Emanuel: Yes of course. And it is about moderation. When you want a cake, you take a small one. I know I must control myself so I take a little piece. I know I could eat a lot of pasta and cakes, I could eat constantly! In the summer we take few days of holiday or at Christmas I can easily pile up 3 kilos! I know how long it takes to lose it so I am careful (laughing).
Tania: We are very aware of all this. But at the same time, we also want to live normal life. In the end of the day we also want to enjoy our life.
Tania: We will be very fat!! (laughing)
Tania: It is funny, but we both enjoy food and, in twenty years time, we can easily be experts in eating and cooking as we won't be able to dance anymore!
Emanuel: Yes, European Championships. We lost it. We won two major titles: the World Championships and yesterday the Blackpool Amateur Ballroom. This is what we dreamt of and we are very satisfied with it. But I would like the European title to complete our collection.
Tania: Music is very important for us. We both grew up with a strong musical influence from William Pino, Hans Laxholm and Oliver Wessel-Therhorn who's passed away. They both had a strong influence on us. So music is extremely important. The other element which is important is man-woman interaction. At the end of the day there is always a man and a woman dancing together to music.
Emanuel: There is no dancing, no competition without music. You are always waiting for that first bit of music. I really enjoy it when there is live orchestra. For me it is different sound. Sometimes, maybe, you don't like the music or the tempo – of course, the orchestra is not easy. You have more control with CD. But for me, the sound you get direct from orchestra is the best. You cannot fell the same with the CD. Like yesterday... the music was very good.
Emanuel: Yes, I like it, I enjoy it.
Tania: The orchestra is beautiful. They are very good.
Emanuel: I find this that wherever we go where there is orchestra it gives us something extra, some extra "gear". For example, at the World Championships in Moscow, it was quite funny. The round of the 24 was with the orchestra and it just lifted us. We felt like we got another "gear". But in the semi-final and the final they removed the orchestra and put back the CD. It was a big shame because the music, the singers, they were so fantastic. And when they removed them, we really felt it. Maybe it is just us.
Tania: Other people prefer CD...
Emanuel: First of all, again, it is about music. Each dance tells a different story. Take Waltz for example. You can find a sad Waltz music and you can find a romantic Waltz music. And for us it is a different dance. In our opinion, the music matters so much that you will be dancing natural turn in different ways. It cannot be the same in the attitude, in how you approach this step, how you take position.
Tania: It will also differ in how you approach each other. A man and a woman will be showing different emotions when it is a very sad Waltz. Emanuel: It sounds difficult, but because we are so aware of this, for us it became so natural. For me, I hear one bar of the music and I already know the feeling, the tempo, the atmosphere. My brain switches to it very fast. What affect my dancing is also the people around us, the audience, it all affects the dancing. There is fun in it. Because wherever you go, every round you do and every dance you do is different. And everything can affect your dancing. We are very much aware of all these external things.
Tania: It is difficult to answer.
Emanuel: As people can see from videos from our dancing we are always trying to maintain the original character of the Viennese Waltz. We are not against the figures like pivot or if you want to dance the extended fleckerl or contra-check, but it must stay in character with the dance.
Tania: But it has to be in tradition with the original dance. The problem is, we think, that nowadays people think they are innovative. But they are not. They just take Waltz or Foxtrot steps or routines and putting it, only faster, into Viennese Waltz. So it actually it is off time, first of all, because it is faster and second of all they are the same steps! Foxtrot already has become very similar to the Waltz an now it is Viennese Waltz... So we will end up three different dances, three musics and the same steps. And this is a shame. If somebody would invent a new step which is in character with the Viennese Waltz then I am not against it.
Emanuel: It has to be connected with tradition of the dance. It is not good to do something just to make it different. It needs to be a part of it. So we must be careful to maintain its own story in each dance. Each dance needs to be in its own "bubble" not to mix with others.
Tania: We are quite famous for being innovative. People know us for new steps, new ideas and we are all for that. But innovation has to make things better. It must make things look more beautiful and fit with the dance. But, in in some cases there could be a risk that there is innovation for the sake of innovation.
Emanuel:What we try to do with our choreography is to have a balance. Take Quickstep as an example. You must have a nice balance between fast parts and nice, slow parts. Some people are just going for it, running too much, some other, just because they don't want to run, they walk. This is also not good. You must have both to make an interesting choreography. You should not go to extremes. When people go all fast, or all slow, they are not interesting. To be a complete dancer you have to do both.
Emanuel: It is my favourite dance! It may sound shocking but it is not part of Ballroom style for me. For me, there are four Ballroom dances and Tango is a totally different style. It is not Ballroom, it is not Latin, it is Tango. The hold is different to all the other four dances. So this already separates it from the other dances. Music is different. It is exciting to dance to it. I tried to experiment with choreography a bit. I tried some Argentine Tango steps. It still had to be in a proper hold of course. It gives me a special feeling, more passion, it is a sexy dance. It is very exciting for me. Tango is another World for me. This is my point of view of course.
Tania: We have very strong opinion about Tango. It is also one of the dances which changes to become more like the other dances. There are lots of shifts and movements like that now, and this is not Tango.
Emanuel: You never know! Take Markus and Karen. They changed styles and went to win everything!
Emanuel: To watch: Samba and Jive. But to dance? This is a good question. I like Samba but when I imagine myself (both laughing) dancing Latin it is Paso Doble. Because it is more like Tango.
Tania: I like all of the actually. Samba, Cha Cha, Rumba most. Paso and Jive less probably.
Tania: It is typical Emanuel. It shows extremes of his personality: the Tango side and then the Samba side.
Emanuel: Because it is fun! Samba and Jive, in a different way, they are about fun. Actually, Samba music can be as rich in many aspects as Tango can be. Many details of the music can be similar. I listen a lot to the music.
Tania: It is important to have somebody you trust. You have to have a coach who you trust so make sure you choose the right person. Make sure you choose somebody who knows a lot and has been there himself. In our case, we are very lucky. From the beginning we had the same teachers. We also were trusting 100% and we still are.
Emanuel: We never had doubts. We are loyal.
Tania: We were in a bubble in a way, we trusted and did not question these people. It is like a small group.
Emanuel: It is important that this group is small. When you have 10 teachers it is impossible to follow 10 opinions which are not the same. When you have 4 – it is easier.
Tania: And then practise, practise, practise. Many people think they practise but they don't. They spend their time in the studio but they don't actually practise. This is what we see when we are travelling around a lot.
Emanuel: Many people think of results first and then they think about the dance. It is a big mistake. If you are too focused on: I need to win, how to win, what to do to win, you forget what is important. If you concentrate on how to improve my dancing it may take a bit longer but in the end, it will pay back. You may not come first but people will appreciate what you do on the floor. This is what we experienced ourselves. Some people get stressed out about results and they get lost in all of it and they look lost on the floor.
Tania: You need to decide of how you want to look on the floor, what you believe in, and then choose the right people around you. And then just go for it. Our Danish teacher, Hans Laxholm, always says to us: P, P, P. It means: keep practising, keep pushing and keep praying! And I think this is very true.
Tania: They are specialised. Of course, our main coaches William and Alessandra are overall. And then we have other people who take care of different aspects like technique, emotions, musicality, dynamics... We are very lucky because in the Team Denmark system you also have an opportunity to work with dietetic, physiotherapist, physical trainer.
Emanuel: It is important as well to work with specialists. They can help you for example with what to eat during the competition. These are all small things but together they help.
Tania: But it is you who makes this work. It is you, together with your main coach, who choose what balance to have between each of those aspects.
Emanuel: Yes, very good. When I came to Denmark from Italy I was very happy with the level of support they gave us and still give us. They have a great system there.
Tania: We wouldn't get where we are without it. Even from young age you get some financial support so we were lucky never having to have a regular job. We were never rich but we managed to spend most of our life practising.
Tania: Yes, but it is still to do with dancing. When we were younger we did not do that much teaching as now. So if we did not have that support from Team Denmark we would have to take a regular job from 8 till 4. And then you are tired and you get into that negative circle. So we were very fortunate, from the young age, to only work with dancing. We have a lot to thank Danish Federation for, that's for sure.
Tania: I don't think, first of all, that you cannot divide it like this. When people are fighting about it, it really doesn't make sense to me. The world is not black and white like that. It is definitely both. Sometimes people say that in England dance is definitely art and on the other side it is only sport, right? And the hardest competition, most physically demanding is in England! You don't get it tougher! And on the other side, we have WDSF Gland Slam system where we have solo dances, so where is sport? You dance one minute and then you rest for 10 minutes. So, I think, it often is this kind of popular discussion but it is a lot of nonsense really.
Emanuel: It is both! When we are doing physical preparation, work on stamina then at that moment I feel this is sport. And then I put the music on and when I dance the natural turn I forget about the sport and I think about the art. That's why it is a constant mix. When you are not fit you will not be able to do the Quickstep. You will collapse before the last bar of music.
Tania: So without the sport element you cannot express the art!
Emanuel: It is so connected. It is predictable to say it is both, but it really is both! It is competitive; you want to win, so it is sport. In ballet you dance on stage but you are not judged. Here you are judged. Somebody comes first, somebody comes sixth.
Tania: Event the ballet dancer has to be fit. We work with ballet as well. You don't want to be out of breath after two pirouettes. So to be able to produce the art you have to be fit and keep fit. These two go hand in hand. The art we produce... we use our whole bodies to do it. You have to be physically fit to do it.
Emanuel: I asked some of the big, former champions about it. And they also had to physically prepare before they danced Blackpool. They were preparing. They did not just arrive at Blackpool relaxed, they spent two, three month before working on their stamina. It has always been like this. It is not just now. Call it sport or call it physical preparation but you must be fit.
Tania: The dancing for us is art, but to be able to produce the art you need to be athletic. And we are judged, we compete, this is also a sport element.
Tania: Don't know. I don't really know what I would change really... Perhaps it terms of funding it would be good. We don't really worry so much about it. If it happens we will see.
Emanuel: In terms of sponsoring it is probably good... But it is difficult to say. How many years they talked about Olymipics and nothing came out of this. We don't know if in the future it can become part of it or not.
Tania: Maybe it would be good in terms of recognition. It would be fun to try.
Emanuel: But we would not be able to dance together because of we have different passports. But maybe for dancing it would be a good publicity. So maybe, why not... We are not like: cannot be in the Olymipics because it would become too much of a sport. Why not try something which may help the danceworld? Just like the Strictly Come Dancing or Dancing with the Stars.
Emanuel: I can see your point. When it becomes too much of a study it is not good. You have to be able to express yourself on the floor. We like to be free when we are on the floor. For example yesterday in my Foxtrot I danced five rounds but no routines. I did not have routine, only floor craft all the way. But this is us. We like to have fun like this (laughing). It is a bit risky sometimes but it is a beauty of it. Sometimes during practise I test it and then at competition I do it!
Tania: This is how we grew up. For us it is normal.
Emanuel: Our teachers always pushed us.
Tania: Especially our Danish teacher, since we started dancing together, pushed us to do what he calls freestyle. It means you dance with no routine and no proper dance music. He puts on a song from the radio and we just have to dance to it. So we have to communicate physically together and make something up with our bodies to that music. This is something we've done for 10 years so it is normal for us.
Emanuel: I will go back to that Olympics question and solo dance. It is nice but what is missing, and I said that to everybody, is that when there are six couples on the floor you have to improvise with floor craft to move around, you must be able to lead and to follow, which is important to us. And all that goes away when you are alone on the floor. It becomes a little bit mechanical. And that part I don't like. When there are six couples on the floor it is more fun for everybody, it is more challenging and this is bit I miss when I am alone on the floor.
Tania: We use the word "following" but it is more about the communication between our bodies. I don't think that I am just copying and following whatever he does. I don't feel I am mirroring. I feel that I am putting my input into the dance as well. I think it is very important to see it in that sense. There is not a one way communication between a man and a woman in dancing. It is about talking and listening. Of course, the man is leading the steps and direction but he is also very aware of what the lady puts in. Emanuel responds to the movement I do as well. It is a characteristic of a good leader as well!
Emanuel: You sometimes see these couples where the girl is very restricted and cannot do anything. I think it is a shame because the girl can be very talented but cannot express it. I see that a lot on the floor. It also looks boring. You should see both dancers express themselves.
Tania: it is exciting also for a girl to do it. When Emanuel dances freestyle with me it is exciting for me as well. I follow of course, but my answer may be different from one time to another so, I hope, for him this also brings more excitement. So rather that the same line, the same accent, the same response every time he gets something unexpected as well.
Emanuel: Every dance, every round I do something different. I never dance the same. I sometimes surprise Tania, she never knows what I am going to do. We have a plan of course but when I am on the floor, sometimes I change it, just for fun for myself and for her. When you do the same opening in Waltz five times in five rounds people who watch you are also bored. You are also bored to dance it.
Tania: It is just us. Some people like to repeat the same thing. They see it as perfecting it. Everybody is different.
Emanuel: I told you we don't move so much in Tango! It is not like the other dances. It is so funny. One couple said to me: your Tango is fantastic but I know this one thing I have to go twice around the floor to get marks and you only do one "L" in your Tango!
Tania: Yes, but we do a lot in that one "L"!
Tania: We compensate for that in the Quickstep!

hey i'm in full PVP gear mostly epic more epics than blues anyway and i've healed and downed some Twilight bastion bosses and some bwd yet i'm only like 76th in the guild and people beating me are in mostly heroic blues with no bosses downed in any 85 raids. This is bull as the resilience deduction is hurting my rating i know pvp gear is supposedly useless for pve however the only thing holy paladins are losing out on is a bit of haste and mastery and the mastery is almost useless for holy paladins anyway personally.
I can out heal everyone in raids most mana efficient etc have healed for the guilds first team and second raid teams however im so far behind in the ratings . i understand for dps having a resilience deduction as it means less hit rating etc so lower over all dps but it shouldn't be the same for holy paladins because it doesn't reduce your performance that much if at all. In mostly heroic blue holy gear i lose out on like 12k Mana some spirit and heal for less.
are you able to reduce this deduction not by 100% because obv pve holy gear is better than pvp but not reduce it so much that when your on par with healing with someone with a rating of 4700 and you have a rating scraping 4000 wheres the justice.
also what is the equation for reducing score based on resilience?

Old Book 2 freebie
I'm sharing this one because it's so powerful, so hopeful, and so very clear on the conditions of this blessing. Most of us only hear part of this passage, never in context and it's always important that we know the context of a scripture. This is the key for America and all those who would prosper and have good lives:
"12 Then the LORD appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, "I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, 14 and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place. 16 For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. 17 As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep My statutes and My ordinances, 18 then I will establish your royal throne as I covenanted with your father David, saying, 'You shall not lack a man to be ruler in Israel.'
19 "But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, 20 then I will uproot you from My land which I have given you, and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 21 As for this house, which was exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?' 22 And they will say, 'Because they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers who brought them from the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this adversity on them.'"" 2 Chronicles 7:12-22

I have all 3 scenarios in Japanese and I played through them on an emulator as they were a number of years ago.
I have just completed scenario 1 again so I thought I would actually try and patch scenarios 2 and 3 this time.
I have successfully patched scenario 2 and I have mounted the cue file via Daemon tools so that it plays on SSF.
So I thought I would try Scenario 3 while it was fresh on my mind, it started to patch the file, but about 3/4 of the way through my computer gave me a error message, I tried it again and the same thing happened, the third time my computer said straight away 'Unable to copy over all files from CD'
Is this something anyone has had a problem with before? is it possibly to do with memory on my computer.
I'm not too fused as I have to play through scenario 2 first and I will play through the 3rd scenario in Japanese again if need be, but its just a shame as I got scenario 2 up and running...
Any help would be appreciated, i'm not too tech savvy so if it involves me changing loads of files I will leave it, but if it sounds like an easy fix i'll give it a go.
(I've tried scenario 2 since I wrote this, its has Medion's saved as his Japenese name!, i'm guessing everyone I've named in scenario 1 will be like this but i'll have to wait n see, its just nice having some English text though)

Woop woop, today I strolled around in Covent Garden with my man, brunching at our regular, Cafe Boheme, and bought a bunch of DVD's. Despite that I like football, especially finals like today, I decided on my way home that I wouldn't join the others in a pub, it's totally crazy out there and though I'm on my 5th floor, watching the game perfectly fine on my own TV, it feels like I'm on a pub anyway, screams and cheering coming through every corner and window of my flat anyway.
Now getting ready for a party night out, have a good one you too whoever wins!

What is the meaning of the colors in the coauthor index?
The coauthor index at the bottom of a dblp person pages uses colored boxes to indicate different communities among the coauthors of a person. Communities are identified using a simple graph-based heuristic. Each community is given its individual color, and the coauthor's names are listed in the coauthor index along with a box of that color. If there happen to be singleton components in the remaining graph, then these authors are listed with no particular color (that is, "empty boxes"). Please note that due to layout limitations, we do not depict more that 25 communities.

It is not money that you need to be most careful of when running a start-up. It's time! No matter how much money you are able to raise (or how's-this-for-novel, earn) time is always working against you. Unfortunately, I recently made the mistake of wasting my own time. Don't misunderstand the term "wasting time" as being completely derogatory. Let me explain!
I went to London to attend an event. Many people whom I know had mentioned that it was good and that they would be there again. I let myself get caught up in the "trend" of everyone going. I didn't necessarily think things through to completion though. Yes, I did see a ton of people and it was great catching up but if I am honest with myself, I didn't need to be there. This doesn't mean I should not have been at another event, just not this event. It also doesn't mean it was bad. Unfortunately for me, it was the best event in a long time for start-ups which wanted to fundraise from German VC's. It was also a great event for people who wanted to see the whole German community plus some UK folks in one place.
Was this what I needed? No, I should of been at an event where I could recruit developers or find folks looking to start companies. As I'm focused on the finance vertical, any event directly dealing with this space would of been better for contacts to potential customers, partners or employees. If nothing else, I could of learned something new about my industry or find an idea for something I want to build. My time would of been spent far more wisely.
Here's some questions to ask yourself before booking that next event which can help you make up your mind about how to spend your time:
1. What am I trying to achieve by attending this event?
2. Will the people whom I want to meet really be at this event?
3. Am I fundraising, recruiting, selling, looking for partners. etc.?
4. Will I meet new people or do I already know most of the people attending?
5. Can I go for a day or do I need to be there for the duration of the event?
6. Is it possible to attach any adjacent meetings in the same geography?
7. Can I get a speaker slot so as not to have to pay for attendance and gain visibility?
8. Could I send my partner or an employee in my stead?
9. What other events am I sacrificing by attending this one?
10. Do I really have to go to this event or am I just going to get away from the office and see that wonderful city where it's taking place (and my wife or husband wanted to come along)??
Bonus question: am I endangering my relationship or marriage by leaving said husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend at home to see someone else while away?
Be honest to yourself. If 10. and the bonus question threw you off, forget the other questions and rethink this whole start-up thing as well as your relationships.

For Immediate Release
Michael Briggs (202) 228-6492
Sanders: End HIV/AIDS Drug Monopolies
WASHINGTON - Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today called for eliminating legal monopolies that make HIV/AIDS medicine so expensive in the United States that many patients cannot afford treatment and die.
"The U.S. has – by far – the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs," Sanders said. "The simple fact is that the prices of patent medicines are a significant barrier to access to health for millions of uninsured and underinsured Americans and people die because of it," he added in his opening statement at a Senate Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging that he chaired.
Sanders cited the example of Atripla, the trade name for a combination drug to treat HIV infection. In the United States, the medicine costs more than $25,000 per person per year. The generic version of the same treatment, approved by the Food and Drug Administration but unavailable for sale in the U.S., costs less than $200 per patient per year.
What drives up prices in the United States is the government patent system that grants monopolies to pharmaceutical companies that develop new drugs. Sanders' legislation, S. 1138, instead would create a $3 billion annual prize fund to reward the discovery of new treatments for HIV/AIDS. Competitive markets would then ensure that, once a drug is discovered, it is made available at the lowest possible price.
Joseph E. Stiglitz, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, called the prize fund approach "exactly right." Testifying before Sanders' subcommittee, Stiglitz said Americans spend more on health care but get far worse outcomes than countries that spend much less. "We need to harness our innovation system to work to drive down the costs and to improve performance. It is not just a matter of economics. It is, in many cases, a matter of life and death," he said.

Globally, the number of people with HIV/AIDS is staggering. The World Health Organization says more than 34 million people have the disease and 2.7 million more are infected every year. In the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 1.2 million people are living with HIV. Each year, another 50,000 Americans are infected and 10,000 people die annually because of AIDS in America.
Although medicines can slow or stop the disease, many HIV-positive Americans simply cannot afford the drugs they need. An AIDS Drug Assistance Program administered by the states served a record 229,000 people in 2010, an increase of 24,000 over the year before. Federal funding has not kept pace. As of this month there were 2,759 Americans who need treatment but are on a waiting list.
The prize fund that would be created by Sanders' bill would be supported by the federal government and private health insurers in an amount proportionate to their share of the HIV/AIDs drug market. Insurance companies and self-insured employers should welcome the new model because the cost of the prize fund would be considerably less than the cost they already pay to buy drugs at monopoly prices.
The legislation would more than pay for itself. Experts estimate that the nearly $10 billion U.S. market for AIDS drugs could be supplied at generic prices for 10 percent of that figure. So even after spending $3 billion per year on the prize fund and $1 billion on the products, there will be a huge overall savings for taxpayers and consumers.
"The bottom line is that the goal of our laws and policies for medicines must be to develop drugs as quickly as possible, drugs that are the most effective we can find for the diseases people are facing, and to get them out to every person who needs them as soon as possible," Sanders said.
This is the world we live in. This is the world we cover.

Washington • Sen. Orrin Hatch says he has "serious concerns" with President Barack Obama's nominee for secretary of defense, though the Utah Republican didn't indicate Monday whether he would ultimately vote against former Sen. Chuck Hagel.
Utah's other GOP senator, Mike Lee, said he isn't sure whether he'll support Hagel or not and will wait to see how the nominee answers questions during his Senate vetting.
"The United States continues to face significant national security challenges and it is critical to have strong leadership at the Pentagon that can respond to our evolving and emerging threats," Lee said in a statement. "The nomination of Senator Hagel presents an opportunity to discuss not only his qualifications for the position and his approach to defending the United States and her allies, but also the specific ways in which he would seek to strengthen, modernize, and reform our national defense."
Lee now sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee that will evaluate Hagel's nomination.
Hatch, on the other hand, says he "likes" Hagel but raised concerns with his fellow Republican's positions on nuclear forces and his approach toward Israel and Iran. Hagel, who served as a senator from Nebraska until 2009, said in an interview with The Weekly Standard that the, "Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here," and he also voted against U.S. sanctions against Iran in favor of more direct discussions.
"I suspect that I might be able to support [him], but I'm going to look at it like everyone else," Hatch said. "I've been disturbed by the positions he's taken. On the other hand, is he qualified and is he going to justify his positions today? We'll just have to see."

When you enter Julie Chang's world languages class at Waverly Elementary School in Ellicott City, you leave English at the door. Then, if you know the answer to a question and are told to "qing ju shou," you raise your hand. If you're told, "bu shou hua," then you must keep quiet. And if someone asks about the weather and it's sunny outside, you say, "yin tian."
Chang teaches Chinese, one of two languages offered in the Howard County school system's world languages pilot, which is in its second year at Laurel Woods and Waverly elementary schools. Students in every grade take one semester of Chinese and one of Spanish during the school year, usually for 30 minutes, twice a week.
The pilot was introduced after school officials sought to incorporate foreign languages in early grades using a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) curriculum. Classes are centered around a science curriculum, focusing on such topics as weather. It also incorporates lessons in culture, health, language arts and social studies.
"We do games like Simon Says and do bingo games," Chang said. "We try to create gestures for everything."
Chang has filled the walls in her room with images and photos, most captioned with words in Chinese. Occasionally, she will walk the room as students are speaking among themselves to make sure as little English as possible is being used. During a recent second-grade class, students spoke with relative ease, with some occasionally pausing to come up with the right word.
"I'm always learning new stuff. Plus we're starting to make sentences," Waverly second-grader Kevin Baker said. "My favorite words are [those for] introducing yourself, saying hello, asking what other people are doing, and colors, numbers and weather."
Joelle Becker said she learned some Chinese words while watching the Nick Jr. television series "Ni Hao, Kai-Lan," whose main character, Kai-Lan, is Chinese. "It teaches you how to speak Chinese, and Kai-Lan is sort of like your teacher," Joelle said. "And Ms. Chang is our teacher for school. Class teaches us Chinese in fun ways. I hope more children can do it at different schools because it's really fun to learn a new language."
Students are not tested and no grades are given, school officials said.
"The real purpose at the elementary level at the present time is for them to be exposed and to have the opportunity to acquire the language and to learn about different cultures," Waverly Principal Kathy Jacobs said.
Howard Superintendent Renee Foose said the pilot has generated "positive feedback" from the community, and "many of our other school communities are requesting world languages in their schools as well."
Departing Howard school board member Allen Dyer, who helped lead the way in getting the program launched, said, "I'd like to see it go ... to every elementary school."
At Laurel Woods, third-grade students stand and recite Spanish words and slowly make corresponding gestures and hand signals. When teacher Jonathan Browning utters "rapido!" the students repeat the words and gestures in a frenzied pace.
Some students, like Laurel Woods third-graders Marvin Aguilar and Sheyla Rivera, say they already know a lot of Spanish but are learning new words in the class, or new ways to use the words they know. "I like it because we get to do Spanish activities," Marvin said.
Laurel Woods Principal Susan Brown said the school began with Spanish last year, and the classes have generated a positive response in the school's Hispanic community. The Howard schools website says Laurel Woods' enrollment is 21.3 percent Hispanic.
"My friend next to me, when she asks how to say a word correctly, I help her sound it out, and I tell her to keep on trying," said Sheyla, who said she speaks mostly Spanish at home. "Finally, she says the word right."

We have reached the end of another summer season. I have watched the Facebook posts of those who are leaving camp to go back to school, home, or another job. Each post is overflowing with mixed feelings of both sadness and hope. The songs, words, and prose abound with memories embedded deep within the recesses of the emotional memory muscles.
What has been learned and shared over what accumulatively may seem like nanoseconds in time will repeatedly resurface during the forthcoming years, having a profound impact on future experiences that will draw from these moments. Ellen Gannett inferred such influence in her recent blog post when she wrote about Willis Bright's ideas on navigational and interpretive skills. As Willis suggests, those skills actually serve as a moral compass, often for life.
Yet, why does this happen? I have often suggested it is the intensity and density of the camp experience. Yet, that is short-hand for something much richer. Why do kids have such a visceral reaction to the camp experience — one that often is rarely replicated anywhere else in their lives? Or why do kids reveal to others during a camp experience a side of them (even their fears or life torments) when they have not done so anywhere else?
In an NPR radio story on August 8, 2013, "Reading, Writing, 'Rithmetic . . . and Respect," I believe we gain insight into our own phenomenon. As it has been suggested, we know where kids go to receive "academic equipment," but where are the places they go to receive critical social and emotional readiness equipment? And maybe even more importantly, what happens to the functionality of the academic equipment if the social and emotional equipment has been neglected?
I believe the camp experience provides what many have called a "sacred space." A space where kids can find authentic adult mentors who are accessible — one cannot share one's feelings if time is not provided or someone is not prepared to listen. A space where words are used to "name" feelings and emotions, giving kids "emotional literacy" — feelings cannot be expressed, verbally, if one is not familiar with the words or is not exposed to others who know how to use such words constructively.
Finally, a quality camp experience understands and emulates justice and friendship; such attributes create a space that nurtures trust. When we trust others, we often put them in high regard — we respect them. I believe respect is the engine that ensures the social and emotional equipment is working — even through difficult times.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Black Employee Subjected to Racial Slurs, Demotion and Subsequent Termination, Federal Agency Charges
CLEVELAND - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit announced today that Eclipse Advantage, Inc., violated federal law by subjecting an African-American employee to racial discrimination and retaliation at its Aldi Food Service warehouse in Hinckley, Ohio.
In its suit (Case No. 1:10-cv-02001), filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, the EEOC charged that Rodney Williams began working in a supervisory position with the company in August 2009, and shortly thereafter was subjected to racial epithets from his superiors. On his first day, Williams was asked if he was a "black man or a n----r." The complaint alleges that management frequently used racial slurs, most notably the N-word in the workplace. Additionally, the EEOC says that Williams was demoted from supervisor to team lead and then discharged from his position as a team lead after complaining about a racially hostile work environment.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on national origin, race, color, sex (including sexual harassment or pregnancy) or religion and protects employees who complain about or oppose such discrimination from retaliation.
The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement. The EEOC seeks to eliminate these discriminatory practices and have Eclipse Advantage compensate Williams for his losses and provide equal opportunities to black employees.
"This case shows that racial harassment continues to permeate too many American work environments," said EEOC Philadelphia Regional Attorney Debra Lawrence, whose district includes parts of Ohio. "As bad as this racial abuse was, Eclipse made a bad situation worse by punishing the victim for complaining. This kind of misconduct is completely unconscionable and illegal, and the EEOC will continue to fight it."
According to company information, Eclipse Advantage provides distribution services and IT solutions at approximately 45 customer locations throughout the United States and Canada.
In Fiscal Year 2009, the EEOC received 33,579 charges alleging race-based discrimination, accounting for 36 percent of the agency's private sector caseload. Historically, race-based charges have been the most frequent type of filing with EEOC offices nationwide.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Still Don't Understand How Facebook Sells Movies? Read This./
By Reid Rosefelt The HBO show "The Wire" went off the air in March of 2008 after five seasons. It never received hire ratings or an Emmy nomination, but many critics called it one of the greatest TV dramas of all time when it was on, and admiration for the program has increased exponentially over the years.
HBO put up an official Facebook page in 2010 which currently has 1.7 million likes. This past Tuesday, December 4th they put up a picture Wendell Pierce as beloved Detective William "Bunk" Moreland accompanied by the quote , and asking the fans to share their favorite Bunk quotes.
So far, 1505 people have commented, 13,129 liked the picture, and 1879 people shared it, for a total of 16,513 mentions on Facebook timelines. Not all of the 16,513 timeline mentions are on unique pages but on the other hand if you scroll through the 1879 shares you'll see hundreds of comments and shares from those.
A good guess is that over 15,000 people put "The Wire" on their timelines in one way or another.
As Facebook users have an average of 130 friends that would mean that a mention of "The Wire" appeared on around 1,950,000 timelines.
Still, just because a Facebook user has a mention of "The Wire" on his or her timeline doesn't mean they see it. On average, only 16% of posts get seen, so only around 312,000 people probably saw it.
You heard me right—over 300,000 people saw a Facebook mention of a show that went off the air four and a half years ago, based on a single post by HBO. Even if my calculations are inflated--and I don't think they are--it is still in the hundreds of thousands.
These are big numbers, but what do they actually mean in the real world? Personally I don't care much if somebody likes some TV show on my timeline, particularly Facebook "friends" I might not even know. Although there will be some friends whose opinions I trust, with all the entertainment choices I have, I don't know if a simple mention or even strong praise would be sufficient to convince me. But it wouldn't be about a single day. It's a never-ending barrage of praise from friends that goes on for years, until this old show becomes linked in your mind with can't-miss current series like "Homeland," "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad."
I admit that you would have to be a hermit not to hear about how great "The Wire" without any help from social media. Still, we all hear about amazing movies and TV shows, but for one reason or another we never get around to checking them out. Eventually our vague plans to see them slip to the back of our minds and disappears.
As long as HBO keeps pumping out content, Facebook never ever lets you forget about "The Wire." And this goes for kids who are five years old today. They are going to hear about it again and again and again. The only thing that will happen is that number of fans will grow as people watch the show and the numbers of mentions on Facebook will increase by the hundreds of thousands.
Facebook is forever. Facebook is not about selling tickets this weekend or this month; Facebook is a long-term game which has a potential payout unprecedented in the history of marketing.
Or at least until there are TV's or some kind of visual delivery system and climate change hasn't killed us all. Even if Facebook is wiped out by some other social media platform, "The Wire" will live on there.
How much effort was put into that December 4th post? It's nothing more than a wallpaper photo recycled from long ago, accompanied with a line of text. It probably took an HBO staffer a minute to put it up, before moving on to "Sex and the City" with its 13 million likes, "The Sopranos," with its 2.4 million likes, "Game of Thrones," with its 4.5 million likes, and "Deadwood" and all the rest.
You can say, well "The Wire" is a very special show, and that is certainly true. But there are thousands of great shows in TV history that aren't taking advantage of social media like HBO is.
There are a lot of great independent films too, but 80-90% of independent film distributors and filmmakers are totally, completely, utterly not doing what HBO is doing. And I include marketing people who are on Facebook ten hours a day. Once they put on their marketing hat on they use Facebook like the people who are most annoying on Facebook. You know, the kind that never send you any fun links or make interesting comments about current events. The kind that only contacts you when they want something, like for you to like their page or come to their concert or art show or….wait for it…ask you to tell your friends that their movie is opening in Cleveland or Birmingham or Tuscaloosa or Chicago or Tampa or Austin or San Francisco. Did you tune out after the first dozen playdates? No problem. If you don't like, comment or share, the Facebook computer algorithm will stop showing them to you.
Can we do better than this in our industry?
Hell, HBO doesn't do Facebook that well either.
Reid Rosefelt coaches filmmakers in how to market their films using Facebook, and lectures frequently on the topic. His credits as a film publicist include "Stranger Than Paradise," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," and "Precious."

Knowing the steps involved with installing optical fiber systems can keep you from losing your shirt on your next datacom estimate.
Last month, we explained a number of differences between conventional electrical estimating and datacom estimating. This month, we'll go over some particulars regarding estimating optical fiber work.
The only real problems associated with estimating fiber jobs is that this is a fairly new technology for electrical types. Therefore, many people are not yet completely familiar with it. The risk is you will leave things out when preparing your estimate. Let's look at some of the pitfalls to avoid.
Fragility delays. Since optical fibers are vulnerable to damage, you must handle them differently than copper cables. This will require you to use higher labor units for these cables than you might use for similar sized copper cables. The estimating process for optical fibers is similar to other cable estimating processes, but the labor units you use will need to be a bit higher (10% to 20%), to account for the extra care.
The cables are usually tougher than copper cables. It's the glass fibers that are fragile. Because of fragility, you can't pull the cables with too much tension. Testing. Optical fibers and cables require more testing than copper conductors and cables. The first testing procedure is inspecting the cable upon delivery. In addition to this, you must include extra testing time for each fiber installed. Remember: This is testing for each fiber, not each cable.
All the parts. To avoid leaving things out of your estimates, you should think through the design of the installation carefully before you arrive at your final selling price. It might also be a good idea to put a bit of contingency money in your estimates. A small percentage of your total cost should be all you need.
The parts of a typical optical fiber installation include: cables, terminations (connectors), splices, breakout kits, grounding clamps, cable lubricant, pulling hardware, cross-connects, patch panels, cable boxes, splice boxes, racks, conduits, inner duct, tie-wraps, jumpers, cable markers, attenuators, distribution cabinets, outlets, and jacks.
Connector yields. Although fiber connectors are becoming more foolproof, a certain number of connectors will fail simply due to the difficulties associated with sanding and polishing hair-thin glass. Trained technicians can expect losses of 6% to 8% in the field.
Loose tubes and gel. When you estimate loose tube cables, add some extra time for cleaning up the gel that oozes from them. You must also account for paper towels and alcohol (or some other cleaning agent).
Necessary supplies. There are certain items you must have to get the fibers in place, terminate them, and test them. You should account for these items in your estimates: swivel pulling eyes, breakaway swivel or tension meter, microscopes, polishing fixtures (usually called pucks), termination kits, sandpaper, adhesive syringes, cleavers, stripping tools, solvent and wipes, canned air, and adhesives.
The communications closet. In buildings, the wiring closet is almost always unfit. (Designers created these rooms to minimum sizes 20 years ago, when they expected only a few telephone cables).
While itemized estimating is the most commonly used and safest method of estimating, it's not always the best method. Unit pricing has distinct advantages. Giving customers a price "per each" often works better for them.
A great deal of subcontract fiber work entails primarily the installation of connectors, or as it is commonly called, making terminations.
Although estimating datacom work has aspects that are different from estimating power wiring, the process is similar. As supply channels improve and the industry becomes more familiar with it, the process will inevitably become easier. But for now, you'll have to pay close attention.
Sidebar: The Take Off
The process of "taking off" datacom systems is essentially the same as the process used for conventional electrical estimating. By taking off, we mean the process of taking information off of a set of plans and/or specifications, and transferring it to estimate sheets. For datacom work, this requires the interpretation of a completely new set of graphic symbols.
Rules that apply to the datacom take off include:
Review the symbol list. Datacom systems are by no means standardized. Make sure you know what the symbols represent.
Review the specifications. Obviously, it's necessary to read a project's specifications, but it's also important to review the specifications before you begin your take off. Doing this may alert you to small details on the plans you might otherwise overlook.
Mark all items that have been counted. Again, this is common sense, but a lot of people do this poorly. Your objective should be to clearly and distinctly mark every item as you count it.
Always take off the most expensive items first. By doing this, you assure you will have numerous chances to catch something you may have missed in a first or second pass through the plans. This way, if you do make a mistake on a last pass over the plans, it will be with a less expensive and less critical component.
Obtain quantities from other quantities whenever possible. For example, when you take off conduit, don't try to count every strap needed. Instead, simply calculate how many feet of pipe will be required and then include one strap for every 7 ft to 10 ft of pipe.
Do not forget vertical runs. As you take off cable or conduit runs, remember they will have to go up or down to serve their loads. Do not forget to count the rises and/or drops.
Do not rush. Cost estimating is a slow, difficult process. To do a good estimate, you must perform a careful, efficient take off.
Develop a mental picture of the project. As you take off a project, picture yourself in the rooms, looking at the items you are taking off. Picture the item in its place. Make note of its surroundings and how it connects to other items in the room.

FRBI brauchte ein neues Anderes Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 308 Designs von 38 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
The Challenge:
This bland, run-down semi-detached condominium building (exhibit 2-4) has retained none of its original charm from the 1930s: In order to convert it to a single family home, we need to start from scratch (i.e., tear down the existing structure and build a new one).
The new building needs to be somewhat contextual to its surrounding buildings and especially the adjacent building (see exhibit 5+6). This is a difficult task of balancing one's creative urges with the realities of the neighborhood and German building code.
Selection criteria (equal weight):
- Degree of innovation
- Fit with preferences
- Feasibility / Fit with requirements
Re-invent a semi-detached private residence in Cologne, Germany, very close to the Rhine river.
All it takes to participate is a few sketches and a brief description. This competition is open to everybody, not just architects and architectural students.
1st prize: 1000 $
- Max. three full stories *plus* basement (which is ground floor level to the street side) *plus* penthouse
- Max. area of 12,7 m x 10,8 in current position (see exhibit 1)
- Seamless transition to the adjacent gabled roof building (i.e., no space between both buildings, same floor height)
- Two carports will have to be integrated in the front part of the lot
- Enable full views to the garden in the south and the Rhine valley to the east. Balance privacy and sunset views to the street-facing north-west side.
- Fresh, sleek, modern, and clean (not ornate), yet timeless design
- Contemporary, but not after the latest fashion - No "über-styling", i.e. designs that are not attractive to the eye five years down the road
- Functions (rough guidance):
Starting from the top:
- Roof garden
- Penthouse: master bedroom + bathroom + (if feasible) private living room + terrace
- 2nd floor: two bedrooms + bathroom + (if feasible) gallery
- 1st floor (garden ground floor): living room + kitchen + guest WC
- basement (front ground floor): entrance + mud room + guest room + bathroom + storage rooms
FYI: The eave height on the street-facing north side is roughly 8.2 m and roughly 7 m on the garden side. The apex of the adjacent building is roughly 13 m high, but please note that this does not need to be the limit.
How to participate:
The purpose of this award is to collect fresh ideas, not to have something that will actually be built. Anything that visualizes your creative concept works: Rough sketches, Google Sketchup models, etc.
We are neither looking for detailed nor ready-to-build plans, just for a few fresh ideas that fit the lot. This is meant to be just the very first phase of a multi-stage planning, there is neither intention of actually building the winning design nor building it with the winning designer.
Please submit your draft by Friday, October 15th, 2010 on http://www.99designs.com
Winners will be announced as soon the project is closed.

About Rick's In and Out Movers
Moving can be overwhelming and it's hard to know where to begin. Rick's In and Out Movers makes the process just a little easier. They can do everything from packing and wrapping your fragile items to transporting them in the truck and unloading them into your new home. If you'd prefer to pack your own things or drive the truck yourself, Rick's team can perform any single part of the moving process. Moving Tips: Four Ways to Make the Day Easier Preparing for a move is a big task no matter what, but there are ways to simplify the effort. Here are four tips designed to help alleviate anxiety on moving day. Use the Right Supplies Consider what Real Simple calls "the professional mover's secret weapon"—regular ol' packing paper, specifically unprinted newsprint. Its benefits are threefold: it's recyclable (unlike newsprint), won't smear ink on your belongings (unlike regular newspaper), and can be crumpled up to pad almost anything (unlike bread). Professional movers also recommend taping boxes up with brown packing tape—masking tape and duct tape don't stick to cardboard as well. Masking tape is useful, however, for framed pictures. Tape an 'X' over the glass to lend it extra strength and prevent it from shattering if it does happen to break. Liquor stores are a good source for divided inserts, which can make transporting a variety of fragile objects easier. Follow a Method Be methodical about the way you pack and label your boxes with the room where they belong. Packing kitchen items in a separate box from bedroom items will speed up the process on both sides of the move. Experts also suggest marking boxes—on at least two sides—with a list of contents and a box number. As you pack, you can keep track of all your boxes by logging their box numbers in a spreadsheet, recording them in a notebook, or writing them on postcards and mailing them to the new house. That way, you can confirm as soon as you arrive that every box made it there, too. Keep It Light Some moving companies suggest keeping each box at a maximum of 50 pounds, but if your bathroom scale doesn't go up that high, just make sure you can lift every box with ease. To distribute the weight of each box evenly, place heavy items at the bottom and lighter ones on top—much like the way you should pack a grocery bag. Hold on to the Essentials At the end of the day, you'll be sitting on the floor of your living room, hungry and exhausted. The last thing you'll want to do is open Box #138 to get the forks. Put anything you think you'll need on that first night into a box or suitcase and carry it along with you. These must-haves could include paper plates, plastic cutlery, and napkins; pajamas and changes of clothes for the next day; or towels, bed linens, and toiletries. With all the essentials close at hand, you'll be sure to have freshly brushed teeth when your new neighbor stops by to bring you an apple pie and conduct the neighborhood halitosis inspection.

China reformer says asset disclosure under study3 min read . Updated: 10 Nov 2012, 04:14 PM IST
President Hu had earlier warned that unrestrained graft threatens to topple the party's continued rule
President Hu had earlier warned that unrestrained graft threatens to topple the party's continued rule
Beijing: Asset disclosure for Chinese officials is likely to be slowly phased in over time, a senior Communist Party leader said late on Friday, as the government grapples with the fraught task of rooting out the corruption that has fed widespread public anger.
The comments from Wang Yang, a member of the decision-making politburo with a reputation as a reformer, came a day after the party opened a week-long congress to install a new leadership with a call to fight corruption.
Speaking to reporters, Wang said that the province he runs, Guangdong, is exploring methods for officials to declare their wealth and that in the future public disclosure of assets will be required of all officials.
"I believe Chinese officials, in accordance with central rules, will gradually make public their assets," Wang said after a meeting with congress delegates from Guangdong. He did not give a time frame.
Wang's comments highlight the handwringing at many levels of the party over its inability to tamp down on the corruption by officials and their family members that has deepened public disgust and fed many of the tens of thousands of protests that hit China yearly.
At the congress's opening on Thursday, President Hu Jintao warned that unrestrained graft threatened to topple the party's continued rule. He called on the party's 82 million members to be ethical and to stop their family members from trading on their connections to amass fortunes.
The congress itself had no public agenda on Friday. Delegations met separately to discuss the lengthy report Hu delivered. But in fact, most of the delegates have little say over the main agenda. The selection of younger leaders to replace Hu and his colleagues is done behind the scenes by the departing leadership, retired party elders and other power brokers.
Wang's views matter. An ally of Hu's from their days 30 years ago in the Communist Youth League, Wang has gone on to forge credentials as a reformer. In Guangdong, he has tried to guide the economy away from labour-intensive assembly-line processing and enacted more tolerant rules for environmental and other local activist groups that the party has mostly tried to suppress.
Wang has been considered a candidate for the new leadership, the politburo standing committee, though party-connected scholars say his policies and popularity have brought a pushback from conservatives, diminishing his chances.
"All party members are reformers," Wang told reporters on Friday, brushing off a question about his prospects. "The report clearly states the goal of the party congress is to liberate thoughts, reform and open up, rally efforts and overcome obstacles. This will not change."
On corruption, however, the party has been in need of new thinking. The party, which controls courts, police and prosecutors, has proved feeble in policing itself yet does not want to undermine its control by empowering an independent body to do so. Some officials have been required to report income, real estate holdings and other wealth to their superiors since 2010, but the measure has done little to staunch the graft.
The idea of public asset disclosure has been batted about for years, if more loudly in recent months following a string of scandals. A politburo member, Bo Xilai, was cashiered after his wife was convicted with the murder of a British businessman, and he is accused of corruption and other misdeeds over two decades. An aide to President Hu was demoted this summer after his son crashed a Ferrari he should not have been able to afford. Foreign media have also reported that family members of Hu's successor, Xi Jinping, and his prime minister, Wen Jiabao, have assembled vast fortunes.
Even so, a senior personnel officer for the party said on Friday that improving its internal controls and punishing transgressors remained at the top of the party's agenda.
The party is "confronted with growing dangers of lacking in drive and in competence and with detachment from the people and corruption", said Wang Jingqing, a vice-minister of the organization department. AP

CaroMont Regional Medical Center is competing for the title of �Most Beautiful Hospital� in America.
The local hospital is one of 69 nominated in the nationwide competition from Soliant Health, a health care staffing provider. The competition usually narrows down the field to 50 hospitals.
People can cast their ballots through Sunday. There�s no limit on how many times someone can vote.
The top 20 winners will be revealed June 28.
Here are a few reasons CaroMont thinks it deserves the beautiful campus designation:
The Birthplace: The idea behind the Birthplace was simple � to provide the perfect environment for families to share one of life's most amazing experiences. It was designed with the needs of patients and their families in mind. Many major pieces of art, from sculptures to mobiles to paintings, serve as landmarks to help patients and visitors navigate through the hospital.
The Education Center: Nearly 6,500 square feet of conference and meeting room space occupies the lower level of the west expansion. Both internal and community groups have access to six spacious meeting rooms off the entrance from the visitor parking deck. The average room size is between 73,000 and 76,000 square feet, and can accommodate upward of 80 people. Each adjoining room is divided by a partition that can be rolled back for larger groups. Each room is equipped with advanced audio and visual technology.
Campus Grounds: CaroMont Regional Medical Center�s landscape earned it an award last year. A grounds maintenance team canvasses the campus every day to keep it clean and pristine. Seasonal displays of plants and flowers adorn the campus, including 47 flower beds and 29 planters which contain red and pink knockout roses, begonias, purple hearts, green elephant ears and more.
