On this anniversary the most significant question I ask myself is:
On the 27th November 1979 I visited a notary public with my wife (at that time two share holders were required to set up a GmbH) and asked him to register the company Kraeber & Co GmbH to begin business on the 1st January 1980. The business began with a capital of DM 100.000, of which DM 27.000 was invested in the office equipment.
At the beginning of December 1979 I received a demand from the tax office to pay DM 76.000. For this reason we effectively started the company without any working capital. The tax back payment was based on an audit of the companies Holtraco and Alfred Nupnau, their activities having been sold to the Intsel Corporation, New York, in 1977.
My "Capital" was that I was well known in the German pharmaceutical industry and viewed as trustworthy.
To assist in gaining a better understanding a short summary of my curriculum vitae:
Independence and self-determination are very important prerequisites for me. It was difficult to accept the situation during the time as Managing Director of Intsel, because often changing instructions coming from the central office in New York had to be followed. For the same reason I did not accept taking the management of Marsing & Co, Copenhagen. In 1978, I had assisted John Marsing in the sale of his firm, Marsing & Co, to Intsel.
We booked the first order on the 2nd January 1980, arranged through my friend Jürgen Utermark of the Hamburg broker C. Reifkogel for the company EP Feinchemikalien Handel GmbH, Hamburg, for 1000Kg pharmaceutical grade Resorcinol and 1000Kg technical grade, which I obtained from my friend Horst Dieter Katthage from Dr Bohne & Co, Schwelm. I initiated the refining of the highly purified material from the technical grade by Dr Bohne in 1964. Today we are leaders in quality in the worldwide market. This is to demonstrate the continuity of our business.
We founded the 'Kommanditgesellschaft' (limited partnership) Kraeber GmbH & Co in 1986, in which my wife and both my children, Anja and Jan were incorporated. Besides tax reasons it was our idea to bring the children into the firm as partners at an early stage. Kraeber & Co GmbH became the complementary partner of the KG and undertook the management. The routine business was from this point the responsibility of the KG.
From the beginning of my activities in the area of pharmaceutical raw materials during the sixties I recognise the following requirements as essential. They are still now the basis for our activities:
We restrain from doing 'spot business', to make a 'fast buck'. Continuity is most important for us, as this is the basis of reliability. My principle was always "I must not become rich this year".
The lack of finances meant that there were 12 years total dependencies on the banks. We paid temporarely up to 16 % interest. That made it difficult, to increase the necessary company capital to finance investments and the continuously growing turnover.
Help was at hand by chance. We received the request to develop a special product, which we could supply during several years generating substantial turnover with very interesting profit margin.
Problems were on the horizon in the form of new regulations and directives. In 1998 we purchased a commercial site and space in Ellerbek, in which we built our 'state of the art' production facilities for blood fractionation. Precisely at the time when we submitted our application to obtain our production licence, without preliminary warning, a new alteration was included into the German laws that active pharmaceutical ingredients of human, animal and biotechnology origin have to be produced and documentated in accordance with the GMP regulations. Our authority in Kiel informed us simultaneously that animal blood fractions used for the manufacture of vaccines or diagnostics are treated as active substances. Our submission was only accepted after two years.
In the meantime we had invested € 300.000 in our change of EDV hardware, we installed the 'Charisma' software from GUS AG, Cologne, and introduced GMP documentation. Today we are overall pleased, that we went ahead with this programme. Today all medicinal manufacturers worldwide require GMP production and documentation of all active materials.
Difficult for us was the fact that many users stopped including animal origin materials, particularly, in the manufacture of vaccines, in the cosmetic industry and in the biotechnology industry due to BSE, swine fever and chicken pest. The result was a temporary decline in turnover in the animal blood fraction division up to 70%. Meanwhile we could compensate this decline.
During 2002 Jan Michael Kraeber became an equal partner and managing director. The handing over of responsibility goes speedily on. I have reduced my working hours from 60 to 40 hours per week and can pull myself back from problems. The company is on a good financial footing and well organised, the niche products are available long term, the quality of our products correspond to or surpass the newest requirements and we have not to be anxious about our competition. The personnel is well trained, trustworthy and work independently and with self responsibility, Jan (my son) has the necessary training and knowledge and will have support from Franziska Faber (my niece), who is limited partner and authorised representative. The book keeping and accounts are handled by Anja Kuhnert (my daughter).
Thanks must not only go to my employees but also to our suppliers and contract manufacturers. Especially also, to our customers who have facilitated by continued purchases thereby helping the building and continued growth of our business. Many of my business partners, with whom I communicated through the last few decades, are in the meantime retired. It is time to hand over the responsibilities to the next generation after more than 50 years in business.
Now as a pensioner I have time to work!
Only without the responsibilities of the daily business, am I able to deal with new opportunities. I can seek new partners as distributors, find new products, which we can manufacture or have manufactured for us. Manufacturing procedures to find or to acquire is an interesting job.
We have a good basis for this development work. We have an extensive library, experience and knowledge to build 'clusters', i.e. cooperation between specialists, along with the access to several international databases, the access to the worldwide market and reliable partners for development work and production.
The outcome of these activities is the production of Erythrulose, a substance that acts as self-tanning agent.
Finish working? No, why should I. I have made myself self reliant, independent and self determined in my time and can choose my activities. Why should I give this up? So to answer the question that was asked at the beginning:
I would establish an own company again, but certainly not under the same circumstances.
Today one must be aware of the fact one must be able to fulfil large amounts of additional legislation. Estimated approximately 300.000 laws and directives have to be followed. A company requires at least a general manager, a production manager, a quality controller, a first aid person, a risk assessment, a safety officer, fire officer, a bookkeeper, a computer expert, a tax adviser and especially a lawyer in order to ensure that none of these laws and directives is contravened! Ah, yes, one also requires employees to do the work and to earn money.
Starting today without ones own working capital together with just two assistants, as I managed to do, is no longer possible.
I request our partners to join together with us to continue another 25 years building up new business to our mutual benefit. There are never ending opportunities that we can make every effort to make a good living. It is only necessary to bring together the special knowledge and ideas of individual experts in order to generate new business. Our part is principally the organisation of the co-operation between the specialists and the putting together information.
I have a vision: The future will bring many new and very interesting developments. We shall find our share. We are moving forward with confidence. It can only keep improving.

What's on in Liverpool this Bonfire Night
Remember remember the 5th of November…
It's that time of year once again where the leaves are transforming into beautiful shades of auburn, the air is becoming crisp and the sky is ready to be filled with an explosion of light, colours and sparkle. Unsure of what to do this bonfire night? Not to worry, we've got you covered.
Fireworks on the River Mersey
(Display due to start at 6:30pm)
After years of fabulous displays in Sefton park and Newsham Park, there will be no official displays in either of these venues this year. Instead, the Fireworks on the Mersey are back! Beginning at 4pm, there will be plenty of entertainment before what promises to be an incredible finale; there will be street performers entertaining on the Albert Docks, Salthouse Quay, Mann Island, Princes Parade and – on the Wirral side of the river – Hamilton Square and Woodside Ferry Terminal.
As well as all that, at 5.30pm, world renowned Drummers Les Commandos Percu and Deabru Beltza will be performing, making their way through the city centre and finishing at the water front just before the fireworks are due to begin.
It is certainly an event that cannot be missed, so be sure to wrap up in your favourite scarf to shield yourself from the sea breeze and get down to the riverside early to get your places and soak up the atmosphere.
Sanity events
10pm- 6am (last entry 1am)
Underground Liverpool
If the Fireworks weren't enough and a night out is on the cards, great news: Sanity events are back! A spectacular line-up, including Sem Vox, DLDK, DJ Jacob Plant, Gerald Le Funk, Sonny Banks, Kayo D-Generation. Plus, with the very big special guest – Yves V – your bonfire night is sure to go off with a bang! Ticket prices are £20 and available on Skiddle.
Spark in the Park
St Helens, Sherdley Park: 18.00pm
If you fancy enjoying bonfire night away from the crowds of the city, St Helens 'Spark in the Park' bonfire may just be the event for you. As well as a bonfire, there will be a child's firework display at 7pm and a main display at 8pm.
Liverpool promises to deliver a brilliant bonfire night, so get your thermals at the ready and indulge yourself in the nights traditions of sweet treats that may make you loose a filling or two, hot stews, sparklers and of course a gigantic firework display. The water front is expected to be extremely busy, so we recommend planning ahead and getting down early to avoid disappointment!

Freedie Freeman? Check. Julio Teheran? Check. Craig Kimbrel? Check.
The Braves were doing everything that they had to do in order to keep their core group of players in tact over the long term. The next guy that they had to extend was shortstop Andrelton Simmons.
The Braves and Simmons agreed to a seven-year, $58 million extension back on Feb. 20. In a few of my previous posts, I explained that the Braves needed to act on signing as many of their young players as they could long term. I also added that after they signed Freddie Freeman to that eight-year, $135 million extension that the next guy they should target for an extension was Simmons, who had an historically good year defensively at a premium position. Entering his age 24 season, Simmons also has upside with the bat and could develop into one of the best all-around shortstops in the game for years to come.
While Braves General Manger Frank Wren deserves a lot of credit for finally expanding payroll and keeping his homegrown stars in place (as well as bringing in Ervin Santana after losing Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy to arm troubles this spring), there is another man that the organization hired not too much earlier than the Braves started handing out deals left and right.
The mastermind behind the Braves spending spree is a man who is exceptionally familiar with building organizations from within. He became the General Manager of the Cleveland Indians in September 1991 and led the team to six AL Central titles in seven years as well as two World Series appearances during his ten year tenure. He also has won two executive of the Year Awards, taking home the honor from Sporting News in the strike-shortened 1994 season as well as 1995. He then joined the Texas Rangers organization and served as their General Manager for four years. Although they never made the playoffs during his tenure, he remained in the Rangers organization as a senior advisor to General Manager Jon Daniels up until his contract expired at the end of last season.
The Atlanta Braves pounced on the opportunity to bring in a guy with this kind of knowledge and experience into their organization, and it looks like a fine decision early on. They brought in John Hart to be a senior advisor for baseball operations. Yes, this is the same John Hart that is the "resident GM" on MLB Network.
Hart has a history of developing and signing young players to long-term extensions. He did it with the Indians back when they had Albert Belle, Jim Thome, and Manny Ramirez back when the Indians had those high-octane offensive teams. He was also in the Rangers' front office when the extended Elvis Andrus, Derek Holland and Matt Harrison in the not-to-distant past. He also has a scouting history, having served as a scout when he first joined the Indians'organization in 1989.
John Hart knows how to build an organization from the bottom-up. He now joins two more brilliant baseball men in GM Wren as well as team president John Schuerholz, who was the constructor of the Braves' eleven consecutive NL East division titles from 1995-2005. He also spent twenty-two years in the Royals' organization, including nine as their General Manager. Schuerholz led the Royals to their only World Series victory in 1985.
But the Braves system has been put in great hands. And while Frank Wren and John Schuerholz will receive most of the attention, people should not overlook the current and long-term impact that John Hart has made on the organization in such a short time.

Scripps scientists explain how the fossil record shows how important parrotfish are for controlling algae growth
Feb 09, 2017
Marine ecologist Katie Cramer and marine geologist Richard Norris of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego describe how they uncovered the role parrotfish play in keeping coral reefs healthy in this new video. The two recently published a study that used 3,000 years of fossil records to observe the historical relationship between parrotfish grazing and coral growth. "We found that the more parrotfish there are on the reef, the faster the reef grows." Norris and Cramer said that they are sharing the information with local coral reef managers in Caribbean countries so they can improve their efforts to protect parrotfish from overfishing.

"Baby Girl" by Reggaeton is featured on Just Dance 2, Just Dance 3 as a DLC, Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of (unlockable via D-Pad), Just Dance 4 as a DLC for Xbox 360, Wii and PS3, Just Dance Now, Just Dance Unlimited, and 舞力全开:活力派.
Appearance of the Dancer
The coach is a man with a mustache and beard. He is wearing a big red-and-yellow beanie over his head, that has hints of green also on it. He also wears a light green shirt, a red, green and white vest, a pair of red shorts as well as a pair of yellow sneakers. He also wears a golden necklace with a golden-yellow pendant.
The background is a city street with lighted buildings. Around the dancer are some speakers, lights, cameras, and wires, which may mean that the dancer is being filmed or perhaps basking.
Gold Moves
There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine, all of which are the same:
All Gold Moves: Flip your arms up and down. These moves are done consecutively.
Appearances in Mashups
Baby Girl appears in the following Mashups:
Baby Girl appears in Puppet Master Modes and Party Master Modes. Here are the captions attributed to the dance moves.
- Jamaican Fish
- Ragga Shake
- Rasta
- Rasta Curves
- Rasta Groove
- Rasta Whip
- In Just Dance 4, the pictograms are updated.
- In the preceding Just Dance games, the pictogram color is orange. In Just Dance 4, the pictogram is red.
- Also, when the dancer is swinging his arms, the pictograms depict the arrows as purple but in the downloadable version of the routine, they are yellow.
- In the preceding Just Dance games, the pictogram color is orange. In Just Dance 4, the pictogram is red.
- On Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the song can be unlocked with a D-Pad code. The code is Up-Up-Right-Right-Down-Down-Left-Left.
- This is one of two songs in Just Dance: Greatest Hits that can be unlocked with a code. The other is Katti Kalandal.
- This is one of the few songs without an HD remake in Just Dance Now along with Dagomba, Boom, Cosmic Girl, Professor Pumplestickle, and others. This could be attributed to the fact that they were HD remade for Just Dance 4 when they were released as DLCs (besides Cosmic Girl and all songs that were released in the game later those ones).
- Along with Die Young and Primadonna, this song is one of the final DLCs to be released for Just Dance 4.
- Also, along with the same two songs, this song was accidentally released for a brief amount of time on the PlayStation Network during late-March 2012 for Just Dance 4.
- There is a photo showing the dancer from Let's Get It Started with a background and the background in the photo is highly similar to this song's background, but the cameras and everything else is missing, so it is possible that this song replaced Let's Get It Started.
- Limbo recycles a move from this routine.
- This is the only DLC that is not available for Wii U.
- The cheering sound from the original Just Dance 2 version is not removed in the Just Dance 4 version nor in later versions.
- Strangely, Baby Girl is not included in the Just Dance 2 playlist on Just Dance 2017.
- In Just Dance 3 for Xbox 360, the Shake icon is identical to the Gold Move pictograms for this routine.
- When the player completes 1 up to 4 Gold Moves on Just Dance Unlimited, they will gain the next star but the star bar doesn't reach the star.
- Two pictograms for the remake were changed after the release on Just Dance Now. The former versions had a spiral arrow, which is removed in all the later appearances.
- Baby Girl is one of 13 songs in Just Dance Unlimited to be from a main series game earlier than Just Dance 4 to have differences between the square, cover, and half dancer poses. In Baby Girl's case, the pose on the cover is different to the square and half dancer poses.
- The other songs are Big Girl (You Are Beautiful), Boom, Hey Ya!, Hot Stuff, I Was Made For Lovin' You, Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny), Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of Monika), No Limit, Professor Pumplestickle, Step by Step, This is Halloween (P3 only), You Can't Hurry Love, and Why Oh Why (P1 only).
- On Just Dance 2, the menu icon is flipped.
- On the preview in Just Dance Now, when the dancer performs the gold moves, the effect is missing.
- This is also the case with Funkytown, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Diggin' in the Dirt.

Nigella Lawson has reportedly been told she is not permanently banned from entering the US despite being turned away from a British Airways flight to Los Angeles at Heathrow on Sunday.
London's Evening Standard is reporting US authorities are believed to have the door open after she was told she couldn't board the British Airways plane because of her confession under oath during a trial last year that she had taken cocaine and smoked cannabis.
Nigella has a burgeoning career in the US, where she is a judge on cooking talent show The Taste.
It is thought she initially registered online and confirmed she had not been arrested or convicted of taking illegal drugs. But the US Department of Homeland Security has the power to bar as 'inadmissible' foreigners who have committed drugs offences, even if they have never been charged.
Sources said she will now be 'invited to come back in through a different process' — suggesting that if she applies for a special waiver she is likely to be allowed to travel.
A spokesman for the Homeland department's customs and border protection branch said: "In general an alien found inadmissible will need a waiver of inadmissibility.
"They may be eligible to apply in advance of travel for a temporary waiver of inadmissibility."
Nigella confessed she had used drugs while giving evidence in a trial of her former assistants, Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo, last year. Scotland Yard chose not to press charges.

Tight end Sam Hayes, the UNO's Pizza White Knoll Boys Player of the Week, has been outstanding both blocking and catching the football for the Timberwolves this season.
Hayes, a 6-1, 200-pounder who is in his third year as a starter for coach Dean Howell's squad, had a TD pass called back last week in a 42-10 loss to 5A #1 Dutch Fork.
We talked with Hayes before Wednesday's practice as the Wolves prepared for Friday's Senior Night match-up with Blythewood.

America's longest running black newspaper, The Philadelphia Tribune, endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders and Gov. John Kasich in the Democratic and Republican primaries on Saturday, ahead of Tuesday's election in Pennsylvania.
While Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton leads Sanders among African-Americans in the Keystone State — 69 to 22 percent, according to a recent Fox News poll — the Tribune primarily focused on Clinton's questionable policy decisions over the past two decades.
"Clinton has on many occasions exercised bad judgement on critical issues including her avid support for her husband's draconian 1994 crime bill which led to a major increase in mass incarceration of African-Americans," the editorial read.
"She has also exercised bad judgement in giving highly paid speeches to Wall Street, whose reckless speculation help lead the country to the worst recession since the Great Depression."
"In foreign affairs, she supported the invasion of Iraq and has publicly advocated a far more aggressive approach toward Syria than . . . Obama."
As for Sanders himself, the paper praised him for taking "a strong stance against police abuse and misconduct without demonizing good police officers."
"His critics say Sanders' proposals are too ambitious, costly and would never get through Congress . . . His proposals will not happen overnight. But Social Security was also seen as impossible."
Endorsing Kasich in the Republican primary, the editorial simply said that he is "a conservative who has worked with African-American state legislators on police reform".
On the GOP frontrunners, The Tribune didn't have anything positive to say.
"Trump has been reckless in his rhetoric on immigration, temporarily banning Muslims from entering the country and on a woman's right to choose an abortion. Cruz is so far right he is more conservative than Ronald Reagan in his tea party zeal to slash government."
According to RealClear Politics average of the polls, Clinton and Trump lead comfortably in Pennsylvania by 16 and 19 points, respectively.

Hasparren festival
12 avril 2018 by admin
At the heart of greens hills, the rich houses offer an at the same time rich and surprising past. Indeed, Hasparren « the city of oaks » was since the oldest times a strategic place of the Basque Country. After Romans, the Lords of the Middle Ages, the Age of the Enlightenment, the Industrial revolution exploded there in the XIXth century. A stroll in the picturesque streets will not leave the visitor without surprise: traditional Basque farms are transformed here into elegant houses with stony facades or barded by wooden half-timbering painted in red and green.

In mobile application, the block can pass message to the screen that calls it by sending event and its parameter. How is the technique implemented in web block?
Thank u
Hi Ofast,
For web blocks, you use the 'Notify' action in the web block, from there, when adding your web block to a screen you will configure what screen action to call on the notify action of the web block.
Inside of the action called on the notify, you can use the 'NotifyGetMessage' method to retrieve the message that was notified from the web block.
This is assuming you are using P10, the action names were slightly different in previous versions.
Let me know if you have any problems,
Thank you, Sir. It works!
In mobile, I am not able to use notify action, then how can I pass the values from Web-block to the page?
Found the solution,
We can use Input parameter in the event to pass values.

UK ahead of US in 4G speeds
The speed of the UK's 4G network is currently ahead of a number of other countries, including the US.
That is the finding of a new study, which has also warned that download speeds in the US are falling at an alarming rate, leaving it ranked 15th out of the 16 countries examined, with average data rates dropping to 6.5Mbps from 9.6Mbps per second.
In comparison, the UK recorded average speeds of 17.3Mbps, ahead of France, Germany, Mexico and Japan among others.
Researchers claim that the disappointing figures for the US stem from the fact that many of the country's networks have almost all performed poorly in terms of speed.
T-Mobile recorded the best data rate at 11.2Mbps, while AT&T reached 8.9Mbps, Verizon 7.6Mbps, and Sprint 4.2Mbps.
The study from OpenSignal used the data gathered from the six million users of its speed testing app and focussed on their experience of download speed and the proportion of time spent with LTE access.
It stated: "Looking at coverage goes some way towards mitigating the USA's poor speed performance.
"The USA performs well on our coverage metric, with the average user experiencing LTE coverage 67 per cent of the time, with Australia, the fastest country, on 58 per cent."
Researchers also said that carriers with more users tended to have slower speeds.
"This is the reason that some countries have improved since our last report a year ago, while others have worsened," the report said.
Although the averages for many of the 16 nations largely remained the same, there were noticeable improvements for both Australia and Japan, with speeds increasing by 42 per cent to 24.5Mbps and 66 per cent to 11.8Mbps, respectively.
That increase saw Australia come top of the pile, yet the US suffered the biggest decline, with average speeds tumbling 32 per cent to 6.5 Mbps, the second slowest global average.

The Department of Fish and Game posted lists on its website Monday of lakes and streams affected by Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Patrick Marlette's signing of an order last Friday to "codify a temporary agreement between the state and two environmental groups as part of a 2006 lawsuit over declines in native fish and frogs," according to a wire report published in the Siskiyou Daily News.
The lists notify anglers and residents that effective Monday and running through January 1, 2010, over 30 bodies of water in Siskiyou County will no longer be stocked with hatchery fish in accordance with the ruling. Included are the South Fork of the Sacramento River, Lower Gumboot Lake, Castle Lake and Toad Lake.
Among the bodies of water that will continue to be stocked are the Sacramento River, Lake Siskiyou, Lake Shastina, Big Crater Lake, Cliff Lake, Kangaroo Lake, the Squaw Creek, the McCloud River at Fowlers/Lower Falls, and the McCloud River at Lakin Dam.
The lawsuit has pitted the Pacific Rivers Council and the Center for Biological Diversity against the state. The environmental groups, which have also been critical of the Klamath River dams, have sued to limit the stocking of hatchery fish because of their effect on native species including the mountain yellow-legged frog and the McCloud River redband trout.
The Department of Fish and Game's Director, Donald Koch, said in the same wire report, "DFG fought hard in the negotiations to save its fish stocking programs. We are pleased that the order allows us to continue stocking in a number of areas where the communities depend on fishing."
According to many fisheries biologists, stocking rivers and lakes with hatchery fish reduces the genetic viability of native fish species. Hatchery trout, they contend, compete with native fish for limited resources and are more susceptible to disease. Pro-stocking advocates say that hatchery fish are quickly caught by anglers, or die in the harsh natural environments where they are introduced, and do not adversely affect native fish.
But in signing the order Judge Marlette indicated that he found the argument against hatchery fish more persuasive.
In a statement released after the signing of the order, the Center for Biological Diversity's Noah Greenwald said, "Interim measures limiting stocking are needed to help save California's native fish and frogs from extinction. Fish and Game will still be able to stock hatchery fish, but mainly in places where they won't harm native species."
The agreement comes out of weeks of negotiations between the plaintiffs and the DFG. Subsequently, much of the DFG's "research, educational, anadromous fish conservation, native fish reintroduction, and recreational angling programs" will continue, according to the CBD's statement.
In May 2007, the Court found that fish stocking has significant environmental impacts and ordered the DFG to created and Environmental Impact Report by the end of 2008. Last month, the DFG asked for two more years to complete the EIR, which the environmental groups responded to by asking for the temporary stocking limits.
"The mountain yellow-legged frog has disappeared from more than 90 percent of its former range in the Sierra Nevada, and introduced trout are an important cause of this decline," research biologist Dr. Roland Knapp commented in the CBD's statement.
"Likewise, unintended consequences of stocking nonnative trout without needed precautions have seriously compromised and set back the States own conservation and recovery efforts for its imperiled native golden and redband trout," Knapp continued. "On a hopeful note, a cessation of stocking and the removal of non-native trout from key sites can allow the recovery of mountain yellow-legged frogs and other native species."
Fishing contributes to many local economies, and many local bodies of water are heavily stocked with hatchery fish. A January report issued by California Trout estimated that recreational fishing adds $2 billion annually to California's economy.

Grantham teenager makes debut on primetime TV show
A talented Grantham teenager could be in with a chance of recording an album at the famous Abbey Road studios in London, after appearing on a new primetime TV show.
Jacob Storey, 19, of Huntingtower Road, is taking part in a new Sky One programme, Sing: Ultimate A Cappella, with his university's a cappella singing group Semi-Toned, in a bid to find the country's best vocal group.
Jacob, who is in the second year of his mathematics degree at the University of Exeter, joined Semi-Toned last September.
Now one of the country's most established university a cappella ensembles, they will battle it out against 30 of the UK's most unique and talented musical groups, who will all be using beatboxing and harmonies to perform songs by artists from David Bowie to the Backstreet Boys.
After being recorded in a theatre in London throughout summer, Semi-Toned appeared on the first episode of Sing: Ultimate A Cappella, which is hosted by Cat Deeley, on Friday.
Jacob, a former King's School student, said: "Appearing on 'Sing: Ultimate A Cappella' was an amazing experience. It was great to meet Cat Deeley and perform with my best friends. As a university group, we often don't get many opportunities to sing in such astounding venues and getting to do it on camera was an added bonus."
It is not Jacob's first stint at singing with an a cappella group. He added: "I sang in a choir called Syncapella, based in Harlaxton, so when I went to university, I was keen to continue. I saw Semi-Toned busking around campus during fresher's week and they were spectacular, so I auditioned and got a place.
"We rehearse three times a week, but this quickly increases, especially in the lead up to our annual tour of the USA and when we are preparing for our Edinburgh Fringe run. My family are have been very supportive throughout."
You can catch Jacob on Sing: Ultimate A Cappella at 8.30pm on Friday on Sky One.

In Pennsylvania, we have Extension agents through Penn State University who are great at answering questions like this about local plant life. Maybe your area has something like that.ReplyDelete
I think it is really cool that you planted it for her. What a great learning experience.
We do have that option too. I didn't think of it though! I'm really interested to know so I'll give that shot.ReplyDelete
I hope it grows. We'll both be disappointed if not - probably more me than her.

I'm excited about the FM17 release, lots of great stuff that makes the developer's life easier.
However, I just wonder why the price for the individual license is $540 in the US, whereas in Spain is $825!! this is just a crazy difference. I'll say good bye to small projects for one-man business. There is just no margin for adding the cost of development.
(Note: price in euros is 696,96€, converted to USD using today's exchange rate at 1.18)

Dr. Margaret Bain,
Editor of Birders
Journal, Friends of Second Marsh Honorary Board Member
"Oshawa Second Marsh has always been one of my favourite
birding spots because of its wonderful biodiversity as well
as its habit of attracting rare and unusual species. The marsh
is truly a jewel worth preserving, and with more and more
people becoming interested in conserving natural areas and
wildlife, I am delighted that the new interpretive centre
will give so many an introduction to this fascinating wetland
ecosystem and a chance to learn about the rich natural history
we have all around us."
Mr. Fred Bodsworth,
Noted author on natural history,
Friends of Second Marsh Honorary Board Member
"Wetlands are an excellent and exciting place
to begin to understand where we fit in the natural environment.
A wetlands interpretive centre, as proposed by Friends of Second
Marsh, will nurture an interest and sense of wonder in people of
all ages, and provide tremendous learning opportunities."
Hon. Ed. Broadbent, P.C.,
C.C., Former federal NDP leader, Friends of Second Marsh Honorary
Board Member
"For many years there has been a growing
appreciation of the wonders of Oshawa's Second Marsh. Many have
been involved but unquestionably it has been the creative leadership
of Friends of Second Marsh during the past three decades that has
made the difference. They have succeeded in restoring and improving
a marvelous wetland. Now they have their imaginative new venture
for a learning centre about wetlands and wildlife. Future generations
will look back on this work with warm appreciation."
Hon. David Crombie, P.C.,
Waterfront Regeneration Trust Founding Chair, Friends of Second
Marsh Honorary Board Member
"No feature on the GTA waterfront has more
appeal or significance than Second Marsh in Oshawa. The
development of the Great Lakes Wetlands Centre will be a great addition
to the Waterfront Trail and it will allow Friends to fully
realize the tremendous educational and recreational potential that
exists at Second Marsh."
Mr. Michael Grimaldi,
former President,
General Motors of Canada Limited, Friends of Second Marsh Honorary
Board Member
"General Motors of Canada proudly joins its
community partners in supporting the Great Lakes Wetlands Centre.
By preserving and nurturing this significant wetland, Friends of
Second Marsh will encourage generations of visitors to protect and
respect the natural world, and the Centre will help inform them
about the value of wetlands."
Mr. Glen Loates, Noted
wildlife artist, Friends of Second Marsh Honorary Board Member
"Our Canadian wetlands are a place of beauty
and inspiration, and an important link in the cycle of life. Many
animals would not survive without our wetlands. Over the years,
I have found a great source of material for my paintings here. It
is imperative that we preserve our remaining wetlands for future
generations to cherish and enjoy. A centre for learning about these
beautiful places is needed NOW. Friends of Second Marsh have taken
a giant step forward in order to help build this centre to provide
people of all ages with the opportunity to understand and appreciate
our wetlands."
Mr. Gord Miller, Environmental
Commissioner of Ontario, Friends of Second Marsh Honorary Board
"Wetlands are critical for maintaining
the health of our environment through their role in protecting
water quality, through their biological diversity, and in numerous
other ways. The Great Lakes Wetlands Centre will encourage the protection
of wetlands by developing an appreciation of their value in the
many children and adults that visit it and Second Marsh."
Mr. Mike Shields,
Director Organizing, CAW Canada
"The CAW's participation in the Second Marsh
project is a logical extension of our belief in Social Unionism.
Our lives extend beyond collective bargaining and the workplace
and we must concern ourselves with issues such as the environment,
housing, taxation, education, medical services and the international
economy. Social unionism means unionism which is rooted in the workplace
but understands the importance of participating in, and influencing,
the general direction of society. The Great Lakes Wetlands Centre
is a vital component in the education of future generations."
Dr. Stuart Smith, former
Chairman of the National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy,
Friends of Second Marsh Honorary Board Member
"The Great Lakes Wetlands Centre proposed
by Friends of Second Marsh will benefit the environment by illustrating
the crucial importance of wetlands and it will benefit the
economy by bringing visitors to the area. Its construction
and operation will respect nature and the surroundings; all in all
an outstanding example of sustainable development."
Chris Conti, Former Executive Director,
Friends of Second Marsh
"The only way that our children's heritage and the health
of our environment will be protected is if we come to understand
and appreciate the features and functions of areas like Second
Marsh. The Great Lakes Wetlands Centre provides a unique opportunity
to create this awareness and understanding in our children
and in the broader community."
Ken Ridge, Past
President, Friends of Second Marsh
"It is a privilege without parallel to serve
on the Board of Friends of Second Marsh and have a part in the creation
of the Great Lakes Wetlands Centre at Second Marsh. As a former
educator and avid birder, I know that the Centre will have immense
value in giving many people, young and old, a better understanding
of the natural world in general and wetlands in particular."
"The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
has a primary objective, the continuing existence of healthy watersheds
as a significant component of a healthy environment. Coastal marshes
at the bottom of our watersheds serve as a key indicator of upstream
health and a warning system of upstream problems. Second Marsh receives
the inflows from the Harmony, Black and Farewell Creeks as well
as the interface with Lake Ontario itself. A Great Lakes Wetlands
Centre would have the capability to educate and enlighten the broader
community on the science behind, and the stewardship of, not only
our marshes but their watersheds as well."
Mary Shea, Principal,
Durham District School Board
"Through our partnership with Friends of
Second Marsh, our students received valuable `real life' lessons
in the fundamentals of urban forestry and the value of urban woodlots
to their quality of life."
Tom Worden, Provincial
Chair for Ducks Unlimited Canada
"Second Marsh is the most precious wetland
within the heart of urban Canada and once restored it will provide
one of the most significant recreational experiences for the Greater
Toronto Area. Waterfowl, birds, fish, and other wildlife will benefit
from the marsh's restoration as well as people living near the marsh
and within the Greater Toronto Area."

The Warwickshire and Coventry Historic Churches Trust is holding Ride and Stride 2017, its annual fundraising event, on Saturday 9th September 2017 from 10am to 6pm.
Ride and Stride is a sponsored event where riders and walkers travel between churches, chapels and meeting rooms in their local area. It's always great fun and supports the repair and restoration of our historic churches.
The event is open to all ages – from babies to 90-year-olds! Any form of transport can be used, – bike, horse, tractor or buggy – and riders and striders can choose their own route to suit themselves.
Kevin Bond, Chair of the Warwickshire and Coventry Historic Church Trust says:
"Funding for church restoration is getting harder and Ride + Stride is WCHCT's main fundraising event, so it is of great importance for us. We are therefore asking for your support to encourage participants to sign up and start fundraising as soon as possible. Taking part is easy and forms for 2017 are available from our website www.warwickshirechurches.org.uk/infoforms.html as are a number of really good routes for cyclists, walkers and drivers to follow: www.warwickshirechurches.org.uk/ridestride.html
If they wish, participants can make collecting sponsorship money simpler by setting up their own fundraising page online at www.justgiving.com/campaigns/ charity/wchct/rideandstride
Having a great day out around our churches while raising money to keep them for us, and for future generations, is a wonderful way to spend a day with friends, family – and a picnic!"

With this weekend's snowfall, it looks like winter has officially arrived. Perhaps you've resolved not to hate winter as much this year, or maybe you're just looking for ways to enjoy it while it's here – we've got some suggestions to help decorate your home for winter! Now that the Christmas decorations are put away, we're feeling like our homes are a little bit bare and could use a some of that cozy glow for the rest of these long winter months. So, this week we've compiled a list of ways to winterize your home decor.
1. Get cozy. Add lots of layers and warm textures to your furniture this season. Think woolly pillows, chunky knits, fluffy blankets, and faux fur accents. Add textured rugs to cozy up underfoot. Sheepskin rugs are the perfect way to make a bedside or reading nook warm and inviting. Adding texture to couches, chairs, and to your bed will immediately cozy up any room and make the space look and feel warm and inviting.
2. Add a pop of colour. The landscape outside is looking pretty monotone these days. We recommend adding a pop of colour to infuse some life back into your space. Introduce colour into your space by adding colourful accent pillows, throw blankets, new art, or even some colourful curtains. Looking for a low budget way to add colour? Think about adding some colorful books on side tables, shelves or coffee tables.
3. Style your fireplace. The weather outside may be frightful, but the fire [can be] so delightful. If you have a fireplace in your home, make it a focal point during the winter months. Style the mantel with wintry objects – don't be afraid to leave your snowy garland out for a few more months. Or, add some of your favourite collected knick-knacks from over the years. Create depth and texture by stacking books, adding glass pieces, candles, pictures or older treasures. Around the hearth, add some cozy texture with logs and baskets (at a safe distance, of course).
4. Add some life to your home. We mean plants! There is no better way to liven up a room than to add some greenery. Think about adding large, leafy floor plants if you have the space. A simple succulent on a side table can go a long way to infusing some colour into your home, too. And that kitchen table of yours? Add a big colourful floral arrangement to the centre of it to brighten up your day (and your room).
5. Lighting. The days are short and the nights are long. But we might as well take advantage of that. Introduce accent lighting into your home that makes it cozy and inviting. Think about adding more lamps to side tables, and lighting those candles you've been hoarding away. We also love the look of battery powered strand lights in a cloche or a decorative bowl – they're not just for Christmas.
6. Add some fragrance to your space. Don't underestimate the power of smell to curate a cozy and warm space! We already mentioned candles, but we can't stress how much we love them. Lampe Berger is also an amazing way to add scent to a space. We recommend a warm and sweet fragrance, such as the ever-popular Orange Cinnamon, Gourmet Vanilla or Mystery Patchouli. Longing for those summery days? Try adding a fresh scent to your home with Citrus Leaves, or Ocean Breeze.

First person setting ultimately changes the method that you view the world of GTA V. It has the ability to make you think and quit about your activities, and to significantly issue a character's reasons.

Peter 'Pete' David Fidler[1] is a dobro player from Melbourne, Australia. He also plays mandolin, lap steel guitar and guitar.
Before playing the dobro, Fidler was guitarist/songwriter in Melbourne-based psychedelic rock band, Tyrnaround. Tyrnaround were formed in 1985 and active until the death of their singer, Michael Philips, in 1999. Fidler wrote one of their best known songs "Colour Your Mind" which was released in 1986.[1]
It was the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? that inspired Fidler to pick up the dobro when he was in his 30's.[2] Fidler released a solo album in 2008, Slide Night, the first Australian dobro album ever recorded.[3] The album was featured on the ABC Radio show 'The Daily Planet', hosted by Lucky Oceans in May 2008.[2] Fidler currently plays with Australian bluegrass band, Bluestone Junction, and has produced their last two CD releases.
Fidler also plays with several other artists, most notably Australian guitar virtuoso Nick Charles, singer-songwriter Bill Jackson (with whom he toured the United States in 2008 and 2010, where they appeared at the International Folk Alliance Convention in Memphis) and Melbourne country-rock singer-songwriter Waz E James.

Not a nice slice! Orthodox Jews fear severing Midwood council district will hurt
Orthodox Jews fear they'll get less political pork if a plan to split their Midwood council district becomes law, and are calling on the city to make sure that doesn't happen.
Residents of the 48th Council District, which is represented by Michael Nelson (D–Midwood), claim that necessary funding to local community groups will dry up if the city Districting Commission's succeeds in splitting Southern Brooklyn's Orthodox Jewish stronghold into two different district — moving a portion of the voting block to the 45th Council District, which is represented by Jumaane Williams (D–E. Flatbush).
"Jewish communities should not be sliced and diced," said David Pollock, the associative executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council. "It minimizes their ability to catch the attention of elected officials."
And without that attention, residents fear necessary community groups that get subsidized with city dollars will be left high and dry.
"We have our own organizations that need support from the city council," said Josh Mehlman, Midwood resident who would be switched from the 48th to the 45th council district. "We have our own interests and our own community groups that deserve funding."
Residents also fear the move will make the new 48th District a lot less conservative thanks to the fact that it would absorb a large community of left-leaning Russian Jews living in the Warbasse apartments in Brighton Beach — even if they agree on international issues like the state of Israel.
"The Orthodox are concerned about values issues, like homosexuality," Pollock claimed. "Races being fought over gay marriage and those kind of things are not too much of a concern for the Russian voters."
Still, the new lines are not yet drawn in stone, and the city says the residents will have be able to voice their concerns at a public hearing on the plan at St. Francis College on Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights on Jan. 10.
"They will have an opportunity to come and testify regarding that," said Carl Hum, the executive director of the Districting Commission.
And those against the plan are sure to be there to speak their minds.
"We're extremely worried," said Shimon Lefkowitz, who lives on Avenue I in Midwood, and would be taken from the 48th district and put into the 45th. "This is something that caught us all by surprise. We've always been able to vote in numbers and this is being taken away from us."

What a great race! The MAX Racing Team was born in Rome this weekend, and I hope we can keep it rolling. There is so much to report about Rome that it's impossible for me to give a complete report. This is not intended to reflect everything that happened -- I'm sure there's lots of stuff that I missed and it's probably unintentionally biased, but here's some of it from my perspective:
Racing for MAX in Rome:
Drew Slocum
Todd Wilson
Trey Gavin
Jake Andrews
Jeff Clayton
Doug Ott
Robert Jordan
(Chad Madan also raced for Pacesetter)
TTT - Great conditions, relatively flat 14-mile course with some rollers and false flats, four U-turns, and one 90d turn. We started well with 30-second pulls in a single paceline. After the first turn I still felt good. We shortened pulls to about 15 seconds and I was starting to struggle somewhat when pulling around Jake at the front. Jeff instructed us to move it 'up' to about 90% effort. The problem was that I was already way above that. At the 6 mile point I knew I was weakening and would not be able to hold out until the end, so I decided to do three more pulls as strong as I could, then get out of the way. I did that and peeled off at about mile 8 or 9 because I felt that I had started to slow the team down. I kept up a steady pace and eventually joined Trey and Todd, who did their work and peeled off later as well. Doug, Jeff, Drew, and Jake drove the train for the last few miles with Drew then Jeff peeling off nearer the finish. Jake and Doug drove the train into the station with Doug nipping Jake at the line. Average speed was around 26.1 mph. We later learned that we finished 3rd. We hoped for a win, but it was a strong first-time performance.
Crit - Downtown Rome, long, rectangular crit course with a significant little bump after turn 2. The field included about 70 riders. The race started very fast, as usual. Four of our 7 riders had never raced a crit, which put them at a big disadvantage from the start. Todd and I ended up starting at the back of the pack because of our late team podium presentation, so that made it even tougher to get started. I struggled in the first few laps, but finally clawed my way up into a more comfortable spot in the peloton where the yo-yo action was a little less severe. I could see Doug and Jeff constantly at the front attacking and bridging to other attacks. The PA announcer was constantly talking about the MAX attacks and tactics. Jeff and Doug even tried once to bridge together, which the announcer called a 'very rare move' I think. Being new to crits and getting caught behind crashes (and in Drew's case, in a crash) eventually caused Todd, Jake, and Drew to lose contact with the peloton. Jake made a valiant solo chase to no avail. Trey and I did some blocking in front a couple of times as Doug and Jeff set off the fireworks at the front, but it was a pretty uneventful race for me. Jeff got caught up in a crash with two laps to go. He got back going, but lost 1 minute to the field. I finished last in the peloton sprint (26th) as Trey sprinted around me for 24nd place. I don't know Jeff's and Drew's finish places, but they didn't podium. Of the four of us, only Jeff lost any time in GC. That was my crit goal, so I was satisfied. Doug, Trey, me, and Jeff sat at 5th, 6th, 7th, and 11th in GC, respectively after the crit thanks to the strong TTT.
Road Race - The 70-rider field started rather calmly over 5-8 miles of rollers with a couple of breaks that went nowhere. All 6 MAX riders sat in the top 25 spots, but did little work except for Jeff doing some. After a 1K climb that got everyone's heart pumping, we started a long false flat, then a long (5 mi) very gradual downhill run to the base of Horne Mountain (a 3K 6% climb that took about 13 minutes). During the 10-mile run-in to the mountain, Drew and Jake did lots of hard work and drove the MAX train in the front and completely controlled the race, not allowing anyone to think about getting a break before the climb. Doug sat out of the wind in 3rd acting as gatekeeper so Jake and Drew could roll unimpeded. As we reached the climb, the pace was very strong and all 6 MAX riders were near the front. I was amazed at how hard some of the riders started the climb. Did they not realize that it would last 13 minutes? The peloton quickly ceased to exist. A long string of riders intermittently topped the mountain, with Doug and Jeff getting KOM points and time bonuses. I'd guess I went over in about 20th place. I worked very hard on the descent and eventually gelled with 8 other riders to form a chase group behind a lead group of 7, which contained Doug and Jeff. We passed the feed station with a 30-second deficit to the 7-man break. It took my chase partners a few minutes to figure out that I had two teammates in the break and was more than a little unmotivated to chase. I gummed up the works as best I could for 5 or 10 minutes as about 10 to 15 more riders bridged to us. After the 1K climb, I was pleased to hear that the lead group had expanded it's lead to 1:10. I sat on the back and had an easy next 8 miles. The next time check was 2:20 to the lead group, so I knew Jeff and Doug's group would not be caught. About that time, Jake pulled his group of about 8 (I think he did most of the work) into our chase group. He had been working very hard to rejoin. We hit the base of Horne Mt. for the final ascent with about 30 riders. I got in a groove and was doing well -- sitting about 4th in a long string of 30 from the chase peloton. About 200m from the finish I stood up to 'sprint.' I think fast-twitch muscles do not exist in my body anyway, and any that I had at the start of the day were dead. A couple of riders passed me within about 25 feet of the line and one guy went around me on the finish by half a wheel - I finished 14th. Doug finished 2nd and Jeff finished 3rd for the stage. Drew flatted on the 1st climb, but restarted and passed lots of folks before the finish. Jake and Trey finished well also on the tough climbs.
The GC finish order was not posted when we left due to a scoring problem, but I think Doug might have won the GC! Jeff was probably top 5, and I might have squeaked into a top 10 GC.
It was a super successful first-time team effort for MAX. And we probably had as much fun away from the races as in the races. I'll update with more info as I have it.

SRU's Norton to present University action plan to State System
July 6, 2017
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - Slippery Rock University President Cheryl Norton will present the University's 2017-2018 Action Plan to Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education board of governors July 6.
Each of the State System's 14 universities is responsible for submitting a plan, which chronicles where a university has been during the previous academic year; where it currently stands; and where it is going in the next two academic years.
The format of the plans calls for each university to detail, in the context of university mission, vision and strategic direction: distinctive programs and accomplishments; opportunities and challenges; trends in enrollment; student success; and financial management.
Action plans also showcase alignment of university efforts with the State Systems' 2020 Strategic Plan.
"I am proud to be able to present SRU's 2017 Action Plan, that we've titled 'Experience the Difference,' to the State System as it is a plan for an institution that prides itself on making a difference in the lives of our students, our campus community and throughout western Pennsylvania," said Norton.
The three goals Norton will present are complementary to SRU's mission and reflective of the University's strategic plan. They are informed by the State System's workforce development report; the State System's persistence/graduation dashboard; SRU's performance indicator measures; the State System's financial risk assessment; and a Sightlines facilities review of SRU.
According to Norton, each goal offers opportunities and challenges, but is central to the delivery of the University's core mission "as a public institution that exists for the good of the public" and include:
-Goal 1: To offer a quality, flexible, agile and integrated curriculum and co-curriculum.
An on-going focus since Norton arrived at SRU, the challenge now is to continue to mature the University's areas of study to ensure that current and future students are exposed to a curriculum that is relevant in the 21st century; responsive to the needs of employers; has a strong liberal arts foundation; prepares students to compete in a global marketplace; and is integrated into the world outside the classroom.
"This development requires specialized facilities, on-line modalities, evolving STEM-H areas of study, international experiences and high-impact practices embedded in the curriculum - all initiatives that require new funding sources," said Norton.
"Our involvement with the Workforce Development Committee of the Allegheny Conference in Pittsburgh, along with discipline specific advisory boards, has helped to inform our curriculum development. This is critical because any new degree offering will always require additional funding. But if the market demand is present, we know they will draw students."
Norton pointed to SRU's addition of 15 new degree programs during the last three and one half years as evidence. Of those, 12 have been available to students for more than one year and all are meeting anticipated enrollment numbers. As a result, SRU does not have any "red lights" on its State System risk profile in those areas.
-Goal 2: To maintain an unwavering focus on success for all students.
For the past three years, SRU has been first or second in the State System for four and six-year graduation rates. That success is closely linked to the University's high persistence rate which typically tops 83 percent.
However, as Norton points out, that percentage is an average success rate that is not equally shared by all students. In particular, there are achievement gaps between the sub-populations identified as Pell eligible or under-represented minorities and the white majority students.
SRU's goal is to strategically focus efforts on those students who are most at risk of dropping out and being left behind. The most recent class of Pell recipients and black and non-Hispanic students matriculating in fall 2015 had a retention rate 8-10 percent below Asian and white students.
Although each student chooses to leave the institution for different reasons, preliminary collected data indicates that financial pressures, personal problems and difficulty connecting with the campus community are among the most commonly cited reasons.
"To address these issues, we have committed additional institutional resources to increase financial aid, add success coaches and to revitalize our former University Union into a Student Services and Success Center where a network of support staff will provide 'one-stop' assistance for those in need," said Norton.
"The major challenge to closing this achievement gap is our ability to recruit a college ready, diverse student body into a predominately white region. Butler County has a 4 percent minority population. In the Slippery Rock Borough or Township, the only minorities are our students, faculty and staff. Since 6,000 of our students live off campus, this community literally changes complexion every school year when more than 1,000 people of various ethnicities move back into the area. It is not always easy to provide an environment of support for our students off campus. We are beginning to work with the churches in the community to explore ways of extending a caring community to all members.
"Despite these facts, more than 10 percent of our students are classified as under-represented minorities. In 2015, SRU was identified as one of the top schools in the country for reducing the achievement gap. Consequently, while SRU does not have any red lights on its risk profile in this area, we can and must do more."
-Goal 3: Enhance physical resources and adopt sustainable practices.
Whether it is new windows, additional insulation, LED lights or energy monitoring systems, SRU's goal is to facilitate efficient energy usage on campus and reduce energy consumption. While the focus of this goal is primarily on buildings, it cannot be accomplished without educating the entire campus to encourage lifestyle changes.
From fiscal year 2014 to fiscal year 2016, SRU's energy usage was reduced by 11 percent with a 41 percent reduction in coal usage.
But failure to address aging infrastructure in a timely manner creates energy inefficiency as well as excessive cost for repair when failure occurs. The speed at which SRU achieves this goal, according to Norton, is to a great degree challenged by working with the Department of Governmental Services whose work timeline is "often unpredictable and causes delays."
Norton noted that when the University is able to supervise its own projects, timelines have been met. As a result, through good management of resources and anticipating future needs, SRU does not have any red lights on its risk profile in these areas.
"A record number of students chose to 'Experience the Difference' at SRU this academic year, a bench mark that was the result of three successive years of increasing enrollment," Norton said. "Undoubtedly, the development of new undergraduate degrees and the addition of professional master's degrees along with expanding winter and summer online offerings has positively impacted our enrollment growth. These changes have also shortened the time to graduation so that 50 percent of our students receive their degree in four years or less.
"Success, however, does not mean we can sit back and rest on our history, because our future is only a day away."

Sometimes I get so sucked into it, farming Heroics to gather enough Justice points for my shaman's tier set, I lose track of time. ...Then there's other times where I get so mad at the asshole tank, or the druid who rolled Need on a staff he didn't actually need, I rage quit and swear to myself I'll never play again. A few months pass, and the cycle starts all over. ...Like I said, addicting.

Chromos - Felipe Alfau
In the midst of the rampant idiosyncracy of Chromos a traditional novel exists in the form of one that the narrator's friend, Garcia, is writing. Garcia burdens the narrator (Alfau, obviously) by either reading from the manuscript or giving Alfau sections to read; thus we get, in portions, the story of the rise and fall of the Sandoval family. We have a strange – and funny – phenomena here: Alfau is the one who's writing Garcia's novel, and it's he who considers it to be no more than a tawdry melodrama. In Garcia Alfau may be giving us a portrait of the artist as a dedicated, indefatigable hack. The setting for Chromos is New York City, but the characters are Spanish ("Americaniards"). All are colorful, though Don Pedro (the Moor, Don Pedro el Cruel) is fantastical, an intellectual wind-up toy who seldom wears down, spouting far-out ideas and giving a running commentary on the people and events around him. I was simpatico with what the author was doing until one hundred pages from the end, when the scene switches to a party at El Telescopio (a bar the Americaniards frequent). First Don Pedro launches into an incomprehensible philosophical/scientific discourse, then the narrator gives a learned treatise on music and dance; both seemed interminable. Up to this point Alfau had ignored all the novelistic rules except one: entertain the reader. When he broke that rule – when he let his arcane indulgences run unchecked – my attitude changed. The conclusion of Garcia's novel, in which the Sandoval family descends to a most lurid end, no longer had its naive appeal. Even the colorfulness of the Americaniards took on artificial hues, as if too much makeup had been applied to create them. Feeling that I did not belong and would not be missed, I made a quiet exit from El Telescopio.
The Catherine Wheel - Jean Stafford
The action takes place at Congreve House, a summer estate in Maine. In Chapter One we're privy to the thoughts of twelve-year-old Andrew as he broods about his friend Victor, who is ignoring him while he tends to his ailing brother. Andrew wants the brother either to get well and go back to sea or, better still, to die – quickly and horribly. In Chapter Two we switch to the mind of serene Aunt Katherine and find that emotionally she's like a Catherine wheel (a spinning firework that flings out flares in every direction). Her crisis involves a man she was obsessed with in her youth; he married another, but now he wants her to run off with him to the island of Mangareva (he picked it at random from the globe). Next we get a look at the villagers, who range from highly peculiar to grotesque. At this point I began to wonder if there was an insane asylum nearby with lax security. But, no, Stafford was oblivious to the maniacal aspects of her scenario; only complete earnestness could produce prose like this: "The inseparable mind sang in its bone-cell and she was wheeled outward swiftly and the purblind mind nosed like a mole through splendid mansions of ice-white bone and luminous blood, singing with the music of the spheres." After reading this sentence I felt quite satiated and called it quits. Though I couldn't resist a peek at the last few pages to see if Katherine dies when set afire by an aberrant Catherine wheel. She is.
A Tour of the Prairies - Washington Irving
In his Introduction Irving states that he has written a "simple narrative of everyday occurrences" in which he has "nothing wonderful or adventurous to offer." His down-to-earth approach is one of the virtues of this Tour. He embarks onto the prairies as a member of a large contingent, mostly made up of military rangers. In 1832 Oklahoma was the Wild West, where the buffalo roamed and Pawnees were a dangerous foe. Irving gives a vivid picture of what this country was like before the encroachment of civilization. We get a fresh perspective on the Indians and learn about the pleasures and difficulties of living off the land. I was entertained and informed, but eventually my attitude became one of disapproval. Man must kill for food, certainly, but these men have a blood lust for deer, elk and buffalo (in that order of preference). When a wild horse is sighted it's pursued with the objective of capturing it, methodically breaking its spirit and reducing it to a pack animal. Man is a scourge upon the land; when Irving departs a camp he looks back and sees "Trees felled and partly hewn in pieces, and scattered in huge fragments . . . smouldering fires, with great morsels of venison and buffalo meat, standing in wooden spits before them, hacked and slashed by the knives of hungry hunters . . . around were strewed the hides, the horns, the antlers and the bones of buffalo and deer, with uncooked joints, and unplucked turkeys, left behind with reckless improvidence and wastefulness . . ." The author is sometimes caught up in the spirit of the hunt, but more often he wishes for the magnificent buffalo and the wild horse to escape, so they may continue their lives on the unbounded freedom of the prairie.
