(UPI.com) — There are significant differences between those diagnosed with high cholesterol and those with high cholesterol and hypertension, U.S. researchers say.
Jessica Brueggeman, director of behavioral services at MicroMass Communications in Cary, N.C., says despite these differences, one striking similarity is evident — neither group is very good at taking cholesterol-lowering medications as prescribed.
Patients with high cholesterol alone perceive high cholesterol as influenced more by heredity than by poor eating and exercise habits, and are less likely to see the benefits of taking cholesterol-lowering medications, Brueggeman says.
"This group is self-motivated and likes to feel in control, so it's vital to convince them that high cholesterol is a serious health threat that can precipitate even more serious health conditions if not treated effectively, then demonstrate how compliance with prescribed therapy, along with changes in diet and exercise, is the proven route to effective treatment," she says.

Christmas really sucked this year. It wasn't how I envisioned Christmas. I really LOVE Christmas, but this year, this year has such sad undertones, I didn't even put my tree up or any decorations for that matter. It didn't even feel like Christmas. I watched the movies on Hallmark, played Christmas music and even wore an ugly sweater, but just couldn't get in the Christmas spirit. This year was to be when my family would be at MY house, but when grandma is placed in assisted living and we are her only family left, plans change. When my husband's mother spent Thanksgiving in the hospital and then later before Christmas announced she won't be continuing her chemo treatment, plans change. In my fit of selfishness, I volunteered to work at Holiday on Christmas day, because why not? Christmas is going to suck anyways… We ended up having Christmas Even with my husband's side of the family barely showing up, just long enough to get a quick photo and then everyone dispersed. No special dinner, no exchanging of gifts, just hanging out…because as Joey's dad said "Christmas is cancelled, why are you here?"
Christmas for a friend…

It has been quite the year. Only 8 days ago did I walk across the stage at MSUM earning my Master of Science degree in Education. The first in my immediate family to obtain a Bachelor's degree and now the first in my extended family to earn a Master's degree has me thinking of how proud I am of myself. My husband says that he only gives me a couple of years before he believes I will get the itch to go back and start my Doctorate degree. Hmm…maybe we want to start a family first considering we have been together for over 8 years and only a few months ago did we get married. I have put his baby obsession on the back burner for too long now…
Here it is, only 3 days after Christmas and am wishing for those Christmas memories back! I work all year long shopping and finding the perfect present for each individual and am anxious to start sale shopping this weekend in preparation for next year; however, I feel that next year is going to be different. My goal is to create ALL handmade gifts in some way or another…let the challenge begin.

The "World City": London's Evolving Cultural Community:
How many languages do you think are spoken in the UK capital? Walking down Charing Cross Road or sitting by a fountain in Trafalgar Square at any time of the day or evening, you'd probably conclude that the total must be several hundred. And you'd be correct. The "london.gov.uk" website estimates the figure at "over 300". Dr Ed Baxter, Director of "Radio Resonance 104.4FM ("the world's first radio art station, established by the London Musicians' Collective"), believes it's far more – at least 350. Data published by the ONS (Office For National Statistics) and derived from the 2011 Census for England & Wales, has indicated that (apart from English), Polish is at No.1 in London's "top ten", followed by Bengali, Gujarati, French, Urdu, Portuguese, Turkish, Spanish, Arabic and Tamil.
The "London Evening Standard", also quoting information released by the Census, has noted that just "45% of the capital's 8.2 million population classify themselves as 'white Britons', compared to 58% in 2001 and that their numbers are down from 4.3 million then to 3.7 million now, even though the number of people living in the capital has increased by nearly one million during that period. The next largest ethnic groups are Asian (18%, 1.5 million residents), Africans, black Britons and those from the Caribbean (13%, 1.1 million), "white other" (such as Europeans) also at 13%, "mixed race" (5%, 405,000), Arabs (1.3%), "other ethnicities" (2%). The capital (emphasizes london.gov.uk) "is truly the world under one roof with more than 40 communities of people born outside Britain".
So where do they all live? A list of 100 locations, in alphabetical order, can be accessed on the Guardian newspaper's website. Among the examples provided are: Spanish /Portuguese – Portobello Road/Ladbroke Grove; Colombians /Ecuadorians (Elephant & Castle), Iranians (High Street Kensington/Queensway), Bangladeshis (Brick Lane/Spitalfields), Lebanese/Arabs (Edgware Road), Somalis (Crystal Palace, Kentish Town, Stratford, Wapping), Turkish (Edmonton, Stoke Newington, Walthamstow), West Africans (Peckham, New Cross, Woolwich, Plumstead).
The Guardian has also pointed out that "there can now be found high concentrations of Sri Lankans in the south (New Malden, Mitcham), Sikhs in the west (Southall, Hounslow), Hindu Indians in the north-west (Wembley, Harrow), Greek Cypriots in the north (Southgate, Palmers Green) and that New Malden in south London has the largest expatriate community of South Koreans in Europe".
The declared mission of the "Cultural Co-Operation" organization (based near Tower Bridge) is to "promote intercultural dialogue and understanding between the wide range of diasporas based in the capital". Their aim is to "harness the power of creativity to transcend hostility, establish common ground between people of diverse origins and encourage co-operation and tolerance. They describe themselves as "stubborn optimists" and feel that an important part of their role is to counter what they see as the media and politicians' interest in "dividing ethnic groups and making them feel they have to box themselves into different camps".
Cultural Co-operation (CC) started in 1987 to "deliver high-quality popular engagement with the world's cultures" when the funding for the Commonwealth Institute's arts activities was withdrawn. The founder, Prakash Daswani, together with his programming partner Robert Atkins, decided to "take the idea of the music village and host it in street festivals and parks in London". The current Interim Executive Director, Selina Papa and the Programme & Operations Manager, Leah Cowan, emphasize that the evolution of the festival themes encapsulate just how much London has changed over the intervening period. "In the beginning, the festivals were very culturally specific: Ethiopia one year, Papua New Guinea the next. The "Diaspora/ World City" idea emerged in 2002: It was a "natural fit " for Cultural Co-Operation.
This year's event, the "World City Music Village" Festival, took place in Osterley Park on 28th and 29th June and featured bands such as the 5-piece Greek "Pakaw!", the Caribbean "Melodians Steel Orchestra" and the all-girl Andean folk group "Warmi". The second part of this "Celebration of Cosmopolitan London at its Creative Best" was held at Wilton's Music Hall in the East End from the 5th-6th July. Among the participants were the Bulgarian "Perunika Trio", the Zambian "Namvula" and the Persian-oriented "Naghmeh Ensemble".
Although CC is active in four other UK regions with their training programme (which receives National Lottery funding, though the Festival doesn't), in terms of their music programme they "only have a London focus right now", which they see as natural as "there's always going to be new groups coming in, new waves of people arriving. There's a constant replenishing of community music". The Festival receives some Arts Council money but they are not at the moment looking for commercial sponsorship. They don't want families who have been "invited to enjoy a display of world culture for free" being confronted by "a lot of stuff on sale".
CC gets some financial support from Tower Hamlets Council which has "maintained and even strengthened its arts provision" – unlike many other Boroughs who have cut back on theirs. All the performers at the Festival are paid the same fee, irrespective of whether they are "headliners" (famous) or only just emerging. The programmes are "balanced so the less established groups are not overshadowed by the better known ones".
Papas & Cowan have noticed (with evident approval) a trend towards more "overlapping between cultures", citing a Bengali-Cuban combination as an example. They view CC not just as a Festival organiser but also as a "development agency for artists". Since 2003/4, they've had a close working relationship with Resonance Radio. It's a partnership which has suited them both. CC runs weekly shows on which their artists appear and for whom it's often their first broadcasting and interview experience. As Dr. Baxter of Resonance Radio has acknowledged, he gets the benefits of CC's "cultural knowledge, expertise and content". Every time Cultural Co-Operation "does one of their big festivals", Resonance Radio gives live transmission time to "as many of their musicians as is physically possible".

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Outside the European Commission's hulking headquarters, a poster on a street lamp proclaims "Titanic: final weeks".
It is advertising an exhibition in Brussels on the cruise liner sunk by an iceberg off Newfoundland a century ago.
But as Jose Manuel Barroso spends his last few days at the helm of the European Union's often maligned executive arm, with his designated successor Jean-Claude Juncker speaking ominously of "Europe's last chance", it's hard not to see the irony.
Barroso, a former Portuguese prime minister, is proud of having helped keep an enlarged 28-nation Europe afloat for 10 years through the most severe economic and financial storm in half a century.
"I was always confident that we would prevail, but I had to push the ship in the right direction, sometimes against very strong headwinds," Barroso said in an interview after a bruising final EU summit, his 75th as Commission president.
His legacy is to have helped the euro currency zone survive a searing 2009-13 debt crisis by establishing a financial rescue fund, enacting stricter budget rules, tightening financial regulation and starting to build a European banking union.
But he leaves amid a howling Eurosceptic gale in Britain and chill winds of anti-EU populism in many other member states, whipped up by mass unemployment and economic stagnation.
His happiest moments were receiving the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the Union in 2012 "at a time when there were lots of doubts about the EU even in European countries", and signing the Lisbon Treaty that revamped the bloc's complex institutions after French and Dutch voters rejected a European constitution.
He also helped make Europe a world leader in the fight against climate change and the drive for cleaner energy.
But after years of crisis with sleepless nights spent trying hold the euro zone together, other memories are more somber.
Barroso recalled hosting a private brainstorming session with the chief economists of the main European and U.S. banks in July 2012 at the peak of the crisis.
"I asked them two questions. 'How many of you think Greece will still be in the euro zone at the end of the year?' All except one said 'no'. The central scenario was the Greek exit.
"Then I asked: 'How many of you believe we'll be able to sustain the euro in its present form?' It was 50/50."
With financial markets in turmoil, he spent most of that month persuading Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras to embrace radical reforms and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the most powerful EU leader, to keep Athens in the currency area.
"There were many important personalities even in the German government saying the best thing is to put Greece and some others out so that we can save the rest," he recalled.
If Greece had been cut loose, Portugal, Spain and Italy would have come under immediate market pressure. The survival of the euro, launched in 1999 as Europe's central economic project underpinning its single market, would have been in jeopardy.
Barroso said he had appealed to Merkel's cautious instincts.
"For me the point was not so much to convince her of the interest of having Greece in the euro, but to convince her of the danger of not having Greece.
"I said 'do you want to jump in the dark?'. This is a powerful argument with someone like Angela Merkel whose decision-making system is basically conservative in the good sense of the word. She tries to minimise risk, not to maximise benefit."
On another occasion, at a fraught Group of 20 economic summit in the French resort of Cannes in November 2011, Barroso enlisted the support of U.S. President Barack Obama to thwart German pressure to force Italy to accept an International Monetary Fund standby loan program.
"This was perhaps my most difficult moment," he said.
He told doubting world leaders such as Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin the euro would survive, not with one neat, clean solution, but by "muddling through".
Barroso's decade in office began under a cloud. He was not the preferred candidate of the two main EU powers, Germany and France, and was picked only after Britain vetoed then Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, a keen European federalist.
Deep inside the centre-right pragmatist, who began political life as a Maoist student radical in Portugal's 1974 revolution, lurks a feeling that the EU establishment looked down on him.
He is bitter about criticism from fervent enthusiasts for European integration who maintain he weakened the Commission's leading role and kowtowed to the big member states.
"How can all these experts on European politics say and write that EU institutions have been downgraded and what we have now is (the rule of) inter-governmentalism and Germany? They have understood nothing," Barroso said.
"The powers I have today are much bigger than the powers of my great predecessor Jacques Delors, someone I greatly admire," he said, citing notably the Commission's enhanced role in surveillance of national budgets.
Those new powers are one reason why Barroso's term is ending amid a political furore.
Seeking to enforce fiscal rules strengthened during the crisis, the Commission is in a stand-off with France and Italy over their budget deficits. Barroso clashed with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi over Rome's publication of a confidential letter from the Commission that demanded an explanation.
There was also an outcry by Britain over a statistical revision of national accounts that means London is required to pay a 2.1 billion euro top-up into the EU budget by Dec. 1.
No one in Brussels seems to have realised how explosive the annual accounting exercise could be, Barroso acknowledged.
With the anti-EU UK Independence Party snapping at his heels, British Prime Minister David Cameron refused to pay and unleashed verbal fury at Brussels, saying this sort of incident made it harder to persuade Britons to vote to stay in the EU. He was backed by Renzi who denounced "bureaucrats without a heart".
Visible shaken by the firestorm, Barroso said the matter had been handled "at a technical level" without his knowledge.
As the longest-serving EU leader, Merkel presented Barroso and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, who chairs EU summits, with a gift of fine porcelain plates at a farewell lunch — a delicate gift to end a tempestuous assignment.

This Turtle is trapped in a net that was lost when fish men were trying to catch another type of sea creature. This happens a lot with in our seas its called by-catch. Looking in this picture you can clearly see how the sea turtle was not the wanted prey.VIEW MORE
In this photo you see a large sea turtle that was pulled out of the ocean when fishers when they were trying to catch what they needed. They plan to put this turtle and all of the other animals back in the sea. But, you can clearly see that the turtle and the rest of the animals cant live in these conditions because of what happened. When put back into the sea there are very few who are still a live and even fewer that will serve in the ocean.VIEW MORE
Loggerhead turtles numbers are decreasing rapidly. The primary reason is the amount caught in nets, traps, or any other item that creates by-catch. In 2000 over 200000 were caught by accident on the Commercial long lines. Since then there has luckily been a decrease in the amount caught.VIEW MORE
WWF is one of the groups working to create safer environment for these sea turtles. The biggest thing the are working on is the circle hooks which are a lot less likely to get caught in the throat of a sea turtle. They are also changing up bait to see which is the less likely bait to attract a sea turtle. Since this started over 700 fishing vessels have made changes to the way they run their fishing tech-niches.VIEW MORE
This info-graphic introduces us to the world of the Sea Turtle. There are 7 species of sea turtles in our ocean and every single one is effected by by-catch. Unlike any other this shows us how America isn't even the biggest problem with by-catch of sea turtles but lower Europe is. Knowing this we can see how this will have to be a world wide change.VIEW MORE
Seen in the graphs every single species is highly affected by the standard hook sea turtles being the highest by-catch victims. When the hooks were changed to circle hooks there was a huge drop for most species. Except for the rays who stayed the same. But this showed a huge accomplishment into stopping the by-catch and growing further in the stop of decreased populations.VIEW MORE
There are hospitals in Florida that are devoted to saving these turtles. Most of the turtles that are helped here have been effected by pollution or were apart of by-catch. Here they are brought back to the standard health and released back into the ocean.VIEW MORE
When sea turtles are born they have a long journey to get to the sea where most of them don't make it. once in the ocean they have a lot more to deal with and barley any serve from birth. Now their is a a new predator out there and they have troubles serving past that. By- catch is lowering the number even further than we have seen before. Now its time to finish the change in the Pacific Ocean.VIEW MORE
Knowing that we cant be 100% by-catch free we are working on new ways to help prevent by-catch as much as possible. Realizing the impact was the first step. our step now is finding new technology and techniques to help solve this problem.VIEW MORE
Researchers have found out that there is a way to keep sea turtles out of the mix in by-catch. By having new water safe found LED lights connected to nets keeping the sea turtles from accidentally getting in tangled in them. So far this has proved a huge impact on these turtles.VIEW MORE
As shown in this video many Sea turtles need our help to serve. Even if you can't personally go take a net off of one you can see how the problem needs to be fixed. It will take all of us to help find the Solution.VIEW MORE

The digital generation will use pen and paper to build connections between urban and farming communities.
Dairy Australia's Student Pen Pal program will see children across Australia writing letters to each other to help connect country and city kids and paint a more accurate picture of life on a dairy farm.
The program will be launched on Dairy Australia's education platform, Discover Dairy, in July 2018 ready for primary schools across Australia to put pen to paper in Term 3.
The Pen Pal program will help teachers and schools develop their 'Farm to Plate' curriculum and will encourage them to use dairy as an example of how quality Australian food is produced.
Queensland dairy farmer Luke Stock is keen for his children to become involved in the program, which he believes can reconnect people who have lost touch with Australia's agriculture sector.
"That rural city divide has grown, certainly during my lifetime, so I think that the Pen Pal program between rural and city schools will be very good," he said.
"I think back even to my father's generation when everybody had that rural connection.
"They had an uncle or cousins on the land, but we have lost that to some degree."
With wife Bek and children Elisha, 12, Sarah, 9, Chloe, 6 and Hayden, 3, Luke runs a 69-hectare farm at Glenore Grove in the Lockyer Valley, west of Brisbane.
He said he was looking forward to his children immersing themselves in the fourth-generation family farm.
"Particularly the oldest girl, Elisha, will have a bit to do with the program, sharing her experiences of growing up on a farm," he said.
The Stock family will feature in a series of documentary-style videos showcasing life on a dairy farm.
Schools participating in the Pen Pal program will use the videos to inspire classroom learning and their letter writing.
With so much online misinformation about the dairy industry, Mr Stock said it was important that farming families were able to tell their stories directly to those who had little or no interaction with the agriculture sector.
He said he thought people would be pleasantly surprised to see how well dairy cows were treated and how much care went into looking after them.
"I won't say we care for our animals better than we care for ourselves, but they have their own nutritionist which means their diet is probably balanced better than ours," Mr Stock said.
Dairy Australia's School Communications Coordinator Emma Rundle said she was excited to see primary schools support this program to bridge the gap between urban and rural regions and increase children's understanding of the Australian dairy industry.
"The Australian Curriculum has an increased focus on educating children about Food and Fibre production and the Student Pen Pal program will help bring the dairy industry to life in classrooms," she said.

Spring seems like it's here, so I thought I'd brew a light, tart, refreshing beer, a Ginger Saison. Made with mostly pilsen malts, light dry extract, and a little munich malt. I'm doing a partial mash this time, using 4 pounds of grain and 3 pounds of extract. I added 2 oz. of liberty hops in a the start of the boil and 3 oz. of candied ginger near the end. I'm also using White Labs Saison liquid yeast.
The majority of the brewing I've done over the years has been partial mash. It's a little cheaper than all extract, and gives me a little more control both in flavor and in color. It's super easy to do, and you don't need a ton of extra equipment. I use a 2 gallon beverage cooler as a mash tun and a stainless steal vegetable steamer as a filter. It's an incredibly simple, yet highly effective way of doing this.
Shown below are pictures of the cooler and vegetable steamer, the candied ginger and Saison yeast, and a shot of my immersion chiller in action, cooling the wort after the boil. I'd like to note, I simply don't dump the unused water down the drain. It can be used to water the garden, wash the car, or my most common use, I dump it into the washing machine when doing a load of laundry. The grains don't have to go to waste either. You can cook with them, making bread, pizza dough, granola, or dog treats, I compost small amounts like today, or on all grain brew days, I'll donate the grains to someone with livestock. It's great for chickens, peacocks, goats, and cattle.
One more week until I keg my Dark Cherry Stout, and 2 more weeks for today's Ginger Saison. Until than...Prost!

Gundulićeva 38,
10 000 Zagreb,
Croatia / Kroatien / Kroatie / Croazia / Hrvatska
Tel.+385 099 / 827 – 4847
Zagreb (Croatian pronunciation: [zǎːɡreb]; names in other languages) is the capital and the largest city of the Republic of Croatia. It is located in the northwest of the country, along the Sava river, at the southern slopes of the Medvednica mountain. Zagreb lies at an elevation of approximately 122 m (400 ft) above sea level. In the last official census of 2011 the population of the City of Zagreb was 790,017. The wider Zagreb metropolitan area includes the City of Zagreb and the separate Zagreb County bringing the total metropolitan area population up to 1,107,623. It is the only metropolitan area in Croatia with a population of over one million.
Zagreb is a city with a rich history dating from the Roman times to the present day. The oldest settlement in the urban area of the city is Andautonia, a Roman settlement in the place of today's Ščitarjevo. The name "Zagreb" is mentioned for the first time in 1094 at the founding of the Zagreb diocese of Kaptol, and Zagreb became a free royal town in 1242, whereas the origin of the name still remains a mystery in spite of several theories. In 1851 Zagreb had its first mayor, Janko Kamauf, and in 1945 it was made the capital of Croatia when the demographic boom and the urban sprawl made the city it's known nowadays.
The history of Zagreb dates as far back as 1094 A.D when the Hungarian King Ladislaus, returning from his campaign against Croatia, founded a diocese. Alongside the bishop's see, the canonical settlement Kaptol developed north of Zagreb Cathedral, as did the fortified settlement Gradec on the neighbouring hill; the border between the two being the Medveščak stream.
Today the latter is Zagreb's Upper Town (Gornji Grad) and is one of the best preserved urban nuclei in Croatia. Both settlements came under Tatar attack in 1242. As a sign of gratitude for offering him a safe haven from the Tatars the Croatian and Hungarian King Bela IV bestowed Gradec with a Golden Bull, which offered its citizens exemption from county rule and autonomy, as well as its own judicial system.
After the 1880 Zagreb earthquake, up to the 1914 outbreak of World War I, development flourished and the town received the characteristic layout which it has today. The first horse-drawn tram was used in 1891. The construction of the railway lines enabled the old suburbs to merge gradually into Donji Grad, characterised by a regular block pattern that prevails in Central European cities. This bustling core hosts many imposing buildings, monuments, and parks as well as a multitude of museums, theatres and cinemas. An electric power plant was built in 1907.
The climate of Zagreb is classified as an oceanic climate (Cfb in Köppen climate classification system), near the boundary of the humid continental climate. Zagreb has four separate seasons. Summers are warm, and winters are cold, without a discernible dry season. The average temperature in winter is −0.5 °C (31.1 °F) and the average temperature in summer is 22.0 °C (71.6 °F). Temperatures rise above 30 °C (86 °F) on an average 17 days each summer.
Snowfall is common in the winter months, from December to March, and rain and fog are common in autumn (October to December). Highest recorded temperature ever was 40.4 °C (104.7 °F) in July 1950, and lowest was −27.3 °C (−17.1 °F) in February 1956.

And so Tim offers a new film meme that he picked up.
Speaking of the convention, am I the last person to notice the Me-Me of meme? C'est la vie. (Kind of like Dr. Neil Tyson tweeting the other day, is he the last person to know that Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who.)
1. Movie you love with a passion.
Lawrence of Arabia. Lean produced an excellent visualization of T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom, capturing its scope and romanticism beautifully.
2. Movie you vow to never watch.
Monty Python's Life of Brian. My father asked me not to see it. He didn't ask much of me, so it was easy to comply. Then he died. Made it even easier to uphold the promise.
3. Movie that literally left you speechless.
Born Free. I saw it when I was very young, when it was first shown on TV. Maybe 1970? I cried and cried and couldn't speak.
4. Movie you always recommend.
Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers (and Four Musketeers). You don't have to be a Dumas fan to love Oliver Reed (Athos) Frank Finlay (Porthos) Richard Chamberlaine (Aramis) Michael York (D'Artagnan) Charleton Heston (Richelieu) and Faye Dunaway as Milady.
5. Actor/actress you always watch, no matter how crappy the movie.
Jeremy Brett. I stayed up to 4:00 am one night many years ago with the BFF watching Secret of Gull Island because Brett was in it.
6. Actor/actress you don't get the appeal for.
Roger Moore's James Bond
7. Actor/actress, living or dead, you'd love to meet.
Laurence Olivier. Egotist of the highest order, but he had a distinctive intellect about acting.
8. Sexiest actor/actress you've seen (with picture). Yes, both of them.
9. Dream cast.
Casablanca. Each part is exquisitely portrayed.
10. Favorite actor pairing.
Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. Notorious is the sexiest movie ever.
12. Favorite decade for movies
The 1930s. The white satin dressing gowns alone clench it.
13. Chick flick or action movie?
Chick flicks. Although my guilty pleasure film is 1994's action flick The Specialist, with Stallone, James Woods, Sharon Stone, and Rod Steiger. There's a lot of heat there and I love the plot.
14. Hero, villain or anti-hero?
All three: Severus Snape (Probably will change once HP&TDH part 2 fades from memory).
15. Black and white or color?
Black and white. The rough edges of life are so much softer and more beautiful in monochrome.
16. Favorite movie setting?
The French Riviera, To Catch a Thief.

Jones Scholarship
in this section
Michael W. '85 and Lauren Michele Jones Endowed Scholarship
Michael W. '85 and Lauren Michele Jones had considered making a commitment to establish an endowment at Cornell Engineering for several years.
Cornell Engineering was a complete game-changer for me. I literally had no idea what was ahead of me when I left Hampton, VA in 1981 and walked onto the Cornell campus for the very first time — in truth, I'm not sure I really understood the significance of Cornell on the world stage. As I reflect, the academic rigor of the chemical engineering program coupled with the commitment of playing varsity football was both the single greatest challenge and windfall of my life. When I graduated Cornell Engineering, I did so knowing I was well prepared for life and the road ahead. My career has been constantly fueled by the lessons learned in the classrooms of Olin Hall and on the field at Schoellkopf and driven by the intellectual curiosity instilled in a young engineer's mind to always ask 'why'. I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to attend such a great academic institution and contribute to the collective excellence that endures in the quality of students, professors and the Institution.
—Michael W. Jones '85
In late 2016, Michael and Lauren established an endowment for Cornell's College of Engineering to support students from Michael's home region of Tidewater, Virginia, an area that encompasses the coastal communities of Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg, Norfolk and Virginia Beach. It was important to focus on this area of Virginia because of Michael's family roots as well as his commitment to increase the affinity for the Big Red from the region. Moreover, it was important to Michael and Lauren that they enable any, and all qualified students to attend Cornell Engineering by eliminating the financial burden of attending Cornell Engineering. This is their way of giving back — to secure a student's ability to attend Cornell and join the next generation of engineers willing and able to change the world.
Michael W. Jones '85 graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Chemical Engineering and received an M.B.A. from New York University's Stern School of business in 1991. In between classes, labs, and work, Michael was a letterman and linebacker on Big Red's varsity football team. Lauren Michele Jones graduated from Columbia University with dual degrees, one in Economics and a second in Mechanical Engineering. Ms. Jones also has an M.B.A. from Harvard University. They met while working for Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., in New York City where they both had extensive and successful careers providing strategic insight to Aerospace, Defense and Industrial clients.
Mr. Jones retired from BAH after 23 years, as a Partner and Executive Vice President, after having had the opportunity to start and lead several successful strategy practices/ business units. He spent the last six years leading BAH's re-entry into the international market by launching and scaling the strategy and analytics businesses into both the Middle East & North Africa region as well as the South-East Asia region.
Today, Mr. Jones is Managing Director of MW Jones & Co. a strategy consulting, advanced analytics and investment company that creates shareholder value in the Aerospace, Defense and Industrials marketspace.
Michael and Lauren return to Cornell when they are not busy with work, family life and travel and always look forward to CU gatherings to reunite with close friends, whether at 5-year reunions or Big Red Football, Lacrosse and Hockey games.

When can I size down my corset?
In our Shaper Corset series we'll be giving you quick answers to some of the most common questions
we get regarding leater corsets, waist cinchers and corseting dresses here at Shaper Corset.
This week's burning question…."When can I size down my corset?" We know that all you waist trainers
and dieters out there really want to order the next size down in your corset. BUT doing it too early can be a
little disappointing when you get your new, smaller corset! Not to mention uncomfortable. Your corset should
full close before you consider a smaller size.
One other item to note. Even if your corset does close, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to size down.
If you aren't waist training (working toward a semi-permanent reduction of your waist), then feel free to stick with
your very comfortable, seasoned corset until you've worn holes in it…..and yes, that part was a JOKE, peoples!
(actually if you have one of our corsets that is so well-loved and worn that you have worn it out, we'd love to see it!)
So there you have it! As tempting as it is…don't size down too early, your body will thank you!
Let us know in the comments if there is a question you'd like to see us answer Shaper Corset!

While I sit, stand, lay here in this cell, exiled from American society and confined to 4 gruesome walls that were intentionally designed to break me all the way down, my heart beats furiously, yet proudly with resistance and I try to keep my mind open, heart open and eyes open, reaching out for truthful knowledge and for deeper understandings of self, love and life. I read, I study, I write, I contemplate and reflect, I hold discussions, I have conversations and try to engage others.
In these dungeons we are cut off from family, cut off from the world and cut off from a real education, but the people in here who linger, lurk and fester in these graveyards seem to love to learn all they can about their own history, culture, heritage and traditions, even though they're usually considered lower than dirt in the eyes and minds of society, they still carry their pride of who they are and they hang on to that very tightly. I really dig that.
There are definitely some powerful and dangerous minds lurking in some of these cells, people who have taken true means to let the shackles, chains, cuffs and restraints from their minds. I feel blessed to have been able to come in contact with people in this clandestine world who could be so intelligent, artistic and resourceful, even while confined to a cold, hateful, primitive place like this. It's because of these experiences and because of meeting these people that it feels good to be lower than dirt, it fee Is good to be so close to the earth. I appreciate the blessings and the lessons of being an exile.
While I write this, I'm on the second day of a 4-day fast with a native comrade of mine. He told me he was going to go on a fast tor a few days, to set things in order with himself and that he'd holler at me in a few days. I said, "Hey, wait a minute! I´ll do it with you." So, here I am on the second day of this fast, trying to stay strong and focused, no talking, no eating and no masturbating; and trying to keep negative thoughts out of my head. My native comrade Xemo has his reasons for going on his fast, which are mostly spiritual, and I have my reasons and objectives.
First, I wanted to show him solidarity, as he is someone I feel connected to in meaningful ways, so I wanted to encourage him to keep going and to get his mind right, heart right, soul right. Prison isn't the most positive or productive place, and we sit here amongst all this hate, madness, violence, gangsterisrn, materialism and corruption, it's hard not to get caught up in it, it's hard not to think like all those around you, it's hard to rise above it. So, I knew if I were to go on this fast with my native comrade, it would inspire and motivate him to hold strong. Secondly, I felt the need to do this for myself, to back up oft the door, take my mind away from this place and tune in to myself and mostly to challenge myself.
To me, fasting is an act of enduring pain and coming out of it stronger, it's an act of sacrifice. It calls for me to will myself to keep going under desperate situations, to keep fighting, to keep resisting, to keep holding on, to stay focused, to stay disciplined and to stay strong. Of course, there are deeper spiritual meanings attached to it. But 1'11 have to admit that this fast isn't really tor spiritual purposes tor me, other than sacrificing my food, conversation, urges and desires to will myself to endure and overcome anguish, pain and torment, and I'm doing this to prepare myself for tutu re hardships. Those are my reasons tor taking up this fast.
Xemo tells me stories, sings me songs in Crow, sings me songs in Lakota, sings me songs in Shoshone. He sings songs about the eagle, he sings songs about the bear, he sings songs about the determination of the wolf. He taught me how to sing a healing song and he taught me how to sing a unity song. He tells me something good about the coyote, he says a coyote can adapt to any situation, you can take a coyote out ot the Nevada desert and put the coyote in Africa and the coyote will find a way to survive. I will always remember that.
I believe we become stronger through our pain, we become wiser, with a clearer outlook on life, a keener insight, and more compassionate and understanding after overcoming, or enduring struggles and painful situations. I believe we need to be challenged by life, every now and again, and it's through these challenges that we grow (spiritually) and develop (mentally) and transform our thinking into higher states of consciousness.
It's about the mind, body and soul. It's about atonement. It's spiritual, mental and physical, it's not only about being a warrior, but it's about being alive. This is not my first fast, but I've learned a lot from Xemo, 'cuz he was kind enough to take the time to reach out to me and teach me things about his culture, which isn't much different from the Yaquis, Aztecs and Mayas, and I am very appreciative for my friend's time and kindness, and it felt good to hear him sing his songs, he sings from deep in his soul.
My appreciation of these gifts leads me to write this brief report on it and include it in this zine, to give people a small peak into the life and mind of an exile. We prisoners are exiles, because we've been exiled from life, exiled from society, exiled from real, human relationships, exiled from culture and traditions and customs and celebrations, but as long as we choose to keep the things that are most important to us in our hearts, then we are still thriving and surviving.
There's a difference between living and maintaining, people in prison aren't living, we're maintaining and some of us aren't even doing that. Times are hard in prison, this place can make your heart hard like cement and your soul cold like steel. This place breeds hate and anger. A lot of people are influenced by racism and prejudice ways of thinking. Some prisoners read and study their culture and history and use it as a tool to hate, hate and hate. They learn to hate other people and other races, 'cuz they're not like them. They don't understand the true lessons, ways, teachings and understandings of their ancestors. They don't understand that when you take things back to their roots and origins, you see that we all come from the same place, and in 50 many ways, we are all related. People who embrace the true understandings of their ancient cultures aren't haters, but have a trued appreciation and respect for their own culture, as well as others.
I see all this hate around here, and to me it's ignorance. It breaks my heart to see and experience all this madness every day. People who talk out of hate (in my opinion), usually speak with ignorance, people who talk out of love, usually speak with the intelligence of their hearts. If you're someone who claims to love your people 50 much, then they take true strides to do real things for your people, instead of using all that energy to hate on the next man, or the next race, just because he ain't like you.
I sit in my cell and do my fast, Xemo is in his cell, a few cells down from me, doing his fast. We are both locked down, but we are resourceful enough to find ways to communicate with each other and still keep people out of our business. I sit here in solitude, with no one or nothing to fear but myself and let these thoughts pour out of a heart that's been broken a thousand times, but comes back and beats stronger and stronger each time. I feel the pain in my stomach, but I keep going, I don't eat, I don't have the desire to eat, only the desire to keep going, and that's what I'm going to do, I can endure the pain, I'm a warrior, I am ready for whatever challenges that await me ...
From the depths of my restless heart,

Take two stars like Gable and MacDonald then add Spencer Tracy to the mix for creating the "first" disaster film about of the
San Francisco earthquake and you have a super 1930's movie. It is titled "San Francisco" and is one of MGM's best movies of 1936. It had seven Oscar nominations, and one win for sound
recording. The movie made $5 million
total, with over $2 million in profits. That's a blockbuster in star-power,
money-power, and quality. It had
lots of singing, a great love story, and action. I can't figure anything more a
movie "goer" of the period could want or need. This movie was before computerized effects, so they
had to make some of the sets that would shake, rattle, and roll just like an
earthquake. There was also a great ending in the original release that later releases unfortunately
omitted because management thought it dated the film. The movie will be shown
Thursday, September 14th in
Bigfork on the big screen of the by Jack Nachbar. It will
be accompanied by Jack's presentation providing a better understanding of the
film and the time period of the picture's release. Edge Center
The plot doesn't need much description except to say Clark Gable was the bad guy, Spencer Tracy is a priest (sound familiar), and MacDonald an aspiring and very talented young singer. There is a lot between the beginning and end of the film that you'll just have to come and see it to appreciate. It will be great to just see how much
could do with a "disaster film" and not have computer effects to help the
William Clark Gable (1901-1960) was a heart-breaker with the ladies on and off the sets of movies. But he did not like his leading lady in this film Jeanette MacDonald very much. Regardless, the film got made with great results and a few pranks by Gable at MacDonald's expense. And in fact, it was MacDonald that wanted Gable for the part in the first place.
Gable started his career in silent films as an extra and his good looks and "bad-guy" persona did him well in the "talkies." He had three Oscar nominations and won once for "It Happened One Night". He was a success on and off the stage. He is considered one of the most consistently good investments in films. Off stage he was loved by his fans and has the distinction of being the last star to play opposite Marilyn Monroe. In Quigley's publishing annual Top Ten Money Makers Poll he appeared 16 times and was named seventh-greatest male star of American Classic cinema by the American Film Institute.
Jeanette Anna Macdonald (1903-1965) was an American singer and actress who is best remembered for her musicals of the 1930's singing opposite the likes of Maurice Chevalier and Nelson Eddy. She stared in 29 feature films in the 30's and 40's and recorded numerous songs. Her films were nominated four times for best picture Oscars.
Nelson Eddy is most often thought of singing opposite Jeanette in movies, but was not available for "
San Francisco" so she
picked Gable as her choice for leading man in this disaster movie.
Jeanette is credited with introducing opera to the movies and was one of the most influential sopranos of her time inspiring a generation of singers in that era.
Spencer Bonaventure Tracy (1900-1967) was known for his natural style and versatility on the screen. He won two Oscars from a list of nine nominations. Spencer was a good friend of Clark Gable and enjoyed working with him His only problem with the work was that he never got equal billing with Gable. That eventually took its toll of their working together and ended the two appearing in films together.
Tracy acted in 75 films in his career and gained the respect of his peers for his performances. In 1999 the American Film Institute ranked
as the 9th greatest male star of Classic Hollywood Cinema.
The critics as well as audiences liked the results that MGM got in producing this movie. A reviewer of that period, Frank S. Nugent, writing for the New York Times titled his June 27, 1936 column: '
San Francisco' at the Capitol, Is a stirring Film of the Barbary Coast.
The review says, "Out of the gusty, brawling, catastrophic history of the
Barbary Coast early in the century,
Metro-Goldwin-Mayer has fashioned a prodigally generous and completely
satisfying photoplay. " San
Francisco" is less a single motion picture than
an anthology. During its two-hour course on the Capitol's screen it manages to
encompass most of the virtues of the operatic film, the romantic, the
biographical, the dramatic and the documentary. Astonishingly, it serves all of
them abundantly well, truly meriting commendation as a near-perfect
illustration of the cinema's inherent and acquired ability to absorb and digest
other art forms and convert them into its own sinews."
You can see this movie free of charge. An appropriate snack will be served courtesy of Jack and his wife/projectionist, Lynn. Place: The
the Arts, Bigfork. Date and time: Thursday September 14 at 6:30PM. It will be worth going to Bigfork, because Jack will
give you lots of background about the movie and a cartoon of the period will
give you some laughs. Edge Center

RP Sample:
(We prefer quality over quantity.)
Powers & Abilities:
Zanpakuto Spirit Description: Uchikudaka Kokoro (Shattered Mind) takes form as multiple different people, though its primary form is a kindly man who Ichirou could see as a much older version of himself. The other forms it takes are that of a middle aged man and woman, a young girl, and two boys who look slightly older than himself.
They're always dressed in dust-covered white clothing and they smell of fire. Only one of these people is present at once and Ichirou feels that it's likely his zanpakuto spirit is hiding its "true form".
The different forms come with different personalities. The old man sees Ichirou as a student and acts as some wise man who is bestowing knowledge upon him. The middle-aged man and woman don't speak to Ichirou, they only smile and touch his face. The little girl is usually more interested in playing in the flowers than talking to Ichirou. The two older boys both roughhouse with him, showing him a form of battle separate from the old man's more structured combat lessons.
Zanpakuto Name: Uchikudaka Kokoro (Shattered Mind)
Inner World: Uchikudaka Kokoro's inner world is a simple, idyllic place, a lush grass field full of constantly blooming flowers and trees. Ichirou has never been there while the Sun wasn't shining, it's almost an overwhelmingly positive place except for the fact that his shikai is constantly active on him whenever he goes there. For him, to be in his inner world is to suffer.
Sealed Appearance: Uchikudaka Kokoro is a simple sword with a 24 inch long steel blade, a golden circular guard, and crimson same. The zanpakuto is identical to the sword he used in Zaraki and has multiple cracks and chips along the blade.
Name: Uchikudaka Kokoro (Shattered Mind)
Shikai Release Phrase: Uchikudaka Kokoro's release phrase is "anata no shisha o maisou", or, "bury your dead".
Released Appearance: The shikai form of Uchikudaka Kokoro is a katana with a blade of silver and electric blue diamond design along the handle and a crimson pommel. The guard is golden and circular with an electric blue five-pointed cross inserted in it. The released form's appearance is very simple, most people don't realize that Ichirou wields a constant-release type until they've suffered until the effects of his illusions already.
Shikai Special Ability: With every slash that damages an enemy, Ichirou can force an illusion upon them.
Name: Migi shikou Kokoro (Right-thinking Mind)
Bankai Release Phrase: No release phrase needed.
Released Appearance: The reiatsu which created Uchikudaka Kokoro dissipates, leaving behind the sealed sword. This reiatsu instills itself into the area around Ichirou and his enemy.
Bankai Special Ability: In addition to a powered up version of the shikai technique, Ichirou can change the area surrounding him (20 foot radius) as he pleases. The environmental changes can do damage to the enemy and are not simple illusions.
(Max 12, you can add/unlock as you progress, but to be able to use technique, you must acquire it in-game)
Name: Mind Control
State: Shikai
Terms of Usage: Constantly activated.
Downside: (What is the downside to the technique)

Video Q&A – Why are Pre-Trip Inspections important?
Pre-Trip inspections are important ultimately #1 for the safety of the equipment when it's out in the workplace. We need to keep the public safe. We need to keep the operator safe. Equipment needs to be working in a safe and efficient manner. Also to prevent future downtime and wear items that might need more attention, grease, oil, etc. The pre-trip inspection is incredibly important for that; for the preventative maintenance part of things. Again, Safety is one of the primary concerns.

About Us
Sassy Pants® Activewear Boutique is a unique retail shop located in the College Park area of Orlando, Florida that features women's activewear, tennis wear, workout gear and accessories. What makes Sassy Pants® unique? According to Donna Anthony, its owner and creator, Sassy Pants® simply blends some very important elements into the shopping experience that are of interest to all women.
One important element and the first priority of Sassy Pants® is the commitment to helping women look and feel their best. Every woman, regardless of her age or station in life, wants to look and feel beautiful ALL the time. Most women have busy schedules and full lives and they tend to many other people and details in a single day. They don't always make time for themselves and when they are fortunate enough to carve out a part of their day for working out or enjoying some other type of active interest, there isn't always a lot of time to spend on getting pretty before they get busy with the errands or whatever the rest of their day demands. The solution is to wear clothing from Sassy Pants® Activewear Boutique before, during and after that workout or other activity. It is comfortable, functional for high performance, upscale, fun and stylish enough to wear almost everywhere. It is also by far the most flattering activewear money can buy.
A primary goal of Sassy Pants® is to encourage women to look and feel their best whether they are enhancing their lives through fitness or just filling their wardrobe with fashions that make them look like they work out!
Exactly how does Sassy Pants® achieve that goal?
All the activewear featured at Sassy Pants® is made from a special fabric called Supplex® and that fabric is what makes Sassy Pants® activewear different from the activewear found anywhere else in the area. Donna fell in love with the fabric and just had to find a way to make it available in the Orlando area. "This fabric is so amazingly comfortable and flattering. You just won't believe how slimming these pants are or how good they feel until you just try them on." The pants look so small on a hanger but they stretch to 500% and then return to their original size after each washing. Sassy Pants® has clothing to fit all body types from dress size 0 to 22. "The biggest challenge is simply getting women to understand that our activewear is not just for skinny girls" says Donna.

The effect of a concentration-dependent viscosity on
particle transport in a channel flow with porous walls. AIChE Journal . (Submitted)
We analyse the transport of a dilute suspension of particles through a channel with porous walls accounting for the concentration dependence of the viscosity. Two cases of leakage flow of fluid through the porous channel walls are studied: (i) constant flux, and (ii) dependent on the pressure drop across the wall. The effect of mixing the suspension first compared with point injection is examined by considering inlet concentration distributions of different widths. We find that a pessimal distribution width exists that maximizes the required hydrodynamic pressure for a constant fluid influx. We also show that the presence of an osmotic pressure may lead to fluid being sucked into the channel. We consider how the application of an external hydrodynamic pressure affects this observation and discuss the significance of our results for water filtration.

Peugeot 3008 perfect for freezing conditions
The Peugeot 3008 fitted with Peugeots innovative Grip Control is the perfect car to drive as the UK's big freeze continues
The Peugeot 3008 fitted with Peugeots innovative Grip Control is the perfect car to drive as the UK's big freeze continues. Grip Control consists of an intelligent traction control system and special Mud & Snow tyres. It automatically improves the vehicle's traction on difficult surfaces such as snow, mud, dirt tracks and wet grass.
Peugeot's Grip Control option also includes the standard fitment of 215/60 R16 Michelin Latitude Tour HP "Mud & Snow" tyres, which are suitable for off-road use. These tyres have special 'StabiliGrip' blades within the tread pattern that can lock together to maintain good tread contact with the driven terrain, whatever challenges it poses.
Since the Peugeot 3008 was launched it has been a great success, it has been awarded Crossover of the Year and Car of the Year 2010 and ten thousand sales have been recorded in the UK this year.

Many customers were frustrated with the amount of maintenance required for most pneumatic tube systems. For businesses in search of a better pneumatic tube system at a competitive price, Bavis has the solution.
As part of our dedication to continuing to provide better bank drive-thru equipment, we developed our Basic Pneumatic System (BPS) with several improvements to address typical tube system concerns:
o Solid state controls. Other systems have mechanical relays, which are prone to wear and failure. Since the BPS has solid state controls, there are no mechanical relays to wear out.
o Better valves. Most pneumatic systems have flopper valves that get dirty and leak, which leads to poor performance and stuck carriers. The BPS uses an entirely different type of valve that does not have mechanical flappers, which by design, adjust to wear and are self-cleaning.
o Easier maintenance. All service work can be performed from the front of the equipment.
What all these features lead to is greater up time, fewer stuck carriers, better customer service, higher teller efficiency and most importantly, happier customers for your institution. The BPS comes with a whole machine 1 year limited warranty.
If you want to do even better our Advanced Pneumatic System (APS), TransTrax®, and Autoveyor products provide even greater reliability backed by longer manufacturer's warranties.
We can end your frustration with drive-thru maintenance and down time. We have options to fit any budget. Give us a call!

March Outing
With March 13-15 forecast to be good nights for northern lights it could be a possible club outing. Obviously it would be later than normal and it falls on Sunday Monday Tuesday so some people might not be too keen on being out that late but it's an idea.

People have become so used to seeing big rigs, tractor trailer trucks, and 18 wheelers on the roads that it is easy to forget that they represent some of the most dangerous hazards on the roads today. We hope that after reading the following truck accident statistics, you will have a better understanding of the dangers that these vehicles present, and hopefully you will be better prepared to avoid unsafe situations.
The Trucking Industry
Nearly 70% of America's resources are transported by truck, accounting for almost $700 billion worth of goods per year. The sheer number of trucks required to be on the roads to accomplish this is staggering, and, unfortunately, that massive quantity of trucks creates a vast potential for danger. That is why it is so important to understand how, when, and where these accidents typically take place. This knowledge could not only save you from experiencing an accident, it could save your life.
Truck Accident Fatalities
The massive size of most trucks, including tractor trailer trucks and 18 wheelers, makes them much more likely than other vehicles to cause fatalities in an accident. According to the US Department of Transportation, there were 3,906 fatal accidents in 2013 that involved at least one truck. That's more than 10 deaths per day.
- 64% of fatal truck crashes occurred on rural roads, and 25% occurred on interstates
- 84% of fatal crashes occurred on weekdays
- 28% of fatal work zone crashes involved at least one truck
People Injured in Truck Accidents
More often than not, truck drivers walk away from accidents relatively unscathed while other drivers may suffer catastrophic injuries. In 2013, there were 3,906 fatal truck crashes in the US; however, just 691 truck drivers were killed. It is clear that the drivers and passengers in other vehicles are at the most risk when an accident with a truck occurs, and for that reason, it is vitally important that those drivers take the necessary steps to avoid such accidents.
Call us today so that we can help you get the compensation that you deserve.
Unfortunately, no matter how many precautions you take, you are still at risk of being involved in a catastrophic accident with a truck. If you or a loved one has been hurt in a truck crash, don't hesitate to call Cueria Law Firm, LLC, so that we can start working on getting you the recovery that you deserve.

Yesterday, we posted the story about Fred Willard - the incredibly gifted comedic actor - who was arrested last week for allegedly exposing himself in a LA adult theater. It was a hard story to do because I have a semi-personal relationship with Fred.
He was on the air with us a few years back when he was in town making a movie, and we ended up going to a Tiger Game. He was funny - and like a lot of comedians - very quiet. We talked about his role on "Fernwood Tonight" and his parts in the great Christopher Guest movies, "Waiting For Guffman" and "Best In Show". He even volunteered to come out to the Royal Oak Music Theater, during my "Comedy Night Out", and did 10 minutes of very funny stuff on stage. All in all, he seemed like a great guy, and, I'm sure he still is.
But regarding his arrest… as they say, "Everybody has to have a hobby".

18 Years Supporting 18,000 young Scots
Since 1997 The Outward Bound Trust has worked in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council (NLC) to raise the levels of confidence, aspiration and resilience of over 18,000 young people in the area.
Launched by the council with the aim of improving the prospects of young people, the social impact of the programme on North Lanarkshire schools has been significant. Eighteen years ago opportunities for underprivileged young people in the area were limited, with widespread apathy among many.
Working together with the council The Trust designed a residential programme for pupils in S4 (now S3) forming a vital link in the pupils' preparation for the workplace or further education. The target group was the "forgotten middle", those pupils identified as having unrealised potential, who need to move forward so they may find a way to do their best and improve their performance at school.
Every year in the winter months of November to January, all 23 secondary schools and 4 SEN Schools send 25% of these targeted pupils on a 5 day residential to the Trust's Loch Eil centre in the Scottish Highlands. With around 850 pupils per year participating, the numbers of young people that have benefitted to date are considerable.
The course gives participants an opportunity to meet new people and experience exciting new environments. Working as individuals and in groups the course is demanding, but highly satisfying for both the young people and their teachers. Participants leave with increased confidence and self-esteem, having also experienced a high level of adventure; hill-walking, rock climbing/scrambling and canoeing. Not to mention, the course enables participants to complete the Adventure & Challenge Award (credit rated on the SCQF Framework at Level 5) and the John Muir Award.
This nationally significant partnership between a Council and a third sector organisation is one we are justifiably proud of and one we place great financial commitment to. 55% of the necessary funds have been provided by NLC with Outward Bound® providing the remaining 45%, bringing over £1.5 million of third party funding to benefit the young people of North Lanarkshire.
To ensure the relevance of the programme in today's educational setting, the proposed new programme for the 2016/17 cohort is being designed to address two current key areas for Scotland; the Attainment Challenge and Developing Scotland's Young workforce. With both of these in mind the programme has even greater benefit to the young people of North Lanarkshire today.
As it was in 2012 the programme is now under consultation as part of NLC's budgetary review. A campaign is therefore underway to ensure that this programme continues to benefit the young people of North Lanarkshire and their local communities in the future.
We know that this programme has a hugely positive impact on the families, communities and individual participants involved, not just through formal research but anecdotal feedback too. So, if you have direct experience of this programme either as a participant, parent, teacher or otherwise please show your support before the end of November by contacting NLC here.
Martin Davidson, Scottish Director, The Outward Bound Trust

Since mid-1998, the number of DCs and chiropractic students participating in the poll has been within the 100-250 range. But the most recent survey question ("Do you use the word "subluxation" when explaining chiropractic to patients?") garnered 2,174 responses.
Had the 2,174 poll takers all been doctors of chiropractic, it would have represented nearly 3.5% of the profession, but several sources have indicated an effort by a few anti-chiropractic groups to encourage their members to visit ChiroPoll and tip the survey results. Many DCs and students on line were alerted to this happening via the "Hot Topics" online discussion forum (www.chiroweb.com./cgi-bin/forum/hot.cgi ) and via e-mail.
In the end, the profession kept pace with the detractors, keeping the results at 50%-50% despite the over 1,000 "Yes" votes required to do so. Interestingly enough, in the comments section of ChiroPoll, the "Yes" voters recorded 22 comments; the "No" voters made only three comments.
The current ChiroPoll question is also likely to generate some outside interest:
"Should doctors of chiropractic be reimbursed by third-party payors for 'correcting subluxations' only?"
This question will be featured on ChiroPoll October 4-18. The results will be reported in the November 15, 1999 issue of Dynamic Chiropractic.
The next ChiroPoll question will be the first of a two-part survey that will help Dynamic Chiropractic provide you better, quicker access to information:
"Do you read the printed version of Dynamic Chiropractic, or DC On Line?"
This question will be featured on ChiroPoll October 18 through November 1.

- Mon-Sat: 8am-5pm
- Sun: 9am-5pm
- Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch
This all-day café is as off-the-beaten path as you get on the London food scene, and so worth it. And don't let the line out the door stop you: The Aussie couple behind this spot don't take reservations and also happen to make one of the best breakfasts in town. In fact, so popular is M1lk that they had to double in size this year. Their brunch menu is tight and features delightfully laden dishes like The Sweet Maria, a sweetcorn fritter and halloumi extravaganza, or the equally popular Convict, an English muffin topped with sausage, bacon, egg, and hash browns. The coffee is pretty excellent, too. Dinner might be on the horizon as well: They've started to host a series of "lates" at the restaurant, recruiting chefs and cooks from near and far to come play.

St Georges Church is situated in the centre of Taormina, a renowned tourist location, and yet it is extremely peaceful. The lovely stone church has spectacular panoramic views from its lush green garden overlooking the Ionian Sea. It is situated very close to the bus station, the cable car (that transports you down to the coastal road and stunning bays), and all the main attractions.
The Church is situated in Via Luigi Pirandello 24, Taormina between the top cable car station and "Hotel Pensione Svizzera". The church is below street level but there is a banner on the wall indicating where we are and an attractive stone arch entrance. The nearest airport is Catania Fontanarossa Airport. A direct bus service takes you from the airport to Taormina. Direct bus services operate from Catania and Messina. If driving, take the A18 autostrada and exit at Taormina. See links for more travel information.

As Easy As Riding A Bike)
A Waste of Space
In London yesterday evening, I approached Parliament Square along the cycleway at Great George Street.
In front of me was perhaps the classic stereotypical scene shared by taxi drivers, and other people hostile to new cycling infrastructure in London (and other British towns and cities). A large expanse of empty tarmac loomed in front of me, contrasting starkly with the clogged road on the right. You might say the cycleway is 'causing' congestion and pollution, if you were so inclined.
In the distance – on the 'empty' tarmac – two cyclists (maybe three? who cares, really) are waiting at a red signal. On the right, frustrated drivers are needlessly spewing out fumes, and doubtless fuming themselves, at the waste of space on their left. Valuable space that – if it were used properly for important motor traffic, not for some silly hobby – would have sped them to their destination about half an hour ago.
Surely, a superficial observer might think, it would make a great deal of sense to 'free up' that tarmac, using it to move all those motor vehicles more efficiently. It's just obvious, surely? The cycling infrastructure is just a waste of space.
But of course things aren't that simple. How many people are actually waiting at the lights on bikes? It doesn't look like many, but it turns out that when you get close there are… five. All tucked together in a small amount of space.
How about that queue of cars and taxis? How many people are waiting there? Must be loads, surely?
Well, one of the taxis in the queue – the white one, three from the front – is carrying… nobody at all.
The taxi at the front of the queue, waiting to enter Parliament Square is also carrying… nobody at all.
A further quick survey of the queue revealed that the other four vehicles in the queue – a Range Rover behind this black taxi, a red taxi behind the white one, the Ford people carrier, and the small hatchback, are all only carrying… one person. (the red taxi has one one passenger). So that means that in my original photograph –
There are more people being moved somewhere on the cycleway (five), than on the road (four).

Il Libro di Messer Giovanni Boccaccio...chiamato Il Decameron...
[Ashendene Press]. Boccaccio, Giovanni.
Chelsea: Shelley House, [1913]-1920. Folio, xi, 360 pp. Printed notes in red or blue, initials by Graily Hewitt in red or blue, text in black Subiaco type. Full red morocco extra, covers panelled in gilt and blind, backstrip lettered in gilt, untrimmed as issued, a very handsome, suitably restrained binding by Donnelly (signed) in a worn and soiled protective pull-off box. Limited to 105 copies on Batchelor paper with bugle watermark. This is an underestimated Ashendene folio surely the equal of its companions though perhaps less cherished for being in Italian. Belle da Costa Greene (quoted by Franklin, p. 132) wrote: It is the finest piece of modern bookmaking and printing I have ever seen and Cockerell (per Franklin again) also noted: It is a truly magnificent volume & without a flaw. Franklin himself notes: A curiously neglected volume, excelling simply in design and colour. The printing for this volume began in October 1913 but was interrupted by World War I. The book was not completed until December 1920. Only 80 copies on paper were offered for sale and another 6 (of an intended ten) copies were printed on vellum. Hornby 29; Franklin p.239.
