Not that there is anything special about teachers: the problem also affects police officers, bank clerks, shop workers, journalists, or anyone who works with others. Bullying is causing thousands of workers severe trauma, making them lose sleep, fall ill, turn to alcohol and heavy smoking, even vomit just at the thought of work.
Andrea Adams has become an expert on bullying at work, ever since she compiled a BBC radio programme on the subject five years ago. As a journalist she was intrigued by reports that 50 staff at a bank branch in Wiltshire were being intimidated by their boss, leading to an awful atmosphere at work, and a high staff turnover. A vigilante group of staff's relatives laid in wait one evening at a multi-storey car park, but the manager was saved by being called away to a meeting. "Bullying often makes people feel murderous," says Ms Adams.
After the programme was broadcast, she was deluged by letters from workers relieved to learn they were not the only ones suffering. The programme also changed her life, leading her to write a book, Bullying At Work, to present follow-up programmes on radio and television, speak at personnel and union conferences, and advise companies on how to adopt effective policies against the bully.
Bullying may be carried out by an individual manager, often a person who has been subjected to bullying at work, or violence and intimidation in their childhood, who feels insecure. "I try not to use the word victim," says Ms Adams, "because it is often people who are strong and good at their job that it happens to."
The examples collected by Ms Adams and some unions present a clear picture of how bullies operate. They may be superficially charming, but once in post can change the working atmosphere in weeks. Those people recognised as any type of threat to the bully - because they are effective, intelligent, popular, different, young, ambitious or experienced - may be targeted through a campaign to undermine them.
Job responsibilities may be changed without consultation, allocating people tasks to which they are not suited, enabling the manager to criticise or discipline them. There may be a campaign of vindictiveness, by intercepting phone calls, changing desk and office arrangements, making a fuss over small mistakes, overruling decisions, and, above all, by verbal and physical intimidation.
Challenging the bully can be difficult. Often the bully is close to senior management, thereby cutting off routes to complaints, and ensuring that allegations are not taken seriously. Ms Adams says it is important to fight back. "It rarely happens to just one person, so get together and make a collective complaint - the personnel department will find scale difficult to dismiss. Keep evidence, stick to the facts, log it, date it, note your response and keep correspondence."
But bullying can be a conscious decision by management, originated not at junior but at board level. Intimidating someone to leave their job is cheaper than paying out redundancy settlements.
A few employers, though, are beginning to take the problem seriously. Kent Police has established its own policy, and bullies can be dealt with under the constabulary's disciplinary code. The Police Federation is pressing other forces to copy Kent's example, and Ms Adams is to address a fringe meeting at the federation's conference next month.
Littlewoods is another employer to take a lead, with its "Dignity at Work" policy, launched last September, recognising that staff do not perform at their best unless they are in a positive working environment. "It is a natural extension of our equal opportunities policy," says Melanie Theobald, a principal equal opportunities officer. "We are looking after the individual, based on the principles of fairness and equity."
While harassment is different from bullying - harassment is defined by Kent Police as troubling or annoying people, bullying as using coercion and persecution - Littlewoods says that its "Dignity at Work" gives all victimised staff a grievance procedure, not only those who can claim sexual or racial harassment.
But still the majority of employers fail to recognise the severity of the problem, or have effective policies to deal with it. "I have just done a very big survey," explains Ms Adams. "There were only six out of 31 companies in which there was good support and a complaints procedure. How you find out in advance how good a company is on this I don't know, but when interviewed you could ask for a copy of the policy. If it takes sexual and racial harassment seriously then this may give a clue."
An earlier BBC survey of 53 top British companies found none had a policy on bullying at work; yet 78 per cent of employees had witnessed bullying, and 51 per cent had experienced it.
The Manufacturing, Science and Finance Union, which is running a campaign against the workplace bully, says that only legislation will get to grips with the problem. Ms Adams, who is also calling for new laws, believes that employers may begin to change once more are penalised by industrial tribunals for failing to deal with bullying.
The tragedy, says Ms Adams, is when bullying is inflicted on people in their first jobs. "When it happens to young people they think it's normal workplace behaviour, and go on to do it to others." This can create a cycle of abuse that is impossible to break.

The Porsche 911 Turbo has a legacy of being a tough car to drive. With a ton of power set right over the rear wheels, its reputation is to lose control as soon as the driver stops concentrating. However, this isn't quite so true anymore. The modern ones are tamed through technology with things like hydraulically controlled engine mounts, not to mention all-wheel drive. In its latest video, Autocar tries to decide whether 25 years of progress really makes the turbo a better vehicle.

Hi guys,
I was writing a plant description for Tradescantia bracteata tonight
and was reflecting about Amber Hearn and how she introduced me to
this plant.
Thinking about integrating that into the description, I decided to
Google and see how she's doing.
I was amazed to see that there are charges being filed against her
and Jadare (her nursery after Whippoorwill Creek) for fraud. Has
anyone heard about her? I find it hard to believe; she seemed
very kind, generous, and knowledgeable.

Beautiful condo with a magnificent view!!!
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here! The condo is so beautiful, comfortable and so well maintained. We felt like we were at home soon as we arrived. Not to mention the gorgeous terrace and view to the water!! The entire property was very attractive looking and clean. We will definitely be staying here again!
Relaxing and beautiful
We thoroughly enjoyed our week long vacation at your beautiful condo at Lands End. It was so quiet and relaxing especially listening to the waves lapping the shore from both the living and bed rooms. The condo was furnished with all we needed to make our stay complete. The beach was our haven every morning and by late afternoon we were ready to relax at the pool. All in all, it was wonderful get-away.
Great time!
Our family of four enjoyed our stay a Land's End very much. The resort is clean, well landscaped and family friendly. The boardwalk is a feature that we took advantage of on our morning walks. The condo is very clean and well equipped. My son enjoyed fishing and bike riding while there. The location is convenient to shops and restaurants yet off the beaten path. We'll be back!
Paradise On Water
Love! Love! Love! We have stayed in many condos through VRBO, but this condo at Lands End by far was the best! When we first walked in the décor was beyond what the pictures even show and it is immaculate. I love how the owners have thought of everything such as the beach chairs, cooler for beach, and the fully equipped kitchen. The beautiful balcony was absolutely the best part of this condo. We would sit on the balcony and have our coffee in the morning and like clock work the dolphins show up between 7:00 and 8:30 am every morning and about the same time in the evening. The beach is just a short walk behind the condo and such a beautiful boardwalk around the property for the walkers. We would love our early morning runs on the beach! Highly recommend Island Action Adventures. We made a phone call to them and they dropped off kayaks right in front of the condos bayside and we kayaked for 4 hours in the bay and gulf side and when we were finished, they pick them back up. We will definitely be back and actually thinking of looking for our own piece of paradise in the area. If you would like to rent jet skis or a boat we also highly recommend Blind Pass Marina in front of Sea Hags. We rented a Sea Ray and received an awesome deal!

Building 5, unit 202 was awesome. The owners clearly want to make sure you feel like you are home. The kitchen has everything you need. The balcony is comfortable and was so nice watching the dolphins and manatees go by. Everything was easy from making our reservations to checking out. We came for our daughter's graduation and she will be living in the area so we will definitely be back!!
Lands End Paradise
This was truly a remarkable getaway. The view from the balcony was spectacular. We could listen to the waves crashing on the rocks and viewed dolphins a couple of times during our stay. The unit was exactly as pictured. Very clean with nice amenities. I would highly recommend Rumfish Grille in St Pete for dining.

Steve Bruce was formally introduced as the new manager of Sunderland last night and immediately dealt head on with "The Geordie Thing", the sizeable, if parochial, issue of his Newcastle roots and his well-known support for the team 12 miles from the Stadium of Light.
"I know what I was born and bred, and it would be wrong of me to say anything different," Bruce said. "But I'm here and I'm proud to be Sunderland manager."
There were other similar comments but that encapsulated Bruce's view and promisingly for the 48-year-old, there has been a largely positive reaction on Wearside to his appointment. Bruce said that anecdotally he had received the same over the past 24 hours. As he posed for photographs beside the statue of Bob Stokoe outside the stadium, a passer-by came up, wished him well and complained about "my dog's bloody arthritis". Bruce took that as a vote of confidence.
The reason Bruce was posing there was that Stokoe was a Geordie who played for Newcastle but who went on to become Sunderland's most celebrated post-war manager. "He became a local hero, let's hope he rubs off," Bruce said. Bruce cut short his holiday in Portugal to meet chairman Niall Quinn on Monday night and after further talks on Tuesday, a three-year contract was signed yesterday. He was away with his father and mother and he said his Newcastle-supporting father Joe's advice was: "Fill your boots, son."
That was the tone last night and it says something of Bruce's enthusiasm that he has already said he hopes that his stay on Wearside will be a long one. "After two years I hope Niall's knocking down the door to offer me an extension," he said. "This is what I always wanted, a big club, a big challenge, a club with huge ambition. All the bits are here, the training ground, the stadium, we have some good players here, I am so pleased to have been the No 1 target. What we need is a team to represent us, take us forward and I accept a poor pass or a loss of form but I always demand hard graft."
That was music to Quinn's ears. Along with Sunderland's fans the chairman has had to watch an expensive squad survive relegation by the skin of their teeth. "We have been brittle at times, what we want is a Sunderland team that is determined, tough, that represents the Steve Bruce philosophy," Quinn said.
Bruce now has owner Ellis Short's millions to use in the market and he said he will be able to "target players I've never been able to before." He thanked the Wigan owner Dave Whelan but there are likely to be approaches made to his former club for the likes of Lee Cattermole.
That hard-graft philosophy meant that Bruce recovered from being rejected by Sunderland in 1976. "I was devastated. I thought I was off to be a plumber in the shipyard. They're not there any more, so I'd be out of a job now."

President Barack Obama got ahead of himself and his advisers when he said that Syria using chemical weapons would cross a "red line," the New York Times reports.
"How can we attack another country unless it's in self-defense and with no Security Council resolution?" an unnamed Obama administration official tells the paper. "If he drops sarin on his own people, what's that got to do with us?"
But they concluded that drawing a firm line might deter Mr. Assad. In addition to secret messages relayed through Russia, Iran and other governments, they decided that the president would publicly address the matter.
Several officials said they recalled no discussion about the "red line" phrase but suspected that it came out of the election-year conversation about Iran and how far to allow its nuclear program to progress before being forced to take action. It was a concept that was "embedded in people's prefrontal cortex," one of the officials said.

The FIA has announced that from 2010 the WRC will use Super 2000-spec cars, instead of the current championship's Group N racers. As with the FIA's moves in F1 to standardize components in order to help teams save money, the S2000 cars all have third-party-supplied gearboxes and drivetrains, use 2.0-liter engines with 8,500 rpm rev limits, and are prohibited from being excessively modified
17Go Rally! - Citroen rolls out the C2-R2 Max
If your inner rally driver lusts for something different than the run of the mill Subaru or Mitsubishi, there's a tasty new Gallic morsel to spice things up. Citroen is taking their C2 to the FIA Junior World Rally Championship this year, and the C2-R2 Max Rally kit is their ticket to homologation. The kit keeps the price down, but doesn't skimp on serious pieces. The 1.6-liter engine belts out 190 horsepower, and there's larger brakes and a hydraulic steering rack to keep that power in check an

When MTV launched in August 1981, only a few thousand people in Northern New Jersey could actually watch it. In fact, to celebrate the occasion, its creators were forced to travel to a lonely Garden State bar to see their creation; no New York cable company would touch the channel that would soon change music history. Craig Marks and Rob Tannenbaum's I Want My MTV recounts the often-rocky first decade, revealing how the tiny network eventually fulfilled its "You'll never look at music the same way again" promise against all expectations. This ultimate insider's history of the video revolution draws on first-person accounts by major music artists including Madonna, The Police, Bon Jovi, and Eurythmics; MTV executives; VJs, and fans. (P.S. Co-author Marks is a veteran music magazine editor in chief and Tannenbaum has an enviable track record as a music journalist.)

You will receive one of the two covers. We cannot guarantee which one.
Remember the first time you saw Michael Jackson dance with zombies in "Thriller"? Diamond Dave karate kick with Van Halen in "Jump"? Tawny Kitaen turning cartwheels on a Jaguar to Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again"? The Beastie Boys spray beer in "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)"? Axl Rose step off the bus in "Welcome to the Jungle"?
Remember When All You Wanted Was Your MTV?
It was a pretty radical idea-a channel for teenagers, showing nothing but music videos. It was such a radical idea that almost no one thought it would actually succeed, much less become a force in the worlds of music, television, film, fashion, sports, and even politics. But it did work. MTV became more than anyone had ever imagined.
I Want My MTV tells the story of the first decade of MTV, the golden era when MTV's programming was all videos, all the time, and kids watched religiously to see their favorite bands, learn about new music, and have something to talk about at parties. From its start in 1981 with a small cache of videos by mostly unknown British new wave acts to the launch of the reality-television craze with The Real World in 1992, MTV grew into a tastemaker, a career maker, and a mammoth business.
Featuring interviews with nearly four hundred artists, directors, VJs, and television and music executives, I Want My MTV is a testament to the channel that changed popular culture forever.

"I Want My MTV is the definitively funny-yet loving-chronicle of music video's golden age: the hopes, the dreams, the drugs, the hair, the legacy of Tawny Kitaen. And for gossip, it's packed tighter than one of Heart's spandex bustiers." -Rob Sheffield, author of the national bestseller Love is a Mix Tape and Talking to Girls About Duran Duran

Makes it all seem so ridiculous and makes you want your MTV all over again.
Very interesting read though some of the stories are a little dry. It would have been nice to see more pictures. With each chapter, I find myself with a list of videos, songs, or interviews to revisit and spot those little details they mention. Overall, a very enjoyable read!
No doubt this was an informative and sometimes fun, gossipy read; but there were 8 pages of pictures for about 600 pages of words! I really would have liked to see more pictures of the artists, VJs, etc... Sometimes the stories got a little dull and I just skipped ahead to some of the good stuff.

Hi, I have a design question. Here is what we try to do for indexing: We designed an indexing tool to generate standard MeSH terms from medical citations, and then use Lucene to save the terms and citations for future search. The information we need to save are: a) the exact mesh terms (top 10) b) the score for each term so the codings are like ----------------------------------- for the top 10 MeSH Terms myField=Field.Keyword("mesh", mesh.toLowerCase()); myField.setBoost(score); doc.add(myFiled); end for ------------------------------------ as you could see we generate all the terms under named field "mesh". If I understand correctly, all the fields under the same name would eventually save into one field, with all the scores be normalized into filed boost. In this case, we wouldn't be able to save separate score, so the information is lost. Am I correct? Is there anyway we could change it? I understand Lucene is for keyword search, and what we try to do is Controlled Vocabulary search, Any other tool we could use? Thank you, Xin

if the last character of a text is a space character, it gets ignored by getCoputedTextLength()
Created attachment 231431 [details]
a simple SVG textbox.
open the file and click in the textbox, then enter a space followed by any character, see what happens with the text cursor while doing so.
Actually we just don't handle xml:space="preserve" so terminal spaces are compressed to nothing.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 319786 ***
no, its not the xml:space bug, as you can see if you enter one space, its still part of the string, if you enter one character after the space, the curser jumps two character forward, and the space is there, i think xml:space is just for collapsing or not collapsing multible spaces to just one space. its not general string normalization.
the xml:space is another bug with this textbox, but you can delete it from the file and the bug stays the same.
do you mind if i reopen the bug ?
oh, forget what i just posted,i just read up on xml:space , you are in fact right,
this is the same as the xml:space bug, sorry !

Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (NASDAQ: AAWW) is a cargo airline, passenger charter airline, and aircraft lessor based in Purchase, New York.[2] The airline was named after Atlas, a Titan in Greek mythology, who carried the heavens on his shoulders. Their symbol on the plane's tail is a golden man carrying a golden world. In 2015, Atlas Air had 2925 employees and operated to 426 destinations in 123 countries.[3]
The airline was founded in April 1992 by the late Pakistani American aerospace enthusiast Michael Chowdry, to specialize in the long-term contract outsourcing of its Boeing 747 aircraft based on the ACMI model. Under this new program, Atlas Air Cargo planes would be available to other airlines under long-term leases. It started operations in 1993 with one Boeing 747 contracted by China Airlines. In 1995, Atlas began trading publicly on NASDAQ and in 1997, appeared on the New York Stock Exchange. Also in 1997, Atlas placed an order for 10 new, more advanced Boeing 747-400 Freighters (Boeing 747-400F), increased to 12 in 1998. An initial public offering of 4 million shares was made in August 1998. In July 2004 the parent company completed its restructuring plan and emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[4]
In 2006, Amnesty International released a report on extraordinary rendition which found that Atlas Air was one of the airlines which was alleged to have be used by the US government for rendering detainees.[5]
In March 2010 Atlas Air was awarded a nine-year contract for the operation of the Boeing 747 Large Cargo Freighter (LCF) 'Dreamlifter' for transporting aircraft parts to Boeing from suppliers around the world. It commenced operation in September 2010 under a CMI (Crew, Maintenance and Insurance) contact.
In 2011, Atlas Air took the first North American delivery of the Boeing 747-8 Freighter (Boeing 747-8F).
In September 2012, Atlas Air renewed a training contract with the United States Air Force to continue to provide training for the pilots of Air Force One. The contract also provides training for the Presidential Airlift Group for a five-year period.[6]
January 2013, Atlas Air, among eleven others, were awarded part of a $694 million contract from US TRANSCOM. It is a 5-year indefinite delivery/quantity for international commercial air cargo transporters. To transport hazardous material and life and death cargo services for domestic and International ships.
July 2012, three contracts under the 'Theater Express II program', were awarded by US TRANSCOM. To provide air cargo pickup and delivery for U.S. Central Command. They will compete for individual orders over lifetime of the contract, with one year option periods. In total they will be competing for the $2.916 billion total over the next four years.[7]
On April 7, 2016, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings purchased Southern Air for $110 million in an all-cash deal.[5] The transaction included Worldwide Air Logistics Group, Inc. and its two operating subsidiaries, Southern Air, Inc. and Florida West International Airways, Inc.
On May 5, 2016, Amazon.com and Atlas Air announced a deal for Amazon.com to lease 20 Boeing 767s in order to fuel growth to their new Amazon Prime air freight service, branded as PrimeAir. The deal also warrants Amazon the ability to buy up to 30% stake in the company over the next 7 year. The deal agrees for Atlas Air Inc. to provide aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance that will last for 7 years.[8] This move comes after Amazon's similar deal with Air Transport International for 20 aircraft, also to be branded under PrimeAir.
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings is made up of Atlas Air, Inc., Polar Air Cargo., Southern Air Inc., Florida West International Airways, and Titan Aviation Holdings. Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings headquarters is in Purchase, New York. Atlas operates flights on an ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance) and Air Charter basis for some of the world's leading airlines, express operators, freight forwarders, charter brokers, global shippers and the U.S. Military, along with a dry-leasing freighter aircraft.
Atlas Air's crew bases are located at Miami International Airport, New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Chicago O'hare International Airport, Seattle Paine Field, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Anchorage International Airport, Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport, and Huntsville International Airport.[9]
Atlas Air operates globally, with destinations throughout North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Specific destinations vary due to changing customer's needs and seasonal trends.
The Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings fleet consists of the following aircraft:

Passenger service[edit]
In October 2009, Atlas Air was selected to operate an outsourced premium passenger private charter service for the U.S.-Africa Energy Association (USAEA). The Agreement to operate the charter was reached with SonAir—Serviço Aéreo, S.A. (SonAir), acting as agent for the USAEA. This new service replaced World Airways in May 2010, and Atlas operates the charter service with two newly customized Boeing 747-400 aircraft provided by SonAir's parent company. The aircraft are laid out to serve 189 passengers and consists of a 3 class configuration.
The charter service, which has become known as the "Houston Express", includes three dedicated weekly non-stop flights between Houston and Luanda, Angola. While it is not open to the public, it provides USAEA members with a premium non-stop transportation link to support complex long-term projects in the West African energy sector.[13]
The airline also charters service with a pair of 747-400s configured with 474 seats and a trio of 767-300ERs with 255 seats as of June 2012.
Dry leasing[edit]
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings also operates a dry leasing subsidiary called Titan Aviation Holdings, dry-leasing passenger and cargo aircraft to other airlines. Through Titan Aviation, Atlas Air currently owns 10 planes for dry-leasing to other operators - six Boeing 777 freighters, one Boeing 757 freighter (leased to parent Atlas Air), two Boeing 737-800 passenger aircraft (one stored), and one Boeing 737-300 freighter.[14]
Safety issues[edit]
During early 2010, an Atlas Air aircraft was involved in a safety and maintenance incident. In February, the cover of part of the flap assembly on a Boeing 747 detached from the aircraft, which was in the process of landing in Miami, Florida. On 17 May, a similar incident occurred; in this case, part of the inboard flaps on the right wing of a Boeing 747 separated from the aircraft. Due to alleged improper maintenance practices, the US Federal Aviation Administration on 5 May proposed a roughly $500,000 fine against the airline. The airline is fighting the allegations.[15]
In March 2016, a safety slide fell off of an Atlas Air 767 in the Mesa, Arizona area.[16]

The LOFTS apartments are situated on the beach road in Surin which is fast developing into one of the trendiest areas of Phuket. Overlooking the Kings Park, location of Phuket's first golf course, now a public park, these apartments put you on the front step of all that the area has to offer.
The apartments are accessed through a code panel lock with remote entry possible from the apartment for visitors.
The apartments are situated above Texas Steakhouse who have arguably the best steak in town and comfy lounge for taking a few sips and spinning a yarn or two, and enjoying the superb service from their staff.
Upon entering the home to the indoor living area, you are able to appreciate the spaciousness and sense of style that makes this one of the most attractive apartments in the area. The open plan living room/ kitchen is enhanced by the balcony overlooking the park to the beach beyond and is ideal for entertaining smaller groups or when the weather does not permit al fresco. The Master bedroom is situated on this level and has en suite bathroom. Both are separated by recessed frosted glass sliding doors.
The modern decor and state of the kitchen equipment enable you to live and entertain with style. Late afternoon post beach relaxation call for surroundings such as this. A full Siemens range; oven, ceramic hob, extractor, fridge allow you to create your own culinary feast which can be enjoyed more informally at the kitchen counter bar, dining table or on the terrace.
The Master bathroom is an indulgence with designer bath. A stainless steel bracketed glass wall provides the partition between the lavatory, shower and the main bath area.

Many studies engaged with acoustic ecology have focused on urban environments, motivated by increasing concerns about the sensory impoverishment related to the dominance of anthropogenic sound associated with traffic and other types of transport, machinery from industry or construction, alarm signals and other sounding activities, which often mask and interfere with our living environment. These anthropogenic sounds have tended to be linked to a lack of environmental quality, as they inhibit the perception of other natural sounds. The sounds of the wind, the water, the voicing of certain animals originating from natural landscapes often contrast with human sounds in urban landscapes. They often share the same physical characteristics as measured by volume, duration, frequency or tone, but are experienced by humans differently. Beauty is in the ear of the beholder, we could say.
Soundscapes are part of any ecosystem and a fundamental manifestation of life. Every individual and species contributes and responds differently to a given sonic context with its own perceptual mechanism and will use diverse communication strategies. Development processes and urbanization have directly influenced the environment, often in negative ways that eliminate or diminish unique sounds, causing loss of social identity and cultural diversity.
Processes that occur in a landscape create patterns of sounds that can be identified. In turn, the entire phenomenon that inhibits or prevents effective acoustic communication can have consequences for the survival of individuals, species and ultimately, entire ecosystems. As our natural soundscapes morph and shrink, threats of extinction increase.
The future of cities is often related to the idea of city as a living environment dependent on and enriched by technology. A city should be seen as a sustainable community, where living organisms coexist and interact with man-made technologies integrated in our everyday life. Landscape therefore reflects the way humans interact with their natural world while organizing space and time. In this sense, landscape ecology should be expanded conceptually and imaginatively to encompass all the possible dimensions of human relations with and within the environment, including its living components.
The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars, artists and theoreticians on soundscape art and ecology and encourage them to present new perspectives that will further interdisciplinary research and practice. We still know little about the complex relationships between landscapes and soundscapes or the significance of acoustic ecology for all living organisms including ourselves. Focused study and intentional stewardship of our sound heritage for the holistic evaluation of landscapes is fundamental to the evolution of all species, and will have a great impact on the survival of many. This will be a central topic to be discussed.
Hildegard Westerkamp is a composer, radio artist and sound ecologist. She presents soundscape workshops and lectures internationally, performs and writes.
Sam Auinger is a sonic thinker, composer and sound-artist, who collaborates with city planers and architects regularly. He works together with the composer Bruce Odland as O+A, exploring the central theme of hearing perspective. Auinger has received numerous prizes and awards for his work.
Juhani Pallasmaa was professor of architecture at Helsinki University of Technology, director of the Museum of Finnish Architecture, visiting professor at various architecture schools around the world, and author of numerous articles on cultural philosophy, environmental psychology and theory of architecture and art.
We are looking for works that reflect (but are not limited to) the following topics:
Please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words; selection will be made by double-blind peer review.
The international symposium Invisible Places is pleased to announce a call to artists from around the world who work with sound and field recordings for this unique residency program.

The residency offers accommodation for up to one month. Candidates will have to provide their own travel costs and food expenses.
The selection process may require videoconference meetings with candidates to discuss and define the details of their proposals. The projects will need to give Invisible Places authorization to document the working processes by audio and video for documentary purposes, assuming that it might be used later under Creative Commons licenses.

Rethinking the Rise and Fall of Apartheid
€ 38,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
November 2004
BeschreibungA major new text by a leading authority reassesses the nature, endurance and significance of apartheid in South Africa as well as the reasons for its dramatic collapse. Paying particular attention to the international dimension as well as the domestic, the author assesses the impact of anti-apartheid protest, of changing attitudes of Western governments to the apartheid regime and the evolution of South African government policies to the outside world.
Introduction: Apartheid's Global Significance
The Debate on the Nature of South Africa's Racial Policies: Totalitarian or Colonial?
Origins of Racial Policy: Consequence of an Imperialist War or the Prejudice of the Frontier?
Segregation: Home-grown or Imported?
The Theory and Practice of Apartheid: Was There a Blueprint?
South Africa in a Post-Colonial World: Modernising or Eroding Apartheid?
From Vorster to Botha: New Departure or Militarised Cul de Sac?
The Pursuit of a Negotiated Settlement: Choice or Necessity?
The Unexpected Transition to Majority Rule: Analysing a Miracle?
The Worldwide Anti-Apartheid Movement: Peripheral or Crucial?
Conclusion: Taking the Long View on Apartheid's Demise
Pressestimmen'Adrian Guelke has a considerable reputation for effectively challenging the conventional wisdom. This text amply confirms his analytical skills and - in particular - a willingness to take issue with more orthodox interpretations of South Africa's role in international politics.' - Professor J.E.Spence OBE, King's College London, UK
'[O]riginal and well-informed...The chapters work best where there is a conventional wisdom to be exploded, but Geulke also makes fresh sense out of a number of unusually contested issues, for example whether segregation was 'home-grown' or 'imported', whether there was or was not a 'blue-print' for apartheid, and whether the Botha presidency should be understood as a new departure or a 'militarized cul de sac'. - Anthony Butler, Political Studies Review
'His book is a significant contribution to our understanding of how profoundly global developments influenced in the past and are likely in the future to influence South Africa.' - Merle Lipton, International Affairs

Disclosure: This is post is part of Michael's #createtoeducate campaign and I received a gift card for my supplies. All opinions are mine.
Here's a cute little back to school gift that is completely applicable and useful for the classroom!
Americana Chalky Finish Paint
6″ Double-Sided Cardstock
Mason Jar
Bakers Twine
Cricut Explore
Step 1:
Paint the jar with the the Americana Chalky Finish paint and while it is drying we'll work on the flowers.
Step 2:
First, cut flowers out. I used a Cricut Explore and one of their 3D flowers. The hole is already in the middle and was the perfect size to fit over the eraser. I cut 5 layers that gradually get smaller from double sided cardstock. All 5 flowers fit perfectly on the 6″ cardstock, which was perfect! I love double sided cardstock because the colors always coordinate and you can get a different patterns without having to load and cut a ton of paper in the Cricut.
Once the flowers are cut, crumple them. This will give them dimension and texture.
See how they no longer lay flat and the petals go both up and down.
Then simply slide the petals over the eraser and arrange so that the edges alternate and you can see the scalloped edges.
Place flowers in the painted jar and tie up with baker's twine.

I want to post 10 ads a day on Craigslist in 10 separate cities in the "Baby+Kids" Section. I want to do this in the major metropolitan cities. Also 10 ads a day in 10 different cities on [url removed, login to view] in the "Baby Items" under strollers, carriers, car seats. Also in the bigger cities. The ad I will be posting will be like this... I also want to post a picture of the product.
Hi, I just got this gift code from my mother for a free car seat canopy. My sisters and I have used the code and it has worked for all of us. So, I thought I would pass it on to anyone that could use it. Just go to the carseatcanopy website and choose a product and when you check out use the code "cute4fun" and you will pay nothing for the product. Just thought I would share.
I would like to be able to put [url removed, login to view] but if I cant that is not a problem. I can come up with several ads that can rotate or if you are able to use the same ad that is great.
So, I would like to post 20 ads a day 10 to cl and 10 to [url removed, login to view] Monday thru Friday for two weeks. I will be tracking the sales that I make from the postings to see if it is something to do on a higher volume.
