About Folklore
Campus Folksong Club
Questions about folklore resources?
One of the best known explanations of folklore is found in Alan Dundes' brief essay, "What Is Folklore?" Dundes disputes the notion that "folk" should be automatically identified with peasant or rural groups, or with people from the past. He argues that contemporary urban people also have folklore and suggests that rather than dying out, folklore is constantly being created and recreated to suit new situations (Dundes, 1965: 2).
Dundes asserts that "folk" can refer to "any group of people whatsoever who share at least one common factor. It does not matter what the linking factor is-it could be a common occupation, language, or religion-but what is important is that a group...have some traditions that it calls its own" (Dundes, 1965: 2).
Rather than offering a definition of folklore, Dundes provides a list of various types of folklore to demonstrate the large range of the field of study. His list includes the expected subjects of folktales, legends, myths, ballads, festivals, folk dance and song, but also offers examples of folklore that may not be as obvious, such as children's counting out rhymes, food recipes, house, barn and fence types, latrinalia (informal writings in public restrooms), as well as the sounds traditionally used to call specific animals. Dundes stresses that his list is not exhaustive, but merely a sampling of the subjects that folklore scholarship can address, and which merit study for the insight that they provide into specific cultures (Dundes, 1965: 3).
Folklorists focus on the study of human creativity within specific cultural and social contexts, including how such expressions (i.e. stories, music, material culture and festivals) are linked to political, religious, ethnic, regional, and other forms of group identity.

|Gay man thrown off building by ISIS militants
(CNN) ISIS has executed 3,895 people, more than half of them civilians, since announcing the establishment of a "caliphate state" in June 2014, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Friday.
Of the 2,114 civilians killed, 78 were children and 116 were women, the SORH said in a press release. Civilians were killed by firing squad, beheaded, stoned, thrown off high buildings or burned, SOHR said.
The other people executed included fighters for the Syrian regime, militiamen loyal to the regime and rebel groups like al-Qaeda in Levant, SOHR said.
CNN could not independently verify the information from SOHR. Its website says SOHR is a nonprofit group not connected to any political body or nation.
ISIS even executed 422 of its own members for offenses such as trying to defect, spying for foreign counties and acts of "extremism" against Islam, such as ascribing divine characteristics to Islamic figures or another person, SOHR said.
|Reading out a death sentence minutes before it is carried out.
SOHR said people were killed for apostasy, cursing Allah, adultery, espionage, being a member of the national defense, contacting the Al-Nusra Front and homosexuality. A woman was killed for escaping from her husband.
Civilians were massacred in several places: 939 Arab Sunni civilians were killed in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor; 223 Kurdish civilians were killed in Kobani and the nearby village of Barkh Botan; and 46 were killed in the village of Al-Mab'oujeh.
During the period of December 29 to January 29, ISIS killed 188 people, including 113 civilians, the release said. Sixty-four were Syrian regime forces or militiamen loyal to the regime, the release said.
The extremist group announced the establishment of a "caliphate," an Islamic state stretching across the western and northern Iraq, in June 2014.
The leader of the caliphate is Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al Samarrai, more commonly known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
ISIS Executes 18 Civilians in Mosul, Iraq
ISIS has recently executed a number of civilians across its territories in Northern Iraq, including a young Kurdish man in Mosul for allegedly cooperating with Kurdish Peshmerga forces against the terrorist group.
ISIS militants executed a 17-years-old Kurdish man in a military base in their Northern Iraqi stronghold of Mosul.
Sources revealed that the victim was from the predominantly Shabak village of Bajrbog near Bashiq district, and he was abducted by ISIS some 20 days ago.
Since the northern province of Nineveh has fallen into the hands of ISIS in June 2014, the extremist group is conducting mass killings and arbitrary punishments against locals to spread fear in the area and, as a result, leave the civilians with no choice but obedience.
Elsewhere in Salahaddin province, nearly 17 youths received the death penalty by ISIS as they had killed an ISIS member, raised an Iraqi flag on a telecommunication tower in Shirqat district and cooperated with the Iraqi government against ISIS.
Local sources told to the Iraqi media that the insurgents hung the corpses from lamp posts after the executions.

Very difficult to get an emergency appointment. Does not remember information about the individual patient and asks the same questions about the person. Stated it was a slow growing cancer and turned out to be aggressive. So much to say but will just say very disappointed in the care of my family member. Did not order correct tests to determine growth of cancer. Very good at small talk but not giving information needed.

2013 has already been a fantastic year for kids and family
music. For the second year in a row, the folks behind the annual
"Fids and Kamily" Music Awards were kind enough to invite THE ROCK
FATHER to join them as one of 27 judges tasked with choosing what
will ultimately be cemented into history as the best family albums
of the year. While
the results are in, the year isn't over yet. There's still
plenty more great albums that still need to be covered.
I'm featuring five albums right here on Chicago Parent this week
that you should check out with your little ones. Among the five are
a trio of artists that were runners-up at Fids and Kamily, two of
which will be performing right here in the Windy City later this
week. Ready to rock?
Caspar Babypants -
"Baby Beatles!"
Who can blame The Beatles for the countless artists that have
chosen to cover them over the past 50 years. After all, when you're
arguably the most influential band of all time, others will
follow, and within those ranks will be some who choose to pay
rightful tribute. One of the latest is Chris Ballew, best-known as
the voice of The Presidents of the United States of America. Beyond
the world of "Lump," "Peaches," and the "Mach 5," Ballew has been
releasing family music under his Caspar
Babypants alter-ego since 2009. His latest offering is "Baby
Beatles!" - a collection of 20 classics originally performed
by the Fab Four, all re-worked into Ballew's whimsical, signature
style. The little ones will be singing along to the songs of Lennon
and McCartney in no-time at all. Available now on
Red Yarn - "The Deep
The debut album from Portland's Red Yarn (Andy Furgeson)
is one of this fall's true gems. After receiving a grant to remake
traditional American songs into songs about animals, Furgeson held
a community recording session to capture the voicesof more than 150
backing vocalists. The end result is an album of pure Americana,
peppered with songs that would not feel out of place if they were
to pop up locally on WXRT. But they're about rabbits, snakes, birds
and even "The Fox." "The Deep Woods" is also beautifully packaged
on CD, with photos depicting the puppets that help populate the
deep woods of Red Yarn's live show - a presentation of folk songs
and puppetry for families. Available now on
Secret Agent 23 Skidoo
Crew & Family Too! - "Live at the Orange Peel"
Set for release on Nov. 19, "Live at the Orange Peel" captures
one of my favorite kindie artists in a live setting, paired with Yo mama's
Big Fat Booty Band - a 10-piece funk outfit with crazy chops.
Secret Agent
23 Skidoo is in a league of his own as it is - premiere
purveyor of "Kid Hop" - but hearing his rock songs from his first
three albums alongside a full horn section? It's fantastic and
something that must be heard, absorbed, and appreciated. Legit
hip-hop for all-ages. Get the album direct from the artist via
Mister G - "ABC
On this bilingual collection of songs, Mister G (Ben
Gundersheimer) seamlessly blends English and Spanish for some
foot-stomping results. Interestingly, Mister G says that his
exploration of the Spanish language began along with his hope of
one day becoming a Major League Baseball player. While his career
path veered musical, he found himself further becoming immersed in
the language through his extensive touring in Latin America and
throughout the United States. My favorite cut here is "Ratones."
Available direct from the artist. Catch Mister G live
at Schubas
on Nov. 9.
Trout Fishing in America - "Rubber Baby Buggy
Don't let the old school title scare you off, "Rubber Baby Buggy
Bumpers" is the latest offering from four-time Grammy nominees Ezra
Idlet and Keith Grimwood - two guys that were doing "kindie" before
kindie was a thing. In fact, the duo behind Trout Fishing in America
have been rocking together as long as I've been alive (that's 37
years, should you be curious). Here we have a dozen new tracks,
including the recently appropriate "Boo!" (a new Halloween staple),
the southern fried "Zoo Wacky Zoo," and the bluesy "It's Not Mud,"
which scores bonus points for featuring an appearance from the
Sugar Free Allstars. Available now on
iTunes. Catch Trout Fishing in America at the
Old Town School of Folk Music on Nov. 10.

text: Home Databases Data Management True tales of invisible employees who make IT work Not everyone in IT is a VC-funded, app-building, social media superstar By Josh Fruhlinger, ITworld | Jun 27, 2014 Share All Slides SLIDEFEATURED PRODUCTS Hidden away No, like, really hidden away Strength in numbers The problem child A typical day in the shadows Fielding requests What if you weren't there? No respect If they can't see you, what will they believe? Passing the Turing test Holding it all together Invisible angels Just happy to help Loving the work for itself Share this Slideshow Direct link: NPR's Tom Ashbrook recently reported on the "invisible workers" who aren't flashy but keep the world running. Who are the invisibles of the IT world? Rather than compile a list of job titles, I posed the question on Twitter: are you an IT worker who feels invisible? Six respondents turned off their cloaking devices long enough to reply, though in true fashion some requested to be referred to by pseudonyms: Ben, who works at a hospital; JSM, who maintains mainframe-based code for a railroad; Jonathan Russell, who works for IBM; Charles McG, a master of SQL; Annabel, a tech support agent for a software company; and Justin Sabe, who works for a wireless ISP. These are their stories, made visible. Hidden away Many IT workers work in a physically separate part of their office than the internal customers they serve. "If I don't eat in the cafeteria, I'll probably never see a patient or doctor during the workday," says Ben, the hospital worker. "My main face-to-face meetings are others in the operations side (accounting, payroll, admissions, materials management). I definitely get contacted when things aren't working right, but other than that I feel invisible. And I'm okay with that." No, like, really hidden away Justin Sabe, who works for a small wireless ISP, sometimes literally vanishes over the course of his job. "Working for a small company means that you get to do a little bit of everything from configuring routers, spectral analysis, programing the back end of the billing system, and then drawing up the front end Web interface. Also there is much hands-on installation work: drilling holes and running wires in crawl spaces and drop ceilings and aiming wireless links." Strength in numbers Sometimes an IT worker can seem to vanish within a larger team. IBM's Jonathan Russell says, "I work in the division that makes management software that's designed to monitor the servers in the data center ... my role is that I'm a very small part of one of these products. Since data centers can be huge, these products tend to be huge. And since they're only sold to data administrators, they are a niche market. So the products tend to be huge undertakings, involving hundreds of people that all need to coordinate their efforts with each other." The problem child JSM, the railroad employee, felt invisible in one job because it wasn't "trendy" enough to catch his boss's full attention. "I worked on a Web system for about 10 years -- it was one of the first to come along, and was built on baling wire and spit because the information we needed wasn't available anywhere but the mainframe. I used my expertise to keep that system going. Well, that wasn't enough for the area director: her favorites were doing the sexy Web projects that got her attention, and meanwhile we just continued along, generating over $100 million in collected revenue per year -- but not pure Web, not sexy, so my boss had to fight every year to even get me a raise." A typical day in the shadows "My day consists of monitoring vital scripts and tinkering with them when they hang up or error out," says Ben, the hospital worker. "I also develop new scripts that departments request to make their lives easier and cut down on their data entry. I am also starting to get into writing reports so that the outpatient clinic part of the hospital knows how to be more effective in delivering the care the patients are using most." Monitoring and tinkering probably jump out at everyone in IT who feels invisible: what you do doesn't necessarily have a big final product, even if it's important. Fielding requests Many invisible IT workers deal with short-term tasks that are important but don't add up to a big project. "I start my day by checking to see which of dozens of input files failed, usually changed by the sender without notice," says Charles McG., "then make the changes to bring in the new format, hoping this format will last longer than a week. I check for anything taking too long, and if I'm lucky, find some queries I get to rewrite. Many of my emails say a report 'looks wrong,' and I get to canvass all of the data processes and tables to verify the data before the business user admits they just didn't like the numbers and were hoping they were mistaken." What if you weren't there? JSM sums up what invisible IT workers know well: invisibility is a feature, not a bug. "The thing is, we're like football linemen -- if we're doing our job, we're supposed to be invisible. Remember the Y2K scare, and how afterward everyone derided the 'media frenzy' over it? If it weren't for programmers like myself, who touched and tested thousands of lines of code up to 1/1/2000, it might have been a very different story. But no one sees that. Not even our bosses. But let something bad happen like it did two weeks ago when a disaster recovery test ended up corrupting live data and basically shut the network down for hours -- yeah, we get noticed. And not in a good way." No respect Maybe the lowest point for an IT worker comes when, as Justin Sabe describes it, "All my technical knowledge feels invisible." To him, this happens "when talking to someone who keeps fishing for validation that it wasn't their fault they didn't know there was a Wi-Fi off switch, or after the third time they mention that they are a student at the prestigious university and could not study online on a Friday night when they seemingly could not type in their username or password correctly." In such cases, the techie isn't seen as a human with skills, but just part of the machine that isn't working properly. If they can't see you, what will they believe? Indeed, the more invisible you are, the more customers and outsiders are able to make up their own story about you in their head. Annabel, a software tech support agent, got an unusual note on a successfully resolved tech support ticket recently that said that "our 'insistence' on using fake names was really distracting. They're not fake! Our tickets are signed with our honest-to-god real first names. We've been trying to figure out what set him off thinking that for the last week, and the current money is on the fact that my team has such WASP names that they seem manufactured." Passing the Turing test Customer perceptions can get a lot weirder than that, Annabel says. One of her co-workers is a "fantastic writer" of support tickets, "a master of our weird little craft." And what thanks does he get? "People would write back about how they didn't appreciate a robot answering their questions, and could a real human please look at them. Users: if we had AI technology that was so good that it could make reference to specific pictures in your account, we wouldn't be selling consumer software. People have a simultaneous real overestimation of AI technology and a real underestimation of the skill required to actually figure out what's happening in their account." Holding it all together It perhaps isn't a surprise that, for hospital worker Ben, the real-world stakes of his invisible job are quite high. "If I weren't here or I (and my backup) didn't do the job right, theoretically surgeries, nurse stations, or labs could run out of vital supplies, the hospital could run short of funds, employees couldn't be paid, lab results wouldn't get on electronic medical records etc." More proof that invisible workers are only invisible when they don't work. Invisible angels Sometimes the issues aren't life and death -- but can't thousands of tiny moments of averted frustration add up to something close? IBM's Jonathan Russell does his best. "As a result of my effort, the only thing an end user sees is a lack of downtime. If we set up the data centers correctly, then systems will automatically back up their settings and reroute themselves, and a customer gets a little peeved because an app or webpage loads slightly more slowly than they'd expect (because the backup might not happen instantaneously). They might be frustrated by this lag. But not as frustrated as they would be if they saw an error page saying the site went down for maintenance or that it just died." Just happy to help In the end, for Russell the knowledge that he's helping people who don't even know it carries its own satisfaction. "My job doesn't send a flashy, feel good message to the customer. It doesn't help them balance their budget or keep them entertained with cute cartoon animal graphics. The message it sends, in their moments of frustration or impatience, is simply 'Hey, this could be worse!'" Annabel, who does get to deal with customers, even though that's mediated through email anonymity, concurs: "Most of the people who do work in support really do want to help people, and are delighted when folks come away with their question answered." Loving the work for itself Many IT workers just enjoy the actual processes of their tasks -- a radical thought in an industry that can have a real focus on climbing the career ladder and building "disruptive" businesses. "I love SQL, and the satisfaction of seeing data combine into new and useful information," says Charles McG. Similarly, JSM says of his work on mainframe systems that "most of the people who knew this stuff inside and out are long gone, and there's next to no documentation left. You've got to have Batman's detective skills sometimes to figure stuff out. It's not an easy job -- but that's precisely why I enjoy it so much."

Inhabiting the oasis areas in the central desert on the borders with Ghana, Murabitin contribute toward the bulk of the Maghrebs armies - and ultimately take up the reigns of power from the Numidians. Their main settlement is the metropolis of Timbuctoo, although later on their history they establish the fortress cities of Marrakesh, Rabat and some others.

Northside High School has long been synonymous with consistent boys basketball success.
In the past 10 seasons, the boys program has reached the state quarterfinals nine times, the Top 28 five times and has two state championship game appearances, including winning the 2006 Class 4A crown.
"When you look up and see those banners it is humbling," junior guard Brandon Ellis said. "It is an honor to wear this uniform."
With two games remaining in the regular season, Northside finds itself fighting to keep that legacy alive. Northside is 13-14 overall heading into Tuesday's home District 5-4A game against Teurlings Catholic and was ranked No. 27 in last week's power rankings.
"Right now, our lives are on the line," first-year head coach Ross Rix said. "We are down but not dead yet."
A lack of experience and height could be attributed to the Vikings' up-and-down season. The team features only two seniors and has only a few players who earned any real experience on last year's state semifinalist squad. In addition, the team lacks height as only two players exceed the 6-foot-3 mark.
Despite those limitations, Northside started off the season winning nine of its first 12 games, including producing a six-game winning streak. The Vikings though would struggle once district play began by losing six of their first eight games.
"We got off to a good start," said Rix, who replaced Devan Clark, who left for Southern Lab in the summer. "We went out and beat some teams that people didn't think we could beat like Port Allen when they were still undefeated. But then we lost some close games come district. We are probably five or six possessions from being a Top 10 team."
How close? Northside has lost five district games by five points or less, including a 46-43 defeat to St. Thomas More in which they led in the fourth.
"I believe that it is a blessing," said Ellis who leads the team at 14 points per game. "When you go through adversity, it really shows your character. This will only help us this week and next year."
"Losses like that can be heartbreaking," junior guard Darius Randell said. "You work so hard and then to lose by one or two points is tough. But we just have to get back in the gym and work even harder. We have other games to play."
The strength of District 5-4A means there is a still good chance that Northside would still earn a playoff berth even if the Vikings fail to win their final two games. Northside ends the regular season on Friday at St. Thomas More.
Regardless of where the Vikings may land in a week, Rix is confident that his team will be a difficult opponent for whoever draws them.
"We will be a tough 28 or 29 seed," Rix said. "I can guarantee you that."

Buena Vista Deli Opening Second Location in North Miami
Buena Vista Deli's chocolate croissants are the stuff of dreams.

The team behind Buena Vista Deli plans to open a second location of the beloved French eatery this summer. It will be located in North Miami at 750 NE 125th St., in the historic, landmark plaza that's home to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). However, because the name "Buena Vista" is trademarked, co-owner Cory Finot says the new place will be called Café Crème, a name he and partner Claude Postel have trademarked.
"We don't want to change the

Finot says the café will partner with MOCA to throw events in the plaza they share. The museum hosts many parties, but there aren't many options for those who want to grab a bite before or after events. "The mayor and commissioner have been very supportive, and they want there to be more events on the plaza so people can come together," Finot says.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'The Vestibule' started by JayEmCee, Apr 16, 2013.
Its time for Veklorr to appear...
Oh man... i like having the first post on a new page LOL
Well I've contacted him in the past and found him fairly responsive.
like 3 known trolls got modded. the choices were a joke
so I just read this whole fucking thread. And there isn't even a reply from Veklorr yet.
signed for the lulz
Veklorr isn't really a troll lol
He kinda has his own lulzy way of posting on here, but he's older than most people on here and is a pretty cool dude. I have no issue with him being a mod
and I just wanna say again that this thread is fucking retarded lol
this is amazing
Signs Every time he posts I don't like when he makes the ...
Whiteboy, I wouldn't be surprised.
For some reason I have it in my head that you're doing... underwater welding. I don't know why that popped into my head, but that's what I imagine you doing when you're gone. You're an underwater welding specialist who goes to europe and shit to work.
I like to make up stories in my head for things I don't know about. This one's been in my head for months now.
DatHarrass is a terrible user and also a troll/moron. Should have been banned a long time ago. Veklorr most likely did the right thing.
I dont like using the automated warning pm. It seems cold and impersonal. I write my own.
Also...the vesti seems to be under a misconception that all the new mods are modding the vesti. Thats not the case. We were each assigned to different boards and have to stick to them unless told otherwise by a more senior mod, we see porn, or there is a riot. So those of you saying that there were 30-40 new vesti mods...nah, just nah
Write me one.
Lol god you guys care about the "going-ons" of this place way too much
I got a bullshit ban a few days ago, I blame him now.
Don't know him. Couldn't care less.
I will if you are reported or I catch you doing something that is worth a warning. I dont just hand them out like lollipops.
Pathetic thread is pathetic.
Cool! Ever since I became a mod, I've gotten so many mentions! Thanks, guys! ...
Perfect response.
No, you fucking idiot. It's because I have a girlfriend and a life, you fucking pleb.
the fuck is going on here
He was too busy faking being drunk.
Wait, he's a mod?
Damn, maybe I should have applied.
This image was never funny, you're not funny, the Raptors have their first game on National TV in 9 years because of bombings, and Jose Reyes is using the tissues you're about to wipe your tears with to wipe his one.
yeah u mad
You're handing out lollipops?
Warning PMs are a lot better than being banned. Basically, the warnings isn't a disservice to the user but it reminds them of what isn't allowed on the board and hopefully prevents any further violations. The automated system is a little too dry though and gives off the impression that the mod is being condescending (I write my own), but it isn't that a mod is trying to abuse their power or throw their weight around.
Also @Omnomnom26 is right. Not all of the new mods are Vesti mods...so that thought is a bit extreme.
Right, I don't see why people get defensive. They should realize that this is something to help prevent them from getting banned in the future.
@omnivus http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/o...ch-ones-have-i-done.452844224/#post-469718810
This thread is now a Like Farm.
Lol not atm. I only have one left and im enjoying it.
Someone give me the crib notes for this thread. I can't be bothered to read 5 pages of this shit.
Pfft. I thought you were one of the cool mods.
i love drama. yes yes yes
mods be mods.
users rightous and mad, tired of being held down by The Man.
OK...so business as usual. Well hope somebody gets banned.
Your icon is the girl from the evil dead movie, right? I didn't think anything of her in that movie but outside of it I'm in love.
The rest of this thread sucks and isn't worth commenting on.
A few other users and I were discussing how he has abused his power multiple times.
I'm going to need more details to even consider starting to care.

If you know what welder's flash is, you would definitely be aware of how painful it is. Welder's flash is a painful eye condition that is caused when the eyes are overexposed to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.
But just like most issues, this can be cured and prevented as well. If you are troubled with this issue, or want to prevent it from occurring in the first place, then there are a number of ingredients that can help you out!
Welders flash needs accurate care and treatment, since this ophthalmic condition is very painful. Other than medical aid, few home remedies can also cure this painful eye condition.
Want to know the list of top 10 home remedies that help you get rid of this tormenting Welders flash? Then read on!
How To Get Rid of Welders Eye?
1. Potato:
Potatoes make amazing home remedies for welders flash. They offer a cooling effect to the affected eye area. They reduce inflammation. Hence, the pain temporarily subsides. The eyes turn dry and itchy due to welders flash. Potatoes keep a check on the dryness aspect as well. They lubricate the eyes and prevent further itching and peeling of the eyelid area. Thus, raw potato pieces are amazing home remedies for welder's flash.
2. Ice Packs:
Welder's flash is accompanied with a lot of pain and inflammation. Ice packs make amazing home remedies for the reduction of inflammation and pain. Ice packs cut the pain sensation in and around the affected eye area. They also reduce redness and inflammation caused due to welders flash. Thus, ice packs are an instantaneous pain relieving home remedy for this visual syndrome.
3. Teabags:
Teabags are yet another wonderful and instantaneous pain relief option for welder's flash. Once a used teabag becomes sufficiently dry (most of the liquid dries) and cool, apply it on the affected eye region. Moist tea bags are amazing sources of antioxidants. Those antioxidants reduce inflammation almost immediately. They help in combating pain caused due to this problem.
4. Cucumber:
Cucumber slices are yet another home remedy for relieving the pain caused due to welders flash. Cucumber is an amazing cooling agent. It is extensively rich in water as well. Thus, it soothes the dry, itchy and painful skin around the eye and also hydrates it. It offers deep moisturization to the affected area as well.
5. Milk:
Milk makes a wonderful home remedy for welders flash. Boil milk and cool it down to room temperature. Dab cotton balls into it and apply directly on the affected eye region. Milk contains natural enzymes that can take care of the itching and dryness problems related to welders flash. You can also apply warm milk around the affected area. Try adding a few drops of warm milk inside your eyes. It lubricates the eyes and relieves pain to a certain extent.
6. Rose Water:
Rosewater offers the much-needed relief from pain caused due to welders flash. Soak cotton balls in rose water and place them over your eyes. Rose water works as a coolant and cuts the pain sensation to a large extent. The cooling sensation also reduces inflammation and itching.
7. Wet Cloth:
Using a wet cloth is also a temporary relief for welder's flash. This home remedy works best until the cloth remains moist. Dip a cloth (say towel) in cold water (say ice water) and place it over the affected area. The cooling effect offers immediate relief from pain caused due to welders flash.
8. Banana:
Banana slices are rich sources of vitamin B2. Vitamin B2 is an amazing vitamin that can heal eye fatigue and inflammation. It can also lubricate the eyelids and protect them against dryness and flaking. Thus, banana is an unconventional home remedy for welder's flash.
9. Nutmeg And Milk:
Mix nutmeg and milk to make a paste. This paste offers amazing cooling benefits when applied to the affected eye area. The cooling effect stays for long. Thus, it is an exceptional home remedy to reduce the inflammation and pain caused due to welders flash.
10. Almonds:
Almond paste or oil is an amazing home remedy for welder's flash. Almonds are rich sources of vitamin E. Vitamin E works as a lubricator for eyes. It also reduces eye fatigue and inflammation.
The above-listed home remedies for welders flash treatment offer immediate relief from pain and inflammation. However, this acute eye condition needs proper medical guidance for complete recovery. Therefore, never forget to consult a doctor in case of welders flash.

The long-awaited annual report on the 'Prospects for Agricultural Markets:...
The long-awaited annual report on the 'Prospects for Agricultural Markets: 2002-2009' was released on June 19th 2002. The report suggested that : world agricultural markets were expected to emerge from a prolonged down turn; EU consumption of cereals was expected to rise in response to lower prices; EU exports of cereals would experience a sustained increase; there would continue to be a structural imbalance in the EU rye market. However the prospects outlined did not take into account the impact of the US Farm Bill on world markets, although the report did acknowledge that the US Farm Bill would be likely to increase US production and exert a downward pressure on world-market prices particularly in the cereals sector. Comment: Despite Commissioner Fischler's assurances that this year's report would take into account the impact of the US Farm Bill this was only done in the form of an add-on commentary, and the effects of the US Farm Bill were not incorporated into the basic projections made.

Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) has realised that there is still quite a lot about the print industry that doesn't get due attention in the minds of the custodian of advertisers' money or media planners. To change the situation, the organisation has arranged a seminar on March 16 to bring to light various facets of the body with the media players.
Sharing more on the reason behind the initiative, ABC officials says, "For quite sometime we have been getting feelers that most media planners are depending more on readership, lifestyle and product linkage data than on circulation whilst preparing their media plans. A need was therefore felt that circulation data which is collected on the basis of a very rigorous process of checks and balances should also be used along with readership data. Certified circulation data in any geographics would be a key to fair estimates of RPC (Readers per copy) for various publications."
ABC also intends to familiarize media planners with the certified circulation data put out on the bureau's website. With this it hopes to encourage the media planning fraternity to give due weightage to the importance of certified circulation data while planning advertising campaigns.
The topics which are to be covered in the session include General overview & history of ABC, Bureau's broad audit guidelines, Rigorous process of circulation audit, Books and records of publisher members which are audited, Utility of ABC data and Circulation and Readership to co-exist.

On Sept. 16, The Advocate ran an article, "La. Public School Teacher Retirements Remain Up," positing that veterans of the profession have accelerated their exit rate due to dissatisfaction with the direction our state has taken on public education under the leadership of Gov. Bobby Jindal. At least that is what many school officials think, including Scott Richard, executive director of the Louisiana School Boards Association. Of course, there are alternative theories; however, Mr. Richard has hit upon some salient points.
Our state is certainly in upheaval as Jindal's opposition to Common Core clashes with state Superintendent of Education John White's support for the same. As their respective minions line up behind the two of them, this hotly divisive matter plays out in the media and in the legal system with lawsuits and countersuits, plus accusations of federalized curriculum from Jindal and disingenuousness from White. All the while, experienced, highly qualified teachers flee a system fraught with dizzying confusion framed in a perverse theater of grandstanding and infighting.
Yes, teachers are leaving — many of them because they no longer feel they are valued by an ungrateful system. Specifically, veterans have put in many years of hard work and personal sacrifice at gross underpayment because of their dedication to, for what many years, was a noble, rewarding and edifying profession.
However, in turn, they have been systematically unrewarded by Jindal, who successfully pushed through poisonous legislation that basically stripped away the protections of tenure and tied teacher evaluation to student performance.
Tenure, designed to keep our most prized professionals from being "at will" employees, was swept away with the governor's swish-broom of contempt for one of the last remaining bastions of unionized public employees.
Then, the added insult of tying teacher evaluation to the performance of students that they do not hand-pick constitutes the proverbial nail in the coffin.
Moreover, Common Core is not an "ingénue" of a concept. Effective and successful teachers have utilized many of its components for many, many years anyway. There is no need for formalization of what is common sense. The frailty of the implementation of Common Core is the flawed notion that all teachers should practice their craft and impart instruction in a highly ritualized manner.
Back to teacher defection: Our neighboring state of Mississippi showed its respect and regard for veteran teachers when on March 9, 2004, state Superintendent of Education Henry L. Johnson reached out to experienced and retired teachers with a plea to remain in or return to the active ranks.
Instead of creating apathy and driving away the teaching profession's most valuable assets — highly qualified, experienced veteran teachers — our state should be encouraging them just as Mississippi did. Replacing veterans with novices possessing questionable "new ideas" (read: Common Core) has been the main thrust of what has created our present crisis.

CARACAS, Venezuela – Police have arrested a suspect in the mysterious murder of a former Venezuelan intelligence chief with close ties to the late Hugo Chavez.
Eliezer Otaiza's body was dumped in a forested area on the edge of Caracas Saturday after his vehicle was intercepted by a group of armed men. He was shot four times.
No motive has been established for the crime but President Nicolas Maduro said late Tuesday that enemies of his socialist government may have been behind Otaiza's murder.
In a ceremony honoring Otaiza at the National Assembly he urged his supporters to stay on maximum alert, saying that some of the opponents who've been staging anti-government protests since February are committed to using violence to destabilize the country.
"There's no such thing as casual coincidences," Maduro told lawmakers and party leaders, many of whom vowed to avenge Otaiza's slaying. "Let's not forget the context of the last few months."
Interior Minister Manuel Rodriguez Torres gave few details about the investigation into Otaiza's murder, saying only that the arrested suspect, who he didn't name, had led police to identify the other alleged gunmen.
Otaiza was one of the most loyal supporters of Chavez's 21st century socialist revolution. As a young army officer, he backed Chavez's failed 1992 coup attempt and was responsible for his personal security guard when he was elected president in 1992.
He later served as national director of the country's intelligence service. In December, he was elected a city councilman in the downtown Caracas district that has long been a government stronghold.
Venezuela has one of the highest murder rates in the world and few killings are ever solved.
At Tuesday's ceremony, Maduro promoted Otaiza post-mortem to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

For Part One of this interview, click here.
OaklandClubhouse: What are your first impressions of Mike Sweeney since he has been in camp?
Farhan Zaidi: He's been great. From day one, he's kind of taken a leadership role. We have a really good group of guys, but between moving [Mark] Kotsay and [Jason] Kendall and [Nick] Swisher and [Dan] Haren, those were kind of the guys who were the leaders and the big personalities on our team. To have Mike come in and assume a leadership role without really stepping on anybody's toes or without anyone feeling like this guy has just got here has been great. He is just such a respected figure in the game that I don't think there was ever that kind of sentiment from the players. The coaches and the players are all raving about the positive influence that he has been having in the clubhouse.
Ultimately, none of that stuff means a whole lot if a guy can't be a productive player. So far he has done really well. He's hitting .400 so far this spring and he has made a lot of solid contact and he's had great [batting practice sessions]. As long as he is a productive player for us, all of the stuff that he brings to the clubhouse is an added bonus.
OC: If Daric Barton is completely healthy, do you see any scenario where he and Mike Sweeney and Dan Johnson can all make the Opening Day roster?
FZ: I think if you just kind of do the roster math, it seems highly unlikely. I actually think that the Japan trip – because it allows us to carry three extra players – gives us more time. We don't have to make a decision before then. Not only that, because Chad Gaudin is likely to start the season on the DL, we can wait even until April 12 until we have to add a fifth starter. So we have some time before we have to make a decision there, but I think in the long run, it will be hard to carry three guys who are essentially first basemen and don't really play other positions.
OC: Is Javier Herrera still being slowed by the hamstring problem?
FZ: I don't think he was 100 percent [in camp] and I think that not being able to work out the way he would have liked to affected his conditioning also. Between not being 100 percent with his hamstring and being a little bit behind with his conditioning, it didn't make sense to push the issue [and have him play] during big league camp.
OC: How did Landon Powell look? Is he progressing well with his rehab on his knee?
FZ: Yeah. It's definitely really encouraging. In Landon's case, having a second set-back like that can be really discouraging. It's hard enough to come back from an injury that serious once, and to have to go through all of that again can be tough mentally. There were definitely concerns about how he would handle it, but he handled it really well. When you talk to him, he understands that he is getting to an age where he really needs to start advancing his career. Obviously, it's no fault of his own that he is where he is right now, it's obviously been the injury situation. I don't want to say that it there a sense of urgency, because that would be too strong, but I think he is operating with a sense of purpose. He's 26 years old and he's right on the cusp of the big leagues and I think that kind of kept him motivated coming back from the second set-back.
He has been taking batting practice. One thing that has held him back a little bit is with baserunning. He wasn't really able to do baserunning drills, so that's why he wasn't able to get in any games. He has been catching bullpens and he will continue to do so in minor league camp. Hopefully by the time the season starts, he'll be able to catch a couple games a week and DH the rest. That is very encouraging considering that the injury happened in July last year. His conditioning is good. He looks like he looked last year, and we were obviously very happy with the conditioning that he had last year. I think we are all optimistic that we will see him in the big leagues at some point this year.
OC: Turning to the pitching staff, the new guys seem to be off to good starts. What have your first impressions been of Dana Eveland, Gio Gonzalez and Greg Smith?
FZ: Dana has shown us what we knew about him already. He has just a real quality mix of pitches. He's got all four pitches and when he is going well, he can throw any of them in any count. He has good life to his fastball and he gets a lot of groundballs. He's done a pretty nice job. He's had some baserunners – he's walked a couple of guys and he hit a batter the other day – but he's also done a nice job getting out of a couple of jams. If you look at his actual stat-line, it looks pretty respectable. So far his results have been solid. As he continues to get comfortable with his new organization and gets comfortable in big league camp, I think he'll start throwing more strikes and that will be even better for him. That's really all he has to do. When you have his quality stuff, you just have to pound the strike zone. I think he knows that. He has just been a little bit anxious in his first couple of outings.
Gio and Greg Smith, being non-roster, younger guys, what has really impressed me is just that. Both of those guys have really just pounded the 'zone. What you look for in young guys – and this has been true for our Rule 5 guy Fernando Hernandez as well – you just want them to come in throwing quality strikes. Spring Training is such a different environment between the different ballparks, balls getting lost in the sun and the thin air. You can only control so much as a pitcher, but you can control throwing strikes. That is what has impressed me most about both of those guys. Their stuff has been good.
Gio has been 90-92 with the fastball and he has thrown two different breaking balls, one that he throws when he is trying to throw a strike and another, harder one that he throws when he is going for a swing-and-miss. He's been great and he has been working in his change-up a little bit. We talked back in the off-season about his need to improve his change-up. It's fine when he throws it. I think he just needs to get into a frame of mind where he is comfortable throwing it and he is working on that. We are really excited about him. The coaching staff is really excited about him as well. He's another guy that I think no matter where he starts the year, I think we definitely envision getting a look at him at some point during the season.
Greg Smith, to me, has been one of the most impressive players in camp. From his first bullpen, you could tell that this is a guy who has a plan and is not throwing for the [speed] guns at all. It is easy to lump him in with a lot of the other finesse lefties that you see coming up through the minors and having a lot of success. Some of those guys are trick-pitch guys; some of those guys are just doing it with their savvy. But he's really a mix of all of those things. He can get it up to 90-91 when he wants to, but he is probably more comfortable working in the mid- to high-80s. That is when he can spot his fastball the best.
He's got a real quality breaking ball and a quality change-up and nothing is ever in the middle of the plate. I was talking with somebody the other day and I said that he has been throwing mostly in the mid- to high-80s, but there has really only been one hard hit ball through five innings [as of Monday], a double that Darryl Ward hit the other day. To me, that has been really impressive, his ability to keep guys off-balance. Again, he's not really a trick-pitch guy. He is doing it by mixing up his pitches and hitting his spots. He has really looked like a big league-ready starting pitcher. When we spoke over the winter, I said that this is a guy that I think we probably like better than some organizations out there. I think in Ken Rosenthal's latest piece, he had a little snippet saying that scouts think really highly of Greg Smith. Obviously, he is not on the roster yet. He's definitely a candidate to be the fifth starter, but it isn't something that will definitely happen at the start of the season. But we've gotten a really nice look at him so far.
OC: How about Henry Rodriguez? It sounds like he is throwing more quality strikes than he did earlier in his career.
FZ: He's a guy who has always had the stuff. The question every time he comes into the game is: 'is he going to throw strikes?' So far, every time he has come in, he has come in throwing strikes. I was actually just talking to some of our coaches down in the clubhouse. Henry actually hit 100 on the gun in his outing [on Sunday]. Guys are just commenting that if you throw that hard, location doesn't really matter, as long as it is a strike. Guys just literally don't have enough reaction time to put the bat where the ball is when you are throwing that hard. You saw it in the game. There were established big league players like Craig Counsell who were just trying to hang in there, taking really late swings and trying to cheat on the fastball to try to put it in play. He has been absolutely overpowering.
It has been kind of fun sitting in the scout section and hearing them talk about him because he wasn't really that well-known coming into this spring. It has been nice to be able to keep him around because that wasn't necessarily the plan. He is a 40-man roster guy and so the original thought was that he was a guy that we were hoping to get into maybe one game and then we would send him down to get stretched out in minor league camp. But his stuff is so good, as long as he is throwing strikes, we can keep him around and allow him to get that exposure to big league hitters and get more familiar with the big league coaching staff. I think that it has been great for him.
OC: Do you still see him as a starter or as a reliever?
FZ: Definitely a starter. Anytime a guy comes into a game throwing 98, the immediate thought is 'wow, this guy would make a great closer.' Ultimately, the most valuable pitchers in baseball are starting pitchers. As long as you think a guy can still fill that role – and we think Henry can – we are going to keep him in that role. There are starting pitchers who throw hard. Not to compare the players, but I think that it is a little bit the same situation that the Yankees are facing with Joba Chamberlain. He throws so hard, and they put him in that [relief] role and he had a lot of success and it is very tempting to leave a guy in that role. If you have a guy like that who you think has the stamina to throw 100 pitches and throw five, six, seven innings, that is really the most valuable thing you can get out of a pitcher is that length every five days.
So far in camp, Henry hasn't thrown a lot of change-ups – it has been mostly fastballs and breaking balls – but he is trying to mix those in. I think when he gets back to minor league camp, he is going to continue to work on the things that are going to make him a successful starting pitcher.
OC: How are you seeing the bullpen shaping up? Where do you see Keith Foulke slotting in?
FZ: Huston [Street] will definitely be our closer and [Alan] Embree and Keith are really the guys we see setting up for Huston, kind of like [Justin] Duchscherer and [Kiko] Calero were for us in the past. Kiko will obviously also be in that mix, health-permitting, which is somewhat of a question-mark. What we really like about the way that back-end of our bullpen is shaping up is that we have guys who throw strikes. Between Huston, Alan and Keith, those are all guys who come in the game and throw strikes. That's what you really want from the back-end of your bullpen.
The other nice thing about all three of those guys is that they can get out both righties and lefties. Over the last few years, Keith has actually been better against lefties as opposed to righties because of the change-up. It gives the manager a little more freedom, and that's what you want in the eighth and ninth inning: guys who can get both lefties and righties out and can give you a full inning. I definitely see those three guys at the back-end of the bullpen.
OC: Was the Foulke signing something that kind of came along because he was suddenly on the market, or was the team actively looking for a reliever when Foulke began throwing well in his showcases?
FZ: I think part of it was the organization, in particular Bob [Geren], has a relationship with him. That always makes it easier in situations like this when a guy is coming back from an injury or, in Keith's case, a retirement, and a guy is looking around for the right opportunity and it's not really about the money. I think that put us in an advantageous position. I think that, particularly this year, we wanted to think opportunistically and whenever we had a chance to add a guy we thought could help in any way, we wanted to take a good look at him. That put us in a frame of mind to sign Keith.
I also think that with moving Duke into the rotation and taking an important part of the bullpen out, that Keith will be a good asset because they are not dissimilar pitchers. In between moving Duke into the rotation and with Kiko's health a question-mark, we liked the idea of having another guy who has been a closer in the past and who has pitched big games throughout his career in the bullpen. We knew that we were going to have some young guys between Santiago Casilla, Andrew Brown and Fernando Hernandez – once we added him in the Rule 5 – and Jerry Blevins, and then later we ended up adding Joey Devine, so we have a mix of younger guys that we didn't necessarily want to throw into that eighth inning fire right away. So I think Keith made a lot of sense for us.
OC: How have Casilla, Brown, Blevins, Hernandez and Devine looked to you thus far?
FZ: They have all looked good. Our results for the most part this spring have been really good. Jerry gave up a couple of runs late in the game against the Mariners the other day, and Devine finally got on the mound the other day – he was battling some back spasms – and he was hitting 94, 95, so he had good stuff. They have all looked good.
With Casilla and Brown, I think it is all about throwing strikes and staying ahead of hitters because they both have very good fastballs and they both have put-away breaking balls. I think that as they get more comfortable in their roles, they'll continue to do that. Both of those guys went through stretches where they did really well and stretches where they struggled last season. In those stretches, they were falling behind guys consistently. I think getting ahead of guys will be something that comes with experience. So we are expecting them to continue to improve along those lines this year.
Fernando Hernandez has come in and done a very nice job. He has come in and thrown strikes. He's been 88-91 with the fastball, which is right where our reports said he was. He has a great mix of pitches. He has a quality breaking ball and a quality change-up. Just in terms of the pitch-mix, he actually has more of a starting pitcher's mix. Some of our pro scouts who saw him last year said that if this guy can get stretched out, it isn't out of the question that he could be a starting pitcher in the major leagues because of his mix. Being a Rule 5 guy, we see him as a part of that bullpen as a middle-inning guy, maybe give you a couple of innings. The luxury of being a strike-thrower like that is that if you are economical with your pitches, you can be that guy who gives a few innings out of the bullpen.
OC: What is the mood of the front office now that you have had a chance to see some of the guys that you acquired this off-season in action? Are you feeling pretty optimistic about the future of the team?
FZ: Definitely. You probably got this the last time that we talked, but we have been enthusiastic about it the entire time even before we showed up in camp. It's a different feeling when you get see these guys in the flesh and it feels good to see those guys perform well early on in camp. But I think the best part for us has been for the coaches to get a look at these guys and get excited about the direction of the team and to have the fans come out to our games and start putting faces to the names.
That was one of the reasons, I think, that we took such a PR hit early on in the off-season. The headlines weren't 'The A's Trade Nick Swisher For Gio Gonzalez, Fautino De Los Santos and Ryan Sweeney,' it was 'The A's Trade Swisher For Three Prospects.' Nobody knew who those guys were. Now you have our fans coming out to the games and they see Gio putting up zeros on the board or Sweeney make a great catch in right-field, those players start feeling real to people, to our coaches and our fans. So I think that there is definitely a very optimistic and upbeat feeling around here.
I think it has been nice to be recognized in a few places. Buster Olney [of ESPN] said the other day that Henry Rodriguez was considered the best prospect in the Cactus League right now. Ken Rosenthal, the other day in his piece, stated that we might be a surprise team and that scouts have been impressed with what they have seen with our young guys. Those things are gratifying. You don't make moves for them, but between hearing that kind of commentary and seeing the fans come out and cheer the performance of the team, it has really been a fun spring.
