Too "Close" for Comfort: "Let's be honest here. Hillary Clinton is Glenn Close in 'Fatal Attraction.' She's going to keep coming back, and they're not going to stop her," said National Public Radio political director Ken Rudin on the April 27 edition of CNN's Sunday Morning. Three days later, the director had decided that the comparison was "Close," but no cigar. "I wish I hadn't [said that]" he said. Somewhere, Reverend Jeremiah Wright is taking out a restraining order.
Double-Douchebagging It: Speaking of Wright, Fox News radio host John Gibson aired an audio clip of MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow asking, "What else has to happen in the news to push Jeremiah Wright out of the headlines?" After her audio, Gibson aired a clip of a man saying, "Oooh, lesbians. Yummy."
Apparently, making random lesbian references in a crass grab at an I'm-with-stupid audience felt so nice, he did it twice. Gibson went on to add, "Did I tell you about the people … on the island of Lesbos?" Saying the right thing at the right time…priceless. Saying the "Wright" thing at the "Wright" time, all the bleeping time … the mainstream media on the presidential primaries.

'CIA drones in Pakistan illegal, says UN.'
March 15, 2013
Ben Emmerson QC, the UN Special Rapporteur for Counter-Terrorism and Human Rights, has returned from a three day trip to Pakistan.
In a statement released today, Emmerson said that the Pakistani government had made it clear to him that they consider the CIA drone programme to be "counter-productive, contrary to international law, a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity, [and that] they should cease immediately".
While in Pakistan, Emmerson met with victims of drone strikes as well as government officials. In his statement today the Special Rapporteur emphasised the devastating effect of drones on the everyday life of entire communities in the North West of Pakistan, where the unmanned missiles constantly hover overhead. The Bureau for Investigative Journalism estimates that up to 3,577 people have been killed in drone strikes.
Commenting, Reprieve's Legal Director Kat Craig said: "The UN's statement today is an unequivocal warning that the CIA drones programme is not only completely unwanted by the Pakistani government but is irrefutably illegal. More worryingly, it is shredding apart the fabric of life in Pakistan, terrorising entire communities. The Special Rapporteur's job is to balance the need for counter-terrorism with the need to protect basic human rights – what he has revealed today is that this balance is far, far from being achieved. US drone strikes in Pakistan must stop and the international community must turn its attention to the plight of the most vulnerable people whose lives are being devastated by these killing machines."

I was looking through the blu-ray.com forums and saw that Oppo is halting new product development: https://www.oppodigital.com/farewell.aspx
This is disappointing news for those who prefer high-end home theater equipment.

It is pretty sad. I've been following the thread on AVS Forum since the announcement.
I've had an 83SE that's been really solid for years. I picked up a 203 when I read the news. I wasn't even planning to take the leap into UHD until next year. I'm still using an old 37" Panasonic LCD TV, though I'm looking to get a 65" OLED eventually.
The 203 has a handy HDMI input, so I'm finally able to get 5.1 audio out of my Amazon FireTV. My preamp (Outlaw 990) doesn't have HDMI, so I had to use toslink from my TV to get stereo-only sound from the FireTV.
I also tried to get a 205, but those sold out almost immediately. Oppo put up an email signup for notification of a final 205 production run. The associated text originally stated that they were "considering" a final run, but that changed to "will" after they got what I assume was a large number of signups. I'm hoping to get in on that run, but in the meantime I'll use the 203 for video and the 83SE for stereo listening.
Prices of units on eBay also shot up. Even the older models.valvehead//
Yep, that's a shame. Now we're stuck with that SONY and Panasonic doodoo. Or even worse, Samsung and LG. To get as good or better than Oppo, there are other high-end lines, but OMG are they pricey. I guess Denon would be the next choice downward, but not built all that well. But even they might falter now that quality is being lowered wholesale by crap like Netflix and other streamers.
There was a big modification industry that grew up around Oppo. Maybe they can eke out a living fixing up old ones. It looks like the ultimate legacy of digital video is that by popular demand it will end up looking worse than it did when they started.- My sister Ann's brother

Looking over the fence - part 1
But how different would things have been if the hedge were lower, and we could see and speak to the anonymous person the other side. Perhaps we could have struck up a friendship, or at least a greater understanding of one another. After we lived in the same street, shared a common hedge and were, after all, neighbours.
I use this as an introduction to the following 'conversation' which took place between two people, both Eastern Orthodox Christians.The one being interviewed is Hieromonk Deiniol, the sole native Welsh Orthodox priest, the founder of the Wales Orthodox Mission, and pastor of the Church of All Saints in the North Wales mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. He travelled with Road to Emmaus magazine in 2009 to ancient and little-known pre-schism shrines of the Welsh countryside. Along the way he talked with the interviewer of early Welsh Christianity, the effects of post-Reformation Calvinism, and the state of the Welsh Church today. It's an interesting insight into Christianity in Wales from an Orthodox perspective, as well as an opportunity to 'talk over the fence' with one of our brothers in Christ and get to know them a bit better.
RTE: father, how did a native Welshman end up as an Orthodox priest in Blaenau Ffestiniog?
Fr. Deiniol: I originate from Anglesey, an island off the coast of North Wales, and I became Orthodox at the age of twenty, when I was living and studying in London. I became a monk in 1977, and was ordained a priest in 1979 by Metropolitan Anthony of Sourouzh, who gave me the task of opening an Orthodox church in North Wales. At that time, the nearest church was in Liverpool, which was very far for people from north-west Wales. After ordination I moved a few miles from where I was living to Blaenau Ffestiniog, where I've been for twenty-six years.
RTE: And what can you tell us about this remote and beautiful town?
Fr. Deiniol: The town of Blaenau Ffestiniog is a depressed post-industrial town in the middle of the mountains. It was a very busy town while the slate industry flourished, one of three or four such areas in north Wales, and in the 19th century, it employed many thousands of people. Unlike the other slate-mining areas in north Wales, extraction of the slate in Blaenau Ffestiniog took place underground. In other locations it was above ground, or at least in open pits, but here the slate was mined beneath the earth, and the conditions were terrible. Mines were often full of dust from blasting the slate, and smoke from the explosives.
The men worked in the dark with candles on their helmets. They were answerable to the mine's steward and if they arrived at work a minute late they were sent home. They worked chained. A chain was fastened around their upper leg, and they were suspended from this chain, which was attached to a rod hammered into the slate face. In other countries, these working conditions are considered penal conditions, for example, in the old salt mines in Siberia. In the winter, the slate miners wouldn't see the light of day. They started work before dawn and finished after dark.
Nevertheless, there was a sort of vibrant cultural life in those mining towns, partly due to the fact that these miners didn't want bright young men to have to work in the same conditions. They would save money, for example, and gather pennies and subscriptions to send bright youngsters to the university. Many young men from that time owe a lot to their mining families and friends, who made sure that they didn't have to go into the mines. In fact, those miners paid to set up the University of Wales.
In just such a way they built their nonconformist chapels, of which at one time there were forty-two in our town which, at its height, had a population of 12,000. Having all of these sectarian chapels was characteristic of Welsh society at the time.
That was the formative period for Blaenau Ffestiniog, but we have to realize that because the town is located very high up in the mountains at the end of a valley, in the normal course of events, no one would have thought of building a town there. It came into being only because of the slate mining industry, and is built in the shape of an inverted horseshoe—so you can be on one side of the town and look across the valley to the other side.
In addition to valuing culture, many people, of course, also valued their religious heritage, but as in most other places in North Wales, this was a very Calvinistic form of Protestantism. In the South Wales valleys, where coal mining was the dominant industry, Calvinism didn't dominate in the same way. This is something we should return to when we analyze the logistics of what Orthodox mission involves in a post-Calvinist society.
RTE: When did the slate mining stop?
Fr. Deiniol: It hasn't stopped; it continues, but on a much-reduced scale. People sometimes compare the North Wales slate-mining areas with the South Wales coal-mining valleys. If you go to a place called Tylotrstown in the Small Rhondda Valley, you wonder where does Tylotrstown end and where does the next town, Ferndale, begin?
These villages run into each other in a row, whereas in North Wales slate-mining towns were quite separate communities, particularly Blaenau Ffestiniog, and there is a certain air of isolation here. Also, of course, after the decline of the industry, it became a post-industrial town, which means that this town, which produced an income of millions of pounds from which the local people never benefited, then became a place of unemployment.
We have all the characteristics of the postindustrial communities of north-east England that are one hundred times our size, and the Pennsylvania coal-mining areas in the States: high degrees of social exclusion, substance abuse, family breakup, the break-down of social cohesion.
So this is the town I live in, a very poor town, high levels of unemployment and many people with a sense of hopelessness. Nevertheless, they wouldn't think of turning to church, because the Calvinist legacy is a very negative one. I'm not saying that everything was bad about the chapels; the Nonconformist tradition produced a genuine Christian spirituality with a real love of Scripture, a real love of God, and very fine hymnography, but it had a shadow side, and this shadow side was Calvinism and its censoriousness, being very judgmental and placing people in categories. It wasn't known for its compassion for the frail and vulnerable, or for those whose lives took a negative turn.

To mark 41 years since the formation of the Jewish Book Council, we take a look at the sources we hold relating to the organisation in MS385.Similar to The National Book Council in promoting the cause of books, the Jewish Book Council was formed with the intention to "encourage the reading, help the readers, and to promote the cause, of Jewish books." The organisation wished to act as the common connection for all Jewish education, voluntary workers for Israel and Jewries of Europe, and Jewish youth clubs and societies.
The Council started in 1947 as a small group of people led by Dr George Webber, who was a Hebraist and lifelong book fanatic. At the time, there were few Jewish educational activities, and so Webber had the idea of forming an annual festival of lectures accompanied by a book display, which would be called Jewish Book Week. From its beginnings, Jewish Book Week was a community event, and held annually at Woburn House in central London. Various organisations were associated with it, such as the B'nai B'rith and the World Jewish Congress, which also arranged evening lectures as part of the event.
As a public event Jewish Book Week attracts members from across the whole Jewish community.
Aiming to "help and advise the Jewish reader", the activities of the Council in its early days included composing lists of books (mainly by Anglo-Jewish authors), which they believed should be available for reference or loan in every synagogue, Jewish Society or Club. Other activities of the Council included publishing supplementary lists, helping to arrange exhibitions of Jewish books, and discussing with Public Libraries extension of their collection of Jewish books.The main activity of the Jewish Book Council is organising Jewish Book Week, now an annual event in the Anglo-Jewish calendar. During the early years of the Council, this event involved a short series of evening talks on literary topics, and small amounts of books displayed and sold. Over time, Jewish Book Week has advanced and expanded, with more emphasis placed on the exhibition and sale of books, resulting in lectures and books having equal value in the annual event. A myriad of literary works are now displayed each year, with books from as far as America and Israel, as well as the United Kingdom. The lectures held as part of the Jewish Book Week have expanded over the years, with programmes arranged for the morning and afternoon, and for target audiences, such as children, women, senior citizens, and Ecumenists. Some of the outstanding lectures conducted at Book Week have included Professor Jonathan Frankel of the Hebrew University speaking about the Jews of Russia in 1981, and an event marking fifty years after the Anschluss in 1988, which included a performance of a string quartet by Joseph Horowitz, specially composed to mark the event, and talks by George Clare and Richard Grunberger.
The exhibitions at Jewish Book Week have also developed over time with a trade day provided for publishers, booksellers, and librarians. Jewish Book Week has become such a big event in the Jewish community, that Jewish publishers time the release of books of Jewish interest to fall on the dates of the event.Over the years, the Jewish Book Council has built up its activities to cater for children, forming a school programme. Every Jewish primary school in the London areas has been invited to send its top class to Jewish Book Week. In doing this the Council have recognised the long-term need of helping schools arranged their own book events so that all children can participate. To encourage further involvement, the Council also organise a nationwide poetry competition, under the patronage of the Chief Rabbi. The Jewish Book Council used to receive most of its funding and all of its administrative assistance from the Jewish Memorial Council (JMC). Other organisations that provided small contributions included the Association of Jewish Refugees, Federation of Women Zionists, and the World Jewish Congress.
In 1979, the Council experienced financial difficulties and was almost forced to close down. Determined to keep the Council going, chairman of the Council at the time, Joe Lehter, helped make the executive decision for the organisation to operate on a voluntary and independent basis. Following this change, many people have served on the executive committee and have worked tirelessly to keep the event going and make it prosper. In recent years the Council has come to a sponsorship arrangement with the Jewish Chronicle.Jewish Book Week has expanded over the years outside its traditional venue in central London – many small communities in London have been encouraged to run their own book fairs based on the Jewish Book Week format and there have been events in Cambridge, Manchester, and Glasgow. Today Jewish Book Week takes place at the Royal National Hotel in Bedford Way, a much larger venue than their previous venue Woburn House. The event is the second oldest literary festival in the UK, and administers the Risa Domb-Porjes Prize for Hebrew-English translation.
The Jewish Book Council collection that we hold mainly contains material relating to Jewish Book week, 1952-2004, together with papers relating to the formation of the trust and charitable status, council minutes, 1974-87, correspondence, reports and accounts.
Here is a quote from a letter written from Motzoei Shabbat Vayikra to Dr Geo J. Webber, founder of the Jewish Book Council, 15 March 1975 [MS 385 A4040 2/1] :
"A magnificent book week. Lectures good, attendances excellent and to me, more important than all else sales of £1, 220 worth of books which means that more people will have more books to take home and who knows – read. In addition I have been invited to set up book-selling units in the J.F.S. and at Carmel College. Also perhaps bookstalls at Jewish Youth Clubs… In all events at no time between 9.50 am and 10.30pm was there less than six or seven people looking at the books… Some people returned three and four times."

Tennessee tourism: $2 billion spent in Sevier in 2017, $1.1 billion in Knox
Dolly Parton explains her part in creating Dollywood's new Wildwood Grove Knoxville News Sentinel
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — State officials say a record-setting $20.8 billion was spent on tourism in Tennessee last year, a 6.3 percent increase from 2016.
Gov. Bill Haslam revealed Tuesday that Tennessee brought in $1.8 billion in state and local tax revenue from tourism, a 7.6 percent increase from 2016. That increase is higher than the 4.6 percent national growth of travel-related state tax revenues.

Almost ten years ago, when I was working at Pfizer, I wrote a position paper for a W3C Workshop on Semantic Web in Life Sciences. In that paper, I pointed out several vexing problems then faced by pharmaceutical researchers that I thought could be alleviated by use of a powerful knowledge architecture such as that enabled by Semantic Web technologies. Among these problems were those you might classify as knowledge management problems, and they had much to do with effectively sharing information throughout a large research organization where specialized vocabularies and varied purposes can easily get in the way.
Other problems I described were just good, old-fashioned informatics problems, in particular the creation of so-called "data silos." Data silos are created when data are put into databases or documents in their own unique format, a bespoke schema for example, such that they are not interoperable with any other data. Data silos are destructive to a knowledge-based organization because they prevent the synthesis of disparate information necessary to gain useful insight into data. Data silos kill productivity and innovation, because they limit the kinds of questions researchers can ask of their data and are typically difficult to modify or expand (which means you're probably not going to get very much help any time soon). Data silos happen because by now we don't even think about what container we're going to put our data in; it just reflexively goes into a relational database or a document. And so we almost never think ahead to consider how we'll represent the knowledge so that we can actually put it to use along with other data.
Semantic Web technologies, including RDF(s) graphs, Linked Data, and SPARQL, provide a standard, uniform way to model data and capture their semantics, so they can really help with the problems described in that position paper.
But only if they get used.
The interesting thing about that position paper (and here I hasten to remind you that it was written a decade ago) is that I'm pretty sure I could submit it as-is today, and it would be just as correct as it was when I originally wrote it. Every single one of the problems described in that paper is still being experienced today by life sciences researchers in every substantial research organization. Except now there's a lot more data, so those problems are even worse.
At that Workshop I showed a sort of tongue-in-cheek slide illustrating the current state of knowledge management in large life sciences research organizations. It looked like this:
Yeah, I'd still show that, too.
So, nothing has really changed in ten years. How can that be? These problems are serious, and the goals of life sciences research are simply too important to let anything stand in the way.
Did you ever hear that Albert Einstein said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?" Well, it turns out he probably never said that. (I know, I thought he did, too!) Nonetheless, I think he gets the credit because it's such a smart way to look at it. Now, here's the kicker: over the last ten years, the way we've been using computers to help us solve research problems basically hasn't changed a bit. To put it another way, we keep putting our data into relational databases or documents like we've always done, and hoping this time it's going to be different.
Well, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it isn't. And you just built yourself yet another data silo, didn't you?
I'll tell you what Albert Einstein did say: "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
Part of what makes the life sciences so endlessly fascinating, so fun, is the sheer amount and variety of information, and how all those bits of information are related to each other. We owe it to ourselves to learn how to work with those data, so that we can understand what it all means and make a difference in the lives of the people who need our help. New things are scary, but think of what we could accomplish if we're brave enough to put our energy into the data, not just into the containers for the data. Einstein would be proud.

From the rugged looks of the IWC Pilot's Watch to the iconic dial of the Portugieser, IWC Replica has a watch to suit every taste. Below, we've profiled some of the brand's most popular models, from sports watches to dress and heritage models.
Aquatimer Replica
IWC first showed the world the Aquatimer at the 1967 Basel Watch Fair, impressing customers and critics alike with a stylish sports watch capable of descending more than 200 meters below the ocean's surface.
Since its launch, the IWC Replica Watches Aquatimer has been redesigned and refined over time. Notable Aquatimer models include the Ocean 2000 & 500 — two civilian watches based on IWC's early 80s military watches, which were constructed in titanium for mine clearance divers and military frogmen.
Ingenieur Replica
Inspired by a diver's helmet, legendary Swiss Replica Watch designer Gérald Genta decided that the functional parts of a watch — the screws and bores that allowed it to operate — didn't need to hide inside its case or out of sight.
The result was the Ingenieur SL — an innovative watch that went on sale in 1976, inspired by the antimagnetic IWC Ingenieur of the 1950s. In 2005, IWC Charming Fake Watches relaunched the Ingenieur, mixing the raw engineering of Genta's 1970s Ingenieur SL with the sleek style of the original.
Portofino Replica
From the simple and elegant Portofino Automatic to the eye-catching Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher, the Portofino is one of IWC Functional Copy Watches most impressive dress watches. Understated and stylish but not short of presence, the Portofino blends vintage looks with modern technology.
Pilot's Replica
IWC launched its first pilot's watch — the Special Pilot's Watch — in 1936. Designed to assist in recording take-off times, the first Pilot's Watch was such a success that it spawned a successor four years later in the form of the Big Pilot's Watch 52.
Today, IWC Pilot's Replica Watch range includes a variety of stylish tool watches from 36 to 46mm in diameter. The Pilot's Watch Chronograph mixes the tool watch styling of the original IWC Pilot's Watch with a 79320-calibre chronograph movement and day and date complications.

A test strip is part of darkroom photography, the good old fashioned kind with open chemicals and safelights and manual enlargers. When you are making a print, you set it all up in focus etc, and then you put a little strip of the light sensitive paper underneath the enlarger. You flash it with 4 or 5 seconds of light, covering most of it with a piece of cardboard; then you move the cardboard over and expose more of it and then again and again. So at the end your test strip has several different exposure times on its length, then you can see what time is best to expose the full picture. The paper is fairly expensive and you dont want to waste it.

One ritual of the Passover seder is when Daddy, or whoever else is running the show, hides one of the pieces of matzo he or she was using in the discussion of matzo. Then the kid(s) run all over the house looking for it, and get prizes when they find it.
Some years, King Noach has a new book for his daughter Shulamit, or a pair of earrings. This year he's going to give her something very special–her mother's jewelry, with bright green stones like the new growth on a plant. But she doesn't know that yet. She just knows that she FOUND IT!
(Character by Shira Glassman; drawing by Mina V.; inked/colored by Jane Dominguez. Read about Shulamit's adventures in The Second Mango, available from Prizm Books and Amazon Kindle as eBooks, and in print pre-ordered from Wild Iris Books. )

What happens when a can't-miss, sure-fire, hit-making band releases an album that simply doesn't deliver? As an example, let's use The Rolling Stones (who just so happen to be my favorite group of all time... again, "all time"?) a band with a rich catalog containing over 20+ albums, the majority of which reached platinum or multi-platinum status. Obviously and deservedly they are regarded as one of the most important bands of the latter half of the 20th century, The Stones simply put rock 'n' roll on its back and made all the right steps along the way.
Let's just say by some freak accident, The Stones released an album without any resonating quality to it, with resonance being measured by record sales, critical acclaim and fan fervor. Immediate tangible effects would correlate to fan and critical disappointment leading to unspectacular record sales, ultimately affecting the bottom line. If this occurrence is repeated, beyond the immediate loss of revenue, the band would suddenly find themselves waging an uphill battle to prove their worth to their fan base. They may also be forced into a position where they are ability to build upon their past successes. Without saying, The Stones, having attained the status of rock gods, could easily take a hit like this -- but could a brand?
If we replace the band with an already established brand, and replace the record release with a campaign launch, what happens when the campaign is off the mark? Immediate results would affect the bottom line sales -- and, if repeated, damage brand equity through ineffective messaging.
Specific to my point, and building upon my last posts regarding branded Webisodic content -- as with anything else, proper planning and execution is key to success.
Doing something new just to be novel can be a brave exploration, but charting new territories must be done carefully. Branded Webisodic content must be treated with its own strategy and have its own set of considerations. Let's use the SEM world as an example. There are a plethora of dos and don'ts when marketers set up their search strategy: relevant keywords, optimized sites and splash pages, bid strategies, and many more tactical considerations that must be met and identified to ensure a successful search campaign.
Now let's switch back to branded Webisodic entertainment, and look at some of the guidelines marketers need to take into consideration.
Alignment is the key to any brand's success in this arena. Matching brands and their products to the core essence and arc of a show is necessary. As responsible stewards of their respective brands, marketers must be aware of, and cautious about what content will and will not fit their image and target. Thus the importance of matching proper content to a brand's message.
The content must be entertaining. Whether it's informational in nature, or intended to provoke emotion, content needs to engage the audience. The real value to branded digital content is its ability to act as an immersive engagement tool. By capturing the attention of the audience, brands are able to tell a story over the course of the series, thus creating a relationship among the audience, the show, and the brand.
Matching the right eyeballs with the right content is just as tantamount. Content needs to be seeded to the correct outlets. This helps to get it virally spread across the digital marketplace. A multichannel distribution strategy taking into consideration possible portal placement, online video aggregators, widgets and Web applications is necessary to create the reach and frequency needed to engage the audience.
In conclusion, brands must take precautionary steps when creating their digital content strategy. Alignment, entertainment, and a sound distribution strategy are the three pillars to having a branded show more like the Hampden Park Stadium show in Glasgow 2006 -- and less like the Altamont Speedway Free Festival. If these guidelines are considered, one safeguards against mishandling a branded Webisodic campaign.
So, just like The Stones, a brand better make the right music, for the right audience, and play the music where people want to hear it.

Pretty excited on Friday afternoon. But not for the usual 'here's the weekend' reason. The Back to Bearsics charity calendars arrived from the printer! I know, if I was so excited, why did it take me until today to post this? Simply too engrossed in projects at THE GALLERY. I have an extra hour this morning as daylight savings time has ended but my body didn't get the memo. Enough of the BS though, what's with the calendar?
This is my fifth charity calendar and it's title is Back to Bearsics. A collection of black and white images of, you guessed it, bears. Grizzly bears (and Ice Grizzlies), polar bears, Kermode bears and even a few black bears. All profits from the sale of the calendar will be donated to charities and/or worthwhile causes. I will try to post the recipients over the course of the year and you can look for this information in the calendar section of this blog here.
The calendars are selling for $20 again (seems like an easy amount) although printing costs did go up a little ($1.00 per calendar) and I now have to factor in GST (almost $1.00 per calendar) which is calculated into the $20.00. The calendars will be available at several locations around Edson (and maybe a few spots further afield) and from Jayne or myself directly.
I hope you enjoy the images in the calendar and thank you (if you bought one) for your support. Here's the cover…

I have agreed to coach a junior soccer team, or should I say football? I just sent team members a survey about previous playing positions, parental help etc. and asked if they were setting up a Facebook page. Then it occurred to me that:
- They may not have home Internet access (can I assume Internet access yet?)
- They may not all be Age 13, so I can hardly condone "breaking the law" by using Facebook – although I suspect regardless of age they all have FB accounts
- They will probably set up a FB page anyway, if they choose to.
Personally I have no real interest in the web presence as such, but I need a fast, reliable and easy way of contacting them all at once, and maybe their parents. Email might do, but I suspect they won't be checking their email regularly. Text? I guess I will just need to discuss the options available with them. Perhaps just email parents and students and rely on someone posting an FB message. One thing is for sure, I won't be using the same technique my coach did when I was a junior – ring a land line.

Common sense tips on strengthening relationships (in marriage and in friendship)
Relationships need to be nurtured. Often, we take for granted that relationship is like a beautiful flower. If left unattended, it will wither and die. We often admire its beauty but fail to realise that the beauty needs to be be maintained if it has to remain to be admired.
There are simple things that we take for granted, simple words that we say or fail to say that can either nurture or starve relationships. When you care about someone, you need to pay attention to what you to that person and how it is said. The deeper someone cares about you the more significant is the impact of the spoken words.
Some simple (two and three letter) words and how much they can mean when said with sincerity.
Commitment: "I love you"
These three words are very powerful. When you love someone, do not hesitate to tell them that you love them. In fact, do not be afraid to tell the world! There are no words so uplifting as these words when spoken to someone who really cares about you. It is a reaffirmation of commitment to that person. It can only lead to stronger bonds and deeper commitment in a relationship. Say them as often as you can.
Caring: "I am sorry"
There are times when you may hurt someone who loves you without you comprehending why they should feel hurt. It is very important to observe how that person reacts to the incident, bearing in mind that it is not what happened that is important, but the way the person reacted to it; the way the person feels about it. If you realise that the person is hurt, even though you may feel that it is unjustified, it is important to acknowledge the hurt and say the magic words - "I am sorry". Letting someone know that you genuinely care about how they feel about something is a very positive thing in strengthening relationships. Do not be shy or reluctant to say that you're truly sorry. The benefits far outweigh the negative consequences. Say them whenever necessary.
Appreciation: "Thank you"
These two words are very powerful in expressing your appreciation of someone who cares about you. Whenever someone gives, no matter how small, remember that that person is making a sacrifice. When people make sacrifices they expect to be rewarded. The best reward is to appreciate their effort. So, never forget to say thank you no matter how small the effort may seem in your eyes.

You could buy an ounce of silver for $48.70 in early 2011. The price may seem exorbitant now - with silver at about $16 or $17. However, with silver climbing every day, the notion of silver more than doubling its price and hitting new highs doesn't sound so silly anymor

On 30th November, Hurun Education released its Top International Schools in China 2017 report, which ranks the best 100 international schools in China. This is the first time such a list has been created, and despite its relatively recent foundation, Wellington College International Shanghai has already established itself as one of the best schools in the country.
According to the ratings, Wellington is the top British-curriculum international school in Shanghai. Overall the College was ranked as the 5th best international school in Shanghai and 8th best nationwide.
Hurun's results were drawn from the nominations and index rankings of 110 international education experts, leading to the establishment of the Top 100 schools list from the 152 schools across 23 mainland China cities that received nominations from the experts.
Given the short history of Wellington College International Shanghai, we are hugely proud and pleased to have received such a high ranking in so short a space of time. This accolade represents the drive, determination and talent of all staff, pupils and parents who are all working together with the aim of making Wellington the best international school in China.

The distributed control of spacecraft flying in formation has been shown to have advantages over conventional single spacecraft systems. These include scalability, flexibility and robustness to failures. This paper considers the real problem of actuator saturation and shows how bound control laws can be developed that allow pattern formation and reconfigurability in a formation of spacecraft using bifurcating potential fields. In addition the stability of the system is ensured mathematically through dynamical systems theory.

The market just "knows" how to shake people out, scare them, condition them.
One of these is the Bronto Thrash, the slam the tape, ramp up and down, make big quick scary moves that catch people off guard and put them on guard (being too cautious before a bigger more happens)
Curious that the few stocks/option I have in play are doing this quite well. When this pattern is placed in a move up, it is usually not a continuation pattern (not more up), but a sign of get ready for big down.
EXPIRY this is expiry Friday, triple witching they say, although they seem pretty witchy.
One of the most predicatable things about the market....EXPIRY week, big move Monday, and Tuesday,
Wed can be mild or a big move, by Thursday the battle is mostly over with a few skirmishes, and the same for Friday with stocks moving around their "Pins" price points that maximize profits to the big banks/brokers (Min Pain), and maximizes options going to option heaven held by the retail gambler waiting for the big win to brag about at their coming weekend BAR-BEE-QUE.
And that leaves Monday....after the pin, usually Monday has some pretty good fireworks as normal markets starts again.
thats my take, and that about all I got to say about these charts.

Are you seeing the Market make a big move up come monday / tuesday or down based on your analysis?ReplyDelete
I don't know about big, but a 1% move would be totally within my expectations, either way. 30% chance of a 1.5% move, 15% of a 2.5% moveReplyDelete
Markets are not statistical normal distributions.
are you seeing market dipping below 13,000 before early july ?ReplyDelete

Fast Five (alternatively known as Fast & Furious 5 or Fast & Furious 5: Rio Heist) is a 2011 American action film written by Chris Morgan and directed by Justin Lin. It is the fifth installment in the Fast and the Furious film series. It was released first in Australia on April 20, 2011, and then in the United States on April 29, 2011.
Former cop Brian O'Conner partners with ex-con Dom Toretto on the opposite side of the law. Since Brian and Mia Toretto broke Dom out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he's not the only one on their tail. Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can't separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey... before someone else runs them down first.

After a three-week tour through Western capitals and having raised some US$150 million for his fragile government, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai now knows that diplomats and business people in the West are as ambivalent as their African counterparts about the prospects for Zimbabwe in the short term. The difference is that African governments have already 'taken the risk', as Tsvangirai puts it. The stakes are much higher for Zimbabwe's neighbours if things fall apart again.
The Nigerian-based Afreximbank has extended some $250 mn. in credit lines to Zimbabwean state-owned and private companies; the regional Preferential Trade Area is extending another $150 mn.; Botswana and South Africa are offering nearly $200 mn. Several African bankers who attended the Zimbabwe roadshows in Cape Town on 10-12 June told Africa Confidential they would open negotiations, having been convinced to sign up by Finance Minister Tendai Biti, Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara and Harare's omnipresent financial baron, Nigel Chanakira. Tsvangirai had the tougher mission of persuading Western countries wedded to the view that any government allowing Robert Mugabe to stay on as President was almost doomed to repeat the patronage, corruption and violence of the past or else would simply disintegrate under the weight of its own contradictions.
Inside Zimbabwe, the power-sharing project looks less tenuous. That is perhaps because so many Zimbabweans – for either the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) or the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) – desperately want it to work, to bolster the economy and to end the fearful political violence. The momentum has been on their side for the last four months: the longer the power-sharing lasts, the more normal an MDC prime minister and finance minister becomes; and the more support they can garner from within and without, the more stable the transition will become.
Tsvangirai knows the differing constituencies to which he must appeal and is increasingly adept at hitting the target. He opened his address to Britain's Royal Institute of International Affairs with a 'special tribute to the British people for their unwavering support for the ordinary people of Zimbabwe', followed by a diplomatic reference to the colonial land grab 'notwithstanding our historical ties arising from our past relationship.' The thrust of his argument, rehearsed in Berlin, Brussels, London, Paris, Washington and elsewhere, is that there are strong parallels between Zimbabwe's transition from rule by ZANU-PF to a social democratic system and South Africa's transition from apartheid rule to an open democracy with a liberal constitution.
Freely admitting that he is 'not a Mandela', Tsvangirai says the important point is for Zimbabwe to avoid the hyper-violence of South Africa's transition, which killed some 20,000 people because extremists in the old order thought they could derail the process. Having dropped the electorally suicidal association with white farmers, Tsvangirai now neatly triangulates between general resentment about gross colonial inequities in land distribution, concern about the rule of law and property rights and an almost implicit acceptance that most of ZANU-PF's land resettlement will not be reversed, although compensation schemes and the land audit may remedy some of the worst excesses on all sides.
Tsvangirai has to rely heavily on his Finance Minister Biti and Economic Planning Minister Elton Mangoma (see Who's Who). Under their tutelage, the economy has changed from the most bureaucratic, cumbersome system of regulation – covering everything from foreign exchange, capital controls, payment of corporate taxes and import tariffs – to one of the least regulated economies in the developing world.
In reality, the job was half done by the collapse of most of the formal economy: regulations were openly flouted, especially by greedy politicians who used the system for personal enrichment and political patronage. For most Zimbabweans in the cash economy, the suspension of the Zimbabwe dollar and the adoption of the US dollar and South African rand as legitimate currency were an acceptance of reality. It has prompted huge economic and political change.
Almost instantly, dollarisation destroyed ZANU-PF's patronage base and the power of Reserve Bank Governor Gideon Gono, who can no longer disburse foreign exchange to political favourites or indeed order the prosecution of political foes for currency violations. Most of Gono's strength is now negative, the power to make the economy go wrong. Judging by his broad smile when Africa Confidential saw him in Biti's office last week, there may be some truth in the report that Mugabe refuses to allow Gono to resign, for fear of giving in to the MDC.
The question haunting Zimbabwe's transition is whether it is reversible. Of course the MDC line on Tsvangirai's sojourn was that the 'commitment to a new Zimbabwe' was overwhelming. This time, Tsvangirai's enthusiasm captures the sense of change in Zimbabwe: the reopening of schools, clinics and hospitals together with a more open (but still fractious) political climate.
This year's sweeping economic changes make impossible a return to the status quo ante. The main beneficiaries from failure would be – as in South Africa's transition – a small band of securocrats who may face prosecution for serial human rights abuses. Tackling that issue amid the wider calls for political reform is becoming a pressing issue for those determined to shore up the new order.

Quitting your job and travelling for an entire summer — sounds like a dream, doesn't it? That's what British Columbia photographer Marty Mellway did.
"With a car full of camping gear and supplies we drove north to wander and explore the wilderness of the Yukon and Alaska," Mellway's video starts.
The video features shots of mountain ranges and just some of the wildlife that you can find in the north, but without all the drama of Wild.
Mellway writes in the description, "The north has forever changed my perception of beauty and nature."
If you have a video that you'd like to share, send it to us at online-editor(at)canadiangeographic.ca. It could be the next video of the week.

Follow my hike from start to finish visually with the photographs below, that are chronologically organized so that you can experience my hike with me just as I did.
You will never miss a step with this chronological gallery that footprints my hike.
Today, rather than hiking the trail that I normally hike, I hesistantly, yet willingly decided to hike a different trail that I had hiked twice before.
The trail I hiked was named the Royal Arch Trail, which is located within Chautauqua Park in Boulder, Colorado.
It had been a while since I hiked individually.
Since it had been a while since what I consider my last "REAL HIKE," I decided that if I chose to hike a new trail that it could be exciting and an adventure.
In addition to the exciting element of hiking an unfamiliar trail, I also was aware about the level of difficulty of the hike, which I would consider much more difficult and lengthy than the hike I generally go on.
I fell off the wagon during the Winter, as I found myself making excuses to talk myself out of hiking. The longer that I avoided hiking, the harder it became to start hiking again regularly. Similarly, since I truly enjoy hiking as more than a form of exercise and a hobby, I found myself more anxious and irritable, as a result of my lack of execution.
The Royal Arch trail was about 3 miles long one-way, so the entire hike, both ways, comes out to be a total of around six miles.
Most of the way up to the top was an extreme incline, with very tall rock stairs, making it a very intensive cardio workout. This was exactly what I was looking for!
It was not easy to say the least, but I truly enjoyed it.
Follow me through my hiking excursion below:
Here are some more moments that I captured with a disposable film camera!
One hiker that came across me on my way down began conversating with me and proceeded to ask if I was from Boulder, Colorado.
I replied, "Yes, I am born and raised here. I am a native," in which he responds, "even after all this time in Boulder, you are still doing and still hiking the same trails! That's incredible!"
I find solitude and happiness at Chautauqua Park, all while being able to get exercise. This is a place that I can always count on to allow me to forget my problems and to be in a state of awe by the beauty that is within and around Chautauqua Park.
Though there is usually a surplus of hikers on the trail, Chautauqua Park is a perfect escape for me to run away, literally and figuratively, from people and continue to nourish and flourish my relationship with Mother Nature.
Within the park, you can find so many hidden gems of beauty tucked within an already beautiful area.
It is hard to believe that something that already is so beautiful contains even more beauty within itself.
You will never be disappointed with the views on any of your hikes at Chautauqua Park, but instead, you may find yourself disappointed that you never proceeded to appreciate all the glory that is Chautauqua Park.
What is your favorite place to find solitude and happiness?
Find your escape within your paradise, so you always have a place to run away from your problems, forget your worries, and clear your head.

Monday, June 25, 2018, marks the first day of a very eventful and highly anticipated road trip. I will be making the journey from Boulder, Colorado to Milwaukee, Wisconsin with one of my dearest friends, Bria Schlossmann.
While our main mission is to drive her Jeep back to Milwaukee, we decided to use it as an excuse to spend time together, adventure, and finally execute a trip that we had always entertained for five years. This year it finally became a reality!
Bria is from Wisconsin, however, I am a Boulder native, who has left the Boulder bubble, but not enough. I figured if I could figure out arraignments for my obligations that I could experience the world just a little more. The world contains so many magical, all natural gifts and treasures that are begging to be recognized, admired, uncovered, and shared.
Our first day was quite eventful, as we crossed the Colorado border into Nebraska.
We also made a pit stop at Fort Morgan, Colorado. Fort Morgan is a fairly small farm town and it seemed fairly traditional! There is something about those small towns that are charming, because they contain their own local gems that give the town a personality.
Of course, as we were leaving Colorado and entering Nebraska, we could not help but grab a picture at the "Welcome to Colorful Colorado." This ended up being a little more of an obstacle for us, as I forced Bria to get off at the nearest exit and go in the opposite direction that we were supposed to be driving in JUST TO GET THIS PICTURE.
We did not skip a beat, proceeding to grab pictures at the "Welcome to Nebraska" sign, just because we can.
Staring at endless fields of corn, wheat, grass, etc. has always been fairly soothing for me to look at. Man, these fields sure do make the Earth seem like it could possibly be flat, but only part-time. The landscape is beautiful in its own unique way, and truly depends on perspective. Colorado and Nebraska had a surplus of endless fields, and luckily these fields looked far from dry, but very green and lush! This made me very happy and grateful for the rain that our nation has been receiving.
The sky was what was up!! The clouds were so breathtaking to look at, as they seemed to be just as endless as the fields, as you could see them for miles. The clouds also seemed friendlier than usual, appearing to hang lower and closer to the ground than normal. The sky was captivating to be around
On our second day, we made our way through Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, and finally made it to Wisconsin.
The entire time we found ourselves chasing a storm, and at some points, the rain was so heavy that we could not see the roads.
I saw lots of wind farms….
and lots of beauty!
I also found a new appreciation for the sky and the clouds.
My two day road trip excursion was extremely exciting, full of laughs, good memories, and good conversation.
My vacation is only beginning, however. I will be spending some time with Bria and her family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as well as Elk Point, Wisconsin. I am looking forward to be spending time with them, and exploring Wisconsin in all of its' glory.
What Summer trips do you have planned?
Drive safe, but trip road often!!

Dark Matter
Hello Dear Followers,
This post is by my blogger and friend Pam Sahota of Radiate Daily (follow her site here www.radiatedaily.com)! Pam offered a bit of her insight on on the book, "Dark Matter" Hope you enjoy!
Dark Matter written by Blake Crouch is a novel that leaves you thinking from chapter to chapter. In summary it's about a gentleman who is taken away from the life he knew and realizes that there is another version of "him" out there living an alternate version of it. He has to escape to get back to his family and convince them it's the real him, while ensuring the other versions of him don't get in the way of his reuniting with his family and true life.
The book makes you think at every chapter. Will he decide to return to his original version of his life or will this new version be something he finds more appealing? Why did the other version of him trade places? Is the grass really always greener?
It makes you think inward and wonder about your own life in comparison – or at least it did for me.
Can you imagine the potential of alternate realities and having multiple versions of yourself living them? The outcome of your current existence can change in an instant (as we know) but the life of another one of your existences could be on a path you never imagined For example if one of you went right, but the other went left.
I won't spoil the ending, but I will say the book is not just suspenseful and thrilling (a true page turner as critics would say), but it's major food for thought. It makes you wonder what the main character should do, but what you would do if you were given a chance to live a different version of your life. Ever missed a chance at a relationship or job or a chance to live somewhere else? What if you had a chance to go back and live that life. Would you?

text: To: email@example.com From: () Subject: UFO Sighting Reports Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by () on Sunday, December 21, 1997 at 01:11:32 location: Yuma, AZ. USA. date: SEPT/ 1992 time: 2:00 PM sighting: While visiting the Colorado River in Yuma Arizona, I had taken a walk, with a girl I had met. I wanted to show her a old mine in the hills a short ways from camp. I remember taking her in the mine. What happend next can not be explained (I woke up screaming naked and hands held high to the sky screaming to something above where are my cloths. After a quick look around I found that the girl was naked and crying approxamently 50 yards away. she did not know where her cloths went. We then found our cloths aways away. The thing that makes this seem very strange to me is the lost time we experienced After getting back to camp we were asked why we were gone for so long. We did not answer , almost as if we where not to talk about. I find it possibly true that something happend, I feel the chances are good we were abducted by aliens and studed for a short period of time then released with out our cloths on, only to wonder what may have taken place. I know something happend and hope to one day find this girl, so to ask her what happend, I am still nervous of what I might hear, after 5 years. I think I would be convinced I just blacked out. I can not except this thought ,I feel if I blacked out and made this girl cry, not knowing where our close were, she would not want to have anything to do with me , but, this did not happen, we acted like it never happend and stayed together the whole trip. I never remember thinking about it until a few years ago, first person I told was my mom and ever since very few people. I wish I knew what happend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
