I am rebellious by nature — I guess. My first impulse to most things is to do the opposite. The advice given to most young writers (of which I am not one) is to specialize. Pick an area and become the expert in that field.
I just finished reading a piece about blogging. AND, the advice for new bloggers was to specialize. So, here I am feeling my back up against the wall, as it were. Perhaps, these advisers are correct. Probably, my life would have been simpler if I had paid attention. But…
I was trained in interdisciplinary studies. Indeed, I received my Ph.D. in that area. Telling me to stay with one discipline is like confining me to a small cramped space. I can't do it. No!! I will not do it! I do not see the world from such a narrow perspective. I do not mean to give offense by that statement. Such limits might make life easier for some, but not for me. Anyhow, half the fun of writing about whatever is learning something new.
Learning has always been core to my being. One of the areas of focus for my doctoral studies was creativity. Learning is a creative act. By nature, creativity requires breaking down old ways and perspectives and establishing new ones. So, there it is. The heart of my dilemma. I don't like sameness.
Yet, in my resistance there is something I know. I know that my personal writings, those I pieces I have worked on that have given me joy are those that concern women. I guess that means I should aim my blog toward that demographic. Do you think it is a large enough group…..
So with much regret, I choose to simplify my life at this blogging adventure. You heard it hear first! I will concentrate on speaking to women. More to come….

European Union says skills training key to growth
Allvoices Share
The European Union is calling on its members states to invest in education and skills in the workplace as a means to fight its way out of the global recession. The Council of the European Union has said "The European Union is facing one of its biggest challenges as a consequence of the global recession. The way out of the crisis must mean moving to a more competitive economy, which is knowledge-based, inclusive and sustainable, giving good employment opportunities for women and men. Special attention must be paid to young people and disadvantaged groups, providing them with employment and training opportunities to prevent their social exclusion." More
How to make a PIP more tolerable — and productive
Federal Times Share
Performance improvement plans are not fun for either the manager or the employee. But, both the manager and the employee can make the best of a PIP. The PIP is a notice to the employee of an opportunity to improve performance, or be fired. From the employee's perspective, it is almost like being put back on probation, and should be regarded as such. From the manager's viewpoint, a PIP is a lot of work with a seemingly never-ending period of putting up with a non-performer. The employee who receives a PIP notice should take it seriously and respond with a positive attitude and much hard work. More
ISPI SkillCast: Evidence-based training: Moving beyond fads and fiction in workforce learning
ISPI Share
Are you wasting resources on training myths? Come to this session for a preview of Ruth Clark's new book: Evidence Based Training. During the session, Ruth will reveal the research behind three prevalent training myths and review brain-based proven training strategies to replace them. Specifically we will look at the psychology and evidence regarding: learning styles, the best use of visuals and audio to promote learning, when to use and when to lose animations, which delivery media teach best, and the what, when, why and for whom of three instructional architectures: Show and Tell, Stair Step, and Immersive.

How to accelerate business performance with 2.0 technologies

With the big U.S. Enterprise 2.0 conference a week away, some more thoughts on accelerating business performance with the effective deployment of these modern technologies. Modern technology has greatly accelerated the rate at which we can create letters, documents, notes and voice communication, but these outdated workflow paradigms are inefficient and choking the arteries of businesses with terrabytes of hard to find information.

Learning to succeed
TODAY Share
The economic and social pressures today on organizations are so strong, they are changing the work world at a pace never encountered before. Hardly have employees become familiar with new processes and work methodologies that they are asked to unlearn them and learn even newer and more sophisticated ways of working. In the late '80s and early '90s, employees were principally selected to fill vacancies that required specified knowledge, skills and abilities to perform a specific job or combination of tasks. Once employed, the person would probably do the same job for the rest of his career, climb the so-called career ladder and be remunerated on a seniority-based system. But this career journey model is obsolete. Training and development have become a continuous process if one does not want to be rendered irrelevant in one's workplace. More
The danger and pleasure in being yourself
Management-Issues Share
David Thompson wrote in Management-Issues "I bumped into a colleague outside of a work context recently. He was just out with his family, on a Saturday doing chores-with-the-family-on-a-Saturday kind of stuff, and we bumped into each other in Starbucks. During the week, this person is suited and booted, always smart, smooth, and professional. When we met, he was unshaven, and dressed down. Really dressed down. And you know what? He looked like a different person. When I said hi, he did a double take and had more than a hint of embarrassment in his eye, as if his cover had somehow been blown. Like I had stumbled across his secret world, where he was real, exposed. Well, himself. And this got me to thinking. What is he missing out on at work? What are his people missing out on? He looked so much more at ease, comfortable, free, relaxed outside of work. He looked happy, relaxed. He was warmer. He looked authentic." More
HR teams don't have access to the data they need to make important decisions

U.K. companies and HR departments do not have the information they need to make crucial business decisions, new research suggests. The UK Talent Intelligence Survey from Taleo shows there are significant gaps between the information considered important to decision-making and the data that is available. In all but one type of data, there is a notable gap between the importance U.K .companies place on certain types of information and the actual access they have to this data. More

Did you read 'Heaven Is for Wimps and Posh Women Part One'? Did it annoy you? – I hope so. Preferably because you sympathised with blokes who can't connect with churchy views on heaven, not because you thought I was being unfair on the preacher. It's all lies though—I mean the western secular world's take on heaven and hell. When you think about the effect this has on ordinary blokes, and when you judge this take against the real thing—well, if there really is a personal force of evil—a devil, then he's a really cool operator; I mean, really shrewd (1). He could twist us around his little finger. It's frightening.
There's this thing which is the greatest thing we can ever experience. What we've all been made for, born for and we're waiting for; the thing which trumps all other pleasures, satisfactions and experiences in life. And he's got us so we hardly ever think about it and then, hardly ever seriously and often we find ourselves using our flawed church services, as a pathetic illustration of it.
Then there's this thing which really is much worse than your worst nightmare; something which would be the biggest, most heart rending regret you could ever, ever imagine. And he's got us thinking about it as though it's an inspiration. He's insidious, a manipulator, brilliant, and fiendish. And he's against us.
We've got to break the cultural lie that hell is a tough, blokey, jokey even inspiring idea, not a reality. It's not said directly—he's far too shrewd for that. It's all slowly drip-fed by vague associations.
We don't have to look far to break the lie. We've started to produce the beginnings of hell, right here. In this world, people can be innocent victims of a hell caused by other people or guilty inhabitants of a hell caused by themselves.
Think of how it must have felt, being a child on the wrong side in the Rwandan genocide. You're hearing the men with the machetes getting nearer and the screams getting louder. Your mum and dad are already dead and there's nowhere left to run. You're sinking into a pit of fear and despair with no way out. That's the tentacles of hell, on Earth in the recent past.
Think of a young East European woman, an illegal, alone, today in a room somewhere in central London, held captive as a sex slave. She's kept from making contact with the outside world so near at hand and forced to have sex with ten strangers a night. She's beginning to lose her mind and wonders whether she's still a person or whether she's become just a living piece of meat. Suicide is looking like the only way out. That's hell's grip on our country, now.
Hell must be something like being a father who was in a road accident while driving under the influence of alcohol, and it killed his child. He lives for the rest of his life in an agony of regret. That degree of frustration might be something like Jesus' meaning when he said hell was a place of 'weeping and gnashing of teeth' (2).
If we can make hells like this in this world where there is still some holding us back by God, through his common graces of law and order and basic civilisation, just think what sort of hell we can make if He finally accepts our repeated rejection of Him and He just leaves us to it, finally and forever outside His help.
If you found yourself in the real final hell and were conscious of its meaning, surely you would see that you had been completely conned about the whole of life, sold out, had been made the butt of a stinking joke, ratted on, been made a fool of because you were one, used and spat out by the person you realised you had been following—no less than the devil– and who you now saw was the Great Con Artist of all time (3), who hated you and who was still laughing at you.
You hardly need to add any sort of Divine retribution to that. But surely there has to be that as well, however unwanted or revolting the idea might seem to us. Otherwise the unknown, unheard victims of hells caused by other people would never have any comeback. They would not, in the end, matter. People would not, in the end, matter. Without real, final justice you do not matter—but you believe you do.
We know Jesus once described hell in terms of a local valley (4) known to his hearers which had a history of being the ancient site of child sacrifices and which at one time had been the place to burn the entire city's filth. In their minds it must have been linked with everything which made you feel sick; everything which would disgust you.
I was once driving off-road in the mountains of southern Spain, and I suddenly found myself driving through the rubbish site of some village or other. Dark smoke filled the air. I was lost and alone and the only things I could see clearly were the glowing red centres of fires looking out at me like angry eyes, from inside smouldering rubbish piles. Until I finally found my way out, I felt something of the effect of Jesus' illustration, even though for me the place didn't have the horrific links which that valley had in the minds of his original hearers.
We should start to describe hell in some accessible earthly terms from today's world, so men start to take it seriously for what it is.
1. Genesis 3:1
2. Matthew 25:30
3. John 8:44
4.'Gehenna'(Greek), from 'Ge Hinnom'(Hebrew) or The Valley of Hinnom south of Jerusalem.

Oakland, CA – The Mariners scored five runs in the eighth and never looked back. Four players hit two-run homers after only mustering two hits in Thursday night opener. Seattle's 9-5 victory over the A's put a damper on the game but not the Fourth of July fireworks that brought a sellout crowd to O.co.
J.A. Happ snapped a four-start losing streak, earning his first win since May 9. Despite scattering three runs over eight hits, he got more than enough run support. Happ yielded three runs in the second and was at 81 pitches. But he recovered by retiring the last seven batters he faced before ending his night on the mound after tossing six innings.
"No excuses, they found holes and put a couple of runs on the board in the second," said Happ. "I tried to bear down and put up zeroes after that, and it was awesome to go out there in the sixth and pitch with the lead."
Jesse Chavez whose managed to stay away from giving up home runs, surrendered two for the night. Coming into the game, Chavez was ranked fourth for fewest home runs per inning. In his last four starts, he's allowed a combined two home runs totaling five for the season. But tonight he gave up a pair in the the third and sixth frames.
"No one ever expects to swing on the first pitch," Chavez said. "A good hitter like that executed and I didn't. The other one shouldn't have happened."
Billy Burns tried to ignite the offense with a leadoff single in the first. Stephen Vogt followed with a single putting two on with no outs. But Ben Zobrist hit into a forceout and Billy Butler followed hitting into a double play to end the frame. But a few errors by the Mariners put two batters on base in the second.
Mark Canha's RBI single put Oakland on the board with a 1-0 lead. Marcus Semien grounded out but picked up the RBI for scoring in Josh Reddick making it a 2-0 game. Both Brett Lawrie and Reddick got on base with singles following a few mistakes from Seattle's defense. Burns RBI double put another run on the board, extending Oakland's lead 3-0.
Happ had given up three runs. The Mariners defense fell apart and the A's took advantage. But the lead didn't last long when Logan Morrison took Chavez deep on the first pitch in the third making it a 3-2 game. Mike Zunino led off the frame with a single and Morrison's two-run homer got the Mariners back in the game.
The A's turned a few double plays which frustrated Seattle through two innings. Chavez had retired eight batters until he gave up a a single to Kyle Seager in the sixth and former Oakland player Seth Smith followed with the two-run shot giving the Mariners the lead for the first time tonight.
Down by a run, the A's bullpen didn't fair any better against Seattle's offense that did a complete 180. By the eighth Oakland's bullpen had unraveled. The Mariners scored five runs in one frame. Robinson Cano led off with a single, and Nelson Cruz hit a two-run homer making it a 6-3 game.
"We bounced back real nice today," said Seattle's manager Lloyd McClendon. "That was a big win for us, particularly falling behind 3-0. The guys kept fighting."
Seager followed with a double, Dustin Ackley grounded to first base, but Vogt mishandled the ball and was charged with an error. Ackley reached first safely on a fielding error scoring in Seager. Brad Miller blasted a two-run shot to right field extending Seattle's lead 9-3.
The A's tried to rally a comeback in the ninth. Eric Sogard led off the inning with a single, Ike Davis struck out but Reddick singled putting two on. Canha doubled clearing the bases making it a 9-5 game. But the hole was too deep to dig. Four Mariners hit two-run home runs a piece.
Evan Scribner has been no surprise to giving up home runs. He allowed his eighth and ninth home runs of the year and now leads American League relievers for most home runs. Scribner gave up two home runs in the eighth to both Cruz and Miller. His ERA went from 1.10 in early May to 3.64 in just one month.
"When I first started struggling, it was just my fastball location," Scribner said. "I lost it for like a week, and then I think I tried to overcompensate with my off-speed stuff, and now everybody's just sitting on that."
"It's some balls up in the zone, whether it's a heater up or whether it's a curveball hung to Miller," Oakland's manager Bob Melvin said. "He has the ability to pitch very well for us. He's just going through a tough time."

The cabinet decision to have a blanket, "You (the minor) will be raised in the faith of your parents at point of marriage, if a dispute arises over you following the conversion of one parent to Islam", justifiably provides solace to some and raises ire in others.
It does resolve some problems while at the same time inevitably creates a few new ones.
The cabinet has let the nation down, and it is not the first time in recent times.
The real issue of the matter, or unintended realisation from it is that answers that come from any cabinet, from 29 persons stacked in a room in our case, advised by the few will always exclude various factors or permutations.
You can't expect 29 people to think on behalf of 26 million people and do it well. This nation must start to trust its people to debate and discuss the issues that affect them, because it is becoming more and more apparent that there is no other way.
This country's administrators historically have come from the western educated, those who frolicked with each other in their younger years and remained friends. Their education they believe keeps them above the flock they lead. They go their separate way when they have to manage the masses, because the masses are fairly unexposed to the vagaries of the world, and therefore only recognise primordial elements like race.
They will fan and douse the energy of the simpletons when need be, and after they are done, through a process of power-sharing, collaboration, information exchange, compromise and consensus arrive at a resolution that fits the situation.
They manage their population, not lead them.
However the demographics have shifted, and the weightier preoccupation brought on by cable TV and the internet renders any decision that is carried requiring societal reflection.
People have to be persuaded to an outcome, and even then the outcome, its shape and form may have taken twists and turn and become an altered outcome thanks to participatory democracy.
These are the days where everyone gets a voice, whether you like it or not. Ignoring that voice only precipitates your own demise.
So the question is, with religious conversion firmly in central examination, not to mention 1 Malaysia, do the people who run this country actually wants its inhabitants to debate their needs, wants and conflicts?
Religious conversion
The issue is not religion, it is about child custody. Divorce numbers are piling, and its contributing puzzle is custody of the children from that failed marriage.
Malaysia, like most countries is likelier to pass custody mothers than fathers, more so with pre-pubescent children.
The fathers are rushing the kids into Islam after their own conversion, to both remove the case from civil courts and reduce the status of the mothers through forced mediation in the Syariah courts.
It is the hijacking of process that gives the sense of helplessness amongst non-muslims.
The cabinet ruling sounds nice, but likely to be unenforceable.
The Syariah administrators and state religious authorities are not going to be flattered to have new converts have a cabinet promise that they will not have custody of their children upon conversion.
If the child is to remain in the faith both parents held at marriage, then the parent who still keeps the old faith is likelier to provide a stable home for the child — if by cabinet edict the child must remain in that faith until adulthood.
It becomes a disincentive for those in marriages with kids to veer to Islam, as they are likelier to lose children from that consummation, in theory if the cabinet edict holds.
So what was comprehensively unfair to Muslims, is now theoretically unfair to the newly Muslim parent.
Let's give them something to talk about
The answer has to be in enabling family courts in this country to be more well "family" oriented and less "religious" driven.
Child custody is about the raising of a child, not the winning of souls for the afterlife. If it is a discussion of the latter, then there will be a stalemate, and nothing can be achieved.
The people with these issues have to talk. However, family courts have to consider the merits of parenting, not religiosity, and there needs to be legal recourse, fair legal recourse for all.
There are various religious considerations, and interests of communities external to the immediate family — but those are secondary considerations.
Which leads to the final requirement, just mediation. The existence of two separate family courts and estranged partners seeking recourse in separate forums, will lead to jurisdictional debate, not family ones. And it gets heavily politicised.
My preference is for a single court, but if Malaysia's realpolitik dictates then there has to be joint committees, and no default custody based on religion.
The answer is about getting theology take a backseat and parenting moving to the fore.
The answer is not in 29 cabinet members deliberating, but a nation debating.
The answer is in those adjudicating looking at the welfare of the children, not their own political and religious affiliations.
Religious conversion — heaving under heaven's door
The cabinet decision to have a blanket, "You (the minor) will be raised in the faith of your parents at point of marriage, if a dispute arises over you following the conversion of one parent to Islam", justifiably provides solace to some and raises ire in others.

The 2017 Cannes Film Festival is nearing its end. This year has been one of the best in recent history and I am really excited to see what we are going to see brought to the red carpet in the final day. I hope that we continue to see the glamour that we have seen closing out the festival with as strong of red carpet looks as the ones that graced the red carpets at the start of the festival. The Un Certain Regard section of the festival will hold its closing ceremony on Saturday ahead of the official closing of the festival on Sunday. We have seen Uma Thurman, the president of the Un Certain Regard jury, deliver a bunch of very up and down looks over the course of the festival. I am hoping that the rest of the festival is smooth sailing. Uma Thurman has proven she loves feathers with the embellishment adorning two of her custom gowns over the course of the festival. Sadly I was only interested in one of those two looks. I went back to feathers for my wish for Uma to wear for the closing ceremony of the Un Certain Regard selection on Saturday. I think that Uma would look so elegant and statuesque wearing this nude Francesco Scognamiglio Fall 2016 Couture sequin embellished column gown which features a feathered one shoulder neckline. We have seen a lot of Francesco Scognamiglio on the red carpet during Cannes and there are still a few gowns from the labels Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 Couture collection that I want to see on the red carpet and Uma is one who I really think could make this gown come to life on the red carpet. I would have the skirt lined for Uma, just because I am getting really done with seeing sheer skirts on the red carpet. Rounding out the look to perfection with a pair of metallic nude sandals, simple diamond drop earrings, a sleek updo, lined eye, and a pink lip will make this a beautiful bookend to Uma's time at the festival.
The Closing Ceremony of the Un Certain Regard selection will take place on Saturday May 27, 2017 and the 2017 Cannes Film Festival will close on Sunday May 28, 2017.

The Sun is setting down,
Behind the blanket of gray cloud,
Shining brightly along the cloud peaks,
While I am looking at it,
The horizon starts radiating brilliant beige light,
Then, the Sun moves gently down the cloud,
Big spot,
In scarlet red.
The vivid orange color brightens all blanket of cloud
and the sky,
So magnificent like the Heaven.
Suddenly, I am startled as if woke up from a dream.
I turn away to another side.
Oh ... What a trouble life !
Is it the reality ?
Have I got to return to the reality ?
What I turn away may be the absurdity !
What is the true value of life ?
If need to choose, ...
Alas, I cannot face to both sides in the same time.

LAHORE: As many as 325 people, mostly youngsters, were deported back to Allama Iqbal International Airport here Monday from Turkey.
The FIA Immigration officials said the deportees were deported back to the country by the Turkish immigration authorities through a special flight of PIA. The officials said majority of the deportees belonged to Gujranwala, Mandi Bahauddin, Gujrat, Narowal and Sialkot. They said some of them also hailed from Faisalabad, Lahore, Karachi and Multan regions.
The officials said the deportees wanted to enter Europe through Turkey and were arrested by the Turkish border security forces at different times. Many of them were arrested some one year back and remained in different jails of Turkey.
The FIA investigators claimed that most of the deportees were aged between 18 to 28. They said all the deportees were handed over to the FIA's Passport cell for further investigation. Muhammad Qasim, one of the deportees, told that most of the people paid around Rs 0.6 to 0.7 million to the human traffickers to take them to Europe. He said there were also many Pakistanis captured in Turkish jails, who had been arrested in an attempt to enter Europe illegally.
Senior FIA officials said gangs were continuously sending people to Turkey from where they were pushed into the Greece using different land and river routes in a very miserable state of affairs.
The officials said the rackets were sending innocent people to Europe using land routes of Iran, Turkey and the Central Asian Republics. They said the FIA had busted many such gangs.
A senior FIA official said the rackets used to allure the jobless youth by offering a bright future in Europe from across the country. Mostly, they operated in the remote areas like the districts of Mandi Bahauddin, Hafizabad, Narowal, Gujarat, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Sheikhupura, Kasur, Khanewal, Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan, etc, he said. The rackets also operate in the big cities.
The traffickers managed to arrange genuine visas of Turkey for their clients by portraying them as young businessmen or students to deceive the immigration authorities of both Pakistan and Turkey, he said, adding many immigration consultants were also involved in sending people to Greece on a job visa.
After reaching Turkey and Cyprus, the victims were kept in dingy houses and basements and later the racket transported them to Greece through different routes including crossing of river Evros, he said. He further said the rackets had also hired local residents who facilitated then in transporting people in local public transport of closed vans.
One of the deportees Mohammad Akram said he met a large number of Pakistani youth who were struck up in Cyprus because they did not have any travelling documents and could not come back home. He said the youth also avoided going to police, because in that case they would be arrested.
He said in the past, a number of youths lost their lives when Greek and Turkish forces opened fire on them while trying to cross the border. Many such incidents took place in the past where victims were shot dead and their bodies remained there for days.
Another senior FIA official, revealing about the setup of different rackets, said agents working in Greece, Turkey and Pakistan were separate and over 1,000 Euro per person were charged from the victims to transport them to Greece from Turkey. He said sometimes parents unwittingly surrendered their youngsters to a trafficker who lured families with the promise of good-paying jobs in the outer world for their children.
"The most difficult aspect of investigating the crime was identification of the culprits because families of the persons did not complain unless their beloved were either deported or faced some problem abroad," he said.
The FIA DG said the FIA was working against the human traffickers and several gangs had already been smashed and various notorious human traffickers arrested. He said there was a need of creating awareness among the masses so that the people should start discouraging the agents, besides adopting a legal way for going abroad, he concluded.

It's recommendation time!
I thought it was time to look back at the books I've read, and show you guys five books that I think every book lover must read!!
5. All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
This is such an beautiful book! It's gut-wrenchingly brutal and will probably break your heart, but even so, if you haven't read it, you must.
4. The Wrath And The Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
This book is so good! I still don't have the words to describe it. Renee Ahdieh has such a gift! I can't believe I'm about to say this, but you can judge this book by it's cover: it's extraordinary inside and out.
3. Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
Simon and Baz action. I think I've said enough.
2. Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini
I can't tell you how many times I have re-read this book, simply because I've read it (probably) too many times! All I can say is Josephine Angelini creates such amazing characters, and such an amazing world, you are truly missing out if you don't read it!
1. Glass Houses by Rachel Caine
The books in this series mean so much to me, and as a whole, are my favourite books ever. I know what most of you guys must be thinking: 'No, not vampires! It will just be a rip-off of Twilight!' I can personally tell you this series is nothing like Stephanie Meyer's series; it's completely unique, and deserves so much more love than it gets.
So these are the five books that I think all bibliophiles must read! I love them, and I hope you guys do/will too!
Have you read any of them? If so, what did you think?
– Emma
Read On!

In addition to Mr. Ware's work, small amounts of masonry work for Pavilion II were provided by John M. Perry, William B. Phillips, and Samuel Campbell, who worked on the construction of other pavilions at the university. Albert H. Brooks installed the tinplate roofing, and Joseph Antrim probably contracted for the plasterwork. Ornamental composition and lead elements were supplied by William Coffee of New York City. The bases of the portico columns were supplied by John Gorman, and the capitals were carved at Carrara, Italy.
The original plan of Pavilion II was unusual even for Jefferson. It was the only pavilion to have its entrance open into a small vestibule. From there, access was provided to a large lecture room, which extended the full depth of the pavilion along the south side. This space was the largest lecture room in any of the pavilions. Along the north side of the first floor was a small room used as the professor's study. Behind this space was a stair hall with a freestanding stairway to the second floor, which was unique among the pavilions.
The first recorded occupant of Pavilion II was Thomas Johnson, professor of medicine. Anatomical demonstrations may have been held in the building before the construction of the Anatomical Theatre in 1826. Many modifications were made to the building during the nineteenth century, beginning in 1829, when Professor Johnson had a partition constructed at the west end of the large room. At that time, the freestanding stairway may have been removed, and a new staircase constructed against the wall. In 1839, Professor James Cabell requested permission to make interior changes, which may have included partitions at the east ends of the lecture room and the professor's study.
A rear wing may have been constructed as early as 1832. This addition evidently included a porch, for there is a record of the rear porch being renewed in 1841; in 1892 it was rebuilt for Dr. William C. Dabney. By 1920 the addition reached its present form, except for the new porch and stairs, which were constructed in 1953. By the mid-twentieth century, extensive changes had been made to the first story. The interior reached its present form in 1953, when the first floor was almost completely rebuilt in an effort to restore the building to its original appearance. It appears that the work was based solely on the original Jefferson floor plan. The previous conditions were not recorded, and evidence uncovered during the work was not documented.
The basement was also restored in 1953. The previous configuration of the basement is not known, except that a small stairway was located in the southeast corner, which extended up to the former lecture room. This stairway was removed when the present stair was rebuilt in the original location.
Despite the many changes that were made over the years to the first story, the second story has survived virtually intact. The present plan of the second story is similar to that shown on the original Jefferson drawing. The small room in the northeast corner may have been modified during the nineteenth century to serve as a corridor to the rear addition. In 1953, it was remodeled as two bathrooms.
The other modification to the second floor occurred in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, when the stairway was extended to the attic. Originally, the attic was probably reached using a ladder, as is still the case with some of the pavilions.

Going to Work should not be a Grave Mistake!
Work sites are required to provide a safe environment for employees. They must comply with up-to-date safety procedures and provide workers with the proper equipment to ensure safety. If a company fails to do so, it may be held liable for job site accidents.
A bridge collapsed on southbound Interstate 75 in Cincinnati sending tons of concrete crashing to ground, killing a construction worker. The man was part of a contractor crew working on the demolition of the bridge. As the bridge collapsed, a tractor trailer struck the collapsed section as it hit the ground. The truck driver suffered minor and not life-threatening injuries.
The Cincinnati Fire Department said the collapse happened about 10:30 p.m. Monday while the bridge was undergoing demolition. A new bridge had previously been constructed, but there is no immediate indication that the old bridge had any structural problems. The city will be working with the Department of Transportation to determine what caused the collapse. The deceased construction worker leaves behind a fiancé and four young children.
At this time, there has been no mention whether the worker was wearing a safety restraint or tethered to the bridge to prevent a fall, but skimping on safety is dangerous. As more of our public infrastructure is built and maintained by private companies, responsible contracting is more important than ever to prevent workplace accidents. Unfortunately, when private firms are awarded contracts, the bidding and decision process is focused on cost and performance on previous jobs, will little or no consideration to the contractor's compliance with safety regulations. Additionally, many projects of this scope include the state agency, contractor and possibly multiple subcontractors, making accountability more challenging.
When a worker is killed in an on-the-job accident, his family can seek workers' compensation death benefits. However, worker's compensation benefits are usually inadequate when it comes to compensating a family for losing a primary or sole wage earner. Families may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the victim's employer and any third-parties whose negligence may have caused or contributed to the fatal incident. An experienced attorney will be able to help the family better understand their legal rights and options.
If the unfortunate family needs some financial help to get through a long litigation process, they may want to consider a service known as lawsuit funding, a cash advance against their pending claim. At Lawsuit Financial, the application process is quick and easy by phone or via our website. Once approved for funding, the family would be able to pay their ordinary bills and expenses, as well as funeral expenses within 24 – 48 hours. There is no need for a credit check or employment verification and there are no monthly payments. Lawsuit funding is provided based solely on the merits of the case with repayment upon reaching a settlement. But, if the case is lost, repayment of the lawsuit cash advance is completely excused.
If you are in a pending personal injury lawsuit and struggling financially to make ends meet, don't settle you case for pennies on the dollar. Lawsuit funding may provide some financial relief, giving your attorney the time needed to obtain fair compensation for your loss. Call Lawsuit Financial and discover the benefits of our no-risk "lawsuit loans."

Imagine yourself in a stranded situation, what would you do? Any idea? Well, you can always have a count on our External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj. She can rescue anyone from any situation you're trapped in. No matter if it's about ensuring the safe return of Uzma Ahmed or mass evacuation of Indians during any crisis, she is the go-to person.
The Indian woman who was forcefully married to a Pakistani is always there to let anyone out of any miserable situations. We've probably lost the counts of her favor, as a result of which we all love her a lot.
So considering the same a man named Vishal Surywanshi urged for the help when he was watching Jab Harry Met Sejal. In the midway of the show, he realized that he had committed a blunder and thus reached out to the Minister via Twitter.
The Twitter users were quick to respond his Tweet and even requested Sushma Swaraj to respond in her classic amusing style!
The movie Jab Harry Met Sejal with the starter Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma failed to fulfill people's interest and received a backfire at the box office.
Well, till now he hasn't received any reply yet further we're eager to see how she reacts on this.

Hello and welcome to #stylechat. Tonight we're focusing on Fall #style. Let's get started!

- whereitblooms: Ok all…can't believe you don't wear Uggs! Nothing beats barefoot in Uggs in MN winter. #stylechat I wouldn't wear them to a meeting though
- skinnerjones: uggs r so not a teen thing – they're so practical!
- whereitblooms: @skinnerjones Thanks! Needed the Ugg support
- skinnerjones: @WhereitBlooms – word. should have said practical and HEAVENLY!
- fabuliss: @IDS07 Can you tell us what types of boots you DO like seeing the ladies in…pretty please?
- MNgurl1183: @WhereitBlooms @skinnerjones Glad I have Uggs supporters here
- whereitblooms: @skinnerjones Yes!!!! Heavenly is a good word 4 Uggs. Also just bought a pair of @TOMSshoes this weekend they r comfy too.
whereitblooms: Cozy sweaters (not scratchy) and could use some new accessories. What is a good bag that goes with everything? Color?
- fabuliss: @WhereitBlooms Metallics can be universal if tones match (warm vs. cool). Also dark shades of red, purple, green or blue
- whereitblooms: @fabuliss Great tip on the bag. I have a dark purple but metallic would be nice too!
fabuliss: I am in search of a brown wool subtle a-line skirt!
skinnerjones: a few more long tunics and cardigans on my wish list! oh and some cute/casual tennis shoes.
- whereitblooms: @skinnerjones Me too! Finding long tunics is tough. I don't like bulky sweaters so tunics are better. Any luck?
- skinnerjones: @WhereitBlooms no luck yet…but haven't really had time to look either. too busy style chatting
bethanyg: Seriously, looking for more professional pieces, better outerwear, debating keeping or not 3 recent shoe purchases.
- fabuliss: @bethanyg Where are you searching for your more pro pieces & outerwear?
- bethanyg: @fabuliss – Outerwear — Fall jacket and winter coat, pref. colored, accents hourglass shape
- bethanyg: @fabuliss – Professional pieces – unknown, that's the problem, something that inspires confidence in my clients but comfortable.
k_nikki: @fabuliss 2) I need a good work dress in a heavy/fall fabric. I just have summer dresses!
3) What types of fabrics, colors & accessories are you go-to Fall items?
bethanyg: Gray, always gray.
whereitblooms: I am into neutral colors and actually staying more in the browns and lighter colors vs my typical black.
whereitblooms: Love grey! Wearing it now RT @bethanyg@fabuliss – Gray, always gray.
skinnerjones: black, nude/oatmeal?, and accesories…colorful & fun scarves!
fabuliss: Great Fall neutrals: brown, navy, grey, army green
whereitblooms: Love fun scarves too… and am getting into layering bracelets and jewelry more. Taking more fashion risks and not matching.
- bethanyg: @whereitblooms – Trying to do more scarves. Suspect I am not French enough.
whereitblooms: In search of army green cargos too. Skinny fit but can I wear those with the camel boot or do the black boot?
- fabuliss: @WhereitBlooms Camel will draw extra attention to legs…add balance with focal point above bust.
MNgurl1183: I love adding a scarf to my outfit or to my fall coat
- fabuliss: @MNGurl1183 Yes, scarves w/winter coats are SO much fun to shop for
fabuliss: I love mixing wool with silk for Fall. I also love suede and leather as part of Fall. A little hard to talk about after 70+ day
- mrobin032009: Suede boots rock – but there seem to be so few days you can wear them – don't want them to get wrecked by snow/salt
- whereitblooms: Get nervous about suede in MN winters. Salt will ruin them won't it?
- k_nikki: I save my suede kicks for the cleaner days, for sure
- mrobin032009: @k_nikki Suede boots & shoes are still a Fall must have.
whereitblooms: Style + Comfort = Happy (that includes Uggs)
mrobin032009: I do love army green/moss green whatever you want t o call it for the Fall. It goes with so much – Pumpkin too
- fabuliss:@mrobin032009 Army green + pumpkin = wow (if those are your best colors!)
- fabuliss: @mrobin032009 BTW I suspect you can definitely pull of pumpkin
- mrobin032009: @fabuliss Yes I rock pumpkin for sure : )
fabuliss: For daytime scarves, if you have a short-average length neck, stick with lightweight scarves and DO NOT wrap neck
4) What types of fabrics, colors & accessories do you like wearing to dress up for Fall?
mrobin032009: Tweeds in skirts & pants are a work staple for Fall. Opaque tights too.
skinnerjones: love golds for fall!
- goodsgirl: Silver too? Thought of you with my glitzed greens for indoor pop! RT @skinnerjones: love golds for fall! #stylechathttp://yfrog.com/f3jcej
- fabuliss: @goodsgirl @skinnerjones Silver is good for cool palettes while gold is great for warm palettes.
- skinnerjones: @goodsgirl ooohhh LOVE! yes, love some silver!
fabuliss: Wool weaves with metallic threads are great to dress up in. Velvet is always dressy. Leather & suede can be dressy too!
whereitblooms: Pops of color into my wardrobe. Trying to be more creative in style but sticking with solids and not patterns.
- bethanyg: @whereitblooms – I think you are my style twin! I suck at using patterns well and generally stick with solids.
- fabuliss: @WhereitBlooms Patterns are tricky for most people to figure out. Size, placement, shapes… Lots to think about!
- whereitblooms: If I do a pattern I layer with a solid over …sweater and then keep everything else basic.
- fabuliss: @WhereitBlooms Yes…amazing how a top layer really quiets down a noisy/loud pattern! And you get style points for interest.
- whereitblooms: Thanx:) RT @fabuliss Yes…amazing how a top layer really quiets down a noisy/loud pattern! And you get style points for interest.
fabuliss: A velvet jacket with a white or cream ruffled shirt is so feminine and classic.
bethanyg: I seems to always have to stay away from buttoned shirts because of the gapping issue.
- fabuliss: @bethanyg Have you tried Hollywood Fashion Tape? It's AWESOME for gapes on shirts and sweaters
- bethanyg: @fabuliss – good tip! Need to suss the sizing too, what fits in bust is too big everywhere else.
- mrobin032009: @fabuliss @bethanyg It's always that second button. Hate that peekaboo thing – It's not like you can tailor shirts.
- whereitblooms: @mrobin032009 @bethanyg I don't have that problem if you know what i mean ) Adding some humor
- mrobin032009: @WhereitBlooms You are lucky!
- whereitblooms: @mrobin032009 no…not lucky I'd take some more any day.
- mrobin032009: @WhereitBlooms You remind me of my sister-in-laws – they say the exact same thing. ; )
- bethanyg: @whereitblooms, @mrobin032009 – You can always pad, but you can't take away…
- sweetweetak: you mean peek-a-boob shirts, don't you? @fabuliss @bethanyg ?
- fabuliss: @sweetweetak LOL…good one! Peek-a-boob shirts.
- mrobin032009: @sweetweetak You've got it, darts never seem to be deep enough re: you mean peek-a-boob shirts don't you?
k_nikki: I've been into velvet, too. Itsgreat when you can find it in shades that are rich but not the usual blk, maroon, navy
5) What are the biggest Fall faux pas when it comes to#style?
whereitblooms: where to begin? Skinny jeans w/fitted top = NO #stylechat "mom jeans"
- sweetweetak: @whereitblooms @fabuliss just say NO to "mom jeans"
- fabuliss: How to step away from the Mom jeans: A) Dark wash B) Boot or straight cut C) Waistband no higher than top of hip.
- fabuliss: Stop Mom jeans pt 2 D) Length should be as long as possible (cover half of shoe heel) E) Wear a cute shoe w/a heel
fabuliss: Biggest pet peeve for Fall faux pas is wearing summer dresses/skirts without appropriate layering/accessorizing.
- sweetweetak: @fabuliss Especially when it's 10 below, brrr. There's a saying we use in Alaska "it's not too cold, you're just underdressed"
- k_nikki: @fabuliss I'm with you regarding the dresses. Also counts for more formal occasions …
whereitblooms: Athletic tennis shoes + jeans = NO could go on
mrobin032009: @fabuliss wearing summer weight fabrics with Fall/winter weights – i.e. lightweight cotton skirt with dark hose &/or wool jacket
fabuliss: And some dresses/skirts just should not be worn in Fall/Winter
- skinnerjones: @fabuliss agreed!
6) What is one new thing you're going to try this Fall to IGNITE your #style?
fabuliss: I am going to wear skirts & dresses this Fall. Have never done…excited to find and wear!
whereitblooms: Less black and more color
- fabuliss: Love it! RT @WhereitBlooms: Less black and more color
sweetweetak: like the boots and dress look which I rarely try in winter and will zazz it up with graphic nylons/tights
- fabuliss: @sweetweetak I think you should buy the URL ZazzItUp.com
mrobin032009: I agree I'd like to find one more sweater dress – work dresses are not usually very flattering
missbridetobe: Wool mini skirts, tights and oxfords.
kshoop: Faux fur. Preferably a vest. Love Rachel Zoe's new collection.
- fabuliss: @kshoop Oooh…where is she selling them? QVC?
- whereitblooms: I did get a faux fur vest "it's bananas"
- mrobin032009: @fabuliss @kshoop I was wondering the same thing… Love Bananas girl
- fabuliss: @kshoop Client shopping – found a fun brown/blue faux fur vest at Marshall's. It was perfect for her!
- mrobin032009: @WhereitBlooms You read my mind – LOL!
- fabuliss: @WhereitBlooms Don't you mean BA NA NAS? cc @kshoop @mrobin032009
- whereitblooms: @fabuliss Sorry! Yes, BA NA NAS but I was limited by characters via Twitter
- mrobin032009: @fabuliss @WhereitBlooms Don't you mean BA NA NAS? cc @kshoop Do you think she'd do a maternity line ever since she's preggo?
- fabuliss: @WhereitBlooms Where did you find Rachel Zoe's vests?
- kshoop: @fabuliss Yes! Most of her pieces aren't too outrageous in price either. "I die." http://www.qvc.com/qsearch/search.aspx
- fabuliss: @mrobin032009 She's pregnant?!?!?!?!? I guess I had better watch those last two episodes!
- mrobin032009: @fabuliss Yes, that's the word on the street
- whereitblooms: @fabuliss Didn't get a Rachel Zoe vest but it inspired me. Found a great vest at Coco and Lolly but they closed the store now
- kshoop: @mrobin032009 I'm sure it's just around the corner for her re: preggo line. Nicole Richie did it.
- whereitblooms: @mrobin032009 Is she preggo????? If so, she'll probably now just wear a size 4 not no maternity line.
- mrobin032009: @WhereitBlooms @kshoop I could see it being a vintage inspired maternity line.
mrobin032009: A pair of killer knee high boots would be cool too – I've never found a pair that fit right.
- whereitblooms: @mrobin032009 Got an OTK black flat boot that rolls down too by Franco Sarto and love them.
- whereitblooms: My favorite new boots http://www.zappos.com/franco-sarto-tripod-black-leather
- mrobin032009: @WhereitBlooms Love Franco Sarto, but they would have to have a high heel – I'm only 5′ 4 1/2″
- mrobin032009: @WhereitBlooms Hmm, those boots are cute
- whereitblooms: @mrobin032009 I'm 5'5″ and I like the flat. I think if you do an over-the-knee with a heal it's a little "Pretty Women" so no.
- mrobin032009: @WhereitBlooms I wouldn't be wearing a mini with them! Geez! Ha Ha
- mrobin032009: @WhereitBlooms I think it's nice to extend the leg line & not have the gap between where the boot ends & the skirt begins.
- whereitblooms: @mrobin032009 LOL!!! Yes, I do agree with boots meeting the skirt. I wear these boots too with skinny jeans and long sweater.

Our magazine has taken its place in the elevator sector with its objective and pioneering concept of publishing which aims to be the eye and ear of domestic elevator companies.
Stefanos Parizyanos, General Coordinator of İda İstanbul Lift: "Interlift has strengthened its leadership"
I think that Interlift that I have participated once in every two years since 2000 when I was first engaged in the industry and took place partially as visitor this year has maintained and strengthened its leadership as in previous years.
574 firms from 46 countries participated in the lift exhibition held in an area of 44 thousand square meters. Germany ranked first by the number of participants. Italy took second place with 96 firms, China took third place with 68 firms and Spain took fourth place with 44 firms. Turkey ranked fifth with its 39 firms involved in the lift industry. It is a significant reflection of Turkey's potential on both production and interest.
This year one of the prominent subjects is the lifts ensuring a comfortable transportation for people. In-house lifts, platform lifts and handicapped lifts fall within them.
Works intended to add the lifts gradually into smart homes, smart phones and many other smart equipment as current trends were offered to visitors in the exhibition. New solution suggestions and technologies towards the smart systems allowing remote monitoring, rescue of passengers in case of emergency and passengers who are stuck in the cabin to alarm call center fell within the trends of exhibition.
Another remarkable point in the exhibition is the systems applied in the lifts as energy-efficient and environment-friendly products which have taken place in every point of our life. LED usage in the cabin and lift in general, machines coming to the fore with high productivity and low energy consumption, new-generation drivers and similar products were exposed in the exhibition.
As stated in the survey conducted and press bulletin declared by Interlift, firms are very satisfied with the participation and results of the exhibition. 69% of the participants rated their experience "Very Good-1" as best mark with %69 and "Good-2".
In conclusion attractive perspectives are offered by the exhibition to the lift industry in the Near East and Middle East. In fact experts well acquainted with the conditions in the region draw attention to concrete growth opportunities offered by the metropolitans developing at an unprecedented pace. At this point regional and industrial significance of Turkey comes to the fore once again. It should be reminded that it is necessary for us to take firms steps and to bring our quality to forefront in order to obtain a good position and to be a starring character in the industry.

belated st patty's post
i got an email from kathryn today and it reminded me of when i visited her over my spring break in 2005. i've never been a big st. patty's person, probably because i don't really like large quantities of beer and i rarely own any green clothing. in fact, in 2005 i rarely owned anything that wasn't red, as my vintage red leather with black faux fur coat in the picture above demonstrates (i was also wearing red plaid pants). but since i was visiting kat, and there wasn't a whole lot to do in pittsburgh, we went to whatever town square/park that was holding a giant party and joined the celebration. in the snow. you can tell i love kathryn dearly as there are few people in the world for whom i would spend hours outside in the cold and snow, drinking beer.

Photo: Quim Sabria presents EDpuzzle to an audience of investors and ed tech stakeholders at Imagine K12's Educator's Day
In five months, my life shifted drastically. I exchanged my beloved students, the chalk and the noisy halls of a public school in Barcelona for elevator pitches with business angels in Palo Alto. With three of my best friends, I launched EDpuzzle, an educational technology designed to empower teachers (like me) to use videos more effectively in the classroom. I wasn't sure that we had something to teach in the heart of Silicon Valley, but I was certain that we had enough energy and enthusiasm to learn from this unique ecosystem.
In our first week in the Bay Area, we barely slept. It wasn't the jet lag--we had to finish our MVP (Minimum Viable Product), the core features of our product, in just seven days. I don't know from experience how a mother feels when she gives birth to a baby, but I'm pretty sure it was a comparable moment: painful, exhausting, beautiful.
Those parental feelings didn't fade. When EDpuzzle was ready for testing, it was hard to receive feedback from our first users. Eventually, we learned that if we wanted to enhance our product, we had to expose it to the criticism of others, filter the feedback we received, and build a better solution. After a month of constant iteration, we felt we had developed a decent product that would allow any teacher to take a public video from the internet, edit it, record a custom narration, and even embed questions to assess student learning. Our solution would also enable teachers to track their student's viewing history and quiz results.
Just a month after our arrival, we discovered what makes the Bay Area a special place: innovation is in its culture. We were given the opportunity to pitch our product in front of 300 tech-savvy teachers at the Educator's Day of Imagine K12. Despite what some people believe, many teachers dedicate their free time to events like this one --a heterogeneous mixture of startups and teachers brainstorming new ideas -- where they can learn about new trends in the edtech space that will enhance their teaching. In just four minutes, we presented EDpuzzle and reached hundreds of early adopters. It was an intense and rewarding experience because we connected with educators who wanted to innovate and were ready to test our product in their classrooms.
After two months spent visiting schools, learning from teachers, and adding over three million lines of code to our initial MVP, EDpuzzle achieved more than 4,000 users and contained 1,500 video-lessons (half the size of Khan Academy!).
At this point, educators were finding EDpuzzle so useful and engaging that statistically, a new video was assigned every minute at a school around the World. We decided it was the perfect time to talk to our first investors. Fortunately, we had the opportunity to present our project in front of the best venture capital firms and business angels in the Bay Area, which meant that for five minutes, hundreds of the wealthiest people on earth would be listening to my words. Surprisingly, it was easier than teaching a class of 30 high school students on a Friday afternoon.
Despite EDpuzzle's relative success with users, we learned that investors are harder to convince. They hear thousands of brilliant ideas every day and their worst nightmare is to miss the one that will be the next Facebook. It was up to us to convince them that EDPuzzle really was that opportunity. In meeting after meeting, we learned more about our product and the market than we had in the previous four months. It was a great exercise in learning how to polish our business plan and align our product with our vision. After hustling investors for weeks, we raised our first capital. At that point, I looked back and realized how far we had come.
Five months after I closed the door of my classroom, I literally found myself on the other side of the world launching a company. As a teacher in Barcelona, I strived to instill in my students the mindset that setbacks can actually move you forward, inspiring you to come up with new, innovative solutions to a problem. I realized that in many ways I was still practicing what I preached ("modeling," educators call it), thousands of miles away in California. My co-founders and I had reached more than 30,000 users and raised $180,000, not because our first instincts were immediately successful, but because rather than fearing uncertainty, we learned to leverage it as an opportunity to adapt our thinking. Just as it does for my students, the future still holds uncertainty for EDpuzzle, my partners, and me -- which means plenty of new opportunities to hustle, adapt, and grow.

during the Loch Lomond Stade?
In an attempt to resolve the issue of whether a glacier existed in the valley of Bleatarn Gill, central Lake District, during the Loch Lomond Stade (LLS; 12.9-11.7 ka BP) field mapping of moraine ridges and hummocks and cosmogenic isotope surface exposure dating have been conducted. Two distinct areas of moraine in the upper part of the valley, are described in detail for the first time but ages for these features have not been established. Farther down the valley, near Watendlath, a single 10Be exposure age from a glacially-transported boulder suggests that the glacial-depositional landforms in that part of the valley pre-date the LLS and are associated with a valley glacier that persisted, following the Last Glacial Maximum (~27-21 ka BP), until ~15.6-15.0 ka. On the basis of this age determination it seems that any glacier ice in the valley during the LLS was restricted to the upper reaches of the catchment, but additional direct dating of the landforms is desirable in order to confirm or refute this proposal.
Since 2000 Preston Bus Station has twice been threatened with demolition as part of proposed regeneration schemes in the city. Both times there has been sustained public resistance against its destruction. Based on interviews and participant observation, the research on which this paper draws asked why a formerly unloved and unprotected example of Brutalist 1960s architecture has become a public icon. The paper identifies and explores the diverse range and significance of peoples' articulations and actions ranging from the local to global; from economic argument to affective and embodied interventions. These articulations are often non-expert, diffuse, expressed within social networks, as well as in inventive performative actions. Such activity has tacitly and productively blurred together forming an 'assemblage' of resistance. This assemblage of disparate agents represents a fresh public re-evaluation and democratisation of the building's value, in addition to rejecting the building's planned demise. More broadly we suggest that this 'non-' or 'tacit' campaign also contests prevalent retailled, investment-driven urban regeneration and articulates different possibilities for the Bus Station within Preston and its putative redevelopment.
