Course Offerings
Economics studies human behavior in many settings. At the household level, economics investigates how a household allocates its income across goods, and how a household chooses how much to work, spend, and save. At the market level, economics investigates consumer decisions (what to buy and how much to spend); decisions firms make about their production methods and levels of output; and how these decisions jointly determine market prices, structure, and performance. At the aggregate level, economics investigates the determinants of growth and fluctuations of national income, the determinants of inflation and unemployment, the nature of trade and financial flows between nations, and how all of these are influenced by government monetary and fiscal policy.
At its heart, however, economics is more than a set of questions, but rather is a mode of thought, a set of precise analytical tools that can be used to study a wide variety of social science problems. Students are introduced to these tools in the core methodology courses of Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Econometrics. With these tools in hand, students are then able to study a wide variety of topics including labor-market outcomes, the role of the banking sector, the economics of developing countries, international trade, the role of the public sector and of the political process, economic history, and the study of health and education. In addition, students have the option for advanced methodological study in dynamic optimization, game theory, and econometrics.

Fall Back
Tweeds. Wool socks. Extra hankerchiefs — for blowing, not showing.
Wool ties. Viyella shirts. Question becomes "which sweater," not "sweater?"
Moleskins, corduroys, flannels. Breeks! (ideal for wearing with long socks under breathable chest waders for you late season fishermen — unlike pants, they don't ride up)
Odd vests. Heavy oxford cloth shirts. Hats.
I'll be heartily sick of it soon enough but for now it's fun to be in transition.

Thanks Patrick for the feedback. Coincidentally, my three battered beauties are also from Hanna. I was inspired to buy my first one after seeing the late Senator Daniel Moynihan don one after departing an event at McSorleys in 1979 or 1980. Have been hooked on them ever since.

One of the major software feature addition in Windows Phone Update 3 is Driving Mode, which is designed to reduce distractions when in a car or other vehicle. Driving Mode is automatically triggered when the phone is connected to a pre-defined Bluetooth accessory (e.g. car kit).
The Windows Phone Blog post describing Driving Mode notes that it is "designed to limit notifications on the lock screen—including texts, calls, and quick status alerts—until you're safely parked".
Driving Mode can also be configured to send automatic replies to people who call or text you while driving, so that you can let them know you are "behind the wheel" and will get back to them as soon as possible.
More on Windows Phone 8 Update 3 (GDR3)
We covered the key new features and updates added by Windows Phone 8 Update 3 (GDR3) in our original news story. The update will start being delivered over the air to existing devices next month. However, developers and interested consumers can get early access to the update through the Windows Phone Developer Preview Program.
In terms of the consumer roll out of the update HTC and Samsung devices are likely to get Windows Phone 8 Update 3 first. Nokia's Lumia devices will get the update a short time later, a result of Nokia's plan to include a number of its own updates and enhancements alongside the Microsoft update (i.e. as with the Lumia Amber update, Nokia will be delivering a significant firmware update on top of the Microsoft update).

Weekly Update #1
Hey everyone!
So instead of tagging the discord every day to give you guys updates, it's easier and better to start using the forums more. From now on every week I will make an update post with all the progress we have made towards the revamp, along with any news.
First up, what is going on with the revamp? Well.. as you all know the server was left alone for a good few months, and it's not really in the best way. So me and Chris decided the best thing for it would be a total revamp of the entire network. This includes resetting every server.
The hub is getting a total makeover with sexy new builds and some dope hub features. Skyblock will also be getting a total makeover, we have listened to your opinions so be ready for a blast from the past. Mostly everyone hated OP Prison so you will be pleased to know we have completely scrapped it and we will be going back to the OG Prison days. Creative and Survival will be making a return! More updates on that soon.
QNA I will answer some of the main questions here.
How long will this all take? Currently there is no ETA on the revamp, due to the vast amount there is to do we're looking at a minimum of 3 weeks.
Will bans reset? You hacking losers will be pleased to know they will! All bans, mutes and warnings will reset. This does not include chargebacks.
Whats going on with the staff team? You will see a drastic change within the team over the next few weeks. To start with, All staff ranks apart from helpers will be global. All staff managers will be in charge of a section of the server. Eg skyblock, factions, prison, creative and survival.
Who tf are you? My names James, most people call me Jelly. I've been around Minecraft for just over 6 years and managing servers for a good 3. I don't like idiots or Furrys so if you're either of them stay away!
And just to finish off, if you guys have ANY questions regarding myself or the server please don't hesitate to ask!

Galaxy Evolution Across Time
Paris, 12-16th June 2017
The conference will concentrate on the different physical mechanisms driving galaxy evolution, the role of environment and on the evolution of dark matter halo hosts.
The conference will take place at a time when new results from major surveys first become available: the HST Frontier Fields, the Dark Energy Survey (DES), MANGA, SAMI, CALIFA, and the ESO imaging and spectroscopy public surveys. ALMA results will shed light on environmental effects on the gas content of galaxies. Important results are also expected from other major programs using novel instrumentation that has been recently installed on the large mirrors, including MUSE on the ESO VLT and the new generation of infrared spectrographs such as MOSFIRE on Keck.
We will discuss the most recent results and compare them with model predictions, in preparation for the launch of three cornerstone space missions: JWST, Euclid and WFIRST. The synergy of these missions with LSST, PFS, DESI, e-Rosita and the large radio telescope SKA will change our field in the years to come.
Special emphasis will be given to environment and its impact on star formation and galaxy morphology. We will discuss how the interplay of galaxy cluster components influences galaxy evolution.
The major topics covered by the conference will be:
• Galaxy evolution – recent models and observations
• Star formation, gas and IGM
• The role and sources of feedback, such as stellar and AGN feedback
• The role of environment
• The role of galaxy mass and halo mass
• Galaxy clusters – the interplay of cluster components
• Preparation for the next space- and ground-based surveys


text: The Electroshock Spotlight: Randy Bates- Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride September 25, 2018The Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride is an iconic attraction that has built the groundwork for those who hope to achieve excellence in the haunt industry. Randy Bates is the forefather of the modern haunted attraction industry an icon that has built such a massive enterprise that his influence spans well beyond the haunt itself. An innovator in attraction design, Mr. Bates has continued to push the envelope in creating attractions that are "larger than life" and help others develop systems that promote professionalism, safety, and quality within the industry. In 2019, Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride, once again raised the bar in hayride design, bringing to life a "Jurassic Park" inspired scene that is perhaps more impressive than one would expect at a mainstream amusement park. Further innovations in the "Escape Room's" industry have continued to highlight Mr. Bates and his team's incredible ability to remain a leader in this industry, and we are proud to feature him in this special edition of the Electroshock Spotlight. Randy Bates is an innovator and iconic figure in the haunted attraction season. With one of the finest "Haunted Hayrides" around, The Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride are one of the must-see haunted attractions in the country.Can you provide a background on the history of the attraction? We opened the Haunted Hayride in 1991 with 25 actors and four tractors and wagons. In 1996, after attending our first Transworld Tradeshow in Chicago, we decided to open the "Bates Motel Haunted House." In 2000, we added the third attraction, the "Haunted Trail." Since then, we've added tons of new scenes and sets, and upgrade each year. We built a new gift shop and added to our food concessions. Last year, we created four cutting-edge escape rooms in West Chester.What are the primary reasons you launched your attraction? What were your inspirations and guiding principles? Being a small farm, we were looking for additional revenue. We also enjoy scaring people and entertaining the public, so this was a great fit. Our event is a total team effort. We have a build crew that brainstorms each year then begin construction in the spring. Our primary guiding principle is to leave your ego at the door. Also, since we build a majority of our props, and all of our masks, makeup appliances, and costumes, we are truly an original attraction.How have you been able to successfully keep the Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride, fresh, unique experience for customers each season? Every year we add more sets and props and upgrade or change older ones. This year we tore down the village scene and built a massive cave and canyon, complete with waterfalls and dinosaurs.What other roles do you currently have in the industry? It is my understanding that you helped pioneer the modern safety laws governing haunted attractions. How did you help develop these guidelines? Every year I teach Haunted House code compliance at the Pennsylvania State safety seminars. I helped write the inspector's test and also teach Hayride and outdoor events safety. I too am the chairman for the ASTM International committee for hayride safety. We hope to have a complete hayride safety document soon. Besides the haunt industry, I am an 18 year veteran of Edgemont Fire Company 64, Serve on the board of supervisors as well as the Delco Conservation District. I'm a founding member of the Haunted Attraction Association. You have a growing "Escape Room" business in West Chester, PA. How did you get into this sector of the entertainment industry? What is your philosophy behind a good "escape room"? Several of my friends around the country told me that this is the latest and greatest thing. I love it because it provides year-round income. I think that a great escape room needs to be unique, highly detailed and lots of interactive devices instead of locks. Our Countdown! The room is high tech, with three computers running it as well as a surround speaker system and eight individual speakers for sound effects. Our room completely immerses your senses.You have always been at the forefront of the haunted attraction industry. Where do you see the industry headed over the next five years? I see some growth over the next five years. We now have parents, who came here as children coming back and bringing out their kids.What are the most significant challenges facing haunt owners today? Liability, rising costs, potential restrictions with building codes and enforcement.Do you think that social media has played a decisive role in the haunt industry with instant access to reviews? Social media has helped some attractions and hurt others. If there is a great attraction out there, people know about it. We provide a survey when you purchase tickets online: How old are you, how did you hear about us and what are you scared off? Overwhelmingly the way they heard about us was from a friend. Radio was about 5%Describe a basic operational night. 9:00 am: Build crew arrives to inspect the attractions, blow leaves off the hayride trail, put down gravel in the trail, and make any repairs necessary. 2:00 pm the makeup staff arrive and produce our custom appliances, wash costumes, and prepare for the night. 4:30 pm, the first wave of actors arrive to get makeup and into costume. Also, our tractor driver manager arrives to fuel all 12 tractors and hitch up to the wagons. 5:30 pm the concession staff arrive and clean the stand and prepare the batter for funnel cakes. All fryers are turned on, soda is loaded into the coolers, and all food is prepped. 6:00 pm, the concession stand opens as well as the gift shop, coffin rides, and mobile escape rooms. 6:30 pm, the "Bates Motel" opens for customers. 6:45 (or dusk) the hayride opens and after that, the trail opens. Weeknights, the box office closes at 9:30 and all customers are finished by 10:30. Weekends end much later. On busy nights, we order 40-50 pizzas for the staff.What is your strategy to prepare actors for the season? We interview and audition all actors during the summer. At several meetings, our lead actors brake off with smaller groups for training. We have managers who talk about hydrating, stretching and wearing the proper shoes and clothing. All staff is trained in the use of fire extinguishers, evacuation, and safety.Any advice for those looking to get into the industry? Go big or go home! Seriously, you need to research local zoning regulations, follow building codes and plan everything out.

Rescued slow loris survives, in spite of being shot three times
A female slow loris rescued in Jakarta and brought to our primate centre in Ciapus has been shot at least three times, apparently with a compressed air gun. IAR's vet discovered the wounds and the bullets still lodged in her body while he was examining her and has expressed amazement that she is still alive and fighting to survive.
International Animal Rescue's rescue team picked up the loris from her owner who claimed to have found her on the street. This is the story most local people come out with when they are caught in possession of an endangered species.
IAR's vet, Ovidiu, reports that the loris, named Remi is in "pretty bad condition. There are two toes missing from one foot, with a laceration underneath the sole, and some other open wounds on the palms of both hands (finger bones open and quite a deep laceration on the other palm). There is also a big displacement of the mandibula, not to count the destruction of the teeth."
It was when the little loris was being xrayed that the extent of her injuries was discovered. She had been shot at least three times and had three lead bullets lodged under the thoracic skin, beneath an armpit and the last in her cranium.The deviation of the mandibula, the scars and the missing fingers could all be a result of the blast of the bullet.
One question sprang instantly into the vet's mind – how on the earth was the little loris still alive?
The surgical team removed the thoracic bullet and tried to close the open wounds. They put the loris on antibiotics and analgesics. Her condition is now stable.
Remarkably, Remi is displaying an incredible will to live. She cannot eat whole fruits, but devours everything soft, including fruit-mix, by herself. Her foot and hand have been bandaged and because she isn't at all aggressive, it is possible to change her dressings every day. The team believe it's worth giving her a chance. If she recovers well, the vet will try to remove the other two bullets.
Alan Knight, Chief Executive of International Animal Rescue, said: "This is an appalling act of animal cruelty that has shocked us all. Remi deserves the chance to survive and we are going to give it to her. It will be touch and go, but she is in the best hands and our vets are doing all they can for her."

Democrats accuse GOP of ignoring voters' message in November
By John Flesher
Associated Press
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — It may take days, weeks or even longer to sort out the avalanche of bills enacted in the Michigan Legislature's lame-duck session, as majority Republicans put their stamp on policies dealing with topics as diverse as property taxes, medical marijuana and even cockfighting.
A bitter clash over making Michigan the 24th state with a "right-to-work" law, which drew thousands of protesters to the Capitol and drew national attention, overshadowed the remainder of a lengthy agenda that included a rewritten measure allowing appointment of emergency managers for cities in financial peril.
Other bills sent to Gov. Rick Snyder for his signature imposed further restrictions on abortion, prohibited novice teen drivers from using a cell phone while behind the wheel, boosted a development project that could include a new arena for the Detroit Red Wings and designated the gray wolf a game species, which could lead to hunting seasons for the once-endangered predator.
"Many significant reforms were enacted that will provide for a safer, healthier and more prosperous future for all residents and will be instrumental in continuing Michigan's comeback and creating more and better jobs," Snyder said after lawmakers finally headed for home around 4:30 a.m. Friday, after 18 consecutive hours of debates, votes and closed-door strategy sessions.
Democrats accused GOP colleagues of ignoring the voters' message from the November election, in which President Barack Obama carried Michigan by a wide margin and Republicans lost five seats in the state House. They said it was no coincidence that one of the last bills Republicans pushed through would make it tougher to unseat elected officials, reducing from 90 days to 60 days the period in which people would have to gather enough petition signatures to force a recall vote.
"Cowardly, selfish, downright swinefully arrogant," complained Sen. Tupac Hunter, a Detroit Democrat.
Here's a look at some of the bills that became law in the just-ended session. Gov. Rick Snyder has signed some into law, while others remain to be considered.
RIGHT TO WORK: Nonunion employees no longer can be forced to pay service fees to unions, even though those workers get the same pay raises and other benefits that members receive. Snyder and GOP lawmakers said the new policy would make unions more responsive to members while improving Michigan's business climate. Opponents said it would encourage workers to "freeload" and undermine unions by leaving them with less money to bargain for good wages.
EMERGENCY MANAGERS: After voters struck down a law Snyder championed that let him appoint emergency managers with authority to overrule elected local officials in financially distressed cities and school districts, the Legislature approved a new version. It gives local governments several options, including accepting a manager, declaring bankruptcy, undergoing mediation and entering a consent decree as Detroit has done.
ABORTION: A location where at least 120 abortions are performed annually would have to obtain a state license as a freestanding outpatient surgical facility, requiring further inspections and imposing higher costs. Patients would have to undergo counseling with a health professional, who would make sure the woman isn't being coerced to get an abortion.
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY TAX: It's called a "personal property tax" but covers industrial equipment, and it would be eliminated over a decade, saving businesses about $600 million a year when the phaseout is complete. Manufacturers say the tax discourages investment and job creation, while local governments worry about losing funds for police and fire protection and other services. The bill would reimburse most of the revenue and allow special local assessments.
MEDICAL MARIJUANA: Legislators approved the first revisions of Michigan's medical marijuana law since voters endorsed use of the drug in 2008. State-issued cards given to people who have a doctor's endorsement for marijuana use would be good for two years instead of one. Caregivers who are allowed to grow marijuana for up to five people would be disqualified if they committed a felony within the past 10 years or if they committed an assault.
TEEN DRIVERS: Inexperienced teen drivers, who have a Level 1 or Level 2 license, would be prohibited from talking on cell phones while behind the wheel. Violators would be fined. The measure was dubbed "Kelsey's Law," honoring Kelsey Raffaele, a 17-year-old girl who was killed in a crash that happened as she talked on her cell phone while driving.
GRAY WOLVES: With the population of gray wolves in the Upper Peninsula estimated at 700, lawmakers authorized hunting the predators for the first time since bounty programs nearly drove them to extinction in the lower 48 states. The appointed Natural Resources Commission will make the final call on whether to schedule hunting seasons, which probably would be held only in areas where wolves are repeatedly attacking livestock.
ANIMAL FIGHTING: They didn't draw much attention, but three bills were passed that toughen penalties for those who organize animal fights, allowing police to seize assets and shut down any location connected with dog or cock fighting.

2017 Princeton Review's Best 381 Colleges
The Princeton Review has released The Best 381 Colleges — 2017 Edition. According to the press release, the book contains 62 rankings based on surveys completed by 143,000 students at the 381 schools (375 per school) (methodology here), including these categories:
- Best (Sarah Lawrence) classroom experience
- Best (Wellesley), worst (New Jersey Institute of Technology) professors
- Most (U.S. Military Academy), least U.S. Merchant Marine Academy) accessible professors
- Best (Virginia Tech) quality of life
- Most (Rice), least (Montana Tech) happy students
- Students love (Virginia Tech) their school
- Most (Rhodes), least (University of Dallas) beautiful campus
- Best (Elon), worst (Hanover) run school
- Most liberal (Sarah Lawrence), most conservative (BYU) students
- Most (Thomas Aquinas), least (Reed) religious
- Students study the most (U.S. Military Academy), least (Trinity College Dublin)
- Most (Vassar), least (SUNY-Purchase) financial aid
- Most (Sarah Lawrence), least (Wheaton) LGBT-Friendly
- Most (Rice), least (Catholic) race/class interaction
- Best (Chicago), worst (Bradley) library
- Best (UMass), worst (Hampden-Sydney) food
- Best (Washington University), worst (College of the Ozarks) dorms
- Biggest (Wisconsin), least (BYU) party school
- Most (Ithaca), least (U.S. Coast Guard Academy) marijuana on campus
- Most (Tulane), least (BYU) hard liquor on campus
- Most (Wisconsin), least (BYU) beer on campus
I am considering demanding a recount: Pepperdine is ranked as only the eighth most beautiful campus. Really?
I agree that Pepperdine was short changed. The precedent has been set on how to handle these kinds of situations. Take to twitter at 4 AM and tweet, "The vote was rigged yada yada. People voted illegally. This is FAKE NEWS." Then conclude your tweet with "SAD!"
Posted by: anon JD/MD | May 9, 2017 6:30:22 AM
I haven't looked at the other lists but the "most beautiful campus" list has an obvious eastern bias.

Not one but two different announcements have been made today. One announcement is from Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto and the big announcement to Bleach. Here is the scoop.
In a interview in the recent issue of Shueisha' Jump GIGA, Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto announced and confirmed that he is planning on doing a project. He already did research and he said is ready to announce it but he didn't specify when.
Announced last week, Shueisha's Weekly Jump announced that on issue 38 will have the post-chapter of the conclusion to the Bleach. Also last week, the manga announced of a special announcement in regards to Bleach. Fans had speculated that the announcement was going to be the return of the anime Bleach. The anime ended on 2012. Now in a earlier issue, the announcement is…
NOT an anime return
Instead, the announcement is the plans of an upcoming live-action movie of Tite Kubo's Bleach. The live action is planned to be released and shown in theaters 2018.

Regarding COVID-19: Please recreate responsibly and practice social distancing. Closures and travel restrictions are changing rapidly, always check and respect local regulations.
Originally added by Tate Yoder
Distance: 2-3 miles roundtrip. Duration: Overnight. Elevation change: 600ft (to top). Amazing views of Lake St. Catherine and Adirondack Mountains. Clearing at the top that faces the west = great views of the sunset. Platform on summit for four people to sleep on and watch the stars.
Looking for the best view in all of Poultney, Vermont? Look no further than Lake St. Catherine Mountain. Located within Deane's Nature Preserve, this fast and easy hike tops as one of the best views and camping spots for the little time and energy needed to reach the summit. Only 30-45 minutes from the bottom, this hikes quickly climbs roughly 600 ft to a clearing that looks west, best for sunset and star viewing. A platform and plenty of extra space at the top allows for easy camping and chill out opportunities.
Located 4.5 miles away from downtown Poultney, a quick 10 minute drive on Route 30 will get you to Endless Brook Rd. on the left. Once on Endless Brook Rd; travel up .8 of a mile to reach the parking lot for Deane's Nature Preserve on the right. Go down the driveway, cross over a small bridge, and select one of the two trails to go on. From the sign, there is an easier trail on the left that zigzags up the mountain, where a steeper and quicker climb is on the right. The steeper trail is about a mile to the top, where the more gradual trail is about 1.5 miles.
After a great night of sleep and star gazing, head over to Nancy's Place on Main Street in Poultney for a warm cup of coffee and delicious home made baked-goods.
Bonus Tip! If you start this trail just an hour before sunset, you will arrive at the top with amazing sun rays coming through the trees as you finish off the hike in the woods on a ridge-line. Another perk is when hiking this in the fall, the Milky Way is visible in the south-western part of the sky, and the colors of the trees are unbelievable from this spot.

your gateway to understanding
The MENA Policy Hub's mission is to inspire policy and governance innovations that reinforce democratic values, and universal human rights. We serve as a collaboration hub for the development of norms, guidelines, and laws that enhance freedom, security, and prosperity. The bottom line question that guides this initiative is how do youth can help governments establish governance norms, policies, and processes that allow citizens and society to reap the upside benefits of public policies.
Building evidence-based policy
Our main field of work, is to democratize critical sense and develop a new generation of policy leaders with facts focused analysis. This goal is achieved through a three-step process :
People who talk about us
They are analysts, researchers and leaders, they rub shoulders with us and testify to the quality of our work.
Niccolo Milanese
Chair @ The European Alternatives
YAANI has accompanied participants through several stages from first contact with policy analysis, to learning some of the basic concepts and tools, to applying those tools in individual and group research, giving public presentations and meeting other policy researchers and organisations both in Morocco and the UK. The MENA Policy Hub association established by some of the first YAANI alumni in 2012 has accompanied the program throughout and has grown considerably in its membership, in its capacities for training and analysis and in its contacts and reputation throughout Morocco and more widely over the years…
Joseph hivert
Professor @ Mulhouse Univ
Pierre Tainturier
Sociologist @ CNAM
The quality of writing, analysis, synthesis, argumentation and proposal is on the whole very high, demonstrating the strong skills of the members of the MENA Policy Hub because of:
– Training received in the framework of international cooperation;
– Their level of study in general and the professional position of some of them …
Claire Spencer
Head, Middle East and North Africa Programme @Chatham House, London
As an offshoot of the initially-regionally focused YAANI programme, the MENA Policy Hub has established itself as a point of reference for fine-tuning and exploring new ideas, even though, they are aware, the readiness of Morocco's decision-makers to absorb and act on what emerges is still subject to much older and established ways of doing business in the public policy sphere.
From small beginnings, however, often surprising things result, and understanding how the networks of local and national policy-making actually function is part of an apprenticeship that seeks to establish the legitimacy of a wider civic participation in public life in addition to influencing its focus and outcomes…

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Evanston Wilmette Golf Course Association, we would like to invite you to a news conference/demonstration we are organizing for Sunday, Nov. 11 on the 10th Hole to oppose the request for an easement by the Keefe Family Trust to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District.
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Commissioners are set to meet and vote Thursday, Nov. 15, on whether to grant the easement that would be a precursor to construction of a road to the Keefe property.
WHO: Canal Shores Board members, golfers (including kids), neighbors, community leaders, environmental activists, dog walkers, joggers, nature enthusiasts, anti-paving advocates
WHAT: News conference, demonstration, one-on-one interviews
WHEN: 8 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 11
WHERE: 10th Hole of Canal Shores Golf Course at Maple Avenue and Golf Terrace in Wilmette.
The event will focus on efforts to protest the construction of a 60-by-426-foot area for a road on the 10th fairway of Canal Shores Golf Course because it will effectively destroy the golf hole, ruin environmentally valuable wetlands and 100-year-old oaks, and increase flooding for neighboring homes.
The road would cost Cook County taxpayers about $700,000 – and will serve the purpose of providing access to the landlocked property owned by the Dick Keefe Development Company. Keefe proposes to build four $1-million-plus homes on the site. State Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) has an ownership interest in the Keefe company, according to his Statement of Economic Interests, and is Keefe's lawyer in this matter.
Show your support. Snow or shine!
Once we know the item is formally calendared for the Commissioners' consideration on Nov. 15, we will keep you advised.
Learn more and follow events at www.canalshores.org/dontpave10
BACKGROUND: Canal Shores hosts 12,000 golfers each year, conducts learn-to-play programs for 500 junior golfers annually and serves as a "community green" where walkers, joggers, dog walkers, birdwatchers and nature lovers are welcome. Canal Shores was founded in 1919 on the banks of the North Channel of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. Canal Shores is governed by the Evanston Wilmette Golf Course Association which is established as a charitable organization and qualifies as an exempt organization under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

A simple model of a thermally perfect, calorically imperfect diatomic gas. Comparison with real gases.
Abstract:ESDU AERO 00.01.09 gives theoretical expressions, obtained by consideration of the behaviour of a diatomic molecule, in terms of the characteristic vibrational temperature for the ratio of specific heat capacities, the specific heat at constant pressure and the specific enthalpy. The expressions are plotted for nitrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide alongside experimental curves for the undissociated gases extracted from the literature and are seen to agree closely; for air the experimental data relate to dissociation equilibrium and the effect of pressure is shown in the range 0.01 to 1 atmosphere for the first two properties. For the other gases the effect of pressure in that range is negligible as it is for air in the case of specific enthalpy. Values of the characteristic temperature and of gas constant used are tabulated.

Today is my fifth day in Malawi. I am currently sat on the veranda of room number three at the Mvuu Safari Lodge, watching the sun rise over hippos swimming around the river tributary below my feet.
This is just one of many unique experiences I've encountered over the last few days, so before any more are notched up, I decided to give you a little introduction to Malawi and tell you a bit more about my trip.
|The Shire River, Liwonde National Park
In October 2014, I was invited by South African Airways to go on a trip to explore Zimbabwe, of which you can read all the posts here, and check out my YouTube videos here. Two years on, they invited me back to Africa for the chance to uncover Malawi, so I jumped at the chance.
All of the African countries I've visited all have their own unique cultures, food, drinks, music and way of life. Malawi pitches itself as the 'warm heart of Africa' and from what I've seen and experienced so far, that tagline is pretty accurate.
The population is around 16.5 million people. For a relatively small, slim country that is dominated by a huge fresh water lake, the country is over-populated. That means even when you head out deep into the bush of a National Park or wildlife reserve, there are still people and villages everywhere. The best part about that? They are all welcoming, all friendly, and aren't shy at giving you a bo-bo (meaning 'hi' in Chichewa) and a big grin.
My Malawi journey began South of Blantyre, in the Thyolo region, where I stayed for one night on the Satemwa estate at Huntingdon House, a period boutique property set in 900 acres of tea and coffee plantation.
Moving North, I then stayed for one night in the main commercial city of Blantyre (including experiencing not one, but two nightclubs, which I'll tell you more about in a future post), up to Liwonde National Park, where I'm currently situated, and then I'm heading up to Lake Malawi, staying at two places around the Southern shores of the lake, with one night on the stunning Mumbo Island.
|The sunset over Blantyre
Malawi is a land-locked long, slim African country that borders Mozambique, Zambia and Tanzania in Southern Africa. The country is dominated by Lake Malawi, which is around 365 miles long – the equivalent of the length of England.
I flew with South African Airways from London Heathrow, and changed in Johannesburg. South African Airways currently have a year-round fare of £599 to the end of 2016 to both the capital Llongwe, and Blantyre.
Malawi has its own currency, called the Kwacha. There is currently around 1000 Kwacha to £1. A large bottle of water costs 260 Kwacha – 26p. A local beer will set you back around 2000 Kwacha, or £2.
The country is split into three sections: the North, the Central region, and the South. The North is a little isolated, as the main travel hubs are towards the South, but it has a National Park, a wildlife reserve and a forest reserve to explore. Many have likened the North to Scotland, with it's cooler air, rugged mountains and landscapes.
The central region is dominated by Lake Malawi, on which you can explore different islands, the capital Llongwe and the villages that are dotted along the shoreline.
|The view over Lake Malawi from Danforth Yachting
The Southern region is the most populated and diverse, with the city of Blantyre as the main hub. There is also the former capital Zomba, which has a fantastic market as well as the Zomba Plateau, a mountain that stretches up to 2000m above sea level and is great for all-encompassing views and great hiking.
|Zomba market
There are also several National Parks and wildlife reserves in the South, which are perfect for safari. Majete Wildlife Reserve is located in the South West corner of Malawi, and you can do self-drives here. I'm currently in the popular Liwonde National Park, which has the Shire River running through the middle, providing prime wildlife viewing of hippos, elephants, crocodiles and more.
|The view from Mvuu Lodge, Liwonde National Park
The main diet is a maise-based white food called nsima. Nsima is the first food item on the plate, followed by potatoes, rice, vegetables, beef, lamb, goat, chicken and then spices and then the local hot nali sauce. So far the food has been excellent – I've tried all of the above and even nsima is lovely with a spicy sauce!
Of course! There are several local beers depending on the province you are in. Carlsberg also have a big presence in Malawi, and brew several local brand beers, such as Kuche Kuche in the Blantyre region, and Chill across most of the country.
There are boreholes dotted all over the country, in close proximity to villages and towns, meaning there is plenty of fresh water for everyone. Sustainable farming is prominent in most villages, and expect to find fruit stalls, smoked fish stalls, bamboo and charcoal for sale, as well as a barbers, phone charging place, and straw hats and mats for sale.
There are also a lot of cyclists in Malawi. This is mainly for cheap transport between villages, and for carrying wood, charcoal and other goods. As such, you'll also find one or two bicycle repair huts in even the smallest of villages.
|Playing football with the local kids
I've yet to explore the lake, but it sounds like you can scuba dive, snorkel, wakeboard, go wind surfing, enjoy a boat cruise sundowner, or just chill out and relax at one of the hotel properties next to the white sandy shore. 'Aren't there crocodiles in Lake Malawi though?!', I hear you cry. Apparently not – all the water sources to the lake are fast running and steep in many areas, meaning crocodiles can't reach it, and the lake is nice and safe. A rarity in the middle of Africa!
|Cape McClear, Lake Malawi
If you have any questions about Malawi, feel free to post them in the comments below! I'm going to go back to watching the hippos and listening to the sunrise bird song outside my room 🙂
Disclaimer: I visited Malawi thanks to an invitation from South African Airways and Malawi Tourism. While the trip was sponsored by them, the views and opinions I present here are explicitly my own. To find our more about Malawi, please do visit the Malawi Tourism website.

We thought everyone might run for the exits after news of the gigantic Satyam (SAY) fraud hit, but the company's peers are taking the news alright. In pre-market activity, shares of Wipro (WIT), Patni (PTI) and InfoSys (INFY) were all down this morning, but at mid-day the news isn't having a huge impact.
InfoSys is actually up a few percentage points, while the others are a little in the red. The initial verdict seems to be that Satyam's fraud is a Satyam-specific problem, and not reflect of corporate India or the Indian consulting/outsourcing business specifically.

Forbo Help Combat Work Fever
Forbo Flooring Systems has partnered with Allergy UK to produce a comprehensive report, 'Work Fever', focusing on the prevalence of indoor allergies within the work environment, to support the charity's promotion of healthy indoor environments.
Allergy UK carried out the research amongst office workers – primarily allergy sufferers – to establish how commonplace 'work fever' is and estimates that at least 5.7 million people in the UK could be allergic to their workplace.
From nasal problems, eye conditions, dry throats, breathing difficulties, lethargy, headaches and skin irritations; 95 per cent of those questioned had experienced one or more of these symptoms in the office, but alarmingly, over half of the group surveyed had experienced an allergic reaction whilst at work.
Maureen Jenkins, Director of Clinical Services, Allergy UK says: "The results are of concern for Allergy UK because it is difficult for individuals to exercise the same control over their workplace as they would do at home. Management of allergies becomes increasingly difficult when in communal spaces, so it's not surprising that a great deal of allergy sufferers have experienced a reaction at work."

Who is God?
No question is more important, yet, its stunning how few really take time to learn the answer to this question. In fact, most people rely more on who they think God should be like, rather then looking for any real substantial answer. For some, God is simply "the man up stairs", or an unkown force, while, for others He doesn't even exists. Watch this video and answer for yourself who He is.

Hey, stats/math folks (and sociologists)! I need some help.
First, statistics:
So I'm starting statistics next week. I'm not a math person. I have a tutor lined up, I'm planning on going to office hours, etc. I need a C or higher to knock out another requirement, and to basically pass the class.
But, no one can give me a good answer about what statistics is. Like, what I'm in for. The definition, the concept, etc. I opened up my textbook and it's all Greek to me-or Cyrillic, pick your poison regarding foreign alphabets. I tried to read the definition in the book, but got even more confused. I need plain speak about what it is, and how it works. I've gotten answers (from my math-oreiented cousin and his wife) saying 'well, it's putting into words things that can't be said in words'. My tutor was even more vague, saying 'it's not that hard'. Sooooooo...kinda in a pickle.
Statistics: how does it work? What is it? What are some examples (like, is it percentages?) Do I need to use Excel? If I do, I'm going to have to figure that gem out.
Please, math wiz Jezzies, be my Obi Wans! You're my only-ish hope!
Second, sociology:
Ok, I kinda understand this. But not really. I'm taking intro to sociology in the fall, but I would love to hear from some sociologists about what to be prepared for. I guess that's about it.
Also, sorry if this post showed up twice! Stupid internet.

Minors hoping for highlights in Colombia
Dage Minors is focused on continuing his superb season in his two middle-distance events at the Central American and Caribbean Games in Barranquilla, Colombia.
Minors has enjoyed several highlights this season, setting a school record in his final outing for Franklin Pierce University at the NCAA Division II Championships in Charlotte, North Carolina, in May.
The 22-year-old, who will run in the 800 and 1,500 metres in Barranquilla, shattered his own 800 record at the event to earn All-American First Team honours for the sixth time in his collegiate career.
He also became the first Bermudian to win the KPMG Front Street Mile elite men�s race in January before breaking his indoor record in the 800 in 1min 47sec at the David Hemery Valentine Invitational in Boston a month later.
�I�ve had a lot of highlights this season,� Minors said. �I�m very excited to be heading to CAC games. My goals and ambitions are the same, which is to put myself in a position to do well and usually the time will take care of itself.
�In championship races you never know what can happen. Sometimes they are tactical.�
�I don�t know much about my rivals. I�ve seen a few of the rankings that they have for the region and think that I can compete. I try not to pay much attention to my rivals.�
Minors had his first taste of a multi-sport event at the World University Games in Taiwan last August but missed the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, Australia, in April because of school commitments.
He hopes the CAC Games can be the start of a successful international career for Bermuda and has already set his sights on reaching the Pan Am Games in Lima, Peru, next summer and the Toyko Olympic Games in 2020.
�My plans athletically are to continue representing my country at a high level,� he said. �Obviously the Olympics is the ultimate goal for any athlete so, of course, I will aim for that.
�I�m still only 22, so I think I can look at both 2020 and 2024.�
Also included in Bermuda�s squad for the CAC Games is Ki-Juan Minors, Dage�s older brother, who will compete in show jumping. �I�m extremely excited that my brother and I will be competing,� Minors added: �Unfortunately the equestrian is like two hours away from the main village via a flight, so I�m not sure if I will make it.
�But for our family it�s a proud moment and something that we will surely reminisce about in the years to come.�
Despite having best years in front of him, Minors has one eye on the future and has accepted an assistant coaching position at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire.
�I will be assistant coach so I�ll have a lot of responsibilities and will be aiding my head coach and connecting with the athletes on a more individual level,� he said. �When all is said and done in my running career, I�ll look to become a coach, so getting a head start now while also training and competing will not hurt.�
The CAC Games run from July 19 to August 3 and will involve almost 6,000 athletes from 37 nations competing in 470 events.

In the early 19th century, the Scottish naturalist and explorer John Richardson traveled with Sir William Franklin in search of the Northwest Passage. He recorded the scientific findings of these expeditions in two works: Flora boreali-americana (1833-1840) and Fauna boreali-americana (1829-1837). The latter is a four-volume text about the animals of North America and the Arctic. Although John Richardson was the primary author, the ornithologist William John Swainson assisted with part two (The Birds), and the entomologist William Kirkby assisted with part four (The Insects).
UBC Library Rare Books and Special Collections holds copies of the four volumes of Flora boreali-Americana. Both texts have been digitized as part of the BC Historical Books collection. For this post, we have selected a few of our favorite images and descriptions from each volume. You can click on each image to jump to the page in Open Collections, where you can read the authors' descriptions of the animals.
Part I: Mammalia
Grisly Bear
Rocky-Mountain Neotoma
"It is very destructive. In the course of a single night, the fur traders who have encamped in a place frequented by these animals have sustained much loss, by their packs of furs being gnawed, their blankets cut in pieces, and many small articles carried entirely" away. Mr. Drummond placed a pair of stout English shoes on the shelf of a rock, and, as he thought, in perfect security, but on his return, after an absence of a few days, he found them gnawed into fragments as fine as saw-dust."
Rocky-Mountain Goat
Part Second: The Birds
Great Cinereous Owl
"It is common on the borders of Great Bear Lake; and there and in the higher parallels of latitude it must pursue its prey, during the summer months, by daylight. It keeps, however, within the woods, and does not frequent the barren grounds, like the Snowy Owl, nor is it so often met with in broad daylight as the Hawk-Owl, but hunts principally when the sun is low; indeed, it is only at such times, when the recesses of the woods are deeply shadowed, that the American hare and the murine animals, on which the Cinereous Owl chiefly preys, come forth to feed."
The Arctic Blue-bird
The Common Golden Eye
Part Third: The Fish
American Perch
"This fish has a close resemblance to the river Perch of Europe. Our specimen was taken in Lake Huron, where it frequents steep banks and affords much sport to the angler from the eagerness with which it snaps at the bait. In the month of May it spawns and then resorts in great numbers to the mouths of rivulets. It does not, as far as I could learn, exist in any of the streams that flow into Hudson's Bay or the Arctic sea, and most probably it does not range farther north than the 49th or 50th parallels of latitude, between which the rivers that fall into the chain of Great Canadian Lakes originate."
Ross's Arctic Salmon
Back's Grayling
This volume also includes some exceptionally creepy illustrations – while not included in this blog post, you can view them in Open Collections if you are curious!

Napoli – Bologna : Preview & Prediction
Napoli and Bologna meet at the Stadio San Paolo in a match for the 19th matchday of Serie A. At this stage, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, who has recorded 3 wins in the last 3 games. In fact, the last time they met in this stadium was on 28-01-2018, in a match for Serie A, which ended Napoli's win by (3-1). The goals of the match were scored by I. M'baye (5 'Autogolo) and D. Mertens (37' and 59 ') for Napoli and R. Palacio (1') for Bologna. In this meeting the home factor could play an important role, since both teams present significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.
The home team is currently in 2nd place with 41 points, after 13 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate game, won at home against SPAL by (1-0). In the latter, he lost out against the Internazionale by (1-0). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when they play with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games has recorded 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses as a visitor, with 20 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 12 wins and 3 draws in his stadium, with 36 goals scored and 7 conceded.
For this competition, you have not lost any of the last 9 games in your stadium. His attack has scored regularly, as he has managed to achieve in 8 of the last 10 games for this competition. In 18 games, he conceded his first goal 6 times but managed to get back to score 3. There has been a highlight of the last 13 home matches for all competitions: he suffered 3 of his 6 goals in minutes (46 '-60').
Napoli start with a 1-0 reverse on the way to Inter Milan, putting an end to their four previous successes in the Italian championship. In the last 10 games, homemakers have only lost 2. In this meeting before his public, it is expected that coach Carlo Ancelotti will play in the usual tactical system, that is, 4-4-2, benefiting possession of the ball and organized attacks: Fabián Ruiz is a key player in the home team. Milik is the team's top scorer in the league with 8 goals scored. For this game the manager of the house can not count on Insigne and Koulibaly, punished, besides Hamsik and Chiriches, these with physical problems.
The visiting team is currently in 18th place with 13 points, after 2 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate game, tied off against Parma by (0-0). In the last game, lost at home against Lazio by (0-2). This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 1 win, 5 draws and 9 losses as a visitor; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats in his stadium. In the last 9 away games for the championship Bologna have 4 draws and 5 defeats, so they have won 4 points out of 27.
For this competition, you have not won as a visitor for 9 games. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 games for this competition. This is a team that scores a few times first: it only opened the scoring in 4 of its last 18 games for Serie A, of those 4 it reached the interval in advantage in 2 and won in the end of the 90 'in 1. In 18 matches in this competition , suffered the first goal 10 times and only managed 1 turnaround.
Bologna leave for the day with a 0-2 defeat at Lazio, registering their eleventh game without a win in the Italian championship. Playing outside doors, visitors only score 4 points in 9 games. In this meeting against Naples, the set to orders of Filippo Inzaghi should be presented with a low block, exploring the best way the space on the opponent's back: Mattiello is the main player in this type of transition. It is important to emphasize that the Bologna has some competence in the counterattack and the standing balls. Santander are Bologna's top scorer with 4 goals conceded. For this game the coach can count on all his players.
Napoli – Bologna : Betting Tips
Napoli – Win Odds: 1.25
Both teams to score / YES – Odds: 1.70
Over 2.5 Goals – Odds: 1.70

Wheels of parmesan cheese are not small, which means it takes a lot of power to slice the wheels into wedges for retail and wholesale distribution. For centuries these wheels have been cut and portioned by hand with specialized cheese tools, but there is another way! The FoodTools CS-3SA Parmesan cutting machine is an industrial slicer with the power and precision to efficiently cut hard cheeses such as parmesan. The photo below of a wheel of parmesan sliced into blocks is from a test demonstration on the CS-3SA. The machine uses a powerful pneumatic system to slice through products using one stainless steel cutting blade. The pressure of the thin blade cutting through the cheese gives a precise cut for each portion.
Parmesan Cutting Machine
For cheese facilities with various types of cheeses and multiple cut patterns and portion sizes the CS-3SA offers flexibility with little change over time. A custom built product holder gives the perfect support to different types and sizes of cheese. The touch screen computer system gives the operator easy access to different cut patterns and portion sizes and can be changed with the push of a button. The machine is wash down and works well in cheese facilities. To test cut your cheese on this machine contact a FoodTools representative.
