Trade Show Stand Design
Filter out relevant targets and attract prospects onto your stand. View Alexanders' portfolio of signage and trade show stand work.
Dive HQ Christchurch Careers Expo stand
For the 2015 Christchurch Careers Expo - we wanted to showcase some stunning underwater photography, and key Dive Instructor positions. Attracting potential recruits to the Dive Instructor course, by holding a competition to win an underwater camera.
Meridian Energy Irrigation Conference trade stand
These extra long four metre banners attracted high-power-use farmers with central pivots at an Irrigation trade show to talk to Meridian about power savings. We organised a photo shoot of the top banner with my cousin, well known dairy entrepreneur Doug Turner, to get an appropriate central pivot shot that would work at large scale (long and lean), and provide a local backdrop.
Terrace View Retirement Village Highway Sign
This sign is onsite at a retirement village under construction in Ashburton, advising locals of the website and real estate agent.
Donaghys Pull up & External Banners
Donaghys has a major stand at Mystery Creek and the A&P show. This corporate stand was used both in Australia and New Zealand displays.
Dynamic Controls trade show stand design
As electronic componentry for wheel chairs, Dynamic controls wanted to show off its technology without appearing as a wheelchair manufacturer. This trade show stand for Europe and North America featured abstract photography, key products with outlines showing where the product fitted in wheelchairs, and the new logo (representing joystick/motion and electronic circuitry).
McRaeway Homes Trade Show Stand
The client needed a cost effective solution for their trade show. They blew up pages from the brochure we produced and used the best image to great effect.
"The banner was a big hit at the home show in Dunedin. Combined with the riverstones and grasses on the floor, man's shoes and shirt created a simple 3D effect that was very appealing. The story brochure boards were blown up to A0 and mounted, which were striking to look at and also provided visitors with an overview of what McRaeway Homes is. Also simple to erect and break down, everything fitted into one vehicle for a quick getaway. Thanks for your help with designing. We love our new look and are receiving lots of compliments." Raewyn Bell, Sales Manager, McRaeway
Four Seasons Molasses Trade Stands
Gardner Smith distributes molasses which promotes condition in dairy herds. These pull up stands depicted in a light-hearted way the benefits of the product.
Renovation Specialists Trade Show Stand
Our client wanted a wallpaper style stand, minimalist that had wow factor. We used the headline and theme "change your home's DNA" with abstract DNA as the pattern, and loaned them our white egg chair for the show. We also produced the competition poster and DLE brochure with perforated competition entry forms. A large number of qualified leads were generated from the show and we produced an email newsletter template to send to leads.
Cariboo Posters
Cariboo wanted a repeating pattern poster of a forest they could use in point of sale displays that gave them flexibility to change length depending on variable window and wall settings. The posters are shown here put up in their showroom but will be used in portable displays.
Christchurch & Canterbury Convention Bureau Pull Up Poster
This pull up stand uses the fool, a central figure in the Inspired & Unexpected Campaign, and Christchurch Art Gallery sculpture for the 2007 season promoting Christchurch & Canterbury as a conference destination.

Bellamy Brothers tour in October
BELLAMY Brothers, Howard and David, best-known for their '70s instant smash hits Let Your Love Flow, and country music's best pick-up line in a song "If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me)" are heading to Australia in October.
This will be part of the duo's global tour to celebrate their upcoming 40 year anniversary.
The statistics behind the Bellamy Brothers are staggering.
They have 20 #1 singles in the US alone, and 50 hit singles overall; and the distinction of recording duets with luminaries from the country music world such as Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and Alan Jackson.
They have received nearly every music award there is and hold the record in both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association for the most duo nominations.
Rolling Stone recently included their classic Old Hippy on their list of the 100 Greatest Country Songs of All Time.
"We are really looking forward to heading back and performing to all our Aussie fans. It has been a while since we were there last," says David Bellamy.
"We've toured in over 50 countries throughout our career and Australia is one of our favourites."
Howard Bellamy adds: "This is shaping up to be one of our biggest international years."
"Good thing we're used to the jet lag," he said.
"We actually have a new song we're recording now called Jet Lag Journey!"
Their seamless harmonies remain perfectly intact as they continue to tour the world, performing over 200 shows each year.
On the international scene, the Bellamy Brothers are one of the most demanded country music acts of the touring industry.
They're able to sell out shows in India, Sri Lanka, New Caledonia, Qatar and other nations where other country artists aren't even recognised.
"We're old road dogs," grins Howard when asked about the motivation behind the brothers' 200 plus concert dates each year.
"Our live draw is bigger than it was in the '80's. I think the same people that grew up with us and with our music in the 60s and 70s obviously have raised a whole new generation of Bellamy fans who started toddling to our music," David said.
"Now they're turning up at our concerts as college kids, who are really tuned in to us and our music... it's a great feeling."
You can see them in Toowoomba at the Empire Theatre on October 3 and at Twin Towns in Tweed Heads on October 4, in Sydney at the State Theatre on October 16 and in Melbourne at the Palms at Crown on October 17 and 18.
The Bellamys will also perform on Cruisin' Country, the luxury entertainment cruise to Noumea departing Sydney on October 5.

So I can't wait for the day,
That we can be together,
I can't let you walk away.
Oh, can't you see, you and me,

And there's nothing left to say.
Oh baby can't you see,
What you do to me?
Our love was meant to be,
You were meant for me.

Every time I see you,
I get this feeling, oh yeah.
Telling me you are the one,
Oh, what a feeling.
I can't wait for the day,
That we can be together,
I can't let you walk away.
Oh, can't you see, you and me,
Were meant to be, oh baby,
There's nothing left for me to say.
Repeat Chorus
You take me away, so far away,
Oh what you do to me, oh, oh.

Somewhere just you and me, oh, oh.
Repeat Chorus to fade
Our love was meant to be,
Our love was meant to be.

The Pigalle district has always been famous for the Moulin Rouge and other blockbuster after-hours venues. Though it's still a staple tourist destination, things here are changing. As an eager young crowd move in to open new bar, restaurant and retail concepts all the time.
Join them here – as this former yoga studio is now available to rent. Inside, it's a bright space with wooden flooring and one large main room. The zen-like decoration is attractive, but may not be to everyone's taste. As well as the main room, there's a series of smaller rooms in the basement to use as changing rooms or for extra storage space. You'll also find a small kitchenette downstairs.
The surrounding neighbourhood is liveliest at night, although this space can be found near the Museum of Romantics, International Visual Theatre and other galleries open all day long.
Special rate will apply during all the main events taking place in the French capital such as the Paris Fashion week.
The décor style won't suit every retail idea.
At Appear Here we believe in the personal touch, which is why everyone gets matched to a Concierge who is there to help you find the perfect space for your idea.

by: Dan Pliskin
Dan Pliskin is the parent of two Harlamite sisters, "uncle" of a Harlam counselor, Vice Chair of the Harlam Council and a proud alum of the URJ's GUCI, where he spent nine summers, eight with his brother, Larry.
At Camp Harlam, we strive to create a place "where friends become family." We do a lot of intentional work to create a camp environment that is an open and safe "kehilah kedosha," a holy community, one that fosters all types of positive relationships among campers, staff and faculty. Our campers participate in programming designed to facilitate a family feeling at camp, from long standing traditions like Carmel-Chavurah Day, in which we pair our youngest and oldest campers as "buddies," to a relatively new activity that brings our older K'far Noar campers together with their younger Kineret counterparts in a similar way. And a big part of the effort is simply encouraging people from different places and backgrounds to treat each other, and aspire to be treated, with love, acceptance and respect. In other words, the goal is for them to become like family.
But Camp Harlam is not just a place where friends become family. Although sometimes unnoticed and definitely underappreciated, camp is also a place where FAMILY becomes family. This was one of many insights I reflected on during a recent Shabbat spent at Camp Harlam.
My focus on family relationships at camp came to mind in part because of a recent New York Times column on siblings. Also, a few years ago, my friend and fellow URJ camp alum (Goldman Union Camp Institute in our case, in the lower Midwest), Amy Gorodetzky Nefouse, wrote on the subject of siblings at camp. Amy, who has three younger brothers, all of whom went to camp with her, pointed out that camp is a unique place for siblings. It is often the first place in the world where siblings live together without their parents or grandparents around. It can be a place where they begin to establish their own direct relationships with each other. At camp, they can learn to look out for each other and take care of each other, they share a profound, common experience together, and they can gain a different perspective on one another. At camp, they come to know each other a little differently, and hopefully, appreciate each other a little more.
Like the other URJ camps, Camp Harlam has many related family members inside its gates ready for these interactions – sisters and brothers, cousins, blended families, kids raised as siblings and cousins, and occasionally parents (usually faculty or staff) and their children.
So I was very moved on this recent Shabbat at Harlam as I sat back and watched camp work its magic. Our entire community came together for Erev Shabbat services, dinner, a rousing song session and Saturday morning services. I personally saw many, many family members – siblings, cousins, parents and children – intentionally find one another, not just to say "Shabbat Shalom," but to check in with each other, to really embrace each other, to talk to each others' friends and counselors, and ultimately to deepen their relationships. I saw the pride and love on their faces when, for example, their sister, Lizzie, read at services, their cousin, Miriam, chanted a line of the week's parsha, their brother, Joel, carried the Torah, or their sister, Mikey, showed her ruach (spirit) in song session. No parent was present to tell them what to feel and how to convey or acknowledge it; they simply felt that pride in their family member, they expressed it to them and the whole community bore witness. FAMILY becoming family. It was a beautiful sight. And the foundation of a beautiful relationship. Just between the two of them.

Spring is here and I couldn't be happier to get out of these heavy knits + coats and into flowy dresses, crop tops + sandals. This weekend I ventured to DC to enjoy the lovely weather and cherry blossom with my boyfriend.I got a little side tracked when I found a Zara + HM, so we kind of missed the parade. We got to the festival and folk were running around dressed in anime characters eating chicken on a stick. It totally reminded me of junior high when me and my friends we obssessed with Sailor Moon. Ahhh, feels like a century ago!! Anyways, school is kicking my butt and I like it but I can't wait to finish so that I can get work :)

Title: Frontiers in recurrent neural network research
In the last few years, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have become the Swiss Army knife of large-scale sequence processing. Problems involving long and complex data streams, such as speech recognition, machine translation and reinforcement learning from raw video, are now routinely tackled with RNNs. This talk takes a look at some of the new architectures, applications and training strategies currently being developed in this exciting field.

Title: Towards Solving the Hard Problem of Consciousness: The Varieties of Brain Resonances and the Conscious Experiences that they Support
What happens in our brains when we consciously experience sights, sounds, feelings, and knowledge about them? The Hard Problem of Consciousness is the problem of explaining how this happens. To solve this problem, a theory of consciousness needs to link brain to mind by modeling how brain dynamics give rise to conscious experiences, and specifically how the emergent properties of brain dynamics generate properties of individual experiences and of the psychological and neurobiological data that they generate. This talk summarizes evidence that Adaptive Resonance Theory, or ART, is accomplishing this goal. ART is a cognitive and neural theory of how advanced brains autonomously learn to attend, recognize, and predict objects and events in a changing world. ART has predicted that "all conscious states are resonant states" as part of its specification of mechanistic links between processes of consciousness, learning, expectation, attention, resonance, and synchrony. It hereby provides functional and mechanistic explanations of data ranging from individual spikes and their synchronization to the dynamics of conscious perceptual, cognitive, and cognitive-emotional behaviors. ART has now reached sufficient maturity to begin classifying the brain resonances that support conscious experiences of seeing, hearing, feeling, and knowing. The talk will review various of these resonances, their similarities and differences, including where they occur in our brains; how they interact when we feel and know about what we see and hear; and various of the normal and clinical psychological and neurobiological data that they explain and predict, and which have not been explained by alternative theories. The talk will mention some resonances that do not become conscious, and why, including why not all brain dynamics are resonant in terms of the computationally complementary organization of cortical processing streams.

Title: Perception of People and Scenes for Robot Learning from Demonstration
We are at the dawn of a robotics revolution where the visions of interconnected heterogeneous robots in widespread use will become a reality. Similar to "app stores" for modern computing, people at varying levels of technical background will contribute to "robot app stores" as designers and developers. However, current paradigms to program robots beyond simple cases remains inaccessible to all but the most sophisticated of developers and researchers.
In order for people to fluently program autonomous robots, a robot must be able to interpret commands that accord with a human's model of the world. The challenge is that many aspects of such a model are difficult or impossible for the robot to sense directly. We posit the critical missing component is the grounding of symbols that conceptually tie together low-level perception with user programs and high-level reasoning systems. Such a grounding will enable robots to perform tasks that require extended goal-directed autonomy as well as fluidly work with human partners.
Towards making robot programming more accessible and general, I will present our work on improving perception of people and scenes to enable robot learning from human demonstration. Robot learning from demonstration (LfD) has emerged as a compelling alternative to explicit coding in a programming language, where robots are programmed implicitly from a user's demonstration. Phrasing LfD as a statistical regression problem, our multivalued regression algorithms will be presented for learning robot controllers in the face of perceptual aliasing. I will also describe how such regressors can be used within physics-based estimation systems to learn controllers for humanoids from monocular video of human motion. With respect to learning for sequential manipulation tasks, our recent work aims to perceive axiomatic descriptions of scenes from depth for planning goal-directed behavior.

Title: Big Science, Team Science, Open Science for Neuroscience
Over the past decade, the Allen Institute for Brain Science has produced a series of brain atlases. These are large (3 TB, > million slides) public resources, integrating genome-wide gene expression, and neuroanatomical data across the entire brain for developing and adult humans, non-human primates and mice, complemented by high-resolution, cellular-based anatomical connectivity data in several thousand mice. It is the largest integrated neuroscience database world-wide. Anybody can freely access this data without any restrictions at www.brain-map.org.
Six years ago, we embarked on an ambitious 10-year initiative to understand the structure and function of the neocortex and associated satellite structures in humans and mice. We are setting up high through-put pipelines to exhaustively characterize the morphology, electrophysiology and transcriptome of cell types well as their synaptic interconnections in the laboratory mouse and in human neocortex (via a combination of fetal, neurosurgical and post-mortem tissues). We are building brain observatories to image the activities of 10,000s of neurons throughout the cortico-thalamic system in behaving mice, to record their electrical activities, and to analyze their connectivity at the ultra-structural level. We are constructing biophysically detailed as well as simplified computer simulations of these networks and of their information processing capabilities focusing on how the neocortical tissue gives rise to perception, behavior and consciousness.

Title: A Cognitive Architecture for Object Recognition in Video
This talk describes our efforts to abstract from the animal visual system the computational principles to explain images in video. We develop a hierarchical, distributed architecture of dynamical systems that self-organizes to explain the input imagery using an empirical Bayes criterion with sparseness constraints and dual state estimation. The interpretation of the images is mediated through causes that flow top down and change the priors for the bottom up processing. We will present preliminary results in several data sets.

Title: How brain architecture leads to abstract thought
(Joint with Patrick Taylor)
Using 20 years of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from tens of thousands of brain imaging experiments, our recent research suggests how the physical brain could give rise to abstract thought. The work demonstrates not only the basic operational paradigm of cognition, but shows that all cognitive behaviors exist on a hierarchy, starting with the most tangible behaviors such as finger tapping or pain, then to consciousness and extending to the most abstract thoughts and activities such as naming. This hierarchy of abstraction is found related to the connectome structure of the whole human brain.

Title: Backpropagation in the Brain and More Advanced Learning Systems
The recent explosion of interest in deep learning based on backpropagation is the result of empirical demonstration and testing of methods developed long ago, funded by NSF, DARPA and Google. The usual convolutional neural networks are not a valid model of computing in the cerebral cortex, because they assume Euclidean symmetry and are unable to learn simple mappings required, for example, in learning how to navigate a cluttered space; however, more general networks were also developed years ago, and demonstrated on less popular problems like power grid forecasting and incremental chess playing. This year empirical tests were also carried out on 24khz data from prefrontal cortex, strongly supporting our original theory of brain intelligence in which regular clocks and alternative forward and backward passes explain the power of cortical computation, and are preferred in the data over the more ancient theories of pure asynchronous computing by spiking networks or ODE. An empirical pathway has also been laid out to allow physical backpropagation of information, which promises to enable a new level of general intelligence through analog quantum computing more "conscious" than what we see in the mammal brain.

How to recover deleted messages from Hotmail
In the process of using email, you have accidently deleted an important email and you don't know how to take it back. Don't worry. You can restore deleted emails from "Deleted" folder, much like the recycle bin on a PC. However, once purged from the Deleted folder, these messages are much harder to retrieve. Depending on the email system you use, the Deleted folder may be purged automatically at regular intervals – however all is not necessarily lost.
===>>> hotmail sign up
If you're using Hotmail you can sometimes recover accidentally deleted messages, even if they no longer appear in your "Deleted" folder.
To do this, look for the "recover deleted messages" option which will appear once you click on the "Deleted" folder.
Clicking on this will bring back as many deleted messages as possible and return them to the "Deleted" folder. From here you can move them to the folder of your choice.
If your important message isn't retrieved by this method then there's no more that can be done online.
If you're using a desktop email application such as Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird you can try data recovery software such as Piriform'sRecuva which is a free data recovery program with specific support for retrieving lost emails. If you're using Thunderbird, you may also like to try the steps outlined here: How to recover deleted emails.

Adding & Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators (Centers)
Lesson 10 of 11
Objective: SWBAT add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators.
Big Idea: During choice time, students have an opportunity to select the activities that will help to develop their mathematical fluency.
This lesson is designed to help students increase fluency in the skills we have been learning throughout our unit on adding and subtracting fractions. The next topic is about adding and subtracting mixed numbers. Since this is the last instructional day before the assessment, I provide students with choices of problem activities to practice these skills.
I start with a quick introduction to the lesson by sharing the agenda for the day.
- Must Do
- Choice Time
- Conferences
I explain that throughout the class, students will all complete a must do, then they may make choices about how to spend the rest of the time. Throughout the class, I pull students to conference with me about their recent work with fractions.
To introduce the choices, I have students come up and play a demonstration round of each game. I also provide the students with a hand out that includes the rules and expectations of each game.
The choice time activities are:
Problem Solving: Showcase What You Know
- Make a diagram and write an equation to match the story
- Solve it
- Include a picture to show what is happening in the problem.
First to 12 Wholes
The focus of this game is for students to practice using benchmark fractions to estimate.
- Player A flips 4 fraction cards.
- Player B estimates the size of each fraction using benchmark fractions. (Explaining his/her thinking out loud to the other player).
- Player B then estimates the sum of the benchmark fractions and records it.
- Player B flips 4 fraction cards and the cycle continues.
- The first player to get to 12 is the winner.
Possible extensions include incorporating subtraction of benchmark fractions, or try estimating the sum of more than 2 fractions.
Fraction War
The focus of this choice to to have students compare fractions.
Draw a giant fraction bar on a sheet of note book paper (like the model on the board)
Divide a set of fraction cards in half.
Flip 2 number cards to create a fraction. The first card flipped is the numerator, the second is the denominator
Determine which player has the largest fraction (use number sense or create common denominators). Each player must explain their way of knowing which was the largest.
If two players have equivalent fractions, play "war".
It is important to model the rules of the game to make sure students are clear of the expectations. With in the structure of each choice, I allow room for students make some of their own agreements with in their choice activities like how to deal with wild cards.
Because there will be a combination of group work, independent work, conferences, and partners working on various activities, it is important to make an agreement of expectations for the lesson.
I ask students to share the expectations they have for themselves and their classmates during the lesson. As each student shares, the others promise to meet these expectations.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Throughout the independent practice, I meet with students one-to-one to discuss their recent work with problem solving.
Students previously solved addition and subtraction word problems that involved fractions with unlike denominators.
When I conference with students I ask three major questions:
- How are you feeling about your work with fractions?
- Do you have any questions for me?
- Will you read the story problem that you solved that you are most proud of, and then explain how you solved it. If there were any parts that you got stuck, can you talk about them?
While students explain their thought process, I listen for and provide prompts to assess three criteria.
• Vocabulary Use
• Ability to explain that when making equivalent fractions the numerator and denominator are both multiplied by the same number because n/n is 1 whole. Multiplying by 1 whole doesn't change the value of a fraction.
• A bar diagram is a part-part-whole model, but the "whole" refers to the entire amount of whatever the problem is about, not a whole number. It is appropriate to have a fraction in the "whole" position of a bar diagram.
Independent Practice
First, students work on the "must do". This independent activity is used to assess a skill learned in a previous topic.
Must do:
1) .67 x .35
2) 32 divided by 1.5
3) 3.2 divided by 15
4) .32 divided by .15
I choose the same digits in the dividend and divisor so students have to focus on the place value and decimal manipulation, and reasonableness of their answers.
Then students move to their choices, while I meet with one student at a time for conferences.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Group Share
It may seem unconventional to have a group share at the end of a lesson when so many students were working on different things. However, I find that students are more articulate when they have to explain a unique experience rather than describe an event that was shared by everyone.
The group share prompts for this lesson are:
- What choice did you make today?
- What did you learn while you were working?
I record all recap statements that students share. Moving forward, these statements will be revisited to improve student thinking, address misconceptions, and solidify understandings.

Norwich crushes Lasell
Fitzpatrick leads Cadets to third consecutive GNAC title
NORTHFIELD, Vt. -- Fueled by a sparkling performance from sophomore midfielder Grace Fitzpatrick, Norwich picked up its third consecutive Great Northeast Athletic Conference tournament title with a 17-6 win against Lasell.
Fitzpatrick, en route to tournament Most Valuable Player honors, scored nine goals to guide the Maroon and Gold (14-0). The key part of her performance occurred in the late stages of the first half when, with Lasell (15-3) having rallied to within 4-3, Fitzpatrick reeled off two scores in 10 seconds to spark a six-goal NU run that put the home team up 10-3 at halftime.
"We were able, during that stretch, to get our offense into space and get their goalkeeper moving around, too," Norwich coach Elizabeth VanParys said. "When we were able to execute passes, we were really clicking.
"Lasell is a strong team," she added. "We knew this would be a tough game. The players were very motivated for this afternoon."
Fitzpatrick and senior midfielder Kacey Abbriano, as they have throughout the season, led the Cadets' offensive attack. Abbriano, compiling her 25th consecutive multiple-goal finish, turned in five goals. Senior midfielder Mollie Fitzpatrick also had a multiple-goal outing with two to go with one assist. Her sister, Grace, also added an assist to her 12th consecutive multiple-goal contest for a 10-point afternoon.
Defensively, NU senior goalkeeper Meghan Kennedy, recording her 19th consecutive win, turned in eight saves. The Cadets also forced seven Lasell turnovers and picked up 17 ground balls.
Lasell did manage a 17-shot attack. The sophomore attacker duo of Erin Gertonson and Britney Wourio combined for four goals. Freshman goalkeeper Alexa Katsigianis kept the Lasers close, especially early on, with 10 saves.
With the win, the Cadets return to the NCAA Division III tournament for a third consecutive year.

Writing about Pobox reminded me of Meng Wong's SPF anti-spam system. I've heard nothing about it recently, and a check of openspf.org shows Latest News from June 2008 and April 2007.
What's the health of the project? Are people using SPF? Is it effective? Should I bother updating (fixing, really) the SPF records I added years ago?

Just days after making a number of improvements to Mesa/Gallium3D, Marek is back this week so far with 22 patches to improve Gallium3D and specifically to benefit the AMD Radeon "R600g" graphics driver.
Marek Olšák on Monday sent to the Mesa mailing list a set of 22 patches under Gallium and R600 improvements. This follows his recent OpenGL 4.0 transform feedback work and another important patch-set from last week. His mailing list message says:
Patches 1-12 are Mesa/Gallium improvements. Most importantly, this adds acceleration of stencil copying (including glBlitFramebuffer) using the shader stencil export functionality. I am afraid r600g and radeonsi are the only drivers which can make use of it at the moment. There is also acceleration for depth texture mipmap generation.These patches touch around 1,000 lines of code and fixes 23 depth-stencil Piglit regression tests on r600g.
Patches 13-22 are R600 improvements. There is a new derived state for the CB registers which kept cumulating in the draw_vbo function, and some improvements for depth-stencil flushing and uploading. My changes to the CB_TARGET_MASK emission in the compute code (patch #13) might need some review from somebody working on compute.

Pharmacists could act as GPs in remote areas
Outback pharmacists may be allowed to perform the duties of GPs under a radical proposal by a major health figure.
The former head of the federal health department, Stephen Duckett, is releasing a report today outlining the plan.
The reports suggests pharmacists should be able to issue repeat prescriptions, vaccinations and other fundamental services usually only provided by GPs.
The proposal has the backing of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, as well as Broken Hill pharmacist Alex Page.
"Completely welcome the suggestion," Mr Page said.
"I think pharmacists are underused in the health system.
"We're very accessible in primary health.
"I've worked out in the country now for four or five years, and you can see - it doesn't matter where you go - that there's always a shortage of GPs, and any measure that makes it easier to see a GP is a winner as far as I'm concerned."
Local doctor Steve Flecknoe-Brown says it is important that any pharmacists involved receive the training they need to deliver any new services.
He says it should not be treated as a solution to the shortage of doctors in country areas.
"The people of rural and remote Australia have every right to expect high quality medicine and not to be treated as second-class citizens because they choose to live far from the ivory towers of the east coast," he said.

Pearl street man tries to flee accident
A 38-year-old Pearl Street man was charged with driving while intoxicated and other counts after allegedly trying to drive off after running into a parked car on Woodside Avenue, only to be pursued by another motorist who stopped him a block away until police arrived about 11:40 p.m. Monday.
Andrew Siwy refused to submit to either field sobriety or blood tests but officers charged him with driving while intoxicated because of the "odor of an alcoholic beverage" and because of his slurred speech and bloodshot and glassy eyes. He was also charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and leaving the scene of an accident. The name of the motorist who stopped Siwy was not released.

Season-opening games for the NFL are often a hot ticket, but not so much in Los Angeles.
Sparse attendance at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum for the Rams' 46-9 victory over the Indianapolis Colts prompted Twitter to blitz hard with mockery on Sunday.
The 93,000-plus stadium had a paid attendance of 60,128 (that's tickets sold), yet it looked less than half-full, Pro Football Talk reported. Wiseacres on social media estimated even fewer than that.

The past month has seen significant progress in Texas justice for animals. On September 2, the Dallas Morning News reported that a Dallas man convicted of felony animal cruelty in the death of his neighbor's dog received the maximum possible sentence allowable under the law: ten years in prison and a $14,000 fine. Carey McMillan was convicted and sentenced after jurors watched a videotape of him goading his two pitbulls to tear apart and kill his neighbor's dog, Cisco.
A few weeks earlier, in Denton County, Texas, prosecutors filed felony animal cruelty charges against a man who reportedly caused the death of Bull, a one-year-old black Labrador retriever. According to the Dallas Morning News, Richard Swift wrapped duct tape around Bull's snout, head and neck on a 95-degree day, reportedly to stop the dog from barking. Bull later escaped his yard and collapsed from heat stroke at a neighbor's feet. Despite efforts to save him, Bull suffered multiple seizures and swelling in his brain, and he later died at a veterinary hospital.
These developments are significant because although Texas passed its felony animal cruelty law in 1997, there have been few, if any, successful prosecutions under the law to date. These latest cases show that the tide may be turning for animals under Texas' legal system.
You can help ensure this upswing in prosecutions of violent animal abusers in Texas continues. Contact the Denton County District Attorney and thank him for pursuing the animal cruelty case against Richard Swift. Encourage him to maintain the felony charges against Mr. Swift and to seek significant jail time upon conviction.

Stream Frankie Cosmos' Delightful New EP Fit Me In
Plus, read an interview with the prolific Greta Kline, who delves right into electronic instrumentation on her latest.
Before her debut LP Zentropy — one of our favorite albums of last year — came out on Brooklyn micro-indie label Double Double Whammy, Greta Kline would release torrents of unpolished, sweetly melodic songs on Bandcamp — first as Ingrid Superstar, then as Frankie Cosmos, the name she still uses for what's now a three-piece band. She processed her music quickly, almost automatically: write, record, upload, publish, forget. She didn't think about who would hear it, or if anyone would hear it at all.
"Two years ago, I would literally just write a song and record it directly into my computer, and then put it online and never listen to it again," Kline tells Vulture over the phone from her apartment in New York, the city she still calls home when she gets time off the road. "Now it's more like, 'When should we release it? How are we going to play it on tour?' All of this stuff that I never thought about before." Since Zentropy, Frankie Cosmos' output has slowed to a trickle, at least by Kline's standards — the self-release of two collections, affirms glinting and quick songs, in mid-2014 is still prolific by all accounts. Kline's first release of 2015, the four-song Fit Me In EP, comes out next Friday through Bayonet Records, but Vulture is streaming the release early.
Some of the songs on Fit Me In, the first Frankie Cosmos release to feature primarily electronic instrumentation, have been in the works for almost two years. "A lot of those songs I wrote right after Zentropy came out," Kline says. "I wasn't even thinking about releasing this kind of music. I just viewed it as a one-off thing, like, Ha-ha, we made a song that's really poppy and weird! I just thought it was funny to hear my voice over poppy sounds. I still think it's funny." But Fit Me In is pop music the way Frankie Cosmos' earlier work was rock music: in a niche sense only. It carries the casual air of its predecessors, invitingly simple and intimate, still warm despite the software that's been subbed in for guitars.
While Kline's pre-Zentropy output was written and released unself-consciously, parts of Fit Me In respond directly to the way Frankie Cosmos has been digested by both the music media and her newfound fan base. "Young" is a wry retort to the way the myth of the teen prodigy was superimposed on Kline, who was 19 years old when Zentropy came out. "I wrote some songs that I sung / And have you heard? I am so young," sings Kline over a drum-machine beat and splashes of keyboards. But there's a schism between how she's seen and the way she actually feels about herself: "I heard about being young / But I'm not sure how it's done."
"I'm still young. I'm only 21," she says. "But it was definitely scary having the selling point of that album be like, 'Oh, she's only 19.' I was like, 'Oh my God, that's not going to be happening in two years.' When I'm 21 and put out the next album, it'll be like, 'Oh, she's just a normal 21-year-old.' A boring age. Not relevant. For some reason, it was exciting that I was 19! That's what ['Young'] is about: all the novelty facts about me. This is why people are interested? Does anyone actually like the music? All those feelings."
Lyrically, Fit Me In bridges Zentropy and Frankie Cosmos' next album, due out this coming spring. It catches Kline at a moment of reflection on the beginning of what would become her full-time job. She's home now, at the end of a two-month break from touring, but she's spent most of the past two years on the road, where much of her next album was written. (That said, she'll hit the road again next week with pop-punk favorites All Dogs.) "It's really funny to have all these songs that are about being away from home and being a musician, which is kind of not a relatable thing," she says. "It's so different from Zentropy, which is about being in high school and going to college and being at home with your family and having a boyfriend. My subject matter has become so much less relatable to normal people. I'm curious to see what will happen when we put out those songs. It's a really different perspective on life."
Constant touring has forced Kline to be more deliberate about keeping in touch with her loved ones. Her boyfriend, Aaron Maine, who arranged the synths on Fit Me In, recently left his station behind the Frankie Cosmos drum kit to focus on his own band, Porches, which recently signed to Domino Records. Kline says she learned the importance of staying present while traveling in part from her father Kevin Kline, the Oscar-winning actor who just finished filming the forthcoming live-action take on Beauty and the Beast. (Her mother is Phoebe Cates, another angle gravitated toward by the press.)
"When you're on tour, you wake up, you get in the car, you're in the car all day, you get to the show, you load in, you sound-check, the show starts, then you go sleep somewhere. You really have to make an effort if you want to have a second to call home," Kline says. "My dad was really good at that. He would always fax us letters when we were kids. I think that's something that I am still working on. I'm not old enough or mature enough to be good at that. I just shut out the outside world when I'm on tour. I'm definitely going to try and do a better job of being in touch. Especially now, because this is the second tour that my partner's not in my band, I actually have to make an effort to call him every day. That was a learning experience for me."
But Kline, who just got her first iPhone in July, says technology makes it all easier. "I'm really into having a smartphone," she says. "It's a great world to live in if you want to have a long-distance anything."

Concrete LCDA
Revitalised by three young entrepreneurs with complementary skills, LCDA (set up in 2003) became Concrete LCDA in 2011.
A turning-point came when the designer Matali Crasset agreed to become the brand's artistic director (2011-2015). This adventure started in 2010, when Julien Gay, Julien & Valentin Delalande, three young thirty-year olds, decided to take over the craft activity of LCDA. A wonderful moment for the material for each of them will use his experience: Julien Gay in relations with the specifiers, Julien Delalande in terms of international deployment and Valentin Delalande as engineer.
Established in Avrillé near Angers in the Maine et Loire (49), the company has a 7,500 sqm production workshop which enables it to easily respond to the requirements of production in long runs or made-to-measure. Engineer, designer, artistic cabinet-maker, expert in composite materials…composed his team of 40 persons structured to succeed with the most ambitious projects.
The company is now the leader in Europe in the contemporary furniture and fibre-reinforced concrete interior fittings sector with references such as Balenciaga, Saint-Laurent Paris, IKKS, Galeries Lafayette, Groupe Accor, Kenzo...
In 2017, Concrete LCDA integrates Ober Surfaces www.ober-surfaces.com.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The new mayor, Bill de Blasio, and his choice of William Bratton as his police commissioner, proved a blessing in disguise for native Staten Islander James (Jim) O'Keefe.
It paved the way for his Dec. 31 retirement as a deputy commissioner of the NYPD, he said, and his appointment Jan. 1 as vice provost and chief academic officer for the Staten Island campus of St. John's University. "I traded one hat for another," O'Keefe explained.
Actually, O'Keefe, who has a doctorate degree in criminal justice administration, is a tenured associate professor and former associate dean at St. John's, who is returning to academia after a two-year-leave of absence to serve as NYPD deputy commissioner under former Commissioner Ray Kelly.
"I'm really excited and energized about returning to St. John's, especially to the Staten Island campus," said O'Keefe, a Matawan, N.J. resident who grew up in Great Kills and earned a bachelor of science degree from St. John's in 1979.
"The Staten Island campus is a true gem," he said. "It's really come a long way since its first year in 1971," he noted. He said he's excited about the university's plans to expand the academic offerings at the Island campus, which sits atop Grymes Hill, off Howard Avenue.
One thing O'Keefe would like to make clear is that there are "absolutely no plans in the wings" to close or sell the campus.
"I did not come here to close the campus," O'Keefe emphasized. "We have established strong ties in the community over the years, and if anything, I am looking to reach out and broaden those ties," he said. "We want people to know that St. John's Staten Island is here, and we're not going anywhere."
Among the new initiatives he hopes to accomplish is establish a continuing education component for adults who want to return to school to broaden their education or learn a new field. He also hopes to reach out to veterans and to civil servants who want to go back to school.
"We have a lot of Staten Islanders in the uniformed services, the police, fire or correction departments, who need college credits to be eligible for promotion. We would encourage them to continue through to earn a degree," he noted.
He said he would also like to expand course offerings and opportunities to veterans here. "We have veterans who have served our country with distinction and now want, and deserve, to enrich their own lives and skills through higher education."
For undergraduates, he emphasizes the opportunities for students at the Island campus to spend a semester studying abroad at one of the university's two Europe campuses, in Rome or Paris. "You can get an international education and still get your degree from your hometown," he said.
The Staten Island campus, which had fall 2013 enrollment of just over 1,800 students, including 1,700 undergraduates, is home to St. John's College of Liberal Arts, the School of Education, the Peter J. Tobin College of Business and the College of Professional Studies.
O'Keefe acknowledged that enrollment and tuition costs are problematic.
In 2010, the university established an accelerated program on campus, in which students can earn an undergraduate degree in three years, at a projected savings of $29,000. About a third of the students enrolled have taken advantage of the program, with the remaining students taking the traditional four-year baccalaureate program, and some taking specific five-year programs that yield a bachelor's degree and a master's degree after five years.
About 90 percent of students on campus receive some form of financial aid, O'Keefe said.
He said he is hoping to tap St. John's alumni from Staten Island to reach out to prospective students. "Our alumni are living on Staten Island and working in just about every field, from education to science and health, the liberal arts and social sciences," he noted. "They are our best spokesmen and women for what a St. John's degree can do for you.

|Original façade of the Savoy Theatre, 1881, from Wikipedia
The walk from the RA to the Savoy only takes 19 minutes (according to Google Maps), but I have taken the liberty of shortening the distance. Also of compressing the summer into the time it takes to turn a page: Wilde and Langtry have just come from the RA's Summer Exhibition, which ends in August. But Patience didn't open at the Savoy until October 10th.
The Savoy was long the home of Gilbert and Sullivan, but in 1931 it was to host the first UK performance of Oscar Wilde's play Salome (the only performances given during his lifetime were in Paris).
Wilde would have been less keen to sit through another performance of Patience. The operetta was a light spoof of aestheticism, the creed of "art for art's sake" that Wilde was widely perceived to lead.
|The original interior of the Savoy, photographed in 1920
As Oscar took a seat in a rear box, the audience turned en masse to get a good look at the curiosity from across the Atlantic. The New-York Tribune reported the next day that "numberless opera glasses turned toward the poet, but he appeared entirely unconscious of the scrutiny". But of course, appearances can be deceptive.
The main point I wanted to get across in this page is that Oscar is, at this point in the story, practically penniless. Danica has done a great job of conveying that, and I especially love how she's rendered Wilde's face in that final panel: Oscar has avoided what could have been an embarrassing admission of penury, deflected Langtry's request with a quip, and adopted a mask of superiority. Although he would normally indulge Langtry's every whim, he poses as bored, and suggests the riverside walk that he would ordinarily do anything to avoid.
It was Oscar's money troubles that on October 1st 1881 led him to accept D'Oyly Carte's invitation to tour America as a walking-talking advertisement for Patience, with a hastily penned telegram that read "Yes, if offer good."
The offer was good, and Oscar was soon on his way to conquering America.

Last night's show was sharp, but not as sharp as the two preceding it, owing to a number of factors. Chageover was really rough--you see, at the festival the show before you ends and wham, bam, thank you mam you are putting your show on. There's only about 15 minutes between the end of the show before us and when I am starting my show, and while we are a lightweight show, it can still be hard...especially when things go wrong.
Which they did. The show before us is technically complex, with many set pieces and an involved lighting plot--they have gelled every light, so changing the lights over is very onerous. Becs and Steve, the two techs who run the Wildman Room do a great job but last night things just went pear-shaped--the show before us ran late, their stage manager had problems, their set refused to leave and then the lights had been repatched in an interesting way that made it hard to sort out how I was going to be lit. This is stressful when you have only 4 minutes left before your show is late and you are fucking things up for the next person.
So JM managed to get the show open with great effort...and then there were more delays, I forgot something, and we had our first wheelchair patron...whom, due to the chaos, we didn't choose a position for.
As a consequence they parked the wheelchair person stage right...IN MY PLAYING SPACE.
Let me make this clear: the wheelchair was not "near" the set...I've dealt with a lot weirder than that. The wheelchair was WITHIN the set--for the first time, I was performing a two-man show, albeit one of the roles was played by a responsive man with a handicap of some sort.
He was a very nice fellow, and it could have been far worse--Tourette's would have been really hard to deal with at that distance. Still, it skewed what was already a challenging show--all my blocking had to be rearranged, and I was constantly standing right next to the guy, and had to include him in a lot of the show, otherwise I'd be too theatrical and removed. David suggested that I should have grabbed his wheelchair and wheeled him around when making an emphatic point, and while that's a bit over the top it would in some ways have been easier than "hanging out" with him was.
Today is a Tuesday, traditionally a quiet day for the festival...I am very curious as to how many audience members we will see this evening.

Curtis Cup Captain Mohler Surprises Herself, Qualifies For U.S. Women's Amateur
Oldest player in field (55) competing in first Women's Amateur Championship since 1980
By David Shefter, USGA
Noreen Mohler had planned to visit St. Louis in early August. She just never thought she would be bringing her golf clubs.
What began as a pipedream turned into reality on July 20 when the 55-year-old Bethlehem, Pa., resident qualified for the 2009 U.S. Women's Amateur, to be contested at Old Warson Country Club in St. Louis Aug. 3-9.
Mohler, who earlier this year was named USA Curtis Cup captain for the 2010 Match at Essex County Club in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass., was going to St. Louis for an early scouting mission. It would provide an opportunity to size up available talent for next June's biennial competition against Great Britain and Ireland.
But then an idea popped into her head. Why not make an attempt at qualifying for the championship?
And when she posted a 2-over-par 74 at Sunnybrook Golf Club in Plymouth Meeting, Pa., Mohler had earned a spot in the 156-player field. It will be her first appearance in the Women's Amateur since 1980, when she missed the match-play cut at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kan.
To put that long drought into perspective, all but seven players in this year's event weren't even alive in 1980.
"Pretty amazing, huh?" said Mohler by phone before departing for St. Louis. "I didn't think I had a really good chance. I mean, I had a chance or otherwise I wouldn't have done it."
With her son Brendan on her bag, Mohler was two under par through 14 holes of the qualifier. Three-putt bogeys at 15 and 16 brought her back to even, and a nasty pull-hook off the tee at the par-3 17th led to a double bogey. But Mohler regained her composure and converted an 8-foot par putt at the final hole for the 74. She figured a 75 would qualify. As it turned out, 76 played off for the final spot.
"I had a good day," said Mohler, who will be the oldest player in the field. "The course played long for me. Everyone was hitting it 30 yards by me. It was almost 6,300 yards. That's an OK length for me. I wouldn't want to play anything longer. That's why I didn't even try to qualify for the Women's Open. I know my limits."
Despite the Women's Open being conducted in her backyard, the 6,740-yard Old Course at Saucon Valley simply was too long for Mohler. Instead, she served as a volunteer and scouted the amateurs in the field. Six amateurs made the cut, three of which were juniors: 14-year-olds Alison Lee and Alexis Thompson, and 16-year-old Jessica Korda. Jennifer Song, 19, of La Cañada, Calif., who won the 2009 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links title, was the low amateur, giving Mohler plenty of good fodder for when the team is selected next year.
She also spent a day recently at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., for the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship, watching the likes of Thompson, Korda and 17-year-old Kimberly Kim, a member of the 2008 Curtis Cup squad.
Being inside the ropes at the Women's Amateur just gives Mohler another opportunity to observe talent, not just on the course but how the players handle their emotions off it.
Mohler has not made any special requests to play with anyone and knows the groupings for stroke play are done randomly by the USGA. That doesn't mean she won't have time to scout.
George "Buddy" Marucci Jr., the 2009 USA Walker Cup captain, has spent a majority of his summer competing in the same amateur events as some of his possible players. The Walker Cup will be held Sept. 12-13 at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa.
"There's no better way to really get up close and personal unless you are playing with them," said Mohler. "You are in the locker room with them. You are seeing not just what happens on the golf course, but also what happens outside the golf course, too. That's important."
This will be Mohler's seventh appearance in the Women's Amateur. In 1975, she advanced to the semifinals, where she fell to eventual winner Beth Daniel in 19 holes. She also made match play on four other occasions, losing in the second round in 1973, 1976 and 1979 and the first round in 1977. She was a member of the Curtis Cup team in 1978.
In 1984, Mohler turned professional and played two years on the LPGA Tour before giving up professional golf after meeting her current husband, Jeff. She stayed away from competitive golf for 20 years while raising a family and tending to their restaurant in Easton, Pa. Recently, Mohler has enjoyed a golf renaissance playing USGA championships. She was a quarterfinalist at the 2007 USGA Senior Women's Amateur at Sunriver (Ore.) Resort, and she reached the semifinals of last year's U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur at Barton Hills C.C. in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Then she received the ultimate honor from the USGA Women's Committee earlier this year.
"Nothing beats being named Curtis Cup captain," she said. "That's bigger than any significant victory."
Even qualifying for the U.S. Women's Amateur at 55.

Things are returning to normal here in Nashville, although slowly. I've spent the last 2 weekends dealing with my basement, and there's still more to do.
Found a map today showing the floodplains in Nashville. My house is NOT in the "100-year floodplain", but half of it IS in the "500-year floodplain". I guess that theoretically means we should have another one of THESE for 500 years!
However, according to the map, we've had TWO "100-year floods" during the last 50 years, so I don't know how accurate the map is . . .

BOFA's range of ADVANTAGE laser fume extraction and filtration systems are designed for applications that generate particulate and gaseous volatile organic compounds (VOC's) within the Laser Marking, Coding and Engraving Industries.
Advice and information relating to the problems associated with LGAC's provided on this website is placed in the links below.
Cutting of materials such as metals, plastics and textiles are now commonly achieved using lasers. This has great benefits such as fast, clean and accurate cuts that often don't require any additional finishing. Laser cutting does however produce an enormous amount of hazardous contaminants that need to be removed to protect the operator and ensure the quality of cut. As with all laser applications if the fume is not removed at source using LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation), the fume can blur the laser beam, affecting its efficiency.
A variety of toxic fumes and particulates are generated when different substrates are being lasered. These contaminates are known within the industry as LGAC's (Laser Generated Air Contaminates). LGAC's of different makeup can react in the extreme within the filter separation process. In some instances having high ratio of gases to particulates and visa versa. For example, fume from Nylon when lasered is roughly 80% particulate to 20% gas, where as fume from Acrylic is 90% gas to 10% particulate.
With this knowledge, Bofa have developed the Advantage range of fume elimination systems designed specifically for such a broad base of lasered substrate materials.

How can the pope claim to be always right?
He can't, and doesn't. As the head of the worldwide church, his opinions carry strong authority. But only when he delivers a pronouncement ex cathedra -- from the chair of Peter, believed to be the first pope -- are his words considered infallible. And that has happened only once, when Pius XII declared in 1950 that Mary was taken bodily into heaven.
Why do bishops wear those pointed hats?
Actually, that's a good question; not everyone agrees on what the hats, called mitres, symbolize. Some authorities say the two points represent the Old Testament and New Testament, both of which the...
