Gary's random little things about China:
If you come to China, save your small change...
In Beijing, the government recently passed a law against charging money for using a public toilet.
However, in other cities and towns around China, expect to pay between 2-5 mao (about 3-5 cents) for the use.
Bring your own toilet paper, or expect to pay 5 mao for a small pack of tissue as you enter.
In my opinion, the best public toilet in all of China is at Tian'anmen Square.
This public restroom is not only clean, but also features its own gift shop.

Librarianesque Session Notes
These notes are for the BloggerCon session Librarians I moderated on Saturday, April 17, 2004. What follows are points in no particular order. I've combined some of the discussion with related themes.
I hoped to get through my tape of the session tonight, but I just don't have the energy to do it. I will listen to the rest of the tape and flush out these notes further on Monday evening.
The Librarianesque Session was excellent. More than 40 people were in the room. I knew quite a few people, but I also saw a lot of unfamiliar faces.
Many people in the room worked in academic settings. There were some special librarians and a couple of school and public librarians. At least 1/3 of the room were people who said they weren't librarians.
The introductory questions I asked revealed the knowledge and interest of people in the room regarding weblogs. Almost everyone in the room raised their hands when I asked who knew what a weblog is. About half of the people in the room acknowledged having a weblog. Many indicated they were interested in learning more about blogging. One person responded to the question about being in the room because someone else told him to be there. No one admitting being in the wrong room.
I decided to just let the discussion go where people wanted it to and tried not to intervene too much. People raised a lot of issues that varied greatly from the list I developed based on conversations I've had with other librarians about blogging. It began with two librarians talking about the blogs for their libraries: Susan Herzog and Garrett Eastman. Their statements inspired others to begin asking questions and building on what they've said.
One academic librarian observed that students and users are often comfortable in an online environment, so introducing them to blogs may not be as big of a shift as we think it might be.
Between Simmons College speaking appearances, Jessamyn West did indeed join us and contributed to the discussion several times.
People raised a lot of good points and it gave people the opportunity to talk about their blogs and learn what others are doing in certain situations.
A few librarians talked about challenges with marketing the blog to users, coworkers, and managers. Joshua Farber, who works for a prep school, talked about how one of his coworkers was upset because someone linking to the blog did not use a proper citation format. He wonders how we can communicate to others that linking on the Web is substantial, especially on a blog.
Several librarians, like Susan Herzog and Jessamyn West, talked about blogs as a way to market a library, its resources, and events. Someone pointed out that people doing Web searches could end up on any page of the library's blog and learn about their local library, which could be especially useful for people who don't usually use the library.
Someone talked about using the blog as a way to place changing content "above the fold"–putting useful content in a place on the library's Web site where users will easily see it.
One audience member pointed out that blog readers are often a self-selected audience.
Two people talked about how clunky it can be to search blogs, especially since many don't have their own built-in search engines and many search engines don't include content from blogs. If blogs had better navigational tools, people might be more interested in using the technology. (Addendum 4/20: Garrett pointed to an article by Christina Pikas about searching blogs.)
Using categories could be one way to improve navigation, someone suggested. That can get clunky: as the amount of content on the blog grows, so does the amount of posts in each category. It becomes cumbersome for someone to go through each category looking for specific content. While talking about categories, several women talked about issues surrounding how to select appropriate terms, like whether to use a controlled vocabulary (for example Library of Congress Subject Headings, which are used in many libraries) or using less formal terms.
A participant suggested the ability to have a "blog this" bookmarklet built into his browser to make blogging something he finds on the Web much easier.
We talked about several differences between a weblog and a Web site. A contributor doesn't necessarily have to know HTML in order to make an entry. Weblogs are easy to update, change, and edit. In some settings, librarians can control a weblog, but they would have to go through the computer department in order to do anything with the Web site. It can be easier to enable other staff members to contribute to a weblog than a Web site.
Issues of trust and authority came up, too. With a common perception about weblogs being that they're often places where people express their opinions or keep a personal journal, what do people think when their library or librarian has a weblog?
Christina Pikas from Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Lab talked about using her library's weblog to establish her credentials. By writing weblog entries and pointing out useful resources, she's letting her community know she's available and knowledgeable about the field. She thinks it might be a way to attract new clients and encourage others to use the library because of her expertise.
We talked about blogs as a community-building tool, since some blog software gives people the opportunity for interaction through comments and discussion groups. Someone mentioned the use of blogs among community groups connect to a library, like a book group.
Whether or not to use referer logs as a basis for questions to answer on the blog came up, too. A woman talked about the temptation to respond to items in the referer log, like a search string that directs someone to the blog, in order to give the seeker the best information.
Someone told me Dave Winer, conference idea-man, stuck his head into the room at one point, but I didn't see him.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the session and Garrett Eastman, Mary Chitty, Kris Liberman, Vernica Downey and many others for helping me plan the session. sj and Sun monitored the session. Bob, Jesse, and Jay McCarthy helped with tech support.
(I was hoping to listen to the Webcast before typing these notes since the audio tape I made didn't come out well, but it still doesn't seem to be available. As I'm listening to the tape, I kept thinking "What's that popping sound in the background?" Eventually, I realized that the sound is me writing on the chalkboard. I'm sure it's throughout the Webcast since the computer doing the Webcast–and thus one of the Webcast mics–was sitting directly beneath the chalkboard.)
A note on names: I could remember who said some things and forgot or didn't catch the names of others. Since I was moderating, I didn't do a very good job of writing down who said what. I also am very aware that some people do not want to have their name on a weblog and perhaps someone said something in the session s/he doesn't want a coworker to know came from her/him. If I used your name above and you would like me to remove it or I didn't use your name and you would like me to, please let me know.
Christina Pikas posted notes on her blog Christina's LIS Rant.
what follows are the notes I jotted during the session:
self-selected audience
Garrett Eastman got into blogging because scientists don't blog, but he can see a need for it.
students/users more comfortable in an online environment
outreach–get the people who aren't coming to the library into the library
what can I see above the fold on the Web site–accidental visitors
everyone is able to post to a weblog
niche blogging–what to do with the blog
librarians are using blogs outside of the library because the library doesn't have a blog
weblogs enabling new behaviors–more efficient ways to do what we're already doing
people owning and manipulating their own thoughts/writing on a weblog
what can information be for someone
community building
reinventing social conventions like journalism
e-mail as real time vs. blogging as thought before writing
commentary from other bloggers
knowledge discovery –> knowledge sharing — knowing how to find information disconnected pieces
discussion group vs weblog fixed vs. dynamic
networking between librarians
authority power dynamics
end level "how can this be useful"
from the chalkboard:
diff between website & blog
blogs for CM
justifying blogging
knowledge discovery
storytelling –> marketing
drawing users in
categories –> make your own?
indexing blogs
popularity does not equal authority
networking tool
end level "how can this be useful"
knowledgemanagement tool for us or for users
Librarianesque Session Blogroll
Violation of Rule Number One ("I do not post photos of myself on my blog"): Sooz posted two photos of this session. In the second photo, Kris Liberman's head is in the right foreground, Christina Pikas is in blue above her, and Jessamyn West is in the dark top with her hair up. That's me on the desk. In the first photo, which I think was taken before the session officially began, Bob Stepno is to my right (I'm on the desk) against the wall. Sun is to his right, wearing red. The famous Jay McCarthy is to Sun's right. I think Sam's coat is what we see next to Jay.

How Much Do Japan Toll Free Numbers Cost?
How much do Japan toll free numbers cost? Toll free numbers continue to be an important marketing and communication tool for businesses around the world. Not only do they give your company a local presence, they make it extremely easy for your customers to get in contact with you. But despite their popularity, customers can sometimes run into confusion when purchasing new toll free numbers for their business. Because of the many providers and plans available, it can be hard to figure out how much you're actually paying for a phone number.
To help clear up any confusion, we'll discuss how much Japan toll free numbers cost, and explore the factors that can influence their price.
How Much Do Japan Toll Free Numbers Cost?
Like most other toll free numbers, Japan toll free numbers are popularly offered at a monthly rate. However, the cost you pay varies on a number of factors including the provider, plan and features you choose. In this article, we'll discuss three popular options on the market and the costs that are associated with each.
Toll Free Bundle Package
Japan toll free numbers are sometimes offered for a monthly rate paired with a bundled set of calling minutes. So for the monthly cost you pay, you not only have access to the Japan toll free number, but you also have a set allotment of calling minutes you can use with this number. For this type of plan, a Japan toll free number averages around $80 for smaller bundled minutes. Plans with larger sets of minutes can exceed a few hundred dollars per month.
This plan is typically popular for businesses who understand their monthly calling habits, because they'll then have a predictable monthly bill. Users with unpredictable usage may not like this plan because if you don't use all your minutes, you lose them; if you go over your pre-set number of minutes, you'll then pay a higher per minute fee.
Per Minute Charge
Other providers offer Japan toll free numbers by themselves for a monthly rate and then charge you a separate per minute charge. This type of plan costs around $20 per month; however, you'll then be responsible for the per minute cost for each of your calls.
While the price is typically only a few cents per minute, each call will be charged differently based on originating and terminating fees.
The originating fee is based on where and how your number is called, and the terminating fee is dependent on where and how you answer the call.
Toll Free Number With a Cloud PBX
Japan toll free numbers can also be paired with a Cloud PBX. A Cloud PBX is a popular addition to a toll free number because it gives your company the functionality of an onsite business phone system without the cost or installation. You'll have access to features like call recording and call forwarding.
This type of plan for a Japan toll free number also costs about $20 a month. Keep in mind, like the plan above, you'll also be responsible for the per minute charges for each of the calls that takes place on this phone number.
As you can see, there are many options on the market for a business interested in a Japan toll free number. Consider your company's needs, usage and budget in order to choose the plan that will work best for you in the long-term.

Sunshine Holidays on a Shoe-String
For many people the annual trip to soak up some sun, sea and sand are a highlight in the year.
Depending on your budget and/or work or financial situation you many not think that getting away is a viable option for you this year. But think again with these tips for getting a sunshine holiday on a shoe-string budget.
1. Packing
First of all, the golden rule is to pack light! Don't be one of those people that starts stockpiling summer clothes for your holidays (booked or otherwise) as soon as the January Sales roll around. Chances are you have enough summer clothes lying at the back of your wardrobe to fill a carry-on suitcase or backpack, meaning you can get away without paying extra for a bag on your flight or buying yet more holiday clothes that you won't need. Check out Vogue's 2016 capsule summer wardrobe for the kind of things to take to make sure you look chic and stylish still. Maybe don't use the buying guide though, otherwise there is no way you'll be affording that holiday!
2. Relax
Next, weigh up what you really want from the holiday. While clubbing and drinking every night is often seen as a holiday norm, ideally you want to come back relaxed and refreshed from your break.
If you are going to somewhere sunny and lovely, then get outside, soak up some sunshine and see what the day will bring without pre-committing yourself to expensive nighttime plans. Don't forget you can party anywhere, but sea-swimming outside is a bit trickier to arrange! You don't want to come home with the main impression of your holidays being a night-club!
3. Keep it simple
If you really are a tight budget, then try not to get sucked into elaborate group plans. While massive group holidays when you are a school-leaver can be fun, as you get older smaller more laid-back holidays can be the way forward, and since you won't be catering for multiple people's needs, simpler to arrange too.
If you are travelling with just a friend or a significant other you can share a room reasonably which will bring down the costs. Or if you are confident single traveller, why not live life on the edge and wait on tenterhooks for that unbelievable last minute deal? Many hotels will lower their prices close to the reservation time if they have empty rooms to try and recoup some of their costs and the same goes for airlines, so do keep a look out.
4. All-in-one & Last Minute
Or how about considering a package holiday? You may think that package holidays are too pricy and it is cheaper to book it yourself separately, but this is not always the case. Many package holiday operators often have agreements with hotels, and since they are buying rooms in bulk this can help keep costs low. Add into this your food budget, airport transfers and the security that your holiday is ATOL protected, and you really can get a good deal. If you do go down the package holiday route, then try and choose a tour operator that is a specialist to the area too; for holidays to the Med check out Mark Warner packages as they exclusively run holidays to the Mediterranean meaning they can really help ensure the best deal. Still not convinced? If you have flexible holidays, just keep your eye out for last minute package holiday deals and you really can bag the bargain of the year.
5. Glamping
Still yearning to save pennies? Have you considered glamping it up in style? If you are planning a shorter break of 3-4 days then a peaceful camping holiday could be just the thing, and a great way to go back to basics. European camp sites are pro with the amenities that you need, with many boasting wifi and charging stations nowadays.
Italy in particular is a great spot for some camping with nearly 900 Euro-camping accredited campsites throughout the country. From the beach, to the lakes, to the mountains and oh-so fashionable cities, take your pick! With lightweight tents available you can fly out with them easily or even just rent one from the campsite as you prefer. Check out the official Euro-camping site for Italy here.
6. Get to the Mountains
Speaking of the mountains, how about a summertime mountain holiday? Ski resorts that are bustling and pricy metropolis' in wintertime, become dopey mountain towns by summer, and as such the chalets see their prices slashed. The southern-Alps across France are particularly cheap in the summer months, yet are blessed weather-wise with glorious sunshine, fresh Alpine air and of course absolutely breath-taking views. If you'd rather a peaceful mountain retreat than a crowded seaside town for your bargain holiday then do consider looking up summertime chalet holidays.
If you really are desperate for a sunshine holiday, but looking at your piggy bank it looks unlikely, then don't lose hope. If you're home isn't blessed with balmy summer sunshine, then travelling abroad is cheaper and easier than ever, and a change of scene can do the world of good. So get planning, make your budget and stick to it! Oh, and enjoy that sunshine!
How about you, in what way did you travel with a limited budget?

To say that I am happy with how this turned out would be the understatement of the century. I have been thinking about making this for a long time so I have built it up in my mind. Usually when I do that the final outcome is a bit of a letdown. In this case though I was pleasantly surprised!
The main fabric is a decorator weight fabric from Spotlight. I used a basic cotton poplin for the pink portion and added some gold rope to tie the posts and as ties on the doors. I really love this colour scheme. Pink, black and gold is just perfection! When we move Imogen into a big bed I want to give her room a makeover using this teepee as a starting point.
Luckily for me Imogen also loved her teepee. She crawled straight into it and sat inside drinking her bottle. I think I would called that a gift making success!
The best part of the teepee is that it can be collapsed and packed away when not in use. Ideally I would like to have it up in her room permanently. I am thinking of making a pink cushion to go inside and making it into a bit of a reading nook. One day!

New York City's mayor Bill de Blasio has called on the city's $160 billion public pension funds to dump their investments in coal companies and reconsider investments in other fossil fuels as he pushes a clean energy agenda for the city.
De Blasio's comments on Tuesday are the latest in a growing chorus advocating cutting coal from public pension portfolios. His remarks come after California lawmakers passed a bill requiring the state's pension funds to sell their investments in coal companies earlier this month.

"New York City is a global leader when it comes to taking on climate change and reducing our environmental footprint. It's time that our investments catch up - and divestment from coal is where we must start," de Blasio said in a statement.
New York City's five public pension funds have around $33 million in thermal coal investments, the mayor's office said. Each of the funds is run by a separate board that has to sign off on investment decisions.

Body Fat Calculators
How to Calculate Body Fat
Body fat scales claim to measure body fat quickly and conveniently. These body fat scales use the Bioelectrical Impedance method to measure your body fat percentage. A low-level electrical current is passed through your body and the "impedance", or opposition to the flow of current, is measured. The result is used in conjunction with your weight and other factors to determine your body fat percentage. Unfortunately, your body's "impedance level" can be altered by many factors besides body fat. For instance, the amount of water in your body, your skin temperature and recent physical activity can all adversely affect the results.So only by following strict rules can you hope to get an accurate measurement of your body fat using these scales. The most important rules to observe in order to make a more accurate calculation of your body fat are:
Measuring body fat with a set of body fat calipers is the most cost effective way to determine fat levels. But it's important to use them correctly. For instance, either have a professional take the measurements for you or buy a set of Accumeasure calipers (callipers) and follow the measuring instructions. Accumeasure are the only calipers than allow you to test yourself and most studies have shown that they are very accurate.
Hydrostatic weighing (underwater weighing) is the most accurate way to calculate body fat - that is, if you can find a hydrostatic weighing tank.
How does hydrostatic weighing calculate body fat? By using Archimedes Principle. Your examiner first calculates your body density by measuring the amount of water you displace when you immerse yourself in water. Then a formula is used to calculate body fat based on your body density. The problem is finding a facility (University, major gym or fitness center) which has a hydrostatic weighing tank!!
|Women (% Fat)
|Men (% Fat)
|Essential Fat
|10-12 percent
|2-4 percent
|14-20 percent
|6-13 percent
|21-24 percent
|14-17 percent
|25-31 percent
|18-25 percent
Body fat is an important element in successful weight control. Body fat requires fewer calories than muscle. So the less fat/more muscle we have, the more calories we can eat before gaining weight. Body fat is often expressed as our "Body Fat Percentage" or "Body Fat Percent." Body fat percentage is the amount of body-fat-tissue as a percentage of total body weight. If your total body weight is 160 pounds and you have 32 pounds of fat, your body fat percentage is 20 percent.
The higher your percentage of fat above average levels, the higher your health risk for weight-related illness, like heart disease, high blood pressure, gallstones, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, and certain cancers. Also, the higher your percentage of fat (and the smaller your percentage of muscle) the less calories you need to maintain your weight and therefore the easier it is to gain weight. This is because muscle is more metabolically active than fat tissue.
For a concise explanation of how ALL surplus calories (from fats, protein AND carbs) are converted to body fat and stored as adipose tissue, see How We Gain Body Fat?

One of my great interests and joys in life is foraging for food that tastes just as good as--or better than-- anything that can be purchased, but that is, of course, free. Free is what foraging is all about, after all.
One of the best high-value forageable foods is berries. Here in the north, there are wild red raspberries and blackberries, which I've been impatiently waiting for. We're still a few weeks from ripe raspberries, I think, but this weekend A. casually mentioned that the kids had found wild strawberries in the grass by the house.
HOLD UP. Wild strawberries? SHOW ME IMMEDIATELY.
I've had a great desire to try a wild strawberry for some years. I've read about them in various books, but I had no idea they grew here. At Blackrock, there was a plant that grew something that looked like a strawberry, but wasn't. A. called them mock strawberries. He informed me that it's easy to tell them from the real wild strawberries. The mock berries hold the fruits straight up on the stalk, whereas the real strawberries bend towards the ground on the stalk.
I didn't verify this information, but since I have to assume he'd be loathe to poison his pregnant wife, I took his word for it and went out to pick some bendy wild strawberries.
Unfortunately, it had rained that morning, so the berries were sort of waterlogged. This dilutes their flavor, which I wasn't blown away by. They definitely tasted like strawberries, but they didn't have the intensity of flavor I was hoping for. This is true of any berry after it rains. It's best to pick them on hot, sunny days.
Nonetheless, I continued to pick them. And dude, that is definitely a commitment. Wild strawberries are TINY. They're about the size of a wild raspberry, and they look kind of like them too. That familiar, almost heart-shaped strawberry shape with the tapered bottom is not what wild strawberries look like. And unlike raspberries, they don't grow clustered on canes that are conveniently up off the ground. They grow spread out and low down to the ground, and many of them were covered by long grass.
Of course, they also don't have thorns, so there is that in their favor.
In the end, I got about a quarter-cup of strawberries after picking for 15 minutes.
Immediately after taking this photo, I covered these eensy weensy berries in sugar and heavy cream, as is their God-given destiny.
The children of course wanted some strawberries, too, so I sent them out to get their own. I figure they're lower to the ground than I am; it's easier for them to pick strawberries, right?
Right. Plus, after all the effort, I didn't feel like sharing.
I was excited to finally try wild strawberries, but I think I'll stick to buying quarts of tame ones at the Amish farm. All of a sudden $3.50 a quart seems like a very fair price.
But when the red raspberries get ripe? Then the foraging is on for real.

She has worked in intensive care, palliative care, and hospice, gaining practical experience navigating patients and families through the process of palliative care and hospice from admission and initiation of care through discharge or death.
Angela is a member of the Hospice and Palliative Care Nurses Association, and currently works as an Admission Nurse and Patient/Family Educator for a non-profit hospice organization, Hospice Austin.
Before becoming a Registered Nurse, Angela worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant working in convalescent homes and Alzheimer's/dementia centers.
Angela has a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Virginia Commonwealth University's Medical College of Virginia and is a licensed, practicing RN in California. She is also certified as a hospice and palliative care nurse.
This site is designed for patients, families, and caregivers who are faced with life-threatening illness and are seeking information about palliative care or hospice. It is also designed to offer support and resources to help navigate through the difficult and often confusing decisions that need to made during this time. I've done my best to make this site comprehensive, guiding you through the palliative care process from diagnosis to death and beyond.
While we all know that illness and death are natural and inevitable parts of life, they are usually not easy ones to come to terms with. I believe that with the right information and support, fighting a life-threatening illness or facing death can be done without fear and distress but with courage and resolve.

Students at Michigan's Linden High School recently voted Danny Leideker, an 18-year-old teenager with autism spectrum disorder, homecoming king. This seems to be part of a growing trend of students embracing those with differences, according to an article in The Huffington Post.
Leideker, the Linden High School football team's manager, has Asperger's syndrome, which can make it difficult to form friendships and forge social connections. But he was befriended by a small group of students, including the team's captain, Eddie Walterhouse, who stuck by him through his tough high school years.
In a report by Michigan Live, Walterhouse said, "There's more to life than school and football and he's shown me that."

Research Activities
Experimental Solid State Physics (X.D. Cui)
The emphasis of this research lab is on characterizations and applications of low dimensional materials, particularly emerging semiconductors.
Novel Optical Properties of Semiconductor Nanostructures (S.J. Xu)
Optical properties including nonlinear optical properties, electronic structures, electron-phonon interactions, ultrafast phenomena, phonon and defect states in new semiconductor nanostructures such as self-assembled quantum dots, nanocrystals and new two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides are our current research interests. In addition, optoelectronic device applications of the semiconductor nanostructures are also our research interest. The materials being investigated by us include III-nitrides, SiC, traditional III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors as well as new 2D transition metal dichalcogenides. The laboratory has been already equipped by variable-temperature (4.2 K-300 K) photoluminescence system, scanning confocal micro-Raman image/spectroscopy system, variable-temperature (10 K-330 K) broadband (200 nm-1700 nm) emission/absorption/reflection spectroscopy, pump-probe based ultrafast (sub-ps) and gated integrator + boxcar averager based (20 ns to ms) time-resolved photoluminescence system, and newly-established low-temperature magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy with super high spectral resolution. Currently, a pump-probe based fs laser source + scanning confocal microscopy system is being implemented by us, which enables us optically investigate ultrafast quantum processes and even imagine such processes occurring in individual semiconductor nanostructures.

Sometimes the littlest changes can make the biggest difference. Through four small additions that totaled less than 3,500 square feet, Vanman Architects and Builders was able to help Bloomington, Minn.-based St. Bonaventure Catholic Church attain its goal of welcoming the nearby community to "discover the glory of God."
Vanman was able to address the immediate needs of the St. Bonaventure Catholic Church, which included the need for a youth center, a meeting room, a larger gathering space, and bathroom updates. Additionally, an exterior update created a welcoming presentation to the community.
Initially hired for a youth space connecting the sanctuary to the school on the site, Vanman quickly turned its attention to other spatial issues. The church building was trapped in the 1960s. The structure was imposing, with a low, dark entry a small gathering space. This entry limited fellowship and made it nearly impossible to facilitate a formal entrance or exit during weddings and funerals. Moreover, the existing bell tower sits on the building setback line, limiting the ability to build a gathering at the entry of the sanctuary. By sacrificing a minimal amount of seating in the pews, Vanman was able to push the exterior wall to the setback line and create a new gathering space that wraps around the rear of the sanctuary and connects to the new youth room. This renovation lost the existing cry room as a result. So, Vanman made the back wall of the sanctuary out of glass, allowing for overflow seating, cry room, and a clear line of sight from the new gathering into the sanctuary to the altar. The renovation provides a view of the altar from any point in the fellowship and gathering.
The existing bathrooms were in need of an update, but squeezing new ones into the plan proved to be problematic. Instead, a rarely-used kitchen was relocated into the fellowship space and additional bathrooms were retrofitted inside the existing space. An addition south of the bell tower created a much needed meeting room that opens through the unused bell tower.
4 Additions/Expansions (St. Bonaventure Catholic Community)
Bloomington, Minnesota
Project Size: 801-2000 seats
Completion Date: September 1, 2014
The multi-purpose youth room and the meeting room were two more rooms that had been created through the inventive addition to the entrance. The south west addition houses a youth room with a separate entrance for security during after-hours use.
High windows bring natural light into the new gathering space and into the sanctuary, opening the entire space. What had been low and dark was now high and bright, and the bell tower (previously featureless excepting the bells) added a sculpted design and cross, an identity the church had lacked previously.
The new additions have rooflines that direct the eye up and to the cross at the center. Windows provide transparency and visibility. Stone detailing broke the imposing all brick façade and echoed back to the fireplace inside. The existing side entrances to the church originally opened directly into the sanctuary and were set back into the building, creating a dark and foreboding invitation. Vanman pushed the entrances to the exterior wall, creating a warm welcome.
The history of the church and its longevity in the community inspired Vanman to celebrate the existing building by framing the bell tower and bringing the original date stone forward in the new stone wall.
The most interesting comment received was what the additions did for a need that the congregation did not know it had. The new organic and free-flowing gathering space, with its nooks and crannies, proved conducive for one-on-one conversation and private study that had not been possible before. A congregation that once did not stay after church began to linger. Bible studies turned into conversation groups. The fireside room in the old bell tower became a place to gather.

Now that Duke and Mara (but mostly Mara) have killed Pete, the contagion Trouble that Dr. Cross found so fascinating has vanished. Nevertheless, she sticks around and keeps working on an overall cure for the Troubles.
It isn't long before there is another Trouble to study. When Marcy, a worker at a local café, falls to pieces and a teenage boy transforms from muscular to skinny in a matter of moments, Nathan and Audrey discover that this new Trouble can alter people physically. Soon, they track the Trouble down to Samantha, the daughter of the café owner. Even though Samantha's Trouble is somehow having a positive affect on Audrey's sickness, Audrey decides to help talk Samantha down anyway. When Audrey gets to the café she sees that Samantha's Trouble has turned Samantha's mother Janet into a little girl.
Once Audrey helps undo the Trouble, Samantha's mom reverts to normal and Audrey's cells start deteriorating again—something that has been happening very slowly since she and Mara split into two different people.
Dr. Cross promises to help Audrey and, when questioned about why she hasn't reported in to the CDC, she says that she's scared the CDC will bungle the situation. That explanation is enough to satisfy Audrey and Dwight but not Vince, who thinks that Dr. Cross has her own agenda.
Since everyone in town has been trying to get their hands on the rest of the Aether, it isn't much of a surprise when it goes missing. Lots of blame gets spread around before Nathan and Dwight discover that a member of The Guard stole the Aether. The question is why?
Duke wanted to get his hands on the Aether so he could convince Mara to help him alter one of his Troubles. Not that he would have to do much convincing. Mara seems to have fallen for Duke and refuses to leave his side, even when he releases a Trouble that could kill them both.
Now that Dr. Cross is definitely sticking around in Haven, Dwight intends to pursue her romantically but he has no idea that she is secretly studying Audrey. Is it to help her, or hurt her?

On the design front the new Inspiron can best be described as pleasant. The colourful exterior is a nice touch, while the Microsatin finish has a classy feel and has the added benefit of being surprisingly durable and scratch resistance. This is certainly of real benefit, especially since the majority of notebooks with colourful finishes are far too prone to scratches and generally not very durable. Do bear in mind though that you have to pay £10.99 extra for a Microsatin finish, should that be what you want.
However, this aside there's nothing about the new Inspiron chassis that screams out at you, and certainly nothing that justifies the 'Fashionista' tag. It doesn't help matters that it's a pretty bulky machine, measuring 358mm wide, 269mm deep and 37mm tall while weighing in at 3.2kg with its extended 9-cell battery. On the inside things are kept simple with an all silver finish and a general lack of too much paraphernalia; just a Power button, a shortcut to Dell's Media Center rip-off and some media control keys that are discreetly embedded into the front edge.
A similar story can be told of the connectivity options, which are fairly thorough but lacking in a few fundamental ways. On the left edge there's a Wi-Fi On/Off switch, 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks and a 54mm Express Card slot. On the front edge there isn't a great deal to see, just an infrared sensor, media keys and the two speakers which point downward. These are fairly decent speakers, achieving some surprisingly high volumes and sporting sufficient clarity for film dialogue.
Moving to the right edge there are two USB ports, which are mounted horizontally above and below each other, a 10/100 Ethernet port, D-Sub, a 4-pin FireWire port and an 8-in-1 card reader, with the rest of the space taken up by the optical drive. Finally, on the back, there's a 7-pin S-Video, two further USB ports, the DC-in and a modem port.
There are two notable absentees from this list; these namely being an S/PDIF jack, be it a combined or standalone port, or an HDMI output. These are two things that in this day and age are nigh on essentials, especially for a notebook of this size that claims to be about multimedia and entertainment.
When you also consider that a competing notebook such as Acer's Aspire 5920 has both S/PDIF and an HDMI output as well as D-Sub, a 7-pin S-Video out and Dolby Home Theatre support, then the multimedia credentials of the Inspiron 1520 look dubious. Intriguingly, Dell does provide an option for a Blu-ray drive, and presumably Dell does add an HDMI port if this is selected.

Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair may have been given a lifeline in his stumbling career, as Southampton are reportedly ready to offer £2.5 million despite the uncertain future of Mauricio Pochettino.
Sinclair, who was setting the Premier league alight with Swansea only two seasons ago, has suffered quite a nightmare ever since he swapped the Liberty Stadium for the Etihad, having hardly played.
The 25-year-old is now desperate to revive his career and with Man City almost guaranteed to let him go to help trim their squad to coincide with UEFA's Financial Fair Play, Southampton could be the best place to go.
Ever since Sinclair set foot in Manchester he has been a background figure; a significant contrast to his inspiring performances with Swansea the previous season.
It was pretty clear from the off that then-City boss Roberto Mancini wasn't too keen on Sinclair as he was barely utilised, eventually leading to him being loaned out to West Brom last summer. This begs to offer the question, why did City buy him in the first place?
The mere fact that Sinclair was bought for £6.2 million, a drop in the ocean for the big spending Citizens, strongly suggested that he would only be used as a good 'emergency' squad player and would rarely see the glamour of the first team.
Some would see this, especially Swansea fans, as a complete and utter waste of talent and, worse yet, English talent. Yet again, another promising young English player shot down by his temptation to win trophies and earn the big bucks.
Be that as it may, Sinclair now has a huge opportunity to rebuild his career at a team that could suit him perfectly. It would also suit Southampton, who have been missing a clever, pacy winger ever since Jason Puncheon departed.
As well as this, Saints are a team on the up, playing a similar exciting, stylish attacking football to his former club Swansea. Playing alongside players such as Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Jay Rodriguez, who are all very much part of Roy Hodgson's future plans, an England call-up might not be far away, should Sinclair cement a first team place. This all seems like a bit of a no-brainer for Sinclair.

Comprehensive resources including lesson plans, digital games, assessments, professional development for teachers, and family education materials to teach students safe and responsible technology use.
Editor's Note: This article was the first published in the June 2008 World Cities Summit edition of ETHOS .
At the dawn of a new century, broad demographic, economic and environmental forces are giving American cities their best chance in decades to thrive and prosper. The renewed relevance of cities derives in part from the very physical characteristics that distinguish cities from other forms of human settlement: density, diversity of uses and functions, and distinctive design.
Across the United States (U.S.), a broad cross section of urban practitioners—private investors and developers, government officials, community and civic leaders—are taking ambitious steps to leverage the distinctive physical assets of cities and maximise their economic, fiscal, environmental and social potential.
A special class of urban interventions—what we call "transformative investments"—is emerging from the millions of transactions that occur in cities every year. The hallmark of transformative investments is their catalytic nature and seismic impact on markets, on people, on the city landscape and urban possibilities—far beyond the geographic confines of the project itself.
Recognising and replicating the magic of transformative investments, and making the exception become the norm is important if U.S. cities are to realise their full potential.
THE URBAN MOMENT The U.S. is undergoing a period of dynamic change, comparable in scale and complexity to the latter part of the nineteenth century. Against this backdrop, there is a resurgence in the importance of cities due to their fundamental and distinctive physical attributes.
Cities offer a broad range of physical choices—in neighbourhoods, housing stock, shopping venues, green spaces and transportation. These choices suit the disparate preferences of a growing population that is diverse by race, ethnicity and age.
Cities are also rich with physical amenities—mixed-use downtowns, historic buildings, campuses of higher learning, entertainment districts, pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods, adjoining rivers and lakes—that are uniquely aligned with preferences in a knowledge-oriented, post-industrial economy. A knowledge economy places the highest premium on attracting and retaining educated workers, and an increasing proportion of these workers, particularly young workers, value urban quality of life when making their residential and employment decisions.
Finally, cities, particularly those built in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, are compactly constructed and laid out along dense lines and grids, enhancing the potential for the dynamic, random, face-to-face human exchange prized by an economy fuelled by ideas and innovation. Such density also makes cities perfect agents for the efficient delivery of public services as well as the stewardship of the natural environment.Annotation Asia Near East Asia - South Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Authorized Agent Automated Broker Interface (ABI) Automated Export System (AES) Automated Export System Trade Interface Requirements (AESTIR) Automated Foreign Trade Zone Reporting Program (AFTZRP) Balance Balance of Payments (BOP) Bill of Lading (BL) Bonded Warehouse Booking DOROTHEE SCHUMACHER Ankle boots online cheap quality aAgeC
The Customs value is the value of imports as appraised by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection in accordance with the legal requirements of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. This value is generally defined as the price actually paid or payable for merchandise when sold for exportation to the United States, excluding U.S. import duties, freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing the merchandise to the United States. The term "price actually paid or payable" means the total payment (whether direct or indirect, and exclusive of any costs, charges, or expenses incurred for transportation, insurance, and related services incident to the international shipment of the merchandise from the country of exportation to the place of importation in the United States) made, or to be made, for imported merchandise by the buyer to, or for the benefit, of the seller. In the case of transactions between related parties, the relationship between buyer and seller should not influence the Customs value.
Whether you're looking for an adventure or you simply love to visit new places, Osaka is one city that should be at the top of your list. While most people would pick Europe as their destination of choice,

Here are the top five things to add to your Osaka itinerary:
Dubbed as the Times Square of Japan, Dotonbori has a string of restaurants that you will love having the opportunity to try. Being a stranger in a foreign land is not easy, so it would be best to plan out where you'd like to eat ahead of time. This is one stop you'll want to put at the top of your list.2. Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan

houses many species of ocean life from the Pacific Ocean. The site is extensive, taking a circular path that provides stunning, up-close views of whale sharks and other magnificent creatures of the deep.
See all of Osaka at the top of the Tempozan Ferris Wheel. Riding this will really take your appreciation of Japan to new heights. From 112 meters up, the Tempozan has an amazing view of the suspension bridge and the Osaka Bay. The best time to try ride the ferris wheel is at dusk so you can experience the sunset while waiting for the city lights to come on. There is also an option to ride in a glass bottom carriage that will make you feel like you're floating on air, but the line for this can run pretty long. You should opt for the traditional carriage if you want to avoid a wait.4. Osaka Full-Day Tour with River Cruise
This tour is a six-hour guided experience that includes lunch and a river cruise. You'll see Osaka's most Instagram-worthy landmarks, including the Floating Garden Observatory and the Osaka Castle. You'll also get a chance to visit the Twin Towers City Hall. Luckily, the package includes entrance fees for all of the stops on the tour.5. National Bunraku Theater
To get a real feel for Japan's culture, check out the Bunraku Theater . It traces its roots back to the 18th to 19th centuries, and it's amazing how Osaka has been able to maintain the art. It also houses surprisingly large puppets that are half the size of an average human. If you chooseto stay for an elaborate puppetry performance, you may want to make some room in your schedule, as the show can last for up to about four hours.

As the Acting Governor of the Trans-Baikal Region Natalia Zhdanova told reporters, the local budget only has enough money to pay salaries to public sector employees until October.
"Salaries of public sector employees are calculated till October. We continue the search for additional sources of funding," Zhdanova said.
However, she did not specify how much money is needed to pay salaries until the end of the year.
This situation has been known since the spring. In April, the Minister of Finance of the Trans-Baikal Territory Andrew Kefer said that the budget for teachers' salaries is only enough until September.
According to the Legislative Assembly of the region, the lack of funds for the salaries of state employees is 7 billion rubles (approx. $110 million – RRT), 1.4 billion rubles for social payments (approx. $22 million – RRT), and 1.2 billion rubles for the payments to the unemployed (approx. $19 million – RRT).
Delays in social payments and salaries to state employees became one of the main problems in the Trans-Baikal region in 2015, which led to rallies, pickets, and teachers' strikes.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford has thrown her support behind a campaign to help a young boy with leukemia find a bone marrow donor.
Chase Foley was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when he was four weeks old and must undergo a bone marrow transplant to save his life.
Crawford, who has been working with Delete Blood Cancer DKMS since 2007, lost her brother to the blood cancer when she was a young child, and after hearing about the two-year-old's ordeal, the beauty felt compelled to lend a hand.
She tells People.com, "I lost my little brother, Jeff, to leukemia when I was just 10 years old. Sadly, a bone marrow transplant wasn't an option for him then.
"But today, we have the chance to save the life of little Chase Foley and countless other children. We need your help to find him a bone marrow donor."

A lot of marriages turn into nothing more than a series of arguments. You and your spouse may argue about
finances, disciplining the kids, and what to do on the weekends. You may feel like there is nothing that you don't
argue about because any time you try to have a conversation with your spouse, it ends up with the two of you
yelling at each other.
Couples can develop a habit of arguing. The way you talk and think becomes aggressive and combative. All
relationships are going to have some conflict so the key is to learn how to handle the conflict. A couple that
handles conflict well will be happily married while a couple that doesn't may end up divorced.
All the arguing is very likely a sign that there are some serious problems in your marriage. Sometimes
resentment and anger build up in a marriage. When that happens, these emotions are expressed constantly. If you
have a lot of resentment about your husband spending time with his friends, you are going to become angry whenever
he even talks about his friends around you.
The problem is your spouse does not know how you feel when he does what he does. He is not doing anything wrong
by talking about his friends but you are upset because you feel he puts his friends before you. You react in a
negative and angry way and the argument just gets worse and worse. The real problem is not addressed.
Fight Fair
You may be arguing the wrong way instead of the right way. All marriages are going to have arguments every so
often. While a few arguments between a husband and wife are normal, having numerous intense arguments can cause
serious problems in a marriage.
When you and your spouse argue all the time, your marriage may be in trouble. It is easy for spouses to figure
out how to make their partner angry. You know what to tell your spouse to make him angry so you choose angry words
so you can express your emotions. It is not a good way to express yourself, though.
All you have to do to start a fight with your spouse is tell him that he always makes you upset and that if he
keeps doing whatever he is doing, you will leave him. This type of communication will cause your spouse to be
defensive. It is important to learn how to communicate in a way that is going to be positive instead of
Work on Listening
If you are having arguments that get out of hand, your relationship may be in trouble. If you keep having the
same fights with your husband, you are obviously not solving the problems that is causing them. You need to think
about what it is your husband needs before you get angry at him.
If you think about how your husband's best friend is going through a rough time, it makes sense that he would
spend a lot of time with him. He doesn't want to worry you so he doesn't talk to you about it but he gets angry if
you bring it up.
It is not easy to stop a pattern of arguing once you and your spouse get started on this road. You both are
quick to say things that hurt each other and once you do that, you cannot take them back and can't stop the
argument. It is important to express how you really feel instead of focusing on your emotions.
It is a good idea to work with a counselor who can help you learn how to express yourself in a healthier way.
One thing you need to do is focus on using "I" statements when talking to your spouse. Don't focus on what is wrong
with your spouse. Instead, talk about how you feel and what you think. That makes it easier to communicate and
avoid arguments.
Counseling is very important if changing your behavior by yourself is not working for you. If you let the
arguing go on, you can ruin your marriage and you may end up divorced. Arguing about the same things over and over
doesn't solve a problem. A counselor will be able to work with you to figure out what the problems really are and
how you can work on solving them.
