but before i get to the outfit of the hour, let's discuss the title of this post.
1. Le Pain Quotidien (translation: THE DAILY BREAD) – a boulangerie chain scattered throughout the city where you can find fresh-baked bread, french pasties, soups and such. when in doubt, carbs will always do the trick.
2. Le Pain Quotidien (fashion translation: THE DAILY WARDROBE NECESSITY) – simple, timeless pieces that can be worn wherever, whenever. i.e. a white, long cotton linen dress. when in doubt, keep it fresh n white.
all together now: i took a walk in my 'hood in the upper west side and had a sudden craving for some good ol' bread with some extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip. a visit to Le Pain and a local grocer got me exactly what i wanted. it's the littlest things that make me soo happy.
dress: zara
necklace: from my roommate Eric's collection
wing ring: f21

WASHINGTON — A computer scientist who has been a consultant to the military for more than a decade has resigned from a Star Wars advisory panel, convinced its complex anti-missile defense will not work and research for it will be a waste of money.
''My judgment is that research in Star Wars is going to fail and I believe this so strongly that I'm willing to stake my professional reputation on this,'' said David Parnas, a professor at the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia. ''I don't believe anybody is going to build this thing.''

An overhead view of a site plan for the St. Vincents Hospital rebuilding project, showing the new, football-shaped hospital, north of 12th St., and the renovated, landscaped triangle, south of 12th St.
Meeting looks at all sides of St. Vincents Triangle
By Albert Amateau
Neighbors of St. Vincents Hospital came up with some basic ideas last week about what they want to see in the proposed park to be developed in the triangle across from the hospital.
They said they want it green, quiet and accessible. Some said the triangle at Father Demo Square on Sixth Ave. at Bleecker and Carmine Sts. should be the model, and others suggested the model should be the Abingdon Square Park triangle on Eighth Ave. at Hudson and W. 12th Sts.
The ideas were developed at the May 7 meeting of the Community Board 2 St. Vincents Omnibus Committee, which was organized by Project for Public Spaces, the nonprofit group that has helped plan parks across the nation, including Bryant Park at 42nd St.
St. Vincents Hospital has agreed to devote half of the triangle, bounded by Seventh and Greenwich Aves. and W. 12th St., to public use after the new hospital is built on the site of St. Vincents current OToole Building. The hospital rebuilding project, including the residential project on the east side of Seventh Ave., has yet to complete the public approval process, and the proposed triangle park will also need Landmarks Preservation Commission and City Planning Commission approval.
This is the first phase of a wide public process for the St. Vincents Triangle, said Brad Hoylman, Community Board 2 chairperson. It was also the first time the community board has worked directly with Project for Public Spaces, he said, adding that C.B. 2 member Shirley Secunda is a former P.P.S. staff member.
The triangle, formerly the site of a movie theater, has been hospital property for more than 30 years. The sites western half currently accommodates loading docks and oxygen-tank storage for the hospital, and will continue in that function after the new hospital is built.
The park is planned for the eastern half of the triangle, which measures 133 feet by 156 feet by 120 feet and is currently elevated and planted with trees. However, the proposed park could be developed at grade level, said Ethan Kent, P.P.S. vice president.
The May 7 session was divided into five working groups of five or six members each led by a C.B. 2 member. It was assumed many of the park users would be hospital staff, outpatients and visitors, plus local residents, particularly from the residential project proposed for the current hospital location on Seventh Ave.s east side.
The consensus was that the site is too small to have a park building or a food kiosk. One member, however, suggested that a mobile coffee cart would be a welcome amenity and easy to accommodate. Most people felt the site was also too small for a childrens playground.
Shade trees were important for most people, but some said they preferred trees, flowers and shrubs to be in planters located among benches and tables. Others called for bike racks to be included in the park.
Many participants said there should be no formal programming for the park. Several said it should be closed at night. Others called for Wi-Fi to allow visitors with laptops to go online in the park.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - A.J. Burnett scattered four hits over seven strong innings to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 on Saturday night.
Burnett (9-11) struck out a season-high 12 as the Pirates moved a game in front of Cincinnati for the top spot in the NL wild-card race. Jason Grilli worked the ninth for his 31st save, his first since going to the disabled list with a strained right forearm in July.
Russell Martin hit a two-run homer and Jose Tabata added two hits as the Pirates bounced back from a late collapse in a loss on Friday night.
Zach Cozart hit his 12th home run of the season for Cincinnati and Ryan Ludwick added an RBI but Homer Bailey (11-11) ended a winning streak at six straight decisions.

Our Deodorized Cocoa Butter is a pure, crushed cocoa butter obtained from the cacao bean. It has been deodorized to remove the chocolate aroma and has been decolorized to make it white. The fat from the cocoa pod is a very stable fat containing natural anitoxidants that give it a long shelf life of over 3 years.
Cocoa Butter is a soothing emollient that has been used for centuries in Africa as a skin care ingredient. It has been used to heal and moisturize skin that has been exposed to the elements. It also helps reduce the formation of stretch marks during pregnancy by keeping the skin supple. Cocoa Butter makes a wonderful ingredient in lotion bars, lip balms, body butters, soaps and belly balms for expectant mothers. Cocoa Butter is also a great binder for bath bombs.
Please Note: During transit, vegetable butters may possibly melt or partially melt. Some butters may crystallize if they resolidify too slowly. This does not impact the quality or usability of the butter. Most of our customers are artisans and personal care manufacturers that melt vegetable butters for incorporation into personal care products. A grainy texture only affects those customers that have the desire to use butters "as is." Click here to learn how to eliminate crystallization
About Our Vegetable Butter Packaging: Our butters are packaged in airtight plastic containers, not retail packaging. We are a wholesale supplier, and most of our customers use our butters in their product formulations. Butters can sometimes melt during transit, and these containers help ensure that the butters don't leak. For a selection of glass and plastic easy-open jars that are wonderful to use in conjunction with our butters, look to our Packaging section.

How Santa almost ruined Christmas Eve: when good ideas go bad
Posted by Dr. Claire McCarthy December 27, 2013 07:12 AM
Because of Santa Claus, my youngest child was certain that he was going to ruin Christmas for everyone.
Somehow, I don't think that's how it's supposed to work.
Liam is 8 and believes firmly in Santa Claus. It's very sweet. His four older siblings think it's sweet too, and help by doing things like talking about hearing hoofbeats on the roof, or hiding Amazon boxes, or weaving stories to answer Liam's innumerable questions. Michaela, 22, got the NORAD app on her phone so that Liam could track Santa on Christmas Eve.
"It says that he usually comes between 9 and 12," she told him. "But he only comes when everyone is asleep."
Almost immediately, Liam got anxious. "Everyone needs to go to bed," he told us. "We've got time," said Michaela. "He's in Brazil." Liam was not convinced.
I put Liam to bed. When I went up with his sister a half hour later, he was still awake, and getting worried. "What if I can't fall asleep?" he asked. "You will," I told him.
An hour later, he called me up. "I'm still awake," he said. "Don't think about sleeping," I said. "Make up a story in your head or something." I got the Christmas presents out with the help of the older kids (my husband was working the night shift) and at 11:25, just as I was putting the last of the candy in the stockings, Liam's head peered around the corner. "I can't sleep," he said.
I dove on him and pulled him out of the room, thanking God that he left his Coke-bottle glasses upstairs, and brought him back to bed. I climbed in with him; his face was wet with tears. "If I don't fall asleep," he said, "Santa won't come and nobody will get presents."
"Oh, sweetie," I said, "I'm sure he will." "No, he won't," sobbed Liam.
I shut off the lights downstairs and brought Liam into bed with me (he said that might help). He looked at the clock: it was 11:38. "There won't be any Christmas presents," he said through tears. I held him and stroked his head. "Santa will come after midnight if you're not asleep," I said. "You don't know that," he said. "You don't know what Santa will do." But I do, I thought. "He always comes, honey," I said, but it didn't help.
Right about then, my 21-year-old son decided to finish up his handmade gifts and wrap them. For reasons that were not fully clear to me, this involved lots of opening and closing doors--directly beneath my bedroom. Liam tossed and turned every time the doors closed. I texted Michaela to tell Zack to stop, but he didn't. I turned the clock so that Liam wouldn't see that it was 11:53; he was crying so hard he was shaking. Finally, I climbed out of bed, went downstairs and told Zack off in a, well, not very Christmas-y way. "I'm wrapping presents," he said reasonably. "Not here you're not," I snapped back, completely unreasonably, and stomped off.
As I got back in bed and held the trembling Liam close, I thought: this is ludicrous. The gosh-darn presents are under the tree. My younger son is a mess, and I just reamed out my older son on Christmas Eve for wrapping presents....because of Santa?
Like I said: not how it's supposed to work. How is this a good idea? And on top of everything, Santa gets all the credit for the presents. Totally ludicrous.
Liam settled, finally, and drifted into sleep. He woke in a panic on Christmas morning; he ran downstairs and came back to tell me that Santa had come after all. "I told you he would," I said. "He almost didn't," said Liam.
It all passed, of course. Liam forgot all about it once he opened the Star Wars toys Santa brought, and I apologized to Zack, who was very gracious and understanding about the whole thing. But I'm kinda feeling like after 23 Christmases with children I might have hit my Santa wall. We might just need to have a talk with Liam before next Christmas rolls around.
Although, as I think about how completely excited Liam was to see the bootprints of ash Zack made outside the fireplace...well, we'll see. Another year or two might not be terrible.
As long as we get to bed earlier.

The only way to tell for sure whether a parakeet is male or female is to have it DNA tested, states BirdTricks.com. As a rule, however, it is possible to figure out the sex of budgerigar parakeets by checking the color of the ceres, the bulging tissue above the beak.Continue Reading
For the first 8 months, both boy and girl budgies look about the same. By 4 months, the female cere turns white with a small amount of blue, becoming gray-brown at maturity. The male nasal passages develop into a blue-purple color that becomes more intense during mating. It is harder to determine the sex of pastel parakeets.Learn more about Pet Birds

Working Japan: Religion and Corporate Culture in Japan
DRC Sponsor: John Moeller
Luther College students, having just returned from their Paideia 450 trip to Japan, will share their experiences with our club. The Working Japan: Religion and Corporate Culture in Japan course of instruction explores the history and structure of Japanese religions and culture as well as their impact on communication processes and ethical decision making within and among business. Can Buddhist and Confucian values that shape Japanese culture be reconciled with the notions of success and profit? What is the role of social relationships in business decisions? What values does the stratification of relationships and communication reflect? These students have examined how history, economics, politics, society, and culture fuse to frame a business environment that can extract sizable direct and indirect costs. They also explored business settings and religious institutions during their travels in order to increase the understanding of governing principles as well as the practice of Japanese culture and communication processes.

History and Memory of the Holocaust
DRC Sponsor: Kim Bonnet
Kristin Davis is a native of Washington, Iowa and a senior at Luther College majoring in Social Work. She recently accompanied fellow Luther College History 299 students on a January-Term course in Europe and plans to share, assisted by a couple of her classmates, her amazing experiences with our club.
The History and Memory of the Holocaust course of instruction immersed students in the history of the Holocaust and the ways in which it is distinctly remembered in different European nations. The students examined the interrelated individuals, institutions, historical events, and ideologies that contributed to the state-sponsored murder of six million European Jews. They considered the ways in which this historical event has been remembered and commemorated, and the role this remembrance has played in the creation and recreation of national identities. Through the examination of museums and memorials the students compared the national histories entwined in the history and remembrance of the Holocaust, highlighting similarities and differences, and providing them a complex understanding of this historical topic.

Gundersen Global Partners Vision Initiative 2018 Trip to Nicaragua
DRC Sponsor: Jennifer Gipp
From January 16-23 this year, a team from the local Gundersen Clinc traveled to Matagalpa, Nicaragua. These annual trips under the auspices of Gundersen Global Partners provides comprehensive eye exams and glasses to rural Nicaraguans who do not have access to this level of care. Our club sponsored current Optometry Resident George Bouras and one of the local Optometry Interns, Murphy Grotewold, with $500 grants in order to faciliate their participation on this trip. They will offer a presentation and will discuss the work they did while in Nicaragua.
Global Partners-Nicaragua aims to improve the health of the people and their communities in the Matagalpa region of Nicaragua by promoting education and collaboration with Nicaraguan medical providers to improve access to vital healthcare. The program also supports changes that are seen as valuable by the citizens of the region and can be sustained by their own efforts. Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, second only to Haiti. Most of the country is mountainous and rural, making it difficult for people to access needed services and opportunities. The state of Wisconsin and the Coulee Region, in particular, enjoy a long history of partnerships with Nicaragua, making it a natural fit for Global Partners.
Feel free to visit http://www.gundersenhealth.org/foundation/programs-events/global-partners/nicaragua/#Why-Nicaragua for more information about the Global Partners projects.

The Luren Singing Society and Sangerfest 2018
DRC Sponsor: Jim Morrow
Former Luther College professor and DRC member Dr. David Judisch has served as the Norwegian Singers Association of America (NSAA) Director-in-Chief of the local Luren Singing Society for the past 33 years. Dave will be sharing information with our members on the history of the Society and details of their 150th Anniversary Sangerfest in Decorah coming up in a few short weeks.
The Luren Singing Society has been singing together since 1868, when four Norwegian men started singing to quell their homesickness for Norway. The chorus later expanded by five or six singers and over time grew to its current compostion of over 70 members. The group has traveled around the country and has made multiple excursions to Scandanavia, including a dozen trips to Norway. The Luren Singing Society sang for King Olaf of Norway three different times and has sang for King Harold once at the palace in Oslo and three times in conjunction with the King's visits to Decorah.
In honor of it's 150th anniversary in 2018, the Luren Singing Society will host the 62nd Biennial Norwegian Singers Association of America Sangerfest (i.e., songs party) at the Luther College Center for Faith and Life from May 31 - Jun 2. Ten Midwest Norwegian American male choruses comprising the NSAA will gather to celebrate Norwegian and Scandinavian music and traditions with special concerts, banquets and tours. As an added bonus, the Brødreroster Male Chorus from Hamar, Norway, also will participate. The event culminates in the Grand Concert on Saturday evening when a mass chorus of over 250 voices will sing together with orchestra accompaniment.

He joins us again to talk about his most recent work, a profile of Marieke Penterman, a woman born and raised in The Netherlands who now makes award winning Gouda cheese at her state-of-the-art facility in Thorp, Wisconsin. The film, "Marieke," is on the schedule for showing at the 2018 Oneota Film Festival and has been chosen as an official selection by eighteen film festivals (and counting). Dr. Johnson produced his first documentary film while studying as an undergraduate. He became more involved in film work during his junior and senior years at Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota. From there, he worked with various video production companies, as well as BBC-Wales and PBS. During his time at Luther College, Dr. Johnson has produced a series of noteworthy biographical films.

Advances in Immunotherepy
DRC Sponsor: Lorraine Borowski
Inspired by the suggestion of our friend and T-Bock's hostess Penny Bockman and her recent cancer treatment experience, our club will be visited by Dr. Kurt Oettel, MD, a board certified hematologist specializing in cancer and blood disorders and medical oncology at the Gundersen Heath System's La Crosse Campus. Dr. Oettel will be describing the use of imunotherepy in the context of his extensive background in the field.
Immunotherapy is treatment that uses certain parts of a person's immune system to fight diseases such as cancer. It describes the stimulation of one's own immune system to work harder or smarter to attack cancer cells. Its definition also extends to the application of immune system components, such as man-made immune system proteins, as treatment. In the last few decades immunotherapy has become an important part of treating some types of cancer. Newer types of immune treatments are now being studied, and they will likely impact how we treat cancer in the future.
Dr. Oettel attended medical school at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and performed his residency at Fletcher Allen Health Care (now known as the University of Vermont Medical Center) in Burlington, Vermont. He also completed a Fellowship in Medical Oncology at the University of Wisconsin. He presently serves as Chairman of the Gundersen Health System's Board of Oncology.

Native American boarding school abuse victims seek new law
Native American boarding school abuse victims seek new law
Native American boarding school abuse victims seek new law
By JAMES NORD
Feb. 13, 2018
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota lawmakers are considering establishing a three-year window for victims of childhood sexual abuse at Native American boarding schools to file lawsuits against organizations like schools and churches, a move that supporters say would allow survivors to have their stories heard.
The Senate Judiciary Committee plans to debate a measure Tuesday that would create the new time frame for victims to file civil claims and repeal a provision in state law banning victims 40 and older from recovering damages from people or entities other than the actual abuser.
Louise Charbonneau Aamot is one of nine sisters who unsuccessfully sued over alleged sexual abuse committed before 1975 at St. Paul's Indian Mission, a boarding school in Marty, South Dakota. The 67-year-old member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa said officials need to ensure it never happens again at any school or church.
"We know that God's with us on this journey. We've been through so much, and there's so much pain," she said. "But we're hoping, you know, they listen to us this time."
The Associated Press typically doesn't identify sexual assault victims unless they come forward publicly.
Attorney Michelle Dauphinais Echols, the bill's author, said it's for "healing and justice." Victims haven't had an opportunity to have their cases heard on the merits of their claims, she said.
"I think this would be a great first step to just try to help them along their journey to healing and closure," Dauphinais Echols said.
The South Dakota Supreme Court in 2012 dismissed the sister's and others' claims against religious groups including the Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls. The court found that the lawsuits were filed years after the applicable statute of limitations had expired and that the diocese wasn't liable because it wasn't responsible for the children.
The new legislation would clarify that any person or organization engaged in the Native American boarding school system may be held liable for childhood sexual abuse. The bill's original language would eliminate the statute of limitations, but an amendment aims to create a three-year window for filing claims, Dauphinais Echols said. It also would revive claims barred because the applicable statute of limitations has expired.
Christopher Motz, executive director of the South Dakota Catholic Conference, said the organization doesn't have a position on the bill.
Democratic Sen. Kevin Killer, the bill's sponsor, said lawmakers have the chance to end "this sad chapter" of South Dakota history by giving people due process and their day in court.
"I will fight till the day that I die," Charbonneau Aamot said in 2015. "There is no child in this world that should ever go through what we went through."

Mutual funds are investment funds that are run by a professional portfolio manager. The portfolio manager uses their knowledge and experience to decide what the best investments are for their mutual fund.
There are many types of mutual funds which can invest in different combinations of investments depending on the type of the fund. All mutual funds will hold at least a small amount of cash in addition to their regular investments.
Here are some general types of mutual funds and the types of investments you might find in them:
- Equity funds – These usually hold stocks of companies, possibly exchange traded funds (ETFs) and options in some cases. An example of an equity fund is Franklin Growth Fund.
- Bond Funds – These hold fixed income investments such as bonds and preferred shares. An example of a bond fund would be Vanguard Total Bond Market Index.
- Balanced funds – these are a combination of equity and bond funds. These funds can hold any type of investment that an equity fund and bond fund can hold. An example of a balanced fund would be American Balanced Fund.
- Target Retirement Funds – Similar to balanced funds but are geared towards a particular retirement date.
Keep in mind that index funds are also mutual funds, they are just a particular type of mutual fund.
There are also more specific types of funds available concentrating on a particular industry or geographic region. For example a country-specific fund will only invest in companies from a particular country. Franklin India Fund is a country-specific fund that only invests in Indian based companies.
An industry fund would be a fund that only invests in one industry such as oil. An oil based mutual fund might invest in oil producers, refineries, gas stations etc.

Auburn Manufacturing Introduces New Ever Green® Chill-In Insulation Kits
The All-In-One Removable/Reusable Insulation Solution for Combatting Condensation, Corrosion, and Energy Waste on Chilled Water or Dual Temperature Systems
Jan 20, 2014, 09:02 EST
MECHANIC FALLS, Maine, Jan. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Auburn Manufacturing, Inc. (AMI), a leading developer, manufacturer, and marketer of textile products for extreme temperature industrial applications, has introduced a new removable/reusable (R/R) insulation kit system for components on chilled water or dual temperature systems where vapor condensation control is a primary consideration. The new Ever Green® Chill-In vapor sealed insulation blanket system is the quick and easy solution for combatting condensation, corrosion and energy waste. It prevents surface condensation when used on a 42 degree chilled water line up to a relative humidity range of 85-90%.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140120/PH49005 )
"What we observed in the institutional/commercial market was that while piping in chilled water systems and dual temperature systems is generally well insulated, the components such as valves and fittings are not, and the result is a significant energy loss as well as water condensation and corrosion of the components and adjacent pipes," said Kathie Leonard, President and CEO of AMI. "The reason why components are left bare is most often due to their convoluted shapes and the need for access during periodic maintenance and inspection. Chill-In blanket systems are designed to be removable and reusable after installation, making them ideal for reinsulation or retrofit jobs."
Rated to Min/Max 32 degrees F/250 degrees F, Chill-In R/R kits contain everything that's needed for on-site fabrication and installation. Included are: a quilted 4 ft. x 8 ft. modularized, flexible, insulated blanket with a zero-perm vapor retarder; a 75 ft. roll of 4 in. wide zero-perm pressure sensitive tape; a 3 fluid oz. tube of silicone caulk; and a utility knife. "Using the kit allows the contractor to easily fabricate and install the removable/reusable blankets on the job site using standardized materials," said Leonard. "It simplifies removing and re-applying the blankets."
The fabrication and installation process is quick and easy. "You simply measure the component to be insulated to determine the length and width of the insulation blanket," explained Leonard, "Then cut the blanket to size, tape all exposed blanket edges, wrap the insulation around the pipe component, tape to adjacent insulation on pipe or equipment and apply silicone caulk to any blanket penetrations to create a vapor-tight seal."
Ice white in color, the 2 in. thick low-density Chill-In blanket meets 25/50 per ASTM E84. It consists of a fiberglass core sandwiched between woven fabric and laminated to a very low permeance multi-layer fabric on both sides. The quilted design aids in the flexibility, measuring and installation around convoluted surfaces. The fiberglass insulation meets ASTM C553, Type V.

Auburn Manufacturing, Inc.
Since its founding in 1979, Auburn Manufacturing, Inc., has become a leading developer, manufacturer, and marketer of textile products for hundreds of extreme temperature industrial applications throughout the world, including welding protection, industrial insulation, safety apparel, gaskets and seals, and other MROP and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) applications.

2. (n.) The action of causing to drop or of letting drop; falling.
3. (n.) That which falls in drops; the excrement or dung of animals.
International Standard Bible EncyclopediaDROP, DROPPING
"To drop" expresses a "distilling" or "dripping" of a fluid (Judges 5:4 Proverbs 3:20 Songs 5:5, 13 Joel 3:18 Amos 9:13; compare 1 Samuel 14:26, "the honey dropped" (margin "a stream of honey")); Job 29:22 and Isaiah 45:8 read "distil" (the King James Version "drop"). The continuous "droppings" of rain through a leaking roof (roofs were usually made of clay in Palestine, and always liable to cracks and leakage) on a "very rainy day" is compared to a contentious wife (Proverbs 19:13; Proverbs 27:15); "What is described is the irritating, unceasing, sound of the fall, drop after drop, of water through the chinks in the roof" (Plumptre, in the place cited); compare also the King James Version Ecclesiastes 10:18 (the Revised Version (British and American) "leaketh").

Rubal Chaudhry Brings International Experience to the JW Marriott Hotel Chandigarh
CHANDIGARH, INDIA--(Marketwired - Jan 29, 2015) - Visitors to the JW Marriott Hotel Chandigarh have come to appreciate its luxe features and convenient location. But the amenities make up only part of the equation. Just as important as thread count and spa treatments is the leadership. And thanks to the arrival of Mr. Rubal Chaudhry, that's an arena in which this luxury hotel shines brighter than any other in Chandigarh. With more than 17 years of experience and a track record for excellence, Mr. Chaudhry is poised to make the guest experience truly unforgettable in the city's best hotel.
Having joined the JW Marriott Hotel Chandigarh in November 2014, Mr. Chaudhry now oversees all hotel operations at this 164-room property. This includes guest and associate satisfaction, human resources, financial performance, sales and revenue generation, overall performance and the hotel's strategy execution.
So many responsibilities at one of the most renowned hotels in Chandigarh require Mr. Chaudhry's unique skill set. Not only has Mr. Chaudhry worked with diverse brands within the hospitality industry, but he has demonstrated a knack for success. His last position with the Hilton New Delhi/Janakpuri saw him position the hotel as a leading property in West Delhi. Such an achievement echoes the potential of this property, where well-appointed guest rooms, discerning epicurean adventures and exquisite luxuries like a rooftop pool and an acclaimed spa indulge visitors at every turn.
Mr. Chaudhry's hard-won professional experience began at DAV College Punjab University where he earned his bachelor's degree in economics. He went on to complete post-graduate work at the International Management Institute in Switzerland before completing his MBA in hospitality administration at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.A.

Also see Starting and Stopping Services on a Remote Computer
A. A. SQL has three services
- MSSQLServer
- SQLExecutive
The MSSQLServer service controls if the SQL Server is running and allows logons/transactions. The SQLExecutive service is used for alerts, scheduling and other management tasks.
MSDTC is the Distributed Transaction Coordinator and is used for consistency between server transactions and is beyond the scope of the FAQ.
These services can both be stopped/started from the Services control panel applet and you can also configure them to automatically start at bootup time by selecting one of them, clicking Startup and set to Automatic. Repeat for the other service.
To stop/start from the command line use
C:\> net stop MSSQLServer
C:\> net stop SQLExecutive
C:\> net start MSSQLServer
C:\> net start SQLExecutive
SQL actually comes with its own service manager (Start - Programs - Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 - SQL Service Manager) which enables you to start/start/pause (pause is not available for SQLExecutive) services on various SQL machines. It also shows the current state of the services in a traffic light, ahhhh :-)

Definition of pro forma
- a pro forma balance sheet
- pro forma income
The meeting was strictly pro forma, since the decision had already been made.
These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word 'pro forma.' Views expressed in the examples do not represent the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback.
A lot of things are done for the sake of appearances. A teacher might get officially observed and evaluated every three years, even though everyone knows she's terrific and the whole thing is strictly pro forma. A critic might say that a orchestral conductor gave a pro forma performance, since his heart wasn't in it. A business owner might make a pro forma appearance at the funeral of a politician's mother, never having met her but maybe hoping for a favor from her son sometime in the future. In business, pro forma has some special meanings; a pro forma invoice, for example, will list all the items being sent but, unlike a true invoice, won't be an actual bill.
First Known Use: 1823

: done or existing as something that is usual or required but that has little true meaning or importance

Living with neighbours
Be a good neighbour / minimize conflict
Living with neighbours can be an opportunity to build relationships and friendships. Being a good neighbour means building a positive relationship with the people who live next door and down the street, respecting the values and regulations in your neighbourhood, and being aware of the different lifestyles that coexist within your community. Having and being good neighbours improves community safety, as well as your own home experience.
- Go next door and introduce yourself!
Knowing your neighbours will help you better understand them, and will help them better understand you, in case any conflicts arise.
- Think about how your actions affect your neighbours' lives, and vice versa.
- Be aware of shared walls, put garbage and waste out neatly and on time, and consider how your different schedules or stages in life may affect your lifestyles.
- Keep the lines of communication open.
In the case of more serious conflicts, there are local services available to help.
ResolveKingston, operated by K3C Counselling Centres, is a local community mediation program that can help resolve conflicts with neighbours, roommates, landlords, and others, usually in one meeting.
Noise coming from inside your house that can be heard by people on other premises can violate the noise by-law.
If your neighbours, including other students, are bothered by noise from your house, they may choose to call Kingston Police or Queen's Campus Security Off-Campus Response hotline (613-533-2922).
Off-Campus Response Program
The Campus Security Off-Campus Response Program attempts to ease the strain on city resources and minimize official noise complaints.
If the off-campus response team can't resolve a complaint, they may forward details of the complaint to City Police or By-law Enforcement. The City will enforce the municipal by-law by issuing a warning or a fine. Fines may increase with subsequent violations.
The off-campus response team will also forward details to the Alma Mater Society's non-academic discipline system. The Alma Mater Society may pursue a discipline process relating to the complaint.
Municipal noise by-law prohibitions include:
Operation of any device, or group of connected devices, intended for the production, reproduction, or amplification of voices or sound. This is prohibited 24/7 in residential areas. Day or night, if your stereo is loud enough to bother your neighbours, it can be a noise by-law violation.
Yelling, shouting, hooting, whistling, singing or playing musical instruments, including percussion instruments, is not permitted from 9 pm until 7 am (9 am Sundays).

One of the great performers that just got off the Country, Pop, Rock Tour is Dalton Cyr. All the performers put on an outstanding show and Dalton was right there rockin the house with them. He is one person that his videos do not do him justice, he is a person you need to see live! He has a lot of style, and showed it off very well on tour. Dalton's show started off with an awesome entrance, coming out you could lonely see a shadow of him through the fog, then he emerges with guitar in hand jamming and the girls go, "wild", you could barely hear the music over the roar. Dalton worked the stage like he had been doing this for years. He was from one end to the other jumping up on the monitors in the corners playing and singing, and all the girls reaching out to try and touch him every chance they had. It was evident that he was having the time of his life, and he was not selfish with this. Between songs he picked a girl out of the audience and brought her on stage and sang a song to her, this was the time of, "her" life, she was so excited and happy. Dalton truly won over the audience with this move. Dalton was a real pro and put on a very exciting show. Dalton said the fans were incredible, and he does not even have the words to describe the feeling they gave him. The tour was super exciting for him, and the other artist were cool and awesome being able to perform and hang out with them. He said they became like family. One of his favorite places to perform along the tour was the Winona Coliseum in Ms. He said this was one of the hugest places he had ever seen and the stage set-up was amazing and fun to perform on. While in Winona he met a gentlemen by the name of Sargent Robert Britt, he had started an organization called Sara Smiles in honor of his daughter. Sara was helping spread the word about anti-bullying and suicide prevention. He said the man was really nice and doing great things to help people, and Dalton really appreciates that and likes that in a person.
Dalton has really come a long way from making his fist performance at the Clay Country fair in 2009. He got to perform at an Acoustic Concert when he was nine that he had watched his dad play at for a couple years. At this concert Dalton got his first standing ovation. He then moved to some more amazing things, one of which was his CD release party held August 2, 2012. This was very exciting for him. He had worked over a year to write, record and put his CD and show together. He said it was awesome to have such a huge turn out and so much support from his hometown. Dalton has also made his way to TV doing interviews about his music and has sang some of his originals live.
Dalton has written many songs, and he has a great mind when it comes to lyrics. Like many great writers, he too takes things that happen in life and puts them to music. A couple of wonderful songs that he has written are, "Your Not Alone" and "Whisper". Whisper is really an outstanding song, which he dedicated to the soldiers coming home. This is a very touching song, and you can bet this has touch many kids who have parents in the military. Dalton delivers this song with great feeling and care, showing the amazing artist that he is. This song was a combination of inspirations for him. His grandmother that he was very close to passed away and he was missing her. The military was very important to his grandmother and he also goes to school with a lot of people who have parents in the military and they talk about how much they miss them. It is this combination that brought about this song. When people talk about songs coming from the heart, this is Dalton "he" has heart!
Dalton has a lot of great performances coming up that no one should miss. In Jacksonville he will be singing the National Anthem at an NFL Jaguars game. This coming spring he will be flying out to France and will be performing at Notre Dame Cathedral and Normandy. Dalton's performances are a must see experience, he is tremendously talented and a great entertainer. You will never be bored at one of his shows. They are excellent!

Here I add a little bit of a rather pungent spice mixture to the sweet scallops. The result is absolutely fantastic! Make sure that your salmon and scallops are as fresh as can be. The scallops and the raw salmon must be of sushi quality. If not, use smoked salmon.
Serves 4 as a starter
- 1
Using a pestle and mortar, grind coriander seeds, mustard seeds, pepper, garlic, and salt into a semi-coarse paste.
- 2
Arrange the salmon slices on four serving plates, so they cover as much of the plate as possible. Cover with foil and put in the fridge while making the tartare.
- 3
Mix the scallops, mustard, capers, olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, and spice mixture in a bowl. Fold together until mixed.
- 4
Carefully place an open, circular mold on top of each plate arranged with sliced salmon. Fill each mold with scallop tartare. Carefully remove the molds, and serve right away.

|Showing it off: Amber Rose wore a very revealing tight white frock as she visited Playground Nightclub in Liverpool on Thursday
Amber Rose claims her ex Wiz Khalifa is the love of her life. And she seemed keen on catching his attention on Thursday [April 23], as she arrived at Playground Nightclub in Liverpool. The 31-year-old model showed off her shapely figure in a skintight plunging white dress which zipped down the back.
The mother-of-one created an extra saucy look by parading around in gold stilettos. She concealed her eyes with funky black and white shades, as her full pout was enhanced with a peachy nude slick. Amber's tatted arms were on full display, and the platinum blonde added a pop of colour with her long red manicure.
On Wednesday, Amber told DailyMail that she wants to reconcile with her estranged husband Wiz Khalifa, 27.
Last year, she filed for divorce amid accusations that her husband at the time, Wiz, had cheated on her with blonde twins. However, Amber still calls the rapper - who is the father of her two-year-old son Sebastian - the love of her life and insists she wants to reconcile with him despite their issues.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Amber said: 'We're not back together but ideally I would like to. He's the love of my life and we have a beautiful kid together but right now we're just dating other people. She added: 'We're working on our friendship and co-parenting for Sebastian which is the most important thing.'

Languages Study Day
On Friday 3rd February, 10 of our Lower Sixth Modern Linguists attended the Why study languages? day hosted by St Mary's Calne.
Lecturers from Pembroke College, Cambridge led the day, starting with an introduction to studying Modern Languages at University, followed by sessions in two new languages, selected from Arabic, Chinese, Italian, Linguistics and Portuguese. The day concluded with a question and answer session and an explanation of the Cambridge admissions arrangements.
This was an excellent day, giving some of our high-flying linguists a first-rate introduction to the language learning opportunities available at University level. Many thanks to St Mary's Calne for organising the day, and to Ms Li (Head of Chinese) for accompanying the Marlborough group.

The Teachers' Lounge is an ongoing series of interviews with inspiring educators. Last month, Georgia teacher Shekema Silveri interviewed Sandy Hayes, veteran middle school teacher and President-Elect of the National Council of Teachers of English. This month, we interviewed Shekema.
Shekema Silveri teaches English at Mt. Zion High School in Jonesboro, GA. She was Georgia's 2011 Milken Educator and is the founder of Silveri Service Learning Academy, a 6-12 charter school scheduled to open in the 2014 school year.
So tell me about how you came to teaching. Does it run in your family?
That's a long story! I never wanted to be a teacher, and it certainly doesn't run in my family because I'm a first generation college graduate. I headed off to college with a major in School Psychology. In my Freshman Composition class at Florida Southern College, Dr. Mary Pharr encouraged me to change my major. She said: "Little girl, you're in the wrong major. You're going to be an English teacher."
After almost 10 years, I finished my undergraduate degree at Georgia State University, but I still didn't want to be a teacher. By that time in my life, I had been homeless and was a mom of three, so I decided to establish a nonprofit dedicated to helping low-income girls ages 12-18 break the destructive cycle of teen pregnancy, poverty, and child abuse. I was born to a teen mom and had been a victim of the other two issues, so I knew that my pain would somehow inform my purpose. In 2003 I founded Rachel's Daughters and began delivering free afterschool programs like tutoring and mentoring to residents of Atlanta's public housing.
Then in the summer of 2006, I enrolled in Georgia State University's alternative certification program to obtain my Masters in Education. The rest is history.
What keeps you coming back every year?
I was born for this. I miss my students when I go home at night, which is why I'm always up tweeting and learning with them past 10:00pm every night. This is the coolest job in the world, and I'm amazed that I get to do this with my life. Just wow.
Yes, I've noticed that you communicate a lot with your students on Twitter. Can you answer all these questions in 140 characters or less? (Just kidding.) But seriously, what do you see as the role of social media in education?
Each day, my students have to tell me something they learned -- whether we're in school or out of school, whether they learned it in my class or not. We use the hashtag #TIL ("Today I Learned"). They reach out to me (and to each other) for help with homework and with life.
Social media has helped remove the boundaries of time and space and has the potential to reshape the way we conceptualize teaching. Imagine hosting a Socratic Seminar with students from all class periods at once, each of them able to add to the discussion. Learning to revise your essays by trying to tweet your topic sentences is also kind of cool.
I've heard that your AP classes are always at capacity, and that you enroll a lot of students who aren't on the AP track at your school. Why do you think it's important to have fully inclusive honors and AP-level classes?
There are some skills and unspoken rules for academic and social success that my students have never been exposed to. In Room 110, we delve into those things and each of my students develops a personal strategy for success. In that way, my AP classes are also life skills classes. I don't just increase the rigor without exploring the rationale. Education is a matter of life or death for my students. While I would love for everyone to score a 3 or higher on the AP exam in May, my goal goes far beyond that. My personal goal is to increase the number of college graduates from Clayton County Public Schools. I'm producing lifelong learners, not just excellent test-takers.
Tell me about the school you are currently in the process of starting up. Why did you decide to start a school of your own?
I decided to start Silveri Service Learning Academy after attempting to complete my Ph.D in Teaching and Learning. I bought the lie that to make a difference in the lives of the most children I would have to teach teachers. One day in my classroom, I looked out at my students and began to ask myself, "How do you know you're not teaching teachers right now?" That same year, I became Georgia's 2011 Milken Educator and the concept for Silveri Service Learning Academy (SSLA) was born.
SSLA will serve students in grades 6-12. We're designing the school as an early college of education. Our goal is to produce the next generation of critical, quality educators.
Our school is dedicated to providing access to technology, a healthy lifestyle, quality education (including childcare), and the arts. Middle grades will focus on service learning. They'll explore pressing social issues within their local and global communities. High school students will be offered several Career Pathways, each of them grounded in Teaching as a Profession. They'll theorize how education might be used to resolve the social issues they explored in grades 6-8. We're an Early College High School, so SSLA graduates will exit with two years of college already completed upon graduation.
For more information on Silveri Service Learning Academy, please visit our website: www.silveriacademy.org.
What would you say to teachers who feel they don't have a voice in transforming their own profession, and that many changes in education are happening TO them rather than with them?
I would say -- emphatically -- that if you wait for the right conditions, you'll never do it. Jump in and make waves, and remember that you're speaking on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. Whenever you feel afraid, encourage yourself by revisiting the stories of the giants upon whose shoulders we're currently standing. At the end of the day, always remember: "The great aim of education is not knowledge, but action" (Herbert Spencer).
