Winter's Bone is the film that conquered the Sundance film festival and looks likely to conquer the next Oscars due to its young starlet Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal of a iron willed and warm hearted mountain girl.
Ree Dolly is a Missouri mountain girl who is made mother of the household due to her catatonic mother and absent father. She cooks cleans and does everything a mother should do for her young brother and sister while stricken in poverty.
When the local Sheriff arrives one day and gives Ree the news that her drug dealing father has put the family home up as collateral for his bail, Ree makes it her mission to find her father who may or may not be dead before they lose their home.
Winter's Bone is one of the bleakest and darkest films you will see this year but don't let that put you off as it's also one of the best. At it's core is a warm story about the lengths that a girl will go for her family no matter what the consequences are for herself, with its' young motherly lead character and its female director 'Winter's Bone' is very much in touch with its maternal side.
When Ree tries to track down her father, the locals take a sinister turn and warn her to keep out of her father's business. The underbelly of the town is largely hinted at and shown rather than talked about but it's clear that many of these locals as well as Ree's father are part of the cooking and selling of crystal meth.
The story and mood of the film is reminiscent of David Lynch's influential 'Twin Peaks', with its' northern rural town setting, missing person, shady locals and buried secrets. This link was made all the more relevant when Twin Peak's very own Sheryl Lee makes an appearance half way through the film.
The focus of the film is on Ree's character and the media have given much praise of 19 year old Jennifer Lawrence's performance and rightly so. As amazing as she is, another performance steals the show with John Hawkes tragic take on Ree's uncle Teardrop who is an interesting and troubled man worthy of a film himself in many respects.
At one point in the film Ree has been severely beaten by the locals for not adhering to their wishes, after she has been cleaned up by her best friend all Ree cares about is that her brother and sister get their homework done, this is the kind of person Ree is. The poverty in 'Winter's Bone' is awful to imagine but is also refreshing to see on the big screen, so many Hollywood films brush America's devastating poverty under the carpet by giving their characters swanky jobs, big houses and attractive vain friends. In 'Winter's Bone' this is as real as it gets, the American dream isn't on the mind of Ree as she struggles to feed her family each night and teaches her siblings how to use a rifle in case anything happens to her.
If Jennifer Lawrence doesn't win best actress for this then to hell with the Oscars, we could have the next Charlize Theron on our hands with her promising talent. 'Winter's Bone' is a bitter pill to swallow but is also a film with a heart so big and so real that it is hard to resist...expect to hear a lot more about this title and especially Jennifer Lawrence over the next few months.

Lil Wayne was in agony on the set of his latest music video after injuring himself while skateboarding.
The hip-hop star makes an appearance in a new promo by rapper French Montana called Pop That, which he shot alongside Drake and Rick Ross over the Memorial Day weekend last month (May12).
However, the shoot proved to be a strenuous one for Lil Wayne as he was nursing a painful shoulder after a nasty skateboarding accident.
Speaking from the video set, he tells AllHipHop.com, "I separated my shoulder like four weeks ago and I didn't go to rehab. You can see the bone sticking out. It hurts..."
The Lollipop hitmaker was so sore, he refused to let any of the scantily-clad models on set touch him.
He adds, "If any of these ladies out here wanted to give me a massage or something I would've let them but (it) is really tender to the touch, I can't even let nobody touch it (sic)."

An Economics of Wellbeing: What Would Economics Look Like if it were Focused on Human Wellbeing?
IDS Working Paper 436
Publisher IDS
Download this publication (375kb)
This paper makes a number of fundamental proposals to reconsider economics by putting human wellbeing at the centre. It emerges from a pluralist perspective in economics and the ontological, conceptual, axiomatic and methodological propositions that are made lead to the construction of what we call an inclusive economy matrix (IEM).
In particular, the paper draws on heterodox economics to redefine the scope of economics, economic agency, rational behaviour and put emphasis on wellbeing rather than welfare. Furthermore, from the acknowledgement of human wellbeing as a three-dimensional concept, the economic aggregation problem is reconsidered and the methodological implications discussed.
The IEM is proposed as a comprehensive and robust analytical framework that gives space to bring social equity and sustainable development considerations forward as a priori concerns for economic development. As such, the IEM can serve as a point of departure for formulating new research questions, exploring new relationships between human wellbeing and economic development, and building economic models that bring us closer to people's realities on the ground.

Donald Trump Newly Elected President Of United States
New President of United States of America is Donald John Trump.
Today's most shocking U.S. elections in modern political history, Donald Trump has defeated Hillary Clinton.
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman and the President-elect of the United
States. He is scheduled to take office as the 45th President on January 20, 2017.
Trump is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization, which is the principal holding company for his real estate ventures and other business interests – a position he has said he will vacate prior to his assumption of the presidency.

Funny Faces of Donald Trump
The Strong Presidential candidate from Republican party for 2016 US General Election; Donald Trump, is known for his funny face making which makes him an over natural fellow. In every debate he makes a lot of funny faces along with the insults and harsh speeches.
Here are few of the funny faces of Donald Trump.
iPhone 7 – Coming in 2016
2015 is the year for iPhone 6 and 6S, we are too far away from the iPhone 7 launch to know what the new device will look like, but we can speculate that Apple will continue on its path of introducing more powerful, efficient devices that grow thinner with each design iteration. 2015 will mark an "S" iPhone upgrade year that will introduce new features like an improved camera and a better processor, but 2016 will bring an even-year upgrade that will likely include an all-new iPhone design. It's likely Apple will continue releasing two versions of each iPhone, so we may see an iPhone 7 and an iPhone 7 Plus in 2016. Apple may stick to 4.7- and 5.5-inches, or take the opportunity to further refine screen sizes, shifting the dimensions somewhat to match the company's design vision for the updated phones. We may not know much about the iPhone 7, but some rumored pictures are here to show, and also check how large mobile application development company take this new iPhone. Â Â Â Â Â Â

Blair New Mennonite Church (Blair, Ontario, Canada)
A Baptist church was originally built in 1853 in Carlisle (renamed Blair in 1858), but soon became a union church shared by a local New Mennonite congregation. The building was shared until 1872 when the New Mennonites erected a building a short distance up the road. The former building then became a public school until 1959 when it reverted to church use. The congregation was part of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ after 1883 after a series of mergers. A Buddhist group met there in 2012.
Minister John McNally (1822-1913) and others built the more permanent church in 1872. John McNally had been ordained by Daniel Hoch in 1852 and was a prominent New Mennonite minister. The Blair location slowly lost members, who with the advent of better transportation, went to other New Mennonite churches. The Ontario Mennonite Brethren in Christ sold the building in 1921 to the Blair Union Sunday School. In 1967 the property was sold to a Church of Christ congregation and the Blair Union Sunday School closed its doors. A Hindu group used the building in 2012.

Original Article from Mennonite Encyclopedia
Vol. 2, p. 627 by Joseph C. Fretz
Hagey-Blair was a community in Waterloo Township, seven miles southeast of Kitchener, Ontario, which had some followers of the Canada West-Ohio movement designed for unification, evangelization, and education. Daniel Hoch took the leading part in forming in 1855 a "Conference Council of the United Mennonite Community of Canada West & Ontario." Hoch is said to have been related to the Kinzies of the Hagey congregation, who agreed with him. Daniel Hege of Illinois, secretary in 1862 of the General Conference, wrote an explanatory letter from Blair while resting at the home of S. B. Baumann, when Hege and Ephraim Hunsberger of Wadsworth, Ohio, were touring eleven churches of Canada West, and calling on numbers of persons. Canadian funds gathered for the Wadsworth School were heaviest in the Waterloo area. No organized church can be named for this community. Meetings were held in the Carlisle School at Blair.

Cass earned his doctorate in American literature at Ohio State University and has published critical articles on Hemingway, Fitzgerald, London, and James Gould Cozzens, as well as checklists for First Printings of American Authors. In the following excerpt, he examines several aspects of "In Another Country," including Hemingway's writing style, his allusion to Marlowe's The Jew of Malta, and his use of "window" and "looking" Imagery.
Ernest Hemingway's short story, "In Another Country," is illuminated by three related observations: that the author shifts his attention from the American soldier to the Italian major midway through the story, that he exercises strict control over his title allusion to The Jew of Malta, and that he cultivates a very elaborate motif of images concerned with looking and windows.

Study: Calcified plaques in key arteries linked to strokes, dementia
Calcified plaque buildup in key areas of the body's circulatory system — outside of the brain — could contribute to increased risk for stroke and dementia, new study results assert.
In studying CT scans of 885 people with an average age of 67, investigators from the Netherlands looked for signs of calcification in the coronary arteries, the aortic arch, and the extracranial and intracranial carotid arteries. They also checked MRI scans of study subjects to look for signs of stroke, brain bleeds and white matter lesions, according to the study.
They found that calcium buildup in those four critical arterial areas was associated with white matter lesions and evidence of small strokes.
"These subclinical brain changes, apparent on MRI, do not necessarily cause symptoms right away but are frequently seen in patients with stroke or dementia and over the long term may be associated with worse cognitive performance," said study author Meike W. Vernooij, M.D., Ph.D.
The study was published Aug. 25 in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology.

Transforming Your Students into Poetry S.T.A.R.S.
Introduction: Personal Meaning versus Thematic Meaning
Simply put, poem performance has been the key to my love and understanding of poetry. I earned a Master's Degree by reading, studying, and writing all kinds of poetry. When I began memorizing poetry and performing it I began to see a different side of poetry —the Inside. Suddenly poetry was something not simply to be studied, but to be experienced, celebrated, and lived.
I do NOT think that poem performance is a substitute for the more traditional approaches of reading (silently and aloud), discussion, and analysis. I DO think that poem performance can be a great way to hook young people who so often think that poetry is inaccessible and dull with nothing to offer them. Too often young people (and adults) see poetry as something that is "done to them," like a 6-month dental cleaning. Poem performance activities place students at the center of authentic learning and allow young people to discuss poetry using terminology that is already familiar to them.
Only when students are engaged with the poetry will they truly care about matters of form and meaning. I routinely advise teachers not to ask young people what a poem means. I've found that most of us, young or grown, don't really care what a poem means. But we do want to know what a poem means to us. The difference is not so subtle. The first question regards "thematic meaning" and implies that there is a definite, authoritative answer that lives within the pages of the "teacher's manual." The second question regards "personal meaning" and implies that the reader and the poem are somehow connected.
Most often when adults claim to know what a poem means, they are really saying that their life experiences have allowed them to find "personal meaning" in the poem. More than likely any "thematic meaning" has been derived through their extant knowledge of literature (and sometimes their extant knowledge of what the Teacher's Manual says the poem means). But young people don't have this pre-existing knowledge base. At best their knowledge of "thematic meaning" is not fully formed; at worst it is nonexistent.
Performance Poetry allows students to make meaning (personal meaning) on their own terms through their experience of transforming the poem's text into a presentation piece. After making this personal connection the academic matters of theme, symbolism, form, and poetic devices suddenly matter.
Poem Performance 101
Poem performance encompasses a wide variety of presentation models. Students can work separately, in pairs, or in teams up to four. (In my experience teams of four kids make for the best collaborative learning experience, and the most interesting performances.) From a collection of poems assigned by the teacher, or found on a "poetry search" through classroom and library resources, students choose one poem. The goal for the students is to memorize the lines of the poem and stage it for presentation to the rest of the class. Performance teams of two or more, can divide the lines into speaking parts to create a script. Poems can be delivered "straight up" in the manner of a storyteller sharing a tale or "theatrically" with gestures, movements, blocking, and characters. Participants are urged to match the mood of their presentation with the mood of their chosen poem. No scenery or props are necessary—except what can be "suggested" by use of a couple chairs. Your stage area can be the front of the classroom. A simple show can be "thrown together" within a 50 minute class period. An elaborate show can be staged and polished with a week or more of preparation and practice.
Poetry Performance S.T.A.R.S
This is a simple way of linking your students' presentations so they flow efficiently from one poem to the next to create a seamless poetry extravaganza.
Set the stage. After being announced, the presenting team quickly enters the stage area to place any necessary chairs in their starting positions.
Title and Author. Standing in a neat line, the performers say the poem's title and author, then pause for a count of two, before quickly getting into starting positions.
Action! The team performs the poem.
Receive Applause. After the presentation is complete, performers line back up and bow, respectfully and in unison.
Strike the set. Any remaining chairs or props should be quickly cleared away. Performers then take their seats as the next group is called forward.
C.A.S.T: From Poem to Play in Four Easy Steps
Taking poems from the page to the stage is all in the C.A.S.T. This is a series of four steps you can take to begin speaking about a particular poem in theatrical terms. These terms (i.e., character, action, setting) tend to be more familiar and less intimidating than our traditional poetic terms (i.e., theme, mood, symbolism).
Character: Make a list of all the specific characters within the poem. Start with the "major" characters—those that are mentioned directly. They may be human, animal, or even non-living things. Then find the "minor" characters—nouns within the poem that may not be directly important to the story.
Action: Make a list of all the action in the poem. Look carefully for the verbs, the action words. Be sure to make your list in the order (sequence) that it happens in the poem. This list will come in handy as you decide what actions to use to stage the poem. Some poems have a lot of physical action. Other poems contain only thoughts, or "mental" action.
Setting: Where does the poem take place? If the setting is not specified, look for clues in the text that might help you to invent something appropriate.
Transform the text into a script: Determine what characters are the most important and then assign those characters speaking parts. The line of the poem must be appropriate to the character who says it. Lines may be spoken simultaneously by two or more different characters. You can even split a line in half, assigning each half to a different character. Play with the sound of the poem. Use your imagination.
Some poems work better than others when using this approach. I've included a few famous examples on the next page.
There is no standard way to present a poem. The students' aesthetic choices should be based on the needs of the poem and the comfort level and ability of the performers. Sometimes simplicity works best. Sometimes a poem is best left to speak for itself. I've seen performers stand motionless as they recite a poem to good dramatic effect. Ultimately what makes a poem performance effective is the amount of heart the presenter puts into it.
Now You Try It!
In groups of four, try acting out the poems on this page.
• Read them aloud and clarify any confusing words.
• Pick which poem you will perform.
• C.A.S.T.: List Characters, Action, and possible Settings. Transform the poem into a script by assigning speaking parts.
• Come up with staging ideas and practice. Memorize the lines if you can.
• Use S.T.A.R.S to present your poem to the rest of the class.
• As a class discuss what you observed from this activity.
Poem by Langston Hughes
I loved my friend.
He went away from me.
There's nothing more to say.
The poem ends,
soft as it began.
I loved my friend.
Sammy by Elizabeth Ripley
There was a young hopeful named Sam.
Who loved diving into the jam.
When his mother said, "Sammy!
Don't make yourself jammy."
He said, "You're too late ma, I am."
We Real Cool: Pool Players, Seven at the Golden Shovel by Gwendolyn Brooks

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire.
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
to say that for destruction ice
is also great, and would suffice.
The Termite by Ogden Nash
The termite knocked upon the wood.
Tasted it and found it good.
And that is why your Auntie May.

Assorted Top-Secret Tips for Memorizing Poetry
from Immersed in Verse: An Informative, Slightly Irreverent & Totally Tremendous Guide to Living the Poet's Life (Lark, 2006) by Allan Wolf
Here are a few tips that may help you on the road to memorization:
• Relax. Don't worry, be happy. Memorization is a lot easier when you are relaxed.
• No Background Noise. I hope by now this should go without saying, but if not, I'll say it now for the record. DO NOT memorize while the television is on! Or the computer. Or loud music.
• Experience the Poem. Have a variety of experiences with the poem. Write it down. Read it out loud. Recite it in the bathtub. Recite it on the way to lunch. Discuss it with your friends. Divide the poem into speaking parts. Record it into a tape player and listen to it over and over.
• Combine Techniques. Each of us travel the memorization trail riding atop a different pony. Use a combination of memorization techniques—listening to the poem, saying the poem, writing the poem, reading the poem, acting it out, setting it to music, dancing to it, etc.
• Memorize a Poem You Like. This may come as no surprise. It's typically easier to memorize a poem that you really like from the start. On the other hand, if you are required to memorize a poem you don't initially like, you may grow to appreciate it more as you memorize it.
• A Poem in Rhyme, Saves Time. Poems that rhyme are usually easier to memorize because the rhyming words continually give you clues as to what line follows. Poems with a very consistent rhythm can be easier because of their predictable beat. Not surprisingly rhythmic poems that also rhyme can be easiest of all.
• Memorize While Standing Up. Typically you won't be reciting poetry while seated, so why memorize it that way? It is always best to involve your whole body in memorization if possible.
• Create Memorization Movements. For each word or cluster of words in the poem, create a body movement that will help you remember what comes next. Many people can remember movements more easily than words.
• Speak Out. Speak your poems out loud as you repeat the lines. This gives you experience listening to your own voice and, again, gets your body involved.
• Memorize Multiple Poems Together. If your goal is to memorize more than one poem, you are best off dividing your time between them each day. Don't wait until you've finished one before starting on the next.
• Use A Tape Recorder. If possible record your poem onto a hand-held tape recorder. Listen to it repeatedly. Gradually begin to recite along. Think how many songs you've memorized like this already, simply by hearing them on the radio or in your earphones.
• Memorize The Last Part First. For especially long poems, try memorizing the last half first. We tend to repeat the first part of the poem more when memorizing it and thus, learn the first part better. It is best to know both halves of a long poem equally well, but if you have to choose, it's better to start shaky and finish smooth. Also, for some reason memorizing the first half always seems easier when you've already got the second half down. That way all you have to do is meet yourself in the middle!
• Carry Your Poem With You At All Times. Think of all the snippets of time you spend simply waiting for something to happen or someone to show up. Pass that extra time by looking at your poem.
• Create Your Own Personal Mnemonics. Conjure up your own pictures, initials, phrases, associations, and movements—anything to help you remember what word comes next. The idea is to hang the strange new words onto well-known old "hooks" which already exist in your head, like hanging your keys on a hook just inside the front door so you never have to go searching for them.
• Speed-Through Rehearsing. If you have successfully memorized your poem, but your recitation is still tentative and halting, try "speed-through rehearsing." Say the words as quickly as you can with little to no expression. The idea is to learn the transitions from line to line and from stanza to stanza so you don't stop the flow of your reading. Place 10 dimes on the table before you, removing one every time you complete your poem. Or line up ten M&Ms and eat your way through them as you complete each recitation. If you can complete ten "speed throughs" of your poem, you are probably ready to recite it in front of a live audience.
Allan Wolf
This is a fun community building activity that also allows students to cut loose a little bit. In teams of 4, 5, or 6, their task is to demolish their own individual poems and put the pieces together in some way to create a new text that combines at least some of each poem. Then the "monsters" are brought to life through an impromptu performance. This is a fun end of year activity to unwind and have fun with.
• In group. Each person reads their poem aloud and proud.
• Build the poem: by word/image association—images, words, phrases, ideas in common; word/image juxtaposition—images, words, phrases, ideas in conflict; linear connection—combine parts of your poems to tell a story, or explore a theme; montage—images, words, phrases, ideas in a jumble, not immediately related in any way; if possible, find a "refrain" among the poem parts which you can repeat throughout the presentation; think of an appropriate conclusion—the refrain, or words (or action) of summation.
• Build the script: (who says what and when?), determine any characters. Play with the voices. Consider saying certain words in unison, especially the final line of the poem.
• Stage the poem: Figure out how to create the setting (if there is one). How will you use your performance space? What movements are appropriate to the poem (and comfortable to the presenters)?
• Create a title for the new poem and decide on a special name for your group.
• Present/perform the poem: Remember that you must gather together, before the presentation, to introduce the poem title and group name. After the presentation is over be sure to take a group bow. The winning poem/presentation will be chosen by "applause-o-meter."
Allan Wolf
Give teams of four or so students each one index card with some emotion (or other descriptive adjective) written on it (mad, sad, furious, frightened, nervous, excited, happy, tired, in love). In secret each group should generate a list of vocabulary words related to the word on their card. Then they are to write down a list of mannerisms that are associated with the word (movements, stances, vocalizations, facial expressions, etc.). Next they must come to consensus over how to present a recitation of Mary Had a Little Lamb by Sara Josepha Hale or some other popular Mother Goose rhyme. (Little Miss Muffet works well.) Their object is to communicate the word on their card but only speaking the words of the poem. The rest of the class attempts to guess and discusses afterward what was effective and what was not clear.

CommentAdd a Comment
I was intrigued by the mysterious figure that Olivia has nightmares about, so I soldiered through to the ending, but I counsel you not to waste your time. The writing is is overblown and melodramatic. I went from initial sympathy for the characters to irritation at their histrionics. SEMI SPOILER: Olivia does NOT come face to face with the mysterious person in the end. Then ending was a let down and not worth sloshing through this wretched story.
3 very different women have their stories and their lives woven together in this novel. I really liked it.

text: I had been invited to talk on KALW about my new book, but encountered push back from some callers accusing me of being anti-American because I tried to discuss China and its political economy in a rational manner. What became quickly apparent is the enormous prejudice people carry about China, which of course is reminiscent of the Japan-bashing during the 1980′s. My book never defends human rights abuses, yet callers, and even the radio host, could not seem to separate China from that single issue. Why single out and castigate China so severely when others have committed similar or worse offenses? To make an analogy, it is like hating your own father because he smokes and that is not agreeable with you. Who in his right mind would write off his own father for one mistake he is making? Similarly, why write off an entire country when its leaders make some mistakes? As I point out, no nation is perfect, and I don't advocate all things China. But surely, China does do some things right, and the rational approach is to find out what that is. Here is what one commenter forwarded me in an email today after listening to the podcast: Continue reading

'American Idol', I Am Furious With You. You Kicked Off The Wrong People Last Night!
Do you think the correct four contestants were given the boot last night?
American Idol, I usually love you. I dedicate three days of my week to you, in fact. So how could you play me like this, by kicking off two of my favorite contestants, Lilly Scott and Alex Lambert?
Despite her eccentric style and platinum-hued hair, Lilly Scott was always a quirky crowd favorite – and easily one of the best three female performers on Idol this season. My pals are furious – and from the dissatisfied rumblings in my part of the world (Los Angeles) many people are refusing to keep on watching now that she's gone.
As for Alex Lambert, may I just say that his mullet had nothing to do with his talent? His performance of Ray LaMontagne's "Trouble" this week – while stiff – was absolutely beautiful, and he showed a tremendous amount of improvement from prior weeks. He also had one of the best voices of all the boys – it's shocking that the craptastic Tim Urban was allowed to stay in his place.
As for Todrick Hall and Katelyn Epperly – eh. They should have gone! Kateyln screwed with Carole King this week – and as a rule, that's not a good look for anyone.
But who should have gone? Well, you know how I feel about Tim. Totally cute – but what a trainwreck! How the judges could praise his horrific version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is beyond me. And Lacey Brown? Well, that Minnie Mouse voice of hers just drives me mad. 12 more weeks of her? Please God, no! And last but not least, what the heck is Paige Miles still doing in the competition? I couldn't even remember her name just now – had to look it up. She's THAT forgettable.
All in all, America – please vote right from now on! That means VOTE for your favorites – don't automatically assume they're going to squeak through another week just because they're good. This means YOU, oh fans of Crystal Bowersox and Siobhan Magnus. I'll be voting from now on. Will you?
Do you think the right people got kicked off this week?

The field of microbiology has developed considerably in the last 20 years, building exponentially on its own discoveries and growing to encompass many other disciplines. Unfortunately, the literature in the field tends to be either encyclopedic in scope or presented as a textbook and oriented for the student.

Reflecting the sweeping changes in microbiology, yet retaining the popular format of the original, this second edition includes many chapter rewrites and more than 20 new or expanded chapters. New in the second edition: Am Five new chapters in Part I: Identification of Gram-Positive Bacteria, Identification of Gram-Negative Bacteria, Plaque Assays, Phage Display, and Epidemiological Methods Am 15 new chapters in Part II, including Mycobacteria, Legionella, Hemophillus, Listeria, Campylobacter, Helicobacter, Yersinia, Bordetella, Other Zoonotic Bacteria, Other Anaerobic Bacteria, Archae, Biofilms, Bacteriophage, Parasites, and more Am An entirely new survey table of selected eubacteria Am Introduction to Yeasts and Introduction to Animal Virology, two topics covered only briefly in the first edition, are now full length chapters Am Various brief taxonomy chapters are now complete chapters with descriptions of genus and species An in depth explanation of all of the currently available diagnostic procedures used in the microbiology laboratory Providing basic knowledge and practical information on working with microorganisms, Practical Handbook of Microbiology, Second Edition is designed to facilitate highly specialized working microbiologists, as well as those who simply use microbiology as an adjunct to their own discipline, in finding relevant information easily, in a clear and concise single volume.New in the second edition: Am Five new chapters in Part I: Identification of Gram-Positive Bacteria, Identification of Gram-Negative Bacteria, Plaque Assays, Phage Display, and Epidemiological Methods Am 15 new chapters in Part II, ...

I have a steady job paying twice a month.
At this moment I am able to pay all my bills but I do not have that much for other activities. My salary basically goes on rent loans and other expenses. My wife earns over double what I earn so all other activities goes from her pocket and by paying the loans I have and getting the monthly payments down to one fifth gives us a chance to save more money.

|Melba Clark Williams
Robert Warren Williams, known as Bo Williams (born July 21, 1938), is a Republican former mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, having served a single term from 1994 to 1998.
Williams defeated his fellow city council member, Democrat Roy Cary, an African-American, 38,596 votes (59 percent) to 27,018 (41 percent). Eliminated in the nonpartisan blanket primary was the Democratic former Mayor John Brennan Hussey.
In 1990, Williams was elected to a single term on the Shreveport City Council from District E. He received, 6,293 votes (53 percent) to Democrat John L. Albritton's 5,503 ballots (47 percent). He left the council after one term to become mayor.
Williams was physically impaired as mayor. He used a wheelchair as a result of an accident several years earlier and had limited upper-body movement. Former Mayor James C. Gardner in his memoirs entitled Jim Gardner and Shreveport, Vol. II, describes Williams as follows:
I came to realize that most Shreveporters did not comprehend the physical limitations of the mayor. This was to handicap him politically as he could not be as physically visible as the citizens were accustomed . ... and this was sometimes interpreted as lack of activity. ... Mayor Williams compensated for his physical limitations by his study of city government. He knew his facts and figures: he did his homework. ... A very pleasant man, he was always especially gracious to former mayors. Invitations were forthcoming to us for dedication type ceremonies. This included his election opponent, Mayor Hussey.[1]
Williams pushed for the completion of Interstate 49, the north-south link from Shreveport to Lafayette. Gardner claims that I-49 was not a priority of Governor Murphy J. "Mike" Foster, Jr., the Republican who served from 1996 to 2004.
In the 1998 nonpartisan blanket primary, Williams ran a weak second and withdrew from a pending general election. Democratic candidate Keith Paul Hightower, the District C council member from southeast Shreveport, led with 20,250 votes (42 percent) to Williams' 13,637 (28 percent). Three other candidates, two Democrats and another Republican, divided the remaining 30 percent of the ballots. Williams, who trailed by nearly 7,000 votes, declined to proceed to a second round of balloting, and Hightower hence won the position outright. Hightower served two terms.
Williams and his wife, the former Melba Clark (born 1939), reside in Shreveport.

Advanced Television | Nov. 2, 2017
Tor Helge Kristiansen, EVP Principle Architect and senior technology advisor, will also define multiple security options available for next generation Android set-top-boxes, benefits and impact for a pay-TV service deploying Android STBs, as well as guidance for creating a compelling consumer offering and secure Android-based pay-TV proposition.
"Android, developed by Google, is one of the most popular operating systems today, used in a wide variety of industries and devices, confirms Tor Helge Kristiansen. Android TV is a very flexible platform, providing a wide array of functionality and connectivity. However, as a result, the Android platform has a large attack surface and is complex to protect – making it extremely prone to piracy."
"With an open app store available to a large developer base, such an STB is vulnerable to untrusted apps. In addition, development and debugging tools available give access to core functionality, which can be a security threat. For these reasons, operators need to secure Android properly."
"Partnering with Google and numerous other leading technology partners, Conax is strategically positioned to provide the crucial guidance needed for deploying Android STB populations. We are helping operators navigate and reduce operational complexity and make Android a secure, lucrative option for their pay-TV consumer offerings.
Protecting content for over 30 pay-TV operators across Africa, Conax has established itself as both a trusted security partner and a leading driver for Africa's pay-TV expansion. At the TV Connect Expo, Conax will demonstrate its benchmark Contego Multi-DRM and GO Live OTT multiscreen solutions – fast-to-market, secure solutions for adapting pay-TV operations to serve the consumer of the future. November 7th – 9th, Stand #J3G.

Robby met Lindsay for the first time in 2006 at the local fire department. They were both working in emergency services and became acquaintances, talking anytime they would see each other.
Their paths crossed again in 2011 when Robby ended up teaching part of Lindsay's paramedic classes. After graduating from the program Lindsay started working for the EMS where she would run into Robby on the job more frequently. Eventually after a few weeks Robby asked Lindsay out on a date. It was this first dinner where they both fell in love.
Robby works for multiple facilities and wears many hats. He works part time as a Critical Care Flight Medic, part time as a paramedic for local events, is on the board of the International Association of Flight and Critical Care Paramedics and teaches at a local community colleges. With this work ethic you would never know that Robby has suffered from renal issues since he was a child. He has undergone three transplant surgeries and all three surgeries have failed. He is currently undergoing dialysis and awaiting a fourth kidney.
"In addition to all of his work stuff that he has to struggle through he still finds the time to come home and make me feel special and loved," Lindsay said of Robby. He is also a wonderful father to his two boys. Robby and Lindsay love to take family vacations with his two boys in their camper whenever they can.
In 2014 the family took a trip to the botanical gardens. After taking photos and admiring the beautiful flowers Lindsay turned around to see the boys holding signs that said "will you marry us" and Robby holding a beautiful ring. She of course said yes!
Lindsay and Robby continue to fall more and more in love with each other every day. This spring we will make their wedding wish come true at the beautiful Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden.
Wish Upon a Wedding would like to give a special thank you to all the amazing Wish Granters helping to make Lindsay and Robby's wedding wish come true:

LANDOVER -- There's no catchy nickname for Georgetown's three freshman starters.
No two-word handle with "Kids" as the second part. No "Thompson's Tots." No "Baby Hoyas" or "Little Rocks."
The closest thing Joey Brown, Charles Harrison and Robert Churchwell have to a nickname is "the three players with the two big guys."
Dikembe Mutombo and Alonzo Mourning are the other starters for the 18th-ranked Hoyas (13-5), and 14 feet of that much defensive talent can make up for a lot of freshman mistakes.

CDL Training and Jobs for Veterans
Our roots run deep when it comes to supporting US veterans here at TDI. Truck Driver institute, (TDI), was founded in 1973 by U.S. Army veteran, Thomas Gast. Since that time, TDI has grown to eleven campuses, and over the past 44 years the school has partnered with 20+ trucking companies to help new drivers transition into the workforce as a Class A CDL driver. Finding jobs for veterans is very important to us at Truck Driver Institute.
TDI proudly offers a program that has been approved to offer VA education benefits. Many veterans are sitting on either their Post-911 ® or Montgomery GI Bill, which could allow them to receive training and hit the road with a new career with top pay in a short period of time. A new career is only 15 days away.
The process is easy.
Veterans need only apply for their COE (certificate of eligibility) with the VA. Upon receiving their eligibility benefits they can then enter into our 3 week training program. We then help place them with the trucking company of their choice that fits best. There are a few companies that will reimburse the student for him/her benefits. There are several who also participate in the apprenticeship program which allows eligible veterans to earn in excess of $24,000 in tax-free GI Bill payments in addition to their regular pay as a driver over a two year period. Veterans have earned these benefits in service to our country so why not use the benefits instead of lose them.
Two of our past students recently had the honor of becoming finalists in the Transition Trucking: Driving For Excellence award presented by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Hiring Our Heroes Program, (HOH). Troy Davidson, a U.S. Navy veteran who trained at our Milton, FL location went on to take home the first prize award of a brand new fully loaded Kenworth T680. Mr. Kevin Scott, a U.S. Army veteran who received his training at our Gulfport, MS campus, received $10,000 as a top 3 finalist and runner up.
The trucking industry needs drivers. Currently, there are more seats than there are drivers to fill them. Here at TDI, we are doing our part to help fill those seats with veterans who have served this great country.
Are you a veteran looking to start a new career? Learn more about by filling out this form or giving us a call.
GI Bill ® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Website at http://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill

UFC light heavyweights Dan Henderson (29-8) and Lyoto Machida (18-3) were both guaranteed title-shots in 2012 before seeing the opportunities disappear without defeat ever coming into play. In Henderson's case, a health-related matter cost him a crack at champion Jon Jones in the final month before their match-up, while Machida's circumstances changed after requesting a full camp to prepare for the challenge of beating "Bones".
For one man, this weekend will mark the return of status as the division's top threat to the belt while the other will exit their co-headlining clash at UFC 157 empty-handed, as UFC President Dana White confirmed contendership is on the line during a pre-event press conference on Thursday. White also explained that if the victor ends up injured or falls at some point while training for the eventual title-tilt the winner of April's effort between Alexander Gustafsson/Gegard Mousasi would serve as a suitable back-up.
Henderson is on a four-fight run with three knockouts in the span and wins over Fedor Emelianenko/Mauricio Rua. Meanwhile, Machida was last seen stopping Ryan Bader with strikes in an August outing to score the ninth finish of his career.

Going one stage further, we can store the entire notes (as in 6.3) for a course in the web, under the syllabi. This has several advantages over traditional technology: New lecturers and students perceive the structure and the proportion a course has. New courses can be formed by disecting and sewing together old ones as obsolescence creeps in. Linkages between courses and staff interests (pre-requisites, follow-on courses etc) can be made clear.
Figure 6.3: Course Notes
Some courses involve supervisors, for example projects. Typically, a supervisor suggests projects by putting their suggestions in their Web page, and then the syllabus page for projects can simply be a collection of links to the place within their page that these suggestions are:

So yesterday, I had to say goodbye to one of my oldest friends, and in recent years #1 monster truck show partner Karl Swallow.
I met Karl at a Truckfest event in 1992, he was just getting started on building his street truck and I had a big street truck, we talked for hours.it was clear that he had a passion, and I am proud to say that we were friends during the evolution from Mk1 Toyota Hi-Lux through to full size monster truck.
Karl was dubbed "Krazy Karl" by renowned Monster Mania commentator Barry Clayson for his full on driving style and spectacular freestyle runs in those early UK monster truck racing events.
Over 150 people turned out to say goodbye to Karl yesterday, great to see so many from the old days as well as from the monster truck industry- Had a nice chat with Tony Dixon amongst others!
Karl I will miss you buddy, keep yer foot in till we meet up again........................

ANTD41H3F: Topics in Emerging Scholarship in Socio-Cultural Anthropology
This course approaches imprisonment from an anthropological perspective. We internationalize the study of imprisonment by looking at case studies from Papua New Guinea, Portugal, Northern Ireland, and other contexts. In recent decades, prison populations around the globe have dramatically expanded. As of late 2013, the estimated number of people held in penal institutions throughout the world had reached a record high of over eleven million (Walmsley 2013). What insights might an anthropological perspective offer as we seek to understand global practices of imprisonment?

I'm on a roll, I'm back in the seat,
My feet on the ground, it's so complete.
Take my hand and lead the way.
Pull me through, 'cause I'm with you.
Will you miss me when I go away?
Will you miss me when I'm far away?
And you say:
I will be thinking about you.
I've still got that picture of you,
Back when we went with each other.
If there was another way, fact is I would stay.
No other way.
Got to do what you do,
I'll never stop loving you.
Runaway, don't run away.
Will you miss me when I go away?
Will you iss me when I'm far away? (2x)
(How I need to see this place. How I long to see her face)
When I'm far away (2x)

Whether you're just starting out or still find yourself fretting during difficult situations, Wedding Photographer Survival Kit with Susan Stripling will give you the skills you need to thrive.

I found this course extremely helpful. I own Susan's 30 day bootcamp class and I think that this course is a great supplement to that course. I don't work with an assistant so it was very helpful to see how she would approach a scenario without an assistant. It was also great to see her point of view and thought process when scouting locations for portraits and witness her ability to make something beautiful out of "not so pretty" or difficult locations. It helped me to take a better approach to finding the light, and really paying attention to all of the different details throughout a room. Her business tips were awesome too. I could go on and on but maybe you should just get the course. It's worth it.
Good and useful course as typical of Susan Stripling; I also own Creative Wedding Photography. However, all the class materials should reside on the Creative Live website -- not just the Power Point presentation. I understand Susan's desire to drive people to her website to increase visibility and sales of her own products, but the strategy isn't very customer-centric for CreativeLive customers. People shouldn't have to "google" the name of her company to find the information that she references in this course; and then once on the website scroll through outdated or unwanted information to find, as she states at her website, "Below is the list of gear (as promised) that I've mentioned on Creative Live." If people are smart enough to find CreativeLive, they'll be smart enough to find on the web any presenter that they like or want to know more about. The folks at CreativeLive ought to address this type of behavior before it sets a bad precedent for future presenters.
