Sidcup Art College
Sidcup Art College was an art college in Grassington Road, Sidcup, Kent, England.
The College was demolished to make way for a Morrisons supermarket which opened in 2010.[1]
Musical heritage[edit]
One of the college's most famous students was Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones.[2] In 1961, while attending the college, Richards became reacquainted with his primary-school friend Mick Jagger, then a student at the London School of Economics: they met by chance on a train and found they shared an interest in blues music. An early line-up of The Rolling Stones, including Jagger, Richards, Brian Jones, Ian Stewart ("Stu"), Ricky Fenson and Tony Chapman, played at Sidcup Art College on 12 December 1962.[3]
The Pretty Things, one of Britain's early R&B bands, was also formed at the College in September 1963. One of the founding members was Dick Taylor, a former bassist with the Rolling Stones and student at Sidcup Art College.

Scattering of light by an ensemble of nonabsorbing spherical concentric two-layered particles is considered. It has been shown that exponent of the power function describing the wavelength dependence of the extinction coefficient of the medium with subwavelength-sized particles can exceed considerably the value of 4, which takes place for the Rayleigh scattering. Spatial correlation of particles enhances this "anomalous" dependence on the wavelength. Bleaching and darkening effects can be implemented. In the first case transmittance increases, while in the second case transmittance decreases with increased volume concentration. These effects can be used to get a sharp spectral dependence of transmittance. Comparison with the data for spatially correlated homogeneous particles is carried out.

If you have not been to The Icery yet, stop reading and get yourself there right away. We mean it! The most recent addition to Lansdowne's downtown is a very special treat. This artisan ice cream and water ice shop stays true to the 'artisan' label: they make a high quality product in small quantities using traditional methods.
In addition to being a delicious place to visit, the Icery is also an ascetic dream – with a stylish modern interior design and layout. It is also one of the friendliest spots in town! For example each month a gelato flavor is named after a valued customer. This month Lansdowne locals Catherine & Carol have claimed the flavor of CC's P-Nutty Apple, a delicious combination of salty peanut butter + granny apples topped with a drizzle of chocolate fudge + peanuts. The store is also active in the 'Save The Lansdowne Theater' campaign where staff decided to donate all their tips to help support the Theater. The Icery has already raised over $500!
Danny Losacco is the mastermind behind the Icery. Growing up in South Philadelphia he has a sweet tooth for the Italian-made water ice. Originally trained as an architect, Danny now sets his creative vision on creating frozen treats on Lansdowne Avenue! We recently caught up with Danny to see how he was enjoying running a small business in Lansdowne. This is what he had to say:
"We are so delighted to be in this great town of Lansdowne! There is a bond here that glues this close knit community- where everyone knows each other by first name. This town is a diverse melting pot of fabulous people and small businesses that warms the heart– we are happy to be part of this community as a meeting point where we all come together to connect amongst family, friends and neighbors for good conversation (and delicious frozen delights). We love our customers and hope to celebrate with them at 'The Coolest Place in Lansdowne' for many years to come!"
For more information, the Icery has a fun website. You can also follow them on Facebook and rave about them on Yelp.

Acupuncture and Pain
Usually when someone mentions acupuncture, first they think about is pain. Sometimes, it is physical pain that is actual reason for research about acupuncture or pain and fear of needles during the treatment. Even, many people don't know about acupuncture. Even this acupuncture is controversial topic from the long time in the history of medicine it's a latest method with the help of which you get relief from the pain. Now the question arises what it involves?
It involves inserting needles in the various parts of your body to stimulate and this is also known as "acupoints". Even Number of scientists proofed that it's the best method for the treatment of the chronic pain. More than one third of the Americans are suffering from this disease.
More and more people are going for treatment that doesn't involve the medicines and pain. One of the best and modern methods is acupuncture as this is effective for number of health problems but particularly for pain. It can be used for various ways like Acupuncture for Weight Loss.
When you are looking at acupuncture as pain management option, there are usually two reasons for that.
First; you all ready explore all other options for pain management and this is last option before some other more invasive and radical options. Second; you are all ready well informed about acupuncture and benefits of acupuncture and you are looking in acupuncture like first choice for your treatment. People are using many different ways to get relief from the pain like Massage, Chiropractic adjustments, Neuro structural Integration techniques and emotional freedom techniques but in the recent time, acupuncture is the best method.
At this moment acupuncture is very active field of research in the world, therefore there are different scientists and specialists looking at acupuncture mechanism of action trying to scientifically explain process and results as well. So, Acupuncture can be best and effective method of treatment in case of back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, Osteoarthritis and headaches.
In regard of pain relief with acupuncture treatment there is well known chemical reaction that occurs during acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture needles send signal to the brain, than brain send signal to the glands to start release opiates (hormones that control pain) and after that pain is subsidizing. That is very simple explanation of a very complex process. (If you would like to know more please feel free to contact me and I will gladly point direction where to find more information's about this)
If you are having concerns about actual needle insertion, try to think about all benefits that you will have after treatment. Experienced acupuncturist can insert needles with very minimal discomfort. Even if you fill something that will be very mild electric sensation, tingling or heaviness around acupuncture point. After acupuncture treatment usual descriptions are: relaxing, feeling good, pain free. In long run benefits that you may experience are: better sleep, more energy, less stress and happier. Now days, many new clinic have been opened in the different places of the world and one of the best clinic is Acupuncture clinic Chicago.
Don't forget that every journey starts with first step, so let your knowledge to lead your first step on your own "Bridge to Health".

JUPITER, Fla., Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- GelTech Solutions, Inc. (GLTC) announced today that FireIce High Visibility Orange, the signature product of its Wildland Fire Division, has been actively used by more than ten state and federal wildland firefighting agencies so far this season to fight over 100 fires in the U.S. and Canada. FireIce has been deployed in over 10 different types of aircraft for both initial attack, extended attack and large fire operations. It has earned the praise of pilots, tanker base managers and wildland firefighters on the ground for its superior effectiveness, ease of use and environmental friendliness. FireIce HVOF also weighs significantly less per mixed gallon than other commonly used chemicals, enhancing the safety of pilots and their aircraft.
With this continued success, FireIce is quickly becoming the fire chemical of choice by wildland fire industry agencies as they recognize the performance and cost advantages of using FireIce over traditional fire-fighting chemicals.
"We are very pleased with the growth and adoption of FireIce in the wildland fire industry and have been fortunate to work with some outstanding agencies domestically and internationally," stated Matt Struzziero, GelTech's director of sales and operations. "The GelTech Wildland team is on the ground working with these agencies to ensure successful implementation of FireIce into their programs, which will ultimately help protect public and private lands, save agency fiscal resources, and better provide for the safety of the brave pilots and firefighters."

A man pulled out a knife as he returned from the bathroom on a Greyhound bus late Thursday and stabbed a woman, yelling that he had AIDS as he exited the Washington-bound vehicle, police said.
The trip had departed from Atlantic City, N.J. and was passing through Baltimore around 9:30 p.m. The woman was seated at the back of the bus with a male friend when another passenger stabbed her in the neck, stomach and hand, according to a Baltimore City Police report.
The woman's friend then began to punch the assailant, who soon fled.
Alexandra Pedrini, a spokeswoman for Greyhound, said the driver of the bus had pulled over to a safe location and tried to help ward off the attacker.

Jessica Chastain and Shailene Woodley: Still BFFs
These two!
It's a Cannes highlight Vulture will never forget: Shailene Woodley telling us that her "heart chakra opens up to a million degrees" whenever she sees her good friend Jessica Chastain. (We also watched the two embrace; it was lovely.) And so at the National Board of Review Awards last night, as we were speaking to Chastain about the precariousness of awards season, we were thrilled to hear her give an unprompted shout-out to Woodley: "A performance last year that I thought was incredible that was not nominated for an Oscar was Shailene Woodley [for The Descendants]," she told us. Because the F in BFF is for forever.

The Economist Survey: Execs Want Answers, Not Marketing
A survey conducted by The Economist and Peppercomm found that many content marketers are "missing the mark." They are using Content Marketing as part of a demand generation exercise (e.g. overt promotion) rather than focusing on solving problems for their target customers. The results show a wide gap between what marketers are creating and what prospects and customers are most interested in. The simplest way to distill down the report is "stop selling and start informing." Here's the slide deck published by The Economist with their findings.

Windows MultiPoint Server
|Stable release
2012 / 15 November 2012
|Operating system
|Proprietary commercial software
Windows MultiPoint Server is an operating system based on Microsoft Windows Server using Remote Desktop Services technology to host multiple simultaneous independent computing stations or terminals connected to a single computer. Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 was the final release as an independent SKU and has been superseded by the MultiPoint Services role in Windows Server 2016.
Windows MultiPoint Server 2010[edit]
This version was released in February 2010 and is based on Windows Server 2008 R2.[1] Multiple stations can be added to a WMS 2010 host computer by connecting a single monitor, USB 2.0 hub, keyboard and mouse for each station. Hardware requirements for MultiPoint stations are non-proprietary, and virtually any multi-monitor video card, mouse, keyboard and monitor that is supported on Windows Server 2008 R2 can be used to build a station.[2]
Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 is available for purchase via either OEMs or Academic Volume Licensing. The Academic version, acquired via Academic Volume Licensing, supports domain join and no licensing restrictions on station count (however, hardware limits still apply), but requires a Windows Server 2008 R2 CAL and a Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 CAL per station, while the non-Academic version that is acquired via OEMs is limited to 10 stations maximum and does not support domain join, but only requires a Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 CAL per station and no Windows Server 2008 R2 CALs.[3]
Windows MultiPoint Server 2011[edit]
Windows MultiPoint Server 2011, based on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, was released to manufacturing on 10 March 2011.[4] New features in Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 include:
- The ability to add connect stations and thin clients over the LAN via traditional RDP clients
- Support for RemoteFX capable thin clients
- A shared management console extensibility with Windows Small Business Server 2011 and Windows Home Server 2011
- The ability to be backed up by Windows Small Business Server Essentials 2011 (the only server SKU that allows and supports this)[5]
- Features that allow administrators to view and interact with thumbnails of station desktops, including
- Projecting a single station's desktop to one or all stations[6]
- Locking the keyboard and mouse of station and displaying a message
- Remotely opening and/or closing applications
- Restricting internet browsing to a specific list of sites or blocking browsing to a specific list of sites
- Management of multiple WMS servers and stations from within a single administration console
- Support for running within a virtual machine
- Distribution through a wider variety of distribution channels for both editions
In addition, unlike Windows MultiPoint Server 2010, Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 has Standard and Premium editions. The following table compares the two editions' differences; they share all other features equally.[3][7][8]
|Maximum simultaneous stations (licensing limit)
|Hardware limits still apply and Client Access Licenses are required (see below)
|Maximum random-access memory (RAM)
|Motherboard limitations still apply
|Supported processor sockets
|Only x86-64 sockets are supported.
|Domain join
|See also:Active Directory
|Hyper-V support
|"1 on 1" licensing model for the Premium edition.
|1 OS license per WMS instance, 1 WMS 2011 CAL per station, and for copies purchased through Volume Licensing, 1 Windows Server 2008 CAL per station as well.
|All licenses are sold either via OEMs or Volume Licensing.
Windows MultiPoint Server 2012[edit]
On November 27, 2012, Microsoft released Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 to manufacturing.[9] This is the first version of MultiPoint to be based on Windows Server 2012, and contains several new features and upgrades from previous versions:
- The addition of the MultiPoint Dashboard, an application that allows specific non-administrator users to monitor and interact with user desktops
- The ability to create stations from virtual machines running on the WMS server Premium - Not available on the Standard version.
- Disk protection, a server feature that discards changes made to the server during user sessions similar to Windows SteadyState
- Windows 8 desktop experience for users, including access to the Windows Store
- Monitoring client computers running Windows 7 or 8 with the MultiPoint Server Connector
Windows Server 2016[edit]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (January 2017)
Includes the ability to deploy a server in a multipoint role.

The origin and
history of the Secretary of the University and the Board of Trustees
are inextricably linked to the founding, growth, and evolution of Howard
University, which was founded on March 2, 1867. There have been seventeen
individuals of remarkable stature and vision who have served Howard
University with distinction as Secretary, and Florence Prioleau,
Esq. is the eightenth executive leader to serve.
On January 23,
1867, Senator Henry Wilson introduced the bill in the United States
Congress to establish Howard University. Eleazer M. Cushman, one of
the original incorporators named in the bill was elected as a founding
member of the University and Board of Trustees, and as the first Secretary
of the Board on March 19, 1867. After the incorporation was ratified,
the Trustees expressed a strong desire to open the University with all
deliberate speed. Cushman, as Secretary, was charged with the
responsibility of requesting General Oliver O. Howard, for whom the
University is named, as Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, "to
secure suitable and adequate buildings for the use of the University
on the site of the property purchased from Smith" (a tract of about
150 acres formerly owned by John A. Smith). Cushman served as
Secretary until December 20, 1867. And thus, the significance of the
position of Secretary was established from the outset and has continued
to grow and develop with the institution through the tenures of each
Secretary, who has left his/her mark on the institution's history
and traditions, helping to build an internationally-known research University
that is one of the world's most important assets.
The incumbent
holds the title of Vice President and Secretary. She is both
Secretary of the University and the Board of Trustees. The position
of Secretary is one of three positions stipulated in the original Bylaws
drafted by the Howard University Board of Trustees in 1867; the President
and the Treasurer are the other positions named. From inception,
the Secretary has been an officer of the Board of Trustees, and has
performed functions and held responsibilities germane to the office
of a corporate secretary. The incumbent also serves as General Counsel of the University.
While the authority
for the Secretary emanates from the Bylaws, they do not fully define
the overall responsibilities of the position or the executive role and
functions therein.
A key responsibility
of the Vice President and Secretary is ensuring that the Board
of Trustees has the proper advice and resources for discharging its
governance responsibilities according to the Bylaws, and ensuring that
there is a record of the actions of the Board. She provides a formal
orientation to incoming Trustees to help ensure

What is the earth's force of gravity?
According to science, the earth attracts everything towards its centre. It is for this reason that fruits from trees or a ball thrown up into the air, all fall to the earth surface. This invisible force of attraction between the earth and any other body is called the force of gravity.
Gravitational pull keeps the moon revolving around the earth
The centre of gravity of the earth lies in this center. Imagine what would happen if a hole is drilled in the earth form one side to the other, passing through its centre and a ball is dropped in this hole. The ball, in fact, will stop at the centre of the earth; it will not come out form the other side. The weight of a body will be more, if it is nearer the centre of the earth.
Similarly, the weight will be less if the body is away from it. This is why a body weighs more at the poles than at the equator, since the poles are nearer to the centre than the equator.
Not only the earth, but all other planets have this force of gravity. As a matter of fact, every body in this Universe attracts the other body with its force of gravitations, and it is this force that keeps all the planets and stars in their places in the sky. It is this gravitational pull that keeps the moon revolving around the earth, and the earth revolving around the sun.
Naturally, the moon also attracts the earth; tides in the seas are mainly due to the gravitational pull of the moon.
Till the end of the 15th century, it was assumed that if two bodies were simultaneously dropped from the same height in vacuum, the heavier body would hit the ground first.
But this assumption was found to be baseless. The famous scientist Galileo Galilei was the first to prove that irrespective of their masses, all the objects dropped simultaneously form the same point in vacuum will reach the ground at the same time. He dropped one ball weighing 100 pounds and another of just half pound at the same time from the learning
, and demonstrated in the presence of thousands of people that both the balls hit the ground at the same time. tower of Pisa
propounded the law of gravitation. According to this law, the force of attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses ad inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. It follows form this that the force of attraction will be doubled if the mass of one of the two bodies is doubled. Newton
On the other hand, if the distance between them is doubled, the force will be reduced to one-fourth of the initial value. The velocity of a freely falling body towards the earth increases by 9.8 meters or 32 feet every second. This is called acceleration due to gravity.

Whoa, where did that come from? The guys over at Tech Hog just got a photo of a supposed Nexus 3. Apparently, Michael Blake from Tech Hog, has a buddy that works in the Android team at Google, and this friend sent him this picture of what could become the next Google phone.
As you might recognize right away, the phone is made by HTC. Tech Hog says that Google is currently testing both an HTC and LG device, but they haven't decided which one to go with yet. A lot of people inside the Android team seem to be pushing for the HTC device, mainly because of the great build quality that HTC devices have.
Looking at the picture below, you'll immediately notice that there are no hardware or capacitive buttons on this device. Further proving that Google will get rid of physical buttons in Ice Cream Sandwich, just like they did with Honeycomb. According to Tech Hog, the HTC device has a front-facing camera, "freaking amazing specs", and HSPA+ and Sprint CDMA support. Seeing how Sprint and Google are very cozy with each other right now, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Nexus 3 launch in Sprint first.
The exterior of the device will change before release, says Tech Hog, so don't be shocked if the Nexus 3 turns out to be a completely different device.
What do you guys think? Is this photo real or some Photoshop magic? Would you rather have the Nexus 3 made by HTC, instead of LG? Let us know in the comments.
UPDATE: Somebody has apparently asked Tech Hog to remove the picture and all the information regarding this device from its website. The plot thickens.

Interactive Comic To Ship With Wii U Mass Effect 3
Much the same as the PlayStation version of Mass Effect 2 contained an interactive comic to fill in the gamers who missed the first title, a similar solution will be offered to purchasers of the Wii U version of Mass Effect 3. This time however, the comic entitled Mass Effect: Genesis, will cover the important events from both of the previous titles in the series.
Whilst we would have preferred to see the upcoming Mass Effect Trilogy hitting Nintendo's new console, this will at least be a step towards getting Wii U owners involved in the epic storyline, assuming they haven't played the first two games. Alternatively, gamers could use this comic to create their character based on decisions they made on the previous games when they played on different formats, in effect allowing them to continue their story with no continue save option available. That's pretty much what I did with Mass Effect 2 on PS3, after having played the first game on Xbox, and it worked pretty well as I did feel I was continuing Shepherd's story.
In addition to the interactive backstory comic, some DLC will also be included. From Ashes, the Extended Cut, Rebellion, Resurgence and Earth multiplayer packs, and a bonus heavy weapon, are all included on the disc.
"The updated version will allow Wii U players to get the back story of Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 and will allow them to make decisions at key story points," said Melanie Faulknor of BioWare. "These choices will then create a save game for you that can be imported into the game, opening up more storylines for each player.
Wii U owners can sample the story for themselves when the game is released as a launch window title sometime in the next few months. Any of you guys planning on picking it up?

Mortgage Brokers in a Market Downturn
In any property market downturn only the very best real estate agents cruise through unworried, with everyone else being forced to tighten their belts and in many cases for the less successful agents forced to take on another job meant time.
The same is very true for the mortgage broking sector, especially in New Zealand right at the moment where there is a very definite flattening of the market. The tightening of the bank lending rules by the government and the reserve bank there's finally kicked in properly and done the job that it was supposed to do which is to stop the incessant rise of house prices in the larger centres. The banks are obliged to limit their lending to residential customers with a 20% deposit, although first home buyers with a relatively low income may qualify for a loan with a 10% deposit. Property investors are even harder hit as they need to have a 40% deposit for every new property they purchase.
Many mortgage brokers serving the property investment market will still probably be ok, as some will have regular clientele who have high net worth and are experienced investors and so are not caught out by the current borrowing restrictions. These clients will instead see the flattening of the market is a unique buying opportunity, and so will probably be even more active than usual.
For the vast majority of mortgage brokers any downturn in sales creates cash flow difficulties for them, and they will have to work even harder to win new business while at the same time tightening their belt. There will be some exceptions however, including those brokers high on the pecking order in a handful of very large mortgage broking companies that are always at the top of every Google search for a mortgage broker. These companies generally get so much business flowing in through the door from the Internet that they can weather any storm. Normally they will prescreen any callers to make certain that they only accept clients who are slam dunks, but in tight times they can expand their acceptance criteria. Visit NZMortgageBrokers.info for more information.
For the large number of independent brokers vet find a web site nowhere near page 1 and Google searches, belt tightening will be essential as well as making absolutely certain that they provide brilliant service to a new client, see a future depends wholly on referrals and repeat business.

Author Sherman Alexie is challenging writers to go to work at independent bookstores Saturday, to encourage readers to buy local.
Alexie grew up close to Spokane, and now lives in Seattle. He says authors should go and work a shift at their local bookstore, in support of the stores that support them throughout the year.
"Independent bookstores are really the source of most alternative literature movements," Alexie says. "My career wouldn't exist without them."
Alexie says booksellers' recommendations made the difference in his access to readers before he won critical recognition and mass-market success.
Alexie issued the challenge in September. The National Booksellers' Association picked up the cause, and now writers and bookstores across the country are participating.
Authors around Oregon are taking Alexie up on the challenge, from Astoria to Sisters. The booksellers association, which is the non-profit arm of the industry, says writers like Willy Vlautin, Cheryl Strayed, Laurie Notaro, and Amanda Coplin are participating.

I am in school and love putting meetings and my test schedule on this product! Works great and have had it for 6 months and everything still sticks to the wall and works great! The dry erase doesn't erase well with the eraser in the pen it comes with, but comes off very easily with a damp paper towel! Love this ! And the gold touches are so cute !
The calendar wall pops work great, but there are some problems. The eraser on the dry erase pen barely works and the adhesive for the cork board is poor. After adding notes and push pins the cock board, the adhesive part fell off of the wall.
Hello, thank you for your feedback! We recommend applying the organization kit to a clean wall to ensure it sticks. Best of luck decorating!
Used in my daughters dorm room to make her room feel more like home. So easy to use and a quick way to decorate your space!
I bought these for my daughter heading to college. We put them up in her dorm. So easy so cute and so happy we bought these.
I purchased this bc I am a very visual person. I like to look at my days/ months all laid out in front of me. I stuck the days and calendar on my refrigerator and I love it!
This calendar is so great for families with busy schedules so we can track what we have going on!
Good purchase!

She keeps magic in her pockets
tied to the strings of red woolen mittens
and hidden deep in tiny shells -
polished like sea glass
the soft burr of color closing over her eyes
as she gazes out at the dawn
creeping coral and rose over the garden gate
while the curl of fragrant tea steeps the morning into something ripe.
She is a trickster and spins gold
out of your bad dreams
and secrets she keeps for you
hidden in a garden that only blooms at midnight
where she tells you stories of dragons
and feeds you oranges and chocolate
laid out on lace, and china plates
collected from sandmen and angels
who got caught in the rain and lost their way
coming home from the stars.
She gathers your wishes in her apron
and stores them in a cedar chest -
wood fragrant from smoke and rain
the heady scent of lingering autumn -
worn in the soft hollow over her heart,
knowing their worth is more than kingdoms
or legends invented by princes and seers,
tracing your childhood on their fragile edges.

A ship-in-a-bottle strategy to synthesize encapsulated intermetallic nanoparticle catalysts: Exemplified for furfural hydrogenation
In this paper, intermetallic compounds are garnering increasing attention as efficient catalysts for improved selectivity in chemical processes. Here, using a ship-in-a-bottle strategy, we synthesize single-phase platinum-based intermetallic nanoparticles (NPs) protected by a mesoporous silica (mSiO 2) shell by heterogeneous reduction and nucleation of Sn, Pb, or Zn in mSiO 2-encapsulated Pt NPs. For selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol, a dramatic increase in activity and selectivity is observed when intermetallic NPs catalysts are used in comparison to Pt@mSiO 2. Among the intermetallic NPs, PtSn@mSiO 2 exhibits the best performance, requiring only one-tenth of the quantity of Pt used in Pt@mSiO 2 for similar activity and near 100% selectivity to furfuryl alcohol. A high-temperature oxidation–reduction treatment easily reverses any carbon deposition-induced catalyst deactivation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows the importance of surface composition to the activity, whereas density functional theory calculations reveal that the enhanced selectivity on PtSn compared to Pt is due to the different furfural adsorption configurations on the two surfaces.

In the fall of 2009, the Fox network took a bold step in their primetime television lineup. Borrowing from the success of reality music performance shows like its own American Idol, the network introduced us to the students at McKinley High School, a fictional high school in Lima, OH, and home to the glee club known as the New Directions. The group is made up of freaks and geeks who feel the wrath of being adifferent.a The cool kids are hell bent on making life difficult for the students in glee club. Yet, because of the determination of Mr. Will Schuester, the clubas advisor, along with a few great songs, Glee has brought a new tone of inclusion to modern television and direct parallels can be seen between the experiences of the show choir members and what is happening in contemporary society. Glee has shown the importance of examining the intersections of pop culture and social issues; this text will encourage thinking on how effective the show has been beyond the screen. Essays provide critical analyses of the show, its characters, and its overall usefulness as a commentary on social issues. The showas content often deals with subject matter that would lend easily to critique around such social issues as sexuality, bullying, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, and family relationships. This text invites readers to examine the intersections between media, society, and the individual.In S. M. Ross aamp; L. E.

You calculate the cost of building a house by using the amount of corners, square footage, quality classification and additional structures, Also, whether it is a housing tract or custom home and where the structure is to be built. Values vary according to local laws and regulations.Continue Reading
Every state has conditions that make building a house there cost more or less than another state, and every county has the same. These costs determine how much the state and contractors are required or allowed to receive for a job.
Dozens of factors beyond local regulations go into the costs of building a structure. These factors include what type of construction company is performing the build, whether a surveyor is required, indirect costs such as overhead and product costs as well as administrative costs and labor benefit costs.
Building even the most basic home is an expensive process, requiring tens of thousands of dollars to build thanks to the costs of employing workers and purchasing the materials needed. The costs of having all the required documentation for state and county regulations adds to the overall cost. Costs fluctuate even from city to city, so a house may cost much more if built in an area where real estate costs more.Learn more about Real Estate

By Vienna Ma
CANBERRA, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama might find his visit to Northern Territory (NT) of Australia a perfect opportunity to announce a strategic plan involving Australia, South Korea and Japan, a foreign and defense policy expert told Xinhua in a recent interview.
According to Associate Professor Wayne Reynolds from University of Newcastle, Obama's upcoming visit to Australia in November comes at a time when the U.S. is under pressure to assert its primary role in Asia.
"From the U.S. standpoint, this will be an attempt to regain the initiative in Asia since it lacks the economic leverage that it once had," Professor Reynolds said.
Expectations are growing that Obama and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard will make a significant joint announcement about an increase in U.S. military presence in the NT, described by Australian Defense Minister Stephen Smith as "more troops in, troops out, more planes in, planes out and more ships in, ships out."
However, Professor Reynolds expected the in-principle discussions about closer co-operation allowing more U.S. troops bases in Australia would take place over an even longer time frame.
Instead, he anticipated that Obama might find the occasion of his visit a perfect time to make announcement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership plan involving Australia, South Korea, and Japan.
"If this occurs it will be couched as a geo-strategic initiative rather than a narrowly focused economic or trade proposal," he said.
While the status of India as a security partner and potential nuclear partner remains a pressing security concern for U.S., Professor Reynolds said the issue is likely to be discussed by the two leaders, when Obama will "almost certainly add his weight to the pressure to have Australia approve the export of uranium as part of civil nuclear."
He also expected Obama to make a statement on the importance of Indian Ocean and energy security, as a basis for increasing U.S. naval basing rights in Western Australia.
Professor Reynolds warned Australia to be mindful of the importance of trade issue when making any announcement on quasi- strategic agreements.
"It will be important that any regional arrangement for security is both comprehensive and inclusive," he said.
The U.S. president's visit to Australia on Nov. 16 and 17 will mark the 60th anniversary of the military alliance between Australia and the United States. This will be Obama's first visit since he became U.S. president.
During his trip in Australia, he will address the parliament and visit Darwin of NT, while en route to the East Asia Summit in Bali of Indonesia.

One of the easiest ways to cheat Medicare is to charge it for services that were never rendered or needed
(PRWEB) October 16, 2013
The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "One of the easiest ways to cheat Medicare is to charge it for services that were never rendered, and or never needed." For example, recently a major pharmaceutical company was allegedly giving kickbacks to increase market share. Sadly, the Medicare patients did not need the medication. If a pharmaceutical insider has well documented proof of this type of wrongdoing, we'd like them to call us at 866-714-6466, so we can explain federal whistleblower programs to them and the types of proof needed to get rewarded."
This example is in reference to a recent settlement between Amgen Pharmaceuticals and the United States Department of Justice, in which Amgen agreed to pay a massive $24.9 million to settle allegations that they violated the False Claims Act. According to a press release from the Department of Justice, Amgen allegedly paid kickbacks to long-term care pharmacy providers in exchange for implementing programs that switched Medicare and Medicaid patients from a competitor drug to Aranesp, a drug made by Amgen. The lawsuit also alleged that Amgen used materials that encouraged pharmacists to use Aranesp for patients off-label. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com
In this case, the whistleblower will receive a significant portion of the $24.9 million settlement.
Simple rules for a whistleblower from the Corporate Whistle Blower Center:
- Do not go to the government first if you are a major whistleblower. The Corporate Whistle Blower Center says, "Major whistleblowers frequently go to the federal government thinking they will help. It's a huge mistake."
- Do not go to the news media with your whistleblower information. Public revelation of a whistleblower's information could destroy any prospect for a reward.
- Do not try to force a government contractor or corporation to come clean to the government about their wrongdoing. The Corporate Whistle Blower Center says, "Fraud is so rampant among federal contractors that any suggestion of exposure might result in an instant job termination, or harassment of the whistleblower. Come to us first, tell us what type of information you have, and if we think it's sufficient, we will help find the right law firms to assist in advancing your information."
The Corporate Whistleblower Center wants to emphasize there are high quality whistleblowers in every state. Potential whistleblowers with proof of wrongdoing in excess of $1 million are encouraged to call the Corporate Whistleblower Center anytime at 866-714-6466, for more information about federal whistleblower reward programs. They can also contact the group via their web site: Http://CorporateWhistleBlowerCenter.Com

SIOUX CITY | There is no title to defend this season. Just a strong desire to rebound from a 7-6 campaign that left the Sioux City Bandits unsatisfied.
That record will be a driving force for a Champions Indoor Football league team that opens its season Saturday night against longtime rival Omaha. The Bandits finished an injury-plagued 2016 season with four straight losses that included a playoff loss to Bloomington in the opening round.
"One thing we try to instill is that when we come into camp we are preparing to win a championship," Bandits Coach Erv Strohbeen said. "We have a sour taste in our mouth coming off of what was our worst season in the last six years statistically."
Sioux City won a preseason game against an overmatched First City team 80-0 at the Tyson Events Center last Saturday, but Strohbeen said he will get his first real feel for the team he has against the Beef. The Bandits downed the Beef 43-38 to open last season and followed that up with a 45-33 victory four weeks later.
The preseason game gave a first look at new quarterback Taylor Genuser, who threw for 227 yards and four touchdowns. Genuser played for the Duke City Gladiators in 2016 where he eclipsed the 20 touchdown and 1,000-yard passing mark.
"He played very well," Strohbeen said. "I am sure there are a couple throws he would like back but he threw it well. He didn't really have to run but he can tuck the ball and go when he has to."
The Bandits have always been a team that has leaned on its running game a good amount and this year figures to be no different with a trio of capable backs.
"We have arguably the three best backs in the league in Jeffrey Mack, Dominique Carson and Drew Prohaska," Strohbeen said. "Mack is electric, we all know that Drew can do because he brings a lot to the table, and Dominique Carson is one of the most elusive guys to run in this league. They are going to be a key to our offense."
The Bandits leader also said he likes the playmaking ability of his wide receivers led by veterans Frederick Bruno, who is returning from a season ending injury, and Jeremiah Oates.
The defense, which was the backbone of the Bandits last season, finished tied for the top spot in scoring defense at 38.4 points per game and third in total defense at 216.4 yards. Reigning CIF Defensive Player of the Year Marlon Lobban returns at linebacker and former Morningside standout Zac Schleuger is expected to make an impact.
The Bandits also boast an embarrassment of riches in the defensive backfield.
Jemichael Williams has come over from Amarillo after recording five interceptions last year and will team with fellow newcomer DeWayne Autrey II, the CPIFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2013. That doesn't included veteran playmakers Jon Smith, Rahn Franklin, Cliff Stokes and Denzel Adams.
As is the case most seasons, Strohbeen is most anxious to learn how both his offensive and defensive lines will perform.
"It will be a work in progress," he said.
The former Bandit offensive lineman is pleased with the work his team put in to get ready for the season.
"This is the most competitive camp I have ever seen," he said. "I believe that every guy we cut can play in the league it is that we are just so deep at some positions."
Not only is this the season opener for the Bandits but it is also a reunion weekend for the team. It will also include the return of former Bandit and NFL running back Fred Jackson. Jackson is the Bandits' individual season record holder for rushing yards (1,770) attempts (334), rushing touchdowns (40) and average per rush (7.32) to go along with several other record marks.
Omaha is coming off a 7-5 season.

According to Live Science, most fish species do sleep, although their sleep cycles are different from human or mammalian sleep. Certain shoaling species that never stop swimming may never sleep.Continue Reading
Sleeping fish usually appear motionless and move only to occasionally twitch their fins, which keeps them suspended in the water. Most fish that sleep appear unresponsive. Blue-headed wrasses can even be lifted out of the water without reacting while they are asleep. Some fish suffer from sleep disorders. For instance, zebrafish with a mutated brain receptor are known to sleep 30 percent less than normal zebrafish under the same conditions, indicating insomnia.Learn more about Fish

From New York, USA:
I am a 40 year old with diabetes or more than 10 years, and the other night at dinner and I went hypoglycemic pretty badly, but my wife did help me. What if I am somewhere alone with the baby? My fear is that the baby will not have any information, and I will walk away or not know where I am. Should I have some information on the baby or should I wear something on me as to what to do? Any suggestions?
These frequent lows are a red flag that something needs to be done to change your regimen so as to prevent them. Please check with your physician about this. As far as identification, I would strongly recommend you wear a medical alert bracelet or necklace and have appropriate information in your wallet. These ID kits are available through a variety of pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, or web-based medical supply services. I would also recommend you have an ID for your child. You can contact your child development center nearest your home for suggestions.

BATON ROUGE, La., July 9 (UPI) —
Vegetarians should be happy…
A Louisiana line cook claims he found "GOD" in an eggplant at an Italian restaurant in Baton Rouge.
When Jermarcus Brady was slicing veggies at Gino's Restaurant on Monday, he cut into one particularly divine eggplant and found a slice of heaven.
The blessed vegetable was cut in such a manner that its seeds appeared to say "GOD" on the inside.
Brady believes that the sanctified seeds are a miracle.

House near Buffalo Grove school catches fire
Firefighters battled a house fire across from a Buffalo Grove middle school Friday afternoon during dismissal time.
Heavy smoke and flames were coming from the second floor of the house at 803 Highland Grove Drive when firefighters arrived. The homeowner called 911 just before 2 p.m., according to Battalion Chief Doug Postma of the Buffalo Grove Fire Department.
The department set up its command post in front of Tripp Middle School, so students were dismissed from the back of the school. The school implemented its emergency plans, and buses were rerouted, Postma said.
"They were very cooperative and organized at that," he said.
No injuries were reported.
The blaze was extinguished 25 minutes after firefighters arrived. A total of nine departments responded to the fire, Postma said.
Investigators are still probing the cause of the blaze.

Stefan recently discussed some of the benefits of picture
functions and metaprogramming in Wasabi. One of the first (and arguably one of
the most useful) internal tools that these features spawned during FogBugz 6
development was the ability to easily memoize and cache function results.
Performance was one of our primary concerns when working
on FogBugz 6, so the ability to reuse previously calculated results within any single
request (memoization) or to store longer-lasting results in the database for
use in future requests (fragment caching) was badly needed. Those who are
familiar with other popular web frameworks are probably used to having these
caching tools readily available, although their implementations are sometimes
quite clunky. We were a little bit jealous, so we decided to chase after our
own implementation. Unfortunately, in
classic ASP/VBScript there is no way to easily achieve this behavior without
massive code duplication and, as a result, an increasingly high likelihood of
cache-related errors.
Wasabi metaprogramming lets us solve the problem
gracefully. What we need is a way to tag a function as <Cacheable>, in which case every call to the function
will check the database for previously stored results and short-circuit if such
a result is found, avoiding the possibly expensive function execution (for the
rest of this article I will only discuss caching, which uses the FogBugz
database as its storage, although memoization is an almost equivalent piece of
functionality which uses per-request in-memory storage).
However, there are a number of complicating factors:
1. Different function inputs produce different outputs.
2. Cached results, or fragments, are usually
user-specific. I should never see the cached result of a function called by
Stefan or Joel.
3. Changes in the database state over time may invalidate
pieces of the fragment cache.
Let's modify Stefan's flower picture function and make a
little utility function that generates the picture of a flower stem with a leaf
either on the left or the right. It also places the flower in a pot depending
on the state of the database:
Picture> _
Sub MyStem( fLeft )
If fLeft Then
__ |
\ \|
\ |
| __
|/ /
| /
End If
If HasFlowerPot()
\ /
\ /
End If
End Sub
Notice that we've added a <Cacheable> attribute to this function. This means that
anytime, say, Joel's user logs into FogBugz and generates a call to
MyStem requesting a leaf on the left, we check the database to see if the
result of this function with matching parameter values has already been stored
for Joel. If so, we give him back the stored value in presumably much shorter
time than letting the entire function run (you'll have to pretend for this
example that execution actually takes a significant amount of time), Joel
doesn't wait as long for the page to load, FogBugz is faster, and everyone's
What did we need to accomplish this? We need to intercept calls to MyStem,
normalize all parameters, and check the database for any matching cached
results. If we don't find any, we need
to run the original MyStem function, take a picture of its result, store the
result in our cache, and return the result. These pieces are easy with Wasabi,
and Stefan has already covered most of the necessary tools. I won't go into the
specifics here, but the intermediate code generated by Wasabi would look
something like:
Sub MyStem( fLeft )
Dim sArgs =
sArgs) Then
Response.Write FragmentCache.Retrieve("MyStem", sArgs)
Dim sResult
= PictureOf OriginalMyStem(fLeft)
sArgs, sResult)
Response.Write sResult
End If
End Sub
A slightly more interesting piece of the fragment cache
is its database-oriented cache maintenance. The original <Cacheable> attribute sent an
additional argument along to its code generator, "FlowerPots". This string matches the name of a database table which
MyStem now depends on, and anytime the contents of table FlowerPots changes,
the cached results of MyStem are invalidated.
How does this work? Since Wasabi knows about all
Cacheable functions at compile time, we can build up a dictionary which
associates database table names with their dependent cached functions. Since
all SQL queries go through our own SQL command wrapper, any time a SQL command
is run from within FogBugz we can simply detect which tables are being changed
and invalidate all associated function results.
This means that whenever I "DELETE
* FROM FlowerPots", the cached results of MyStem are also deleted so no stale
potted flowers are incorrectly drawn. Although it may seem that
detecting any and all updates to FlowerPots is too aggressive of a
cache-invalidation tactic, we do have all types of more specific tools which
let programmers choose whether or not to invalidate the cache during specific
As mentioned by Stefan, one of the nicest things about
letting Wasabi generate code at compile-time is that the user doesn't have to
wait for these associations to be created and for cache maintenance to be
Being able to simply add <Cacheable("TableName")> to any expensive
function and gain safe, database-dependent fragment caching has been an
enormous advantage, particularly when generating large chunks of HTML. There is
no way FogBugz 6 would perform anywhere near its current speed if we weren't
able to make use of easy tricks like <Cacheable> and <Memoizable>.
In the future, when we have nice
serialization/deserialization worked out for all of our objects, we'll also be
able to cache objects (which we can already memoize since in this case they're
simply stored in memory).

Vintage photos of:
1958. My dog Missie catches the eye of a passing cheerleader at Redwood High School in Larkspur, California, the year it opened. Notable alumni in addition to your humble correspondent (Class of '64) include Robin Williams and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. My brother's Ektachrome slide. View full size.
I graduated from San Rafael in '62 and married a Redwood grad (Class of '66) when I got home from Vietnam. Neither was a great experience. I first lived in Santa Venetia then moved right across the street from the SRHS tennis courts. Left Marin in '68 -- got way too expensive and crowded.
Have enjoyed your Marin photos though. It was a great place to live in the early 60s. And, I assume, before that.
My entire family of five kids spent their high school years going here. From around 1962 to 1974. It's great to see the school just before it opened up for classes for the first time. You can see the hole in the roof of the entrance where they have yet to put in the flagpole. They recently did a facelift on the building, but it does not really hide the original construction.
I live about a half a mile from there still, and walk the dog there often.
Lucky me.
Oh, and Robin Williams and Pete Carrol (USC) went to this school.
Dogs are babe magnets.
I have looked at this photo many times in the last year - I think it is one of the most perfect evocations of California life in the 1950s I have seem. The gods were smiling on your brother that afternoon.
I remember Redwood High very well. I went to Tamalpais High, Class of 1954. What are the odds I wonder for me to find this website? Never been here or knew it existed. I was just surfing through the web and was sure I was suffering a flashback or something. And yes, that is the fifties alright. And California stays ahead of the rest of the U.S. for some reason. Diversity perhaps?
It is interesting that when I saw this picture, I thought "what a cool modernist building" ... then I clicked on the comments to read that many didn't like it.
Miss Cheerleader looks like she came out of one of those 1980s high school movies -- "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," or maybe "Grease" except for the hot pants. California must have been before its time even then.
Cheerleaders in 1958 were built right.
This wasn't a school day; in fact, it was a month before the school opened for its first day of classes. The cheerleaders were practicing in the parking lot, possibly for opening ceremonies.
Crazy to see a girl walking barefoot at school! Never saw girls this in my school days.
Holy crap! I went there!!! I check this blog daily! This really trips me out!
...as I silently admonish myself, "Be a reader..."
Yes, I was referring to Dennis Hopper's daughter, not Dennis Hopper - as in, "the children of the following people: ..."
I grew up on the East Coast in Lexington, MA. Our high school was based on school designs in California and has a passing resemblance to the picture above. The biggest problem was that there were several separate buildings connected with an open overhang. Something that might have been good for California, but not good for New England weather!
Yes, Redwood's resemblance to San Quentin (just a couple miles due east) was definitely a common joke among the student body from the beginning. Originally, its starkness was offset a little by some Bauhaus-like design elements that unfortunately have not been maintained. The window-walls at the end of corridors in the classroom building were made up of varicolored glass panes, and the outer walls under the roof arches of the gym were broken up into panels of various pastel shades - sort of Mondrian lite. Now that's all been painted over with a bland margarine color.
As with all of our pre-1962 Ektachromes, this one has gotten red. I generally rely on the auto-color correction functions of Epson scanning software and/or Photoshop Elements to get me in the ballpark - they're both a lot better at that than previously - then I start tweaking. A big challenge in scanning transparencies, both negative and positive, is managing shadows and highlights. I don't have quite the knack for that that ShorpyLabs has, or maybe my Elements version of the filter is dumbed down, but whatever it is, more often than not they've been improved by the time you see them here.
Uh, Dennis Hopper went to Helix High in La Mesa, Southern California, graduating in 1955 - the year I was born. I graduated from Helix in 1973.
[Or was the commenter referring to Dennis Hopper's kids. - Dave]
Bow wow WOW! So who is this girl. After making friends with Missie did she make friends with you?
I also went to Redwood and wow! It is really cool to see it back then. We all thought it was such a horridly ugly school, but looking at it pristine like this makes me appreciate it more. It's got a bit of the midcentury modern going on!
Some other (lesser) notables who went there: the children of Jefferson Airplane, Dennis Hopper, and Joe Eszterhas.
Ah Redwood, home to a summer school session or two. It was often rumored (spread no doubt by those of us who attended rival Tamalpais) that the school was designed by the same person who designed nearby San Quentin.
Either your brother's slides were stored under immaculate conditions in temperature controlled vaults, or you are doing an ace job of photoshopping them back to life. I very much appreciate your loving care in restoring these Ektachromes and am highly enjoying the results. More!
Wondering where your website is to see more of your photography. The stuff from the 60s and 70s is particularly interesting to me - just before my generation (born in '79), but it's really striking to see well done non-fictional photos from the same era as movies I love by Woody Allen et al. Keep on postin'!
Gavin Newsom "notable"? Try "notorious."
