Christmas Scene for soprano and baritone soloists, chorus and orchestra (1954/6). The text conflates Robert Bridges's poem Noel: Christmas Eve, 1913 and Luke 2: 8-14. Finzi suggested that the Nativity 'becomes a vision seen by a wanderer on a dark and frosty Christmas Eve, in our own familiar landscape'. In terra pax is a masterpiece in miniature, Finzi's pacifism at its heart, and his belief that men and women of goodwill should live harmoniously. Weaving through the music are three ideas: the pealing of the bells with their joyous message, a phrase from the carol The First Nowell, and the alleluia refrain from the hymn 'Lasst uns erfreuen'. Duration: 14'. Vocal score on sale, performance materials on hire.

A Simple Method of Decision for the Design Flow Rate of Fish Way

Publication Place
Gifu, Japan
The Organizing Committee for International Symposium on Fishways '95 in Gifu
Flow rate data were analyzed to propose a simple method for deciding about the design flow rate of a fishway. The analyzed flow rate data were obtained at gauge stations distributed all over Japan, for approximately 33 years, on average. The main results are as follows: (1) the 185-day discharge is comparatively correlative to the discharge area; (2) the n-day discharge is strongly correlative to the 185-day discharge except for a large flood occasion; (3) the fluctuation range of flow rate, available for deciding about the design flow rate of a fishway, can be calculated by the discharge area only.

McCann-Erickson WorldGroup, New York, and Campbell-Ewald, Warren, Mich., this week give birth to the Publishing Agency, a joint venture that will develop a variety of print materials for clients.
McCann is the first of the top 10 largest agencies to enter the custom publishing arena. Campbell-Ewald is one of a few shops to have already embraced the medium. It owns one of the largest U.S. custom publishers, C-E Publishing, which produces 39 titles including magazines for clients General Motors Corp. and IBM Corp.
"As marketers face more and more competition, and as one-to-one marketing becomes more critical, custom publishing becomes more important and even vital," said Kirk Cheyfitz, the Publishing Agency's worldwide managing director. "It's an area of communication that will be generating millions and millions of marketing dollars."
Magazines produced and paid for by marketers are the fastest growing segment of the publishing industry. But for now, publishers don't see agencies as competition. Rather, some are hoping the ad world's interest will help grow the market.
"The more corporate America gets into custom publishing, the more custom publishing becomes a fundamental marketing tool," said Chris McMurry, chief operating officer of McMurry Publishing.
Currently, custom publishing brings in an estimated $500 million to $1 billion in ad revenue. It comprises about 5% of the nearly $10 billion a year spent on magazine advertising.
"I've always been blown away by the fact that agencies aren't all over this," said Dick Stockton, VP-general manager of Forbes Special Interest Publications. "They have art directors and copy directors and the whole infrastructure, but they've been slow to grab onto the idea."
The Publishing Agency intends to focus, at least initially, on McCann WorldGroup roster clients. The agency is already doing work for several clients, including GM's Buick. In fact, in a pitch for a marketer executives would not name, the Publishing Agency beat out five traditional publishers for the job.
"I think there will be a reaction," said Pamela Maphis Larrick, exec VP-regional director of McCann Relationship Marketing. "And if other agencies enter, it'll be interesting to see how they do it. It's a huge undertaking and you really have to make a commitment to it."
IPG's new unit will pull resources from both agencies and be housed under McCann Relationship Marketing. The Publishing Agency will use resources from both C-E Publishing, as well as have its own dedicated staff.
The Publishing Agency will be led by Mr. Cheyfitz and Leslie Singer, exec VP-chief creative officer and U.S. managing director. Mr. Cheyfitz was the director of publishing for C-E Publishing; Ms. Singer owned design company Singer AllBrand which IPG recently bought. Singer AllBrand will continue as a separate unit.
Management will report to a board headed by Chairman Louis Schultz, who is also vice chairman of Campbell-Ewald and president-CEO of C-E Communications; and

When you want to make sure that you hire a right candidate for your office job in Canada, it is very much essential to run a background check on the prospective employee to find out the required information. This helps to make sure that you hire a clean and honest employee. This is because background check can reveal things about a job applicant, most of which are not mentioned in the resume. Conducting this type of checks help erase any doubts on the future employees. For this simple and plain reason, most organizations conduct background checks on their job applicants.
Different kind of data and information could be obtained through background verification of a person. One can find whether the person has involved in any criminal activity in the past or any trial pending on him or her. One can also find whether he is serious debt and faced debt in the past. In most cases, the employer wants to check whether the prospective job applicant has really obtained an educational degree and see whether his/her information provided in the resume are true. Each type of organizations may want to know different kinds of information from its job applicant.
One of the easiest ways to conduct background checking process is going online. There are various websites, which can help you conduct this covert checking operation. All that you have to do is visit the website and provide the name of the person and his/her physical address, email, and telephone number, etc. The website will browse its big database and provide relevant information about the concerned person. If you want to have a thorough background checking, you need to utilize the paid service offered by various companies.
Paid services are highly effective than the free services. Today, bigger organizations in Canada are outsourcing their background checking process to these paid services only. For highly quick and reliable background checking services, you can consider hiring the service of Triton Canada.Continue reading »

There are some things which are hard and painful to understand. Slavery. Skyscrapers exploding. War. Tsunamis. Even famous people's ordinary lives.
But in a true story, there may also be courage, hope, love, and determination. When Jeanette Winter tells her readers of historic events and people, she makes sure the stories carry not only the frightening pieces but the parts that leaven the misery as well.
Days of Slavery
The most amazing thing is that she manages to do this while telling stories for very young children. Follow the Drinking Gourd, a book she wrote and illustrated, is a gentle introduction to one of the hardest aspects of African American history: slavery. While slaves worked in the fields, they sang a song, "Follow the Drinking Gourd." The overseer thought it was just nonsense, but the song really gave directions that runaway slaves could use to find freedom
September 11
That terrible day in September, 2001, brought destruction and despair, but it also brought roses. In September Roses, Jeanette Winter found a sign of beauty and love in the midst of the disaster. In the days after the attack, over 2,000 exquisite roses appeared at Union Square, part of a memorial for those who died on September 11. Who gave them and where did they come from? Jeanette Winter found out and told the story very simply in her book.
To Save a Library
When children ask questions about the war in Iraq, they may not so much want to know about the planes, the soldiers, or Saddam Hussein. They may want to know what it was like for the Iraqi people when the war came. The Librarian of Basra is the story of a woman who knew that she didn't have much time before the bombs began to fall in her city. She wanted to save the books. The government would not help her, so she and her friends worked together to save the collection, some of which was hundreds of years old. Again, this is a true story about a real woman who used her wit and courage to save something precious to her people.
Love Finds a Way
Mama: A True Story in Which a Baby Hippo Loses His Mama during a Tsunami, but Finds a New Home and a New Mama—well, the plot's pretty much in the title, but with simple illustrations and only two words: Mama and Baby—Jeanette manages to tell a bittersweet story which might be appropriate for children who have experienced a similar, devastating loss or were spiritually affected by a disaster.
A Warm Memory
The Christmas Tree Ship takes picture book readers back to 1887 when the captain of a schooner would ferry loads of Christmas trees from Michigan to Chicago. When the captain and his ship were lost in a storm, his wife and daughters decided to continue the tradition, "When the snows of November blew in again."
Not all of Jeanette's stories are so tragic. Some simply give readers a way to experience other cultures and other times. Klara's New World follows a Swedish settler family as they try to make their way in 1800s America. Elsina's Clouds introduces readers to a young girl in South Africa who has painted designs on her house as part of a prayer for rain. Angelina's Island is really a tale of two islands: Jamaica and Manhattan. Missing her home in Jamaica, Angelina needs a way to get past her homesickness and discover life on her new island. In addition to these stories, Jeanette has also written and illustrated short biographies of Georgia O'Keeffe, Johann Sebastian Bach, Emily Dickinson, and Beatrix Potter.
She has also used her simple, vibrant folk art style to illustrate other authors' works about many different cultures and times. Shaker Boy, by Mary Lyn Ray, tells the story of a child left orphaned by the Civil War who is taken in by the Quakers and learns their songs and ways. Day of the Dead by Tony Johnston tells of a Mexican family preparing to celebrate that special day. Eight Hands Round: A Patchwork Alphabet, by Ann Whitford Paul, uses the names of historical quilt patterns as the basis of the alphabet. The patterns were often named for things the settlers did in their everyday lives, and the book explains them.

They may not have played football at the first Thanksgiving, but in Wellesley, Mass. America's game and Turkey Day have gone hand in hand for quite some time.
On Thursday morning Needham High will host Wellesley in the 120th meeting between schools. The first game between Needham and Wellesley, which are both about 17 miles west of Boston, was on Thanksgiving of 1882 and resulted in a 4-0 win for Wellesley, which leads the series 58-52-9. The annual Wellesley-Needham game is the oldest Thanksgiving Day football rivalry in the country, with the teams missing only seven contests in 124 years (on two occasions they played twice in a season), four due to World War I.
"The rivalry is heated but friendly," said
Before this year's historic battle each school will host its traditional pep rally on Wednesday. At the start of Thursday's game the seniors will be introduced one by one as they charge across the 50-yard-line to the cheers of some 2,000 fans.
Twenty-five years ago
In a more recent ritual, girls from both schools play a powder-puff touch football game after school on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Officers from the local police departments coach the two squads; they run practices for their teams and donated a trophy for the winner of the event.
The evolution of the Wellesley-Needham rivalry is a microcosm of just how much times have changed. From 1711 until 1881 the village of Wellesley was the western part of the town of Needham, but when its population began to rise in the late 19th century, Wellesley split off and became its own town. Wellesley High was built just four miles from Needham High, and the two became rivals overnight. In 1882
The early games were much less structured than they are today. In the notable 1887 game fans from either side would storm the field and swarm any opposing player who seemed to be breaking free towards a touchdown. As a result, the game ended in a scoreless tie. One player,
But despite the festive tradition and holiday dressing, for Wellesley and Needham, winning the game is still the main dish. "The season for both teams can be judged on this game alone," says Johan.
Connecticut is home to the longest running high school football rivalry, with New London High battling Norwich Free Academy nearly every year since 1875. The two schools more recently began playing their annual game on Thanksgiving, but the tradition is age-old. Like the Wellesley-Needham series, the games have changed immensely. The 1891 game was called midway through when a punted ball (inconveniently, the only football in town) was lost in a swirling snowfall. Norwich Free Academy leads the series 75-59-11.
Perhaps the strongest tradition belongs to the annual game between Boston Latin and Boston English. Latin, the oldest high school in the country, leads English, America's oldest public school, in the series 71-36-13. The first game was played in 1887, and the teams now meet in Harvard Stadium, the oldest football stadium in the nation (built in 1903). There is always enormous alumni turnout at these games and, the outcome can define an entire season. "When you come back for your 10-year, 20-year or 30-year reunion, all people want to know is how your class did against English," says Boston Latin athletic director

Andy Harris, the only Maryland Republican serving in Congress, voted against reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act last week, but he didn't call and tell me that.
Word of Harris' vote came from the Democratic Party — specifically, a news release from state chair Yvette Lewis, who blasted the 1st District congressman for his nay on the VAWA: "Today, by voting against the Violence Against Women Act, Congressman Andy Harris decided to continue his trend of voting against bipartisan legislation that would help people in the First District and Maryland.
"Eighty-seven House Republicans voted for this legislation, which is a reauthorization of vital support for organizations that serve victims of domestic violence. But Andy Harris remains committed to his far-right, out-of-touch positions and refuses to put the needs of his constituents first."

3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
Thanks to the hot weather and humidity, I've been on the hunt for a new foundation for my oily skin. Somewhere along the way, the search turned into a full-on foundation face-off. I chose six foundations ($9 to $45) and put them head-to-head in three categories: high-end, drugstore, and BB.
I like a medium to full coverage liquid foundation, and my T-zone is especially oily, so I picked these test subjects to suit my needs. Also: all of the below photos were taken with the same application technique at the same time(s) of day. The only variance is my eye makeup and lip color.
I'm not going to go crazy talking about colors because my goal here is to find the right consistency of foundation for the swampy hell days of summer, aka one that won't make my face feel like a glazed doughnut.
Ready, set, face-off.
bare Minerals: Thin and dry.
NARS: Thick, creamy consistency.
bare Minerals: Light to medium with SPF 20.
NARS: Medium to full (no SPF).
bare Minerals: Velvet matte.
NARS: Matte but not flat.
bare Minerals: Blends very quickly and easily.
NARS: It took a little work, but it got easier once the foundation warmed up against my skin.
bare Minerals: I blotted about three times in the course of a day (usually I blot four times per day) and still had residual shine. It didn't make me feel oilier, but it didn't reduce my oiliness, either.
NARS: I only blotted twice and it stayed put all day.
WINNER: NARS. While I loved the initial finish and feel of the bare Minerals foundation, it failed on shine control.
DRUGSTORE: CoverGirl vs. Revlon
Revlon: Very thick and creamy.
CoverGirl: Also über-creamy.
Revlon: Full (no SPF).
CoverGirl: Medium to full (no SPF).
Revlon: Very matte.
CoverGirl: Soft matte.
Revlon: Despite being so thick, this was one of the easiest to blend.
CoverGirl: Easy to blend and not too thick or slippery.
Revlon: No blotting and it stayed looking relatively fresh all day.
CoverGirl: I had to blot once, and at the end of the day I was a little dewy, but it stayed on through the end of the day.
WINNER: Revlon Colorstay by an inch. Both foundations gave great coverage, but Revlon maintained better throughout the day.
BB CREAMS: Maybelline vs. Benefit
*Maybelline: Creamy and true to its name.
Benefit: Smooth, creamy, and silky; slightly thicker than Maybelline.
Maybelline: Light to medium (no SPF).
Benefit: Medium with SPF 35.
Maybelline: A bit dewy and not totally even.
Benefit: Soft matte.
Maybelline: Easy.
Benefit: Equally easy.
Maybelline: It didn't stay fully on, but it lasted longer than I expected.
Benefit: Faded a bit, but overall pretty long-lasting.
WINNER: Benefit. I didn't hate the Maybelline product, but Benefit is better suited for oily skin types like me.
*Note: The Maybelline foundation contains 2% salicylic acid. I don't have a huge problem with acne, but I do get blemishes. I used this during a post-period breakout and I saw some results.
After testing out all of these, I would say that CoverGirl and Revlon are my favorites! What are your go-to foundations for oily summer skin? Have you tried any of the products I mentioned?

NSF-NAIS Workshop - intelligent software: the interface between algorithms and machines
October 19-21, 2009, Edinburgh
WelcomeThis is the website for the 2009 NSF-NAIS Workshop on Intelligent Software, to be held October 19-21, 2009 at the University of Edinburgh, with funding provided by the National Science Foundation (US) and the EPSRC's Centre for Numerical Algorithms and Intelligent Software.
OverviewThe era of many-core computing and the massive progress made over recent years in algorithmic research means that it is now possible to solve problems in computational science that were almost unimaginable a few years ago. However, this increase in complexity of both computer technology and numerical algorithms means that it is drastically more difficult for those who are concerned with the end result science to efficiently implement and deploy their calculations. This three-day workshop will lay the foundation for research and funding programmes in this crucial area. The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading researchers at the interface between computational science, applied mathematics, and computer science to discuss algorithms pervasive in the scientific applications community, and their implementation and deployment on evolving target architectures. Advances on three levels are needed:
- numerical analysts and applications scientists should collaborate i finding natural mathematical abstractions for expressing algorithms that can be mapped onto parallel software structures
- structures as software interfaces must be formalized in order to separate the mathematical properties that are required from the implementation details
- improved automation of the implementation of some of these interfaces for a certain set of parameterized computer architectures

Patient Education
Our Staff
Laura Aversano, D.D.S.
When you visit us at Manhattan Dental Care, you will receive dentistry to give you the smile you desire in a pleasant environment, and all delivered by a warm, welcoming staff.
Giving Back
Dr. Laura Aversano has served as an associate professor of fixed and removeable prosthodontics at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry. During her time as associate professor at UIC, she also worked with junior and senior dental students during their clinical training. After the birth of her daughter, Ava, in 2007, Dr. Aversano decided to devote more time to her family and temporarily took a hiatus from teaching. As part of her continued commitment to giving back, Dr.Aversano and Manhattan Dental Care participate in the Illinois Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped. This program, along with referrals from local organizations, allows Dr. Aversano to reach out to the local community and provide free dental care to those people in need. Dr. Aversano has also volunteered her free time in Chicago land clinics to donate dental services. Every year Manhattan Dental Care hosts a candy buy back where children receive $1 per pound of Halloween candy. The candy is donated to Operation Care Package. Manhattan Dental Care collects several hundred pounds of candy every year. Dr. Aversano's community service was recently recognized by Moraine Valley Community College. She was inducted into the college's inaugural Hall of Fame Class in November 2014, in part, because of her community outreach.
Working with a Caring Staff
Dr. Aversano believes strongly in providing quality dental care to her patients. Her philosophy is to listen to her patients and ensure their comfort. Manhattan Dental Care staff plays a crucial role in easing a patient's concern and Dr. Aversano requires that each member of her staff shows the necessary gently and passionate care towards all patients.
Continued Education
New advances are made in dentistry each year, and keeping abreast of the latest technology is essential to providing the best dentalcare. Dr. Aversano is committed to knowledge and always exceeds the yearly amount of required education.
Dr. Aversano is a graduate of the 2002 class of dentistry from the University of Illinois. Her and her husband of 10 years, Vince Aversano, reside in Manhattan. Together, they enjoy spending time with their daughter Ava and are very active in the community.
Olga Madrigal, R.D.H.
I am a graduate of Northwestern University's Dental Hygiene program, and have been a Dental Hygienist for more than 20 years. It's unbelievable to me that I have been treating patients in family practice since 1991. Over the years, I have obtained advanced certifications in hygiene. I am often amazed by how much I love my job. I truly enjoy helping people improve their beautiful smiles through patient education and a complete "cleaning". I am elated to be a part of Manhattan Dental Care because we share the "patient first" philosophy.
I am a Chicagoan, born and raised, but I have found my home in the south suburbs. I have been living in a neighboring suburb of Manhattan for the last seven years. I have three children, ages 16, 13, and 11, and because our communities have great schools, it is the main reason I have chosen to raise my children in this area.
During my time aware from the office, I enjoy spending time with my children, family and close friends. Running has been one of my long-standing passions. I have completed several half marathons. I would also consider myself a foodie and wine lover.
Olga Madrigal is fluent in Spanish
Peggy Viscum, R.D.H.
I have been working as a dental hygienist since 1999 and my path has brought me back to Manhattan. I have spent my career treating patients of all ages in family practices. Education and relationships are the cornerstones of treating dental disease. My focus is my patients, and I strive to educate them on ways to improve their dental hygiene. I to look forward to their appointments to give them the home-care tools they need between their appointments.
I have strong roots in the Manhattan community from my childhood. I was born and raised in Joliet and currently reside in Shorewood. I have two grown daughters and a recent granddaughter, who is an absolute joy. My free time is spent on bike riding, bikram yoga, and cooking.
Jill Cook, R.D.H.
I am a graduate of the 2005 Kalamazoo Valley Dental Hygiene program. Immediately after graduation, I moved to Illinois and began working in the southern suburbs of Chicago. I have worked as a dental hygienist for 10 years. I was employed as a temporary placement through an agency during part of my career. I was introduced to Manhattan Dental Care in 2014. They have been my favorite office from the moment I walked through the door. I am extremely honored to be a part of their team.
As a hygienist, I strive to be the best at my job by taking note of my patient's individual wants and needs. I am here to listen and offer suggestions on how they can achieve optimal oral health. Oral health is an integral part of overall health. It is something I am very passionate about. Every appointment is an opportunity to make a personal connection. My patients are the reason I enjoy my job to the fullest.
Outside of the dental office, you will most likely find me doing some sort of craft or project, driving around in my black and neon green Jeep Wrangler, taking a yoga class, or possibly at one of my children's sporting events. My husband and I reside in the Frankfort/Mokena area with our three children Keegan (7), Jemma (6) and Zage (3). We also have a fur child Newfoundland named Prada.

Sex, flies and smoking terminals
We've been clearing out the office of our recently retired Bibliographical Services Librarian, and have uncovered a cache of documents in that transitional stage between 'clutter' (nasty stuff, to be thrown out) and archival material (invaluable stuff, to be, in due course, catalogued, conserved and made accessible).
Many of them are memoranda. These are probably only familiar to younger readers from period dramas set in the 'sixties and 'seventies. You may, for instance, have seen a Boss instructing a Secretary 'Take a Memo, Miss Peabody" and wondered what was meant. In the days before e-mail, they were a means of communication between different sections and levels of an organisation : inevitably a "top down" form of communication ('memorandum' is the Latin for 'must be remembered') they did not generally invite or expect a response. They did, however, have the advantage that the Boss had to read their thoughts aloud to another human being before sending it, which may have helped to avoid some of the worst excesses of the e-mail genre.
Some of these memoranda provide valuable evidence of how earlier generations responded to Change in the Workplace. For instance, we often think of 'information overload' as being a modern phenomena (typically managers complaining of having more e-mails than they can cope with) but this memorandum from 1968 indicates that the problem goes back as far as the invention of the telephone.
"It has come to my notice that two members of the staff have recently telephoned the Principal Lending Librarian with a view to making appointments to see him. He is extremely annoyed by these incidents. Apart from the irritation they cause – he may be in the middle of important discussions at the time – such calls are not the correct way to secure an interview. They must be arranged through the proper channels.
Any member of the staff with reasonable cause for requiring an interview with Mr [Redacted] will in future make application in the first place to me. Permission will never be refused. although it must be realised that the Principal Lending Librarian is a busy man with many calls upon his time, and any interview granted will take place when convenient to him."
(Perhaps because they never 'ad the Latin, the staff clearly failed to remember this, because the memo had to be recirculated in 1971.)
But it was not only new technology in the obvious sense that caused problems. Even the advent of the humble paper handkerchief proved challenging, as this memo from 1971 suggests:
It has come to my notice that some members of the staff have been using the metal waste-paper bins to dispose of used paper handkerchiefs. This unpleasant and insanitary practice must cease.
Apart from the fact that the bins were never intended for this purpose, it should be obvious that to fill them with such germ-laden matter exposes the rest of the staff to an unnecessary additional health hazard. In a centrally heated building, especially, they would become fertile breeding-grounds for bacteria, as well as flies and other vermin. Moreover the porters, whose task it is to empty them, are being unfairly exposed to a much higher risk, since they are obliged to handle the contents of each bin, as they are sacked each morning. [The handkerchiefs, presumably, not the porters – Ed.]
I am arranging for each waste-paper bin to be thoroughly disinfected, and shall be glad if the staff concerned will, in future dispose of their used handkerchiefs either in the toilets, or, preferably, in the incinerator expressly provided for such purposes.
Of course, it was not only changing technology that offered a challenge to the managers of days gone by – changing social attitudes, too, could be hard to come to terms with. The 1960s saw the arrival of the Permissive Society, as hippies preaching Free Love and Women's Liberationists demanding equality thronged Carnaby Street … (no, actually, hang on a minute, this memo dates from 1984):
"Further to my memo of 6 December, I have now been able to discuss Sheila Kitzinger's Woman's Experience of Sex with the Director and he has consulted with a doctor who is personally known to him. This has served to confirm our impression that it is an exceptionally well written work and one that we need not be ashamed to have on the shelves in our lending libraries. It may, therefore, be added to stock forthwith."
(What the Director's doctor friend would have made of the 25 copies of 'Different Shades of Grey' that we currently have in stock is hard to say, though it seems unlikely that he would have thought it was 'exceptionally well written'.)
And then there was New Technology proper. What is often forgotten today in the age of hand-held devices and cloud computing is the degree of physical danger than the pioneers of library automation had to endure. Rather like early aviators or the operators of mediaeval artillery, they were constantly at risk of injury from their own machinery. This memo is from 1994:
If a terminal starts to smoke please switch off immediately (if possible) and contact Gary or the ASM. Do not use a fire extinguisher on the terminal as this will destroy the terminal and invalidate our repair warranty.
I have spoken to the Vanitec engineer who repairs our terminals and he has informed me that even if the terminal isn't switched off the faulty part will burn itself out and will not burst into flames."
Luckily, of course, the modern librarian can rest secure in the knowledge that all forms of electronic communication spontaneously self-destruct after five years. Otherwise – who knows? – our e-mails, tweets and blog posts might someday be retrieved from some dark hard drive or cache to make us look as strange in the eyes of our successors as our predecessors sometimes seem to us …

TORONTO, June 25, 2001 — University of Pittsburgh researchers have found the combined PET/CT scanner is the most powerful imaging tool available for localizing, evaluating and therapeutic monitoring of head and neck cancer and may be equally useful for other cancers that are difficult to pinpoint.
Results of a study showing PET/CT has a distinct advantage over PET or CT alone were presented today at the annual meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine.
According to the researchers, the prototype of the combined PET/CT machine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is able to effectively localize cancerous activity in the head and neck, an area of the body that presents substantial challenges to other imaging methods because of densely packed tissue structures and the frequent involvement of lymph nodes.
Separately, computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) do not provide images with the necessary combination of clear structural definition and metabolic activity that is achieved with the PET/CT.
"The PET/CT tells us the exact size, shape and location of the cancer and provides a specific target for surgery or other treatment," said Carolyn Cidis Meltzer, M.D., associate professor of radiology and psychiatry and medical director of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's PET facility. "The PET/CT can also be used to help us develop the best course of treatment for an individual, then monitor that individual's progress during treatment."
Head and neck cancers often have already involved lymph nodes when first discovered and can spread rapidly if they are not found and treated quickly. Images from the combined PET/CT scanner are particularly useful in allowing a radiologist to see cancerous activity at a metabolic level and pinpoint its exact location in the tissue so a biopsy can be performed and proper treatment begun.
Tumors among the skeletal muscle, salivary glands and lymphoid tissue in the head and neck area are difficult to separate from healthy tissue in standard PET images, which look like blotches of color amidst fuzzy structures. With CT, unless they are clearly swollen, cancerous lymph nodes may look normal.
Size matters when radiologists evaluate lymph nodes for signs of cancer. Seen by CT, lymph nodes under one centimeter are considered normal and not biopsied.
The PET/CT, developed in part by David Townsend, Ph.D., senior PET physicist, professor of radiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and a co-director of the University of Pittsburgh PET facility, works by combining PET technology, in which the scanner reads cellular metabolism of glucose, and CT, which builds a clear cross section of tissue structures using x-rays.
"Because head and neck cancer starts small and spreads rapidly, the PET/CT will provide doctors with a means for earlier diagnosis and treatment to potentially save lives," said Dr. Townsend. "With PET/CT an accurate diagnosis of cancer could be provided months earlier than with any other imaging method."
The groundbreaking research done by Drs. Townsend and Meltzer in Pittsburgh led the FDA to approve the PET/CT, known commercially as the Biograph, earlier this year for use as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for cancer treatment.
Other authors that contributed to the research are Carl H. Snyderman, Melanie B. Fukui, Daphne A. Bascom, Subash Chander, Jonas T. Johnson, Eugene N. Myers, Marsha A. Martinelli and Paul E. Kinahan.

|27th KATE President's Inauguration Address
Dear KATE members,
I am greatly honored to serve The Korea Association of Teachers of English (KATE) as its 27th president. I would like to express my warmest and deepest greetings to all of you. Especially, I would like to send my earnest respect and gratitude to the former presidents, board members, and all KATE members for their great dedication and excellent endeavors. Now, I am very proud to be part of this prestigious group of scholars and teachers.
Last year, we celebrated our 50th anniversary. Over the past five decades since its foundation in 1965, KATE has grown into a highly acknowledged core community of ELT professionals both at the domestic and international levels. This growth has been possible thanks to the boundless contributions and self-sacrificing dedication of our former presidents and board members as well as other members of KATE. Based on their previous accomplishments for KATE, I and the new KATE board members will exert our utmost efforts to maintain the status of the association with service-minded leadership, together with my passion for the development of English education and to continue our journey to pursue academic and professional excellence in the field of English language teaching and research in order to expand our horizons and perspectives locally and globally. We are also equally committed to encouraging English language teaching and research that will ensure the excellence and fairness of English language education practices that are currently being developed and conducted in Korea. These are always worthwhile objectives, but we must continually renew our commitment to pursuing these goals.
For the next two years, I and the KATE board members will particularly do our best to broaden the base of English language education not only from the cognitive perspective but also from the social, cultural, political, and ideological perspectives. As the issues of globalization, educational accountability, and the sociopolitical dimension of education and assessment increase their influence on English language education, we are seeing the expansion of English education and research not only in terms of language teaching per se, but also in terms of the social perspectives of English education domestically and globally. We have long felt that there is an urgent need for the field of English language education to maintain its high quality and fairness of learning, teaching, and assessment in terms of Korean sociopolitical consequences as well as globalized perspectives. Moreover, in addition to the academic aspects of English language education, I will also focus on the non-academic aspects of English education, such as the empowerment of KATE in dealing with current sociopolitical issues of English language education and active involvement in initiating, developing, and evaluating English language education policies.
I believe that KATE should be a wellspring where professors, researchers, teachers, and other stakeholders in English education can work together to find solutions to their current problems and gain insight by sharing their thoughts and difficulties within the association. For English teaching at schools to be implemented effectively, issues and problems that emerge in the process must be resolved through the combined efforts of English education scholars, teachers, researchers, the schools, and the government. We need special support and encouragement from all KATE members. Accomplishing these visions to make KATE a more prominent ELT association in Korea as well as internationally will not be possible without your valuable love, time, and contributions.
I am looking forward to serving together to ensure that KATE will continue to lead, thrive, and shine throughout the coming years. So it gives me great pleasure and privilege to cordially invite all of you to join this wonderful upcoming journey by sharing brilliant ideas and expertise to contribute to unprecedented growth of KATE.
Young Shik Lee, Ph. D.
President, The Korea Association of Teachers of English

First Trailer for Action Thriller 'Billionaire Ransom' with Ed Westwick
by Alex Billington
July 11, 2016
Source: YouTube
"If we get this done, biggest ransom in the history of the world, my friend." Gravitas Ventures has unveiled a trailer for a film called Billionaire Ransom, an interesting action thriller of sorts. The story is about a group of kids from rich families at a boarding school on an island who take matters into their own hands when the campus is taken hostage by criminals. The cast includes Jeremy Sumpter, Phoebe Tonkin, Ed Westwick, Dominic Sherwood, Elliot Knight, Sebastian Koch, and Sara Stewart. Not really sure what to make of this, some weird scenes in this trailer, but maybe it has some intriguing twists and turns. Then again, this seems like it could straight-to-DVD and it would matter either. It's made by the director of I Know What You Did Last Summer who hasn't really made much else since that film hit in 1997. See below.
Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Jim Gillespie's Billionaire Ransom, direct from YouTube:
Follows a group of over-privileged, out-of-control young adults who have been sent by their frustrated, billionaire parents to a tough-love wilderness school on a remote island off the coast of Scotland. Kyle (Sumpter) and Amy (Tonkin) find themselves in this group as a last opportunity for them to take responsibility for their own lives and abandon their reckless ways, or risk being disinherited. Suddenly, a group of mercenaries led by Billy Speck (Westwick) invade the island and hold the privileged lot hostage for the largest ransom in history: one billion dollars. When Kyle learns they are all to be killed even if the ransom is paid, their wilderness survival training is the only hope of outwitting the mercenaries and staying alive. Billionaire Ransom is directed by filmmaker Jim Gillespie (Venom, I Know What You Did Last Summer), from a screenplay by Alexander Ignon. Opens in theaters + on VOD starting August 19th.

Police National Search Centre takes latest trainees through their paces.
The Police National Search Centre, a joint military and police unit with over 25 years' experience, is internationally recognised as the world leader in the development and training of counter-terrorism and search techniques.
Developed after the 1984 Brighton hotel bombing, the centre has trained thousands of officers in techniques that help keep the UK public safe.
Superintendent Tony Ismay, who heads up the centre at Bramshill, said officers attending courses are trained in searching for anything from missing people to looking for improvised explosive devices.
"There are 6,000 licensed search officers in the UK and our centre is the only place that accredits and provides the specialist training for these officers," Supt Ismay said.
There is 13 staff at the centre and the trainers, all who are seconded from forces and the Royal Engineers, have assisted in offering specialist advice to many high-profile cases including the searches for April Jones and Madeleine McCann.
Supt Ismay said: "A huge amount of police work involves searching for missing people, and our expertise is often sought nationally and internationally."
Insp Gary Crowther, a trainer seconded from Norfolk Constabulary, and Sergeant Cliff Jones from Hampshire Constabulary took a group of officers through their paces as part of a five-day Police Search Team (Licensed Search Officer) course last week.
As part of the training, officers applied their training to search an open wood area for devices including a handgun, a grenade and cash. Meanwhile a nearby search house on the College of Policing Bramshill site had materials hidden in the kitchen, dining room and lounge, where officers were tested on their systematic search skills to locate hidden items.
Insp Crowther, who has worked in Royalty Protection conducting venue searches ahead of royal visits in Sandringham, said: "You're always learning in the world of search training. There's never a place that you can't think to check, and that's what we constantly apply to our training - the need to be systematic in your search."
The College runs a variety of search courses:

My running partner!
"Nothing's better than the wind to your back, the sun in front of you, and your friends beside you." Aaron Douglas Trimble
Are you sure he didn't a bit? I'm sure he's scared of you know.

"Run when you can, walk when you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up." –-Dean Karnazes
"There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing" Dave Landgraf
Woohoo! Ahead of the bunny. Until about 12 hours time, whereupon I will pass it again tomorrow, woohoo! :-D
Do what you want, just how you like. Nobody has to know.
Warning: I will be bragging to the full extent of my capabilities (but, honestly, I really think I earned the right to)!
In the beginning of August, I was 100 km behind the bunny. Today, I run 60 km ahead of the beast. All through the month, I skipped running nine days only (which would easily be more than enough for 50 km more), and never more then three days in a row. And please note that I was ill for four days. In total, 243 km. I ran in asphalt, through mountain trails (and, twice, off trails, across bushes and around and over boulders), I ran in the athletic track in my town, I even ran on the beach, barefoot.
To close this fantastic (for my standards, at least) month I decided to have a significant run today, so I broke my all time distance record with a 27 km run through mountain trails!
What a great month! I didn't know I could do such a thing! Unfortunately, the holidays are over...
The pace bunny is now in my rear view mirror. Booya!

Being the hamburger fan that I am, I had to enjoy the best Southern California has to offer so I added three of my favorite burgers to my "pre-London bucket list".
My first stop was at In & Out where I had my traditional "crispy" french fries, chocolate shake (for dipping those fries) and a cheeseburger with ketchup instead and whole grilled onions.
They make a very good shake - thick and cold - that is perfect for dipping your french fries. With the right cook at the frier, you can have some really good crispy fries with just the right amount of crunch. And their burgers are always delicious albeit a bit thin of a patty.
Score: A
Next, I went to Stacked Burger with my family where we had the beautiful and fabulous Andie as our waitress.
I particularly like their pretzel buns which are extremely hearty and flavorful. This time around I tried a chicken burger and it was all-around good and filling -- I could only eat 1/2 of the burger myself. Unfortunately their french fries are hit and miss with this time's basket of fries being cold.
Score: B
Finally, I visited Umami Burger with my family with dreams of truffle burgers dancing through my head. Imagine my delight when I saw that it was #truffleseason at Umami. The choices were very tempting but I stuck with my traditional truffle burger and a side of truffle fries.
The shoestring fries covered in truffle cheese and truffle salt are so good it is almost "sinful". Trust me, you'll be closing your eyes in delight as you eat each heavenly fry.
And have I mentioned the truffle burger?? This burger is no joke -- it is my favorite burger (a 6 oz. house-ground, hand-formed patty) made with the "Umami Master Sauce" and topped with their incredible and mouth-watering house-made truffle cheese, glaze and a roasted garlic aioli. Yes -- all that goodness is wrapped up in one burger topped by their signature bun that is perfectly toasted.
Score: A+
(FYI - my parents have both mentioned that they think the burgers are too rich in flavor. Yes it is not your usual fast food fare but this is a gourmet restaurant with burgers that will send your taste buds a whirling with a combination of ooziness, gooeyiness, savoriness, delightfulness, etc. Do yourself a favor and better yet do your pallet a favor and try an Umami truffle burger with a side of their amazing truffle fries. And let me know your thoughts!!

February 11, 2014 18:16 ET
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 11, 2014) - Brookfield Office Properties Inc. ("BPO" or the "Company") (NYSE: BPO) (TSX: BPO) announced today that the Board of Directors of the Company (with interested directors abstaining) has determined to unanimously recommend that shareholders of BPO accept the offer by Brookfield Property Partners L.P. ("BPY") (NYSE: BPY) (TSX: BPY.UN) for any or all of the common shares of BPO ("Common Shares") that it does not currently own (the "Offer").
Under the Offer, each BPO shareholder will be able to elect to receive consideration per Common Share of either 1.0 limited partnership unit of Brookfield Property Partners (the "BPY Units") or $20.34 in cash, subject in each case to pro-ration (the "Offered Consideration"). The full details of the Offer and the method of acceptance of the Offer are included in the take-over bid circular and related materials (the "BPY Circular") filed by BPY today at www.sedar.com and expected to be mailed by BPY to BPO shareholders tomorrow (February 12, 2014). Following mailing tomorrow, the Offer will be open for acceptance until 11:59 p.m. (local time) on March 19, 2014, unless the Offer is extended or withdrawn by BPY.
The recommendation of the Board of Directors is based on, among other things, the unanimous recommendation of the Independent Committee of the Board. In connection with its recommendation in favor of the Offer, the Independent Committee received a fairness opinion (the "Fairness Opinion") from Morgan Stanley Canada Limited ("Morgan Stanley") to the effect that, as of February 9, 2014 and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations upon the scope of the review undertaken by Morgan Stanley, as set forth in its opinion, the Offered Consideration, taken in the aggregate, was fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of BPO (other than BPY and its affiliates).

Country singer Gretchen Wilson and comedian Bill Engvall are the latest celebrities to step in as last-minute replacements to headline shows at SeaWorld in the aftermath of documentary Blackfish.
Wilson and Engvall will take the stage in Orlando, Florida for the second week of SeaWorld's 2014 Bands, Brews and BBQ concert series, starting next Saturday (08Feb14).
Bosses at SeaWorld were forced to scramble to fill in spots left by nine artists, including Willie Nelson, Cheap Trick and Heart, who all cancelled their gigs at the embattled theme park after watching Blackfish, a film which exposed the bleak conditions faced by captured killer whales housed at the location.
Wilson and Engvall are following in the footsteps of Kid Rock and Alan Jackson, who kicked off the concert series last week (01Feb14).
Other replacement performers for the six-week series are expected to be announced soon.

Liverpool fans will be hoping that Brendan Rodgers' team can push on in the 2013/14 campaign and become a recognised force in English football once again.
Last season wasn't the best for Liverpool or its supporters. Their FA Cup campaign ended with a shock defeat to Oldham, their Capital One Cup run was cut short by Swansea and in the Premier League, they failed to beat any side in the top six with the exception of Tottenham.
Many Liverpool fans have accepted that they will have to wait a while before the Premier League finds its way into their trophy cabinet. But Brendan Rodgers' side showed signs of promise last season.
With it being the Irish manager's first at the helm, he did considerably well taking in to account all the factors he faced. The Liverpool side he was left to rebuild was not the inherently strong side they once used to be, although, he is working on that.
Following the disappointing impact of signings Joe Allen and Fabio Borini last campaign, Rodgers found gems within Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho.
Both of these will be vital to Liverpool's hunt for glory next season and having made further promising signings this summer with the additions of Simon Mignolet and Kolo Toure, Rodgers is strengthening his side as much as he possibly can, and is making wise transfers in the process.
The Luis Suarez situation will have been a big blow to the club and it's fans. If he does leave, then they will have been dealt a further blow with the news Shakhtar Donetsk's forward Henrikh Mkhitaryan opted to move to Borussia Dortmund.
Whilst last season may not have been everything Liverpool fans hoped for, Rodgers has began to plan for the future and will inevitably be giving the Anfield faithful hope in the years to come.

Specializing In Oakland, Livingston, Macomb, & Wayne County Divorce Matters
As a Michigan Family Law Attorney, our offices regularly deal with divorces in Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb County. In the midst of divorce subjects such as property division, child custody, child support, alimony or spousal support, annulments, and paternity issues are very common.

As Michigan Child Custody Attorneys, we understand the unique challenges of this area of the law and have the experience to ensure all your rights and interests are fully represented.
Whether your Michigan family law case involves marriage, divorce, or children there are a few recommendations we make to all clients. The first is to educate yourself. You will find on our site a wealth of information explaining the law as it relates to each issue and how participants in these cases can protect themselves, their rights, their property, and their children. This is a great resource for getting you started and ensuring that you understand your part in the process, but should you have any questions we are always available and willing to discuss specifics with our clients.
Without a Michigan Divorce Lawyer, your rights and interests will be compromised. There are too many factors, issues and steps for you to simply "go it alone". Regardless of how well you and your former spouse get along and how "clean" you think the divorce will be – things change. And when they do, you need to be prepared. The divorce process commences with the filing of the petition for divorce, known as the Complaint. The filing fee for a divorce is $150.00. An additional $80.00 is due if children are involved.

Child Custody
Whenever children are part of the divorce equation, finding a workable solution becomes all the more complicated. Issues regarding custody, visitation, support and decision making authority can make an already emotional event boil over.
As a Michigan Child Custody Lawyer who has handled numerous child custody cases – both initial and post-divorce modifications – our attorneys understand the complexity of the issues involved. Child custody is far more complex than simply deciding who gets the kid and when. It's a decision that involves insurmountable levels of evidence, proof and testimony. In order to ensure all the necessary arguments are raised, you need the experience of a Michigan Child Custody Attorney. Click Here For More On Child Custody In Michigan...
Child Support
Are you getting enough in child support? How much should you be paying? Do you think you are paying too much? Have circumstances changed? What exactly are you required to pay for? When does child support end? How about college?
As Michigan Child Support Lawyers, these are just some of the many questions we encountered during the numerous child support and modification cases we handle. Although child support is ultimately determined using a mathematical formula, coming to that point with the correct information is both essential and complex. In order to ensure your child support situation is both correct and fair, you need the experience of a Michigan Child Support Attorney. Click Here For More On Child Support in Michigan...
Whatever the reason, sometimes you make a rash decision to get married one night only to find out in a day or two that you made a mistake. Getting an annulment is not as easy as simply erasing the yet-to-dry ink on the marriage certificate. There are many complex steps and evidentiary burdens of proof that must be shown to the court. This is why getting an annulment requires the legal expertise of a Michigan Annulment Lawyer. Click Here For More On Annulments In Michigan...
Property Division
Getting the divorce is the easy part, at least in comparison to the details that go along with it. Who gets the house and who gets the car? What about those wedding gifts, or the wedding ring? Is the property that I had before we got married marital property? And who can forget about the pet dog? All of these questions are about the same thing: Who gets what. And the answer comes from the legal process known as division of property. Click Here For More On Property Division In Michigan...
Spousal Support & Alimony
Spousal support – formerly referred to as alimony – is the legal term used for describing the money one spouse is ordered to pay the other so that spouse can maintain a similar lifestyle to the one they have become accustomed to during the marriage. Going through a divorce can be both an emotional and financial nightmare. From what income should be counted, to how earning potential is determined and time frames are set – perhaps more than any other area of family law, spousal support requires a particular specialization. In order to ensure all of your interests and rights are fully protected, you need the experience of a Michigan Spousal Support Attorney. Click Here For More On Spousal Support In Michigan...
Paternity is simply the name given to the process of determining who the biological father of a child is. Specifically, paternity as a legal term only pertains to children born out of wedlock. The person who is determined to be the biological father is thereafter considered the legal father – unless other legal action is taken. Paternity is a serious legal issue that – if ignored – can compromise your legal rights. Whether there is a child within or outside of a marriage, having the court order a ruling as to paternity has legal consequences on such topics as child support, visitation and custody – just to name a few. Click Here For More On Paternity Matters In Michigan...
Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement is a pre-marital contract that ensures what one brings into a marriage remains their personal property – it is incorrect to believe prenups are only for the rich and famous. In fact, prenuptial agreements are becoming a common part of the marital process, meaning before you get married you should at least discuss the concept with a Michigan Prenuptial Agreement Attorney.

Disgusting. Billionaires and Super PACs Lead Efforts to Deny Trump Delegates=> Cruz Calls This Democracy
On Saturday Ted Cruz supporters took all 13 of the delegates up for grabs at the Colorado GOP Convention to complete a clean sweep of the state.
But it was not without controversy.
There never was a vote – Party elites decided on who got the delegates.
After Cruz swept the Colorado delegates the Colorado Republican Party tweeted this out:
On Monday Senator Ted Cruz mocked Donald Trump today after the GOP elites snatched him all the delegates in Colorado.
"And the latest thing he's seized upon is when people vote against him they're stealing the election. It's a really odd notion. What is this democracy of which you speak?"
Now we know that billionaires and Super PACs are working to deny Trump delegates.
Former Romney hack Katie Packer founded the anti-Trump Our Principles PAC.
The Politico reported:
First they spent tens of millions trying to boost their favorite presidential candidates, then they poured cash into ads attacking Donald Trump, and now some of the biggest donors on the right are turning their attention to the delegate fight.
Anti-Trump billionaires are funding ground operations in an increasing number of states to try to ensure the selection of national convention delegates who oppose Trump. The strategy is being executed by the anti-Trump Our Principles PAC, which has a stated goal of blocking the bombastic billionaire from clinching the GOP presidential nomination before the party's convention in July.
But the PAC's officials acknowledge that they likely won't stop there and that they intend to keep up the pressure all the way through the end of July's Republican National Convention, possibly including trying to steer the nomination to an alternative candidate.
While engaging in presidential delegate fights is an unprecedented use of super PAC cash, one of Our Principles' billionaire donors said it's a smart way to "cover all bases." And the donor, Minnesota media mogul Stan Hubbard, brushed aside Trump's increasingly vocal frustration about getting cheated in the battle for delegates.
"There's nothing unfair about it. He or she who can marshal the most forces and do the best job, will get the nomination," said Hubbard, who in February donated $10,000 to Our Principles and said he'd consider giving more to the stop-Trump effort.

Four years of medical school and a three-year residency left Dr. Jeanette R. McDaniel with a pretty good grasp of pediatric medicine.
She felt at ease in a universe where tympanic reflex measurements and purified protein derivative tests are commonplace. The business side of medicine, on the other hand, was a mysterious, silently beckoning dark hole.
Most newly minted doctors "haven't the foggiest idea about business," said Dr. McDaniel, who is in her early 30s and practices medicine in Ellicott City. "I pretty much learned as I went along. Some of it is common sense, but not everybody has good business sense."
