Professor Lorna Lueker Zukas serves as Director for the BA Global Studies Program and teaches courses in Sociology, Global and African Studies. Prof. Zukas' interest in global connections started during her undergraduate year abroad in Uppsala, Sweden where she studied immigration problems and assimilation possibilities for diaspora populations. While earning a Master's Degree Prof. Zukas traveled to Africa to participate in the 1985 United Nations Decade for Women Conference in Nairobi, Kenya. This experience changed her life. Both inside the UN Conference and at the parallel non-governmental organizations (NGOs) forum, she participated in discussions with Zimbabwe's First Lady Sally Mugabe, Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, and Angela Davis fueling a passion for global feminism and Africa. She earned a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, San Diego where, after completing fieldwork in Zimbabwe, she wrote a dissertation on "The Challenge to Independence: Women, War, and Social Change in Zimbabwe."
Prof. Zukas joined the full-time faculty at National University in 1999. She served as a Gender and Development Consultant for the United States Agency for International Development (2001-2003) working for the Regional Economic Development Services Office for East and Southern Africa. In 2015 she was an invited professor at Hebei Normal University for Nationalities in Chengde, China.
Professor Zukas' current research focuses on gender and political transformations in Southern Africa, globalization, transnational feminist networks, gender and development, and digital culture. She serves on numerous Editorial Boards including H-Africa and Bershire Publishing "This World of Ours" series. She is a founding member of the (reestablished) California World History Association and currently serves as Secretary. She also serves on the Board of Directors of the African and African American Studies Research Center at the University of California San Diego.
Professor Zukas is a National University Presidential Scholar (2013-2015, 2011, 2009, 2006-2007, 2003-2004), winner of the Dr. Jerry C. Lee Outstanding Service Award (2012), and National University's President's Distinguished Teaching Award (2011). She is also the recipient of the Teshome H.

text: Women over 40 come into motherhood in several different ways. What they share is a fierceness of spirit, perseverance and a host of other qualities. Cyma Shapiro, in her work with midlife mothers, aims to dispel myths about this group; redefine women and middle age; and provide these mothers with a voice, face and forum. Her essay about her own midlife-motherhood journey also speaks to this group's singular truths about the breakdown of all relational obstacles, and love and life choices.

Solutions in Sight for Global Nutraceuticals Market Battling with Regulatory and Consumer Confidence Issues
In February 2015, the nutraceuticals industry came in the crosshairs of Eric Schneiderman, New York Attorney General, as he launched an investigation into the efficacy and safety of herbal dietary supplements. Since then, several media reports have warned that nutraceuticals could do more harm than good – reports that stakeholders in this industry have criticized for being poorly researched. Consumers, on their part, have become slightly wary of impulsively adding nutraceuticals to their shopping carts, with consumer groups demanding more 'clean label' nutraceutical products.
Browse Research Report: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/global-nutraceuticals-product-market.html
It will take more than signature markers such as 'organic' and 'natural' for companies in the nutraceuticals industry to contend with the challenges that have cropped up on the regulatory front and have been compounded by a slew of negative media reports. The global nutraceuticals market is currently at a critical phase and the stance it adopts in the coming year will determine much of its future success, industry experts have opined. The long-term growth prospects of the global nutraceuticals market, however, look promising. Business intelligence firm Transparency Market Research, for instance, has said that the nutraceuticals market will have a valuation of US$278.96 bn by 2021. The market will reach this value with a projected CAGR of 7.3% from 2015 to 2021.
Even as the industry as a whole grapples with several regulatory and consumer-confidence issues, there are solutions in sight. Here are two opportunities that can be found in the current scenario:
Launching more natural products that align with consumers' wellness goals: With the focusing now increasingly being on classifying what constitutes a 'natural' ingredient, nutraceutical makers can build consumer confidence by getting their products or key ingredients certified by reputable organizations. DNA barcode identification is expected to gain importance, especially when it comes to extracted botanical ingredients. Companies can seize this opportunity as a means to gain the trust of both consumers and regulators. In the coming years, positioning products as miracle cures for diseases and conditions would likely cause damage to the identity of nutraceutical brands. Hence, launching products that are more in line with consumers' wellness goals with more realistic promises is the need of the hour.
Creating better integrity in the supply chain: Both functional foods and nutraceuticals need robust supply chains that can adapt to the frequent changes in regulatory mandates, ingredient stability, consumer demand, and technologies. Currently, the nutraceuticals supply chain is also bound by government regulations, with regulations in each country having a different degree of maturity. In several countries, the supply chain regulations that govern the nutraceuticals industry are not as stringent as that for the pharmaceutical sector. However, the safety and integrity of ingredients remains paramount to the nutraceuticals supply chain as well. In view of this, developing suppleness in supply chain management would be integral to success.
Browse Press Release: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/pressrelease/global-nutraceuticals-product-market.htm
While North America is currently the largest regional market for nutraceuticals, Asia Pacific is seen to be a very lucrative space too. Countries such as India and China, with their massive population base, are proving to be multibillion-dollar nutraceutical markets.

In "Reserved Words" (August 2003, InstantDoc ID 39418), Martin Corydon-Petersen asserts that you can't create files or directories whose names conflict with reserved words, illustrating with a folder named con.pds. However, you can indeed create and delete such a directory. Use the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to bypass the reserved words list. For example, go to a command prompt and enter
MD \\server\d$\con.pds
This command creates a directory called con.pds on the D drive. To remove the directory, enter

Nestled among intersections and office buildings, Skokie Valley Hospital, 9600 Gross Point Rd., offers the community numerous health-care services.
``Perhaps our strongest feature is the personalized service we give our patients,`` said Dr. Leonard Berlin, chairman of the board of trustees and director of radiology. ``As an independent, not-for-profit hospital, we offer our patients direct care from their attending physician. Because we are not a teaching hospital, patients are not treated by residents and interns, but have almost continuous interaction with their personal doctors.``

In this excellent, underrated historically accurate western, Kevin Costner gives the best performance of his career, and he is supporting by superb acting all around from the likes of Gene Hackman and an absolutely brilliant Dennis Quaid as Doc Holiday who absolutely destroys Val Kilmer's overrated performance in the inferior "Tombstone." "Wyatt Earp" feels real all the way though with realistic violence, and does not have action sequences for the sake of action, but rather to actually advance the story. The movie also features stunning cinematography and one of the best musical scores of all time.

"Wyatt Earp" by Yojimbo
Kevin Costner once again projects his own self-image of the all-American hero, this time portraying legendary frontier marshal Wyatt Earp. And as usual, it's too self-important and FAR too bloody long. The first hour is especially tiresome, as the young Wyatt's life is a dreary combination of sentimentality and melodrama but things do pick up once his father bails him out of jail. Even then however, the underused supporting cast seem far more interesting than the stone faced and characterless Costner; even the plum role of Doc Holliday (played by Dennis Quaid who is clearly enjoying himself) feels little more weighty than a cameo. The aspect of male bonding does work well though, making it all the more obvious that the relationships between the Earps and their other halves rarely exceeds ...

Cuban musician Juan Formell, 71, who for more than four decades was the driving force behind the big band salsa orchestra Los Van Van, died Thursday, Cuban state television reported in Havana. The cause was not given.
Formell received a Latin Grammy in 2013 for excellence, on top of another one in 1999 recognizing the album "Llego … Los Van Van."
"My life has been entirely dedicated to music and only makes sense when people make it theirs and enjoy it," he said upon receiving the award last year.
Born Juan Climaco Formell Cortina on Aug. 2, 1942, he was a band director, bassist, composer, singer and producer over the course of his long career.
Slender and quick to smile, Formell first learned music at the feet of his father, Francisco, a flutist and pianist.
As a young man he joined various important musical groups, collaborating with Guillermo Rubalcaba, Carlos Faxas' orchestra and the Reve group in 1967, where he made significant contributions such as the use of the electric bass and keyboards.
In 1969, he created Los Van Van, which became Cuba's most famous big band orchestra and whose danceable tunes attracted a wide following on the island and overseas.
The lyrics of his songs told the social history of the island and reflected Cubans' joys and concerns, always with a sense of humor and a picaresque touch.
Formell also set poems by the poet Nicolás Guillén to music and composed scores for the theater and cinema.
Frank Budd
Former 100-yard dash world record-holder
Frank Budd, 74, an Olympic sprinter and former 100-yard dash world record-holder, died Tuesday in Marlton, N.J., of what his family said were natural causes. He had suffered from kidney ailments and multiple sclerosis.
Budd placed fifth in the 100 meters at the 1960 Olympics in Rome and also ran on the U.S. 100-meter relay team, which won preliminary rounds but was disqualified in the final after a botched baton transfer outside the passing zone. Had the result stood, it would have been a world-record relay time.
The next year, while still a student at Villanova University outside Philadelphia, Budd set world records in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard straight and was a member of a world-record 4-by-100 relay team.
The 100-yard dash record of 9.2 seconds, which gave him the unofficial title of world's fastest man, came at a meet on New York City's Randall's Island. The record was later broken by two other Americans, Bob Hayes and then Ivory Crockett. Records in the event, which is a bit shorter than the sanctioned 100 meters, stopped being recognized internationally in 1976.
Budd also won NCAA and AAU championships in track.
A native of Asbury Park, N.J., Budd graduated from Villanova in 1962 with a bachelor's degree in economics. Despite not playing college football, he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles that year and played wide receiver for one season, followed by a season with the Washington Redskins, then three for the Canadian Football League's Calgary Stampeders. When he entered professional football, it ended Budd's international track career.
Budd later worked for the New Jersey Department of Corrections and retired in 2002.
Walter R. Walsh
FBI gangster hunter, Olympic shooter
Walter R. Walsh, 106, who captured gangsters as an FBI agent in the 1930s and went on to train Marine Corps snipers and become the longest-lived Olympian, died Tuesday at his home in Arlington, Va., after suffering a heart attack a few weeks ago, said his son Gerald.
Walsh, who first honed his shooting skills by picking clothespins off a clothesline with a BB gun as a child, began his FBI career in 1934 after graduating from Rutgers University's law school. On one day in 1935, he helped capture gangster Arthur "Doc" Barker in Chicago and fatally shot a second gangster, Russell "Rusty" Gibson.
Two years later, Walsh was in Bangor, Maine, on the trail of the Brady Gang. Tipped off that the gang planned to return to a sporting goods store to stock up on weapons, the FBI set up a stakeout. Walsh's role was to pose as a salesman, and when gang member James Dalhover went inside, Walsh arrested him. He then confronted and fatally shot a second gang member, Clarence Lee Shaffer Jr., but not before being hit in the chest and hand. Also killed in the shootout was Alfred Brady, the FBI's "Public Enemy No. 1."
During World War II, Walsh served in the Marine Corps, training snipers in North Carolina and fighting in the Pacific. In 1948 he competed in the London Olympics, placing 12th in the men's 50-meter free pistol event at age 41.
In 2013, at the age of 105 and 321 days, he set the record for longest-lived Olympian. He was also the FBI's oldest retired agent.
Walsh was born May 4, 1907, in New Jersey. He got his first rifle, a .22-caliber Mossberg, when he was about 12, according to a profile in the American Rifleman. He continued to shoot until recently, his son said.

Cover choice really matters. You need a Bible you want to be seen with. You might want one that doesn't stand out, or one that links you to a big youth festival brand. Covers can be smart and modern, cool and trendy, flash and snappy or pocket and bag friendly.
2. The right stuff:
You want a youth Bible that's not afraid of questions. One that takes on evolution, self esteem, suicide, consumerism, relationships and yes, sex. You could choose one that goes through the whole Bible in one year, shows you how to apply its meaning in real life or gives you a Catholic Youth Focus.
3. The right read:
Youth Bibles come in all the modern English versions. From the original and New King James (KJV/NKJV) through to its latest successor: the English Standard Version (ESV), the popular New International (NIV) and bestselling New Century Version (NCV), to the lively New Living (NLT) and free flowing Message Remix.

Hi my name is Lucia Anderson.
This is my seventh year of teaching at Windom and its been the most amazing past four years meeting the kids, parents and staff. I am really looking forward to another great year.
I was born in Bogotá, Colombia. My mother was also a teacher and she was the principal in her own school. My father was a business executive and is currently retired. I also have a younger brother who is a veterinarian.
I studied at the Universidad Pedagogical National in Bogotá, Colombia; a university for teachers. My degree is Spanish and Modern Languages.
After receiving my degree and teaching license, I participated in a teaching fellowship certificate program in Ceuta, a city located in Morocco. This is a part of Africa that belongs to Spain. I completed my student teaching in Granada, Spain. Then, I returned to Colombia where I worked as a teacher while completing a graduate program in computers and multimedia. I participated in many professional development workshops on effective and research based education strategies for teaching.
I have been teaching Spanish, Science, Social Studies and Math in Spanish full time for the past eight years in the United States and I have taught at Windom since 2011. Also I have continued with my professional development by completing courses in the graduate education program at Hamline University. On 2012, I obtained my Minnesota Teaching License at Hamline University as well.
I hope that this short autobiography will help you to learn a little bit more about me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the trust, support, and the opportunity of teaching and taking care of your kids.
Lucia Anderson
From Colombia/US with love.

What Many Salespeople Tell their Customers:
(This is dedicated to Dwayne, a salesman at a local "super store" which has an extensive computer section. He is a young and aggressive salesman that works for minimum wage and small commission. I recently heard him give a more verbose version of the above sales pitch. I spoke with him and the other sales people. THAT store is more careful in their tails and tactics. I don't like hearing retail sales people lying to their prospective customers.
Layman's definition: I'm sure you remember those old green screens at school, some government agency, or possibly even work... when you powered the system down, you could still see the image of the screen. That is "burn-in"!
Fact: VGA monitors came out in the late 80's. They are made differently and don't have the same type of phosphorous which caused the burn-in. In the last ten years, I have had many SVGA monitors which are left running 24 hours a day - 7 days a week and not one of them has ever experienced, hinted at, or been inflicted with the dreaded "burn-in" from the old days... and they usually aren't running any screen savers. Today, screen savers are a personal preference, not a requirement. However, I have found that there are a lot of retail sales-people that will graciously look you straight in the eye and try to sell you either an upgraded (more expensive) monitor or a screen saver for these incorrect reasons.
There are certain things to consider when purchasing a monitor, and it isn't the fancy screens in the retail store. A state of the art video display on a fast and powerful system, with the right software and a semi knowledgeable salesperson with fast fingers can make things look a lot better. Here are some basics:

To say ourmaninthefield has a soft spot for techno is a bit of an understatement, especially in the form Carl Cox serves it. Over the years the Warehouse project has become our homeground and one of our favourite club spots. For that reason there was a hint of sadness for us filming knowing it was the last season to be hosted at the underground car park on store street.
The biggest compliment we could pay was capturing Carl Cox at his best in the arches of store street. We bid a fond farewell to a much loved venue and await with hope and anticipation the next industrial venue to host the legendary Mancunian party night

Work In Progress Wednesday - Rose Afghan Progress
12 comments:
lovely, lovely ! :)ReplyDelete
Pretty roses!ReplyDelete
Barbara x
Hi Amelia I love this,this is going to be stunning .ReplyDelete
What about stitching hearts in the blank areas?ReplyDelete
So wonderful.ReplyDelete
Hi PamelaReplyDelete
Your blanket is so pretty. I like Queeniepatch's idea of stitching hearts between the roses. Or maybe a trio of small hearts step-stacked would be cool. Or not.
xx, Carol
Where do you get these afgan kits? I've never seen at my local craft stores.ReplyDelete
Great progress :) I agree with Carol, maybe hearts. Or perhaps you can look online for a nicer bow design to stitch.
Have a great day!
Just lovely!ReplyDelete
Hi Pamela, this Rose Afghan is so pretty, I would put a rose bud in the other squares or just leaves. I can´t embroider without a hoop, or everything seems to get twisted up in my hand and my needle pokes through fabric that isn´t to be embroidered.ReplyDelete
This is very pretty Pamela.ReplyDelete
Great to see that you made this project one of your 17 this year.ReplyDelete
Those roses are so pretty! Maybe you could do a mirror-image of the roses and use another colour scheme in the remaining squares? Red or Cream roses might look lovely with the pink.ReplyDelete

Cherry Mobile Omega Spectrum: MODS and How To's
Good day AndroidHowdies!
This will be my first article about Cherry Mobile development! On this article, we will discuss all about the development of Cherry Mobile Omega Spectrum (CMOS) specifically on rooting, flashing custom recovery preferably ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery and ROM / Firmware as well.
As you can see, Cherry Mobile Omega Spectrum has Broadcom Technology on-board. If you have noticed, Spectrum has been manufactured with a rare chipset architecture which made it difficult to mod due to the lesser number of developers of this kind of device having same architecture. In this case, there's a lot of Spectrum users tend to worry a lot and regret from buying the smartphone since it has low development potential.
End your worries Spectrum users because after reading and following this article, you'll gain hope on developing your Omega-phablet device.
Here are the guides on how to root, flash custom recovery such as CWM and ROMs available for Cherry Mobile Omega Spectrum. Spectrum still has few mods and development but soon we can enjoy and get tired of the tweaks available on it. :D

The Garden of Infants
"Kindergarten"—the name gives it away. Advocated by the Prussian education reformer Friedrich Fröbel as an environment in which to nurture children like young plants in a garden, kindergarten came to the U.S. with German immigrants in the late 19th century. The first English-language kindergarten opened in 1860. Answer these questions about the institution.

Missouri voters pass law seeking to bar health care mandate
[JURIST] Missouri voters on Tuesday approved Proposition C [text], which seeks to make the individual mandate provision of the recent health care reform law [HR 3590 materials; JURIST news archive] unenforceable in the state. The law, which was passed with 71.1 percent in favor [results], stated that "[n]o law or rule shall compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in any health care system." The law was sent to voters by the Missouri General Assembly [official website] after significant opposition from the Democratic caucus. The initiative was placed on the ballot after replacing a proposed state constitutional amendment that would have been voted on in Novermber. While the Supremacy Clause [Cornell LII backgrounder] of the US Constitution [text] makes state law subordinate to federal law, the measure is seen as a way to either color enforcement of the reform law [Kansas City Star report] in the state or to provide the foundation for a court challenge. Proposition C also included a provision allowing insurance companies to liquidate more easily and goes into effect immediately. Similar laws have been passed by the legislatures of Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana and Virginia [JURIST report]. Oklahoma, Arizona and Florida will have similar initiatives on their ballots [JURIST report] during the November midterm elections.
A judge for the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia [official website] on Monday denied a motion to dismiss a lawsuit [JURIST report] brought by the state of Virginia challenging the constitutionality of the individual mandate provision of the health care law. The Virginia Health Care Freedom Act was the first of its kind passed by any state, and says that no individual shall be held liable if they refuse to sign up for health care. The court found that Virginia had standing to bring the case because the federal health care law directly contradicts the state law, which the state has an interest in defending. The court also found that the question of whether Congress had exceeded its authority under the Commerce Clause [Cornell LII backgrounder] and the Tax Clause was one that "raise[d] a host of complex constitutional issues." In May, the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) [association website], a small business lobby group, joined 20 states in a lawsuit [JURIST report] challenging the health care reform law in the US District Court for the Northern District of Florida [official website].

Passive Design for Ventilation in Apartments
Posted in Models by Kate Archdeacon on May 16th, 2012
From Maitiú Ward's "Lilli Apartments" on Australian Design Review:
Despite the challenges of working mainly within the tight constraints of high-rise residential development, it is Elenberg Fraser's stated ambition to introduce one new environmental feature into every building it designs.
As Fraser describes it, to date Lilli is the most successful exploration of the wind-model driven, passive systems approach it has been developing. While aesthetically striking, the distinctive scalloped striations of Lilli's balconies have actually been carefully designed to draw air into the apartment interiors.
Working with engineering company VIPAC from data on site-specific solar and wind patterns, the facade elements have been modelled to not only provide sunshading, but also emphasise pressure differentials between the balconies off the living rooms and windows in the bedrooms.
In effect, rather than cross ventilation, what this creates is 'through' ventilation, as wind is trained across the facade and then sucked laterally through the apartment interior, in one opening and out the other.
Leaving the window to the surprisingly deep balcony open a crack, Fraser pops the casement window in the main bedroom, and sure enough, from my spot in the centre of the living room I feel a distinct breeze begin to play across my skin. It seems like such a small thing – a gentle eddy so subtle that many occupants may not even notice it; enough, perhaps, to keep them just those few degrees shy of reaching for the air conditioner remote – but it has wide implications.

Outcomes from a Churchill Fellow on Green Roofs and Sustainability
Posted in Research by Rob Eales on January 13th, 2009
Melbourne resident and Victorian Coordinator of Green Roofs Australia, Ben Nicholson was selected as a 2008 Churchill Fellow, an Australian Trust established in 1965 whose principal object is to perpetuate and honour the memory of Sir Winston Churchill by the award of Travelling Fellowships known as Churchill Fellowships. This award gave Ben an opportunity to pursue his interest in green roofs and sustainability, as he was able to spend two months visiting green roofs and walls and meeting with the pioneers in this emerging eco-industry around the world.
A copy of Ben's report is attached for your information. The report is a short read of 12 pages, but if you have limited time, go straight to the Executive Summary for the key points.
Ben strongly encourages anyone with an interest in contributing to Australias future to consider applying for a Churchill Fellowship. It is truly a life-changing experience! For more information about the Churchill Fellowships click here.

text: Sitefinity 4 RC: Migration Tool by User Not Found Nov 30, 2010 In addition to the Sitefinity RC which was recently released, a new open-source Migration tool is also available for preview. Although still in an early alpha stage, this tool is designed to assist users in migrating content from Sitefinity 3.7 websites to the latest 4.0 version. The tool works by creating a set of Web Services in Sitefinity 3.7 that are used to export site content. There is also a corresponding Module that is installed into your Sitefinity 4.0 website that calls these services to import content. Alpha Beta As mentioned, this tool is in a very early preview. There are some known issues that are continuously being updated and improved, based on user feedback. Please ensure that you make backups of both your existing 3.7 Sitefinity website as well as the new 4.0 site to which you are migrating content. As of the current version of the tool (v0.2), not all of the content is available for migration. In addition, there are many known issues that you will likely encounter during your trials. We encourage you to please provide us with feedback on your experience using the tool so that we can continue to improve and upgrade this tool. Source Code The Sitefinity Migration Tool is being distributed through Codeplex, including the full source code. This allows you to inspect exactly what the tool is doing with your content. In addition, because the project is open source, you are welcome to both make and contribute your own modifications to the project. Documentation Codeplex also hosts the Sitefinity Migration Tool Documentation, which is also continuously being updated. Video Walkthrough Gabe Sumner has put together a video guide to installing and using the Migration Tool based on his experience. If you are planning to test this tool on your own sites, be sure to take a moment to first review this video. It highlights a few minor issues you may encounter, and will likely prove very helpful in getting you started. Watch the Sitefinity 4 Migration Tool Video on Telerik TV Feedback Once again, we encourage you to discuss your experience with the Migration tool in our Sitefinity 4 Forums. Your feedback will be helpful in our continuing efforts to improve and refine the tool. Take a moment to Download the Migration Tool as well as the Sitefinity 4 RC and let us know how you are doing.

I think I'll join. I'm mostly interested in the henshin hero aspect. Is it fine if I reuse powers from a different tokusatsu show?
I don't really intend to be extremely Engrish about things. Majin refers to an otherworldly being, so it's easy to justify the language change, but otherwise, the game is being played in English, so I'm going to stick with naming things in English. Also, I'd rather keep it short and simple.I did originally consider calling it Project HENSHIN, but if I did, it would probably be a backronym or something.

TOKYO — Japan's anti-camcording law went into effect on Thursday, making it illegal to record pics in theaters.
The law was passed late in May, with a sentence of up to 10 years and a fine of up to Y10 million ($86,960) or both for violators.
Industry orgs — including the Japan and Intl. Motion Picture Copyright Assn., the Motion Picture Producers Assn. of Japan, the Japan Assn. of Theater Owners, the Foreign Film Importer-Distributors Assn. of Japan and the Japan Video Software Assn. — jointly lobbied the government for the legislation in January and pressed vigorously for its passage.
Mike Ellis, MPA's regional director for the Asia Pacific region, welcomed the new law.
Ellis is working with his Japanese colleagues to shut down camcorder piracy throughout Asia, where many pirated copies of Japanese pics are sold.
"Camcorder piracy not only costs the movie industry worldwide billions of dollars every year, but also diminishes the enjoyment of the movies for consumers, who may unwittingly purchase counterfeit DVDs that contain poor quality images and sound," Ellis said.

Home > News > Progress Breakfast Shines Spotlight on Entrepreneurship as Downtown Syracuse Becomes a 24/7 Neighborhood
Progress Breakfast Shines Spotlight on Entrepreneurship as Downtown Syracuse Becomes a 24/7 Neighborhood
Tuesday, March 29, 2016
Syracuse, NY - Approximately 150 members of the community joined the Downtown Committee of Syracuse, Inc. for breakfast Tuesday morning, March 29, to learn about three ground-breaking endeavors bringing new energy to Downtown Syracuse at the Progress Breakfast. Building upon the momentum generated from the first-ever Progress Breakfast held in October, Harris Beach, PLLC presented the event at 8:00 am at SKY Armory.
With more than $340 million currently invested in downtown redevelopment activities, Downtown Syracuse is in the midst of a renaissance. Since March, 2015 Downtown has welcomed 20 new businesses. The center of the city has also experienced a surge in residential activity. With more than 3,250 people now calling Downtown Syracuse their home, the community has experienced a 40% increase in residents in the last five years.
As Downtown Syracuse moves closer to a 24/7 Downtown, Progress Breakfast attendees heard directly from four entrepreneurial individuals who are contributing to Downtown's growth by building connections through living, working and playing in Downtown Syracuse. In their own words, presenters offered an inside look at three of the most talked-about ventures happening Downtown right now:
First, Troy Evans and John Talarico, the founders of Commonspace – and Syracuse's first Co-Working complex, Harris Beach Syracuse CoWorks – introduced attendees to a more connected way of living and working through Co-Living and Co-Working, a new development concept that has generated national headlines. Commonspace is accepting applications for leases now. The living portion of the space, located at 201 East Jefferson Street (map), officially opens later this spring. Evans and Talarico shared how the project blends Co-Working, private living space, common areas, technology and management to create a new neighborhood with an emphasis on building human connections.
Then, Chedy Hampson, Co-founder and CEO of TCGplayer.com, located the 10th floor of the State Tower Building (map), discussed how the company has doubled in size each year since 2013, when it was running out of Hampson's dining room. Today, TCGplayer.com is the technology leader in the collectible gaming industry – a fast growing multi-billion dollar market with over 25 million players worldwide. TCGplayer.com was recently recognized as one of the top 100 Workplaces for Women in the country by Fortune Magazine, as well as one of the Best Companies to Work for in New York State. Hampson is most proud that it was voted a great place to work by 100% of employees.
Then, guests met Mark Graydon, one of the owners of Wolff's Biergarten, which opened in a former firehouse at 106 Montgomery Street (map), just four months ago. Founded in Downtown Albany in 2009, breakfast guests learned why one of the best-branded soccer bars in the country chose to expand to Hanover Square, and how its newest location is creating a buzz throughout Downtown and beyond.
As part of this special program, all presenters were available after breakfast, so that guests were able to mingle and network in a more personal setting.
The Good Morning Downtown Syracuse Progress Breakfast was designed to celebrate the forward-thinking and progress that has fueled recent redevelopment in Downtown Syracuse. The first-ever Progress Breakfast was held in October, 2015, and highlighted three transformative projects: The Connective Corridor's charge to restore connections between the University Hill community and Downtown through the installation of public art; The Redhouse Arts Center's upcoming move to City Center re-awakening the corner of South and West Jefferson Streets; and finally, renovation progress at the Hotel Syracuse. Guests left feeling recharged and excited about Downtown's future.
"The momentum in Downtown Syracuse is contagious," said Merike Treier, executive director of the Downtown Committee. "The Progress Breakfast provides a great forum to build upon that energy. Not only do guests get the inside scoop on three ways Downtown is becoming the 24/7 neighborhood we all envision, but the true beauty of the morning comes from the valuable networking opportunities that follow the presentations. We're grateful to partner with Harris Beach, a law firm with a long history of supporting entrepreneurial efforts in our community, to present this Progress Breakfast."
"Working so closely with start-up companies and entrepreneurs is one of the best parts about my job," said Brendan Palfreyman, an associate at Harris Beach, specializing in Intellectual Property and Business and Commercial Litigation Practice Groups. "Harris Beach has helped several start-up companies in Downtown Syracuse, including tenants of the Tech Garden, through the years. It's an honor to present this breakfast and celebrate the creativity of our entrepreneurs."

St. Bernards Hospice will host its annual Christmas season event, "Moments of Remembrance," on Wednesday, Dec. 14. The event is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. at St. Bernards Auditorium, 505 East Washington, and will last about an hour and a half.
The holiday season can be a difficult time for families who have lost loved ones during the year. Sharing memories and celebrating the lives of those loved ones can help surviving family members begin to restore the joy of life. "Moments of Remembrance" gives family members a chance to do just that.
Each family is encouraged to bring a Christmas ornament in memory of their loved one, and the family or the hospice staff will attach to each ornament a tag bearing the name of the loved one. Ornaments will be placed on a Celebration Tree symbolizing the way memories of our loved ones continue to add significance and inspiration to our own lives. The Celebration Tree will remain in a place of honor throughout the holiday season and for years to come at the hospice house.
St. Bernards Hospice, established in 1989, provides holistic care of patients with life-limiting illnesses, with care provided in the patient's home or at the free-standing Flo and Phil Jones Hospice House at 1148 East Matthews Ave.

Indy International Wine Competition at Purdue July 30-Aug. 1
July 24, 2014
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Indy International Wine Competition will return to the Purdue University campus July 30-Aug. 1, with a new award recognizing an outstanding small winery in Indiana.
The event, the nation's largest scientifically organized and independent wine competition, annually receives more than 2,000 entries from 15 countries and 40 U.S. states. It also attracts wine writers, winemakers, winegrowers, enologists, chefs and sommeliers, wine distributors and retailers, and consumers.
The competition, organized for the 23rd time by the Purdue Wine Grape Team, will take place in the Purdue Memorial Union ballrooms off State Street. The public can observe the judging from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. Also open to the public for viewing is the Wine of the Year taste-off from 11 a.m. to noon on Aug. 1.
Major trophies include Wine of the Year, White Wine of the Year, Red Wine of the Year, Sparkling Wine of the Year, Rosé Wine of the Year, Dessert Wine of the Year, Winery of the Year, Winemaker of the Year and the Governor's Cup for winningest Indiana winery.
Added to that list this year is Indiana Farm Winery of the Year, an award that honors a small, up-and-coming winery. Purdue wine professor Christian Butzke, chairman and chief judge of the competition, noted that there are now more than 75 wineries in Indiana, most of them small, family businesses.
Any proceeds from the competition support graduate students in Purdue's enology lab.
"It's one way we support our wine research here at Purdue," said Butzke, an enologist. "Proceeds go toward research, which, in turn, helps the wineries make better wines. So it goes full circle."
The Purdue Wine Grape Team also will be at the Indiana State Fair, which for the first time will offer wine tastings. The fair runs Aug. 1-17 at the state fairgrounds in Indianapolis.
"That' s a reflection of how important the wine industry as part of agriculture has become in Indiana," Butzke said.
Results from the wine competition serve as a buying guide for consumers. They will be published Aug. 1 soon after the taste-off at http://www.indyinternational.org.

About WHOCC2018
The 12th Biennial Conference and Meetings of the Global Network of WHO Collaborating Centres for Nursing and Midwifery will be held in the beautiful city of Cairns, located on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef and is home to the oldest rainforest in the world. This unique location in the tropics truly is 'where the rainforest meets the reef'.
The tropics is also home to James Cook University (JCU), Queensland's second oldest university and one of the world's leading institutions focusing on the tropics. JCU is dedicated to creating a brighter future for life in the tropics world-wide, through graduates and discoveries that make a difference, and is committed to conducting nationally significant and internationally recognised research and education in areas such as marine sciences, biodiversity, tropical ecology and environments, global warming, tourism, and tropical medicine and public health care in under-served populations. The conference theme, 'Universal Health Care: SDGs are Everyone's Business', aligns with JCU's commitment to supporting and promoting the principles of the sustainable development goals and undertaking research that provide solutions to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) challenges.
Although nurses and midwives account for the largest health workforce, collaboration is key if any difference is to be made. It is impossible to create sustainable changes to health if we focus only on SDG 3 'Good Health and Well-Being'. For the people of the 144 nations and territories that are either fully or partly within the Torrid or Tropical Zone, there are increasing critical issues, such as rapid population and economic growth, rising sea levels, declining crop yields, extinction of vulnerable species, poor health outcomes including neglected tropical diseases, unacceptable levels of infant mortality and reduced life expectancy, extreme poverty, poor educational outcomes, and environmental degradation. What happens in this region will have a global impact.
The 12th Biennial Conference and Meetings of the Global Network of WHO Collaborating Centres for Nursing and Midwifery will be held from 17-19th and 17-20th July 2018, respectively, with the Conference days 1 and 2 held at the highly regarded Cairns Convention Centre, located in the Cairns CBD. Ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring all people enjoy peace and prosperity is everyone's business, so please join us and be part of the solution.
Conference Theme
The theme for WHOCC2018 is a topic close to home at JCU, which supports and promotes the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), undertaking research that provides solutions to the SDG challenges. This conference will be exploring the SDGs and what these initiatives mean to Universal Health Care.
Conference presentations should closely match one or more of the following themes:
- Midwifery and the SDGs
- Health Education and the SDGs
- Nursing Innovations and the SDGs
- Using technology to optimise Universal Coverage
More about JCU
JCU has identified the grand challenges to sustainable futures, especially for those living in the tropics, and is committed to providing shape and direction to research by aligning with these themes:
- Human well-being, e.g. from natural hazards, disasters, infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases
- Ecological resilience, e.g. biodiversity and climate change
- Resource security, including food and clean water supply
- Good governance
JCU is committed to the sustainable development agenda with the aim that by 2030 the world will be more equitable. As a catalyst for innovation and understanding, JCU is committed to research of excellence and high impact, particularly on issues of critical importance to the world's tropics. Located regionally, JCU recognises its obligation to engage with industry and government, commercialise research findings and achieve critical mass through productive research partnerships with other research organisations.

From Facebook to Ford, Hollywood to hamburgers, Beyonce to baseball, no country has more influence on global culture than the United States. With 50 states spanning 4 million square miles, and over 300-million citizens from dozens of ancestry groups, the United States has astounding cultural, political, and geographic diversity. During your program, we will explore a small corner of the country in the Golden State of California. With winding streets, rambling trolleys, rolling fog, and savory treats from Chinatown, San Francisco is a feast for the senses. The gurgling waterfalls, warm campfires, and open sky of Big Basin National Park will provide a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. Surfers, swimmers, and sand castle connoisseurs alike will enjoy the abounding beaches of Santa Cruz. Yet the heart of the program will be our time spent in the city of San Jose. Despite being often labeled as the "wealthiest country in the world," America still contains many citizens that struggle to survive. We will join up with Sacred Heart Community Services to provide food and clothing to homeless and low-income individuals and families. And of course, no visit to Northern California would be complete without a tour of its finest universities – UC Berkeley and Stanford University. Whether you seek to help an under-served community in your own country or want to take your first trip to America, an incredible adventure awaits you!

There is also much evidence to show that the largest pyramid was functioning as some sort of power station, Christopher Dunn does a great job in explaining how and why this is.
To quote Akragon:
"I would assume they would have something better to do then to watch our pathetic species destroy ourselves."
Originally posted by kako187
The connection is undeniable, in my opinion
Much has been made observation that the three pyramids on the Giza plateau appear slightly mis-aligned. They are not on a straight line. Since we marvel at the mathematical perfection of the early Egyptians, this has bothered investigators. Thus when in 1993 Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert in their bestselling book The Orion Mystery saw the three 'belt' stars of Orion as defining the ground-plan of the Giza Pyramids the theory was met with cautious enthusiasm. However, not all were convinced by the "Orion Correlation Theory" (OCT), as it became known. The alignment wasn't "perfect" but it was close enough for many Egyptologists. But not for Andrew Collins.
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker Okay, there is lots of actual scientific evidence to prove this from many different disciplines that Zawi Hawass and the rest of the archeological community are flat refusing to accept because it means they would have to rewrite history, and they also have a whole load of academic snobbery to contend with. I'll quickly name a few. I think it was Graham Hanckock who first proposed the theory of star alignment to the great ancient sites (pyramids, macchu picchu, etc). Basically the pyramids were once aligned exactly with orions belt, etc. He showed that the Sphinx was aligned directly with the constellation Leo, in the AGE of Leo at around 10,500 BCE. Although the zodiac and the names associated with it as we know it is relatively modern, the Lion imagery is very ancient. This HAS to be more than just coincedence. The head of the Sphinx is obviously a modern recarving of a previously much larger head, there is plenty of evidence to disprove the traditional Khafre head theory that Egyptologists keep sticking to. As with previous theories and pure logic (with it being a lions body and the fact many other ancient sphinx has a lions or animal head) many people think this was the head of a Lion. Weather erosion is the most important evidence. There is erosion on the sphinx that geologists have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that could only have been caused by water precipitation (ie rain erosion). The last time Egypt was a tropical area with rain was after the last ice age (up to around 10,000 BCE). It is funny that after the geologists and other scientists found this they were kicked off the site by the council of antiquities and never allowed back on. 4 years ago
Hundreds of kilometers south of the Sphinx, exist Nubia, in what is today called Sudan. Apedemek, "the lord of royal power," was a Nubian lion god, and at the Apedemek Temple at Naqa, south of Meroe, relief's show Apedmek worshiped by the royal family. The kings were always seated upon lion thrones. Temple relief's show the enemies of the king subdued by, and in some cases devoured by, lions. It has been stated that lions were kept in the Lion Temple, as living symbols of Apedemek. Interestingly, research has revealed that the worship of the ancient Egyptian lioness goddess, Sekhmet, could have been originally introduced into Egypt from Sudan. One wonders what other leonine-related mysteries exist unrevealed and unknown at the sites of the civilization of Nubia.
The lion of ancient times was also a symbol of wisdom. King Solomon was at times symbolized as a lion. In first Book of Kings (10: 19-20) Solomon's throne is described: "The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays [handrests] on either side on the place of the seat and two lions stood beside the stays. And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps there was not the like made in any kingdom." The lion was the emissary of the sun, symbolizing light, truth, regeneration, and a god of fertility.

No, they show the three of spades on a deck of "Bicycle" playing cards.
Just as true as your inanity. Please, is that the best you can do ?
You have a nerve to call me inane, however you failed miserably in every conceivable way to actually back up your insults, so pray tell me, how is my claim that of total rubbish ?? LOL...
