He prefers a mountain over a bike, but it's the Montana mountains that led U.S. Paralympic Team Member Sam Kavanagh to his bike.
"When it gets really hard and it starts to hurt a lot, I always think, 'It's been worse,'" said Sam.
Much worse. Seven years ago Sam and four of his best friends were on a backcountry ski trip. They were caught in an avalanche and it took the life of Sam's best friend.
"He was ultimately buried," said Sam. "We extracted him in eight minutes but he had suffered from a broken neck and was deceased on the spot. And then I was, when the avalanche struck, I was holding on to a large tree that shattered my leg."
His boot was completely backward and a shinbone broke through the skin. It took his friend several hours to drag Sam a half-mile to their tent, and he nearly bled to death as he couldn't get medical attention for two days.
"God told me the only choice I had to make that day was whether I was going to keep me eyes open, or whether I was going to close them," said Sam. "It was close your eyes, you die. Open your eyes, you live."
After two failed rescue attempts, a military crew went against the safety of their own team to get Sam out.
"Laying in the tent you start to reflect on Where's life go from here? But when it really became most clear was probably the day I had my leg amputated," said Sam.
Doctors said he would have multiple reconstructive surgeries, but 13 days after the accident Sam chose amputation.
"I told the doctor that today I want him to cut my leg off. But not so I could go home and get really good at video games and ponder around the house of what life I had lost, but instead so I could walk out of there and I could help others find their purpose," said Sam.
You can see he's a man of his word. There are 40 cyclists trying to qualify for just nine spots on the U.S. Paralympic Team.
"He's got a good chance. If he can put it all together next week and later on in the year and in the summer when we have our trials, he's probably going to make the team," said Paralympic Cycling Director Craig Griffin.
"I was given a story not to put on my bookshelf, but to hopefully use to encourage and motivate others," said Sam.
It's a story that reads like a bestseller.

The Museum of Larimar
The museum of larimar is the second educational entity created by AMBAR NACIONAL – ABASA – of Santo Domingo. The objective of this entity, founded and managed by Jorge Caridad and his wife Arelis de Caridad, is to organize the most important chain of privately operated educational museum in the Dominican Republic. The cornerstone of this network is the world of Amber Museum in Santo Domingo, which opened its doors to the public on September 5 1996.
Employing a simple and accessible design, this new museum displays specimens, data and scientific details concerning larimar, the blue pectolite, the world's only know deposits of which are located, as chance would have it, in the Dominican Republic.
Its colors – whites, grays, earth tones, rubies, greens, together with a panoply of azure shades (a multi-hued tonal range between sky-blue and sea-blue) – call to mind, symbolize and even reproduce the colors of the beautiful blue planet earth, that we all share as our common habitat.
In order to render a clearer understanding of this lovely, rare and spectacular mineral gem and provide a solid explanation of its mineral structure, the museum of larimar has employed varied contemporary muse graphic techniques to create tactile, visual and technologically-based exhibits.

One example of a law that pertains to keeping horses is that when one person boards and cares for another person's horse, the person who is boarding the horse has legal possession over it until the boarding bill is paid. However, horse boarding laws vary by state, according to The University of Vermont.Continue Reading
Another part of the law regarding horse boarding is that the stable owner has the right to sell the horse in order to collect the money that is owed for a persisting delinquent account. However, each state has a different procedure for how the selling of the horse is supposed to take place, says The University of Vermont.
Additionally, there are three important liens that apply to horse transactions in most states. The first one claims that veterinarians have a legal lien on a horse in treatment in order to secure the payment of the treatment bill, reports The University of Vermont. The next one states that owners of breeding stallions have a lien on the offspring and sometimes the mare in order to secure payment for the breeding services. Lastly, farriers also have a special lean on shod horses that is used to secure payment for the shoeing services.Learn more about Barnyard Mammals

Luxurious Apartment/Rynek (Wrocław)
Hi all expats and visitors:-)
I have a gorgeous, luxurious apartment to let in Rynek-newly renovated, light filled and on the first floor of a cool old historic building. Featuring beautiful large south facing windows which look down onto the vibrant Market Square/The fountain.
You can gaze down onto the square while sitting at the dining table enjoying a glass of wine and observing the locals, tourists and lovers strolling the cobbled streets.
There's a huge corner sofa on which you relax and watch TV, or plug your iPhone or laptop into our speakers play your music, chill and take an afternoon nap.
There's a huge amount of fantastic and amazingly priced restaurants at your finger tips... but if you feel like cooking at home open the windows and feel the buzz and ambience and you'll feel like you are dining on the main square. Or you can close the windows and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the apt. We've installed super sound proof windows to make sure you can hear a pin drop in the apartment.
Our apartment has one main bedroom but we have a split level main room which magically allows a full sized double bed to emerge. The couch on the higher level converts to a double bed too. None of these beds overlook each other, so you sleep open mouthed without your friends laughing at you ;-). (6 people can sleep comfortably in the apt)
The Red Apartment is one of the few in Wroclaw with Air Conditioning and a ceiling fan in the bedroom!!
If you need to keep in touch with the office we've set up a work space with a writing desk and chair in a corner so you can catch up on emails etc and when your finished close the lid and try and concentrate on Wroclaw and fun!!

I am in a methadone treatment plan and have moved from one state to another. I was taking both Lorazepam and Zolpidem at my other state and everything was OK because I had a script. The new state is different though. Will these 2 show up as dirty and how long does it take to get it out of my system and will I get sick? I am taking 1 each Zolpidem 10 Mg and Lorazepam 0.5 MG 1x s dsy only. They both really help for anziety so I can sleep. HELP!
Responses (3)
I dont know what state you are from but those drug can & will kill you with methadone. My adopted sons monther died of methadone & Loazepan... please stop..please. I still wipe tears from this 30 year old mans face and its been 9 years now. And guess what?? Oh yea ... he is now an addict.
A Doctor gave me those pills knowing I was on 140 mgs per day of methadone. Also the Recovery place (dosing Doctor) that gave me the methadone knew I was on the Lorazepam. Like I said I only take one 0.5 mg at night and one 10 mg Zolpidem at night. I would sure like to hear from a DR or some other people about this. Are you sure about this?? I don't want to take a combo that will kill me!
Honey join the drug "Addiction"... "Drug Dependence" "Opiate Dependence" support groups on this site, there is a particular individual who works as a drug dependence counselor or something in that area with a name of Robert_(something else) that is very good at answering these types of questions. He mostly helps people getting of of drugs or w/metadone issues. Try to find him..there is a way to send him a private question and he is execllent about responding but I cant remember exactly how to to that. Put the question on the fourm about how to send a private msg to someone & you will get responses I promise. I wish I more answers, I am just a sad mom of a drug addicted pregnant daughter & fiance (I consider her fiance my adopted son) who has done a lot of research and know proof positive that you have a very scary mix going on. You are on low doses of the meds at night, but mixing them with methadone is still very frightening.
Please understand that just because a doctor gave them to you even knowing you on on methadone dose not make them safe, you have to be your own advacate. Me son litteraly lost his mother on the exact dose prescribed by doctors, they checked her levels after death because pills were missing, unfortunately she did not take them... guess who did? Give up??? Yea... I am sure you know who did... and he still cries over her. Good luck sweetheart... pls join those groups and your questions will get out to more people that know more info... some doc's maybe?? mostly real people..some counselors ... very good ones... you will get some answers... Good Health & God Bless..u r n my Prayers nanc
Methadone is horrible SHIT! Been there done that and barely excaped.No good can come from it,especially when mixing with a downer
Methadone has SAVED my life!!! So if you had a bad experience with it fine! but don't put it down because of your experience with it.
Why do you say Methadone is bad shit? I have been on it for a little over 10 years due to opiate addiction. I just know if I go off the Methadone, I will go back to codein for pain. I have degenerative spine which in turn makes my neck unable to turn w/o pain and my back hurts along with terrible headaches. The Methadone certainly doesn't stop the pain but it does keep me off pain pills. Due to the cost, I would love to get off the Methadone but I tried several times and got really sick and took codein to off set the sick part, so just went back on the Methadone. The cost is sooo high but it is better than going to 3 or 4 Doctors trying to get pain meds for my pain in my spine. How do you get off of the stuff?
how bout if you only took i4 .5's in one day how long you think then?
~tarvesen, Lorazepam is a narcotic and may show up as a benzo(xanax,valium,ect). The Zolpidem is a non-narcotic and shouldn't come up as "dirty". I am on methadone myself and what you are taking with that dose you are fine!!! You are not going to die!! It's a very low dose.It can be a deadly combo mix IF the dose's were much higher.Methadone has SAVED my life, so as long as it keeps you comfortable and not seeking "harder drugs" who cares what other people say. It's your life and body.I wish you the best of luck!! :)

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Alan Kelly to contest Labour leadership
North Tipperary Junior Minister Alan Kelly is to contest one of the top jobs in the Labour Party following Eamon Gilmore's resignation.
The Nenagh-based TD told the Tipperary Star that while he had not made his mind up on whether to seek the leader's role or the deputy leader's position, "you can safely say I will be contesting one of the jobs".
However, Deputy Kelly said he had already got great support locally and from around the country, and that would have a bearing on his running for the leader's position.
"I have had so many TDs, councillors and ex-councillors on to me asking me to seek the role," he said.
Apart from the support of the grassroots in Tipperary, he said he would also expect to have great support throughout Munster, having been elected as an MEP for Ireland South before he went to the Dail in 2011. He also has many contacts in Dublin, having lived there for eight years.
He took Labour's first Euro seat in 18 years in 2009 at the first time of asking, and in 2011 took the last seat in Tipperary North, being promoted immediately by Eamon Gilmore to Junior Minister for Public and Commuter Transport and Tourism.
"Because of my job in transport, it has got me around the country to meet people," he told the Star.
The bookies have already installed Deputy Kelly as one of the favourites at 9/4.
Deputy Kelly is an admirer of local Labour stalwart Frank Lewis as well as the influencial late Jim Kemmy, and founded a UCC branch named after the former Limerick TD. Among his strengths would be his desire to wrestle power back from the Democratic Left cabal that now rules the party and return Labour to the orginal raison d'etre for its existance. This would certainly go down well with rural party members. The party marked its founding in Clonmel 100 years ago last year.
While not having come up through the traditional council route, he has experience in Europe and the senate, and is well known among Washington circles through his brother, former Tipperary Star journalist Declan, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton as one of his special envoys to the North.
His main rival is likely to be Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton, but there are those within the party who feel she has been tied to the policies of the past three years, and though popular with the grassroots, many will see her as old guard if it comes to the party seeking a "generational" change. The same could apply to Brendan Howlin, and his acceptance to Fine Gael as a leader could rankle with Labour voters who want to see a change in policy under any new leadership.
The new leadership will inevitably have to bring about a new Programme for Government, and, if that fails, a general election.
While many will not want an election, it could be argued that the party could use its time in Opposition to rebuild, much as Fianna Fail has done over the past three years. A stronger party at any subsequent general election, coupled with any electoral gains a more mainstream Sinn Fein might get, could eventually see the emergence of a Left orientated government.
Meanwhile, Deputy Kelly paid tribute to outgoing leader and Tanaiste, Mr Gilmore, saying history will "judge him well".
"He got us out of the bailout and led the party to unprecedented electoral success in 2011. He was dignified in his exit from the leader's job and that is greatly appreciated and admired," said the Junior Minister.
On a personal level, he said Mr Gilmore had asked him to contest the European elections in 2009, and had been a great support during that campaign, "and I appreciate him making me a Junior Minister".
Deputy Kelly said that in 2011, Mr Gilmore had put the country ahead of the party, and now in resigning, he was putting the party ahead of the personal.

No permanent allies
One of Steve Jobs' announcements Tuesday was for a movie rental business, in which customers can
- download a movie
- play it within 30 days
- play it as often as desired (on a PC, iPod or AppleTV) during the next 24 hours
The price is $4 ($3 for backlist), plus a $1 premium for HD content.
Obviously this requires DRM (and new iTunes software), thus bucking the DRM-free trend in music. The iTunes website also seems to have dropped all mention of Apple's experiment selling movie downloads (with only Disney cooperating fully), suggesting that Wal-Mart's retreat was no fluke.
The coverage today of the announcement made it sound like Steve Jobs had won a great victory with Hollywood after a string of defeats. For example, the Hollywood Reporter reported
Steve Jobs' eagerly anticipated Macworld keynote lived up to the hype Tuesday as the Apple co-founder, chairman and CEO announced that movies from every major studio would now be available for rental on iTunes.
During his annual speech in San Francisco, Jobs revealed that his company had reached agreements with 20th Century Fox, Disney, Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal, Sony, MGM, Lionsgate and New Line to make movies available to rent through Apple.
But I think Forbes has it closer to the truth:
Hollywood's interest in protecting lucrative DVD sales and rentals, as well as revenues from on-demand cable movies, made some studios reluctant to embrace permanent downloads at iTunes. And with DVD sales holding up much better than sales of compact discs, they had far less incentive to play ball with Jobs than the deeply troubled music industry.
Online movie rentals — that is, downloads that become unplayable after a specified period of time — will help bridge the interests of Apple, which badly wants to offer a full menu of movie downloads, and the studios, which are interested in new revenue streams that won't cannibalize existing ones.
Forbes quotes an analyst noting that, in effect, Apple is still king of the handheld playback device — a market that so far has not been penetrated by any system. Thus iTunes revenues here are incremental to existing revenues, and do not entail sharing existing revenues (which Hollywood is loathe to do) with anyone. Similarly, TV shows still are available for sale. on the iTunes store, because these are revenues the studios weren't getting before.
This time Hollywood and Apple have their interests aligned, but that's no sign that Steve will have an easier task getting cooperation next time.
As Lord Palmerston (oft-quoted by other English statesmen) said: "Nations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests." The permanent interests of movie studios are to find new growth markets, control their IP, and fight like heck to avoid being Napster-ized.

Check out the catalog for a complete list of the requirements, courses, and objectives for the Children's Ministry program!
The School of Theology and Philosophy offers annual opportunities to travel to countries significant to the Christian faith. Our most recent trips include:
- 2015 — Turkey and Greece, where students walked in the footsteps of Paul and visited the locations where many of the New Testament and early church events took place.
- 2016 — Israel and Jordan, where students walked in the footsteps of Jesus and the prophets. They saw for themselves the lands where their favorite Bible stories took place and experienced the culture and history of these important places.
- 2017 — Germany and Switzerland, where students will walk in the footsteps of Reformers like Martin Luther and see the places where Western tradition was deeply shaped.
In addition to these trips, every Children's Ministry major attends the annual Children's Pastors' Conference at least once. Several thousand children's pastors gather for 3 days of workshops, plenary sessions with renowned speakers, networking opportunities and exhibits. The experience provides exposure to top-notch leaders and ministry practitioners.
There are over 30 endowed scholarships for students in the School of Theology and Philosophy with a call to ministry. In addition, there is a Nazarene Ministerial Scholarship program in which Nazarene ministry students can participate during their four years.
MVNU's Children's Ministry grads are known for securing jobs in their field before even graduating. A Children's Ministry degree from MVNU will properly prepare you for a career as a full-time or part-time children's pastor, a daycare center worker/administrator, a member of parachurch organizations for at-risk children, and more.
Or, you can go on to get your Master of Divinity degree from Nazarene Theological Seminary (NTS) right on the MVNU campus. Through our School of Graduate and Professional Studies, NTS offers online and videoconference courses that allow students to earn their M. Div. degrees from NTS without moving to Kansas City.

Name: 1929 Dusenberg Model J Convertible
Year Produced: 1928-1937
Number Built: Approx. 480, all 1929 models combined
Class: Luxury Vehicle
Body Type: Coach built to owner's preference
Engine: S8 6883 cc | 420.0 cu in. | 6.9 L.
Power: 265hp
0-100mph: 21 seconds
Top Speed: 116 mph
Transmission: 3-speed selective, floor-mounted lever
Wheelbase: 142.5 in
Base price: US$8,500
Valued at: US$2.53 million on a public auction (Morphy Auctions)
Lest we're judged to be stereotyped against woman, allow us to explain the point of our headline.
This 1929 Duesenberg Model J convertible coupe were offered under the hammer at Morphy Auction's last October 2015 at their Premier Automobile Auction in Denver, Pennsylvania. It might be dismissed easily as another high-end auction sale, even if it is sold for a solid $2.53 million. The said '29 Duesenberg was sold unrestored, with evident convertible coupe bodywork. But there is another piece of history that this Duesy brings along with it.
The vehicle seems to have an affinity on female owners. Originally custom-built for a member of a wealthy steel-producing family, Ms. Carolyn May Hoopes, the Duesy was eventually given to the wife of Ms. Hoopes' doctor in 1950. The car was eventually sold two years later to a certain Mrs. Wilson, while a lady by the name of Katherine Hedburn bought in 1961 and was eventually added to the Paul and Katherine Hedburn collection with only 33,000 miles in the odometer even after 86 years. Perhaps the longest road trip that it ever had was from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania to Battle Creek, Michigan where its original owner was treated for tuberculosis in the early 1940s.
The car's all-women ownership history was eventually plugged when Morphy sold the '29 Duesy to a certain Florida man who bid by phone.
Founder and president of Morphy Auctions, Dan Murphy said in a news release, "There was overwhelming interest in the Duesenberg and many of the other cars, as well. We could not have asked for a better turnout here at the gallery. Holding our automobile sale at a time that coordinates with the Hershey car show is an absolute winner."
Overall, the auction produced $4,371,125 in sales (all numbers included buyer's premium.)

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had the privilege of managing a number of world class players during his 26-year reign at the club.
But, not every player that put on the shirt for the Red Devils received the credit that they deserved, with a number of high-profile names going under the radar in certain respects.
Indeed, the fact that the current Premier League champions have had so many big-name players represent the club is the reason why so many good players are often forgotten.
The names Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Peter Schmeichel role off the tongue like a who's who during the Manchester United glory years, but there a number of others who should not be forgotten.
David Moyes could certainly use a couple of these names as he looks to put his own mark on the Red Devils, although not all of them were fans' favourites during their time at the club.
And so, check out our selection of the top five most under-rated players at Manchester United in the Premier League, and let us know who you think should be included...

NEW YORK (AP) — Fifty years ago, mumps was once a childhood rite of passage of puffy cheeks and swollen jaws. That all changed with the arrival of a vaccine in the late 1960s, and mumps nearly disappeared.
But now the U.S. is in the midst of one of the largest surges in decades. Arkansas has been hardest hit, but schools and college campuses in many states have been contending with outbreaks.
Some basics about the illness and the situation:
Mumps is caused by a virus. It's contagious and spread through coughing and sneezing. Common symptoms are fever, headache, and painfully swollen salivary glands that can cause puffy cheeks. Most cases occur in children and teens who spread it at schools and dormitories.
Some people never have symptoms. In most others, it is a mild disease that people completely recover from in few weeks. Sometimes it can lead to complications: hearing loss, meningitis and swollen testicles. In rare cases, infections lead to sterility.
Before the vaccine, roughly 200,000 cases were reported each year. Then the numbers dwindled to around 200 a year. But some years, cases have jumped up. In 2006, there were nearly 6,600 cases, most of them college students in the Midwest.
Cases surged again last year, reaching 5,300 — the bulk of them in Arkansas, Iowa and Oklahoma. High numbers have continued this year, mostly in Arkansas and Missouri, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The mumps vaccine is part of routine childhood shots. U.S. health officials recommend that by age 6, all children get two doses of a combination vaccine against mumps, measles and rubella. The vaccine is highly effective when children get the shots on schedule, they say, and there has not been any new, mutated mumps strain going around to change that. Yet, most of the children who got sick recently were fully vaccinated, health officials have said.
No vaccine is perfect and it's expected that some people who get the shots will still get mumps. Also, some research suggests that 10 or more years after the second dose, immunity may fade enough to allow outbreaks to take hold. During some outbreaks, like one currently at the University of Missouri, students and others have been offered a third booster dose to increase protection and snuff out the outbreak.

Gonnelli 1585 is a trademark that represents the relationship between the Gonnelli Family and the world of traditional oil production. In 1585 the family bought the farm of Santa Téa and the related Oil Mill built in 1426. Today the company, owner of the Vertine nel Chianti Classico Oil Mill, represents one of the Italian excellences in the world of extra virgin oil. The philosophy has always been to offer a healthy, genuine and natural product and this is only possible by directly following every phase of the production: the cultivation and selection of the olives, processing at the oil...

With their aprons removed and the cooking stoves turned off, nine Venetian Chefs led by Franco Favaretto, the owner of the Baccalà Divino restaurant...
The story of the Gonnelli family dates back to 1585 when on 13th February the brothers Francesco, Lorenzo and Giulio, the sons of Taddeo di Michele di Lorenzo, bought for 300 coins from the Friars of the "Convento del Carmine di Firenze" the farm of Santa Tea, as is evident from the sales document held at the Public Notary Records office in Florence. At that time the related oil mill, built in 1426, was known and appreciated for its special oil, the result of olives made noble by the particular micro-climate of the sun-baked upland plain of Reggello, 400 meters above sea level, which is 30 minutes from Florence in a southerly direction.
Since then the Gonnelli, brothers, children and grandchildren, raised in the shadow of the oil mill of Santa Tea, monument of hard work of yesterday and today, have handed down a true art, with all the knowledge, wisdom and expertise in the cultivation of olives and their pressing. The artisan arts of olive growers, developed at the time of the medieval guilds, still preserve the techniques and secrets of the task of producing the finest oil. An art that derives from the best tradition of the oil mill, preciously preserved in the museum and from the ongoing experimentation in innovation research, both in relation to production and cultivation.

Gonnelli 1585 Olive Grove
Today Gonnelli directly oversees approximately 43,000 olive trees located between Florence and Siena. The altitude, exposure to the sun and a well-drained soil are important elements for the final quality of the oil and, as such, Gonnelli considers these elements for the selection of its plants. We are increasingly seeing the abandonment of olive groves, due to poor profit margins and the high costs of management, and which are difficult to sustain for pure hobby or passion; as a result, certain olive groves, rented by the Gonnelli farm, require major drainage activity and care and it often takes a few years before the olive grove becomes fertile.
All the olive groves of the farm are managed in accordance with the regulations in force relating to Organic Farming without the use of pesticides or fertilizers. The 43,000 olive plants, followed and cultivated by the Piero Gonnelli farm, are of different cultivars, though all typically Tuscan. Thanks to this variety and the wise decision to collect the olives at different maturation times, starting with the greenest, various types of oils are obtained that are distinguishable and differ in flavour and aromas.
Nr. Olive trees 6.597
Variety Frantoio 60% Moraiolo 30% Leccio del Corno 10%
Altitude 250/300 mt slm
Type gravelly sands, stones and gravels with clay layers
Analysis sand 40-45%, silt 30-35%, clay 10-30%
Gonnelli 1585 100% Transparency
The Identity Card of our oil.
In 2007 the Santa Tea oil mill was the first oil mill in the world to obtain the ISO 22.005:07 certification on traceability.
A further guarantee for the consumer who is able to trace the history of every bottle purchased as far as its territorial origin.
It is an important goal reached by our company, in line with our philosophy. Traceability certification represents not only the instrument to safeguard and promote our uniqueness but also the symbol of transparency and guarantee that we offer to our consumers, increasingly in need of reassurance and confidence with regard to the food products they buy. It is a kind of map of the product which makes it possible to retrace the history, from the origin of its olives until production of the oil.

Santa Téa Olive Oil Mill: the olive oil mill was built in 1426, when
Cosimo de' Medici, the grandfather of Lorenzo the Magnificent, ruled
Florence and it is still possible to see the construction date engraved
on an old stone mill, where the millstone and the press are still
preserved, once used for crushing.
The Oil Mill owes its name to the adjoining chapel dedicated to St. Tea, whose cult has spread through many parts of the early Christian world and has expanded in our area since the Byzantine-Gothic period.
Today, the Santa Téa Olive Oil Mill represents one of the most advanced realities, both from the qualitative and technological point of view in the world of extra virgin olive oil.
It can process 100 quintals of olives per hour. The maximum time interval from harvesting to crushing is 15 hours. Cold extraction takes place in the absence of oxygen and under nitrogen.
Vertine Oil Mill: this is a continuous cycle oil mill that works
exclusively with the cold process. It has a milling capacity of 24
quintals per hour. This new line of machines crushes olives in the
absence of oxygen. The oil is then exposed to air until opening of the
"Vertine Mill" Chianti Classico olive oil P.D.O. bottle by the customer.
From October crushing takes place at the "Vertine Mill".

The prerequisite for admittance to a CPRE Advanced Level module exam is a CPRE Foundation Level certificate or a certificate in Requirements Engineering from BCS.
To answer the exam questions correctly, you will need to know/master the educational objectives as defined in the syllabus of the respective Advanced Level module. Attending a classroom training course is not an essential entry criteria for the exam, but it is recommended.
You can prepare for the exam by:
The exam regulations for CPRE Advanced Level define both the content of the exam as well as the examination process.
The exam can be taken in English or German. Currently English is available for Requirements Elicitation and Consolidation and Requirements Modeling; The English exam for Requirements Management is scheduled for 2017.
The exams will be evaluated by the certification body. The result will be sent to the contact address stated on your application. The written assignment will be assessed by experienced IREB assessors.
After having passed both parts of the exam, you should receive your certificate within two weeks.
The practice examination serves the purpose of simulating an actual CPRE Advanced Level written exam. See the downloads at the bottom of this page.
If you attend a classroom training course the training provider organizes the written examination for you.
For information on public exams consult the certification bodies' websites, where you can find times and dates of upcoming exams as well as information on the application process.
For further information see certification bodies
This document lays out the IREB's conditions for the CPRE Advanced Level examination.
The practice examination contains 24 questions in the same form, structure and style as the live examination. The download also contains solutions and correction aids.
The practice examination contains 30 questions in the same form, structure and style as the live examination. The download also contains solutions and correction aids.
The practice examination contains 18 questions in the same form, structure and style as the live examination. The download also contains solutions and correction aids.
The handbook Requirements Management complements the syllabus for the Advanced Level Requirements Management.
The handbook addresses training providers who want to offer training courses for Requirements Management according to the IREB standard, as well as trainees and interested practitioners who want to get a detailed insight into the content of the Advanced Level Requirements Management.
This handbook does not replace a training course!
The handbook Requirements Modeling complements the syllabus for the Advanced Level Requirements Modeling.
The handbook addresses training providers who want to offer training courses for Requirements Modeling according to the IREB standard, as well as trainees and interested practitioners who want to get a detailed insight into the content of the Advanced Level Requirements Modeling.
This handbook does not replace a training course!
The certification body sends the result by post to the address stated by the examinee on application. If you have passed the exam, you will receive your certificate together with the result.
If you take the exam online you get your result immediately after the examination. The certificate will be delivered to you later by post. The certificate obtained via an online exam is dispatched within the same time as the results of conventional exams.
The certification bodies offer public examinations or they provide the exam after a training course. Online exams in a test center are available as well. You register for a public examination directly at the certification body. The scheduled dates for public examinations are published on their websites.
Usually the examination subsequent to a training course is organized by the training provider. They will handle the registration for you.
You can also sit for the exam at a training provider without having attended the course. Please contact the training provider in advance in order to clarify the procedure.
Before August 2016 negative points were awarded for wrongly marked questions.
This regulation was difficult to explain to the candidates and additionally - under the pressure of the exam, particularly in online exams where incomplete answered questions are highlighted - candidates tended to check answers which they were not sure about and therefore lost many points.
During IREB's regular quality assurance of the exams, simulations with several thousand exams have been run to investigate on the impact of changes to the negative marking and the percentage needed to pass.
Based on the results of these simulations, IREB modified the exam regulations in terms of
The type of examination and questions remained unchanged.
The following languages are available for the exams:
Foundation Level:
Advanced Level Requirements Elicitation and Consolidation:
Advanced Level Requirements Modeling:
Advanced Level Management
The CPRE Foundation Level certificate - or an equivalent - is the prerequisite for admission to the CPRE Advanced Level examination.
The British Computer Society (BCS) offers a variety of diplomas for professional development. Within the diploma Business Analysis there is a certificate Requirements Engineering. This certificate has a large overlap with the CPRE Foundation Level certificate. Therefore BCS and IREB have closed an agreement that candidates who have completed the BCS Certificate in Requirements Engineering will be exempt from taking the IREB CPRE Foundation level to progress to the Advanced level.
The CPRE exam can be taken immediately after the training, but this is not essential. If the participant of the course does not feel confident to take the exam immediately he or she should consult the trainer if it may be better to sit for the certification at a later stage. This would allow more time to become familiar with the topics where the participant still has gaps and thus only sitting the exam when fully prepared.
For this reason for the Advanced Level exam there is a period of 12 months after having passed the multiple choice exam for the submission of the homework (written assignment). This gives the candidate the opportunity to gather further practical experience in the chosen topic which may be incorporated in the written work.
REQB® will be integrated into IREB® and all REQB® members are welcome to become members of the IREB® organization. REQB® members may become members of the existing IREB® working groups and an International Development group, consisting of IR IREB® and REQB® members, will be established to further internationalize and grow certification in Requirements Engineering.
There will be a single RE certification scheme, presented under the IREB® brand, based on the current IREB® CPRE certification scheme. Contents from the REQB® certifications will be integrated where appropriate.
After October 1st, 2017 only IREB® CPRE certificates will be issued.
All REQB certificates keep their validity.
Our partner GASQ has provided a form where you can request the change of your REQB certificate .
Please contact GASQ at firstname.lastname@example.com for further information on the conversion of certificates.
Conversion of the REQB® Foundation Level certificate to an IREB® CPRE Foundation Level certificate is required in order to be eligible for IREB® CPRE Advanced Level certification (see above).
For the IREB® CPRE Expert Level, the REQB® Advanced Level certificate will be accepted as one of the required prerequisites.
The following REQB® certificates can be registered after conversion to the corresponding IREB certificate:
Registration without previous conversion:
All REQB® training providers may offer IREB® CPRE training courses and become official training providers of IREB®.
Existing contracts between training providers and REQB® will be fulfilled by IREB®.
Please send a mail to email@example.com
The exam in the Foundation Level is a multiple choice questionnaire. For details see the exam regulations of the Foundation Level.
The exam in the Advanced Level consists of a multiple choice questionnaire and a written assignment. For details see the exam regulations of the Advanced Level.
A rerun of the training course before repeating the exam is not necessary.
The exam can be retaken at most twice without a waiting period. If you fail the exam for the third time you may only retake it one year after the third exam date at the earliest.

PPRNet - Primary (Care) Practices Research Network
PPRNet provides practice, provider and patient-level performance reports on 62 evidence-based clinical quality measures(CQM) for diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, women's health, cancer screening, immunizations, mental health/substance abuse, respiratory disease, and medication safety. PPRNet reports also include network and national benchmarks, useful for assessing improvement opportunities.
Practice Performance Reports (Practice Level Performance Reports)
Practice Level Performance Reports are timely and logitudinal, available monthly and present graphical time trends for each CQM monthly for the past two years. They employ statistical process control methodology with clearly marked "signals", which, in combination with their two-year time frame allow practices to readily assess whether change has occurred.
Provider and Patient Level Reports (PLRs)
PLRs have several features designed to assist with population management and patient outreach. They include patient registries, which allows "one-click" identification of patients not meeting the recommendation assessed by the CQM and facilitating intervention to improve overall practice performance. They also present intra-practice comparisons between providers, supporting sharing of "Best Practices" within a practice.
Custom Reports
PPRNet provides custom reports upon request. Examples of custom reports include reports to exclude specific providers; additional clinical quality measures required by specific incentive programs, government reporting, or grant requirements; residency program needs; and customizations based on unique practice data. Costs for custom reports are determined by the extent of customization required. Contact us regarding customization requests at email@example.com.

Small-scale farmers can double food production within ten years in critical regions through the use of ecological methods, according to a new report from the United Nations.
The report, "Agroecology and the right to food", was presented earlier this month by the Special Rapporteur before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
The study recommends a fundamental shift towards agroecology in order to boost food production and improve the situation of the poorest.
"To feed 9bn people in 2050, we urgently need to adopt the most efficient farming techniques available," said Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food and author of the report. "Today's scientific evidence demonstrates that agroecological methods outperform the use of chemical fertilisers in boosting food production where the hungry live – especially in unfavorable environments."
Agroecology is preferable to conventional farming, the report explained, as it enhances soil productivity and protects crops against pests by relying on the natural environment, including beneficial trees, plants, animals and insects.
"Conventional farming relies on expensive inputs, fuels climate change and is not resilient to climatic shocks," said Mr De Schutter. "It simply is not the best choice anymore today. A large segment of the scientific community now acknowledges the positive impacts of agroecology on food production, poverty alleviation and climate change mitigation – and this this is what is needed in a world of limited resources.
"We won't solve hunger and stop climate change with industrial farming on large plantations. The solution lies in supporting small-scale farmers' knowledge and experimentation, and in raising incomes of smallholders so as to contribute to rural development."

He sleeps on the rocks,
and collects the gold from sun,
he sleeps on the sand,
and collects the silver from moon.
He sits under a hut,
and gathers the diamonds from rain,
he sits within an attic,
and paints the colourlessness of breeze.
The sparks of chimera flows in his mind.
The plethora of ink flows in his blood.
He traps the serendipity,
in the cages of exemptions.
He hums the melancholy,
in the farms of seclusions.
He sits in the backyard,
and writes the dryness of tears.
He sits in the courtyard,
and scribbles the "this that" for years.
He is filthy with the dust of pasts,
he is filthy with the rust of pasts.
He is a filthy man.
He is an artist.

Our research integrates mechanistic models of biological processes with population-genetic models to understand the forces shaping genome architecture. The research program is focused on four areas of biology:
1. Evolution of codon usage bias and protein translation – By building detailed biophysical models of protein translation, we seek to explain the mechanistic bases of protein production in a cell as well as the factors that drive the evolution of biased codon usage.
2. Epistasis in protein evolution – By combining models of protein stability with a population-genetic framework, we seek to explain how mutations individually and collectively influence protein evolution.
3. Evolution of mutation rates – By building biophysical models of DNA structures and their interactions with DNA-binding proteins, we work to understand what sets mutation rates and biases.
4. Phylogenetics – We work to identify regions of diversification rate variation, and to integrate models of selection on codon usage into phylogenetic methods.

Lloyd Simmonds, Creative Director of Makeup at YSL Beauty says: "Colour correction is very much a pro trick, one which has been readily used in theatre since makeup began. It helps to create a three-dimensional effect on the skin, eliminating certain things and embracing others." If you're new to the concept then you need to select the shade that sits directly opposite the tone you seek to correct; this ensures balance and counteracts any tones you'd rather see the back of. Like the traditional highlighting Touche Eclat, these three pens provide a lightweight liquid that's easy to apply and blends beautifully without caking. You need just a click or two for the whole face (depending on where your issues lay,) so there's no chance of overloading if you just apply a click at a time. All three dry to leave a subtle colour result that's matte and covering, without feeling heavy, but which of the three should you be reaching for?
No1 Abricot Bisque helps to infuse a sense of warmth to the complexion; apply it in the same places you'd apply a bronzer (cheekbones, centre of the forehead and underside of the jaw) for a little boost. Alternatively, No2 Vert Green is ideal for blanketing over areas of redness or blemishes, particularly around the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead; for a more natural and perfectly blended result, apply it before foundation rather than after. Finally, No3 Violet tricks the eye into making the complexion look brighter, so it's perfectly designed to cancel our any sallow yellow tones under the eyes; add a little to the inner corners of eyes and under the brows to brighten and perfect - it's great on days when you feel like you really needed that extra hour in bed.
Although these won't be part of everyone's daily routine, they do provide a fabulous (and rather beautiful) addition to any makeup collection; it's good to know the support is there when you need it - plus on a superficial level, the slim pens don't take up any additional room within your inevitably already jam-packed makeup storage. Most other colour correctors are chunky or come in huge palettes, but YSL have perfectly evolved their Touche Eclat line to create something I'm crazy for. They may be a little expensive, but with a brand like YSL you know it's an investment you'll benefit from in the weeks and months to come.
The three new YSL Touche Eclat 'Neutralizer' Colour Correctors are available now, priced £25.00 each.

The weather ahead this week
An upper trof will remain anchored along the west coast this week with a dry SW flow aloft. For the most part this will be a rainless week with only a slight chance Friday afternoon and night….High Temps will average near normal for August with highs in the mid to upper 70s then cool to the lower 70s by next weekend….Expect Nighttime lows mostly in the 40s this week. Afternoon and evening Zephyr winds will blow up to 30 MPH this week.
El Nino:
Some folks have expressed concern about the CFS V2 with a drop in the index as of Late. Have no fear of that. The Kelvin Wave normally goes through a process of weakening and strengthen over time. We had a weakening of the index back in early July and then a strengthening… the same is going on now. Looking at the wave structure, the Index will reflect strengthening a bit later this month. A lot of down welling has occurred in the more west portion of the thermocline and that will ripple east and will eventually recharge the Nino basin. Looking at the SOI this morning it is a very strong -38. So "La Machine" is working well! And…..The Walker Pump is quite weak…

Why do so few, if any, car manufacturers care about Sexy? Have a look around. Which modern cars make your pant area tingle? Almost none. Maybe the Aston Martin Vantage, and that's about it.
Think back to the the 1967 Toyota 2000 GT. Yes, Toyota. And what do they make now? The Yaris, the Verso and the Vasectomy.
These days we're getting modern, angry designs. Sure, a Ferrari F430 looks menacing, but since when was anyone attracted to aggression? The new Porsche Panamera looks like Kirstie Allie before the gastric bypass; the R8 looks like an overdesigned German toaster and the new BMW Z4 is nice, but ultimately dull and forgettable.
Sure, All of these cars are desirable, attractive vehicles, styled and built well. But sexy? Not a chance. I understand that design is a reflection of the society that surrounds it; cars from the '60s are generally much sexier than say, cars from the '80s. I suppose the scariest thing then is, what does car design say about the 2000s?

About Me
- Paul Tooley
- Drawing and painting have been serious interests of mine since childhood when I was mentored by Scarsdale, NY Artist James N. Rosenberg. In the last 17 years I have pursued watercolor seriously and continue to find it the most intriguing, challenging, frustrating, and beautiful medium I have worked with. After much study and painting, I continue to strive to find my own voice in watercolor. In the Fall of 2012 and 2013 I taught a watercolor class 'Expressive Watercolor' at the Griffin Art Center in Frederick MD and plan to offer it again in Fall of 2014.

Wolverine Access Subject listing for HJCS
Winter Academic Term '02 Time Schedule for Hebrew and Jewish Cultural Studies.
What's New This Week in Hebrew and Jewish Cultural Studies.
Prerequisites & Distribution: HJCS 101. (5). (LR).
Credits: (5).
Course Homepage: No homepage submitted.
Continuation of the development of basic communication skills of reading, writing, and speaking modern standard Hebrew. Class drills, class discussions in Hebrew, language laboratory drills.
Prerequisites & Distribution: HJCS 201. (5). (LR).
The focus of instruction will be on the four language skills with a continued emphasis on oral work and writing. In addition to continued study of morphology and syntax, some readings selections in fiction and non-fiction prose will be introduced.
Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (HU).
Credits: (4; 3 in the half-term).
A study of the Holocaust as a historical event and its impact on Jewish thought and culture. We first survey the historical context: the European
Jewish community on the eve of the destruction, and the events leading up
to and culminating in that destruction. We then will focus on inner
Jewish (and gentile) reactions to the Holocaust, and broader philosophical
and ethical implications. We ask: What are the problems (moral, emotional, conceptual) in reading and writing about the Holocaust? What
are its implications for those of us who come "after"? The course is also
a meditation on visions of the Other, on ethnic-religious hatred, tolerance, and healing. Course materials include memoirs, poetry, fiction, psychological literature, as well as conversations with survivors.
Take-home midterm; final exam; 5-8 page paper; journal.
Prerequisites & Distribution: HJCS 301. (3). (Excl).
Credits: (3).
This course is a continuation of the Hebrew sequence comprising the second term of the third-year Hebrew class. (Participation in Hebrew 301 offered in the previous term is not required if the student is at the advanced level.) The focus will be on developing proficiency in all five languages skills. Student participation is an essential part of the course. Readings will include short works of fiction as well as journalistic pieces. This will be supplemented by other media including music, video, recordings, readings, etc. Students' grades will be determined on the basis of assignments, participation (including in-class presentations), and a final exam.
Prerequisites & Distribution: Permission of instructor. (1-3). (Excl). (INDEPENDENT). May be repeated for a total of six credits.
Credits: (1-3).
Designed for individual students who have an interest in a specific topic (usually that has stemmed from a previous course). An individual instructor must agree to direct such a reading, and the requirements are specified when approval is granted.
Prerequisites & Distribution: HJCS 302. (3). (Excl).
No Description Provided.
Check Times, Location, and Availability
Prerequisites & Distribution: (3). (Excl). May be repeated for a total of six credits.
Looking at a variety of visual representations of the land, the people, the creation of modern nationality, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the
course will try to expose the ruptures, gaps, and contradictions detectable in photography, movies, and a variety of visual symbols which try to veil the conflicts the creation of such modern nationality in the Middle East carries with it.
Focusing mainly on Israeli cinema, and using postcolonial, feminist, and visual culture theories, the reading of both themes and visual composition provides an alternative outlook on the visual component of the creation of nationality at large, and the conflictual visual portrayal of the modern Zionist nationality in particular.
Prerequisites & Distribution: Permission of instructor. (1-6). (Excl). (INDEPENDENT).
Credits: (1-6).
The Senior Honors thesis is for students who have been approved by the Near Eastern Studies concentration advisor, Honors advisor, and the LS&A Honors Council. The length of the thesis may vary, but 50-60 pages is common. Two advisors should be chosen. The principal advisor is a member of the faculty in whose field of expertise the thesis topic lies, and he or she oversees the student's research and the direction taken by the thesis.
Prerequisites & Distribution: (3). (Excl). May be repeated for a total of 9 credits.
This seminar explores several key examples of Jewish spiritual questing and renewal in the 20th century. Among the sources to be explored are Martin Buber and his theology of the holiness of relationship (pan-sacramental urge) and the intentional community around Kalonymous Kalman Shapira, the rebbe of the Warsaw ghetto, who developed a mystical fellowship and practice of soul-quieting/silence that bears interesting parallels to Vipassana meditation. The bulk of the course will be devoted to works (texts, memoirs, theology, devotional music) emerging from the so-called "Jewish renewal movement," which seeks sources as diverse as feminism, deep ecology, East Asian contemplative traditions, and "the politics of meaning." Authors to read include Arthur Green, Arthur Waskow, Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, Judith Plaskow, Tirzah Firestone, Sylvia Boorstein, and Rodger Kamenetz.
(These latter figures explore the growing contemporary interchange between certain Buddhist and Jewish practices). We ask: how do these experiments alter/depart from/up-end/deepen traditional Jewish practices and spiritual direction? In so doing we raise questions regarding the multi-form shape and volatile nature of "Judaism" at the turn of the 21st century. As a final counterpart (or exclamation point), we will explore examples of engaged Orthodox renewal, and the spiritual skepticism and quest of Leon Wieseltier.
The course is conducted as a seminar, with a good deal of give-and-take. It calls for both intellectual rigor and engagement: to understand Judaism not only as "argument" but as "deep song." Occasional film, music, and examples of contemplative practice will deepen our inquire. Background in Judaic Studies or the study of Religion (including contemplative practice) will deepen our inquiry. Short essays, term paper.

Draft Moore: Decision Time
The Alabama Supremes say they don't want him back. How about a new job?
The Supreme Court of Alabama today ruled against its former chief justice, Roy Moore. Moore had filed a legal challenge to his firing after he refused to comply with a federal court injunction that required him to remove from the rotunda of the Alabama Judicial Building a monument to the Ten Commandments. Moore, of course, does not recognize the legitimacy of this ruling, any more than he recognized the legitimacy of any previous court rulings in this case. "The people of Alabama have a right to acknowledge God and no judge or group of judges has the right to take it from them," Moore said in a written statement.
Chatterbox's interest in this case is focused like a laser on one question: Will Moore now run for president on a third-party ticket? As Chatterbox has noted repeatedly, the Constitution Party is keen to make Moore its standard-bearer. If Moore runs for president, as he's suggested he might do, Moore has the potential to siphon so many Christian right votes from President George W. Bush as to throw the general election to the presumptive Democratic nominee, John Kerry. Moore, in other words, has the potential to become the Ralph Nader of the right.
According to Moore's spokeswoman, Jessica Atteberry, Moore isn't going to make any plans until he figures out how to respond to the Alabama ruling. Moore's lead attorney, Phillip Jauregui, told Chatterbox, "We have two options to consider." One is to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. The other is to ask for a rehearing before the Alabama Supreme Court. It seems pretty clear to Chatterbox that both options would be a supreme waste of time, in view of three facts:
- The Alabama Supreme Court has already spoken;
- The U.S. Supreme Court already denied Moore's petition for a writ of certiorari asking that he be allowed to keep his Decalogue sculpture;
- Jauregui has already thrown his hat into a congressional primary race that will surely occupy all of his time between now and June 1 (and, if he wins, until the November general election).
Jauregui disputes this last point. "This is the type of law that I love to practice," he said. But let's get real. Wouldn't running for president be a much better use of Moore's time?
"All I can say is what he's said," Jauregui answered, "and that is that he's been trying to get his job back ."
