Our thesis is that an unintentional familiarity bias in the venture capital industry creates opportunities for investors willing to back female founders.
the fact is...
Women-led businesses have been largely overlooked by the investment community.
Proportion of US Venture Capital Invested in Women-led Startups
Venture capitalists invested $58.2 billion in companies with all-male founders in 2016. Meanwhile, women received just $1.46 billion in VC money last year, according to data from M&A, private equity, and venture capital database PitchBook. That massive disparity is due both to the differences in the number of deals and the average deal size by gender.
Women-led companies made up 4.94% of all VC deals in 2016—the highest percentage in the past decade. While still a paltry number, it is a noticeable improvement from 10 years ago, when female founders were involved in just 2.95% of deals.

Perpetual Cycle

Merian Interventions
Merian Ventures carefully cultivates relationships with mission-aligned investors who realize the economic opportunity provided by investing in female entrepreneurs.
By right-sizing our fund, Merian is able to write small enough checks to support startups through their earliest stages, while having a large enough fund size to remain competitive with mainstream VC funds, maintain our pro rata, and go the distance with our growing portfolio companies.
Merian funds diverse teams, which outperform homogeneous startups.
Armed with the knowledge that companies with women on their boards of directors perform better, we bring qualified, vetted, experienced female board members to the table.

Classic Days Schloss Dyck 2014.
Rhineland charm à la Goodwood.
It is a hot Sunday afternoon, and across the broad expanse of lawn in front of the orangery of the castle a young woman in a pastel-coloured dress is pushing a vintage pram past lovingly polished classic cars. There is a mixture of engine oil and French fries in the air. Anyone who thinks this is the backdrop to a film set is mistaken. For what is on offer for the visitors on this first weekend in August in the grounds of the Rhineland Schloss Dyck are the 9th Classic Days – the German equivalent of the British Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Classic Days have become popular with car enthusiasts and collectors from all over Europe. Brand variety is the name of the game on the miscanthus field which is more than 1.3 kilometres long:
Visitors and classic car clubs are presenting their treasures here and creating one of the finest and largest temporary open-air museums in the world. Everywhere in the extensive grounds around the moated castle there are themed islands such as the classic cars exhibited as 'Jewels in the Park'.
120 years of Mercedes-Benz motorsport history.
On the occasion of the anniversary year 2014 Mercedes-Benz Classic is displaying a thrilling chapter in its 120-year motorsport history with each of the unique, original vehicles. On show at the Concours d'Élégance is the W 25 from 1934 which founded the era of the Silver Arrows when, because of its weight, the white paint which had been the norm up until then was sanded off one day before its racing debut on the Nürburgring. In its direct vicinity the W 196 R is on display. This is the model which dominated racing in 1954 and 1955 with the historic double world championship win by the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio. At the "Lovely Heroes" themed island, meanwhile, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class can be admired. Here it is represented by a W 187.
Racing greats in classics from motorsport history.
In keeping with the motto of the Classic Days 2014, "Where the stars drive the cars", some of the classics from the history of Mercedes-Benz are being piloted by famous racing greats on the circular route extending over nearly three kilometres. Ellen Lohr, Hans Herrmann and Klaus Ludwig are on the spot demonstrating selected cars in motion to the spectators. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SLS (W 198), for instance, which won the American sports car championship in category D under Paul O'Shea in 1957. There is also the Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3-16 model series 201 Nardó record car and the futuristic C 111 research vehicle with a V8 engine. Roland Asch even finds the Classic Days "nicer than in Goodwood at the Festival of Speed, because it is more informal and homely here".
Unique collector vehicles, one-off models and prototypes from all over the world plus motorsport legends presenting classics – all this prompts us to look forward with anticipation to 2015, when the Classic Days at Schloss Dyck will be inviting visitors to their tenth anniversary celebrations.

As the tuition bills begin to arrive and you realize just how much school is going to cost, you may have a lot of questions running through your mind. You're probably wondering how you and your parents will come up with the basics, not to mention the extras: Will I be able to go out to eat anymore? How will I pay for gas? Will I have to wait four years to buy any new clothes?
It's easy to let yourself get caught up in all the "what ifs," especially when they involve such a big price tag. But as you've probably learned from experience, this kind of thinking rarely gets you very far. It typically makes matters worse. So how can you put a stop to all these worries? Well, for starters, try reminding yourself of this promise: "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19).
Maybe it would help for you to keep in mind that God is highly attuned to your needs. Didn't he create you? He knows you inside and out (see Psalm 139)—even better than you know yourself. What's more, he made the whole universe. If anyone can take care of you, he can!
Another thing to remember is that God won't do a half-way job in his care for you. Paul says God will take care of your needs "according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Wow! you might be thinking. Maybe that means I'll get that new car after all. Uhhh, not so fast. This is probably a good place to define "needs."
Have you ever gone to your mom or dad and told them how much you needed a new pair of jeans, when in reality you had six or seven pairs in the bottom of your closet that you just didn't like anymore? That's how we tend to be about a lot of things in life. But thankfully, God, just like a loving parent, doesn't allow us to have everything we think we need. He protects us from things that could possibly harm us and blesses us with gifts that will make us better people.
One incredible gift that comes from God's "glorious riches" is his grace. Here's what 2 Corinthians 9:8 says: "God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." God's grace that comes through belief in Christ is the richest treasure any of us can ever know. And through that grace, God promises to give us what we need to accomplish the work he gives us to do.
In a matter of months your "work" will be that of a college student. You may find yourself overwhelmed—not only by your finances but by the demands of studying and the ache of homesickness. But there's no reason to fear. Your heavenly Father knows your needs, and you can trust that he will meet them.
I would like to request information from the following school(s):

People learn in different ways, but most of us usually use a single style or method more often than another. Knowing your preferred method of learning may help you with your studying techniques.
Find out how you learn best - take the Multiple Intelligences Quiz.
The 3 primary methods of learning
1. Visual
If you're a visual learner, you learn best by seeing. You prefer to read material, watch videos, observe demonstrations and use computers. You probably use note-taking techniques as a study aid.
2. Auditory
If you're an auditory learner, you learn best by hearing. You prefer to learn through lecture and discussion. Your study aids are probably audio recordings and talking out loud.
3. Kinesthetic
If you're a kinesthetic learner, you learn best by doing. You prefer to learn through hands-on activities and trial and error. Your study aids are probably games, flash cards and practice techniques.
What is your learning preference?
Put a check mark beside the statements that best apply to you.
- I like reading books with pictures and graphs better than books without illustrations.
- I notice details, errors, scruffy shoes and missing buttons on clothes.
- I would rather read than be read to.
- I doodle or draw with some detail.
- I like seeing how a task is done before trying it.
- I have difficulty following verbal directions.
- I prefer classes in which teachers use visual aids like videos, smartboards, projectors and virtual reality.
- I rarely participate in class discussions.
- When someone gives me a complicated problem, I prefer to see it on paper rather than hear about it.
- When trying to remember where I left something, I visualize where I last placed it.
- When learning something, I like to sit back, listen and absorb what is being said.
- I would rather learn about the news by listening to the radio than by reading about it.
- I learn best when I can discuss my ideas with others.
- I have difficulty with spelling.
- I require an explanation to understand charts, graphs or maps.
- In order to learn material, I talk in my head or say it out loud.
- When learning something new, I would rather listen to an audio recording of the material than read about it.
- I like to talk about what needs to be done before actually doing it.
- Listening to music is one of my favourite pastimes.
- I am a good verbal communicator.
- Learning has more meaning for me when I get a chance to try out what I've learned.
- The activities I remember best are ones in which I have participated.
- I prefer classes in which I am actively doing something.
- I like to write on blackboards, whiteboards or flip charts.
- I take a lot of notes during lectures.
- I would rather participate in an activity than watch others do it.
- I feel confined in a classroom.
- I tend to be clumsy or fidgety.
- I like to set up equipment—like hooking up a computer to a projector or hooking up a stereo.
- I rub my hands along the railing while in the lunch line or walking down hallways.
Add up the number of check marks under each style. Your preferred learning method will most likely be the one with the most statements checked off.
Once you know your learning style, you can focus your study habits accordingly.

The class trials have dinged with Battle for Azeroth and we now get to try out level 110 characters before choosing what class to play! Blizzard have put together an intro for trials, including a video detailing the process, from the tutorial, to the Battle for Lordaeron, getting the Heart of Azeroth neck and playing the Horde or Alliance intros for the expansion! That's a lot of content to test your class in so it should be easier than ever to decide just what to play!
And, after you're done with the trials and have deiced what your class is, you can always head on over to our class and leveling guides to further learn how to optimize your spec!
Class Trials (source)
With the launch of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, we've updated Class Trials for level-110 characters. Now you can try a class in the expansion before you boost!
On the character-creation screen, players who have the World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth expansion can now create and play a level-110 "Class Trial" character with a preset class specialization. You'll take this character through a tutorial experience and get a chance to play through the Siege of Lordaeron event, gain your new Artifact neck piece—the Heart of Azeroth—from Speaker Magni, and experience the introductions to Kul Tiras for Alliance characters or Zandalar for Horde characters. After that, if you'd like to play the class further, just apply a level-110 character boost to continue your adventure.
Getting Started
Whether you're Horde or Alliance, you'll begin your new adventure on a gunship high above Seething Shore. Your new trainer will guide you along the way as you become familiar with your new class, providing you with opportunities to practice against several enemies.
Basic Training
Once the experience has been completed—or at any time during the Class Trial—simply apply a level-110 character boost* to continue your journey in Battle for Azeroth. If you're undecided, you can also keep the character around and apply a boost later, or delete it if you want to make room to try another class. Please note that if a character completes the Class Trial experience but is not boosted, it will be locked and unavailable for play until a boost is applied.
While there is a limit on the time you'll have to play through the Class Trial, you can log out of the character and continue the experience later with the time you had remaining. You'll also be able to try multiple classes, and won't be locked into only one Class Trial.
Whether you're already one of Azeroth's protectors, returning for the new expansion, or a new player joining friends, the Class Trial experience provides an opportunity for Battle for Azeroth players to find the character that's right for them.
What are you waiting for? Take the plunge into the latest adventures in Azeroth!
*One level-110 boost is included with Battle for Azeroth, and additional character boosts can be purchased in the Shop.

Blizzard will buff Arms' Mastery: Deep Wounds soon. Check out the details!
The value of Mastery for Arms Warriors is low right now and Blizzard plans to make it more compelling by increasing how much Mastery affects Deep Wounds' damage and decreasing the damage of other non-Deep Wounds abilities.
@Archimtiros provided us with an Arms DPS scaling plot, which depicts how bad Mastery is for the specialization right now. 1 point of Mastery currently increases your DPS by 0.20.
Blizzard (Source)
Greetings, Warriors of Azeroth! We're working on some significant tuning for Mastery: Deep Wounds. As has been pointed out here on the forums and elsewhere, the value of Mastery is particularly low for Arms. Although we are still working out the exact numbers, you can expect the following changes, intended to make Mastery a competitive combat rating:
A large increase to how much Mastery affects Deep Wounds' damage. A decrease to the damage of Arms' other (non-Deep Wounds) abilities. Increasing the effectiveness of Mastery necessitates that we offset it with reductions to other abilities, to keep Arms' total damage about the same – this change is aimed at making sure Mastery is useful, not to be an overall buff to the spec. With an average amount of Mastery, Deep Wounds is going to be much stronger after these changes. Note that the impact of these changes will differ slightly per-character, based on how much Mastery rating they have.
We will, of course, keep an eye on Arms' performance and continue to make adjustments as necessary. With the first raid of Battle for Azeroth opening on September 4, we expect to make further pre-raid adjustments to this and other specs as usual over the next three weeks. Thanks for your ongoing passion and feedback. See you on the battlefield!

Collector's Edition from local retailers also comes with two novellas and you can read excerpts here. Character slots will be increased to 18 per server. Inactive accounts have been upgraded to Warlords of Draenor.

Allied Races
Highmountain Tauren, Lightforged Draenei, Nightborne and Void Elves are four Allied Races that can be unlocked before Battle for Azeroth goes live. Pre-purchasing the expansion won't unlock them though. They're gated behind Exalted reputation standing with Legion factions and achievements.
If you boost an Allied Race character to level 110, you won't be able to receive Heritage Armor.
Allied Races Unlock Requirements
Allied Race Requirements Highmountain Tauren Ain't No Mountain High Enough + Exalted with Highmountain Tribe Lightforged Draenei You Are Now Prepared! + Exalted with Army of the Light Nightborne Insurrection + Exalted with the Nightfallen Void Elf You Are Now Prepared! + Exalted with Argussian Reach Allied Races in Battle for Azeroth
Four Allied Races have been confirmed in Battle for Azeroth so far. The Alliance will be able to unlock Dark Iron Dwarves and Kul Tirans, whereas the Horde can convince Mag'har Orcs and Zandalari Trolls to join the faction. The aforementioned Allied Races will be gated behind Battle for Azeroth content and can't be unlocked before launch. We learned that Dark Iron Dwarves and Mag'har Orcs will be available first and both Allied Races are now available for playtesting on Beta and in order to unlock them, you must finish your faction's War Campaign in Battle for Azeroth. Blizzard confirmed that Blood Trolls will not be an Allied Race in the coming expansion.

Here's Blizzard's roundup of the latest story developments in Battle for Azeroth covering Jaina's epic arrival at Lordaeron up to the new zone intros. This article contains spoilers!
The official preview covers the Alliance attack on Lordaeron, Anduin confronting Sylvanas, Jaina's journey to Kul Tiras, and reunion with her mother Katherine.
In the Horde intro to Zandalar, Talanji's ship is attacked by an Alliance fleet. She prays to Rezan for aid and the mighty Loa of Kings helps them reach Zandalar just in the nick of time.
If you haven't been following the recent influx of cinematics, check out this article to see Jaina's visions, Bwonsamdi's deal with King Rastakhan, and the Zandalar Forever cinematic. The Alliance finale available to players that have finished Kul Tourist can be found here.
Blizzard (Source)
SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Turn back now if you have yet to play through the Siege of Lordaeron or journey to Kul Tiras or Zandalar.
The Battle for Azeroth has begun, and for those interested in the latest story developments, we've curated the in-game cinematics from the Siege of Lordaeron event through the first arrival of the Horde in Zandalar and Alliance in Kul Tiras.
After the tragic events in Darnassus, the Alliance rallied their troops to descend upon Lordaeron. Their mission: take Sylvanas Windrunner, warchief of the Horde, to task for the innocent lives claimed in Teldrassil.
Overwhelmed by the relentlessness of the Horde, all seems lost—until Jaina Proudmoore arrives to help turn the tide.
A confrontation between the leadership of the Alliance and the Horde was inevitable, and history is once again made in the throne room of Lordaeron. Witness the events from the viewpoint of the Alliance and the Horde.
Not all reunions lead to a warm receptions and loving embraces. Some rifts are not easily overcome—and for Jaina Proudmoore and the Alliance, the journey to Kul Tiras will prove to be a test of resolve.
Having escaped from the Stormwind Stockade, Princess Talanji and her new Horde companions must outrun the Alliance ships closely in pursuit if they want to arrive safely in Zandalar. She just needs a little help from the loa Rezan.

When a customer contacts a company, they seek something rather simple, satisfaction. Whether it's via social media, chat, self-service or the telephone, omni-channel customer engagement is mission critical in today's society and customers expect an exceptional service. Innovation has created an environment where providing omni-channel customer support is quickly becoming status quo.
This week, The Ventana Research Technology Awards were announced, with Aspect taking home the award for Customer Excellence for Aspect Via. Via tightly integrates customer engagement functions, which translates to improved capabilities.
"It is an honor to receive the Ventana Innovation Award for Aspect Via. Our development teams have created a true customer engagement center that seamlessly delivers native interaction management, workforce optimization, IVR and digital self-service capabilities through a persona-based user experience," said Jim Freeze, SVP and chief marketing officer, Aspect.
Aspect is no stranger to the cloud, embracing this burgeoning technology for some time now. As a result, the omni-channel customer engagement provider has gained great expertise in the space and is no stranger to its innovation earning accolades. Aspect offers a robust suite of tools for the cloud contact center and beyond that equips management and agents with the ability to compete today's cutthroat, customer service environment.
"Customer experience and the need to provide omni-channel engagement are on many companies' agendas, but in our benchmark research into next-generation contact center in the cloud, fewer than half (48 percent) of companies said they provide such experiences," said Richard Snow, VP & Research Director, Ventana Research. "Aspect Via is one of the few suites that connect all these component parts, so I recommend that organizations seeking to improve agent and customer experiences look to Aspect Via to help those efforts."
While Aspect Software is not the only player in the space, it has certainly differentiated from the pack by pushing the edge of capability, and providing a foundation for a firm to build great success – one customer at a time.

The Secret About Criminal Lawyers
Criminal lawyers are the ones who specialize in dealing with cases involving individuals or organizations with criminal allegations with their name. The main objective of the best criminal lawyers is usually to help their clients form such a strategic legal defense so that there is no scope of losing the case. Regardless of the criminal offences you were charged with, hiring the very best criminal lawyers of the city will definitely repay for the good of the respective client.
Significance of criminal lawyers
Dui lawyers are always ready to help their clients in case they are charged with any kind of criminal offence. Since they are experts inside their field of knowledge, they can provide high quality plan to clients who need them. You'll find 24 hour criminal law firms that suggest best lawyers to the people, as per their needs.
The criminal defense lawyers study the case presented to them thoroughly to see any loopholes inside their favor. Then they utilize these strong points and form a fantastic argument to be presented in the courtroom at the time of hearing. Using experience and skill, they're able to help people arrested for criminal offence to win the situation in court.
How to get good criminal lawyers
You shouldn't have that all lawyers you contact are really good in their field. To engage the services of the top lawyers from the city or the country, you must conduct a detailed research on the performance history of 24 hour criminal law firms. These criminal attorneys must have the top notch lawyers who will be highly experienced and so are dedicated in their field at work and whose definitive goal is to satisfy their potential customers better than any other criminal lawyer.
Providing the best criminal defense service does not mean topping criminal lawyers should charge higher than normal rates for their services. Besides delivering top quality service to clients involved in criminal offences, these talented lawyers must see that they do not put a financial burden on his or her clients.
All lawyers must also try to explain the legal issues of the case on their clients and not attempt to fool them. It is crucial that people understand how their lawyer is fighting for that case so that they can provide necessary help whenever required. Communication must be rock solid and useful to both lawyer as well as client. Expertise is key to look out for, while getting a lawyer.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater return to the UK for the first time in six years!
Founded in 1958, the company is recognised by the U.S. Congress as a vital American 'Cultural Ambassador to the World.' Under the leadership of Artistic Director Robert Battle, Ailey's performances celebrate the human spirit through the African-American cultural experience and the American modern dance tradition. In almost six decades, Ailey's artists have performed for over 25 million people in 71 countries on six continents and continue to wow audiences and critics around the world.
Commenting about the Company's return to the UK, Ailey's Artistic Director Robert Battle said: 'I'm proud to continue Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's legacy of extensive international tours with my inaugural visit leading the Company's extraordinary dancers through the United Kingdom. Presented by Dance Consortium six years after they so successfully last welcomed Ailey, we'll share a diverse repertory of works including several UK premieres. I'm excited for audiences old and new to experience the uplifting performances that have inspired people the world over, fulfilling Mr. Ailey's belief that 'Dance came from the people and should always be delivered back to the people.'
The programme will include works by some of today's most acclaimed choreographers: the UK premiere of the uplifting Exodus by hip hop choreographer Rennie Harris; and the company UK premiere of the dreamlike duet After the Rain Pas de Deux by Christopher Wheeldon.
Two Ailey Classics will be performed during the evening: Night Creature by Alvin Ailey is set to sparkling music by Duke Ellington; and drawing the evening to a close will be Revelations by Alvin Ailey. The beloved crowd-pleaser, the most widely-seen modern dance work in the world, will be performed by the incomparable Ailey dancers. Revelations premiered in 1960 and continues to bring audiences all around the world to their feet.
The Ailey BRADFORD 2016 programme, which is subject to alteration, will be as follows:
Exodus / Night Creature / After the Rain Pas de Deux / Revelations
UK Premiere
Exodus (2015) Choreography by Rennie Harris / Music: Original compositions by Raphael Xavier, 'A New Deal' by Ost & Kjex. Acclaimed hip-hop choreographer Rennie (Lorenzo) Harris created a work that explores the idea of 'exodus' – from one's ignorance and conformity – as a necessary step toward enlightenment. Set to gospel and house music along with spoken word, the work underscores the crucial role of action and movement in effecting change. Exemplifying his view of hip hop as a 'celebration of life', Exodus marks Harris' latest invitation to return to spiritual basics and affirm who we are. His previous contributions to the Ailey repertory include Home (2011) and Love Stories (2004), Judith Jamison's dynamic collaboration with Harris and Robert Battle.
Company UK premiere
After the Rain Pas de Deux (2005 / Ailey Company Premiere 2014) Choreography by Christopher Wheeldon / Music: Arvo Pärt. An instant hit at New York City Ballet in 2005, Christopher Wheeldon's dreamlike duet – praised for its sublime simplicity and intricate partnering – is revealed in a fresh light as the Ailey dancers make it their own. Set to music by the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, the sensual male?female pas de deux has resonated deeply with audiences and marked the first work by Christopher Wheeldon to enter the Ailey repertory.
Ailey Classics
Night Creature (1974) Choreographer: Alvin Ailey / Music: Duke Ellington. Combining modern dance, classical ballet and jazz, Night Creature is a perfect fusion of Alvin Ailey's buoyant choreography and Duke Ellington's sparkling music. Duke Ellington first composed the phenomenal Suite For Orchestra in 1955, later adding the second and third movements in 1963. He said that 'night creatures, unlike stars, do not come OUT at night – they come ON, each thinking that, before the night is out, he or she will be the star.' This large ensemble work is full of such stars — strutting, leaping and slinking jazz babies and night owls. Night Creature is the definitive Ailey homage to the exuberance of The Duke's jazz, and remains one of Mr. Ailey's most popular works.
Revelations (1960) Choreography by Alvin Ailey / Music: Traditional Spirituals. More than just a popular dance work, Revelations has become a cultural treasure, beloved by generations of fans. An American classic acclaimed as a must-see for all, Alvin Ailey's signature masterpiece is a tribute to his heritage and genius.
Using African-American spirituals, the work fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul. Seeing Revelations for the first time or the hundredth can be a transcendent experience, with audiences cheering, singing along and dancing in their seats from the opening notes of the plaintive I Been 'Buked to the rousing Wade in the Water and the triumphant finale, Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham.

Maryland Commerce Launches New International Trade Initiative
The Maryland Department of Commerce has launched a new international initiative aimed at boosting exporting by Maryland companies.
The Maryland Partners in International Trade program, or MAPIT, will bring together key partners from local, state and federal government and academia to raise awareness of existing export promotion programs, facilitate greater access and usage of the state's ExportMD grant and FlexEx programs, and build new collaborative globally-focused programs.
"Last year, Maryland had record exports totaling $12.2 billion and this new program will only help to grow the state's international footprint," said Governor Larry Hogan. "This means more jobs and more opportunities for Marylanders and Maryland businesses."
"As our economy becomes more competitive, it is critical to connect our businesses with every opportunity to engage in global trade," said Commerce Secretary Mike Gill. "Between the programs offered at the local, state and federal level, as well as those offered by key stakeholders, Maryland has a wealth of international trade resources. This program will bring all those resources together and help ease of process for businesses who want to market products and services overseas."
As part of the initiative, Maryland Commerce will provide training on existing export promotion programs to county economic development agencies and strategic partners, assist with developing marketing campaigns and host at least one export resource seminar in each county to connect with potential exporters. The initiative also seeks to link Maryland companies with export opportunities they may not be aware of and work to increase participation in overseas trade shows.
Among the initial partners in this initiative is the Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) at the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland College Park, which will offer Maryland companies access to research, student talent and executive training to help them succeed in the global marketplace. Through the Smith School MBA Global Consulting Practicum, Maryland exporters can work with a team of the school's MBA students to discuss challenges their company is facing in international business. The businesses will receive customized consulting assistance, and the students will have an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge learned in the classroom to real world challenges.
"One of the main goals of CIBER is to promote the capacity of U.S. businesses to succeed in the global marketplace. For us at the Smith School, this means Maryland businesses," said Managing Director of CIBER at the Smith School Rebecca Bellinger. "This partnership with Maryland Commerce will not only benefit the students and companies that will work together, but ultimately the Maryland economy as well. Our student talent is prepared to support local businesses with their plans to expand in international markets and ready to make an impact."

TORWars: Level Cap and Gear Grind
Hello TORWarriors, and welcome to another Think Tank. Today, I'm thinking about the level cap. My Knight, Atceth Makabba, just hit the big 5-0.
Things are working out pretty well with the new guild, but my playtime is still severely limited. We seem to have an abundance of tanks and melee DPS right now in the guild, so when 1.2 comes out I'm going to reroll my a DPS Commando.
A couple of old guild mates have rerolled on my server and are flying up to 50. I'm looking forward to being able to run with them again and our new guild will provide plenty of opportunities for them when I'm offline.
Happy Easter!

Student Views
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Aberystwyth, the course, the town and the lectures were all fantastic and I enjoyed the modules studied. I believe my university course gave a more rounded view of conservation, agriculture and eco-tourism as a whole, which helped my understanding in this sector and aspects of conservation, agriculture and eco-tourism I otherwise wouldn't have learnt about – rather than 'just' the bird knowledge I was learning in my own time. I had a genuine interest in conservation and especially bird conservation and I spent most of my free time contributing to bird (such as the BirdAtlas / breeding bird surveys at my ringing site and ringing itself) or moth (through moth trapping) data in my free time. I also volunteered for the RSPB on a reserve. This, along with a degree, is very important to potential employers – you have to be determined with a genuine passion to get anywhere in the conservation sector.
Sarah – Breeding Bird Survey National Organiser, British Trust for Ornithology
Countryside Management brings together just how the natural environment revolves around us as humans. It's an eye-opening course that puts into perspective how geology, ecology, and land-use has shaped an intrinsically diverse countryside into one of the most naturally diverse nations in the world. Unlike other courses, Countryside Management encompasses every aspect of the environment making you the expert in a wide range of studies. The field trips will allow those eager for adventure to traverse great mountain tops such as Cadair Idris and experience the real countryside.
Daniel Creech
Countryside Management is a thought-provoking course with some amazing field trips and visits as well as an awesome study tour in the first year and the staff are really friendly and helpful.
William Wilf Davies
Like everyone I speak to who has studied at Aberystwyth I cannot rate the course highly enough. The lecturers are fantastic and their experience of working in the field combined with research of their particular subject areas means the content of the course is up-to-date. The course has given me the grounding required to start as a countryside trainee and progress up the career ladder.
Anna - Westgate Parks Development Officer, Kent County Council
The BSc Countryside Management course has proven to be the most useful component of my education career so far. I'd highly recommend the course to anyone who wants a head start in the environmental sector. And there couldn't be a better place to study than Aberystwyth!Luke - Wildlife Biologist, Stantec Consulting Ltd., Canada
I developed my survey skills for protected species such as great crested newt, reptiles, birds, mammals (pine m.arten, wild cat, red squirrel, bats and badger) and habitat surveys during and following my time at Aberystwyth University.
Neil – Ecology Matters Consultancy
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and my time at Aberystwyth and feel that it has enabled me to pursue and progress my countryside career. It was the breadth of the subjects covered on the course that enabled me to adapt to work successfully in a variety of different countryside posts all over the country. The course taught me excellent scientific and analytical skills and from this starting point I have complemented them with practical skills built up over several years as a countryside ranger.

|The present paper studies the connection between the category of modules over the affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra at the critical level, and the category of D-modules on the affine flag scheme \(G((t))/I\), where \(I\) is the Iwahori subgroup. We prove a localization-type result, which establishes an equivalence between certain subcategories on both sides. We also establish an equivalence between a certain subcategory of Kac-Moody modules, and the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on the scheme of Miura opers for the Langlands dual group, thereby proving a conjecture of the authors in 2006.

Luminarias will honor cancer victims, survivors
By Becky Barclay
Published in News on May 1, 2005 2:03 AM
A white paper bag containing a little sand and a candle might seem like a small way to remember someone who has died from cancer or to honor someone who is battling the disease, but when you put 6,000 of them together the effect is something special.
Organizers of the annual Relay for Life say that expanse of light is what they expect to see at the event, which will be May 13-14 at Wayne Community College.
Debbie Pennell, who is chairman of the luminaria committee for the event, said there were 5,403 luminarias last year. This year's goal is 6,000.
A luminaria is a white bag that has the Relay for Life logo on it. Sand is placed inside , and a small candle is placed on top.
"It's just a special way to remember someone who has lost his or her battle with cancer or to honor someone who is fighting the battle," Mrs. Pennell said.
She said luminarias can be purchased in memory of someone who has lost his or her battle with cancer, in honor of someone who is a cancer survivor or to thank someone who has helped you through your cancer ordeal.
They are $10 each and may be purchased by calling Mrs. Pennell at 739-7905 or 736-3030 or from any Relay participant.
The luminarias are put in alphabetical order and placed around the track and in various places on the grounds the first day of the Relay for Life.
Luminarias must be purchased by May 5 to guarantee they will be placed in alphabetical order at the event. After that date, if luminarias might still be available, but cannot be placed in alphabetical order.
Boy Scout Troop 59 of Grantham will place the luminarias at the Relay. "With us expecting 6,000 luminarias, that's going to take a lot of back power," Mrs. Pennell said.
"It's a big job. But they've done this for the past several years. Without them, it would be almost impossible to get it done."
Luminarias may also be purchased for four special people this year. They will be placed in heart shapes during the Relay.
This year's hearts will be dedicated in memory of the late Dr. Ed Hogan, a professor at Wayne Community College; in memory of Florence White, a Cancer Society volunteer who was killed in a car accident last year; in honor of Olivia Whaley, this year's honorary Relay chairman; and in honor of Brenda Herritt, a local woman who has battled cancer twice and has been co-captain of her Relay team for several years.
The luminaria ceremony will be May 13 at 9 p.m. "At that time, we have a prayer and talk about the luminarias," Mrs. Pennell said.
"We also light the luminarias, starting with the hearts. Lighters are passed out for others to light the luminarias, too.
"In past years at Eastern Wayne High School, we've turned off the lights on the football field during the ceremony. We're hoping to be able to do that at the college this year."
During the lighting ceremony, the Royal Descendants will provide background music as people walk around the track lit by the luminarias.
The luminarias will be taken up May 14 starting at 9 a.m. Anyone who would like to keep any of them should pick them up at that time.
Mrs. Pennell strongly encourages everyone to come out to the luminaria ceremony.
"To me, what the luminaria ceremony is, is a way of remembering or honoring someone," she said. "It gives me a chance to think back about the good times I used to have with my best friend who died with cancer.
"I have another friend who is a cancer survivor and lives out of town. But she's always at our luminaria ceremony. We walk the track together and that's our time to shed a few tears and really realize what we're doing, why we're there, why we're raising money and how important it is to find a cure for cancer."

We all know that con artists succeed by manipulating and taking advantage of people, and some recent phone scams targeting seniors in Westchester remind us that we should always be vigilant. As District Attorney and chief law enforcement officer in Westchester County, I want to let you know about these scams and the ways you can protect yourself and your loved ones from con artists like these.
Police in Mount Pleasant and New Castle have recently received reports of a series of calls to elderly residents with urgent requests for money. In one instance, a caller told a grandfather that his grandson had been in an accident in Mexico and needed $2500 wired immediately. The grandfather sent the money, and then sent another $2500 when he received a second call, but it was all a hoax. In another case, a caller claimed a grandchild was in jail in Bolivia and urgently needed $4500 for bail. The grandfather got in touch with his grandson and realized this was a scam before sending the money.
These are not rare or isolated cases. One frequently reported version of this scam involves a phone call that begins with a young caller saying Hi, this is your favorite grandson. The grandparent naturally responds with the grandsons name, which the con artist then uses. The caller then tells the grandparent that he is in trouble overseas and needs money immediately, claiming either to have been in an accident, or to have lost his passport and wallet, or to have some other emergency. In these cases, when a caring grandparent wires money overseas, it is picked up immediately by the scammers and is not recoverable.
If you receive an urgent call asking for help for a family member overseas, be suspicious and make every attempt to find out whether the emergency is real before acting. Ask for the callers name and contact information. Make some calls and find out whether the story is true. Dont be pressured by a caller who tells you that you must act immediately. Even if the callers account is true, there is no emergency so critical that you cannot take some time to verify the facts. And if you have been the victim of one of these scams, dont blame yourself. These con artists are professional criminals who take advantage of a grandparents natural desire to help a grandchild.
As with all unsolicited phone calls, be cautious and do not provide any personal or financial information to the caller. Do not respond immediately to requests for donations or offers to sell you things. Instead, ask for the callers name, firm and contact information, and then decide whether to respond after you have had time to consider the call. Report any phone calls that you consider suspicious to your local police department.

Hi everybody,
It has been quite the week. First Week of Work, First time driving to New Jersey by myself. First time to Cooperstown. So many first and boy do we have the pictures to prove it. And the best part was that we unloaded the truck and NOTHING was damaged. I kind of rock at packing a truck. If anybody reading this lives in New York and needs help loading a truck. I am for hire. 🙂
I am a little overwhelmed with the things that have to be done when you move to a new state. Lesson learned that every state is different so do your research!
I am meeting a ton of new people and the job is awesome. It's pretty much exactly what I want to be doing with my career. Doesn't mean that it's going to be a lot of work, but I'm excited about the opportunity so that's over half the battle.
I am overwhelmed with the excitement that I live among mountains and get to look at them every day when I go to work. I also love that it's fall, it's my favorite season and there are a gazillion trees around here so can't wait to see peak season.
I will keep you updated with organizing tips as we are getting settled along with other lessons learned in this journey.
Sorry this post was a little scatterbrained. A lot on my mind and a lot that I want to get done before the work week starts again!!
Talk to you all soon!!!

Next week I hope you will go vote.
Please don't assume you are still on the voter registration polls in your state and that you have not been purged.
A friend of Kate's recently learned that she had been purged, despite voting at the same place for years and having her voters registration card.
If you live in Michigan, go to Michigan.gov/vote to verify your voting rights. (I found Rick no longer voted in the firehouse but somewhere else.)
Rolling Stone recently had an important investigative story on voter fraud this year. You can read it online or download it here.
Meanwhile, if you live in Michigan, this non-partisan site has information on the two state ballot proposals – medical marijuana and stem cell research.

Year after year, the cycling industry flocks to Las Vegas, Nevada, a desert town known for debauchery, gambling and late night shenanigans. Like moths to the flame, people crowd the ailes of Interbike to see the latest technology in cycling, but during the frenzy-filled first day, there's one thing on everyone's mind: Cross Vegas.
The past two years have been huge and this year, when Sven Nys was announced in the roster, the heat was on… Since I couldn't stay for the Men Elite race (see results here), I asked my good friends at Manual for Speed to submit a Guest Gallery. You know those guys right? They're taking cycling by storm with their unique perspective on the sport.
This year, Manual for Speed will be covering 'cross extensively (as they do) and what better way to start off the season than with a little Cross Vegas? Check out more in the Gallery and keep your eyes glued to Manual for Speed this 'cross season!


text: 25 January 2013The Hollywood gossip-mongers have been set chattering by pictures of actress Uma Thurman at a recent Paris fashion show. The shots, taken at a Giorgio Armani show, prompted speculation about her "different" appearance. While one of the differences which was noticed could be easily explained � a new hair-do in which she had opted for a straighter look � it was also noticed that her face seemed remarkably wrinkle and line-free. "Maybe she got a new face", wrote Jennifer Wright on gossip website Thegloss.com. "My first thought was 'this is a lot like Madonna looked like when she got her new face,'" Wright added. And as Uma is known for tough-woman roles, epitomised by her portrayal of The Bride in Quentin Tarantino's two Kill Bill films, it is the thought that she might resort to cosmetic surgery which seems to have shocked the gossip-mongers the most. "It would make me a little bit sad if Uma Thurman got plastic surgery, just because I associate her characters with being the kind of people who would not give a damn if they had wrinkles or not," Wright wrote.
