text: The South needs the North as a source of low-cost labor to compete with China and the developing world. The North needs the South for everything from feeding the people to dragging the country into the 21st century. Like the reunification of East and West Germany, both sides will eventually have an open border, common currency, and a fully integrated economy. Unlike Germany, integration will occur at a much slower pace, given how much poorer North Korea is compared to how poor East Germany was.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Wednesday that Tuesday's vote not to recall Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is a good sign for Republicans in the November election.
Romney, on a tele-town hall with members of the National Federation of Independent Business, noted that Wisconsin has not voted for a Republican for president since 1984. "(Voters) said we've seen a conservative governor, he cut back on the scale of government,…stood up to public sector unions. We want more of that, not less of that," Romney said. Romney said he believes voters will make the same decision in November.
Organized labor and state Democrats had put up a strong fight to defeat Walker in Wisconsin. Their loss could bode well for Romney in a state where President Obama won in 2008 and has been leading in the polls. Romney responded by putting renewed focus on his affinity with the business community, in the call with members of the small business lobbying group. He also spoke Wednesday at the USAA offices in San Antonio, Texas.
On the tele-town hall, Romney focused on a claim he has made frequently on the campaign trail: the Obama administration "has been hostile to small business and business overall."
Romney said the president's stimulus bill protected government and union workers, rather than the private sector. He said Obama's health care reform created uncertainty for businesses about costs and prevented hiring. Romney criticized the "ever-growing intrusiveness of federal regulators."
Romney said if elected, he would lower the marginal individual tax rate and the corporate tax rate, while limiting deductions and exemptions. He would review all Obama administration regulations and require that "any agency that seeks to add a new regulation must eliminate another regulation of equal size."
Romney also responded the Obama campaign's arguments that Romney's experience as CEO of Bain Capital was about making a profit, not creating jobs. Romney has said on the campaign trail that his experience in the private sector taught him to understand the economy and create jobs. "The free enterprise system is about people taking a risk to turn a profit, and if they do, they hire more people," Romney said.
Obama campaign spokesman Michael Czin responded, "As a corporate buyout specialist, Romney's focus was on creating wealth for himself and his investors, not creating jobs."
Czin sand Romney "would provide $5 trillion in tax cuts weighted towards millionaires and billionaires while slashing investments that support small business lending by nearly 20 percent through the Romney-Ryan budget – policies that would devastate small business owners." Czin was referring to Romney's support for extending the tax cuts put in place by President Bush and his support for a budget plan proposed by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, which includes major cuts to domestic spending – though not specifically to businesses.
The Obama campaign pointed to statistics showing that since February 2010, the country has gained 4.3 million private sector jobs. According to the White House, Obama signed into law $200 billion worth of tax relief and tax incentives for businesses.

Grecian Style Dresses Is The Dress To Wear All Year Round Grecian Style Dresses Is The Dress To Wear All Year Round June 4, 2013 | Author: Sisi Tsoi | Posted in Fashion
At first glance, a grecian dress might not strike us as the most obvious choice for a Christmas outfit. But then, isn't that part of the appeal? Whilst we want to look stylish, following the crowd isn't always the best option. It's completely possible, often desirable, to look distinctive and unique as well as fashionable.
The color trends in chiffon grecian gowns this season are merely perfect to wear at Xmas time. Aubergine, emerald green, ruby together with sapphire are deep asics gel lyte iii rebajas , luxurious colors that evoke the richness and ambiance of a cosy Christmas party, giving a comfort from the cold weather, not to mention pleasing an array of skin tones. They're also the best dresses to wear in January, while the mood is lower as well as a dose of opulence is necessary all around to raise some mood.
One shouldered, bandeau, ruched, dipped back; there are plenty of different features in the grecian fashion that it may be difficult to know what to go for. Try a variety of designs as well as in the end it simply relates to preferences; you can find no designs which are off-limits, in particular when getting worn to a party or additional special occasion. Layers may often be added to ensure certain details are maintained ideal and comfortable in the cold.
Another fun element to grecian dresses at Christmas can come from the playing around with a variety of textures to create different looks. Velvet is a major trend at this time of year, and the addition of a crushed blazer or velvety sky-high platforms seriously raises the glamor of an outfit. Leather is another element that adds its own unique feel. Supple and classic – yet enduringly edgy – throwing a battered biker jacket over a soft asics gel lyte rebajas , chiffon dress creates a mishmash of textures that is both fun and on trend.
It seems that whilst we instinctively think of Greece when we read about the Grecian dresses trend (duh), these pieces do not have to be limited to the summer or vacation wear. They are far too classic and beautiful to be confined to a certain season or climate, especially when it can only challenge us to learn to layer well if we opt for them in the colder months. If you want to wear a party dress, what's really the difference between a delicate chiffon, and a pretty lace? One we conventionally associate with Christmas, but as gorgeous as lace is, it can be dull to simply wear what's expected. If we look to stars such as Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Zoe Saldana, we'll see that show-stopping zapatillas asics rebajas , feminine frocks can be worn at any time of year for a fabulous occasion. There's no need to limit ourselves when it comes to our style, and it's a great way to make our wardrobe accessible all year round.

Band continues 'One Wild Life Tour' in support of 'One Wild Life' album trilogy
Grammy-nominated artist Gungor has launched the pre-order of their upcoming release, "One Wild Life: Spirit." iTunes pre-order includes an immediate download of the tracks "Kiss the Night," "Hurricane" and "Wonder."
The upcoming record features 11 new songs co-written by Michael and Lisa Gungor and produced by Michael. "Spirit" is volume two of Gungor's album trilogy titled "One Wild Life," which is being released over the course of 12 months. "Spirit" debuts on March 25 and can be pre-ordered HERE.
" 'One Wild Life: Spirit' continues the journey to open the heart to wonder," Lisa said. "Sometimes it is easy to feel stuck, to feel alone, to feel hopeless. But these songs are our attempt to bring a sense of belonging and a nudge to remember how magical and meaningful life is."
Last August, Gungor kicked off the music series with "One Wild Life: Soul," which debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Christian albums chart and No. 15 on the iTunes alternative albums chart. The third and final record, "One Wild Life: Body," will be released later this year.
"This second album of the 'One Wild Life' trilogy is both a celebration of and invitation to dive headfirst into childlike wonder: To leave behind the small, false world of pre-rational superstition or of 'enlightened' modern reductionism and to simply open our eyes and heart to the infinite magic of everything," Michael shared about the "Spirit" record.
For a limited time, Gungor is also offering a "season pass" purchase option to instantly download "Spirit" before it is released to the public. The offer includes early downloads of the forthcoming "Spirit" and "Body" albums with high-resolution audio files, chord charts, lyrics and passholder-only invites to events like album listening parties.

Borders to Edinburgh railway bridge lifted into place at Galashiels
A new bridge with a "vital role" in the Borders Railway project has been lifted into place in Galashiels.
A 15-strong team worked throughout Saturday and Sunday to install the 90-tonne structure above Wheatlands Road.
Network Rail project director Hugh Wark said the lift had gone "very well" and thanked businesses and residents for their "patience and co-operation".
Bridge works will continue in the area with further structures on Currie Road and over the Gala Water planned.
The rail line between Tweedbank in the Borders and Edinburgh is scheduled to reopen to trains next year.

After the successful escape from the loanshark, you decided to not run away to another city, but try your luck and gamble. I can't say it was a wise idea. If you lose, you won't have the money to move somewhere else. But it's up to you. Let's see, where do you want to start? Wait! Look! I can't believe it, it's that guy again... If he sees you, he'll beat you up and take your remaining money. I think it's a sign to not gamble with your money, but to escape from this city. Quickly, find the backdoor and leave the building before he catches you. Good luck!

Her stamping skills are top-notch! The way she layers her stamping/elements always delight me. And let's not forget how she uses colors .....bold! Her gorgeous work is always pleasing to the eyes. Take a look at her

bird card
is her latest win over Hero Arts Tic Tac Toe Challenge.
Hello! I am so thrilled to be a guest designer on Virginia's challenge blog today - it's such an honor for me and a dream come true! As a regular participant and an avid fan of Virginia's View Challenge, I am continually inspired by the quality, beauty and creativity of the cards featured on and submitted to this challenge blog. So each month, I've enjoyed pushing myself to create interesting and quality cards. I hope that you enjoy these that I'm sharing today.
Sending Hugs card:
As soon as I heard that this month's challenge was to create "100% Stamped" projects, I knew that I wa
nted to stamp my own patterned paper and embellishments. Background stamps are great tools for creating custom patterned papers. To create the patterned card base, I stamped and clear embossed a Hero Arts striped background stamp on a piece of watercolor paper. Then, I watercolored over the embossed stripes with Distress Ink. After the ink dried, I covered the panel with a sheet of copy paper and removed the shine from the embossed stripes by ironing with low-heat. I love this technique for creating beautiful patterned papers. For a final detail, I used the top of an eraser to stamp a smattering of faux paint-splatters (truly 100% Stamped).
To create a focal point in my design, I stamped and white embossed a leafy, wreath image from the Hero Arts Best Time Ever stamp set on a strip of vellum that I wrapped around the card base. The wreath embossed on vellum became a design element for grouping embellishments without adding bulk to the card. I stamped a sentiment from Altenew's Scribble Flowers stamp set on a watercolored paper strip and centered the sentiment across the wreath. To create floral embellishments, I stamped and fussy cut six flowers from the Hero Arts Color Layering Hibiscus stamp set and then positioned and layered the flowers around the focal point.
Pace of Nature card:
To create the watercolored background for this card, I started by creating a palette of pink and yellow Distress Inks, sprayed with water, on my largest acrylic stamp block. I gently pushed the smooth side of a piece of watercolor cardstock into the ink. When the cardstock had absorbed enough color, I slowly lifted it from the block and set it aside to dry. I stamped a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp's Explore Nature stamp set across the card front.
Inspired by Virginia's signature colorful style, I covered another piece of watercolor cardstock with vibrant pink and yellow Distress Inks, using a mini blending tool to apply layers of color. I stamped and silver embossed a graphic leaf image, also from the Explore Nature stamp set, three times across the inked panel. I decided to create individual elements, so I cut the images apart, into three, similar rectangles. To add brightness to each leaf, I removed the color from inside each leaf with a paintbrush, some water, and a paper towel. Using the paintbrush, I carefully applied water to the interior portion of each leaf. When the water reacts with the Distress Ink, it magically removes much of the color from the dampened area. I blotted the excess water with a paper towel and then allowed each to dry. To balance the card design, I stamped and fussy cut a smaller leaf that I added to finish the card.
Aren't they amazing or what? I am so thrilled that Jayne shared her BEAUTIFUL ART with us. In her notes to me about the guest design, Jayne wrote:
"I tried to embrace the "100% Stamped" theme completely - I didn't use any patterned paper unless I stamped it myself and I didn't use any embellishments unless I created them with paper, ink and scissors. (It was so hard not to add bows :) as they are my favorite, lol..."
. What a beautiful example Jayne has given us. I hope that you are, like Jayne, embracing the 100% Stamped Challenge! My heartfelt thanks to Jayne for always being supportive as she contributes so fabulously to this challenge blog. Stampers like Jayne makes this blog a special place! The gallery is filling up with gorgeous projects! Please keep them coming!

In the almost four years that I've been responsible for reporting on crime in Toledo, I've covered 747 shootings, 153 homicides, and a few other really horrific deaths.
The worst ones involved children. Like the parents who strangled and drowned their newborn and then put him in a freezer. Or the man who shot and killed his three adorable children, his wife, and then himself in a calculated fit of jealousy. The sweetest little boy I'd ever seen a picture of was playing on a train behind his house when it lurched forward, he fell, and was cut in half. The pressure from the train was so great that his body was cauterized. The only speck of blood to be seen was on a small white rock which the boy's aunt took to keep. There were the babies who were shaken or thrown against walls – too many and too frustrating to think about. Especially now.
If I never again go to the funeral of a 1-year-old girl, the victim of asinine gang violence, I will be just fine with that.
The kids who lose their lives to street violence will never sit well with me. Especially Montelle Taylor.
Reporting on crime, especially violence, is extremely personal and you'll never know how much so until you do it. I've sat in more living rooms with grief-stricken mothers and sisters and wives and daughters and fathers, who can't stop crying long enough to speak, than I can count. Inviting me, a total stranger, into their homes to watch them lose all composure, is one of the bravest and most selfless things I've known on this job.
After about five months here I started having a recurring nightmare that gang members were breaking into my house and were shooting me from the top of a staircase while I was in a basement. I'd only wake up when my chest hurt so badly I couldn't breathe. I stopped having that dream after my first vacation.
Don't let the morbidness of the beat make you think that I don't love this job. I do. It's awesome and easily the best beat in the industry.
The stories I could tell would take an entire week. One of my favorites is from not long after I started at The Blade. Amy Voigt and I were out covering a homicide and I got a tip that police had filed a murder warrant for the suspect, although he wasn't yet in custody. I got homeboy's address and we went there (Because. Duh.). Amy and I went up to the door. I knocked. A guy who was a dead ringer for the suspect answered. I think Amy and I both almost threw up. (Turns out it wasn't him, but we got an awesome interview with the suspect's aunt.)
I love people, and the crime beat is all about people. People at their best and people at their worst. You get to hang out with the bad guys and the good guys. Occasionally the bad guys become the good guys and vice versa. The crime beat is one ongoing study in human interaction and it is endlessly fascinating. Plus, like, how many people would have been stupid enough to go hang out with gang members for months on end? I mean, whatever, they were the most unusual and fun months of my life. We were lucky to come away from that with some kick-ass stories (and pictures) and a few awards, including a national one.
Crime reporting is considered by a lot of people to be an entry-level position that people are forced into. I fell into it, by accident, and never imagined I'd leave.
But, I am.
Today is my last day on the crime beat. Monday, when I report to work at The Blade, I'll have a new assignment – don't know what it is yet – but whatever it is I'm sure it will be interesting. Not as interesting – not sure what could be – but I'm excited for it.
Or maybe excited isn't the right word. I have a lot of mixed feelings right now. I'm a little sad. OK, that's a lie. I'm a lot sad. But change is good, right?
Plus, if you haven't been following along on social media, you might not know, but in July I'll become a mommy, and that's pretty awesome. One of my colleagues asked what I'd do if my water broke at a crime scene and I was like, "I'd probably get a Code-3 escort to the hospital." (Which, for the record, would be awesome.)
I'm not leaving the beat because of Nugget (that's what I call my little guy or gal because I don't like "it" and using the name I've picked out, Milan (my Opa's name, the most worthy namesake of all time), just feels weird still). I'm turning in my "junior police" badge because decompression is strongly encouraged. (Except I am actually keeping the "junior police" badge, because it's really cool. My sister and I each got one when we did a ride along a couple years ago.)
I'm sure I'll still pick up on scanner quips and when the emergency tones sound I'll sit up and panic a little bit. I'll probably swear out loud. Because. That's what I do. When the new police reporter – whoever that is – goes to run out of the building (and I hope they run or my blood pressure is going to skyrocket) to go to a shooting or a fire or some other breaking news mayhem, I'll feel a twinge of pain and jealousy. Probably for the rest of eternity.
I assume that the shooting I went to yesterday was my last.
You'll still be able to follow along on Twitter. I'll let you know who the new lucky duck crime reporter is once we know who the new lucky duck crime reporter is. Hopefully you'll be as good to them as you were to me.
I'm also selfishly curious as to what my new assignment will be. I should know on Monday. I'll keep you posted, too. If you want to break up on Twitter, it's OK. I'll always remember the special times we shared.
Fingers crossed for a good new adventure.
I should say thank you. Thank you to the families who welcomed me to their worlds during their darkest times, and thank you to the police officers, firefighters, agents, deputies, corrections officers, and troopers who have been incredibly kind and (usually) easy to work with. Some of you are now my friends, and that's even better.
If this entire thing seems a little bit dramatic, it's because it feels dramatic. To me. Crime reporting has been my life – that's how people know me. For some, that's all they know about me.
It's a big change, and like I said, I'm a little bit sad, but I'll be OK. Especially once I go home tonight, put on some pink fuzzy socks, and watch Modern Family reruns while Nugget and I enjoy some ice cream straight from the carton.

Forget about your bed-mate –it's our sheets that are our closest nocturnal companion. Since we spend roughly a third of our life in bed, it is in fact, our sheets that we sleep with most.
What colours do you dream about sleeping on?
Are they soft pastels, the kind that lull you to the colorful balconies of historic Havana? Are they rich bold colors that sing deep melodies of passion and lust? Or do you want to wrap up a day of chaos by slipping into a blank canvas and letting dreams color your night?
Shoo-Foo is planning our upcoming line of gorgeous soft bed linens. But how do we know what we want if we don't know what you want? That's why we want to hear from you.
Join us on Survey Monkey to assess our potential shades. Our designers have come up with a stunning palette and some fun names too. Now it's up to you.
This quick, one-page survey is simple. Your input will be rewarded with a 20% off voucher for any online purchases (valid until Nov 20 / 15).
Pick one or two, heck maybe you love all eight of our colour swatches. It's up to you to rank them. Would you like a taste of the tropics? If so we have Mexicali turquoise, sea life, and banana yellow. Like a soft touch? Look at pink peony, blue hydrangea or the neutral Chantilly lace. If you're up for a bit more of an adventure when slipping between the sheets (and who are we to judge?) consider neon red or apple lime cocktail.
Did we miss a colour that plays inside your mind? Let us know. There is no right or wrong answer in this survey, only your desires.
A big colourful thank you from the team at Shoo-Foo.

Obama supporters are bagging big bucks by signing up as so-called Obamacare 'navigators' to help herd millions of confused Americans into the government's healthcare exchanges.
On Thursday, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N J) announced that his state scored $2 million in grants for groups willing to help sign fellow citizens up for Obamacare, including $565,000 for the Urban League of Hudson County.
Obamacare critics say Health and Human Services' surprise boosting of navigator grant monies from $54 million to $67 million on Thursday is all part of an Obama crony cash giveaway designed to reward the president's supporters with taxpayer-funded kickbacks.
Also coming out a big winner in the Obamacare navigator cash dash is abortion provider Planned Parenthood which scored $655,000 in grants to help sign Americans up during Obamcare's grand opening in six weeks.
Analysts say the Obama Administration's decision to use thousands of citizen navigators represents a prime opportunity for identity thieves and con artists looking to exploit the mass confusion and chaos of what Democratic Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) warned will be "a huge train wreck coming down."

("Poesia, Saudade da Prosa, uma antologia pessoal"
"Poetry, Prose Sick, a Personal Anthology")
Published May 2011.
As Vozes (Página 24)
A infância vem
Pé ante pé
Sobe as escadas
E bate à porta
- Quem é?
- É a mãe morta
- São coisas passadas
- Não é ninguém
Tantas vozes fora de nós!
E se somos nós quem lá está fora
E bate à porta? E se nos formos embora?
E se ficámos sós?
The Voices – Page 24)
Childhood comes
By putting one foot in front of the other
Going up the stairs
And knocking on the door
"Who is it?"
"It's the dead mother"
"They are things past"
"It's no one"
So many voices outside of us!
And if it were us outside the door
knocking on the door? And if we leave?
And if we stood alone?
And my favourite Pina's poem which I translated into German a long time ago (not present in this anthology), but I like it so much that I've got to include it here:
NB: The ideas and emotions invoked by Manuel António Pina open in my spirit undefined atmospheres as if they float in the threshold of my consciousness; I'm on the brink of understanding them and make them mine, as if they were all too familiar and yet, foreign to me. Pina always questions the strangeness of the world, and the written word. He does not leave us outside. What he wrote he also shared with us: the poetry of silence, the presence of death, and his reflections upon the poems he wrote.
Manuel António Pina, 18 November 1943 - 19 October 2012, Camões Prize (2011).

Portugal welcomed some rare birds last week, as four Indian Sukhoi Su-30 Flankers and four Sepecat Jaguars landed at Beja airbase. The fighter jets were accompanied by two Ilyushin Il-78 tanker aircraft and two C-17 Globemasters whole on their long, long way to Alaska for exercise Red Flag.
India is sending the aircraft plus a contingent of 150 personnel to the prestigious military exercise within the framework of military cooperation between New Delhi and Washington. The last time India attended Red Flag was in 2008. Then, only Su-30s were involved and the stage was not Alaska, but Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
Red Flag
Red Flag features aircraft from the US and other NATO countries and provides an opportunity for the Indian Air Force to train in complex war environments. Aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor and other fighter jet will be involved and thus provide a good experience for Indian Jaguar pilots and Su-30 crews in particular.
The ferry of the aircraft from India to Alaska was a complex operation. The jets and their support aircraft routed via Bahrain, Egypt, France and Portugal, from where they crossed the Atlantic to Canada before finally arriving in Alaksa for Red Flag.

Odd name for a rock and mineral shop, but it succeeded in getting some people to stop and see what was there. What they found was a bit of that unique desert magic, albeit with a strong twist of southern humor and folk art. Some of the locals thought of it as an embarrassment, and wanted it torn down, these were obviously people who did not understand folk art at all.
Calvin was born in 1903 in Tennessee and his wife Ruby, twelve years his younger, was from Georgia. Neither one of them had any notable education; Calvin at age 13 had to work to help support his mom and family. He had worked with the circus, carnivals and puppetry when he could; this is where he learned ventriloquism. Ruby was raised on a farm and learned to survive on what she had. They both met and married in Georgia, and would eventually spend nearly twenty years together trying to carve out a living in the desert; they did not have any children.
Just after they married 1933, they headed to California and stayed for awhile in Los Angeles and Redding. In 1953 Calvin purchased land, unseen, after reading about it in a magazine ad. The lot was located about a mile up on the left side, of what is now called Ghost town rd., just off of interstate 15. They were hoping the desert air would help with some of Calvin's health concerns. Today there is nothing left; the desert has reclaimed the land like she always does.
The name Possum Trot is simply a southern expression, meaning the shortest way from one point to another. Calvin knew he needed to attract attention to his place, so he built a merry-go-round, stagecoaches, totems, a train, and even a building called the Birdcage Theater, where the Fantasy Doll Show played. A sign outside read "Free to see Inside we have the most beautiful dolls U ever Hand Carved some can sing". He had strategically placed several dolls outside and on the roof. Some of them where connect to a windmill which gave the appearance of moving. Out front was Often Seen Jim and His Limb, on the roof was a cart with some sort of deer pulling it. Other names include Eva, Gypsy Wheel, which sold for $82, 500 back in 2007, all in all about 57, some reports claim up to 80. Since they did not have any children, the dolls became very special to them; some say they were their children.
The dolls themselves were about 3-4 feet tall and made from the redwood of fallen telephone poles, along with some pine. The clothing was made from scraps that Ruby found at the dump or other places. When the clothes became to worn, Ruby simply placed a new piece on top of the old. Calvin painted each face and initially he also painted the hair, later they attached wigs. Some dolls had speakers placed in their head or on their backs which played prerecorded voices from battery operated tape machines. Each doll had a tag around the neck with their name on it; some of them were even made to resemble people in the Blacks life or Lilly Langtry. Calvin was loved the English accent, and was infatuated with Lily.
In 1972 Calvin passed away and the dolls fell into disarray, and when Ruby passed in 1980, they soon were sold off. Today these dolls are highly sought after and can command a very high price. Most of them average about $10-12K a piece. In 1977 Allie Light and Irving Saraf made a film about the Possum Trot, and most people believe that they captured the true essence, of what Calvin and Ruby brought to desert.
One Response so far.
Visited the Museum of Everything yesterday with creations by Calvin & Ruby Black. impressive. Reminded me of Joshua Desert with assembly from Noah Purifoy.

The Workshop was very well-organized and the presenter was extremely knowledgeable not to mention her enthusiasm. I enjoyed the workshop very well. I am familiar with a lot of the materials presented (been involved with ABET accreditation), but I learned about additional assessment methods in addition to others. I would have liked however that more time was added to Q/A.
This is a comprehensive workshop that covered all the major technological tools that many enhance teaching and learning. Dr. Narimane is a very knowledgeable and charismatic presenter who succeeded in delivering detailed and complex information in a friendly and accessible manner. Thanks to her efforts in this workshop, I am no longer apprehensive about the use of educational tools like Blogs, wikis and discussion board. I am actually looking forward to trying them in my classes next year.
The retreat was well organized, it gave the faculty and staffs a big amount of knowledge on strategic planning and how to measure and drive a strategic plan. Many thanks for your efforts.
The retreat was a great success on all levels. The facilitators were extremely active and knowledgeable the retreat was valuable in engaging all stakeholders in various activities in order to reach an unanimity about the strategic priorities of the institution.
Excellent Workshop!
I would like to come again and attend many more useful workshops with CLICKS.
What I liked the most is the delivery of the course; it was not serious and workshop like but it was made interesting and the presenter was engaging and interacting with the participants. I gained a lot of knowledge to make me a Tech-Lecturer.
This course was quite engaging with lots of new things to learn especially student Assessment tools. This was amazing especially in how students can be engaged in their own learning process.
Thanks you for the workshop.
The program was well planned and interesting. It was really and obviously tailored based on the goals it intended to achieve. I have personally benefited a lot from it and I felt the other attendees were interested in all the program activities and we were all satisfied.
I am very content with the workshop; it did what it promised to do. I benefited a lot and feel that my time here was a great investment.
Presenter had real life experience that is reliable, valid and recent and I feel that I will use some of the techniques learned in my work.
Very warm team, we felt at home.
Learning is life-long. There is always a room for improvement and addition to our skills. The workshop has helped me to change my outlook towards students.
Material presented was very useful. It will help me manage the supervision of capstone students even better. I will be able to get students to do more writing at a steady pace. The one page proposal/plan wukk also be particularly helpful.
For myself, I feel even more motivated to do some more writing in a consistent manner as I work on innovating in my area of interest. I really liked the 3C's of academic writing.
I believe the program was very beneficial to the faculty members and thesis supervisors. It tackled some major parts about research writing, supervisor role, researching & Evaluating a research.
I recommend a program conducted to the thesis students of American University in the Emirates, as they will sure benefit a lot for the provided information.
I learned a great deal from both the presenter and the attendees. As a novice to the Quality Assurance/Assessment process, the workshop proved to be an excellent classroom/learning Environment.
I am highly impressed about the relevance of CLICKS capacity building programs for contemporary high education practitioners and researchers. I have benefited tremendously from the Program Assessment in Higher Education workshop held in Dubai from 11-13th October, 2016.
The workshop was very well organized in respect of tasks and discussions. Very nice collection of case studies from different countries and institutions. Looking forward to more such workshops.
Learning at its best!. You get to know what could be done through informative discussions and interactive strategies. An experience to remember with an excellent moderator and very inspiring participants. Thanks CLICKS.
The workshop was very good and informative. I have learned new ideas specially workshop method. The workshop facilitator was very good and gave participants new ways of thinking.
It was a great experience to be among peers from similar fields. Sharing problems and solutions as well as best practices. I wish to attend more workshops with CLICKS.
Big thanks to all of you.
This workshop helped us make changes throughout the Student Affairs careers. We are back with bundles of decisions to change and implement. We grasped the way to be leaders, educators and mentors; we will serve with a smile!
Very useful and informative workshop, shed light on lots of different areas related to Students Affairs. Allowed a positive platform to share thoughts, ideas and experiences.
A practical and interactive workshop!
Well done! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
A bombastic experience!.
Impressive attention to details, organized venue, high quality of materials, great support with friendly organizers.
The workshop has given me the confidence in my perspective/ thinking on how a modern Higher Education should be governed to success in excellence.
This was a very good program in a very relaxed manner with very active participation from the floor that made it very interactive. I would not hesitate to recommend this program to others in this enterprise of tertiary education. The facilitator was expert of his presentation.
Workshop touched upon key areas relating to student services; how to identify the requirements, challenges, how to overcome them, how to adopt best practices, contribute towards enhanced student experience. Mr. Mokhtar is a great facilitator who kept us engaged.
On day one of the program I have very little knowledge about delivering lecture and instructing in an e-learning program but at the end of day three, I am really confident of instructing an e-learning program because of the knowledge I have gotten at the end of program. And it is useful for both online education and face-to-face.
The program overall was a very useful. It create awareness on the relevance and importance of educational technology for our online and face –to-face students.
The workshop is helpful as it identified best practices and new trends which can be applied to further improve policy review and compliance. I'm going back to my University with new ideas on how to improve on policy frame work and hopefully find ways on how to effectively administer compliance of Policies.
Well organized and give a good knowledge and the topic
Excellent coverage of a very important topic. Instructor, Prof. Zairi commands a very diverse, yet well illustrated aspects of Governance in Higher Education. Due thanks to CLICKS.
Excellent workshop facilitated by a world leading scholar and educationalist. I learnt a great deal from this workshop. I now have a much better understanding of governance issue many thanks to CLICKS colleagues for their leadership and hard work, especially Dr. Narimane and I enjoyed the workshop very much.
The workshop was useful to me. I have learned some new things that I'm very excited to use and share. I hope that things will turn out well.
The workshop was excellent. I personally benefited a lot from the leader's remarks and suggestions. I believe that we were able to implement the learning accumulated through the workshop in the on-going revision of our academic quality assurance systems.
I find the workshop to be dynamic, interactive, insightful and highly linked and relevant to the core of my job as a program coordinator.
I have been associated with Dr. Narimane Hadj-Hamou for over five years now and have found her insight to be cutting edge in the world of higher education. It is my belief that in order to achieve many of the innovations needed in MENA, thought leaders will need to think outside the box to create new kinds of learning organizations. CLICKS is well positioned to provide this leadership.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for this opportunity to participate in this workshop on Strategic Planning in Higher Education. It was overall well organized, and prepared. The topics covered were excellent and the most attractive part was the quality and the open ideas during the interactions.
I find all of CLICKS's workshops very useful. The Presenters are very knowledgeable and the workshop organization is professional. Thank you for being a support for Higher Education Institutions and showing us the correct way to do things.
It was an excellent workshop and good opportunity to gain leadership skills. The program was well organized and the presenter was an expert on the field. The ideas were effectively delivered.

MyPix Photo Watermarking and Sharing
Mentz Hill Studios
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
Requires iOS 3.2 or later.
Age Rating: 4+
Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but as any photographer will tell you, there is nothing more frustrating than seeing one of your photos posted without credit – or worse yet, with someone else claiming it as their own.
MyPix Photo Watermarking and Sharing by Mentz Hill Studios provides iPhoneographers with a simple and easy way to help prevent would-be photo thieves from falsely claiming credit for images by allowing you to create customised watermarks.
Launch the app and you're prompted to either select a photo from your Camera Roll or to take a new photo with your iOS device's camera. Once you have selected the photo you want to watermark, a watermark showing the year and text appear on the photo (the default text is © 2012 MyPixApp.com).
Every aspect of the watermark is easily customisable. Double tap the watermark and you can alter its appearance by changing the text, font, font colour and watermark opacity. There are 47 in-app fonts to choose from and two sliders allow you to control the font colour and opacity.
Repositioning the watermark is also easy. Simply drag the text by tapping and holding it with one finger, then move it around the frame. You can use two fingers to rotate the watermark as well. The pinch-to-zoom gesture lets you resize the watermark.
Once you're satisfied with the way your watermarked photo looks, you can choose to either save it to your Camera Roll or to share it via email, Facebook, Twitter, TwitPic or Flickr.
The beauty of MyPix is its simplicity – the intuitive interface allows you to create the watermark and share your photo in less than a minute. My only complaint is that there isn't more sharing and saving options built into the app. Integrating Apple's iCloud or adding Dropbox functionality would take this app to the next level.
Minor complaints aside though, if you're looking for an easy way to create clean and professional watermarks, the $2 MyPix app is a solid choice.

As you can see, we decided to change the band name from the long Ivan Mihaljevic & Side Effects to just Side Effects!
You can read about the reasons for this change in this open letter written by Ivan Mihaljevic.
Hello everybody!
We decided to change, or more precisely shorten the band name to just Side Effects, without my name in it.
There are several reasons for this change and although this is news, the idea itself isn't that new at all. We wanted to do this a while back, but were discouraged from doing that by some friends and record label representatives. We were just about to release Counterclockwise and they believed that the name change could be a step back since the name Ivan Mihaljevic & Side Effects already earned some exposure. And they were probably right. However, I believe that now the time is a bit more convenient for this change since we didn't begin recording the next album yet (although we do have more than a couple of pretty cool new songs and ideas), so there's enough time for people to realize that it's still the same band. You (yes you, the one who's reading this now) can help us with this transition by sharing these news.
So, onto the reasons:
1.) Most people know that this band started out as my solo project, but after a short while we began collaborating on song ideas and started making decisions together as a team. A lot of people aren't aware of this and still think of this band as my solo project, which it is definitely not anymore. The other members of the band deserve way more credit than they usually get and I believe that this name change is a step forward in that direction.
2.) The name Ivan Mihaljevic & Side Effects is way too long and hard to remember. Especially for people who are not from Croatia who, naturally, find it very difficult to pronounce my name. We've had a bunch of situations abroad where my name, and therefore the band name as well, was misspelled. Side Effects is much easier to remember and much harder to misspell.
This might seem like a big change on the outside, but under the hood, it's not a change at all. We've been functioning as a band with all the members involved in the creative process and decisions for at least 3 years now. So, we're still the same band, but with a little simpler name!
Ivan Mihaljevic
guitarist/singer of the band Side Effects
We made it to the next round of Global Rockstar competition finals. We're now in the top 32. 30 bands were chosen by public votes and 2 were chosen by the jury.

A former Pomona College assistant treasurer who was charged with embezzlement Aug. 22 has repaid the college the $46,000 he is accused of stealing and is expected to surrender to authorities next month. Richard Hasse, 31, of Claremont, has been accused of taking the money in $1,500 increments over the past two years.
Monte Fligsten, an officer in the Los Angeles County district attorney's special investigations bureau, said another employee at the college noticed irregularities on a credit card invoice sent to Hasse and notified police. Fligsten said his review of the college's financial records turned up further evidence that Hasse had authorized another employee to write checks in the college's name to Hasse and to a bank.
Hasse was vacationing in March when the irregularities were noticed, and was fired the next month. If convicted, he faces a possible sentence of four years in state prison. Fligsten said Hasse has made arrangements with the district attorney's office to surrender Sept. 13 for arraignment in Los Angeles Municipal Court.

There is one little game app that took the world by storm in the past few months and that is Candy Crush Saga. Although this game is really annoying in some people's opinion, there is no denying the fact that it is really addictive game app with a huge popularity. Now learning from other companies' success can always help your business grow as well.
And if you are looking to break into the app market then here are three things to take away from the success of Candy Crush Saga.
1. Understand The Freemium System
There are many different ways to make money with your app. Candy Crush uses the strategy that is also known as the freemium system. Under this system the user is not required to pay anything but by paying a small fee he or she will get little things to help progress easier.
The clever thing about Candy Crush is that it does make it completely possible to get through the levels without ever spending any money, but the temptation to spend is still constantly there. It also makes the purchases very simple, yet clear so that you don't get the sense of being ripped off even if you do spend some money.
This is something that you want your app to do as well. It is important to make some money with the app but to also provide enough content or opportunities for users that aren't willing to pay.
2. Make Your App Part Of A Routine
The best apps are the ones that become part of the user's routine. It is really important that your app is always there and becomes something people use automatically.
Candy Crush has managed to make this happen in a very simple way. The levels are short enough to play, meaning that you can easily try out a few times during a small break or while you are commuting to work. The process of waiting some time to get new lives (unless you pay of course) also provides an automated break for using the app. But it still keeps you hooked to return later.
Read this Petovera post on how to get people hooked on your products. It is essential to provide people with an incentive and personal gratification for using your app.
3. Aim For Perfection Not Necessarily Originality
Although you need to ensure that you don't directly cope someone's app idea, you still need to focus more on the way your app works rather than the originality of it. You want your app to be a quality product above all and to feel and look really amazing.
For instance, Candy Crush works effortlessly and it looks really easy. Is it the most original of all games? Not really and there are plenty of similar games that never hit it big. But because it looks and feels good it succeeds.
So whatever idea you get, aim to make the app as good as possible. Don't keep thinking too much whether the idea is original enough. As long as your code works well and the app does exactly what it says it does, you have the tools to succeed.
Marcus Rouse is passionate about app development. He is always looking for the best cross-platform enabling software to use because he thinks it is important to provide the app for as many platforms as possible. He is also really interested in comic books.
