DePaul voted preseason favorite by league coaches.
NOTRE DAME, Ind. – One of five teams to receive first-place votes in the 2012
BIG EAST Conference preseason coaches' poll, Notre Dame was picked to finish
third in the league standings as announced Monday by the conference.
DePaul was tabbed the preseason favorite by the league's coaches as the 2012
poll marks the first time since the current conference formation was set in 2006
that five teams have split the first-place votes.
Notre Dame received three first-place votes on the heels of finishing the 2011
season as the BIG EAST regular-season champion with a 46-11 overall record and a

average (.330), slugging percentage (.511), on-base percentage (.397), runs
scored (333), RBI (291) and total bases (742). Head coach Deanna Gumpf and the
2011 BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year will have to fill the shoes of five
graduated all-BIG EAST selections, including BIG EAST Player of the Year Heather
Johnson. The Irish will look to pitcher Laura Winter, outfielder Alexa
Maldonado, pitcher and Brittany O'Donnell, who were BIG EAST selections last
DePaul earned three first-place votes and finished second in the 2011
regular-season standings. DePaul returns four all-BIG EAST selections, including
the 2011 Rookie of the Year Kristen Verdun.
Two-time defending tournament champion Syracuse earned four first-place votes to
slide into the poll's second spot.
This season's BIG EAST Championship will be held at Notre Dame's Melissa Cook

`Dogs Ranked No. 22 in Softball Preview
CollegeSportsMadness.com ranks Fresno State in top 25 of preseason poll and picks the Bulldogs to win the WAC
Jan. 23, 2012
FRESNO, Calif. – CollegeSportsMadness.com recently ranked Fresno State No. 22 in its 2012 preseason poll and four Bulldogs were named to its WAC Preseason All-Conference Team.
In addition, College Sports Madness picked Fresno State as 2012 favorite to win the WAC.
Pitcher/infielder Michelle Moses, infielder Brooke Ortiz and outfielder Andrea Ortega were all named first-team on its preseason all-conference list while right-handed pitcher Mackenzie Oakes garnered a second-team nod.
Other preseason polls expected to be released on Tuesday include the NFCA preseason top 25 poll and the USA Softball preseason poll.
The Bulldogs open the 2012 season with 10-straight home games, beginning on Feb. 9 with the Fresno State Kick-Off tournament.
The release sent to SPY did not contain a full 25 list, but offered these comments:
|Look for a bounce back season. A rare tournament absence in 2011, the Wildcats are ready to compete in the Big 10.
|Reached program's 2nd Super Regional. If Cougars can replace Crabtree in circle, UH can compete for CUSA crown.
|LSU has a new coaching staff and outstanding pitching. Need offensive improvement to overtake SEC powers.
|The only program to qualify for all 30 NCAA Tournaments. High hopes as the Bulldogs expect to win the WAC.
|Third in Mountain West in 2011, the Aztecs should benefit from BYU's move to the WAC. MWC title hopefuls.
|One game from a Super Regional, last year's C-USA regular season champs should battle UH for conference title.
|UNC looks to return to the tourney after a rare absence in 2011. Should battle Ga. Tech and FSU for ACC title.
|ROSEMONT, Ill. – Chicago Bandits GM Aaron M. Moore announced today that the Bandits have released the following players: infielders Christine Knauer, Robin Thompson and Stacy May-Johnson. Each player played a key role in the team's championship season.Knauer was selected by the Bandits in the fourth round of the 2010 Senior Draft out of North Carolina. She spent most of her career at shortstop for the Bandits, batting .161 during the 2011 season with an on-base percentage of .188 and four runs scored.
"Doc is the consummate professional and teammate," said Moore. "She was always ready to play when her number was called and was a player we could always count on in the community. She really is a great example of what the Bandits are all about.
"We wish her the best of luck as she works towards entrance in medical school this summer."
Thompson spent her collegiate career at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. before signing with the Bandits via open tryouts in May of 2011. Spending the majority of the season as a pinch runner for the Bandits, Thompson hit .222 on the season with an on-base percentage of .364 including two stolen bases and five runs scored.
"Robin was definitely critical to the team's success in 2011 after earning a spot on the team at tryouts," stated Moore. "Speed is such a valuable asset in our game and RT provided that and was a key contributor off the bench. She is going to pursue a career opportunity with the Target Corporation and we wish her the best of luck there."

Coming out of retirement in August of 2011 to rejoin the Bandits, May-Johnson blasted a homerun in her first game back in a Bandits uniform. She finished up the season with a .125 batting average, and an on base-percentage of .364.
"We were thrilled when Stacy decided to come out of retirement to help us down the stretch last season," exclaimed Moore. "Stacy's work ethic is contagious and her veteran leadership was key down the stretch for us.
"The University of Iowa is very lucky to have Stacy in their dugout as a coach. She's one of the smartest people in the game and the sky really is the limit for her."

We sometimes take conveyor belts for granted. "Just a motor, some rollers, and a big flexible belt." But for those of us that use conveyor belts as a critical part of our business, we know how impactful a belt system failure can be. Additionally, a failure can cause more than just an inconvenience; failures in your belt system can lead to overheating and serious fires.
Here are some good ideas to help keep your conveyor belts running smoothly and safely.

I really appreciated this post, and I can agree with you about how we take conveyor belts for granted. This picture alone seems like a good enough reason to be careful with conveyor belts. This was a great post for me to read, so thanks for sharing it.
Comment by Kyler Brown — May 4, 2016 @ 12:48 pm
Hi, Kyler. Thanks for that. We see these systems in so many different places, in many different industries, that I think we forget that they need just as serious a maintenance plan as any other piece of critical equipment.
Comment by Ken Reed — May 4, 2016 @ 1:06 pm
The tips provided regarding conveyor belt maintenance is really very helpful

I don't know about you, but I love easy and inexpensive ideas for improving my home. Several years ago when I painted my kitchen, I couldn't figure out what I wanted to use as a window covering. I'm a short woman and found it would be too difficult to reach strings or wands on blinds, and I didn't want a shade to completely block my outside view and all the sunlight. I opted for my own unique creation. I purchased two tension rods and two white fabric window valances. I bought some fun trim at my local fabric store and stitched it on the bottom of each valance to coordinate with my tropical blue paint. This unique covering gives me the ability to enjoy the view and streams in light, all while providing moderate privacy and a finished look to my space.
Here are a few more ideas for using simple tension rods around your home:

ORDNANCE SURVEY is launching an innovative Welsh-language web site at this year's Royal Welsh Show.
Welsh speakers will now be able to view and buy mapping online, and download extracts for free from www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/cymraeg.
They can also discover more about Ordnance Survey - or Arolwg Ordnans, as it is known in Welsh - including how its geographical information benefits consumers, government and business.
The map-maker's stand at the show will also feature demonstrations of the latest digital mapping for Wales, and a shop.
THE Royal Welsh Agricultural Society is the latest organisation to sign up to the cross-industry publicity drive to show the public how farming produces quality food while managing the countryside.
The society will be promoting the c/o British Farming campaign's key messages during the show with poster and banner advertising and promotional leaflets.
"Our banners are already on display in farmers' fields adjoining roads and railway lines to show the public what a top job farmers are doing in producing quality food and creating the landscape around us," said NFU Cymru president Peredur Hughes.
PEOPLE all over the world will be able to tune into S4C's coverage of the Royal Welsh Show, with live broadcasts on the channel's web site.
Daily programmes from the four-day event can be seen on www.s4c.co.uk/sioe and will also be available throughout the UK on S4C Digital.
Dai Jones Llanilar, who is one of S4C's group of presenters on the showground, said it would help to prove to Welsh people living abroad that agriculture is still alive and well in Wales.
"It may even persuade some of them to move back home," he said.
ORGANIC Centre Wales is publishing a report on how the sector has progressed since the launch of a Welsh organic action plan five years ago.
The report details the public- sector support available to organic farming and will be available from the Organic Food and Farming Centre at the Countryside Care Area.
OCW is also launching a newspaper telling the story of how Welsh organic food is produced.
There are significant policy changes affecting the organic sector, including the introduction of ongoing post-conversion support for organic producers.

The following is an original project file for Protosurge. It is meant for learning purposes only. Melodies and beats featured are copyrighted property.
Software: Ableton Live 9.6.1
Duration: 06:15 (full track)
Used 3rd party software:
Slate Digital Everything Bundle (it's $15, arguably the best deal in digital production software - http://slatedigital.com/everything-bundle/)
This, along with FabFitler EQs is arguably the most important part. So much tone and character was added using these plugins that this sound would simply not be possible using any other (except maybe UAD) or native Ableton plugins (not even nearly).
There's a Virtual Mix Rack on almost every track, those that were processed externally for quality that I couldn't achieve in the box. It's mainly used for Channel Emulation, in this project's case the SSL4000 E Console. Tape was not used per-channel in this project, but I would highly advise it
There are a lot of other tidbits about using Slate Digital plugins to simulate an analog environment, and you can find out the best chain for you, and get other answers here: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/943456-unofficial-slate-digital-frequently-asked-questions.html
If not, feel free to ask me.
There was a lot of Kontakt usage in the Effects region, as well for some interesting textures in buildups and the main drop - huge mumbo jumbo of sounds that was then processed through an external compressor in order to sound glued and solid.
Some of the samples are from Kontakt libraries that cannot be obtained through alternative methods and are upwards of $400 each, so I didn't find much logic in leaving the Kontakt in the project as not everyone has these (like pads from Gravity, etc.) I froze the source Kontakt audio and left the processing with effects in the project, so that you can see how that particular one was processed.
I should warn you that upon launch, the project is incredibly CPU-demanding, especially on the Drop. This is mainly due to iZotope Ozone 7 Maximizer running in IRC IV Transient mode on several tracks that are listed below.
I would also suggest to setting your audio interface to maximum available samples in order to reduce CPU load.
During work I would set it to IRC I, and when the track was finished, I would set it back to IRC IV, because IRC IV in Transient mode offers UNPARALLELED maximization and transient preservation, and I know of no other software capable of such tremendous preservation of audio while squeezing out as much juice as it possibly can. Some sounds would be crushed if anything else was used. Tracks it's used on:
Even a single instance of Maximizer using the IRC IV Transient setting induces a 16000 sample delay, so make sure to switch it to IRC I before pressing play, unless you have the power to play it live. This was done on an Intel i5 4690.
I would highly suggest switching back to IRC IV before rendering.
If you have any questions regarding the project, other projects or services I offer, please do not refrain from contacting me.

In case you missed this story like I did, here it is. Last month 50 firefighters responded to a German Shepherd trapped in the Los Angeles River. Lowered in by a helicopter U.S. Firefighter Joe St. Georges risks his own life to save this poor K-9 from the river.
Officials sate that the male dog nicknamed "Vernon" is doing fine.
After the rescue...
1 minute 29 seconds
Vernon is a little shaken up but I'm sure he is relieved to be rid of that situation. Found with no tags and no microchip the owner is unknown?
I for one do not agree with implanting dogs with microchips. It seems a bit inhumane and unnecessary doesn't it? What do you think?
German Shepherd Rescued From The Los Angeles River
at 5:31 PM

*We can provide on-site child care if you RSVP ahead of time!*
WHAT IS CAMP CADRE? Camp Cadre will be a week long buffet-style series of trainings and classes to equip you to be the best Socialist organizer you can be, followed later in the month of February by a week of putting what you've learning into action.
WHAT IS A CADRE? Cadre is the word Socialists and others use to describe their dedicated members and devoted organizers. The root of the word comes from a word that describes the part of the picture frame that holds up the picture. If cadre are doing their job, you don't even notice them.
Those who attend four workshop slots throughout the week will receive an Official Camp Cadre 2017 Graduate certificate!
Camp Cadre Night 1: Foundations of Socialist Politics Janurary 30, 7-8:45pm
Slot 1 7:00 pm – 7:45 pm — Who is KWL, what do we do, and why?
Ashley Kelley will give a brief introduction to who KWL is and why we do what we do. Questions and discussion encouraged.
Slot 2 8:00pm – 8:45 pm — Socialist Strategy 101: Dual Power
The 1% have their strategies for maintaining control over society. What strategy can the 99% use to build our own power from below? Will Emmons will give a brief introduction to the Socialist Strategy of Dual Power. Questions and discussion encouraged.
Camp Cadre Night 2: Foundations of Organizing Janurary 31, 7-8:45pm
Slot 1 7:00 pm – 7:45 pm — Organizing 101: The Art of the One-on-One
The fundamental link between an organizer and the masses is the one-on-one conversation. Join organizer Greg Capillo to learn the secrets of the Art of the One-on-One.
Slot 2 8:00pm — 8:45 pm — Running Effective Meetings
Meetings are the lifeblood of any democratic organization, but too often they are directionless, intimidating, and take longer than they need to. Join Joe Hamilton for a jam session on how organizers can make meetings effective, efficient, and inclusive.
Camp Cadre Night 3: Fight the Power, Serve the People Feburary 1, 7-8:45pm
Note: Each workshop slot will be hosted simultaneously from 7:00-7:45 and again from 8:00-8:45, meaning you can pick two of the four in whichever order you prefer.
Slot A — Non-Violent Direct Action 101
Sometimes the most effective tactic for fighting the powers that be is putting our bodies on the line. Join Greg Capillo to learn how to do this safely and effectively. Join us on Thursday Feb 2 for the follow up workshop on Keeping the Peace.
Slot B — Pre-Gaming: How to Table
KWL believes in organizing the unorganized. One place to meet unorganized people is at festivals and events. Join Megan Murph and Meg Brown for a conversation about what needs to happen to bring your A game to tabling.
Slot C — Tutoring and After School Programs
Join Anna Campomanes for a conversation about KWL's work with youth in Cardinal Valley and how you can get involved.
Slot D — Seize the Means of Communication: Power to the People radio
KWL produces a monthly radio show on WLXU. Come learn the craft of this and how to get involved.
Camp Cadre Night 4: Managing Conflicts, Managing Ourselves Feburary 2, 7-9:15pm
Note: Each workshop slot will be hosted simultaneously from 7:00-7:45 and again from 8:00-8:45, meaning you can pick two of the three in whichever order you prefer followed by a winding-down exercise from 8:45-9:15.
Slot A — Keeping the Peace: Deescalation in Tense Situations
Following up with the Non-Violent Direct Action 101 that we're offering on Wednesday, Feb 1, join Greg Capillo for a conversation on how to deal with cops and right-wing bullies when they show up at protests.
Slot B – Revolutionary Wellness
Organizing is hard work. Most of us do this for free, and the bad guys' forces are larger than ours and better-resourced. Moreover, we often find ourselves in conflicts with other activists who seem to share our values. It all takes an emotional toll. Join Megan Murph and Anna Campomanes for a conversation about best practices for staying well.
Slot C – Arbitration: Handling Contradictions Among the People
In any human organization, conflicts arise. People have differences of opinion and people have personality conflicts. Sometimes these two things get intertwined. In this workshop, we will be discussing how KWL seeks to manage conflicts among our members so we can save our fire for the real bad guys.
Wind Down Exercise 8:45 pm – 9:15 pm – Socialist Yoga
Following an evening of intense Socialist learning, join Megan Murph, revolutionary and certified Yoga instructor, for brief Yoga exercises with comrades.
Camp Cadre Night 5: Potluck and Graduation Feburary 3, 7:30-9:00pm
Celebrate a successful week of trainings with food and fellowship. Comrades who have completed at least 4 Camp Cadre workshops will receive an Official Camp Cadre Winter 2017 graduate certificate. We will also be discussing how to get plugged into The Camp Cadre Service Learning Projects to take place the week of Thursday Feb 16 through Wednesday Feb 22.

Dry Skin
Dry skin can feel uncomfortably tight. The drier it is the rougher and/or flakier it becomes. The pores are hardly visible and the skin may look matt and dull.
Dry skin is lacking natural skin oil (sebum), which makes it more susceptible to premature aging.
You may naturally have dry skin, however, it can become drier and dehydrated further due to any of the following factors: an unhealthy diet low in essential fatty acids, insufficient water intake, ill health, stress, incorrect product use, long hot baths or showers, central heating, air conditioning, extreme weather conditions or harsh use of face cloths.
Vedani Botanicals have formulated a luxurious oil blend with a very rich texture to replenish, soften, moisturise and protect dry skin.

May 30, 2012 - TwitChat, a social networking app for Twitter, launched both free and paid iPhone versions this week in the App Store. The innovative app is a revolution in the mobile Twitter experience. For the first time, Twitter users can privately and instantly message, group chat, and send pictures to their followers - all with no character limits. Twitter is an incredible social media tool, and we wanted to make it even better, said Marcus Thomas, TwitChat CEO.
Oct 10, 2011 - The wait is over; Twitter, the worlds fastest-growing social network finally has a chat feature. TwitChat is both a website and mobile application that will forever revolutionize the already informative and simple Twitter experience by allowing users to instantly and privately chat with each other from any internet-enabled device. Twitter users will no longer have to rely on the underdeveloped and often criticized Direct Message feature to communicate privately.

Women only have children to make up for their lack of a penis.
This came up in "one of the two most important photographic essays of the 20th century". It's an idea originally from Freud, so it must be true. Freud can do no wrong on my course. He's worshipped as a god, despite the last thirty years of psychological research suggesting his explanatory framework is, well, bullshit. Here's the 'fair' Freud: A Very Short Introduction bending over backwards to give the guy some credit:
The female version of the Oedipus complex is less clearly worked out, in line with the fact that Freud continued to find women a puzzle throughout his life. However, Freud concluded that, while the little girl is also at first involved emotionally with her mother, her discovery that she lacks a panis, and is therefore an inferior being, leads her to become disillusioned with her mother whom she blames for her condition. This turns her towards her father as a love object, and she begins to phantasize that he will impregnante her. The resulting child, Freud supposes, will compensate the girl for her lack of a penis, and, in this sense, might be said to be a substitute for the missing organ. What brings this stage of emotional development to a conclusion is the girl's growing perception of other men as potential impregnators who will enable her to have a baby and thus overcome her continuing sense of being an inferior kind of human being.
Stated in so bald a fashion, Freud's perception of the Oedipus complex as constituting the central emotional stage through which every human being has to pass if she or he is to achieve adult stability and happiness sounds crude indeed. We have already observed that Freud invariably strove to reduce the psychological and emotional to the physical. To allege that all small boys fear castration at the hands of their fathers sounds ridiculous when taken literally. But, if we were to phrase it differently, and affirm that small boys are greatly concerned with establishing their identity as male persons, feel rivalry with their fathers, and are easily made to feel humiliated or threatened by disparaging remarks about their size, weakness, incapacity and lack of experience, most people would concur.
Maybe, but that's not really what he said, is it? In fact, in this case it seems he was wrong about everything until you massively overgeneralise. The defence is usually 'he was the first to think about this stuff', which is all well and good1. But if I go to a science class I don't expect to learn about Prime Mover theory, no matter how awesome Aristotle was.
The one high point of this topic was when my lecturer couldn't bring himself to mention Freudian dick theory in regard to fetishes. He said people fetishise things for 'a variety of reasons'. This was quite funny.
Western science, and indeed culture, has 'privileged the visual' for centuries.
God knows what this is supposed to mean, but they say it a lot. Galileo started the trend of privileging the visual when he looked through his telescope, apparently, and it's been true in astronomy – and pretty much all the sciences – ever since. The other senses are given far less attention. Apparently.
It's always spoken about in sinister tones, as if it's really oppressive. I keep thinking they're going to draw some profound conclusion, but one hasn't yet materialised. I honestly don't know how to respond. It's not even wrong. I mean, doesn't walking privilege the legs? It's just how things are, isn't it? How are you meant to look at the stars without using your eyes? Maybe I'm missing something profound, or maybe it's just filling time between drooling over Freud.
Society tells us what 'perfect vision' means. There's no concept of 20/20 vision in nature.
This is also SINISTER AND OPPRESSIVE. It's all a bit libertarian, my course. Oh look, someone's trying to help me see better. How bloody arrogant and insulting of them.
I think this meant to be some mealy-mouthed point about culture and its subtle influences. Which is probably an interesting discussion. Or would be, if they could think of any other examples.
I don't think society says jack shit about 'perfect vision'. I think society says you need a certain standard of vision for specific tasks, like driving. I think society says your vision can be improved – as a quantifiable measure – with corrective lenses. I don't think society makes any value judgements about your vision. If you want to stick it to the man by refusing to read eye charts just because someone tells you to, go right ahead.
Before humanity learnt about Cartesian perspective, people had an entirely different concept of the space around them.
This is all a bit odd. Apparently the understanding of perspective fundamentally changed the way we view the world. I'm not totally averse to this idea, but their evidence is so pathetic that I provisionally conclude they're making stuff up. Here's the proof: a few lines from the start of Hamlet in which the perspective is changed – because it's not like Shakespeare was a poet or anything – and an anecdote about showing a film to some tribespeople, who didn't understand it at all. Yeah, I'm totally convinced. They also say that pre-perspective painting indicates something other than 'them not having developed perspective yet', which, to my eyes, it doesn't.
Oh, and cameras were designed around2 cartesian perspective, which is SINISTER AND OPPRESSIVE. You may think your eyes see things in perspective, but they don't! As proof: do you ever walk places and notice new things, despite having walked there many times before? Proof that our brains don't work just through perspective! I'm so glad I came to university to learn this stuff.
Sorry to rant. It just gets me down sometimes. I increasingly feel like it's a massive waste of my time. What isn't demonstrably wrong is just facile, unfalsifiable wittering, all presented as terribly profound art theory.
Maybe it is interesting, if you're not like me. I suppose there's value in discussing unfalsifiable theories, if you happen to find it fascinating. But I don't. I just find it annoying. I want to see the modern, evidence-based psychological research into people's experience of the world, and how they look at art, and how culture influences the way we think. In Our Time recently had an episode on neuroscience, and it was utterly fascinating. I know there's wonderful knowledge to be had, and it's so disappointing to instead get psychoanalytic gibberish from the '70s, by people incapable (suspiciously so) of writing clearly.
Don't worry, I'm not going to quit or anything. I have another 18 months of this before I hit the 4th year and can study whatever the hell I want, and I can live with it for 18 months. Goodness knows how the essays will turn out, though. I'm not optimistic about squeezing 3000 words from this term's work.

Sutta Study Group
Bhikkhus, these four times, rightly developed and coordinated, gradually culminate in the destruction of the taints. What four? The time for listening to the Dhamma, the time for discussing the Dhamma, the time for serenity, and the time for insight. These four times, rightly developed and coordinated, gradually culminate in the destruction of the taints.
from Aṅguttara Nikāya 4:147 (Bhikkhu Bodhi, trans., The Numerical Discourses of the Buddha, Boston: Wisdom Publications, 2012, p. 520).
The ERBC Sutta Study Group meets twice a month during the Fall, Winter, and Spring. The aim of the group is to help practitioners look deeply into the teachings of the Buddha as found in early Buddhist texts. We focus primarily on material contained in the Sutta Piṭaka (The Collection of Discourses from the Theravāda tradition). We encourage participants to reflect critically on the teachings that we study, to investigate their meaning, and to explore how they can be put into practice. We also deepen our understanding through discussion together—sharing insights from our experiences and study of the Dhamma.
In the Fall of 2017 we will continue study of a series of key topics from the Sutta Piṭaka, including:
- Heedfulness (appamāda)
- Seclusion (viveka)
- Renunciation (nekkhamma)
- Not-self (anattā)
- The elements (4 and 6) (dhatu)
- Aging, illness, and death (jarā, vyādhi, maraṇa)
- The Seven Factors of Awakening (satta bojjhaṅgā)
- Dependent Origination (paṭicca samuppāda)
Studying the suttas adds depth to our understanding of what the Buddha taught and to our practice of the Dhamma. It can also clarify how contemporary Buddhist interpretations sometimes misconstrue or omit aspects of early Buddhist teachings. We are especially interested in understanding the suttas on their own terms, rather than using the texts selectively to confirm our existing beliefs about the Dhamma. Many of us have found that studying the teachings in the Discourses, and applying them, contributes richly to our lives and brings about genuine movement toward what is skillful and liberating.
This group is best suited to those with prior experience studying the suttas. For those who are newer to Buddhist teachings, please consider visiting our weekly Monday night meetings. The study group is limited in size to support full participation. For more information, please contact Steve Seiberling at firstname.lastname@example.com. If think you would like to participate in the group, please contact Steve by September 10th.

The MoveIn Vision Team has been hard at work putting together a program schedule that is designed to meet your needs as a MoveIner. This weekend of learning and community will allow you to grow in your ministry and build your relationship with God and your teammates and the wider MoveIn movement.
Each morning after breakfast we will have a time of worship, prayer, and Bible teaching, led by a number of seminars to choose from. Afternoons will start with some free time where we'll have some optional fun activities, and prayer ministry, or you could use the time for rest, personal reflection, or meeting with friends.
We'll have more seminars in the afternoon, a short teaching session, and then dinner. Evening sessions will include stories from MoveIn teams, teaching, and receiving a specific love offering for a ministry we care about.
Introducing MoveIner18 Bible Teacher & Keynotes: Patrick & Jennie Fung
Patrick and Jennie Fung were both born in Hong Kong. Patrick was trained as an internist physician in Australia with subsequently specialist training in the UK. In preparation for missionary training, Patrick graduated from the China Graduate School of Theology in Hong Kong and Fuller Seminary in the US.
Jennie was trained as an obstetrician/ gynecologist in Hong Kong and the UK. They previously served as medical missionaries in South Asia in a Muslim context for a number of years and were deeply committed to discipleship. Dr Patrick Fung is currently the General Director of OMF International providing overall spiritual leadership for the organization. Jennie is involved in member care and mentoring ministry.
Both Patrick and Jennie are actively involved in preaching and teaching ministries. Patrick was the Bible expositor for Urbana 2015, plenary speaker for the Cape Town 2010 Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization and one of the Keswick Bible conference speakers in the UK in 2011 & 2015. Their vision is to see indigenous biblical church movements among different peoples so that all may glorify and worship the Lord Jesus.
As our kids programming at the MoveIner Conference continues to grow and develop each year, the program and care that we provide will offer an amazing chance for our youngest MoveIners to grow in Christ.
Childcare for babies, toddlers, and children in elementary school will be provided during sessions. More information will be coming closer to conference, or if you have a specific question please contact us at email@example.com and we will refer you to our Childrens Program Coordinator
Click here to learn more about our programming for children at the MoveIner Conference.
A special feature of the MoveIner Conference we love is our one-on-ones. We have a great group of counsellors, seasoned missionaries, and spiritual directors, who are qualified and experienced professionals in their fields, as well as in tune with the MoveIn vision and context. One-to-one sessions are offered throughout the weekend free-of-charge to all participants - an incredibly valuable opportunity.
When you arrive, plan to book a session early to make sure you get a spot.
MoveIner'17 is a place to pray! We'll be hosting a 24/7 prayer room again this year, as well as healing prayer ministry and other opportunities to be ministered to and to intercede on behalf of others. We encourage you to take these opportunities to pray and be prayed for throughout the weekend.

We got this question from a Travelista who is going on a super fun road trip this summer with two of her friends. She wanted to know how she and her fashionable (read: overpacking!) friends could pack better and with only one weekend bag each. They also would have access to a laundry facility. Luckily, I had just experienced this with some friends and have some great tips to share.
1) Sharing means caring. Bring pieces that you can all share and that go together (if you have similar style and are similar in size) – it'll triple your own trip wardrobe! Make sure your colors are coordinated, too. The beauty of that is that you will each look different and have your own flair with every piece! Plus, it gets your creative juices flowing. Shoes take up the most room, so if you have the same size, expand your shoe choices by sharing them, too.
For example, I shared a light boho blouse with my friend Jenn – and no one was the wiser! We wore it differently and for different occasions, so with one piece, we expanded our outfit choices in a snap. It almost made a complete round when our friend Eva considered wearing it over a very light black romper and letting it hang off the shoulder.
2) Keep it simple. Wear pieces that are interesting enough in detail but have simple silhouettes. That way you can layer them together or just add accessories (hat, scarf, funky sandals, etc.). A cool off-the-shoulder top in a square shape could go with jeans, shorts or a skirt or over a tank dress. Shorts with a subtle but fun pattern make your outfit more interesting but look different with different tops (plus you can dress them up or down).
3) Double (or triple) up. I have a fabulous scarf from Urban Outfitters that I use as a shawl at night, a scarf on the plane, a sash around a maxi dress, and a sarong on the beach (you might be able to get away wearing it as a skirt, too!). It's a wide scarf (probably about two feet in width but looong enough to wrap around my waist, neck, etc.). I also have a tube skirt from American Apparel that can act as a skirt, tube top, or tube dress for night or day. You can layer a cool button down or oversized tee over it for day or dress it up with your scarf at night.
4) Accessorize! A hat changes an outfit in a second as does a scarf and the rightjewelry. Don't forget your bathing suit and that you can actually wear it underneath your clothes like tanks (if you are going somewhere with a beach and it's okay to expose the top a little).
A fedora is the perfect piece to add polish to any casual beach outfit.
5) Plan your pieces. Bring at least one skirt, one sundress or tankdress, one pair of shorts, and one pair of pants (including leggings, jeans, super-light summer pants or cropped pants). You will be wearing one of those at any given moment, so it's not much. Top-wise, I would recommend a cool button down, a cardigan or light jacket of some sort that goes with everything, two comfy/funky tees, a tank, and a blousy top that can dress up shorts or loosely go over a tank dress. For feet – low-wedge sandals (dress up or down), casual flat sandals, and Toms slip-ons.
6) Bring only one of everything. Share hairdryers, flat irons, shampoo, etc. I always find that at the end of the day, these are things I pack last and don't have room for!

HR Software for Small Businesses
You might think that HR software is only for companies with a lot of employees, but small businesses can benefit from using it as well.
HR software is often thought to be costly, and therefore companies that don't have a lot of employees or a lot of money to spare have avoided it. However, there are a lot of benefits to keeping employee information in one, automated place, according to an article by Fresh Business Thinking.
Using HR software can help you find information quickly, such as training spend, equal opportunities compliance and directors' reports. But perhaps most importantly, good HR software will have the capability to remind employees about important events, such as as a probation period ending, appraisals, eye tests, expiring licenses or permits, impending retirements, long service awards or even employee birthdays.

First edition of Premier Hospitality International 1.1
Welcome to the first edition of Premier Hospitality International – our hospitality focus that celebrates projects worldwide. Our very first issue is crammed full of fantastic projects, ranging from the Drawing Hotel and Lanzerac Spa to Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya and beyond.
As the name suggests, the Drawing Hotel is a venue inspired by art – providing guests at the boutique hotel with a culturally enriching experience. Conceived by Carine Tissot, the Drawing Hotel is located in the heart of Paris and boasts 48 rooms. Artistic contributions from a number of sources are central to what makes the Drawing Hotel unique and each of the hotel's five floors has been designed by a different artist, incorporating different styles and colours.
Meanwhile, the newly refurbished Lanzerac Spa offers a place of luxury, restoration and sheer indulgence in the heart of the Cape Winelands of South Africa. As part of the large-scale refurbishment of the grand and historic Lanzerac Wine Estate, the Lanzerac Spa has been completely rebuilt and re-imagined. The newly redesigned building, which overlooks the towering Jonekershoek Mountains and is nestled against rows of lush vineyards, offers superior amenities and unrivalled views, while establishing itself as a leader in health and wellness on the Stellenbosch Wine Route.
And finally, a spectacular new 'hidden' tropical paradise set in 590 acres of idyllic oceanfront, Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya in Mexico is a place where sophisticated style meets nature. Opened in December 2016, the new resort is an addition to the internationally acclaimed eco-resort Mayakoba, located on the Caribbean beachfront just north of Playa del Carmen. The inspiring setting transports guests into a lush natural environment where locally inspired and indigenous experiences, cuisine and personalised service is brought to life. Set in idyllic preserved mangrove and lagoon surroundings, the new resort has 214 guest rooms, including 41 suites.
With all this and more it's time to sit back and marvel at all of the great projects across the world, courtesy of Premier Hospitality International.

text: Contributed by Fairfield UniversityFather von Arx Reflected on Career at Fairfield Juliana Sansonetti November 16, 2016 After 12 years of serving as Fairfield's president, Father Jeffrey P. von Arx, S.J. prepares to say goodbye as his departure draws closer. By the end of December, von Arx will leave for Cambridge, Mass. to head up to the House of Studies in Cambridge, where Jesuits doing graduate work at Harvard and MIT will be able to live and engage with an intellectual and spiritual community, according to Fr. von Arx. Fr. von Arx looked back upon his career at Fairfield with fondness. He commented that for anyone who works at an institution like Fairfield, "the biggest achievement is to see kids who come in here as adolescents, people who are dependent on their parents and have a certain lack of maturity, and to see them come out of Fairfield as mature, self-aware, self-realized adults who know who they are, who know what their values are and who know what they want to do with their lives." Fr. von Arx also discussed the reputation of Fairfield throughout his tenure as president and how it improved during his tenure. "That's something that everybody's contributed to, but I think the perception is that Fairfield is in a much stronger position and in a much more prominent position as the kind of institution we are now than when I started," he commented. However, Fr. von Arx had to face some difficulties while president at Fairfield. He recalled the most difficult of these challenges, which, according to him, were the financial hardships of 2008. "We had to look for ways to make sure that we were more efficient," said Fr. von Arx. "It meant that we had to make difficult decisions about what we would or wouldn't do at the institution." Fr. von Arx spoke on the difficulties of having to prioritize the most important aspects of the institution and launching initiatives to get through the financial crisis. He also touched upon the difficulties of the school's association with alumnus Douglas Perlitz '92. Perlitz was convicted of sexually abusing children for more than a decade at a school that he founded in Haiti for the Project Pierre Toussaint, which resulted was in a sentence of almost 20 years in prison in 2010. The school provided the children with money, food, clothing and electronics. Perlitz threatened to take these away and remove the children from the program if they told anyone about the abuse. "The Doug Perlitz case was a tragedy in a certain sense," Fr. von Arx commented. "It wasn't really a scandal for the University in the sense that we did not actually have any control over Project Pierre Toussaint and certainly Doug was not somebody who worked for the University in any way." "But he was a Fairfield alum who we thought was a wonderful person who was doing wonderful things, but as it turned out he was using his position to take advantage of and abuse minors, which is both a tragedy and a crime," Fr. von Arx continued. "We've had to try to come to terms with it and have made significant efforts at different times to try to help the situation down there. Not always successful, but we've certainly tried." In spite of the difficulties that Fairfield has encountered, the institution is flourishing economically and academically. In comparison to their net assets of approximately $279.1 million by the end of 2008, Fairfield accrued approximately $468.8 million in net assets by the end of 2014, according to the University's 990 form. Additionally, Fairfield is on its second strategic plan. "The second strategic plan, Fairfield 2020 has to do with building a more sustainable future, which has obviously to do with issues like restraining tuition increases, increasing the efficiency of our operations and looking for new revenue streams for the University," commented Fr. von Arx. Fairfield 2020 has resulted in the Master Plan, which is the facilities aspect of the outcome of the strategic plan. Another massive success for the school is the Fairfield Rising campaign to raise $160 million for the school, $134 million of which was already raised. "We have every confidence that we will meet the goals of the Fairfield Rising campaign," said Fr. von Arx. He believes that Fairfield will be able to exceed the goal. When Fr. von Arx first arrived at Fairfield, he vowed that he would focus on academics more than building new facilities, as his predecessor President Aloysius P. Kelley, S.J. did a lot of building such as expanding the library and the student center. However, Fr. von Arx ended up accomplishing both. During Fr. von Arx's tenure, renovations and building projects such as the new Leslie C. Quick, Jr. Recreation Complex, Rafferty Stadium, Dolan Hall, 42 Bellarmine Road, Marion Peckham Egan School of Nursing and Health Studies, the Aloysius P. Kelley Center and 70 McCormick and 51 McInnes Road have transformed the physical appearance of the campus. However, in addition to these changes, there were also vast improvements in academics. "The quality of the classes has improved year after year," said Fr. von Arx. "We've brought down the acceptance rate over the last couple of years, so clearly we are looking for and getting better qualified students and it's getting more difficult to get into Fairfield as a result." According to Fr. von Arx, if you look at SAT scores and how the students were ranked in their high school class, each recent class is better than the previous one. Another success for the institution is an increase in diversity. "One of the things I'm happy and proud about is that I think we've become a more diverse institution," said Fr. von Arx. "When I arrived here, our diversity figures were quite low, the lowest in the [Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities], I'd say at around 7 percent. Before 2008, we got them up to 19-20 percent." "They took a little bit of a hit after 2008 [due to the financial crisis], but we are building them back up," Fr. von Arx continued. "I think it's around 14-15 percent right now. My goal would be to try to get it back to 20. Not just racial and ethnic diversity, which those figures reflect, but also I think a more diverse campus from a socio-economic point of view." However, Fr. von Arx believed that the University needs to improve in more than just the numeric aspect. "I want to see us become a more open and welcoming community. A community that values the diversity of students and their backgrounds and their experience and what they bring to the institution," said Fr. von Arx. "I think that's an area where we all have a long way to go still — students, faculty, administrators and staff — in creating a truly welcoming, diverse community." Fr. von Arx also discussed the success of campus sports. "I think people have a lot of admiration for our teams," said Fr. von Arx. "I think men's and women's basketball are significant recognition factors for the institution. Lacrosse has been an important sport for us as well." "Then you look at something like women's volleyball, which is probably the last couple of years our most successful and winningest team, and I think people really appreciate how those teams and their success and the wonderful people we have of the team have contributed to people's improved perception of Fairfield and its position," Fr. von Arx continued. However, an important aspect of the school that Fr. von Arx discussed is the sense of community. "That's almost famous about Fairfield," Fr. von Arx said of the community. "Our alumni and students while they are here talk about the friends they have formed at Fairfield and the fact that these friends are lifelong friends. There is a very close sense of community." 2 Responses Paul Kendrick '72 December 7, 2016 Father von Arx's never ending efforts to distance himself and Fairfield University from responsibility of Project Pierre Toussaint (PPT) casts shame and disgrace upon students, faculty members, staff and alumni of a Jesuit education. His excuses simply do not pass the straight face test. As Father von Arx knows, Fairfield University provided seed money and ongoing financial support to Project Pierre Toussaint. Fairfield University promoted itself as a partner in the humanitarian work being accomplished at PPT by awarding Douglas Perlitz an honorary doctor of laws degree at the 2002 commencement and a "Magis" alumnus award in 2004 for his service to the poor and needy in Haiti. Campus Ministry Director Father Carrier was the "Voice of Project Pierre Toussaint" to the people of Fairfield County. Carrier solicited donations for PPT at his weekly masses held on Fairfield University owned property. Father Carrier appointed himself chairperson of the non profit Haiti Fund. Father Carrier traveled to PPT in Haiti on an almost monthly basis for many years. Father Carrier advertised and used a Fairfield University mailing address when soliciting donations for PPT. Donations were directed and processed through Fairfield University's Office of Development. One could not visit Fairfield University's Egan Chapel and Campus Ministry headquarters without being overwhelmed by posters, photos and information about Project Pierre Toussaint. Donors were thus able to assure themselves that their donations were in the good hands of a trusted institution like Fairfield University and its long time employee, Jesuit priest and Campus Ministry Director, Rev. Paul Carrier, S.J. Yet, in the end, it would be Father Carrier who co-authored a letter to donors in which he called the victims liars and defended Perlitz. Father Carrier's words frightened donors. In a few months the school would be forced to close for lack of money. The displaced Haiti students were forced back onto the streets with nothing to eat, no school and no safe place to sleep at night. Reply Richard Orareo December 15, 2016 Having followed the Fairfield/Perlitz case for many years, and now reading the summery provided by President von Arx represents a demonstration of the sin of omission. von Arx never mentioned the students who were molested, raped, humiliated and finally thrown out into the streets. Their strength and determination led to newspaper reports, police reports, court trials, and jail sentences. All while von Arx washed his hands of this Fairfield scandal. Currier lives in shame, von Arx is to live in Cambridge, Perlitz lives in prison, and the students live in the streets. Has JUSTICE really been served?

Adidas wanted to create an immersive experience to celebrate their young urban players and the ongoing success of their internationally renowned Tango League and Blue Blast football boot collection.
Looking to move away from traditional football events, they wanted to create content for their #NeverFollow campaign that showcased the most creative & innovative players, and gave both influencers and sponsors a vehicle to reach their substantial followings.
A two-part event, Adidas planned to split the venue between 5-aside games and an interactive photographic experience, allowing players to create dynamic content to share instantly on their social platforms, giving them the chance to fulfil the potential for recognition and gain social notoriety amongst peers.
Adding to the live experience was the surprise appearance of iconic West Ham players, Sam Byram and Reece Burke, who added to the professional feel of the interactive photo shoot. To highlight the success of their Blue Blast collection, we installed vivid blue lasers focused directly on the floor in the shape and style of the Tango League Logo; the colour, highlighting their Blue Blast football boots.
We wanted the young players to feel as if they were a part of an authentic Adidas photoshoot transforming them into professional footballers. Using our 360-degree Bullet Cam photo technology, it enabled the capturing of players and products 'in action'.
We utilised a multi-camera set to add a more dynamic tone to the shots, emphasising the quality of the content and making it highly shareable.
The event resonated with both players and football influencers and was a success regarding consistency of experience as part of Adidas' wider campaign. Individuals to the event cited the 'quality of photographic content coming from the interactive experience giving them a reason to share'.
*Estimated Social Reach = 6,787,382

National media reacts to alleged Ole Miss violations
With Ole Miss releasing the NCAA's notice of allegations and its own 154-page response to it, it didn't take long for national media outlets to offer their take on the what's taken place and what's sure to follow. Here are some snippets of what each had to say:
It's unclear what the NCAA or the school will do as far as punishment going forward. The NCAA still has to hand out its final ruling on this current investigation before it can add — or not add — any extra punishment that could come from an investigation into (former offensive tackle Laremy) Tunsil, who admitted on draft night to taking money from an Ole Miss staff member.
While there were some damning allegations in Ole Miss' response, most notably the academic fraud that involved former Houston Nutt staff members Chris Vaughn and David Saunders, there was no bombshell that could cripple Ole Miss' football program, and (Hugh) Freeze likely won't lose his job over this.
From Pat Forde of Yahoo! Sports:
When Mississippi shocked the college football world and signed the No. 7 recruiting class in the nation in February 2013, it didn't pass the smell test for a lot of people in and around the sport.
Three years later, we can say with reasonable certainty that their noses did not deceive them. There was a questionable odor coming from Oxford then, and it is lingering over Hugh Freeze's program to this day.
From Dieter Kurtenbach of Fox Sports:
What's the real cost of a down payment on a 2010 Dodge Challenger, or a $2,250 cash handout, or a fraudulent ACT score if it improves the team and increases a coaches' earning power 10 times over? The NCAA should let Ole Miss know. … The NCAA needs to make an example out of Ole Miss. It's not just because the school broke the rules — everyone at that level of college football is breaking the rules (and if they aren't they won't be long for their jobs) — it's because Ole Miss was so brazen about it. Ole Miss might be the last major violator in the current NCAA paradigm, and if the NCAA doesn't participate in the sanctioning process, its authority will be an afterthought going forward.
From Paul Myerberg of USA Today:
Legacies alone don't win football games — players do, as do coaches, to a lesser extent. Yet in the top-heavy SEC, the deepest and strongest conference in the Football Bowl Subdivision, even a scenario where NCAA sanctions result only in a series of scholarship reductions might represent an insurmountable hurdle for the Rebels to overcome.

By Jayna Patel
Director: Gavin O'Connor
Starring: Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, John Bernthal, Jeffrey Tambor and John Lithgow.
Studio: Warner Bros, Electric City Entertainment, RatPac-Dune Entertainment and Zero Gravity Management
Ben Affleck's no stranger to challenging roles. From having to live up to Christian Bale's stellar performance as the Dark Knight, to playing the most screwed-over and hoodwinked husband of all time in David Fincher's mind-blowing thriller, Gone Girl. His winning performance as an autistic accountant who uses his astute math skills for the most formidable terrorists and offenders of the criminal underworld, is yet another testament to his understated versatility as an actor.
And yes, you read correctly, a protagonist who is an autistic accountant. Refreshing huh? In fact, the whole film is refreshing.
Immediately suspense is built up, bit by bit, frame by frame, as the film opens with a tense shootout, depicted through an initially unknown character's point of view. We witness close ups of his cautious feet as he edges slowly, floorboards creaking, up the stairs of the building from which the piercing sound of gunfire rings out, ricocheting off the walls, the sound of his nervous footsteps carrying him closer to the deadly scene as he catches sight of the limp and bloody arm of a fatally shot figure slumped on the ground around the corner…
Well you get the picture, The Accountant features gripping action and gunfire sequences but quite ingeniously intersperses a tight, slick filming style evocative of the methodical and meticulous mind of someone living with autism.
What's great about how The Accountant tells a story is the way it's put together, the narrative interwoven with strategically placed flashbacks that reveal more about Affleck's complex character, Christian Wolff. Without being overloaded with flashbacks, it paid to have different elements of Christian's background spliced together with the present of thread of him auditing the books of a legitimate client, cutting edge robotics corporation, Living Robotics to see how past events have shaped the man he has become.
His army father's relentless 'beat it out him' mentality and approach when it comes to comforting Christian's autism, forcing Christian and his younger brother, Braxton (Jon Bernthal) to endure intensive combat and sniper training as children, explains the elite fighting skills Christian displays and channels his aggression into in present day.
Later flashbacks of the seemingly aloof accountant receiving valuable advice from an elderly mentor and fellow inmate at a prison, Francis, (Jeffery Tambor), who imparts pearls of wisdom from his own former days of being a financial fixer for a crime family. Tips like regularly changing addresses if one is to consider balancing drug and warlord's books- serves as an explanation of Christian owning a storage unit on wheels, so he can not only stow his extensive gun, cash and gold bullion collection, but also make a quick getaway if necessary.
Though farfetched at times, director, Gavin O'Connor and Affleck work well together to portray the daily reality of living with autism. Christian's little ticks and obsessive quirks and muttering, his one sole set of cutlery, the fact that his food can't touch, painting an insightful picture.
Humour stems from Christian's literal interpretations of questions and sayings, a trait that is played out well in his interactions with Dana (Anna Kendrick) , an assistant at Living Robotics who spots a discrepancy in their figures and ends up entangled in Christian's extra-curricular activities. "What is this place?" a bewildered Dana demands to know only to be greeted with the exact size and dimensions of his mobile storage unit. But instead of being mocking of autism, the humour is artfully acted and well crafted to make Christian seem a tad endearing.
Endearing is a surprising impression to create, given Christian's slightly skewed, if a little unbelievable moral compass. He's fine with going on a killing spree (even if to avenge Francis who was tortured to death upon his prison release) and gunning down criminals nonchalantly, it's comical at times. Yet he rescues Dana from a couple of would-be assassins, cuts corners to save an elderly couple money, and spares the life of Raymond King, Director of FinCEN at the Treasury, because he claims to be a good father.
As slightly implausible as his moral code may be, it works as a metaphor for being misunderstood, just as his condition is in real life. His kick-ass combat skills and brilliant mathematical cognitive capacity certainly makes the statement "maybe he's capable of much more than we know" from a childhood doctor, ring true.
His extraordinary abilities do the rare thing of shining a light on mental disability, conditions we're still not completely comfortable with openly discussing, in contrast with physical disabilities which shed their taboo skin years ago with the popularity of the Paralympics. There's no doubt the film is a powerful enough to encourage us to reflect on whether we put value on the wrong characteristics; social skills over intellectual talents.
The shakeup of the stereotypically dull accountancy profession into one of excitement and action adds to the refreshing allure the film emits, whilst plot twists, although predictable after a while, are clever narrative U-turns nonetheless.
The Accountant is an all-round champion, if not a thought-provoking eye opener that leaves unanswered questions about autism lingering long after the credits cease to roll.
