New police chief vows to rebuild community trust in its police department
By JIM BROOKS
Nelson County Gazette / WBRT Radio
Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2017 — Bardstown's new police chief was sworn-in and received a standing ovation from the audience and the members of the city council as Mayor Dick Heaton completed the oath of office.
The audience who cheered Kraeszig's official naming as chief included members of her immediate family, her extended family, and her police family, including former beat partner, Shepherdsville Police Chief Rick McCubbin.
After the ceremony, Kraeszig thanked the selection committee for putting their trust in her ability to serve as the city's next police chief.
"For the community members who don't know who I am, I come as a professional with dignity and integrity," she said. "I'm going to work on building that trust that's been lost by some of our community members."
Kraeszig said her desire was to have the safest community and the finest police department in the state.
Councilwoman Kecia Copeland praised Kraeszig for already getting out on the street and meeting members of the community.
"I'm thankful that once again, Bardstown has made history, and we also have a positive move forward toward the future," she said.
Prior to the start of the meeting Kraeszig greeting members of her family, friends as they arrived and posed for photos with family, friends and members of the council.
Kraeszig, who has worked 23 years in law enforcement, recently retired as assistant police chief of the Louisville Metro Police Department. As assistant chief, she was the number three person in the department's command staff and she directed and managed 950 LMPD employees, including nine associate police chiefs.
Prior to her promotion to assistant chief in 2013, Kraeszig served five years as Patrol Major in the LMPD's fourth division.
Kraeszig comes from a family of law enforcement professionals.
Her father, Wayne Kessinger, has a 45-year career in law enforcement and is currently the chief deputy at the Floyd County (Ind.) Sheriff's Office; her brother, Todd Kessinger, is a major with Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD); and her oldest son is an LMPD officer who was unable to attend the ceremony due to his work duties.

In 2012, the Future Eve Foundation launched the Amal (meaning 'hope' in Arabic) Project in three villages in rural Minya, Egypt. Amal started as a humble effort to economically empower widows and female breadwinners through vocational and financial literacy training, as well as micro-finance and innovative micro-social savings and lending groups.
Amal equips widows with the resources and support needed to establish microenterprises, and in turn to sustain themselves and their families. More importantly, the Amal Project is premised on an oath that every widow takes to support other widows on their journey to self-relieance once she is able to stand on her own feet.
The Global Fund for Widows launched programming in India in 2017 in partnership with the Guild of Service, a veteran in the field for widows' empowerment. The Sana Project, focused on the war torn region of Jammu and Kashmir, aimed to train war widows – most of whom have young children – in the ancient art of Kashmiri embroidery. Over 50 widows received 36 days of embroidery training. Upon graduation, the widows all received a government Artisan Card, a critical certification that enables them to work readily in the private or public sector. In addition to helping many of the widows place into permanent jobs within the region, The Global Fund for Widows connected its graduates to industry designers, thereby enabling them to work from home and earn a sustainable income.
The Global Fund for Widows is currently expanding activities by sponsoring value chains to support the embroidery enterprises. Widows will be recruited to become vendors for raw materials needed to support widows who are embroidering, such as threads, needles, and textiles. Other widows will become solar lantern vendors and operate solar charging stations, not only supporting widows efforts to increase their own productivity, but helping others in the community such as students who need light to study at night.
With these initiatives, the Global Fund for Widows expects to cultivate a well-integrated value chain that offers widows an income stream that is highly visible, and highly sustainable.
In 2011, the GFW launched its Micro-Social Capital initiative – an innovation in the field of philanthropy created and coined by the GFW. With a NGO partner in Bolivia, the Micro-Social Capital program provides widows with a micro-capital investment to launch a micro-enterprise. The widow in return enters into a social contract with the GFW, promising to use profits from her enterprise to extend the virtuous cycle and money multiplier effect by hiring another widow as she expands her own activities.
Ultimately, empowered and profitable widows will make contributions with their profits to a social endowment fund, intended to support elderly widows in the community, provide funding for emergency or critical surgery, or help with education expenses of their children. The GFW is very proud of the success its widows in Bolivia are enjoying under the new program.
Dominican Republic
Following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, orphans created by the quake were sent to orphanages in the Dominican Republic. Orphanages in the Dominican Republic consequently doubled in size, with no increase to their operating budgets from the government. The GFW instituted a partnership with the orphanages, providing critical funding to allow them to hire WIDOWS to become caregivers, nurses, teachers, and cooks to the orphans. The program, welcomed by the orphans, the orphanage, and the Dominican community, is ongoing with great success.

Here are my absolute favorites of 2016! Patterns I've sewn, fabrics I bought, things I've learnt)) Hope it will be useful to you) Oh! And you can check all the things I've sewn (actually only the favorite ones, the patterns I can recommend for some reason) during this year in the Closet.
These are patterns I enjoyed sewing (great instructions, no erorrs) and wearing (got a lot of wear this year!!!) And some of them were repeated several times and others are in the plans for more versions 😉
I've learnt a lot from these patterns and applied my knowledge where I could to every pattern I've made after. Great instructions!!!
OMG! I had an amazing time shopping at … you probably guessed already!lol…Merchant and Mills (My Haul 1 and 2)! Yeahhhh This is my dream fabric shop, I think if they will add viscose and silk I'll 100% stop looking anywhere else. I'll become 100% Merchant&Mills client!)) lol Yeah I'm THAT obsessive! I know the prices are high, BUT there is quality in each step there, the customer service, the overall shopping experience, (I can find anything easily on their site!) cheap and fast shipping! What else I can ask for?! I can save a lil money and make some "fabric fiesta" for myself! Oh and I also enjoy sewing those fabrics and wearing them, there is something special about it…
You probably got tired with me talking about MM non-stop.. But hey! There is another shop I can totally recommend. I found it late this year, but loved so much and very fast! Huge fabric choices, great prints…guess? yeah it is my second obsession called LAFAB Tesutti) (my latest haul there)) Definitely shopping there in 2017!!!
There are several more I would mention, I shopped twice at MinervaCrafts, but both times I had problems, once the article was not in the optimum quality and the second time I didn't get the article I paied for… Of course this was resolved, but I needed to wait with my plans/projects because of that inconvenience… So I'm looking for another shop I can find a lot of sewing accessories and I think it can be Jaycott, I shopped there several (3 I think!) times too and everything was sent on time, came fast and no mistakes. If you have several favorites of your own, please share in the comments, I would love to expand my shopping list))
I can 100% recommend the course of sewing jersey I had back in April. I learnt there everything I applied later to all my jersey garments. The course is called Sewing With Knits: 5 Wardrobe Essentials with Mag McElwee. You get 5 PDF patterns with the class and she gets you through all of them in the videos! Great class and super happy I got it)))
That's it for 2016)) Happy celebration and wishing you an amazing 2017!!!

Voxengo is pleased to announce the release of Warmifier version 2, a valve warming/harmonic enhancing plugin for professional music and audio production applications, available in AudioUnit and VST plug-in formats (including native 64-bit support), for Mac OS X (v10.5 and later), and Windows computers.
Warmifier is a special plug-in which processes audio signal in a way similar to analog valve equipment. By using Warmifier you can achieve valve warming and "console" coloration effects.
Warmifier is applicable both to the complete mixes and to the individual instrument tracks. You have several parameters at your disposal that allow you to control the strength and the color of the effect. Also, you have several valve types to choose from. Each valve type offers a different overall coloration.
While the effect of this plug-in is definitely subtle, the difference it makes is similar to the difference in sound between different analog mixing consoles. In most cases it boils down to adding a subtle "sparkle", "presence", "warming" or "solidifying" effect to a sound track it was applied to.
Warmifier features:
- 7 valve types
- 2 processing modes
- Stereo processing
- Up to 8x oversampling
- 64-bit floating point processing
- Preset manager
- Undo/redo history
- A/B comparisons
- Contextual hint messages
- All sample rates support
- 40 ms compensated processing latency
Warmifier 2.0 added the following features since version 1 (version 2 can be used in projects alongside version 1):
- Multi-platform support
- Preset manager
- User interface re-scaling
- Plug-in instance naming
Introductory price of USD 49.95 will be effective for three weeks from now, which is 15% off the regular price of USD 59.95. Upgrading from the previous version costs USD 19.95 if previous version was purchased earlier than 180 days from now: otherwise the upgrade is free during this grace period. Demo version of Warmifier can be downloaded freely at the Voxengo web site: https://www.voxengo.com/product/warmifier/

Supplier: F5 Networks
Price: From £16,929 excluding VAT
Contact: www.f5.com
In the past few years, SSL VPNs have started to overtake IPsec VPNs as the most popular choice for securing remote communications with the head office.
F5 moved into this market in 2003 when it acquired uRoam and has since built up a solid portfolio of SSL VPN appliances. This latest version delivers support for Windows Vista and for session variables in policy creation and adds a new MSI Windows package for automating client deployment. More importantly, it now integrates with F5's BIG-IP traffic management appliances, allowing the global traffic manager to query FirePass controllers and redirect users to the most appropriate appliance.
The 2U-rack chassis comes equipped with a quad of copper Gigabit ports, plus a pair of SFPs supporting fibre Gigabit connections. All can be configured as LAN or WAN ports. Power fault tolerance is available as an option as the appliance can support a pair of built-in 400W redundant supplies. With dual 2GHz AMD Opterons and 8GB of memory, the appliance has plenty of power on tap and can support up to 2,000 concurrent users. Clustering multiple appliances together gives you up to 20,000 concurrent connections.
The appliance's web interface is easy to use and provides plenty of wizard-based help. You start by configuring your LAN and WAN port addresses and defining web services for the interfaces. The latter allows you to determine whether an interface supports user and administrative access and offers options to redirect incoming requests to another location.
To determine access to LAN resources users must be members of master groups that enforce authentication and general security settings and determine how the portal will look to the user. For testing we used the appliance's local user database, but it also supports Windows Domain, Active Directory, LDAP and Radius servers. Network resources are defined in groups, which can include anything from applications to file shares and legacy hosts to full access to all LAN resources. The advantages of using network objects to represent resources means any changes will be propagated across all master groups that use them.
Endpoint security allows you to scan remote systems to determine if they meet your requirements. The inspection process can be extremely stringent as you can check for operating systems, service packs, registry entries, application versions and so on. Pre-logon sequences bind all these together, and the visual policy editor tool makes light work of creating quite complex structures.
Subject to the inspectors selected, the pre-logon sequence downloads ActiveX controls or Java applications to check the remote system for required or undesirable components. Remedial action can be taken by installing a security update or asking users to makes changes and you can force actions such as an anti-virus scan. The protected workspace uses an ActiveX control to create a virtual environment where applications can run safely on a remote system whilst a virtual keyboard will circumvent keyloggers. Note that although F5 supports Windows Vista, there are limitations as this OS doesn't currently work with the protected workspace.
The 4100 works with all the main browsers, including IE, NetScape Navigator, Firefox, Mozilla and Safari. You can identify a device by the browser type when it connects which can be used to determine which user interface is loaded. Alternatively, you can create a pre-logon sequence that loads the most appropriate interface for the identified OS. Usefully, performance can be improved by using split-tunnelling to determine what local traffic will be handled by the FirePass proxy.
During testing the FirePass was straightforward to install. We used two subnets to simulate LAN and WAN networks and created a range of resources, including terminal services over RDP, file shares, direct network access via a full tunnel, intranet access and tunnels for non-web based applications. The portal is well-designed and easy to use.
To test non-web applications run locally we defined resources for accessing an FTP server using a third-party product. For any local app you need to define the precise location of the executable and the FirePass supports system variables. We found this worked fine, although we did note that browser-based FTP access will not display directories.
SSL VPNs are by far the superior solution for providing secure mobile access to corporate resources, and the FirePass delivers a highly versatile solution. The tidy management interface and combination of master and resource groups makes it simple enough to install and configure and its end-point security checks are particularly impressive.
Features: *****
Performance: *****
Ease of use: ****
Documentation: ****
Support: ****
Value for money: ***
Overall Rating: ****
For: Support for large user base, easily configured, versatile access policies, very strong end-point inspection and security, detailed reporting
Against: Vista has limited support for FirePass client and drive mapping
Verdict: The FirePass 4100 shows off the power of SSL VPNs with a well-specified appliance that's tough on client security yet easy to deploy and manage.

I've just returned from a trip to the northern English city of York – a place absolutely dripping in medieval history and I will be sharing some of the wonderful things I saw with you in upcoming blog posts.
Today – I'm going to share some gruesome evidence of battles fought in the 11th century between Vikings and Saxons and later on, Vikings and Normans. Strange to say that most of the leaders involved on all sides were related to each other – basically part of the northern European aristocracy. But in those violent times, that didn't stop them sticking axes in each others' heads.
Back in the 1970s, archaeologists started to find the remains of the Viking city of York – dating back to the 9th, 10th and 11th centuries. If you know your English history, then you'll be aware that after the Romans left in the early 400s, there were various waves of invaders including the Angles, Saxons and Jutes. The Saxons eventually established kingdoms like Mercia and Wessex only to see the whole eastern half of England gobbled up by fiersome Vikings from Scandanavia.
I went underground to look at the remains of the Viking city – well below today's modern street level – and snapped some skulls of those who fell in battle.

Careers and Outcomes
Where can leadership studies take students? Anywhere they want to go.
Students of the Jepson School pursue a wide variety of career paths and professions. A Jepson education fosters crucial skills employers are looking for in smart, well-versed students, enabling them to become successful employees and even bosses of their own companies. Jepson graduates pursue careers in business, education, health care, politics, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and more.
Some Jepson students choose to go to graduate or professional school immediately after graduation. Others seek advanced education after several years in the workforce. Many Jepson graduates are in management or leadership roles in their organizations.
Preparation for the Workplace
Competencies employers want include capacities for communication, critical thinking, ethics and social responsibility, self-managed learning, managing change, teamwork, leadership, and interpersonal skills. These competencies are gained in the Jepson School of Leadership Studies. Our courses develop skills employers say they need the most. Jepson graduates:
- examine the present by referring to the past
- master leadership theory
- translate theory into practice
- think critically
- listen actively
- communicate effectively
- imagine, create, and invent
- understand complex problems and see relationships between factors
- apply ethical reasoning to their actions and those of others
- mediate and negotiate conflicts
- understand how to lead change
Because classes are taught as seminars and often include group projects, Jepson graduates tend to have a high sense of cooperation and high-functioning organizational, time management, and presentation skills. They have a deep understanding of group dynamics, and they understand management ambiguity. Service-oriented, they see themselves as stewards of the organizations they join.

Additional info:
This occurs on dual-boot (Windows XP/Linux FC5) Sony Vaia portable VGN-A115B. In
addition, whilst message are scrolling on the konsole screen, on the KDE display
screen a "brightness 7%" message block occassionally flashes up on the screen.
As its format seems to be different to KDE/Fedora etc, I assume it is coming
from the low level BIOS? Apparently this portable has a light sensor that is
uses to control the screen brightness under Windows and I assume it is something
to do with that. I've tried disabling automatic control of brightness whilst
booted to Windows then booting to Linux, but to no avail.
A workaround is to put ACPI=off a a parameter in the grub conf file, which stps
the message. However it, of course, stops correct power down of portable.
A friend has sent me the following ubuntu link which appears to be the same problem.

Speaking of the Greenbelt, I've been riding the Milwaukee Orange One road off road a lot these past few weeks. With all the rain, it's been a muddy fun time and aside from the Hill of Life, I can make it through the whole thing without dismounting now, mostly because I have a good route down. Before Mark and Tina came to town, I took the Orange One out for a quick ride in the afternoon sun. I just love riding in this weather.
Check out more below!
I've been really stoked on this bike as of late. It's been exactly what I've wanted. Check out more at my Flickr!

Okay. So, sometimes you need to unwind a little. And sometimes that unwinding goes better with a little mindless entertainment. Perhaps that is why I downloaded a copy of the 1989 VHS videocassette Midget Madness.
Now, I remember when this video came out. It was EVERYWHERE. And it was selling for pretty cheap. It's one of those budget tapes that is only about a half hour long. I'm sure lots of you out there have picked up a copy of Goofy Sports Bloopers or Best of People Getting Hit in the Crotch With a Ball in the same bargain bin that this baby was usually in.
But I never bought it.
There's very few lame wrestling videos I have not purchased in my day. Very few. I still have a couple of copies of Rumble Fumbles after clearing out a local dollar store and selling them on the road at merch tables for $5 a piece. I even bought a few Beta wrestling videos I didn't even want when stores were starting to literally give them away for free. Just like I have never owned the original WWF Coliseum Home Video release of The Women of the WWF, I have never owned Midget Madness.
Figuring out how old I was back then would require doing math, which I am not going to do. My child does not need to see what his Daddy looks like when steam comes out of his ears. Whatever young age I was at, I was certainly a smart young man, as this tape with kill brain cells and steal time from you that you will never get back.
This video is a quickie release that was done in the dying days of the AWA. They use footage from maybe three different midget matches and repeat them over and over and over. Lets see the clips with war sound effects! Lets see them in slow motion! Lets hear more of the really annoying voiceover guy telling bad small people jokes.
Yes, this tape is completely devoid of any entertainment value whatsoever.
Now, I want to clear one thing up right now. I am not really a fan of traditional North American midget wrestling. I see it's place as a novelty item and a special attraction, but it's just not my thing. I do, however, have the brains to spot when the routine is done well, as I have seen it done firsthand by such midget competitors such as Cowboy Lang. This videocassette would have been more entertaining if they had just run the matches they used clips from bell-to-bell. The guys in the clips, like Little Tokyo and Karate Kid (who I have met), are more than capable of holding the viewers attention.
This tape is a waste. I commend 1989 Adam for steering clear of it. It would be more valuable to the human race after melting down the plastic so that it could be reformed into, say, a cookie cutter shaped like Dora the Explorer.
In closing, I will add that I have always appreciated the action provided by the Mexican mini luchadores. Those guys are AWESOME. On several occasions I have popped in a tape or DVD to show to non-wrestling fans, and they are completely sucked in by the fast-paced action and acrobatics. Those little athletes are nothing less than incredible. They, sadly, are not on this tape.

This is quite a long post. However, I need to give you all the information for you to understand how to help me.
I'm a 17 year old woman who has cystic acne on the sides of my face. My acne started when I was 13, and I thought I could treat it with face washes, etc, so I dealt with it for 5 years, thinking it would go away. Unfortunately, it's been 5 years now and it's just getting worse. I went to my doctor, who prescribed me with various topical ointments. They didn't work. Following these, he prescribed me with antibiotics- which I was on for a couple months- to no avail. Next, he prescribed me Alesse birth control. Prior to taking Alesse, I already had mild anxiety & a history of depression from my mum. When I was on Alesse, I was irritable, moody, depressed, and my moods seemed to swing from high to low very quickly- I was a mess. I also seemed to not want to be around people at all and couldn't go on the bus in the morning. It was that bad.
However, Alesse seemed to improve my acne dramatically after only a few days. But due to the crazy effect it had on my hormones, I had to get off it right away. So, my doctor prescribed me with another type of low-dose birth control pill- Yasmin. I haven't tried it, its just been sitting on my table because I'm worried about all of the side-effects and lawsuits and crap about this drug- I even heard people dying from taking it (it can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke for women).
I'm very conscientious about what I put in my body, and to be honest, I really don't want to go on any drugs that mess up my mood or health or have the possibility of doing so. Dermatologists and doctors say going on medication is the ONLY way to cure acne, but I believe otherwise!! Yesterday I went to a dermatologist who prescribed accutane (big surprise there), and she made it seem so wonderful & amazing... however, when I go online I see mixed reactions- some people having to go to the hospital from taking it due to CRAZY break-outs, others saying it ****** up their mood, and their health, and others saying the only side-effects they had was chapped lips.
I must also tell you- the dermatologist said I had "severe acne" due to the scars on the sides of my face. My doctor said it's mostly hormonal, because the BCP worked well with respect to the acne. I have an EXTREMELY oily face, and hair (apparently accutane works wonders for this).
I am determined NOT to put synthetic crap in my body. I do NOT want to take accutane NOR birth control, but right now I'm thinking of trying Yasmin... I don't know though.. I don't want to risk going through the crazy mood thing again. Apparently Yasmin is supposed to have no effect on your mood.. but I'm not too sure of that either, because, again, there are mixed reviews.
So, here I am- left without answers, unsure of which direction to go. Could someone PLEASE help me here, because I'm in university and it's about time I get rid of this acne (without affecting my precious health)!!
Do I take the birth control? or do I take accutane? OR is there another way?
After all, acne is a relatively small problem- and nature gave it to me- so why can't my body fix it??!

(This is actually something that I wanted to post up a long time ago, but just never got round to actually doing it. Haha! Muize, this is especially for you!!)
Our Hwang Bo recently celebrated her 29th birthday on the 16th. The club spent a week sincerely preparing for this, and although we were running out of time, thanks to the members and the staff we were able to finish this birthday event for her.
Firstly, we'd like to thank everyone for their contributions (sponsorship, birthday messages) that we have received towards this event. And as we were short of time for this one, the members who were unable to contribute this time round will definitely participate together in the next event right?
As we were unable to pass it to her on the 16th (her real birthday) due to the schedule, we had to pass the presents to her during the filming of "Infinite Girls" on the 17th instead. We prepared a basket of flowers, a cake, cookies, a necklace with her initials, message cards and others as well as cookies for the members and the 40 staff of 'Infinite Girls'.
As there are lots of parts that we have not mentioned, we are attaching photos together with this post.
First of all, a square cake with pretty purple cream flowers.
Next is the basket of flowers, we put a message written in a postcard type of card together with the flowers.
Next is a variety of packed cakes and cookies handmade by Sammi. It is a basket filled with sincerity, it was really beautiful.
And the initial necklaces and the cards with birthday wishes that everyone wrote and the fan vow. As she already has the necklaces bearing the words Hwang Bo, we made one using Estella. We also made necklaces for her cute dogs and cat.
We hung the birthday cards using purple ribbons.
We also prepared liquor which was practical and fun for Hwang Bo and everyone, 8 bottles of light soju with the words "Just like Hwang Bo".
Cookie set for the 5 members of 'Infinite Girls' and 2 PDs. (Created by Sammi)
Lastly, cookie packs for the 40 staff members.

The governor's real agenda, state legislators' back-room deals, who really benefits from laws and public policies — the machinations in Tallahassee bewilder and disillusion average Floridians. Instinctively, they know things are out-of-whack: They just don't seem to add up; but they can't say exactly why. (Here's a hint: Rick Scott is a Koch Brother from a different mother!)
Two numbers, 25 and 51, make everything crystal clear. The story behind each of them and the relationship between them tell you everything you need to know about Rick Scott and Florida Republicans, their misplaced priorities and why they are unfit for public office.
The 25 stands for Gov. Rick Scott's and the Legislature's thinking they can buy average Floridians for bubkes (Yiddish for "the least amount," literally goat droppings), while giving millions to corporations and the rich. As an election year payoff, the governor and state elected officials have rolled back the auto tag fee by $25. Imagine the excitement at the campaign confab when someone explained the idea killed two political birds at once: masquerading the guv as a tax-cutting populist and scoring political points for his re-election.
When the governor signed the bill into law, he used the occasion to blast Charlie Crist, his predecessor and likely Democratic opponent in November, for having raised the fee in 2009 during the Great Recession to help balance the state's imploding budget.
But, like all cheap tricks, it backfired: Scott neglected to mention that his own lieutenant governor (previously in the Legislature), the current Republican leaders of the Legislature, and most members of the state Legislature voted for the increase five years ago.
State Sen. Joe Negron has been quoted saying, "the reductions that will take effect through this bill actually go to families that get up every day and take their kids to school, that drive a truck to work." But Negron should have advised those families to find short cuts or carpool; their $25 savings won't pay for one tank of gas.

US public fears of China diminish: Pew poll
In 2012, 61 percent of Americans told Pew that the huge US trade deficit with China was a "very serious problem" but only 44 percent do so today
Last year, US voters chose a president whose stump speech denounced China for stealing American jobs and rigging trade -- but their own opinion of Beijing is improving.
According to a major Pew Research Center poll published Tuesday, some 44 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of China, up from only 37 percent a year ago.
Most Americans are still concerned about the amount of US debt held by China, about jobs crossing the Pacific and about alleged Chinese cyber attacks, the survey revealed.
But as President Donald Trump prepares to meet his Beijing counterpart Xi Jinping at a Florida summit this week, US views of the world's other great power are warming.
The Pew report suggests that as the US economy continues its own recovery from the post 2008 crash, public concern about its Chinese rival is diminishing.
For example, in 2012, 61 percent of Americans told Pew that the huge US trade deficit with China was a "very serious problem" but only 44 percent do so today.
Over the same period, concern about Chinese cyber attacks has risen, but the percentage of voters worried about losing jobs to China has dropped from 71 to 53 percent.
Trump made complaints about China's alleged currency manipulation and exploitation of lax US trade rules a mainstay of his economically nationalist campaign.
But US officials says that when he meets Xi at his Mar-a-Lago golf resort at week's end, security and the threat posed by North Korea will top the agenda.
According to Pew, just over a third of Americans see China as a military threat and 58 percent would support going to war to defend US allies like Japan or South Korea.
But 52 percent of Americans still see China as most of an economic threat than a military one.
The poll was conducted between February 16 and March 15 by randomly phone polling 1,505 adults. Pew Research estimates its margin of error at three percentage points.

From quick healthy snacks to family favourites
This is a great recipe for random snackers as it uses smoked haddock.
This is a great recipe for random snackers as it uses smoked haddock, a healthy fish that is low in fat and calories and rich in B vitamins, but often overlooked in favour of other fish. This recipe has a wonderful combination of flavours and takes only 15 minutes from start to finish. As the fish is smoked it is already quite high in salt so there is no need to add more; just season with pepper and perhaps a squeeze of lemon juice.
Place the fish in a frying pan and add a little freshly ground black pepper. Pour in the milk and bring to simmering point, then simmer gently for 12 minutes.Remove the fish to a plate using a fish slice, increase the heat and add the crème fraîche. Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly.Return the fish to the sauce, scatter in the chives and let it bubble for about 30 seconds.Serve with mashed potato and broccoli.

I stayed away from shows this weekend...too much money to be saved for impending trip to NYC this coming weekend. However, there was apparently a huge fiasco on Saturday, and, since I was not actually there, I will direct your attention to James' post on Metroblogging Atlanta if you want to know what went down at the 585. Something about serving alcohol without a permit/license. I'm sure no one saw that one coming...riiiight.
*Burt Bacharach's daughter committed suicide.
*Local Atlanta band, The Judies, have a couple of new songs posted on Myspace that you should go listen to. While I'm mentioning that, I'll also tell you that if I were to be in town on Friday, the only place I would be is the Loft to see them, Variac, Rouletta, and Ocha La Rocha. If you're into rock music that doesn't suck ass, you should go check this out. Best line-up I've seen in a long time. Seriously.
*R.E.M. will probably get the thumbs up from the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame today.
*Marilyn Manson was served divorce papers...on his birthday. I wonder if he even noticed.
That's all I got today. Sorry it's not more eventful, but it IS Monday, and time to get back to the grinding stone...

Sin City actress Brittany Murphy died Sunday at the age of 32.
According to The Hollywood Reporter and TMZ, Murphy reportedly went into cardiac arrest Sunday morning at her home in West Hollywood and was declared dead at 10:04am PST at Cedars Sinai Medical Center.
Murphy's mother discovered the actress, who was unconscious and in the shower, according to TMZ.
THR says a hospital spokesperson would not give the cause of death or provide any further information.
Murphy began acting on TV while still in her teens, appearing on shows such as Parker Lewis Can't Lose and Blossom. She later became the voice of "Luanne Platter" on King of the Hill. She also voiced a role in Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs.
Her big screen breakthrough role was in 1995's Clueless, and she subsequently appeared in films such as Girl, Interrupted, Don't Say a Word, Happy Feet, 8 Mile and Just Married. She will be seen posthumously in Sylvester Stallone's forthcoming action film The Expendables.
Ashton Kutcher, her costar in 2003's Just Married, posted this tweet on Twitter: "See you on the other side kid... 2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany's family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon."
Murphy is survived by her husband, screenwriter Simon Monjack, and her mother Sharon.

Dear all, I wonder if there are also any grants/awards for translations in foreign languages other than English (ie. French, Italian etc..), from Chinese of course:) Thanks, Ylenia

Hi Ylenia,
I'm sure there are some such sources of funding available, but I'm afraid that I, for one, don't know much about them! At this point pretty much everyone here is working exclusively in the English language, and while I'd love to expand our scope to Chinese-to-XXX translation in general, that probably won't happen without a lot more people jumping on board...
The Chinese sources of funding -- the China Book International program, perhaps the Writers Association -- are available for all languages.
Sorry that wasn't more helpful...
Are you aware of grants (or a source where to find such) for subsidizing translations of novels from English into any of the European languages?
Rainer, March 25, 2011, 11:06a.m.
Translating from English? No, I personally don't know too much about funding in that direction. It seems like most countries' funding programs only provide money for translating their own literature into foreign language…
For translations into German, try the Deutscher Übersetzerfonds: http://www.uebersetzerfonds.de/stipendien/bin/stipendien.php
Charlotte, November 20, 2011, 9:35p.m.
Hello, I am intersted ib this translation grant programm. Could you be so kind to expalin to me, who can apply for this programm? I mean, is this only English and Chinese translators or al translators can apply for it?
hijran zaidova, February 24, 2013, 5:53a.m.
Hijran -- which program do you mean? I think all the programs listed above are going to have their own particular requirements. You might have to check one by one…
would you know of any grant for translating a book on Translation Studies from German into English?
Sumedha Desai, July 8, 2013, 8a.m.
May I know if I can contribute in literature translation from Chinese to English here?
Rani Singh, June 7, 2016, 5:29p.m.
I want to translate one great English book into Chinese. how can I get a funding?
Brent, November 28, 2016, 5:42p.m.
Hi Brent, we really only deal with Chinese books being translated into other languages. For funding for translations going the other way, you'll probably have to look outside of China...

Dear Sirs,
I am in the process of translating Chinese versions of Xi Sui Jing into English. Is this the kind of project that you fund?
Thank you,
Kevin Siddons, Ed.D.
Kevin Siddons, September 22, 2017, 9:04a.m.
Hi Kevin,
We don't actually provide funding at all, that's not our role. But sometimes we can help advise on getting funding. Does the book already have a prospective publisher in the US?
Eric, thanks for responding.
No publisher yet. We are just translating the documents we have and trying to secure additional historical documents.
So far, I'm doing this out of pocket. I can share what we have translated so far if you are interested.
Kevin Siddons, September 22, 2017, 11:46a.m.
Hi Kevin,
I'd be curious to see it, though to be honest I doubt there's a whole lot I can do to help. You can email me at my first name @ this site's domain name.
Hi, I am Xintian Wang and I am a student from Boston University, studying Chinese-English Translation. I am interested in publishing some of my translation works on Pathlight. My translation professor, Zhou Xiaoyang had helped Pathlight and she recommended me to publish some of my work here. My works include "The House under the Maple Tree" from Xi Murong, "The Bell and Drum Tower" from Liu Xinwu and some other short essays. I had some work that won the translation prize in our school Please reach out to me if you are interested. Thanks!

I have been wanting to re-read The Daily 5 for awhile now. I have been implementing the Daily 5 in my classroom for about 2 years. I initially began when I was teaching 2nd grade and like Gail and Joan write about in the book, I was SO exhausted with grading "busy work." I took a long, hard look at what I was teaching my students and then opted for change (and an easier way)! I am so excited to be joining this book study with other teacher bloggers around the country! **Please note that the following is only my opinion and thoughts on how I implement D5 in my classroom. These thoughts and ideas are not endorsed by the 2 sisters or their publisher Stenhouse.
1. On pages 4-6, the authors present two different pictures of their classrooms. In thinking about and reflecting on your own practice, how would you characterize your literacy block? Does it look more like the first or second scenario, or is it somewhere in between? How will you change it?
My classroom used to look like the first scenario presented in the book. This was during my first 4 years of teaching… You could enter my classroom and see me doing Guided Reading groups, but I was being interrupted, there were children off task, etc. I was spending SO much time creating centers and grading the "busy work" I was giving my students. I felt like the children had to be "doing something" or else they might look like they weren't engaged in learning. Surely just reading a book wasn't enough!
I purchased The Daily 5 and began implementing it with my 2nd graders during the last half of the school year in 2011. I. WAS. AMAZED. My students totally floored me with all of the reading and writing they were doing! There were children reading with partners, children writing chapter books together… I could see so much learning going on and the students were all on task! Of course, we spent a good deal of time practicing behaviors, but for the most part I noticed that the students took ownership in their learning and they would encourage others to make good choices too.
To improve on what I've already been implementing with my students, I would like to set up my Daily 5 literacy block just as Gail and Joan mention in the book. I would love to set aside a 2 hour block of time and combine my reading/writing instruction. During this past school year I had two separate time frames for each subject area. I would love to implement the Daily 5 in it's true form.
2. The typical teacher is very busy having students do lots of different activities. How is what you are having students do now in your classroom creating quality readers and writers?
In my experiences, I have found that when tasks are meaningful for the students, they learn more and this is what the Daily 5 helps to provide. When observing my students complete their Daily 5 activities, I see students reading independently from their book bags with just right books, a group of students reading a Reader's Theater script together, a group of students listening to reading using headphones and a CD player, students writing in their journals, creating lists, or writing letters to friends and family, and students working to create words and practice word families or other spelling skills. I can hear the encouragement my students provide for one another when one of them says, "You did a great job reading that part! Now let's read this poem together!" I know that these experiences are creating lifelong readers and writers because not only do my assessments show growth, but my students are learning to enjoy reading and writing and it is a task that they look forward to each day.
3. What sets the Daily 5 structure apart from what you are doing in your classroom?
The Daily 5 structure is wonderful for my students because it provides them with meaningful reading and writing opportunities. The students have freedom to choose their own activities and work on goals that they have set for themselves. They are not limited to a worksheet or basal reader… they have an abundance of tools and resources from which to construct their own knowledge, work with peers, and develop a lifelong love for reading and writing.
Listed below are some resources that I've created to help keep my students organized! I've also included my parent packet that helps explain literacy activities and ways that parents can help their child at home. Don't use Daily 5? Don't worry! The documents below were created with all classrooms in mind and will work with any balanced literacy program!

A brief description of the checkerboard cichlid.
The checkerboard cichlid (Dicrossus filamentosus) is a small fish that ranges through Colombia and Venezuela, from the Rio InÃrida to Maripa and in the Rio Orinoco. It is also found in parts of the Brazilian Rio Negro where it can be found in small forest streams, where the bottom is covered with leaf litter and a tangle of branches and roots. In this environment aquatic plants are a rarity, apart from the areas near the banks. This dwarf cichlid lives in schools and larger groups, usually staying above the thick layer of fallen leaves, in which it will hide when faced with a threat.
The checkerboard cichlid grows to an adult size of up to 4 inches long. Males are slightly larger than females and possess a highly attractive "lyretailed" caudal fin. Females are smaller with less color, possessing a rounded caudal fin.
The checkerboard cichlid should be maintained in an aquarium of 20 gallons or larger. Lighting should be subdued and there should be plenty of hiding places in the form of driftwood, rocks, and leaf litter (CS706). The addition of a dark substrate (CS6631) and floating plants is also recommended.
The checkerboard cichlid prefers a water temperature of 81°F to 86°F, a pH of 4.5 to 7.0, and a hardness of 1 to 5°H. Breeding requires a pH of 4.5 to 5.8 and a hardness of 1°H or lower.
The checkerboard cichlid is a peaceful fish that should be maintained in a group of 10 to 12 individuals. Good tank mates include smaller tetras, such as neon or cardinal tetras, small rasboras, other peaceful dwarf cichlids, small, peaceful barbs, Corydoras sp. and smaller Loricariids. Avoid any fish that are overly aggressive or rambunctious.
Checkerboard cichlids will usually accept dry foods, especially sinking pellets (NL1012). Vary their diet with a flake containing spirulina (AL165) and plenty of frozen foods. To bring Checkerboards into breeding condition, live foods are highly recommended. Probiotics (AL169) will also improve overall health and longevity.

A lot of individuals are not accustomed to the law. The typical person's understanding of the regulation is more than most likely limited to just what they see on television or go through in newspapers and publications.

If you are experiencing criminal fees, or if you are inspection by legislation enforcement your lawful circumstance is completely various.

Architects of Air: Katena
At first glance, Katena might look like an ordinary inflatable with an unusually complex and oversized structure. But when they walk inside, visitors soon realize this is an entirely different experience. They enter a world apart, a world of interconnecting tunnels and domes saturated with light and color, called a luminarium. This video will take your students on a virtual tour of one luminarium that was featured at the Cincinnati BLINK festival. They will learn how the design team of Architects of Air blends geometry, art, and architecture to create a pneumatic, or air-filled, structure in which form must follow function.

Chompers is a trio of abstract coyotes with levers to lift and lower their heads and open their mouths so that they can appear to be howling at the moon. They were built by the artists at Opera-Matic, a neighborhood art group from Chicago that specializes in community engagement. Opera-Matic was invited to bring Chompers to the BLINK festival in Cincinnati. The BLINK festival was a celebration of light and art with a focus on interactivity. The "coyotes" were a big hit with festival-goers, especially children. They are mounted on recycled ice cream bikes for easy mobility in parades.
Grades: K-12

I wasn't able to ride last Sunday. I was supposed to do a few loops around Aguinaldo but I woke up late and I can't squeeze in a ride anymore in the morning because I had to drive the bossing to Harrison Plaza for the Azkals match against Sri Lanka.
I thought after driving her there that I could do a quick lunch and gear up for Timberland, but it rained hard so I watched the game on TV instead.
In my desperate attempt to have a few kilometers in my legs, I did a pathetic loop - from Pioneer, I went down to C5, took a right turn to Kalayaan, took another right turn and ended up at J. P. Rizal. From there I went straight and took the new bridge on Estrella and ended up in Boni.
That's roughly 10 kilometers, but I'm not exactly proud of it.

In Mexico you will see the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017
On August 21 there will be a total solar eclipse and will be partially visible in Mexico and northern South America.
The eclipse can be seen totally in the United States, is the first of its kind to be recorded in this country in the last 70 years. Although in 1972 there was one that could be seen in Canada and in 1991 another that could be seen from Baja California Sur, in the United States it had not been possible to appreciate one of total way.
In Mexico we can appreciate it in a partial way. It will not be until 2024 that Mexico can see a total eclipse of the sun (although it will only be seen in all its splendor in the north of the country).
The eclipse of August 21, 2017 will produce a small "night" of almost three minutes, will last 2:41 at its peak, which will be in the state of Illinois. Although the maximum night will be in Carbondale (Illinois), the entire American Midwest will have a lapse of darkness.
In Mexico, the eclipse can be seen in all the states of the republic, only with different degrees of partiality.
50% -70%: Baja California, Sonora, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Nuevo León.
25% -50%: Tamaulipas, Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, Zacatecas, Durango, San Luis Potosí, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Veracruz, Hidalgo, Puebla, Tlaxcala, Mexico City, Mexico City, Tabasco, Chiapas, Campeche, Yucatan, Quintana Roo.
5% -25%: Colima, Morelia, Guerrero, Oaxaca.
Remember that it is dangerous to look directly at the sun during a solar eclipse, to appreciate it is recommended to use special lenses.
You should never try to see an eclipse with binoculars, telescopes, any type of glasses, sunglasses, smoked glass, polarized filters or exposed color films. None of these instruments will adequately protect your eyes.
Although you can see the eclipse with these instruments (because they block the spectrum of visible light), nothing will help you block the invisible light that is causing damage to your eyes.
In order to use your telescope, camera or binoculars you will have to use a special sunscreen (they have to be of the exact make and model of your instruments because if the filter does not fit or if used improperly there may be permanent damage to your eyes).

CNET First Look
Pharos Traveler 137While better designed than the Traveler 127, the Pharos Traveler 137 still suffers from performance and navigation issues.
[ Background music ] >> Bonnie Cha: Hi I'm Bonnie Cha Senior Editor at CNET.com and today we're taking a first look at the Pharos Traveler 137. This is a GPS enabled smartphone that's a lot like the Traveler 127 which we looked at earlier except it has a full touch screen design. The look of the phone actually reminded me a lot of the Samsung Omnia. It's a pretty attractive phone with the rounded edges and slim profile. The touch screen measures 3.5 inches diagonally and shows 65,000 colors out of 480x800 pixel resolution. It's really sharp and bright and also the larger screen size and the built in accelerometer definitely makes this a better suited device as far as navigation compared to the Traveler 127. Pharos also spruces up the Traveler 137 with the SPB mobile shell interface. Instead of sticking it with the usual Windows Mobile UI this gives you 3 home panels. The center panel gives you access to your most important information like appointments, messages, time and weather. If you swipe to the left you'll get a panel with all your apps and then the right panel shows your multimedia features. Also along the bottom of every panel you'll get this 1 touch access to your favorite's page and a button that lets you scroll through more panels in 3D carousel view. There's a lot going on here obviously but once you get used to it and figure it all out I think it provides a nicer user experience than the traditional Windows Mobile interface. Unfortunately that's about where the highlights of this phone ends. The Pharos Traveler 137 comes with navigation software called Osteous [assumed spelling] Smart Navigator and all the maps come pre loaded on an included micro SD card. So the technical advantage of this phone is that you don't have to add a location based service and pay a fee to get maps or voice guided directions which is great but the bad news is that the traveler 137 wasn't a very good navigator. To try out the GPS capabilities one of the tests we use is to plot a course from the Golden Gate Bridge area to CNET's downtown headquarters here in San Francisco and when I did that with the traveler 137 I noticed that it missed a major turn in the route somewhere. Luckily I knew where I was going but knowing that it missed such an important step I wouldn't really feel comfortable using this as a navigator. Also, the software isn't very well laid out and the menus get a bit confusing and clunky as you dive deeper into options. As far as the phone and personal organizer, the Pharos Traveler 137 offers a lot. You get Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and support for T-Mobiles 3G band and also as a Widows Mobile device you get full email support, Office Mobile Suite, and it includes some extras like opera mobile web browser and a Facebook app. Once again though the performance was a problem. Call quality wasn't all that clear [ background music ] >> and more than that the smartphone was just really slow. I think if Pharos can make some improvements in that department the device can certainly appeal to road warriors but for right now I just don't think it's worth the $600 asking price. I'm Bonnie Cha this has been your first look at the Pharos Traveler 137. ^M00:03:03 [ Music ]
