Trevor Burgess was upfront about his sexuality on the first resume he ever put together after college. And when it came time for his company to file documents to go public, he again made no secret about being gay.
Burgess, 41, just became the first openly gay CEO of a publicly traded bank in the U.S., as first noted by the New York Times.
"I've been openly gay since I was 19 years old," Burgess, the CEO of C1 Bank, told The Huffington Post in an email Friday morning.

While corporate America on the whole has evolved to be pretty gay-friendly in recent years, with more and more companies offering health benefits to same-sex couples and protection against discrimination, there are still no openly gay CEOs at any of the 1,000 biggest companies in the U.S. (though the term "openly" has been the subject of some controversy.)
Burgess made history on Thursday morning when he rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange to kick off the public offering of shares in C1 Financial, the parent company of a small regional bank that has 29 locations in Florida, a state that doesn't recognize same-sex marriages. Burgess indicated his husband, Gary Hess, owns shares in the company in its IPO filing with the SEC.
"I rose through the ranks because I was really good at what I did and that's the real lesson," Burgess told HuffPost. He worked for 10 years as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley where he was one of the first openly gay managing directors.
Part of what's stopping LGBT people from rising in the ranks is the lack of gay people at the top, experts say.
"When people see that 90 percent of companies have nondiscrimination policies in place, that's great. But to me, a better indicator, is, how many senior leaders are there who are gay and who are out?" Todd Sears, a former banker who founded the LGBT leadership organization Out Leadership told HuffPost in June. "If LGBT people look around and they don't see other LGBT people who are out, if they don't hear inclusive messages, they're not going to feel valued."
But Burgess thinks the tides are turning.
"It's only a matter of time before openly gay people, people like me who have been authentic their entire adult lives, rise through the ranks to the C-suite," he told HuffPost. "We have great examples in basketball, soccer, football and many other walks of life and now the [New York Stock Exchange]!"
Other banks were quick to congratulate Burgess.
"Leaders who feel comfortable being open about their sexual orientation are more productive and engaged, which directly impacts the success of their organizations," Irene Dorner, the president and CEO of HSBC, said in a statement released by Out Leadership. "HSBC offers sincere congratulations to Trevor on leading the way with this IPO, and our best wishes for continued success."
(Hat tip: New York Times)
Clarification: Language has been added to the post to reflect that Burgess is the first openly gay CEO of a publicly traded bank in the U.S., not in the world.

Lunchtime Lectures: Notes to Self: The Self-Portrait in the Age of Social Media
Self-portraits taken using smart phones or other consumer-based devices—or "selfies"— have become ubiquitous visual forms that proliferate on social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr. Popular discourses have largely pit the selfie, which is often thought of as a symptom of a narcissistic society, against the self-portrait, which is more associated with art. Derek Conrad Murray, associate professor in the History of Art and Visual Culture Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and author of Queering Post-Black Art: Artists Transforming African-American Identity after Civil Rights, will explore this debate in connection with the exhibition This Is Not a Selfie.
Lunchtime Lectures take place on the first Wednesday of the month at noon in the Charlotte Wendel Education Center. Visitors are welcome to bring food and beverages.

Yearly since 2001 we've picked what we name the 10 Breakthrough Technologies. Folks typically ask, what precisely do you mean by breakthrough"? It's a reasonable query—some of our picks haven't but reached widespread use, whereas others could also be on the cusp of changing into commercially out there. What we're really searching for is a technology, or perhaps even a set of applied sciences, that will have a profound effect on our lives.
Microsoft, which has its personal AI-powered cloud platform, Azure, is teaming up with Amazon to offer Gluon, an open-supply deep-learning library. Gluon is meant to make building neural nets—a key technology in AI that crudely mimics how the human mind learns—as straightforward as constructing a smartphone app. Optimistic assumptions are made by proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and singularitarianism , which view technological growth as generally having beneficial results for the society and the human condition. In these ideologies, technological development is morally good.
Yeah. I've thought for a very long time that we have been given this false choice, When you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to concern." That is not the purpose. I favor the way Amanda says it within the movie: It isn't that I've something to cover, it is that I've nothing I want you to see." Cambridge Analytica and Facebook are now giving people pause as a result of they've given themselves up for nothing. It is all for comfort, and maybe persons are thinking twice about that. Perhaps that is an element to this. It is a cautionary story.

I was nominated to participate in this blog hop by K.C. Finn, a brilliant author who managed to get two of her books on my Favorite Reads list over the last year – The Book of Shade was the first to hit my list and The Mind's Eye followed not too long after. I really must find time to crack open her Caecilius Rex series, too, but I need to focus on the main point of this post… my writing.
My Writing Process
What am I working on right now?
I have two books partially written, but my focus is strictly on my untitled post-apocalyptic zombie novel. Is it just me or is coming up with a title the worst part of the writing process? I dislike it as much as most authors' aversion to writing blurbs. I began writing this untitled piece the most recently of the two. The other book is a paranormal mystery that I started in 2012. I'm not sure if it will ever see the light of day, but you know… never say never and all that jazz.
How does my work differ from others of its genre?
While the horror and post-apocalyptic genres are flooded with an overwhelming amount of stories, some great and some not, I believe that each new cast of characters provides a new perspective to the post-apocalyptic world. I embed a portion of my soul into the development of my characters and the decaying world around them, and I hope that readers will be able to recognize that. While I may be only one snowflake in the middle of a post-apocalyptic blizzard, I am unique and so my stories shall be too.
Why do I write what I write?
I am obsessed with a post-apocalyptic world. And zombies, of course. My twisted mind is always conjuring up "what if" scenarios and most of those ideas end up on paper. I write what I write because it's what pours from my mind and out through my fingers.
How does my writing process work?
My writing process is still a work in progress of its own. I really considered myself a "pantser" for the longest time, but after a while I realized something significant. When I do what most people have told me to do over the years — Just write! — I get stuck easily. I end up hitting a wall and my WIP skulks off to a corner of my mind until it's completely forgotten. With this book I am trying something new — planning.
I started out by putting every idea I had in my head for this story down on paper (well, not real paper, of course). I wrote until I got stuck, like I used to, but instead of tossing it aside I began writing character sheets, which helped me get to know each one of my characters intimately. I also set up a brainstorming board to jot down random possibilities, even if it's something that pops into my head as I'm falling asleep. I learned quickly that I will NOT remember these ideas in the morning, no matter how much I swear I will. Both of those new aspects of my writing process have helped me further the story in ways I never imagined. Why haven't I been doing that all along? I could have written several books by now if I had tried that years ago! Everything happens for a reason, I guess. I am also going to take a crack at crafting a timeline in the very near future. So, that's where I'm at — trying to navigate this writing vessel down a path of least resistance with a most favorable outcome. Wish me luck!
Meet the talented folks I nominated to carry on this hop!
My first novel, UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD, is a mixture of post-apocalyptic, zombie, women's and suspense fiction. I'm currently working on the sequel, AND AFTER.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I now live in Oregon with my family and, in my opinion, not nearly enough supplies for the zombie apocalypse.
But I'm working on it.

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom; she has three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife; even though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. Her favorite word starts with f, ends with k, and there a uc in there. Just saying. From roots in Houston, to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's sleeping, cleaning, or designing graphics. But let's be honest, she's mostly writing.

Services Offered | Pricing
Our favorite; because we can help the greatest number of people and horses by teaching them in a clinic group. We limit the size of the group to allow both the benefits of group setting learning, where we can all interact and learn from not only our own horse and owner interactions but those of our fellow participants, yet small enough that there is plenty of one on one instruction. We keep it a small enough group that Ted and his assistants can keep up with helping any students that are not able or confident to execute any of the exercises initially. (For situations such as a student that is physically limited and/or having difficulties with an exercise, or maybe is on a colt and is nervous to canter their horse themselves, etc. etc.)
Clinics can be customized to address the concerns and needs of the participants but in general, or most commonly, they are three full days or five evenings and one full day. Our goal is that everyone leaves with a good bunch of tools (exercises) which they have learned to use well and which increase their safety and their confidence with their horses. Pricing for standard confidence and control clinics as outlined above is $350 per participant and horse. Colt starting or other customized clinics are priced according to the particulars (location and number of days and participants) of the actual clinic. At all clinics and/or private lessons each horse and handler team is allowed a helper to audit without charge. Additional spectators are $10 per day to observe.
We hold clinics at our property near Parma, Idaho or anywhere a group of people wants us to come, assuming that adequate facilities exist. Extra costs associated with traveling to a clinic location will be added on to the clinic fees.
They are essentially like a clinic but with a smaller group of students and can be more tailored to individual participants as there are one to three students at a private lesson. The cost is $300 per day at our property with a minimum two day requirement. We allow two days as we understand it can be very difficult for our clients to dedicate three days in a row but we do recommend three days minimum as we believe that to be far more beneficial. These are a fantastic option for folks who want a three day clinic but need to schedule it on their own time frame. All you have to do is get two friends to go in with you and the lesson cost is exactly the same as a clinic! (Note - for out of area lessons you will also need to pay for Ted's travel and accommodations. But - we're not fussy, put us up and feed us and we're good! :) )
We take in very limited numbers of outside horses for training. The cost is currently $1600 with feed, fly spray, etc. and hoof care supplied by the owner. Typically the training period is six weeks, although there is some variation in how long each horse takes to get through the program. A horse brought here for training will learn all of the exercises in the fundamental level of the Downunder Horsemanship Method. We are supportive of barefoot horses and will gladly use easy boots (and we do have a competent barefoot trimmer here!) if boots are provided. We require horse owners bringing a horse to agree to spend a day going over the training the horse has received upon pick up of their horse. Typically this takes about six hours. Some clients choose to spend shorter work sessions spread over several days to go over their horses training. This type of option is fine, we just want to make sure you know what your horse has learned and how to use it.
We now offer owners of horses that were trained here a fifty dollar discount on clinic participation fees if bringing a Foundations and Beyond trained horse to a clinic.
Beth Nicholes (one of Ted's daughters) gives lessons for your young horse handlers! She is currently accepting students ages 6-13. Beth is more than just a riding lesson instructor, she is also teaching her students about horses; why they behave the way they do and how we need to interact with them to have safe, fun partnerships with our equines. She also teaches her students basic riding skills and several groundwork exercises. Private lessons are available at $25 an hour and can be scheduled at your convenience (at least a week in advance). They can also be scheduled however often you wish. Lesson horses and ponies are provided. For more information or to schedule a lesson, contact Beth at 541-823-6506 or by e-mail at email@example.com .
Terrence Nicholes (one of Ted's sons) is a natural hoofcare provider. He has been studying and applying Pete Ramey's methods for four years on both rehabilitation and maintenance cases.
The cost for a set-up trim is $45 (within an hour of Parma) or $40 if you bring the horse to our facilities.
The cost for a maintenance trim is $30 (within an hour of Parma) or $25 if you bring the horse to our facilities.
To set up a trim call or text Terrence at 208-800-4380 or email at email@example.com

The Economy of India is the seventh-largest in the world by GDP and it is the third-largest by purchasing power parity. The agricultural sector is the largest employer in India's economy and India ranks second worldwide in farm output. Agriculture plays an integral role in the Indian economy. India has the second-largest amount of arable land, after the US, with 52% of total land under cultivation. However, agricultural output lags far behind this country's potential.
With an increase in the population, there is a need to produce more food with the available soil and water resources. With changing times and development of new technologies, farmers can now produce more, reduce wastage and conserve valuable natural resources and actually practice sustainable agriculture. Thanks to the development of the IT sector, sharing of information or exchange of knowledge from people and resources is possible through SMS or WhatsApp. Technology has enabled farmers to gain information about their farm. Such valuable information helps in taking calculated decisions for the advancement of crop yield in the agricultural sector.
How is technology transforming rural India?
MyFarmInfo.com is an agriculture information system to help farmer maximize their income by providing them ways to increase their yield and help them get the best price for their produce. Better information increases yield, drives efficiency and improves the lives of farmers in India.
Mandi stabilises price
Farmers have been exploited by intermediaries such as money lenders who compel them to sell their produce for an extremely low price. With the Mandi section in My Farm Info, farmers will have the opportunity to find out the mandi prices for the nearby mandies available. They can now choose the optimal mandi from where they can get the best price for their crop.
Understanding Crop Feasibility
Climate plays a major role in crop growth. Sunshine, rainfall, temperature also plays a vital role in the quality of the production. My Farm Info has a crop feasibility section where farmers can find the feasibility of growing any crop on their farm. But choosing to produce crops that are suitable for that piece of land, farmers can maximize their yield and also increase their profitability
Identifying and preventing Crop Diseases
The total estimated loss in economic product per annum due to crop diseases has been estimated to be 13.2% in India. A crop like Maize alone can have over 61 types of diseases. Good agronomic practices can help in reducing the incidence of certain disease groups.
The crop management section in My Farm Info provides 10 years of historical data that enable farmers to find the disease probability for their crops. With the use of sophisticated algorithms, farmers can take calculated decisions on the best suitable crop to grow in their land for better yields.
The tool's forecast advisory provides early warning of disease infestation for farmers to take preventive or proper measures to minimize their losses.
Farm Management
What if there was someone who could provide expert advice on farming? With the growth of technology, the world has become small and connectivity, a breeze. The farm management section in My Farm Info provides regular feedback, updates and valuable information on nutrition, optimal mandi, NPK application and so on. It is also easy to reach experts on any feedback that farmers may need using WhatsApp on their mobile phones.
All farmers have to do is to save their farm details on a GPS interface and let the experts help them.
Crop Scheduling
To successfully schedule a crop, farmers have to decide the week of the year that their crop will be sold, and then work backward to determine the date of seed sowing or planting. Each stage of a crop cycle needs close monitoring. Simple crop scheduling tools helps farmers reduce their time spent on planning.
Farmers can also use the crop scheduler to help them keep track of all stages of crop life cycle. Farmers will receive messages according to the schedule regarding upcoming crop stages. Forecast and disease alerts will also be sent through SMS making scheduling easy and less o a hassle. Crop scheduling helps farmers to schedule their crops, keep records and manage their farm.
Moisture Sensors
Moisture sensors let the farmers know about the level of the moisture present at the certain depth of the soil. This gives more precise control of water and other inputs like fertilizer to improve yield.
Weather Updates
What if you know beforehand if your farm is prone to floods? Farmers can also use the Flood and wind risk pages in My Farm Info to find the impact of flood and the wind on their produce. With timely and accurate weather forecasts, the farmers are able to either plan their activities or respond to changes accordingly.
Technology has made its way into agriculture and has shown a positive impact. It has helped farmers better decision making, planning, socially connected with experts and are able to utilize their resources optimally to improve the quality and volume of crop production at low cost.

Hurricane Irene 2011: New York City Nightmare [VIDEO]
Hurricane Irene 2011 Path Seen from Space [PHOTO]
Hurricane Irene is set to unleash its fury in New York City, which hasn't seen a hurricane this big since 1938.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg has called for mandatory evacuations in some low-lying zones, and residents are either fleeing or stocking up and preparing for what may be the worst storm in years.
If a storm were to occur, it could be catastrophic, given the population density in the Northeast, Donald Cresitello of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said.
What are some of the most catastrophic and devastating effects that Hurricane Irene that could bring?
Cresitello explained some worst-case scenarios:
- Wall Street would be seven feet under water.
- John F. Kennedy International Airport would be covered with 20 feet of water.
- Seawater could be pushed into lower Manhattan and pour through the Holland and Brooklyn Battery tunnels.

Hello again and welcome to another edition of The Bridge. As I write this, our high school students are eagerly counting down the minutes to tonight's Valentine's Dance. Thank You to our parent and staff volunteers who helped to set up, decorate and chaperone the event. So far this school year the dances have been big hits and I expect another fun-filled night this evening. Our staff chaperones will have cameras at the ready and we hope to have photos posted online next week. Speaking of photos, we have our first batch of pictures from last month's Washington, D.C. trip posted in our online Photo Galleries. As I noted last week, there are literally thousands of pictures to sort through, so check back next week as more will be posted in the days ahead.
While there was big news in Washington this week about the postal service stopping Saturday delivery, we're still using good ol' fashioned snail mail to get some important documents to you, so be sure to keep checking your mailbox. This week, invitations were sent for next month's Stanbridge Steps Out dinner dance. Pam has more about this event on her SPA Spot page, so be sure to click over and read all about it. I will add that this has become an annual tradition and offers parents and guardians the chance to enjoy a purely social evening with our staff and board members, as well as current and alumni Stanbridge parents. The RSVP date is right around the corner (February 20), so please respond promptly. Also, the second quarter report cards are completed and will be in the mail next week. There are no set conference days this quarter, so if you wish to talk to a teacher about your student's grade, performance, or workload, please contact the teacher directly via email. You can find a directory of teacher emails in our website's Teachers section.
In addition to Valentine's Day next week, we have a few other events of note highlighting the calendar:
• On Wednesday, February 13 there will be a SPA meeting at 8:30 a.m. in Hayden Hall. As always, all current Stanbridge parents and guardians are welcome (and encouraged) to attend.
• On Thursday, February 14, SPA volunteers will be visiting campus to host their annual "Soup From the Heart" lunch. This is an event where parents bring various homemade soups and salads and serve lunch to our staff. The food is always delicious and all of the teachers I've talked to are looking forward to it this year, so a preemptive Thank You to those of you involved. Also on Thursday, we will be holding a special Valentine's Day-themed assembly for all students in the afternoon. The assembly will feature fun and games and students will play along together in their "constellation groups," allowing them to socialize and intermingle with fellow students and teachers from different divisions. The students had a blast when we did this for Turkey Bingo in November, so we expect another exciting afternoon next week as well.
• Finally, don't forget that Friday, February 15 is our last day of school before Winter Break. Students have the week of February 18-22 off and school will resume on Monday, February 25. Parents of high school freshmen and sophomores, please note that the Monday when we return is the start of your student's Spring Experiential trip. For scheduling purposes, the trip was moved to the end of February, but the experience will still be a rewarding one: The students will be going to a three-day "leadership summit" at Hidden Villa Ranch in Los Altos. There, the group will learn valuable social life skills, as well as see how a real working ranch operates, with an emphasis on sustainable energy and organic farming. Full details of the trip, along with the necessary permission forms and packing list are posted on the Forms page. Please make sure that if your student is going on the trip, their forms are returned to the main office by Wednesday, February 13th.
Last, but not least, as our headline above teased, the deliveries this week concern more than just the mail. Jay may be back from his paternity leave, but the Stanbridge wing at the delivery room remains busy: Early Friday morning, February 8, our Speech & Language Pathologist Kari Schaiman gave birth to her newborn son Jacob Paul. We are happy to report that mom, dad and Jacob are doing great and we wish them all the best over these next few weeks of new parenthood. Kari is scheduled to return in a few weeks, and in the interim Tina Ester will be handling her speech and language duties here on campus. Better have your friends book their school tours now; the Stanbridge Class of 2031 is filling up fast!
Have a great weekend.

Chennai, India (PRWEB UK) 7 May 2015
• Successfully raises funds through QIP to fund expansion into global markets and reduce debt and interest cost
- Company is investing in building the right workplace to attract the best talent to work on developing cool innovative products
- HDFC Mutual Fund, Amansa Holdings, Goldman Sachs, Jo Hambro, Axis MF are some of the leading institutional investors who have invested in the company
To fight the mighty Goliaths of ERP, India-headquartered Enterprise Cloud Software Company, Ramco Systems has raised capital around USD 52mn (Rs 325 crs) through Qualified Institutional Placements (QIP). The company which recently published its unaudited financial results for FY 2015, had announced net profit after tax of USD 2.09m (Rs 12.7cr) for the year on a consolidated basis. The fresh infusion of funds is aimed at retiring a substantial portion of debts, supporting operational expenses to attract the right talent and enhancing marketing efforts in global markets.
With Enterprise Cloud market touted to be among the fastest growing segments, Ramco has been investing in expanding and building capabilities to address global needs. Leading global and domestic institutional players have picked up stake in the company through this QIP. Ramco believes that raising funds at current valuation levels would be in the long term interests of the Company and would allow the Company to deleverage. Consequent to QIP, Public shareholding of Ramco shares has increased from 30.9% to 42.9%.
Commenting on the fund raising, Mr. P R Venketrama Raja, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Ramco Systems, said, "Globally, Cloud companies are getting good valuation. This is the value that investors attach to IP-led businesses. India is slowly moving towards differentiating Product from Services led software businesses. We are happy to be leading this curve. The successful fund raising from institutional investors is a testament of the belief and trust they place on the company and the strong fundamentals on which our business is built."
Getting ready for the Next Orbit:
Ramco has been gaining prominence as a fast growing specialist cloud vendor. With focus on Mobility, User Experience and Performance improvement through Agent-based technology (In-memory Computing), the company has been focusing on attracting and retaining the brightest minds in the industry. In an IT-Services driven country, very few companies provide opportunities for working on products and building IP (Intellectual Property) which are world-class. It is here that Ramco has been 'Disrupting the Status Quo' with its cloud based products.
Sharing his views, Mr. Virender Aggarwal, CEO, Ramco Systems, said, "At new Ramco, the focus is on Experimentation, Innovation and Customer delight. All employees are encouraged to be outward focused and customer driven. Employees are given the freedom to share their ideas and suggestions and enjoy every aspect of their work. There is an inherent effort to build a flat and open organization where employees are encouraged to share knowledge and grow."
What's new at RAMCO?
- The Cultural Shift: Gone are the days when organizations measured employee happiness through job satisfaction. New age companies go the extra mile to attract and retain the BEST minds… culture defines and differentiates a winning organization from the rest. No Hierarchies, Cabin-less Offices, Coffee with the CEO, 'Out of the Box' ideas, Respect work and not titles, are just a few slogans at new Ramco!
- Workplace Transformation – Launch of FIKA and T.G.I.M Bistro Cafeteria: Quick chat with the CEO over a cup of coffee, or a session of Zumba and Yoga are just a few examples of transformation at workplace. From calorie-measured food to high-intensity Interval training, employees are encouraged to lead a healthy lifestyle. Innovation & fun at work are the two aspects that we preach and practice across the organization.

Pity that, eighth seed Spaniard Fernando Verdasco fell out 7-6, 7-6 to American Mardy Fish in two tie-break sets,losing the first 7-1 and the second 7-4.
In another US-Spain match, tenth seed David Ferrer kept the Spanish flag flying by knocking out American Sam Querrey 7-5 6-2.
Wimbledon marathon man John Isner was forced to retire when leading 5-4 in the first set against David Nalbandian of Argentina. After receiving treatment, Isner finished the game, but withdrew after falling 30-0 behind in the next game.

Yes... I am in a rut of Elvis Cole, but it is anything but a rut. I have finished Free Fall, I'm currently reading Voodoo River, and I'm looking at a pile of 4 more unread Elvis Cole (and Joe Pike!) novels sitting on top of my bookshelf.
Free Fall takes place in Los Angeles again, and this time Elvis Cole takes on an elite crime fighting unit at the request of the fiance of the junior member of the group. He soon finds out they are tied into some illegal activity, and I'll just say it's pretty complicated. Along the way, Elvis and Joe get arrested, which is TOTALLY AWESOME in the novel. They handle it pretty well, and it is definitely a new twist in the series.
Joe Pike is extensively involved in this novel, and I love it. I don't think I've mentioned this before, but there is a lot of gun talk in these novels, and it ranks in seamlessness with Lee Child's gun talk. Interestingly enough, Elvis carries a firearm that I've never heard of, a Dan Wesson.
Right now, I'm halfway through Voodoo River, which takes place in Baton Rough, LA. It is awesome too!

Review of The Host by Stephenie Meyer
The Host Review
Ask middle school and high school teachers what students are reading as an Accelerated Reader or independent novel choice, and several may say one of the Stephenie Meyer books. Many students are reading one of the Twilight saga books, but some are trying out The Host.
The Host Has Aliens and Souls
The Host [Little, Brown and Company, May 6, 2008] has over 600 pages. However, students are plowing through it. It starts out with a very bleak outlook for Earth. The aliens have come and taken over. They have not slashed and killed as in other "alien take-over" stories. These aliens have taken over the bodies, and new "souls" are in control. The aliens generally are not aggressive; however, there are "Seekers" whose job it is to go and to find resisters. These are human who have not had new "souls" implanted in the base of their neck.
Strong Female Main Characters
The soul is supposed to break the host and take over its mind. The Wanderer or Wanda as she is later called is having a little problem. Her host, Melanie, Is not cooperating. Melanie is resisting and trying to find her younger brother Jamie and boyfriend Jared. The two main characters are strong women living in the same body. They both end up wanting the same man, as the Wanderer has learned of Melanie's memories. This creates an interesting love triangle as Wanda ends up finding a group of resisters in an underground cave, which includes Melanie's brother and boyfriend. At the same time, they are being chased by a Seeker. Much of the action happens as the resisters are "stealing" supplies in the cities with the help of Wanda.
Tying It All Together
As with Meyer's last saga, she ends up tying up all of the loose ends with a happy ending. Read The Host for an interesting ride of what could happen when aliens find Earth a pleasant place to inhabit. Although it is a science fiction book, many middle school and high school students find the ending pleasing and enjoy the love story.
Classroom Idea
This fantasy genre appeals to many students. For the middle school or high school teacher, students can write a comparison paper between Twilight and The Host. With the new movie, New Moon and Twilight mania, many students are readily reading the Meyer books.

Bob Bradley has called in 20 players for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers. Read the full story here:
GOALKEEPERS (2): Brad Guzan (Aston Villa: 2/2 SO), Tim Howard (Everton FC: 4/3 SO)
DEFENDERS (8): Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes: 14/2), Danny Califf (FC Midtjylland: 2/0), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96: 16/0), Frankie Hejduk (Columbus Crew: 12/1), Oguchi Onyewu (Standard de Liege: 9/0), Michael Orozco (San Luis: 0/0), Heath Pearce (Hansa Rostock: 3/0), Marvell Wynne (Toronto FC: 0/0)
MIDFIELDERS (6): DaMarcus Beasley (Glasgow Rangers: 17/4), Michael Bradley (SC Heerenveen: 3/1), Ricardo Clark (Houston Dynamo: 1/0), Maurice Edu (Glasgow Rangers: 2/0), Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA: 1/0), Eddie Lewis (Los Angeles Galaxy: 20/3)
FORWARDS (4): Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo: 8/4), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy: 22/8), Clint Dempsey (Fulham FC: 9/2), Eddie Johnson (Cardiff City: 8/8)
Some thoughts:
There are some names on this squad that you are almost always guaranteed to see. Players like Donovan, Howard, Bocanegra, Beasley, Gooch, Dempsey, and Bradley. These players are looking more and more like the core of Bob Bradley's team.
Six players from the Olympic squad have made this roster: Guzan, Klejstan, Orozco, Wynne, Edu, and Bradley.
The inclusion of Wynne and Orozco is particularly interesting to me. I don't think Coach Bradley is satisfied with what he has seen from the outside backs thus far, and maybe he wants to try out some new blood. Pearce has started the last few games but hasn't exactly put in stellar performances. I think Wynne might be the future right back for USMNT, but right now I don't really see Orozco competing for the left back position. Nowak put Orozco on the outside left during the Olympics after Spector and Sturgis were unavailable due to injury. With the exception of his muay thai elbow strike to the Nigerian player, he did an 'OK' job. I still think Orozco's best position is more central. He could develop into a great left back but right now he is still behind Pearce, Bornstein, Spector, and Sturgis for that left back spot.
Who didn't make the roster?
Freddy Adu and Jozy Altidore are both missing from this group. These two teenage phenoms have just made moves to new clubs over the summer ( Jozy to Villarreal and Adu to Monaco). Because of the significant time they spent with the Olympic team, I think it is only fair that they get a chance to get accustomed to their new clubs and try to earn some playing time.
A more interesting omission is Kenny Cooper. The 23 year old FC Dallas striker has 13 goals and 3 assists this season, only 1 goal behind league leader Landon Donovan. There was a lot of speculation that he was left out of the squad that went to Guatemala so that he would be available for this camp. I don't really think Cooper was going to step in and cure the USMNT scoring problems, but I do think its time to start grooming him as a future forward option.
Let me know what you guys think of this roster, and possible lineups against T&T and Cuba.

The first child was John Apple who was married four times.He and his second wife had one child Sofia or Sophia, who married Jesse Smith who was my gg grandfather.Andrew and Elizabeth's8th child was Marie Elizabeth Apple who Married Peter Emry on Nov 19, 1802 in Clermont Co., OH.Their daughter Anna Emry or Emery is also a gg grandmother of mine.Anna m Levi Bolander in 1847.Levi was the son of John Bolander who was the son of Stephen Bolander.Both John and Stephen Bolander were born in Berks Co. PA. I will share other information if you wish and I would appreciate your info on Elizabeth Catherine and John Palm who I understand was Johan.Thanks if we fit.

University of Leicester researchers are studying what happens when volcanic ash particles are heated in jet engines
The researchers are looking at what happens when volcanic ash particles are heated in jet engines. Thermal Analysis and X-ray Computed Tomography are being used to analyse the temperature at which volcanic ash solidifies and melts.
The blades of aircraft engines operate at temperatures above their melting point and need a constant flow of cooling air blowing through tiny holes in the blades. The air floats onto the surface of the blades and forms a protective film that stops them reaching the same temperature as the combustion process of the engine. Volcanic ash can reach a temperature of 2,000˚C in the engine, and will melt. If it is sucked into the tiny holes in engine blades the melted ash solidifies to a layer of glass and blocks the ventilation holes, and the engine will fail because the blades then melt.
Dr Hongbiao Dong and Dr Mike Branney are leading the study, which combines engineering and volcanology. The researchers are working with two contrasting types of volcanic ash; measuring their melting temperature in a Differential Scanning Calorimeter then studying its morphology (structure) using X-ray Computed Tomography.
Volcanoes erupt frequently in Iceland and at other locations around the world, and the impact of ash on aviation can be considerable, depending on whether winds carry the ash across flight paths and airports.
The instrumentation used in this research is part of a new £1 million hi-tech engineering centre, MaTIC, that works with industry to drive innovation in materials technology. The centre includes a range of advanced equipment for the understanding of materials behaviour.

David Guas, a New Orleans native, remembers this comforting dessert from his childhood. It's a spectacularly creamy banana pudding topped with a crumble made from vanilla wafer cookies. (Recipe adapted from DamGoodSweet.) Southern Comfort Foods
How to Make It
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the cornstarch, the 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Gradually whisk the milk into the egg yolks until smooth. Transfer the pudding mixture to the saucepan and add the banana liqueur. Cook over moderate heat, whisking, until the pudding is thick, about 3 minutes. Scrape the pudding into a bowl and whisk in the cold butter and vanilla. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until chilled, about 4 hours.
Preheat the oven to 325°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the wafers, cinnamon, the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir in the melted butter. Spread the crumble on the prepared baking sheet; bake for 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool.
Spoon the chopped bananas into bowls. Top with the pudding, sprinkle with the crumble and serve right away.

Review Body: I've fixed a lot of banana pudding in my 67 years. So great some not so great. Then I found this recipe. The only difference I made in fixing this is a vanilla bean instead of vanilla extract. The flavor is incredible. I also cut the sugar from 1/2 cup to no more than 1/3 raw sugar. Everyone I've served this to rave, especially about the vanilla wafer crunchies on top. They make this dessert. It's a regular in our dessert schedule.

Distillate is the purest form of digestible THC available and this is also the strongest responding product in the cannabis world.
How its made
The plant goes through a deep extraction process to remove all the plant matter, what's left over is called Budder and this product goes through another extraction process again to further remove any leftover oils, wax and residue. The resulting product is commonly know as Shatter. A THC concentrate with terpenes still available.
Once it is in this form it goes through a process called "Short Path Distill" which purifies the THC and removes any leftover wax or terpenes, leaving you with a pure THC concentrate that looks like a thick clear liquid.
How to use
• A Dab Rig or Shatter Pen (Most Effective)
• Can Be Added to Joints or Water Pipes
• Activated for Edibles
It's important to use with caution as it is the strongest concentrate in the market. We're very proud of the purity and strength of ErbaClear and we invite you to try it on your next visit to Erbachay.com

The terrible news spread like wildfire. John the Baptist was dead. Murdered. A shining light had been violently snuffed out, leaving many people without a teacher. The crowd didn't know what to do, but they knew who to turn to. If only they could find him.
Just days before, the disciples of Jesus had returned from their very first mission trip. They were excited by all that God had done through them. But they were tired from many days on the road and were ready for a well earned rest. Jesus knew this, so he invited them to join him on a retreat.
The plan was to sail to a quiet part of the lake, a nice beach perhaps, to retreat and spend some time sharing about their recent experiences. No doubt, he wanted to pray with them, encourage them and unpack the lessons they had learned while on mission.
But the crowd had other plans. Somehow, they had worked out where Jesus was headed, so they ran ahead by land to get there before him. As Jesus stepped off the boat and saw the people running toward him, he likened them to "sheep without a shepherd".
So, even though he himself was grieving the loss of his cousin and friend, he was overcome with a deep sense of compassion for these helpless people.
The team debrief would have to wait.

Irish flanker Sean O'Brien says the British and Irish Lions would have won the June series against the All Blacks 'comfortably' if it wasn't for overtraining.
O'Brien started in all three tests of the drawn series which ended with a controversial 15-15 draw at Eden Park.
The 30-year-old, who has played 49 tests for Ireland and five for the Lions, says Warren Gatland and the Lions coaching staff mis-managed the training schedule during the five week tour.
"To be honest, I'd be pretty critical of it because I think we should have won the tour and we probably should have won it comfortably," O'Brien said in an interview with Irish radio station Newstalk.
"There's the best players in the world on a Lions tour. I know you are playing the best team in the world but with the quality and strength in depth we had, we probably should have won the tour. It wasn't down to fatigue. It was probably management a bit, in terms of how our weeks went.
"The first week, we definitely over-trained on the Thursday and maybe the coaches were panicking a little bit about getting the information into us. On the first week [of the first Test], we had a triple [session] day, [the] lads' legs were heavy on the Thursday and we were playing the All Blacks on Saturday.
The Lions lost the opening test 30-15 at Eden Park before bouncing back to take the second test 24-21, handing the All Blacks their first home loss since 2009.
A victory in the third and final test would have secured the Lions their first series win in New Zealand since 1971. O'Brien says the squad were again overtrained on the eve of the final game.
"We did nearly a similar thing in the last week. So maybe it's more [from] a coaching point of view, in terms of taking lessons. Less is more sometimes on a tour like that, rather than trying to pick things up at the end of the week.
"There was probably no need for that but it's just the way it was managed. We had said it, at the time, and they pulled back a bit. But it's just about getting that fine balance between players and coaches and making sure the group is ready to rock."
O'Brien was forced from the field at halftime of the third test draw after coming off second best from a Jerome Kaino clear-out. O'Brien revealed to Irish site Sports Joe that after the test he found Kaino and said 'you got me good'.

In English you will build, develop and improve upon your literacy and grammar knowledge through a varied curriculum that mixes language and literature. This means that you will cover the skills of reading, analysis, writing and speaking and listening every term.
You will continue with independent and guided reading through the Accelerated Reader programme throughout KS3 (Years 7, 8 and 9). This programme will help you to determine which books you should read based on the level of challenge they will present; it will also give you feedback on how your reading is going through online quizzes. Some students will also have the opportunity to participate in Read Write Inc, a catch-up reading programme designed to enable students to rapidly increase their reading age.
In your first year at Broadlands Academy your English programme will look like this:
· Dickens' world: here you will explore some of the best known Dickens' characters and get to create your own Dickensian style masterpiece
· An exploration of Shakespeare's The Tempest
· Develop your skills as a story writer, through the study of narrative techniques and texts
· Create and experience a wide range of spoken voice and performance poetry
· Travel through place and time; an opportunity to explore sci-fi fiction and non-fiction travel writing by creating your own country (anywhere in space and time) and promoting it through a range of non-fiction texts.
· Share the renowned Historical Fiction novel, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Moving into Year 8 at Broadlands Academy, your English programme will look like this:
· Explore the world of Extreme Sports as a basis for creative first person writing and textual analysis
· Continue the study of literature and Twentieth Century history through shared reading of John Boyne's novel, The Boy at the Top of the Mountain
· Delve into the writing of Shakespeare through a series of whodunit investigations
· Read and deconstruct a wide range of modern crime poetry
· Travel back to the Nineteenth Century with Sherlock Holmes through the distinctive Murder Mystery writing of Arthur Conan Doyle.
· Enjoy Twenty-first Century drama through the 2007 West End favourite Noughts & Crosses
In your final year ahead of your GCSEs, your English programme will look like this:
· Discover the world of Hollywood and writing for film through a Film Studies taster unit
· Develop your understanding of British drama through the Willy Russell's modern classic, Blood Brothers
· Explore the unforgiving world of the American West in the 1930s through John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men
· Take a trip through the vaults of historically controversial literature through a study of a series of one-time banned books from authors including George Orwell and Chinua Achebe
· Experience the shock of war first hand, as depicted in the great war poetry of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Century
In English lessons you will be expected to do plenty of Speaking and Listening. You will discuss texts and ideas in pairs, small groups and as a whole class. You will use role-play and performance to help you to explore the meaning of texts. You will also have lots of opportunities to be creative and produce a range of different styles and forms of writing, for different purposes and audiences.

Get Stuff We Love
Ask any woman who has gotten her bra professionally sized and she'll tell you: The right fit can make all the difference.
But the right cup and bust sizes aren't the only important factors when choosing a bra, according to Elisabeth Dale, author of the book "The Bra Zone" and founder of The Breast Life blog. "It's like picking out shoes for an outfit — sometimes you want flip-flops or ballet slippers or high heels," she says. Having a variety of bra styles means you can dress your chest for the occasion. Here's how.
Pro tip: Bras are made of delicate fabrics and elastics and should always be laundered by hand or placed in a lingerie bag and washed on the gentle cycle in cool water, says Dale. Be sure to hang them to dry. "Never, ever put your bras in the dryer — that will be shorten their lifespan," she emphasizes.
1. T-shirt / Seamless / Contour Bra
This style goes by all three names, which essentially performs the function of "disappearing" underneath knitted or clingy clothing so that straps and bumps don't stick up through fabric. The cups always hold their shape, even when breasts aren't in them, and are made on a mold of thicker materials that provide great nipple coverage — a common concern for many women. (Take note: Newer "spacer bras" that also fall under this style are made of lighter, more breathable fabric that provide less nipple coverage.) You can get this type of bra in a variety of options, including full coverage, plunge and strapless, explains Dale.

2. Underwire Bra
Bras made with underwire that surround the base of breasts provide structure by keeping the breasts anchored to the chest. While some women love the supportive feel, others find it uncomfortable. If you fall in the former category, look for underwire that is double- or triple-wrapped inside casings for more comfort. You can find underwire bras in plunge, demi- and full-coverage styles, as well as in nursing and post-mastectomy bras. "If you hate underwire bras, the good news is that there are plenty of non-wired bras on the market now — you just have to shop around to find what works best for your breasts," says Dale.
Just because you're a minimalist doesn't mean you can't have any fun. This plunge bra from Journelle offers the same practicality of a T-shirt bra, but with an added layer of seduction.
3. Push-Up Bra
Nothing beats a push-up bra if you want to lift the twins higher. "The most versatile style is one where the "cutlets" can be removed so you can bump up your cleavage when you want, but not have your boobs be the center of attention when you don't," says Dale. This style is also a good solution for those with breast asymmetry — where one breast is bigger than the other (totally normal!) — or for those who've had lumpectomies, since you can wear padding in only one cup. Despite their reputation, push-up bras aren't so much about adding volume (though they do some of that, too) as they are about lifting tissue to a higher elevation, adds Dale.
Proving pain isn't always beauty, this wireless bra from Wacoal's b/tempt'd line offers the same boost of a push-up bra without any discomfort caused by underwires.
4. Balconette and Demi Bras (they are different!)
"There's a great deal of confusion between the balconette and demi bra styles, since many manufacturers call a demi a balconette and vice versa," says Dale. They're actually not the same type of bra. The balconette is a sexier version of a full-coverage bra, with the cup cut a bit smaller to show more of the top half of the breast.
The demi bra goes even lower than the balconette, with a single vertical seam up each cup and with the tops of the cups cut straight across. The demi style works well under lower, scoop neck outfits. It's also a good choice for those with shallower breast tissue as it lifts each breast up without creating cleavage or creasing, explains Dale.
This bra from Panache offers women with larger cup sizes the support of a full bra, but with the sex appeal of a balconette. Last time we checked, there were 12 colors to choose from.
Prove you're red-y for anything with this bold take on a demi from Journelle. The scoop neckline and allover lace lend a retro glam aesthetic, and there's a matching panty and thong for upping the bombshell ante.
5. Bralette
"These are the hottest new trend!" says Dale of the bras that are made as a one-piece without clasps and have an unstructured style that can slip on over your head. Many bralettes are made of supportive stretch lace material with adjustable straps and bands and come in longline styles that extend further down the torso. They're comfortable enough to wear to sleep or on weekends, but fashionable enough to be worn as sexy lingerie or a layering insert inside of a professional jacket. And for those with fuller busts, there are even some bralette styles made with underwire, says Dale.
It doesn't get more bare-bones than this wire-free bra from Hanes. Aside from feeling like a second skin, this bra has convertible straps for a custom fit.
6. Strapless and Convertible Bras
Strapless styles are usually chosen to accommodate skin-baring outfits and come in regular or longline versions, which may be called bustiers. However, there is a difference between convertible and strapless styles. Convertibles allow you to change up straps to crisscross or wear in other ways. You can choose to ditch the straps altogether, but it's not constructed the same way as a true strapless bra. In other words: If you're looking for versatility, go for a convertible. If you only need a strapless, go for a specific style.
Since all the support of a strapless comes from around the band, you may want to go down a band size and up a cup size, advises Dale. "Strapless bras are tricky to fit because of differing cup construction — from plunge to full coverage — so if you need one for a particular outfit, bring it along so you can see how it looks over the bra," she suggests.
Talk about a smooth operator. This bra from Maidenform contains embedded underwire, along with removable skinny straps, to ensure nothing is poking out of that slinky dress come date night.
This smart convertible bra from Vanity Fair contains a special heat-diffusing fabric for keeping you cool. Wide, thick straps also provide added comfort.
7. Sports Bra (they're not all created equally)
When you want to get the most out of your workout, pick up a sports bra. "Like running or hiking shoes, you should pick one that is right for your level of activity," explains Dale. Most sports bras have a guide that tells you if it's for low, medium or high impact — the difference between, say, yoga and aerobic activity.
There are basically two types of sports bras: compression and encapsulation. The first is one that gives you the "uni-boob" look to hold your breasts down by compressing them. The latter is more like a regular bra, where each breast has its own cup. For moderate-to-high impact activity (like running), always wear a bra that does double-duty with both compression and encapsulation qualities, advises Dale.
For more sports bra recommendations, check out our round up of the best bras for every type of workout.
8. Minimizer Bra
This concept is a bit old school, since many professional bra fitters today believe that a seamed, full-coverage bra does the best job of minimizing the appearance of larger breasts. A minimizer bra style spreads breast tissue across the chest rather than bringing it all to the front with centered projection. Many minimizer bras have other features, like wider wings to reduce the appearance of back rolls, says Dale.
9. Adhesive Backless Bra / Cutouts
You've probably seen these in clothing catalogs or at the checkout of lingerie shops. This option is best suited for smaller or lighter-weight breasts, says Dale. They're a good choice if you want some lift or want to bring the breasts together (usually in a backless outfit). Keep in mind that some adhesive bras may be uncomfortable to wear during warmer summer months or in tropical climates, she adds.
This self-adhesive pick is like a strapless and push-up bra in one. Just tighten the corset to reach your desired amount of cleavage and you're ready to go.
Last and certainly least from a coverage perspective, this self-adhesive, barely there set from Nubra can be applied for days when you need the bare minimum. Scoop it up in one of three shades to best match your skin tone.

Deploying Haskell for Mac projects on OS X and Linux
A nice property of the Haskell ecosystem is that most code is quite easily portable between OS X and Linux (and often even Windows) — assuming you write a command line or server application. This raises the question of how to build a Haskell for Mac project, such that you can deploy it to machines that do not have a Haskell installation. Due to the Stack tool integration of Haskell for Mac, that is quite simple.
Let's suppose, your Haskell for Mac project is
my-project.hsproj and you want to build an executable that has all Haskell libraries statically linked, so that it is independent of any Haskell installation. We achieve this in two steps:
- Download a stack binary for your architecture. Unpack it and copy it, for example, to
- Now, execute the following shell commands:
$ cd my-project.hsproj
$ stack setup --no-system-ghc
$ stack build
Stack will print the location of the final executable at the end of the build process. (Alternatively, you can pass the
--local-bin-path DIR option to the last command if you want to specify an alternative location.)
This build procedure is independent of any pre-existing Haskell toolchain on the build machine and the deployment host. However, on Linux, be aware that only Haskell libraries will be statically linked. The resulting executable will still have dependencies on system libraries; hence, to minimize hassle, make sure that the build machine and deployment host use the same Linux system.
If you like to try this for yourself, just grab our command line sample project, SHA1.hsproj, and take it for a spin.
Before you can deploy your command line or server application, you will have to test it. A previous article describes how to do that.
