ONE proposed Government action that should clearly benefit PNG Air is the proposal to increase subsidies for the transport of perishable agricultural products in the country, says chairman Murray Woo.
He said this was a sensible economic policy, promoting growth in the agricultural sector, and potentially leading to export markets as well as some import substitution.
"It fits particularly well with PNG Air's decision to convert one of its Dash 8 aircraft to a freighter configuration," Woo said. "Increased vegetable carriage would provide a steady revenue stream from this aircraft, importantly on flights into Port Moresby.
"The aircraft is also able to carry relatively large one-off loads by charter, and to make other regular cargo runs.
"The board has not been content to rely on re-fleeting and an upturn in the PNG economy alone to improve the company's performance."
He said Nasfund, as one of the airline's major shareholders, had commissioned a report on the company's business and strategy from the major aviation consultants Aviado.
"The board looks forward to seeing what they may recommend," he said.
"The company has also been the subject of a report from board and governance consultants appointed by the Bank of PNG to look at the board functioning and corporate governance of all companies in which superannuation companies such as Nasfund have substantial holdings, and some recommendations from those consultants to further improve the company's governance are being implemented.
"While there are these positives, certain challenges remained in 2017 due in particular to the weak economic conditions and deteriorating exchange rates.
"The falling world commodity prices of the past four years have seen exploration activity remain low and as a result the charter business was flat."

NOTE: This is for the NEW version, like the picture on listing, the video shows first version, sound the same just function updates ! The Triple Wreck high gain distortion pedal... designed to get that massively thick distortion through a clean amp!
Guaranteed to bring on 'teh broootaaalllzz'! Probably one of the tightest, thickest highest gain distortions you've ever heard... many people have told me that it sounds more like a 5150 amp to them, that may very well be - I designed it to just by an ass kicking distortion pedal, heavier than everything else, meaner than everything else, and it is...
Another cool feature is the boost switch. Click it on and the cream crunch knob takes you from even higher gain (waaaaaaaay high gain) to fuzzy smashing pumpkins-esque big muff pi type of tones (but with a 3 band eq). Of course, you can get the Gilmour BMP tones as well, but the only thing missing from this pedal are the devil horns ;)

The Weatherill Labor Government must finally come clean and declare how much taxpayer money it used to lure shamed drug cheat Lance Armstrong to compete in the Tour Down Under.
Premier Weatherill's Government has resisted calls for transparency regarding payments to the disgraced former cycling star arguing that details of the deal were 'commercial in confidence.'
Until today the Weatherill Labor Government had argued that releasing the detail of such
agreements would put South Australia at a commercial disadvantage in attracting high profile international stars to the state.
Mr Weatherill signaled a radical departure from that position today as he was forced to defend spending at least $450,000 to entice the Rolling Stones to South Australia.
(Weatherill press release 20/11/13)
"Backed into a corner, Premier Weatherill was forced to divulge sensitive detail about the deal as he fought against criticism of his decision," said Shadow Minister for Tourism David Ridgway.
"Either printing the taxpayer contribution to lure the Rolling Stones to Adelaide in a press release was a gaffe, or, Mr Weatherill is now admitting that the secretive 'commercial in confidence' defense was a ruse.
"Following today's trepid foray into transparency, Mr Weatherill must now fully divulge the deal designed to get Lance Armstrong to South Australia.
"South Australians deserve to know how much and on what their money is being spent – it shouldn't be left to the discretion of a Labor Government more interested in looking after its own interests.
"South Australians deserve a Government with the right priorities to get our state back on track."

Unveiling: The New Tech Chef Logo
The moment you've all been waiting for…
I have finalized the Tech Chef logo with some suggestions from readers. My last blog was a little makeover for this poor guy.
It's a very nice logo, and I've enjoyed him very much. However as he represents my online persona it has come to the point where a girl logo would represent me much better (being that I am after all a girl.)
Drum roll please…
Here she is, the new Tech Chef.
Please drop me a comment to let me know what you think. And be on the look out as I begin to switch my various accounts to the new and improved Tech Chef.

Today I am wearing:
Topshop Plain White Jersey top- £10
Topshop Floral Shorts- £35 (although I bought these on eBay for £5!)
Accessorize Heart Necklace
I really recommend eBay at the moment for skint students.
I have found so many bargains on here from great brands like Topshop and French Connection for a fraction of the price. I will upload a picture on Saturday of me in my French Connection outfit for my cousins wedding...I managed to get this gorgeous dress for £100 cheaper than the original price!!!
Enjoy :)

We all say dumb stuff on dates. Especially first dates when everyone is self-conscious and sussing out someone new.
But there are some things that you just do not say to a single mom on a first date, assuming you're angling for a second. Here are 12:
1. "That's great your mom lives in town so you can leave your kids with her on weekends."
2. "I am really loving this time of my life since my kids went away to college."
3. "Wow, you look good considering you had two kids."
4. "Kids need a man in the house."
5. "You had a C-section? That's awesome."
6. "You don't even have stretch marks!"
7. "Your ex husband lives in the neighborhood? Is his place near here [looking over both shoulders]? Do you ever run into him? Does he hate that you date? Has he ever beat up your boyfriends? Have your kids met any men you've dated? How did they react? Did they resent him?"
8. "Did you get your tubes tied?"
9. "How much child support do you get?"
10. "When guys marry single moms and their daughters grow into teenagers, I don't know how they can control themselves."
11. "My ex has a lot of issues so I really want to get married so my daughter has a new mom."
12. "Not a lot of guys are interested in women with kids, you know."
Interested in getting to know someone on a second date? Commit this list to memory and never ever utter a single one of them.

Toilet cleaning sessions for students will pay off
Posted on 15 September 2013 - 08:44pm
MODERN gadgetry including handphones, digital video cameras and CCTVs are making us impassioned observers and commentators as image upon image appears before our eyes.
As concerned members of society we are quick to sympathise and even empathise with the people we see suffering from personal and societal abuses by their "lawless" and "clueless" compatriots.
The recent brutal handling of an infant by a male staff in a foreign country was condemned by those who had the heart to watch a baby being slapped around like a dead fish. If this had happened in a Malaysian hospital, some of us would have called for the public lynching of the predator animal.
At home, the CCTV recording of a woman being hit and kicked around by a burly husband in a lift watched by her two young children, drew a public outcry which led to a police report and the man's arrest. We are now disgusted that the brute has the audacity to smile into the camera as he is led to court.
Just last week, the sneaked report of a CCTV installed in a school toilet drew public flak and condemnation of the school management and PTA who "wisely" made the decision in order to deter school vandalism. The education department was not spared brickbats for "foolishly" approving the application.
The general objection is that toilets are private places, even sacred, where the individual alone is allowed liberties. No one else is privy to a person's bodily functions, let alone a camera which captures toilet actions for posterity.
Developments in the UK, however, show that the new Malaysian obsession with privacy may prove to be detrimental to public security as this excerpt shows: "UK schools so unsafe that surveillance needed in the most private spaces? Since the 1990s, the UK's Home Office has spent 78 per cent of its crime prevention budget on CCTV installations, and schools have likewise invested significant resources in their own surveillance equipment."
In Malaysia, now that the CCTV culprits have been witch-hunted and reprimanded, we should look at the issue of school toilets squarely in the face. School toilets are private YES, but not the sacred area it is made out to be. It is not a taboo area that cannot be literally and metaphorically touched but should be seen as a utility area that the school community owns and needs to look after.
Granted schools employ cleaners to clean up after schoolchildren, but would it not be wonderfully nurturing if we get the children involved? Would this not be a hands-on way of teaching the young that ownership comes with responsibility?
As part of their character-building and ethic-instilling roles, many dedicated teachers are now organising community work such as helping the orphans and elderly, doing odd jobs or "gotong-royong" in the neighbourhood, etc. Why not involve students in looking after their school toilets?
Classes can take turns to spruce up the toilets. This can be done with proper time-tabling. And at assembly every week, incentives can be announced. There can be a prize for the class that is judged to be the best in this community effort and stars can be given to the runners-up.
When respect for toilets is nurtured and the particular skill of cleaning toilets is learnt from young, children will grow up with the right attitude and behaviour towards toilet use. Malaysian schools can then look forward to a cleaner future with toilet-trained students.
In this respect, the Japanese who are known for being sticklers for cleanliness and politeness in their daily lives, train children to clean their school toilets.
In the outer community, some of us have had horrendous experiences of Malaysian public toilets, infamous for their stench and water-ridden seats and floors. It does not help to explain that we are a water culture where we toilet clean ourselves and perform spiritual cleansing with water.
For instance, besides dealing with their bodily functions, Muslims pray five times a day and take ablution each time – which explains why the toilets in government offices and agencies are always wet. Added to this are the dirty sinks as office staff wash their oily plates of rice and curry, leaving bits of food to clog the outlet designed for running water.
Yes – Malaysians still have a lot to learn and unlearn as they strive to become a technologically advanced nation by 2020. Woe betide us if we own the most sophisticated technology and gadgetry, have superior mental capacities which have been nurtured by a transformed education system – yet fail badly in our toilet skills.

Today, many residential real estate developers are considering developing, constructing, installing, and operating telecommunications facilities for voice, video, and data information services in their developments. These facilities generally consist of optical fiber, broadband cable, copper cable, and wireless transmission media. The developers would install these facilities throughout their residential developments, whether single family or multi-dwelling, so as to connect each of the residences they plan to construct in their developments. Moreover, many developers specifically decide to install fiber throughout their developments prior to dedicating the streets and other rights-of-way in their developments to the public. Thus, when dedicating streets and other rights-of-way to the public, the developers generally will be in a position through plat submission to reserve to themselves certain easements through which they have installed fiber or broadband cable, or copper facilities. While such easements will generally be non-exclusive on dedication, typically developers will be in a position to control the sourcing of telecommunications, cable, and/or information services. Often developers create an affiliate or subsidiary to provide these services for a set price, over the facilities they have installed to the residents of the developments, thereby enhancing the value of their residential developments, and garnering additional revenue from their developments.
The developers' consideration of placement of telecommunications facilities in their developments raises a number of legal and regulatory issues, the answers to which depend upon the types of facilities and services that the developers may provide over the facilities they install. This article focuses on developers' installation of fiber optic facilities.
As a general rule, when a developer installs fiber throughout its development, the developer is not subject to any federal or state telecommunications regulations. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") only regulates the use of (1) fiber that is unlit, i.e., without optical and electrical equipment attached, and (2) dark fiber, if the fiber is leased or otherwise provided to telecommunications carriers on a common carrier basis. Thus, if a developer installs fiber, but does not attach optical and electrical equipment to it, and does not offer it to telecommunications companies indiscriminately, the developer is not going to be regulated as offering dark fiber on a common carrier basis. If developers later become common carriers, or decide to lease dark fiber (assuming developers have not already lit such fiber), on a common carrier basis, the leasing of such dark fiber in these circumstances may be deemed a form of communications services, falling within the FCC's jurisdiction and subject to regulation under Title II of the Communications Act.
Once developers install and light fiber facilities throughout their developments and become common carriers, developers may use the fiber to provide a number of communications services, including, but not limited to, telecommunications services -- that is, competitive local exchange service, cable television services, and information services.
The lighting of fiber implicates regulation by federal and state authorities, depending on which telecommunications services the developers decide to offer over their lit fiber installations.
For example, if developers decide to provide local exchange or long distance telecommunications services over fiber installed in their developments, developers will be deemed to be a common carrier and subject to regulation by the FCC under the Communications Act. As a common carrier, a developer will have the duty, among other things, to provide interconnection with other telecommunications carriers, to charge just and reasonable rates, and to apply just and reasonable practices to the rendering of services, including avoiding unjust and unreasonable discrimination. Moreover, if a developer acts as a competitive local exchange carrier by providing local exchange dial tone telecommunications service to residents, the developer cannot impose unreasonable or discriminatory conditions on the resale of its services, and must provide, to the extent technically feasible, number portability, dialing parity to competing providers, access to its rights of way, and comply with several other regulatory requirements.
Most states will also have regulatory authority over developers who are providers of telecommunications services, but with certain limitations. For example, states cannot prohibit developers from entering the telecommunications market as competitive carriers and providing interstate and intrastate telecommunications services. States, however, regulate the quality of service, local and intrastate exchange rates for service, and enforce certain other requirements to protect the public health and safety. Local jurisdictions retain the authority to manage public rights-of-way within their jurisdictions, and may require fair and reasonable compensation for developers' use of public rights-of-way, provided such compensation is imposed on a competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory basis. Moreover, some developers plan their rights-of-way so that they are situated in private easements, and do not actually use public rights-of-way when they install fiber or other nonwireless facilities to provide service to residents. Nonetheless, in such circumstances, developers' facilities may cross public rights-of-way, and in these situations, will likely be deemed use of public rights-of-way subject to certain regulations by local authorities.
If developers decide to provide cable services over the facilities they install, such as fiber or broadband cable, developers most likely will be deemed a cable operator, operating a cable television system. Although a cable system does not mean a facility that serves subscribers without using any public rights-of-way, certain court decisions, as well as FCC decisions, strongly suggest that developers' offering of cable services over fiber or broadband facilities installed on a private easement nevertheless constitute a cable system, because the easements used will necessarily follow, parallel, impinge upon, or cross public rights-of-way. Consequently, if a developer provides cable service over a cable system, the developer will likely be subject to regulation as a cable system under the Communications Act. However, developers are not subject to any interconnection requirements with other carriers, and will essentially control the content of material transmitted over their cable systems, with limited exceptions.
Further, to the extent developers decide to provide both cable and telecommunications services over the facilities they install, there will be limited local regulatory requirements applicable, such as certain franchising requirements.
To the extent developers decide to provide information services over the fiber facilities they install, the FCC has determined that such information service using cable or cable modems is an information service, and not subject to regulation as a common carrier service. Thus, developers' offering of cable modem service to provide information services, such as Internet access, to its customers is not currently subject to regulation.
If you want to learn more about this subject or the potential practical and legal issues raised when residential developers install telecommunications facilities in their residential developments — whether single family or multi-family dwellings — contact Michael L. Glaser at (303) 757-1600.

The Next Intellectuals
Should there be a Ph.D. program for public intellectuals? The response to the news that one has been created has been knee-jerk and mocking. Playboy called it a "Hot Air Doctorate"; Camille Paglia declared in last week's Chronicle of Higher Education, "They're going to groom people--what? To be me? That's not the way to do it." It's true that the Public Intellectuals Program--didn't anyone notice that the acronym is PIP?--offers its own butt up for the kicking. The courses for its 23 students could have been ripped out of a Modern Language Association catalog, circa 1995: There are classes on feminism, "new spiritualities," environmentalism, postcolonialism, gender, race, media, dissidence, and, of course, pop culture. The host institution is Florida Atlantic University, an undistinguished university in Boca Raton evidently looking for an excuse to lure name-brand talent to its campus--and who would refuse a Florida gig, especially if they make it in, say, February?
The talent is name-brand--among the stars scheduled to shine there briefly at some point in the future are Harvard theologian Cornel West, Harvard philosopher Anthony Appiah, Parisian semiotician Julia Kristeva, feminist psychoanalytic critic Juliet Mitchell, and even, interestingly, that elegist of public intellectualism lost, Russell Jacoby, author of The Last Intellectuals--but all of them are of a political inclination (leftish) that has been losing the culture wars on campus of late. You can't help wondering whether its graduates, trained in such ephemera as "Rhetoric and Principle," as one of the core courses is called, will be able to hold their own in the substantially more conservative--and possibly more substantive--public arena. "If we roll our eyes," wrote the Philadelphia Inquirer's book critic Carlin Romano in an essay in the Chronicle,
it's because we suspect that [F.A.U.'s] freshly minted public intellectuals will find themselves cerebrally all dressed up with no place to go. Can you imagine 'the Boca Raton intellectuals' exercising cultural clout in the national media, with profiles about them to follow in the Times? Don't hold your breath.
But it's not as if there's anything wrong per se with a doctoral training program for public intellectuals. At its best, it would be an interesting graduate program of general studies.
The main problem with the F.A.U. program, it strikes Culturebox, is the name. It's pretty presumptuous for any professor to declare his students "public intellectuals"; you would much rather they got their certification as such from someone else. Otherwise, the whole thing sounds harmless. For one thing, contrary to the popular wisdom, F.A.U. does not intend to turn out baby Paglias. The program director, Max Kirsch, claims, at least, that its students aren't looking for fame: "They are looking for some engagement with the public." Kirsch is using code, but what he means is that what he's training his students to be are behind-the-scenes activists and organizers--what Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci called organic intellectuals. Gramsci believed that everybody, no matter what he does, participates in some kind of intellectual activity--is a philosopher or artist or person of taste, has a unique conception of the world and line of moral conduct, and therefore generates new ways of thinking. The job of people who actually call themselves intellectuals is to articulate such situational thought and put it to use for change. As Edward Said put it in some 1994 lectures on the subject:
Today's advertising or public relations expert ... would be considered an organic intellectual according to Gramsci, someone who in a democratic society tries to gain the consent of potential customers, win approval, marshal consumer or voter opinion. Gramsci believed that organic intellectuals are actively involved in society, that is, they constantly struggle to change minds and expand markets ... are always on the move, on the make.
In short, you could view the Florida Atlantic program as a version of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, except it's for left-wing activists rather than centrist politicians.
Moreover, the ideal of the public intellectual is no newfangled fad. "Organic intellectual" is not strictly identical with "public intellectual," of course, and one wonders whether Russell Jacoby understands who exactly he's signed up to teach, given his understanding of the term "public intellectual" (in The Last Intellectuals he defines it as one who writes with "vigor and clarity," not as an activist or left-wing scholar). But the notion of the public intellectual is much older than that of, say, the gentlemen-scholar, whom no one sneers at, except perhaps organic intellectuals. Almost every philosophy or political tendency worth mentioning, from Plato on, has held in special esteem its version of the active thinker who puts his principles across well and thereby commands a wider public. We might think the idea is newer because of the phrase, which gained currency in recent years mainly because of Jacoby. In his book, Jacoby deplores what he characterizes as a sort of fall, from the Edenic condition of what he calls "classical American intellectuals" born at the turn of the century--Lewis Mumford, Dwight Macdonald, and, inevitably, Edmund Wilson--to the generation born after World War II, whose intellectuals, he claims, have all retreated into academia, where they have lost themselves in a thicket of specialized professional jargon.
Culturebox doesn't exactly buy Jacoby's argument that there are no public intellectuals left. If anything, there are too many--every bright young thing graduating from college these days feels compelled to publish his or her particular social critique, whether readable or not, and there is a small platoon of quasi-subsidized publishing companies (Free Press, Basic Books, Public Affairs Press, etc.) ready to print them. On the other hand, why should there be any limit to the number of baby public intellectuals out there? And why shouldn't they be left-wing? Quite a few of the aforementioned junior pundits get money and support from right-wing think tanks, which are the moral and intellectual equivalent of the Florida Atlantic Public Intellectuals Program, if that. So, Culturebox says: Let a thousand flowers bloom.

text: I'm getting my SuperCard DS(ONE) in a week. I've read about a few problems with this flashcart, especially saving. Therefore, upon receiving my SCONE, what files should I put on the microSD in chronological order and whattests should I perform to make sure it's working properly? Should I use the latest files? Can someone link me to all the main files I will need to put on my microSD before putting it in the SCONE for the first time? Anything on the SCONE I should check itself before using it? I'm sorry, but I'm really new ot this stuff and want to make the experience as easy as possible. Thanks!

Here are some questions that have come in via our Ask Us a Question Page. I will try to answer them as best I can.
"I am finding my landline + Vat is costing more than my calls. Am just not able to continue to pay these prices and was wondering if it is possible to establish whether my area would be suited to Fixed wireless and if so what are the pros and cons. I have looked to gain more info from providers of this service but it is very sketchy and does not cover subjects such as; Do walls, trees and adverse weather conditions affect wireless and result in loss of coverage."
When it comes to choosing whether to get broadband over the phone (ADSL) or Fixed Wireless there are a couple of things to consider. First of all, if you don't know what the different types of broadband are check out this post, What are the different types of Broadband? The second thing to do is find out what types of broadband are available in your area. The best way to do this is to talk to your neighbours and find out what they are using and how good it is or go to your local computer shop. The local computer shop should know what broadband services are available and how good or bad the service is.
Do you have a phone line and do you intend to keep it regardless of whether you have broadband on the phone line or not? If you have a phone line you are paying line rental, regardless of whether you make phone calls or have broadband on the line. If you have fixed wireless broadband then no phone line is required and therefore there is no line rental to be paid.
Fixed Wireless broadband is generally not affected by weather, however walls and trees do affect the signal. You must have clear line of sight to your Fixed Wireless provider's transmitted.
"Can for example an emergency service detect one's exact location when receiving a call from a wireless phone"
What you are talking about is VOIP. This is sending your phone calls over the Internet using your broadband connection. To do this you can use your PC with a headset or you have to buy a VOIP phone. For more info on VOIP check out SKYPE or Blueface, Blueface are a good Irish VOIP Provider.
When it comes to the emergency services they cannot tell your exact location. However most emergency calls are made from mobile phones these days and they can narrow down your location by triangulating the phone signal.
If you have a router already for broadband, then do you need to purchase another along with a new phone if you switch to Wireless house phone?
If you have broadband on the phone line (ADSL) then you will need a new router which may or may not be supplied by your Fixed Wireless Provider. Yes you will need a VOIP compatible phone. Your VOIP provider can supply this. (about €30-€40 once off cost)
"Can a signal be troublesome at times? The companies promoting their products are also promising high speeds and yet this is just not correct for all customers, as they have reported on internet forums."
The best way to check the quality of the service is to talk to somebody in your area who has the service and see what thay say. Your local computer shop will probably know the quality of the local broadband services.
"I would so appreciate just having advice on which provider is the most efficient, reliable, reasonably priced, gives the best customer care and technical support"
Although I am not in a position to supply you with a service in your area, as a Fixed Wireless provider, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on somebody else's service. Have a look at your neighbours houses and if you see a funny looking aerial it's probably for broadband and ask them who provides it and what the service is like.
"My present provider promised all these at the onset, but now I cannot even contact them for support, as all I get is ten full minutes or more of adds, jingles and requests to join a competition..never a reference to putting me through, asking me to hang on …nothing. I still cannot reach them and have no idea how long the adds go on for as I cannot afford to wait that long. It is a disgraceful and unacceptable service to say the least, but before leaving them I need to be sure that I will not make a further bad choice. There must be independant advice for consumers apart from Com Reg who only give out a list of providers, their prices and so on, but there are no solid recommendations, warnings etc. It still leaves people very uninformed and open to exploitation. trial and error situation which one must put up with for the length of the contract, or pay more money for transfer. Can you please give me the benefit of your advice?"
As you can see there is a general theme to the responses, DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU SIGN UP FOR ANY BROADBAND CONTRACT. I cannot stress this enough. We all know somebody who has some computer expertise, but the most important people to talk to are people who use the service. If you were asked about your current provider you would be more than willing to tell people about the service, so would most people.
I hope this answers some of your questions or at least points you in the right direction.

Posted in school-news
In just a few days, Or Shalom will be celebrating its 40th anniversary with a special Friday night Shabbat service and a Gala Dinner/Dance the following evening. Celebrating with our congregational community is always wonderful, and celebrating 40 years made me think about the importance the number 40 has in Judaism, making this milestone even more significant:
As Or Shalom reaches this significant milestone, let's take a moment to remember our own transformative process. We are blessed to have Rabbi Ari as our spiritual leader and are excited to welcome our first full-time cantorial soloist, Laurie Akers, this summer. Our beautiful building fulfilled a congregational dream and serves the needs of our congregation and school well—our journey included substantial wandering, similar to the 40 years the Israelites wandered in the desert—meeting in homes, renting space in churches (and a bowling alley!), and eventually building our own permanent space, (a.k.a., our Promised Land in Vernon Hills!)
As this school year draws to a close, we can be proud of all our congregation has achieved and the education that our students receive. A special thank you to all our teachers, our madrichim, our staff, our Education Committee and our congregants. Working together, we are able to offer engaging programs, classes and events.
May Dates to Note:
Sunday, May 7: Last day of Religious School, Preschool and Family School with Parents.All school parents are invited to join us in the sanctuary from 10–10:30 a.m. (early session), and from 12:10–12:40 p.m. (late session), for an end-of-year celebration with Rabbi Ari and all classes.
May 9–11: Last week of Hebrew classes.
Sunday, May 21, 10 a.m.: Confirmation service celebrating our 10th grade class.
Have a wonderful summer.

William and Thomas Towson, who farmed the fields along present-day Joppa and York roads, wouldn't recognize the community that bears their name today. Towsontown was born as something of a way station for farmers driving herds of livestock and wagons of grain and vegetables south to the Port of Baltimore, and in the 250 years hence, the community of 55,000 has participated in a boom-and-bust pattern recognizable to small cities along the Eastern Seaboard, Hagerstown included.
Today, leaders in Towson hope that people who were familiar with the Towson of the 2000s won't recognize it two or three years hence.
Towson is undergoing the type of transformation that Hagerstown is toying with at the moment. Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz said at a news conference this week: "We are going to make Towson a regional destination, even better than Bethesda, even better than Silver Spring."
A 12-story tower vacant for a decade reopened in August, populated with offshoots of Towson University; Towson Commons, abandoned by retailers, finds new life as a fitness center; and high-end restaurants and theaters with VIP bar/bistro areas appear, meaning that, Kamenetz said, "dinner and a movie will soon have a whole new meaning in downtown Towson."
The investment is somewhat staggering: It easily will top $100 million in investments, 660 construction jobs and 1,500 jobs after that, or so they say.
Of course, before we become too starry-eyed, it pays to remember that Hagerstown lacks some of Towson's assets, including a major university and immediate proximity to the nation's 24th largest city.
But here's the lesson: Small cities that want to thrive cannot think of themselves in the ways that we came to think of small cities throughout the majority of the 1900s. John Josiah Newberry ain't walking through the door anytime soon with a retailing icon that will anchor a downtown for the next five or six decades.
Three things are striking about the Sora presentation to City Hall this week, which outlined a path that might, just might, pull a moribund city out of what is well on its way to becoming a half-century funk.
One is the quality of the names involved — Sora Development; Daft, McCune and Walker Inc. engineers; Skanska construction — one hesitates to make a baseball analogy in Hagerstown, but these outfits are in the major leagues of development.
Second is the scope of the development they're talking about. Those who were horrified at the $40 million cost of the proposed baseball stadium might just want to skip to the next paragraph, because the plans under consideration would be two, three times that — maybe more.
Third, the days when a government could finance mammoth public works projects to jumpstart a city are over. But so are the days that we could sit back and let the private markets work their magic. Those models don't work anymore, not for a downtown.
Hagerstown has tried both, and both have failed. Public projects haven't been enough, no matter how much money has been poured into the Social Services building, the Boublitz courthouse, the University System of Maryland campus and Barbara Ingram School for the Arts.
Private investors have fared no better. They either sit on downtown property allowing it to decay in hopes of scoring a windfall in the next up market, or they have tried to do too much, overextending their capital in a town without the foot traffic to support it.
We now see the result.
So here's what we have, right at this very moment: Some residual momentum to build something big in the city. A public school system in desperate need of new administrative space; some green shoots of education, including USMH, the arts school and the (coming soon) new library; a sprawling green field more or less in the middle of town where the old hospital once resided; a professional baseball team in need of a professional home; a decaying, monolithic industrial building that everyone is sick of, which oh-by-the-way, sits alongside one of Western Maryland's more historic and picturesque creeks.
Add to this a room full of players who want to see all this and more come together in a fashion that will set the standard for small-city viability as we move forward into the 21st century.
That's a lot of stars that are unlikely to line up again in our lifetime.

Jon Hamm on Those Rumors About Mad Men's Megan
"It's an interesting theory."
Is Megan doomed on Mad Men? Certainly, her marriage to Don seems to be on the rocks, but there are also those persistent rumors that Megan could be murdered, à la Sharon Tate — a theory strengthened by many could-be clues in last Sunday's season premiere. When Vulture caught up with Jon Hamm last night at the Public Theater's opening night fête for The Library — he was positively beaming when his longtime girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt, who stars for director Steven Soderbergh in the play, emerged at the after-party — we asked for his take on the Megan-is–Sharon Tate line of thinking. "I don't give very much credence to it," said Hamm. "Although, certainly it was on people's minds in the world of the show. It's an interesting theory, but I don't know how much validity there is to it. But it's a great compliment that people are thinking that deeply about the show."
As for Don's strangers-on-a-plane dalliance with an alluring widow played by Neve Campbell, Hamm told us that he only learned of her casting on the day of shooting; fortunately, the two had chemistry to spare. "It turned out great, and I thought the scene was surprisingly intimate and fascinating," he said. "I had a blast working with her. She's a lovely gal." Ultimately, Don turns down her advances — does that mean there's still hope for him, after so many seasons of philandering and self-abuse? "I think I'm uniquely rooting for him," Hamm said with a chuckle. "It's been a long, downward spiral. I'm hoping for peace and resolution and balance and all of those things in his life."

Elisabeth Elliot Quotes About SurrenderQuotes about: Surrender
My most earnest of all pleas to singles is abandonment of the self, surrender to Christ of all unfulfilled longings, an unequivocal willingness to receive whatever God assigns, and a determination to practice the sacrificial principle of Isaiah 58:10-11. Life becomes not only far simpler, but surprisingly joyful and free.
One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime. Nor is surrender to the will of God (per se) adequate to fullness of power in Christ. Maturity is the accomplishment of years, and I can only surrender to the will of God as I know what that will is.

The government of Ontario sees development of green energy generation sources as a strategy. Unfortunately, that laudable objective is largely undermined by the manner in which the McGuinty government has chosen to go about creating that capacity.
Quite simply, the process leading up to last week's historic signing of a deal between the state-run power authority in Korea, multinational giant Samsung and the Ontario government, stinks. If the deal delivers on everything it promises in terms of wind and solar energy generation, job creation and benefits to Ontario steel companies, it might end up being good for the province. But that's a big "if," and the way it has been handled until now will still stink.
Back when he was energy minister instead of Toronto mayoral wannabe, George Smitherman set up a system designed to encourage Ontario companies to compete openly in green energy development. Called Feed-In Tariffs, the system would pay a subsidy to companies developing alternate energy sources. Developers would receive above-market rate subsidies of 13.5 cents per kilowatt hour for wind, and 44.3 cents for solar power.
Before he left office, Smitherman undermined the open competition he himself set up by offering preferential rates and access to a huge foreign company — Samsung. The deal actually pays the consortium a premium over and above the Feed-In Tariff subsidy. Not surprisingly, it was immediately condemned by other stakeholders such as the Association of Power Producers of Ontario and the Canadian Wind Energy Association, who were locked out of the deal and access to the generous subsidies the government will pay Samsung. Independent energy consultant Tom Adams put it this way: "We don't know what's so good about Samsung because it's all been done in secret," adding: "The guts of it is that the old rules about efficiency and competitive procurement, none of that applies any more."
Those who defend the deal point out there are no domestic players with the capacity required to meet Samsung's offer. But could a consortium of players have been competitive? Could one more domestic player have demonstrated its ability to grow capacity? We don't know, because this happened entirely behind closed doors.
What we do have is the commitment from the premier that Samsung will invest $7 billion to build wind and solar clusters expected to generate 2,500 megawatts of power from green sources, and that 16,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created over six years, not all of them permanent.
That's the message McGuinty wants and needs. He's betting that the soundbite "McGuinty signs agreement that will see $7 billion invested in Ontario to create 16,000 new jobs …" will be what voters will remember, not the fact that the deal is shrouded in secrecy, excludes domestic players and will result in electricity rate hikes as Ontario electricity consumers pay up to $25 billion to a Korean multinational to run a near monopoly on the provincial energy market.
As we said, alternative energy generation capacity is a good thing for Ontario. Setting aside basic rules of openness, fairness and competitiveness is not good for anyone.

Hi Hi! 😀
I have never owned a China Glaze nail polish before and I saw a Youtuber wearing this particular one and I do love my greens so thought I would give it a try,
First Look
Clear bottle with print. The shape seems to get slightly smaller going up. Black lid with logo. The nail polish is a pastel green but seems fairly bright.
The Nail Polish I tried
Highlight of my Summer 14ml
I have used pale nail polishes before and don't expect much from the first coat so there was no surprise that this nail polish was a touch watery and sheer on the first coat. The second coat was slightly better but I wanted to do three just to get it completely opaque. I think if I had applied the first one better the second one could have been enough. The drying time was pretty quick as I used quite thin coats of nail polish.
My Thoughts
I love the colour of this nail polish and its exciting that the colour doesn't look too weird on my nails and make my skin tone darker then it is. I think it will be nice for summer :0) Even though I have to apply three coats the quick drying time makes it bearable 😀 Very pretty 😀
I give this nail polish 8/10. I like the colour and I like the drying time I just wish it wasn't watery,
Share Your Thoughts! 😀

In the latest 'Project Fear' example, the Conservative Health Secretary has claimed the economic shock of leaving the European Union (EU) would leave a damaged National Health Service (NHS) lacking staff and vital investment.
Polling suggests most voters believe that the NHS could improve if Britain elects to leave the EU, with Britain's financial contributions to the politico-economic bloc being better spent on building hospitals.
It has also been argued that uncontrolled immigration puts undue pressure on public services already close to breaking point, with the likes of pro-Brexit Conservative MP Stewart Jackson saying:
"Jeremy Hunt has to explain how uncontrolled EU migration and Turkish EU accession will help an overstretched NHS on his watch and afterwards."
Nevertheless, in what Mr. Jackson described as one of "No. 10's puerile scares", Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt (pictured above) wrote an article for Sunday's Observer newspaper claiming that in the wake of Britain voting to leave the EU the country would face "a period of economic uncertainty and volatility" representing "a real challenge to the NHS".
Somewhat bizarrely Mr. Hunt sought to make his point by citing the fact that "according to the [Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development], Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy all cut health spending per head following the economic crisis" – an economic crisis which economists argue was made worse for those countries because of their EU membership.
Hunt's quoting of various countries where GDP dipped in the €zone crisis in a pro-Remain argument is…"courageous":https://t.co/mWJETYLDte
— Andrew Lilico (@andrew_lilico) March 26, 2016
Mr. Hunt also claims that Brexit would mean some of the 100,000 skilled EU workers populating our health and social care system would be forced home over "uncertainties around visas and residency permits", resulting in an "unpredictable impact on hard-pressed frontline services".
The tweeted response from prominent Brexit supporter Dr. Liam Fox — a former Conservative Shadow Health Secretary and general practitioner — to Mr. Hunt's piece was damning.
How many more colleagues will be forced into absurd and demeaning scare stories. Very sad. #Brexit #EUreferendum #EUref
— Dr Liam Fox MP (@LiamFoxMP) March 26, 2016
The responses of Mr. Jackson and Dr. Fox to Mr. Hunt's article are the latest example of chaotic relations within the Conservative Party.
Further evidence of the party's divided loyalties is given in The Telegraph, which says it was told by a senior Government source that the Prime Minister refuses to make eye contact with Eurosceptic colleagues, ignoring them as they pass in corridors.
Although Downing Street denied that accusation, Dan Hodges in The Mail on Sunday writes that "by common consent, Cameron is poor at massaging the egos of his allies", and proving the point quotes a Downing Street insider saying:
"Trying to negotiate with the Eurosceptics is like trying to negotiate with [Islamic State]."

In this English case, a secured lender (Nationwide) appointed administrators to three companies. However, before appointing, Nationwide had:
- Disposed of its interest through a participation arrangement to Promontoria (Carlisle) Limited (Promontoria), and
- Taken direction from Promontoria, as required under the participation arrangement.
The grantors' shareholder (who was also a creditor) sought to have the administrators' appointment terminated under the Insolvency Act on the basis that Nationwide's motives were improper, as Nationwide had deferred to Promontoria in making the decision to appoint and was attempting to stifle ongoing litigation between the companies and Nationwide.
The shareholder was unsuccessful in establishing an improper motive and having the administrators' appointment terminated.
The Court also set out the following considerations relevant to such decisions in the UK:
- An improper motive is necessary to engage the court's jurisdiction to terminate the appointment, but will not necessarily result in an order for termination
- To establish an improper motive the shareholder needed to show that Nationwide's motives were not in harmony with the statutory purposes of administration and were causative of the decision to appoint
- The improper motive may become "of relative insignificance" if the statutory purpose is likely to be achieved despite an improper motive.

Robert Mueller's Team Is Looking Into Ways To Block Presidential Pardons
This really looks like they're setting somebody up for an indictment, and they're covering all their bases.
Robert Mueller has set one of his team out to explore every possible angle to presidential pardons, in what appears to be an effort to get ahead of what might come after someone involved with the ongoing Russia probe faces charges.
Mueller has tasked Michael Dreeben with gathering what they see, judging by Trump's tweets, as the necessary information to move forward.
From Bloomberg:
"He's seen every criminal case of any consequence in the last 20 years," said Kathryn Ruemmler of Latham & Watkins LLP, who served as White House counsel under President Barack Obama. "If you wanted to do a no-knock warrant, he'd be a great guy to consult with to determine if you were exposing yourself."
Dreeben has over three decades of experience as an appeals lawyer with the Justice Department. He's served as a deputy solicitor general and has worked more than a thousand federal criminal prosecutions.
In fact, even as he's working for Mueller's investigatory team, he's retained some of his work as solicitor general.
The fear surrounding President Trump and those members of his team that have fallen under scrutiny is that Trump could be quite generous with his pardon powers, and Mueller wants any case made against any of his associates to stick.
When Trump pardoned former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, even before there was a sentencing, it struck many as highly inappropriate. His continued ranting about the "witch hunt" of the Russia probe doesn't exactly inspire confidence that he'll leave it alone, should charges come from the investigation, either.
Also, as pointed out in the Bloomberg piece, Trump has looked at the power to pardon.
Dreeben, however, is highly qualified to undertake this particular arm of the investigation. He's worked with and against the best, including Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, when Roberts was a private practice lawyer.
He lost that first case against Roberts, but has since appeared before him in his role as a Justice, many times.

Habitat for Humanitys RV Care-A-Vanner program celebrates 25 years of service
More than 200 volunteers will join Habitat for Humanity as it honors the 25th anniversary of the RV Care-A-Vanner program with a celebration build and rally in Springfield, Mo., April 21 May 4.
The RV Care-A-Vanner program is a special part of Habitats ministry that has played a significant role in improving the lives of thousands of people across North America, said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. We thank all the volunteers for their continued support and dedication to this program for the past 25 years.
During the two-week building event hosted by Habitat for Humanity of Springfield, volunteers and RV Care-A-Vanners will build two new homes and perform critical home repairs in Legacy Trails, a planned Habitat community.
Its an honor to be the host affiliate for the 25th anniversary celebration, said Larry Peterson, executive director, Habitat for Humanity of Springfield. The program has served countless families across the country and shows the many ways people can commit themselves to ending poverty housing.
The RV Care-A-Vanner program is open to all volunteers who are interested in traveling to spread Habitats ministry across the U.S. and Canada by helping local affiliates build and advocate for decent and affordable housing.
In 2012, the RV Care-A-Vanner program launched its first disaster rebuild effort in the tornado-ravaged area of Morehead, Ky. In the following year, the program established a Disaster Rebuild Team to help with rebuilding efforts in communities impacted by natural disasters, including Joplin, Mo., which was devastated by tornadoes in 2011.
Joplin Area Habitat for Humanity staff will also participate in the anniversary celebrations.
RV Care-A-Vanners have been a great source of assistance in our community following the tornado that destroyed much of the City of Joplin, said Scott Clayton, executive director, Joplin Area Habitat for Humanity. Their work performed throughout the country has been a tremendous blessing for many were thankful for this program and its selfless volunteers.

Mid Unit Check In
Lesson 5 of 9
Objective: SWBAT count groups of tens and ones. SWBAT add 10 and subtract ten from a given number.
Big Idea: This task will offer a challenging activity and will also act as a piece of formative assessment as you look deeper into how well they can add or subtract ten from a number and plan your instruction from here.
Thomas Young
Warm Up
Explain to the students that they are going to play another round of Popcorn. Remember, it is a counting game where you start with a number (pre-determined) and you count up until you get to the last number (pre-determined). Ask them to stand up in a circle. Tell the students that they are each a kernel of popcorn and ask them what happens when you heat up a kernel of popcorn? That's right, it POPS! Explain that today we will count back. We will start with the number 93 and count to 3. I will say 93 first. Then the person next to me will say 83, and then the next person 73 . . . until 13. After 13, you say 3, say POP and then sit down. The game will continue with the very next person starting the count all over again. The game continues until there is only one person left standing. That person finishes the game by repeating the entire count sequence. In this activity students are mentally adding or subtracting a ten from a number (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.C.5).
If time permits, I will then play one more round but having the students start at 5 and count off the decade by 10s.
I will also introduce a 100 bead tool that will allow the students to create a visual of counting off the decade by ten.
There are two videos of this section of the lesson in the section resource. The first video is an introduction to the tool, and the second demonstrates starting at 5 and counting by 10s.
Note: Some students may still need to use a number grid or lien to help them with this activity.
Advanced Preparation: Make enough copies of the Mid Unit Check In for your class.
"Today, I am going to ask you to start by choosing a station activity. The choices are all activities that we have played during this unit. As you are playing, I will call you over and solve a few problems for me. The problems are all focused on counting by 10s. Once you are finished with the task, you will be able to return to your station activity. If you finish one activity, you can choose another one."
By having the students start with station activities, I can manage the assessment task in a way that will allow me to see specific students take the task on 1:1 basis. Based on student work/ performance, I want to specifically watch a few students work on this task. This way I can see how they are solving each part. I want to make sure that they are counting by 10's and 1's and/or just adjusting the tens digit by 1. For the students that I know are secure, I can call them over a few at a time because I am confident of their ability to efficiently solve these problems.
I have included a video of a student, who met the standard when completing the task. I have also included a video of a of a student who demonstrated the ability to count by 10s, switch to counting by 1 and then switched back to counting by 10s. This ability is a higher level than counting all of the tens and then the ones.
In the resource section is a copy of my notes on the students that I observed take the assessment. As you can see, my notes allow me to know how each student solved each task. These notes are useful when I look at their recording sheet. They allow me to have a qualitative, more complete understanding of their thinking.
This assessment task has the students adding within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10 by using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.C.4).
The students are also given a two-digit number and are mentally finding 10 more or 10 less than the number, without having to count. They are also able to explain the reasoning used (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.C.5 and MP3).
Students are also subtract multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 from multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 using concrete models. They are relating the strategy to a written method and explaining the reasoning they used (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.C.6).
Resources (5)
Station Time
Students who are not working on the assessment task can choose from any of the station captivities listed below. Each station has been introduced and played in a previous lesson (in this unit). For a detailed description and the resources need for each activity, click on the link associated with each choice.
- Roll A Number: This activity can be found in the introduction section of the linked lesson.
- Drop Sticks: This activity is found in the station time section of the linked lesson.
- 100 Grid Challenge: This activity can be found in the introduction of 100 Grid Challenge section of the linked lesson.
Continued Practice
I will ask the students to meet me on the carpet and hand out their sheet for today's Mad Minute exercise. This routine was introduced in a previous lesson. Please check out the link to get a full overview of this routine.
I want to really focus on fact fluency and build upon the students ability to solve within ten fluently (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.6). I am going to use the Mad Minute Routine. This is a very "old school" routine, but I truly feel students need practice in performing task for fluency in a timed fashion. Students need to obtain fact fluency in order to have success with multiplicative reasoning. Students who don't gain this addition fact fluency by the end of 2nd grade tend to struggle with the multiplicative reasoning in third. Having this fluency also allows them to work on more complex tasks because the have the fact recall to focus on the higher level concepts.

Lil Bub may be the world's cutest 'perma-kitten' today, but many years ago, the famous feline was just a kitty.
Mike Bridavsky, the cat's owner, compiled the only footage he has of Lil Bub as a kitten, and posted it to YouTube on Friday.
In the aww-inducing video, Lil Bub frolics about, and playfully bites at her owner's hand. Eventually, she flashes the signature expression that would one day make her an Internet superstar.
Lil Bub, we didn't think we could fall any more in love with you.

Here are some of the (tasty) little dudes watching us watching them.
I went for a three hour rude up into the Brechfa forest trails on Sunday- it's amazing up there, and I'm starting to see lots more people. Most of the people I spoke to had made the journey down from London, and one bloke was from ipswich way!
Last night we had 18 for dinner, including my friend Frank and his partner Sally from the Eco design centre in Cardiff. They had bought along their chocolate Labrador, Marley, and bobby's friend marcus had bought his one, Rollo, so it was a bit like seeing double at times! Still, alisha and ffyon made good use of them by incorporating them into their show, which was awesome. Frank had bough some authentic Irish patchin so things deteriorated a bit as the night wore on, with peter polish even chosing frank's drink over his native vodka- a sure sign of it's authenticity!
It's a real shame that rob and claire don't feel that they want to hang out with us all and sort out the situation that has brewed over the last five years or so- they're really missing out and it's a great shame not to be a part of bela's life- I need to write to him but it's hard to know what to say....

When hundreds of people in focus groups across the nation said they favor Stanley garden tools, The Stanley Works took keen notice.
The New Britain-based tool and hardware maker tied for the lead with Sears Craftsman, far ahead of the competition. In fact, the sampled shoppers said Stanley made excellent pruners and shears.

The Lexus F SPORT frame design was based on comfort geometery, which focuses on reducing fatigue, and makes full use of the excellent flexibility and vibration damping characteristics of the carbon material. The moderate smoothness of the pedaling feel, which is central to riding performance, feels great and enables the rider to use less leg strength when riding. Additionall, the excellent ride comfort helps to reduce the fatigue that tends to build up in the later stages of a long ride. The Dura-Ace Di2 enables the rider to shift easily and freely for virtually stress-free operation. Furthermore, F SPORT pursues true riding comfort, enabling the rider to really enjoy the speed and exhilaration of a road bike.

What is involved in starting a new Regional Contest?
Regional contests are hosted by institutions of higher learning in a geographical region. Current geographic regions can be adjusted to provide for a new regional contest, especially in locations that are not currently effectively served.
To start a contest,
- Identify the geographic region to be covered.
- Recruit a steering committee of faculty members from institutions in the region willing to host the contest. The proposed director of the first contest would be the chairman.
- Identify 12 or more institutions that would field at least 24 teams at the contest. Our goal is to have from 30-40 teams per World Finals slot. In sparsely populated areas or areas where travel is prohibitively expensive, multiple sites are an option provided that there are teams from several institutions at each site.
- Write a petition to recognize the contest and award a World Finals slot. Send the petition to the Contest Manager by January 15. The earlier, the better.
- If approved, attend the Regional Contest Director's Symposium during the World Finals. The Contest Manager can provide you with an invitation.
A typical contest runs for two days, one day with technical and cultural content, the next day with a the contest and an awards celebration. Facilities are typically provided by the institution with additional expenses covered by team fees and sponsor support.
Whom do I contact?
Send mail to the Contest Manager.
