Hiring a contracted developer to work on a client project with you comes with some risk and trepidation. From the very first small project I hired Matt for to the larger full WordPress custom theme I hired him for shortly after, he has calmed all of my fears. Working with Matt is a fantastic experience. He works hard to become a trusted partner, offering solutions you hadn't thought of and being incredibly responsive. With Matt, there are no loose ends and no need for micromanagement. My agency will absolutely have more work for him in the future.
I highly recommend partnering with Matt for your web development needs. Not only is he incredibly proficient and knowledgeable, he is also extremely responsive, detailed, and dedicated to your project. I had a fantastic experience and happy to continue working with Matt with his monthly and annual web hosting and maintenance services. Thank you, Matt!
I've had the occasion to meet many and work with a few Developers over the past few years. Matt brings what so many others don't, a caring curiosity. He's genuinely interested in solving your problem. Whenever I've had questions he's always been quick to answer or ask for more details. I have been very impressed with his integrity as well...he does all he can to come under project estimate. I cannot speak highly enough.
I have had the pleasure of working with Matthew on a few web projects and have always walked away from our working experience impressed and grateful! His ability to effortless manage his time and projects, and always hit deadlines is noteworthy. His patience with complex projects that have multiple working parts is almost saintly. And, most importantly, the quality of this dev work is top-notch. I've come to rely on Matthew for all my web dev needs and strongly recommend his services.
Before I hired Matt, editing our website was always a struggle. We hired Matt to build a custom website and it surpassed my expectations. Not only is it easier then ever to make changes but it looks great too (we've also gotten more website leads then ever before). I'd recommend Matt to any small business owner who wants a website that works for them!
Matt Was amazing to work with, he provided regular updates on his progress ( which we could see through his development server ) provided key input on areas he thought may improve our site and was always on hand to make sure the site was exactly how we envisioned it. I have already recommended Matt to a couple friends, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any one else. He's a top bloke and strives to make sure you are 100% happy with the end product. Thanks again Matt, we love the site you have created for us!
Matt is Awesome! Responsive - On-time - On-budget and a fantastic product. We needed help for a large multi-faceted word-press site. Matt crushed it. The site is better than I ever imagined it could be. If you have a chance to use his services you will not be disappointed.
Matt provided us with exceptional service and insight. He was timely with his work and his communication throughout the process was extraordinary. His creative insight allowed us to create a product that was user-friendly as well as allowing us to easily manage it in the future.
I very much appreciate Matt Whiteley's efforts in coding work over these past months for several websites. It's not only a pleasure to see my latest project (an online deals website) become a reality, but seeing it make big results fast. Thank you Matt for all your support and assistance. You are very personable, offer a great value, work fast, and offer 500% results. I highly recommend.
I first hired Matt to build my customized online retail store. He works quickly and diligently and creates beautiful, functional, and clean work. He is very fast to respond to any inquiry and communicates clearly. A HUGE thumbs up for Matt!
I have had Matt work on a wesbite of mine on several occassions. Even though I live in Australia, and Matt in the US, there was no trouble and all work was done quickly and with great results. I would highly reccomend Matthew to others as he provides quality work, with great value. I will continue to ask Matt for his services and am happy to reccomend him to others.
Mathew was a blessing, we had a big show in California, we needed to have a new section of our site completed over the weekend for the show on Monday morning. We hired Matt with the hopes he could deliver, not only did he drop his plans for the weekend to work on our Vooluu.com COOP site. Not only did he achieve great success, he went above and beyond...
Matt is one of those people you wish you could find. He's intelligent, focused, committed, organized, and never complains. No matter what the situation is, or how challenging, he's always looking for solutions, never loses his focus or cool, and keeps putting out the same excellent work time after time.
Matthew is very punctual and did an outstanding job creating a plug in to manage a custom post type for my Wordpress web site. He works fast and responded quickly to my comments and made the changes I requested. I would recommend Matthew to anyone who needs a quality web developer.
I've worked with Matt on various projects over the last few years and his expertise, ability to offer solutions, attention to detail and professional approach has been an incredible asset to my projects. If you're looking for a developer that offers excellent service and will go above and beyond and offers competitive rates then look no further.
There are very few people in the business world that can somehow perfectly blend creativity while maintaining true professionalism- that person is Matthew Whiteley. For me, he was able to blaze a path to very a complex website when others before him failed miserably. His responsiveness, patience, effectiveness, and solution driven mind is unmatched in his field of expertise and I am very thankful to have the opportunity to work with him.

When: 2009-03-22
Collection location: Sewanee, Franklin Co., Tennessee, USA [Click for map]
Who: Chris Parrish (kitparrish)
Location: 35°13'21.51"N, 85°57'3.86"W, el. 572 m, Rutledge Point Trail.
Substrate and habitat: Growing on and through a layer of mosses on a near vertical sandstone cliff in a patch of rock given to seepage, in oak-dominated eastern deciduous woodland at the western rim of the Cumberland Plateau.
Identification: Specimens of this lichen were identified by Gary Perlmutter at the UNC Herbarium as Peltigera polydactylon. Gary remarks that the "Peltigera is possibly two taxa, one with small lobes and another with large ones. I've split the sample into 031 (small lobed) and 031a (large lobed). Both are P. polydactylon s. lat. While Brodo et al. (2001) keys the large lobed to possibly P. neopolydactyla, Harris & Ladd (2005) are more cautious: 'We do not pretend to understand the P. polydactylon complex in eastern North America.' I've grown to err on the side of caution, and this being more recent than Brodo et al., am following Harris and Ladd."
Interesting to compare the relatively sparse, dark, bushy or cable-like rhizines in these photos with the dense, white, smartly regimented, sabre-tooth rhizines in Observation 13159.

Yes, I'm still very unsure of the ID of observation 13159: depending on how you classify the veins (which are not visible in my photos) it may also key out to P. degenii; and depending on how broad and wavy the lobes are, it could key out to P. neopolydactylon. Actually, I think I would go with that knowing what I know now, but that is still too little to be sure, and Gary's comments about the taxonomic state of thes polydactyon group convince me not to try!
As for rhizines. In this group they should "mostly taper to a point" (Trevor Goward's key). I see at least one of yours tapering to a point (e.g. image 42161). I believe it is important to look at the rhizines near the edge that are not yet actually attached to the substrate. (All attached rhizines will eventually splay out upon touching the substrate.) I don't actually see any "pristine" rhizines in your photos, interestingly. Not sure what that means. So I would be hesitant to classify your rhizines as "bushy" based on the photos. As for color… Well, you can only see the very youngest rhizines on my observation; generally older rhizines turn darker in my limited experience, even in species which supposedly have white undersides.
It is interesting to compare to my observation 13159, isn't it?… But just between you and me, I haven't a clue when it comes to Peltigera, for all I know it's a completely different species!

Gender Constituency Statement
Good morning to everyone. Allow me first to thank the Transitional Committee members and secretariat for their invitation and allowing the Women and Gender NGO Constituency voice and space , albeit quite limited, in this important meeting to design the funding mechanism for global efforts to address Climate Change.
I am Frances Quimpo of the Center for Environmental Concerns in the Philppines, speaking on behalf of the constituency and the APWLD or the Asia Pacific Forum on Women Law and Development (APWLD).
- The Green Climate Fund has an opportunity to distinguish itself from existing funds by being the first to integrate a gender perspective from the outset. Gender equality and gender justice in accordance with international human rights, including women's human rights, must be the guiding principles of the Green Climate Fund. Gender equality as a cross-cutting issue must inform the Transitional Committee's discussions about every aspect of the fund – from the statement of principles tostatement of governance, from the fund's scope to beneficiaries, from actual gender-balanced representation in the Fund's Board and other decision-making bodies to the institutionalization of monitoring and evaluation and redress mechanisms . The Green Climate Fund must be created as a gender-responsive climate finance mechanism by mainstreaming a gender perspective across all funding windows and funding instruments . Members of the women and gender constituency are honored to offer their knowledge in mainstreaming gender concerns in the Fund, if the TC finds it necessary.
- We would also like to echo calls of NGOs across the globe that the World Bank should not be given a role in this new global climate fund because of its notoriety in financing environmentally destructive industries and continuous promotion of dirty energy projects. These said projects have only served to weaken capacities of Asian rural and urban poor women to cope with impacts of climate change. A further reason is the World Bank's disregard for the principles and commitments espoused by the UNFCCC on the nature of climate finance, that we understand to mean that funding for adaptation must be compensatory for climate debt and be provided exclusively in form of grants. The World Bank continues to dangle loans to witting or unwitting cash-strapped calamity-ridden countries for the climate-related projects of their constituents.
- As discussions yesterday centered on the definition of country ownership, we support proposals that this be understood to mean that the GCF funding and support be anchored in the development, adaptation and mitigation contexts and strategies of every country. These plans and strategies have to be developed in a fully transparent and participatory manner, which includes the involvement of all affected, particularly women. From a gender perspective, direct access should be the primary access modality for the GCF. It needs to apply not just to nation states, but include sub-national actors, such as local governments, community and women's groups. Therefore, we would like to add that the GCF, in the furtherance of country ownership, provide guarantees for people's access and control of resources. Climate resiliency, after all, rests on men's and women's access to, control ofand sustainability of natural resources, upon which most of Asian peoples, and people all over the world, build and rebuild their lives.
- A similar concern tackled yesterday was on leveraging private sector participation. While indeed private sector funds can expand much needed resources of the GCF, we urge honorable members of the TC that the GCF remain dedicated to continual leveraging of public funds and not rely on private funds to steer it. The core of the funds for the GCF must be predictable, new and additional public contributions by developed countries. This we believe is an essential point to preserve the verypurpose, framework and principles of predictable climate finance, rather than be waylaid by, market considerations and incentives.
- Lastly, we implore that the Transitional Committee members affirm and ensure the participation of the full diversity of NGOs in the Climate Financial system, not only as mouthpieces of their respective constituencies but drivers of the fund towards equity and common but differentiated responsibility, gender equality and respect for human rights, and transparency and accountability.
Thank you. We wish the Transitional Committee success in this meeting.

Baby boom 9 months after Cubs win World Series
The World Series trophy made the rounds at Advocate Illinois Masonic medical center greeting the newest members of the Cubs fan club - and their parents. Melissa Dennis. Joe Pelnar, father to baby Addison, chose the name based on the crosstreets that Wrigley is located on, not after star shortstop Addison Russell, but his son still has a connection to the team's win.

RAF Northolt - What's the Government got to hide?
Local residents fear that RAF Northolt is being expanded under their nose.
RAF Northolt is a military airport, but after the Government lifted the cap, the number of commerical flights has increased dramatically, with 10,000 las year alone, compared to just 3,800 military flights. The increase in commercial flights has lead to extra noise and worsening air pollution for local residents - who are being denied a formal consultation on this increase of commercial flights, which affect their application. To add salt to the wound, a new report has come to light showing that Northolt could take up to 50,000 commercial flights a year, an increase of 40,000 per year.
The Government have admitted that they plan on spending £45 million on re-surfacing the runway, a significantly higher cost for re-surfacing a runway than other airports. Splashing out on such a costly renovation while Harrow Schools face extensive cuts, providing no explanation as to why and no plans for a public consultation flies in the face of local people and their concerns. Which is why MP for Harrow West, Gareth Thomas, is calling for a public consultation.
Due to RAF Northholts classification as a military base, it does not have to comply to the restrictions that a normal civilian airport has to. A civilian airport would have to secure planning approval to make the changes being made to the runway as well as increasing the number of commercial flights.
Gareth has written several questions to the secretary of state, raising concerns regarding RAF Northolt and its expansion via the backdoor.
By signing this petition you are helping Gareth send a strong message, and demanding a public consultation so the people of Harrow can have their say on the expansion of RAF Northolt.

"Dawson's Creek" star James Van Der Beek revealed he was sexually harassed as a young man in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
Van Der Beek, 40, did not say he was a victim of Weinstein, but did share his story that "older, powerful men" grabbed his behind and had sexual conversations with him when he was younger.
"I've had my a– grabbed by older, powerful men, I've had them corner me in inappropriate sexual conversations when I was much younger…" the actor wrote early Thursday.
"I understand the unwarranted shame, powerlessness & inability to blow the whistle. There's a power dynamic that feels impossible to overcome," he wrote.
Terry Crews reveals he was groped by Hollywood exec
"What Weinstein is being accused of is criminal," he continued.
"What he's admitted to is unacceptable — in any industry. I applaud everybody speaking out," Van Der Beek added.
The "What Would Diplo Do" star went public with his story after people began judging the dozens of women who came forward to accuse Weinstein of sexual harassment and rape.
Women who have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault
"Read this for perspective," he said, with a link a The Cut piece, adding: "Also for anyone brushing off harassment as 'boys being boys.'"
Harvey Weinstein says he's a 'good guy' — 'We all make mistakes'
Van Der Beek is not the first man to reveal his own experience with sexual misconduct in Hollywood. Actor Terry Crews shared a lengthy account of being groped in the genital area by a "high level Hollywood executive" in 2016.
"This whole thing with Harvey Weinstein is giving me PTSD," he wrote. "Why? Because this kind of thing happened to ME."

Influence of trace elements on stainless steels
Project ID: 7210-MA/931Funded under: ECSC-STEELRES 7C
The main aim of the project was to study the influence of trace element content (Cu, Sn, P and As) on the hot ductility of 18/8 grade austenitic stainless steel. Thirty ingots (40 kg in weight) were cast in a medium frequency induction furnace, in a controlled atmosphere (high vacuum and argon pressure). High purity raw materials were used, and process variables were controlled in order to ensure that there was no other important effect on hot ductility, besides the effect of trace element concentration, for every testing condition. A study of the results suggests nearly additive combined effects for P and As contents and an approximate multiplicative effect for the pair Cu and Sn. The overall effects on hot ductility can be considered as a sum of the effects of the two groups: P, As and Cu, Sn. The relative influence of every trace element can also be established. For the conditions of the study, it is possible to predict, using mathematical correlations, the loss of hot ductility on a 18/8 grade steel as a function of trace element concentration.

What is it? A website bringing the extensive archive of photographer Richard Demarco's Edinburgh Festival images to the public. Demarco has photographed artists and their works at every festival for more than 50 years, yet his extraordinary images have never been made easily accessible. This web app's strength was in "the combination of someone playing 'curator' (Katy) and someone making the code," Stef explains. "I think there's something in there that could work well for other hack days."

Germany asks Tesla to nix 'Autopilot' in ads, but maybe it should worry about stupid drivers instead
Germany's Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt has asked Tesla to stop using the term 'Autopilot' to describe its electric cars' driving assistance system in ads, reports Reuters.
The feature, which lets Tesla vehicles drive and park themselves, has been improperly used in the past – drivers have been reported in recent times as sleeping at the wheel and even rushing themselves to the hospital with Autopilot engaged. In May, a person died when their Tesla failed to avoid an accident while in Autopilot mode.
Do you want to be a cryptocurrency millionaire?
Don't get your hopes up.
Tesla countered by pointing out that the term 'Autopilot' has been used in aerospace for decades, and that the car maker had always made it clear to customers that its assistance system required drivers to pay attention at all times:
Just as in an airplane, when used properly, Autopilot reduces driver workload and provides an added layer of safety when compared to purely manual driving.
While I'm all for passenger safety, I'm with Tesla on this one. The feature is designed to improve your driving experience, and it should, like anything that involves a hunk of metal weighing a couple thousand pounds moving at high speeds, be used with caution and full understanding of its boundaries – no matter what it's called.
Plus, Tesla is working to constantly improve the system, which has only been involved in a single fatality in 130 million miles. Last month, it released a firmware update that allowed the onboard radar to better assist Autopilot in sensing nearby vehicles and obstacles, so its cars can "almost always hit the brakes correctly even if a UFO were to land on the freeway in zero visibility conditions."
In addition, the company recently added a new safety feature which warns the driver three times to place their hands on the wheel before the car slows to a stop and automatic steering disengages, refusing to reengage until the car is parked manually.

It's not too late to avoid the shame of being someone who gives iTunes gift cards as, like, a Main Gift. Here are five werewolf gift ideas that you can obtain and deliver digitally in less time than it took you to read this.
The psychedelic sludge riffs of instrumental doom metal outfit Shooting Guns perfectly scored the 80's-schlock-inspired gorefest WolfCop. Tracks like "Hounds of God" give you a sense of what it might feel like to be a stoned werewolf, and atmospheric pieces like "The Family of the Vaurdlak" and the synth-tastic "Burchard von Worms" round out an audio experience that stands on its own. Available via Bandcamp and iTunes.
I was a fan of this wonderful "Werewolf Comedy Puzzle Adventure" game from Brawsome before it even came out, and it's been my lifeline to sanity during many a tedious flight. The great writing, charismatic art and maddening puzzles make it a worthy addition to anyone's game library, whether they just like werewolves and puzzles or they're nerdy enough to know why someone named MacGuffin being cursed by a trinket is funny. It's available for OS X, iOS and Windows through a variety of retail options.
Sockweb's backstory alone is enough to make their album "Werewolf" a must-have, but luckily the music kicks ass, too. Featuring ferocious drumming, insane guitars and the surprisingly effective grindcore scream-singing of a 7-year-old girl, the 11-track album goes off like a candy-coloured hand grenade. Available via Bandcamp.
I'm going to keep hitting you over the head with this until you acquiesce. Todd McCullough's eight-part graphic novel is my favourite werewolf comic of all time, and it's not even done yet. You can get issues 1 through 6 from ComiXology or McCullough's Gumroad page. The nudity and graphic violence makes it wholly inappropriate for kids, but the oppressive atmosphere and gorgeous art makes it essential for horror fans.
"Blood of the Werewolf" is the perfect holiday gift for anyone who has too many game controllers. This award-winning platformer from Scientifically Proven is actually scientifically proven to be insanely difficult, but also insanely entertaining. I'm still waiting for that OS X port, but it's available for Windows via Steam and Amazon, but should probably be played on the Xbox or PlayStation 3 for the full controller-crushing effect.

Recently home to Tartuffe and currently hosting Auckland Theatre's version of Roald Dahl's The Twits, Queen's Street's new Q Theatre has well and truly established itself on the Auckland arts scene.
For Annie Dow, its success is cause for celebration – Dow Design worked as consultants to the Q Theatre initiative for seven years.
"There's no other freeform performance space like it in New Zealand, and just like the theatre itself, we designed the Q brand to be fluid, agile, vibrant and diverse. We chose the simplicity of the name for similarly appropriate reasons, Q for Queen Street, Q for queue, Q for theatre cue."
The first purpose-built theatre in central Auckland since the Aotea Centre opened in 1990, Q is partly contained within a heritage building.
"The interior is a great mix of old baroque and contemporary styles," says Dow Design creative director Donna McCort.
"We collaborated with Cheshire Architects to incorporate natural textures and hand-done artistry to make the space feel comfortable, as well as vibrant mixes and juxtapositions that help encapsulate Q's essence of the human spirit, ingenuity and excellence."
Q director Carla Theunissen says the involvement of the theatre community and Dow Design is evident in the final design.
"The venue was planned perfectly to fit artists' needs, tell their story and celebrate art. It is a fantastic, funky, and most importantly flexible performance space, where almost anything is possible."
The Q logo and signature elements first seen in the street hoarding during construction have been carried through to the interior of the theatre and its promotional material.
"The freeform creative line and expressive splodges represent artistry and expressive energy," says McCort. "While the customised typeface of the logo is simple and round in form, but rich and bold in colour, creating a confident, contemporary and vibrant look."

Dos Rios Ranch Identified as a Potential State Park
River Partners' Acquisition Site Included in Central Valley Vision Implementation Plan
Dos Rios Ranch. Photo © Douglas Steakley Photography.
California State Parks has identified a portion of one of our acquisition projects – Dos Rios Ranch – as a high priority area for new park land, according to its "Draft Central Valley Vision Implementation Plan."
This recognition marks an important step in a multi-year effort, spear-headed by River Partners and the Tuolumne River Trust, to acquire this important conservation property.
Comprised of 1,600 acres of floodplain land at the confluence of the San Joaquin and Tuolumne rivers, the Dos Rios Ranch sits directly across from San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge (SJRNWR). Once acquired and restored, Dos Rios Ranch, combined with the SJRNWR, will make one of the most biologically rich areas in the entire San Joaquin Valley, creating more than 8,550 areas of environmentally enhanced flood corridor habitat.
This acquisition also will reduce flood risk to adjacent agricultural lands. The Dos Rios Ranch can provide up to 10,000 acre feet of floodwater attenuation, offering significant transient water storage capacity.
For the community, making a portion of Dos Rios a State Park will increase outdoor recreation opportunities near Modesto in the San Joaquin Valley, an underserved region statewide. It will expand public access along the Tuolumne and San Joaquin Rivers. Further it will protect open space in California's fastest growing region, the Central Valley.
Although the deadline for comments was December 15, those who are interested can find a copy of the Draft Central Valley Vision Implementation Plan.
Historically State Park funds have gone to the coast or Southern California. River Partners would like to take this opportunity to applaud State Parks' initiative for the Central Valley.

Paranormal / Supernatural
A Wesley Peterson murder mystery...
A Perfect Death is set on the premise that the recent brutal killing of a woman in the same field where a Jeanne de Minerve (a thirteenth century Cathar) was transformed into the legendary 'Burning Bride' is in some way, connected. Perhaps, the fact that the victim in question was also burnt alive may have been a coincidence too far.
DI Wesley Peterson had been holidaying in France with his wife, a holiday that had gone very well indeed until an old university acquaintance, Ian Rowe, started pestering him about a missing friend called Nadia. Wesley was prepared to go along with Rowe's fantasist notions for a while, but on returning back to Devon, the reality of a particularly gruesome murder puts pay to that – besides, Rowe had mysteriously and quite suddenly vanished from France.
Grandal field. Seemingly nothing out of the ordinary; recently purchased by a developer called Jon Bright who is keen to build on it, but who must undergo due process first, which consists of an archaeological dig. Wesley's old friend, Neil, is responsible for the dig and is in no hurry to oblige Mr Bright will the required speed. Not only is the site potentially of historical value, but the recent murder of an unidentified woman has made everyone jittery.
The Pure Sons of the West are an organisation dedicated to the passive harassment and torment of second-home owners in the region who are perceived to be out-pricing the locals from the housing market. Jon Bright's wife has been receiving rather nasty letters threatening to burn her alive.
Suddenly, there is another fire – another death – a man, presumed to be Ian Rowe. Then, the Bright's summerhouse is set alight, though fortunately, no one is injured. More death threats, more secrets, more lies; and amongst them all is the legend of the Burning Bride and an archaeological dig of Grandal field done in the 1980's that suddenly stopped.
Ellis has a way of commanding attention through her writing; it is in the short, sharpness of tone and language and the prepossessing nature of her characters. Wesley's personal life is almost as enticing as the plot itself, which to some might be a distraction, to others, merely an elaboration of his essence. Whichever side you decide to plum for, no one can dispute that Ellis has honed her skills at whodunits. Rather pleasurably, I prefer the somewhat crass and overbearingly forthright, DCI Gerry Heffernan, to Wesley's more subtle and subdued persona and would have preferred him to end up as the undeserving and rather bashful hero at the end, but perhaps one day old Gerry will have his day? Until then, Wesley will make do.

(Excerpts from Wikipedia)
A jack-o'-lantern is a carved pumpkin, turnip or beet, associated chiefly with the holiday of Halloween, and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called will-o'-the-wisp or jack-o'-lantern. In a jack-o'-lantern, the top is cut off, and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image, usually a monstrous face, is carved out, and the lid replaced. It is typically seen during Halloween. In origin, in the British Isles, turnips and beets were used whereas, in North America, pumpkins are used almost exclusively.
A traditional Irish Jack-o'-Lantern in the Museum of Country Life, Ireland
Modern carving of a Cornish Jack-o'-Lantern made from a turnip.
The story of the Jack-O'-lantern comes in many variants and is similar to the story of Will-o'-the-wisp, retold in different forms across Ireland andScotland. An old Irish folk tale tells of Stingy Jack, a lazy yet shrewd farmer who was getting chased by some villagers from whom he had stolen, when he met the Devil, who claimed it was time for him to die. However, the thief stalled his death by tempting the Devil with a chance to bedevil the church-going villagers chasing him. Jack told the Devil to turn into a coin with which he would pay for the stolen goods (the Devil could take on any shape he wanted); later, when the coin/Devil disappeared, the Christian villagers would fight over who had stolen it. The Devil agreed to this plan. He turned himself into a silver coin and jumped into Jack's wallet, only to find himself next to a cross Jack had also picked up in the village. Jack closed the wallet tight, and the cross stripped the Devil of his powers; and so he was trapped.
Jack only lets the Devil go when he agrees never to take his soul. After a while the thief died, as all living things do. Of course, his life had been too sinful for Jack to go to heaven; however, the Devil had promised not to take his soul, and so Jack now had nowhere to go. He asked how he would see where to go, as he had no light, and the Devil mockingly tossed him an ember that would never burn out from the flames of hell. Jack carved out one of his turnips (which were his favorite food), put the ember inside it, and began endlessly wandering the Earth for a resting place. He became known as "Jack of the Lantern", or Jack-o'-lantern.
Jack-o'-Lantern World Records
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, a record was set on October 21, 2006 when 30,128 jack-o'-lanterns were simultaneously lit onBoston Commons Highwood, Illinois tried to set the record on October 31, 2011 with an unofficial count of 30,919, but did not follow the Guinness regulations so the record did not count. Guinness still holds Boston as the world record holder.
The World's Largest Jack-o'-lantern
The world's largest jack-o'-lantern was carved from the then-world's-largest pumpkin on October 31, 2005 in Northern Cambria, Pennsylvania, United States by Scott Cully. The pumpkin was grown by Larry Checkon and weighed 1,469 lb (666.33 kg) on October 1, 2005 at the Pennsylvania Giant Pumpkin Growers Association Weigh-off.
Be sure to "like" Winterberry Gardens on Facebook – for the entire month of October, we are celebrating #31DaysOfPumpkins! We will be featuring amazing jack-o'-lantern designs every day. If you have a unique carving – post it on our wall!

Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Common Core Standards
The Common Core Standards are outlined for English language arts and mathematics, but they also describe how literacy should be incorporated into other core content areas, such as science and social studies. As of 2016, the majority of public schools in the U.S. have fully implemented the Common Core Standards. Most states have adopted standards that tie together the national Common Core with standards that are applicable to their state; for example, schools in Pennsylvania have incorporated the Pennsylvania Core Standards. There are also national standards in areas such as math, science, and technology; although these are not required to be implemented in schools, many choose to include them in the curriculum in some way.

In the barn of the Dunham Tavern Museum, the quartet demonstrated both range and focus, showing off the group's unique sound in works by Mozart and expanding its ranks to play a sextet by Brahms.

About Elements Yoga
When searching for a name that encompassed the principles of her studio, founder Erika Cooper turned to the five elements—earth, air, fire, water, and ether—and their relation to the five senses for inspiration. She settled on Elements Yoga, which was perfect, as the bedrock of her philosophy is to continuously learn, grow, and remain aware of the world around us. Hence, she ensures each session at Elements is a communal and multisensory experience—in addition to traditional yoga postures, she has students chant, sing, and dance in a friendly and engaging environment that encourages laughter and very slow, purposeful high-fives. Cooper also believes in the power of education, which is why many of her classes include readings and lessons on the history of yoga and Sanskrit. She extends those teachings to regular workshops, as well as to the studio's certification program.
In an effort to give back to the community through the practice of yoga, Elements hosts weeklong donation-only classes five times a year with 80% of the proceeds passed on to local charities.

Scientists To Make Deadlier Versions Of H7N9 Bird Flu In Lab• http://www.popsci.com, By Francie Diep
H7N9 first arose in eastern China this spring. Since then, it has killed 43 people and sickened 90 more. The outbreak is now under control, but the research team says the virus could gain traction again this winter flu season, so they want to do so-called gain-of-function studies to learn more about the virus quickly.
Gain-of-function studies are controversial. While it's normal for international scientists to study disease outbreaks intensely, gain-of-function studies take it another step by making epidemic pathogens more dangerous, if only within labs. When scientists wanted to publish the first gain-of-function studies of H5N1 avian flu in 2011, public outcry led them to stop further studies for more than a year.

Tragic storms blast southern states
Hundreds homeless as death toll rises, responders scramble to provide help
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.(UPI) | April 28, 2011
More than 300,000 Alabama customers were without power Thursday after devastating storms spawning a deadly tornado killed at least 58 people, officials said.
The evening twister in Tuscaloosa, Ala. -- one of several that struck the state -- flattened homes and buildings and brought further damage and death to a region already battered by storms.
All told, at least 100 people were killed Wednesday in storms across the South, officials said.
The number of dead and injured in from the Tuscaloosa tornado, whose wind speeds topped 135 mph, was not clear early Thursday, as many people remained trapped under rubble, officials said.
Firefighters, police officers and residents worked into the night trying to free a University of Alabama student trapped under several feet of debris, The Tuscaloosa News reported. The woman yelled she couldn't feel her legs.
Tuscaloosa, Alabama's fifth-largest city, is home of the University of Alabama.
The tornado raced out of town and later passed north of downtown Birmingham, which had been battered by another storm earlier in the day, officials said.
"We have line crews on the way from as far away as Illinois to assist in the recovery," Alabama Power Co. spokesman Michael Sznajderman told The New York Times.
If dangerous storms forecast for later this week materialize as predicted, "the number of outages could be as high as what we saw with Hurricane Ivan or Hurricane Katrina," he said.
President Barack Obama authorized emergency federal assistance for Alabama late Wednesday.
The tornado was the latest in a series of southern U.S. storms this week that brought heavy rains and flooding from Texas to Georgia, officials said.

…is that they're really good with words.
Earlier that day a colleague had written to say that the campus police had moved in to take down the Occupy tents and that students had been "beaten viciously." I didn't believe it. In broad daylight? And without provocation? So when we heard that the police had returned, my wife, Brenda Hillman, and I hurried to the campus. I wanted to see what was going to happen and how the police behaved, and how the students behaved. If there was trouble, we wanted to be there to do what we could to protect the students.
Once the cordon formed, the deputy sheriffs pointed their truncheons toward the crowd. It looked like the oldest of military maneuvers, a phalanx out of the Trojan War, but with billy clubs instead of spears. The students were wearing scarves for the first time that year, their cheeks rosy with the first bite of real cold after the long Californian Indian summer. The billy clubs were about the size of a boy's Little League baseball bat. My wife was speaking to the young deputies about the importance of nonviolence and explaining why they should be at home reading to their children, when one of the deputies reached out, shoved my wife in the chest and knocked her down.
My wife bounced nimbly to her feet. I tripped and almost fell over her trying to help her up, and at that moment the deputies in the cordon surged forward and, using their clubs as battering rams, began to hammer at the bodies of the line of students. It was stunning to see. They swung hard into their chests and bellies. Particularly shocking to me — it must be a generational reaction — was that they assaulted both the young men and the young women with the same indiscriminate force. If the students turned away, they pounded their ribs. If they turned further away to escape, they hit them on their spines.
"Whose university?" the students had chanted. Well, it is theirs, and it ought to be everyone else's in California. It also belongs to the future, and to the dead who paid taxes to build one of the greatest systems of public education in the world.

Product details
"From the Tour to the amateur golfer, distance with consistency is the ultimate performance goal. With M4 driver, we have combined our revolutionary Twist Face technology with a new Hammerhead slot and a refined Geocoustic sole design to produce straight distance with a massive sweet spot. The result is consistent driving performance through a premium blend of power, forgiveness, and accuracy."
Brian Bazzel – Vice president – Product Creation
M4 Driver:
- Twist face technology
- Hammerhead Slot
- Geocoustic
- Fuji Atmos Red Graphite Shaft & 12 Month Warranty
Twist face
This is a revolutionary new face curvature with a corrective face angle on off-centre hits, engineered to reduce side spin and deliver straighter shots. Twist Face provides more loft in the high-toe and less loft in the low-heel to produce more consistent spin where golfers commonly mishit.
Hammerhead slot
A new sole slot implemented into TaylorMade's most adjustable driver for the first time! The reinforced outer portions of the slot allow for a lighter, more flexible face, resulting in a larger sweet spot and the centre portion of the slot increases ball speed low on the face and drops unwanted spin for more distance.
Specifically designed for a solid and explosive sound. The reduced sole volume enables a larger, more forgiving face.
This M4 driver also comes with its own branded head cover.

On my last trip to Israel, I met a specially talented wedding dress designer and decided to interview her about her personal life and her gorgeous wedding dresses brand called "Motil – Bespoke Bridal".
And that's her INSPIRING story (mixed with me on images, playing with her dresses) 🙂
"I am a mother, a businesswomen and a designer.
I was born with a talent in my hands; however, I studied law since I wanted to prove the world that I'm working with my mind and not only with my hands.
After a while, I understood that the only person I needed to prove something to is myself.
About 12 years ago, I fell in love with the world of fashion. My biggest love in the fashion world- was bridal dresses – I find them magical
So, I created my own brand MOTIL – BESPOKE BRIDAL.
Then, I realized that I am not only good – I am super talented and capable of things I did not even know before I started my magical bridal dresses line.
My brand allows me to use my endless imagination by creating fantastic dresses for amazing women worldwide. At the same time, it gives me the wonderful opportunity to meet and deliver these women strength and spiritual experience.
Bridal dresses are a phenomenal world of fairies and sparkling dust, endless creation and countless dreams.
I wake up every morning to this amazing world and I dream about it at night. A World full of endless possibilities were my mission is making confident, proud, glamorous brides.
My vision is to empower women, and I found a place where I can do it.
A place where I can professionally, in a courteous way, give with love lots of experience, confidence and power no matter what is your size. I give an experience of joy and precision, gentleness and abundance.
My dresses are sexy and often romantic with a bohemian touch. They are simple and sophisticated all together. very gentle, they full of feminine power and they are made with a wide smile.
My dresses will flatter everyone. On top of all, they are especially comfortable and light.
When you walk while wearing these dresses, it feels like magic is happening. It feels like you are walking on a cloud, a shiny cloud with sparkles and magic.
And when magic is here, it spreads around to everyone else.
That's what my dresses are all about. MAGIC."

D-St bleeds: Sensex pulls back marginally
Dec 11, 2006, 01.23 PM IST
NEW DELHI: It was a 'Bloody Monday' at the Dalal Street that ended the bull run today. While some analysts said that it was the bubble burst, others felt it was a correction to the momentum of the last fortnight. The stock markets slid in the early afternoon trade to plunge over 500 points before a mild recovery was witnessed soon after. All sectoral indices were in the nagative while banking stocks were the worst hit. Sensex and Nifty had lost almost 3% by the afternoon. The nagative sentiments were led by ICICI Bank and State Bank of India after the Reserve Bank of India tightened monetary policy while Tata Steel dropped on its raised bid for Anglo-Dutch steel maker Corus. A sell-off had gripped bank shares, while telecom service providers, cement and auto shares had drifted lower.
At 1.20, the Sensex was down 342 points at 13,458 and the Nifty was down 102 points at 3,463.
The market-breadth was weak. For 1,596 shares declining on BSE, 776 rose. A total of 62 shares were unchanged. Losers outpaced gainers by a ratio of 2:1.
The BSE clocked a turnover of Rs 2,290 crore.
Among the 30-Sensex pack, 5 advanced while the rest declined. In NSE, there were 151 advances and 791 declines.
Among the sectoral indices, almost all were trading in the negative territory. Banking stocks plunged 5.37%, metal stocks declined 2.35%, PSU stocks fell 1.85%, FMCG stocks were down 0.96% while IT stocks rose marginally at 0.16%.
The major market movers on Sensex were Satyam which gained 0.78% to Rs 460.25; Infosys rose 0.67% to Rs 2,211.90, Cipla rose 0.61% to Rs 248; TCS jumped up 0.37% to Rs 1,180.55 and ONGC rose 0.23% to 842.45. ABB, Satyam, BPCL, Infosys and Cipla were the major gainers in the NSE.
The major BSE losers were State Bank of India which declined 5.87% to Rs 1,274, ICICI Bank fell 4.93% to Rs 833.50, HDFC Bank was down 4.15% to Rs 1,040, Tata Steel fell 4.14% to Rs 462.45 and ACC fell 2.59% to Rs 1,076.60 .
In a surprise move late on Friday, the RBI raised the cash reserve ratio, or the percentage of bank's cash deposits kept with the central bank, by 50 basis points to 5.50%. State Bank of India plunged 6% to Rs 1,269, ICICI Bank lost 5% to Rs 829.70 and HDFC Bank shed 4.8% to Rs 1,032. Banks are likely to take a final view on raising interest rates on loans as well as deposits, by the end of this week, or early next week. Reports suggest that interest rates on home loans are set to rise.
Patni Computer Systems Ltd declined 0.9% to Rs 400 after Sage Software India announced the appointment of the company as business partner for positioning and implementing Sage CRM SalesLogix solutions in India.
SpiceJet Ltd spurted 9.7% to Rs 58.65 after Tata group picked up 'less than a 10% stake' in the airline, in a deal an industry source valued at about $22 million.
Hero Honda Motors Ltd fell 2.1% to Rs 728 on Hero group's plans to step up its presence in four-wheeler auto components through acquisitions.
Asian markets were mostly in the green. Key benchmark indices in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Singapore were up by between 0.02 - 1.1%
Nymex crude was down 31 cents at $61.72 a barrel.
