In today's fast-paced online, mobile and digital world, it's likely you are doing more shopping, working and enjoying entertainment online. To facilitate these activities, different security protocols are used so you can access data and information while keeping hackers and criminals out.
Identity proofing – sometimes called identity verification – is the process of verifying and authenticating your identity. Security professionals have identified three components that must be aligned to ensure your actual identity matches your ID credential:
For example, it is common to provide a password and email address to access different accounts. At the same time, companies, organizations and educational institutions have to fight hackers, ensure compliance and provide an attractive, easy way for you to prove your identity.
New identity proofing technology and approaches have been developed to increase security from the time you create your account through your entire relationship with the organization. Modern identity proofing solutions often involve multiple methods, each one enhancing the effectiveness of the others. They must be flexible and adaptable to the constantly changing demands of the marketplace.
For example, Personal Identity Verification-Interoperable (PIV-I) credentials support robust identity proofing through the use of multifactor authentication, protecting against infiltration by even the most sophisticated hacking groups. A SureID Certified PIV-I™ credential is provisioned with digital certificates, photo and fingerprint and is among the most effective ways of addressing security vulnerabilities both online and on-premise.
Ensuring that the right person is accessing data and information protects you, businesses, governments and organizations from fraud and waste. For example, in 2010, New Jersey authorities uncovered a crime: millions of dollars were being lost to fraudulent unemployment insurance payments.
New Jersey authorities said the case motivated them to improve their digital security and identity proofing. Their efforts were rewarded when they determined they had prevented almost $450 million in bogus payments from leaving state coffers. The State of New Jersey was able to prevent more than 300,000 people from collecting fraudulent benefits using stolen identities and other illegal schemes through identity proofing their efforts were noticed and duplicated in other states facing similar challenges.
In today's digital environment, you must be identity proofed to ensure that you are the person that is:
As the digitization of our society continues, one of the most important assets that you control is your personal identity. It's vital you have the tools and techniques available to prevent bad actors from accessing your identity and wreaking havoc on your financial, social and personal assets.
SureID will follow up with you within the next 48 hours.

|1912: Titanic Mystery
|Joindots GmbH / Ocean Media LLC / 21 Rocks, LLC
|On the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, a replica is launched to complete the maiden voyage interrupted by the tragic events one century before. However, one of the passengers receives a note about a bomb hidden somewhere on the boat. The passenger must follow the clues left behind by the terrorist, searching the ship to find the device and prevent another tragedy. 1912: Titanic Mystery is a hidden object game with adventure elements, where the main objective is to find and click on all the items listed at the left side of the screen, on the various rooms and other locations filled with scattered items around the ship. All the locations have three gameplay sections: initially the player has to find several instances of the same item, then search for a list of objects and finally collect all the pieces of a special tool, that appears as a picture below the list. The tool has to be dragged and dropped on a specific portion of the scenery to access one of the mini-games. These puzzles have to be solved to complete the scene and move to the next one. The mini-games appear on a window at the center of the screen, where the player must reassemble jigsaw puzzles, find all the differences between two similar images, decode Morse code messages with a machine and perform other similar activities. They can be skipped, with a penalty of 10 minutes. The hint button is a pile of lifesavers, showing the position of one of the required items when activated. Extra buoys can be found on each location, with a maximum of 6 stored at any time. The completed puzzles can be replayed from the main menu.

I have struggled through the last couple of days, starting Tuesday with Hydrotherapy and then getting back into the office. There is always something to irritate you when you get back to work and I was in serious danger of falling into the negative trap of thinking things through a step too far. You know the things 'people are sidelining me' 'they must be trying to get rid of me' etc etc. But of course, there is no evidence for these thoughts, and the alternative explanation is - I was on annual leave and they needed to get on with stuff without burdening me with it when I returned to work. The organisation is paying good money for an external consultant to do some of my work to support my extended phased return, and he should be doing the work because we are paying him money to do it!
So once I had a good chat with myself about the evidence for 'knowing' things that you can't know I let it go and took charge a little bit - which is what I can do and know. Less stressful than getting all paranoid.
At the end of the day - I fell asleep at 9pm - woken by my teen daughter and told to go to bed!
I also got feedback on my first assignment for the teaching course I am doing, and I passed easily with lots of positive comments from the tutor. Always good to feel you are getting things right.
I still managed to get out in the mornings to walk my dog, even though it is a short 30 minute walk, it is an achievement to get out of bed. I have kept myself motivated by taking photo's on my phone - and realise that it is definitely worth the effort to appreciate the beauty of world and rich colours and sensations that autumn gives us.

Since 2012, the European Union has set up a mechanism to monitor the implementation of the Convention, called the EU monitoring Framework. EDF is a full member, together with the European Ombudsman, the European Agency of Fundamental Rights andthe European Parliament. The European Commission withdrew itself from the Framework after the publication of the Concluding Observations of the UN CRPD Committee to the EU.
During the meetings of the Framework since 2013, the role and the functioning of the Chair and the Secretariat were decided and its working methods were adopted. From May 2013 until after the CRPD recommendations in October 2015, EDF Chaired the EU Framework and the European Commission performed the role of secretariat. The role of Chairperson and secretariat of the EU framework was taken over by the FRA at the end of 2015 until September 2017. From September 2017, EDF will be chairing the EU Framework for one year. Next year, the EU Ombudsman will take over this role. The European Fundamental Rights Agency remains the secretariat.
In 2015, the EU Framework also focused on its participation in the EU review process. The Framework presented its functioning and works to the CRPD Committee on 2 April 2015 and contributed to the constructive dialogue on 27 and 28 August 2015 with an opening and closing statement. The Framework members separately met with the Committee before the start of the Constructive Dialogue to give their views on the EU implementation of the CRPD.
The EU Framework complements national monitoring mechanisms in EU Member States and works to enhance synergies with them. Since 2013, the EU Framework organises a yearly meeting with the national monitoring frameworks with the aim to enhance complementarity and synergies in their respective work. The last meeting with the national frameworks took place in May 2017.
More information on the operational provisions, the work programme and the meetings' agenda and minutes can be found on the Framework's webpage.

|Shell power engineers Les Lebid and Jim Parker hit a homer with their presentation
Chris Davis
Canyon School kicked off their second annual Mathletics challenge with an assembly on Thursday March 19 that included several guests speakers who spoke to this year's theme of Math in the Real World. Mathletics will culminate in another Math Projects Fair on Wednesday April 15.
"Last year we had a really good response," explained Canyon School Principal Mrs. Goodreau about the return of the Math Projects Fair. "We had kids show different currencies, estimation stations, math problems, measurements, and I remember one about would it take more water to fill a bathtub or have a five minute shower, they calculate things like that, anything. It's math in the real world.
The kick off assembly began with a draw presided over by Assistant Principal Mr. Dietze, who had students help him draw prizes from tickets representing Bronze, Silver, and Gold math certificate recipients.
Guest speakers who explained how they used math and number in their jobs included Shell Waterton power engineers Les Lebid and Jim Parker, Adam Grose from the Pincher Creek Recreation Department, and auctioneer Bob Westrop.
The event concluded with an auction for a pie, a pizza, and for music teacher Candice Janzen, who just might have been wondering what she got herself into.
Outstanding new music teacher Candice Janzen
Canyon School's new music teacher Candice Janzen has been nominated for the Alberta School Boards Association Edwin Parr Outstanding Beginning Teacher Award. She's brand new to teaching and brand new to Pincher Creek, so help her feel welcome!

Norway - one year after: an open wound
On the anniversary of the terrorist attack on 22/7 2011, Sindre Bangstad has written a summary of the trial and the public discussion attached to it. – This much is clear, he writes: the now thirty-three year old Anders Behring Breivik has already lost the battle to shape the future of multicultural Norway. And we will say this again and again: history does not – and never will - absolve anyone for human evil of the kind perpetrated against innocent children, women and men in Norway.
Foto: Martin Toft, "Uniforum"
Faced with another self-righteous extreme tirade from the man who had murdered their children and their friends on the last day in court, survivors and the bereaved walked out of court in a demonstration of their contempt for Behring Breivik. Many of them will - like me - surely hope that Norway and Norwegians will never again have to listen to him and his monstrous ideas. There is and can be no other way forward for Norway and Norwegians than the rule of law, so forcefully defended by the survivors and the bereaved in the course of the trial. But for some of the survivors and the bereaved, who have been to hell and back, and continue to live in the shadow of excruciating daily physical and mental pain as a result of what a man did on 22/7 2011 who still considers himself a 'saviour' and a 'hero', that may in the end prove to be a very high price to pay for the rule of law.

Over the last decade, it was hard to lose money on gold. Gold prices, and related precious metal stocks and funds, averaged around 20% a year returns, sailing through the economic downturn. So, naturally, many people are wondering - will this extraordinary run continue, or has gold peaked?
Most observers, myself included, agree that fear and speculation are the main drivers behind the rise in gold. Its future prospects are debated ad infinitum, with partisans on every side and in between. A tiny minority of economists and politicians hope to return their country's currency to a "gold standard", despite the very serious flaws and dangers this blast from the past would engender (see comment below). But, what if we took their proposal seriously? After all, their concerns are moving the market. Would this perspective shine light on the future of gold prices?
If gold were to underpin all currencies, it would have to meet two basic, plausible economic criteria. First, is there enough gold in the world to more or less back all the paper currency in circulation? And more importantly, do gold prices rise in parallel to economic growth, as befits any well-behaved currency? It turns out the answer to both questions is "yes".
Over human history, most analysts agree around 5 billion troy oz. of gold have been mined- perhaps 4 billion are available to back currency prices. At $1,400/troy oz., the total gold supply comes to $5.6 trillion dollars. This glistening pool of gold should be compared to the number of US dollars in circulation ($1T until recently, now around $2T. Plus depository receipts, etc. Perhaps $6 T in all). Given that the US is about 1/3rd of the world's economy then, in fact, gold is a plausibly a currency replacement. Trillions for trillions - it's in the ballpark.
Secondly, does gold track GDP? This behavior is critical - if a country doubles its GDP while holding a fixed stockpile of gold, each ounce must be worth twice as much when expressed in dollar terms. To check, I've plotted gold's price versus world gross domestic product, normalized to 1967 when gold first floated free of the dollar:
logarithmic plot of Gold price compared to Gross World Product GWP (both in current dollars)
normalized to 1967 (sources: World Bank, National Mining Assoc).
While gold prices hardly rise smoothly (consistent with a "fear and awe" driven commodity), they do more or less parallel the rise in gross world domestic product. The last decade's rapid rise in gold prices have brought this precious metal more or less in sync with GWP. By this metric, its rise is necessary, not unexpected.
Based on this analysis, gold is more or less fully priced. In the future, I'd expect returns to drop in half - slowing to match GWP - or around 8-10% a year.
At least that's my two cent's worth.
An aside: why is gold a poor choice as a fundamental currency?
As a physical token, gold is a serviceable form of currency. Unlike paper bills, gold is inert and will not corrode or decay. More importantly, gold is impossible to counterfeit- a gold atom cannot be transmuted from a cheaper metal by criminals (Fraud, yes. Counterfeit, no). And it's quite dense, so a large gold value may be easily stored or transported.
Beyond these enviable physical attributes as a coin of the realm, gold is an utter disaster as a currency standard. Small government, ultra-fiscal-conservatives embrace the idea of a gold standard to limit the size and reach of the federal government. With a paper standard, the government can fund its programs by simply printing more dollars. With a gold standard, the only way the government can expand is when political leaders authorize new taxes, taking gold directly out of the pockets of its citizens. If you don't trust your elected leaders, then gold is seen as a brake on their economic reach. Printing money is viewed as taxation without representation.
But the mere existence of a gold standard turns out to be a very weak barrier. At the end of the day, we elect a government and they can temporarily interfere with the gold standard at will - as they have done multiple times in the past. Gold is no more than a baby blanket, providing comfort at night but no real protection against the cold reality of day.
The remaining gold standard proponents are the paranoid - fearing a world government takeover, or a global plague, or a societal breakdown because gays can marry. Unfortunately, zombies want payment in brains, not bullion.
But the main problem with a gold standard is one of fairness and flexibility.
Imagine some country - one we dislike, suddenly discovers a new vein of gold and and can increase world supplies by 25%. That reduces the value of our houses and savings by the same amount- for no good reason other than the expansion in the gold supply. It's as bad as printing money, but potentially worse in that a US competitor might be advantaged.
Even without a major new vein to tap, the gold standard is hardly a stable foundation for a world currency standard. Continued gold mining increases world gold reserves by about 1.5% a year. If you are not a gold mining country, this is equivalent to a yearly inflation rate of 1.5% eating away at the value of your gold-backed currency. Which means your currency declines in value by half in 45 years. Which is both silly and corrosive - why should we suffer inflation merely because there are more gold atoms around?
Globally, the problem is even more divisive. Again, imagine there are two countries separated by a wide ocean. The first is more advanced than the other, with a strong economy and a large gold holding. The other is young, eager but still developing and with few gold reserves. This second country grows internally, raising its standard of living to match the first. But now trade is impossible - the identical good in the first country costs more than in the second, by the ratio of its gold holdings. Although this inequity might balance out slowly over years of trading, it represents an onerous tax few developing countries are willingly pay.
The world economy is one hundred times larger than its currency holdings. This key insight, recognizing that physical money has no intrinsic value except as a token for the strength of the overall economy, is one of the greatest inventions of all mankind.
It's an enormous source of wealth and prosperity that a gold standard would diminish.

I am beyond grateful to all who have helped me make my dream and vision a reality. In celebration of Dancers Shape's five year anniversary, here are five things I'm thankful for in year five:

The British Hospitality Association (BHA) has called for hospitality courses to be given greater prominence by educators, at the time when many students have just received their A-level results.
New employment figures published yesterday underlined how hospitality and tourism created 13 new jobs per hour of every day last year, and according to the ONS, this equates to 120,000 new jobs in the sector.
Yet despite these figures, a stigma remains around vocational courses and the BHA is now calling for this to be changed. It is asking for a meeting with education chiefs to look at a more formalised structure so that industry leaders can work more closely with education establishments.
The proposal is asking for teachers and educators to receive more training on vocational career paths, and in particular on hospitality careers. The BHA is offering to work with educators to help provide this teacher training.
Ufi Ibrahim, CEO of the British Hospitality Association said: "As a successful industry with even greater growth prospects, we are facing labour shortages. Our industry could be making an even greater contribution to driving youth employment if the education system stopped hoarding young people in academia.
"There is still a snobbish snubbing of vocational opportunities, which enable young people to choose on-the-job training over purely academic courses. We are asking government to help us turn this around by involving more businesses in the classroom. Many young people are currently being trained in academia for the wrong types of jobs so we need to find a better way to showcase the real job opportunities available. For example, hospitality careers are ideally suited to helping 16-24 onto the first rung of their career ladders – the breadth of job roles available in hospitality and on-the-job training means that bright and focused young people can succeed very quickly."

5 Reasons to Watch UFC 177August 26, 2014
5 Reasons to Watch UFC 177
I get it. UFC 177 on Saturday isn't the best pay-per-view the UFC has ever presented. I think that's obvious.
Injuries have ravished the 177th-numbered show from the prelims to the main events. It has seemingly taken the wind out of the sails of a once-promising event, as we now scrounge the bottom of the barrel for entertainment.
I am here to tell you that UFC 177 is still watchable. That's right, I said it. UFC 177 is a show you can still watch. You may just have to go to the bar to watch it if you don't want to spend more than $50.
You may be pessimistic, but I am a half-glass-full guy. So, you want some reasons to watch UFC 177?
It's not going to be easy, but I give you those reasons right now.
The Evolution of T.J. Dillashaw
T.J. Dillashaw's first encounter with Renan Barao was a blow off. We all knew Barao was going to handle him easily, and we'd move on with life.
Oh wait, that didn't happen. Dillashaw destroyed the now-former champion.
Dillashaw was a prospect on the 14th season of The Ultimate Fighter and looked like a guy who could be a nice commodity for the UFC to have. How far he'd go, though, was something we didn't know.
Well, now we do know. His vast improvements following the reality show have been amazing. He has turned into a complete fighter, rather than a wrestler.
His continued evolution is intriguing. If this guy keeps getting better, it's going to be interesting to see where he ranks among the greats.
Bethe Looking for Second Scalp
The minute Bethe Correia held up four fingers and slowly rescinded one, it was on. Her win over "Four Horsewoman" Jessamyn Duke signaled she was here and ready to pick them off one by one.
Now she's on a mission for the title, but she's happy to take out Ronda Rousey's buddies on the way. With Duke down and Marina Shafir not in the UFC, it's natural that her next opponent is Shayna Baszler.
Baszler has been around the block a few times and is one of the true female veterans of the sport. She has the tools and skill set that will make Correia really work for a win here.
If the Brazilian is successful, she would have her second scalp from the famed group. It would be the type of storyline that could garner interest should she fight Rousey down the road.
Olympian Begins Quest for Gold...Again
There are plenty of newcomers coming to the UFC these days. Some guys are destined for short stays, while others are stars of tomorrow.
Henry Cejudo is particularly special. A former Olympic gold medalist in wrestling, he is like what Kurt Angle would be in a lighter weight class, had Angle chose MMA over professional wrestling.
He has all the tools to become a star in the sport. He has the wrestling credentials, the fighting ability, the back story and the prestige. All of that is what builds draws.
Cejudo begins his quest for UFC gold Saturday night. It won't be the first time he has been in the pursuit of a golden prize.
Prospects Galore
You may not notice it as much on the main card, but a ton of newcomers and bright prospects will be competing at UFC 177.
Some of the names you should keep an eye on are Henry Cejudo, Damon Jackson, Joe Soto and Anthony Birchak. All of these fighters are among the best prospects in their respective weight classes and will likely inhabit the UFC for time to come.
UFC 177 may lack the star power, but it makes up for it with a glimpse into the future.
What Else You Gonna Do This Saturday!?
Guys, I know UFC 177 doesn't look that appealing. I've mentioned this. But, I'm having a hard time convincing you, and realistically, what are you really going to be doing this weekend?
Saturday nights are usually reserved for parties, staying out late and forgetting about the work week. Well, that's at least how it goes for me.
There is still time for the UFC, though. And, any fights are better than no fights, right?
So, before you go out and do your thing, relax for a bit, crack a beverage and tune in to UFC 177. It could be a fun little pregame to your night.

MP Jonathan Reynolds has urged the Government to drop the controversial Health and Social Care Bill, in a debate that was sparked by a Tameside GP's online petition.
More than 174,000 people have backed a petition started by Dr Kailash Chand OBE, calling on the Government to 'Drop the Bill'.
And, on Tuesday, MPs scrutinised the Bill, which could become law as early as the end of this month.
Mr Reynolds paid tribute to the work of Dr Chand and to the success of the NHS – while pointing to the impact the planned changes could have to the services on offer and the relationship between patients and their GP.
He also pointed to the reluctance of the Government to listen to the thousands of people who have signed petitions against the changes and the professional organisations that have objected to it.
"The Government are just not willing to listen to the people who will be affected by the Bill. Kailash is not alone in opposing it. If I read out the name of every organisation that opposes the Bill, I would run out of time.
". . . It is clear that the majority of non-biased, objective opinion is against the Bill proceeding. Never in the field of public policy have so many opposed so much and been listened to so little."
Mr Reynolds pointed to the NHS' success since 1997 in cutting waiting times, lowering infant mortality, increasing life expectancy, decreasing the number of deaths due to cancer and reducing infection rates.
He dismissed the idea that the measures in the Bill were 'evolutionary', and said that the plans were a top-down restructuring of the NHS.
He said: "The Labour Government introduced reforms, which used the private sector to the advantage of the NHS. The Bill does the opposite and uses the NHS for the benefit of the private sector. The problem is not reform, but these reforms."
And outlining some of the problems in the Bill, he said: "If the Bill is passed, perhaps one of the biggest changes will be to the relationship between doctor and patient.
"Every time a patient is not referred for some sort of specialist treatment, they will wonder whether that is on clinical grounds or because their GP has one eye on the budget.
"Whatever the basis for those fears, GPs will be in a difficult position, and because NICE guidance will no longer be compulsory, the problem will be compounded when people compare their experiences with that of others, using the internet or other means.
"However the most worrying aspect derives from the stories that we hear from parts of the country where individual GPs might have a financial interest in the services that they now commission. Such a relationship would not only destroy the trust at the heart of the system, but provide perverse incentives for how it might develop in future."
Mr Reynolds had initially applied to the Backbench Business Committee for a debate on the Bill, in line with the Prime Minister's commitment that any petition gaining 100,000 or more signatures would be debated in Parliament.
His application, earlier this month, was refused – but the Bill was subsequently chosen for an Opposition Day debate by the Labour Party.
During the Opposition Day debate, Mr Reynolds paid tribute to Dr Kailash Chand. He said: ". . . I will say a few words about my constituent, Dr Kailash Chand, who began the e-petition against the Bill, which has reached 174,000 signatures.
"Kailash has been a GP in my area for 27 years. He has been awarded an OBE for his work and in 2009 he was named north-west GP of the year.
"He has dedicated his life to public health. At times he has spoken out against Government policy, whoever has been in charge. His motivation in creating this e-petition was solely his love for and belief in the NHS. We should be grateful for such public servants. I am delighted that he is here today."

Joyful melancholy
Scenes from The Visitors, a nine-channel video installation by Ragnar Kjartansson
Describe it, and it sounds like a form of slow torture: a video installation documenting in real time a marathon performance in which an artist and his hipster friends continuously sing and play the same repetitive musical verse for sixty-four minutes. Seems like a recipe for extreme tedium—not uncommon in the genres of performance and video installation. But far from being boring, Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson's The Visitors is remarkably engaging in a uniquely immersive way. Its ability to hold audiences is in part due to how it has been installed by curator Rachel Adams and sound technician Chris McDonald into the University at Buffalo Art Gallery, where it's now on view.
The Visitors is a nine-channel audio/video work in which viewers move around the gallery to observe simultaneous recordings of individual musical performers. Each section is projected large-scale in high resolution onto individual walls in two interconnected rooms of the gallery. You have to turn corners and walk around partitions to see all the performers. The work was recorded at Rokeby, a declining two-hundred-year-old, forty-three room mansion in the Hudson River landmark district that longingly recalls a bygone era of sumptuous grandeur. Kjartansson and seven musician friends are cloistered individually throughout the house, in bedrooms, parlors, a bathroom, the library, and kitchen. A group of people—some performing, some hanging out—sit outside on the veranda. Though physically isolated, the performers hear each other through the use of mikes and headphones. One camera records each.
The interior segments, shot straight-on without camera movement, abound with opulent details of ornately appointed rooms and peeling French wallpaper. The static compositions allow audiences to study the scenes like paintings. As they ready themselves for the performance, the musicians wait somberly, some bare-footed amidst the faded opulence, relaxed but pensive. The artist himself soaks in a claw-foot bathtub next to a chipped plaster wall, a trancelike upward gaze on his face and an acoustic guitar in hand. In one room, an electric guitarist sits on the edge of a bed; a woman's nude back and head poke from the covers behind him like a neoclassical figure in a painting by Ingres.
Throughout the hour, the musicians sing languidly in various harmonic combinations, while playing assorted instruments on and off: two grand pianos (furnished with the house), guitars, drums, banjo, accordion, and an antique hurdy-gurdy. One woman turns in a particularly poignant cello performance. There's a hippy-commune vibe to the whole arrangement, rooted in the rundown bucolic setting and sustained by the performers' manners and appearance. From their clothing—or lack thereof—to the men's facial hair, none of the participants would seem particularly out of place on Yasgur's Farm in 1969.
Gallery viewers become active participants in the piece, figuratively walking through the house room to room, selectively experiencing each component of the performance. The audio for each projection emanates from speakers mounted above it, collectively surrounding viewers at every point. As you approach an individual "room," that performer becomes more distinctly pronounced. The sound is stunningly crisp, capturing every creak and foot-shuffle along with the instruments and voices. The event takes place as dusk sets in, and outside the house a chorus of crickets lays down its own audio track. At one point Kjartansson adds hot water to his bath, and the faucet noise becomes part of the mix. All this John Cagian atmospheric sound adds an element of musical chance, which in a studio recording would be filtered out. During a brief music caesura, a man on the lawn by the veranda fires a cannon, and then methodically reloads for the next interlude. You can't step back and take it all in at once, so gallery visitors in essence control their own audio and video mix with their feet, and each person experiences the performance differently.
Kjartansson is doing more than pulling off a neat stunt; The Visitors is an evocative and emotionally transformative work of art. There is no real narrative, but when it's over you can't help feeling that something operatic has occurred. The minimalist lyrics are drawn from a poem penned by Kjartansson's ex-wife (artist Ásdís Sif Gunnarsdóttir) in response to their divorce. Most prominently repeated are the lines, "Once again I fall into my feminine ways" and "There are stars exploding around you and there's nothing you can do." With shifting instrumentations and harmonies, the repetitive melody and lyrics achieve remarkable emotional range, from aching sweetness to soulful lamentation to raucous brio. Parts are performed in faint a capella, then swell to lush harmonic and instrumental crescendos, and occasionally lapse into drinking song zeal. No postmodern irony here, only heartfelt sincerity. The melody is earworm memorable (I sang it for three days), but it's the virtuosic performance that imbues it with profound intensity that is in turns wistful, embittered, resigned, and finally joyous.
Over the course of an hour the effect is one of catharsis, a literal cleansing, in which Kjartansson undergoes a process of loss and deliverance. As the performance nears its culmination, the artist leaves the tub and wraps a towel around his waist, then gathers the still-singing musicians in one room. Champagne is uncorked in post-ritual jubilation. They exit the now hauntingly empty house en masse to collect the remaining chorus on the porch. The gallery audience naturally gathers with them as the strolling troubadours head across an expansive meadow, the camera pivoting to follow. The verdant expanse offers promise; the day is done and the tattered past is literally and figuratively behind. A couple dogs prance along, and a playful chase ensues in the distance when a member of the troupe yanks off Kjartansson's towel.
Eventually someone shouts "cut," abruptly reminding us that this is all just staged artifice, a performance. Despite this, there's something markedly authentic in The Visitors. It may only be art, but Kjartansson creates the impression that through this particular work he did perhaps get back to the land and set his soul free, and maybe the audience's too. The exhibition remains on view until May 14.

In your case, that extra software might very well include all of Microsoft Office XP; if so, you should know that this book devotes an entire section to how FrontPage 2002 works in conjunction with Office XP.
Why are we telling you this? Because this book runs over 800 pages in length, and you deserve to know not only what those pages consist of, but what you'll get out of them. You also deserve to know what the book does not do. It's easy when examining a book of this type to be a bit overwhelmed by the size and elaborate table of contents, which in turn makes it easy to assume that the book will do something it was never designed to do. It's also easy to assume that the book does not do something that in fact it does. We want you to know precisely what you'll get in this book, so that you can make an informed buying decision.
If you've already bought the book, thank you very much; we will do everything we can to help you get the most out of it. That's why this book has several authors, not just one—we wanted to be sure you got your information from the best source. The fact is, very few people are experts at all of FrontPage's features, because very few people use all of them extensively. Instead, we tend to focus on specific features and work with them to the point of expertise. Some FrontPage experts specialize in the web authoring features, others in the web management features, still others in the integration of FrontPage and the larger Office suite. All the authors in this book have used all of FrontPage 2002, but over the many editions of this book, we've each maintained our individual focus so that we can provide our readers with the strongest discussions possible.
FrontPage 2002 is a powerful but easy-to-use software package. We hope you find the same to be true of this book. Thanks for joining us.
This book has four purposes:
Make it easy for you to use FrontPage 2002's authoring features to create and develop your Web sites with the maximum of efficiency and the minimum of difficulty.
Show you how to use FrontPage 2002's management features to configure and maintain your Web sites so that that they will be always up-to-date and always fully accessible to your Web visitors.
Demonstrate precisely how FrontPage 2002 works in conjunction with the applications in Microsoft Office XP, of which FrontPage 2002 is a part.
Help you understand the technicalities of the World Wide Web and the Internet, as well as how you can best design your site to take advantage of the technology as it is now and as it will become.
Given this, what's the best way for you to approach the book?
You may already be fairly knowledgeable about what's involved in putting up a web site. If so, you may want to skim the first chapters and concentrate on the sections that deal with FrontPage's Page view (to which Part II, "Designing Web Pages," is devoted), since that's the tool you'll likely spend most of your time using. Later, when you're using FrontPage in earnest, you'll find that the other views (covered in detail in Part III, "Web Creation and Management") have many features that will make your life as a Webmaster a great deal easier. If you're new to site setup but know a lot about HTML, reverse the preceding process and work on site creation and management issues first. Knowing how FrontPage 2002 handles web creation and management will help you when you turn to creating pages with the Page view.
If you're an experienced Webmaster, browse Parts I, II, and III to learn how to use FrontPage 2002 and how it can make your job easier. Use the Table of Contents to identify areas of immediate interest to you. Be sure to check out FrontPage 2002's advanced features and the integration with other Office XP applications. Also go through the ways in which FrontPage 2002 works with the most popular web server software.
Special Edition Using Microsoft FrontPage 2002 covers all the features and functions of this integrated Web design environment. It has eight major parts, each of which is summarized briefly here.
First we introduce you to the FrontPage 2002 package as a whole (Part I), then immediately dive headlong into the powerful WYSIWYG authoring environment known as Page view (Part II). Here you'll discover the vast majority of FrontPage's design tools and special design features, including time-saving features as web components and page templates.
With the majority of the authoring issues taken care of, the book then shifts to web site creation, management, and publishing (Part III). Included here are chapters on the powerful wizards and templates included in FrontPage 2002, and chapters on configuring and managing your sites. We end this section with the most important issue surrounding all Web sites: publishing them for public use.
The fourth major section of the book returns to page design issues, this time focusing on dynamic content and scripting, including FrontPage's features for including Dynamic HTML components. Chapters on JavaScript, Java applets, and other advanced features help round out Part IV.
After that, it's time to look at two increasingly important issues surrounding FrontPage: collaborative authoring environments (Part V), and integration with the entire Office XP suite (Part VI). These issues are linked in many ways, but separate enough to warrant distinct coverage and significant enough to demand more and more coverage with each new version of FrontPage. FrontPage is no longer primarily a standalone product (although it still works perfectly well that way); it is an integral part of the much larger Web design environment that Microsoft Office has become.
The book concludes with a section covering FrontPage 2002 in the context of the most popular web servers (Part VII), and with a detailed discussion of the creation and deployment of graphics for the Web (Part VIII). In addition, on this book's web site (go to http://www.quepublishing.com), you can find a further section dealing with database creation and management with FrontPage 2002.

Central to our teaching ministry are Sunday School and the Adult Bible Class held each Sunday during the school year from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. In addition to our regular classes, St. Paul's holds Intergenerational Programs and Seasonal Celebrations on selected Sundays throughout the year.
St. Paul's also offers learning opportunities through Confirmation programs for youth and adults, our Preschool, Bible classes during the week, sermons on Sunday and midweek services during Advent and Lent.
St. Paul's celebrates the faith of our children at different stages of their lives through Faith Stepping Stones. At each stage, the church presents the children with a special gift and blessing. The following are the six stepping stones:
- Baptism (whenever a child is ready; gift of a children's Bible)
- Three years old (ready for Sunday School; gift of a book bag)
- Third grade (gift of a youth Bible)
- Beginning of Confirmation (7th grade or whenever a student is ready; gift of a Catechism)
- End of Confirmation (after completing the two-year program; gift of a special book)
- High school graduation (gift of a Lutheran Prayer Book)
In addition, Rally Day is annual celebration in September that marks the beginning of the Sunday School year.
For more information learning opportunities, see the subtopics under the Learn menu.

Earth Hour – Our Lights Were Out
OK Mini Golf Enthusiasts? Are you also green?
Mini Golf Fairbanks took an officially green stance (despite the white and sparkling appearance of the greens this time of year) during Earth Hour this year. From 8:30-9:30pm on Saturday, March 28, 2009 we joined almost a billion earthlings and left our lights off.
"People were inspired across the country and around the globe as monuments such as the CN Tower, the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Acropolis and the Empire State Building went dark. This year we welcomed new participation from people in countries such as India and China, and welcomed back the countries that celebrated Earth Hour in 2008. " The rest of the story is at http://wwf.ca/earthhour/
The truth is, dear golfers, that our lights have been off all winter and we are raring to get back on the course for a fantastic Mini Golf 2009 Season.
Plan to join us! And book now for opening specials starting May 12.

And just like that the weekend is over.
The 8th Annual Girls Christmas Shopping Weekend has officially come to an end. It seems to have just whipped right by!
Though we were not very successful this year in the finding of Christmas gifts we did not leave the weekend empty handed. We did pick up 3 Christmas trees for our various households, purchased a few stocking stuffers and may have picked up one or two things for ourselves! (I am now the proud owner of a navy blue dress and silver sequin belt which I will be wearing to a winter wonderland themed Quinceanera next weekend.)
Here are a few photos that document the weekend.
Friday night we stuck with tradition and made some grapefruit martinis. Alicia's initiation was squeezing the grapefruits. Lucky for her though Mich had a juicer!
Saturday we did some shopping up at the Shops at Don Mills. We saw a reindeer and Santa.
When we got home it was the lighting of the Christmas Tree at Ashbridges Park in the Beaches and who to our wondering eyes did appear but the big man himself. And boy did he ever arrive in style!
Saturday night we got the tree and then we went out for the best Indian food ever! It was at a Pakistani/East Indian restaurant called Lahore Tikka. It was on Gerrard near Coxwell. This place was so fun. It was like a portable inside with wood paneling, and our meal was eaten off of styrofoam plates but it was sooooo delicious!
We spent the later half of the night drinking Presecco and watching the movie Elf (My christmas favorite!) We were too stuffed full of Indian food to do much else!
We ended the weekend with brunch with my mom and dad and fit in a bit of last minute shopping before having to get Alicia on the plane back to Halifax.
Lex and I decorated our tree on Sunday night. He is so tiny and cute!
And that completed the 8th Annual Girls Shopping Weekend! Can't wait till next year and then NYC watch out! The 10th Annual GCSW is coming to you December 2012!
