UP Asian Center Hosts Two Lectures on May 4
The UP Asian Center will be hosting two public lectures on Thursday, 4 May 2017, one on the South China Sea policy from the Chinese perspective at 10:00 am to 12:00 noon, and another one on ASEAN and Timor-Leste Relations at 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Both sets of lectures will be held at the Seminar Room, UP Asian Center, Quezon City. They are both free and open to the public, but seating is first-come, first-served and participants are encouraged to sign up.
The South China Sea Policy lecture at 10:00 am to 12:00 noon will comprise of two presentations by Professors Zhou Fangyin and Chen Hanxi, "Between Assertiveness and Self-Restraint: Understanding China's South China Sea Policy" and "China's Security Vision for East Asia."
Since 2010, there has been obvious escalation of tensions in the South China Sea, coinciding with China's rise and the United States' 'pivot' to Asia. Has China become more aggressive in its approach to the South China Sea? What strategic goal is China is pursuing in this area? Where does the South China Sea rank in China's overall foreign policy agenda? This article addresses these issues from the Chinese perspective. In the first part, the article discusses China's changing strategy and the leadership's thinking behind the changes. In the second part, it examines in detail several incidents involving China in the South China Sea, including confrontations with the Philippines over Scarborough Shoal and the Second Thomas Shoal and China's more recent land reclamation. The article argues that China's strategic goal in the South China Sea is a relatively modest one. The South China Sea disputes do not rank particularly highly among China's strategic priorities. To a great extent the handling of these issues is also subject to the dynamics of the overall relationship between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
The lecture on ASEAN and Timor-Leste's Relations at 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm will be delivered by His Excellency Juvencio de Jesus Martins, Ambassador of Timor Leste to the Philippines.
H.E. de Jesus Martins will discuss different facets of ASEAN-Timor Leste relations in May 4's lecture. "Although Timor-Leste is not a member of ASEAN," says Mr. Janus Nolasco, Information Officer of the UP Asian Center, "it would be interesting to explore the dynamic between them, especially with Timor Leste's long-standing aspiration to join the current ten-member organization. Timor Leste is the only Southeast Asian country that is not part of ASEAN, and its case offers a unique perspective to understand the dynamics of the regional organization. We look forward to hearing Ambassador's thoughts on this and other issues."

I just had to let you know that my younger sister is visiting me and she said to me over breakfast "you look so young"! I am 59 and she said I look in my 40's! That was so good to hear. I told her about your facial fitness routine and I sent her a link to your website. Thanks for all you do. I would have loved to attend your September workshop, maybe next time. 🙂
All the best,

The Wal-Mart of weed is coming to Sacramento.
At least that's the moniker embraced by weGrow, a cavernous hydroponics store enthusiastically marketing itself as a retail outlet for people cultivating marijuana for personal medicinal use.
The 10,000-square-foot weGrow store, which opens Saturday at 1537 Fulton Ave., is the first national franchise for a company that bills itself as a supply and training destination for legal pot growers.
The enterprise, started in Oakland last year as a warehouse store called iGrow, and doesn't sell any marijuana.
Yet the gardening emporium attracted national attention for its unbridled embrace of the marijuana culture. It featured an on-site doctor offering medical pot recommendations and sales staff eagerly pitching grow lights and nutrients while teaching people how to raise bountiful cannabis buds.
The Oakland location is being reorganized as a non-retail distribution hub for a network of retail hydroponics outlets. The Sacramento store – billed as "the first honest hydro store" – is to be followed by weGrow stores in Arizona, Colorado, New Jersey and Oregon in coming months.

The CCTV footage of two Italian assassins that missed their marks from nearly point-blank range in March 2012 has been released after a lengthy investigation.
Around 9:30 p.m. in Reggio Calabria, 40-year-old Antonino Pricoco and 29-year-old Giole Mangiola, opened fire on their intended victims, Filippo Nocera and Francesco Barreca. Though they were only feet away, the victims managed to escape unharmed, Daily Mail reports. The gunmen approached on a motorcycle, pulling alongside the two businessmen before drawing their pistols and releasing a barrage of gunfire. The incident was over in a matter of seconds, but it took police nearly two years to find the suspects.
"This was a difficult investigation because of the wall of silence that we had from the intended targets and their associates," a police spokesman said. "The arrest were only made after the result of a long and complicated investigation involving telephone intercepts and the motive was finally uncovered, which led us to both men."
The shooting occurred after the victims failed to pay the hitmen a 3,000 Euro outstanding debt for a motorcycle.

Sorry, no etymologies found.
I have no trouble remembering wordless music, up to and including whole symphonies, but the only kind of poetry I can memorize is that with a melody.
Yes, learning and remember is part of grad school, but grad school, or even starting with first-year college, the purpose is to learn, and not learn to memorize, which is, in reality, what a lot of exams do, even if it's an essay-type essay (vs. multiple choice).
Classes that "memorize" trig formulas in November can't remember a thing about them in May.
I have been thinking that some of my colleagues disagree, but this may be only because we've meant different things by the word 'memorize'.
One of us made the important point that the word 'memorize' may mean different things to different people, and different things in different contexts, which slowly got me thinking about how we can be more clear.
Computers and data storage systems 'memorize', manipulate, and index, data that is too mundane and numerous for humans.
Yet of all the kids I've surveyed on this, only 8 percent have parents who take God at his word and memorize Scripture together consistently as a family.
So I had to kind of memorize the clips and the time them based on memory for the most part.

Mass hysteria returns to theaters this October as Sony Pictures announced on Thursday that they are bringing back the original Ghostbusters movie. Get ready to see Ecto-1's triumphant return on Oct. 13, Oct. 20, and Oct 27 for a limited engagement only. Unlike the recently re-released Lion King movie, Ghostbusters won't be in 3D, but that isn't stopping the studio heads from hoping it can take in the same type of $40 million gross Lion King has managed since being reintroduced.
Those who follow Ghostbusters on Facebook and Twitter or visit Ghostbusters.com will be the first to know which of the 500 theaters will feature the ectoplasm excitement. Originally released in 1984, most of the gang is hoping this re-release will get Bill Murray off his ass to make Ghostbusters 3 and pass the proton packs onto a younger generation.
The film was directed and produced by Ivan Reitman, stars Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, and the aforementioned Bill Murray. If you ain't afraid of no ghosts, you can expect to see what goes bump in the night in 2K digital with 5.1 surround sound just in time for the Halloween holiday.

'Wardhini' model of SHG
UMED is successfully implementing
'Wardhini' Model as a homegrown model in three blocks of Wardha
A rich pool of barefoot SHG animators
called 'Sanghatikas' were already trained under the SGSY in 2008.
It was decided to utilize the services of these Sanghatikas in 5-8
blocks of Wardha and the nearby districts. The 72 Sanghatikas have
brought in a significant qualitative improvement in the SHG movement
in Wardha.
'Wardhini' rounds were organized in
'Babhulgain' and 'Ralegaon' blocks of Yavatmal. 'Wardhinis'
stay in the villages for 15 days at a stretch for community
mobilization. As per the plan they will complete 3 such rounds during
April 2014 till June 2014. (one round per month).
9 active women out of 77 Wardhinis were
identified as trainers during the course of training processes. The
task of a Wardhini trainer is to train the newly identified community
resource persons and book keepers from villages of other districts.
The training process also involved village immersion of Wardhinis
where they were attached with SERP-CRPs. This exercise helped
Wardhinis understand the SERP working model and relate it with the
context of Maharashtra State.
Based on their learnings during the
training programs, Wardhinis were able to form 4-5 new SHGs (in every
village that they were assigned for) in the course of 7 days.
Wardhinis also worked on reviving the
old SHGs as well as strengthening the existing groups.
Wardhinis are also putting special
focus to bring the excluded and vulnerable members of the community
within the unmbrella of Umed. They also have formed special SHGs of
widows and PWDs.
They Wardhinis are optimistic about
forming more number of new SHGs, reviving other old ones and
strengthening the existing ones in the villages
Each Wardhini was given a separate 'IEC
kit' it which included reference material, instructions, schedules,
stationeries for their ready reference in the field.
Umed has entered into a partnership
with the Society for the Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP), Andhra
Pradesh since 2012 to lead social mobilization and institution
building processes in 8 blocks of 4 districts in Maharashtra
including Jalna, Nandurbar, Gadhchiroli and Yavatmal. The core
objective of the partnership is to replicate tried and tested
strategies from Andhra Pradesh to mobilize poor rural women in
Maharashtra and organize them into self managed institutions known as
Self Help Groups (SHG). Trained community cadres from SERP have
undertaken intensive field based mobilization rounds over the past 2
years to form new Self Help Groups and revive old or defunct SHGs in
select clusters across 8 blocks. While Project Resource Persons (PRP)
are positioned in clusters, Community Resource Persons (CRP)
undertake periodic mobilization rounds of 45 days each. These
collectives are organized around 5 key tenets known as the
'Panchasutri'. The primary focus of the resource block strategy
is on social mobilization and institution building in a manner that
women are able to build and strengthen their own institutions and
collectively access financial services, rights and entitlements. The
distinctive feature of the SERP resource block strategy is
identification and capacity building of community resource persons as
book keepers and community mobilisers to ensure self reliance of
Currently, CRPs have completed 8 rounds of mobilization. As an
innovative strategy, SERP also facilitated a round of mobilization by
CRPs from the Chenchu tribe of Andhra Pradesh. Very recently,
the Chenchu CRPs have facilitated preparation of Micro Credit
Plans (MCP) in blocks in Nandurbar that capture food security needs
of tribal women in Nandurbar, especially during monsoons. MCPs
have been developed in a participatory manner for few SHGs.
The current focus of the resource block
strategy is on aggregating SHGs into Village Organizations (VO) and
building their capacities. Facilitating MCP preparation and CIF
utilization are other processes being supported under the
Non Intensive and Semi Intensive Strategy
National Rural Livelihoods Mission is being implemented in Maharashtra through 3 strategies-Intensive, Non-intensive and Semi intensive. Non-intensive and semi-intensive strategy has been introduced from 2013-14. Non & semi intensive strategy is being implemented in 315 blocks of 33 districts through district rural development agencies
(DRDAs). These strategies will do the necessary groundwork for phased implementation of intensive
strategy. A separate non-intensive cell has been created in state mission management unit for overall
coordination, supervision and monitoring. Read More

Sonic Youth Art Exhibit Coming to the Whitney?
The band plans to perform at each museum as well.
At designer Marc Jacobs's party last week, Thurston Moore told us that Sonic Youth are preparing to launch an art show, which they hope will travel the world over a number of years, including a stop in New York. "We're putting together this museum show that's utilizing all the artists that we've worked with on different covers and concepts, and that's going to happen for two or three years," said Moore, after the band played "Kool Thing" at Jacobs's request. "It's going to happen in young museums, there's one outside of Paris, there's one in Malmö, Sweden," he added.
The show is expected to kick off in June at LiFE (Lieu international des Formes Emergentes) in Saint-Nazaire, featuring works from artists who have collaborated with Sonic Youth over the course of their 26-year career. "It's going to be a lot of artwork by a lot of artists that we've worked with through the years, people like Chris Wool, Dan Graham, Vito Acconci." Not only will works of art be on display, but the band plans to perform at each location. As the band is starting to write their new album this spring, according to Moore, art fans may even get a sneak preview.
A location for the show in New York has yet to be confirmed, Moore says, but at least one museum is already attracted to the project — or else Moore's trying to attract its attention. "I think the Whitney is somewhat interested," he said, "but it's all about scheduling." —Fiona Byrne

Does your organisation need to find a tool that can help it to steer a smooth course through a changing political landscape?
We are half way through 2017 and it is business as usual. But this year, perhaps more than any other year, ensuring that it is business as usual has meant being agile enough to cope with some fairly fundamental changes. For many, maintaining business as usual is like the image of the swan moving serenely and effortlessly over the surface of the lake, while underneath its legs are frantically moving to propel it forward and steer it around any obstacles.

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
And Indeed He Was
This guy opted for some last minute electioneering in front of the Idaho Statehouse on election day. A facebook capture shows him walking away from Mitt Romney's Idaho co-chairs, Governor Butch Otter and Senator Jim Risch (I can't confirm if that's the angry little gnome but it looks like his bald spot). I chatted with the man as I asked for his picture. He stated he wanted to exercise his civil rights before they disappeared. He was still shaking from a confrontation with the Idaho State Police just twenty minutes before who threatened him with a felony. They strongly encouraged him to leave the area, the most visible and politically, if not socially, appropriate one in the state. I shared with him my concerns regarding the backfiring of his methods of political persuasion but have no doubt that the first amendment protected him where he was. Despite the police confrontation, he laughed getting flipped off by nearly every grey haired white guy who drove by.

Learn about Molekula
Molekula is a leading supplier of fine chemicals and biochemicals and stands at the forefront of this constantly changing industry.
Our Story
Molekula is a leading chemical supplier offering research chemicals and biochemicals sourced from production sites across the globe. Molekula was founded in 1999 operating from a rented facility in Lyon supplying both bulk chemicals and fine chemicals to customers in France.
Operations in the UK were established in 2000, first to serve the British market and then later as Molekula's operating headquarters. During this period Molekula started to hold inventory and package products into smaller units for resale to the Research market. The first catalogue listing of 500 products in research units was distributed in 2001.
To better service the German and Continental European markets, Molekula GmbH was established in 2002 with office and warehousing facilities.
Vigorous sales expansion driven by customer demand has led Molekula to establish partners in many European and Middle East countries, while joint ventures in the Far East are enabling us both to increase our production capacity and further expand our product range.
Sales and Operations expanded in 2012 with the opening of Molekula Shanghai. Our Sourcing, Warehousing and Sales Team are now promoting the brand in the Far Eastern markets.
2013 was the start of our American office based out of Irvine, California, Breaking into the American market sparked huge growth for us, causing us to outgrow our UK headquarters.
In late 2014 we started the expansion of our UK Headquarters, making the move from Dorset to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Our new location provides us 8 times more storage space to stock products.
January 2016 saw the launch of our new website, starting what's predicted to be our most prosperous year ever on a high note. Our new site makes browsing and purchasing our products effortless for new and existing customers alike.
Since 1999 both our business and the industry has changed significantly, with Molekula evolving from a small start-up to an industry leader.

Here you will find essays relating stories about reforming specific aspects of undergraduate biochemistry, "reporting-out" material from PKAL-related activities serving biochemistry (workshops, roundtables, and resources from the PKAL Faculty for the 21st Century community), and other resources to aid faculty, departments and institutions in reforming their biology programs.
These PKAL portfolios are intended as resources for leaders from all disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary fields. They provide examples of how colleagues are exploring ways to strengthen student learning: setting goals for student learning, designing academic programs consonant with those goals, and assessing student progress toward achieving those goals.

** I wrote this back in November. I'm sharing it now because I'm going through old notes, and am finding a lot of poems, writings, pieces, whatever you want to call them.🌸All I want to add is that a whole lot can change in just one year.🎬**
It's been next to five months and I can still feel his lips on mine.
I can feel his arms wrapped around my waist as he pulls me in for a hug. I always loved those.
I can sense his eyes as my own follow a page of a book.
I can hear his heart as it asks to be mine, but I refuse to take it.
And now I understand why he ran when I finally came to the decision to express that I loved him.
He couldn't handle me.
Back and forth I went, in fact I made a bet with myself on when he would get sick of me. Purely because, I wanted him too.
I forced my way out of his heart in order to protect my own.
But what I would come to find is that when I felt the time was right, he would vanish because something pretty and new had walked by.
And it was no surprise to me that I couldn't keep his eye.
But what would provoke me to believe I was at a loss when he had given up something he couldn't see, something he defied in every sense of beauty, someone who claimed she was the queen.
Oh dear heart, if only you knew.
It was his choice, not yours, to let go of you.

When the two of us decided to partner up on a project that would later become PrairieSeen, we didn't really know what we were doing. We knew we wanted to create something that would keep us connected to the visual arts community after graduating from the U of A (we both have degrees in the History of Art, Design and Visual Culture), but weren't quite sure how to go about it. After a healthy amount of brainstorming, ranting and novel-length instant messages, we realized that we still had a lot to say and learn about visual art in Edmonton. Our initial blurry vision of PrairieSeen would finally settle into a community visual arts blog, consisting of a collection of musings, resources and updates on the visual art in our home city.
A little over a year after our initial launch, PrairieSeen has grown into more than just a collection of rants from the two of us. A number of talented guest writers (also Faculty of Arts alumni) and our monthly featured artist contribute to the blog's content, which is delivered in a written or video interview format. Additionally, we blog about visual arts-relevant news, event features and job postings, which helps keep both our readers and ourselves informed on happenings within the city. However, by no means do we position ourselves as a "one-stop shop" for the visual arts in Edmonton — Art Rubicon and Akimbo (for example) are great existing resources for artists in the province; we try to only focus on events and news happening specifically in Edmonton, as well as the smaller events and exhibitions that don't necessarily get the same coverage.
Some of the most exciting outcomes of PrairieSeen have come from outside of the blog, when we get the chance to collaborate with other Edmonton bloggers, artists and designers to host events like roundtable discussions, lectures, art appreciation events and even our first-anniversary exhibition, Inventory (September 2013 at The Drawing Room). We've tried to come up with events that we would want to be a part of anyways (but didn't always see happening), and in doing so, we hope to engage more people and start conversations about the visual arts in Edmonton.
Graduating from a program like Art History meant that we're trained to write about art, not necessarily make it. In today's written world, it made sense to create an online space that would become a repository for comments on the visual arts in Edmonton, as "seen" through the lens of two Art History graduates. We feel that the blog is a reflection of the post-graduate condition that so many of us on the other side of University are familiar with — a simultaneous feeling of unbridled ambition and freedom, coupled with the identity crisis of separating yourself from the student mindset (it's all very dramatic). Most of the featured artists and guest writers on the site are also drawn from our peer group, making it feel like we're all figuring this out together.
About PrairieSeen:
PrairieSeen is a duo of Edmonton-based art advocates who recognize and respond to the value of local art and what it has to say (and what we have to say about it!). Coming from an art-historical background, PrairieSeen seeks to provide a unique perspective to start conversations about Edmonton arts.
July 2014 update: In September 2014, PrairieSeen will be launching an online magazine called PrairieSeen Notes, the only magazine dedicated solely to the visual arts in Edmonton. A registered not-for-profit organization, PrairieSeen is raising funds to support the launch of its first issue. Click here to donate or to help spread the word about the campaign!

Famous African-Americans in History
This matching quiz will enable your child to demonstrate his knowledge of important facts about some iconic Africa- Americans. Some figures are historical and some are living today, and all of them have helped define the industries in which they made their achievements. Your child will hone his research and reading comprehension skills while learning a little cultural history.
What You Need:
- Online resources about African-Americans
- Pencil
- Printed copy of this quiz and the answer key (download here)
What You Do:
- Encourage your child to peruse some online resources about African-American history.
- Challenge him to find the correct answer to each matching quiz and write the corresponding letter in the blank next to each sentence. He should do this without peeking at the answer key and see how many he gets right.
- If at any time your child isn't sure of the correct answer, the easiest thing for him to do is use the computer to either conduct a query on a search engine or to refer to a book source.
- Once he's done, let your child correct his work and see how well he did. Keep in mind that it's more important for your child to go through the learning process of answering these questions and researching information independently than to obtain a perfect score on the quiz.
- Just for fun, ask your child who, out of all the individuals spotlighted in this quiz, is his favorite. By whom is he most fascinated? To whom can he relate the most? Encourage him to find additional online resources so that he can learn a little bit more about the person who's piqued his interest.
Create your own matching quiz tailored to suit your child's learning needs or appeal to his interests. For example, if your child is a sports fanatic, create a quiz that's focused on famous African-American athletes. Or, if your child is studying the Civil Rights Movement and could use a little extra practice at home, then fashion your quiz accordingly.

NEWARK— The NJIT Board of Trustees approved a 4.5 percent tuition and fee increase for in-state undergraduate students for the 2011-2012 academic year.
Full-time, in-state, undergraduate tuition and fees will total $6,987 per semester beginning in fall 2011. Tuition and fees for out-of-state, full-time undergraduate students will be $12,667. In-state, full-time graduate student tuition and fees will total $9,074 per semester, and out-of-state, full-time graduate student tuition and fees will be $12,430.
Revenues generated from tuition and fees along with level state funding from 2010-11 will support enhancement efforts including faculty recruitment, facility upgrades, information technology and laboratory upgrades, and upgrades in the university's performing arts theatre.
NJIT, the state's science and technology university, was named this year by Bloomberg Businessweek as the best public college in New Jersey for return on investment. The survey examined graduation rates, total cost to graduation, and ROI as a measure of earnings of graduates against the cost of a degree.
"NJIT is clearly providing an extraordinarily rigorous education at an affordable cost for the scientific and technological professions," said NJIT President Robert A. Altenkirch, PhD. "We have a strong commitment to providing generous undergraduate financial aid packages that we will continue to sustain. More than 81 percent of incoming students who have need receive aid. In that group, we meet 80 percent of those students' needs. The average undergraduate aid package exceeds $18,000."
Founded in 1881 as Newark Technical School and renamed NJIT in 1975, NJIT is New Jersey's public, technological research university. The 45-acre campus with 26 buildings is located in Newark. The university offers 46 bachelor's degree programs, 58 master's degree programs and 19 doctoral programs.

Unfortunately, there is no way to use PayPal directly on Amazon. There are, however, a couple of workarounds:
1. Get a PayPal debit card. All you have to do is link your bank account and another credit or debit card to your Pay Pal account. Once you have done that, you can then apply for a PayPal Debit Mastercard. This card can be used just like any other debit card to make purchases at stores or to withdraw money from an ATM. You can use it when you go through the Amazon checkout just like you would any other debit card. The only difference is that the funds will be taken out of your PayPal account. You can apply for a debit card for your PayPal account here:
2. Buy a gift card. There are countless online stores that sell Amazon gift cards. Many of these stores accept PayPal as a payment option. You could use your PayPal account to buy yourself an Amazon gift card, and then spend the gift card on Amazon purchases. [1] Although it is a two-step process, it is one way to use PayPal to buy items on Amazon.
Here's a video that shows you how to go about adding your PayPal Debit Mastercard to your Amazon account so that you can use it as a payment method during checkout:
Hopefully these ideas help!

About Bryan Lee
Like so many other musicians in New Orleans, guitarist, singer and songwriter Bryan Lee came to the Crescent City from somewhere else. But he's been carefully honing and refining his craft in Crescent City bars for so many years now, he's considered a New Orleans institution. He's played at 25 of the prestigious New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festivals, and marked his 25th year at the spring time festival in 2009. Blind since the age of eight, like many blind people, Lee has a heightened sense of hearing. He's a master at ensemble playing and knows how to read an audience.
Lee was born Bryan Lee Kumbalek in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. In his youth, he listened to WLAC in Nashville, and had an experience similar to that of Angela Strehli, who was growing up roughly the same time, but in Lubbock, in west Texas. He listened each evening and became enamored with the sounds of Muddy Waters, Elmore James, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf and others. Like Strehli, Jimmie Vaughan, Doyle Bramhall Sr. and so many other "white kids from the suburbs," Lee didn't see any color, he just loved the music, the poetry of the lyrics and the art form.
By the time he was 15, he was playing guitar in a variety of rock and blues-rock bands and in his late teens he befriended guitar slinger Luther Allison, who played many of the same Wisconsin clubs Lee was playing in. By 1981, Lee and his band had the chance to open for Muddy Waters at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Lee and Waters talked in the dressing room, and Lee told Waters how honored he was to be opening for a legend like Waters. Waters gave Lee some inspiration: "Bryan, my friend, don't stop what you're doing, because one day you're going to be a living legend."
Lee moved to New Orleans in 1982 and began a long residency at the Old Absinthe House in the French Quarter. A 13-year-old Kenny Wayne Shepherd asked to sit in one night and the experience proved to be a revelatory one for Shepherd, later one of the bright stars of the blues-rock scene. Shepherd said he knew right then and there, that playing guitar and playing blues and blues-rock was what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. Appropriately, Shepherd included Lee in his documentary, 10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads.
Although some health problems have curtailed his national and international touring during the 2000s and his music studio in New Orleans was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina floodwaters in 2005, Lee pressed on. (He later restricted his time on the road to three week tours.) Lee's discography is extensive and his original songs sparkle with authenticity. His albums include The Blues Is… in 1991 for Canada-based Justin Time Records; Braille Blues Daddy in 1995; Live at the Old Absinthe House Bar in 1997; Crawfish Lady in 2000; Katrina Was Her Name in 2007, and My Lady Don't Love My Lady in 2009, all for Justin Time Records. Play One for Me was released in 2014. ~ Richard Skelly

Get your custom essays and assignments written by professionals!
You start each academic year with commitment to study more and devote yourself entirely to your educational and career goals. Unfortunately, the overwhelming challenges can easily disappoint you. Many people give up on their dreams to get a degree simply because they cannot meet all expectations and deadlines. Their professors assign more essays than they could ever write, and expect them to do their best on all exams. Unfortunately, that is not always possible.
Most students are not in a position to write all academic papers because of many reasons:
● The curriculums haven't been created in accordance with the students' capabilities. There is simply no time to write all research papers, book reviews, history papers, lab reports, term papers, and other types of content by the deadlines.
● Some students don't have talent and interest in essay writing. The truth is, you often get uninspiring topics that don't motivate you to write something interesting.
● No matter how hard they try, students cannot meet all expectations of their professors. Some teachers expect you to read their minds and are never satisfied no matter how hard you try to write exceptional papers.
● Sometimes you don't have access to the right resources. You are expected to base your papers not only on online sources, but on library research as well. When you have to complete a rush essay with a short deadline, spending entire days in the library is out of the question.

Who said general stores were archaic institutions, bound for extinction? Because the new Clic General Store, an extension of Clic's destination bookshop, clearly isn't losing out to evolution what with its updated ethos of the traditional Mom and Pop shop. Filled with a curated collection of unique goods (think: fanciful dreamcatchers and quaint leather accessories), this eclectic browsing mecca — both at Clic's East Hampton and Nolita locations — is generally a dream. Calypso founder Christiane Celle curates every item for sale (clothing, home goods, and adornments), which are all handmade and sourced from independent artisans from around the globe, and the merchandise is meant to complement the bookstore-cum-everything-store inventory.

"We're able to offer our clientele one-of-a-kind pieces made with love," says Celle. Obviously, we love them, too.

About Us
Our Mission
To facilitate the transformation of people with life-controlling problems; impacting families and communities through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
If you or your loved one need help, we are here to tell you there is hope!
Our History
Teen Challenge started in Brooklyn New York in 1958 by Rev. David Wilkerson. Wilkerson was a young country preacher pastoring a church in Eastern Pennsylvania.
One February afternoon Wilkerson read an article in Life magazine about seven teenagers on trial for murder. During a gang fight in Manhattan these teens beat a young man to death. Troubled by what he read in the article and sensing God wanted him to do something for the teens Wilkerson made a trip to the urban area of New York City. Sometime after this Wilkerson resigned his church to move to the New York City area to work full time with teenage gang members. This new work was eventually called Teen Challenge. Soon Teen Challenge also began to offer help to those addicted to drugs and alcohol.
During these early years a large home was obtained in Brooklyn, New York and a yearlong residential discipleship program was started. Due to its success Teen Challenge centers began cropping up in cities all across America. Today there are over 200 Teen Challenge residential centers in the U.S. and 1,000 around the world.
Teen Challenge began in the Sacramento Valley area in 1974. The ministry now consists of five discipleship centers and oversees a variety of community outreaches as well as a number of contact offices including one in Chico, Grass Valley, Oroville, Red Bluff and Susanville. These contact offices conduct outreaches and facilitate helping those who need a residential program get into one of our five discipleship centers.
Our Residential Discipleship Centers
Our five residential Christian discipleship centers are here to serve adults, 18 years of age and older with any life-controlling problem. If you are a minor we can refer you to another Teen Challenge program that helps minors. At any one time we can help over 150 men, women, and women with children regardless of their past history and backgrounds get the help they want. The full length of the residential program is 13 to 16 months.

From The Onion...
New Breeding Program Aimed At Keeping Moderate Republicans From Going ExtinctA snippet:
According to members of the Initiative to Protect the Political Middle (IPPM), centrist Republicans, who once freely roamed the nation calling for both economic deregulation and a return to Reagan-era tax rates on the wealthy, are in dire need of protection, having lost large portions of their natural terrain to the highly territorial Evangelical and Tea Party breeds.
"Our new program is designed to isolate the few remaining specimens of moderate Republicans, mate them in captivity, and then safely release these rare and precious creatures back into the electorate," said IPPM's Cynthia Rollins, who traces the decline of the species to changes in the political climate and rampant, predatory fanaticism. "Within our safe, enclosed habitats, these middle-of-the-road Republican Party members can freely support increased funding for public education and even gay rights without being threatened by the far-right subgenus."
Working within a narrow three-election-cycle window to reverse the decline before extinction becomes imminent, political conservationists told reporters they have already begun the arduous process of tracking down members of the elusive breed of sensible, non-reactionary public officeholders, which a generation ago was one of the most plentiful GOP species in existence.Much more here.

Thanks Mark, that certainly clarifies the situation ! I am totally green on this topic, I've never had any involvement with any copro's or the tube so this is a massive learning curve for me but at least I have some knowledgeable people around me now that have offered me sound advice. Thank you Mark and thank you everyone else that has commented in this thread.
I'm mulling over the various alternatives and I think first I will go with the Raspberry Pi solution as it's so cheap if things don't work out it's only a fiver for the board and whatever it costs for the level shifter, a few quid I think.

Chairman Robert Kennedy offered assurances over Brumbies' short-term future following Michael Jones' exit.
Brumbies chief executive Michael Jones has been stood down by the Super Rugby club just two days after he stated "I'm not going anywhere."
Jones on Saturday reacted to speculation over his future by declaring that he had no intention of leaving his role with the Canberra-based club.
But??Brumbies released a statement on Monday confirming Jones' departure and chairman Robert??Kennedy also offered assurances over the financial situation at the club.
"It was with great regret that I informed Michael of the board's decision. However, I believe this decision is in the best long term interests of the Brumbies," Kennedy said in a statement.
"I also want to reassure our business partners, stakeholders, players, staff and members that the board has full confidence in the remaining executive management team within the Brumbies and our current financial position to continue operations throughout the 2016 season.
"We are immensely proud of our Rugby program at the Brumbies and once again we've had a positive start to the season both in terms of on-field results and crowd support. I would ask all Brumbies fans to rally behind the team and continue to show their support in what we hope will be another successful year."
Craig Leseberg will stand in as chief executive following Jones' exit.

Academic SuccessThe Eden Prairie School District is committed to the academic success of all students. We know you have entrusted your student's education to us, and we promise to work as hard as possible to educate each child in a caring, safe environment.
Homework/Study TimeHomework/study time policies vary from grade to grade, among the teachers, and from subject to subject. Literacy is the foundation of all student achievement; it is our expectation that all students spend at least 15 minutes each day reading. Occasionally, parents misunderstand the difference between homework and "unfinished work" or "make-up work". Unfinished work and make-up work are not considered to be homework/study time by the school. Rather they are an individual responsibility that the student is expected to complete on his/her own time.
Family InvolvementLearning at Home: Research supports that families are the earliest and the most significant teachers in a child's life. A child's value of education and lifelong learning is also impacted by teachers, caregivers, and outside influences. Families know their child best, and can help foster learning by linking current and past experiences, by asking questions that help the child reflect, and by supporting the child's growing knowledge of self and what works best for him or her. More information about how families can take an active role in their students' education can be found at www.edenpr.org.
Student Support Services
- English Language Services: Specialized English language instruction and support is available at each school for English Learners. Instruction is directed at acquiring both social and academic language. In addition to specialized services, enrichment occurs within the classroom through teacher differentiation of curriculum and instruction for our multi-language learners.
- Extended Day Math and Reading Program (Targeted Services): Before- or after-school math and reading programs are offered at each elementary school. Teachers work with students who are not yet proficient in reading and mathematics.
- Psychologist: Each elementary school has available the services of a school psychologist. This individual is involved with children, families, and school teams to support students and their educational programming needs.
- Instructional Specialists: These content specialists support students and staff to ensure high-quality instruction and student achievement in the areas of reading and/or math.
- Social Worker: Each elementary school has available the services of a school social worker whose role is to support the emotional/social growth of children. The school social worker works with families, teachers, and other staff to address concerns about student achievement, behavior,etc., and facilitates connections to needed social and mental health services.
- Special Education: Special Education services are available to any student eligible for specific disability services as defined by state and federal law. Disability areas include speech/language, emotional behavioral disorders, other health disabilities, physically impaired, traumatic brain injury, visually impaired, deaf/hard of hearing, specific learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, visually impaired, cognitive disabilities, and severely multiply impaired. A student may also be eligible for services because of a specific developmental delay through age seven. Students may be referred for a Special Education assessment by parents or teachers. Parents will be involved in a review of the evaluation and the decisions regarding eligibility and services. Services are described through the development of an Individual Education Plan (IEP). Students are served in accordance with district, state, and federal guidelines.
- Assessments: During all testing, please ensure that your child gets plenty of rest and a nourishing breakfast. District-wide, these assessments are used to evaluate curriculum and instructional effectiveness. Individually, the tests are used to evaluate each student's progress. Test results are shared with parents after each testing period.
- Fast (FastBridge Learning) assessments are administered to K-6th grade student in the fall, winter and spring.
- F&P (Fountas & Pinnell) are administered to K-6th grade students in fall, winter and spring.

- Fast and F&P as well as other assessments may be administered to some students at other times of the year in order to monitor progress.
Personalized LearningGifted and Talented ServicesLevel Three:KEY is a program for gifted and talented students in second through sixth grade. KEY students engage in activities utilizing problem solving, higher level thinking skills and advanced topics. Parents or teachers may recommend a child for these KEY services. When this occurs, students are assessed using multiple criteria. A district team then reviews and evaluates the data to determine whether this child will benefit from inclusion in the program. In addition to specialized services, enrichment occurs within the classroom through teacher differentiation of curriculum and instruction. The KEY program is separate from the Mosaic program. The district also has an acceleration policy for core subjects in those rare instances where subject or grade acceleration best meets the student's educational needs.
Level Four: MOSAIC - Full Day Program for Highly Gifted Learners
Elementary Eden Prairie Schools has implemented MOSAIC, a full-day classroom program for highly gifted students, with 4 classrooms at Eden Lake Elementary and 4 classrooms at Prairie View Elementary. This program will provide challenging curriculum at an accelerated pace while meeting the unique academic and social/emotional needs of highly gifted learners in a supportive educational environment. Currently these classrooms are serving qualifying students in grades 3 through 6 from across the district. There is an application process and criteria for entrance to the Mosaic program.

FIRE.org | Dec. 6, 2007
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) released its 2007 report on campus speech codes, revealing that American colleges and universities are teeming with restrictions on students' freedom of expression.
For the report, Spotlight on Speech Codes 2007: The State of Free Speech on Our Nation's Campuses, FIRE reviewed policies at 346 American colleges and universities and found that 75 percent of schools surveyed maintain policies that clearly restrict speech that—outside the borders of campus—is protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
"With increased resources and enhanced research techniques, FIRE was able to unearth even more of these unlawful and pervasive policies than those included in last year's report," FIRE President Greg Lukianoff said. "The 2007 report confirms that speech codes are still infecting college campuses, and the public needs to be aware of these dangerous violations of students' right to engage in free and open expression."
FIRE's report is the most comprehensive effort to date to both quantify the number of colleges and universities that restrict free speech and assess the severity of those restrictions. The report surveyed publicly available policies at the 100 "Best National Universities" and at the 50 "Best Liberal Arts Colleges," as rated in the August 28, 2006, "America's Best Colleges" issue of U.S. News & World Report, as well as at an additional 196 major public universities. The research was conducted between September 2006 and September 2007.
The report's findings include:
– Public colleges and universities are disregarding their constitutional obligations. A staggering 79 percent of public universities surveyed maintain unconstitutional speech codes, despite decades of federal court decisions striking down similar or identical policies.
– Most private colleges and universities promise free speech, but they usually do not deliver. Unlike public universities, private universities are not legally bound by the First Amendment. However, most of them explicitly promise free speech rights to their students and faculty. For example, Tufts University promises it is "an open campus committed to the free exchange of ideas," but it found student journalists guilty of harassment simply for publishing a satirical Christmas carol and a factually verifiable criticism of radical Islam that some members of the campus community found offensive.
Highlights of FIRE's research from the 2006-2007 academic year include:
– Northeastern University in Boston prohibits students from using the university's network to "[t]ransmit or make accessible material, which in the sole judgment of the University is offensive…."
– Florida Gulf Coast University prohibits "expressions deemed inappropriate."
– At The Ohio State University, students in the residence halls are instructed: "Do not joke about differences related to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, ability, socioeconomic background, etc."

Games of the XXXIII Olympiad
Joint Communication by Rome State Universities
In light of the start of selection procedures for the city hosting the Games of the XXIII Olympiad, the Rectors of Rome State Universities unanimously expressed their willingness to support the candidature of Italy's Capital City. They stated their full readiness to support the action taken to this end by the 2024 Olympic Committee, chaired by Lawyer Luca Cordero di Montezemolo.
In the words of the four Magnifici Rectors, the Universities of Rome La Sapienza, Tor Vergata, Roma Tre and Foro Italico agreed on the fact that choosing Rome as a venue for such an important event would allow the crucial combination of culture and sports to be fully represented to the eyes of the world in an original way - all of which would make the Italian proposal unique.
More than a century after de Coubertin launched the first Olympic Games of modern times, the arts, history and tradition represented by the 'Eternal City' would harmoniously combine with all energies and initiatives linked to the Olympics.
The Rectors believe that being so rich in historical and architectural heritage - a heritage belonging to the whole world - and being a tourist destination of international appeal as well as an attraction pole for science and businesses, Rome is the ideal setting to communicate the ethical values of sports. Moreover, it can promote physical culture as a fundamental element for a harmonious development of individuals and convey the importance of education for young people from an intellectual and physical point of view. Hence, the timeless message of the Olympic Games in ancient Greece is renewed once again in the digital era.
In faith,
Professor Eugenio Gaudio, Rector of the University of Rome La Sapienza
Professor Giuseppe Novelli, Rector of the University of Rome Tor Vergata
Professor Mario Panizza, Rector of Roma Tre University
Professor Fabio Pigozzi, Rector of the University of Rome Foro Italico

This is a very important question we can ask ourselves time and time. Why this is important?
Because life is a dynamic process and its the purpose of our life that we evolve in every moment and move towards perfection. And we can only attain evolution when we go through positive changes. Positive changes follow positive actions.
End of the day, when we come to the end of this life, we may ask: did we live fully?
And to answer that before we reach our end we must ask this very question whenever we find opportunity, "WHAT did I DO last time for the FIRST time?"
By engaging into new adventure, by venturing into new things we enrich our lives. Thats why pls do ask yourself what did you do last time for the first time. If you can't find any, do consider something new. Something your soul wants but you are afraid to do. It could be very trivial like walking on your city on foot all night, it could be seeing the sunrise sitting on a mountain top or visiting a place of worship of an unknown religion or just to be alone the whole day in a solitude place like a park.
By doing something for the first time, you give back life an opportunity to breath freshness. And thus you enrich your soul. God willing, the rewards will surely come and you will see that for yourself.
Discover life, its too precious to let go without tasting it.

"Your time is limited; don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Notes for Tonight's Newsletter:
Crude Oil is range-bound this evening; our plan is to buy the lows and sell the highs and use the '2 try rule' to qualify a successful breakout on Wednesday. We are currently looking for the sellers to fail at the lows so we can buy into their stop-losses on the way back to the highs of the range. If sellers are successful we will use the '2 try rule' to know when this breakout is legit and should be followed lower.
E-mini S&P is range-bound this evening and trading at the lows of the range so we are watching for sellers to fail so we can buy these lows while using the '2 try rule' to qualify this breakout lower. Target above us at the 50% and then back to the range-highs, but if the sellers can keep this price below the lows of the range we are likely to see a run lower to the range-expansions below.
Gold is bullish with a spike & channel this evening which tells us the buyers are strong, and the best opportunity will come after a measured-correction off today's highs so we will be staying patient tomorrow. The spike & channel SCREAMS strength from the buyers, but the reality is that we cannot buy these highs b/c the initiating buyers will need to take profit, and when they do the sellers will attack, and when the correction is completed then we will get the best buying opportunity!
Euro is completely balanced and trading sideways inside a very clear trading-range this evening which means we're looking to buy the lows and sell the highs using failure patterns tomorrow. The volume is a big clue on days like today, which encourages us to 'fade' all breakouts of the highs and lows of the range, and use the '2 try rule' to qualify anything trying to move outside this range.
