|Pinch the dough around the stuffing. (Tess Hartwell/WGBH)
|The finished bun is ready to steam.(Tess Hartwell/WGBH)
WGBH visited Chef Cara Stadler at her restaurant Tao Yuan in Portland, and she demonstrated the art of rolling, stuffing and steaming Chinese buns--a meat-filled treat found at food stands all over Shanghai.
Chef Stadler works with her great grandmother's steamed bun recipe: a simple combination of flour, egg and oil raised with a yeast fueled on a good deal of sugar. "Remember" Chef Stadler says in the video, "this is Chinese Wonder bread."
Try your own favorite bun dough recipe and your favorite kind of filling (Chef uses her 12-hour braised pork) and see if you can follow along with the rolling, stuffing and pinching that Chef shows you in the video below.

Named a Food & Wine 2014 Best New Chef, Cara Stadler is the chef/co-owner of Tao Yuan, a popular Asian fusion restaurant in Brunswick, ME. She is part of the Taste of WGBH Food & Wine Festival 2014 and welcomed us in her kitchen to give us this tip.

Serves 12
Toasted and skinned hazelnuts can be substituted for the almonds. Use good-quality dark chocolate with a cacao percentage between 60 and 65 percent; our favorites are callebaut intense Dark chocolate, L-60–40nV, and Ghirardelli 60% cacao Bittersweet chocolate. Let tart sit at room temperature before glazing in step 6. The finished tart can be garnished with chocolate curls or with a flaky coarse sea salt, such as Maldon. Serve with whipped cream, if you like, and substitute cognac for the vanilla extract.

Don't Spank Me Repeats in Fillies and Mares Feature
Don't Spank Me, driven by Andy Shetler, utilized her customary late charge to prevail in the featured event of the evening, a $22,000 Fillies and Mares Invitational pace, at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Friday, August 22. The 1:51.2 victory was a new lifetime best and the third win at this level in the last four outings for Don't Spank Me.
Leaving from post seven in the talented field of nine, Don't Spank Me was unhurried from the gate and settled along the rail in eighth while a host of others left alertly. Latenite Rendevous and Ross Leonard were the first to get a call through the opening panel in :26.3 while Nutmegs Yankee and Terry Cullipher were well placed in the pocket second.
Peter Wrenn had Miss Millie out and firing early down the backside and the duo found the front through the second panel in :55.2. Miss Millie continued to call the shots around the third station in 1:23.3 but Blissful Romance and Ricky Macomber Jr. were applying pressure to their outside with the rest of the field also closing in.
As the field turned for home, Don't Spank Me was perfectly placed second over and had her sights set on the leader. Just as Miss Millie began to tire on the front, Don't Spank Me found another gear and exploded past her rivals halfway down the stretch.
Using a :27.1 final panel, Don't Spank Me finished four lengths in front of American Girl and Sam Widger who closed gamely to finish second. Latenite Rendezvous also rallied late in the lane to round out the trifecta. As the 8-5 favorite, Don't Spank Me returned $5.20 to her backers at the window.
"She's a fun mare to drive," Shetler noted in the winner's circle. "She's the type of mare that if you put her in position to win, she will do the rest. She raced big again tonight."
Trained, owned and bred by Wayne Carter, Don't Spank Me notched fifth first win of the season from 15 starts. The four-year-old daughter of Capital Request-Catalog has now won 13 of 36 lifetime outings while amassing $170,337.
Live racing at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino will continue on Saturday, August 23 with a daily post time of 5:15 p.m. The 14-race card will be highlighted by the $22,000 Invitational pace. With an extended stakes scheduled offered for the 2014 live racing season, the live racing season will be conducted through November 15, 2014.

UConn sports great Dropo dies at 87
Before there was Ray Allen, before there was Donald Brown and before there was Charles Nagy, there was Walt Dropo.
He was the greatest athlete UConn had ever seen long before any of those men came to Storrs. He still might have been after they left, too.
Walter Dropo, the "Moose from Moosup" who excelled at three sports for the Huskies in the 1940's, died Friday. He was 87.
Dropo played football, basketball and baseball for UConn and was a standout performer in all three, even though his college career was interrupted by three years of military service in Europe during World War II.
Dropo completed his college career in 1946-47 as UConn's all-time leading scorer in basketball, and more than 60 years later still ranks No. 2 at UConn in career scoring average at 20.7 per game.
"Walt Dropo was the forerunner of all the great student-athletes we have had here at UConn," Dee Rowe, UConn's Special Adviser for Athletics, said in a statement released by the school. "Wherever he went, he had UConn on his jersey. People around the country knew of UConn because of Walt Dropo. If Walt was here today, he would be talking about how the football team was going to the Fiesta Bowl, the national rankings of the men's and women's basketball team and going to the NCAA baseball tournament last year.
"He was a giant of a man and very proud of his family and heritage. When he walked into a room, he had this great presence. You knew he was there and he just captured everyone."
Dropo was a first-round draft pick of the Providence Steamrollers (fourth overall pick) in the 1947 pro basketball draft (UConn's first "lottery" pick) and was also drafted as an end in the ninth round of the 1946 NFL draft by the Chicago Bears. Despite those two professional opportunities, Dropo signed a professional baseball amateur free agent contract with the Boston Red Sox in 1947.
In 1950 as a 27-year-old rookie first baseman with the Red Sox, Dropo had one of the best rookie seasons in major league history, leading the American League in RBIs (144) and total bases (326) while batting .322 and hitting 34 home runs. He was second in the AL in homers, slugging (.583) and extra base hits (70).
Dropo became the first Boston Red Sox player ever named Rookie of the Year (topping New York Yankee pitcher Whitey Ford in the rookie voting) and he finished sixth in voting for the AL's Most Valuable Player. He was also named to the American League All-Star squad. A fractured right wrist slowed Dropo's career in 1951 and he never was able to match the remarkable exploits of 1950 during the remainder of his 13-year major league career.
Dropo and his brothers Milton and George all went from Moosup to UConn and became athletic stars. After their graduations, all three were major benefactors to their alma mater. They helped establish the first fully endowed athletic scholarship at UConn.
"There is not a baseball player on the UConn team that doesn't learn about the Dropo family's contribution to our program and our university," current Husky baseball coach Jim Penders said in a statement. "I am glad I had the pleasure to know Walt and will never forget the first time I shook hands with him when I was a UConn freshman. He said, `Ted always told me to meet the ball, just meet the ball,' and he was referring to his teammate Ted Williams. We were in
"Our condolences go out to the Dropo family and I bet there are three brothers having a heck of a game of pepper today."
Dropo has repeatedly been honored by his college alma mater. He was named to UConn's 100th anniversary football team in 1998, and was a member of the school's all-century basketball team in 2001. In 2006, he was part of the inaugural class of inductees to UConn's Huskies of Honor program.
Dropo is survived by his daughters Carla and Tina. His son Jeff predeceased him in 2008. Carla is a 1980 graduate of UConn and was a member of the women's swimming team, serving as captain her senior year.
Funeral arrangements are pending.


text: So, I've been having this problem with my Slot-2 M3 Perfect. Basically, it runs NDS games just fine, but after I reset the DS (soft reset or by flicking the power on and off), the autosave screen never pops up. I've tried manually saving as well, but it's as if the save information was never in the SRAM. BUT, if I delete a game's .dat file, then it will display the warning message (can't find atuosave backupfile. press a to continue) and I'm able to manually save the file to a .dat file, but the save file is corrupt anyways. Thanks in advance =) Edit: Something I found kind of interesting. Before this started happening, I was in the middle of the 3rd episode of the 3rd Phoenix Wright game: Trials and Tribulations. When I load up this game, my "Load" information is corrupted, but if I select "New Game," I can select episodes 1 to 3. I started an episode and then pressed start to suspend play and save. I then tried to load the game I had just suspended and the game gave me another corrupted data message. Keep in mind that I did not reset or turn off my DS.

|Re: Accumulo Hive Storage Handler
|Sat, 04 May 2013 19:42:22 GMT
Hey Jason, I haven't really stressed the HBase and Accumulo storage handler queries over any respectible scale where the differences would be dramatically pronounced. One advantage the AccumuloStorageHandler has over the HBase handler is the ability to pushdown predicates involving more than just the RowID. A WHERE clause of the form of "rowid > '5555' AND rowid < '7777' AND name = 'brian' " when delegated to the HBase handler would only filter based on the rowID, and ignore the name qualifier restriction. It's not designed to handle predicates involving columns other than the mapped rowID. The AccumuloPredicateHandler goes the extra mile to support qualifiers. Not only are the rowID comparisons built into custom Range restrictions, but an additional filter iterator is added to ignore rows that don't contain a qualifier name exactly equal to 'brian'. The HBase handler is more evolved in many other storage handler components, but with respect to Predicate pushdown optimization, I believe the Accumulo implementation to be a bit stronger. You're right though, I should really back that up with some metrics. On Sat, May 4, 2013 at 12:16 PM, Jason Trost <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > Hey Brian, > > This is pretty cool.

September 24, 2008 | Research by NCAR scientist Mary Hayden underscores the risk of dengue fever and the growing threat of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in the Rio Grande Valley between far south Texas and northeast Mexico. Dengue fever is an acute infection caused by four dengue virus serotypes and transmitted by Aedes species mosquitoes. Any of the four serotypes can cause dengue fever; a person infected with two or more serotypes is at increased risk for the potentially fatal DHF.
Endemic to the tropics, dengue has been moving into the southern United States, perhaps due to climatic as well as human factors. Over the last several years, Mary has led a NOAA-funded study to examine how climate and human variables affect the risk of dengue fever along the U.S.–Mexico border in Arizona. In late 2005, the nation's first-ever outbreak of DHF struck the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Shortly afterward, Mary and her colleagues surveyed households in Brownsville, Texas, and Matamoros, Mexico, and found that nearly 40% of Brownsville residents had been infected with at least one dengue serotype.
The study recommended strengthening dengue surveillance, monitoring virus strains, and providing early warning of outbreaks. It also noted practices that can help avoid mosquito infestations, including the use of repellent and the proper storage or disposal of waste tires and other objects that might capture standing water.
Mary says the next steps for the researchers are further household surveys in the region to better characterize risk by assessing indoor and outdoor mosquito populations. "We also hope to use NCAR's High-Resolution Data Assimilation System to better understand how weather and climate relate to seasonal mosquito abundance," she says.

Dee Caffari was impressive at the Miami Conference last week. Excellent to have non-finance yet globally applicable topic and speaker.
We have asked Sean Conway to speak to a number of different audiences and have found him to be inspirational to a wide range of people – from staff to business owners to entrepreneurs. His attitude is so inspiring and he refuses to let anything get in his way – determined to achieve his goals, despite the many barriers put in his way.
His exploits are amazing and he delivers his stories in a very amusing and natural way – you can't help but like him and be amazed at what he has achieved. And he is very real, open and honest about his adventures and the setbacks along the way. He tailored talks to meet our objectives, seamlessly absorbing our messages into his stories and providing inspiration and motivation to change, to develop and to grow. There was no fuss – he simply told the stories of his adventures in a way that made them accessible and achievable and inspired the audience to focus and deliver. Brilliant!
Please tell Alastair – THANK YOU!
Showing a group of bankers how to really live life. Personally and professionally I think you impacted everyone here – at least opened eyes as to what life has to offer beyond the office. Thank you also for tying in so well to our theme of thoughtful risk taking as well – and for doubling up across the street at the Ritz. We have had several requests for more information and people sad we did not hold you through lunch so they could meet you. Good luck on your next adventure!
A fantastic end to our Annual Conference, Ed Stafford provided a gripping account of his adventures and of the challenges he overcame. Providing insight into overcoming adversity, his speech resonated with the audience and was very well received.
'Neil's talk was exceptionally well tailored to inspire our pupils. Not only did it put into context the skills that we have been focusing on but he was also incredibly inspirational. I wish Neil the best of luck in his next adventures and look forward to welcoming him back to talk about them. Many thanks for your help too.'
Geoff - a huge thank you for your after dinner speech on Friday night. Your speech was perfect, moving, inspirational and humorous - many congratulations.
Please do pass on our enormous thanks to Dee following yesterday's conference. Her presentation was motivational, relevant and spell binding which, along with her natural and comfortable manner, made her a huge success with everyone!
Having quickly looked at the evaluation forms completed yesterday – there are words and phrases like; Wow!, Inspiring, entertaining, advocate for collaboration, highlight of the day, Inspirational and very interesting.
James Brickell gave an exceptional talk at our annual Galapagos Day event at the Royal Geographical Society for our 350 guests. His fascinating stories of the perils of underwater filming and his stunning footage captivated our audience, and many wished he could have spoken for longer - his enthusiasm was infectious! Our attendees rated his talk very highly, with one audience member even commented that James should spend more time in front of the camera! James was an absolute pleasure to work with and we would definitely recommend him as a speaker.
Dee was great and our guests thoroughly enjoyed her motivational speech. Dee was very down to earth - a great speaker!
It was an excellent day and Geoff's presentation was most definitely a highlight. I looked around the room when he was presenting and there wasn't one person who wasn't transfixed and I know from speaking to delegates afterwards that many were not only holding back their emotions but incredibly inspired by his journey in life . It certainly helped us all to put so many things into perspective.
I've seen Geoff present twice now and would never tire of hearing from him. So humble, yet humorous and so ordinary but incredible.
Rachel Smith is a gifted, inspirational speaker who effortlessly captures the interest and full engagement of her audience, irrespective of age. She conveys the awe and wonder of her accomplishments, alongside great determination, resilience and optimism. All of us were moved to tears as she immersed us in her story and we all stepped of the boat with her, as she sailed in to Antigua! Put simply, Rachel captivates and enthuses her audience, filling everyone with the utmost belief that they too have the capacity 'to row their own ocean' and realise their dreams and ambitions in life!
'Alastair spoke to a group of very senior Marketing VPs and CMOs at a Google event. He did a wonderful job of engaging and inspiring the audience with them hanging on his every word. He was equally comfortable presenting to his amazing photographs or handling a range of questions. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for a corporate audience.'
Sean Conway's talk kept the audience enthralled from start to finish. His down to earth manner and can do attitude were truly inspiring and he left many in the audience thinking about how to challenge themselves and achieve something that they didn't think they were capable of.
Andy Pag's after-dinner speech struck the right balance between entertainment and information and it was very well received. He's a very pleasant and very knowledgeable person: we really enjoyed meeting him.
Geoff Holt MBE - 'An incredible presentation at our event. His story is truly inspirational and really caught the imagination of the whole room. His drive, spirit and determination, delivered in a very factual way, had the whole audience mesmerised for the whole session. The talk fitted in very well with the context of the day and please let Geoff know that the feedback was fantastic.'

4th Annual Care to Learn Clever & Clever Youth Football Golf Tournament

4th Annual CTL Golf Tournament Sponsorship Form
In the fall of 2011, several individuals from both the community and school, voiced their concern about the additional needs of students of Clever R-V School District. Although a backpack program was currently in place and meeting the hunger needs of students over the weekend when school lunches weren't provided, there was a still a multitude of issues that needed to be addressed. And so a conversation began. And the Clever chapter of Care to Learn was born.
Since its inception, the Clever CTL chapter has made over 10,000 impressions. An impression is made each time a child's life is impacted by the Care to Learn program. It may be a new pair of shoes, a weekend backpack, a dental exam, a coat, clothing item, eye glasses or medical attention.
Our goal as a Care to Learn chapter is to provide immediate funding to meet emergent health, hunger, and hygiene needs so every child can be successful in school.
Although the Clever chapter of Care to Learn is meeting the needs of Clever students, the conversation about poverty and the effect on a child's school day is an ongoing conversation as faculty and staff try to better identify needs, meet those needs and make sure all the needs are funded. When basic needs go unmet, children cannot focus on the lessons before them. But with the help of Care to Learn we are able to provide for those needs.

The spectre of Arsenal is worrying Juventus, as the transfer market enters it's final fortnight.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is the man haunting Juventus as they attempt to complete their business in the transfer market.
Despite the Frenchman's admission he may not sign anybody for Arsenal if he does not settle on the right player at the right price, the Italian champions are fearful he could scupper their late targets.
Italian website TuttoJuve write, in an article titled 'Wenger the enemy':
"The Arsenal manager is a major obstacle in the negotiations Bianconeri market. The French coach had already won the race to sign Sanchez.
"This is the first move, the second of Wenger is on Manolas, a defender who Juventus like so much. Arsenal aided by the special relationship with Olympiakos have a clear advantage and will probably end up in London.
They go onto add: "The third and final "insult from the enemy Wenger", he covets Rabiot."
While obviously meant a little tongue-in-cheek, there is a real fear among the Juventus support that they will be beaten to both Manolas and Rabiot by the Gunners.
Just like the situation with Alexis Sanchez, Juventus cannot afford to outbid Arsenal. This is why they have been linked with selling Arturo Vidal to Manchester United, to give the club greater power in the market.
With regard to the special relationship with Olympiakos, it is assumed Juventus are referring to the perceived headstart in negotiations Arsenal may have after loaning Joel Campbell to the Greek side last season.
It is not taken as a given that Arsenal will move for Manolas or Rabiot, but knowing the Gunners are interested could frighten Juventus off, or intensify their pursuit to try and get a headstart on the North London side.
Knowing that the Gunners are looking at the same players interesting the Italian champions, has to be a positive side for fans to take, regarding the club's transfer policy.

The Kernow Teaching School Alliance (KTSA) is delivering the Secondary PGCE in partnership with Exeter. We closely adhere to the Exeter entry requirements for their PGCE courses along with the subject specific requirements. The University of Exeter has a general requirement of a degree classification of Upper Second (2:1). A 2:2 is considered in exceptional circumstances. Please find the links below to the information on the Exeter website.
If your degree subject doesn't link closely to your chosen teaching subject, we'd advise you to take a subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) course before starting teacher training. You can only do these in England and in certain subjects. Successful applicants are then invited to interview.
We are looking for individuals who are passionate about teaching young people English in our Secondary Schools. Is this you?
Can you inspire a child to take an amazing journey, open their eyes to new cultures and experiences and delight them with the subtle intricacies of the English language and be back in time for break duty? Our teachers can!
If you have a passion for poetry or love of linguistics and have a good degree in English, as well as the ability to pass this on to students then you too can share this journey. Teach English and you too can give the students in our schools this gift.
You may even give the greatest gift of all. The ability to read.
We are looking for individuals who are passionate about teaching Maths. This is what our mathematicians say about the teaching of their subject, is this subject fo you?
Mathematics is a language used to describe the physical world in numbers. Much like an artist or a poet makes use of words or lines to make sense of their perceptions, so too does the mathematician through numbers. For thousands of years, from Archimedes to Newton, mathematicians have carried humanity upwards and onwards upon the shoulders of Mathematics. Using numbers to exercise that innate human desire; to comprehend and quantify. Mathematicians have journeyed throughout history consolidating rational thought and the quantification of reality within numbers. As a maths teacher you can be proud to feature as a tiny fraction within the sum of humanities explorations into comprehension and self-awareness. You have the opportunity to inspire future generations of thinkers and innovators.
Mathematics Entry requirements
We are looking for individuals who are passionate about teaching their subject specialism. Computer Science has never been more important. This is what our computer science teachers say about their subject:
Computers are changing our world and our workforces. With technology now lying at the heart of our economy, our daily lives and scientific enterprises, the importance of preparing students for our rapidly changing, technological world has never been greater. Computer Science is a stimulating and rewarding subject, which opens student's eyes to the technologically advanced world around them, whilst empowering them with the ability to develop their computational thinking skills and problem solving capabilities. The teaching of Computer Science will prepare students for the jobs of the 21st century and open their imagination to the vast range of technology based career opportunities available to them
History We are looking for passionate historians, read below to see what our History teachers say about their subject.
History is an inclusive subject that engages all. KS3 students learn both British and World History. From 1066, to the Transatlantic Slave Trade and Black Civil Rights, this develops students understanding of race, culture and responsibility. KS4 students deepen their understanding studying topics such as The Cold War and Germany. History gives students the knowledge and confidence to debate World Affairs. If you can re-enact Becket's murder, run a political campaign, debate whether the US were justified in dropping the A Bomb and discuss Vladimir Putin's Foreign Policy in a day. Teach History!
You will be training with teachers who are passionate about their subject, is this you…..
Can you fire the imagination? Can you inspire young people? Can you ignite the spark? Then teaching Geography is for you. Being able to pass on your passion for this diverse subject is great fun, hard work and fulfilling. You would gain experience of teaching topics such as Volcanoes and Earthquakes, World Development, Coasts, Rivers and investigate local Geography through map work and fieldwork. GCSE teaching builds on this but introduces students to World Cities, Economic Growth and Ecosystems such as rainforests, deserts and cold environments. Study trips away from home help to embed learning and are a great way to build relationships. London, the Lake District and Dorset are popular choices. A Level deepens knowledge and this is where the passion may grab you. Population, Globalisation, Development, Rivers and Coasts, Geomorphological Hazards are just some of the subjects taught at this level. Teach Geography, the world is waiting to be discovered!
Chemistry is the study of the science of matter, of how the basic elements of matter combine and interact with one another. Chemistry teachers are in a unique position as they have ready access to practical's and demonstrations which can really bring out the wow factor of studying the sciences. However Chemistry teachers are not only there to provide whizzes and bangs but also to develop critical thinking, analytical skills and, crucially encourage, practical skills which are in short demand and highly sought after by employers. If you want to inspire young people with the intricacies of the atomic world, to develop their practical, analytical, mathematical and problem solving skills whilst providing a crucial link between Physics and Biology, then Chemistry teaching is for you.
Students are surrounded by Physics every day but don't necessarily realise it, from the electromagnetic spectrum being used in mobile phone technology to microwaves cooking your dinner. If you can emphasise the relevance of physics then we can help to produce a new generation of creative minds, with this passion we can help to shape the physicists of tomorrow. If you want to inspire young people with the vast Physics world of sub atomic particle, to the full scale and size of the Universe, alongside developing their practical, analytical, mathematical and problem solving skills teaching at Tretherras is for you. Our healthy uptake of Physics at A-level and our successful results at GCSE will see that you are involved in nurturing the skills of future Physicists.
We are looking for individuals who are passionate about Biology and are excited about passing this knowledge on to the young people in our schools. This is what one of our Biology teacher said about teaching their subject:
I thoroughly enjoy teaching Biology. I love giving the students a new perspective in which they can perceive the world around them, from the smallest of microorganisms they cannot see, to the largest of mammals. Through studying Biology, students understand the purpose of everyday things and it gives the natural world more relevance to them. My most favourite thing to do with students is dissection, hearing squeals of excitement and sometimes disgust is always great fun.
We are looking for individuals who are passionate about enriching student lives through Music or preparing them for a professional career in Music. Below is what our Music teachers say about teaching their subject. Is this for you, if so we would be very interested in hearing from you.
Teaching a creative subject that evokes such a passion in so many is an absolute privilege. Every day, every lesson really is different you will never be bored. Facilitating collaborative work at KS3, inspiring new musicians and nurturing talent is occasionally challenging, but mostly it is an exciting and satisfying role. GCSE music is particularly rewarding as the students choose to study the subject. This common passion for the subject is a great advantage to teacher and student alike. KS5 students are often are those with a real talent and desire to pursue a career in music or further their musical education beyond school. When a student sets off for Music College or begins a career in music there is a fantastic sense of pride and achievement that you, as their teacher, have played a role. The extra-curricular life of a music department is busy but brilliant and you will get out, whatever you put in. One of the highlights of teaching music is actually leading an ensemble in a performance.
'The unexamined life is not worth living.' Socrates The study of Philosophy and Religion is perhaps the most important journey into the history of humanity. Not only is it a study of faith and religious tradition, but it is the exploration of our human interactions and our desire to seek something beyond this life. Religion is a major force in human experience and also laid the foundation for human rights, social justice, and toleration of others. It teaches people skills of empathy, compassion and responsibility. Explore the life of Buddha, discover the 5 pillars of Islam, discuss the origins of the universe and question the theories behind Greek philosophy, as you encourage young people to explore the world and their own lives. If you can motivate people to ask questions and to never take things as they first seem, then Ethics and Philosophy is a subject for you! 'Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever' – Gandhi
Teaching PE is a fun experience, inspiring children to take part in physical activity and learn a variety of skills and gain knowledge that can be taken outside the school environment.
As a PE teacher you take on a number of roles, from motivator, coach, umpire, mentor, and examination teacher, meaning that your job will be give you great variety and challenge everyday.
A PE teacher also has a vital role outside of lessons, contributing to the wider life of a school, giving students the opportunity to compete in and out of school and gain vital life skills along the way.
If you have a passion and belief in developing the physical ability of all students, in a range of skills, regardless of their starting point, then teaching PE is for you.
Drama is about learning through doing and it is this active approach that inspires young minds and makes teaching drama a very unique job. There is a freedom in drama to teach what you think will challenge and engage young people. So in one class you might be on board the Titanic and in the next exploring the most relevant topic on the news. This is a very privileged position to be in.
Drama builds confidence both inside and outside the classroom and through extra-curricular activities. It encourages creativity and collaboration and strives to highlight the importance of understanding what it feels like to be somebody else.
It takes a great deal of energy, patience and sensitivity to draw the best out of each student no matter what their ability. In return it is a highly rewarding subject to teach.
As a Design and Technology teacher you will nurture students' creativity and imagination. You will teach them how to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others' needs, wants and values. DT complements wider learning of a broad range of subjects and draws on disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. You'll encourage pupils to learn how to take risks, become resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, you will help them develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. High-quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation.
SOCIAL SCIENCES (Sociology & Psychology)
Students who study Sociology and Psychology tend to be a lively young people who engage with wider issues in Society. They are often keen to discuss issues and as a teacher of Social Sciences you are in a unique position to expand and challenge their ideas on these fascinating subjects. You will also gain experience teaching Humanities throughout the school. As a teacher of Social Sciences you will explore topics such as Family, Youth, Crime, Education, Inequality and Crime in Sociology and in Psychology students learn about topics such as Eating Behaviour, Social influence, Attachment, and Psychopathology. You will equip students with the research skills they need for understanding the processes happening in the world around them. Students often take the subject to a higher level and it is a privilege to be part of this process as a Social Sciences teacher.

Taking a closer look at Prime Time's first round picks
No. 1 — Jarrod Uthoff
Uthoff is new to the Hawkeye crowd. The 2011 Cedar Rapids Jefferson graduate signed with Wisconsin, but after redshirting for the Badgers in 2012, he announced that he's decided to transfer to Iowa.
The 6-8 forward won't be able to receive a scholarship or see any playing time until the 2013-14 season under NCAA rules, so Prime Time is his only chance to perform in front of Hawkeye fans this year.
Uthoff was a high-school superstar at Jefferson, becoming the state's Mr. Basketball after averaging an state-leading 26.1 points per game.
"He's very versatile, he's a very unselfish passer and has a great feel for the game," said head coach and Prime Time Commissioner Randy Larson, who picked Uthoff. "He's a great 3-point shooter with really good post moves as well, but it was his unselfishness that really stood out to me."
No. 2 — Mike Gesell
The incoming Hawkeye freshman Gesell was a top-100 prospect from South Sioux City, Neb. The point guard averaged 24.8 points, 7.4 assists, and 5 rebounds in his senior year en route to earning his second-straight Gatorade Nebraska Player of the Year honor.
The 6-1 player became the Sioux City area and Nebraska Class A and B all-time leading scorer with 2,112 career points.
Gesell is expected to start at point guard for the Hawkeyes next season, but Prime Time will be his first introduction to the Iowa City crowd.
Scout.com listed Gesell's weaknesses as defense and physical strength but reported that the guard has a strong 3-point shot and natural athletic talent.
No. 3 — Aaron White burst onto the Hawkeye fan radar during his freshman year in 2012, working his way up from sixth man to starting forward. He averaged 11.1 points and a team-leading 5.7 rebounds per game the with Hawkeyes en route to being named ESPN's 15th-best freshman in the NCAA.
The Strongsville, Ohio native improved toward the send of the season when his point average spiked to16.2 per game for the last five games, when he also shot 68 percent (21-of-31).
White's high school numbers match up with the first two draft picks — he averaged a double-double in high school with 23.1 points and 10 rebounds per game.
Unlike Uthoff and Gesell, the forward has a year of Big Ten experience behind him, including upset wins over Purdue and Wisconsin and an appearance in the National Invitation Tournament.
No. 4 — Devyn Marble finished his sophomore year at Iowa averaging 11.2 points per game and leading the Hawkeyes with 53 steals on the season. The guard/forward ranked fourth in the Big Ten in steals after nabbing 1.5 of them per game. Marble has grabbed 4 steals twice in his career, most recently against Illinois in 2012.
Like White, Marble heated up to his full potential at the end the season. Marble scored 31 points — including 7 3-pointers in 8 attempts — and racked up 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the Hawkeyes' final game against Oregon in the second round of the NIT in 2012.
Marble has the most experience out of anyone selected in the first round; his 1,624 career minutes in the game nearly double White's 834. Furthermore, Marble improved tremendously during the 2011 Prime Time season — improving his freshman stats of 5.7 points per game to 11.2 over the year after working hard.

Online to on the Strip — in three years.
That's the route the Vegas Cine Fest film festival has followed on its way to today's debut at the Tropicana.
The festival will present more than 50 features, shorts and documentaries during its three-day run, which includes panel discussions and themed parties at the Tropicana's Nikki Beach club.
Screenings begin at 11 a.m. today and run through Saturday evening, followed by an awards ceremony and post-awards bash.
Red carpet arrivals for tonight's world premiere of the dark comedy "Some Guy Who Kills People" include star Barry Bostwick, director Jack Perez and executive producer John Landis ("National Lampoon's Animal House," "The Blues Brothers").
In addition, Landis directed the festival's closing feature, "Burke and Hare," a comedic look at the infamous 19th-century British grave robbers, featuring Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis.
"Burke and Hare," which is scheduled to open in theaters next month, has been on the festival circuit since it opened last year's New York Film Festival.
"For a filmmaker to even get his film shown is terribly difficult," notes Landis, who's receiving a lifetime achievement award from Vegas Cine Fest. As a result, he adds, film festivals have "evolved into an essential way of establishing and selling movies," for experienced filmmakers and newcomers alike.
Helping emerging filmmakers find a showcase for their work played a major role in creating Vegas Cine Fest , according to festival director Philip Marcus, a Las Vegas-based producer and director.
During an annual trek to France's Cannes film festival with his wife, Maria, they noted how little Cannes offered "in terms of independent or short films," Marcus recalls, especially "for emerging filmmakers."
So they put together an online contest "for emerging screenwriters" in 2008; by last year, it was named "one of the top five emerging film competitions in the U.S.," he notes.
And "that really encouraged us" to transform the online competition into a full-fledged festival, Marcus says, combining screenings with panel discussions and parties.
Saturday morning's panel, for example, features Perez and two other festival filmmakers: Noah Hutton (whose documentary "More to Live For" screens at 7 p.m. Friday) and James Redford, whose short "Quality Time, an award winner in last year's online festival, shows at 11 a.m. Saturday. (Both filmmakers are in the family business; Hutton is the son of actors Timothy Hutton and Debra Winger, and you might also have heard of Redford's actor-director dad, Robert.)
But Hutton won't only be participating in panel discussions and a question-and-answer session following his own screening; he plans to join festival attendees in the audience.
"My favorite part is not being there for my film, but sitting in the theater all day" and watching movies, he says. "Film festivals give you a window into a world of film you just never get at your local multiplex."
Although "people coming from all over the world" will visit Las Vegas for Cine Fest, Marcus notes, "we've made a price point that's extremely affordable — especially for locals."
Individual tickets range from $7.50 (for "Quality Time" and Friday's world premiere of the documentary short "Sometimes When We Touch: The Making of Manny Pacquiao") to $10 for "Somebody Who Kills People."
Panels are $20; festival passes are $20 for a one-day pass, $35 for a two-day pass and $160 for a locals' pass to all screenings, parties and the awards ceremony. (Complete festival schedule and ticket information is available online at www.vegascinefest.com.)
As "Hollywood becomes more and more corporate," Landis says, festivals such as Vegas Cine Fest take on greater importance — for audiences and filmmakers alike.
"It's ironic," Landis says, noting that "as technology makes it simpler to make a film, the business structure of exhibition" makes it "terribly difficult" for "a filmmaker to get his film shown."
Still, Hutton reasons, "the access to technology is one thing, but a good story needs to come into the equation. Good storytelling is as rare as it ever was."

Student profile: Mallory Culbertson
Mallory Culbertson started taking classes at Spokane Community College as part of Running Start and went on to earn her Associate of Arts degree before transferring to UW. She grew up attending Earth Adventure Camp every summer in elementary school and taking camping trips with her family; these early experiences shaped her love for the environment, and ultimately led her to declare Environmental Studies as her major.
Coming from a large family made the costs of college a barrier, and the local community college offered the support Mallory was looking for. Mallory says community college offers good preparation and a valuable transition point between high school and a university experience. She attributes that period in her academic career as the time when she set good habits for completing homework on time and developing a sense of autonomy.
In addition to coming from a merged family of 13 children, Mallory chose to do independent studies for most of high school, so community college was pivotal in learning how the higher education system works. And she's definitely taken advantage of the vast opportunities the UW campus has to offer.
As a 2014 Citizen Science intern for Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST), a recent canvasser for Environment Washington and a chapter chair of the UW chapter of WashPIRG, Mallory has set a high bar for academic success and community involvement.
Mallory recommends that transfer students dive right in when they arrive on the UW campus. She shares that "one of the big, scary things about transferring is feeling you don't know anybody but feeling a little bit older than the other students; freshmen stuff just doesn't feel like where you want to be." For her, it was helpful to go to student events and seize exciting opportunities.
As part of her first Environmental Studies class (ENVIR 100), she started a service-learning project with COASST. She leveraged this class project into an internship after the class ended, earning credit for her internship and tacking on credentials to build that all-important resume. Mallory is also active on social media as an advocate of change for issues she's involved with.
In another class, Attaining a Sustainable Society (ENVIR 439), which reveals integrative approaches to protect the long-term interests of human society, Mallory heard a representative from WashPIRG talk in class; she started helping out as a volunteer for the grassroots organization and progressed to the leadership role she enjoys today as UW Chapter Chair. Mallory's work for WashPIRG involved delivering the student voice to Washington legislators, and just this year she met with staffers at Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell's offices. The legislators whipped the votes in favor of allowing the EPA to move forward and close the loopholes to restore stream and wetland protections under the Clean Water Act in Washington State.
In terms of her aspirations after college, Mallory is interested in building sustainable communities– "I can definitely see my experience with WashPIRG and COASST being really beneficial for a career in sustainability, since it is such a combination of policy and community cooperation."
Her advice to current community college students is to be persistent in getting an appointment with an adviser; they have a lot of helpful information regarding researching universities and determining the best fit for the type of degree a student is pursuing. Don't forget that getting involved on campus doesn't have to wait until joining the university campus.

It was a cold stormy night in 1821 and the Earl was travelling back to his home, alton towers,suddenly a black darkAnd figure appeared in the distance. The Earl demanded why the carrige stopped but the woman rushed towards the man and begged for a coin. The Earl cruely denied her request for a coin and orderd the carriage to keep on going home. The old woman screamed a curse "for every branch of the old oak tree that fell a member of the Earl's family will die!!!!"
The next night a ferocious storm occured and one mighty stroke of lightning hit a single branch of the oak tree and that branch hit the ground with a huge 'THUD'. True to the old womans curse a member of the Earl's family suddenly and mysteriously died!!!!
The Earl orderd each and every servant to chain up the branches of the oak to prevent further misfortune but the story did not end there.... The Earl got so obsessed with the a fallen branch that he dragged it through the wood until he eventually reached an underground tomb. The chaind up the branch there and left......the underground tomb started to move around,the walls twisting until the room was completley upside down!!!!!!
The Earl got ito a HUGE experiment between science and the supernatural.....it is said that Alton Towers is still haunted today and that the full oak tree is hidden somewhere underground. know one has ever found it!!!!

At the Statue of Venus
Closed July 1
Acts of Love
Closed June 24
Long Leaf Opera Summer Festival
Long Leaf Opera's summer festival concluded last Sunday in UNC-Chapel Hill's Memorial Hall with a standing ovation for Elizabeth Grayson's performance in the Southern premiere of At the Statue of Venus. On stage accompanying Grayson was pianist and composer Jake Heggie, who guided the piece from moments of hilarity to profound self-reflection as Grayson's character, Rose, waits for a blind date by the statue of the goddess of love.
Rose's monologue, delivered with clear, vibrant vocals, begins with an amusing lament for her choice in wearing black slacks and a momentary assertion that her friends' choice for her "Mr. Right" will be gay, setting the light-hearted tone that pervades the work. Yet the piece moves fluidly toward an underlying seriousness in stream-of-consciousness fashion as the minutes tick past the determined "5-ish" meeting time, and she begins to reflect on her childhood and speculate about her future. Nonetheless, the work remains hopeful throughout, and Rose's endearing character not only garners laughs but reveals a gentle honesty to which any audience can relate.
The theme of love prevailed the previous weekend as well, with the double-bill performance entitled Acts of Love that included William Walton's The Bear and the world premiere of 23-year-old Zachary Wadsworth's Venus and Adonis. The latter, which featured Andrea Edith Moore and Timothy Sparks in the title roles, was the winner of the Long Leaf Opera One Act Competition and is based on Shakespeare's 1594 lyric poem of the same name. The young composer tended toward the traditional style, including a four-part chorus and two dancers to enliven the stage, which they did quite successfully with passionate and racy choreography.
Following the tragedy of Venus and Adonis, Marcia Ragonetti and Jason Sarten shifted the mood in The Bear, a comedy about a widow who finds unexpected love in her late husband's debt collector. Ragonetti's prissy character paired with Sarten's temperamental one, supplemented by the minor role of the widow's quirky servant, made for a perfectly silly plotline that prompted the audience to go home in high spirits. —Sarah Lupton
A Streetcar Named Desire
Little Green Pig Theatrical Concern
Common Ground Theatre
Through July 7
Which is more absurd, I wonder: Reframing Tennessee Williams' classic as a cross between an inverse Pleasantville and the lurid zombie movie oeuvre (think a little George Romero, a little Wes Craven, with some Ed Wood to season)? Or placing the mottled concoction square in the middle of Little Green Pig's "German Season"?
One thing's for certain: When Blanche DuBois (Nicole Farmer) shows up in a smart pale blue and white number—one Edith Head might have fashioned for Vera Miles in the 1950s—to meet a sister Stella (Gigi DeLizza) dressed in a torn Misfits T-shirt, two-inch black heels, pink fishnets and little else besides, someone's done some serious drugs. Or time travel. Or both.
To be honest, one of the reasons we stay plugged in to such a deliberately schismatic production concept is to see how long director Jay O'Berski can possibly keep the wheels on. So cut to the chase: Purists should pass this by—or preferably take it as a walk on the wild side. It's safe to say we'll never see Tennessee Williams staged quite this way again. Expect full frontal nudity—if that drives you nearer or farther away. And give my due respects, a bottle of Barbancourt rum and a Cohiba Siglo VI to Baron Samedi. We will meet again. —Byron Woods

Essays on Play in Literature
MyBook is a cheap paperback edition of the original book and will be sold at uniform, low price.
This is a book about play practice rather than play theory. Of course, practice presupposes theory, but here the editors choose to keep general theoretical assumptions under cover rather then force them into explicitness. The contributors to this volume were given free rein to discuss whatsoever aspect of literary play caught their fancy. The absence of a predetermined theoretical framework has resulted in an idiosyntractic volume on the different forms of <i>play</i>.

People who experience a sudden hearing loss (SSNHL) are often treated with systemic steroids, which are taken orally. Studies however show that people with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) who do not respond to this treatment can benefit from intratympanic steroid injections. Studies carried out at universities in USA and Thailand show intratympanic steroid injections to be very effective and that the treatment does not have any side-effects.
Dr. David Haynes from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, USA, carried out the study of 40 people who had experienced sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Overall, 40% showed some kind of improvement when treated with intratympanic steroid injections.

AusGamers was given the opportunity to be the first publication in APAC to review Dead Space 3 and writes:
"An incredibly deep and expanding story and much of the Dead Space feel returning, albeit turned down a little, as well as all the new systems and elements will definitely divide fans, but may be more accessible to newcomers, which is always welcomed with such a rich franchise. Even with the familiarity this delivers a monstrous amount of satisfaction..."
Nine out of Ten? I find that hard to believe. Eights and Nines are thrown around lightly for most popular games. Don't misunderstand me I'm sure Dead Space 3 is a good game, But I highly doubt It's a "near perfect" game. It would be nice to see more realistic reviews on video games. This is all obviously my opinion.
Already beat it in normal and i loved it.
thank god the human encounters in this game are really rare and short too,pretty much they only appear in ch1,10 and in the end.you spend 80% of the game in dark metal corridors too ;)
overall the game is pretty great and has a great plot twist when you are about 3/4 of the game, not to mention the game is pretty long.. took me 15 hours to beat it, i guess in hardcore and retro this will take more time.
The demo wasn't bad but it certainly did not reflect a 9/10 game.
How can companies learn not to ruin franchises if your just going to dish out good scores
My mate got the game early and he says ita bad, horrible humn encounters, rolling, shootouts, tons of ammo, grinding, john is a horrible character, ellie has been sexed up

The best thing about barn finds, garage finds and warehouse finds are the hidden gems that are sometimes tucked away in them. In this 4-part video, author Ryan Brutt (Amazing Barn Finds and Roadside Relics) explored a treasure trove of a warehouse that belonged to someone named 'Mike'. The writer-columnist did not reveal much in his YouTube channel, Auto Archaeology, about Mr. Mike's identity, much more on the location of his warehouse. We can only hint that it is somewhere that frequently rains since the classic car safe house is properly cemented and completely dry. The video itself was shot during a heavy downpour.
Ryan was also elusive when asked if the cars were for sale. He simply answered no, and that Mike is in the process of restoring all of them. He's next project is restoring the Superbirds after finishing with the Daytonas.
Through the 4-part video, Ryan had a tour inside Mike's warehouse where he found a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, a handful of 1969 Ford Talladegas, six 1970 Plymouth Superbirds and some Mercury Cyclones were found in reasonably good condition, some of them eventually restored. Collectively called as the 'Aero Warriors' in the NASCAR circuit, these muscle cars (sometimes referred to as Aero Cars) were developed by the big four car manufacturers of the late 1960s: Dodge, Plymouth, Ford and Mercury.
Although we do not get to see the full, restored outcomes of these classic muscle cars, it is incredible seeing all of these classics under one roof. Ryan Brutt capped part 4 of his video series with a promise of more video features later in 2016, including a 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire and some other Daytonas as well. Seeing how he much he kept the location of his barn finds and the identity of their owners secret, we surmise that this is Ryan's way of "inspiring people to go out and see the world around them, to go through that junkyard or dig through a barn" and discover the joy of a great find.
Ryan Brutt is also a writer for Hot Rod Magazine, and a regular contributor in Muscle Car Review and Mopar Collectors Guide Magazine. He runs a blog called 'The Automotive Archaeologist' and a YouTube channel, 'Auto Archaeology'. Watch his first salvo of YouTube videos below.

New York Conversations - Screening with Anton Vidokle
21 November 2013Time: 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Event Type Screening
This event is part of the opening chapter for Home Workspace Program 2013-14, led by resident professors Jalal Toufic and Anton Vidokle.
For more information on the opening chapter and the year's schedule and curriculum, please see HWP 2013-14.
New York Conversations | 66′, 2010
Anton Vidokle
16mm film transfer to DV, sound, 66 minutes
e-flux films 2010
New York Conversations is a text film. Shot in a Chinatown storefront converted for this occasion into an improvised kitchen/restaurant, the film documents three days of public conversations between artists, critics, curators, and a free floating public. The talks, lunches, and dinners were organized by Rirkrit Tiravanija and Anton Vidokle in response to an invitation by Brussels-based art journal A Prior to be the subject of their new issue. Instead of commissioning essays or producing artwork to be printed in the journal, the artists decided to rethink the structure by which an art publication is produced and to attempt to do this discursively in a public setting. The film is a subjective record of these conversations, which explored various topics ranging from questions concerning precarious and immaterial labor in the field of art, possibilities for non-alienated life and working conditions, the feasibility of artistic freedom, and possible means of reclaiming dignity in the work of art criticism, to more immediate questions concerning whether what was actually taking place throughout the course of the event was in fact an artwork. In the tradition of underground cinema, essay films, and experimental language-based films from the conceptual era, New York Conversations insists upon a certain degree of participation from the audience, by way of critical reading. With: Francisca Benitez, Nico Dockx, Daniel Faust, Media Farzin, Liam Gillick, Egon Hanfstingl, Jörg Heiser, Steven Kaplan, Shama Khana, Anders Kreuger, Miwon Kwon, Valerie Mannaerts, Sis Matthé, Hadley Nunes, Saul Ostrow, Marti Peran, Simon Rees, Els Roelandt, Dieter Roelstraete, Martha Rosler, Joe Scanlan, Maxwel Stephen, Monika Szewczyk, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Jan Verwoert, Anton Vidokle, Lawrence Weiner, Andrea Wiarda, Louwrien Wijers and others.

Lansing, MI (July 2, 2014) – Former Rep. Matt Gillard (D-Alpena), who once chaired the House K-12 Appropriations Subcommittee, told the MIRS Monday Podcast this week that Gov. Rick Snyder didn't cut education by $1 billion as claimed by his Democratic opponents.
"I think this is politics and this is an election year," Gillard said, who's now the president of Michigan's Children.
Gillard contends both sides can successfully argue the point: Democrats, that overall education funding declined; and Snyder, that state spending on education increased.
"I would agree with Gov. Snyder that state funding support for K-12 education has gone up under his watch and he's correct in that," Gillard said. "I think overall funding for education has gone down, but there's a federal component to that."
Pressed over whether the decline in overall education could be blamed on the incumbent, Gillard said no.
"I think that the Democrats will have a hard time if that's their sole argument," Gillard said of the education funding debate. "In my opinion, no, Gov. Snyder is not to blame for the decline in education spending."
Gillard served in the Michigan House from 2003 through 2008.

Catalan helmer Ventura Pons again turns his eye on transgressive passion in "Idiot Love," an absorbing but dramatically uneven yarn of sexual obsession that extracts plenty of smart comedy from its darkness. Based on a novel by Lluis-Anton Baulenas (also known for "Anita Takes a Chance"), pic features a superb central duo and plenty of wit; but its wordy philosophy, some of which seems to have been lifted wholesale from the source, translates uneasily to the bigscreen. Pic will please many Pons aficionados, but lack of mainstream appeal is unlikely to open up any new markets.
Thirtysomething teacher Pere Lluc (Santi Millan), who's lonely, emotionally dissatisfied and willfully eccentric, is psychologically battered by the death of his Argentinean friend, Nicco (Gonzalo Cunill). Out drunk one night, he collides with a ladder on which Sandra (Cayetana Guillen-Cuervo) is standing, putting up banners for a company she runs with her husband.
Initially simply hanging around and watching Sandra as she does her work, Lluc visits her office claiming he wants to do business with her. The development of his obsession with Sandra is credibly drawn. He follows her to her house, taking photos of her from her garden as she stands at the window, becoming ever more daring in his voyeurism. The scene when Sandra finally discovers Lluc is a brilliantly staged combination of terror and comedy.
From then on, the abjectly masochistic Lluc becomes Sandra's plaything. Script is careful to make this unlikely role-reversal plausible, with Sandra herself turned on by the idea of being an object of desire. Before long, Lluc is pleasuring her in public places — prelude to a remarkable sequence which has them copulating in various positions and locations.
Pic loses its edge after the relationship has reached its consummation, with a new focus on the relatively conventional affair between Lluc's workmates, Jordina (Merce Pons) and Alex (Marc Cartes). The latter's pseudo-philosophical ruminations on love are especially tiresome, and point up the fact the pic is strongest when purely visual. This is also true of Lluc's insistent voiceover, a lengthy, self-justifying riff on human idiocy that rapidly loses its charm.
Ultimately, pic says, love is an animalistic thing, more about coupling than conversation.
The lanky, blank-faced Millan is a thesp with a TV background who shows heavyweight potential, dexterously turning self-confessed psychopath Lluc into a strangely appealing nihilist. The reliable Guillen-Cuervo is first class as the sassy, sexually confident Sandra, the other half of this intense, us-against-the-world relationship. Lensing is often low-lit and hand-held, in perfect accord with the bristling, edgy mood, but the jazz-inflected score too often strikes a false note. Humor is likewise not always well-judged.

Be sure to bookmark the Illuminare Score Library and check back often for updates as new scores will be added weekly.
The antiphons in these editions will include the Responsorial Psalm and Alleuia with Verse as found in the Lumen Christi Missal, in addition to the antiphons of the LCM "Simple Gradual", which contains a brand new, complete repertoire of proper and seasonal antiphons based in the new translation of the Roman Missal for parish choirs and for congregational singing.
Much more will be written soon on this new collection of antiphons (which are different from the antiphons in the "Simple English Propers" book – SEP is a book for the choir, LCM is a book for the congregation), but for now, here are cantor scores with pointed psalm verses for this coming Sunday:
If you haven't yet seen the Lumen Christi Missal, you can order it here. If you might be interested in considering it for your parish, you can request a sample copy here.

The distinctive tie that Mycroft wears in The Great Game does
not, sadly, feature opened umbrellas. Instead, Sarah Arthur has
revealed that the repeating pattern features a Goose in flight.
Gieves and Hawkes is one of the oldest bespoke tailoring
companies in the world. Founded in 1771, the company is formed from
the historic work of two tailors, Thomas Hawkes and James Watson
Gieve. Hawkes was the first to come, opening his first tailoring
shop in London in 1771, and much of his work was supplied to
officers in the British Army. Over fifty years later, Gieve worked
in the employment of a tailor in Portsmouth, who it is said
fashioned the uniform that Lord Admiral Nelson died in during the
Battle of Trafalgar. Gieve eventually opened his own business in
1887, named Gieves & Co. In 1974, Gieves Ltd - as it had become
known - acquired Hawkes & Co and the freehold on their premises
at No. 1 Saville Row in London, and the two companies merged.
Historically, the company holds a staggering list of past
clients, including Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, Michael
Jackson, former Presidents of the United States including Bill
Clinton and George W Bush, and Diana, Princess of Wales and her
sons William and Harry. Mycroft thus finds himself in apt
