New play by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter explores effect of gender and sexuality revolution
A GROUND-BREAKING and provocative play following the lives of a man and a woman as they try to break free from society's expectations about sexuality and gender, will premiere in London this week.
Sunlight, which is based on the life-stories of writers Michelle Shocked and Professor Bobby Lopez, will be performed for the first time tomorrow evening (FRI 11 NOV).
Featuring original music and monologue from twice Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, Michelle Shocked, the play explores the personal impact of society's understanding of sexuality and gender.
The play follows the stories of two young people, deeply affected by their upbringing, as they seek to make their way in the world.
Michelle and Bobby have never met, but their stories are remarkably similar.
Michelle is a teenage singer-songwriter from Texas, leaving her Mormon mother to pursue fame and fortune, whilst Bobby, having been brought up by a lesbian couple (his mother and her partner), is sent to boarding school by his previously absent father.
Encounters with different people reveal that Michelle and Bobby both experience isolation, and are unable to find anyone who understands their problems or who they are. Both are let down by people who promise that they can be trusted and both experience immense pressure to conform to certain expectations of sexuality and gender.
Tragically, in seeking true relational intimacy and trying to break free from their own past and society's expectations, they encounter strong opposition, which only worsens their experience.
Sunlight is an emotive and brutally honest account of life in the modern world, organisers say.
The play will be performed by Michelle Shocked, Michael J Mainwaring and Amber Flores.
Commenting on the play, Andrea Williams, chief executive of Christian Concern, which has helped to bring Sunlight to the UK, says:
"This is a dark tale of loneliness and betrayal. Sunlight is very honest about the struggles experienced by those wishing to break free from what has become 'the new normal'. This poignant play not only explores personal struggles against unwanted feelings or perceptions but also the political and public struggles involving those who, whilst claiming to further freedom, have in fact greatly restricted it.
"Based on true stories, Sunlight challenges dominant cultural narratives and exposes the real-life outworking of current trends."
Complimentary tickets for reviewers are available and interviews with the writers can be arranged, as can attendance at rehearsals.

It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. MLive statewide entertainment reporter John Gonzalez is searching for Michigan's Best Brewery, and on Friday he and his partners in beer Amy Sherman and Fritz Klug joined a contingent of Ann Arborites led by beer blogger David Bardallis and me on a tour through some of the best breweries in Washtenaw County.
We started our journey at Chelsea Alehouse (420 N Main St., Chelsea). Open for a little less than a year now, the Alehouse has a comfortable, light-filled atmosphere. From the wall of handcrafted beer club mugs to the salvaged industrial windows that separate the restaurant from the brewing operations, you can tell that every detail in the restaurant has been plotted out with great care.
"We want to be the pub where people feel at home," said owner Chris Martinson.
Next stop on the tour was Wolverine State Brewing Co. (2019 W. Stadium), where we were met by the indomitable co-owner E.T. Crowe and brew master Oliver Roberts. After a tour of the impressive brewing facilities, the crew sat down for some samples from Michigan's only lager-exclusive brewery.
For the moment, Wolverine is a beer-only venture, but a little birdie mentioned that there just might be a kitchen in the works. We're keeping our ears open for more info as it comes in.
After we said goodbye to our friends at Wolverine, we headed downtown to Jolly Pumpkin (311 S. Main St.), where the crew sipped nine sours and one stout. Since food is such an integral part of the Jolly Pumpkin experience, we also ordered some appetizers. Amy Sherman raved about the nachos, while I was happy to dig in to my favorite salad in town: grilled romaine with those ridiculously delicious potato croutons.
A quick trip around the corner brought us to Arbor Brewing Co. (114 E Washington St.), where owners Matt and Rene Greff and head brewer Mike Moroney started our visit off with a quick tour of the on-site brewing facilities and the basement where they're aging some tasty sours.
After the tour of the production areas, we sat down at a table with Matt and Rene for a guided journey through a seemingly never-ending selection of beers, complete with stories of their origins. As one of the designated drivers, I didn't taste many beers on this trip, but I couldn't resist sneaking a sip of one of ABC's sour beers — the Brune. This might be my new favorite.
After teaching out-of-towner Fritz the proper pronunciation of Milan, we headed over to Original Gravity (440 County St., Milan) for our final stop of the night. The place was packed with a mix of families and sports fans, enjoying OG's sandwiches, bar snacks and craft beers while the Tigers game played over the bar.
David Bardallis raved about the Primordial Porter, while Amy Sherman was impressed with the brewery's County Street Amber and the complex mix of hops in the Southpaw IPA.
Gonzo will be revealing the results of his quest to find Michigan's Best Brewery early next week, so make sure to check back.

MATLAB and Simulink for Neuroscience
For neuroscientists tackling tasks such as brain mapping, cellular neuroscience, and behavior and psychophysics, MATLAB® helps at every step. It can coordinate experiments, process noisy signals, wrangle complex data, and build and simulate detailed models of brain circuits. MATLAB uses fast, robust implementations of proven algorithms from signal processing, computer vision, machine learning, and other fields. MATLAB enables neuroscientists to manage their growing data volumes and to access research computing resources for large-scale analyses and simulations.
Neuroscientists are increasingly collaborating across the globe. They are creating, sharing, and using MATLAB community toolboxes and apps for neuroscience. And they are working with industry, building upon MATLAB enabled products designed for neuroscience research. Learn more about research with MATLAB and Simulink.
Explore how MATLAB can help in your neuroscience projects:
Brain Mapping
Brain mapping approaches provide a macroscopic view of brain activity or structure. They span a wide range of physical imaging and recording modalities including:
- Magnetic (MRI)
- Electrical (EEG/ECoG)
- X-ray (CT)
- Nuclear (PET/SPECT)
- Optical (NIRS)
Neuroscientists must overcome many challenges with brain mapping data. They need algorithms and workflows to carefully separate signal from noise, to localize signal sources, to ascertain functional connectivity, and to determine signal components related to the subject's task.
Neuroscientists use MATLAB®, and they create, use, and build upon many widely-used MATLAB based tools for brain mapping studies. They process raw data signals, produce brain images from multidimensional data sets, interpret and visualize brain mapping data sets, perform higher-order analyses of brain activity and connectivity, and much more.
Community Tools on File Exchange

- EEGLAB: A widely used toolbox for processing electrophysiological data
- FieldTrip: The MATLAB software toolbox for MEG and EEG analysis
- Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM): Free and open-source software for the analysis of brain imaging data sequences
Examples and How To
Cellular Neuroscience
Cellular neuroscience researchers seek insights into brain structure (neuroanatomy) and function (neurophysiology) at the microscopic scale of individual neurons and synapses. Neuroscientists use techniques such as:
- Electrophysiology
- Electron microscopy
- Optical microscopy
- Optogenetics
They collect recordings, image sets, timestamps, and other raw data from biological neural networks, and even from whole brains in the case of simple organisms. Recent advances in probe densities, recording speeds, microscopic resolution and fields of view, and integration with behavior and psychophysics are confronting neuroscientists with increased data complexity and data volumes.
Neuroscientists use and create MATLAB® based workflows and tools for cellular neuroscience. For applications such as multichannel recordings, tissue section imaging, and in vivo optical neurophysiology, they use MATLAB for performing and automating experiments and analysis. They can also combine techniques using MATLAB as a shared platform.

- Deconvolution and Demixing…: Source extraction and deconvolution from calcium imaging data
- Kilosort: Fast and accurate spike sorting toolbox
- Suite2P: Fast, complete two-photon pipeline
Behavior and Psychophysics
Neuroscientists perform experiments to understand the correlations and causal links between neural function, sensory inputs (psychophysics), and experimental subject outputs (behavior). These experiments provide a window into the principles of nervous system function, including cognitive function and even consciousness. Neuroscientists must produce controlled sensory stimuli as cues and quantifiable inputs. They must quantify speech, motion, and other behaviors. These experiments demand increasing levels of precision and automation.
Neuroscientists use MATLAB® and MATLAB based tools for studies involving behavior and psychophysics. MATLAB is used to track experimental subjects in streaming and motion-capture video, identify and classify behavioral features and events, control and record sensory inputs, coordinate complex multistate experiments, and much more.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Two men were killed and two others wounded in separate shootings Saturday in Cleveland.
The Plain Dealer reports (http://bit.ly/18qGsba) 20-year-old Jayvion Walden of Cleveland Heights died of gunshot wounds to his chest and stomach around 3:40 a.m.
Preliminary investigation indicates that Walden was walking with two men when they were confronted by two other men who shot at them before fleeing.
Three hours later and about 5 miles to the north of the first shooting in the city's east side, three men were shot in an apartment.
One of the men died of gunshot wounds to his chest and side.
Preliminary investigation indicates that the three men may have been arguing and exchanged gunfire.
Three children were in the home but weren't hurt.

Dust off your hiking boots and head for Ashdown Forest. We have accommodation around the area. It's fabulous at any time but on a clear, sunny day and with the trees filling with new leaf growth you can see so much. It's not just the views, though – just look at the textures. Windswept grasses against soft heather, dark birch and oak trunks... if you're given to taking a sketchbook on holiday, do bring it here. The walking doesn't have to be hard; plenty of hills but if you start from one of the car parks (which are free, by the way) and do a circuit, there's nothing too arduous.
The forest has plenty of lovely places to see even if you don't really enjoy walking. Winnie The Pooh country, around Hartfield East Sussex, is delightful, and it's worth calling in at the visitor centre, which has plenty of information – from maps and trails to how to recognise different types of newt – and usually an art exhibition. The volunteer staff are well-informed and helpful.
Last month the Ashdown Forest sadly suffered from a forest fire with smoke first seen from somewhere around King's Standing. It was ominously dark at the core requiring fire crews from outside Sussex to help bring it under control. The South East has been so dry in March and now with the announcement of a hosepipe ban we have had one of the wettest April months on record. The lack of rain was a concern so early in the season and potentially had worrying consequences for the Forest if it remained dry through the holiday season. We now joke that we are having the wettest drought ever! However this rain is a relief and although an inconvenience for those of us in the holiday industry you need only take the road across the Ardingly Reservoir and it will bring it home to you – the water level really is low.

Just like your own skin and hair, a dog's skin and coat are reflections of his overall health.
It is very important to take care of your canine friend's skin and coat, as the skin is the largest and one of the most important organs of the body. The skin forms a barrier to protect your dog's body from various infections, and it helps maintain the body's internal environment.
A dull coat of fur or skin irritation is a sign that your pet may be suffering from some internal or external issues. Some common skin and coat issues that your dog may suffer from are itchy skin, dull fur, excessive shedding, hot spots or rashes, dermatitis, dandruff and hair loss.
If your pet is biting at its skin, scratching obsessively and losing fur, it is a clear sign that your dog's skin and coat are not healthy.
Keeping your dog's skin healthy is not a big chore. Just a few extra steps or tips can keep your furry friend's skin and coat healthy all throughout the year.
Here are some tips to take care of your dog's skin and coat.
1. Shampoo Properly
Your dog needs frequent baths to maintain healthy skin. In the spring and summer, you need to bathe your pet more frequently than during the winter months.
The frequency will also vary depending on your dog's breed, coat, activity level and any medical conditions (like allergic coat disease). The frequency may vary from once a week to once a month, depending on these factors.
However, do not bathe your furry companion too often as it may strip the coat of natural oils and lead to dry skin and irritation.
It's important that you use the correct shampoo to have a positive impact on your dog's skin and coat health. A good shampoo can stave off a number of skin problems, as well as make your dog's coat look nice and shiny.
There are many shampoos to choose from depending on your pet's coat, skin condition and desired result. Your veterinarian can suggest the right product for your furry friend.
Never use shampoos made for humans. They may contain harsh chemicals that could damage your dog's fur or sensitive skin.
Make sure to brush your dog's coat before shampooing to detangle the mats that may trap shampoo. After shampooing, be sure to rinse its coat thoroughly. Any residual shampoo or conditioner can irritate the skin and make the fur look dull and lifeless.
2. Brush Your Dog's Coat
To maintain a healthy skin and coat, groom your dog regularly.
Brushing your dog's fur helps distribute the natural oils on the skin. Furthermore, it stimulates the skin and hair follicles, which in turn increases the natural production of skin oils that make the coat shiny. Brushing also helps prevent matting and reduce shedding by removing loose fur.
Another plus is that while doing so, you get to spend some quality time with your pet.
Brush your dog at least once every other day. Always select a brush that is appropriate for the type of fur your dog has.
Also, if your dog has long hair, keep it trimmed to prevent skin and coat problems. You can trim the hair yourself or use the services of a professional groomer. Reputable groomers can also clean your dog's ears and trim their nails.
3. Maintain a Healthy Diet
A nutritionally rich diet plays an important role in maintaining the health and condition of your dog's skin and coat. Remember, the better your dog's food, the better your dog's coat.
Hair is mostly made of protein, hence a protein-based diet is important. In addition, your dog's diet should include healthy fatty acids, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, folic acid, biotin and vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D and E.
If you want your dog to have a rich shiny coat and healthy skin, you can feed them foods like eggs, almonds, chia seeds, coconut oil, oats, liver from grass-fed animals, wild salmon, cranberries and sweet potatoes.
4. Give Your Dog Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplements
Healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids, play an important role in keeping your dog's coat in good condition.
Omega-3 fatty acids also have beneficial effects for skin problems. Their anti-inflammatory nature helps protect your pet from allergies or other inflammatory skin conditions.
On the other hand, a deficiency of fatty acids can make your pet's coat look dull.
Look for omega-3 supplements that contain EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Supplements come in liquid or capsule form. You can choose whichever is comfortable for you to feed to your dog.
It is always best to seek your veterinarian's advice before starting your dog on any kind of supplements.

England's Ox growing stronger and stronger after rapid rise with Three Lions stardom
European Championships, where he started the opening game against France in Donetsk.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has certainly come a long way in a short time since being signed by Arsene Wenger as a raw talent from Southampton two years ago.
Better and better: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, pictured here with the new Vauxhall Adam, intends to take everything in his stride as England push on towards the World Cup
The midfielder, though, is determined to keep himself focused on each new challenge as it comes along.
Speaking at an event organised by England sponsor's Vauxhall, Oxlade-Chamberlain told Press Association Sport: 'I have a bit more experience now, from both club and international level, on and off the pitch.
'The experience of going to the Euros with tournament football stands me in better stead looking towards the World Cup, but I still have a lot of hard work to do to make that squad for Brazil, if we do qualify.'
Oxlade-Chamberlain added: 'My progress into the first-team at Arsenal and the senior England squad was quite quick, probably quicker than I ever thought it was going to be.
Room to grow: The 19-year-old is likely to play in England's qualifying double header with San Marino and Montenegro this weekend
'I really just try to keep my head down, focused on my targets, and take everything in my stride.
'I have only achieved a tiny percentage of what I want to achieve in a small fraction of my career.
'I know I have got a lot more hard work to do and a long way to go, so I don't really think about how quick things have gone because I just want to keep improving myself and keep pushing on.'
Unfazed: Oxlade-Chamberlain fighting the elements and Swansea's Angel Rangel in Saturday's 2-0 win at Swansea
Natural similarities are drawn between the progress of Oxlade-Chamberlain and his Arsenal team-mate Theo Walcott, another product of the Southampton Academy and now regular for Roy Hodgson's England squad.
'Theo is a brilliant player, so I don't really mind getting compared to him,' Oxlade-Chamberlain said.
'He really helps me out a lot and has done ever since I stepped into Arsenal and coming away with England.
Young gunner: Oxlade-Chamberlain has been inevitably compared to teammate Theo Walcott
'This season he has been really good for Arsenal, scoring a lot of goals, which is what I am trying to add to my game, so I can learn from him in that sense.
'But I don't really look at it in terms of what he has done and what I am doing, I just focus on what I need to do to achieve the goals I set for myself.'

Working with two of Beacon's market leading drinks suppliers: Matthew Clark and Inverarity Morton, Kelley Walker, Purchasing Manager at Beacon, takes a look at the gin market in 2017 and where the opportunities are for businesses:
"We're seeing insight that suggests that gin is growing at a rate that isn't set to slow down this year, which is something that is echoed by two of our expert suppliers, Inverarity Morton and Matthew Clark. We saw gin sales tip over the £1bn mark in 2016, with around twice as much growth as its closest competitors: rum and tequila. The popular spirit is set to overtake sales of Scotch Blended Whiskey by 2020, which is currently the second best performing spirit in both the on and off trade behind vodka.
"Gin has seen a huge resurgence in recent years, with figures from the Wine and Spirit Trade Association showing that the equivalent of 1.2 billion G&Ts were sold in 2016 – an increase of 200 million compared to 2012. What's more, YouGov data has shown that that gin is the most popular spirit among drinkers in the restaurant market and the second most popular in pubs in bars, suggesting a huge opportunity for food led establishments. We have seen many of our customers respond to the increased consumer demand by introducing dedicated gin bars, which is something we anticipate will grow in popularity this year and beyond if gin sales continue at this rate of growth.
"Finally, with premium gin driving much of the value growth and the UK premium mixer market currently in growth at +122.5%, there is a clear opportunity here for operators to move into the premium market to maximise sales and cater to the ever-discerning consumer."

In a grim future cyborgs are pitted each other in fast and deadly matches. Your human mind is downloaded into one of the killing machines and you become a contestant in what is part training camp for the battlefield and part most popular sport of the human part of the galaxy.
VRocketz is twitch FPS like Quake3Arena and UnrealTournament for Virtual Reality. Currently we mostly see teleportation systems for locomotion in VR. VRocketz changes that. The player can use either a gamepad or his platforms motion controllers to move around. The gameplay is heavily influence by "oldschool" shooters like the Quake series, Doom series, Unreal and other games from that era of shooters. Main idea is to bring fast multiplayer deathmatches to VR but there ist also a single player story in the works.
Right now I am working to bring the prototype far enough for a viable Kickstarter campaign. The Kickstarter is meant to give me the possibility to turn VRocketz into a good Early Access title which can hit the different stores.

Direct Marketing Association President-CEO H. Robert Wientzen is facing the toughest times since he joined the organization in 1996. Already hampered by the economic downturn, the direct marketing industry now must deal with disruptions and fears caused by the anthrax threat to the nation's postal system.
An outspoken proponent of resuming business as usual in the days following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Wientzen said he is confident the direct marketing industry will recover, with b-to-b leading the way. Wientzen spoke to BtoB in advance of the DMA's 84th Annual Conference & Exhibition, which is taking place this week in Chicago.
BtoB: How significant does the DMA believe the anthrax threat has been to b-to-b direct marketers so far? What steps should marketers take?
Wientzen: For the short term, this is a serious issue for b-to-b marketing because we don't know what the impact will be on mailrooms and how they distribute our mail. Mailrooms will take a look at their procedures, and that will put pressure on us. The most important step is to make sure your mail is identifiable.
Overall, b-to-b will be in better shape because many names are well known to the recipients. People know the suppliers.
BtoB: With regard to direct marketing, do you think we are in a recession?
Wientzen: Yes, I think we finally have to agree that the events of Sept. 11 tipped us over into a recession. However, I will tell you that the overall estimates are still for positive growth in our industry.
While we believe that the overall economy is in a recession, we believe that, as in the case of the prior two economic downturns, direct marketing will do slightly better than bricks-and-mortar retail. That was the case in the past; we think it will be the case again. We are still looking at an annualized 3.3% growth forecast.
BtoB: How is the recovery likely to take place?
Wientzen: That's an interesting question, which I'm being asked a good bit by many people now. The best view is one that says that the business-to-business side is likely to come back first. I think it's important for people to know that.
We will likely see the b-to-b side of direct marketing improve faster than the business-to-consumer side. Consequently I'm telling people to very carefully, No. 1, focus on that area, because you're likely to see positive results sooner rather than later. Second, for those who want to see where we are in terms of direct marketing's return to normalcy, I would say: Look at the stronger b-to-b companies; you're likely to see the turnaround happening there first. That's a good indicator that it'll likely soon spread to the b-to-c arena.
BtoB: How is the DMA upgrading security at its annual conference in light of recent events?
Wientzen: No. 1, we added plans for increased security and revisited all our contingency plans, which are significant in terms of putting on a conference this big. Secondly, I have written to the governor of Illinois (George H. Ryan) and the mayor of Chicago (Richard M. Daley) expressing our interest in understanding what they've done.
I heard from officials in Chicago giving me a long list of things that they've done to beef up security both in the convention center and in the hotels around the convention center, as well as on the streets of Chicago. On balance, we're feeling that the city of Chicago is ready for our conference.
BtoB: Are you changing the content and schedule of the annual conference?
Wientzen: We didn't change the schedule. However, there will be a number of sessions that will focus on how we overcome some of the challenges of Sept. 11, and I'm sure you're going to hear from a number of speakers who will highlight these events in their presentations. But we're not making any material changes in the nature of the conference.
BtoB: The DMA decided to offer free coach airline tickets to the annual conference for new registrants. What prompted you to do that?
Wientzen: First, we expected to be challenged to have the same number of people who attended our prior conferences, given the fear of flying after the Sept. 11 events, as well as due to the declining economy and the fact that a number of companies are tightening their belts.
So we felt as though we had to do something special to alleviate some of the economic concerns that people had about going to any conference.
[The DMA declined to provide the number of new registrants who took the organization up on its offer. It also declined to provide an attendance estimate for this year's conference. The attendance at last year's annual conference in New Orleans was 14,000 people.]
Secondly, we were motivated by President George W. Bush's call for people to get back to business as usual, and we felt we could do something to help people get back to normal and come to our event.
When times are tough, that's when people really need to go to a conference. We wanted to make a special effort to help people who had the most economic challenges to be there.
BtoB: What are the DMA's greatest legislative challenges?
Wientzen: We continue to see the issue of privacy in many forms being the greatest potential challenge—not because there's imminent danger, but because if things happen in this area, they could be detrimental to the entire industry. We are more dependent than ever on the use of information, and information technology is producing a lot of the benefits our industry is recognizing.
The second area that threatens the business-to-business and consumer side is the United States Postal Service's declining health. Without a doubt, there are a lot of questions about the survival of the post office in its current form, and we've got to solve that problem, which is quite challenging.

Wow, those are busy times! Instead of writing several texts, I'll try to compress what happened in the past few weeks and what will happen in the next weeks into just one post. Some of you might have noticed already: I worked on a redesign of my website. 54 old project and workshop pages already got a makeover, I added fresh content from old harddisks and I made a RANDOMIZER which aims to let you discover some of my old and new projects, on which you'd otherwise never click.
Next up is a new front page – but this will have to wait until I have more time.
Future exploration workshop:
Three weeks ago, Kati and I gave a future exploration workshop for kids in collaboration with Germany's biggest kids & youth theatre. This was so much fun, such an energetic week and I love the outcome! Check out the documentation (incl. video)!
20 Windmill-powered music boxes playing "Für Elise"
Right after the final performance, I traveled to Namur, where KIKK festival happened. It's one of my favorite annual art/tech events and I was very glad that they asked me to develop a new large scale public sculpture! I'm very happy with how it turned out. You can find the documentation here. The installation will still be on display until the end of this month.
Instant Art Career in Maubeuge
After KIKK, I went on to Maubeuge in France. There, I was setting up Instant Art Career for a splendid show called "Smart Factory". If you live around the corner, go there, make a painting and join me for the big auction when I'll return next Sunday! All the money that each painting makes will be distributed among the artists (=visitors) who painted it. This is your chance to ca$h out and to become a famous artist!
Workshop in Tunisia
Right after when I return from the auction in France, I'll jump into the next plane to Tunis. There, I'll give a workshop on building DIY arcade machines together with Antonin Fourneau. The results will be shown at the local E-Fest and I'm sure it will be super, because Antonin is the guy behind the splendid Water Light Graffiti. But I'll write more about this later.

Dog Training
Any Breed, Any Size, Any type of training!
Single Session $60 (Visit our website for package deals that can save you up to 25%)
Puppy Starter Lesson (1 session) - This lesson is for the very young pup. We will start potty training, teach how to manage puppy problem behaviors such as chewing property, jumping on people, whining to get what they want, barking for attention, mouthing or biting your hands, and how to properly socialize. We will also teach the pup his name, teach him to check in with you often, and to accept being handled by the collar.
Prerequisite: 7 - 9 weeks of age and current on vaccinations
Beginner Course (6 sessions) - This is the foundation of obedience training. In our beginner course, we will be teaching the basics of obedience training. We will teach your dog to pay attention, obey basic commands and hand signs without repeating. Also leash manners (not to pull), the emergency recall (for when your dog has just made a mad dash for freedom), to leave things alone and to drop items on command. We'll stop door dashing and begin heel work ("Heel" is where the dog moves together with its owner, matching his movements, fluid and graceful, not interfering with his turns). We will also teach a trick like paw or something else if he already knows that one. We will also help with problem behaviors like jumping, chewing, barking, digging, nipping, mouthing, and potty training.
Upon completion and passing the final exam, your dog will earn an Associates Degree!
Prerequisite: current on vaccinations (age appropriate), and at least 10 weeks old.
Intermediate Course (6 sessions) - This level is essential for all dogs that are to be taken out in public. At this level, we will be adding distractions to your dog's commands (called proofing), and focus heavily on heel work. We will cover all the steps of heel, speeds and turns. We will help teach your dog to wait at doors and to get back he's getting too close to something. We'll teach the dog to move out of your way and to go to a designated spot when ordered.
Upon completion, your dog earns a Bachelor's Degree!
Prerequisite: current on vaccinations and completed Intermediate or comparable skills.
Advanced Course (6 sessions) - This is for a step above the rest. In our advanced course, we will being teaching to stop promptly on command, to get behind you and follow you on walks, send-a-ways (sending the dog away from you and then executing a command), commands in motion (like a police dog in heel then drops to the floor on command while the handler continues to walk), shaping (making your dog use their brain to figure things out instead of just following a treat), a trick like "waive" or other, a proper return (AKC style heel), reverse heel, and an introduction targeting.
Upon completion and passing a final exam, your dog will earn a Master's Degree!
Prerequisite: current on vaccinations and completed Intermediate or comparable skills.
Expertise Course (6 Sessions) - This show-off level goes beyond what you'd expect of a dog. The expertise level of training is not found in many dog trainer's repertoires. We will be training your dog to follow your commands with crisp, military like precision. We will teach your dog to take a guard position (for protection or just to keep a close eye on him), to look over his shoulder (for approaching people or dogs), about face (180 degree turns in place), to heel on the opposite side (should you have oncoming traffic on your heel side), to go home (sending the dog back to your house/front door), move side ways in heel, to walk backwards, to move forward on command, and move from following you to walking at point. Of course a trick for fun, maybe take a bow or other. We will also get the dog to use its strongest suit - its nose! We will be teaching him or her scenting, i.e. to smell out and find things, the same way a police dog sniffs out stuff!
Upon completion and passing a final exam, your dog will receive his or her Doctoral Degree!
Prerequisite: current on vaccinations and completion of advanced obedience training.

food+media (mad+medier) is a network of food and drinks communicators in Denmark. The purpose of the network is to improve the general quality of all gastronomy related communication in Denmark through the provision of a platform for discussion, sharing of knowledge, mutual inspiration, for meetings, events and debates in order to build valuable social and professional relations in the industry.
In 2010 PR- and Communications Consultant Marie Sainabou Jeng and Wine and Food Writer Rasmus Holmgård created Denmark's first large conference for food bloggers, titled Madbloggersymposium (Food Bloggers' Symposium). In 2011 food+media consolidated its organizational structure into a permanent four-person secretariat working out of an office in downtown Copenhagen. 2011 saw the official launch of the network as well as the first food+media conference open to all food communicators. As of February 2014 833 writers, editors, photographers, lecturers, researchers, bloggers and commercial communicators had registered a profile on madmedier.dk.
May 2013 food+media launched the Food+media Award; rewarding the country's foremost food communicators with the recognition their works merit across 14 categories. 27 June 2014 the Food+media-Award will once again pay tribute to the best food communicators in Denmark, and this time the award show will be held at the spectacular Royal Danish Opera in Copenhagen. The second edition of the Food+media-Award saw 429 submissions of a wide range of highly competent candidates. 65 members of the expert juries are currently discussing the nominations and the quality charters for each of the 16 chosen communications disciplines. The works of the candidates are evaluated against these charters and the final nominees will be announced 11 April. The winners will be duly honored 27 June at a gala award show with 250 guests, music, entertainment, champagne bar, cocktails and dancing.
During 2014 food+media will be involved in various events besides the Food+media-Award. We've launched a series of writing courses and will be working as partners on a variety of cultural events. See our list of partners and clients here.
The purpose of the network and the conference is to improve the quality of food communications across digital and printed media platforms. We believe the quality can be improved by creating a forum for sharing knowledge and ideas within journalistic tools and practices, developing of vocabulary and language, cooking techniques, evaluation of gastronomical quality, understanding aesthetic principles, sensory analysis and psychology of pleasure, consumer behavior, industry dynamics, market mechanisms, food politics and policy-making, pr and marketing.
We will meet our goal through
- A number of practical tools (website, meet-ups, workshops, articles, debate fora, guides, news)
- Exchanging ideas, knowledge, experience and research – online, in print and in personal meetings
- Building the identity of food communicators as a branch with common goals and quality levels to strive for – or to discuss
- Establishing a culture of food media self-criticism in order to challenge food communication clichés and outdated assumptions
- Finding inspiration in newfound personal and professional relations
- Exploiting new digital opportunities for sharing, discussion and interaction
- People who blog about food, gastronomy, recipes, taste, beverages, foodstuffs and raw materials, health issues (food related), food policy and food culture (professionals and non-professionals)
- People who write about the above-mentioned subjects in newspapers, magazines and online for traditional media (freelancers and employed journalists)
- People who photograph food or do food related features for tv and redio (photographers, journalists, stylists, advisors)
- People who are involved in research in food related matters (food or media sciences or journalism students, Master and Ph.D students, privately and publically funded scientists)
- People who communicate about food for businesses and organizations
- People working in food education, lecturing and presentation
food+media is looking for collaborators who can give value to the network through events, news, editorial content (for web and the printed publication), new network connections and other types of exciting input. We also look for financial partners who may benefit from food+media's favorable position to facilitate exposure of a company, brand, product or an original thought or idea to a large number of Danish food writers, bloggers, editors etc. Please contact us to find out more.

Ladies & Gentlemen,
it would be helpful if there was a functionality to number /renumber the folders automatically. Currently - if you intend to sort the folders in a non alphabetical way which seems to follow a specific logic, then numbering is the only way. Once you need to change the order of existing folders or you want to add additional folders, you need renumber all existing sub folders again. Awful. Some kind of automatic feature to renumber (according to a flexible pattern) would be great.
Joachim Schirra
There is no comment for this idea as yet.

Milkymist JTAG-serial daughterboard
From Qi-Hardware
- project homepage (KiCad files): http://projects.qi-hardware.com/p/mmone-jtag-serial-cable
- schematics PDF: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/schhist/m1-jtag-serial/pdf_head/usb_jtag.pdf
- schematics history: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/schhist/m1-jtag-serial/
[edit] notes (need to be cleaned up)
- never hot-plug the daughterboard, both Milkymist One and daughterboard need to be powered off when they are being connected
- after pluggin in USB, power LED at bottom left should always be on
- Depending on your Linux version, the daughterboard will appear as either one or two /dev/ttyUSB* devices. If two devices appear, the first one corresponds to the JTAG interface, and is not directly usable, the second one implements a serial interface to the MM1 SOC. On newer Linuxes that know the MM1-JTAG's USB-ID, only the second device (the serial console) appears.
- Connect to the console via gtkterm -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -s 115200 (use /dev/ttyUSB0 with newer Linuxes), then try
% % help % ls % ... (see commands with 'help')
- run ls, check that tx and rx leds are working
- Now you can also to access the JTAG interface via xc3sprog -c ftdi (need to run as root). Check that Desc: is XC6SLX45.
- For programming the MM1-JTAG interface itself, use:
libftdi FTDI - FT Prog (also works when daughterboard is not connected to Milkymist One). Need to change: PID, VID, Description;
- Manufacturer: FTDI (default), Sharism, Milkymist?
- Product description: Milkymist JTAG/serial
- SERIAL: to distinguish between multiple devices connected at the same time
- SerialNumber / Auto Generate Serial
- Hardware Specific, Port A, Hardware, from RS232 UART to 245 FIFO (maybe) (others: CPU FIFO, OPTO Isolate)
- When USB is connected, but not the M1 board, connecting with gtkterm and, pressing enter will make TX led blink
- left one = tx = send to m1 board
- right one = rx = receive from m1 board
- xc3sprog: error will be "No JTAG Chain found" (otherwise: "Could not find USB dongle")
- it took Yanjun Luo 1h/board for manual mounting

Plans for Growth
Our strategy for driving the business further forward has been, and continues to be, long-term sustainability and focused investment in our core service offering and infrastructure.
Nick Gross, Chairman
The firm's full service model continues to serve us well, enabling us to achieve underlying growth of more than 22% on our core services over the last two years.We opened an office in Brighton in May 2015 as part of our strategy to develop our geographical reach to support our vision to become the leading South Coast law firm in terms of our reputation for quality of client service and the quality of our talented professionals. Brighton is one of the fastest growing cities in the South East and as the home to many fast growing tech businesses and with a thriving cultural scene it was a logical next step for our growth strategy.
The firm is entering a new phase of growth and ambition following our merger with Charles Lucas & Marshall in March 2017. The merger reflected our desire to not only expand organically, but also through strategic by acquisitions and mergers with businesses that fit with our aspirations and culture, and we intend to carry out further mergers over the next few years. A number of top level strategic appointments have also been made and more are in the pipeline. We have many very talented legal and operational teams with many of our teams lauded as specialists in the key legal directories and some gaining awards for their levels of service excellence. Following the merger, we have expanded our geographic reach even further, with offices in Swindon, Wantage, Newbury, Southampton, Gosport, Brighton, Portsmouth and London.
New Technology Investments

Our Managing Partner and Chairman both sit at desks in an open-plan office with the rest of the staff, rather than being boxed away in offices.
Being less bureaucratic offers greater opportunities for our staff. In a smaller firm, you quickly find your feet and build good connections and networks which speed up your climb of the career ladder. We are able to spot talent, fast-track career opportunities for those who are ambitious, and provide opportunities to make a difference within the firm.
We work here!
Coffin Mew is a people business with a real focus on achieving the outcomes clients need. I was impressed by their innovating spirit and commitment to investing in staff development and that was something I wanted to be part of.
Mark O' Halloran, Partner – Commercial Services
Coffin Mew's approach of 'challenge and support' allows me to fully develop myself in my role, whilst knowing that I can always call on my colleagues for advice or additional resources.

Some great video here. It must said that could not happen if it wasn't for the well equipped dude. It one of the biggest boner I've seen.
I hate to admit I got caught up in a situation like this... I was an intern while in college, working at this company. My boss was female, 32, single mom with a 7 yr old daughter. We attended a company function together... boss with their intern. Afterwards, we went back to her house, I was suppose to drive the baby sitter home... a very nice cute 18 year old who was a senior in high school. We caught the babysittere masturbating while watching porn on tv. Since both of us had a few drinks at the party, we were not thinking too straight... and we basically wound up a 3some in the living room. I did drive the babysitter home, but several hours after. Her parents never even bothered to check to see if she was home, so I figured maybe my boss had used her before and had gotten her home pretty late. I did several one on one visits with both of them at later times.
yeahhhhh.good sex video
My bf thinks I get our sitter to stay at our house just for his pleasure,I enjoys licking her juices off his dick,she can't handle his big dick the way I can,she is very tight and he has trouble going full penetration inside her little pussy.The next time I'm going to get her opened up with a big dildo before he goes balls deep inside her.

Is there an issue with videx for wasting?
Response from Dr. Henry
That is a good question. Videx has not been used as much lately with some of the more modern/attractive regimens so data is very limited. Much of the older data involved use with D4T so it is hard to dissect out the contribution of ddI. If used with other drugs of relatively less impact on fats (ie abacavir -? FTC or 3TC) I would observe closely. There is concern about a negative effect on CD4 cell counts when used with tenofovir. KH

AIKEN, S.C. — Every morning, be it a downpour or 20 degrees, my day here in southeastern South Carolina begins with a walk from my rental apartment to the big house for breakfast.
The big house is the Carriage House Inn in downtown Aiken where I have stayed several times. There are B&B rooms in the big house, but my choice, since Digby days, has been a one-bedroom apartment in the back that includes a fully furnished kitchen, even a dishwasher which I don't have at home.
During the breakfast walk, my thoughts are always the same. What will Abbey, Andrea, or Angie have for breakfast? And, who will I share the big round table with?
Meeting other guests from all over the country, and a few from foreign countries, is a prime reason I stay here for several weeks. Conversation at the round table at 8 a.m. is brisk after the proper morning greetings are exchanged. It is a special treat if other guests also stay several days so that we can continue conversations each morning.
It was like old northwest Ohio week at the round table Friday morning. Nancy and Bob Hartung of Port Clinton are new guests at the inn. The Hartungs are retired teachers and like many other retirees are traveling through the South to find the perfect place to relocate. "We are both golfers so where we decide has to have a good golf course," Bob said.
When I suggested they would have to get a horse if they move to Aiken, Nancy said,"No way; we are downsizing." The Hartungs' home is on Catawba.
Many couples who are retired or soon will be come to Aiken from northern states because they have decided to buy or build at the Woodside Plantation, an exclusive gated community with golf courses and a country club. I have heard more than one husband at the breakfast table say that finally they won't have to keep driving from state to state looking for a retirement place that pleases their wives.
Single men and women are also in my circle of new acquaintances. The men often are associated with the Savannah River Site, a major nuclear project that covers thousands of acres in this area.
If I were to be here during the Masters at nearby Augusta, April 7-14, every room and apartment at the Carriage Inn would be occupied by Australians who come every year and were ecstatic last year when Adam Scott, a countryman, won the tournament.
Most of the women I have met at the table are not as interested in where they can shop or the best restaurants in town. They are horsewomen who have trailered their horses from eastern states and want only to connect with the many equestrian events here and to ride through Hitchcock Woods. I am intrigued by their love of and devotion to their horses as they speak of them as their best friends, much as pet owners speak of their dogs and cats.
The round table wouldn't spin in such enjoyable harmony if it were not for the women I lovingly call the AAA team.
Angela Swearingen and Andrea Williams not only serve the breakfast, but they often also prepare the food as well as do the housekeeping at the inn.
The third A is Abbey Zipfil, who in addition to being manager often slips into the kitchen in the evening to prepare an overnight breakfast casserole.
Abbey has one rule for the hot breakfast dishes.
"They have to have few ingredients and are easy to fix," she says.
Here are two quick, easy breakfast recipes from the Carriage House Inn.
Peach Upside Down Overnight French Toast
½ cup butter
1¼ cups brown sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 20-ounce can sliced peaches, drained
1 loaf French bread
5 eggs, beaten
1½ cups milk, or use 1 cup milk and ½ cup half and half
Spray a 10 by 15 inch pan with non stick cooking spray.
In a small saucepan melt butter; stir in brown sugar, and water and cook for 2 minutes on low heat.
Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly.
Drain peaches and arrange evenly over first mixture.
Slice bread into ½-inch slices and arrange to cover peaches.
Beat eggs; add milk, and pour evenly over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bake 40 minutes in 350-degree oven.
Cool 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving upside down.
Blueberry Granola Breakfast Bake
1 egg
¼ cup sugar
1½ cups milk
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup fresh, or frozen, blueberries, or use another fruit
3 cups granola
Maple syrup, if desired
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch round or square baking dish with non stick cooking spray.
Beat together egg, sugar, milk, and butter. Stir in blueberries and granola. Spoon into prepared pan and level with spoon.
Bake 45 to 60 minutes until set. Serve warm with maple syrup.

ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston to Expand Operations in Boardman, Ore.
ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston to Expand Operations in Boardman, Ore.
$200 Million Expansion Will Add Capacity and Jobs
OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ConAgra Foods, Inc., (NYS: CAG) announced today an estimated $200 million expansion of its Lamb Weston frozen potato facility in Boardman, Ore. This strategic investment will add a new line to the plant - increasing capacity for making french fries and other frozen potato products - and is expected to create approximately 100 jobs for the region.
As consumer demand for frozen potato products continues to grow both domestically and internationally, this significant capacity increase is needed to fulfill Lamb Weston's customer growth projections, particularly the dynamic growth expected from international markets.
"Our need to expand is a testament to our strong customer partnerships, our great-tasting french fries, and the outstanding work our employees do every day to create food people love," said Rick Martin, vice president, Global Operations, ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston. "This expansion also reflects our confidence in the region's growers to deliver high-quality potatoes while working with state and local government to ensure long-term, sustainable growing practices. We specifically appreciate the efforts and support of the Columbia River Enterprise Zone, Port of Morrow, city of Boardman, Morrow County and the state of Oregon and are proud to be an active part of this thriving community."
"We're thrilled Lamb Weston has reaffirmed its commitment to Boardman and the entire Columbia River Basin," said Gary Neal, general manager, Port of Morrow. "As Lamb Weston realized, Boardman is an ideal place to expand as its business and employees continue to thrive here."
Construction of the 192,000 square foot, state-of-the-art addition is expected to begin in early 2013 with completion in 2014. The expansion does not alter ConAgra Foods' existing fiscal 2013 capital expenditure guidance.
"We are excited about Lamb Weston's commitment to expand its operations in the Columbia Basin," said Tim McCabe, director, Business Oregon. "We look forward to working in the near future with the Port of Morrow, city of Boardman and Morrow County as a partner to assist Lamb Weston's growth and ensure they remain a major employer in the area for years to come."
ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston is one of the largest employers in the Columbia River Basin - an area known for growing high-quality potatoes and other vegetables. The company operates seven facilities in the region employing nearly 4,500 people, including 500 employees in Boardman and 500 in Hermiston, Ore.
With easy access to the Port of Morrow, the Boardman facility is strategically situated to support both domestic and international growth plans of Lamb Weston customers. Proximity to prime growing and shipping operations also helps reduce transportation needs, supporting Lamb Weston's efforts to shrink its carbon footprint. The existing Boardman facility is EPA ENERGY STAR® Certified as a result of employee efforts to reduce energy, reuse water and increase recycling.

I'm having an infuriating problem with http://forum.renoise...-type-a-sounds/
It's three XRNI's -- Carbon, Harmor and Photone.
Carbon and Photone play ok on my computer keyboard, i.w. QWERTY. But doesn't make any sound when I'm playing on either of my midi keyboards.
Harmor doesn't make any sound on either one. The instrument is there and when I press return I can audit the individual samples, but nothing plays on either computer keyboard or midi keyboards.
All other XRNI's that I have work just fine on both. I've been trying out pretty much everything I got, but it's just that linked download that refuses to behave. Everything else I load up works just fine on the computer keyboard and both of my midi keyboards.
Is there some setting I've completely overlooked here or is the instrument itself broken?? Sorry if I posted a real dumb question here, but I've just stared at all the settings for an hour and I can't seem to find anything that would cause this behaviour. I've narrowed it down to three options: #1: I'm suffering from selective blindness and can't spot the correct setting. #2: The problem is something self-evident and I'm just too dumb to use XRNI's. #3: The XRNI's in question are broken in some way.
Any helpful thoughts?
