Professor Roshan Jachuck Leads Process Intensification & Clean Technology (PICT) Group at Clarkson
Professor Roshan Jachuck, of Newcastle University (UK), heads a newly established Process Intensification and Clean Technology (PICT) group within Clarkson's Department of Chemical Engineering and CAMP. He has over 10 years of research experience in this field and was responsible for setting up the first international Centre on Process Intensification at Newcastle University (UK). A faculty development grant of $375,000 from New York State's Office of Science, Technology, and Academic Research (NYSTAR) has brought Professor Jachuck and his team (three graduate students and post doctoral researcher Dr. Philip Leveson from Newcastle University) to CAMP.
The next generation processing plants for manufacturing advanced functional polymeric materials, nanostructured alloys and composites with improved product characteristics will emerge from the activities in the areas of process intensification and miniaturisation. Nano to microscale multi-functional modules equipped with nanosensors for real time data management will form an integral part of the process manufacturing plant. This innovative approach could make the process plants mobile thereby creating more opportunities for flexible distributed manufacture of high value products with improved product quality, while reducing waste, increasing energy efficiency and improving inherent safety.
Process Intensification (PI) is a novel design philosophy which aims to revolutionize process engineering by revisiting the fundamentals of fluid dynamics and transport phenomena. The concept of PI was conceived by Professor Colin Ramshaw ( Professor Jachuck's mentor) in the mid eighty's and it is generally believed that in the last few years PI has come of age. It is no longer considered an academic dream but has become an industrial reality. The reasons for this may be attributed to the fact that PI has a sound technological base and has the potential to improve processing competitiveness. The perceived benefits of this technology are many and are appropriate for the processing industry, which is currently braced with extreme challenges and is striving for a competitive edge. Process flexibility, improved product quality, speed to market, just in time manufacturing, reduced foot print, improved inherent safety and energy efficiency, distributed manufacturing capability and ability to use reactants at higher concentrations are some of the benefits of the proposed technology. In order to realise the benefits of process intensification reactors, intensified heat and mass transfer modules together with novel processing routes will be required.
Professor Sergiy Minko's Work Involves Nanostructured Responsive Materials
Professor Sergiy Minko (Egon Matijevic' Chair Professor of Chemistry) recently joined Clarkson University from the GW Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research in Dresden, Germany. He is an expert in colloid science and has done extensive work with "smart" responsive functional materials based on self assembly in polymer and colloidal systems. Polymer molecules are very sensitive to external stimuli and respond by dramatically changing conformations. This mechanism is in the origin of key functions and interactions in living organisms. The goal of Professor Minko's research is to introduce this concept into the world of synthetic materials combining basic fundamental, and application oriented research.
Synthetic approaches allow for the combination of various functions in the one material when the desired function/behavior can be "switched on" or "switched off" on demand or upon external stimuli. Hence materials are becoming "smart," expressing behavior which is characteristic rather for devices. Such a behavior is specially valuable at the nanoscopic level, when the construction of devices is limited by small sizes.
Responsive materials allow for the combination of dramatically different physical properties and the external signal results in expressing one of them or a combination of them. In this way geometrical size and shape, adhesion, wetting behavior, electroconductivity, light emission, etc. can be alternated with outside changes.

Last Wednesday, large swathes of the public appeared to be caught off guard when Russia began an air campaign in Syria. After weeks of hearing about the build-up of Russian military equipment we were still somewhat surprised to hear that they were actually using it despite repeated reassurances by the Kremlin that such a move would never occur.
With the annexation of Crimea in March 2014, the seizure of Georgian territory bordering South Ossetia, along with the conflict in the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, we should probably have learnt by now that the current occupier of the Kremlin can be economical with the truth.
As such, we probably shouldn't have been surprised in the slightest when Putin, as promised throughout the entire Syrian conflict, moved to support his ally, President Assad. The reason perhaps for our shock in this case is that Putin apparently delayed Russian involvement for so long.
However, as many following the conflict already recognise, Russian armed forces have been taking part alongside Iranian military personnel, training the Syrian Army and acting as advisors. Combine this with the repeated promises of assistance and consistent backing of Assad, and we should have known it was only a matter of time before Putin made good on his promises to defend Assad, and more importantly, the assets leased from the Syrian government.Putin has spent the past years waiting for his moment. In order to have the best and biggest impact, he had to act at a time when the coalition airstrikes organised by America and the UK had been discredited.
Given that they have now been happening for the best part of a year with no end in sight and no tangible impact, this was the perfect moment.
More than this, however, Putin is showing himself to be stepping up to defend Assad from the radical ideas of ISIS, at a time when other nations are not successful at doing so. As such, Putin is being presented in his narrative of the Syrian conflict as being a peacemaker, a defender of the recognised government from American sponsored rebels and radical fighters.
Putin's narrative has been being prepared for a long time. However, the key to success was that he could not be limited to peacemaking in the Syrian conflict. He needed to show that he could succeed where NATO had failed. In working with rebel elements in Donetsk to delay their local elections, as well as securing the further withdrawal of heavy weapons and artillery from the front lines, he has done just that.
In this manner, he has created a new image – Putin the Peacemaker. Putin the Diplomat. In all reality, anyone feeling surprised by Russian actions in recent weeks has underestimated Putin. He has consistently tried to create a Russian identity, one acting in direct defiance of NATO where necessary, harking back to the glory days of Soviet Russia, willing to do anything to ensure that Russia is supreme.

In case you hadn't heard, there's some damn good hip-hop goin' down in the 505 these days. Some is local, some imported, but the connecting thread is that a lot of it can be caught at Burt's Tiki Lounge's free weekly Vinyl & Verses series on Wednesday nights. Some of the better acts I caught last year include Burqueño emcees Def-I and Wake Self, and Chicago's Qwazaar and Robust. In advance of another V & V show tonight at Burt's, I thought I'd post a video to show the caliber of talent that this event attracts. Doors open at 8:30 p.m., and the whole thing is pretty lax. Performances usually start late and end close to 2 a.m. There's always breakdancing during the shows, not to mention some heavy cyphers outdoors once the venue shuts down. Tonight Jivin Scientist, Zoology and Golden Ghost are on the bill. Check it.
V.21 No.1 | 1/5/2012
Vinyl & Verses tonight at Burt's
Free dope-alicious hip-hop

Qwazaar at Burt's tonight
Qwazaar is one-third of Typical Cats—arguably the dopest hip-hop trio ever to rep the Windy City. He just put out an album with DJ/producer Batsauce, and they're playing tonight at Burt's Tiki Lounge (313 Gold SW). For free. Above is a video the duo released. Below is an old favorite to give you some classic Qwa flavor. The show starts at 9 p.m. Lady Daisy, Jungle and Audiyo open.

Annabelle, ever since I read about that woman who sat alone in her garage for 6 years, I've been fretting about all my neighbors: Why did she do that?
Annabelle, ever since I read about that woman who sat alone in her garage for 6 years, I've been fretting about all my neighbors.
Why did she do that?
Because she was dead. Did I leave that part out? All her bills were scheduled electronically, so no one noticed. Why is it always the people we owe money to that notice that we're dead first?
I know. I think Visa has a camera in my house, waiting for me to be one day late.
Man I love surveillance. There's probably been way less single people eaten by packs of wild dogs since all our personal information went online.
I hope you'd notice within a day or so. What if I choke on something. Peanut can't call anyone. Astrid might try, but she wouldn't notice I was dead until she got hungry.
There are stories of people's animals calling 911. I wouldn't worry. Plus, Visa would be on the horn before Peanut could text "Timmy fell in the well!"
Would Visa call 911? Maybe I need more pets to hedge my bets.
Definitely not. More pets would probably eat you.
Hmmm…good point. Maybe I should get a Life Alert necklace. But I'm probably too young. How about I just text you after every meal to make sure I didn't choke to death?
You do that anyway. I think between us and Peanut we have you covered. I hope our neighbors have hedgehogs. Dexterous hedgehogs. I think they're getting tired of me checking to make sure they're not dead. The neighbors, not the hedgehogs.
I can see how that could be disquieting. Maybe just do it once a week.
Once a week? I was thinking I should trim it down to once a day.
How often are you calling, Scarlett?!
I'm not calling, I'm stopping by. If they're dead they can't answer the phone, silly.
Right…So, why don't we answer some questions. It will keep you distracted from checking on your neighbors. Again.
Q: Our neighbor has been stopping by several times a day to say hello and see if we need anything. Should we call the police? She seems unusually interested in our activities. We've caught her looking in our windows when we don't answer the door right away. – The Neighbors
S: Weird. Who would do that?
A: Uh, Scarlett?
S: What? Anyway, don't call the police, they're really busy right now. At least that's what they keep telling me.
A: I think it's time for another question.
Q: Last week I wrote to ask you about finding a girlfriend who was into clown culture and you suggested I manifest one, which I thought was kind of a jerky thing to say. Except now I'm surrounded by clowns. There are clowns at work, clowns on the subway, I can't seem to get away from them. – Bozo but thinking about changing my name
S: Annabelle? Where'd you go?
A: (texting from the closet once again): I told you so!
S: Bozo, you're not alone. We're all surrounded by clowns. That's the problem.
Q: I've been thinking about getting a tattoo. Yay or nay? I work in a bank so it would have to be hidden – Lydia the Maybe Tattooed Lady
A: I can't even wear a pair of shoes for an entire season, I get bored, so a tattoo is out for me.
S: Me too. Commitment issues. But I think they look nice on other people. Sometimes. See? I can't even commit to how I feel about tattoos.
A: I figure it's like choosing an outfit in 2014 you will still want to be wearing in 2030. Styles will really change. The tattoo might clash with your space suit. Unless your tattoo is of a spaceship.
S: Which will be very confusing during the alien invasion.
A: Oh, good point!
S: So Lydia, be really careful if you get a tattoo and don't use crop circles as inspiration. Maybe pick dogs playing poker or another classic.
Do you have alien-friendly tattoo designs you'd like to suggest? Or questions you need answered? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Or follow us on twitter: @fixitsisters

Formerly property of the Bishops of Aosta, then restored in the 15th century by Ibleto of Challant, Issogne Castle's current appearance developed between 1490 and 1510 under George of Challant, the prior of Sant' Orso, who restored and transformed it into a luxurious residence for his cousin Margaret de La Chambre and her son Philibert. These works transformed Issogne castle into a luxurious Renaissance residence. After various owners, it was bought by the artist Vittorio Avondo in 1872 who restored it and donated it to the State in 1907. Today the castle belongs to the autonomous Region of Aosta Valley. Not far from the castle are the ruins of its dove house.
Entering the castle, the courtyard offers its walls, painted with the coats of arms of the Challant family and of the dinasties related to them. In the centre of the courtyard is the famous wrought-iron pomegranate fountain, symbol of the Challant family.
Then comes the hall frescoed with the famous "lunettes", scenes from everyday life (the guards, the butcher and the baker, the greengrocer market, the tailor's workshop, the pharmacy and the grocer).
The visit of the apartments of the castle includes:
– on the ground-floor, the dining room, the kitchen and the Baron's hall, where you can admire a beautiful stone fireplace with the Challant crest alongside a lion and a griffin, painted wooden beams on the ceiling and frescoes on the walls depicting landscapes, hunting scenes and the Judgment of Paris;
– on the first floor, the chapel with finely decorated, pointed arch vaults, frescoes on the walls and a Gothic altar in carved, gilded wood in a Flemish triptych,and the Countess's room with painted oratory;
– on the second floor, the "King of France's room", with a coffered ceiling decorated with lilies and a fireplace with the French Vallois dynasty shield, and the room called the "Knights of St. Maurice" with a beautiful, coffered ceiling with the Order's cross painted on it.

Eric Abidal is targeting a playing return after returning to Barcelona training.
Abidal returned to training with his Barca team-mates last week, eight months after undergoing his transplant operation.
"I feel good. I'm eager to fight and to return. At times it was tough when I woke up in the morning, but little by little I've trained with the aim of returning and this helped me," he told TV3.
"I never thought about stopping playing because football, apart from my family, is my whole life."
He added: "I really wanted to start kicking the ball again. I knew that once I'd touched it again, the path to recovery was a little shorter.
"You always need to try it. If you don't do it, you don't know if you can. That's why I wanted to train, to know if I was capable."

Greg Biffle is NASCAR's Bubble Boy.
It is a precarious place to be with just five races to go before the 16-driver field is set for the Chase.
Although Biffle is 13th in points after a fifth-place finish at Pocono, he is precariously close to not making the Chase. Three drivers with victories — a premium in the new qualifying format — will supersede him for a Chase berth.

|Re: [digester] parsing xmlrpc message
|Fri, 23 Jul 2004 01:53:07 GMT
I think what Simon said explains exactly how to do it. I would only add one thing. There's a common misunderstanding people have when learning Digester, and I wonder if you are making that mistake. People think: "When I call addCreateObject(), it scans the input XML for a tag matching the pattern and then creates an object on the stack". But actually, that's not what happens at all. All the calls like addCreateObject() just add a rule into a table. They don't even look at the input XML. After you are finished creating all the rules, digester sequentially processes each tag/attribute in the input XML, by applying matching rule(s) to it. So, the rules don't necessarily execute in the order that you wrote them in the java source code. And, a single rule can execute many times, on elements in different levels of the input XML. The end effect is that you get something like recursion, although it's implemented using the digester stack.

(This is a general interpretation of Holy Scripture. We encourage you to read the scripture for yourself and pray to GOD for knowledge, he will give you knowledge if you ask for it in prayer.)
One of the biggest misconceptions of Christianity is the belief that Yeshua came and nullified the Laws of Moses or the Torah. In our opinion he most certainly DID NOT, Yeshua actually made the Torah tougher to follow in regards to the moral commandments. In his third section of the Sermon on the Mount Yeshua teaches how the Law (Torah) should be perceived and what we must do to stay in the Kingdom of God.
Matthew 5
17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Of course we can also conclude that the Scripture found in Isaiah 50 and Isaiah 51 was fulfilled with this section of the Sermon on the Mount.
Isaiah 50
1Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
5The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
Isaiah 51
1Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
2Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
3For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
5My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
6Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
8For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
9Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
10Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
11Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
12I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
13And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
14The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
15But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.
16And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
17Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrungregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
18There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
19These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
20Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
21Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
23But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.

So, these topics are quite interesting, especially when you look at the topics needed for this. For this blog post we will focus on the planning an upgrade process as this is really one of the largest areas that most organizations need and you will definitely need to know for the exam. Firstly, head over to the following URL and get a copy of the eBook for upgrade and migration:
Now read this blog post.
Now signup for this On-demand webinar I did on Upgrade.
Finally let's actually talk about a bit more about the options available for an upgrade, really from the perspective of steps needed.
Having worked on quite a few upgrades over the year, there are two trails of thoughts, the first being the database upgrade approach and then the migration option. I am not going to talk about a migration, though this is often the ideal approach allowing for cleanup and rework during the process, instead let's look at the standard Microsoft approach outlined for the exam.
In the database-attach method, you first create and configure a SharePoint Server 2016 farm. Then you copy the content and service application databases from the SharePoint Server 2013 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) farm, and then attach and upgrade the databases. This upgrades the data to the new version. Site owners can then upgrade individual site collections. If you are moving from SharePoint 2010, then you will first need to upgrade the databases to SharePoint 2013 before you can move to SharePoint 2016.
NOTE: SharePoint Server 2016 does not support SharePoint 2010 mode (that is, compatibility level 14) site collections. Any site collection that is in this mode will block the attachment of that content database to the SharePoint Server 2016 farm. You must upgrade all SharePoint 2010 mode sites to 2013 mode (that is, compatibility level 15) on the existing 2013 farm before you mount the database on the new SharePoint 2016 farm.
SharePoint Server 2016 supports an upgrade from SharePoint Server 2013 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) with March 2013 PU, version 15.0.4481.1005 or higher.
To ensure the database are ready, you can run the Windows PowerShell Test-SPContentDatabase cmdlet on a SharePoint Server 2013 with Service Pack 1 (SP1). The content database does not need to be connected to a SharePoint site for this either. The goal is to determine what site collections are running in SharePoint 2010 mode. The following Windows PowerShell command sample returns the list of all site collections that are in SharePoint 2010 mode. You would run this command on the SharePoint Server 2013 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) farm so that you could upgrade those site collections into 2013 mode before attaching the content databases to a 2016 farm.
Get-SPSite -Limit All | ? { $_.CompatibilityLevel -eq 14 }
This can be modified if you want to find sites in the SharePoint Server 2013 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) farm that are in SharePoint 2010 mode but on a per-content database basis, run the following Windows PowerShell syntax on the SharePoint Server 2013 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) farm:
Get-SPSite -ContentDatabase
Once you have worked out the compatibility level of the databases you are now ready to perform the upgrade steps needed. The following image shows the flow of steps needed to perform the upgrade:
Image Source: https://i-technet.sec.s-msft.com/dynimg/IC846948.png
In reality when moving from SharePoint 2013 the above steps work fine and can be followed directly, however when moving from SharePoint 2010 or older, the process needs to be modified slightly, allowing for the multiple hop upgrade approach. The logic steps would be:
As you can see there are quite a few steps needed to ensure that an upgrade is successful. To learn more about some of the core tasks review the following TechNet articles:
Copy databases to the new farm for upgrade to SharePoint Server 2016
Upgrade service applications to SharePoint Server 2016
Upgrade content databases to SharePoint Server 2016
In the final Exam Prep post, we will look at Optimization and Monitoring for SharePoint 2016.
Create SharePoint 2013 Farm
Create SharePoint 2016 Farm
Copy Databases to SharePoint 2013 Farm
Upgrade Service Applications
Upgrade Content Databases and Site Collections
Copy Databases to SharePoint 2016 Farm from SharePoint 2013 Farm
Upgrade Service Applications
Upgrade Content Databases and Site Collections
This process should happen a few times, in order to ensure the process is clean. Upgrading the database is obviously a major task and probably the most intensive unless you have customizations that need to modified too. There is no easy way to make the customizations you have work in a newer version of SharePoint. This process can be complicated and often very time consuming, however it is all about reviewing code and making adjustments. Once this process is completed the customizations, for example server side solution files (WSP) need to be deployed to the new SharePoint 2016 Farm, so that the existing connections and functionality work when the content databases are attached to SharePoint 2016.

Ah, the wonders of diversity. Billions of years of evolution, the tree of life branching, branching, branching. Countless branches becoming extinct, but others flourishing, sending out new shoots, filling very conceivable habitat.
And always surprises.
Herewith, another creature, a first for us on this little island. An amblypygid. Also called a whip-spider. Or tailless whip scorpion. Although not exactly a spider or a scorpion, of which we have plenty.
Amblypygid means "blunt rump."
Remember the bat cave and the boa. Here is Mr. Blunt Rump (or is it Mrs.?), found on the same expedition, in the same cave, clinging to a damp wall. In the dark. As big as one's hand. A scary looking thing. No idea what it was until we got home to the internet.
Feeling around in the dark with its front legs. Having sex in a yet another ingenious way. Occasionally molting.
Why am I boring you with this menagerie of creatures?
The story here is not the creatures. The story is nature's inexhaustible capacity to surprise. The prodigiousness of life. The teeming sea of creaturedom in which we swim. Gape. Gasp. The fullness! The fullness!

An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in the Town of Stamford. Originally published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office, London, 1977.
This free content was digitised by double rekeying and sponsored by English Heritage. All rights reserved.
Sources for Stamford History
The earliest historical account of Stamford was written by Richard Butcher, a town clerk, and published in 1646 as A Survey and Antiquity of the Town of Stamford. Frances Howgrave, printer of the Stamford Mercury, published An Essay on the Ancient and Present State of Stamford in 1726, allegedly to annoy Peck; it derived much from Butcher. Francis Peck (1692–1743) was a serious historian and in 1727 he published the first volume of a projected history of the town called Academia Tertia Anglicana. Arranged as a series of Annals up to 1461, it includes much useful material such as the lost medieval conveyances formerly at Browne's Hospital and has as appendices Butcher's Survey of 1646 and two letters from the Reverend W. Forster, vicar of St. Michael's, to Mr. Tanner and John Stevens, concerning antiquarian topics. Peck's two volumes of miscellanea, Desiderata Curiosa, published in 1732 and 1735, contain little of relevance to Stamford. His friend and contemporary William Stukeley (1687–1765), vicar of All Saints' from 1730 to 1747, did not publish any of his work on Stamford. 'Designs of Stanford Antiquitys' is a collection of plates from Peck and drawings by Stukeley compiled in 1735; this is complemented by 'Stanfordia Illustrata', an attempted history of the town written in 1735–6. In his 'Designs' Stukeley drew reconstructions of several medieval buildings which he believed had been academic halls. He based these reconstructions partly on memory but mainly on visible evidence, observing that 'a discerning eye, that is a little conversant with our Stamford manner of building, will not find it very difficult' (Stanfordia Illustrata II, 73). Further notes on these houses are included in Stanfordia Illustrata where, on the fifth day of their conversation, Palaephatus (Stukeley) takes his friend Panagius on a tour of the town. Much of the value of the descriptions lies in their reference to features which have not survived. Among the buildings described, the following are of particular importance:
(1) Black Hall (Plate 70; Designs, 78; Stanfordia Illustrata II, 88). This building lay on the site of 1 Barn Hill, but faced S. towards All Saints' Place.
(2) Peterborough Hall (Plate 70; Designs, 73; Stanfordia Illustrata II, 86) was immediately W. of monument (281) at the E. end of All Saints' Street, on the site of the present G.P.O. William White, who died c. 1720, had altered the front which Stukeley restored partly from memory. The window at the upper end of the 'large and elegant hall' had painted glass including quarries depicting cocks; the cross wing on the W. had a parlour and a lodging room over. Behind was a small courtyard with ancient but altered buildings.
(3) Sempringham Hall (Plate 70; Designs, 75; Stanfordia Illustrata II, 73) was a farmhouse in 1736 and remains as 31–32 St. Peter's Street (412). Stukeley's drawing is a reconstruction based on visible evidence. His notes are incomplete but mention four stone staircases.
(4) Thurney Hall (Plate 70; Designs, 20; Stanfordia Illustrata II, 115). Part of this house remains in St. Mary's Street (349). The hall was 'handsomely coved at the upper end', and the kitchen, originally the parlour, had painted glass, golden portcullisses recurring frequently. There was a stone staircase, and 'a necessary closet in every room'.
(5) All Saints' Vicarage (Plate 71; Designs, 28; Stanfordia Illustrata II, 91) survives as 16 Barn Hill (103). 'The front of the house was originally of this form. A hall with a cove at the upper end . . . many old latin verses still visible painted on the timber. By a stone staircase we go up to his lodging room, handsomely coved, the wainscot ledge along the cornish for tapestry hangings'.
Later historians relied heavily on Butcher and Peck, adding later material from their own experience. William Harrod published The Antiquities of Stamford and St. Martins in 1785, and John Drakard, printer of the shortlived Stamford News, published a History of Stamford in 1822; both books consist largely of borrowed material. In 1813 Thomas Blore, a lawyer, published An Account of the Public Schools, Hospitals and other Charitable Foundations of the Borough of Stamford as part of an attack on the corrupt way the Town Council ran its charities; it provides much valuable information. George Burton's Chronology of Stamford, arranged alphabetically by topics, was published in 1846 and contains much useful material relating to the 19th century. Later histories, such as M. E. C. Walcott's Memorials of Stamford (1867), are generally short and derivative. One of the most important printed sources for the 18th and 19th centuries in Stamford is the Stamford Mercury which began in 1695 and became the Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury after 1783. Copies before c. 1720 are rare.
The first attempt at a modern history of Stamford is the series of short essays edited by A. Rogers in The Making of Stamford (1965). The chapter on the 19th century must be qualified by the work of S. Elliott, for instance in Lincolnshire History and Archaeology 1, No. 4 (1969). Recently, the Stamford Survey Group has produced two reports, on medieval buildings and religious institutions respectively. Since 1966 excavations have been carried out on many sites in the town by the Stamford Archaeological Research Committee; interim reports have been published in Medieval Archaeology.
The diocesan records of Lincoln are in the Lincoln Archives Office and cover Stamford N. of the Welland; St. Martin's is in the diocese of Peterborough and the archives are in the Northamptonshire Record Office. In Stamford Town Hall are the municipal records including court rolls, and the Chamberlains' Accounts which record briefly corporate expenditure between 1697 and 1835. The Hall Books contain the minutes of the council and record decisions and admissions to freedom from 1465 until they were superseded by council and committee minute books in 1835. The Marquess of Exeter's manuscripts at Burghley House include maps, conveyances and court rolls. The Day Books of the estate, recording expenditure between 1770 and 1800, are in the Burghley Estate Office.
There are very few maps of Stamford. Speed's map was drawn c. 1600 and was reprinted several times with slight amendments. James Knipe made a survey of the whole town in 1833, which was published early the following year (Plate 56). In Burghley House are maps of St. Martins made in 1773 by W. Murray (Plate 3), and in 1799 by J. Baxter.
Of the topographical artists who visited Stamford in the early 19th century, W. Twopeny is the most important. He was particularly interested in medieval buildings and recorded many features which have not survived. J. C. Nattes made some drawings in 1804 and J. C. Buckler and E. Blore drew a few outstanding buildings during the first half of the 19th century.

Looking For Tips About Football? You've Come To The Right Place!
Football isn't just a sport that is enjoyed by men, there are many women who love the sport too. Male or female, young or old, everyone loves to follow football! If you are perplexed by this and want to know more, take a gander at the following article to become knowledgeable about the game.
Condition yourself more for practice, then for the game of football itself. While you need to be ready for game day, practice will take the most out of you physically. Therefore, it's vital that your conditioning keep you up to par in practice and making a good impression there, to avoid much bench time.
Discover your best talent in football and focus on that, rather than trying too hard to be a superstar player. Coaches need specific plays and players, not fancy show-offs. Practice and perfect your best drills and make sure you can participate with those exact moves when the coach and team needs you most.
A valuable football fitness training technique is shuttle runs. These help to increase speed and endurance, while also having the added benefit of developing lower body muscles. Shuttle runs increase distance gradually, by reaching specific yard lines, then returning to starting position. The next yard line is a further distance away, and the action is repeated, typically by 10-yard lines.
As you try to get better as a non-professional football(fotballturer) player, record your favorite NFL team and watch the film over and over. Mimic certain plays and use the pointers you get from the professionals, and incorporate them into your own game. Although you probably won't be as amazing as what you see on the film, it will help improve your own game.
Learn how to get past defenders when catching a kick off. The best way to do this is run directly behind a few of your best defenders. They will block for you most effectively and will create an opening for you to run down the line towards the goal.
Be sure to drink lots of water or a sports drink as you play. Being in the hot and heavy equipment you have to wear to play football(fotballreiser) safely will leave you sweating buckets. Replace that water by drinking so that you don't end up with a cramp or an injury.
Football training takes a toll on your body if you do not have a consistent recovery plan. This does not mean taking time off from training during the off-season periods. It means allowing your body to recuperate every night and on days off. Get at least eight hours of sleep every night, drink plenty of water (not sodas) and soak in epsom salts three times a week.
After reading this article you can now see what makes football an enjoyable sport to follow. Not everyone stays glued watching each weekend, but rarely do you find a person who finds themselves bored when a football game is on. Since you just read interesting tips about the game, your enjoyment level should rise the next time a football game is on! Endorsed By reiseshop.

Hamilton haunted by failure even in triumph
By Alan Baldwin
AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Fear and failure haunted Lewis Hamilton at the U.S. Grand Prix on Sunday, even as he sped towards victory and membership of Formula One's super-elite club of 50 race winners.
When the triple world champion was informed that he had joined greats Michael Schumacher and Alain Prost as only the third driver to reach the half century, the Briton sounded surprised.
Most of his attention, on what to all appearances was a dominant afternoon in the Texas sunshine, was spent fretting about a possible engine failure dealing another devastating blow to his battered title hopes.
"In the cockpit all I could think about was the car making it to the end," Hamilton told reporters after the champagne had been sprayed, team photographs taken and autographs signed. "Nothing else.
"It was the whole race. It was the longest afternoon that I've had probably that I can remember really in my career, just hoping that the car makes it to the end. Gearbox. You're feeling all the vibrations of the engine through the rev range and gearshifts.
"Every single lap I was thinking something might happen ... when I get on that backstraight I'm petrified. It's got a beautiful ring to it, but it had a beautiful ring in Malaysia. I was honestly just haunted by that.
"When I came across the line I was so happy, just rubbing the cockpit, thank you for getting me there."
In Malaysia two races earlier, Hamilton had been enjoying a similarly commanding afternoon when the engine suddenly failed and 25 points disappeared in smoke.
With them, he would now be leading the championship rather than fighting 26 points behind German team mate and title favourite Nico Rosberg with three races remaining.
The nightmare of Sepang cast a dark cloud over the subsequent race in Japan and still haunted Hamilton even as he took pole position in Texas.
"I was trying to do fewer gear shifts through a lap to try and save, make the gearbox go longer than perhaps it wants to," he said.
"With the engine I wasn't doing 100 percent throttle down the straight, I was pulling it back to 90 in some scenarios just to try not to stretch it, because for whatever reason it's more likely to happen on my car."
Hamilton has had two retirements this year to Rosberg's one, and that was due to a collision between the pair, but the Briton has had more setbacks -- particularly early on when Rosberg won the opening four rounds.
"I'm hoping that for these last four I have 100 percent reliability," he said. "That will be a real breath of fresh air."

Research on Expatriates working in India (Mumbai)
my name is Giovanna and I am part of a research team at the University College of Dublin in Ireland. We are currently conducting a study on Expatriates working in India.
At the moment, we are seeking participants to our study and I hope some of you will be willing to participate. We basically need approximately Protected content of your time for an interview about your experience of working in India. Expatriates of every country are welcome to participate. To complement our findings we would also be interested in interviewing Indian people who work with expatriates.
We see this as a tremendous opportunity to learn from the experience of individuals as a way to help foster a better understanding of Expatriate adjustment in culturally distinct contexts.
If you are interested in taking part to our research, please send me an email at Protected content . We will arrange for an interview at a mutually agreeable time and place. Since I am in Mumbai until February 9th, I can conduct the interview in person, or if you prefer I can call you on your mobile or on Skype.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Wishes,
Giovanna Rampazzo

If you do a lot of electronic work, it may be handy to keep a color-coded resistor chart nearby. Becky Stern of Adafruit has you covered with this cross stitch sampler. You can find her pattern at the link.

When I took CompTIA A+ in 1999 memorizing the color-coding of resistor bands was one of the requirements. This would have been handy since I'm pretty sure I got all of those questions wrong. And this was during a time when all PC parts became FRUs and knowledge of this wasn't even applicable to computer repairs anymore.

I just wanted to throw up a few of these corporate structures so you can get familiar with the games I think these guys are playing…I haven't looked into Las Vegas Sands or Wynn extensively but from what I have come across as well as the cross over with Melco, I feel both are destined for steep declines.
Steve Wynn and Sheldon Abelson have equity holders interests in mind about as much as Philip Falcone did when he manipulated and dumped Lightbridge & the package of residual housing bets that came with it on teacher pension funds.
If you follow the news about the tiff between Wynn and Kazuo Okada, how about this…they are in cahoots and this was a strategy to loosen up some shares. Didn't Wynn lie about getting divorced a couple years back, for the same purpose?

Call for young scholars for Regional Co-operative Research Conference in Buenos Aires
The ICA CCR Young Scholars Program, the Young Scholars Initiative Working Group on Co-operatives and Co-operation, and Wageningen University & Research are jointly convening a workshop on Co-operatives and Co-operation.
The objective of the workshop is to give young scholars from different disciplines the opportunity to develop further knowledge and skills on current issues related to Co-operatives and Co-operation as well as to give space for networking and exchange.
The workshop will require preparation (prior reading and writing) as well as active engagement with the work of others during the session. In order to make this as productive as possible we are looking for young scholars, in particular PhD students, whose own research touches upon topics related to co-operatives and economic co-operation, such as the sustainability of the co-operative model, co-operative governance, innovations in co-operation and enterprise, producer organisations, co-operatives and big data, etc. The event will start on Tuesday evening, 3 July.
4 July will be dedicated to a full-day workshop, after which Young Scholars are invited to participate in the ICA Research Conference, taking place on 4 - 6 July in Wageningen, Netherlands (www.wur.eu/ica2018).
Keep looking for updates, as we will be publishing registration procedures, projected costs, and information on reimbursements for travel and accommodation by March.
If you have any question don't hesitate to contact: email@example.com.

Latest edition of the Review of International Co-operation is out!
The Committee on Co-operative Research of the International Co-operative Alliance is pleased to announce the publication of the Review of International Co-operation 2017 on co-operative research in Latin America.
This special Issue presents views from Latin America that, we hope, sheds light on what Cooperativism represents as a socio-economic movement in the region. It includes eight academic papers that have been peer-evaluated, from Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Paraguay and Colombia, dealing with responses to catastrophes, cooperative contributions to sustainable development, member participation and education, growth strategies, and policy evaluation. Three more articles deal with research in Latin America in general, and one with Brazil in particular, discussing theoretical and methodological approaches, as well as university and post-graduate studies on the subject.
Guest editors Claudia Sanchez Bajo, Mirta Vuotto and Ana Maria Sarria Icaza introduce readers to the diverse co-operative ecosystem in the region. Given that most regional research in published either in Spanish and Portuguese, this effort is intended to enhance the dialogue among co-operative researchers and practitioners, policy-makers and the co-operative movement worldwide.
The Special Issue 2017 of the Review is now available here!
Please send your reactions and questions to email@example.com

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are edging higher on Wall Street but investors remain focused on Washington, where a partial shutdown of the U.S. government has weighed on the market all week.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 32 points, or 0.2 percent, at 15,028 as of noon Eastern.
The Standard & Poor's 500 was up five points, or 0.3 percent, at 1,684 and the Nasdaq composite was up 22 points, or 0.6 percent, at 3,797.
Investors have been discouraged as political wrangling over the new health care law led to a partial shutdown of the government that is now in its fourth day.
The S&P has finished higher only twice in the past 11 days as disgust over the budget impasse grows. The index is down 0.4 percent for the week.

1100 S. McAllister Ave, Tempe, AZ
Part 1
How can the international climate system best ensure that national climate pledges are implemented and increased over time? With the Paris Agreement taking forward the system of voluntary pledges started with the Copenhagen Accord, attention will now need to shift to the 'review' part of 'pledge-and-review'.
Review under the Paris Agreement could potentially bring a number of benefits. It could help ensure that the voluntary contributions are in line with internationally agreed objectives and principles, such as the objective of staying below 2 °C/1.5 °C or equity considerations. It could enhance transparency, trust and accountability between Parties by creating a shared understanding of Parties' contributions and implementation efforts, as well as the underlying information, data and assumptions. It could identify obstacles to implementation of national pledges, and help channel resources to countries to overcome such barriers. Finally, review could increase ambition by providing an opportunity for feedback and exchange of ideas and approaches, and by encouraging additional reciprocal actions from other Parties.
Review processes are included in the Paris Agreement in three major ways. First, the treaty provides for implementation review through an 'enhanced transparency framework', applicable to both (adaptation and mitigation) action and (financial, technological and capacity-building) support (Article 13). Second, the agreement establishes an implementation and compliance mechanism, allowing for a compliance review (Article 15). Third, the 2023 'global stocktake' provided for in the agreement seeks to 'assess the collective progress towards achieving the purpose of [the] agreement', allowing for an effectiveness review (Article 14). Parties will also have an opportunity to assess the adequacy of current efforts through the facilitative dialogues to take place in 2016 (on pre-2020 action) and in 2018 (on post-2020 action).
Together, these provisions seem to offer a much-needed framework for reviewing how Parties – individually and in aggregate – fare in meeting and increasing their commitments under the Paris Agreement. Inevitably, however, the devil is in the details: while the decision accompanying the Paris Agreement offers some useful details on each of these processes, crucial decisions on the modalities and procedures have been postponed to the first Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA).
The 1st half of the workshop seeks to provide timely input into this process. While the workshop does not necessarily seek to answer the questions on how these various processes should be designed and put in practice, the aim is to identify the priority questions that will require addressing at the next COP in Marrakech.
Part 2
For the past several years, international attention has focused on negotiating the Paris Agreement. Now that the agreement has been adopted, it is possible to step back and ask, what are the Paris Agreement's implications – for individual countries like the United States; for other actors, including non-governmental groups and sub-national governments; and for international environmental law and international cooperation more generally?
The 2nd half of the workshop is intended to provide an opportunity to begin this process of reflection. It will be organized around three themes:
- Implications of Paris for the United States
- Non-State Actors in the Climate Regime
- Implications of Paris for International Environmental Law and International Cooperation

So Im so sorry that Ive been distant, things have been far too complicated and I finally have things to talk about!
So. Part of the reason Ive been MIA pretty much ever since I joined the site? Well, let me start from the beginning:
Ive had chronic stomach problems and unexplainable pain since 2009. Now, it wasnt too bad at the start, went to see a few doctors, got a few different diagnoses and treatment plans.
But nothing was working. And it started getting worse. And the doctors didnt know why.
Within the past year these problems have reached the point where I can no longer attend school, work, or function normally. No traveling to events, no great parties, no adventures, Ive been spending my time staying home and trying to keep myself sane.
In the meanwhile, I was advised by my specialists to go to Mayo Clinic. You know, THE Mayo Clinic? That big one that deals with people that are really sick with unknown diseases?
So I drive to the clinic this past Monday to meet with the team that will be working on my case. They run all sorts of tests and try different treatments.
I decided to pretend I was being abducted by aliens. I got to be probed, sedated, scanned, and poked in the tummy.
The poking was probably worst, they took these long needles and an ultrasound to see where they were going with it, and they had to keep me awake for it.
But theres good news in all of this. They believe, in simplest terms, that my body and brain are exchanging incorrect messages, basically bringing excess attention to pain while also causing dysfunction of my digestive system and organs. If this happens to be the cause, I will be spending weeks at the clinic in a rehabilitation program, aimed to train my brain and body to work correctly. If its not, they test more variables and try different treatments.
So not the most fun prognosis, but its better than no answers, and theoretically they can fix me. And thats the best feeling in the world. I go back for the next few weeks for more testing and possible treatment, but things are finally starting to look up.
In other news, Ive been an SG for a whole year! Huzzah!
The timing from when I became an SG to now has been particularly problematic, and Im hoping as soon as the smoke clears and Im in a better place with my health I can shoot again. I want to dance and sing and run marathons and travel. I have severe wanderlust.
Im also planning on moving. West. As far west as Cali or Washington. And this should be in the next few years, sooner the better. Illinois is not the state for me. Hell, the midwest doesnt feel like the place for me. But the west? Ive been there. And I love it. Its the only place Ive ever felt home.
Other news?
I chopped my hair off. It was too damaged to do anything else with it. I cant wait to grow it out and do fun stuff with the colour.
I love my cat she's freaking weird
been enjoying my main current vice
playing a lot of Ratchet and Clank lately too!
I'm going to take some photography lessons and start working on a few projects I've had in mind. I'll be damned if I"m not self shooting by the end of this year.
And Im probably going back to college to finish my degree after I finish cosmetology school in a few months.
A few odds and ends:
Craving new perversion? These deserve a look or three
Pyke - Star Gazer
Kraven - Sweet Escape
Boom - Big Fish
Liu - Blowing in the Wind
Ortie - Nooks and Crannies
Amarena - Prelude to a Kiss
and a psfb for you?

Sorry, Tucker Carlson: Statutory Rape Is Still Wrong if the Victim Is Male
As I previously predicted, the new Fox News show Outnumbered is shaping up to be must-see TV for fans of retrograde ideas about gender. Tucker Carlson particularly relishes the role of being the big man who's going to tell these silly girls (his co-hosts) that they don't know anything about how men "really" think, and he trotted out another doozy on Thursday by complaining about a female teacher getting arrested for rape. While you would think an anti-feminist like Carlson would enjoy hearing that women commit rape too, Carlson objected because he simply doesn't believe that statutory rape counts if the perpetrator is female and the victim (in this case, a student at the teacher's school) is male.
"It's ludicrous that we are calling this a rape. Are you serious?," he griped. "I'll tell you what's wrong to this extent — he went and tattled to the police and destroyed her life. Are you joking? What a whiny country this is."
In fact, the student did not "tattle" on the teacher. According to NBC New York, the 38-year-old gym teacher from Queens carried on with a 16-year-old student over the summer, and he told a friend about it. That friend told a parent, who then reported it to the police. Which was the right thing to do, since adults who take sexual advantage of minors, regardless of gender, are engaging in criminal behavior.
Carlson was leaning on a couple of untrue assumptions, or what feminists might call "rape myths," to justify his tirade. One is that, as anyone who has ever listened to Van Halen knows, all boys are hot for teachers, so teachers can't actually take advantage of boys. "You're this boy, and all of a sudden you're a rape victim? You pursue an older woman, and have a relationship with her, and you're a rape victim?" Carlson said. "It defies common sense. And anybody who's being honest with himself knows exactly what I'm talking about." But just because minors might want to have sex with adults doesn't mean that the adults are right to exploit them. After all, minors also want adults to provide them with alcohol, but that too is illegal. And to assume that boys of a certain age are more equipped than girls to consent to sex with an adult assumes that boys, by virtue of their gender, are smarter and more capable of handling themselves than girls are.
The other false assumption in play is the idea that all sexual assault is treated the same and that everyone who is found guilty can expect to have the book thrown at them. Carlson seems hung up on the idea that the teacher is being charged with "rape," but she is not actually being treated the same as someone who forced themselves onto someone else with overt violence. She is being charged with third degree rape and a third degree criminal sexual act, because our justice system figures out the different degrees of various crimes and is supposed to mete out punishment accordingly. "Boys and girls are not the same," Carlson pleaded to his co-hosts. Good news, Tucker! Neither is third degree and first degree rape.

Connecting Through Language Learning
I believe in teaching English to speakers of other languages, especially adult students and newcomers to America. In my classroom at Monroe Community College in Rochester, New York, I see faces from all over the world, a diverse group of people who have come together for a common purpose – to learn English. My students are white, black, Hispanic and Asian; from Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas; Muslim, Christian, Buddhist and Hindu. They are all trying to create a better life for themselves and their families. And learning a common language to communicate with each other is where we begin.
In the first-level course, students write their autobiographies, practicing their writing skills by starting with what they know. They share their stories with classmates, trying to write clearly so that others can understand. They explain different customs and practices to each other and marvel at the unfamiliar, all the while recognizing the commonalities. They come to see our classroom as a safe place, a place of respect and understanding, a place of support in their new and often confusing lives. They help each other with suggestions, advice, and answers to questions beyond our classroom walls. Through the process of writing the stories of their lives, they join the many other immigrants who have come before them, each with his or her own story, each forming a part of our larger national history.
I believe that teaching English to speakers of other languages is a privilege, which helps not only my students, but also helps me become a wiser, more open, and more understanding person. As my students struggle to learn English, I learn from them about their countries of origin and of their experiences coming to America. Through the writing and sharing of stories, we all learn about each other: about one student's experience fleeing war in Kosovo, another's life in the refugee camps of Kenya, about the problems facing women in third-world countries, and about burial ceremonies in China. We learn about India and Mexico, and about customs in Nepal; also about the difficulties of not knowing the English language and trying to go to high school in New York City. We talk about the green card process, about traveling and first experiences on airplanes, and of arriving in Rochester in the winter and thinking it must be Siberia.
Although our world is quickly growing connected in technologically advanced ways, face-to-face interaction on a deep level with persons of different backgrounds is a rare privilege. In telling and writing the stories of our lives, we share with one another, teach understanding and respect for each other, and become friends. This, I believe.

The Day the Falls Stood StillBook - 2009
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Set against the tumultuous backdrop of Niagara Falls at a time when daredevils shot the river rapids in barrels and great industrial fortunes were made and lost with the dawn of hydroelectric power, The Day the Falls Stood Still is an intoxicating debut novel. Part Canadian history, part romance and social comment, this novel offers the reader an insightful look into women's lives during and after the First World War as they struggled to find their place in a rapidly changing world.
I had never heard of this book. It took a while to get into the plot, but it turned out to be a surprisingly good book. It is historical fiction based on facts about the mid 1800's harnessing of Nigara Falls. The ending is sad, as many books of that era were.
I would reccomend it for a summer or winter read.
This book reminded me of "City of Light" by Lauren Belfer. Both are interesting in their coverage of the history of Niagara Falls, but the characters and plots are not so amazing.
The setting for this love story is Niagara Falls in 1915. Very well written, it has historical details of the falls and daredevils who challenged them, also the men who developed energy from them. The backdrop of World War I adds interest.
I found this to be a beautiful book. I was a little nervous about how much I would like a book that's set in the 1800s (and early 1900s), however, that aspect brought SO much to the story and I was very thankful for it in the end. The characters are wonderful and the description of the Falls and river, etc. leave you with a vivid picture of what it was like to be there at that time. Worthwhile read!
An enjoyable read. The time and place of the story are central to what happens. The falls and river are a character in the story. Filled with interesting tidbits about the history of Niagara Fall, the story feels authentic.
I really enjoyed this book. I used to live in Niagara Falls and it was interesting to recognize places/streets in the book.
A wonderful first world war story of Niagara Falls. Full of history, the characters are vibrant and real, and the Falls become a character in itself. The ending is as expected, and not necessarily happy.
Niagara Falls was my favourite character in this book. I wasn't quite as awestruck with the love story, but did enjoy it. Based loosely on a real riverman back in the early 1900's - his photo is at the back of the book, and he looks just like a hero (rather hot actually). Apparently he saved around 175 lives and many hundreds of animals over the years. The book examines faith, in particular the loss of faith, and that is something that I certainly could relate to.
