Though internet has become a usual aid and tool to our daily routine, there are still some people who claim that internet is not the best source of education and that is should not be used as an education tool. However, the popular belief that internet has done many great things to all fields of studies is not a thesis that can be unproven.
Long Distance Education
More and more universities around the world have been offering the opportunity of online courses to students. This is considered as one of the most innovative ideas in the education evolution.
Universities that were once untouchable by many students have now the ability to provide studies and courses to any person no matter how far he lives. This would not be possible without the use of the internet and online platforms that can actually help students from every corner of the world.
Bringing Visual Aid
Professors have realized the importance of internet and quickly used it in order to get the students' attention. Visual aids, videos, and other useful apps have really helped to bring a lesson alive and keep the interest of the students. Many of them would be otherwise bored and not paying attention, but this way each student can fully comprehend the lesson while the knowledge can really stick to their minds easier.
Unlimited Access to Information
Internet is for everyone thus, the knowledge is not limited anymore. Anyone can search through online databases or find all the academic research that he wants. With the right search engines, students are now able to view every scholarly publication or studies from other students. What is more, there is no need to buy each book a professor recommends. With their online free version every student has the ability to download it and read it.
Lost or Misplaced Information
With the use of online platforms and internet, a teacher can be absolutely certain of each student's assignments and projects. No more misplaced documents or lost essays. As a result, they can track all of the student's works while communicating in a team platform.
Being able to find your professor at any time, and ask him a question sets a new form of communication. In this way, the whole education process becomes more fun and interesting while you can safely store all of the important information.
Sure there are a lot of risks and dangers when someone is surfing through the internet, especially for underage students. However, the benefits are so important that all people should learn how to properly use it and make it an everyday tool that will assist them in their education as well as in the working field later on.

how about you?
do you have a ceiling fan in your bedroom? or do you hate them?
OR---do you have a love/hate relationship with the ceiling fan--you hate them,
but HAVE to have one??
I love this post! Living in an old house in the South, we need ceiling fans. The rooms you chose are perfectly beautiful Autumn.ReplyDelete
i hear ya! people who have never lived in the south really don't get how humid it can still be at midnight! i love my ceiling fan too!Delete
Have a ceiling fan and love the air. Hate the fan, but love the air. Hugs, MartyReplyDelete
amen! i keep telling my husband to invent an "invisible" ceiling fan, so we could be instant millionaires!!Delete
I have a love/hate with our bedroom fan. I wish we had a chandelier since I'm obsessed with my vintage inspired electric fan. (Addicted to the noise to help me get to sleep!) It's rare that we use the overhead fan but our canopy bed placement keeps the idea of anything else being an option. When we build I'll have an overhead in the guest bedroom but that's prob it as far as bedrooms go.
By the way that fan from Pulp Design Studios is incredibly cool!
ooo. totally agree that the filing fan from the pulp design studios is FAB. it looks vintage and also looks like it could out out some FIERCE air!Delete
My husband put his foot down and said the ceiling fan is staying in our bedroom when we moved into our new house, don't tell him that now that I'm pregnant and hot all the time, that ceiling fan has become my best friend! I think the key to a ceiling fan when you have to have them is to pick a plain one that doesn't compete with the rest of the room.ReplyDelete
I have a ceiling fan in my master and it is on 100% of the time. It is a nice fan, and I think it is the right accent for the colonial tropical vibe.ReplyDelete
50+ old woman + menopause = ceiling fan!! Hate the look-love the air!ReplyDelete
love all the samples you posted. we have ceiling fans in almost every room and we LOVE them.ReplyDelete
Love this post and yes the ceiling fan in our bedroom runs 100% of the time! We have a 2 story house, but not dual zoned hvac so a fan is a definitely need, especially in the summer!ReplyDelete
i agree! i really love the air circulation that a fan puts out, but really don't like the way they look. why can't someone invent an attractive fan--or a fan that FEELS like a fan but is inside the ceiling? maybe one day...
I want to talk about headboards. All I see lately are upholstered ones. All of your photos had them. I like them, but I'm wondering if wood or metal ones are just totally out or what?ReplyDelete
i think that upholstered headboard happen to be really popular right now because they add some softness and texture to a room, but metal and wood ones will never be "out" in my opinion. things in interior design cycle through "fads", and one thing that people are loving rich now are upholstered headboards. plus---it IS a lot cozier and softer to have an upholstered headboard than a wood or metal one....Delete
Great pics!! I took all the ceiling fans out of my house except for my daughters room found a cool acrylic one a Lowes! We really need them upstairs--so much cooler with.ReplyDelete
an acrylic fan? ohh! that sounds incredible!Delete
I live in Louisiana, so most summer nights, and sometimes days, require a ceiling fan!ReplyDelete
I live in Texas in a two story house and we have ceiling fans in all the bedrooms. People who are not from here cannot imagine how hot it is still at night. They are a necessity.ReplyDelete
I have a love/hate relationship with our ceiling fan!!! LOL...We have to have a ceiling fan....it is a necessity since it gets so hot. OfReplyDelete
Oops! I wasn't done yet! LOL....As I was saying...if I were rich I wouldn't have one....I would have a gorgeous crystal chandelier instead! Oh to dream!
i think its pretty funny that SO many of us like to sleep with the fan on, but there are hardly any pictures of bedrooms in magazines without ceiling fans!
i guess people whose g=homes are featured in magazines don't sweat.
In Arizona during the summer it can still be 100 degrees even at 10pm at night. Fans in bedrooms are a MUST around here.
Great pictures!
We live in a house without air conditioning in the south and we couldn't do it without ceiling fans. I have felt somewhat apologetic for committing this design fauz pas. Thanks for validating them!
Since ceiling fan blades come in different sizes, it's imperative to know the right size of blades for the ceiling fan in your bedroom. If you have a large room, you can select a blade greater than 50 inches. Also, a ceiling fan that generates multiple speed options would be a best choice. It will provide you with the most comfortable sleeping environment.ReplyDelete

However, now, my computer will randomly restart. I get a loud sound out of the speakers and then it just restarts. It seems like it always happens when iTunes is running. It might have something to do with the internet too.
Any ideas?

text: Hi, I've had my new 15" 1.67GHz Powerbook for a couple of days now and I absolutely love it, apart from that annoying spinning beachball. When I startup I get the grey screen with the Apple logo, then the blue loading bar and then the desktop pattern with no dock or icons as per usual... This is where the beachball kicks in and spins for roughly 2 minutes and 30 seconds before loading the dock and icons. I've never encountered anything like this before, not even on my near-dead G3's. The only cause I can think of is the 1GB of RAM I installed last night, but I don't really want to go fiddling around with the RAM again, it was stressful enough installing it, I don't wanna have to repeat the process! So, does anyone have any idea's? I'm going to upgrade to 10.3.8 now, maybe that'll miraculously fix it. Cheers Tim. PS: What would happen if I were to "zap the PRAM"?

First mission we played was a D20 mission 'Save the scientists'. Basic overview, there are 4 scientists on the table who have been knocked out and you have to get them back to your deployment. Either by healing them and syncing with them or by tossing them over your shoulder and carrying them back to friendly territory. I was using vanilla Ariadna and Toby was using his QK Haq, so I expected Yuan Yuan's galore.
I tried to set the table up as even as I could. One side had more cover on high ground but the other had the tallest tower on the board, not to many open fire lanes and lots of sneaky routs to get about. I won the roll of and decided to go first. In a mission like this there is no point in going second as you don't need to hold any objectives or hold any ground. Just get the bodies and get the hell out out of there! I spread everything out as best I could and put a Cateran prone on the highest point I could get him into. On the other side I had my Grunt sniper watching over the entire board. I did kind of wonder if this was a good idea as I know Haq can take lots of cheap heavy weapons and would probably be able to out shoot me. Only other sneaky sneaky i had up my sleeve was a Chasseur who put a mine down next to one of the scientists and Uxia who I had kept in reserve. Toby then set up quite defensively, full link of kaplans hiding around the back of the board, 3 man Haris of Sekban and a total reaction remote on a roof with cover. I passed my Uxia roll on something like a 12 so instantly gave away what she was. Toby then put his Djanbazan on a roof looking right at her. I hate that model and people always take it :(
|That is %100 not my Lieutenant hiding on that roof with his sniper bro.
|These Hafza don't care about being hidden.
|you cant see in this photograph but Uxia is right behind that wall ready to take out the Sekban. The term"Get in the sea" comes to mind.
My first turn went quite well for me. I had lots of big scary things to get rid of so basically spent an entire order pool hunting the enemy. That's OK for me though as I take roughly 1,000 orders in each game. My Cateran popped out of his rubbish camo and took on the Sekban unit. Should have probably asked what they were equipped with as one had a heavy rocket launcher at B2 in ARO. it took about 3 face to face rolls before I finally took the guy down. Second order of business was to get rid of that Djanbazan. Again this was a face to face roll of. I moved my Cateran around a little. he was worse of with his amour but if the grunt had shot he could have been blasted to bits by the Total reaction remote, but the main reason was the Djanbazan was on a roof so if i had of killed him with normal shock sniper he might have got back up next turn and also been out of sight for me to shoot him when unconscious. But the Cateran had a T2 sniper so any hit killed him outright. Again I won this roll of but it did take about 3 or 4 orders to do so. After this I spent a few orders on my Chasseur and marauder who both waled up to nearest scientist and dragged them back towards the deployment. No way in hell I was going to risk trying to heal them and have them run home.
In Toby's first turn things went to shit a bit. With most of his ARO units gone he decided to push forward with his Kaplan link. they are a bit nasty, cheap ( ish ) and well equipped. how ever they are not true Haq citizens so lacked the will power . . . and ended up killing the doctor they were trying to save. With his other pool two Yuan Yuans walked on the other side of the board. They did all they could but were order starved. one managed to smoke his way up the table then jump out and chain rifle a few units. she took out my Grunt sniper but got blasted to bits by a loup Garou, Marauder, Cateran and Line kazak.
|I am jealous of this bot because I cant have one.
|I don't like this guy.
My turn two was quick. I dragged the scientist back a little so she was definitely in my deployment. that only took a few orders. then i did the same with the scientist that the marauder was carrying. knowing I had two and Toby had killed one I decided to blast him away. And this was not an understatement. I have recently started using the Spetsnaz with HMG and I can not stress enough how much of a beast this unit is. Seriously take it no matter what what. long story short he wondered up the table and blasted away a total reaction remote and pretty much an en tire link team by himself. Each time I used him he popped his head out, shot and then went back into camo. This may seem a little order intensive but he was the only hard hitting unit in his order pool so had 10 orders all to himself to get this job done. After this we decided to call it a game.
For game two we decided to go with some ITS so chose seize the antennas. simple enough mission three objectives laid out in a line and you have 3 VPs for each one you have in your control at the end of the game. this time I went with a more loose list and chose to run my Pan O. I knew Toby had a Pan O force and would know what most of my units were capable of as he probably has them as well.Toby went with his self titles "stomp list". He was still running QK but this list had Scar face and Cordelia in it. I took a Swiss Guard with HMG to dish out some paint and Croc man FO to get jobs done and my main ARO units were a total reaction HMG ( standard ) and Armand, who I don't really use that much as I think he is a little over priced on points for what he does.
Toby won the roll and decided he wanted to take second turn. This is normal what I want but It did mean he had to set up first so I could easily try and counter all his big stuff. This was all good with me as I wanted to go second and it also meant I did not have to set up first so win/win in my eyes. I kept my Swiss guard in reserve as he had no idea I was taking it and did not want to put it down and get spotted then out gunned in the first turn. Normally I would not care but the Dnjabazan sniper would have ruined his day. Toby put down a full link of Ghulams tooled to the nines. Missile launcher, HMG, doctor and FO all in one squad. They may be basic line troops but that scares me with all the link bonuses.
turn one I pushed forward. I don't feel as comfortable using Pan O as they way less orders as I am used to. First of I stood Armand up for some retarded reason and he got shot by a Djanbazan, Scarface, Ghulam missile launcher, Ghulam HMG and total reaction HMG . . . And survived! This was a really stupid move by my though so I got my Swiss guard out and pumped shot after shot after shot into his tag. I took about 5 orders but he was gone quick. I don't like tags very much. My Croc man revealed himself ( not in a perverted way ) and nabbed the main objective in the middle of the table. He had to do a few cautious moves to not get taken down by MSV2 sniper. After this he ran behind cover dropped a mine on the way and went back into camo, the sneaky bastard! Then with my last 2 orders my engineer ran forward and grabbed the objective closes to me. I had run out of orders by this point and he was left standing up ready to be shot at.
Toby's turn was a little more straight forward but effective none the less. He pushed forward with him link team slowly and managed to get into the middle of the table unhurt. His Ghulam tanked a shot from a Swiss Guard and a mine. Risk paid off as he managed to take back the main objective in the middle of the table and my Croc man was not going to get back to it with all the shotguns now staring him down.
My turn two was very uneventful. I moved my Sierra bot around the back of his link. It took a few orders as I needed to cautious move through doors to be able to fit into the buildings. All i did was take out one guy. Shooting him in the back made no difference as he has 6th sense but I had to try. After that my Swiss Guard took his reaction remote head on. This was way in my favor as I had surprise shot, TO and cover. I had the Croc man lay another mine then go into camo again just in case he wanted to push up the board. the mine would work as a slight speed bump and this might make a difference lat on in the game.
Toby's turn Two Went better. his Alguacil walked up to his nearest objective. he had left it un touched so he could grab it later on in the game with no stress. This worked well for him as nothing I had could stop it so that was all on him. At this point in the Game Toby had two of the three objectives. All he had to do was hunker down.
Mad love for the Croc man in this game. He absolutely bossed it in this round. One at a time he blasted the Ghulams away. the MSV2 sniper had move up the board to try lock down my Swiss guard. This gave my Croc man complete free reign to move about. with a bit of jiggery pokery he got right behind the enemy lines and nabbed both objectives. After this he put down two mines and went back into camo right on top of the objective. With him locking this down and the Swiss guard and Sierra total reaction bot having the main objective within line of site that was game over.
All in all a fun day was had. Toby challenged me again to a game on his table when he was less hung over. I wont be in S.t Albans for a while but when I am its on! Completely not Infinity related but someone at the club had a nice goblin force so took a couple of snaps.

I took a different road home for lunch today and saw a bulldog walking around the front of someone's yard and close to the road. It isn't a main road, it connects two big roads and is a very busy road for my neighborhood. I stopped to make sure he didn't get hit. At first he had this scared look and I didn't know if he would run or attack. He started wagging his tail (well the little nub) and come over to me. He was so friendly, kinda chubby, and had healthy skin for a bulldog. I knew he had to be someones pets, but there was no id tag. He and I walked up and down the road for 20 minutes trying to retrace his tracks in the snow and knocking on peoples doors to see if he was their's or knew whose he was. No luck. So, being a huge animal lover I brought him home. My 3 dogs were going crazy trying to get to him in the back yard. I posted a facebook and craigslist ad before having to head back to work. I seperated my dogs, put him in a kennel and left, hoping someone would see the ad and contact me. I had just left my house and was driving through the neighborhood and stopped this random guy walking his dog and asked if he knew anyone who had or was looking for a bulldog. He told me yes, and asked if I knew this person and said she was looking for someone else. It was my great aunt looking for my 2nd or 3rd cousin! My extended family lives all over my neighborhood! I was so excited. We rent our house from my aunt so she was able to go over and identify and return the dog!! I was so excited!!!
The best part, other than finding the owner, is when I checked my email to see if anyone had responded to my ad, I had to different organizations contact me with ways to help. They gave me places to post more ads, places that could check microchips, and one said that it would be helpful for me to keep the dog, but offered to do so until we found the owner. This has made me appreciate those people who do this full time and makes me feel so much better that there are good people in the world. Just some good news I wanted to share!!!

HERZILYA, ISRAEL— The city of Herzliya sits about ten miles north of Tel Aviv on Israel's breezy central Mediterranean coast. Often referred to as the "Silicon Valley of Israel," it's home to high-tech startups, palm tree-lined boulevards, a number of very decent bars, restaurants and beachside hangouts and, as I discovered soon after getting into my room at the Dan Accadia Hotel and checking the sea view, quite a few surfers. But for the road signs in Hebrew and Arabic, one could be forgiven for mistaking it for California.
It's also the home of the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Israel's first private university. Established in 1994, the IDC boasts some of the most advanced facilities in the country, including an ultra-modern library donated by, and named for, Marc Rich, the indicted commodities trader who was infamously pardoned by President Bill Clinton just before Clinton left office.
Since 2000, the IDC's Institute for Policy and Strategy has hosted what has become Israel's most prominent and important annual policy gathering, the Herzliya Conference. The four-day forum brings together a decidedly conservative-leaning contingent of politicians, policymakers and analysts—overwhelmingly made up of Israelis and Americans, but with a sprinkling of other flavors—to discuss the main security challenges faced by the Jewish state.
The conference is no modest affair. Registration for non-Israelis can run up to $5,000. Organizations are asked to pay upwards of $50,000 to sponsor discussion panels. In addition to the public events, there are invite-only roundtable discussions—held under the Chatham House rule that prohibits publicly identifying any fellow participants—which reportedly can get a bit heated. In the conference's lobby, people huddled around coffee tables with very serious looks, obviously discussing matters of great import. In the conference's dining hall, former and current Israeli and US officials schmoozed over chicken and noodles fired at stir-fry stations around the room. The Washington Institute for Near East Policy's David Makovsky has called Herzliya "the Davos for Middle East wonks." An Israeli friend put it differently: "Neocon Woodstock."
But instead of a lot of young naked people frolicking under the influence of LSD, the Herzliya Conference has a lot of middle-aged nerdy people fretting over the influence of IRGC (the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps). Less good vibrations, more clash of civilizations. As at Woodstock, there's also a mood of mutual congratulation, a belief among the participants that they are the enlightened. "Herzliya is the place where the neocons get together to pat themselves on the back about being right about everything," says Gershon Baskin, who leads the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information. "That's the mentality. They are right and everyone else just doesn't get it." It's probably not correct to say that Herzliya is where a lot of big decisions are made. But it's a place where relationships that can shape those decisions are created and renewed.

This month, the World Economic Forum and mHealth Alliance presented a report called "Amplifying the Impact: Examining the Intersection of Mobile Health and Mobile Finance." The paper focuses on how mobile technology and communication can positively impact the spheres of health and finance. As the report points out, more people now have access to mobile phones than have access to clean water- clearly the pervasive nature of this technology is staggering and the potential opportunities in terms of access to health education and care are well worth examining.
The report specifically singles out Maternal Health as an example of the potential applications of mobile health technology. Maternal health care is broken into four main categories:Pre-Pregnancy, Pregnancy, Birth, Post-Natal, and applications for mobil health and financial services are discussed at each stage. For example, in the pre-pregancy phase, women could receive education on preventing STDs or family planning. In the post-natal phase, direct mobile payments could be triggered via mobile phone for child health services such as immunizations.
Really, a very interesting read on using available techonologies to solve major health issues world-wide.

Repo Men (2010)
Interesting Concept!
2.5/4 stars
In the future humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called "The Union". The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don't pay your bill, "The Union" sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property... often killing the victim.
It is a world human life cheap, death is profit and as long as their payment is not delivered, they are forced to donate their organ back to the labs for another buyer who has the money. Former soldier Remy is one of the best artificial organ repossession guy but when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company's top-of-the-line heart-replacement... as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that he grows a conscience and our protagonist finds that his heart's no longer in the job - literally.
When he can't make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy's former partner Jake, to track him down. Forest Whitaker and Liev Schreiber play unrepentant villains and they milk their roles for every ounce of villainy that they can muster.
"Repo Men" is a darkly-themed satire that never takes itself seriously and the gory scenes are certainly memorable.

A touch of pink
An odd decision in some respects, as it's as clingy as you like and only serves to underline my current need for radishes (then again, that's no bad thing!) - but peeking out from underneath the navy it brightened everything up a bit.
Cardigan - Zara
T shirt - Joules
Navy cords - Tesco
Black patent flats - Autograph M&S
In other news, I have decided some wedge shoe -boots would be a useful addition. I was considering these from Boden.
However, following Kat's post the other day on 'Does my bum look 40 in this?' - I'm now planning to try the Primark version (Good old Primark!) - at least £100 cheaper, can't go wrong really. Well - I say that - but there is a potential sting in the tail.... I am working tomorrow (boo), husband is not (double boo). Hence he has been assigned the task to go to a Primark and buy them. A curious mixture of danger and comedy I feel!
Watch this space for a report back on what he actually comes home with :-D
4 comments:
I can't believe you can despatch your husband to go in to Primark and buy you some boots? I'd never hear the end of it! I haven't paid too much attention to the shoe boots in Primark when I popped past - I think I need to do a reccy just to check these out. I don't want any - not quite me - but I've got to see what the fuss is all about!ReplyDeleteReplies
Haha - he's quite well trained now!!Delete
Will report back with pictures if he manages to get the right article.
Hilarious! Can't even imagine sending the OH to Primark to buy me boots. Will be dying to see what he comes home with :)ReplyDelete
My husband always picks up my Chanel nail polishes in London but as for Boots, I wouldn't trust him at all!ReplyDelete
Please feel free to leave a comment. I love hearing your thoughts, and will reply to as many as I can :-)

Microsoft Malaysia recently launched "The Spark of Transformation", a collaborative partnership with the Malaysian government to empower local youth to realise their full potential by connecting them with greater education, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities. These new initiatives, launched in collaboration with Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC), are aimed at closing the digital divide in Malaysia, as well as transforming the way people work and communicate.
The Spark of Transformation partnership was announced during a closed-door International Advisory Panel (IAP) Meeting between Malaysian Prime Minister Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak and Microsoft Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie.
The three main components of the partnership are:
- MY-Backpack, which provides children aged 7 to 17 with a "virtual backpack" of cloud-based digital tools powered by Microsoft® Office 365TM for educational purposes;
- The National Digital Literacy programme for young people aged between 17 and 19; and
- The MY-YouthSpark partnership to provide information and communication technology (ICT) training to improve employability of young adults, aged 19 to 24, and living in underserved, rural communities.
"Malaysia is one of the shining beacons of the Asia Pacific region, and should continue to prioritise ICT to accelerate the country's transformation into a knowledge-driven economy. The Spark of Transformation initiatives are designed to support the development of a robust education system in Malaysia. The partnership is aligned to Microsoft's commitment to transform the country together with the Malaysian government, especially in the areas of education, business and lives," said Anath Lazarus, past Managing Director, Microsoft Malaysia.
Some of the key issues discussed during the IAP Meeting included harnessing the power of ICT to raise work productivity, and how Microsoft can further support the Malaysian government's efforts to equip the local workforce with basic computer literacy, workgroup computing and Internet skills.
Mr Mundie said, "Globally, Microsoft is committed to helping close the digital divide by creating new products and programmes that will bring sustained opportunities to people who are not yet realising the benefits of technology. Microsoft will continue to work with our partners to address the disparities in productivity and employment, and the pockets of marginalisation in urban areas and rural communities through the different Spark programmes, including YouthSpark."

Joe Battipaglia, chief investment officer for Ryan Beck & Co., told CNBC's "Squawk Box" that the U.S. economy is about to contract, undercutting stock valuations.
"What disturbs me now is that the run rate on new household debt formation is actually declining rather dramatically," he said Thursday. "That typically precedes recessions. Four out of the last five were accompanied by an inverted yield curve, which we already have, and the decline in net new household debt. These conditions are now presenting to us in 2007, which means the economy may be weaker than expected at a time when the Federal Reserve cannot take their eye off the inflation fight -- and that puts them behind the curve once again."
He said the growing weakness in consumer spending can be seen in the housing market, autos and slowing retail sales.
"How much longer can profits stay up?" Battipaglia said. "I think that whole profit story is looking in the rearview mirror."
Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank, said "big liquidity" flowing into the economy from U.S. trading partners keeps interest rates low. "My sense is that the overall tide of big liquidity will continue to push markets higher," Ablin said.

JOHN LUESSENHOP (Director) made a splash this past summer when his stylish action film TAKERS, produced and released by Sony Screen Gems, which opened #1 at the US box office. Upon its video release, Takers followed its box office success by topping the US charts for sales, rentals and video-on-demand purchases.
Mr. Luessenhop made his directorial debut in the world of feature films with LOCKDOWN, an independently produced urban prison drama acquired and distributed by Columbia Home Entertainment.

It also premiered internationally at the Toronto Film Festival.
A native of McLean, Virginia, and an alumnus of the University of Virginia and Georgetown Law School, Mr. Luessenhop began his film career by writing and directing the hard-edged 33-minute featurette TICK... TICK... TICK... , which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to win Best Short Film at Universal's Florida Film Festival.
Because of his gritty style, Luessenhop has directed more than twenty episodes of AMERICA'S MOST WANTED, including two national cop-of-the-year stories.
Prior to making the leap to writing and directing, Mr. Leussenhop was a successful Wall Street attorney. He currently resides in Santa Monica, California with his wife Catherine and three sons.

text: Here's what I'm thinking. There are like 1000 skilled members here, on BHW who are particularly proficient in one area or another, but probably struggle in other areas. For example, two members are formidable niche researchers and have access to all the tools they need, but suck at e-mail marketing, whereas there are 7 other members who used to do e-mail marketing for some big enterprise, but they know only little about WP programming. The point is we can JV only with our skills and means, but we can do it together, all of us. Someone who previously had leadership skills can pull a whole project like this together. The math is, we rack up a large number of skilled members. For 1000 members to get $1000/mo. means all of us must work towards the $1,000,000/mo. Someone here definitely is trusted enough, and has the means to control this sum every month. Let's say this would be a list of requirements, for 100 members (regardless of the skills), we're going to do this the "play-a-tycoon" way: Target: 25 websites to make $4000 / month Niche/Microniche: who's a good, trusted niche researcher, all members can make suggestions SEO: 5 for back-linking, 2 for traffic, whoever else can help on this Marketing: whoever can do offline / online Social / Other means: again, whoever is also proficient on this one Design: 5 dark-hat professional designers to get them done by tomorrow (including me), one of the marketers maybe Programming: I'm also good on this one, whoever else is Management / Money: accounting skills anyone? Security and Trust: BHW admin & mods (I don't think we can trust anyone else) can hold the all the account and send the money to the right place. Investors: none. We're only putting our skills and means on the table Profit sharing: equally to anyone. We're all doing our part here and what the particular skill is should not matter. Gears should be as equally as important. List is incomplete, but I want to know what you think about this. Please review, discuss and let the others know what your thoughts are. Thank you. Draft below. Correct it if it's too lame.

Hinsdale – The Hinsdale Hospital Foundation's 2011 Medallion Ball raised more than $150,000 for Adventist Hinsdale Hospital's new patient tower. The event, which took place Feb. 5 at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, included a live and paddle auction. More than 400 guests attended.
At the event, community leaders were recognized for their leadership and unwavering support of the hospital. The Hinsdale Assembly was honored with the Community Leadership Medallion and Dr. Richard Bulger received the Physician Leadership Medallion. Centennial Medallion recipients are medical staff and community leaders who are committed to the mission, vision and values of Adventist Hinsdale Hospital and who support of the hospital through their time and gifts. The medallions were created in 2004 to commemorate the hospital's centennial year.
"On a daily basis, the Hinsdale Assembly and Dr. Bulger live our hospital's mission of extending the healing ministry of Christ," said Susan King, executive director of the Hinsdale Hospital Foundation. "We are thankful for their service to the community."
For 48 years The Hinsdale Assembly has generously funded a variety of programs and services at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital. From cutting-edge cobalt therapy machine to digital mammography equipment, the Assembly's philanthropy has advanced the hospital's technological expertise. The Hinsdale Assembly also has helped sustain the spiritual side of the hospital's healing mission with the redesigned Hinsdale Assembly Wellness Garden. The garden, which opened in 2009, provides respite to hospital patients, visitors and staff.
Bulger, a specialist in otolaryngology and Hinsdale resident, has been a member of Adventist Hinsdale Hospital's medical staff for nearly four decades and has served in many leadership roles, including medical staff president and surgery department chairman. He also has served on the Hinsdale Hospital Foundation's Board of Directors and received the 2010 Physician Stewardship Award from Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, Adventist Hinsdale Hospital's sister hospital.
Bulger earned his medical degree from the University of Illinois in 1967 and joined the Adventist Hinsdale Hospital medical staff in 1972. He also served as an adjunct attending physician at Rush University Medical Center, including a faculty appointment, and has been an active and attending physician at several local community hospitals. He is past president of DuPage County Medical Society, a past delegate and trustee to the Illinois State Medical Society, and a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
"The Medallion Ball is a chance for the community to celebrate Adventist Hinsdale Hospital and for the hospital's supporters, in turn, to celebrate the community," said Sue Pircon, of Hinsdale, who served as event co-chair with her husband, Ron Pircon.
"This is an exciting time not only for Adventist Hinsdale Hospital but for the entire Hinsdale community," added Betsy Moran, who also served as event co-chair with her husband, Dr. Brian Moran. "The Hinsdale Hospital Foundation is proud to be part of it."
Proceeds from the event will benefit Adventist Hinsdale Hospital's patient pavilion project. The new pavilion, scheduled to open in early 2012, will feature private patient rooms and many home-like amenities. Other improvements include newly-designed patient units that bring caregivers closer to the bedside with modern workstations and corridors. There will be a new critical care unit and surgical services department, plus a bright and spacious lobby and a new chapel.
"This patient pavilion project is going to transform the way we treat patients, creating a 21st century healthcare environment that will meet our community's needs for years to come," said David L. Crane, president and chief executive officer of Adventist Hinsdale Hospital. "We're grateful for the support of the Hinsdale Hospital Foundation."
Adventist Midwest Health includes Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, Adventist GlenOaks Hospital, Adventist Hinsdale Hospital and Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital. To find a physician, visit www.keepingyouwell.com.

Notebook of Doom
So, Saturday night, we went to a baseball game, as one does.
(Before that, we went to dinner, as one does. To Medium Rare, which serves bread, salad, steak frites, and that's it. And we had a fantastic dinner — better than I'd expected, with perfect, salty, crisp frites that complemented the steak perfectly!)
Anyway, we went to a baseball game. And the Nationals knocked around the Brewers pitcher pretty badly in the first inning, so the game had a pretty relaxed, easy-going feel. And about halfway through the fifth inning, I all of a sudden realized that I didn't need to write the next scene in CENTER STAGE, because it was boring and talk-y and didn't tell the reader anything the reader didn't already know.
But I *did* need to add a scene with a direct confrontation between two major characters, one where one guy says, "Do this and there'll be Consequence X" and the other guy says, "I'm doing this, so get your consequences ready."
Being an author, even an author at a baseball game, I had a notebook with me. So I took out my pen and I scribbled away at a full page of dialog, using the extensive abbreviation scheme that I created in law school, so that I could transcribe hours of notes on Commercial Paper and other classes that left me clueless.
Today, I'll be writing up that scene. And I have the cheerful feeling that it's already half done. It's almost like I get to spend the day editing instead of writing! Yay, yay, yay.
And the Nats won.
And I spent yesterday at the Washington Romance Writers summer barbecue, chatting with friends, eating a killer chocolate cake I had no business enjoying as much as I did, and having a grand time away from the computer.
So, today is pretty much perfect 🙂
How about you? Did you have a good weekend?

Garza scheduled to pitch for Cougars Friday
Cubs pitcher Matt Garza will make his first rehab start Friday for the Kane County Cougars.
The Cougars host the Quad City River Bandits at 6:30 p.m. at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva. Tickets are available by calling (630) 232-8811 or at kccougars.com.
Garza is on the mend from a left lat muscle injury, suffered early in spring training. He likely will pitch only 2 innings as he builds up pitching stamina.
It won't be the first time Garza has pitched in the Midwest League. A portion of Garza's first professional season in 2005 took place in the Midwest League when he pitched for Beloit, a Minnesota Twins affiliate at the time.
Garza was placed on the disabled list during spring training with a left lat strain and has yet to appear in a major league game this season.
The right-hander has spent three seasons with the Cubs and has won 57 games during his major league career, which began in 2006 when Garza made the jump from Class A to the major leagues with Minnesota.
In 2010, Garza threw the first no-hitter in Tampa Bay Rays history and won 15 games that season. Garza went 5-7 for the Cubs last year after going 10-10 in 2011.
The Cougars are 4-7 in their first year as a Cubs affiliate after splitting a doubleheader Tuesday night at Beloit.

SINGAPORE - Dresses took centre stage at the start of Singapore Fashion Week as Diane von Furstenberg kicked off the five-day event that mixes top international designers and local emerging names.
Furstenberg, known for her signature wrap dress, showcased her Autumn/Winter 2015 "Seduction" collection, which she said was partly Asian-inspired.
Models wore red patterned dresses and dark-coloured knits for the line, first shown in New York in February.
Furstenberg also heads the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), an industry group which has teamed up with the annual fashion event to help nurture local designers and showcase their work abroad.
"Singapore is such a dynamic city ... and it has so much excitement," she said backstage on Wednesday night.
Singapore Fashion Week, previously known as the Audi Fashion Festival Singapore, promises a star-studded line-up including Hollywood actress Cate Blanchett and singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham, who will close the event.
"We're at the centre of Asia, we're sort of the gateway between East and West," Singapore Fashion Week creator Tjin Lee said. "I really believe that Singapore can be the hub, that fashion capital, that people from around the world gather where they find the best of Asian designers."
CFDA Chief Executive Steven Kolb said the organisation planned to bring some local designers to New York in June. "There's a nice group of talent and it's worth developing, it's worth looking at more closely," he said.
"(For) a designer showing during Singapore Fashion Week, the opportunity is endless because it is so close to China and throughout Asia, and that really is the new market ... where one can be successful and have a very broad customer base."
Singapore Fashion Week runs until May 17.

Home Insurance. Thursday , March 01st , 2018 - 11:39:42 AM
But even with eye-opening photos of these disasters populating our phones, computer screens and newspapers, there still seems to be a sense of complacency among consumers when it comes to taking action to ensure they are properly covered in the event a natural disaster hits their own home. Given the prevalence of natural disasters in 2017, Clearsurance published a report after surveying 1,000 participants to learn if they have taken any steps in the last six months to uncover possible insurance gaps.
Some insurers might not include wildfires as a "covered peril" in areas that are prone to repeated wildfires. If you live in a state where wildfires are more common, your homeowners premium will most likely reflect that increased risk.
By grading your yard, you'll have leveled out any problem areas, making it easier to add features like a swimming pool or fire pit. These types of projects add value to your home, especially if the houses around you already have these features. Give it a thought and maybe add this kind of renovation to the plans you have for your house when you save enough money one day.

In our experience this reputation is well deserved because as well as winning numerous awards for their cases and PSUs on our site we have also used a number of their retail products in our own systems with great success. In fact one system we built 6 or so years ago, which is still active to this day, contains a TruePower series PSU and another with a Neo PSU which is 4 years old still works without issue. With positive experiences like those we are always keen to see the latest products they have to offer and that's exactly what we are doing today. Running on our test bench today we have one of Antec's latest PSU's a 900w model from their new High Current Gamer range. This is a product designed to offer high current, efficiency and excellent cooling so let's see what Antec's latest SLI and CrossFire certified range can do. Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Share On

Center for Research on Retirement Readiness
This program examines issues that are of relevance to the retirement income security of American workers.
The primary focus of this program is the EBRI-ERF Retirement Security Projection Model.® It is based on results from the EBRI/ICI Participant-Directed Retirement Plan Data Collection Project as well as a time series of several hundred plan descriptions used to provide a sample of the various defined benefit and defined contribution plan provisions applicable to plan participants. In addition, several public surveys based on participants' self-reported answers (SCF, CPS, and SIPP) were used to model participation, wages, and initial account balance information.
The model currently estimates the balance of any defined contribution plan and/or IRA (whether through regular contributions or rollovers) of the individual at Social Security normal retirement age. In addition, it estimates the accrued benefits earned and assumed to be retained by defined benefit plan participants.
This model proved to be extremely valuable during February 2002, as we were asked on two separate occasions to perform virtually instantaneous analysis of different "what-if" scenarios concerning company stock. In the first situation, the House Education and Workforce Subcommittee on Employer-Employee Relations requested that we model the expected results of removing company stock from 401(k) investment portfolios. Prior to that time, several testimonies had focused on the additional volatility associated with company stock, but none had focused on the differential asset allocation resulting from nonparticipant-directed contributions and its impact on expected rates of return. We were able to demonstrate that, while indeed the retention of company stock increases volatility (vis-à-vis a situation in which it would be removed), average 401(k) balances would be expected to be 4.0−7.8 per-cent larger, on average, if it were retained.
In the second situation, we were asked to comment on a proposal that would in essence either mandate a minimum guaranteed rate of return for 401(k) plans and/or expand PBGC coverage to these plans. We were able to use the model to estimate the impact within a day and present the results at the House Ways and Means hearing.
In the summer of 2003, we were asked to provide congressional testimony with respect to the relative advantages of defined benefit plans. Again, we were able to provide virtually instant turnaround and use the model to predict the impact of mandatory group annuitization on the decline in retirees' accumulation of deficits (vis-à-vis the status quo of allowing retirees to spend down their distributions as they desire). In January 2004, we were asked to use the newest results from the model to testify before the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging hearing: "Retirement Planning: Do We Have A Crisis In America?" The results were also picked up in the New York Times April 13 special supplement on retirement.
The May 2004 Issue Brief launched the first set of national results from the EBRI-ERF Retirement Security Projection Model® to model the impact of various policy scenarios with respect to defined benefit promises. The results from this model served as the focus of the discussion of the May 6 policy forum, "ERISA at 30: The Decline of Private-Sector Defined Benefit Promises and Annuity Payments: What Will It Mean?"
In March 2005, the model was used to present preliminary results of the impact of purchasing long-term care insurance at a session at the 2005 Joint Conference of the American Society on Aging and the National Council on the Aging.
In the March 2006 Issue Brief, we used this model to analyze the impact on employees of freezing a defined benefit plan. It was published within days of GM's announcement of its intention to freeze its defined benefit plan. The timeliness of the Issue Brief resulted in significant press coverage, including articles in the Washington Post and CNN as well as a previous article in the New York Times.
The September 2006 Issue Brief highlighted initial results of Ballpark E$timate® Monte Carlo—a free online tool that we plan to release as a companion to the existing interactive version of Ballpark E$timate.® One of the problems with many of the planning models for the accumulation period (including the current version of Ballpark E$timate®) is that the user is asked for a replacement rate. While this no doubt serves as a useful threshold for some situations, the ability of a replacement rate to allow an individual to determine whether there will be sufficient resources to provide "adequate" retirement income at least a certain percentage of the time is becoming increasingly problematic as investment risk, longevity risk, and the financial consequences of potentially catastrophic health care episodes continue to be shifted to individuals. This Issue Brief illustrates the problematic nature of using conventional replacement rates for retirement planning through a "building block" approach that walks the reader through the development of the model one step at a time. It shows in certain stylized situations how much would be needed in terms of a replacement rate to have adequate retirement income 50, 75, and 90 percent of the time. The results suggest that, in reality, there is no "correct" single replacement rate. Even at a specified probability of success, an "adequate" replacement rate depends dramatically on the level of retirement expenditures, retirement age, gender, asset allocation, percentage of annuitization, and other variables detailed in this Issue Brief.
EBRI-ERF Retirement Security Projection Model®
The Retirement Security Projection Model® was used to model the expected retirement income derived from Social Security and retirement plans for residents of the state of Oregon. The analysis was conducted for birth cohorts from 1936−1965, and results were broken out by gender and family status. The projected income was compared with expected housing costs plus one of three measures of health-related expenditures to perform a simplified version of retirement income adequacy. The percentages of family units having insufficient "retirement income" to meet these retiree expenditures were simulated, and the aggregate shortfall in the first year of retirement was calculated.
We presented the results of the Oregon project at three Retirement Study Group meetings in November 2001, and appeared to generate interest on the part of several states both to participate and to provide state-specific data to allow us to make better estimates of retiree health-related expenditures (such as long-term care). We were able to secure more extensive data on retiree expenditures from the state of Kansas, and used them to develop a hybrid model for analyzing retiree expenditures: stochastic for some expenditures (e.g., home health care and nursing facilities) and deterministic for others (e.g., housing and food). We finished the Kansas project in July 2002 and completed a similar project with the state of Massachusetts in December 2002. These state-specific results were used as a foundation for the December 2002 policy forum.
We expanded the retirement income assessment model from a state-specific analysis to one of national scope. We published the preliminary results of this model as a November 2003 Issue Brief and used it as a centerpiece for the December policy forum.
In 2004, we modified the model to allow us to run sensitivity analyses on the following:
- Benefit accrual freezes for defined benefit plans.
- Modification to cash balance plans (both increases in conversions of traditional final average plans and elimination of existing plans).
- Lump-sum distributions (assuming that they are offered to all defined benefit plan participants at retirement and that they are always chosen).
- Payment of all accumulations as life annuities from all qualified plans and IRAs.
The results were written up as part of the May 2004 Issue Brief and presented at the May 2004 policy forum. In March 2005, the model was used to present preliminary results of the impact of purchasing long-term care insurance at a session at the 2005 Joint Conference of the American Society on Aging and the National Council on the Aging.
In 2006, we modified the program to allow for the type of pension freeze computations mentioned above. RSPM was significantly enhanced for the May 2008 EBRI policy forum by allowing automatic enrollment of 401(k) participants with the potential for automatic escalation of contributions to be included. Additional modifications were added in 2009 for a Pension Research Council presentation that involved a winners/losers analysis of defined benefit freezes and the enhanced defined contribution employer contributions provided as a quid pro quo. A new subroutine was added to the model to allow simulations of various styles of target-date funds for a comparison with participant-directed investments in 2009. Most recently, the model was completely reparameterized with 401(k) plan design parameters for sponsors that have adopted automatic enrollment provisions and the results published in the April 2010 EBRI Issue Brief.
The EBRI Retirement Readiness Rating,™ as well as other results in the July 2010 Issue Brief, are based on an updated version of RSPM. The model has been completely revamped since the original 2003 model to account for the trends toward automatic enrollment in 401(k) plans, automatic escalation of contributions, and the increased utilization of target-date funds (TDFs) whether through qualified default investment accounts (QDIAs) or through participant directed investments.

More than 110,000 people have signed a petition to remove Mary Jo White as chairwoman of the Securities and Exchange Commission because she is too close to Wall Street to regulate it effectively, progressive group Credo said in a release.
The number of signatures gathered to replace a regulator who is relatively unknown outside Washington, D.C., policy circles is "pretty astounding, for something that wonky," Credo's political director, Becky Bond, told HuffPost. For comparison, she noted that the campaign to draft the much more visible U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) to run for president, gathered 365,000 signatures.
A June 16 report from Rootstrikers, a campaign finance reform group, criticized White for being to close to the financial firms that she used to represent as a corporate attorney.

Since drinking-and-driving is already a no-no, two-time DUI loser Councilman Zack Reed feels qualified to lead the effort to ban another menace to motorists: driving while texting.
Call it Zack's Law, if you're so inclined. That's what he would want. After mostly favorable discussion Wednesday morning at Council's Public Safety Committee meeting, Reed told Vice Chairwoman Dona Brady of Ward 19 that there's no reason why the legislation — urging state officials to pass an outright ban and for city cops to start ticketing motorists now — couldn't be put up for a vote next Monday … "my birthday," Reed reminded his non-Facebooking colleagues. Brady told Reed that Council's Legislative and Finance committees would have to meet on the matter first, so don't count on it.
Reed no doubt was hoping to get the new law on the books in time to announce his campaign to run against a fellow incumbent later this year, now that Council President Martin Sweeney's redistricting plan has chopped Reed's Mt. Pleasant and Brian Cummin's Old Brooklyn into Braunswager. But he'll have to let the process — honey-slow for minority-camp dissenters — drip by.
It looks like it's heading for passage, if that makes him feel any better. Eight states have already banned texting at the wheel, noted Safety Director Martin Flask, five of which have outlawed all cell phone use at the wheel. The penalties: $100 for the first offense; $250 for the second; and up to $500 for each successive violation.
"This device right here," said Reed, flashing his cell phone around, "is actually killing people." He noted how 2,600 people died in one recent year due to cell phone use while driving, and 330,000 were injured. And Flask expanded on that. "Surely it happens far more frequently than we can estimate," he said.
Though apparently supportive of the effort, Councilman Kevin Conwell, chairman of the committee, asked how an officer could tell if a driver is texting and not just dialing a number for a cell phone call. Reed didn't have an answer: "That's the reason there's has to be a state ban on all of it."
Collinwood Councilman Mike Polensek wondered aloud how this did anything to make Cleveland a better place to live. "I'd rather hoodlums be texting each other and not robbing each other on the street." Um, yeah.
But Reed emphasized how many of the text-loving youngsters causing troubles in his ward use texts to facilitate easier ground shipments. "There's certainly situations where you know something funny is happening," he said, "and it gives [police] the chance to go and subpoena these phone records. It's a tool to be able to charge them with something even more."
A-ha. Meanwhile, Councilman Joe Santiago spent at least 20 minutes buried to his neck in his own cell phone during the meeting. Any cop, from any distance, could have seen that he was texting.
But at least he wasn't at the wheel this time. Santiago, who added his name as a co-sponsor at the meeting, had just told the tale of how he had road-tested the texting-and-driving issue just the other day.
"I compare texting-and-driving to being a drunk driver," said Santiago, trying (but failing) not to shift his eyes to Reed for a second. "I tried doing it and wound up in the other lane."
That would be called the Fast Lane, sure to make you lose your mind. — Dan Harkins

In which country was Hip Hop originated?
In which country was Hip Hop originated?
1 answer
Hip Hop is said to have originated on the streets of New York and New Jersey, by the Afro American clan, borne out of break dancing, popping and locking of the body, in the 1960's and 70's.
The theory behind the evolution of Hip Hop being that, kids had developed this form of dance to challenge each other instead of fighting. Whoever won the dance was said to have won the fight thus helping the kids to vent out their frustrations against each other.
Hip Hop is considered to be one of the most spontaneous dances where expression and impression both are portrayed by the dancer through body language and movements.
