You've probably heard of Stephen Covey and his bestseller
Earl Campbell Titans Jersey
, "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". While his 7+1 habits (the 8th released quite recently) are good on their own, I have taken the liberty to take 5 principles from another time tested system, tested their validity on other existing success stories and evolved them to universally apply to this day and age.
These are universal and timeless principles, and brutal truths that do justice to those of us who crave to go beyond knowledge to wisdom and finally find and ultimately fulfill a grand self-defined purpose in life.
Without further ado, here are the top 5 theoretical principles of success:
1) Truth
Live, breathe, speak and act by the Truth. Instead of living your life by the standards of something you had never understood, be true to yourself (a common phrase usually meant to tell people to follow their whimsical desires) and only think, say or do those things that you truly
Eric Decker Titans Jersey
, deeply mean.
This above all To thine own self be true
At the same time, always seek the Truth behind any and every matter, situation or circumstance. Do not be swayed by appearances or facades. Do not allow your most important decisions in life be influenced by conclusions that you had come to without rigorous investigation and validation.
What is the reality behind this situation? What is the truth of the circumstance? What is realistically my place in this scheme of things? What can I really influence? What is outside my control? What had truly caused me to be in this place and time?
2) Justice
Justice means a certain sense of harmony or fairness. Fairness does not necessarily equate with absolute equality. Justice means placing the right things at the right places. Just as you should be fair to others, you must be fair to yourself. Why should you deprive yourself of the right to fairness? Why should you be a martyr for others who may not want to appreciate you?
More importantly, just because someone or a number of people had treated you unfairly or short-changed you before, you should not do the same to others, not even to those who had offended you. Justice also comes about as a natural extension of awareness of the truth.
3) Knowledge
Gain whatever knowledge is relevant and required of you at any moment. The first step to realizing the truth is to first gain knowledge about matters you are currently dealing with.
Get the right knowledge from the right sources in whatever it is you are pursuing. Usually the best sources of specific knowledge are those who have successfully done before what you are seeking to now do.
4) Wisdom
You need to translate what knowledge you have into wisdom and the only way to do that is to practically apply the knowledge you have and gauge for yourself the details, nuances, personal evolutions and permutations that best suit you.
You can also gain wisdom from those who have successfully applied the knowledge you are exploring
Jonnu Smith Titans Jersey
, and getting them to guide you,lead you or mentor you. Here, the wisdom of humility is apparent in becoming a student to these wise teachers and they can be anybody or come in the guise of any vocation.
5) Purpose
Ultimately, all the values and principles up to this point have existed to serve the purpose of having a purpose. The 5 principles are listed not in any order of ascending or descending importance, but the principle of purpose can be said to be the overall overarching principle that encompasses the rest, made up of the rest of the parts, existent in all the other parts, at the same time. Purpose here apparently means having a purpose for your life, however you choose to define it.
You should take as much time as possible to define your purpose
Taywan Taylor Titans Jersey
, constantly evolving it to suit current situations. The ultimate, universal end purpose of all humanity is to live a life good enough to warrant a sense of satisfaction and peace with oneself before death.
Think of death, not as something that haunts or looms over your life, but as an excuse to have a grand unifying purpose that satisfies you philosophically, emotionally and psychologically, as an excuse to make the best use of the time you have to live.
There you go. The 5 theoretical principles of success that are universal and timeless. The above pointers cannot do enough justice to the depth and scope of the principles, even extensive essays or books cannot achieve that. But only when you truly understand these principles will you be able to take full control of your life and ultimately your success.

What is a result of major investments along with very hard work? The answer is successful venue rental and event consulting business growth. If you are not constantly growing your venue rental company will not show profit in the future. Here are some excellent suggestions that you can implement so your business will continue to grow.

Adoree' Jackson Titans Jersey
, you will get the reputation of being untrustworthy, which will be a disaster for your business. Gain respect by earning trust and the profits will come.
As your venue rental and event consulting business grows, the need for a Disaster Recovery plan becomes increasingly significant. Every minute your business is prevented from operations is a potential loss in revenue.

New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori won the toss and put England into bat in the fourth one-day cricket international here Wednesday.
Although the McLean Park pitch traditionally suits the team that bats first, Vettori said New Zealand prefer to chase runs.
New Zealand lead the series 2-1. Following two victories, they lost the third game in Auckland last Friday when they lost the toss and were sent into bat.
A win to New Zealand here would give them the series while England need a victory to stay alive going into the fifth and final match in Christchurch on Saturday.
England have kept the same 11 who won the third match, while the one change in the New Zealand team sees bowler Iain O'Brien in for all-rounder Paul Hitchcock.
The match starts at 11:00 pm (2200 GMT Tuesday) with fine weather forecast throughout the day.
New Zealand: Daniel Vettori (captain), Brendon McCullum, Jesse Ryder, Peter Fulton, Jamie How, Ross Taylor, Scott Styris, Jacob Oram, Kyle Mills, Chris Martin, Iain O'Brien.
England: Paul Collingwood (captain), Phil Mustard, Alastair Cook, Luke Wright, Ian Bell, Kevin Pietersen, Owais Shah, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Stuart Broad, Ryan Sidebottom, James Anderson.
Umpires: Asad Rauf (PAK), Billy Bowden (NZL)
Match referee: Alan Hurst (AUS)
New Zealand win toss, field first against England
New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori won the toss and put England into bat in the fourth one-day cricket international here Wednesday.

Conyers, Russia, wildfires: 5 things that happened Tuesday
Looking to get caught up on the news, fast? Here are five things that happened Tuesday, covered by the Sinclair stations you trust every day.
1. Conyers steps down after allegations
U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., announced his retirement after a growing number of former staffers accused him of sexual misconduct.
2. International Olympic Committee bans Russia
The International Olympic Committee announced it will not allow Russians to participate in the 2018 games while representing their native land after revelations that the country orchestrated doping in 2014.
The athletes may still compete; however, they must do so as "neutral athletes."
3. Southern California wildfires consume acres
Fanned by winds, explosive wildfires raced across thousands of acres of California land, forcing the evacuation of more than 30,000.
4. Supreme Court hears cake case
The U.S. Supreme Court weighed whether a Colorado baker should be allowed to decline to bake a cake for a same-sex couple because it goes against his religious beliefs.
5. Family files Air Force claims
One month after a gunman opened fire inside a Texas church, the family of four of the victims has filed claims against the Air Force.
The agency failed to report the shooter's violent history, an oversight which allowed him to purchase the gun used to commit the murders.

Cats are threaded through the whole of Harry Potter, it's a wonderful thing to see – maybe that's one of the reason I feel so at home in that universe? Although, in researching for this article, I discovered the not-so-secret secret that JK Rowling is allergic to cats, and doesn't like to be in the same room with them for too long. She isn't particularly fond of them, either.
However, she's very fair: the first book tells us nearly everything about cats that JK Rowling wants us to know, and that is that cats are almost exactly the same as people. Some are good, some are bad, according to their own nature. The only difference between cats and people is that there's no cat as evil as Voldemort, not that I can see, anyway, and that's kind of JKR when she's not fond of cats herself. Cats are integral to the wizarding world, just like they are to the muggle world.
The very first cat we see is Professor McGonagall, when she's already Transfigured – Mr Dursley, on his way to work on the morning of that fateful day, sees a tabby cat reading a map. And she's sitting on his garden wall when he comes home in the evening, but she waits for Professor Dumbledore, who doesn't arrive till nearly midnight, and that's Minerva McGonagall to a T – always active, and always supporting Dumbledore.
We only hear about the next cats, we don't see them. These are the ones belonging to Arabella Figg, who used to babysit Harry during Dudley's birthday trips out. But on those days, "Mrs Figg made him look at photographs of all the cats she'd ever owned … Tibbles, Snowy, Mr Paws and Tufty". We soon find out that she's gone off her cats a bit because she broke her leg tripping over one of the cats. Mrs Figg has her own secrets, of course, but we don't even know that they exist until much later in the series.
Cats are one of the three sorts of animals allowed for first-years at Hogwarts: toads and owls are also on the list. So when Harry gets to platform nine-and-three-quarters for the first time and sees the wonderful engine building up steam for the journey to Hogwarts and the chattering crowd on the platform, "cats of every colour wound here and there between their legs".
And that's the point, really: they're there, all the time in the background. Occasionally, one steps forward into the foreground and in this book, that's really Mrs Norris, the cat of Mr Filch the caretaker. She has "bulging, lamp-like eyes just like Filch's", and quite like this Cat Pottery cat in a recent post of mine:
"She patrolled the corridors alone. Break a rule in front of her, put just one toe out of line, and she'd whisk off for Filch … it was the dearest ambition of many [students] to give Mrs Norris a good kick."
Mrs Norris patrolled on her own! Wizarding cats are more than our cats – more than our cats let us see, anyway … but Mrs Norris definitely isn't likeable. Even Hagrid, when Harry and Ron go to tea with him for the first time, says "An' as fer that cat, Mrs Norris, I'd like ter introduce her to Fang some time. D'yeh know, every time I go up ter the school, she follows me everywhere? Can't get rid of her – Filch puts her up to it".
No matter what – in the first film, Mrs Norris is a beautiful, beautiful slim long-haired Maine Coon – actually, three Maine Coons, according to the website Showcatsonline, which even shows behind the scenes training moments. I've not seen that anywhere else, and I really, really like Harry Potter.
Interestingly, there's an interview on with Gary Gero on Scholastic, the wide-ranging learning website. Gary is the animal trainer who provides many of the animals on the Harry Potter sets, and he has this to say about Mrs Norris (well, Tibbles): "we have to very carefully select cats. That's one of the keys—you get a cat who enjoys work and enjoys the environment and enjoys new people and new situations. And then, it's all about dinnertime with cats, isn't it? We take their dinner and we divide it up into training sessions, and they're pretty much working for their dinner. Then, they get a bowl of food at night as well. But they're food is all regulated, and they're fairly intelligent. Their training method is a little less direct than, let's say, a dog. You make smaller steps. And again, once you understand exactly how a cat learns and what progress it makes, it's not difficult. They try—you just have to be careful that you don't expect too much of a single training session."
Mrs Norris pops briefly into the story again when Harry and Ron visit the Mirror of Erised together at Christmas. They're wearing the Cloak of Invisibility, but they can't tell whether or not it works on cats. And JK Rowling doesn't tell us at this stage!
She also pops in at the very start of the evening when Harry has his first confrontation with Voldemort, but it's more a case of remembering that she's there, and adding colour to the journey. It's important to remember, though, that Mrs Norris looks at our heroic trio, even though they're under the Invisibility Cloak. She doesn't betray them, either.
And that's it! For the first book, anyway. Though I should say, Gryffindor House has a lion as it's symbol. Cats rule Hogwarts, just like they rule the Internet.

Get Ready To Ride Your Way To Joy
Welcome to JoyRide! Thank you for signing up for a class. We know that trying a new fitness method can be intimidating, but have no fear, Team JoyRide is here to support you every step of the way!
Here is some helpful information to get your ready for your first (of many) JoyRides!
What is the Difference Between a Gift Card and a Class Series?
In addition to classes and series of classes, you can also buy a gift certificate. JoyRide's gift certificates are called "gift cards". Gift cards never expire and the person that you are giving them to can use his or her gift card(s) to buy classes or to buy any kind of merchandise. Once a class is purchased using a gift card, it will expire, just like any other class you buy.Gift cards and classes are not the same thing. Unlike gift cards or gift certificates, classes are for our rides only. You cannot redeem your class for cash and you cannot transfer it to another rider. Classes do expire. The expiration dates are posted in the purchase page on the Website. If, however, you cannot book a ride in time, just give us a call, stop by the studio, or e-mail us and we can help you.
Does JoyRide have showers and childcare?
Yes, we have showers in all of our locations! At this time, we do not offer childcare.
How do I reserve a class?
In order to place a reservation, you must first buy a class or class package. To do so, simply sign up for an account and create a username and password. Once that's done, click "login" and make your purchase! You may also purchase classes at our studios. JoyRide accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express and cash. Expiration dates and prices for single classes and class packages are subject to change.
What is Studio 2?
Studio 2 is where the cross-training magic happens! In addition to our famous cycling classes, in our Westport and Darien locations, we offer a variety of strength and resistance training to help you meet your fitness goals all in one place. Classes include: Circuit, sculpt, mat Pilates, BOSU®, TRX®, Pound®, high-intensity interval training, mobility, and groove. You can use your class packs for ALL of these classes too!
I have taken a few indoor cycling classes, but found the bike too uncomfortable to enjoy the benefits. Maybe it's not for me?
Okay, we hear this sometimes and we don't want you giving up so easily! For some riders new to indoor cycling, the seat and positioning on the bike takes getting used to. With a few classes under your belt, with proper form while riding, and with appropriate resistance on the flywheel, you will adjust in no time – and get hooked (we guarantee)!
What is the minimum age and height requirement to take a class a JoyRide?
Riders must be 13 years of age and a minimum height of 4'11" to take a class at JoyRide. In addition, all minors under the age of 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian on file prior to taking a class. You can print and sign the waiver in advance directly from of web site. Otherwise, please arrive at the studio 15 minutes prior to your first class to allow time to execute the waiver and get properly set-up on your bike.
What is JoyRide's policy on inclement weather and snow days/delayed openings?
We will very rarely cancel classes or close the studio, but if we must, we will try and give you as much notice as possible! Starting the night before, please check the web site schedule, as well as Facebook and Twitter, for studio closing updates.
What happens if my package expires? Can I extend my package?
Our package extension policy allows for a 30-day extension for a $25 fee. If you need to extend your package due to a medical reason, we can happily accommdate you! Please note for medical extensions, a doctors note is required.
Do I have to be a member of JoyRide to take a class?
Nope! You pay as you ride. You can purchase individual classes online or at the studio, or for a discounted rate; packages of 10, 20 or 50 are available. We also offer several unlimited packages for riders who wish to commit monthly or yearly. Riders manage their own accounts online, can reserve for the week ahead (new schedule posts on Sundays at 12 noon), and can select their individual bike.
Should I arrive to the studio early?
Yes! For your first ride, please arrive at least 15 minutes early so we can show you around the studio, set you up on your bike and introduce you to the instructor. For every other ride, please arrive at least 10 minutes early to make sure class starts on time and you're not lost in the dark. Also, please note that if it's a sold-out class, you must be checked-in and on your bike at the official start of class. If the class is NOT sold-out, there will a 5-minute grace period. After 5-minutes, you will not be allowed to enter the studio. This is both for your safety (it's dark in there after the warm-up!) and the enjoyment and focus of other riders. We also encourage you to stay during arm work. Even if you don't participate, it disrupts the experience for other riders when you leave.
What should I wear? Do I need special shoes?
We recommend wearing a tank top or t-shirt and comfortable leggings or shorts. If you are new to cycling, it's fine to wear sneakers as most of our bikes have clips for cycling shoes on one side of the pedal and a cage for sneakers on the other side. Just make sure to book a bike that only has clips (as noted on the Reserve page). Once you become addicted to JoyRide, we recommend cycling shoes with SPD clips for a smoother and more efficient ride. If you have LOOK pedal clips, we have a few bikes that can accomodate. Cycling shoes are available for purchase at the studio.
Do I have to bring anything with me?
Yes, a JOYful, postitive attitude! In addition, it's a good idea to bring a water bottle. Hydration is key! We have a water cooler in every studio, and we sell bottled water. We provide towels to mop the sweat. And trust us: You'll need one (or three!).
What is the cancellation policy?
To receive a class credit for a canceled reservation, you must cancel your class by 6 p.m. the night before your scheduled class. Once you cancel a class, it is returned to your account to be used at a future date. Classes not canceled by 6 p.m. the night before your scheduled class will be charged the normal class fee and no refunds or credits will be issued. Special event registrations can be canceled, but you will not be receive a credit to take another class or special event once canceled. We have a three strike policy for ALL Unlimited package holders (Student and Teacher Semester Series, New Customer Unlimited Month, Single Studio Monthly Pass and All-Access Monthly Unlimited). If you miss more than three classes without cancelling by 6 p.m. the night before your scheduled class, you will be charged a $25 missed class fee. This fee will be charged for each subsequent missed class that is not cancelled in the appropriate time frame.
How does the waitlist work?
We know the feeling...the class you want is FULL. But have no fear, our waitlist works!
If the class you want to attend is sold-out, please put yourself on the waitlist! If there are cancellations before 11:59 p.m. the night before class, you will be automatically added to the class. If a bike becomes available on the day of the class, we will NOT automatically enroll you. We will call all waitlisted riders and will only enroll them if they confirm. On the day of the class, it is a first-come, first-served policy. Whomever we speak to first, gets the bike. Also, if we have walk-ins on the day of the class, they will get priority. Your best bet is to just SHOW UP! There are usually last minute no-shows. If you do not get in off the waitlist, your class credit will be returned to your account to be used at another time. There are no refunds issued.
Remember, before you can put yourself on the waitlist, you have to purchase a class (or have a class in your account). Also, the waitlist works the same as a regular class reservation. If you do not remove yourself from the waitlist by 6 p.m. the night before the class, you many be added to the class after the cancellation period has expired.
If you are scheduled for one class and then receive a bike from the waitlist for another class, you will be charged for both reservations.
If I miss my class, can I take another class within the same day and not be charged?
If you call JoyRide to cancel your class 30 minutes prior to the start of the class, we will allow you to take another class within the same day for no charge! However, if you are a 'no show' or if it is within 30 minutes of the start time, you will lose the class you were signed up for.
What is the return policy?
Series Returns: All series sales are final, no refunds for cash or credit will be provided after the purchase of a series. If you choose not to continue your JoyRide series, you are not eligible for a refund. If you feel you will not be able to complete a package, you may want to choose one of the smaller packages. Unlimited Membership Returns: Sales of Unlimited Memberships are final, except as provided in the terms of any Unlimited Membership Contract. Merchandise Returns: All merchandise sales are final. Refunds for merchandise will only be provided in the form of a store credit or exchange in the case of a fault. No refunds for cash.

They were one of our first customers. Their requirements are one of the reasons that TITUS began developing email classification security software. From our relationship with them, a better classification product was born.
The relationship between TITUS and our Australian customers, particularly those within the Australian federal government, is a long and positive one. If you look through TITUS archives, you will find that back in 2005, TITUS (then Titus Labs) announced a, 'solution that meets all the mandatory requirements of the Australian government Email Marking Requirements'. It was then that we began working closely with the Australian government to help them meet the requirements of the Email Protective Marking Standard (EPMS). Over the years, we have continued to work closely with our Australian government customers to ensure continued support, allowing them to meet the requirements for each subsequent version of the standard.
The Email Protective Marking Standard for the Australian Government formalizes the use of email classification by mandating the use and format of protective markings for all email messages exchanged within and between Australian Government agencies. Protective markings are used to convey the protection requirements for information contained in a message and use the classification system defined in the Australian Government Information Security Management Protocol.
The Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) recently released version 2012.3 of its EPMS, and TITUS Message Classification for Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Web App (OWA) continues to provide full support for this latest version, while also continuing to maintain support for all previous versions.
TITUS Message Classification allows Australian government organizations to:
- Read and write protective markings compliant with the Australian Government's 2012.3 Email Protective Marking Standard
- Seamlessly transition (gradually or immediately) from previous standards to the current v2012.3 standard
- Guide users through classification selections to make it easier to apply classifications
- Aid users to select appropriate classifications for their emails with built in help
One of the strengths of TITUS Message Classification is the ability for customers to easily customize classifications and markings for compliance according to their requirements. To assist Australian government customers with their need to comply with EPMS, TITUS has produced and included recommended product configurations. These configurations not only ensure support for the new standard, but they also provide customers with interoperability with the previous versions of the standard. This interoperability helps minimize disruption when migrating from older versions to the latest version of the standard. Guided classification support and tooltips help end users fully understand and get up and running with the new security classifications.
TITUS will continue to work closely with our Australian federal government customers and support both new and older version of EPMS in order to ensure that they are fully able to comply with this standard both now and in the future.
Visit our website for more information on complying with Email Protective Marking Standard (EPMS) version 2012.3. To receive the standard configurations produced for the Australian government, or if you have a question about our support for the new and old standards, contact us directly at email@example.com.

FWS & Partners Ensure Future of Rare Invertebrate
By: Jared Martin, USFWS Communications Contributor
If you happen to travel through central Nebraska, you may be lucky enough to encounter one of a newly discovered insect known only from the state. Amongst the ticks, poison ivy, and sulfur-smelling sloughs lives the Platte River caddisfly, (Ironoquia plattensis). Found in central Nebraska, this aquatic, moth-like insect inhabits backwater sloughs along the Platte, Loup and Elkhorn Rivers.
Prior to 1997, no one was aware of the Platte River caddisfly (PRC). In fact, the species was discovered incidentally during a field study at the Platte River Whooping Crane Maintenance Trust (Crane Trust) by biologists Matt Whiles and Beth Goldowitz.
"It was first noticed on land in buckets intended to capture amphibians and was a very abundant component of the slough at the Crane Trust," writes Lindsay Vivian, a Nebraska-based biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) Mountain-Prairie Region.
What makes the PRC unique to other Trichoptera, (caddisflies) is its peculiar aestivation (summer hibernation) period during its one-year lifecycle.
"While most caddisflies live in water through the time they emerge as adults, the PRC spends three months aestivating on land before it emerges as an adult in the autumn," writes Vivian. "The Platte River caddisfly aestivates along slough banks in moist, shaded areas, or underground against plant roots. The terrestrial life stage in the PRC is thought to be an adaptation to avoid the stress of summer dry periods that occur in prairie systems."
Since the species' discovery, a number of partnering organizations have worked to conduct surveys for additional PRC populations to gain a better understanding of the small insect's range. Goldowitz, who at the time was with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC), conducted surveys along the Platte and Loup Rivers in 1999 and 2004. Out of 48 sites visited, she found the caddisfly at nine sites along a 100 kilometer (60-mile) span of the Platte River.
In the fall 2004, the caddisfly was not found at the Crane Trust, likely due to drought. Because of its apparent rarity, the NGPC designated the caddisfly a Tier 1 species in 2005. According to the State's natural legacy plan, Tier 1 species are those most at risk of extinction on a global scale or in Nebraska. In 2007, the species was found to be extirpated from one other site near Shelton, Nebraska. Because of concern over its decline, the Service enlisted the help of the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) to conduct more thorough searches for the caddisfly in Nebraska. Between 2009 and 2011, the caddisfly was documented at 30 new sites along the Platte, Loup, and Elkhorn Rivers. Most sites were discovered by Vivian, formerly of the UNK. Her efforts were supported by biologists from the Nebraska Public Power District, the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District, Central Nebraska Natural Resources District, the Headwaters Corporation, NGPC, and the Nature Conservancy. In addition, one site was discovered by biologists from the Crane Trust.
In 2011 and 2012, the Service assessed whether the Platte River caddisfly was warranted for protection under the Endangered Species Act. The 12-month finding concludes that the PRC currently inhabits a much larger area than previously believed. Additionally, using aerial imagery, potentially suitable habitat has been identified along other rivers in Nebraska, such as the Niobrara River.
Within the assessment, the Service analyzed potential threats facing the caddisfly and indicated that these stressors across the landscape are not currently threatening the caddisfly with extinction. Threats analyzed included:Â water impoundments and diversions for agriculture, drought, bank stabilization projects, invasive species, cattle grazing, pesticides, and climate change. In the finding, the Service also evaluated the presence of various conservation programs along Nebraska's rivers and their potential impact on the caddisfly.
Several programs and regulations have also been set forth by State and Federal agencies and non-governmental organizations that will provide protection for the insect now and into the future. These efforts primarily include protecting river flows and groundwater levels by limiting the amount of water development that can occur. Current data also indicates that a majority of the species' populations inhabit protected environments. Around 60 percent of known PRC populations are located on lands managed by conservation groups, which are protected from future land development. Other groups such as the Service's Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program and the Nature Conservancy are restoring wetlands across the state of Nebraska, which provides more protection to the species. With these efforts in place and the species' apparent success in maintaining secure population numbers, the future of the Platte River caddisfly appears to be in good hands.

Rachel Adams set to move in to The Tetley
Expanding upon her interest in modernist furniture design, How to Live in a Flat displays a series of new sculptural works which examine the motifs and contradictions of the highly functional furniture design of the 1930s, the era from which The Tetley building dates.
Adams will return to the exhibition at weekends throughout the project to rearrange the show, adding and removing artworks from the display.
Guest artists will also be invited by Adams to re-design, animate and live in the exhibition space over the course of the project.
How to Live in a Flat will be on display at The Tetley from May 12 to June 15.

Killzone: Shadow Fall PS4 Patch 1.06 Out Now, Color Blind & In-Game Voice Chat Patch Expected Next Week
If you own Killzone: Shadow Fall and have turned on your PS4 recently, you'll probably have noticed that patch 1.06 for the game is now available to download. Instead of being a giant patch that fixes a bunch of things and adds some new features, the Killzone Twitter account confirms that 1.06 just has some "general stability fixes," along with optimizing ways on how Guerrilla Games can bring future patches.
Looking at those future patches, we can expect one "in a week or so," and that will bring along not only color blind support, but in-game voice chat as well. Past that, the single player C4 bug (where the AI registers planting C4 as an unsilenced shot) is expected to be fixed either in the coming patch, or the one following.
To see the status of many requested features in Killzone: Shadow Fall, head over here.
Are you excited for the color blind support and in-game voice chat patch soon? Let us know in the comments below.

Naturally, I'd like to hear about any bugs you find. There will be a section on the download page that will describe the recommended procedure for bug reporting that will maximize the chances of it getting fixed.
Vrml2pov is written in C++ without (I think) any reference to system-specific libraries, and does not have a windowed user interface, so the code should be quite portable, with a few command line switches to control the behaviour of the program. I have provided compiled binaries for PC/Windows and SGI. A note about the parser: I wrote my own VRML parser because I wanted to write in C++, to follow the very latest VRML97 specification, and because some of the parsers out there that I tried failed to parse even simple samples that I fed to them. It should work with VRML V2.0 files, but will not take VRML V1.0.
This program aims to convert a VRML file into a static POV scene. Thus, everything in the VRML file having to do with time, animation, events, and routes is ignored. So, basically it is only the VRML Shape nodes that get transferred into the POV scene, although there are many other nodes that are necessarily read along the way. Not every standard VRML node has any correlation to a POV object, and of those that do, not every one is currently implemented. But I think a large majority of VRML scenes should be covertible by the current version of vrml2pov.
There are a few standard nodes that I want to mention here, that are not implemented yet, but that will likely be added in the not-too-distant future:
If anyone comes up with some other nice examples, please feel free to share them - I'd like to have some cool stuff here other than just chemistry...
This is a cool
bacteriochlorophyll protein (PDB entry 3BCL) created with Molscript's molauto
program and rendered with Molscript.
Here's the Molscript-generated VRML file viewed with Cosmo. (from this VRML file)
And finally, the POV version. The main point here is that the shape and color of the VRML objects are converted quite faithfully into POV. However, VRML's and POV's lighting models are quite different, so the color intensity, and especially the material apperance, will likely not be an exact match. But it should be pretty close, and POV users can of course manually tinker with the finish statements to make it right. (Here's the POV file)
This is a Molscript representation of the insulin molecule (that I was using to learn to use Molscript), showing the backbone helices and the disulfide bonds that hold the two peptides together.
... and the Cosmo version (or in VRML) ...
... and the POV version (or the POV file) .
This is a sample that I borrowed directly from the Molscript image gallery. It is the ras p21 enzyme (PDB entry 1CRQ), rendered with Molscript. Users of Molscript should pay particular attention to the README file's discussion of backface culling, which is required for the rendering of 2-color helix ribbons like those shown here.
... and the Cosmo version (or in VRML) ...
... and the POV version (or the POV file).
This is a tRNA molecule created with the Ribbons software package. It is one of the demo molecules that comes with the latest version. This is the final POV rendering of the molecule - Ribbons does some fancy things with animated viewpoints in the VRML file, so the corrleation of viewpoints between the Ribbons console and the VRML (and thus POV) output is not as direct as with Molscript.

If you're an outdoorsy type, then summer's the time for playing in the mountains, hiking the grasslands, surfing the Great Sand Dunes, etc. If you're the nerdy type, then summer's the time to climb into your hammock (couch, basement, whatever), curl up with a good book (movie, comic, video game, whatever), and yell to your mom (for the one-millionth time) that yes you do want some lemonade and yes you still like those popsicles shaped like rockets. This week offers tons of new releases and interesting options -- unless you were looking for a movie, then you're pretty much stuck with this piece of shit -- so here's what's coming out today (tomorrow for comics) in the world of media.
The Warrior's Way (DVD, Blue Ray)
Beastly (DVD/ Blue Ray) Know any high-school students out for the summer with nothing to do and a superiority complex? Throw them a copy of this movie. Beastly retells the story of Beauty and the Beast in a high-school setting. Mary-Kate Olsen stars in the beginning as the witch who casts a hideous love spell on the main character after he gives her the cold shoulder. Also starring Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens and directed by Daniel Barnz, Beastly flew under the radar when released in theaters, grossing poor amounts of income, and therefore promises to be one of the most affordable new releases of the summer.
The Aging Myth Fact: We're getting older and uglier by the minute. However, Dr. Joseph Chang, in his new book, The Aging Myth, provides possible explanations concerning what causes aging, why some age faster or slower than others, and how each person can start stressing out about how flaccid skin and a leathery face -- previously chalked up to genes and stuff a person can't control -- can be prevented. So probably buy this book unless you want to be the last person on earth who looks like a hag.
Now You See Her If this is the fourth summer in a row you've promised yourself you would read War and Peace and so far the behemoth has just been staring at you from your nightstand as you read the sports section and the back of various boxes -- pretty much everything to avoid reading Tolstoy -- then it's time to give up and read something thrilling, like James Patterson's new release, Now You See Her. Patterson's new book tells the story of Nina Bloom, who lives the "perfect life" in New York. Bloom's perfect life turns out to be a lie, and she must act quickly before the wrong man is convicted of a crime he did not commit.
Page down for Games and Comics! Games
Storm: Frontline Nation (PC) Storm: Frontline Nation produces an epic sphere of over 45 nations, 500 regions and 100 cities to explore in either campaign or skirmish mode. Waging battles on land, water and air, the game changes according to situation, and spy or sabatoge units can be sent out to infiltrate enemy lines. Optimized for multi-player capacity in hexifield layout, Frontline Nation promises to help epically procrastinate and waste time while teaching you tactics to fight in a world low on natural resources and struggling economically -- and let's face it, that sounds pretty helpful considering the current real-world climate.
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D (3DS) If the Resident Evil series has taught anyone anything, it's that no one gets sick of slaughtering zombies. Ever. And now, zombies can be slaughtered in 3D, on a hand-held gaming system. Aside from featuring thirty missions, Mercenaries also features the first time since Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition that Rebecca Chambers is a playable character.

Secret History, Book 15 The latest in a series of historical-fiction comics chronicling the travels of four immortal siblings who attempt to fix the maladies of Western Civilization, Book 15 tells the story of the siblings' journey in post-World War II Germany. Written by Jean-Pierre Pecau and featuring the art of Igor Kordey, Book15 follows the separation of the two brothers, Erlin and Dyo, as one sides with the Allies and other with the Soviets during the start of the Cold War. At the same time, scientists begin to open doors to parallel dimensions, and a group of Jewish partisans begin their journey from the border of two Germanys to the West, in search of the promised land.

Butcher Baker the Righteous Maker 4 It the title doesn't say it all, the cover does. But if the cover, a semi truck emblazoned with an American flag flying into the air, doesn't clearly define what type of comic Butcher Baker the Righteous Maker is, then here's a synopsis: Butcher is a truck-driving superhero who in Book 4 must leave the arms of his woman to fight an entire team of supervillians. Written by Joe Casey with art by Mike Huddleston, Butcher Baker is truly the redneck's comic book: action-packed, testosterone-crammed and brimming with cock jokes. For real. Even the press preview has a cock joke.

Kia's all-new Rio is due to land in South Africa during the course of 2017. Our UK Correspondent Sean O'Grady got behind the wheel recently and tells us what to expect.
London - Would it be a mistake to buy a Kia Rio? Depends what you want, really. If you want practical transport rather than a fashion statement, the answer is, very likely, "no". You and your Kia will be very happy together, in your unshowy way.
Here is a smart, contemporary reasonably good value smaller hatch in the traditional style. I liked the glossy grille, the choice of engines and the nice touches they add to the top-of-the range trim, such as a heated steering wheel. The controls for the satnav, entertainment and aircon were easy to use, far from a given with today's complicated cars. And of course you'll get Kia South Africa's excellent five-year unlimited-kilometre warranty as standard.
This is a very sober sort of design. Though all-new, the exterior styling is very close to the model it replaces, and there are none of the dramatic swooshes around the bodywork that feature on some of its toughest competitors, such as the Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio and Vauxhall Corsa. Nor is its handling quite as tidy, but that's probably of marginal importance for many buyers. Indoors, things are just as conservative. The special "First Edition" models get a splash of colour around the dash, bigger alloys and all the creature comforts but otherwise, even with these fancier versions, things are predominantly monochrome and sombre.
It contrasts strongly with, say, the new Citroen C3, which is as avant-garde French, modish and faddy as the Kia is business-suit Korean. Sadly the new French contender will not be coming to SA following the brand's withdrawal from our market.
There are very few talking points in the Rio; no air-bumps, no door pulls in contrasting leather, no crazy options for personalisation as with, say, a Mini or Fiat 500 or Skoda Fabia, no unusual pastel shades. But I suspect the Rio will last the test of time rather better than the more fashionable competition. To that degree it's more like a VW Polo, but not yet endowed with the VW's slightly more upmarket image. My only gripes with the Rio are the high lip on the boot, and the lack of a proper spare wheel.
However the Kia is a dedicated follower of engineering fashion. As you'd expect from a Korean maker, it boasts state-of-the-art consumer electronics: 6-speaker audio system; 7 inch touchscreen satellite navigation/entertainment, including DAB and live TomTom updates; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity; lots of USBs front and rear, plus a colour reversing camera/display.
Or take its new engine design – the upper half of the petrol range now powered by a small capacity but turbo-charged three-cylinder motor of the kind that's increasingly the norm across the market. Note, however, that the South African engine line-up has yet to be confirmed.
The European range kicks off with a pair of normally aspirated petrol engines, in 62kW/121Nm 1.2-litre and 73kW/133Nm guises, then moves on to a 1-litre direct injection turbopetrol in two states of tune (74kW and 88kW), with both producing 171Nm. Kia also offers a meaty 240Nm 1.4-litre turbodiesel option in 57kW and 66kW guises.
On the plus side the increasingly popular three-pot turbo engines are lighter, more economical and cheaper to make than their four-cylinder predecessors, so they ought to work for both manufacturer and consumer. On the other hand I remain a bit of a sceptic about their long-term performance, and am not yet convinced they won't turn out like other engineering fashions, and leave the motorist with a very bad case of buyers' regret, the most egregious example of that being the diesel boom of the last couple of decades.
Day-to-day, drive-to-drive, you'll find three cylinder power quite "thrummy" and not quite as smooth as a four-cylinder you might be used to. They need a bit more revving and working the gears, though, as I say, willing enough. Kia, may be hedging its bets a little, offering three- and four-cylinder petrol-powered options. I didn't have the opportunity to try out the more conventional normally aspirated four-cylinder models, though I'd put money on them lasting somewhat longer than their smaller-engined, more stressed siblings.
Then there's the diesel (four cylinder only). I confess I was one of the journalists who pretty much bought the line that modern turbo-diesels were the holy grail; sporty performance really was compatible with excellent fuel economy, lower CO2 emissions and, with advanced engine management and filters, "Nox" pollution (soot really) could be kept down as well. Anyway, we all know better now. Then again, when you jump into a diesel-powered Rio straight after a petrol version, you do see how diesel makes a difference – much more power at low revs, a more flexible response and not much less sophisticated, if at all.
The Kia Rio is not destined for the same level of success as its stablemates – the Sportage, a hugely successful entry into the SUV sector, the mid-range c'eed, the funkadelic Kia Soul, or the Picanto (a favourite choice under the scrappage scheme a few years back). Kia has shown that it can punch way above its weight, and the brand has travelled a huge distance in recent years – with the Optima saloon more than a match for the mainstream opposition. The Rio just lacks a bit of showroom magic. No one should regret buying a Kia, though.

Have You Received Your Flu Shot Yet?
Time to get your flu shot. Critter decide to be the perfect example for TSM Lawton, getting his shot the first day they were available.
After all , we are for the most part a pretty healthy nation. But when it comes to the cold and flu season, we, well, just fall apart.
A recent poll discovered that so far in October, only about seven percent of Americans reported having a cold on any given day of this month. But the days are getting shorter and so far we have had some very cold and wet days. And the more people are exposed to the elements, they leave themselves to the possibility of getting a cold or maybe the flu.
People also reported in the poll that they have had the flu as early as October for at least one day. And that trend has been ongoing for the last couple of years. Breaking it down demographically, more younger adults than older Americans reported having a cold or the flu.
The time is prime right now to get the shot. Doctor's offices and local health clinics have the vaccine available and you should before there is an onset of the flu.
So will you do like Critter and get your flu shot? I will and soon, you should as well.

"Life in a big publishing company is planning your trajectory to the water cooler so you can run into the guy you want to pretend will be your mentor," Hoyt said. "There's a lot of that."
Hoyt has more than held his own against large publishing companies such as Reed Elsevier and VNU Business Media. In fact, he says he would rather take on larger companies than smaller ones.
As an example, he points to his thriving P-O-P Times, a monthly covering the point-of-purchase industry. He rejoiced when in 1998 smaller publisher Shore-Varrone sold Point of Purchase to Bill Communications, which was eventually subsumed into VNU Business Media. The magazine ceased publication in 2003.
"The worst guy you want to compete with is a well-financed small publisher," Hoyt said.
Today, Hoyt is respected as an innovative, aggressive publisher, just the sort that Richard Mead, managing director of Jordan, Edmiston Group, was talking about in a recent article in the media investment bank's newsletter, "Client Briefing." According to Mead, innovation and the launching of new products by small publishers are the "lifeblood" of the b-to-b media industry at large.
Smaller publishers-those with less than $50 million in annual revenue-comprise the lion's share of the b-to-b media industry. Using data from SRDS, Mead calculated that 55% of the 2,043 b-to-b publishers in the U.S. are smaller publishers. These companies account for most of the magazine launches. In 2003 and 2004, for instance, smaller publishers launched 283 of the 423 new magazines-or 67% of the total, according to data supplied to Jordan, Edmiston by "The Business Publisher," a newsletter.
The challenge, according to Mead, is for smaller publishers to adjust to the new landscape, where b-to-b marketers are relying less on print advertising, embracing integrated marketing and spending more on Internet marketing. In coping with this difficult environment, smaller publishers have some strengths and weaknesses.
Lacking larger rivals' clout
In some respects, smaller publishers are at an economic disadvantage compared with larger publishers, which generally have easier access to capital to make acquisitions or other investments. Additionally, larger publishers enjoy economies of scale that allow savings in back-office functions and on magazine production expenses.
"The disadvantage [for smaller publishers] is that we don't have their clout," said Norman Kamikow, president and editor in chief of smaller publisher MediaTec Publishing, whose properties include Chief Learning Officer. "So when paper mills raise their prices, we're at the mercy of the printer to buy our paper for us. When the print companies want to raise their prices, we don't have a whole lot of leverage. The same thing holds true with the fulfillment agencies."
In the meantime, smaller publishers increasingly have ways to cut their costs. Some printers are offering co-palletization to reduce distribution costs. And some smaller publishers are discussing the formation of a buying group to reduce paper and printing costs, although antitrust issues may derail that effort. "Stay tuned," said Humphrey Tyler, president of National Trade Publications, which publishes Water Technology and other magazines.
Of course, the flip side of larger publishers' size advantage is that they move at a glacial pace. "The bureaucracy and the demands of the corporate life always undermine the soul of publishing for the most part," Hoyt said.
Like many other owners of small b-to-b publishing companies, Hoyt believes that smaller companies enjoy many advantages because of their flat management structure and entrepreneurial culture. The speed to market they enjoy is certainly an advantage in fast-changing times. "Small publishers can make decisions over lunch," said Robert Crosland, managing director at media investment bank AdMedia Partners.
In the minds of some observers, small publishing companies' best attributes are innovation and a sense of urgency to put those new ideas into practice. "We are very nimble," said Dick Ryan, CEO of Zweig White Information Services, which publishes Bridge Builder and other construction industry magazines. "If I have an idea, I have one call to make, and we're off and running."
At the same time, smaller, privately held publishers have the luxury of having more patience than larger, publicly traded publishers, which have to generate quarterly profits quickly to satisfy Wall Street. Smaller publishers, on the other hand, can stick with a magazine as it endures growing pains for years before it turns a profit.
Hoyt's success
For its part, Hoyt Publishing has demonstrated all three of these characteristics-speed, innovation and patience. Peter Hoyt himself has a bit of iconoclastic gumption thrown in for good measure. He seems to thrive on taking on larger publishers.
In 2000, Hoyt Publishing launched Home Decor Buyer to challenge Reed Business Information's Home Accents Today, part of the company's powerful furniture magazine group. Hoyt attacked on many fronts, but a key area of battle was circulation. "We doubled the circulation they had," Hoyt said.
That differentiation has allowed Hoyt's magazine to slowly make inroads against the Reed Business publication. Today, Home Decor Buyer is a formidable competitor, and Hoyt expects it to make its first profit-four years after it launched.
Few large publishers-especially publicly traded ones-are willing to wait so long for a publication to make a profit. But Hoyt said he believed in his gut that his magazine would be a success. "I knew it in my bones, and that's all that matters," he said. "But you couldn't sell that [at a big company]: my instincts."
Hoyt's iconoclastic approach was also evident in his creation of the In-Store Marketing Institute. With this for-profit association, Hoyt Publishing takes on not a large publishing company but an established industry association, Point-of-Purchase Advertising International.
Hoyt started the organization about a year and a half ago. Membership includes access to a Web site that has a library of point-of-purchase displays.
Although many b-to-b publishers blanche at the notion of taking on an industry association, Hoyt said it was little different from two decades ago when publishing companies began to launch their own trade shows to take on association events. His institute is making headway and may approach profitability in 2005.
"I love this business," Hoyt said. "It's an awful lot of fun."
Like Hoyt Publishing, MediaTec is a smaller publisher that has the luxury of taking risks and being patient. Two years ago, it chose to launch Chief Learning Officer in the middle of a protracted b-to-b media recession and into a field already crowded with three magazines. "Our board thought we were nuts," Kamikow said.
But the case was made, and CLO was launched in September 2002. It's hard to imagine a large publisher in that time frame launching a magazine into a crowded market.
Among MediaTec's advantages was having a strong title for the magazine, which moved it up the ladder into the C-suite. "The name positioned us well," Kamikow said.
Additionally, MediaTec did what smaller publishers are supposed to do: It moved with speed and flexibility. Kamikow said a key to the successful launch was CLO staff's adopting the suggestion of a pre-launch advisory board that the magazine offer more case studies.
Now, two of the magazines in the market are gone, and CLO is thriving. "I love doing what I do," Kamikow said. M

A Bay of Plenty school's annual fundraiser is proving so successful it is taking the burden off families who may be struggling.
Fairhaven School's annual fireworks gala is undoubtedly the biggest show in town.
Not only is it a good time, it also contributes to a very good cause - the approximately $30,000 raised covers all fees for the Te Puke school's students.
"It was a no brainer, a no brainer to make it no school fees," principal Paul Hunt said.
"People struggle, we need to look after our families."
Everyone in the school community pitches in, with the hangi proving particularly popular.
Mr Hunt says the event provides more than funds.
"It knits our whole school and community together."
Those sentiments were shared by a parent.
"It's the heart and soul of who we are."

One, two, three, four. We don't want your dirty ... job?
Call it the business-suit version of student protest - a tactic that capitalizes on today's tight labor market to try to change corporate policy.
For an earnest band of students across the United States, staging sit-ins or withholding dollars during consumer boycotts are yesterday's news. They are opting, instead, to withhold themselves as potential employees from corporations whose practices they criticize.
A national jobs boycott is a novel approach at a time when student activism tends to revolve around local issues such as multiculturalism on campus or the cost of tuition. But this effort, which focuses on corporations' environmental records, holds the potential to spread outward from college campuses, much as the anti-apartheid movement did in the 1970s and '80s, observers say.
"A lot of students want to make socially responsible job choices, and they just don't totally know how to do that," says Antha Williams, a Boston organizer of the Dirty Jobs Boycott, which officially kicks off this weekend at ECOnference 2000, a national student environmental conference in Philadelphia.
The campaign intends to help environmentally conscious college graduates do just that. The boycott will target as many as 12 corporations, each in a different industry, and it will urge students to pledge not to interview for jobs at those firms until the offending practices are changed.
Coca-Cola Co., for instance, might be asked to use more recycled plastic for its containers. The demands will echo those of other national environmental groups, "so the student activism will be another level of pressure," says Ms. Williams.
Skeptics, however, say most students are not likely to put jobs on the line for an environmental cause. The boycott "may turn off some people from interviewing, but overall ... companies have so many options to find people," says Philip Gardner, director of research at the Michigan State University's Collegiate Employment Research Institute.
But he sees a possibility for isolated success. "Some major employers only go to a handful of campuses [for recruiting], and if the coalitions on those campuses are effective, they could hurt somebody."
Organizers hope they can mobilize enough people to change, inconvenience, or even embarrass their targets - and they believe the tight labor market is working in their favor. Moreover, the boycott is expected to target firms that rely heavily on campus recruiting.
Because many colleges have been slow to develop environmental programs, "it's really been incumbent upon students themselves to ... organize around environmental issues," says Daniel Faber, an environmental sociologist at Northeastern University in Boston.
Students are increasingly putting pressure directly on the private sector. "There's a growing frustration with the unwillingness or inability of the state to go after polluters, the long time frame that's involved, the legalistic approaches," Professor Faber says.
Student protests have been on the rise in the 1990s, says Arthur Levine, author of a number of studies on student attitudes and president of Columbia University's Teachers College in New York.
The largely peaceful methods - from press conferences to litigation - may be less flashy than the '60s-era street demonstrations, but they also can be more effective, he says.
As more international students and American minorities have a presence in higher education, they tend to bring an agenda that links environmental and social-justice issues.
Recent movements against environmental harms and humanitarian issues, such as sweatshop labor, take their inspiration partly from the successful anti-apartheid movement, Faber says.
"They politicized their own universities for investing their own funds in South Africa and supporting apartheid. From there they branched out to look at local corporations and then larger corporations," he says.
Another trend the jobs boycott taps into is college students' desire to find employment that matches their values. The Graduation Pledge Alliance, for instance, is a growing movement in which students agree to "explore and take into account the social and environmental consequences of any job I consider or any organization for which I work."
More than 50 campuses are expected to be involved in the pledge by graduation 2000, says national coordinator Neil Wollman, a psychology professor at Manchester College in North Manchester, Ind.
By spelling out how certain companies are thought to harm the environment, the Dirty Jobs Boycott will fill a gap in the information available at career resource centers, says Brian Korb, regional coordinator of the boycott and a senior at Tufts University in Medford, Mass.
Companies that change the spotlighted policy can be removed from the list, and replaced with another "offender." With this kind of protest, "you can get a very tangible victory in the short term, which is very important for student movements," says Faber.
Although Boston organizers say it might take some time to get off the ground, they believe - with 20 colleges in their coalition - the campaign can make a difference.
They are encouraged by students' positive response to the idea. "They have been able to reach a lot of students who aren't the 'enviros' on campus," says Williams. "It's not a bunch of students who are going to go work for nonprofit saying, 'Yeah, we're not going to work for that corporation.' It really has been ... well received by students who get recruited by these [types of] companies."

San Diego's Martin Luther King Jr. parade began 32 years ago as a small march around Knox Preparatory School in Lincoln Heights and has grown into a citywide event complete with floats, marching bands and dancers.
This year, the parade will be Sunday afternoon instead of Saturday, and the celebration returns to its long-standing home along Harbor Drive.
32nd annual Martin Luther King Day Parade
When: 2 p.m. Sunday
Where: Along Harbor Drive, Embarcadero
Cost: Free, donations accepted.
Phone: (619) 264-0542
Online: alpha-zsl.org
"The new day has a special meaning because it's the actual birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., who was a member of our Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity," festival organizer Bob Matthews said. "He and I were about the same age — he was born in 1929, and I was born in 1930 — and we had a chance, many times, to be together at fraternal meetings."
Matthews founded the local Alpha Phi Alpha chapter in 1957, an African-American organization that focuses on service, social issues and philanthropy. And each year the group works to make King's dream of equality a reality.
"Well, I don't like the word 'dream' because 'dream' means you're sleeping," he said. "We're not sleeping. We're out there, trying to get things done to unite all the cultures that make up the United States of America."
Here's what to expect on Sunday:
Parade route: The parade has been moved from Sherman Heights to the East Village. This year, it returns to the Embarcadero, where it was held for many years.
Participants: Most of the music will be provided by high school marching bands. You'll also find drill teams, a royal court, area dance troupes and students from most of the local universities participating.
Multicultural Festival: In previous years, there had been a festival put on by the Centre City Development Corp. (CCDC) following the parade, but it's been canceled because of budgetary issues. Look for it to resurface with a new name in 2013.
Day of Service: Monday, the national Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, has become known as a day of service in which people volunteer their time for philanthropic causes. Several events are happening locally, including the fourth annual Interfaith Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Morley Field in Balboa Park.

More companies are demanding paybacks and placing limitations on the personal use of company cars, according to a survey by Runzheimer Reports on Transportation, an industry newsletter.
Although corporate permission for personal use of company cars has decreased only slightly during the past six years, from 93 percent to 90 percent, a considerably higher percentage of companies have placed limitations on personal use. In 1976, 40 percent restricted personal use of company cars - such as only allowing the employee or spouse to drive or requiring that employees pay for their own gasoline - whereas this year 72 percent impose these limitations. The percentage of companies that charge employees for personal use increased from 64 percent in 1976 to 75 percent in this year.
