Friday July 1, 2016 is the opening day for Disney's The BFG! The BFG is based on the beloved children's book by Roald Dahl and marks the first time Steven Spielberg has directed for Disney. So it's kind of a big deal.
The BFG (Mark Rylance), while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the other inhabitants of Giant Country. Standing 24-feet tall with enormous ears and a keen sense of smell, he is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most part. Giants like Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement) on the other hand, are twice as big and at least twice as scary and have been known to eat humans, while the BFG prefers Snozzcumber and Frobscottle. Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a precocious 10-year-old girl from London, is initially frightened of the mysterious giant who has brought her to his cave, but soon comes to realize that the BFG is actually quite gentle and charming, and, having never met a giant before, has many questions. The BFG brings Sophie to Dream Country where he collects dreams and sends them to children, teaching her all about the magic and mystery of dreams.
Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection for one another quickly grows. But Sophie's presence in Giant Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have become increasingly more bothersome. Says Spielberg, "It's a story about friendship, it's a story about loyalty and protecting your friends and it's a story that shows that even a little girl can help a big giant solve his biggest problems." Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see the Queen (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Together, they come up with a plan to get rid of the giants once and for all.
If you've read the book or already seen the movie, you already know the BFT has his own language called Gobblefunk. Here are a few examples:

Financial institutions, partner jurisdictions and affected stakeholders have been working to implement the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA") since its enactment in March 2010. Time and again, as key implementation dates draw near, stakeholders redouble their efforts to satisfy these deadlines. Nonetheless, some stakeholders are not as prepared as others to move forward. Rather than risk potential disruption and, possibly, failure of the entire implementation process, the US Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") and the US Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") have, in the past, seen fit to graciously extend previously announced deadlines. This is the case with Notice 2015-66 (the "Notice"). Specifically, the Notice announces that the IRS will amend the FATCA regulations to provide additional time for withholding agents and foreign financial institutions ("FFIs") to modify their systems to address the phase-out of certain transitional rules, including those impacting withholding on gross proceeds and passthru payments, registration of sponsored entities and reporting by financial institutions in Model 1 Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA") jurisdictions.
Extension of Dates for When Withholding Begins for Payments of Gross Proceeds and Passthru Payments
Under the existing FATCA regulations, withholding on payments of US-source FDAP (generally, interest and dividends) income began on July 1, 2014, and was scheduled to be expanded to apply to any gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of any property of a type that can produce US-source interest or dividends after December 31, 2016.1 In order for an FFI to obtain the status of a participating FFI, it must agree to withhold on passthru payments made to recalcitrant account holders and nonparticipating FFIs.2 A passthru payment is defined in the regulations to mean a withholdable payment and any foreign passthru payment. Under the existing FATCA regulations, a participating FFI is not required to withhold tax on a foreign passthru payment made to a recalcitrant account holder or a nonparticipating FFI before the later of January 1, 2017, or the date of publication in the Federal Register of final regulations defining foreign passthru payment.3
In an effort to continue to facilitate an orderly phase-in of FATCA withholding, the Notice states that Treasury and the IRS intend to amend the existing FATCA regulations such that withholding on gross proceeds will apply with respect sales occurring after December 31, 2018. The Notice also further extends the start date of withholding on foreign passthru payments to the later of January 1, 2019, or the date of publication in the Federal Register of final regulations defining the term "foreign passthru payment." It is unclear, however, whether this additional extension is presently required, as the existing FATCA regulations tie the implementation of this rule to the later of the publication of final regulations relating to passthru payments or January 1, 2017.
Extension of Limited Branch and Limited FFI Statuses
Subject to certain requirements set forth in an applicable intergovernmental agreement to implement FATCA (an "IGA"), in order for an FFI that is a member of an expanded affiliated group ("EAG") to become FATCA-compliant, generally, each additional FFI that is a member of the EAG must also have a FATCA-compliant status. The FATCA regulations included a set of transitional rules that provided limited relief to FFIs with branches or affiliates that are located in jurisdictions whose laws prohibit such branches or affiliates from complying with an FFI agreement. These "limited" statuses (referred to as the "limited branch" and "limited FFI" rules) were set to expire after December 31, 2015, at which point an FFI member of an EAG may be required to forfeit its compliant-status without the benefit of these transitional rules due to a related entity's non-compliance.
The Notice provides that the availability of limited branches and limited FFIs will be extended an additional year, and will terminate on January 1, 2017. Limited FFIs and limited branches that seek to continue such status during the 2016 calendar year will be required to edit and resubmit their registrations after December 31, 2015 on the FATCA registration website.
Extension of Time to Register Sponsored Entities and Extension of Reliance on Sponsoring Entity GIINs
FATCA provides that certain types of entities are not subject to withholding because they are deemed to comply with the requirement to enter into and comply with the FFI Agreement ("deemed-compliant entities"). Certain deemed- compliant entities are required to register with the IRS in order to achieve their deemed- compliant status (a "registered deemed- compliant entity"), while other deemed- compliant entities are permitted to certify to payors (without having to register with the IRS) their deemed-compliant status. Certain so-called "sponsored entities," such as a sponsored investment entity or a sponsored controlled foreign corporation, may be required to register with the IRS in order to be considered a deemed-compliant entity and the entity that sponsors such an FFI must also register with the IRS (a "sponsoring entity").4
Under the existing FATCA regulations, a sponsoring entity must register the sponsored registered deemed-compliant FFI with the IRS by the later of January 1, 2016, or the date that the FFI identifies itself as qualifying as a registered deemed-compliant FFI. Accordingly, since sponsored registered deemed-compliant FFIs were not required to be registered with the IRS prior to 2016, for payments prior to January 1, 2016, a withholding agent may rely on an IRS Form W-8 provided by a sponsored registered deemed-compliant FFI that includes only the GIIN (i.e., a FATCA identification number) of the FFI's sponsoring entity.5 In other words, prior to January 1, 2016, a sponsored registered deemed-compliant FFI was not obligated to provide its own GIIN to a withholding agent.
The IRS is currently developing a streamlined process for sponsoring entities to register their sponsored entities on the FATCA registration website, and it anticipates that this registration process will be available in the coming months. In order to provide sufficient time for sponsored entity registration, the Notice extends, by one year, the time for a sponsoring entity to register its sponsored registered deemed-compliant FFIs.
According to the Notice, Treasury and the IRS intend to amend the FATCA regulations by providing that sponsoring entities must register their sponsored registered deemed-compliant FFIs by January 1, 2017,6 at which point sponsoring entities must use the GIIN of the sponsored entity when satisfying information reporting obligations by filing IRS Form 8966 (FATCA Report). Additionally, sponsoring entities must provide the GIIN of the sponsored entity to withholding agents making payments to the sponsored entity by January 1, 2017. Sponsored entities located in a Model 1 IGA jurisdiction will maintain their deemed- compliant status so long as their sponsoring entity registers the sponsored entity on or before the later of December 31, 2016, and the date that is 90 days after a US reportable account is first identified. Sponsored entities located in a Model 2 IGA jurisdiction will maintain their deemed- compliant status so long as their sponsoring entity registers the sponsored entity on or before December 31, 2016.
For payments made prior to 2017, withholding agents may continue to rely on IRS Forms W-8 from sponsored registered deemed-compliant FFIs that only provide the sponsoring entity's GIIN. However, for payments made on or after January 1, 2017, a withholding agent will be required to obtain the GIIN of a payee that is a sponsored registered deemed-compliant FFI or a sponsored direct reporting NFFE. This can occur by obtaining an IRS Form W-8 from the payee that includes its GIIN, or, if the withholding agent already been provided such a Form that only contains the GIIN of the sponsoring entity, oral or written confirmation of the payee's GIIN (such as by e-mail).7
Treatment of Collateral Under the Grandfathered Obligation Rule
The existing FATCA regulations provide that payments made pursuant to certain financial instruments (excluding equity) were not subject to withholding. These "grandfathered obligations" were limited to "obligations" (generally an instrument treated as debt for US tax purposes) outstanding on July 1, 2014. A grandfathered obligation also included an agreement requiring a secured party to make a payment with respect to collateral posted to secure a grandfathered obligation. If collateral secures both grandfathered and non- grandfathered obligations, the collateral posted to secure the grandfathered obligations must be determined by allocating, pro rata by value, the collateral to all outstanding obligations secured by the collateral (i.e., the pro rata rule).
To ease compliance burdens, the Notice provides that the IRS intends to make the pro rata rule for collateral that secures both grandfathered and non-grandfathered obligations optional. In lieu of applying the pro rata rule, the secured party will be permitted to treat the entire collateral as securing non-grandfathered obligations and withhold on all payments made with respect to the collateral. In addition, the IRS intends to amend the definition of grandfathered obligations to include any obligation that gives rise to substitute payments and that is created as a result of the payee posting collateral that is otherwise treated as a grandfathered obligation. Such substitute payments would therefore not be subject to withholding.
Timing of Exchange of 2014 Information Under a Model 1 IGA
Treasury first released model intergovernmental agreements (the "Model 1 IGA" and the "Model 2 IGA") in 2012 to facilitate the implementation of FATCA and to address foreign legal impediments that otherwise would limit an FFI's ability to comply with FATCA. These Model IGAs have been updated periodically.
Many partner jurisdictions that have signed IGAs or reached an agreement in substance on the text of an IGA continue to work through their internal procedures to bring these IGAs into force. Accordingly, certain Model 1 IGA jurisdictions are not yet authorized under local law to exchange data pursuant to the IGA. Thus, the Notice confirms that for Model 1 IGAs that have not yet entered into force on September 30, 2015, Treasury will continue to treat FFIs covered by the IGA as complying with FATCA (and therefore are exempted from FATCA withholding tax) so long as (i) the partner jurisdiction continues to demonstrate firm resolve to bring the IGA into force and (ii) any information that would have been reportable under the IGA on September 30, 2015, is exchanged by September 30, 2016, together with any information that is reportable under the IGA on September 30, 2016. This result is consistent with certain memoranda of understandings ("MOU") between the United States and certain partner jurisdictions and extends such treatment to all jurisdictions without having to enter into a specific MOU with each partner jurisdiction.
For Model 1 IGAs that, pursuant to their terms, are in force, partner jurisdictions are generally required to exchange information with the IRS by September 30, 2015. In light of the practical challenges of implementing the infrastructure needed to exchange FATCA information, Treasury and the IRS are generally willing to provide additional time to effect the transmittal of FATCA data. Accordingly, the Notice provides that Treasury and the IRS will treat FFIs covered by an IGA as complying with, and not subject to withholding under, FATCA even if the relevant partner jurisdiction has not exchanged 2014 information by September 30, 2015, as long as (i) the partner jurisdiction notifies the US competent authority before September 30, 2015 of the delay and (ii) provides assurance that the jurisdiction is making good faith efforts to exchange the information as soon as possible. Accordingly, a partner jurisdiction that provides such notice to the US competent authority is not under any obligation to provide FATCA data by any particular date.

The major equity indexes started the day much lower filling in the gap from the May 6 "flash crash" low. The S&P 500 actually took out its May 6 low before rebounding (see chart). The Dow traded within 50 points of its May 6 low.
It appears that while structural problems in the markets may have allowed the extreme price movements on May 6 to occur, the actual levels hit were not unwarranted.

View from Fort Onslow [Kabul].
Photographer: Burke, John
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1879
Photograph with a view looking down onto the eastern section of the Sherpur Cantonment, taken by John Burke in 1879-80. The cantonment was situated a mile north of the city of Kabul in Afghanistan.
In 1878 Burke accompanied the British Anglo-Indian army columns deployed in the Second Afghan War (1878-80), despite being rejected for the role of official photographer. He financed his trip by advance sales of his photographs 'illustrating the advance from Attock to Jellalabad'. Burke's Afghanistan photographs produced an important visual document of the region where strategies of the Great Game (concerning the territorial rivalry between Britain and Russia) were played out. Coming to India as apothecary with the Royal Engineers, Burke turned professional photographer, in partnership at first with William Baker. Travelling widely in India, they were the main rivals to the better-known Bourne and Shepherd.
The Sherpur cantonment was planned by Sher Ali (1825-1879), Amir of Afghanistan, as the main winter headquarters of his army. The cantonment wall was over a mile and a half long with massive towers at regular intervals for artillery. In October 1879 British forces under General Roberts entered Kabul and occupied the Bala Hissar citadel in a fresh phase of the Second Afghan War after the killing of the British Resident Major Cavagnari and his mission in September. Roberts' tasks were to establish a line of communication with British forces via the Khyber Pass, secure his forces at Kabul, and punish those responsible for the death of Cavagnari. Realising that the arrival of reinforcements during the harsh Afghan winter was difficult, Roberts decided to quarter his troops at the more modern and well-defended Sherpur for the winter season.

- Description
Product Information
Pro's Choice, the originator of Red Relief, has another powerful weapon in its arsenal of stain-beaters: Red-1, a fast-acting red food dye remover that requires no mixing and no heat from an iron or steamer (and for especially tough, set-in stains, just a few seconds of heat – not minutes – is all that is needed for a little extra stain-fighting oomph!).
Erases tough synthetic stains, like Kool-Aid, Gatorade, and fruit juice, in moments. Red-1's strong (but not unpleasant) fragrance shouts I'm working! So you know it's delivering the stain-fighting results your customers are looking for.
Pro's Choice Red-1 meets VOC compliance and can be safely used on all wet-cleanable fibers. This ready-to-use spotter is free-rinsing and won't leave a residue.
- Usage
For synthetic fibers:
- Apply Red-1 to the stained fibers.
- Allow to dwell until that stain turns yellow or disappears. This will usually occur within 4 to 8 minutes.
- Rinse the area.
Some tenacious stains may require heat to accelerate the reaction. If this is the case:
- Re-apply Red 1.
- Cover the spot with a folded, moderately wet white utility terry towel and apply heat from a steam iron set to the lowest steam setting for a maximum of 5 seconds.
- Extraction rinse to remove the stain residue. Vacuum away as much residual moisture as possible.
- At this point the original stain should be gone or substantially lightened. If residual stain color remains, repeat the treatment above. You shouldn't need to exceed two treatments.
For wool or other natural fibers:
- See the labels tab for manufacturer instructions on using this product on natural fibers.

One way we go above and beyond in our commitment to promoting workplace safety is through providing a dedicated staff of expert safety consultants that span all of Oklahoma's 77 counties. Each policymember has the opportunity to utilize the expertise of our safety consultants through a wide variety of specialized services. Safety consultants can meet with policymembers on a regular basis and get to know their unique business. This individualized approach allows our consultants to make recommendations on training, potential safety concerns, assisting in attaining safety certifications and even help develop a safety manual. These are services that are critical to a comprehensive safety program that businesses often do not have the time, knowledge or resources to develop on their own. We are pleased to offer these resources as a benefit of partnering with CompSource Mutual.
CompSource Mutual also offers a variety of online safety resources, such as brochures and a monthly safety blog. In addition, we offer a comprehensive library of safety and health-related videos, making it more convenient to train your employees.

The main paradigms in machine translation (MT), namely the statistical and the rule-based approaches, had been seen for quite some time as competitors. In recent years, however, there is a strong trend and growing interest towards combining their underlying methods, including those of example-based MT, which can be seen as a link between the two, sharing properties of both.
The advantages of statistical MT are fast development cycles, low cost, robustness, superior lexical selection and relative fluency due to the use of language models. But (pure) statistical MT has also disadvantages: It needs huge amounts of data, which for many language pairs involving under-resourced languages are not available, and are unlikely to become available in the foreseeable future. Recent advances in factored morphological models and syntax-based models in SMT indicate that non-statistical symbolic representations and processing models need to have their proper place in MT research and development, and more research is needed to understand how to develop and integrate these non-statistical models most efficiently.
The advantages of rule-based MT are that its rules and representations are geared towards human understanding and can be more easily checked, corrected and exploited for applications outside of machine translation such as dictionaries, text understanding and dialog systems. But (pure) rule-based MT has also severe disadvantages, among them slow development cycles, high cost, a lack of robustness in the case of incorrect input, and difficulties in making correct choices with respect to ambiguous words, structures, and transfer equivalents.
The translations of statistical systems are often surprisingly good with respect to phrases and short distance collocations, but they often fail when selectional preferences need to be based on more distant words. In contrast, the output of rule-based systems is often surprisingly good if the parser assigns the correct analysis to a sentence. However, it usually leaves something to be desired if the correct analysis cannot be computed, or if there is not enough information for selecting the correct target words when translating ambiguous words and structures.
Given this complementarity of statistical and rule-based MT, with their very different strengths and weaknesses, an optimized MT architecture should probably comprise elements of both concepts. The question is which ones, and how to connect them. For example, different types of MT systems can work in parallel and their outputs can be combined. Alternatively, one system can be used for the pre- or post-editing of the input or output of another system. A further option is to closely integrate components from different paradigms.
Most hybrid systems described in the literature have tried to put some analytical abstraction on top of a statistical kernel. As open source statistical MT systems such as Moses are readily available, this might have been the natural choice for many. However, there is also the alternative of doing it the other way round, i.e. integrating statistical information as extracted from corpora into a rule-based system. There are also good reasons for this approach, as a well-designed rule-based system is likely to provide good interfaces allowing the incorporation of statistical knowledge in a systematic way.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together and share ideas among researchers developing statistical, example-based, or rule-based translation systems and who wish to enhance their systems with elements from the other approaches.
We solicit contributions including but not limited to the following topics:

One of my cravings for the last couple of months has been chicken soup with crusty bread, i literally cannot get enough of the stuff. Usually it'll be a tin of Heinz(it has to be Heinz!), but i decided last week to have a go at making it myself. The pictures aren't amazing as the camera battery died and i had to use my phone. Boo!
I love making soups especially veg ones where you can just chuck anything in but have never tried doing a chicken one before so i was a little apprehensive. I based it on a recipe i found in an M&S cookery book but tweaked it a little by taking out leeks(Phil wont eat them) and i didn't add any salt as Seb was having it with us.
This makes enough for 4 people.
3 tbsp butter,
2 onions chopped,
450g skinless&boneless chicken breasts chopped,
1 pint chicken stock,
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley,
1tbsp chopped fresh thyme,
175ml double cream
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat. All the onions and cook, stirring for 3 mins until slightly soft. Add the chicken, stock and herbs and season to taste. Bring to the boil then lower the heat and simmer for 25 mins until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Remove from heat and leave to cool for 10 mins.
Transfer the soup to a blender(may need to be done in batches) and process until smooth. Return the soup to the rinsed out pan and warm over a low heat for 5 mins.
Stir in the cream and cook for a further 2 mins then remove from the heat and lable into bowls. Serve.
So not as simple as opening a tin but very tasty and no nasties in it.

Best of San Clemente: Top Spots for an Amazing Cup of Coffee
March 9, 2017
Best of San Clemente: Top Spots for an Amazing Cup of Coffee
If you're a coffee lover, finding local coffee spots during your travels is probably a favorite pastime. Fortunately, in San Clemente we have plenty of top-notch cafes for you to choose from! Grab a cup on your way to visit the San Clemente Pier, refuel after a rigorous morning of surf lessons, or take an afternoon coffee break before heading out to shop at the Outlets at San Clemente. One of these top coffee spots will always be nearby, ready to serve up a steaming cup of brewed bliss.
Of course, you can always look up the local Starbucks or Coffee Bean for a reliable cup of coffee, but if you're looking for a spot with a little more local flavor, here are a few of our recommendations.
Bear Coast Coffee
618 1/2 Avenida Victoria
San Clemente, CA 92672
San Clemente is our city of coffee, and
Bear Coast Coffee
is our top pick in the Pier Bowl. Located just across the street from the pier,
Bear Coast
is the perfect place to stop on a afternoon stroll on the pier. Occasionally, Bear Coast will host small pop up shops for local vendors-giving visitors a casual and pleasant experience. Try their classic Americano (if you like your coffee strong), Lavender Caramel Latte, or Cold Brew for hotter days. Definitely opt to grab your coffee and find a bench by the pier, or the Parque Del Mar too!
Zebra House Coffee
1001 S El Camino Real
San Clemente, CA 92672
If you are looking for a more unique location for some solid coffee, try
Zebra House Coffee
. Zebra house regularly showcases the work of local artists on their walls and also hosts open mic nights once a month, making this cafe a great place to experience local talent.
Zebra House
offers food friendly to dietary needs—like vegan or gluten free muffins in all different flavors! This zebra-themed coffee house crafts delicious caffeinated drinks like the Mexican Mocha and peppermint mochas.
Be sure to bring cash with you, Zebra doesn't take cards. All in all, Zebra House is a must-visit for the adventurous San Clemente visitor, and a fun stop for a quick bite to eat or coffee date.
Ellie's Table North Beach
120 W Avenida Pico
San Clemente, CA 92672
Looking for even more pastry options to accompany your cup of joe? Walk into
Ellie's Table
and you will see rows and rows of delicious baked goods waiting to be tasted including a variety of croissants and scones, cronuts, sticky buns, danish, and more.
also offers savory items items like the chorizo burrito, Greek quinoa salad, and delectable ham and cheese croissants. If you are in the mood for a handmade latte, try the honey vanilla latte or the iced white mocha. Customers rave about the friendly service, casual atmosphere, and affordable prices.
If you're staying at one of our
North Beach vacation rentals
you can easily walk to Ellie's Table. If not, be sure to prepare for metered street parking as well.
Kaylani Coffee and Nitrogen Ice Cream
1844 El Camino Real
San Clemente, CA 92672
So you want a coffee and the kids want ice cream? No problem.
Kaylani Coffee
serves both, with lots of ice cream flavors to choose from and is a great place to stop especially on a warm day. Try their soft fluffy shaved ice for a chilly treat, or the nitro coffee for a creamy brew that will keep you cool during the summer.
Kaylani is located in the North Beach area across from the Metrolink Station and North Beach, so it's a great place to stop after a train ride up and down the coast, or a day at the beach.
Pipes Cafe
2017 S. El Camino Real
San Clemente, CA 92672
Pipes Cafe
is a super casual beachy spot with a full restaurant and an espresso bar on the patio. It's great place to stop when you just need to chill, or if any member of your group is craving breakfast food.
serves breakfast all day long, so you can grab pancakes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or just drop by the espresso bar and get your cappuccino, baja mocha, or whatever beverage suits your fancy.
Antoine's Cafe
218 South El Camino Real
San Clemente, CA 94158
Last but certainly not lease, we had to include
Antoine's Cafe
. Antoines is more of a breakfast cafe than a dedicated coffee spot... but it's been voted best coffee in San Clemente for 10 years in a row.
always has milder and stronger brews available, as well as a daily flavored coffee and, of course, classic espresso beverages like cappuccinos and lattes.
This local spot is popular, and often crowded, so if you plan to sit and eat, you may face a bit of a wait. Otherwise, you can always order to go.

The good news of the Gospel is that we get God – that is, that through Jesus Christ (and no other way) we have access to a full, abundant, eternal, loving relationship with God as our Father. In John 10:10, Jesus said, "I have came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." Without Christ, we remain separated from God both now and for eternity – what the Bible describes as hell.
Below are two very good summaries of the Bible's main message – the message about Jesus of Nazareth. Click the links to see these clear and concise illustrations!

Request an Appointment with an Orlando Health Physician
Gastric banding is a weight-loss surgery that avoids cutting, stapling or rerouting organs. Laparoscopy will minimize your pain and recovery because doctors make only small incisions.
When you elect a gastric banding procedure, our doctors will place a silicone rubber device around the opening of your stomach opening to limit food consumption and increase the time needed for digestion. For this procedure to succeed, you must follow a diet plan and consider potential calories before eating. Surgery is performed laparoscopically through small incisions, which minimizes pain and speeds recovery. The gastric band can be adjusted to modify your rate of weight loss.

Refined Modeling to Estimate Sediment Dischargeby C. Mendoza, Univ of California, Berkeley, CA, USA,
H. W. Shen, Univ of California, Berkeley, CA, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Hydraulic Engineering
Numerical solution of the two-dimensional turbulent flow over a train of identical dunes is obtained with the Algebraic Stress Model for closure. The effective tractive force acting on the bed is calculated through integration of the pressure and shear stress distributions acting on the dune surface. Bed material load estimates are found and satisfactory agreement is obtained when the calculations are compared with some of the data presented previously.

When asked what sets Trilogy Event Design apart from other event designers & planners in the area, the answer is very simple: two talented, creative women with tremendous experience who are considered experts in their respective fields — Chief Event Planner Randi Martin and Creative Director Francesca Staffieri.
Randi is a recognized expert in event planning and design and is the keynote speaker at all of the Bridal Events by Bouche Productions for 2013 — 2014. If you've never been to a bridal show, these are the ones to go to. Besides meeting wedding professionals who have been vetted by Carol Bouche, the producer of these shows, they feature a fashion show, a rousing musical demonstration by Best of Both Worlds, and a Q&A with Randi herself.
This past weekend's Bridal Event was held at Aldie Mansion. Many bridal show attendees come to not only meet wedding professionals, or see the fashion show, but also to check out a venue. And, Aldie Mansion is one gorgeous venue, featuring the delicious menus designed by Jeffrey Miller Catering.
Throughout the day, models walked the floors of Aldie Mansion showing off many of the newest designs, provided by Nicole Bridal in Jenkintown.
The highlight of the afternoon was our very own Randi Martin answering the attendees questions about their big day. From answering questions about how to decide who should be invited to your wedding to providing valuable information to protect your investment in your wedding, the audience was clearly engaged from start to finish!
While you can see Randi at the rest of the year's Bridal Events produced by Carol Bouche, there's nothing better than meeting with her one-on-one. To set up a FREE one-hour consultation with Randi and the rest of the Trilogy Event Design team, email us at email@example.com, call 800-941-2770 ext 1, or fill out our contact form.

OSAWAMICK, Samuel
--In loving memory of Samuel Osawamick, born March 4, 1912, passed away September 13, 2003.
A husband, dad, grandpa and Uncle Sam.
Since you've been gone,
Nothing seems the same,
The colours aren't as bright,
The world's just not right.
Your passing reminds us,
We'll never forget what we've lost,
A gentle spirit, unique on its own,
A spirit that touched the world.
All those who remember you,
Will never forget the words,
The wisdom, the teachings, life lessons
You've left behind.
Your spirit will always live on,
For those who learned,
Those who understood,
Those who've passed on your knowledge.
You will live on forever,
And throughout eternity.
We miss you and will always remember. Your loving family.

We've previously covered the Xbox Companion app for Windows Phone that was to be released soon after the Xbox dashboard refresh. This app will enable users to control their Xbox consoles and browse the Marketplace for media (music, movies and games), launch movies and music, view friends activity, search for information on what's currently playing (via Bing), and control playback.
The Xbox Companion app is set to be made available on the Marketplace for free tomorrow and will bring more integration between the two platforms with Windows 8 creeping around the corner. Thinking of three screens anyone? We'll take a deeper look at the app once it's published.

KidFest! Ridgeland was recently named a "Top Twenty Event" by the Southeast Tourism Society.
Don't forget! Some of our headlining acts change from weekend to weekend! Be sure to check the schedule so that you don't miss out on the chance to see them all!
NEW! Scales, Tails & Teeth Walk-Thru Reptile Zoo (April 14-15 & April 21-22) – Experience a very informative and exciting exhibit featuring some of the world's most feared and misunderstood reptiles. Meet Jimmy Riffle and Scott Cohen of Animal Planet's hit TV show "Gator Boys." Jimmy, Scott and the Gator Boys Road Crew will answer your questions about this unique grouping of turtles, snakes, lizards and other reptiles. Ongoing throughout the festival.
NEW! Disc-Connected K9s (April 14-15) – World Champion Frisbee Dog Team – Featuring 5 different world champions, including the 2008, 2010 & 2014 Open World Champions and the 2012 & 2013 Pairs World Champions, this internationally acclaimed professional Frisbee dog touring show is comprised of the largest collection of the best Frisbee Dogs on the planet. All of their shows carry a message of fun, athleticism, canine bonding and promote dog rescuing. Their routines are choreographed to music, defy the normal relationship between man and canine; and leave even the oldest of children with a smile on their face and in their heart. To make it even more interesting, all of the dogs are "rescue" dogs, meaning they have come from either abandoned, homeless, sheltered or humane society backgrounds. Their individual stories are almost as interesting as their performances. We promise you will be laughing and clapping in awe at the tricks these dogs perform (Appearing April 14 – 15 only, please see our schedule for performance times).
Zoppé, an Italian Family Circus (April 14-15 & April 21-22) – Starring Nino the clown, the Zoppé circus is propelled by a central story that features acrobatic feats, equestrian showmanship, canine capers, clowning and plenty of audience participation. Giovanni Zoppé, the sixth-generation circus performer who plays Nino, says the show aims higher than most circuses these days. "We try to touch every emotion during the show," he says. "They'll laugh, they'll cry and they'll feel for our characters. It's more of an event than a show." Don't miss America's favorite family circus. www.zoppe.net (Appearing both weekends, please see schedule for performance times).
Skin & Bones Comedy Circus (April 14-15 & April 21-22) – A unique presentation of trained dogs and potbellied pigs whose human friends present a very entertaining kid-tested, parent-approved show of comedy and fun. (Appearing both weekends – please see schedule for performance times).
Backyard Circus (April 14-15 & April 21-22) – An old-fashioned backyard circus where as many as 30 children from the audience have the opportunity to dress up and be the circus performers. The show includes a lion tamer, strongman, butterfly ballerinas and Wanda, the tightrope walker. During the grand finale one lucky kid is shot out of a cannon, not a real cannon, but it is a great ending to the "World's Greatest Backyard Circus." (Appearing both weekends, please see schedule for performance times).
Hilby, the Skinny German Juggle Boy (April 21-22) – Best described as a show without boundaries, Hilby is living proof that being German doesn't mean you can't be funny. He really gets his audience involved and creates magical and hilarious moments through their participation. Watch out for catapults, marshmallows, lots of Velcro and the bowling-ball of terror. www.hilby.net (Appearing April 21-22 only, please see schedule for performance times).
All of this and a lot more at the 16th Annual KidFest! Ridgeland on Saturday, April 14 – Sunday, April 15 and Saturday, April 21 – Sunday, April 22, 2018 at Freedom Ridge Park. To provide a memorable experience for both parents and children, KidFest! Ridgeland will provide:
- Interactive activities and attractions,
- A variety of shows,
- Amusement rides & train rides and
- It's all included in the admission price!
Ridgeland also offers the family numerous venues for dining, lodging and fun. Explore www.visitridgeland.com for more details about our city.
KidFest! Ridgeland is a program of the city of Ridgeland Recreation & Parks Department. Call 601.853.2011 for more information.

Always trust the internet, is the moral here
Part 1, Chapter 6
I'm sitting at my desk in the basement physics lab where I worked for the summer, not working on a stripline coil because, seriously, there's no way that spiral of foil and epoxy and fairy dust actually will impede with the impedance it is supposed to be impeding with. My research advisor believes in magic, is what I'm saying. So, either I'll fix it this afternoon, or maybe the low-temperature gnomes will come fix the damned thing during lunch. I have more important things to worry about. Like telling my problems to the internet.
Did you think this website was the first time that happened? Look, maybe I keep telling my problems to the internet because it always works.
"I just can't stand being away from her," I was typing. "I don't know what to do."
The internet is wise. "Go see her," it urged.
"What?" I responded. "You don't understand. I have no money and no car. I am at school in Cleveland and she is in Missouri, which, if you haven't heard, is several million states away. Whatever, internet, I have work to do. You may have failed me for the first time."
I turned away and started to tinker with the stripline, but the electronic voice of the internet echoed in my brain. "Go see her," it called, from interconnected nodes far away. I could try to deny it, but the internet is never wrong, and this was no exception. I had to know if the e-mail flirtation was transferable to the real world. I had to know what was the scene with her boyfriend. Plus, she was simply way hotter than anyone who worked in the physics building or lived in my apartment that summer.
Biking home after work, I started to flirt with the idea again. Well, I have friends with cars. Maybe I can con them into going to visit Missouri and, like, driving me there too. That'll definitely work. I'll feel them out.
"Hey guys, what do you think about a road trip?" I asked. "Let's go to Missouri."
"Missouri? Are you kidding? What kind of crazy tourist-shuttling taxi do you think we are?" Roommate 1 has calculated average car maintenance costs per mile per pound of passengers in excess of himself, and charges us accordingly for rides.
"I've got an idea. Let's take a road trip to the grocery store, get some steaks, grill out and drink beers on the roof of the garage." Roommate 2 was full of practical ideas.
"Wait, I know who's in Missouri. He wants to see that crazy girl he writes e-mails to. Justin: she's imaginary." Roommate 3 liked to knock me back down to earth.
"No, no. You haven't seen her. She's not imaginary, she's hot. She works at the newspaper."
"We'll put a stereo out there and listen to music and grill steaks. I don't see what's so complicated here."
"Wait, when were we going to go to Indianapolis?" I can't believe I forgot! There was a girl we were all friends with who lived in Indianapolis, and we had decided to go see her this summer. Indianapolis is practically Missouri, right? I mean seriously. They're pretty much right next door!
"Well, look," I venture, "Why don't we just go to Indianapolis and then maybe stop by Missouri, too?"
"Are you kidding? There's no way I'm going to Missouri. There are no good art museums in Missouri, like, at all. What would I do?"
"I don't see any good reason to put those miles on my car."
"We could be having this conversation outside while drinking beer! I can't believe it, I'm surrounded by insanity. You people are crazy."
"Yeah, but, Indianapolis is closer to Missouri than I am now. If you guys can get me there, I'll go the rest of the way on my own. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an e-mail to write."
I phrased the e-mail this way:
"Hey, listen. I'm going to be in the Missouri area in a few weeks. If I were to swing by your town, would you be interested in grabbing a cup of coffee?"
Which, was not strictly an accurate way of putting it, but define "Missouri area."
The response came the next day.
"Actually, I'll be out of town that week." Oh no. "I'll be with my parents in our beach house on Lake Michigan."
Disaster! I was so disappointed. But suddenly my being in Ohio with no money and no car became unimportant. Any doubts I had as to whether a crazy multi-state scheme was a bad idea were swept away. I knew I would sell kidneys to go see her. I would hijack blimps. Here is why:
"Why don't you stop by the beach house and spend a few days with us up there?"
Wow. That sounds like the most awkward, romantic, sweet, ambiguously improper way to spend a few days. And it definitely does not sound like a date.
You couldn't keep me away if you tried.

Many b-to-b companies are markedly expanding their sales forces to market themselves out of the economic downturn. They're betting that bigger, more experienced sales forces are the surest way to counter a softening and—given recent events—an increasingly uncertain economic climate.
These businesses believe clients affected by the downturn are keener than ever on getting one-on-one attention from sales reps. They also say the pool of available sales talent is better than at any time in recent memory.
Companies hiring
Among the companies boosting their ranks are:
• FreeMarkets Inc., a leading b-to-b e-procurement company, which has increased its sales force by 30% over the past year.
• Comforce Corp., a staffing company, has built its sales rep force by 15% over the last year and plans to do more hiring.
• Forsythe Solutions Group Inc., a technology infrastructure company, has built its sales force by 25% over the past six months and plans additional hiring.
• RetailExchange, a b-to-b excess inventory site, has increased its sales force from 10 people to 20 since last year and is looking to hire more.
The companies say sales-force reductions elsewhere, especially among technology companies, put a lot of good salespeople on the street.
"There are more good people than we've ever seen," said Joe Juliano, VP-global enterprise sales at Pittsburgh-based FreeMarkets. Many of the available reps, he said, have experience in software sales and are looking to get out of that hard-hit industry.
Chicago-based Forsythe has taken advantage of the available talent to increase its sales force to 120 reps. "ROI [return on investment] is on everyone's mind right now, and many clients are delaying IT buying unless they can justify how technologies can improve their business," said Eva Losacco, president-CEO of Forsythe.
"We train salespeople to be trusted advisers to their businesses. So when we can find that kind of person, we get them. Those people are hard to find during good times. Now they're much easier to find."
Comforce, a Woodbury, New York-based staffing and outsourcing firm, has increased its sales force to 150 representatives. The company plans to hire more reps during the next four months. Evan Burks, exec-VP, said a big drop in orders prompted the company to build its sales staff."A year ago, you could practically throw a rock and get an order," Burks said.
The company's main reason for building its sales force is to be positioned for an economic turnaround, Burks said. "Progressive companies should view expanding their sales force as great for ROI. We want to be riding a wave when the recovery happens," he said.
Cuts can hurt
Companies that cut sales jobs during a downturn hurt themselves, Burks said."No company's ever downsized its way out of a downturn," he said.
Businesses that have depended on their Web sites to help bring in business must now focus on building up their sales forces, said Jason Kissell, director-marketing at Boston-based RetailExchange."What we've built is an online presence, but we've got to get face to face with people to convince them that it's a more efficient way to do business," he said.
