All 219 parishes of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia are invited to join in the Day of Prayer for Iraq at all Masses this weekend, Aug. 16-17.
At the Cathedral Basilica of SS. Peter and Paul in Philadelphia, a Holy Hour with the intention of peace in Iraq will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17, followed by Mass celebrated by Archbishop Chaput at 6:30.
The prayer initiative is part of a national effort led by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and follows the call of Pope Francis for the Catholic Church to join in prayerful solidarity for an immediate end to the violence and destruction in Iraq along with the persecution of Christians in the embattled country.
Archbishop Chaput has asked that Christians in Iraq be remembered in prayer when Catholics gather for celebration of the Mass and for devotional prayer, especially in adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament and while praying the rosary.
The following specific prayer has been recommended by the archdiocese for the general intercessions during Mass this Sunday:
"For an immediate end to the violence and destruction of life in Iraq, especially as it is directed to the native Christians, that these evils will be defeated by efforts for peace and justice. Let us pray to the Lord — Lord, hear our prayer."
Patriarch Louis Rafael Sako, head of the Chaldean Catholic Church of Iraq, earlier this month encouraged all Catholics also to pray the following prayer for peace:
"Lord, the plight of our country is deep and the suffering of Christians is severe and frightening. Therefore, we ask you Lord to spare our lives, and to grant us patience, and courage to continue our witness of Christian values with trust and hope. Lord, peace is the foundation of life; grant us the peace and stability that will enable us to live with each other without fear and anxiety, and with dignity and joy. Glory be to you forever."
On Aug. 7 U.S. President Barack Obama authorized airdrops of humanitarian supplies to thousands of religious minorities in Iraq and limited airstrikes against the Islamic militants in Iraq. Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, Kentucky, who is president of the USCCB, wrote Obama a letter regarding Iraq Aug. 13.
In a strongly worded July 25 letter to U.S. National Security Advisor Susan Rice July 25, Bishop Richard E. Pates of Des Moines, Iowa, who is chairman of the bishops' Committee of International Justice and Peace, said U.S. humanitarian assistance "was urgently needed to help these beleaguered people (of Iraq), especially Christians."
"This aid should go directly to the minority communities through trusted NGOs, otherwise past experience has shown that aid is diverted," he said.
He asked that the U.S. government "do all that it can to provide this critical assistance to those in desperate straits and to work with other governments in an effort to stop the violence."
Bishop Pates reminded Rice he had written to her a month earlier about "the escalating violence in Iraq that targets Christians and other religious communities."
"I asked that the U.S. government urge Iraqi political leaders to form an inclusive government representative of all ethnic and religious groups, thus reversing the exclusion that has been exploited by extremists. Only in this way can the rule of law be restored and the common good of all be served, he said. "Sadly the situation in Iraq has only deteriorated in the past month."
In a July 22 statement, Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, Kentucky, who is president of the USCCB, urged Catholics to join with him in prayer and action for peace in all the world's trouble spots, including the Middle East, Ukraine, Africa and Central America, pointing in particular to the "terrible crisis of Christians in Iraq."
"In the coming days and weeks I urge you to ask our Catholic people to pray for peace and to support diplomatic efforts aimed at dialogue and reconciliation," Archbishop Kurtz said. "As Jesus admonishes us: 'Blessed are the peacemakers' (Matthew 5:9). This can be done in personal prayers and in the prayers of the faithful at Mass."
He added, "We should never underestimate the power of prayer; for it touches and opens us to the power of God among us. My prayer is that together we might help open our world to God's gift of peace."

Finished book review by: William
Book written by: Micheal Crichton
Total number of pages: 385
Genre: Realistic fiction
My rating: **, it was OK
A brief summary of my book:
The book is basically like an realistic fiction on what the government could be hiding. Making a scenario in which the main characters get killed off one by one. And when they resurface, they have to options. To destroy something to not let the Gov. know about it. Or let them have it.
What I thought about this book:
I didn't really get that interested in the book and the plot. The plot wasn't as exciting as it could've been. Also most of it didn't really make any sense.

When Jesus encountered the Samaritan woman at the well, the scripture makes it plain that she was at the lowest point of her life. Jesus usually met people at their greatest time of need and in the case of the Samaritan woman, that time had come. Women in that part of the world in that time customarily went out to draw water in groups, and they did so at a certain time of day, usually late in the day when it was cool. This is confirmed in two places in scripture. Genesis 24 verse 11 – And he (Abraham's servant Nahor) made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time when women (plural) go out to draw water. And in 1 Samuel 9 verse 11, we read that Saul and his servant were seeking Samuel the prophet and were met by the women (again, plural) of the city as they were coming out to draw water. It's very unlikely that this custom had changed by Jesus' time, so the fact that the Samaritan woman was drawing water – alone – during the hottest part of the day tells us that there was a problem in her life. As we know from the account in John's gospel, the problem was her immoral lifestyle, which was brought out in the course of her conversation with Jesus. She may as well have been IN that well and in a spiritual sense, she was.
In that same sense, many of us have felt like we were stranded in a well or at the bottom of a deep pit at some point in our lives. And before we accepted Jesus Christ, we were just like the Samaritan woman. We may as well have been stranded at the bottom of a well. Even in our Christian walk, we sometimes experience brief moments when it feels like we've fallen into a well and can't get out.
So let's use that imagery. Imagine actually having fallen into a well or a deep pit or a cave. First of all, there a couple of things about falling into a well that you can be certain of: One, there's nowhere to go but up. And two, if someone is kind enough to throw you a rope, it doesn't do you much good if you don't grab ahold of it. Spiritually speaking, the same holds true. When you hit bottom, the only way out is up. Because of His love for us, God gave us a way out. He's the one holding the rope at the top of the well. Of course the rope in this illustration represents God's free gift of grace. It's there for the taking, but you have to accept it. You have to grab the rope.
If you watch any of cable channels, chances are you've seen a documentary or two about people who were mountain climbing or hiking in a remote area and accidentally fell into a crevice or deep pit. It's happened. But what if those people refused to be rescued? Suppose someone threw them a rope, but they refused to believe there was someone holding the other end of the rope? We would call that unbelief. What if they believe but simply choose to ignore the truth that they're doomed to die unless they grab the rope? That's probably a good description of spiritual blindness. Or, what if they said they don't need the rope because they can climb out of the crevice on their own? That would describe people who believe they can save themselves through works. What if they just decided to live out their lives at the bottom of the well and for whatever reason, they never took hold of the rope? That describes people who are lost for all eternity if they die without Christ.
If you were to witness to someone and lay all of this out they way I've laid it out here, they'd probably tell you that no one in their right mind would refuse to grab the rope if they fell into a well or crevice or some kind of deep pit. No one in their right mind would refuse to be rescued, they would say. And they would be right. Yet every day, people refuse to grab the rope that God has thrown to them to rescue them from whatever spiritual well or pit or crevice they're in. They refuse to believe there's a God at the other end of the rope. Or they acknowledge the existence of God, but they ignore the truth that anyone who rejects Jesus Christ stands condemned. "Yeah yeah, I believe God is real, but I don't want any of that Jesus stuff." they say. Or they think they can be saved by living a good life or by being a good person, or by doing more good things than bad things with the hope that the good will outweigh the bad.
Any reasonable person who was stranded in a crevice or a pit or at the bottom of a well would want to be saved. With that in mind, the Bible makes it very clear in very familiar passage in Romans 3 that every person, living or dead, has sinned. So spiritually speaking, everyone has fallen into a pit. Everyone is stranded at the bottom of a well, whether they realize it or not, unless they've grabbed the rope. The good news is, God is on the other end of that rope. He's waiting patiently. He wants everyone to be rescued. God's grace is there for all. As we witness to people, our challenge is to show them how real and how deep their spiritual well is, and as followers of Christ, our calling is to show them the rope!

Show Notes
Eoghan and Terry discuss cognitive impairment and delirium in the Emergency Department - why and how we should assess for it, how we should treat it and some other useful pearls of wisdom.
Take Home Messages
Cognitive Impairment:
Why should we assess for it?
- It is very common (any unwell patient is at risk)
- The presence of cognitive impairment is a powerful prognostic marker – they do worse
- Patients say it is more important to them than the physical disability of illness
Advantage of assessing in ED: often easier access to a friend/relative who can provide a collateral history
Package of assessment:
- Assess for cognition at current point in time: AMT4 or AMT1
- Find out (from informant) about how that has changed over past few months
- AD8 or IQ code questionnaire
- Can be completed by informant as you assess patient
- Assess for delirium
- 4A test
How do we treat?
- There are no good treatments to prevent or reduce severity/duration
- Antipsychotics can turn a hyperactive delirium into a hypoactive one – this does not improve outcome
- Optimize physiology
- Hydrate and provide DVT prophylaxis
- Treat the underlying cause
- Infection/MI etc
- Antibiotics if indicated
- If patient has low cognitive reserve then minor ailments can cause such as constipatio
- Relieve family distress (consider information leaflets)
- Early mobilization and reorientation on the wards
Carphology = aimlessly picking at bedclothes
Floccilation = plucking at the air
These are pathognomonic of Delirium

2006 was a bad year for honeybees. According to Oregon State University, 30% of North America's managed colonies perished that year. Those unprecedented losses catapulted bees into the public eye and highlighted their important role in the natural world. As shocking as those losses were, this tragedy has repeated every year since, cementing "Save the Bees" as one of the most popular activist campaigns of the 21st century.
Honeybees were brought to North America by European explorers in the 1600s to produce the liquid gold known as honey. It wasn't until the rise of monoculture at the turn of the last century, that their sophisticated foraging behaviors were co-opted for commercial pollination services. Today, European honeybees are responsible for the successful fruiting of over one third of our produce. Before this shift, North American crop and food production relied on the services of our 4,000 native bee species (who are arguably better suited to the task).
It is true that honeybees are a more convenient commercial pollinator, but in relying solely upon them for our agricultural needs, we have put our food production system in a tenuous position with no safeguards. The very system that threatens our honeybees is also threatened by their decline. We need to adapt agricultural practices to support native pollinators, and move honeybee keeping back to a smaller scale. That's where you come in!
As any beekeeper will attest, having a big buzzing superorganism in your backyard bestows certain benefits. The intelligence that bees display on any given day is at once fascinating and humbling, the productivity inspiring and the overall experience surprisingly fulfilling. What's more, between honey and beeswax, you'll have gifts for every occasion (though it is important to keep in mind that most people do not get excess honey or wax to harvest in their first year). You may even find yourself revered as the quirky neighborhood badass! That being said, responsible beekeeping requires a commitment, and therefore may not be for everyone.
If you are looking to promote healthy bee populations and improve pollination in your community, there are many other ways to help without starting a hive. Some examples include:
- Planting native flowers
- Growing your own organic food
- Purchasing organic and local whenever possible
- Purchasing honey from local beekeepers
- Abstaining from the use of harsh chemicals to battle pests and weeds
- Providing native bee habitats (check out the Xerces Society for more about this approach!)
Still thinking about honeybees? Let's continue.
Honeybees are not completely domesticated, meaning that unlike your fearsome corgi, they do not require human support to survive. In fact, there are many feral colonies thriving in places like tree hollows without any human intervention. Still, managed honeybee colonies require good stewardship (especially in urban environments), which takes both time and knowledge.
Base-level beekeeping requires periodic inspections during the warm months to make sure your queen is laying eggs, your workers are building up honey stores, your colony has enough space to expand appropriately, and your hive is not pest or disease-ridden.
In the cold months, the colony clusters and eats through their honey stores, only emerging for "cleansing flights" on the warmest of days. Beekeepers do not inspect hives at this time of year to prevent hemorrhaging precious heat.
Management time and style will depend on your climate, your hive type, and your particular bees. All colonies are unique, and each beekeeper will have a different experience. For a baseline estimate, you can plan on 15 - 20 minutes per hive every week or two in the spring, summer and early fall.
There are no bees without blooms and no blooms without bees. Bees are florivores, which simply means they get all of their food from flowers. Their activity levels and colony populations directly coincide with the amount of flowers in bloom at any given time. Thus, honeybee seasons will vary across climates.
The easiest way to familiarize yourself with the timing of the beekeeping season in your area is to connect with other local beekeepers and beekeeping groups specific to your climate. For those of us in the Pacific Northwest, honeybee hives can be started anytime between late March and early June depending on the source of bees.
Beekeeping is quickly becoming a very popular backyard hobby, and as a result, obtaining bees and a hive can be difficult after January. Do your research, reserve your bees, and obtain all of the necessary equipment as far ahead of time as possible.
Beekeeping is dynamic, requiring flexibility to respond to a wide range of scenarios. It is your responsibility as a beekeeper to never stop learning! Pick up a book or two about beekeeping practices and bee biology. Arm yourself with an arsenal of knowledge to become the best bee steward possible!
Below are some of our favorite books to start out with. If you have already chosen a hive style, begin by reading a book geared toward that particular hive. If not, you can start with a more generalized approach!
- The Practical Beekeeper Series by Michael Bush
- Top-Bar Beekeeping by Les Crowder
- Sustainable Beekeeping with the Warre Hive by David Heaf
- Honeybee Democracy by Thomas Seeley
We also recommend checking out these honeybee documentaries:
- More than Honey
- Vanishing of the Bees
- Silence of the Bees

I have heard all too often in the past few months that this photographer or that one over there was offering such a great package it could not be passed up. When all things are equal, money is likely to be the deciding factor, as it should be. The thing is that in wedding photography, rarely are all things equal, even if it's as simple as personality differences between photographers, or as meaningful as shooting style. For argument's sake, if you consider that the money is equal, then all of a sudden the other things are maybe not so equal any more. So my advice today is make sure, especially in this economy, that you choose your favorite photographer for all the right reasons and that you assume that price may not be as much a stumbling block as you'd think. Speaking for myself only, there has not been many brides for whom I was their #1 choice that I didn't book, either because I fit nicely into their budget as-is, or because I was able to work out something special for them that allowed them to get what they wanted for a price that worked.
Please, if you like what you see on my site, enjoy what you read on the blog, in an email I send, or hear on the phone, and are moved to add me to your list of possible wedding photographer candidates, don't let your decision rest solely on an emailed price list. And by all means don't assume that what you want is impossible. Asking will never hurt, and most of the time ends up in at least three happy people; you & your fiance because you got the photographer you wanted within budget and me for getting the opportunity to work with a couple willing to risk asking a question to get what they want.
Have a great day!

Tomorrow is the Fall Equinox:The day of equal light and dark, The cusp, The crossroads, The threshold of a deepening process.
After tomorrow, The moon begins shining down earlier upon us, illuminating what we might not have wanted to see before, or just showing things to us in a different light.
This is the time of year to assess:
- What is or isn't working for you in your life?
- What needs to be let go of so that you can feel free to thrive?
Ugh. Ok, let's stop right there. [Sigh.] Even just writing that out feels heavy and sad.
This stuff is not always easy, I know. So let's do it differently. Let's find creative ways of assessing and letting go -- are you with me?
Here's an example: At last week's workshop, we delved deep into the letting go process, which again, isn't always the lightest of processes. But I had everyone do something really important: We held our "crap" - i.e. the symbols of what we were letting go of (photos, words, collages, jewelry) - and before physically letting them go into the communal trash bag, we danced with the crap and thanked it for being there. Because although some things in our lives might feel like the bane of our existence, there is a reason they are there, and there is something we can learn and grow from.
So I invite you to get clear about what your crap is, and then dance with it until you feel ready to say good-bye.
I think it can be easier and more powerful to do this with witnesses, so call up your friends and make it into a dance party. Follow these steps:
- write down what you need to let go of, what is weighing you down in your life. this is your crap.
- find an object or make an object that represents your crap.
- thank it for how it has served you and what it has taught you.
- play a kick-ass song and dance your heart out holding onto your crap.
- by the end of the song, throw your crap into a bucket, a river, a fire pit, or whatever trash receptacle is available to you.
- smile. feel free.
Here's a song you can dance to: "Shake it Out"
And here's a place where you can share your experience: Write it Out in the Box Below. And remember, although there might be "crap" in your life, it doesn't make you any less beautiful, any less perfect, just as you are.
embracing it all, jess

The worst bit when you're wearing make up in the "Uk heat" is that you need guttering for your sweat or for your make up; due to the fact that it's like a river flowing straight off my face like nobody knows by lunch time, it's like what's the point in putting any on when it comes straight off your face.
I've literally tried everything well not everything but you know what I mean; using some of the stuff that you already got to try out things to make it better, for me I've tried to do foundation, concealer, loose powder and compressed powder which is my normal routine. I have tried doing it with foundation, loose powder, compressed powder, concealer, loose powder and compressed powder.
To which it actually works because it has so many layers on it to the point of I have to sweat more if I needed to. I forget when I do my make up and stick to my normal routine because I don't do the whole system because I look outside and think yeah it be fine. Then by lunch time I just forget about how hot it can get then all of the sudden bam sweat start pouring and I'm like you plank.
You forgotten haven't you like you've been slapped around with a wet fish on your face. Anyone else have the same problem with that they sweat so much that their make up comes off their face? Could you guys let me know how you deal with it and what products you use to stop your face leaking from sweat and ruining your make up? Please let me know because I don't know how long we are going to have this awesome wether for.

Sales and marketing functions, including virtual property tours, loyalty programs, guest history and sales force automation will be among the most significant web-enablement initiatives implemented by the hospitality industry in the coming years, according to a major international study released today by Andersen, the New York University School of Continuing and Professional Studies, Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Travel Administration, and Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP).
The study, Hospitality eBusiness; The Future, also indicates that data warehousing, yield management, procurement, executive information systems and reservations will also be aggressively implemented. With regard to the volume of reservations being taken online, survey respondents reported that their current 4.9 percent ratio of Internet-based reservations should more than triple to 15.4 percent over the next three years.
Remarks Roger Cline, a partner at Andersen and co-author of the study, One of the main attractions of online distribution for hospitality companies is the opportunity to reduce the high costs of distribution they have historically faced. These expenditures are typically related to travel agency commissions, GDS fees, switching costs and the costs of their multi-faceted distribution systems. Twenty-seven percent of hospitality company executives surveyed estimated that their costs will decline by up to ten percent, and 23 percent suggested this decline might range from 11 to 20 percent.
Fifth in a series of global studies sponsored by Andersen, the New York University School of Continuing and Professional Studies, Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Travel Administration and HFTP, Hospitality eBusiness: The Future, examines some of the critical issues the hospitality industry will face in this new millennium. The research methodology consisted of a broad-ranging review of literature and a survey of hospitality executives from Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa (EMEIA), the Americas and Asia/Pacific. Following is an overview of other findings.
-- While the hospitality industry has historically been a comparatively slow adopter of the new and innovative, it is actively embracing two key areas of e-business: e-distribution and e-procurement.
-- The types of intranet platform used in the hospitality industry vary. Those that provide connectivity within hotels are reported by 59 percent of respondents; intranets that enable connectivity between hotels are reported by 44 percent; intranets that establish connectivity between hotels and a corporate office are used by 73 percent.
-- Approximately one third of hospitality organizations have an extranet that connects their organization to other businesses, such as suppliers or customers. Predictably, the ratio tends to be higher in larger organizations (42 percent) than in smaller ones (26 percent).
-- Only 58 percent of hotels surveyed have a formal e-business strategy. Of these companies, larger organizations report a higher incidence (69 percent) than do smaller ones (51 percent). From a geographic perspective, Asia/Pacific is much more proactively planning its e-business future. More than 70 percent of respondents in Asia/Pacific indicated that they have e-business strategies, followed by 66 percent in EMEIA and 55 percent in the Americas.
-- By function, sales and marketing lead the way in terms of the degree of integration into the e-business environment, followed by distribution, recruitment and procurement.
-- Seeking to access customers through the Internet, one-third of respondents reported both current and planned e-distribution relationships with portals such as AOL, Yahoo and Amazon. As to the effectiveness of these arrangements, both large and small organizations report a slightly higher than average effectiveness ratio.
Concludes Dr. Mark Warner, director for graduate programs, New York University School of Continuing and Professional Studies, Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Travel Administration, This study, as with the other Hospitality 2000 series reports, serves as milestone research to industry providing the current and future strategic view of hospitality e-business. We at the Tisch Center, believe that the areas of the evolving New Economy, e-distribution, e-procurement and e-knowledge are so important to our industry that we have added an entire four-course concentration on Hospitality e-commerce to our graduate hospitality program beginning Fall 2001.

You know you've hit gold at the National Arts Festival when you see six back-to-back shows and there's very little to complain about. And the word on the street is that almost every show is getting rousing applause.
The crowds on Friday started converging in full force in the city with a big heart that's loaded with culture in every shape, way and form.
A pre-show walk and browse through the Village Green also demonstrated that there is craft aplenty from as far as Hartenbos in the Overberg, to made right here in Joza township.
On the formal stages there were highlights all round. Two time Emmy award winner Loyiso Gola returned to the Fringe with his a new show challenging all the norms we shouldn't take for granted - politics, race, history and the more mundane issues of everyday life. It all slips out so effortlessly - satirical wit aplenty to be taken with a little pinch of salt.
Loyiso Madinga is another comedian to watch as he takes on the Guptas and others that are just their own victims of their ridiculousness. Nothing but nothing in life and South Africa in particular is left sacred. The good news is that for festival-goers you can still catch them for the rest of the weekend.
On a more serious note, Jemma Kahn's simply brilliant The Borrow Pit is a fascinating look at two controversial artists Lucien Freud and Francis Bacon and their troubled lives and interactions with their partners who were also their muses. She cleverly and masterfully uses the ancient art of kamishibai in which painting and photographs are printed on pull out boards - a genius way of illustrating the surround action on stage.
From art to dance, Mamela Nyamza's work is not the kind you simply take lying down. In an interview she once said her aim is not to simply entertain but to get audiences out of their comfort zones.
This year's National Featured Artist, the acclaimed, the provocative, the incredibly talented Nyamza Friday night flighted Hatched, the sequel to Hatch, which she aired 10 years ago - a highly personal work about being a mother. Her son Amkele Mandla appears with her, drawing and rapping.
Audiences in a packed auditorium were also treated to an exquisite showcase from the Cape Dance Company called Interplay where classic and more contemporary and cutting edge dance were masterfully performed.
Mthuthuzeli November's superbly choreographed The Rite of Passage (assisted by Lee van der Merwe) was a fine example of coordinated movement, strength and skilled dancing about the journey into adulthood which left the audience appreciatively cheering.
This was just a smattering of the 200 plus shows that were flighted Friday. Saturday and Sunday's programme is jam-packed too.
On Saturday I am looking forward to listening to jazz ladies Zenzi Makeba Lee and Amanda Tiffin, who have spoken for years about getting together and now are finally doing it.
Zenzi is the granddaughter of Miriam Makeba and she and Tiffin have amazing credentials between the two of them and are sure to rustle up things on stage. Later on tenor sax supremo Sisonke Xonti will chill late night audiences among other musos scheduled to perform in a varied programme.
You can also get hypnotised by Dr Stef, orgo on a range of art walkabouts conducted by the artists themselves and also take in a range of kid's shows from The Magic Jewel to Jukebox Junior, and be entranced by the classic story of The Little Prince written by Antoine de Saint Exupery about a man taking on his inner child.

The hottest news in the ski world is the long awaited creation of a link between the Lech-Zurs and Sankt Anton am Arlberg, cradle of Alpine skiing. Ski Arlberg just announced that the cableway will open in November 2016. In total four high-speed, ten-seater gondolas have been built to link Lech, Zürs, Stuben, St. Christoph, St. Anton and Schröcken Warth, forming Austria's largest continuous ski resort with 87 railways and lifts and 305 km of ski pistes.
From Zürs, the Trittkopfbahn I leads to the new intermediate station, from where skiers may either continue to the new top station of Trittkopfbahn II or use the new Flexenbahn to carry on to Alpe Rauz in Stuben. From here, the other new cableway, Albonabahn II, will invite skiers to continue to Stuben. In addition, skiers starting out from Alpe Rauz can conveniently explore the St. Christoph and St. Anton skiing areas. This means that all resorts of the Arlberg skiing area – St. Anton and St. Christoph, Stuben, Zürs, Lech, Oberlech as well as Schröcken and Warth – will be easily and comfortably accessible on skis.
The cableway runs high above Flexenpassstraße road, covering a distance of almost 1.8 kilometres and an altitude difference of over 562 metres. The cableway consists of 47 cabins for 10 persons each. This means that, with a travel time of about 6 minutes, the cableway can transport up to 2400 persons per hour. Each of the comfortable cabins has large panorama panes, offering an unobstructed view into the Klostertal valley and towards the Arlberg pass/St. Christoph. Enjoy the breath-taking landscape before hitting the next ski run.
With the new Flexenbahn, a spectacular skiing run will be created: The new "Run of Fame" has been dedicated to the Arlberg skiing stars and boosts the skiing experience to a maximum of 65 downhill skiing kilometres and an incredible altitude difference of 18,000 metres. The skiing run leads across the Arlberg and takes in the entire dimension of the fully connected skiing area – from Warth in the north via Lech Zürs with the new Flexenbahn to St. Anton/Rendl in the south – the entire Arlberg skiing area will be covered. In addition, once a year there will be a "Hunt of Fame" – a top class ski race along the new skiing run on the Arlberg.
The Arlberg is a major ski region, but this new series of connections makes it one of the largest in the world, overtaking the French regions of Val d'Isère/Tignes Espace Killy and Grand Massif. The new Arlberg's exact size ranking is a little uncertain, since some of the claims of the larger ski areas around the world are disputed.
The Flexenbahn is not just a plus for skiers, but also for the environment. It will reduce bus traffic between Zürs and Rauz by 120 trips a day and cut the number of cars in the villages, as more skiers use Rauz for their park & ride.

Domestic Abuse
Every person has the right to feel safe in their home. Anyone can experience domestic abuse; it can happen in all kinds of relationships and for any reason regardless of age, race, gender, religion, sexuality, disability, wealth, locality and lifestyle.

· Physical attacks
· Emotional abuse
· Financial control
· Threats
· Harassment
· Social isolation

Leonardo DiCaprio Tends His Broken Heart With Model(s)
Straight from a very recent break-up with the Gossip Girl star,Blake Lively, LEONARDO DiCaprio is reportedly back in the dating arena.
Many might have rejoiced his break-up with Lively,however, their happiness is short-lived just as Leonardo is not available on the singles' market!
The 36-year-old actor is dating model Madalina Ghenea. The Titanic box-office actor was seen entertaining the Romanian model/actress at a rented mansion in Sydney,Australia.
DiCaprio is currently filming "The Great Gatsby" and stays in the same rented mansion while he is in the country.
Australia's Daily Telegraph revealed,Ghenea was seen apparently enjoying herself paddleboarding on the harbor just outside the waterfront property and later changed into a sexy bikini and joined Leonardo on the balcony.
What a tough competition there is to become Leonardo DiCaprio's lady love! Right after his separation with his ex-girlfriend Blake for five moths, the actor was spotted,on different occasions though, with two other models.
Leo has been romancing the Australia's Next Top Model contestant Alyce Crawford and is said to be charming the moons out on 20-year-old catwalk beauty Kendal Schuler – who recently separated from Australian Celebrity Apprentice contestant Didier Cohen.
"Leo has told her she can visit any time she likes as long as she keeps it low key. She has taken him up on that opportunity already a couple of times," a source said.
"But she isn't silly — she knows this isn't serious and she is just enjoying the time with him."Get free updates directly to your e-mail from Showbiz Renegade. Just enter your e-mail below and confirm your subscription by clicking the link that will be sent to your e-mail.

After eight full months of preparation, it feels like our 11th annual 2017 New York City Season came and went in a blink of an eye. It's been two weeks since the show wrapped and I've given myself the space to reflect back on the season and want to share my thoughts and thanks you's to all of my friends, family, patrons, and everyone who came out to see the show and support ETD.
This was our second year back at The Martha Graham Studio Theater and it is definitely becoming a home for ETD's performances. As I have shared in the past, when I first moved to New York City, the 11th floor of the iconic Westbeth building was home to the Merce Cunningham Dance Company (1971-2011). As a young dancer, in the early 1990's, I was in awe of Cunningham and quickly got involved in the work study program at MCDC. I remember cleaning the studio, working the front desk and helping archive costumes by Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol and JasperJohns to name a few. My time at Cunningham was magical and to now have my own company years later and be performing in the same place where my career started brings tears to my eyes. Now home to The Martha Graham Dance Company I'm still drawn to the energy in that room - there is no denying it! I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Kyle Henning, Tiger, and all of the staff at Martha Graham for welcoming us with open arms and providing support throughout the prep!
This year, we began a new and exciting partnership with MAC Cosmetics. Back in June, ETD partnered with nonprofit organization, Lantern Community Services, to put on a performance by its' residents during the Harlem Arts Stroll. MAC graciously donated their services to us and thus began the beginning of our sponsorship. For the NYC Season, MAC sent us two incredible make-up artists, Nicole and Krista. They arrived two hours before each show and meticulously worked on each dancer to create six cohesive and theatrical looks. We are so grateful for their artistry. Thank you girls and thank you MAC for continuing to support dance in NYC!
On opening night, immediately following the performance, I invited the audience to the back studio for a reception to toast the Season & year. I can't thank Eric Gunhus (EG Event Group) enough for making this special evening happen and my sincerest thanks to Eden of The Deutsch Family and Fleur de Prairie for sponsoring our celebration and providing the delectable wine!
I met lighting designer, Jason Fok, in 2015 when he inquired about collaborating with ETD on designing the lights for our show, but it wasn't until this year that we had the opportunity to work together. He attended a few rehearsals and from the start we were on the same page aesthetically. Each piece he designed the lighting plot for was exactly how I imagined it in my head and I'm excited to keep working and collaborating with him. Emily Brown was our Stage Manager and she kept us on track and went above and beyond supporting the company. It was her first gig in NYC so, understandably, I was a little apprehensive, but I instinctively could tell she was very professional, calm, and collected. Our ASM, Meghan Dechaine, jumped on board and I really appreciate her chill vibe and her assertive professionalism. Tiger, who works for Martha Graham, was our Technical Director and he obviously knows the space top to bottom and his expertise made the technical aspects of our show breeze by. I'm so grateful and couldn't have asked for a better technical team.
Professional dance photographers and videographers who can successfully shoot dance are hard to find but fortunately for us, photographer, Hunter Canning, and videographer, Jesse Itkowiz, are pros. Hunter captured the essence of each piece and he made it very difficult to pick "the selects" from the shoot and I can't wait to see the edited video footage. Keep an eye out for their work on our site!
Congratulations to my dancers who stayed focused and professional for the entire run. My process is all about collaboration so without their dedication to ETD, the season wouldn't have been a success. Their drive and determination to create movement inspires me everyday. Thank you Taylor, AJ, Chris, Graham, Alex, and Nicole for working so hard to bring life to the work and making this year's season so incredible. Bravo!
Thanks a million to Douglas Sills of Sills Foundation for commissioning our new work, "Cycles". I'm forever grateful for his support and happy to dedicate "Cycles" to his foundation in perpetuity. Also many thanks for the generous support from Ron Walker of The Marta Heflin Foundation and to my marvelous partner Michel Wallerstein for his continued love and support and for believing in me and ETD.
Most people don't realize that half of the work it takes to produce a show is all of the administrative and daily operations. I'm forever thankful to Nicole Baker for keeping the company on track, managing, scheduling, running rehearsals and for her creative input and passion for dance. She always stays positive even when my spirits are down. Lastly, my operations manager, Andrew Tran and fabulous publicist, Adria Rolnick worked overtime to advertise, market and publicize the season. We were sold out every show and without them, and my incredible team, none of this would be possible. I feel very blessed to be living my dream as an Artistic Director of ETD for 11 years and I look forward to all that lies ahead for the company. Stay tuned for a full report when ETD returns from our upcoming tour on November 14-20 to Merida, Mexico.

Reconciliation? Not Exactly/
You may have seen this now-iconic photo, taken in 1913 on the 50th anniversary of Gettysburg. The standard trope is that these aging veterans, shaking hands across the battlefield's "Bloody Angle," had let battles be bygones. America, the photo seemed to suggest, had gotten beyond the Civil War.
As the keynoter of a recent conference sponsored by Virginia Tech, Caroline Janney, author of Remembering the Civil War: Reunion and the Limits of Reconciliation, presented a different interpretation on post-War reconciliation.
One telling observation she shared: This image notwithstanding, most of the photos from the event in the National Park Service archives show veterans in their own camps, not freely mingling with each other. Thus, this staged photo, according to Janney, did not represent the on-the-ground reality at the reunion, or in other settings.
Maintaining Memories
Veterans from both sides kept their respective causes alive through memoirs, cemeteries, and separate organizations. The G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) was a powerful bulwark of the Republican Party with posts, or chapters, throughout the north. While Confederate veterans could not formally organize in the years right after the war, they kept the spirit of the Lost Cause alive, forming the United Confederate Veterans in the late 1880s.
Popular culture sought to erase the differences, according to Janney, as much for economic reasons as anything else. For example, a magazine called Battles & Leaders "sanitized" the war in order to build a nationwide audience.
A few reunions took place before the 1913 event pictured above. One of the first took place between vets in 1881 in Luray, VA, and Carlisle, PA. (Janney maintained the Carlisle vets were particularly interested in the event in order to see the newly opened Luray Caverns.) Such meetings received media attention precisely because they were infrequent.
Emancipation and Racism
African Americans fought against slavery and for equality, the latter of which did not come to fruition.
Most Northern white veterans did not connect the war with a path to civil rights. Racism and inequality permeated society in all parts of the country. Still, Union veterans strongly maintained that they fought to end slavery.
Southern veterans also addressed the slavery issue. At an 1895 dedication near Chickamauga (the first "national monument" to honor both sides), Alabama Governor William Oates started out extolling the "fraternal meeting and participation." Soon he was pointing out that slavery had been legal at the time, that masters were bound to provide "healthful food and clothing," that slavery was necessary as a transition for blacks to freedom, etc.
Women's Role
Confederate women, Janney said, kept the flames of sectionalism alive in the South. In the North, the Women's Relief Corps existed but it did not seem to have the force of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
Men, although the reunions were tenuous as noted above, did share the common bond of war experience. Moreover, in the world of politics and commerce, they had more frequent contact with each other and had to find ways to co-exist. Women, most of whom remained in their "sphere," did not have this necessity.
One of Janney's examples: successful lobbying for erection of a statue a Confederate Memorial at Arlington Cemetery in the early 1900s. Its figures include "faithful black slaves" (as described by the sculptor).
Not just history....
The conference was not just on reconciliation after the Civil War, but after civil wars (plural, lower case). It was co-convened by Virginia Tech's Center for Civil War Studies and Center for Peace Studies and Violence Prevention. The other keynoter: Joseph Sebarenzi, on post-genocide Rwanda.
And as Janney pointed out, the 19th-century U.S. issues are with us today. Use of the Confederate flag? Names of streets? Statues? We still debate reconciliation.

According to our readings this week, no. At least that was the impression I got from the "Crowdforcing" article. Sharing sounds more like an abomination than anything, when it's shown in the light David Golumbia provides. (And no, sir, I do not believe you've "suggest[ed] the shape of a problem" so much as attacked the idea of digital sharing with a blunt force object, but that's beside the point.) Though I found Golumbia's wordiness and excessive efforts to sound intelligent rather exhausting, he made some valid points that should be taken into consideration when it comes to online "sharing."
The whole idea of "crowdforcing" is frankly unnerving, especially when it comes to personal information. The Facebook example he used stood out in particular to me, because I've heard of people taking pictures from Facebook and posting them to their own profiles. Not only is the tagging system for photos basically in every user's hands, but since we only have real control over our own profiles, it'd be hard to stop someone from sharing photos or other information we wouldn't want shared otherwise. I remember a news story once that kind of goes in tandem with this issue; some creepy dude got caught taking pictures of someone else's young daughter off the mother's Facebook, and he pretended the little girl was his, reposting the pictures and adding comments as if he was her father. That might be a bit beyond Golumbia's idea of "crowdforcing", but it still exemplifies what sharing things online makes possible for strangers to do to personal data.
The fact that "crowdforcing" can cause gain for some and harm for others ties into the reading about copyright issues as well. Having a kind of "crowdforcing" mentality creates a false assumption that if, say, an artist were to post a drawing on their personal blog, someone else could pluck up that drawing and repost it without the artist's permission. I've seen that kind of thing happen all the time, and what makes it sad is that the reposters tend to get popularity for simply posting the work that isn't theirs, while the original artist doesn't get the credit they deserve. Though online artists don't always have "official" copyright on their work, it's still violating them to steal their art and use it as if its creator didn't matter. I know the "fair use" policy crops up in a lot of places online, particularly Youtube, and while I think it's fair enough to use art or other media if the intent isn't to make a profit, getting permission from the creator is still important. I can only imagine how big of a punch in the gut it would be to see your own artwork on someone else's website, getting five times as much attention as the original should have.
So in the long and the short of it, I suppose sharing is caring so long as whoever's stuff you're sharing knows about it. And agrees to it. In as explicit phrasing as possible. It's the same concept as "borrowing" something when you're actually just stealing it because you thought it was pretty and never wanted to give it back in the first place. Sharing ideas and media online can help spread enthusiasm, get discussions going, and just improve communities in general. But don't slap the creator of that video or show or album in the face by erasing them from existence. Give credit where credit is due.

In regards to Google Analytics accounts, there are usually going to be several individuals that have access to them, and each of them that have various levels of access to said accounts. Overseeing all those individual permissions (since people are always coming and going) is becoming easy with the introduction of user groups in Google Analytics.
Last week, it was announced that user groups can be used to organize access and control product permissions across entire teams. In order to gain access to this feature, the organization you're apart of has to be subscribed to at least one Google Analytics 360 Suite product.
According to a Google spokesperson, "We built user groups at the [Google Analytics] 360 Suite organization level so they can be shared across many accounts, and in the future, many Suite products."
Here's how to set up a user group in Google Analytics:
- Navigate to the User Management section from the Admin page, which can be found by clicking on the gear icon at the bottom of the left-hand navigation.
- Then click on the plus sign icon in the upper right corner and select "Add new groups."
If you currently don't have a 360 Suite Organization account made and linked to Analytics, a notice will appear that says that you'll have to set the company up as a new Analytics 360 Suite organization.
In order to create a 360 Suite Organization account, you have to be a user on at least one of the 360 Suite product accounts, like Tag Manager, Analytics or Optimize.
After getting the user groups are enabled and set up, it's possible to assign permissions for the 360 Suite and for individual product accounts within the Suite. Any member of a group will inherit that group's permissions and keep what ever permissions they have seperately.
If you want to learn more about structuring user groups, see the help center page.
