Deadline: January 31, 2016
The Berlin "International Forum for doctoral candidates of art history of Eastern Europe" already goes into the third round. The previous events (in 2014 and 2015) have shown us that young researchers all over the world working in this field feel the strong need to have a direct and lively exchange on specific conceptual issues and methodological problems of art historical area studies in the region of Eastern, East Central and South Eastern Europe across different epochs.
With the forum we have initiated an open platform for this purpose, and the annual meetings are intended to offer a constant opportunity and space to exchange ideas and experiences, to make contact, to bring together expertise and to establish networks. Moreover, current research projects – and over the years advancements and alterations – can be presented on the homepage of the forum, and PhD students working on similar topics can locate each other and build up networks also via our social media group.
Doctoral candidates dealing with a topic in East European art history (or a neighboring discipline) are cordially invited – explicitly also those who came to Berlin in 2014 and 2015 already. If you are interested in taking part in the event, please send us a paper outlining the subject and issue of your dissertation project as well as possibly the sources it is based on and the methodology applied. Dependent on the thematic focuses resulting from the papers submitted we will select ca. 8 contributions for twenty-minute presentations. The other participants will have the opportunity to introduce themselves and their topics briefly (5 minutes). Important to us is to have plenty of time for discussion and the exchange of ideas. The languages of the conference are German and English.
Ideally, all papers will be available for the participants as printed copies and subsequent to the event will be published with basic contact details on our website.
Please submit your proposal:
- of ca. 4000 characters (including blanks)
- as a doc or docx, no PDF
- indicating your contact details
- and a brief information whether you agree with the publication of your paper
by January 31, 2016 to Prof. Dr. Michaela Marek and Jan Elantkowski
The forum is organized by the Chair of Art History of Eastern and East Central Europe, Humboldt University Berlin and will take place on April 29, 2016, in Berlin, Humboldt Graduate School. Contributors will be granted a travel allowance.

Partnering with The National Tooling and Machining Association
New Century Careers has teamed up with the Pittsburgh Chapter of the National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA) to provide our region's manufacturers and individuals with a proven metalworking apprenticeship related instruction program.
The Apprenticeship Program is designed to provide related instruction classes to support on-the-job training provided by employers. Classroom training is offered at convenient locations in both Allegheny and Westmoreland counties. While the instruction is open to anyone who would like to register for this four year program, apprentices who would like to earn their journeyman's papers must also be registered with his or her employer's qualified Pennsylvania apprenticeship program for on-the-job training. As a result of the NTMA Apprenticeship Program, both parties benefit in the form of wage increases for individuals and a highly skilled workforce for manufacturers.
Learn more about the Apprenticeship Program from the links below.Employers Students
2020-2021 Pittsburgh Chapter NTMA Apprenticeship Classes will begin in September 2020.

According to the technology blog 9to5mac Beijing time on August 9 reported that although Apple has not spent a quiet first half, but the second half or the last three months of attention will be higher. With a variety of flagship new products coming soon, fruit powder will usher in an exciting second half. So far this year, Apple has launched several new hardware products. Apple released earlier this year, Red Special Edition iPhone 7 together with the launch of the new cheap version of iPad
Since then, Apple has updated the iMac product line and launched the 10.5-inch iPad Pro.
However, for fruit powder, good play has just begun, because Apple this year there are many products released. First is the new generation of iPhone. Apple is ready to release iPhone 8, iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus in September. Among them, iPhone 7s series mobile phone design and the current iPhone 7 series models are expected, but will have new features, may use the back of the glass design. The news on these two models did not iPhone 8 so much, but they are expected to become cheaper iPhone models.
External attention on the iPhone 8, the phone is expected to use OLED screen, using a new ultra-narrow frame design, support for wireless charging and other functions. IPhone 8 will become Apple's high-end models, the price will be more than 1,000 US dollars. Although the initial listing may be limited, but the iPhone 8 is expected to be available in September.
Apple Watch / HomePod / iMac Pro
In addition, Apple is likely to release the new Apple Watch Series 3. So far, Apple's new watch information is not much, but in recent days the report provides some clues. Bloomberg said it will support LTE wireless connectivity, which means it can run more independently of the iPhone.
Another report said Apple's new Apple Watch this year will use the "new design." It is not clear what this means, but it will be Apple Watch since the release of the first major design adjustment.
Apple will also be at the end of the sale of smart speakers HomePod. Apple released HomePod at the Global Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, but it will not be sold until December. HomePod based on voice assistant Siri, with a small screen at the top, integrated Apple Music music service, priced at $ 349.
HomePod firmware code also seems to confirm the existence of the 4K version of Apple TV. Compared with the competitor's set-top box, 4K is Apple's product line in a clear gap, so Apple is expected in this year's TV set-top box to support higher resolution.
The last is iMac Pro. Apple has previewed this desktop on the WWDC this summer, known as "the most powerful Mac ever," and for the first time demonstrated iMac's space gray color.
IMac Pro is equipped with four Thunderbolt 3 interfaces, supports up to two 5K monitors, equipped with 1080P FaceTime camera, support real-time 3D rendering. Other configurations include a 5K display, 8-core Xeon processor, Radeon Vega graphics card, 32GB ECC memory, support 10GB Ethernet.
IMac Pro will be available in December, starting at $ 4,999, but early estimates show that a full-featured iMac Pro may cost as much as $ 17,000.
Although Apple's second half of the general led by the new iPhone, but this year is somewhat different. Although the iPhone's attention is still the highest, but this year there HomePod, Apple Watch and iMac Pro, not to mention iOS 11, watchOS 4, tvOS 11 and macOS High Sierra and other new systems.

Tuesday, Mar 17, 1998
South San Francisco, Calif. -- March 17, 1998 --Genentech, Inc. (NYSE: GNE) today announced the filing of a suit for patent infringement and a declaratory judgment of patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Centocor, Inc. of Malvern, Pennsylvania. In the suit, Genentech is seeking a permanent injunction and damages.
The suit alleges that Centocor's sale, offer for sale, use and importation of Retavase (Reteplase, recombinant) tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) product in the United States infringes two newly issued Genentech patents -- U.S. Patent No. 5,728,565 and U.S. Patent No. 5,728,566, both of which relate to variant forms of t-PA. Genentech manufactures and markets Activase® (Alteplase, recombinant) t-PA product.
Genentech, which pioneered t-PA research in the 1980s, has carefully evaluated the patent situation and firmly believes that Centocor infringes these patents. "The two new patents strengthen our existing patent situation with respect to t-PA products like Retavase," said Stephen Juelsgaard, Genentech vice president and general counsel.
Centocor announced last week that it had completed its previously announced acquisition of the U.S. and Canadian product rights for Retavase from Roche Healthcare Limited, an affiliate of Roche Holding, Ltd. Roche acquired those rights as part of its recently completed purchase of Corange Ltd. (parent company of Boehringer Mannheim, the manufacturer of Retavase).
Separately, Genentech will continue its patent infringement litigations against Boehringer Mannheim relating to Retavase that are ongoing in the U.S. District Court in Boston and in Germany.
Genentech, Inc. is a leading biotechnology company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets human pharmaceuticals for significant unmet medical needs. Eleven of the currently marketed biotechnology products stem from Genentech science. Genentech markets or promotes eight biotechnology products in the United States. The company has headquarters in South San Francisco, California and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange and Pacific Exchange under the symbol GNE.

After you run Eyes visual UI tests, you use the test results page to see the outcome of the test runs, and if necessary, to update the test baselines.
Using the controls and tools on this page you can you can analyze the results of the test run by filtering, sorting and grouping the information in various ways. You can look at, and compare the baseline and checkpoint images. You can accept a checkpoint image so that it will become the new baseline image. Alternatively, you can reject a step, indicating that the step failed, and you can assign the test to a team member for further action.
You open this page using the page navigatorThe Page navigator is a control at the top of the Test manager window that is used to switch between the main pages of the Test manager. It also displays the name of the current page. Test result menu entry.
The test results page is divided vertically into two panels. On the left, you can see the batch list - a list of all the batchesTwo or more test runs can be grouped together as a "batch" using the SDK set batch method/property. In the Eyes Test Manager Test result page, you can see a list of all the batches that have run, you select the batch and can then see the tests that ran in that batch. Eyes Test Manager provides has various features that allow you to operate on a subset of the batch tests or steps as a whole. run by your team. When you click on any entry in the batch list, it becomes the current batch, and the main panel shows information on the test results of that batch. The information you can see depends on the view you select using the view selector - each view focuses on a different aspect of the test results (Batch level, tests, steps and issues & results). See The test results views below for more about what you can see and do in each view.
The batches in the list are ordered time-wise, with the most recently run test first. Since the batch list can be very long, it is updated only when you scroll further down the list.
Each entry in the batch list displays the batch name, the date and time the batch started running and a batch status (Running, Passed, Failed - see Understanding the batch status). There is also an indication if you have started resolving the tests but have not yet saved the results and a checkbox that is used to select the batch for deletion.
When you click a batch in the list, it becomes the current batch and information about that batch will be displayed in the main panel.
At the top of the main panel there is a panel that provides information about the currently selected batch:
The information displayed includes the name of the current batch, when the first test in the batch started, how long it took to run and how many tests there are in the batch. Then there is a breakdown of the number of tests in different states: unresolved, aborted, failed, new, running, passed, or have issues. Only values that are non-zero are displayed. The state labels also function as quick filters that you can click to show all test results matching that state.
The current batch status (Passed, Failed and so on) and save state are also displayed here - See Test and batch status more details.
You can rename the current batch by hovering over its name, clicking on it and typing in a new name - see How to rename a batch for more details.
The save changes to baseline button will "pulse" when you have made changes and have not yet saved them to the baseline.
Click on the button to save all the tests. If you don't want to update the baselines of all the tests (since this will immediately impact tests when they next run), then in test details view, select Save selected test to baseline in the sub-menu opened when you hover over this button.
Since tests can be running in the background, the information on this page may not be up-to-date. Both the batch toolbar and the test toolbar have a button. If these indicators rotate, then this means that more information is available on the server. Click on the button and the panel associated with that button will be updated.
The current batch toolbar contains buttons that allow you to select the current view:
The other buttons in the toolbar View selector always contain the same buttons, but some of the operations are only enabled in some of the views, others behave slightly differently in each view. The buttons are described in the view documentation.
In the test detail and step details views, you can see thumbnail images steps. In the test details view, these are initially hidden, and you can see all the steps of any test by clicking on the test. In the step details view, you can filter and group the steps by various criteria.
You can open the test and step editors from any of the views that display a step thumbnail. Clicking on the thumbnail will open up the Step editor. You can open the Test editor using the step thumbnail menu. The main difference between the Test editor and the Step editor is that the Test editor allows you to navigate through all the steps in a test, whereas the step editor allows you to step through all the steps in a batch, taking into account any filtering and grouping that you have applied to the Test results page.

Writing Tip #4 : Write first, revise later
Don't try to generate text and revise it all at once; these require different skills and focus. Those who try to write excellent text at first draft invariably write nothing or very little. After your first draft, put it away for a few days then come back to it and revise. Revise, revise, revise and keep revising your article — you will have a great article in the end.
Even for this small piece of writing( this Writing Tips postings), I did it over a period of time as well. Going through the same process as I mentioned in the last few posts and will reiterate in the future posts. The same thing—you write and then revise,revise and revise. As non-English writers we have to admit our limitation with the language. You can never be perfect but through a proper process the errors will be minimized, that's all.
It's also a good practice to let someone read your article before you send it out to a journal or a conference. Pick someone who is familiar with the subject, who can understand the terms and the process , to read your article.

Yup, I'm back to not updating this regularly. Shocked, aren't you? 🙂
What I have been doing in my rare spare time is playing a lot of The Show 09 on the PS3. The other night I downloaded someone's roster set that had what they called "All Time Teams" for each team. I assumed this would consist of 25 of the best of all time for each team. That's about half right. Most teams had their best players but also had a smattering of current scrubs taking up roster spots. Plus, the ratings were all WAY too high.
So I've decided to take it upon myself to take this roster file and actually make it correct. What I plan on doing is going through for each team and setting a roster that I consider to be their actual All Time Team. Pretty ambitious, huh?
The hardest part for me is coming up with each team's 25 man roster. You would think there would be somewhere on the internet where some place like TSN, ESPN, or SI has actually surveyed people and posted each team's best. But I can't find it. So I'm openly asking if any of you would like to help contribute. After you pick a team to do, here is what I would need…
- 25 man roster for your chosen team
- Players eligible for your team should have played more years for that team than any other. For example, Frank Robinson played 10 years for the Reds and 6 years with the Orioles. So in my roster set, Frank ends up in Cincinnati.
- At least one player from each position
- Bench players should make sense (don't make every bench player an OF)
- Five starting pitchers
- One closer
- Bullpen can be made up of left over starters or actual relief pitchers
Seems simple enough, right? If I get some interest from here, I will plan on documenting my progress and giving credit where credit is due.

For people who have tooth loss or teeth that cannot be restored, there may be a variety of treatments including dental implants open to them.
Loss of a tooth can have many long-term effects, affecting a patient's dental functionality, looks and potentially self-confidence too. Until recently, dental implants in Southampton were an expensive, long and intricate procedure, only available to patients with complex clinical situations and those able to invest significant sums of money. Various clinics offer dental implants, including Smilemakers Dental Implant Clinic.
But over recent years, technology has advanced so that dental implants are accessible to many more patients, enabling them to benefit from this dental innovation. Even if multiple teeth have been lost, it may be possible to tackle this using dental implants in Southampton.
How do dental implants work?
A dental implant replaces the missing tooth's root. They are usually made from titanium, a metal with biosimilar properties that enables bone and blood vessels to grow around it, creating a firm base.
Dental implants usually have a thread or other connection to allow one or more teeth to be attached, thus replacing the missing ones. A dental implant can either replace one tooth, several teeth, or even a whole arch using several implants. In cases where the jawbone is no longer strong enough to support an implant there are still options available, including procedures to build up the jawbone using bone grafts, or even anchoring the implant into the cheekbone.
The stability of the crown, bridge, denture or other component attached to the implant depends on how the new implant anchors to the bone. Generally, this process takes several weeks or months.
Who is suitable for dental implants?
Dental implants are appropriate for most adults who have good general health. They are not suitable for younger patients whose jawbone have not stopped growing. General good health promotes good bone healing, so additional issues such as gum disease usually need to be treated before a dental implant can be done.
If a patient has tooth loss, it is important that they understand the benefits of dental implants before making any decisions. They should also discuss their wishes and needs with a dental practice with experience in dental implants in Southampton.

Now with the advantage of a little hindsight, the most memorable impression of our cruise of the Polynesian South Pacific was not the extravagantly luxurious meals, not the personal service always at hand, not even the bantering with fellow passengers. It was the vast expanse of the Pacific that could only be fully comprehended by experience.
The Pacific, our professor explained, is the world's largest desert, as barren as the Sahara, with no more than an occasional fish swimming through the huge expanse. Only near the shorelines are there enough nutrients from the land's effluvia to support significant marine life. Sailing across the Pacific is as bleak as crossing the Sahara by camel.
The ship moved rapidly through the water, surprisingly rapid for such a large object. The wind from the ship's speed was so strong I removed my hearing aids before going on deck for fear they would blow off. Leaning over the railing into the roar, I could see the bow waves violently thrown to the side and quickly sliding past the stern. Huge, broad swells generated thousands of miles away approached off the port bow, slowly rolling the ship first to one side and then the other. As the ship returned to center, it would briefly shudder—jung, jung, jung—then smooth out as it rolled to the other side. It did this day and night, night and day, jung, jung, jung . . . jung, jung, jung . . . jung, jung, jung. Eating, reading, sleeping, we could always feel the vibrations counting off the distance.
I would awake about three in the morning, still adjusting to the time change, and would go out on deck and look over the black water. I had to lean into the wind and hold tightly to the railing, the violent bow wave still roaring past the stern, the ship still shuddering with every roll, still charging through the water with awesome strength.
The ship continued on without change for days on end as we traveled from Honolulu to Moorea, below the equator. (MOE-oh-ray-a. In Polynesian, every vowel is pronounced individually.) The horizon formed a constant, impenetrable platter around the ship of deep cobalt blue with flecks of whitecaps. We never saw another ship, or airplane, or any sign of other humanity. Our tiny chunk of isolated civilization was racing through eternity on our own mahayana.
This was the expanse of the South Pacific.
Then, suddenly without warning, the volcanic mountains of of Moorea are suddenly there, jumping out of the water. We call out excitedly to others, leaning over the railing, straining to see the unfamiliar land, pointing, laughing, and cheering like sailors of long ago. Break out the grog, someone.
The sight was beautiful. You have seen it, too. Moorea is the island used to represent Bali Hai in the movie South Pacific, the island Bloody Mary dreamily points to in the distance (cue music), the island the servicemen long to visit, the metaphor for all of our desires. And we are there.
If you try, you'll find me,
Where the sky meets the sea.
Here am I, your special island.
Come to me. Come to me.

Of course, I was thrilled and delighted to learn that I was first nominated and then later shortlisted for the NAACE Secondary Impact Award. Although I curl-up cringing at the whole notion of "blowing my own trumpet" – I hope that just the shortlisting alone might raise the profile of some of my activities (not necessarily my own profile). I have had a truly amazing time these last 12 months working with some really fabulous, talented people to help engage and inspire children and adults in the field of Computing Science. Nobody can achieve anything like this on their own, so awarding one person does not seem right. I wholeheartedly encourage others to borrow, steal or copy my ideas so that you can experience the same joy and satisfaction that I have. As part of the NAACE awards process, I am required to provide a supporting statement, so – just before you start reading it – do you mind if I go and hide somewhere? …
Hack To The Future is a series of events that Alan started in 2012 to enable the digital creators of today to inspire the digital creators of tomorrow. The first event, 12 months ago attracted 365 children, families, teachers, software & hardware developers from all over England on a freezing cold Saturday in the February half term. The BBC made a film about the event and news spread fast. The two subsequent events in March and October attracted 480 digital creators of all ages, including trainee teachers from Edge Hill University. Other schools and colleges have been inspired to share the same success and have held their own Hack To The Future events, Alan is continually supporting other teachers to help facilitate these. Many teachers have commented on how the event transformed their own pupils' expectations and seen this lead to more girls choosing to study ICT & Computing at GCSE. Born out of this, Alan wrote and recorded his Hack Rap which to date has reached nearly 5000 downloads.
Raspberry Jam is the global network of events that Alan conceived in July 2011 to enable children, parents, teachers and industry experts to discover the potential of the Raspberry Pi as a learning tool. Within six months, 40 events were held in the UK with 1287 attendees, and the jam had spread from Manchester to Melbourne and Singapore to Silicon Valley with 29,000 visitors to the http://www.RaspberryJam.org.uk site. Worldwide, many individuals have been inspired to set up their own Raspberry Jams including 15 year old Robert Buchan-Terry who set one up in his school in Machynlleth in Wales. The Raspberry Jam site includes a DIY event planning guide as well as videos of talks and demonstrations from previous events. The network continues to spread with growing support of teachers who see these events as an effective way to engage people of all ages in computing science.
Raspberry Jamboree is the conference that Alan is planning to enable educators to unlock the learning potential of the Raspberry Pi computer. As well as the 340 attendees that have registered to attend the event on March 9th 2013, the talks will be recorded and streamed live around the world to share and spread good practice among educators.
In the last 12 months, with his Teach Computing training days, Alan has provided the means for 132 teachers to develop their capacity to teach computing science through the use of free, open source tools such as Scratch & Python. These courses have consistently received outstanding feedback from attendees and courses are oversubscribed. As well as face-to-face training, Alan has published free resources for teachers to use to develop Computing Science in their classroom, the 'Teach Python from Year 7' resource has been downloaded over 900 times. In the same 12 month period, 175 teachers attended the free hub meetings that Alan organised after school, where he has encouraged other teachers to share and develop their expertise.
On his Teach Computing blog, Alan has laid open both his failures and successes in an honest manner, hoping that others will benefit from the sharing of these experiences – this blog has attracted over 27,000 views in the last 12 months. To assist the growing numbers of teachers asking for advice on teaching GCSE Computing, in September he started recording a weekly podcast sharing his plans and reflections on teaching his Year 10 class. Each episode has attracted up to 800 listeners.

During my university experience, I often get asked if I'm close to my family. The answer is always yes, of course, but today a peculiar thought hit me when I was asked this during a chemistry study session: My siblings will never know how much I love them. Because I truly do love them in a way that I don't love anyone else in this world. They are the ones I miss the most when I'm away at school. Of course, I love my parents and miss them too, but longing to see my siblings is one that is something I can't really describe. To put it into perspective, if everyone in this world disappeared tomorrow except me and my siblings, I wouldn't blink. If I have them, I don't need anyone else.
For those of you that don't know I have three siblings, all of who are younger than me. There's Ali who's thirteen, Sana who's about to turn 10 (tomorrow!) and Omar who's 8. They really are the most important people in my life by far. I like to think of my immediate family as one that's very close knit. So I'm not one of those people who prefers their friends over their family. I do love my friends immensely, but they can't compare to Ali, Sana, or Omar. Don't get me wrong though. I wasn't always this way. When I was around by pre-teen years, I would get so fed up with my siblings. My mom always told me that I'd change my mind when I got older. I didn't know what she meant until recently. I know now that they're too young to comprehend the intense appreciation I feel towards them, but I'm going to leave a short memoir for each of them on this blog. Hopefully, this will reach them when they're older and they'll be able to understand. So here it goes!
Sana: My sister, Sana, is beautiful. There's simply no other way to put it. I still remember when I first met her nearly ten years ago at the hospital, I thought she was so pretty. When she got a little bit older, she was seriously the cutest little toddler ever. She was very, very chubby and would wear little girly dresses with her boy haircut. When she was only about 15 months old, Omar came along, so there was little time for her to be the youngest. But she's embraced the big sister role beautifully. That's the thing I love about her most: she's one of the most compassionate people I've met. Being the two girls, there's always going to be some tension between us because thats how girls are. However, I always try to be the best in everything I do because I know she looks up to me as an example to what to be, perhaps more so than the boys.
Omar: Omar and I have always been best friends. I've always been drawn to him and I think the reason is he's everything I wish I could be. That may sound odd since he's an 8 year old boy. However, allow me to explain. He's extremely intelligent. More so than I was when I was 8. Also, even at his very young age, he's very ambitious. He knows what he wants to do and how he's going to do it. He's not one of those kids that sets a out-of-the-box, fairy tale dream and then hopes they get it: Omar will really go out and get whatever he sets his mind to. For that reason, I think he will surpass us all. He's going be very, very successful. I'm so excited to see where he'll turn out. Because, you can take it from me, it's going to be somewhere super awesome.
With all my love,

Thursday Throwback
So I am getting frustrated as I through my iTunes and Spotify while I'm sitting in my living room and listening to the freezing winds blow outside. I am so sick of it all. Everything is just so overplayed! I am tired of listening to the same songs, over and over and over. There is just no good new music out there right now! Then, my iTunes shuffled to an extremely old song and my mood brightened! So I thought of this wonderful idea of having Throwback Thursdays every once in a while, where we share some tunes from back in the day (which is middle school for me since that's when I actually started listening to music besides Bollywood stuff). We could all relive some of the old memories these songs might remind us of.
For this first ever Throwback Thursday, I picked a couple songs that I hope you all enjoy.
1. I'm Like A Bird
Singer: Nelly Furtado
Album: Whoa, Nelly!
Year: 2000
This song used to be one of my favorites! I love Nelly Furtado. I wish she would come out with some new stuff. Her voice is so unique and has a spunk to it. It's hard to find this kind of music these days. Actually, it's hard to find any music that isn't club music.
Singer: JoJo
Album: The High Road
Year: 2006
I love JoJo! She recently released a new album, but it wasn't as good as some of her old stuff. I love the beats of this song, so catchy! JoJo had so much attitude that reflected in her music. I miss this kind of attitude. She's the real definition of a Jersey girl, not Snooki.
Well, that's all for now. I should probably get more productive now. Share some of your favorite old school tunes from back in the day (whenever that may be for you) by commenting below, tweeting at us, or posting on our Facebook page here.
Thanks for listening,

When NFL scouts go to Chapel Hill on Tuesday for UNC's pro day, they'll see a different Marquise Williams than what last year's film shows. Williams finished last season at 228 pounds, and he says he's down to 215. And they'll see a quarterback who isn't too keen on taking off and running at the next level like he did for the Tar Heels.
Articles, News and Updates
LAKE BUENA VISTA - On a breezy day more than a month ago at Walt Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex, fleet-footed defensive back Devin Hester of the University of Miami was at one corner of the field doing agility drills. In another corner, 340-pound offensive guard Max Jean-Gilles of Georgia had a resistance band around his stomach, working on power coming off the line.
D'Brickashaw Ferguson is one confident 300-pound lineman heading to this week's NFL combine – thanks to training guru Tom Shaw. "I'm happy with my progress. I'm faster, stronger and more explosive," the 6-foot-5 offensive tackle says. "I'm ready to show what I've got. The camp has been very productive for me." NFL personnel are eager for a close-up look at Ferguson, an All-American from Virginia expected to be among the first six players chosen in the April draft.
Before Ike Taylor emerged as a pro football prospect at Louisiana-Lafayette, before he was taken in the fourth round of the 2003 NFL draft, before the defensive back earned two Super Bowl rings with the Pittsburgh Steelers, there was Tom Shaw.
Yes, we are definitely ready for some football. And we are even keener for some genuine football insight, hence I took my notebook to the ESPN Wide World of Sports here in Orlando this week to consult my good friend and NFL guru Tom Shaw of the Coach Tom Shaw academy
Tom Shaw, who runs a popular performance enhancement camp at Disney's Wide World of Sports in Orlando, pranked a group of NFL prospects in this hilarious video listed below. Players were told a gorilla from Animal Kingdom got loose and, well, you can guess the rest of the story.
Under the blazing Orlando sun, at the base of a steep hill at Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports stands a group of about 15 athletically-built men. Green cones are scattered in various formations across the neatly-manicured hill.

Gatland keen to end on high
Thoughts of walking through the match-day throng in Cardiff tonight with a wooden spoon nailed to their backs should inspire Wales to wind up their pitiful Six Nations championship season with a winning performance of note against Italy.
Having galloped into the opening game at Twickenham last month with high hopes of lifting the title for a third time in six seasons, Warren Gatland's side had been reduced to a canter by the time they lost at home to France three weeks ago.
Now, after defeat in Dublin last weekend, Wales have to conquer the final hurdle and at least fend off the tournament outsiders.
The 11th-hour loss to injury of Paul Derbyshire and Carlo Antonio Del Fava has weakened Italy, but there's no doubt Nick Mallett's side will come out with all guns blazing.
Gatland was not happy with his side's performance at Croke Park: "There has been some finger-pointing this week," he admitted.
Gatland is, of course, hoping that his straight talking and the return of Gethin Jenkins and Mike Phillips will help Wales redress the balance. Unless they finish with a bang, the spotlight will fall on Gatland, for all the wrong reasons. (© Daily Telegraph, London)

Grade One
Grade one brings together boys from either our Kindergarten or Prep-One programs and outside schools. The skills necessary to form good relationships - how to solve conflict, find positive ways to communicate ideas, and build respect for everyone's diverse interests - weave into all subject areas. Boys leave first grade with the communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills needed to succeed in Lower School and beyond.
In Grade One, your son will study:
- Language Arts
- Mathematics
- Social Studies
- Science
- Music
- Art
- Physical Education
- Design and Woodworking
- French or Spanish
- Library
- Special Events
Language Arts
Grade one boys focus on increasing phonemic awareness necessary for sounding out new words, building reading fluency with a guided reading program, increasing comprehension skills through discussion and reader's workshop strategies, and developing communication skills through the writing process. Handwriting is taught and practiced daily.
During the first grade year the emphasis is on building a strong foundation in numeration and number theory. Units for the year include: sorting/patterns/attributes, addition and addition strategies, subtraction and subtraction strategies, addition and subtraction relationships, tangrams, place value/skip counting, two digit addition, greater than/less than, basic fractions, time, money, and measurement. Problem solving and critical thinking are large parts of the first grade curriculum.
Social Studies
The idea of what it means to be a community is expanded upon from the Prep-One and kindergarten years. The boys explore their own campus and learn about the individuals that make it function. They learn about goods and services while exploring the community beyond Gilman in Roland Park. Holidays and religions that our community values are discussed and celebrated. Units of study include American Presidents, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, and Ruby Bridges. A unit on Tall Tales is followed by an interdisciplinary unit on Westward Expansion. This unit builds on the themes of geography- location, place, and movement and culminates in a day-long celebration of learning known as "Pioneer Day."
First grade boys explore waves and sound as they use drums, tuning forks, prisms, boxes and other tools to create various waves they can see and feel. They study seven basic habitats and use technology and recycled supplies to create their own planet complete with herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers, similar to habitats found on Earth. Another unit takes them from space to earth. They explore the atmosphere, weather, water cycle, and plants along the way. The unit concludes with a recycling project which focuses on how to be better stewards of our world.
The philosophy and work of Zoltan Kodaly (1882-1967), Hungarian composer and music educator, provide the foundation for the lower school vocal program. The boys develop musical skill in pitch, rhythm, form, and harmony and learn a large repertoire of songs with an emphasis on American folk songs. They grow in competency as choral music performers and music readers, and they listen to classical and folk music from around the world. Folk dancing and children's musical games are an important component of the lower school program. Twice a year, all students highlight their performance skills in concerts that include singing, dancing, and instrumental playing. In addition to their own personal skills and performance, all students are exposed yearly to a concert with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
Students learn to differentiate between high and low sounds and identify the difference between beat and rhythm. They are introduced to several solfège notes throughout the year, including so, mi, la, and do. The students begin to read this limited note set on a five line staff and use the "do clef" to begin to discover the different placements of the home note, do. Additionally, the note values of quarter notes, quarter rests, and eighth notes are an integral part of their music literacy throughout grade one.
The art program encourages the student to express himself creatively and explore the world from an artist's vantage point. The lower school art program aims to foster the creative growth of each individual student while exposing him to a wide range of art styles and forms. Through engaging and fun instruction our students are exposed to many aspects of art. Students learn to use art vocabulary, as well as respond to and appreciate art. The art program Includes drawing, painting, collage, constructing, printmaking, and ceramics.
The first grade art program explores a variety of artists and mediums. The boys begin the year expanding their art vocabulary to include the term "highlight." Shape, form, and color are then introduced as aspects of good sculpture. The boys create a mixed media monster sculpture in paper mache. A study of French painter, Henri Rousseau, provides inspiration for the boys winter project. The First Grade boys use craft paper and tempera paint to create their own dramatic tropical landscapes. The boys continue working in mixed media to create "Jasper Johns-like" American flags. To introduce the boys to working with clay, they work on simple hand building techniques and create a "pinch pot" with a lid. Dazzling colors are used to glaze the artwork before it is taken home.
Physical Education
The lower school physical education curriculum includes physical education, aquatics, and athletics. Aquatics instruction starts in the Prep-One year and continues through Fifth Grade. Kindergarten through Fifth Grade receive a spiraling program of individual and group experiences. Sportsmanship, cooperation, and skill development are given high priority in all elementary grades. Specific traits of the Gilman Five are reinforced such as humility, respect, and excellence.
First grades boys receive 45 minutes of instruction eight days out of the ten day cycle. Homerooms rotate through swimming every four days. The aquatic component stresses water safety, coordination, and skill development.
Design and Woodworking
First grade boys become acclimated to the shop. They learn to follow pattern designs, shape and texture wood with rasps, hammer and nails, and join wood pieces. Keeping physical balance while accomplishing tasks with manipulation tools like a hand saw, file, and abrasive paper is practiced. Examples of projects include making a small log cabin.
French or Spanish
The Modern Language program includes French and Spanish. All boys in a grade study the same language. After Kindergarten, they study that assigned language for the rest of their lower school years. Classes meet six times during a ten day cycle.
The lower school's foreign language courses are taught using activities that will develop listening comprehension and conversational skills. Culture is used to deliver the content of different curricular units, and exposure to a variety of cultures that speak Spanish or French is an integral part of the program. The goals of the program are to expose the students to the language, to help them develop basic conversational skills, and to introduce them to the language used in its cultural context.The environment of the class is of one of neutrality and at no moment is there a preference for one culture or another.
With over 18,000 books, and access to multiple databases and digital content the lower school library, also known as the William Passano Library, offers the boys a rich, global collection of contemporary materials to explore. Students enjoy the library daily, as a space to research and for reading. Weekly classes with the librarian allows the boys to delve into research, explore what makes an award winning story or illustration, and learn about genres that may expand their reading experiences. Additionally, the librarian collaborates with the classroom teachers to support and enrich studies covered throughout the academic year. Building curious, confident, and avid readers who love reading is the goal of the library program.
Grade One boys will explore the features of distinctive illustrations in books and continue to make meaning from the text and supporting art. Students also engage in a literature study of tall tales and folktales.

The avocado is a subtropical fruit, the skin that can be smooth or rough, takes on a color that goes from green to purple according to the variety and maturation; It contains an abundant creamy yellow pulp and a large central seed. Excellent to taste alone or as an ingredient of more elaborate dishes, sweet and savory, it is the ideal food for a healthy and balanced diet.
Why choose Sicilian avocado?
The Sicilian avocado, grown organically, is caressed by the sun of the island and the sea breeze, enjoys peculiar characteristics: the microclimate, the quality of the soil and the purity of the water extracted at 70 meters of depth that make it even more tasty and precious.
Beneficial properties
The beneficial properties of avocado are many: it is a fruit rich in water, contains significant amounts of vitamins and minerals, with a contribution of calories proportionate to the extent of its nutrients. It is very rich in vitamins; there are 13 vitamins that the body absolutely needs: vitamins A, C, D, E, K and B vitamins. It is a great ally during the development of the fetus and helps protect sight.
Defined as a natural antioxidant, it has been included within the 27 essential elements against cancer treatment.
It also helps the release of hormones in the intestine useful to signal fullness, and therefore control of appetite. Its creamy consistency makes it one of the most loved fruits, even by children.

Secretary of State for the Home Department v Kamara [2016] EWCA Civ 813 (11 August 2016)
It is nearly impossible to find an immigration judgment at the Court of Appeal level that does not mention any case law at all. The case of Alusine Kamara, a Sierra Leonean resident in the UK since he was a child, was one where Sales LJ dismissed the home secretary's appeal against the decision of the Upper Tribunal which had allowed Kamara's appeal on the basis that he was fully integrated into the UK and his deportation as a foreign criminal would interfere with his right to respect for his private life under article 8 of the ECHR. In 1993, Kamara arrived in the UK as a child with his sister. Both of them were under 10 and joined his adult half-sister resident in the UK with indefinite leave to remain and they lived with relatives and in foster care. He grew up in the UK and in August 1995 his sister and him were granted ILR as their half-sister's dependants. Sales LJ said Kamara is seeking to complete his studies and wants to be employed in the UK. He had lost contact with Sierra Leone completely and it was acknowledged by the home office that he did not know any of the languages spoken there.
His life fell into disarray when in October 2011 he was sentenced to 3½ years imprisonment for possession of class A drugs with intent to supply. His offending made him a "foreign criminal" within the meaning of the UK Borders Act 2007 and section 117C of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. Although he behaved in an exemplary way during his sentence, he was to be deported upon release from jail. His credibility as a witness impressed the Upper Tribunal and it found him to be a diligent student who expressed remorse for his offending. His initial appeal to the First-tier Tribunal was successful under the Immigration Rules but the decision was set aside by the Upper Tribunal – which then made a fresh decision after conducting a full hearing because of errors at the First-tier level. Applying the relevant law, it made the findings outlined at the outset, i.e. that Kamara was socially and culturally integrated in the UK.
Whether Kamara had any links with his natural mother was a contested point before the Upper Tribunal. His father was a Lebanese national and Kamara was born out of wedlock. But the father later married another woman who moved to the UK when he died in 1992. As ever, the home office was confused yet again. It thought that references to links with his stepmother, who had relocated to the UK, were references to his natural mother whereas in reality his natural mother – with whom he had never lived – could not be traced after disappearing in 1994.
In the Court of Appeal the home office did not quibble with that finding. The question before Moore-Bick and Sales LJJ was whether there would be very significant obstacles to Kamara's integration into Sierra Leone upon deportation. The Upper Tribunal found the threshold of his reintegration into Sierra Leone to be high – "very significant obstacles" – but since he spoke none of the 23 tribal languages of that country his chances of survival on English alone were low and his unfamiliarity with local culture meant that no evidence pointed towards his reintegration into Sierra Leone's societal context. He was an outsider with no familial links there and the country's Ebola epidemic made his reintegration there harder still.
Thus Kamara came within exception 1 in section 117C(4) and within paragraph 399A of the Immigration Rules which meant that weighing the elements in section 117B and section 117C(1) and (2) in the balance, deporting him would breach his article 8 rights and would be disproportionate.
In his discussion, Sales LJ reasoned that the idea of a foreign criminal's integration into the country of proposed deportation was "a broad one" – under section 117C(4)(c) and paragraph 399A – which is not restricted to finding employment or sustaining life in another country. Holding that it sufficed for judges to generally direct themselves in line with terms chosen by Parliament because it is inappropriate to put a gloss on the statutory language, his Lordship found that:
14. … The idea of "integration" calls for a broad evaluative judgment to be made as to whether the individual will be enough of an insider in terms of understanding how life in the society in that other country is carried on and a capacity to participate in it, so as to have a reasonable opportunity to be accepted there, to be able to operate on a day-to-day basis in that society and to build up within a reasonable time a variety of human relationships to give substance to the individual's private or family life.
Rejecting the home office's excessively demanding approach to the hearing of appeals, he went on to hold:
18. There is no special rule regarding the reasons to be given by a tribunal deciding an immigration appeal. The conventional approach applies. The Upper Tribunal's decision is to be read looking at the substance of its reasoning and not with a fine-tooth comb or like a statute in an effort to identify errors. In giving its reasons, a tribunal is entitled to focus on the principal issues in dispute between the parties, whilst also making it clear that it has considered other matters set out in the legislative regime being applied.
Hairsplitting by the home office did not come to its aid and Sales LJ was quite dismissive about the bald nature of the arguments put to him on appeal. The court found that no complaint could be made about the fact that Kamara was a young man in good health and capable of working – which the home office construed to mean that the Upper Tribunal was wrong to find that his case fell within exception 1 in section 117C(4) and within paragraph 399A. Equally, no sloppiness was attributable to the tribunal for its conclusion on statute and the rules because as presented the home office's case in the tribunal did not mount a major submission on exception 1 in section 117C(4) and paragraph 399A and Kamara's factual situation.
A fair reading of the Upper Tribunal's decision did not render unfair its hesitation to construe Kamara's characteristics of being a young man in good health capable of working as invalidating its finding that there would be very significant obstacles to his integration into Sierra Leone. No point was made that the finding that his deportation would be in breach of his article 8 rights could be regarded as irrational or perverse. The tribunal was thus plainly aware of everything in the case, its findings were correct and the appeal was therefore dismissed.
After a raft of recent negative decisions in this area, Sales LJ's judgment – one where his Lordship probably set a positive example by not conducting a fine-tooth combing exercise himself – is seen as positive news. The outcome in Kamara has been defined as "rare" and "progressive" in the overall genre of article 8 cases with the result that it "has significant implications for many other (non-criminal, non-deportation) cases where persons are relying on their right to private life to justify leave to remain in the UK, including claims by asylum seekers, persons who overstay their leave and victims of human trafficking."

To most people, a 735 sqft house is pretty small, but to a family used to living in 240 sqft, it is pretty big! Even for our family of five, we have plenty of room. There is plenty of room for us to pass in the hall without turning sideways, and the whole house does not shake when one of the kids jumps off their bed. And, perhaps best of all, Rob and I no longer sleep in the living room, so I do not have to make our bed every night and put it back away in the morning! What a treat to just crawl into bed when we are ready!
Rob is really enjoying his new position. He works with a great group of guys, and there are a lot of projects to look forward to. The kids started school last Tuesday, but there was no school Thursday through Monday, so they had a nice long break. They are really liking their classes and teachers. Liam was already able to go on a field trip to the junior high, which he will attend next year.
We have been trying to split our time between getting the house cleaned up and organized, and exploring the area. There is so much to see that we want to go do it all now, but we have to keep reminding ourselves that we will be here for a long time, and will have lots of time to explore and hike. But who wants to stay home and clean when there are so many amazing things to see?!
Peej decided that she really wanted a new radiator, so we have already found a good repair shop in town, and since the kids had to be picked up from school while she was still in 'surgery,' I also had the pleasure of getting to know the local taxi service! At this rate, we will know the ins and outs of town in no time!
Everyone is settling in just fine, including Charbie, Remi, and Hammy. We are all getting used to our new house, new town, new school, new job, new surroundings. And we are all loving it. There is something here for everyone, and I think we are going to be busy exploring for a long time to come.

Paleo Sandwich Bread {Grain Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free/ vegan option}
Gluten Free Sandwich bread without the additives
Inspired by Paleo Running Momma
- 2 1/2 cups of gluten free flour mix or (2 cups blanched almond flour, 2 Tbsp coconut flour, 1/2 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot flour)
- 1/4 cup golden flax seed meal
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
- 3 large eggs whisked ( or 9 Tbs of aquafaben chickpea water).
- 2 large egg whites whisked ( or 3 Tbs of aquafaben chickpea water).
- 6 Tbsp almond milk unsweetened or other non-dairy milk
- 1/2 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled (use refined to avoid coconut flavor)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line an 8 x 4" loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients, set aside. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites or aquafaben, almond milk, vinegar and coconut oil.
Immediately stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until moistened, careful not to overmix.
Transfer all the batter (it should be pretty thick, like a sticky dough) into the prepared loaf pan, spread out evenly, tapping pan on the countertop a few times to evenly distribute. If desired, brush a bit of almond milk over the top of the loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 mins or until loaf is completely risen and top is deep golden brown.
Cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 30 mins, then remove from pan holding the sides of the parchment paper and continue to cool on the rack until fully cooled.
Slice as desired and store leftovers covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 4 days – you can also freeze this bread to keep it longer. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
*To make paleo-friendly (corn free) baking powder, mix 1 tsp baking soda with 2 tsp cream of tartar. For this recipe, you will need just 1 1/2 tsp total of this mixture.

Hong Kong, Bangkok, and French Polynesia in the March ActiveTravels Newsletter
In the March issue of the ActiveTravels newsletter, we discuss our recent travels to Hong Kong and Bangkok. When we weren't downing copious amounts of dim sum, we were checking out the art scene, the food markets, and the temples where residents were preparing for the Chinese New Year celebrations. We also experienced 5 of the best hotels in the region. We now only bring carry-on luggage because we change hotels every two days to experience as much as possible of what our clients will encounter during their stays. Also in this issue is a deal on cruising French Polynesia and the family friendly delights of a relatively new Montage resort just outside of Savannah, Georgia.

Laura's Christmas Shipping Schedule FAQ
When will you ship my order?
We ship orders during normal business hours, Monday to Friday. Even we do work late in the evening, our couriers schedules determine when the order leaves our warehouse.
If you place your order before noon on a business day, your order will usually ship same day.
If you place your order during weekends, bank holidays or after noon, your order will usually ship next business day.
These time limits exist because we need to make orders can leave also our couriers hub the same day they are shipped from us.
In December our warehouse is closed, in addition to weekends, also Tuesday 6th of December (our national day) and Monday 26th of December.
When will my order arrive?
If your order is shipped with DHL Express Worldwide service, your order will arrive usually the next day it was shipped. Schedule is tight and sometimes, but very rarely, the plane can be delayd at Germany in DHL's hub, causing a one day delay. Main cause is weather, so the risk is higher in winter.
If your order is shipped DHL Express Economy Select service, your order will usually arrive in 2 to 6 business days from shipping.
DHL shipping services delivery times are not usually affected by Christmas season.
If your order is shipped with the GLS service, your order will usually arrive in 5 to 6 business days from shipping. The order is delivered by GLS and partner companies. As the order can also routed through some postal service sorting hubs, the Christmas season can mean some delays in delivery times.
Can the courier leave the order outside my house if I'm not at home?
With DHL services we require an recipients signature due to insurance reasons. You can leave a note at your door, and the DHL driver will decide. They shouldn't leave the shipment without a signature, but sometimes they do.
With GLS, if the recipientis not at home, they will take the shipment to nearest service hub and leave a note about it.
We are not able to add any notes about delivery to the shipping labels.
When is the last day to order for my orders to arrive for Christmas?
If you use DHL Express Worldwide, we recommend that you place your orders latest 22nd of December before noon.
If you use DHL Express Economy Select, we recommend that you place your orders latest Friday 16th of December before noon.
If you use GLS, we recommend you place your orders latest Wednesday 14th of December before noon.
Please note, we can't guarantee that shipments are delivered at certain day, but we do try our best.
