Epic Fail
Epic Fail is a project that aims to spread entrepreneurial culture in roman high schools and universities by defeating the fear of failure. Failure is good, is part of the game, and it is wrong to stop believing in a good idea just because of one, two or three failures! This project is implemented in partnership with Culturit, an Italian academic association. The Rome Hub organizes different classroom activities to show young people cases of failures from which they can learn: startupper stories, business case analyses, and talks about jobs of the future. The project will culminate with the gathering of all the schools visited by the hub in a final event to provide students with the opportunity to meet important speakers and participate in workshops.

Need To Have A Lawyer? Make Use Of This Advice
Unless you or even a close member of the family can be a lawyer, chances are you are aware of little about hiring attorneys. Luckily, it's not too difficult to get a good lawyer which will help you once you learn what to do to locate services that will benefit you. Read on to learn how the good lawyer can be your best asset.
Do not work with a lawyer that is trying to find you. This type of situation is normally a gimmick. This is especially true if the situation for which you are embroiled will usually cost a lot of money. Do due diligence to obtain the best attorney all by yourself terms.
You may be nervous about how exactly much a legal professional, particularly one familiar with your case, costs. But, don't be discouraged. An over-all attorney must spend billable hours background researching your case, to wind up paying out more in the long term.
Be wary of handing spanning a huge retainer to your lawyer to take your case. Should they have a definite retainer before taking an instance, make sure to could be refunded precisely what is not used. You should also seek advice from others, since there are attorneys that can charge a fee a compact retainer, charging you later for anything additional.
Don't make use of a lawyer you don't trust. This is especially true when you are finding a lawyer for your personal business or professional matters. Signing blank checks or paying a retainer fee is something a great deal of lawyers request. Then, you happen to be very vulnerable when hiring that person. Protect yourself around you can.
Use referral services to locate a lawyer. These facilities might help connect you with reputable lawyers. They carefully screen in accordance with qualifications and credentials. Some use state bar standard to determine whether lawyers are adequate. Before you use a legal professional referral service, you want to do research over a lawyer's qualifications by yourself. This should help you get the best service for you.
If you require legal representation, you should do all that one could to speak effectively together with your chosen attorney. Being prepared in a timely manner with any information your attorney requests can help your case. This provides you with the ideal possibility to win your case.
Create a fee arrangement with your attorney right in the beginning, before they begin helping you. To begin with, this really is beneficial as you do not have to think about the financial part of your case and focus on the case itself. It will also make it easier to arrange your money in order to make your appropriate payments if needed.
You can save time and cash by making sure you have every piece of information and paperwork necessary before the initial consultation. The attorney can provide an excellent sense of your likely bill if he understands the complete scope of the case. Being efficient when dealing with lawyers could help you save considerably.
Chances are that you might be not excited about needing an attorney. If, however, you happen to be educated on the way to select and employ a lawyer, you will feel far better concerning the entire process.
The guidelines you merely read should assist you in the future if you happen to need to have a lawyer..

President to Address Nation on Storm
According to CNN, President Obama has scheduled an address
to the nation at 12:45 p.m. on Hurricane Sandy, which intensified Monday and
was being described by some as a once-in-a-lifetime weather event. According to
a CNN spokesperson, it will be a statement, but it is unclear whether he will
be taking questions.
The president and Republican candidate Mitt Romney both had
to cancel or reschedule campaign events slated for the swing state of Virginia
due to the storm, and early voting in some states, including Maryland, were
postponed as people were warned to stay off the roads as the storm approached.
The president has declared emergency situations in eight
states, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, D.C.,
New York, Maryland and Massachusetts.

Allow publicaton dates by seasonNot planned
I have just added a work which was published in a journal with the cover date "Autumn 2017". I do not know if it was published in August or September, or will not be published until October. Users should be able to specify a date in the format "[Season] ([Hemisphere]), [Year]". Hemisphere is needed because, for example, Autumn occurs differently in the northern and southern hemispheres.

Wealden District Council
The Housing Service supports tenants and residents to get involved in improving their neighbourhood, and play a part in the decision making processes which affect where they live. From joining a local community group, helping out at a Clear-up day, organising events, attending meetings, sitting on partnership panels, or completing on-line surveys or taking part in Consultations, all residents can choose how and when they want to make a difference. Our Tenant Involvement Strategy (pdf) establishes a framework for enabling our tenants and leaseholders to be consulted and effectively participate in the decision making process which affects them and the management if their homes.
The Housing Service is constantly looking for new ways for tenants to become involved in scrutinizing the way we work, looking at standards, and helping us to improve if things have gone wrong. Often we need different groups of tenants or individuals to look at specific areas of the Housing Service. If you think you may be interested please contact us using the contact details at the bottom of the page.
If you have experience in proof reading, on eye for detail or a passion for 'Plain English', you could bring your skills to a reading group, which will give feedback on the layout, presentation and content of the publications, and help make sure that the information is clear and easy to understand. If you are interested in getting involved contact us using the contact details at the bottom of the page.
In partnership with the local Community Groups and other agencies, the Housing Service holds walk-abouts on our larger estates with Housing Officers and Estate Wardens. Walk-abouts are useful for identifying areas which may be in need of improvements or repairs, or investigate ideas for a community project or scheme.
Estate walk-abouts are an excellent way to meet local residents, the Housing Officers and Estate Wardens for each area, and offer an ideal opportunity to look at areas of land or places where improvements could be made on our housing areas.
In some cases, other agencies such as the Police, Parish and District Councillors and Highways Officers have also attended, leading to effective partnership working to bring about positive changes and improvements. The walk-abouts have helped to identify some of the projects and schemes which have benefited from funding from the Community and Environmental Budget.
One way to get involved and make a difference is by volunteering with or helping to set up a new local Community Association or group. If you would like information on a group in your neighbourhood, please contact the Tenant Participation Team using contact details below to find out how we can help.
The Wealden Residents Action Group, is the representative body for tenants and leaseholders across the District and is made up of representatives from local community groups and residents associations. WRAG attends partnership meetings with Council Officers and Councillors, to ensure the priorities of tenants and residents are considered. WRAG also scrutinises the decision making and policies processes and feeds into budget setting and financial planning of the housing service
If you would like more information, or would like to get involved with the work of WRAG, or have any issues or concerns you feel WRAG should be aware of please email email@example.com
The Retirement Living Housing Residents Group (RLRG) was formed in 2009 and represents tenants and leaseholders or shared owners living in Wealden District Council's Retirement Living Courts. Residents of each court elect representatives, who attend monthly RLRG meetings, which are held in a different location each month.
RLRG representatives meet with Council Officers and Councillors to discuss any issues affecting Court Residents.
To find out more about RLRG or to get involved contact The Tenant Participation Team using the contact details below.
The Housing and Property Service provides the Community and Environmental Budget , which can fund projects and schemes that will make improvements to the community or environmental facilities on WDC estates or Retirement Living Courts. The budget is funded by revenue from rent, therefore projects or schemes must be of benefit to tenants and their families.
If you have an idea for a project or scheme which will improve the environment of your housing area or Court or will provide facilities for the community, please get in touch with your Housing Officer or Court Manager to discuss it.
For more information please contact the Tenant Participation Team:

Principal's Corner
At Glenbrook, our motto of "Love, Laughter, and Learning" is on display each and every day and I am proud to be a part of such an enthusiastic and positive learning community. At Glenbrook, we believe in building strong positive partnerships between our school and its families in order to provide the absolute best for our students academically, emotionally, and socially. These parent partnerships along with a dedicated and caring staff are the hallmark of our school.
Once again technology is leading the way here at Glenbrook. In grades K-3 each class received 5 iPad Air 2's to share along with their current devices and in 4th grade, each class received 10 iPad Air 2's bringing them to a ratio of 1 device per 2 students. Not to be outdone, each one of our 5th grade students will have access to their own individual iPad throughout the day. This 1:1 plan is part of a district wide initiative aimed at equipping our students with tools and resources aimed at increasing student engagement and opportunities to enrich and transform their learning experiences. We can't wait to see the results as this plan continues to be implemented.
This year Glenbrook Elementary will continue to utilize Stepping Stones for its math curriculum, offer Early World Language to our kindergarten through fifth grade students and utilize PBIS for promoting positive behaviors throughout our school. PBIS is an initiative that recognizes our students for their "Respectful, Responsible, and Safe" behavior. The program has been successful, recognizing literally thousands upon thousands of positive student behaviors since its implementation! Our LEAP (Learning Enrichment and Proficiency) program which creates flexible learning groups for our students will also continue along coding classes for technology and hands on science activities. Glenbrook also offers numerous other clubs and programs such as student council, choir, school safety patrol, 5th grade Spanish club, our spring running club, SOARING, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, AAA after school program, and other community sponsored activities, clubs, and athletics programs
On behalf of everyone here at Glenbrook, thank you for visiting our school's website. We are excited that you have taken some time to learn a little bit more about our school, as well as all of the great things happening here and in our community. From our school blog and tweets, to our PBIS and PTO web pages, I hope that you'll find everything you need just a few "clicks" away. If not, please be sure to contact us here at school. It is our privilege to help our parents and students out in any way that we can.

!Viva in February 2105 was a truly awesome event with over B100,000 in cash donated to The Children of the Forest in Sangklaburi. We also supported Pablo and Sajona to make a visit to the camp on the border between Thailand and Burma, and they reported that they kids had a blast!
Huge thanks to Kamalaya Samui for kindly hosting this event and to all our prize donors.
We auctioned amazingly generous vouchers from the community including a personal cooking class at Rock Salt and vouchers for Island Organics Cooking School, dinner vouchers from Sweet Sisters Cafe and Stacked. There were super generous accommodation and experience offers from Kamalaya, The Sanctuary Koh Phangan, Ozo, Vikasa and Samahita and more... Thanks also to Oriental Living and Boutique Yachting for generous support.
We also auctioned art objects that were donated by Kamalaya, Cameron Hansen, JD Marston, Rob Powell, Shelley Poplak and we even had a signed first edition by Samui author Adele Smith. Samui has a heart!
While Pablo and Sajona were on Samui, we also visited the Tong Krut temple school (Samui Mala raised funds for their healthy eating program at our September event) and we took them apples and we had a little concert under the mango tree. It was fun and good practice for them to play for children where they have no common language.
Thank you to Gary Pearmain for the great pics, and for his personal support to make this a great event.
Entrance by suggested donation B300 for Children of the Forest
Limited seating - book by RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com
Kindly note that Kamalaya cannot accept any dinner bookings for outside guests as they are fully booked at this time. We suggest some local food options down south: Shasa (Beyond the Sea), Sweet Sisters, The Hideaway or Green Talay (Tong Krut), June's Art Cafe in Lamai (closes 8pm),Rock Salt near Crystal Bay (if you are passing through Lamai on the way home), or Vikasa on the hill between Lamai and Chaweng
Big thanks to Steve Earl at Lighthouse Creative for donating time to create the artwork

Working for logical immigation reform based on a stable population, a recognition of the finite nature of our natural resources and the adverse impact of continued growth on our quality of life, standard of living, national interest, character, language, sovereignty and the rule of law. Pushing back and countering the disloyal elements in American society and the anti-American rhetoric of the leftwing illegal alien lobbies. In a debate, when your opponents turn to name calling, it's a good sign you've already won.
Wednesday, September 19, 2007
Rushdie Paraphrased
"What I fear most is that, when we look back in 25 years' time at this moment, what we will have seen is the surrender of America to immigration's unarmed invasion, without a shot being fired. They'll say that in the name of tolerance and acceptance, we tied our own hands and slit our own throats. One of the things that have made me live my entire life in America is because I love the way people live here, the quality of life and the standard of living. All that will change for the worse as legal immigrants and illegal aliens and their progeny result in unfettered population growth, the destruction of social solidarity in communities affected by high degrees of ethnic and racial diversity, the depletion of natural resources, increased pollution, more traffic congestion, extinction of species, climate change and gasoline at $10/gallon. All this we can lay at the feet of our shortsighted politicians and their tax and immigration policies, and to the disloyal, complicit immigrant sympathizers and their fellow travelers."

Coin Circulation in the Balkan and Danubian Provinces, A.D. 294-578. RNS SP26
1993. 208 pages, 5 maps. Casebound, dust-jacket, red cloth.
This book presents for the first time a complete survey of late Roman and early Byzantine coin circulation in four countries of South-east Europe: Hungary, the former Yugoslavia, Romania and Greece. The period covered, from the reform of Diocletian in AD 294 to the death of Justin II in AD 578, saw in turn a great expansion in the numbers of coins circulating during the fourth century only to be followed by a sharp decline in the fifth and a revival (in the Southern part of the area) in the sixth.
The author provides details of 60 hoards of gold and silver coins, 167 hoards and find-groups of bronze coins and some 250 isolated finds of precious-metal coins. Much of this material is unpublished and none of it has been brought together in this way before.
Dr Duncan explores in depth such questions as why fourth-century silver coins are so abundant in Rpmania but not elsewhere and examines the wider historical and economic implications of the data he has gathered.
This book will be of importance to all students of late Roman history and numismatics.
Dr Duncan studied at Oxford University and the institute of Archaeology, London, and is now a solicitor working in London.

Williamstown, Mass. – The Connecticut College women's lacrosse team dropped a NESCAC matchup to Williams by a 12-7 score on Saturday afternoon at Farley-Lamb Field.
After the teams traded goals in the opening five minutes, Williams went on its first of two runs by netting four unanswered to take control. Emma Tenbarge picked up a ground ball and scored a go-ahead goal following a save by Camel sophomore Nina Fazio (East Longmeadow, Mass.) off a free position attempt, and the Ephs used the momentum to tally three more goals in a span of 3:10
Connecticut College, however, stayed competitive and stormed back by continuing to earn and capitalize on free position attempts. After Navoni netted two free position goals, sophomore Hannah Lombard (Ipswich, Mass.) added the team's third marker by putting back her own miss. Junior Kate Bermingham (Amherst, N.H.) added a free position goal with 5:01 remaining, and classmate Clara Bisson (Sudbury, Mass.) tacked on back-to-back markers to give the Camels their first lead. She tied the game by netting a free position goal and then collecting a blocked shot off a free position taken by Julia Loesch (Charlotte, N.C.) to make it 6-5 heading into the recess.
The Camels doubled their lead in the early stages of the second half when Lombard finished a pass from Navoni, but Williams responded with another big run. Mason Yonge led the charge by completing a hat trick during the stretch, which included sparking the run with an unassisted tally at 24:04 and capping it by finding the back of the net with just over two minutes remaining to cap a 7-0 streak and put the game out of reach for the visitors.
Williams (1-3, NESCAC 1-2) was led by Tenbarge, who recorded a hat trick, picked up four ground balls, and caused three turnovers. Yonge added three goals, while Allison Norris contributed a goal and two assists to go along with three ground balls and two caused turnovers. Goalie Kami Cisneros made nine saves between the posts for the Ephs, who had a 35-28 advantage in total shots and an 11-10 edge in draw controls.
Bisson, Lombard and Navoni all scored twice in the setback for the Camels. Navoni also won a game-high nine draw controls, while senior Erin Martin (Scituate, Mass.) scooped up six ground balls and caused two turnovers. Fazio finished the game with a career-high 14 saves.
Connecticut College (1-4, NESCAC 0-3) will conclude a four-game road trip when it visits Westfield State on Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Avoiding Sexual Harassment Claims
By Justin Pierce - Pierce Coleman, PLLC
In the last few months we've seen a flurry of harassment and sexual assault allegations, resignations, investigations, and news reports of all of these things that have dominated the headlines. It's a good time to remind employers of their obligations and best practices when it comes to these issues in order to minimize, or avoid altogether, liability associated with such claims.
Well-established United States Supreme Court case law makes clear that an employer who receives information about a potential harassment situation in the workplace can avoid liability if the employer promptly investigates and takes prompt and appropriate action to eliminate the harassment. The following are key points to keep in mind:
1. If supervisors have reason to believe there is a harassment situation occurring, whether there has been a formal complaint or not, the duty to act begins.
Often, we hear that the victim or witness haven't yet filed a formal complaint, or haven't reduced the complaint to writing, and so employers think they can wait until such things happen. Even if your policy requires a formal or written complaint, the duty to act begins when you know, or have enough information to have a reasonably good idea, that harassment may be occurring.
Don't act alone; the AMRRP's Personnel Assistance Lifeline (PAL) is a free service to members and will allow you to consult with employment law counsel on the process.
2. Investigate.
Sometimes the allegations are such that an outside investigator is warranted. However, in most situations this is an investigation that can be performed internally. Things to consider in the investigation are whether there is competent evidence that there has been verbal, physical, or visual conduct that would be offensive to a reasonable person, and based on sex. Note, however, that any protected category – including things such as race, religion, disability, and age – can serve as a basis for a harassment claim if the offensive conduct is severe or pervasive enough. Among other things, examples of verbal conduct are:
• Demands for sexual favors
• Sexually-graphic statements
• Demeaning jokes of a sexual nature
• The description of an employee's anatomy or body in direct sexual or sexually-suggestive terms
• Dirty jokes
• Describing sexual experiences and preferences
Among others, some examples of physical conduct are:
• Unwanted touching
• Touching a body part, particularly in an area that cannot be explained as inadvertent
• Encroaching upon an individual's physical space
• Blocking an individual's movement
• Massages
And a non-exhaustive list of visual conduct are things like:
• Pornography
• Sexually-suggestive e-mails or screen savers on computers
• Cartoons or pictures that depict either sex in a demeaning way
• Other individuals engaged in potentially offensive sexual behavior, even of a non-graphic nature
3. Make findings of fact.
Determine whether the evidence supports that the type of conduct noted above has occurred. Importantly, do not conclude based on your findings that unlawful harassment has in fact occurred. That is a legal determination. Keep your findings to whether the conduct occurred and at most, whether the conduct violates the employer's policies.
4. Take action based on the findings.
The victim needs to be made aware of the findings so that the victim (and the other employees for that matter) know that you took the allegations seriously. If the findings demonstrate that violations of the policies have occurred, the employer needs to take action to make sure the conduct doesn't happen again. That usually means disciplining the employee or employees who engaged in the harassment (up to, and including, termination).
5. Train your supervisors and employees.
Supervisors and employees should be trained on their duties and responsibilities with regard to preventing harassment in the workplace. Specifically, the EEOC has issued guidance on certain types of trainings that should be done with regard to retaliation in the midst of a harassment complaint. In addition to the PAL program offered by AMRRP, members also have the benefit of engaging employment counsel to conduct specialized trainings for their employees and supervisors at a reduced flat fee of $1,500.

Wednesday 14th November 2012
Gary Numan looks set to continue his current creative renaissance with a new EP in collaboration with Officers, UK tour dates set for the end of the year, and, upcoming remixes from artists including Tim Burgess.
2011 saw Numan's notable input on the unforgettable "My Machines" with Battles, and the release of his own critically acclaimed "Dead Son Rising".

"PETALS" features additional re-working's from Numan's right hand man Ade Fenton, uber producer, Jagz Kooner (PrimaScream/Oasis/Kasabian) and remixes by LOSERS. Full EP released digitally on 19 November 2012.
The proceeds from the digital release will go to charity – CALM, (Campaign Against Living Miserably), an organization striving to reduce the high suicide rate amongst men under 35 years of age.
Gary Numan will be playing 7 shows in December as the "Dead Moon Falling" tour, featuring brand new songs from the forthcoming album, "Splinter" (due in 2013), plus new versions of tracks from 2011's "Dead Son Rising" album, which are currently being re-worked on by the likes of Tim Burgess, Alec Empire, The Duke Spirit, Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails) and Gazelle Twin.
Tour dates in December are:
2 Southampton Guildhall
3 Manchester Ritz
4 Edinburgh Picturehouse
5 Norwich UEA
6 Wolverhampton Wulfren Hall
7 London Forum
8 Nottingham Rock City
(Officers to play at all shows)

In many ways, people are all the same: we all eat, drink, and breathe. We also differ in many ways, in terms of food preferences or what we find attractive in a partner or value in a relationship. These differences could be influenced by many factors: upbringing, religion, core beliefs, or culture.
One might assume that, when it comes to sex, we all basically do it the same way—by fitting "tab A" to "slot B." However, you might be surprised to learn that there are a few distinct ways we differ in how we approach sex depending on which country we live in.
How does where you live affect how you have sex?
A lot of research has gone into finding global trends with regard to sexuality. However, some studies have also found that there are differences between the ways people have sex in various countries and cultures. Let's take a look at some of the ways sexuality can differ depending on what country you live in.
Average number of partners
The average number of sexual partners a person has is one factor that research has found to be different from place to place. One study looked at various aspects of sexuality and how they differed between four countries: Colombia, Canada, Israel and Brazil. In terms of average number of sex partners, people in Brazil and Israel were found to have significantly more sex partners across their lifetime—averaging 6.5 and 6.8 partners—than people in Colombia and Canada, who averaged only 1.8 and 1.5 partners respectively (Cardoso, 2007). Another more recent article found that people in the United States had more partners on average than people in the Netherlands—7.2 partners over the life span for Americans compared with 6.9 partners for the Dutch (Truong, 2017).
Average frequency of sex
Another factor that may be influenced by which country you are in is the average frequency of sex. For example, more than 80 percent of people polled in Greece, Russia and Brazil reported having sex on at least a weekly basis, while only a little more than half of Americans polled reported the same. Japan was lowest on the sexual frequency list at 34 percent of respondents reporting weekly sexual activity ("3 Maps of Sex Trends", 2013). Another survey found that Italy had the least number of sexual encounters annually, but confirmed the high-frequency sexual activity of Greece, Russia and Brazil, with Poland falling into fourth place for most frequent sex encounters (Valdez, 2014).
Penis size
Everyone has heard things about variations in penis size in one part of the globe or another, but what's the truth behind these rumors? Does penis size really differ that much from place to place? One author looked at the available data and noted that results from studies vary vastly, possibly due to asking respondents to report flaccid rather than erect penis size (Hale, 2016). Without erection being taken into consideration, people in countries all over the world including South Korea, India, the United States, and Nigeria, had an average penis size between 3 and 3 and a half inches, give or take—not much difference there. However, when measuring erect penis size, data found that differences did emerge, and people in Germany had greater erect penis length (at 5.7 inches) than people in Turkey (5.01 inches), the United States (5.07 inches), or India (5.09 inches).
How long sex usually lasts
Although the average length of time sex lasts may not vary much from place to place, some sources have shown that this factor does differ depending on which country you are in. Interestingly, the length of time each sexual experience takes from penetration to finish does vary across countries. In one survey, people in the United States reported an average time of less than four minutes and people in China reported less than three minutes to the grand finale. The country whose inhabitants reported the longest latency was Australia, lasting just over four minutes on average (Knibbs, 2014).
How much does where you're from impact your sex life?
The truth is, although there are studies that explore the differences in how people have sex depending on which country they are from, geographic location is just one piece of the sexuality puzzle. In one study, researchers found that mental health status was tied to number of sex partners (Bell et al., 2013), and another recent study found that sexual activity—or the lack thereof—appeared to be influenced by age and generation rather than country of origin (Sherman, Twenge & Wells, 2017). No matter where you live or how you choose to express your sexuality, one thing is certain: sex is one of the most crucial aspects of being a person. After all, without sex, there wouldn't be any human life to begin with.

"One of these things is not like the o-thers ..."
Jackson Park was the site of the 1893 (not the 1933) exposition, and that card strikes me as pre-1907.
And, here's another thing that's not like the others: The Streets of Paris / Meet Me In Paris pavilion.

IkeyPikey clued me into this thread from the larger world's fairs/expos thread that's getting some attention lately. I think this one deserves a bump up.
Okay, ikey, I'll see your Streets of Paris exterior shot and raise you one from inside the pavilion -- and a brontosaurus. Also a few others. Enjoy!

Well done, GregAlex!
I have only this modest postcard trifecta (subject, stamp, slogan cancel) to offer. Note that:
- the WikiGod lists the opening date as 27/May/1933;
- the slogan cancel 'announces' the opening date as 01/June/1933;
- the slogan cancel was applied to
postcard on 31/Oct/1933.
Q/ Did they never update the slogan cancel?
Q/ Was the near-to-last-day mail volume so high that they added new clerks with old killers?
Q/ Is the "49" a station number and, therefor, a clue?
I'm willing to allow that the closing date (Nov __) was not shown because, at the time the killer was manufactured, it was not certain.
Another possibility, of course, is that the ink never made it onto the stamp as a matter of the-luck-of-the-strike.

I've just started a collection of 1933 Century of Progress postcards. There seem to be quite a few out there that are quite nice. So many, that I'don't aspire to collect them all. But, out of curiosity, does anyone have any idea roughly how many different ones there are?

It is a fact of post card life that census data (in the sense of the number of types by publisher, never mind the number printed) is usually hard to come by.
A small group of collectors had led a prodigious effort to re-construct the history of Tuck's, to cite one success, and the library that was gifted the archive of Curt Teich has also been hard at work.
But, in general, fuggedaboudit.
... select [Publishers] to get an idea of how many companies were active in 1933.
All that having been said, you
be able to find a list of just the 'official' souvenir post cards ... let us know if you find one!

On the back of the postcards by Ruben H. Donnelley Corp. are the words "Official Post Card of A CENTURY OF PROGRESS" and a card number. The color cards have numbers in the 100s and the black-and-white ones have numbers in the 200s. So far, I've seen numbers up to 150s and 250s, so I'm guessing that there might be less than 100 in each of these "official" series.
Now, about the other publishers...
Sounds like a good (but intimidating) project to create a database

... Sounds like a good (but intimidating) project to create a database ...
Creating a database like this is a very long term labor of love.
It means, for example, repeatedly searching websites, such as Card Cow,
, et al.
If means repeated contacts with tens of dealers, asking if they have anything new on your topic ... and, hint, you're gonna have to buy a few to keep them interested.
It means following-up on other sources - such as books & journals & magazines & newspapers - to get details on any cards they used as illustrations.
And it means never knowing when your universe is going to suddenly grow larger (and your progress towards the ever-elusive 'completion' diminishes) when you find that yet another publisher offered a series of relevant cards.
That being said, it *is* a very cool topic, with stamps & covers & maps & leaflets & tickets & every other sort of ephemera to liven-up your collection.

Good analysis, IkeyPikey. A complete database probably would have been easier in the later '30s and 40's. So, I think I'll try to create a database of just the "Official" postcards published by Donnelley. Because they are numbered, it should be relative easy to know when I have them all listed. With the cards I have, and those listed in various places on-line, it will be a good exercise in the possible.

Well ... its not like you have to
the information you learn about other cards from other publishers ... you can have your focused database and, say, an appendix.
And, since your enthusiasm has survived thus far ...
Postcard publishers were incestuous.
My friend Evan (z"l) lived for a time in Asheville NC, so I was chuffed to learn that there was an eponymous postcard publisher, and wondered, for a time, if I might specialize in their cards.
Only their cards were not (only) their cards. It turns-out that they licensed a large number of designs from Curt Teich (as did so many other publishers) ... and now go figure-out whether Curt Teich did the printing (adding the Asheville Postcard Company imprint) or whether they lent the separations (etc) and Asheville added the Curt Teich credit.
(One important clue is that CT serial numbers followed a certain format, and were almost always in the same place on the front of the card, so we can be comfortable
that a card with a CT s/n was printed by CT, whereas a card with only a CT credit was printed by the licensee.)
Anyway, don't be surprised to find the designs of even Official post cards on the cards of other publishers, letting you wonder who owned the design.
Welcome to the mess, and rejoice that we're playing with post cards, not doing stem cell therapy.

I like the idea of an appendix. Just filing away whatever information about other companies that is uncovered along the way.
While your are correct about companies printing each other's cards, one of the good things about Century of Progress cards is that they are common enough that I probably don't need to worry about forgeries.

The Practice
Our philosophy is to provide a "medical home" with comprehensive medical care for the whole family in an uncomplicated, small setting with easy access.
We are a solo, private practice. Patients will see only Dr. Zwaan as scheduled, requested or needed. You will benefit from continuity of care and access to Dr. Zwaan. He will direct you to any ancillary services or additional medical care as needed. Most services are conveniently available in the area.
"Private practice" means we are self-employed, with all the risks and benefits inherent in that. We make our living based on what you or your insurance pays us for your office visit. We are not paid by any other means or larger entities. We started this practice with the hope that the "old fashioned" small practice is an improvement from the current model of physician groups, for both patient and physician. Dr. Zwaan has admitting privileges at Exeter Hospital.
Practice Policies
1. Health care is a cooperative effort
. I will provide you with medical care (which includes being "on-call" for emergencies), including treatment, advice and information. In return, I expect you to provide me with all information relevant to your health and to make an effort to improve or maintain your health. This will include regular well exams ("physicals") and continuous effort to minimize self-destructive behaviors (such as smoking, excessive alcohol and overeating).
2. If an appointment is made, we expect you to keep it
. In general, we will not call to remind you of appointments. If you need a reminder, request a recall/reminder, or book your appointment closer to the time that it is needed or advised. Call to cancel if you are unable to make your appointment. The office retains the right to bill for missed appointments in the absence of a timely notification or explanation.
3. Please familiarize yourself with the rules of your insurance plan
. If necessary, call your insurance company regarding requirements or options. Sometimes routine services, such as annual physical exams, are not covered. It is your responsibility to know and understand the requirements of your particular plan. Keep us informed of any changes in your insurance.
4. Family Physicians can provide most of your medical needs
, and when necessary guide you to the appropriate specialist, as well as coordinate your care. If you have an appointment with a specialist that is a follow-up or has been previously discussed, contact us and allow 1-2 working days to properly authorize the referral. If we need more information, we may ask you to schedule a visit.
5. Prescription refills are best handled during a visit
. Bring your medications or a list to the appointment to avoid errors. Calls for refills will be handled only during regular office hours. As a rule prescription refills are not normally granted if the patient has not been seen in the past 6 months. Ask your pharmacist or insurance regarding prescription formulary questions or cheaper alternatives.
6. If you have a co-payment, it is due at the time of service
, as specified by your insurance policy. Co-insurance or balances remaining will be due immediately upon receipt of your insurance EOB or our notice to you. Secondary insurances are billed as a courtesy only. The patient is responsible for payment of the balance of the allowed charge in a timely manner. Unpaid balances are subject to a billing fee.
7. FAA examinations and other occupational exams are payable prior to services rendered, and regardless of exam result
Practicing medicine in the 21st century is challenging, especially for the primary care physician. As impersonal as these office, insurance and billing policies may seem, they are absolutely necessary.

Rural ED Doctors Make Fewer Errors When Using Telehealth, According to UC-Davis Study
Emergency department physicians in rural hospitals make fewer medication administration errors when they consult with a pediatric critical care specialist via a videoconferencing system, according to a new study published in the journal Pediatrics. UC-Davis Children's Hospital researchers found that that the ED physicians made medication administration errors 3% of the time when using telemedicine to connect with a specialist, 11% of the time when consulting with a specialist by phone and 13% of the time when not consulting with a specialist.
- "Telemedicine Consults May Reduce Errors at Rural ERs" (Pittman, Reuters, 11/25).

Muse have been announced as the second night headliners at next year's Download Festival.
Muse will headline Download Festival 2015.
The 'Plug in Baby' hitmakers will make their debut appearance at the rock event on the second night, Saturday 13 June, and are looking forward to taking to the stage in Donnington Park.
They said in a statement: ''We're really looking forward to Download. We've never played the festival before so it's going to be really special.''
Joining Muse on the main stage on the Saturday will be Faith No More, while Marilyn Manson has been confirmed as second stage headliner that night.
The trio join the previously-announced Friday acts of Slipknot - who will close the main stage - Judas Priest, Five Finger Death Punch and Black Stone Cherry.
The final headliners are expected to be announced later this week.

Lieutenant Randolph Giudice was a male Human Starfleet security officer serving in the 24th century.
By 2379, Giudice was assigned to the USS Enterprise-E, and was aboard during their mission to Tezwa. He was left in charge of the security command center in the basement of the Ilanatava on Tezwa when Security Chief Christine Vale mobilized every available crewman to take the Tezwan Assembly into protective custody and fight back an assault from deposed Prime Minister Kinchawn's insurgency forces. (TNG novel: A Time to Heal)
By 2381, he had risen to a position as a security squad leader. During the Borg Invasion of 2381, the USS Aventine and the Enterprise traveled through a subspace tunnel from the Azure Nebula, hoping to find the staging area of the Borg, but ended up near the Carina Arm near the border of the Delta and Gamma Quadrants. A fleet of Hirogen vessels attacked and boarded the two vessels, and Giudice had to defend the vessel, along with security officers Peter Davila, Neshaal th'Chun, Harley de Lange, Manfred Vogel, and Bryan Regnis, all armed with TR-116 rifles. Three of the squad died in the initial engagements, but Giudice saved the ship by throwing an energy dampener out a hull breach, allowing the emergency forcefield to engage. Giudice had been wounded by the Alpha Hirogen's bladed weaponry, but survived to receive medical aid. (ST - Destiny novel: Mere Mortals)
Giudice and fellow Enterprise security officers Kirsten Cruzen, Peter Davila, Bryan Regnis, T'Sona, and Jarata Beyn were amongst the forces temporarily transferred to the Aventine when the vessel plotted to attack and capture a Borg scout, hoping to secure its vinculum. T'Sona and Jarata implanted self-sealing anchor bolts so that the other four could grapple across the gap to the central core; Giudice had problems staying patient, and winced at the sharp sounds. As they crossed the chasm, Giudice felt his unhealed wounds, and noticed a look of pain on Davila's face as well, but found that Regnis showed no discomfort. When they landed on the other side, the previously available openings had been closed with bulkheads, and Randolph ordered Cruzen to detonate an explosive to gain entrance. The explosion also gained the attention of the Borg drones protecting the inner core, and the four fired rounds from their TR-116 until they clicked empty, six drones shy. Giudice denied Kirsten's request to use grenades as it might damage the vinculum, instead painting the advancing attackers with green splatters of gel flare, allowing friendly sharpshooters to finish the assault. (ST - Destiny novel: Lost Souls)
Giudice was part of the Enterprise security away team responding to weapons fire at the iy'Dewra'ni refugee camp in 2381. (TNG novel: Losing the Peace)

JCK or James Castady-Kristament, a name familiar to most, especially here at Muzic.net.nz. The multi-genre and multi-talented artist is back in 2018 with his new album, Glass and it's a stunner.
If you're familiar with any of his work, you'll know that Hip-Hop is predominately his jam and his self- made videos are a work of art. Well, the latter is still true, but Glass steps out of its zone for a rare treat and takes you down the well-trodden path of Heavy Metal, Hard Rock and a couple of impressive covers (David Bowie, White Zombie, anyone?)
The result is superb. For any Metal and Rock fan, it's a slab of heavy, industrial oomph with strong lyrical ability, originality and slathered with that JCK touch that makes everything unique.
The ten track album is all self-made, self-promoted and entirely different to his usual sound, and that's what makes this stand out. I think of it as a milestone album when an artist branches out with a different genre. Some are good, some are mediocre, but fear not, these ten tracks have something for everyone and you will walk away with that impressed look etched on your face. If you're really digging it like I did, it will also warrant a second and third listen, because good music should grab you like that.
If you fancy a bit of industrial-goth-steampunk heavy rock badass heavy metal rock, with some sweet videos to boot, then look no further than Glass.
Review written by Kerry Monaghan
New Zealand Hip-Hop artist JCK is all about creativity and originality. Gothic imagery, catchy well crafted songs and captivating music videos set JCK apart from the legions of look alike, sound alike Hip-Hop artists currently flooding the market.
"Most Hip-Hop artists seem to want to take you on the same journey with their music. That's usually a trip through the hood they grew up in. It's like the hoods getting over crowded with rapper tour guides. I might take you to the hood for a quick look around, but only on route to the carnival"
JCK is a multi instrumentalist as well as a rapper and singer. He produces his own music and even films, directs and edits his own music videos.

Healthcare Reform
Health Care Reform
It should come as no surprise that the United States' current health care system is in need of some major changes. Everyone knows that going to the doctor or hospital in the United States can cost a lot of money out of pocket, whether you have insurance or not. Americans who do have insurance pay into it with every pay check, only to go to the doctor and have to pay more. What it would be like to not have to worry about how much money there is in the bank when someone is sick? When a person is ill there are enough things to worry about without having to worry if they can afford the doctor bill. What are some of the pros and cons of a health care reform for the United States?
No one person or company is safe when it comes to the burdens of the rising costs and
decreasing quality of care in our current health care system. "Per-person health care
expenditures in the United States have risen 6.5 percent per year since 2000, and 5.5 percent per
year on average since 1994." (Furnas, Ben. (January 2009). "American health care since 1994:
the unacceptable status quo". Center for American Progress) Many Americans who do have
insurance are not safe from the rising costs of insurance. "Health care costs burden American
employers, who are forced to cut back on providing coverage and benefits or suffer a competitive
disadvantage against international companies who don't bear health costs." "Premiums for
employer-provided health care have doubled since 2000." (Furnas, Ben. (January 2009).
"American health care since 1994: the unacceptable status quo". Center for American Progress)
Due to the recession, many Americans have lost their jobs and are left with no
insurance. There are 46 million Americans with no health insurance. A large number that do
have health insurance are under-insured. Under-insured means that some who have insurance
are not adequately protected from high medical costs. Many people with no or little health
insurance will put off preventative care and even care they may know they need, until it is so bad
that it ends up costing even more money. Individuals with no insurance will end up being
diagnosed in later stages than those with insurance. "Effective chronic disease management and
preventive care have been woefully neglected as a national priority and should be a key piece of
any comprehensive and effective Reform." (Furnas, Ben. (January 2009). "American health care
since 1994: the unacceptable status quo". Center for American Progress) "Nearly 25% of
uninsured children and 40% of uninsured adults have no regular source of medical care."
"Inadequate insurance coverage carries with it financial as well as medical risks: the costs of
medical treatment are a leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States" (Oberlander,
Jonathan. (2002). "the U.S. health care system: on the road to nowhere?". Canadian Medical
Association Journal , 67, 163-67. ) As a "great and free" country, we can not sit by and allow
our fellow Americans to be denied medical care simply because of their income. A lot of what is
wrong with the current health care system can be shown in our infant mortality rate. It is fact
that the United States' infant mortality rates is among one of the highest. The United States
ranks 26th in the world in infant mortality. How one of the largest and most
modernized countries in the world have such a high rate? The answer to that is, it shouldn't.
A Commonwealth Fund Study found that the United States achieves "an overall score of 65 out
of 100 when comparing national averages with benchmarks of best performance achieved
internationally and within the United States." It is clear that the United States is coming in well
below the standards of health, efficiency, and care. What would it be like to have a universal...
