The Netherlands should improve its policies to attract and retain highly skilled migrants in order to address labour shortages and strengthen its position as a knowledge-based economy, according to a new OECD report.
The European Union should reform its legal labour migration policies to get its fair share of the global talent pool, according to a new report published by the OECD.
Sweden should address housing shortages, begin integration activities early, and improve the support for those with low skills to speed up the effective integration of refugees, according to a new OECD report.
The heads of the OECD and UNHCR, at a joint high-level Conference on the integration of beneficiaries of international protection in Paris today, have called on governments to scale up their efforts to help refugees integrate and contribute to the societies and economies of Europe.
Taking into account the severity of the crisis, a strong response of the international community is required to provide adequate support to the many refugees and asylum seekers and to better share the cost and strengthen international coordination.
OECD countries are facing an unprecedented refugee crisis and the situation requires a comprehensive and co-ordinated international response to address the immediate needs of asylum seekers and the longer-term challenge of helping them integrate. This is the main message of two new OECD documents, the 2015 International Migration Outlook and a Policy Brief on the Refugee Crisis.
OECD Secretary General Angel Gurría welcomes the initiative of President Francois Hollande and Chancellor Angela Merkel to put forward a structural and ambitious response to the current refugee crisis.
The children of immigrants continue to face major difficulties integrating in OECD countries, especially in the European Union, where their poor educational outcomes leave many struggling to find work, according to a new OECD/EU report.
Germany is both the OECD's second-largest country of immigration and one of the main origin countries of emigrants: 3.4 million people born in Germany were living in another OECD country in 2011, says a new OECD report "Talent Abroad: A Review of German Emigrants".
On the occasion of the OECD High Level Policy Forum on Migration taking place on December 1 and 2 2014, Secretary General Angel Gurria congratulates President Obama on taking action to address the unsustainable situation of undocumented immigrants.

If Plotinus were around today he'd revel in a chaotic universe which appears affected by the consciousness contained therein. The 'seer' determines the 'seen' of the quantum realm.There, our Self-seeing is a communion with the Self, restored to purity. No doubt we should not speak of "seeing," but, instead of [speaking of] "seen" and "seer," speak boldly of a simple unity. For in this seeing we neither see, nor distinguish, nor are there, two. The man is changed, no longer himself nor belonging to himself; he is merged with the Supreme, sunken into It, one with It; it is only in separation that duality exists. This is why the vision baffles telling; for how could a man bring back tidings of the Supreme as something separate from himself when he has seen It as one with himself?
Think of all our knowledge-generating processes, our whole culture and civilization, and all the thought processes in the minds of every individual, and indeed the entire evolving biosphere as well, as being a gigantic computation. The whole thing is executing a self-motivated, self-generating computer program. More specifically it is, as I have mentioned, a virtual-reality program in the process of rendering, with ever-increasing accuracy, the whole of existence.
Please backtrack, I'm all for stream of consciousness rantings, but there's a lot to be said for plain old English sentences.

After all, I undertook to tell several trillion years of human history in the space of a short story and I leave it to you as to how well I succeeded. I also undertook another task, but I won't tell you what that was lest l spoil the story for you.
It is a curious fact that innumerable readers have asked me if I wrote this story. They seem never to remember the title of the story or (for sure) the author, except for the vague thought it might be me. But, of course, they never forget the story itself especially the ending. The idea seems to drown out everything -- and I'm satisfied that it should.

2019 UCI World Masters Track Cycling Championships DAY 7, Friday, OCT 18
Day 7 of the UCI World Masters Track Cycling championships at the Manchester Velodrome saw seven World Titles awarded with three going to the host nation and one each for Australia, Argentina, USA and New Zealand.
The day began with a big session of Women's Sprinting before there was a break in proceedings before the riders came back for the evening session and the finals to decide those seven world championships in bunch racing, team pursuiting, team sprint and match sprinting.
The Scratch races were especially exciting and in the first one, one of the country's top time trialists as well as being an accomplished road racer, Simon Wilson of Ribble Pro Cycling, attacked off the front and managed to solo his way to taking a lap.
Poland's Michal Ladosz who had shown in the Points race he won earlier in the week, what a power house he is, did likewise but Wilson wasn't finished and he then took another flyer off the front solo and whilst Michal Ladosz dragged the bunch along behind him chasing the eventual winner, Wilson carried on out front all the way to the line and took a popular victory. Michal Ladosz was second thanks to his lap take whilst Alistair Rutherford won the sprint from the bunch behind Wilson.
In the Men's 40/44 Scratch, the attacks kept on coming from the likes of Martin Lonie and Ben Neppl as well as others but as quick as a move was established, it was brought back. Then, Dario Pagliaricci of Argentina went solo off the front and was then joined by compatriot Leandro Emilio Lopez. The two of them established a big gap that the bunch was never going to close whilst they failed to organise a chase which they didn't and the two leaders were never caught.
The sprint for third brought the gap down but the two leaders managed to hold on to finish 1-2 for Argentina whilst Scotland's Martin Lonie continued his country's excellent run of results with third.
Another edge of the seat race was the Team Sprint final for Gold between Australia and Great Britain. There was so little between the two teams the result could have gone either way but the Aussies held on to a narrow lead to take the Gold from GB with the USA beating Poland in another close final for the bronze. In the Men's 55/64 Team Pursuit there looked like being an upset as the Aussies, who had been six seconds slower in qualifying, took an early lead.
Despite going down to three men, the team from the USA (Chris Carlson, David Precutl, Larry Nolan, Bill Brissman) was making big inroads into the Aussie team's lead in the second half of the Pursuit and soon the USA were racing away with the title, catching the Aussies in the final metres of the race for Gold. The team from Scotland won the bronze by catching a team from Great Britain after three and a half minutes of the pursuit.
That just left three Sprint finals. The closest of the races was in the Men's 65 to 69 category where Britain's David Hughes won the title two heats to one by beating Graeme Litt of New Zealand.
There were three heats in the fight for the bronze medal as well won by Christian Muselet of France from Robert Pelegrin of the USA.
In the Men's 70-74 final for Gold, it was two riders from Down Under battling it out, Colin Claxton of New Zealand and Rod Price of Australia. Whilst Price pushed Claxton all the way to the line, the Kiwi won the Gold in two straight rides. Ignacio Efren Ortellado Quiroga of Paraguay won his Bronze medal final in two rides against Danish rider Steffen Munch Hansen.
The final sprint of the day was the Men's 75+ and in this, a rider with countless sprint titles over the decades to his name, Geoff Cooke saw off the challenge from James Kloss of the USA in two straight rides. In the Bronze medal final, a prolific winner on the road during his glory days, Keith Oliver of Australia, showed the speed he used for winning many a race on the track to win the Bronze medal in two straight rides against Michael Brent of the USA.
The final day of racing sees the riders return to the track at 9.30 in the morning for some Pursuiting before a break and then the final session at 12.30 culminating in the Cossavella Memorial Trophy race.

text: SHE told us in October that a full footwear collection wasn't really on the cards, but following on from the success of her Preziosa range - a collection of ultra-luxe sandals that fit snugly into their very own ultra-luxe bag for fashionistas on the go - handbag design force ** Pia Tonna** is sticking by her footwear calling and adding a ballerina style for autumn/winter 2008-9. "The collection was inspired by the Sixties, especially 1967-1969, so I used lots of artistic references for the collection - from the metal sculptures of Barbara Hepworth to the optic illusion art of Vasarely," she tells us. Expect the Piatonna mark of distinction (visit www.piatonna.com to see exactly what we mean); the shoes - which come in the label's signature optic lasered leather, or black python - are cut low around the sides and have a silver strap to keep them in place.

Course Basics
Anthropology 315-00
Anthropology of Food
Instructor Information
Dr. Benjamin Carter
Up-to-date contact information (including office hours) is available here
General Policies
You are required to read Dr. Carter's Policies. You are responsible for understanding and following these policies. If you have a question, please ask in class as your fellow students will benefit.
Course Description
Food is a central axis for examining a suite of important anthropological issues, including health/nutrition, subsistence economy, gender roles/relations, ritual/ceremonial life, social inequality, political power, and many more. In this course, we consider these issues through an examination of the archaeological record in many places and many times. Thus, we must also consider the methods that archaeologists use to identify, quantify, and make arguments from their data. We will take a cross-cultural, case-study approach to combine our interest in the above issues with an understanding of archaeological methods.
We will begin with an overview of how food studies are situated within archaeology today and what the various methods are that archaeologists use to study food. When we consider food as a topic of study, we consider it more broadly in terms of foodways—that is, the cultural milieu within which food and food practices are situated. To understand past food practices, we consider a variety of evidence, including the food remains, food containers and serving wares, areas of food preparation and consumption, and the human body as a record of consumption. After spending a few weeks considering the methods of food analysis, we will move onto a more issue-centered approach and consider such topics as cannibalism, feasting, luxury foods, status, gender, and ethnicity. How do we identify these issues archaeologically and how is food used to signal individual and group identity?
Course Objectives
Students will be able to:
- Assess the role of food in human society.
- Describe anthropology's unique contribution to an inclusive and holistic understanding of human biology and society.
- Discuss the important role of archaeology in understanding some of the most important developments in the human past.
- Describe the different archaeological methods that we can use to understand food and their appropriate uses.
- Converse about the importance of food in both cohesive and divisive activities within the human past and provide specific examples of such.
- Understand and assess the ways that different societies throughout the world and in the past use food.
- Assess different types of data and bring them together to produce a broader interpretation.
- Apply an archaeological understanding of food in society to modern issues.
In terms of research and writing, students will be able to:
- summarize arguments concisely
- synthesize different forms of data
- evaluate evidence and arguments
- write in a professional academic style
- present research material clearly
We will not be reading a textbook in this class, but rather a series of archaeological articles on a variety of different topics. Assigned readings will be available on our LMS (Learning Management System), known as Canvas.
Class LMS
For this course, we will be using our Learning Management System (LMS) known as Canvas. Our syllabus, schedule and all course materials live on Canvas. You will turn in most assignments via Canvas. Canvas provides excellent online documentation for nearly anything. Here is a link to the Student Guide (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. However, even Canvas representatives have encouraged us to just Google "canvas lms" and whatever you want to do (e.g., find calendar). I highly encourage you to download the app (just Google "Canvas lms" along with your platform, e.g., "IOS" or "Android") and/or synchronize your Canvas calendar with your calendar on your phone/computer using the iCal feed.
Distribution of assessments
- Questions and Terms- 20%
- Summaries- 10%
- Three Exams- 30%
- Research Paper- 30%
- Participation- 10%
Questions and Terms: Each class you are responsible for producing one thought-provoking question and one important term. These questions and terms will form the basis of much of our in-class discussion.
General Instructions
You will enter both terms and questions on a Google spreadsheets linked through Canvas.
Each reading will have it's own "tab." If it does not have one, make one (using Author lastname and date as the name)!
Your question or term cannot replicate those of your classmates.
Therefore, because we are doing this assignment by priority, the earlier you complete your part, the more flexibility you will have.
You must complete these by 9 am on the day we are to discuss the reading.
One question/term per reading (not per day) per person.
Instructions for questions-
These are intended to be discussion questions. They should be broad and theoretical, not easily and quickly answered.
- Good question- What are some potential reasons for cannibalism?
- Not a good question- Were there marks on the bones from Moulin Guercy?
They must cover a significant portion of the text.
This includes a question for video(s) as well.
Instructions for term-
One term per person per article (video not included here)
Include terms that are important to the article.
These may include terms that you do not originally know, but need to look up (use encyclopedic resources through library, including the Encyclopedia of Archaeology!) or terms that you already know, but that you find are particularly significant or central to the reading.
Define each of your terms in your own words.
Each class, one student will be assigned the responsibility of writing a summary of one of the articles for the day.
- A full reference should be included at the top of the summary.
- These summaries must be clear, concise and well-written.
- As a summary they should include all the major portions of the reading and hit important high points.
- They should also indicate how they connect to food and archaeology.
- They will be read aloud to the rest of the class at the beginning of the daily discussion.
- They should be between ¾ -1 page.
- They must be completed by one hour prior to the beginning of class.
Please submit these via Canvas.
Exams are take home essays. They are designed to help you synthesize material. You will be given a choice of 2-3 questions one week in advance of the exam day. You will choose one of these questions and write a 4-6 page essay. Essays must adhere to the rubric you will be given.The day on the calendar is the day the essay is due. We will spend class time discussing your essays and on activities that require little work before class (such as an important film).
Research Paper
The single most important assignment for this class is your research paper. More instructions are located on this website.
You are required to participate in each and every class. This will be assessed to the best of my ability. There are a few basic principles to remember to ensure a good grade.
First, COME TO CLASS. Is there any question why this is important? Yes, I will take attendance!
Second, READ all of the required material. That does not mean look at each and every word on the assigned pages. It means actually try to understand everything that is written. This is not a quick process.
Third, THINK. I will present you with a large amount of material. You need to think about it. If you regurgitate what I say, you will likely pass. If you think about what I say and ask probing questions, you will learn. You are the only one who can decide which is more important.
The schedule is available on Canvas. Be aware that, as of the first day of class, it does not yet include every single item. More will be added as they approach during the semester. The schedule below is the same one that will appear in your calendar in Canvas. This calendar is not static and will change based upon our progress through different topics. You need to pay close attention to the calendar. All assignments for a class will be posted by the preceding class. You will be given more warning for long term assignments.

Topic Page: Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region
(Kwangsi) Autonomous region in S China; the capital is Nanning. It was established in 1958 for the Zhuang, China's largest minority nationality. Its mountainous terrain limits cultivation. Minerals include manganese, zinc, tin, tungsten, and antimony. Industries: oil refining, fertilizers. Area: 220,495sq km (85,133sq mi). Pop. (2000) 44,890,000.
Autonomous region in south China, bounded to the north by Guizhou, to the northeast by Hunan, to the east by Guangdong, to the south by the Gulf of Tongking, to the southwest by Vietnam, and to the west by Yunnan; area 236,700 sq km/91,400 sq mi; population (2013 est) 47,190,000 (including the Zhuang people, related to the Thai, who form China's largest ethnic minority). The capital is Nanning; other main cities are Guilin, Liuzhou, and Wuzhou. Tourism is an important part of the economy, and the main industries are sugar-refining, metallurgy, fishing(in the Gulf of Tongking), and food- and timber-processing. Because of the tropical climate, the cultivation of crops is possible throughout the year, with rice, maize, barley, millet, sugar cane, tropical fruits, and tea being the main crops.
History A Qin dynasty army attempted to assimilate Guangxi into the Chinese Empire in 214 BC. However, while the eastern and southern parts of Guangxi came under Chinese rule, the west was largely controlled by Zhuang chieftains. A region on the edge of China, it was famed in historical times for its mountain scenery and its exotic local produce. The Japanese occupied a small enclave on the coast around Beihai in 1938, and occupied the rest of the province in the winter of 1944–45 in order to deny the US Air Force the airfields at Liuzhou and Guilin, used for bombing raids on Japanese territory. Guangxi province became Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 1955.
Topography The area is mostly hilly with rather poor soils, consisting largely of the upper basin of the Xi Jiang River which runs through the province from west to east. In the northern parts of the province, especially around the old capital of Guilin, there are remarkable limestone formations.
Climate Guangxi's climate is tropical in the south and sub-tropical in the north. The growing season lasts throughout the year and summers are hot and humid.
People There are over 6 million Zhuang, a Thai people, in Guangxi and they form China's largest single ethnic minority; for this reason the province was designated the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The Zhuang are related to the Dai, or Tai, of Yunnan province and the Thai of Thailand, who migrated from a common home in the mountains of southwest China. Other minority peoples include the Hmong, Yao, Maonan, Mulao, Jing, and Yi.

It's no surprise for you to read that I'd like to say "all's good" for stock buying right now but it's not. The Trump trade war, the strong US economy and its implications for inflation, as well as interest rates on top of the debt that bankrolled us out of a potential Great Depression, are all making unbridled positivity impossible.
And the pressure has been particularly piled on overnight, despite a not-so-great jobs report out of the US. When I saw the Dow down over 200 points on bounding out of bed, I thought: "Another good jobs number, which means higher expectations of faster rising interest rates and so stocks down."

Named both the Big South Player of the Week and Freshman of the Week, Dwayne Sutton scored 18 points for the Bulldogs while Kevin Vannatta and Sam Hughes added 13 and 11 points, respectively.
East Tennessee State (4-5) shot 47.1 percent from the field (24 of 51), including 6 of 16 from long range.

I have a laptop with a very dim screen that I could only see a little of the desktop image with a flashlight. I tried to connect the computer with an external monitor and it worked fine until today the external monitor could no longer detect my computer even I tried to switch with the Fn F3 keys (which worked in the past few days). I tested the external monitor and it worked with another laptop computer.
I just had a new LCD screen replaced a month ago when the old one began to flicker (I ain't really sure it that was really a brand new screen). This new screen worked fine but began to flicker a week ago and one day I heard a small noise and it went black (very dim and the brightness couldn't be adjusted).
Would it be the video card, the inverter or the backlight problems, or even the motherboard?
The computer is no longer under warranty. Is there any way that I could get it work with the external monitor again before I can make a trip to the technician?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Seems like a double whammy to me....I think your replacement LCD went out (either the bulb or the inverter), AND your graphics adapter failed as well, if you cannot get external video to show. (Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I hate laptops....)
MOOOOooove! OH and you're welcome!
Thanks. yeah notebooks often let me down, but i need them to fix my working habits.
any other suggestions, guys?

Help from Guaranteed Rate is helping me move forward. At each step in the process I had outstanding service.
Marilyn M. - August | 2018
The experience was one of the best experiences I've had, Christin and her team were professional attentive and always ready to answer any question I had. In my opinion, they simplified (at least for me) what could have been a very long and draining process. If they aren't already, they should be considered the gold standard when it comes to a process like this.

Purchasing a property was possible because of Guaranteed Rate. I have already recommended it to my friends. Thank you!
Rabindra P. | June 2018
We had very difficult and challenging metrics to deal with. From day one, Christin Luckman assured she would get it done for us. It was a wild ride and in the end, Christin and her team got the deal done for us. By preparing a very professional package, Christin and her team were able to obtain verifiable exceptions to help us get the home we wanted for our family. I've known this team for almost 10 years so there is no doubt we would go back when the need arises again.
Shuaib S. | June 2018
Christin Luckman and team were excellent through the entire process. What was to be a simple purchase transaction was complicated due to an undisclosed probate matter. Through a tough and emotional period of waiting for court order to close, the team at GR were responsive to our regular inquiries regarding next steps and options should the deal collapse. In the end, the closing went smoothly. Our expectations were met!
Jose R. | June 2018
It wasn't easy, your team made it happen, I do thank everyone for your help. Yes I do have three people interested in buying home, I had already given your information. Thanks again God bless

Shalini M. - Chicago, IL | APR 2016
Christin Luckman and her team were amazing throughout the entire process. Proactive, responsive when I had questions and contributed to an enjoyable process.
Scott C. - Chicago, IL | APR 2016
Christin made the process so easy for us to refinance when we thought it might be impossible. We're going to save so much off of our loan and the whole process was simple since we could submit so much online. We only had to meet someone in person to sign the final document and even that was catered completely to our schedule and location. It couldn't have been easier!

Christin Luckman is an outstanding loan officer

Gabriel C. -- Chicago, IL. -- 6/2013

Christin was EXTREMELY close with her estimate of closing costs and I was able to come prepared with my cashier's check. In addition, once the documents were signed, it was a very quick turnaround to obtain the final approval. Christin is the Best!"
Cynthia F. -- Chicago, IL. -- 8/2013
"Everything was great. Christin was awesome, she answered our questions quickly and really made this a painless process. I'd definitely recommend you."
George T. -- Chicago, IL. -- 9/2013

Ellen Demos plays the Betty Carter elastic scat card so perfectly that she may be considered its standard bearer today. She proves this time and again on Osmosis. From the get-go, "You Don't Know What Love Is" is very different from that of Chet Baker that we have grown accustomed to. The glee increases with the inclusion of the bang-up renditions of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" and "Angel." "River of Tears" is dispatched as a jazz-folk expression of American country & western music, while "'Round Midnight" is read in such a unique way that it may better Miles' 1950s expression.
Get used to it. Ellen Demos is here and she will be going nowhere. We should count ourselves fortunate that there is such a daring vocalist out there to challenge us.
Osmosis can be purchased from CD Baby on the web.

Staring Down the Opioid Crisis
The Indiana Harbor Light Center helps the hopeless stand strong.
According to the Department of Justice, drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 50. More people died from drug overdoses in 2014 than any year on record and the majority of drug overdose deaths (more than six out of ten) involved an opioid.
The President of the United States has now declared the opioid crisis a National Emergency. This designation will offer State and Federal Agencies more resources to help combat the growing problem.
This National Emergency can be seen all over the United States. In Indiana, a state hit especially hard by this epidemic, trips to the ER due to drug overdoses increased by nearly 60% in a recent five-year period.
The Salvation Army Indiana Harbor Light Center (HLC) and Majors K. Kendall and Katrina Mathews are on the front lines working to combat the opioid addiction and overdose epidemic.
According to Indiana Senator Jim Merritt, the HLC is second only to the government in providing services to the addiction community. The HLC offers the following five-step recovery process:
- Detoxification
- Residential Treatment
- Transitional Housing
- Outpatient Treatment and
- Relapse Prevention
In July 2017, 80% of the HLC graduates were clean and sober at the time of discharge and 72% completed the program employed or with an otherwise promising source of income.
These strong results are due, in large part, to the accredited, clinical holistic support received at HLC. Aftercare, with family and community involvement, is another important component crucial to the HLC'S continued success. The HLC has been successfully aiding addiction recovery since 1949 and boasts and overall 27% success rate.
Victor, a current residential assistant at HLC, is one of many success stories. When he first arrived at HLC, he had been living a life of addiction, violence and prison. He was tired and hopeless. But today he is full of hope and is helping to bring strength and experience to new clients and those in need of support.
Those fighting on the front lines of this epidemic need more support. Since the Opioid crisis has now been declared a National Emergency, much needed funds, support and awareness should be heading to Major Mathews and the HLC. Major Mathews is hopeful for the future, "The people we help today, we see hope in them when their lives are at a hopeless situation. We see love when they're unlovable. We see joy when there is no joy. We see optimism even if they're pessimistic. We can never lose hope. That's what drives us—that tomorrow is a new day."

Typically, an offshore holding company is set up to passively hold shares of another company. Although an offshore company is very flexible and can be integrated into a wide variety of business arrangements, it is typically not a company used to operate a business.
Advantages of setting up an offshore holding company is that if you incorporate it in the right structure you are able to minimise withholding taxes when dividends are paid to the holding company, and you can potentially receive such passive income free from tax. Furthermore, an offshore company can be easily used for your very own privacy motives. If you are not keen to show that you own a particular business, you can choose to set up your offshore company to be used solely as a holding company as typically, offshore companies are incorporated in jurisdictions which do not have a public register of directors, shareholders or ultimate beneficial owners.
In few words, offshore holding companies are synonym of reduced tax and high confidentiality. Having said that, an offshore company formed in a tax-free country does not mean it goes above complicated tax regulations that are in force in your own country, which would normally be a high-tax jurisdiction. But a clever use of an offshore company can reduce or completely eliminate tax that would be otherwise payable. Incorporating in such offshore jurisdictions which are tax and hassle free allows start-up businesses to grow faster.

On June 6th, Toronto transit is set to reach a major milestone with the opening of the Union Pearson Express, connecting two of the foremost transit hubs in Canada with an airport rail link. On May 25th, UrbanToronto rode the new Metrolinx train from Union Station to Pearson International Airport, previewing the journey 1.5 million riders are projected to make in the coming year.
The journey begins from the spacious Union Station platform (profiled yesterday), where we board one of the UP Express' new Nippon Sharyo DMU trains, set to make the 25 minute trip to Terminal 1 at Pearson International Airport.
Stepping through the level-entry platform screen doors, the interior decor of the train is characterized by soft earth tones, with a subtle interplay of copper, pumpkin, and sage (the official colours of the UP Express) hues seen on the interior fabric (below). Likewise, the otherwise sleek, metallic exterior (above), is accented by stripes of the same colour pallet, giving the train a discrete yet recognizable style.
Riding the UP Express is relaxing and comfortable, with the smooth passage of the train a far cry from rush hour traffic of the 401. The cabin configuration is spacious, with a wide central corridor and ample space for luggage provided in the racks at the front and back of each cabin. Each seat comes equipped with an electrical outlet, while fold-down tray tables accommodate food and drink, as well as computer use—the trains and stations are equipped with free, high-speed wi-fi—which will prove a certain boon to time-strapped business travelers, fidgety children, and everyone in between.
As the train departs Union Station, an impressive urban vista immediately presents itself from the large windows. Picking up speed, views of South Core and the Financial District skyscrapers quickly give way to CityPlace and Fort York, then Liberty Village and the Gladstone Hotel.
Past Dufferin Street, we race by an eclectic collage of west end row houses, older industrial buildings, and slab apartment towers. After stopping at Bloor Street and at Lawrence Avenue and passing through a couple of gently raked tunnels, we suddenly find ourselves passing over the leafy Humber River ravine, the city views now replaced by golf course and forest. Moving towards Malton, we get a close-up glimpse of the Woodbine Racetrack as the train nears its final destination at Terminal 1.
Since our test run only briefly pauses at the Bloor and Weston stations, our entire journey takes only slightly over 20 minutes. Even with the two full stops during revenue service, however, the ride will take just under 25 minutes, giving travelers a scenic tour through a diverse cross-section of Toronto neighborhoods while minimizing total travel time.
On the technical side, the UP Expresses' new Nippon Sharyo DMU trains make this the first rail service in North America to use Tier 4 diesel, reducing emissions by 80-90% compared to previous technology. Metrolinx has purchased 18 cars in total, which can operate in a two-car (seen above) or three-car configuration, seating between 115 and 173 passengers respectively. The service will operate between 5:30 and 1:00 AM daily, making approximately 140 trips per day in total.
We will return tomorrow with photos from our visit to UP Express' platform at Pearson, and we will provide further updates when Toronto's long-anticipated airport rail link enters into regular service on June 6th. Until then, we leave you with a video of highlights from the journey:

Meet the U.S. Companies Helping Censor the Arab Web
Author: John Hudson, Atlantic Wire [USA]
While the U.S. State Department spends millions of dollars helping people in the Middle East circumvent Web censorship, a handful of California companies are providing autocratic Middle East regimes with the technology to censor the Web, reports The Wall Street Journal...U.S. companies are competing abroad to deliver web-blocking technologies to, in some cases, stridently repressive regime... McAfee...[part of Intel] has sold content-filtering software to Internet-service providers in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia, reports the Journal. The company['s]...SmartFilter...can block a range of web content deemed politically or "religiously offensive."... Blue Coat Systems...has provided web-blocking technology and hardware in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar says the Journal... Palo Alto Networks...provides even more comprehensive web blocking technology than McAfee... Websense...first discovered that Yemen was using its technology to dismantle privacy tools of web surfers two years ago. Publicly, the company said those companies violated its anticensorship policy and it would stop giving the offenders its "website-block lists." However, those Websense tools were still being used in Yemen as recently as August. In their defense, the companies say they can't be held responsible for how customers use their product. "Obviously what an individual customer would do with a product once they acquire it is beyond our control," said a Blue Coat spokesperson.

U.S. Products Help Block Mideast Web
Author: Paul Sonne & Steve Stecklow, Wall Street Journal
McAfee [part of Intel]...has provided content-filtering software used by Internet-service providers in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, according to interviews with buyers and a regional reseller. Blue Coat Systems…has sold hardware and technology in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar that has been used...to block websites...A regulator in Bahrain, which uses McAfee's SmartFilter product, says the government is planning to switch soon to…Palo Alto Networks… Netsweeper…has landed deals in the UAE, Qatar and Yemen, according to a company document. Websense...has a policy that states it "does not sell to governments or Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that are engaged in government-imposed censorship." But it has sold its Web-filtering technology in Yemen, where it has been used to block online tools that let people disguise their identities from government monitors… Websense's general counsel said in a 2009 statement about the incident: "On rare occasion things can slip through the cracks."... Joris Evers, a McAfee spokesman [said,] "Obviously what an individual customer would do with a product once they acquire it is beyond our control." A spokesman for Blue Coat made similar points..."They could build into the software something that signals and, in fact, sends back to them exactly what kind of filtering is taking place," says Jonathan Zittrain, a professor…at Harvard Law School. "...it's just their customer wouldn't like it."...Two years ago, OpenNet Initiative researchers found that Yemen was using filtering software from Websense to block privacy tools. In response, the company said it stopped providing the ISPs involved with its latest website-block lists since the ISPs violated its anticensorship policy. The new OpenNet report says Websense tools and services appeared to still be used in Yemen as recently as August. The company declined to comment. The report also found that in January, new filtering software was being used in Yemen from…Netsweeper. "Filtering decisions are made by the entity that decides to filter," says Scott O'Neill, Netsweeper's director of sales and marketing. "Much as Ford Motor Co. can't decide how [its customers] are going to drive their cars." [also refers to Qualitynet, Batelco, Du (Emirates Integrated Telecommunications)]

West Censoring East: The Use of Western Technologies by Middle East Censors, 2010-2011
Author: Helmi Noman & Jillian York, OpenNet Initiative; foreword by Ronald Deibert, John Palfrey, Rafal Rohozinski, Jonathan Zittrain
...[In] this paper, we analyze the use of American- and Canadian-made software for the purpose of government-level filtering in the Middle East and North Africa...[The] authors find that nine countries in the region utilize Western-made tools for the purpose of blocking social and political content, effectively blocking a total of over 20 million Internet users from accessing such websites. The authors analyze as well the increasing opacity of the usage of Western-made tools for filtering at the national level...
[Foreword:] This is not simply a case of a general purpose, neutral tool being used for an end not contemplated by its maker. The filtering products of today engage in regular communications with their makers, updating lists of millions of websites to block across dozens of content categories, including political opposition and human rights. When McAfee Smartfilter [part of Intel] or Websense do their utmost to maintain lists of non-profit and advocacy groups their efforts directly affect what citizens in some authoritarian regimes can and cannot access online...
That Netsweeper publically declares that it offers its software for use to implement government censorship on political and religious grounds highlights the fact that there is currently no effective accountability system on the practices of the commercial software companies vis-à-vis human rights.

I have just finished my attachment at Ward 75 of SGH.
When I first stepped into Ward 75 on 22 October, all the staff nurses were poker-faced. I groaned to myself, "Oh no, how am I going to survive the two weeks here?"
It turned out not really that bad. The nurses became friendlier once we got to know them. It's just that they don't really take us as junior staff nurses who are going to pass out soon, but rather as EN and AN. I think I will be able to pass with flying colours if I were training to be an EN or AN.
Let's not talk about that stupid ward anymore. I am more worried about my PRCP right now. I heard from my teacher and friends that they will throw six patients at you and expect you to do evreything. I am so DEAD. The most I have done is two cases at one go, how am I going to make survive with six. I still have so many thing that I don't know, like how to discharge a patient and I am totally clueless about all the diferent drugs, the indications, the side effects and all. HOW?
I realised just recently that I work better when I am in a good and carefree mood. How I am going to achieve that I have really no idea. However, I do know that I operate better when I have enough sleep. I am really not one of those people who can still perform when they had only two hours of sleep the night before. So I had a good rest last night and only woke up at nine this morning.
As for the good and carefree mood part, maybe a good book or a bicycle ride along east Coast Park might help. Since it is the weekends now, I am going to do jus that. Let see what happens then.

Memorial Day Weekend!
We spent Memorial Day weekend at our lakehouse at Grand Lake. So much fun! We spent time with good friends in the neighborhood, cooked out, took the boat out, ate lots of great food, took naps, and just relaxed. Here are some fun pics from the weekend. Funny note, everytime we turn the boat on, Jackson falls fast asleep...sometimes even sitting up! (as you can see in the pic of him sitting on Renzi's lap). It's really quite funny. The video is of Jack Regan and Jackson out on a "walk" with their daddies. Amazing what happens when the mom's are not around. Can you guess what they jumped on and had the wagon being pulled by?
Sadly, we won't be back at the lake until at least July 4th weekend, because Isaiah is coming soon! :) 2 weeks from tomorrow and we will get to meet our new little man!

Soooo Big!
Most of you will remember this picture from last summer....it was actually on Jackson's first birthday party invitation. Well, here he is...almost a year later in the same pose saying..."Sooo Big!" I can't believe how much my boy has grown up in a year! Enjoy this video of Jackson and Cali in the pool last weekend as well. :)

FAT S and Saturday in the pool!
We had a ton of fun last weekend at our house! We had our first FATS (friday at the Stones!). We had the Hesketts and the Peters over for burgers and fun. These are some of the pictures from Friday night....where the kids went "skinny dipping" and had watermelon. I love it that Summer time is almost here!
Saturday was spent outside and Jackson and Dad had their first swim...even though it was freezing in the water! Jackson did not like swimming as much as last year, but we are hoping he will change his mind soon. :)

New Due Date!
So, I went to the doctor today for my two week check up....and it looks like our newest little man will be gracing us with his presence a little earlier than expected! Dr. Nelson is going to perform my C-Section Monday, June 15th. So, that means.....exactly one month until we get to meet baby Isaiah! And, she's expecting this baby to be a BIG one...she said she wouldn't be surprised if this baby isn't 9 plus pounds...eek! (guess that c-section may come in handy after all!). Please pray for a safe and smooth last month of pregnancy and delivery for our precious second baby. God has truely blessed us with Jackson and I just can not wait to add another precious boy to our family.

Severely Pregnant.
Someone just asked me at the post office if I was having twins.
That's awesome.
No. I am not.
I am just carrying a very large little boy.
I am really pregnant.
That's all I have to say about that.

Since our eyes are all shaped differently, a one-size-fits-all makeup approach just doesn't exist. Last week, we showed you how to enhance eyes with single lids, and now, we're tackling the always-alluring almond eye. Our go-to beauty pro, Bethany Brill, has the easiest-ever advice for how to create an eye-catching look. (See what we did there?) And, if your lids don't match the almond description, stay on the look-out (ugh, we can't stop!) for future videos — there's more eye-enhancing goodness to come.

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
by Mary Calmes
Released: July 19, 2013
Series: A Matter of Time #7
Published by Dreamspinner Press
Pages: 264
PARTING SHOT is just an all around great book and definitely one of my favorite M/M reads this year. ~ Under the Covers
I have Helyce of Smexybooks to thank for introducing me into this series. After she read it, she told me about just how much she adored Duncan and Aaron's story. Quickly realizing that this was a book I had to check out, I grabbed it and found myself falling in love with this book.
Mary Calmes pens a moving, sexy and romantic story that checks all the boxes for me. PARTING SHOT is book seven in the Matter of Time series, but it's the first book that I've read from this author. I never once felt lost, so I do believe it can be read as a standalone. However, there are a few walk-on appearances from previous characters in the series that I think loyal fans will appreciate.
There are so many things I loved about this book. The first thing is the writing style. I slipped into this story like it was second skin. There was no adjusting, just enjoyment and I found myself flying through this book. I didn't want to stop for bed. Calmes just hits it in all the right places. The dialogue can be funny. The narration can be sweet. The sex scenes can be steamy and the action scenes suspenseful. PARTING SHOT is just an all around great book and definitely one of my favorite M/M reads this year.
I immediately fell in love with Duncan's narration, especially how he described this moments with Aaron. From the first page, Calmes is building a romance and she doesn't take any short cuts. Aaron and Duncan have their ups and their downs, but you still definitely feel the core connection that they both share.
Not the mention that the sex scenes are wicked hot and have a whole lot of heart as well! I was giddy with excitement at finding an author who excels at writing hot scenes while also keeping the heart engaged. I felt like you could feel their passion without being cheesy.
Also, I really loved the details we get about Duncan's work. It just adds another dimension to an already well-done storyline. It's quite amazing how Calmes is able to fit all this into one book without having it feel convoluted with so much emotion and information. There's a great balance here that nicely complements the romance.
There's absolutely no question that I will be going back to start from the very beginning. I have a feeling that this might become a new obsession of mine.
*Review Copy provided by publisher
Did you like this review? If so, please tell us your thoughts in the comments!
When it comes to books I'm pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it's got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I'll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.
When I'm not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let's talk books!

Snapshot Reports
The Snapshot Reports are an analysis of the dataset underlying the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) LED Lighting Facts Product List. These reports are designed to help retailers, distributors, designers, utilities, energy efficiency program sponsors, and other industry stakeholders understand the current state of the LED lighting market and its trajectory.
March 2017 Snapshot: Industrial Luminaires
"Industrial" luminaires are prevalent in both the commercial and industrial sectors, providing economical ambient lighting in large, open indoor spaces such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and big-box retail stores. Industrial luminaires are divided into two categories: low-bay and high-bay. Typically, low-bay fixtures are used for heights up to 20 feet, whereas high-bay fixtures are used where ceilings exceed 20 feet. Given the space demands, high-lumen-output luminaires are required, with low-bay options typically emitting between 5,000 and 20,000 lumens per fixture and high-bay options emitting between 15,000 and 100,000 lumens per fixture.
Prior to this report, the last time a CALiPER Snapshot included industrial fixtures was in April 2014. A lot has changed since then. For one thing, the LED Lighting Facts database now has almost four times the number of products listed, and the average efficacy of listed products has increased by more than 25%. These changes are also apparent when specifically considering industrial luminaires. In June 2014, the mean efficacy for listed industrial luminaires was 93 lm/W; today, it is about 20% higher, at 115 lm/W. Approximately 23% of the listed industrial products have a luminous efficacy greater than 130 lm/W, with 5% exceeding 150 lm/W and 1% exceeding 175 lm/W. These values are substantially higher than the average efficacy of metal halide and fluorescent fixtures, which typically fall between 70 and 90 lm/W.

Quill Pen
This single line font brings to mind olden times when pen and ink quills were used. Each letter flows smoothly into the next for flawless results on every project. Engravers, this opens up a brand new and unique option for customizing bracelets lockets, charms, and more. For crafters using pen tools, embossing tools, and foil quilling tools, Quill Pen gives your projects a rich and elegant touch.
About Our Open Path Fonts
These letters do not have any outlines at all!. Like the name implies, they are are "single line fonts", also called "stick fonts", "single stroke fonts" or "journaling fonts". These are in .opf (open path font) format. Here's how they work: these are only for the cutting software packages Pazzles InVue, Make The Cut, and Sure Cuts a Lot. Your pen, foil quill, embossing, engraving, etching or similar tool will draw a single line only. No outlines, no going over the lines a 2nd time. Experiment with different types of pens for thinner or bolder lines - gel pens, ball points, white, gold or silver pens.... all are unique and gorgeous! Try it with new foil quill techniques to broaden your options using your own special style and custom text.
This font is for the engraving and cutter programs. Pazzles InVue, Make the Cut, and Sure Cuts a Lot. You will receive the .opf (open path format) version. This font will not work in any other program.
We hope you love "Quill Pen" as much as we do. We would love to see pictures of your projects over on our FaceBook Page!
