SCENARIO: Imagine you're stuck with me in a jungle after a plane-crash (and yeah I'd look like this even after a plane crash, cos as it crashes I'd try my best to hold my hair, put some lipstick on and crash in style aha!). Apparently you and I are the only survivors ***eerie jungle sounds follow***. None of us are badly injured but we are lost in the dense forest and it seems like we are going to be spending a few nights by ourselves before Help arrives (without food and water in sight). Now there's one more thing you need to know. You just get to know that this is Keshi the Blogger after all, and I get to know you're that Blogger I used to know as well...and we are thrilled to find that out about ourselves and since we always wanted to meet, this becomes our opportunity to catch up as well (and yeah it takes a plane crash for you to catch up with Keshi!). Amidst our doomed flying encounter, we are thrilled to find out that atleast we are blog-buddies keeping each other company (no need to even give each other a self-intro cos we already know a bit about each other).
QUESTION: Now since I know you fairly well and you know me well too (well enough to know that I'm not Ted Bundy's cousin sis and you're not Jack The Ripper's reincarnation), how would you cooperate with me and get us out of here? It doesn't have to be a long answer, just tell me how you'd work with me to get out of this jungle and get help for us. It would be great to know what we'd do if we met each other for the first time in a situation like this. And please be honest with your answers cos in the jungle we can't lie...scary ha!
SOME GOOD-TO-KNOW FACTS: The jungle is a mysterious place...there'll be dangerous animals as well as unexpected encounters with the weather, and you may even fall into traps that you've never known of. Also you'll be dealing with a manaic girl who can't go past a single day without her toothbrush, a bodywash, coffee and her eyeliner (Excuse me, is there a Coffee machine in the Jungle?). Man I need fresh clothes and my Deo as well (looks like this is not gonna be much fun as I expected it to be urrrrrrggg!). btw I'm terrified of creepy-crawlies and I loathe mozzie-bites with a vengenace! Anwyays, deal with it now that you're stuck with me hehehe. And don't be sad if I eat all the food you find, and say Sorry afterwards. Beware of this girl, she takes pics even if she's in the land of nowhere (see my glamor pics on the right taken on trees...no it's not a Bolly flick, it's just a love of nature aha!). To be lost in the jungle with Keshi is actually scarier than the jungle itself! Ok, so once you write your answer, I'll tell you how I'd work with you to get out of the mess we are in (for the Winning answer only). After all, it's a team effort right! (you might have to try a little harder to get me off the trees first for me to be in the team - no I'm not a Baboon lol!).
This post would reveal how well we know each other, and how we'd use that to get out of a situation like this. I'd pick out the best answer and update this post with it AND my answer at the end of all your entries. Thanks in Advance guys! btw, I have been tagged by some of my friends here...I love that particular tag, I'll do it next I promise. Til then, take care, tata and don't forget to have fun in the jungle now! Now bring out your survival instincts and make the best use of em! ***Hyenas' cries follow*** (now that's not much fun I know, Keshi runs like a maniac!).

Portnoy has received 26 awards to date and was the second youngest person to be inducted into the Hall of Fame by Modern Drummer magazine. Billy Sheehan, mostly known for his bass playing skills in Mr. Big and for David Lee Roth is currently regarded by musicians across the globe as the standard by which other bassists are measured up against. Keyboardist Derek Sherinian, known for performing and making music with Alice Cooper, Billy Idol, Yngwie Malmsteen, Kiss, and Alice In Chains, has been acknowledged as "Keyboard Hero for a New Generation" for his unique "guitaristic" approach to his keyboard style. The neo-classical metal guitar player, Tony MacAlpine is known for his highly advanced shred techniques. His style incorporates elements of classical, jazz, fusion, hard rock and heavy metal on both guitar and the keyboard, tagging him as one of the most influential musicians to ever walk the planet.

Jenna & Joe & Little B
Home Maternity Session
Delaware County, PA
Juliana Laury Photography | Chester County, Lehigh Valley, and Montgomery County Wedding Photographer
… there is a notion that human beings are born with equivalent potential for both contraction and expansion. The ingredients of both darkness and light are equally present in all of us. It's up to them, with the guidance of the family and society in which they are raised, to decide what is brought forth- the virtues or the malevolence.
I read this excerpt from a book called Eat, Pray, Love- many of you have probably heard of it. It struck me hard enough to pull out a highlighter to save it, and I decided to revisit this reading as I was finishing up Jenna and Joe's maternity photos. I've had the privilege of knowing Jenna for a bit now and we've shared some pretty cool afternoons together in our time as friends. So naturally, I was thrilled to hear of her pregnancy, and I was honored when she invited me into her brand new home to meet her two loves, Joe and Otis. It is so clear to me that in a couple of months this home will be an absolute haven for a baby boy who will be beyond lucky to have been given Jenna and Joe as his parents. To me, these images are a glimpse into the future, of both the love these two already have for their son, and the wonderful man I know he will become.

Train and retain
Attracting young professionals to fill the talent gap created by an aging workforce requires new and innovative solutions for knowledge management and transfer. It is also necessary to find ways to empower and motivate existing employees.
- High Fidelity Operator Training Simulation provides a platform that mimics the real mineral processing plant and uses the same control system and operator graphics as in the real plant to provide the most realistic training experience possible.
- Immersive Virtual Reality provides a life-like 3D environment for training, testing, and process simulation. It also allows training and simulation of plant safety procedures, even for remote or hard to access locations.
Operators can learn more in minutes in a simulated training environment than in hours of lecture instruction, and it can also be used for training throughout the entire plant life-cycle:
- Engineering and Design
- Control Checkout
- Operations Training
- Maintenance and Safety Training
- Scalable, from equipment training to an entire plant walk-through.
- Completely developed and supported by Schneider Electric, allowing the solution to be customized according to user needs.
- Use a realistic training environment for optimized content retention.

When Sweeney Todd hits theaters on December 21, I wonder how many people will be aware that it is an adaptation of a popular musical — a musical so full of singing that it is occasionally performed by opera companies. The TV spots for Sweeney are doing their best to make the film look like SleepyBeetleScissorhands: emphasizing Johnny Depp's gothic look (the hair helps), the Danny Elfman-esque score, and Tim Burton's name prominently displayed at the beginning of every spot. If I didn't know that this was a Stephen Sondheim show, I might disregard the brief snatches of song in some of the ads as a campy Corpse Bride/Beetle Juice type of thing. The commercial below is a typical example:
Now, compare the non-musical spot with the following "Broadway!" version:
All of sudden, Tim Burton's name is relegated to the oddly upbeat voice-over describing the film as the "holiday event of the season" while Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter sing and dance. I haven't seen this one on TV yet — I'd be interested to see what kind of shows it gets attached to.
The commercials that hide the singing are crafty enough that they might lure a good number of unsuspecting folks just looking for another Tim Burton/Johnny Depp film. The real puzzle is whether or not they will like what they see and hear. Sweeney is no doubt a great match for Burton's sensibilities, but most people don't take kindly to being tricked.
Are you planning to see Sweeney? How would you feel if you showed up for a bloody, horror/comedy and got the following scene instead?

Family members of missing JNU student Najeeb Ahmed on Sunday met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav who assured them that a team will be formed to trace him.
"Family members of Najeeb Ahmed met CM Akhilesh at his residence with JNU students' union President Mohit Pandey. They requested the CM to trace Najeeb," an official release issued in Lucknow said.
The CM assured that a team will be constituted to find Najeeb and said he would also write to Centre in this regard, the release said. Najeeb (27), a student of School of Biotechnology and a native of Budaun in Uttar Pradesh, went missing on October 15 following a scuffle allegedly with the members of ABVP, BJP's students' wing the night before in the campus.
Meanwhile, a guard at JNU's Mahi Mandavi Hostel where Najeeb was staying had received a letter a few days ago which stated that the student was being held captive in Aligarh. However, on verification, the letter was found to be bogus.

1 (2 – 2 1/2 pound) boneless pork loin roast
2 cups barbecue sauce
3/4 cup chunky style salsa
3 Tablespoons chili powder
3 teaspoons taco seasoning
9 (8-10″) flour soft shells
1. Place pork roast in Crockpot.
2. In small bowl, combine all remaining ingredients, except soft shells; mix well.
3. Pour mixture over pork.
4. Cover, cook on low 8-10 hours.
5. Shred pork with 2 forks.
6. Serve on soft shells.
Note: We ran out of soft shells and discovered these are also wonderful on buns.
Tip: Wrap burritos in foil and freeze. To reheat, place wrapped burritos in oven at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Or just freeze the pork, thaw in fridge when ready to use, and heat on stove top.

It is that time of year where we get very busy in the schools. Not only are we working on the current year, but we are also working on the next school/fiscal year. As we work on planning the coming year, a large part is played by the state legislature.
Again this year the Iowa Legislature is nearly 365 days late setting SSA (Supplemental State Aid) for schools. The legislature is looking to address this by proposing the elimination of the deadline for setting SSA. For the past seven years, public schools have been woefully underfunded, and it appears that we will again be shorted by the legislature. This legislature seems to think that schools can operate on an increase that is less than the cost of inflation. When that is combined with a decline in enrollment, many school districts across Iowa are actually looking at having less money for fiscal year (FY) 18 than they have for the current year. North Butler Community Schools is one of those districts.
The way that a school counterbalances this is to not expend all of the money that the state has allotted (Maximum Authorized Budget or MAB) and carry over a surplus (Unspent Authorized Budget or UAB). At the conclusion of FY 16 North Butler Community Schools carried a UAB of $670,200. We are projecting that amount to increase at the end of FY 17. The UAB adds into our MAB that is set by the Iowa Department of Education and allows us a safety net to work with. A district with a budget our size should carry a UAB of roughly $750,000 to $1,000,000. At the end of FY 17, we should fall well within that range. This allows us to continue with our current programming without having to make staffing or other adjustments despite declining enrollment.
Tax credits for business have played a major role in the lack of funding for schools (see previous blog post, DM Register Article Jan. 12, 2017). As a district, we will make do with what we have and make the best of it!
Doing things the BEARCAT WAY
Even though we are facing challenges with funding from the legislature, we have many fantastic things happening at North Butler Community Schools.
1. We have continued to employ high-quality teachers from PK-12th grade.
2. We have added a transitional kindergarten class for our students who may not be completely ready for kindergarten.
3. We have added a full time counselor at the elementary school.
4. We have added 1.5 FTE academic and behavior interventionist positions at the elementary. We anticipate this growing to 2.0 FTE for 17-18.
5. We have added Project Lead The Way (PLTW) classes for engineering and computer science into the JH/HS curriculum.
6. The Voc Ag program is adding an aquaponics setup and will be growing fish and vegetables in the near future.
Most of this has come with little or no additional cost to the school district. The increases that we have incurred are, in my opinion, sustainable for the foreseeable future, barring a steep decline in enrollment.
As an administrator, I am very proud of the accomplishments of our staff and students. North Butler finished 10th out of 156 schools in Class 1A in the Bank of Iowa Challenge Cup. This is a platform that looks at all-around programs and involvement of students. North Butler High School improved its standing on the Iowa School Report Card from commendable to high performing. District wide we set exceptionally high goals for our staff and students, and we met nearly all of those goals. While those things have been happening, our staff is not satisfied with the status quo. They continue to research and look for ways to improve what we are doing. We have groups of staff that have undertaken a pilot project in Authentic Intellectual Work (AIW), we have our Professional Learning Community (PLC) leaders asking to attend more training, and we have teachers asking our instructional coaches to assist them in improving what they are doing in the classroom. I have never seen a staff as eager to learn and improve as the staff at North Butler!
On Monday January 30th, we held a North Butler District Leadership Team meeting. The DLT meets to discuss suggestions, make recommendations to the administration, and make recommendations to the board for our direction as a school district. When functioning properly, administrators do little talking other than to provide updates during these meetings. I have never participated in a leadership team meeting as positive and productive as this past meeting. The district calendar for 17-18 was discussed and adjustments were made according to the input provided. We discussed things that we are doing well as a staff, and things that we can do better as a district. We discussed surveys that will be given to both staff members and community members for feedback. We also discussed how we would use this feedback to improve what we are doing as a staff, administration, board, and district.
Monday evening, January 30th, I attended one of the most impressive educational presentations that I have had the privilege of attending. The North Butler Community Schools Sophomore Class presented projects related to the September 2016 flooding in Greene to the public at the Greene Community Center. The students built their presentations, and also built the program for the evening, reserved the space, provided snacks, secured a guest speaker, and marketed their session. The students and Ms. Stahr did an incredible job in preparing for and making the evening a success. This program included some of the most authentic, real world learning that I have ever seen! The community center was packed, parking was hard to find, and the students did a magnificent job putting together and presenting their program! Hats off to our Sophomore Class. Thank you for setting the bar high for North Butler Community Schools!

May 21
Copenhagen, Denmark
We have just finished watching the final project presentations, and what a relief it is to be done! The two weeks in Lexington followed by another two in Copenhagen have been fast-paced, but rewarding.
The highly anticipated visit to Carlsberg Brewery ended up being an interesting visit, but not in the way any of us imagined. We toured the brewery's museum to learn about the company's history and greatly enjoyed the tasting room. Unfortunately, the representative we were supposed to speak with was busy, so we were unable to hear about Carlsberg's CSR initiatives. Still, we managed to entertain ourselves. We discovered the Carlsberg app and ended up in a fierce competition to see who could achieve the highest score in the beer-making game and win free beer. Professor Straughan was initially a strong contender, but Kellie was better and won! Another intense competition occurred at the foosball tables, where champions Keith and Nate defeated multiple challengers.
It's easy to forget that we are here for class, but reality kicked in this week. We spent the week working hard on our final projects Each group decided on a CSR topic that's relevant to Denmark and created a video about the issue. The process was challenging, because we had to find an interesting topic, gather the research, and create the final product—all within a short time period. Our hostel has terrible WiFi, so most groups wound up giving up and going elsewhere to work. One of my favorite spots was Andersen Bakery, where my group spent most of our time. The quiet atmosphere was great for work. And more importantly, we had delicious pastries and coffee within arms reach.
By Wednesday night, we were all ready for a study break. Many of us went to watch FC Copenhagen play at Parken Stadium. It was exciting to watch professional football (or as Americans call the sport, soccer) and to experience the cheering fans. For Henry, the best part of the night was when he caught one of the balls the employees threw into the crowd.
Thursday night concluded with a class dinner at Höst, a restaurant that serves new Nordic cuisine. Our meal consisted of three main courses, three surprises and a snack. The meal itself received mixed reviews from the class, since not everyone is an adventurous foodie. I thought the meal was definitely interesting, particularly because the chef used ash and various local vegetables in multiple courses.
Tomorrow, we will bid Copenhagen farewell. Our last stop is the amusement park Tivoli! At our professors' insistence, we tried a local delicacy—salted licorice. Unlike our meal at Höst, where everyone found at least something they enjoyed eating, the general consensus was that salted licorice was not a favorite of anyone's! However, if you happen to be in Denmark, I highly recommend that you try salted licorice (and visit Tivoli) for the experience!
On Lessons and the Lydolph
May 17
Copenhagen, Denmark
The past few days have kept us busy with company visits and cultural lessons. During our visit to global shipping giant Maersk, we found out about how the company has integrated the concept of shared values into their business model. My professors have taken W&L students to visit Maersk before, so the staff provided an update on the company's progress since the university's last visit. I thought it was fascinating to learn that Maersk costumers value reliability over speed when it comes to cargo delivery. The session ended with a creative mind-mapping exercise, which was very entertaining to watch!
Other visits this week included the new office of pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk. It is amazing how something as small as a molecule inspired the building's design. The building also has many sustainable features, which is fitting, considering that Novo Nordisk is a leader in CSR reporting. The media always portrays pharmaceutical firms as profit-oriented organizations, so we were pleasantly surprised to learn Novo Nordisk has committed to finding a cure for diabetes and making the treatment accessible to all.
Our last visit this week brought us to the Confederation of Danish Industries, where we learned how the organization promotes CSR by working with both the government and privately held companies. This was the first time we talked about the CSR strategies employed by small firms, and it served as a good contrast to all the larger companies we have studied so far.
Most of us agree that one of the highlights of this week has been the dinners with Danish families. We've been served delicious meals of traditional Danish cuisine, such as Smørrebrød, which are open-faced sandwiches. It's definitely been nice to enjoy amazing home cooked meals after months of eating in W&L's D-Hall. Our hosts have also given us the names of trendy restaurants and cafes in Copenhagen to try.
At the end of this week, we got to enjoy a couple days of sightseeing. We saw Frederiksborg Palace, a palace so luxurious that it was too expensive for the king to live in regularly, and Kronborg Castle, which is where Hamlet took place. Did you know that a castle was for defense and fortification while a palace was a place for royalty to live? Or that most landmarks in Denmark have burned down at least once? We learned quite a few fun facts on our outings.
We've also learned that there is such a thing as too much ice cream! The class visited an ice cream shop outside of central Copenhagen and watched as Nate decided to take on the Lydolph (multiple scoops of ice cream in a cone, topped with incredible amounts of soft serve and then a topping of your choice). You'll have you ask him if he was successful in his endeavor!
Next week, we have fewer class events planned because we'll be busy completing our final photo essay project. We're all looking forward to the last company visit at Carlsberg, especially after hearing that we will be meeting in the company's tasting room!
Getting Comfortable with Copenhagen
May 8
Copenhagen, Denmark
After months of anticipation followed by two weeks of fast-paced preparation, we finally arrived in the amazing city of Copenhagen! Each of our rooms has an incredible view of either Tivoli, the amusement park that inspired Disneyland, or the beautiful riverfront with historic buildings. We've already experienced the famous bicycles and pedestrian-centered traffic culture that we'd heard so much about prior to our arrival.
Of course, looking at the city is never as exciting as exploring it. On our second day in Copenhagen, we took a tour of the city in the morning and visited Deloitte in the afternoon.
Our tour covered Copenhagen's medieval district and included a boat tour of the harbor. While our spirits were slightly dampened by the rain and wind, we learned a lot about the city. Historical events characterize Copenhagen, including the numerous great fires that ravaged the city's historic buildings — some buildings have been ruined multiple times. The architecture varies. One minute we're walking down winding streets with houses that have been preserved from the 1700s and the next we're passing modern buildings such as Copenhagen's library, the Black Diamond. I think we were all interested to learn that there was a time when Copenhagen's sewers were open, which means that layers of human waste could be found underneath much of the city center.
That afternoon, following the tour, we visited Deloitte for a lesson about corporate social responsibility. The Deloitte office was vibrant, open and — true to Danish design principles — simple and modern. It was lit almost entirely by natural light. We had our first sighting (and testing) of the infamous Danish "egg chairs," which we had read about beforehand. The staff at Deloitte provided us with a great overview of the five main aspects of corporate social responsibility.
One of the best things about traveling is sampling the food. For our first dinner, some of us ate at Mother, a restaurant that's known for delicious sourdough pizza. What stood out the most to me was how organic and natural the atmosphere was (this seems to be a repeating theme in Copenhagen). There was an open kitchen and pots of herbs were the centerpieces in the middle of our wooden tables. Other fantastic food moments have included a meal at an outdoor café, where we huddled under blankets trying to stay warm, and a quick trip to a hygge pastry shop. Hygge is a Danish word without an English translation, meaning something along the lines of cozy or comfortable.
Although we have a busy schedule, there is plenty of time for exploring the city. Tomorrow, we are off to visit Maersk and will experience more of what Copenhagen has to offer!

Feeder rods are also known as quiver tip rods, because they come supplied with between one and three quiver tips. A feeder rod is used for fishing with bait on the bottom, without the use of a float, so are a great tool for carp fishing. The different tips differ in weighting for changeable sensitivity, giving the rod great versatility. Rivers with a strong flow would tamper with a more sensitive tip, so a more durable tip can be swapped onto the rod to maintain rod performance. Equally, the size of fish you are targeting will have an impact on the size and weight of the tip you chose, as a bigger fish, such as barbel or carp, will require a bigger tip, and the opposite is true for smaller fish. The overall rod length can range between 9ft and 12ft, although when a feeder rod is near the 9ft mark is can sometimes be known as a picker rod.
As you can see, there's a lot to take into account when choosing you ideal feeder rod, but luckily we've done most of the work for you! As we only select the best products from the best brands in the business, you can be confident that whichever rod you choose will more than suit the job at hand. With brands such as Leeda, Maver, and Fox in our portfolio, you know you're getting products from the cutting edge of angling technology, and with Angling Direct's price checked sticker (which can be found on the product page) you know you're getting your tackle at the best possible price. Not only this, but we can offer exclusive deals across the Daiwa range, including its exceptional feeder rods, as we are the UK's leading stockist of Daiwa products.
If you do want any more information on any of our products, why not have a browse through our blog archives? We regularly spotlight and review the latest products on the market, so you can always keep up to date with the tackle that's taking the angling world by storm. If you'd like to speak to our team about any aspect of tackle, be that feeder rods or the order you're placing today, then do not hesitate to contact our customer services team.

Conrad Schneiker recently gave the Perl 6 community a gift by loading this new Perl 6 wiki full of content. The wiki itself runs SocialText software written in Perl 5 and hits a nice sweet spot between being featureful and easy to use. I recommend trying it out, and plan to use it frequently myself.
This wiki is still young, and as Andy Lester notes in the comment at the bottom, it would be useful to break up the front page content into several pages. It's a wiki, so feel free to jump in and help with that!
Update: I went through and overhauled the front page and site structure myself, so the front page is simple new, with some embedded Perl 6 news. Of course, it's a wiki, so you can further refine it as you like.

If modern, stylish, sometimes unusual and extremely tasty Asian food is your thing, it is certainly worth trying out. It was opened less than a year ago by the team behind Salaam Namaaste in Bloomsbury. The food spans different regions of India as well as Pakistan, with grilled food a speciality. The decor is thoughtfully low-key - cream leather, wood, exposed brick, that sort of thing.
The highlight for me was the starter of tandoori portobello mushroom, marinated and filled with figs, cashew nuts, green chilli and home-made paneer in a curry leaf dressing. I imagined a large stuffed mushroom but it arrived as four quarters in an elegant row. The flavours of the stuffing melded rather than being distinct but the whole thing was savoury, sweet and spicy at the same time in a very pleasing way - not bad for a stuffed mushroom.
The Real Ale Drinker had crab cakes with a spicy kick. They had been made with mostly brown meat (fuller flavour) and had not been padded out with too much potato, as frequently happens with crab cakes. They had a crisp outside and came with an un-Indian touch of flavoured mayonnaise for dipping.
The kadai sabzi, mixed vegetables with paneer, was not as innovative as my starter but was still very good - peppers, baby corn and mange tout as well as tender chunks of paneer. The Real Ale Drinker had goan-style sea bass - one of several interesting fish and seafood dishes on the menu - which was again beautifully presented.
We also had a light paratha and a side dish of okra with a fruity, tangy note to it - it was listed on the menu as okra with raw mango but its acidity made me think it might have been made with shatkora, a Bangladeshi citrus fruit.
There is a fair-sized wine list, but we stuck to Cobra (no real ale for the RAD) and a freshly-made and refreshing mango lassi.
Main courses are around £12, which includes rice (the food is served plated). We went armed with a Tastecard - the restaurant offers 50pc food off on weeknights, though we discovered once we arrived that this offer was limited to a particular menu - which when you booked through the Time Out website was already offering a 50pc discount on that menu anyway! So not a fantastic Tastecard deal, but either way, the 50pc off made it very reasonable for the quality.

The denouement is everything that follows after the climax, with one purpose: to wrap up the story. The story has peaked, the major tension has gone. Readers now crave two things. First, a final reactionary scene to show the consequences of the plot and the fate of the characters. Second, answers to all remaining story-questions.
A successful denouement offers three things:
- Closure: gives your readers information about the fate of the characters so they feel the book is truly over. Show how the main character responds to the climax, how he feels and thinks now, how he sees the world and himself.
- Brevity: do not deflate the emotion from the climax by going on too long.
- Dramatization: make the denouement still feel like part of the story, not just a dump of exposition.
The steps of writing a great ending
First, become the reader. Put the story away for a while so you can look back on it with fresher eyes. Read it as if you have never laid eyes on it before. Consider asking feedback from a person who has never seen it before, for objective feedback.
Secondly, track the silent promises you made. Try to word it in a few sentences to remind yourself which promises you must deliver on. Now re-read your ending and see if those promises are truly met.
Thirdly, pretend to be an editor. Look critically at your list of scenes and what happens in them. Are there scenes that could be cut without it affecting the story? Cut them. Are there scenes you can combine into a more compact punch? Do it. The signature of any good writer is the skill of word economy. Good prose does not drag along. It only uses the words necessary to tell the story and deliver the punch, no filling.
Fourth, rewrite whatever mistakes or confusions you have found so far. Polish your prose.

for Russell Apartment
by Lisa Winston, United States
March 2014
"Our time at the Russell was wonderful! I must repeat what everyone else has said: the location is perfect. It is close to several Tube stops, a grocery store and Museum Row. The neighborhood felt very safe-even at night. Although the building is on a busy street, the flat itself faces the parking lot in the back. It was very quiet! The employees of London Perfect showed us all the amenities of the flat when we arrived. It was quite helpful! We only had one issue during our stay-the wifi was not working. The staff provided us with a temporary fix and the issue was remedied within a couple of days. Wifi was definitely not a necessity but made making each day's plans/reservations and staying in touch with our family at home much easier.
I would HIGHLY recommend this flat to anyone traveling to London."

Opera Australia today announced that Rory Jeffes will be joining the company as CEO, replacing Craig Hassall.
Hassall left the company in February this year, to take up the post of Chief Executive of London's Royal Albert Hall. OA's Artistic Director Lyndon Terracini has been interim CEO since Hassall's departure.
Jeffes comes to OA from the Sydney Symphony, where he's been a staff member since 2005 and Managing Director since 2009. He was born in Ontario, Canada, and has worked across both England and Australia in both the profit and not-for-profit sectors.
Jeffes will start at OA on July 31 this year.
OA's Chair David Mortimer said in a statement: "We're thrilled to welcome Rory to Opera Australia. He was an outstanding candidate in a very high quality field and brings a diverse set of skills and a wealth of experience that will be highly valued at the Company.
"Rory's passion for music and his strong background in the not-for-profit sector, along with his exceptional analytical and administrative capabilities are exactly what the company needs to take us forward in these exciting and challenging times."
Jeffes said: "It is highly impressive how Opera Australia, under the artistic direction of Lyndon Terracini, has developed as an innovative performing arts company of international renown. I greatly look forward to working closely with Lyndon and the many highly talented people at OA to build on these achievements into the future."

In "The Conqueror Worm," Poe describes the allegorical history of man's existence, as angels watch. What important themes are notable in how "The Conqueror Worm" describes mankind? What does the narrator believe is the conclusion of the human experience?
Students will likely mention on the saddening and pessimistic language used to describe the play and mankind's role in it throughout the poem. They may also mention how the mimes seem to have very little control over their own movements and choices, suggesting that man has very little control over factors that impact his life. Students may note how, after the allegorical man has been terrorized by spirits and demons,...

One of this year's Oscar nominees for Best Foreign Language film, A Prophet is sort of like a French Goodfellas with more emphasis on prison scenes, a little less scene-by-scene richness, and a little more audience-courting embrace of the "universal."
Like Goodfellas' Henry Hill, an Irish kid who makes an unlikely entry and rise in the Italian mafia, A Prophet's protagonist is an ethnic outsider who makes his way into a criminal order naturally wary of outsiders.
Malik El Djebena (newcomer Tahar Rahim) is a young French-Algerian man who finds himself imprisoned with a six-year sentence after attacking a police officer. An outsider in the prison culture divided by racial lines, Malik is immediately beaten in the yard and has his sneakers stolen but gets up to seek immediate reprisal, a nervy reaction that is noticed by the Corsican mafia element in the prison, including leader César Luciani (Niels Arestrup).
Soon after, an Arab witness, Reyeb, is sent to the prison pending trial and an order comes from the outside for César to have the new prisoner killed. Not wanting to risk his own men on the job, César courts Malik, telling him that he will murder Reyeb for the Corsicans or risk losing his own life. Prison logic becomes Darwinian: Kill or die.
Doing this deed for the Corsicans sets the initially naive, unformed Malik onto a path for the rest of his prison bid. In exchange for his hit on Reyeb, Malik is protected by the Corsicans, and he becomes something of a grunt worker/servant for them. But he is not of them and is still derided as a "dirty Arab."
Slowly — the film takes place over several years — Malik begins to manipulate his half-in/half-out standing to elevate his station within the pre-existing criminal underworld. Though the film's more than two-and-a-half-hour running time can be a bit of a grind, the duration and patient, realistic visual style allows A Prophet to accumulate detail. But the biggest reason the story works is Rahim, whose performance is fascinating.
Malik enters prison poor (he's never taken a plane flight), illiterate, and totally unconnected. He's a lost kid overwhelmed by the sudden experience of imprisonment, but Rahim lets us see him thinking through his situation. The actor's lack of experience anchoring a feature film seems to dovetail with the character's inexperience with prison culture and criminal-organization hierarchy. But Malik is stealthy and observant, and the film's density lends the character's prison growth curve and self-improvement more realism than it might otherwise have.
Malik's cultural displacement ultimately works in his favor, and when César arranges furloughs for Malik in order to have him run mob errands for him on the outside, Malik uses the time to build up his own drug-running operation as well.
Newcomer Rahim is matched by veteran Arestrup, who plays César as an old lion in winter, more menacing for relative stillness and silence but whose comfort in command masks an increasingly tenuous hold on criminal leadership.
Director Jacques Audiard (Read My Lips, The Beat That My Heart Skipped) is no stranger to art-film crossover success, but he reaches a new level in A Prophet. But as strong as A Prophet is in its central performances and many stellar individual scenes, it doesn't quite earn the self-promotion.
It may not play up violence as thrill seeking à la Brian De Palma's much-too-beloved crime saga, but in pushing toward personal redemption, A Prophet displays its own brand of false slickness, referencing instead the likes of Slumdog Millionaire or The Shawshank Redemption. Whether you take those comps as endorsement or problematic might determine how fully you're able to embrace A Prophet.

Grain growth is the process of the average grain size increasing during high temperature processing or operation, etc. It is ubiquitous in metals and has been shown to strongly affect bulk properties such as yield stress and creep resistance.
Using Diffraction Contrast Tomography at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, and multi-order phase field simulations, the Voorhees group studies grain growth in three dimensions and in time. Below is a reconstruction of a high-purity aluminum wire.

Okay.. So I am on a six step deal to realize and follow my true dream. The first step is answering the question, what do I know about myself? What do I know about my dream. How can I benefit … Continue reading
Have you ever entertained the idea of living in a van?
So not just a van.. mind you. A camper van, a vanagon. I have always heard the call of the open road, but never thought it for me for several reasons. I'm thirty with a ten year old daughter who is ready for a change. We have always leaned toward the minimal side and this seems.. perfect. Rent the house out while we are gone. I have been doing some minor restorations to the house. Pretty much refreshing things up. A new microwave, paint, baseboards in the bathroom. The ideal way would be to rent the lake house for enough to cover mortgage and taxes. Maybe even a little extra to nest egg.
Here and Now..
Recently faced with short term goals lately as enough time has passed with no real plan to place that its time to regroup. As soon as my student loans paperwork can filled > 50 days and processed, I can return to school under Pell grant without loans. How dumb that was.. I feel the financial institutions should make you show a business plan almost to get the loans they give out per semester. We're in college for Pete's sake! We are supposed to be poor then go out and get our degree job. But Hell no, they asked if I needed the full amount??! Real thought needs to be put in on what job/career will be most fitting with finances and security. Degree needs to be picked with a job in mind. I felt double crossed as I left micro and chemistry lab like a super cool mad scientist to get into what I thought was the program of my dreams of Nursing. No. It didn't happen that way. At all. Thoroughly disgusted with the time and effort I spent to get into this super selective program.. and I hated it. No preparation for what I was to face in the two years of core classes geared toward the Nursing program. :((( Not a happy camper and I knew I didn't want to be stuck in this field. I took a hardship leave and left. Where do I go from now?
I mean I have my minor in journalism.. That's what I love. Words. They can do so much, take you somewhere that you have never been. you think artists starve?? Journalists eat dirt. Not even good dirt, like scraggy dirt, yuck. So here my ramblings will go for now as I process through this life of a mother, hippie, peace promoter, you get the picture 😉 There are so many things I want to do, record here, take you all into my silly, wild, crazy life as I figure out where I go from here. About this close to renting the house out, buying a van and hitting the road. Seriously.
For now on a personal level, smile more it catches on. Feel happier. Keep up my Yoga, push Syd to find the peace that comes with grounded breathing and focus. She already knows some simple routines to try on her own, but I want her to want to do them, need to like I do.

I'm a chemistry major, biology minor, and have attained a certificate in the arts of the moving image. After graduation, I plan on taking a gap year prior to attending medical school.

- We are dynamic
Cluj is among the most dynamic cities in Europe.
Of the 254 largest EU cities, Cluj has the third fastest growth rate, more than tripling its GDP per Capita between 2000 and 2013 – from around €5,800 to around €20,000 (EuroStat). Basically, the economy of Cluj has grown by around 10% every year, while the average growth rate for the largest EU cities was 2.62%. Even after the crisis, Cluj sustained a healthy growth path. Between 2010 and 2014, the number of employees in the city grew by around 15%, while firm revenues grew by around 50%. In a developing country, Cluj is a developed city and one of the most important growth engines.
- We have a huge growth potential and we are hungry
Cluj is the second largest city in Romania, and the city with the fastest population growth in the country.
Given population dynamics in countries that have developed organically, a World Bank report indicates that Cluj may more than double its population in the coming years.
Moreover, as the experience of developed countries shows, it is usually secondary cities (e.g. Detroit, Los Angeles, San Jose, Munich, Wolfsburg, Milan, Edinburgh) that have the strongest innovative potential in a country. These secondary cities are hungry to prove themselves, and are in competition with other secondary cities. Cluj is hungry to become the most productive and innovative city in Romania and South-East Europe.
- We have a burgeoning metropolitan area
Florești, a suburb of Cluj, is the fastest growing locality in Romania, and two other suburbs (Baciu and Apahida), are among the fastest growing.
The metropolitan area of Cluj generated firm revenues of around €7.4 billion in 2014 (15% of which were generated by companies outside Cluj), and the one-hour access area (by car) around Cluj amasses around 1 million people. Many businesses have invested in one of the industrial parks in, and around Cluj. TETAROM is widely considered to be one of the most pro-active and successful industrial park systems in Romania and South-East Europe.
- We have a skilled workforce
Around 20% of the workforce is employed in creative and innovative sectors (IT&C, pharmaceuticals, engineering, consulting, advertising).
The largest and fastest growing sector in Cluj is software development, which blew up from around 1,000 people in 2005 to around 11,000 in 2014. Software development is also the main job creator in Cluj.
Some have been quick to call us the Silicon Valley of Transylvania. We are not – Apple alone has 33,000 employees. We think however that we have an ecosystem that is ripe for other investments. Enrico Moretti, a brilliant researcher at UC Berkeley, showed in his research that cities with a high share of the workforce working in creative and innovative fields have a much larger growth potential over cities focusing primarily on manufacturing. In essence, jobs in creative and innovative industries have a high multiplier effect and can sustain long term growth better than other sectors.
- We have a large student population
Cluj is the second largest university center after Bucharest, with around 65,000 full-time students.
We still have some time before we have a university at the level of a Harvard or MIT, but the performance of our universities is continuously increasing. Also, the universities in Cluj consistently rank, in national and international ranking, as top performers in Romania and South-East Europe. Moreover, they are increasingly better at cooperating with the private sector.
- We have a good quality of life and a competitive jobs market
The European Commission periodically polls citizens in a number of EU cities to assess the quality of life in these cities. The 2015 survey indicates that people in Cluj love their city. Moreover, Cluj is the highest ranked city, out of a total of 83, when it comes to our attitude to foreigners. 91% of people in Cluj think that the presence of foreigners is good for the city. So if you're a foreigner coming to Cluj, you will love it here.
Another interesting statistics is the ease with which people can find a job. 67% of people in Cluj indicated that it is easy to find a job in the city – the second highest ranking among the group of 83 EU cities. This is another indicator of a well performing economy and of a good growth potential for the future.
- We have the second busiest airport in Romania
A lot of investments have been done in the Cluj airport in recent years, so the city has become more and more accessible.
There are now daily flights to almost every corner of Europe, and the number of passengers has grown from around 75,000 in 2000, to around 1,500,000 in 2015. Of these, 1,300,000 were passengers on international flights. You'll find it easy to get to Cluj, and it is likely you will not want to leave.
- We got stuff to keep you busy and happy throughout the year
Cluj has become an increasingly cosmopolitan city, and there's more and more stuff to do every year.
There is a plethora of restaurants, bars, and clubs (we have some of the best in Europe), and summertime is jam-packed with festivals, concerts, and events of all kind – the most known being the Transylvania International Film Festival, the Electric Castle Music Festival, the Untold Music Festival (which was voted best new major festival in Europe).
- We got plenty of areas where you can invest
Cluj has a new spatial plan, and this new spatial plan is awesome.
Among other things, it has zoned specific areas for investments, with a focus on the redevelopment of brownfields, which used to cover 28% of the city area. More specifically, we have urban regulations that have been designed to also make you happy – i.e. make it easy for you to find a spot where to invest. In addition, you have a local administration that is very friendly to investors and geared to make your life easy, and an industrial park system that is continuously expanding (there are currently four operational platforms).
- We're a cool bunch!
Don't just take our word for it, come and visit. We'll win you over in no time. If we don't, you can at least brag to have visited the capital of Transylvania. 🙂
If you are interested to know more about Cluj, or you need advice on how to proceed in exploring the opportunities in Cluj, please contact us at email@example.com or using the contact form.

Make Time to Speak With Those You Love About Sexual Assault Awareness
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and at the YWCA, we want to help you become more aware of a subject that affects every community in a powerful way.
What began 40 years ago as a movement to make streets safer after dark has grown into an annual, national event highlighting violence against victims – violence which occurs at home, at work and in public. Sexual assault happens in communities of all sizes and locations; however, there are steps that communities and individuals can take to increase awareness, prevention and healing.
Consider just a few of the key facts surrounding sexual assault in America:
- An assault may impact daily life whether it happened recently or many years ago. Each survivor reacts to sexual violence in their own way.
- There are significant long-term and short-term impacts of sexual violence on overall health and well-being.
- 32,000 pregnancies each year result from instances of rape – most often among women who are involved in an abusive relationship.
- Emotional health damages include denial, fear, shame, anxiety, withdrawal and PTSD-like symptoms.
- It is estimated that one out of every six American womenhas been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime.
Experts suggest communities discuss the difficult questions surrounding sexual assault, such as: What constitutes sexual assault or sexual violence? What should an individual do if they feel they are a victim now or might become one? How can a victim safely leave an abusive relationship? The answers to these questions all need to be shared widely.
Locally, the YWCA continues efforts year-round to provide resources and hope for victims. We offer support groups, life skill groups, rape crisis assistance and referrals to further resources in addition to our 24-hour crisis hotline and our Shelter for Abused and Homeless Women and Children. In April 2016, we are co-sponsors of a self-defense training event especially for women. The T.A.K.E. self-defense course will be offered free of charge to all women and girls over age 12 who register on April 9 at the Griffon Indoor Sports Complex on the MWSU campus. This event runs from 10am-12 noon (registration at 9am) and will give women tools to use in protecting themselves against unwanted advances or violence.
Last year the St. Joseph YWCA provided over 1,300 individual therapy sessions to help women heal from domestic violence and/or sexual assault. Today, we invite you to join our mission and share critical information about sexual assault and sexual violence. Visit www.ywcasj.org to learn more.

Industry analyst Todd Ablowitz, president of Centennial, Colo.-based Double Diamond Group LLC, says Heartland is focusing on its strength in working with small and midsize merchants.
"They are positioning it a little differently than some of the other mobile-enabled applications, but it will be helpful for merchants who want to get extra payments processed without adding a big expense during busy times in the store," Ablowitz says.
Heartland also was wise to put an extra focus on its encryption system for security and emphasizing the security measures through each facet of the sales transaction, he says.

It never was... but sometimes I lose track of that reality. As a human, I get sidetracked and lose focus of the purpose here.
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought with a price, therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
So then, you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles an prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him, you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. Ephesians 2:19-22
It's not about me or about you... If you're a believer, it's about US becoming a dwelling place FOR God. It's all about glorifying God.

Rugged tablets can significantly simplify food ordering processes in casinos and on board cruise ships and improve customer satisfaction via increased speed and a higher level of accuracy.
The hospitality industry is turning to tablet-based ordering solutions to allow casino visitors or cruise ship passengers to enjoy excellence in food service in a variety of formats, including:
POS Ordering
Staff members can hand carry lightweight, rugged tablets and take orders on deck or on the floor. Payment can be made immediately, or data captured to run a tab.
Tableside Ordering
Tablets can also be assigned to specific tables, and ordering done by the customer with payment completed at the table or charged to a shipboard suite or casino hotel room.
Kiosk Ordering
Kiosk ordering can prevent lines from forming and blocking foot traffic on board or in the casino. Tablets can be wall or counter mounted to allow ordering in lobby space, from a room, and more.
Tablet Based Payment Options
Card readers allow credit and debit cards to be processed, gift cards to be applied or reloaded, or charges to be assigned to a room card or courtesy card. Checks can be split, receipts printed or emailed, and signatures captured on screen.
Server Side Benefits
Servers can log on with a card or PIN, menus can be hosted and categorized, tables can be assigned using a map, list, or number, and orders can be matched with seat position for in-play refreshments or above board lounging.
Guest Benefits
Customers can quickly place their order, purchase entertainment, pay at the table / kiosk / poolside / room, split checks or payments (ideal for business trips), download receipts, menus, and complete visit or trip totals, and more.
Casino or Cruise Line Benefits
Cross selling and upselling is simplified with tablets delivering targeted information into customer hands. Data collected from all streams can be analyzed and leveraged to help with back-office decision making like purchasing decisions, staffing adjustments, and menu improvements, and implemented in new marketing campaigns to test new products and services, pricing, and delivery options.
Tablets for cruise lines and casinos can revolutionize the way food service operates and deliver exceptional results in ever faster and more accurate forms. The possibilities of POS, table and kiosk mounted tablets are almost endless, the cost savings in regard to productivity and efficiency are immense, and increased ROI can be readily achieved.

Guarantees of Origin (GOs) are an element of European Union's climate policy, introduced with the aim of disclosing the types of fuels and technologies from which electric Energy is produced. Since energy itself cannot be marked in any way, a system of documents (guarantees) was created. These come into being once energy is produced, and are redeemed when transferred to an end user of electricity. Several European countries are connected to a hub, which enables the international transfer of GOs.
Guarantees of Origin were first introduced in relation to energy produced from Renewable sources (RES), which constitutes an additional incentive to this sector's growth. Several distribution companies across Europe now guarantee that 100% of the energy they sell comes from RES, sometimes even enabling their clients to choose a particular source. Many of the electricity certification schemes that operate in Western and Northern Europe are also based on GOs. Several states have already introduced disclosure certificates for non-renewable generation.
The Directive 2009/28/EC, which is the legal basis for the creation of GO registries, has been implemented into Polish law in September 2013. A year later TGE has launched the GO Registry. Under Polish law, it is the Energy Regulatory Office that issues GOs, which are then uploaded into our system. Registry users have the option to trade guarantees or transfer them to end users as proof that the Energy they bought has been produced in Renewable sources. They also have the option to apply to TGE for a certificate, which serves as additional confirmation of the amount of electric energy transferred.
Tge GO Registry is a tool for renewable Energy producers, traders, brokers, as well as end users interested in confirming that the Energy they receive comes from renewable sources.
Highlights regarding TGE's GO registry:
- Free registration;
- Issuing guarantees based on information received from the Energy Regulatory Office;
- OTC transactions that do not require a contract with a brokerage house;
- Official confirmations sent to end users.
