Gustav Klimt's 1907 Adele Bloch-Bauer pursues this phenomenon still further. In it he constructs a painted mosaic inspired by those he saw in Ravenna, Italy as he portrays the wife of the German industrialist, Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer. Taken in isolation, three of the four quadrants of the square composition are completely abstract to the point of being non-representational. Only in the upper right quadrant do we see anything approaching a traditional portrait; and even at that, the head, neck, shoulders, and hands seem lost in a glistening, golden glow reminiscent of his family's background as goldsmiths. The painting is still a portrait, but one in which the figure is almost completely overwhelmed by the artist's fascination with an infinitely complex patterns of surface adornment.
In France, about the same time, Picasso was exploring Analytical Cubism, experimenting to find out just how far he could push into the frontiers of abstraction while still retaining a recognisable subject matter. Strange as it might seem, he turned to the demanding art of portraiture in his studies, as in his 1910 paintings of Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, Ambroise Vollard, and William Uhde to test his deconstructive powers of abstract resemblances. His angular, geometric nuances of hard and soft edges make Klimt's forays into abstraction less than three years earlier seem conservative, stylised, decorative, and vaguely old-fashioned by comparison. By 1937, his experiments with abstract portraits as seen in his Dora Maar Seated seem less radical yet no less visionary. Just as a person has many sides to their personality, as well as their face, Picasso seems determined to depict both. Heavy on texture, design, and multiple-point-of-view distortion, the painting, nonetheless, maintains the striking resemblance of a first-rate portrait.
Quite apart from its formal impact on portraiture, photography also changed the fundamental nature of portrait painting. Once the majority of people began choosing to capture their appearances for posterity with photographs, artists, whether they liked it or not, were left free to pick and choose their portrait subjects - often close friends and family - rather than paying clients. Where before the client, wielding the power of the chequebook, dictated the nature of the portrait, now, suddenly, the artist found himself in complete control, able to decide for himself (portrait artists were still mostly men at the time) not just the nature of the pose, lighting, colours, size, shape, and composition of the portrait, but even its style and the degree to which the face, figure, and resemblance would dominate the painting. The sitter became merely a model, often an unnamed face being paid by the artist for their time and efforts, rather than vice-versa. Although the best portrait painters continued to demand and get top dollar for their work, they quickly found themselves outside the mainstream of artistic endeavour, the spotlight being increasingly on those painters for whom portraiture was merely a means to an end in art. Quick, name the top ten portrait painters of the twentieth century. See what I mean?

Morrison family of Tairua near Coromandel in New Zealand in the 1890s
Matilda Morrison was my grandmother who married Archie Brunton in 1914 in Auckland and had one child, George Archibald Reuben in 1915
Matilda Morrison's father was George Morrison a farmer at Tairua, from Doo Carrick, Ireland and her mother, Sarah, maiden name, Mitchell, from Surrey England. Matilda was born in Tairua in December 1886 the 5th of eleven children.
Looking for the Brunton family from the Wade, Silverdale Auckland New Zealand in 1880s
Archie Brunton is my grandfather and attended the Wade School in 1890 in Silverdale Auckland, New Zealand. Before 1900 the family left the Wade and went farming at Hikuai near Thames, Coromandel in New Zealand. At nearby Tairua he met my grandmother, Mathilda Morrison and in 1915 my father, George Archibald Reuben Brunton was born.
Archie left for service in World War one in 1916 and was killed near Ypres in Belgium in 1917.

I recently got a new laptop (Asus N56VM) that features an Elantech touch pad. After spending 2 days straight figuring out how to get mint 13 cinnamon installed on a UEFI system, this is my last real hurdle (besides gettiing grub2 to successfully boot UEFI Windows 7). The touch pad works as a mouse, however, none of the more advanced features work (multi-touch, etc). I have tried everything I have found here and on Ubuntu's forums. I ended up compiling the latest stable kernel from kernel.org just to get my backlit keyboard and hotkeys to work. I needed the more recent kernel in order to install a new asus-wmi kernel module. I built new kernel using the config that came with the 3.2-generic kernel in /boot.
Does anyone have any tips for getting my touchpad use the elantech driver? I have found no evidence that the system recognizes it as any kind of touchpad. I have checked syslog, xinput list, /proc/bus/input/devices/. I don't know what to try next. I can provide any additional information needed.
So I rebuilt the kernel using:
Then installed both the new image and headers. Upon rebooting, I enabled debug output by appending debug to my kernel options in grub. Still no go with the elantech mouse detection, i.e. still generic ps/2 mouse. I wanted to try enabling debug output in the mouse driver to see if I could find anything out about why the elantech driver thought this wasn't a touchpad. I made sure I could load the kernel module manually by running:
Code: Select all
make oldconfig
make prepare
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=.20120906 kernel_image kernel_headers
Code: Select all
sudo rmmod psmouse
in my {kernel source}/drivers/input/mouse directory
Code: Select all
sudo insmod ./psmouse.ko
Surprisingly upon checking "xinput list", it now loaded as an Elantech mouse driver. Seems odd, so I remove it again and load the module from the /lib/modules location using:
Hmm back to generic ps/2 mouse. I can do this over and over. Some reason using modprobe is effecting device detection. Just to be sure I was using the same module, I ran "
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe psmouse
" and got the Elantech pad working.
Code: Select all
sudo insmod /lib/modules/220.127.116.1120906/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

A few photos of a beautiful old house
I took these photos at an estate sale in a fine old house in Hopkinsville, a few weeks ago. I don't know the exact date of the house's construction, but I think it was built between 1870 and 1900 -- in other words, within the Victorian era. I read in the newspaper that a historic house nearby was built in 1875.
The two photos above were taken in the foyer. The photo at left looks into the foyer from near the front door. A bench (where the platters are displayed) and a half-wall separate the entry area from the stairway landing. The photo at right (above) is taken from behind the half-wall looking toward the front door. (A better photographer would have noticed that the candlestick and light fixture were conflicting in this image.)
The house is equipped with a fireplace in each of the four front rooms downstairs. There's probably an upstairs fireplace directly above each first-floor fireplace, connecting into the same chimney. The tiled fireplace at left (above, sorry it's not a very good picture) is in one of the downstairs family rooms. The mirrored mantle with carved lion heads at right (above) is part of the front parlor's fireplace.
The two photos above were taken in the dining room. I really like the tall narrow windows with their leaded inserts at the top. I am not sure what to call the built-in cabinet in the photo at right. It seems to be a place where table linens and silverware might have been kept, and it probably could have been used as a dry bar. I guess it's a sideboard.
The kitchen hadn't been modernized much beyond the installation of gas and running water. It was surprising, but interesting, that each cabinet was a separate, movable piece of furniture. The kitchen range was installed under the flue in the spot that the old cookstove (fueled by wood or coal) had once occupied. A big pantry, with shelves all the way up to the ceiling, was ample compensation for the lack of modern wall cabinets.
Another interesting thing I noticed was that the back second-story wall of the house did not have a stone facade like the rest of the house. Maybe that's because of the construction problems the weight of the stone would have created, or maybe that's because the stone facade was added sometime after the house was built.
Oh, I'd have a million questions about the construction and history of this house, if I were moving into it. I hope the next resident of the home will be diligent in preserving it, because it's a treasure. I'm glad I had a chance to see some of its inner wonders.

Purpose: This document provides a general procedure for cleaning a user's mailbox in Outlook 2010. If a user has reached their mailbox quota, they must follow this procedure.
The first step in cleaning the mailbox is to assess the current state of the mailbox. Open Outlook 2011. Select the 'File' tab, followed by the 'Info' menu item.
Click the 'Cleanup Tools' button.
Select 'Mailbox Cleanup' from the menu that appears.
On the 'Mailbox Cleanup' dialogue, click the 'View Mailbox Size' button and the 'Folder Size' dialogue will appear. This will show you the total size of the mailbox, including a breakdown of individual mailbox folders and their sizes. Sizes are listed in Kilobytes; divide this number by 1000 if you want an approximate size in Megabytes. At this point, it is recommended that you empty the deleted items folder and alternate versions of items in the mailbox. Using the deleted items folder for email storage is not recommended.
AutoArchive is the easiest way to manage your flood of email. On the 'File' tab, select 'Options'.
Set AutoArchive to run every day and to not prompt before it runs. It's not very automatic if it stops to prompt you, and the process runs much quicker if it runs each day.
The most critical setting is the 'Clean out items older than' setting. The default is six months; anything older than this threshold age will automatically be moved to the specified archive file, while preserving folder structure. If you receive and send large quantities of email, you may need to reduce the threshold. I set mine at one month – I am used to looking for items older than one month in my archive.
Once you have modified settings, be sure to click the 'Apply these settings to all folders now' button.
If you don't already have your archive present in your Outlook main window under the 'Home' tab, add it using the 'File', 'Open' option.
Your Archive should now be visible under the 'Home' tab.
AutoArchive may also be started at any time from the 'File' tab, under 'Info', 'Cleanup Tools', 'Mailbox Cleanup'.

Epithelial tissue
Epithelial Tissues
Structure| Sqaumous Epithelium| Cubiodal Epithelium| Columnar Epithelium| Stratified Epithelium| Functions of Epithelium|
Structure Epithelial tissue covers the whole surface of the body. It is made up of cells closely packed and ranged in one or more layers. This tissue is specialised to form the covering or lining of all internal and external body surfaces. Epithelial tissue that occurs on surfaces on the interior of the body is known as endothelium. Epithelial cells are packed tightly together, with almost no intercellular spaces and only a small amount of intercellular substance. Epithelial tissue, regardless of the type, is usually separated from the underlying tissue by a thin sheet of connective tissue; basement membrane. The basement membrane provides structural support for the epithelium and also binds it to neighbouring structures. Types of Epithelial Tissue Epithelial tissue can be divided into two groups depending on the number of layers of which it is composes. Epithelial tissue which is only one cell thick is known as simple epithelium. If it is two or more cells thick such as the skin, it is known as stratified epithelium. Simple epithelium Simple epithelium can be subdivided according to the shape and function of its cells. Squamous (pavement) epithelium. Squamous cells have the appearance of thin, flat plates. The shape of the nucleus usually corresponds to the cell form and help to identify the type of epithelium. Squamous cells, for example, tend to have horizontall flattened, elliptical nuclei because of the thin flattened form of the cell. They form the lining of cavities such as the mouth, blood vessels, heart and lungs and make up the outer layers of the skin.
Simple sqaumous epithelium Simple Cuboidal Epithelium. As their name implies, cuboidal cells are roughly square or cuboidal in shape. Each cell has a spherical nucleus in the centre. Cuboidal epithelium is found in glands and in the lining of the kidney tubules as well as in the ducts of the glands. They also constitute the germinal epithelium which produces the egg cells in the female ovary www.botany .uwc.ac.za/sci_ed/grade10/mammal/epithelial.htmand the sperm cells in the male testes.
Epithelial tissue
egg cells in the female ovary and the sperm cells in the male testes.
Simple cuboidal epithelium Simple Columnar Epithelium Columnar epithelial cells occur in one or more layers. The cells are elongated and column-shaped. The nuclei are elongated and are usually located near the base of the cells. Columnar epithelium forms the lining of the stomach and intestines. Some columnar cells are specialised for sensory reception such as in the nose, ears and the taste buds of the tongue. Goblet cells (unicellular glands) are found between the columnar epithelial cells of the duodenum. They secrete mucus or slime, a lubricating substance which keeps the surface smooth.
Simple columnar epithelium Ciliated Columnar Epithelium These are simple columnar epithelial cells, but in addition, they posses fine hair-like outgrowths, cilia on their free surfaces. These cilia are capable of rapid, rhythmic, wavelike beatings in a certain direction. This movement of the cilia in a certain direction causes the mucus, which is secreted by the goblet cells, to move (flow or stream) in that direction. Ciliated epithelium is usually found in the air passages like the nose. It is also found in the uterus and Fallopian tubes of females. The movement of the cilia propel the ovum to the uterus.
Epithelial tissue
Ciliated columnar epithelium Glandular Epithelium Columnar epithelium with goblet cells is called glandular epithelium. Some parts of the glandular epithelium consist of such a large number of goblet cells that there are only a few normal epithelial cells left. Columnar and cuboidal epithelial cells often become specialised as gland cells which are capable of synthesising and secreting certain substances such as enzymes, hormones, milk, mucus, sweat, wax and saliva. Unicellular glands consist of single, isolated glandular cells such as the goblet cells. Sometimes a portion of the epithelial tissue becomes invaginated and a multicellular gland is formed. Multicellular glands are composed of clusters of cells. Most glands are multicellular including the the salivary glands.
Glandular epithelium Stratified Epithelium. Where body linings have to withstand wear and tear, the epithelia are composed of several layers of cells and are then called compound or stratified epithelium. The top cells are flat and scaly and it may or may not be keratinised (i.e. containing a tough, resistant protein called keratin). The mammalian skin is an example of dry, keratinised, stratified epithelium. The lining of the mouth cavity is an example of an unkeratinisied, stratified epithelium.

Epithelial tissue
Stratified epithelium Functions of Epithelial Tissue Protection Epithelial cells from the skin protect underlying tissue from mechanical injury, harmful chemicals, invading bacteria and from excessive loss of water. Sensation Sensory stimuli penetrate specialised epithelial cells. Specialised epithelial tissue containing sensory nerve endings is found in the skin, eyes, ears, nose and on the tongue. Secretion In glands, epithelial tissue is specialised to secrete specific chemical substances such as enzymes, hormones and lubricating fluids. Absorption Certain epithelial cells lining the small intestine absorb nutrients from the digestion of food. Excretion Epithelial tissues in the kidney excrete waste products from the body and reabsorb needed materials from the urine. Sweat is also excreted from the body by epithelial cells in the sweat glands. Diffusion Simple epithelium promotes the diffusion of gases, liquids and nutrients. Because they form such a thin lining, they are ideal for the diffusion of gases (eg. walls of capillaries and lungs). Cleaning Ciliated epithelium assists in removing dust particles and foreign bodies which have entered the air

Working in physics: Physicists without borders
Experienced physicists looking for the opportunity to get involved in international-development work may find the IAEA to be a perfect fit, as Michelle Jeandron discovers.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has its headquarters in Vienna, Austria, is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN) that seeks to promote the safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear technology. It has three main areas of expertise. It is the world's nuclear inspectorate, sending inspectors to more than 140 UN member states, from Brazil to Japan, to verify that nuclear technology is not being used for military purposes. The IAEA also helps countries to improve their nuclear safety procedures and to prepare for emergencies. Finally, it serves as a focal point for the world's development of nuclear science and technology across all fields.
The science and technology arm of the IAEA consists of a diverse team of several hundred scientists experienced in doing research in all areas that use atomic or nuclear technology, including medical physics, isotope hydrology, plant breeding (radiation is used to induce mutations) and nuclear fission and fusion. People with physics backgrounds can be found working on specific projects in most of these areas — and especially those related to nuclear energy.
However, the IAEA also has a dedicated "Physics Section", which comes under the umbrella of the Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications. This currently consists of six professional physicists, as well as a team of clerical staff, who are all based in Vienna.
"Whereas physicists in other departments are working on just one project or sub-programme, the Physics Section is in a position to support the member states with their more general physics needs," explains section head Günter Mank. "Say a member state wants to know how neutrons can be used to detect explosives. It can come to us and the Physics Section will explain about the possibilities and the restrictions, and provide guidance on how to initiate such an activity." For example, the section is currently providing assistance to the SESAME light-source project, which is a synchrotron facility being built in Jordan that, it is hoped, will foster scientific co-operation throughout the Middle East (see Physics World April pp16–17; print version only).
The support given by the Physics Section usually involves providing education and training in the operation of accelerators and research reactors, and helping member states to select, run and maintain the instrumentation that they need for their nuclear activities. "Together with the IAEA's Technical Cooperation Department, for instance, we are supporting a new laboratory in Afghanistan, ensuring that they get the basic physics equipment they need for teaching students about nuclear physics and radiation physics," Mank explains. This facility, which will be part of Kabul University, will improve the university's existing nuclear-physics programmes and will include provision for several new medical-physics experiments.
Fostering fusion
One of the most important duties that the Physics Section has to fulfil is looking after the IAEA's sub-programme on nuclear fusion. As part of this role, it is the facilitator of the ITER project, a co-operative venture, first proposed in the mid-1980s, to create an experimental fusion reactor. Currently involving China, the European Union (EU), India, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the US, the plan is to construct and run a large tokamak designed to produce approximately 500 MW of fusion power sustained for up to 400 s. Last year, Mank and his colleagues were able to celebrate as ITER was formally established as an international organization and building work got under way at the project site in Cadarache, France.
Another important way in which the Physics Section supports fusion research is by organizing scientific meetings that bring together the world's fusion experts to discuss their work. "Every two years we organize the so-called Fusion Energy Conference," Mank explains. "This year's conference, which will take place in Geneva in October, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the UN starting work on fusion in 1958." (The IAEA itself turned 50 last year, see Physics World July 2007 pp8–9; print version only.)
The nature of this work means that physicists working in the Physics Section do not actually do physics research themselves. Instead, a typical working day might involve attending a scientific or administrative meeting with representatives from member states, as well as preparing for and organizing other such meetings. "I myself prepare two to three technical meetings worldwide each year, which involves interacting with the member states and liaising with the speakers or the local organizer," says Mank.
The IAEA also provide grants or fellowships to physicists from developing countries who would like to attend these events, and administering these is the responsibility of the Physics Section. "We are also involved in about 30–40 technical co-operation projects worldwide — such as the new physics laboratory at Kabul — for which there has to be some paperwork done and items have to be procured," Mank continues. "Overall we see ourselves as a knowledgeable facilitator for the member states."
Cosmopolitan physics
People who come to work in the Physics Section are usually experienced physicists who already have a successful international research career. Mank, for example, is originally from Germany and has a background in fusion and plasma physics. Before joining the IAEA in 2003, he worked on international projects at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory in Michigan, US, at the Jülich Research Centre in Germany, as well as on preparations for the European Spallation Source. "The driving force for me was a desire to initiate new things in an international environment," he explains. "Indeed, I get the impression that a lot of scientists who come to the IAEA would like to make a difference."
Joining the Physics Section provides physicists with the opportunity to become more deeply involved in international science administration — in fact, officers in the section are often individually responsible for projects such as SESAME. "One of my officers, for example, who was an expert in using low and medium-energy accelerators, was working with member states in Africa to build-up a sub-Saharan network of accelerators," says Mank. "The UN allows us, within restrictions, to encourage new ideas."
To succeed in this type of role, therefore, you need to have a lot of international experience. Having worked in a range of different countries is a must, and being good at languages is beneficial. "Being a physicist in the IAEA is not only about physics, it is also about a lot of cultural interactions," concludes Mank. "It is very important that physicists who come to the IAEA recognize the multicultural environment and the different possibilities and restrictions that other cultures present for doing science."
For young physicists interested in a career in scientific administration, the Physics Section takes on several interns for 3–6 months each year, see www.iaea.org/About/Jobs/internships.html

Until his sudden death on June 2, 1987, Fr. Tony de Mello was the director of the Sadhana Institute of Pastoral Counseling near Poona, India. Author of five best selling books, renowned worldwide for his workshops, retreats, and prayer courses, he aimed simply to teach people HOW TO PRAY, how to WAKE UP AND LIVE.
Most people, he maintained, are asleep. They need to wake up, open up their eyes, see what is real, both inside and outside of themselves.
The greatest human gift is to be aware, to be in touch with oneself, one's body, mind, feelings, thoughts, sensations. Here are some of his typical challenges: "Come home yourself! Come back to your senses! Do you hear that bird sing? How can you hear the song and not hear the singer? How can you see the wave and not see the ocean? How can you see the dance and not see the dancer?"
The thousands of people who attended Fr. de Mello's workshops, and the thousands more who did not attend but who wished they could have, will surely consider it a great blessing that full-length conferences of this superbly gifted and eloquent speaker have been preserved. It is just the way he was, uninhibited by a TV studio or time limits. It is a priceless final gift he has left his friends.
In the spirit of Anthony de Mello, S.J. and Francis Stroud, S.J., Jonathan Galente and Desmond Towey, Trustees, deMello Spirituality Center, The Church of the Epiphany, Manhattan, NY together present spiritual themes and exercises that can enrich and transform your life.

McALLEN � Ten south Texas residents have been sentenced to federal prison for their roles in a scheme to defraud the American Family Life Assurance Company (Aflac) by filing false injury claims under Aflac's Accident-Only Insurance Plan, U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced today.
A total of 36 persons were charged in mid-June 2011 in a number of indictments for their roles in a scheme to defraud Aflac of millions of dollars by filing thousands of false injury claims.
This morning, U.S. District Judge Micaela Alvarez sentenced 10 of these defendants to terms of imprisonment without parole each to be followed by a three-year-term of supervised release and ordered that they make full restitution to Aflac. The sentences imposed were as follows:
Rachel Betancourt, 42, of Edinburg, Texas --- 27 months in prison and $96,955 in restitution Dalia Cerda-Delgado, , of Palmview, Texas --- 24 months in prison and $38,925 in restitution Lilly Perez, 32, of La Villa, Texas --- 24 months in prison and $139,120 in restitution Patricia Cerda-Flores, 44, of Palmview, Texas --- 18 months in prison and $86,395 in restitution Desiree Rodriguez, 34, of Edinburg, Texas --- 17 months in prison and $109,450 in restitution Maria C. Alaniz, 39, of Elsa, Texas --- 15 months in prison and $88,340 in restitution Jose Rodriguez, 34, of Edinburg, Texas --- 15 months in prison and $102,335 in restitution Ninfa Reyes, 38, of Edcouch, Texas --- 12 months and one day in prison and $38,925 in restitution Noemi Villareal, 60, of Edcouch, Texas --- 12 months and one day in prison and $63,450 in restitution Rebecca Castillo, 41, of Edinburg, Texas --- eight months in prison and $17,510 in restitution
The 10 defendants above pleaded guilty in August 2011 to one count of wire fraud, admitting that they engaged in a fraud as a policyholder under Aflac's Accident-Only Insurance Plan. Specifically, from 2005 through 2010, the defendants routinely delivered lists of fake accidents and injuries to two physicians in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The physicians prepared an "accident report" for each fake injury in exchange for a cash kickback of approximately $15 per accident report. In each report, the physicians falsely claimed they had provided treatment and prescribed medicine to the defendants for their purported injuries. Over time, the defendants above faxed approximately 6,944 false injury claims and accident reports (purportedly certifying the fake injuries) to Aflac in Columbus, Ga. The 10 defendants received various amounts of money from Aflac totaling $778, 470.
Earlier this month, six of the defendants charged in this case were sentenced to prison and ordered to pay restitution by U.S. District Judge Randy Crane for periods ranging from six months to 12 months and one day. They include Idaleen Sanchez, 34, Valerio Ramos, 55, Rigoberto Ramirez, 30, Eddie Guerra, 35, Jose Guerra, 47, and Norma Sanchez, 40. An additional 11 defendants---Lucila Alcala, 40, Leonor Salinas, 46, Norma Flores, 54, Nora L. Palacios, 53, Georgina Flores, 43, Jessica Herrera, 30, Nancy Rodriguez, 32, Maria Cantu, 56, Denise Rendon, 38, Beatriz Carreon, 44, and Minerva Murgia, 43, have pleaded guilty to wire fraud and are awaiting sentencing at various times this fall. Seven other defendants are awaiting trial and are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
All defendants were allowed to continue on bond and voluntarily surrender to a Bureau of Prisons facility to be designated in the near future.
The investigation leading to the charges was conducted by the FBI. Assistant United States Attorney Greg Saikin is prosecuting the case.

Start Your Family Tree Week
Start Your Family Tree Week runs from 26 December 2010 until 1 January 2011
The 26th December 2010 will see the launch of the UK's first ever family history awareness campaign, Start Your Family Tree Week, at a time when family is at the forefront of the nation's minds. Taking part in Start Your Family Tree Week are www.findmypast.co.uk, www.GenesReunited.co.uk, www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, Eneclann, the Society of Genealogists, My History, BBC Who Do You Think You Are Magazine, Your Family Tree and Family Tree magazine and the week is supported by the Federation of Family History Societies and the UK's digital champion Martha Lane Fox.
Although the popularity of family history has grown dramatically in the UK over the past decade, with 42% of the population now saying they have started researching their ancestors, one in three people say they would like to start delving into their family's past but have no idea where to begin*. Start Your Family Tree Week has been launched to encourage people to discover more about their ancestors in a fun and exciting way. The week, which will run until the 1st January 2011, will show people how to take their first steps in family history research with free guides and charts to download, competitions, special offers on participating websites and daily family history activities for all the family.
Further details on Start Your Family Tree Week can be found at:
Debra Chatfield, Marketing Manager at findmypast.co.uk, said: "Start Your Family Tree Week will help people make the most of Christmas family gatherings to pass on their family memories across the generations, and to share in brand new discoveries by using online family history resources.
The internet has made it so much easier to trace your family tree and learn about your family's own unique story, full of colourful, real-life characters from the past. Every family has its intrigues, well-kept secrets and heart-warming tales, and I believe we could soon see family history becoming the traditional Christmas pastime for all the family."
Rhoda Breakell, head of Genes Reunited, comments: "Grannies sinking sherries, dads taking an afternoon nap and siblings squabbling is a typical Christmas Day for most, but it makes you wonder whether your family has always been like that. With this year's yuletide festivities just around the corner it's a great time for you to think about your family's roots. Start Your Family Tree Week is an ideal time to start exploring your family history, whether it's tracing great-grandparents' names, searching military records or even discovering that you have a famous sportsperson in your gene pool, the resources and offers available from 26th December will make it an easy and fun journey."
Martha Lane Fox, UK Digital Champion comments: "I think findmypast.co.uk's'Go ON: Start Your Family Tree Week' is a great idea. Whilst the internet
has become a gateway to the future for many it is also an amazingly powerful tool for uncovering the past and reconnecting people in ways that were once unimaginable. Christmas is the perfect time for families to explore their history and encourage older relatives to go online for the first time - I hope that this initiative is a great success and urge everyone to get involved."
Else Churchill, Genealogist at The Society of Genealogists added: "The Society of Genealogists has been helping people discover their roots for 100 years. Hence we are delighted to support Start Your Family History Week and introduce as many as we can to the fascinations of genealogy."

Great information to know! Thanks!

- Brian Thomson said...
The initiative is welcome but it states that 42% of UK population have started researching their ancestors and one in three would like to start (ie 33%) , so that means only 25% of the British population have little or no interest in genealogy ?.
Unfortunately that is unbelievable - yes there are lies, damn lies and spurious statistics
- 22 December 2010 at 20:06
- Chris Paton said...
I never take statistics too seriously, partly because they can be compiled and interpreted in so many different ways.
I think it kind of misses the point though - it's an opportunity. If you're already researching your tree, then it will be of little interest. If not, then it may of immense interest. Ultimately whether people get involved or not is going to boil down to the odds being 50-50 - either they will or they won't!
- 22 December 2010 at 20:13
Hi Chris,
I agree it's an opportunity for people, but I don't agree that offering questionable statistics is helpful marketing for family history research - which should after all be about accuracy
- 23 December 2010 at 00:19
- Chris Paton said...
Family history research is about accuracy, certainly, but this is about advertising - I suspect that is not the same thing!
I'm not saying you are right or wrong Brian, I donlt know, I did not do the research for the stats, but to be honest, I just don't find it that relevant. Anything that can encourage people to have a look at their ancestry for themselves can only be a good thing. If there is a problem with the stats, the best bet is to challenge brightsolid on that, and on how they were compiled. Do you have different figures from another source that disproves them?

(Hamilton) City Cycling Plan Mapped and Online
Transportation for Liveable Communities has taken the data from the Shifting Gears Cycling Plan, recently approved by council, and mapped it out on an interactive Google Map.
The map of 223 city and 49 rural projects can be found at tlchamilton.org.
"We decided to make the map available online so people can see where the new bike lanes and multi-use trails will be and think about how the new routes can be used in their day-to-day routines. We encourage people to pick up the phone and let their councillors know that they support the plan," says Nicholas Ellens of TLC.

Rochester: an emerging world-class cycling spot
High Falls is a stunning natural landmark and attraction in downtown Rochester, but to people bicycling through the city on the Genesee Riverway Trail, there's no clear, marked way to get there. Cyclist Jon Schull says that he takes a different route each time because he doesn't know the best way to go.
"We are already one of the best bicycling destinations in the world, but no one is telling that story."

New York City bikers to protest in the buff Saturday over bike lane removal
Bicyclists planning a Saturday protest ride are calling it their "Freedom Ride" - free of clothing, that is. And they may be pedaling naked in a fierce snowstorm, if the forecast holds.
The removal of clothing is meant as a protest over the removal of a bike lane in Williamsburg, an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. The activists want to go topless in front of Hasidic residents who "can't handle scantily clad women" on wheels, bike messenger Heather Loop told a local newspaper earlier this week.

FAQ on Actovegin
An Expert Explains How the Drug May Enhance Athletic Performance
Actovegin, a potentially performance-enhancing drug for athletes, is suddenly in the news after media reports that a Canadian doctor who has also treated Tiger Woods is under investigation by U.S. and Canadian authorities for possibly providing it and other substances to athletes.
According to news reports, Anthony Galea, MD, was arrested in mid-October in Toronto, and the FBI has since entered the case.
Actovegin, produced by an Austrian pharmaceutical company, has legitimate medical uses, experts say, but it is not approved by the FDA. Galea had reportedly treated Woods with plasma therapy (not Actovegin) after a knee injury in 2008.

Woman hit in unpainted bike lane is not protected by law
When Portlander Rob Daray witnessed a right-hook collision on his commute home last summer he thought it was obvious who was at fault. So did the police officer who cited the operator of the motor vehicle for "failure to yield to a bicycle." Even the woman driving the car admitted she made an abrupt right turn without checking her blind spots.
But when the case came up in traffic court, the judge came to a different conclusion and now Mr. Daray and others familiar with this are worried that people who ride bicycles are vulnerable — not just on the street, but in the legal system as well.

Bumps, bruises don't stop wakeboarder
Staff writer
If you are at Marion County Lake most weekends in the summer, chances are you will see a boat either navigated by or pulling Jared Smith.
If he is driving, he will be aware of the wind direction, state of the water, and safety of the family member or friend he is towing. If he is behind the boat, he will usually be on a wakeboard.
Wakeboarding is highly technical and exciting sport to watch. It takes strength, skill, and above all a pinpoint focus to execute even the simplest of the moves in its deep lexicon.
Jared Smith is a lake person. He is at home in the water. In 1990, his parents, Jay and Judy Smith, moved to Marion County Lake not long after his father bought a boat, and Jared's relationship with the lake began.
"We used to paddle dad's old boat more than it ran," Smith said. "But I got into wakeboarding back in 1997 when it first appeared on the X-games."
His cousin, Toby, who worked at a marina in El Dorado, gave him a special wakeboarding rope and encouraged him to try it.
"It was the summer before my freshman year in high school," Smith said.
Ever since that summer, he was hooked on wakeboarding.
His first board was a Big Kahuna.
"It had sandal bindings, which means that when you wreck the board comes off your feet and it doesn't hurt as much," Smith said.
It was a beginner board. As a beginner he wrecked a lot.
"I would dig and flyswatter," he said, slapping his hands together to emphasize the sound of the impact. "My nose was like a ketchup packet."
Over the years, he bought his own boat and more advanced equipment, but even as his skill increased, he had some terrible wrecks.
"I had a broken eardrum, a dislocated shoulder, and one time I face planted so hard that my both of my contacts were driven up on top of my eyeballs and Mom had to stick her fingers up there to fish them out," he said.
Injury did not stop Smith's love for the sport, however. He periodically studied other wake boarders on YouTube to learn how to do new tricks. He spent one summer learning how to "ride switch," which means to ride the wakeboard in an inverted stance.
"It's a simple-looking thing but it is much more difficult than it looks," he said.
He has also been able to execute some rather difficult-looking wakeboarding maneuvers. He has done a 360, a tantrum, and a back role to name a few. He explained the difference: "A tantrum is a back flip, and a back role is where you cross the wake while doing a gainer."
A gainer is a reverse cartwheel motion, when the boarder approaches the wake from the heel side of the board.
It is not just the tricks that excite him.
"You are being pulled at a speed of 20 mph on a rope that is 70 feet long attached to a tower that is 10 feet tall," he said. "The general rule on maximum height is 5 feet above where the rope is attached. So you can get some really big air if the conditions are right."
He once got so high that he had time to look around and realize, "Oh, my God, I am flying."
One rarely gets time to think while in the air.
"You have to concentrate on exactly what you are doing and when you are going to do it," he said. "Not only that but you have to be comfortable with it."
Smith gets a lot of satisfaction out of wakeboarding.
"It's all about those 5 seconds of gratitude, that adrenaline you get when you go for it and really stomp it," he said.
With all his enthusiasm, he admits he is getting older, and the older he gets the less agile he has become.
"Now for me it is more about the kids, like Dad did with me and my brothers, Jake and Josh."
Smith is married now and has his own family. His wife, Chelse and he have two boys. Cole, their oldest, is almost 7 and is already wakeboarding. Their youngest, Max, is a little over 1 year old and is already familiar with the Marion County Lake.
Smith takes his family out on a regular basis.
"Sunday fun day — it is a family thing we try to do every week," he said. "Chelse organizes everything. I just do the grunt work,".
They grill, boat, and hang out with family and friends.
"It's something Dad started."

Last week I did a review of the Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill powder eyeshadows and L'oreal Infalliable shadows too. There are some obvious comparisons between the two products; both come in little pots, both are densely pressed loose powder eyeshadows, both have intense pigmentation and creamy textures….so I thought I'd do a quick comparison between the two:
First off I like both of these products from both manufacturers; I think they are worth a go and are far less messy than normal loose pigments which I get everywhere….
The Armani is far superior in a heavy glass tub, and sturdy screw on lid. L'oreal's is cheap plastic, lightweight and has the ugly writing on top. Having said that, neither packaging is outstanding and it doesn't really matter that much, it's not like a lipstick which you may pull out in public.
L'oreal has 3.5grams and Armani as 4grams. Not much in either really!
The Armani is far more interesting because the colours offered are really interesting combinations. L'oreal sticks with obvious colours that caters for a large general audience like gold, blue, purple, khaki, white etc.
Texture and Pigmentation:
Both brands offer silky smooth buttery textures; I think Armani has the slight edge in creaminess, whereas L'oreal is more likely to come apart into loose powder. However, both are excellent.
Both are also very pigmented and rich in colour.
Armani is extortionate at £26 and L'oreal is £6.99 but there's various offers floating around (ie. 3 for 2) usually. You can pretty much get 4 L'oreals for one Armani shadow.
Having said ALL of this, the fact that Armani has a slightly better texture, nicer colours, nicer packaging – it pains me to say – that L'oreals is the better purchase. The price of the Armani is just crazy. I tried to replicate the Purple colour I have in the Armani by mixing Purple Obsession and Goldmine in the L'oreal and to be honest it isn't a mile off.
Eyes to kill has slightly more depth but the for price you might as well go ahead and buy more L'oreal infalliable shadows and mix them up into interesting combinations yourself.
Which eyeshadow would you prefer?

Sri Lanka Tourism has identified MICE segment as a key driver of tourism growth and a contributor for overall economic development of Sri Lanka. As a result of the Wonder of Asia promotional campaign initiated by Ministry of Economic Development and Sri Lanka Tourism in Europe, Sri Lankan Travel agents have been receiving many up market incentive groups to Sri Lanka during the recent past. One of Sri Lanka's leading travel agents Connaisance De Ceylon received a group of 130 pax incentive group from Toulouse – France on 26th March which is latest addition to the group incentive travelers visiting the country.
The group consisted of high end tourists from France representing different segments and mainly looking for investment opportunities in Sri Lanka. Due to the new infrastructure developments in the country especially in the areas of domestic air travel, the group took flight using MI 17 helicopters of Heli Tours. A fleet of 06 helicopters carried the incentive group for sightseeing tour from Kandy to down south. The Helitours Pvt Ltd unveiled its newest fleet of helicopters recently which are highly sophisticated for tourist travel.
The groups was highly impressed with the novel experience of having the opportunity to take a birds eye view of Sri Lanka's luscious greenery and landscape from skies above. They were in full of praise on the latest developments taken place in Sri Lanka for high end tourist travelers such as what they experienced travelling by helicopters. Chairman of Connaisance De Ceylon Chandra Wickramasinhe played a pivotal role in bringing down and organizing the innovative experience offered to the insentive group from France.

Coker's two solid halves were more then enough to defeat Pfeiffer, 83-64 behind Sharod Williams' and Charles West's 14 points each on Tuesday night in Conference Carolinas men's basketball action.
The Cobras played a solid first half bringing a 38-30 lead into the locker rooms. Junior Williams (Miami, Fla.) was the first player to hit double digits, heading into the half with 10. Coker's bench combined for 19 points. Sophomore Ethan Gort (Hilton Head, S.C.) came off the bench and picked up five rebounds as well as seven points. Freshman Eren Moses (New York, N.Y.) also had a stellar first half picking up six points.
Pfeiffer stormed out with an 8-2 lead to start the game, but they could not sustain it. Senior Danny Smith (Hyattsville, MD) led the Falcons offense with 12 points. Collectively, Pfeiffer had 15 rebounds. They also scored the final points of the half with a shot from Smith that he just barely managed to get off before the buzzer sounded. As a team they shot 34.6 percent from the floor.
Coker's solid first half carried over into the second as they outscored Pfeiffer 45-34. Sophomore Julian Nelson (Irmo, S.C.) had an impressive second half netting 11 points and four rebounds. Coker led a fairly balanced attack with nearly every player scoring in the half. West (Ellenwood, Ga.) finished the game with 14 points.
Junior Reggie Hollinger (Orlando, FL) tried to rally the Falcons with 12 points of his own, but Pfeiffer couldn't get a run going.
Coker improved to 8-9 with the win, and a 2-6 mark in conference; while Pfeiffer falls to 8-9 with a 3-5 mark during conference play. Coker's next game is Saturday, January 28, against Limestone at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, N.C. at 2:15 p.m.
McDonald's Player of the Game- Sharod Williams
Williams had 14 points and eight rebounds.

Vehicle Thermal Management
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) works closely with vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, and fleet partners to research solutions to climate control and thermal system challenges that can reduce vehicle fuel use and emissions. The lab's thermal management research helps optimize the thermal performance of both light- and heavy-duty conventional, hybrid, and electric vehicles.
Inefficient cabin climate control can dramatically increase fuel consumption and emissions, as well as posing safety hazards due to ineffective windshield defrosting and defogging. The lab's vehicle thermal management team researches advanced approaches to climate control which increase fuel economy and decrease emissions while maintaining passenger comfort. Approaches include improvements to cabin insulation, window systems, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems.
NREL's capabilities and expertise combine thermal analysis tools, experimental methods, and thermal comfort assessment to develop effective solutions for these thermal management challenges.
Light-Duty Vehicles
The more than 232 million light-duty vehicles in the United States account for more than 59% percent of all transportation-related energy use. NREL's light-duty vehicle thermal management research develops and evaluates technologies that reduce the amount of energy needed for climate control in both conventional and electric-drive vehicles.
Heavy-Duty Vehicles
Trucks move about 72% of the 18.3 billion tons of freight transported across the United States each year. Idling these vehicles to heat and cool cab/sleeper spaces improves driver comfort and safety, but consumes large quantities of fuel and produces polluting emissions. NREL's heavy-duty vehicle thermal management research helps cut fleet operating costs, fuel consumption, and tailpipe emissions by reducing the amount of energy required to control cab temperatures.
NREL uses a range of vehicle thermal management lab facilities for research and analysis. NREL also applies and when needed develops vehicle thermal management modeling tools.

It was definitely a week to celebrate for the Seventh Day Adventist Church of Cape Coral.
On Thursday, the church celebrated the first anniversary of its community services center downtown.
On Saturday, the congregation got together following its service on Saturday to break ground on a new $2 million worship center and classroom complex at its location at 1813 El Dorado Parkway, West, thanks to the generosity of many of its members.

The congregation at The Seventh Day Adventist Church of Cape Coral gathers during the groundbreaking ceremony for a new sanctuary on Saturday at the church.
The new building will be used for services and Bible study, as the original structure has gotten too cramped for its nearly 180 person congregation.
"As we were worshipping together, we would occasionally bump into each other. One person said we needed a new church," said Pastor Roger Lucas. "We visited and found out he was willing to grant us $1 million to start a new worship center."
The congregation and other people in and out of state have matched that, Lucas said.
Lucas is hopeful the new structure will be completed in time for Christmas, certainly in time for next Easter. When completed, the current building will be used for offices and as a place for fellowship, as currently it has to be transformed for lunch following services.
For those in the congregation, it's a matter of counting the days.
"We've been waiting for this day to arrive and it's finally here. We have the opportunity to invite more people to come worship here," said parishioner Elvia Fern.
"It's been a great week. We've come here every night to praise God for all the miracles he's provided so we can build a new sanctuary," said Rita Hartman. "We're looking forward to the new project and the mercies God is going to provide."
The Adventist Community Services center at 829 S.E. 47th Terrace, across from the bus depot, offers food, clothing and resource counseling to those in need Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"It's there for anyone in need. We give them food and clothing, which helps them a lot," said church deaconess Peggy Sterriker. "We've done all this by word of mouth, without any advertising."
The Thursday event featured several members of the Cape Coral Police Department, and Councilmember Lenny Nesta. Since it was Thursday, the offices were open, allowing those in need to get they needed, Sterriker said.
The Seventh Day Adventist Church of Cape Coral was founded seven years ago, worshiping first at Gulf Elementary School before moving to its present location in 2009.


text: O'Grady's confession came just days after the Australian announced his retirement [EPA]Only days after retiring from professional cycling, Stuart O'Grady admitted to using a blood-booster during the scandal-plagued 1998 Tour de France. The 39-year-old Australian rider, a six-time Olympian who wore the leader's yellow jersey for a total of nine days in 17 Tours de France, announced his retirement earlier this week after the 100th edition of the race. He admitted he had used erythropoietin (EPO) for two weeks before the 1998 event, saying he had acquired it himself and used it without the knowledge of his team. His admission in an Australian newspaper came after the French senate inquiry into doping in sport released its findings and implicated dozens of cyclists for suspicious test results, uncovering evidence that 1998 Tour de France champion Marco Pantani and runner-up Jan Ullrich used EPO to fuel their performances. You win Olympics, Paris-Roubaix and now all of that is going to be tainted by this action... That's the hardest thing to swallow out of all this - it was such a long time ago and one very bad judgment is going to taint a lot of things Stuart O'Grady, "You win Olympics, Paris-Roubaix and now all of that is going to be tainted by this action,'' O'Grady, who won the Madison gold medal at the 2004 Olympics and was a silver medallist in the team pursuit at the 1992 Olympics, was quoted as saying Thursday in News Corp Australia newspapers. "That's the hardest thing to swallow out of all this - it was such a long time ago and one very bad judgment is going to taint a lot of things.'' O'Grady told the newspapers he just had to "drive over the border and buy it in a pharmacy'' and used "extremely cautious amounts'' of EPO. Scandal The 1998 Tour de France was notable for the major scandal that emerged with the discovery of widespread doping on the French Festina team. The subsequent police crackdown led to seven of the original 21 teams either withdrawing or being ejected from the Tour. "When the Festina affair happened, I smashed it, got rid of it and that was the last I ever touched it,'' he said. "It wasn't systematic doping, I wasn't trying to deceive people. I was basically trying to survive in what was a very gray area.'' Samples taken at the 1998 race were re-tested in 2004, and anti-doping investigators passed that information to the French government inquiry. France's Senate, after a five-month investigation focused on fighting sports doping, confirmed Wednesday that use of the banned substance EPO was rife in cycling in the late 1990s, before a test for the drug had been developed. Pantani was suspended in 1999 from the Giro after failing a random blood test. He died in 2004 of an accidental drug overdose. Ullrich, the 1997 Tour winner, has admitted to blood doping and was stripped of his third-place finish in the 2005 Tour. O'Grady rode for GAN in 1998. He joined Orica-GreenEdge last year, his fifth pro team, and rode his last Tour with the Australian team, which issued a statement about the veteran rider's admissions. "ORICA-GreenEDGE supports Stuart O'Grady's decision to step forward and place the findings of the French Senate Report into perspective regarding his own past,'' the team's general manager, Shayne Bannan, said. "The team would also like to express its support in Stuart as a person and as an advocate for a clean sport. Like the majority of the riders in his generation, he was also exposed to the issues and wrongdoings of the sport and made some wrong choices in that environment.'' One-off O'Grady said that brief period before his second Tour de France was the only time he ever used EPO. "I was lucky enough to win a lot of things, they can test my samples from Paris-Roubaix and my Olympic medals for the next thousand years, they're not going to find anything,'' he said. ``There is nothing more to hide.'' The Australian Olympic Committee is expecting O'Grady's resignation from its athletes' commission. "Athletes' Commission members are chosen for their qualities of integrity and leadership and by his admission Stuart does not deserve to be a member of that group,'' AOC president John Coates said. AOC media director Mike Tancred said O'Grady would be dismissed if he didn't quit. "He's a gold medallist, but really his career is tarnished as of today,'' Tancred said. "It's sad he won't be remembered as a fantastic competitor. Instead he'll be remembered as an athlete who succumbed to the temptation of drugs in sport just to get an edge on some of his fellow riders.'' SOURCE: AP Sport Cycling France

Merlene Davis: Stand with Bangladeshi garment workers
I'm cheap. Everyone knows that.
Perhaps that is why I was so saddened when I learned Saturday that a fire killed at least 117 workers in a factory in Bangladesh where 1,700 people worked for pennies to make polo shirts, fleece jackets and T-shirts for U.S. and European companies.
It struck me that I might have contributed to that tragedy by failing to check the origins of the clothing I buy. As long as it was a bargain, I didn't care.
I had tried to buy American when it was a popular movement several years ago, but after a while, it was too difficult. Most of the items I selected were made in other countries.
On Saturday, I saw just how exploitative one of those countries could be.
According to The Associated Press, the operations director for the fire department there said it was not the fire but a lack of safety measures that caused many of the deaths.
That reverberated in my mind.
Most of the garment workers in Bangladesh earn about $40 a month while working 12- to 14-hour days. That is not a living wage in any country. Those insane wages have made Bangladesh one of the top three exporters of clothing, along with China and Vietnam, because clothing companies are beating down their doors.
There are about 4,000 garment factories in Bangladesh that earn $20 billion annually from overseas clothing sales, which amount to about 80 percent of its exports, reported the Boston Globe.
So American and European clothiers who are vying for my tightly held dollars while building massive profits for shareholders are doing so with near-slave labor.
I thought some tennis shoe companies and prominent designers had changed once those conditions were revealed to them. I thought things had changed for the people who were making the items I wear and use.
Saturday revealed that that just might not be true.
The factory that burned Saturday was owned by Tazreen Fashions Ltd., a subsidiary of Tuba Group, whose clients have included Wal-Mart and IKEA, according to its website.
ABC News said activists for Worker Rights Consortium, an American group working to improve conditions at foreign factories that make clothes for U.S. companies, said they found labels for Faded Glory, a Wal-Mart private label, along with labels for Sears and a clothing company owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs. The companies, however, have not verified that.
To its credit, Wal-Mart did notify Tazreen Fashions and its parent company that the factory had a high-risk safety rating after an audit in May 2011. An August 2011 letter warning owners of the rating stated that Wal-Mart would re-inspect in a year.
So why should we care? Why is that our problem?
Well, in 1911, 146 workers, mostly Jewish and Italian immigrants, the youngest of whom was 11, died in a garment factory fire in New York City. The Triangle Waist Co.'s owners had resisted calls to improve working conditions for its employees.
Shortly after the fire, New York passed numerous building, fire and safety codes that carried stiff penalties for anyone choosing to run a sweatshop. Soon the rest of the country followed.
So if it is important enough for Americans to be protected by safety rules, why not the mostly women and young people who work in Bangladesh?
And if Bangladesh doesn't comply with urges from U.S. companies to change, perhaps the companies could all agree to bring those jobs back to America, where Americans are better protected.
The companies could then explain to cheap folks like me that we will have to pay more for a garment in order to ensure that workers in other countries aren't risking their lives to scratch out a living in a sweatshop.
And board members could explain to their shareholders that profits should not come at the expense of human lives. Owners, too, could give up a few thousand square feet of living space or that nice boat to treat workers more humanely.
On Monday, 15,000 Bangladeshi workers protested blocks from the site of the fire, demanding justice for the victims and improved safety. About 200 factories were closed for the day because of protests near the capital, Dhaka.
We all should join them by checking labels carefully and demanding safety for all workers. Or we should insist that those jobs be brought back home to America, where they are needed anyway.
I can go a spell without new tennis shoes, shirts or jeans to get that point across.
Can't you?

Showing Brick, through example, what being an unflappable journalist is, Curry pressed on, "I counted… You used the word 'I' at least 60 times.

I'm currently looking at replacing my 5'5 Caution Trespass and am considering one of these Naish boards. This will be my go to board for 18 to 35mph plus winds. I have a board I ride for anything lighter than this. I weigh 170lbs. Typically, onshore knee to head high surf, choppy at times. I typically ride with straps, but will ride strapless from time to time. We don't have great waves that line up for days, so I am not parking the kite and really "surfing" the wave that much. Mainly like to do aggressive bottom turns, hit the section hard, then come at it again if any of the wave left.
Also need the board to get me back upwind good, as we have a decent current that typically runs with the wind. Been using the 5'5 Caution Trespass for over 4 years, and it works great...just busting out too many fin boxes on it, and I need to figure out something different.
I've read over a lot of the older posts comparing the two boards, and it seems like the main deciding factor is if you want to ride with straps, or without. But, I'll be doing both, so that makes it tough. I also want something I can't do aggressive bottom turns on, without sliding out. I'm leaning towards the Skater board, but don't know if that is the right call or not. Also, if I did go that route, is the 5'4 the right call, or is the 5'9 the call?
Sorry for all the questions, and know there is no perfect board for everything..... Just hoping someone has some recommendations off of riding these two.. and, can maybe direct me towards the better size....

A book co-edited by Dr. Anne Larsen of the Hope College French faculty is receiving two awards later this month.
The book, the "Encyclopedia of Women in the Renaissance: Italy, France, and England," is being honored by the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women as the best collaborative project published in 2007 and is receiving the 2008 "Roland Bainton Prize for Reference Works" from the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference. The awards will be presented during the two organizations' annual meetings, which are being held jointly on Thursday-Sunday, Oct. 23-26, in St. Louis, Mo.
It is the second consecutive year that Larsen has received recognition for a book from the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women. In the fall of 2007, she received the society's "Translation or Teaching Edition Award" for her book "From Mother and Daughter: Poems, Dialogues, and Letters of Les Dames des Roches."
The "Encyclopedia of Women in the Renaissance: Italy, France, and England" includes biographies and essays from some 103 contributors concerning the contributions of well-known and lesser-known Renaissance women from the three nations, and was published in April 2007 by ABC-CLIO of Santa Barbara, Calif.; Denver, Colo.; and Oxford, England. Larsen co-edited the volume with Diana Robin, who is a scholar in residence in Classical and Italian literature at Chicago's Newberry Library, and Professor Carole Levin, who is the Willa Cather Professor of History at the University of Nebraska.
The volume is the first comprehensive reference devoted exclusively to the contributions of women to the defining cultural movements in Europe in the period between 1350 and 1700. In addition to contributing two entries, Larsen edited some 50 of the volume's biographies and essays.
The Society for the Study of Early Modern Women includes scholars and teachers from all disciplines who study women and their contributions to the cultural, political, economic, or social spheres of the early modern period. It consists of an international network of scholars who meet annually, sponsor sessions at conferences, maintain a listserv and Web site, give awards for outstanding scholarship, and support one another's work in the field.
The Sixteenth Century Society and Conference is an international and interdisciplinary organization founded to promote research in the various aspects of early modern studies and to help disseminate the results of such research. In addition to the annual meeting, the organization's activities include publishing the quarterly "The Sixteenth Century Journal."
