text: The Arkansas Times observes 30 years in business this week and if things had gone according to plan, I wouldn't be here to write about it. I dropped out of grad school in 1973 and landed a reporting job at the Arkansas Gazette thanks to kind words from a Stanford professor, Bill Rivers, who knew the Gazette's city editor, Bill Shelton. I would have been happy to die at the Gazette, had the Gazette not died first. In September 1991, before the Gazette closed, but when its fate was becoming clear, I got a call from Alan Leveritt. He offered me a job at the Times, should I need one. Come mid-October, I did. Shortly after, I was working for the Arkansas Times magazine, but planning for conversion of the monthly to a weekly newspaper the following May. Alan wanted to fill some of the void left by the Gazette's passing. Twelve years later, we're still at it. I had first met Alan soon after arriving in Little Rock in 1973. A UALR student, he worked the "crap desk" (writing obits and news briefs) at the Gazette. He'd started an independent publication on campus, but he dreamed of creating an Arkansas magazine that raked muck, entertained and, importantly, revered all that was Arkansas. It seemed grandiose for Alan's modest station at the time, to tell the truth. But it also smacked appealingly of the then-hot "new journalism." I remember sitting around the Gazette city desk with Alan, reading aloud bits of Tom Wolfe's article on astronauts in Rolling Stone, a piece that would grow into "The Right Stuff." It was writing and it was real, even if it wasn't much like journalism as practiced by the daily newspaper of record. Alan got his little publication started and a funny thing happened. The Gazette wouldn't allow its crap desk man to work for a "competitor." Goodbye crap desk. Alan would drive cabs, frequent low dives, beg, plead, borrow, deliver papers and do just about anything else to keep his little publication alive. I risked my own job by writing an article for the Times under a pseudonym. It wasn't exactly investigative journalism. I ate at every barbecue joint in the Little Rock Yellow Pages and filed an in-depth report. Took the photos, too. Earned the handsome sum of $25 after dunning Alan for months. We're here today - along with a bevy of spin-off publications - in large measure because of Alan's survival skills and unparalleled salesmanship. But to appreciate him, you need to know that it was ideas and journalism that brought him here, not money. When he decided that his skills were better used in sales than writing, it didn't lessen his determination to make a difference with the content of his publication. That explains our staff - larger and more experienced than most alternative weeklies - and the unusual amount of space we devote to editorial content. I know first-hand Alan's fearlessness. Several of the state's biggest advertisers won't do business with us because they don't like what we write. It is the cost of speaking the truth. I've never known a publisher more willing to pay the price. Here's looking at you, Al. Happy 30th.

The Ulster Farmers' Union has backed plans for Northern Ireland to seek official BSE negligible risk (BSE NR) status.
In a response to a DAERA consultation the UFU said it had been pressing DARD, now DAERA, since December of last year to prioritise this application, seeing it as a way to dismantle costly BSE controls that are no longer proportionate to the risk.
UFU deputy president, Victor Chestnutt, said that while the current 'controlled risk' status opened many markets, the NR status would send 'a more positive image' of our animal health status to countries the local beef industry wants to access.
"BSE remains a concern for some of the priority trade targets such as China, USA, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines. Beef exporters believe that access to these markets could deliver over £12 million a year, some of which would find its way to producers," said Mr Chestnutt.
The UFU says that moving from Controlled to Negligible Risk status also opens the prospect of changing existing rules. It could pave the way to remove the stipulations that meat for some countries must come from cattle under 30 months of age.
A DAERA spokesperson said: "The Department is committed to continuing to work closely and co-operatively with industry representatives on this issue. A 12 week public consultation on the proposal to submit an application to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) for BSE NR status will close on 13 June 2016. Officials will consider responses to the consultation and will advise the Minister on the way forward in respect of an application for NR status for Northern Ireland. A decision on whether to apply for NR status cannot be made until all these processes have been completed.
"Officials are currently drafting a dossier and assessments specified by the OIE Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and by Regulation (EC) 999/2001 Annex II to be defined as a separate zone with BSE negligible risk status."

In my time since creating Comic Bastards, I have reviewed and read thousands of indie comics. I've had some form of contact with indie creators as well and while you wish them the best on their journey, well you don't always hear from them again. When you do, it's honestly a surprise. That said, I was surprised to hear from Mickey Lam. Not just because of the aforementioned bit of info, but also because my review of his work was less than sparkling. That brings us to Fwendly Fwuit which I won't deny is really difficult to type because my brain and fingers want to correct it. The story is for kids and so I'm not going to be too terribly hard on it because at its core its successful. We meet a wide variety of characters, some of them are fruit, some are alien looking, but all of them cutesy as hell. They go on an adventure to help one character find his friend that he lost on a dangerous planet. It's a kids story so all is well by the end.
That's really the only problem with the story, is that it didn't have a morale lesson and everything ended pretty easily for our main characters. Sure they faced adversity, but there's never really a sense of danger. Especially when you consider that the friend had time to round up a posse and head back to the area his friend was lost in and she managed to survive on the deadly planet the entire time. It's a simple story that basically just wants to introduce the characters and the world. It does that, but there's not much else to it.
The line work is simple, but clean. There's not a lot of detail to it and the coloring relies on fills and pattern overlays, but it works for the type of story it is. If you're bothered by the heavy use of photoshop, then you should pass on checking this out. And everything is cute. Did I mention that? I mean hurt your teeth cute, it's that damn sweet.
Depending on what Mickey Lam wants to do with the story I don't see much reason for me to continue checking the franchise out. This first book is a roadmap of what to expect, adventure, some danger, everything turns out well in the end. That might catch a few bright young eyes, but for a jaded comic reviewer like myself, I need a bit more to continue reading. For what it is and for what it's trying to accomplish it manages to do be successful.

Map My Waahi, My Place – virtual field trip
14 August 2017
More young people than ever before are taking an interest in the geospatial industry - a record 4000+ students recently took part in a LINZ-led virtual field trip.
This month students from more than 150 schools took a virtual trip online to the East Coast of the North Island, where they heard from geospatial experts, rangers and historians about how they are using location-based technology to support their work
"Map my Waahi was this year's theme – Waahi means a place of historic importance," says LINZ geospatial expert Duane Wilkins.
"Each student chose a place important to them and learned how to visualise information about it – stories of its history, GPS locations, and images – all on a 3D map."
Mr Wilkins took students through the process for making their maps.
"They were taught how to pull data from the LINZ Data Service and plug it into simple mapping tools, such as Google My Maps."
Students from two East Coast schools, Te Waha O Rerekohu Area School and Te Araroa and Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Kawawa Mai Tawhiti, Wharekahika (Hicks Bay), were on location taking part in field activities such as GPS data capture, mapping, and capturing 360 degree photospheres to include in Google Street View.
Map My Waahi was the first of three virtual field trips to be sponsored by the Ministry of Education, led by LINZ in partnership with the Department of Conservation and presented by Core Education.
"It was an opportunity for students to get a taste of geospatial technologies and how professionals use GIS every day."
Activities included;
- Tuesday - Surveying the oldest Pohutukawa tree in NZ at Te Araroa called "Te Waha o Rerekohu" to measure and document its growth, circumference and height, then mapping the results
- Wednesday - Capturing GPS data to visualise distributions and 360 Photospheres of the Pingao native sand dune plant, a plant of great cultural significance to East Coast iwi. Mapping results on Google Maps
- Thursday – Visiting remote Hungahungatoroa historical gunfighting pa – the last stand of the Pai Marire resistance who were captured, and the chiefs sent to the Chatham Islands. 'Street view' of Hungahungatoroa pa made during field trip.

You say you want to get involved at your child's school but the programs today are too numerous and complex to comprehend?
Relax. Help is on the way.
Broward school officials are opening up Plantation Middle School on Saturday to those who want to learn how to build more effective schools but don't know where to begin.
Workshops will be taught on a variety of topics, including school budgets, the boundary process, conflict mediation, gangs and violence, the family network, grants, alternative education and the changing roles of teachers.
The workshops begin at 9:30 a.m. and continue until 2:30 p.m. at the school, 6600 W. Sunrise Blvd. in Plantation. Each session is 30 to 60 minutes long.
Superintendent Sam Morgan will kick off the event with a "fireside chat" at 9:45 a.m. Saturday, giving parents an opportunity to ask the district's chief administrator about operations and the decision-making process.
"It was a huge success last year," school district spokesperson Merrie Meyers said. "For some parents, it was the first opportunity they had to see and talk to him."
Day care will be provided.

Mason and Daly General Merchants
33 Main St, Barkerville, BC
- Home
- Shopping
- Tourism, Travel & Lodging
- Complete and helpful customer service and experience
- An unusual blend of merchandise available and displayed in an historic and authentic manner
- An experience most unlike any other likely to be had anywhere
Meet William, Robert & Douglas Rummel
Brothers William, Robert and Douglas Rummel started Mason and Daly General Merchants along with C. Strouss and Company, located in the same building, in 1980. They later added A. McPherson WatchMaker and Jeweller. The store was modeled after the original Mason and Daly store that was located in Barkerville and operated by Joe Mason and John Daly. The Rummels are passionate about providing the store's guests with an authentic experience, just like they would have back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. This is evident in everything from the way the staff are dressed to the nostalgic and old fashioned goods in the store.
The Rummels love the history surrounding Barkerville, the Cariboo gold rush era and the business itself. Part of their work involves educating visitors about that history in a way that is fun and playful, and is the reason that they strive for authenticity in the experience that they provide. They know they've accomplished that when a visitor says "my parents brought me here to this store when I was a kid and so I am bringing my children now."
William, Robert and Douglas enjoy the solitude and quiet lifestyle that Wells affords. They also appreciate the fact that the people who live here are actively involved in each other's lives and in the goings-on of the town. "There is a real sense of community here," says William.
Unique. Creative. Evocative.
Shopping and history collide at Mason & Daly General Merchants takes Barkerville visitors back to an era when shopping was a social event. Guests are provided a unique customer experience unlike any you'll find today. From the products to the personalized service delivered by staff in Victorian period dress, Mason and Daly General Merchants offers customers a glimpse of what shopping might have been like 150 years ago. Watch your purchases get rung up on a hand crank till then wrapped with paper and string. There truly is no other experience quite like it. Mason and Daly General Merchants carries an eclectic selection of goods, many just like those that shoppers would have purchased during Barkerville's heyday, including men's and women's hats, old fashioned toys and games, hunting knives, gold nugget jewellery, candy and giftware.

Ian is an adorable little fella who is the son of some friends of ours. When they visited a while back, a few of his toys were left behind under our couch and I kept forgeting to give them to him when we saw them. So, I thought, "what little person wouldn't love to get mail addressed just to them?" So, I made this card to go with the package and sent it off. The dinosaur is a Sizzix die cut, then run through a Cuttlebug folder, and the sentiment is by Inkadinkadoo. And that's a teeny, tiny Hero Arts button used as an eye.
I hope Ian likes it.
Thanks for peeking!

Added: November 7th, 2017
Year 8 girls participated in the annual Sport Education Dance competition. Over the past 6 weeks the girls have been practising their specific group routine, which had been put together to form a routine to the song of their choice. The routine was choreographed by the girls and had to include specific criteria, from rolls to leaps to a group balance.
The girls performed this routine to a panel of judges, who narrowed it down to 3 finalists, resulting in one group each receiving either a bronze, silver or gold medal. All the girls who took part did a fantastic job at not only choreographing their routines but also performing them on the day to such a high standard.
Well done to everyone who took part!!

You've still got time to practice your best Michael moves and finally learn all the words to this epic Halloween ritual.
If you take a moment to read the lyrics without the music I think you will find they are actually pretty great words in their own right.
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
[2nd verse]
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl
But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside of killer, thriller tonight
Night creatures call and the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time
(they're open wide)
This is the end of your life
[3rd verse]
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah.
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen,
I'll make you see
That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller, thriller here tonight
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
[Rap performed by Vincent Price]
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize your neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grisly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

This teaching and learning activity illustrates how categories such as race are socially constructed. During the activity, students practice social construction.
"Race is indeed a pre-eminently socio-historical concept. Racial categories and the meaning of race are given concrete relations and historical context in which they are embedded. Racial meanings have varied tremendously over time and between different societies."1
After dividing the students into groups, I give each group a bag full of small items. The items are all smaller than a golf ball, and they can be just about anything: coins, paper clips, hair ties, business cards, you name it. Most of the bags have the same items, but there are a few differences. Each group of students is asked to sort the items into groups, label the groups, and give a definition of the group. For example, the categories look like the following:
I then have one or two members of each group of students serve as ambassadors. The ambassadors visit the other groups of students to learn how they have categorized their items. The ambassadors then return to their own group to report on their findings.
The following pictures show the ambassadors going group to group, learning how the other groups have sorted their items.
Finally, we discuss how the social construction of race is also a process of placing people into groups, giving the groups a label, and giving meaning to those groups.
This teaching and learning activity addresses SLO1: Thinking and Reasoning, SLO2: Communication, SLO3: Diversity, SLO4: Collaboration, and SLO6: Specialized Discipline.

According to Publishers Lunch, John Eisler's next John Rain Novel will be published by Amazon's new mystery / thriller imprint Thomas Mercer. Originally, during an interview Mr Eisler indicated that he was going to self-published his new novel THE DETACHMENT.
The article states: "Amazon is paying Eisler an advance, one "that was comparable to what St Martin's was offering in the deal.... Eisler (who is trained as an attorney) said 'I've never seen a better publishing agreement than what Amazon presented me. It's readable, it's understandable, and it's transparent.'"

This guy was so annoying to make. Broke on me. Twice. Had to rebuild. Then I had two black pieces extra at the end. If you can figure out where they're missing from, be my guest, I tried for a good 10 minutes. Perhaps they were just on the floor next to it at the time. Who knows.
Anyway, sorry about not updating last week, I was a bit busy. This is all for this week and I'm slowly workin' my way through the Pokemon. I don't know what I'll do next. I have a bunch of sprites on a list, but I haven't decided what series to work on a lot of next yet. Maybe I should do every single sprite in SMB2, I've pretty much done that already. : P

Hmm. It doesn't explicitly mention 3Mbaud, but it does mention 2Mbaud, which is higher than the datasheet claims.
I guess I'll just have to try it.

The teams have been finalized for the 2018 Tim Horton's Brier.
In three weeks, some of the best curlers in the country will descend upon Regina for a chance at Brier glory.
New to this year's Brier is the much-debated format debuted last at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
The new format will see 16 teams vie for the championship — up from 15 last year — split into two pools with a championship round of play ahead of the page playoffs.
Brad Gushue will look to defend his title when the opening draw takes place March 3 at the Brandt Centre at Evraz Place.
Joining Gushue's Team Canada rink in Pool A are: Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Yukon, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Alberta and the Wild Card qualifier.
The first-ever wild card game to determine the final place in the tournament takes place the night before the official start of the Brier.
The game will feature a pair of Winnipeg rinks skipped by Mike McEwen and Jason Gunnlaugson. Each earned their spot in the qualifier by being one of the two best-ranked teams in the Canadian Team Ranking System not to win provincial or territorial playdowns.
Team Saskatchewan will be skipped by Steve Laycock, his fifth time skipping a Saskatchewan rink and sixth appearance at the Brier.
Joining Team Saskatchewan in Pool B are: Manitoba, Northern Ontario, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nunavut.
The pools were finalized Sunday after Northern Ontario's Brad Jacob won his fourth-straight Northern Ontario provincial championship.
After round robin play, the top four teams from each pool advance to a championship pool to determine the final four playoff teams.
The 2018 Tim Horton's Brier at the Brandt Centre at Evraz Place wraps up on March 11. Tickets are still available.

JobFly was inspired by Nestio, which now operates as a real estate listing tool for brokers. Nestio started as an apartment search organizer, allowing users to easily grab data from apartment listings and put them into a GUI that allowed users to keep notes on listings they were interested in.
JobFly takes this basic concept and applies it to the use case of job searches with the goal of saving users some hassles while looking for work, and helping them get to their next job faster. Currently, JobFly only uses the Indeed API, but with your support, it can expand to integrate as many of the major job listings sites as users desire.
JobFly is the result of a General Assembly Back-End Web Development final project. The project author, Lei Zhao, graduated from Oberlin College with a degree in Philosophy and East Asian Studies. Lei has previously worked in the nonprofit sector, taking on various roles from development to community outreach management. In 2013, Lei embarked upon an adventure of self-discovery and education in the field of web design and development, and now works as a freelance web designer specializing in customized implementations of WordPress.

What are the specific steps I need to take to change the URL on each form within Jotform?
- thiagobakoAnswered on February 15, 2012 at 11:59 AM
Just change this on your own file. For example, your JotForm code are in index.html, open the file and change the embed/iframe /... jotform.com to jotform.net
Hope this helps!
- JotForm SupportmlizAnswered on February 15, 2012 at 12:00 PM
If you login to jotform using http://jotformpro.com and save the form the new embed and action url will use jotformpro.com but this does not automatically update the codes that you have already added in your website. You will need to manually edit the embed code of the websites where the form were added and change it to jotformpro.com .
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Make Economy Better, Distribute Wealth Among All Nigerians – Falana tells FG
He said such is key to finding a lasting solution to the myriads of problems facing the country.
Falana, who said the ongoing debate about restructuring in the country centred on devolution of powers without responsibilities and dire need to satisfy ethnic groups, maintained that the bottomline of restructuring, which the agitators had failed to address, was the economy.
He spoke on the theme 'The Nation Nigeria: Restructuring, Secession or Status Quo - the Way Forward' at the Obafemi Adewale Colloquium and Law Dinner to mark Adewale's 60th birthday.
He said the type of restructuring Nigeria needed was economic restructuring.
"For us as lawyers, we must save our society. If we are going to join the struggle for restructuring, we should not join as politicians seeking transfer of power to the regions. Let it be for reduction of power at the centre, transfer of power to the states. Let us seek reduction of cost of governance. Let us seek right to education. Let us seek right to equitable distribution of wealth. Let us seek the need to fight the lopsided appointments in the country. Let us talk about economic restructuring.
"The bottom line of restructuring is economy. Majority of our people are poor and they are battling with survival. If you want more powers from Abuja, it is not relevant to them. Restructuring that has to do with job-creation for the youths. The resources of this country are enormous to accommodate the demands of the youths, women have to be factored into restructuring, the unemployed people, the masses, the peasant farmers, the workers. Nobody is talking about them.
"The economy of this country must be restructured. Restructuring is not about satisfying ethnic groups, it is about addressing the national question. When we address the national question, we are trying to find out who gets what and how. We have almost the worst income disparity in the world where a few people are dangerously rich while a vast majority are wallowing in poverty. It cannot continue," Falana said.
He advised that the country's marginal oil fields should be shared with a view to redistribute wealth instead of being sold, querying: "Why are we selling the oil fields to individuals when the states are suffering? Why don't we sell or lease them to the states so that they can make money to run the business of governance?"

"Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it." ― Mary Oliver
No, really. As in Sanctuary Resort and Spa at Camelback. Just landed late this morning for a weekend with some girlfriends and it is ahhh-mazing. Seventy-plus degrees and sunny. Wish I could bottle it up. A gorgeous hide-out from the unending brutality of our winter back home.
Spent the day at the pool soaking up the vitamin D, spicy mandarin cocktail (just the right balance of sweet and spicy), and enjoying my ahi tuna salad with a side of roasted shishito peppers.
Wonderful pool service, fresh and tasty food, and a picture-perfect backdrop. Off to dinner at the renowned elements restaurant now, and tomorrow we'll be trying out that spa! Can hardly wait.

SINGAPORE – National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan has said in a blog post that the transformation of the real estate industry has only just begun.
He said what used to be regarded as a "cowboy" industry is now characterised by a more systematic and professional process of proper registration and licensing of property agents by the Council of Estate Agencies (CEA), adding that of the more than 100,000 property transactions each year, complaints made up 1 per cent of the cases.
He also said the findings showed that the regulatory body, that just turned two recently, has not fared too badly, and that the real estate industry is a dynamic one and that agents will need to embrace continuous learning to stay relevant and bring value to their clients.
Mr Khaw was commenting on the Public Perception Survey released by the CEA. CHANNEL NEWSASIA

Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage from Gamepires is a racing game that combines racing with mass destruction. Cars in the game can be upgraded with weapons, and anything goes on the race track. While Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage doesn't bring anything new to the racing genre, it is a solid game.
Graphics and sound
The graphics in Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage are stunning. Environments are rich and detailed. There are particle and bloom effects to give a more realistic feel to the visuals.
The music in the game can vary from whimsical soul music to fast-paced rock and metal. The sounds of the cars are very engaging and give the vehicles a sense of weight. Weapons also give off a weighty sound that makes using them satisfying!
Gamepires has done a good job of making the gameplay of Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage fun and engaging. In single player mode, you make your way up the leaderboards by racing and upgrading your vehicles. There are three main single player game modes: race, weapons, and knockout.
The most fun and interesting of the modes is knockout. You race and use your weapons at the same time, but the last person after every lap is eliminated by being blown up into a million pieces. Stay ahead of your opponents until the very end to stay alive.
There are a ton of unlockable customization and upgrade options for your vehicles. Spend your money on customizing the look of your vehicle, buying weapons, or upgrading your car.
Driving dynamics in Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage are acceptable, but could be more accurate. There's really no need to brake in this game with its arcade-style handling. It's easy to crash the car as the enemy AI is very aggressive, but it makes winning all the more rewarding.
If you're bored of the single player campaign in Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage, you can jump on a server with strangers or your friends. The same gameplay in the single player campaign can be found in the multiplayer mode.
Performance in multiplayer mode was a bit stuttery but it could have been our connection. Make sure to have a quick connection and low latency when playing in multiplayer mode.
Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage is a solid racing game that delivers fun racing and satisfying car weaponry. Gameplay can become repetitive after a while because it is difficult to gain enough money to make substantial upgrades to your car. Still, fans of games like Motor Storm and Twisted Metal will find Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage a satisfying game.Pros
- Soild gameplay with tons of unlockables
- Very good multiplayer mode
- Beautiful graphics
- Game play can get repetitive
- Multiplayer a bit unbalanced

Results and Output
Expected results (outputs and quantified achievements):
Quantified achievements
In view of the set objectives, the project is expected to achieve the following results:
- 1°, demonstration that the proposed planting techniques allow to cultivate trees in dry climates, on poor dry soil and on rocks, in response to desertification phenomena due to climate change. This result is considered to be achieved, if 90 % of the in April planted species survives and grows well 3-4 years after planting and if this success rate is achieved for at least 75 % of the used species.
- 2°, demonstration that the techniques, by using a biopolymer Twinboxx, permit Hedera to cover a fence for 90 % of the actual level for much lower costs.
- 3°, sufficient data produced to show with statistical relevance the specific success rates for the various application modes, species and soil types, allowing to draw up conclusions for different application sectors, within agriculture, reforestation and restoration of eco-systems and biodiversity.
- 4°, demonstration that costs of large scale cultivation of trees with the Twinboxx are highly competitive with alternatives actually used in agriculture, like buying new land or large irrigation efforts, allowing to stop the abandonment of impoverished agriculture soil and the unsustainable use of water and energy.
- 5°, demonstration that costs of cultivation of trees with the Twinboxx is financially feasible in the framework of reforestation and bio-diversity restoration programmes, allowing for much higher return on investments and permitting operations in areas nowadays considered hardly realisable, like mountainous areas and rocky soils.
- 6°, demonstration that the low costs of planting Hedera with the biopolymer Twinboxx, compared to the necessary investments in irrigation otherwise required, makes it economically feasible to introduce Hedera fences alongside highways in Mediterranean countries
- 7°, demonstration that planting with the Twinboxx in July leads to such results in terms of survival, that year round planting can be considered an economically interesting option for cultivators. At least an 80 % survival rate should hereto be achieved.
- 8°, demonstration that the capillary drill permits to realise the necessary holes on dry and rocky soils, producing good results, without damaging the capillary system, and requesting few and light manpower efforts. This is proven if the survival rate of trees on these grounds achieves 80 % and costs of manpower for the planting activities does not exceed the costs of planting in the other, non-rocky, areas.
Main Outputs
- report on the selection and characterisation of species; yearly test reports; final technical evaluation report; conclusions report; layman's report
- 5 inauguration events; 2 international seminars and 1 conference, with visits to the test locations; local awareness campaigns involving local citizens, schools and local farming and environmental groups; 1 documentary broadcasted; 25 articles in newspapers and specialized websites; 3 articles in scientific magazines; 3 presentations to other international events; dissemination to key experts in the sector and to European research institutes and governmental organisations; project website; leaflets and brochures.

The Queens Chamber Of Commerce's Holds Annual Building Awards & Gala
That speaker was Michael Stoller, managing director of Madison Realty Capital and host of programs running on CUNY-TV and other university, community and public access stations in four states. He said the magazine, The Real Deal selected the 10 best recent building projects in the city and Queens had four of them; not bad with Manhattan and Brooklyn as competition. He recalled talking on the radio years ago to executives from Rockrose about building in Queens and found them less than excited, though they soon got religion in Long Island City. He said the façade and the ground floor of the RKO Keith in Flushing, the old movie palace on Northern Boulevard where it meets Main Street, is being incorporated into an apartment complex that will include a beer garden and, yes, a movie theatre.
The public buildings, multiple-unit dwellings and restaurants that won Queens Chamber awards begins with the New Construction, Industrial category, where the winner is Steinway Park, the attached warehouses running from 18-22 to 18-42 42nd St. in Astoria. They are said to provide much-needed warehouse space. The owner is The L Group, architect is Gerard L. Caliendo and the builders are Sal Lucchese and Philip Loria. The New Construction, Commercial award went to 209 Northern Property, a two-story commercial building at 209-35 Northern Blvd., Bayside. The owner is Justin Kang, the architect Kyu Lee Architect PC and the builder NY Construction Work, Inc., Hyuk Keun Hwang.
Resorts World Casino, which looks over Aqueduct Race Track in South Ozone Park, is the winner of the Rehab, Public Buildings award, presented in praise of the Baccarat Club, a high-stakes part of the casino, built in an area that used to be a Chinese restaurant. "The goal," Resorts publicity states, "was to create a Shanghai-chic casino within the larger casino." Present at the Baccarat is a Chinese-speaking "ambassador" to cater to high-rolling members. The owner is Resorts World Casino New York City, the architect is Architects Rule PC and the builder is D'Amato Builders and Advisors LLC, whose project director, Nick D'Amato, said that his company "really focused heavily on feng shui, trying to create luck for the patron, whether it's passing the water feature as you enter or the acrylic lights that wish them luck as they enter."
The New Construction, Multi-Family High Rise, Four or More Stories award went to the four-story Courtyard Gardens Condominium, 85-15 120th St., Kew Gardens. Most of the apartments in the building face an interior courtyard; and a fountain and benches, bicycle rack storage and radiant heated floors in all corridors are additional amenities. The owner is Fabian Organization 11 LLC, the architect is T.F. Cusanelli & Filletti Architects PC and the builder is Fabian Construction Co. Inc.
The Rehab, Multi-Family High Rise, Four or More Stories award went to Pomonok Houses in Fresh Meadows. Installation of energy-efficient window glass on the northern section of these public houses was cited as meritorious. Crystal Window & Door of Flushing made nearly 11,000 windows of unusually thick glass that would be difficult to break. To recapture the thermal efficiency lost with thicker panes, Crystal doubled the applications of low-e coating to the window glass. Aluminum window sill covers further blocked cold air from entering apartments. The owner is New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Housing, the architect is HAKS Engineers and the builder is APS Contracting Co. "You could see the city wanted something better for the people, something that's going to give longevity of service, look good and perform well," said Vincent Greico of Crystal. "I was quite impressed."
The Rehab, Mixed Use, Residential/Commercial/Industrial award went to Dinerbar Diner, 47-49 Queens Boulevard, which was converted from what was considered a dated solarium structure to a more contemporary streetscape. The owner is the Lefrak Organization, the architect is Gerard J. Caliendo and the builder is Deraffoca Corp. Caliendo is also the architect of the Bet-El Congregation Sephardic Center, 180-01 Union Turnpike, winner of the Rehab, Religious Building award. The center's old home had become too small for the congregation, so a member purchased property on Union Turnpike and transformed the old place into a 300-seat shul. Caliendo's use of Jerusalem stone and limestone is said to give the shul an Israeli look. The owner is Avi Dishi, who bought the property, and the builder is Impact Builders Corp.
Hoyt Plaza, an 11-story, 34-unit, market-rate high rise at 27-18 Hoyt Ave. South, the Triboro Bridge nearby, was the winner of the New Construction, Mixed Use, Residential/Commercial/Industrial award. The building stands back from a plaza, created to accommodate access to firefighters, and contains a 5,000 square foot community facility that gives it mixed-use status. The owner is Hoyt Plaza Development LLC-Vito Giannola, the architect is T.F Cusanelli & Filletti Architects PC and the builder is Apogee Construction.
Anyone traveling near Willets Point has no trouble seeing the new roof on Arthur Ashe Stadium. It allows tennis matches to be played with no worries about rainfall, yet it can be opened for play in the bright sunshine too. Four winches of 600 horsepower can open or close the roof in about seven minutes. It is the winner of the Rehab, Commercial award. The owner is the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and the architect is Matthew L. Rossetti. The Interior, Commercial award goes to Nippon Cha Restaurant, 39-34 Bell Blvd. in Bayside, a former pizzeria converted to a Japanese restaurant. The conversion entailed raising the ceiling five feet to its current 13 feet. Ceramic tile floors and wooden appointments give Nippon Cha the proper Japanese look. The owner is Changqi Li, the architect is HCD Architect PC and the builder is Linden Group Construction.
The last two awards are for New Construction, Industrial/Sustainable and Rehab, Industrial/Sustainable and go to two installations in JFK Airport Park. The first is Idlewild Logistics Center, owned by Idlewild 228th Street LLC. It has built a retention tank, nearly 36,000 cubic feet in size and situated below grade, and a two-block-long dedicated storm sewer, to help protect Jamaica Bay. The center has received an Environmental Protection Administration Energy Star score of 93, said to be the highest ever awarded to such an installation. The second is the JFK Logistics Center & JFK Verizon Facility, which has a 729-kilowatt solar system on the roofs of its two buildings. By arrangement with Con Edison and Bloomberg LP, remote net metering is used on the buildings, allowing electricity generated to be distributed among many utility accounts. The buildings received Energy Star scores of 91 and 92, said also to be record scores for such industrial buildings.Both Idlewild and JFK Logistics had John Schimenti PC as architect and BAR Construction Corp. as builder. BAR Construction Vice President Anthony Coen called JFK Logistics "environmentally friendly and very efficient on the footprint."

It can be hard for the optimistically inclined among us to hear, but optimistic reactions, ones that people who are grieving might consider irrationally optimistic, can be even tougher to bear than pessimistic reactions. For people in crisis, ill-timed optimism just feels like a meaningless empty platitude, especially for a situation that really might not get better.

One of the worst things about being human is that other humans sometimes have the tendency to see you as the human who used to do that one thing a few years back, rather than seeing you as the human that is doing this thing now. Time does funny things to our perception, and there's an apt analogy somewhere about how a mosquito trapped in amber has allowed scientists to clone a behemoth from the past, Greg Ginn circa 1983, but instead of being Greg Ginn circa 1983 it's just Greg Ginn in 2014 and the Black Flag reunion shows are hella disappointing. Basically, whenever you write about a band whose members were in other beloved bands, the risk is run of their old bands becoming elephants in the room. You can try write around these pedigreed pachyderms, accidentally drawing even more attention to what you're specifically not mentioning--or, you place an undue amount of emphasis on past projects, thereby trivializing the new exciting thing that these folks are doing currently. Decisions, decisions.
Mass FM is a new band, but their members have all played in beloved Missoula bands off and on since the Clinton administration. Isn't that cool that some folks that used to do awesome stuff are still doing awesome stuff? Yes, some members were in Volumen, one was in Victory Smokes--but do you wanna know what I think is really interesting? They have two members named Chris and are a great band (despite the fact that I was once in a band that had two members named Chris and we imploded due to all of the internal confusion). It's not that their old bands--or other current bands--aren't great, but this blog is about Mass FM, so let's talk about Mass FM (now that I have every possibly non-sequitur out of the way).
Tricky is kind of a weird word, but Mass FM is a band with some tricky qualities. Jamming somewhere between The Cars at their most angular and--I don't know--Fugazi at their most Cars-like (?), the songwriting is slippery and clever without drawing attention to itself by winking at the listener. There are twists and turns in the tunes that aren't so much unexpected as these twists and turns don't distract the listener from the groove or melody. Good, hook-heavy, head-bobbing music, hence the appropriate "FM" in the band name (if the average FM station was populated by bands like Brainiac, 12 Rods and Servotron). Bad comparison, but if you've ever had a stoner musician buddy chew your ear off about how Pink Floyd's "Money" is in 7/8--like it's some illuminati conspiracy that no one knows about--I could similarly chew your eyes out by over explaining all of the really cool little rhythmic hiccups in Mass FM's "Pull Some Strings." I'm not going to do this, but I will suggest you listen to the song posted below and get ready to see them at Total Fest XIII.

Honesty and Trust
First, the photo is a map I used for the book festival. Yamamoto Shoten(山本書店)is the leftmost bookstore that I circled in red. Can you see? That's where I purchased Rojin's books.
I translated the following excerpt from "Midsummer Tales" by Rojin or Lu Xun.
I became interested in him and his work when I read a complaint by a Japanese linguist who translated Yusen-kutu (Taverns of Disporting Fairies). Yusen-kutu is from the Tang period of China. I don't remember the name of the linguist/translator, so I refer him as he. He wrote a few negative sentences about Lu Xun. It was something like this: "Lu Xun knew the fact Yusen-kutu was discovered by Japanese and studied extensively over many centuries, but Lu Xun wrote and published the opposite."
I wondered what went through Lu Xun's head when he had to write that. Chinese government then was corrupt. Chinese in China were oppressed by the Japanese military. He struggled between two countries and for his people's freedom. Lu Xun spoke and wrote Japanese. He studied in Japan for eight years. What went through his mind? I want to know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu_Xun
Below, Lu Xun wrote it toward the end of his life in Shanghai. I'm not crying, but I wish I can.
A "B, we trusted you. You seemed a fine person, so we let you in on the
revolution. Why did you squeal to the enemy?"
B "No way! Squeal! I only told them because they asked."
A "Couldn't you just keep saying you don't know?"
B "No, no! I've never told a lie since I was born. I'm not such an
untrustworthy person."
A "Oh, hello, Mr. B. It's been three years. You were probably very
disappointed in me, weren't you?"
B "No, not really. Why?"
A "I told you then. I was going to the West Lake and write 20,000 long
poems. I haven't written a word up to now. Ha ha ha!
B "Well…..but I'm not a bit disappointed."
A "You've gotten better at spoken words, haven't you? You remember things
well, you've known to blame others quite severely, and you're not the kind
of person who can reply with wishy-washy words. Everyone knows it. Are
you able to lie now?"
B "No, I'd never lie."
A "Then, you're not disappointed in me, right?"
B "No. There is nothing to be disappointed. After all, I've never trusted
you in the first place."

So - Lu Xun and Rojin are one and the same. Did you get the full set of volumes in the end, when you bought 60 books when they were closing?
Looking at the photos of Lu Xun on Wikipedia, I have to say (as a Westerner) that I find his oriental face typically inscrutable, as if it were a mask hiding his feelings. But I think the same could be said of me. And when I look again at the photo of him as an adult, he seems to be full of compassion and concern.
Your translation is very good idiomatic English.

Hi Vincent,
It's funny about the photo. I had a similar thought looking at the photo in my book which was taken a year before he died. I hope to show you that. It shows his sorrow and struggles. More I read, more connected I feel to the writer and the culture.
About the rest of the volumes, no, I couldn't find them on Nov. 3rd. But I'm thinking of going back to the bookstore and search again. I didn't have much time, so I maybe missed it.
In the book I read, the editor says his novels are not well developed except a few. I read a few, so I can understand why some critics would say that. But the stories are very rich in Chinese culture and the era he lived. They are very lively. Everything I read so far satisfied my thirst of knowing more about Chinese culture and a Chinese writer.

Keiko, this is very new territory for me. I'm glad to be able to learn about a new world from your blog. I can see how it will become clearer to me as I read your blogs about the more to it-ness of Japanese Literature.
The excerpt you translated really makes me think about when it's appropriate to "lie" if its for the better. On a personal level, I have grappled with this. I don't like to lie, but sometimes, it is necessary if what you are up against would not be able to take the truth or if one needs to protect their own. And I don't mean with trivial matters. Honesty and Trust. As I write those words, they look foreign to me as words. They seem one and the same, yet, not. You've given me much to think about, Keiko, in the context of your blog, personally, and in the world.

Lu Xun wrote the above conversation close to his death after many years of his literary and political struggles between China and Japan. He was the most tired person when he wrote this. You can see his sorrow and suffering from his face. As you can imagine, I'm sure he meant no moral lesson to anyone because he found none. The conversation was meant to be a caricature.
He went to Japan before Russo Japanese War to study medicine, but he switched to writing career probably because medicine career was too tame to change his country. China was no longer like old shining Tang dynasty or Hun Dynasty. It was the most demoralizing time. It was very very tough for young Chinese wanting to rebuild own county while they had no control over western and Japanese military powers. He was going through many compromising situations with Japanese and also Chinese authorities. He left many letters which I was reading. He was polite to the Japanese who cared for him. Reading them, I feel his pain. How confusing and demoralizing for him to live in such turmoil.

Hi I'm Patricia
I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am a Mom, a Grandmother, and a GREAT Grandmother. I have lived in California almost all of my life. My husband and I lived in Texas for 9 years - Waco area and Austin Area Pflugerville. I was raised in San Francisco, and later moved to the Peninsula. I like to write poetry coordinate/participate in special programs. For several years, I was chairman for our local community Créche Festival, and also presented the Visual Arts presentation in conjunction with a community "Messiah" production. I was recently released from a 2-year Church-service mission. I am married to Paul, and currently reside in the Central Valley of California.
Why I am a Mormon
After investigating the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I recognized the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon by the power of the Holy Ghost. I chose to be baptized and follow the example of our Savior. I know God lives and that His Only Begotton Son, Jesus Christ, is indeed the Promised Messiah, the Savior of the world.
How I live my faith
My faith defines who I am. It uplifts me, motivates me, helps me to grow and progress in in my life. I love my Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ. And, I try daily to live the commandments so that I may one day return to live with them. I was recently released from a 2-year Church-service mission. My new calling is to teach Gospel Essentials, a class for new members or those that are investigating our church.

VCSO To Donate Computers To Daytona's Campbell Middle School Students
Daytona Beach, FL – Volusia County Sheriff's Office (VCSO) will be donating 25 retired VCSO desktop computers and 22 laptops to the students at Campbell Middle School in Daytona Beach in order to improve the students' education.
Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood and his staff will be delivering the 25 desktop computers and monitors to Campbell Middle School, located at 625 Keech St., on Tuesday at 2 PM. The 22 laptops will be delivered to the school once a replacement shipment becomes available for the Sheriff's office in the coming weeks, according to VCSO.
"It's just a matter of phasing out old equipment and bringing in the new stuff that we were getting anyway," says Andrew Gant, Public Information Officer for VCSO. "The old stuff is being phased out for us but still should be useful, we hope, to the students who need them."
The middle school had received a D grade from the Florida Department of Education for several years in the past, but the school recently brought that grade up to a C. The goal is to bring the school's grade up to an A.
"We can put this equipment to good use, give it a second life in a classroom and provide kids at Campbell one more tool to succeed," Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood explains. "I think this is a win for everyone, most importantly the students who need and deserve all the support we can give them."
The idea to donate the computers came from Bob Davis, CEO and President of the Lodging & Hospitality Association of Volusia County. Davis's association has "adopted" more than 30 Volusia schools in an effort to provide students with equipment and other support. Davis met with Campbell Middle School administration to discuss what the school needed last fall and then put a call out for donations. VCSO responded to the request for the donation, and the donation to Campbell Middle was approved by the Volusia County Council last week.
"The need is great, and we have to support our school system," says Davis. "These young people should be able to go from a C to an A, and it makes us very proud that these kids want to attempt to better themselves with our help in the community."
You can find more information on supporting schools through the Lodging & Hospitality Association of Volusia County by contacting Bob Davis at email@example.com or 386-257-6828.

Decline of the PresidencyAuthor: Gary Hart
For many years it was common, at least for boys then, to hear that "in America, anyone can become President." We now know that to be absolutely true.
For those of us who take such matters seriously, however, there was some preparation required. A serious candidate for President had to know something about how the national economy worked and the basic principles of public finance, diplomacy and foreign policy, and national defense, the three Constitutional duties of a President.
In modern times, from Franklin Roosevelt through Richard Nixon Presidents met those standards to greater or lesser degrees. Private morality was assumed. But when that assumption failed with Nixon, we then elected a moral President, Jimmy Carter, but even he had traveled the world a bit, served in the Navy, and had been Governor.
But then the standards began to slip. Though they had been Governors, Reagan and George W. Bush had little familiarity with the world, intellectual curiosity, or sense of history. Presidents Clinton and Obama qualified intellectually and enjoyed the company of those who had experience and lessons to provide. But neither had traveled widely and met foreign leaders or had taken the time to study and think about defense and national security issues.
If a presidential candidate seems bright enough and curious enough, voters are willing to hope they can learn on the job what they need to know to govern, and in the case of those who don't seem interested in books and learning the assumption is that they will surround themselves with smart people. The fallacy of this assumption is that some smart people also have their own biases and ideological fish to fry.
As we drifted away from the standards set out above and were lowering the bar for pre-qualification for the highest office, it was virtually inevitable that one set of circumstances or another would lead us to elect an almost totally unqualified President. And so we have.
The incumbent President demonstrates almost no intellectual curiosity, disdains briefings of any kind, boasts that he is smarter on virtually any topic than qualified experts, and with only one or two exceptions surrounds himself with those who know little about their assigned duties or whose sole aim is to abolish the governmental structures established to carry out established statutory mandates in their assigned departments of responsibility.
If we are willing to accept these absolutely minimal standards, then indeed anyone can be President. Just don't expect much in the way of wisdom, a sense of history and its lessons, experience in diplomacy (and the inevitable gaffes and embarrassments that lack will produce), calculation in the use of military force, balancing of public revenues with expenditures, or even an understanding of the legislative process.
Many of us in office and beyond have heard repeated pleas from business people: "Why can't we run the government like a business?", to which the obvious response is, "Because it isn't a business." Even so, what business would select a CEO who had little or no experience in that business and didn't seem to mind or want to learn?
The brightest hope, presuming we survive our present experience with a totally unqualified President, is that our society will once again revert to more traditional standards of qualification for the highest office—basic knowledge of the economy, experience in diplomacy, and some knowledge of military history.
Admittedly, this narrows the field of presidential candidates substantially. But so does any list of job qualifications. Why should any leadership position in the private sector come with a list of qualifications and the highest public office in the land have none?
My lifelong study of American history suggests that this nation is strong enough to survive our current soap opera psychodrama and emerge relatively stable on the other side. But even the worst experiences in life hold lessons to be learned, and this current national experience should teach us to take the Presidency more seriously and insist on a much higher standard of leadership
