9 held in TN for trying to disrupt Tamil meet
Nine persons who had allegedly tried to "disrupt" the ongoing World classical Tamil conference have been arrested from different parts of the state, police said here Friday.india Updated: Jun 25, 2010 20:05 IST
Nine persons who had allegedly tried to "disrupt" the ongoing World classical Tamil conference have been arrested from different parts of the state, police said here Friday.
Addressing a press conference on the sidelines of the conference, DGP Letika Saran said the arrested were not Naxals, but from groups who had tried to disrupt the conference by distributing pamphlets to oppose the conference. Four persons were arrested from Coimbatore and the rest from across Tamil Nadu Thursday night.
"They tried to distribute pamphlets with contents that could hurt sentiments, leading to inciting of violence," she said without divulging the nature of its contents. She said two lakh visitors had come to Coimbatore besides four to six lakh in the city and its nearby areas.
ADGP (Law and order) K Radhakrishnan said police had the duty to "protect" the arrested too as "they could have been lynched by an angry crowd." Saran denied any 'breach' of security during the June 23 inauguration by President Pratibha Patil, with people trying to move towards the dais and said adequate security was deployed near the stage and sterile areas.
The senior police officials said they had placed "almost a policeman to every other civilian to prevent any untoward incident." To a query on the June 12 railway track blast case near Villupuram, Saran denied reports that investigators were clueless and said they had to confirm information on accused before securing them.

text: I was contemplating selling off a few bags. But my main concern is how much to sell them for. When you guys decide to sell off some of your collection how do you go about deciding how much to sell them for? Do you deduct off of the original price? What if it is a discontinued piece - is the bag then worth more? How much of a loss are you willing to accept on your bags? Sorry for all the questions but this has been driving me nuts . So much so that I even had a dream about posting this thread the other night (you know you are addicted to the PF when....). Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Edited to say : sorry about the misspelling. The thread title should say "How do you decide how much to sell your bags for?"

A woman is suing Usher for allegedly exposing her to genital herpes, however, Usher denies having slept with her, saying she's not his type.
The lawsuit was brought forward by Quantasia Sharpton who says she came into contact with the famous singer after one of his concerts. She was celebrating her 19th birthday, birthday, crown and all when one of Usher's security guards asked her if she wanted to go on stage. Then she says that she provided Usher her number, and after the concert, he came to her hotel room and the two had sex.
That's where it would have ended if not for reports surfacing last month that Usher allegedly has been diagnosed with the Herpes Simplex 2 virus - the virus that causes genital herpes. Sharpton claims she would never have slept with Usher had he disclosed his medical status prior.
Usher hasn't denied the fact that he has herpes, however, sources speaking with TMZ, he denies ever sleeping with Sharpton. He admits, according to sources, that he may have invited Sharpton up on stage as the singer "looks to bring a diverse group of people up onstage, not just supermodels," but that she isn't his type when it comes to after-hours antics.
RELATED: USHER SUED BY MULTIPLE WOMEN AND ONE MAN FOR SPREADING STDs
Another source adds that it's an "esteem booster" to single out women that don't fit the media's mold for beauty.
The lawsuit was announced Monday morning at a press conference. Celebrity lawyer Lisa Bloom is representing Sharpton, and they are seeking unspecified damages.
Since the press conference, Usher fans have been quick to point out a questionable Facebook post on Sharpton's timeline that reads, "I need some money," followed by several sad emojis. Bloom came to her client's defense stating, "It's not a crime to be poor in America." She also points out the suit is not seeking a specific amount in damages, and only what the jury deems fair.
Bloom also says that Sharpton has been repeatedly fat-shamed online since Monday.
Since news broke of Usher's alleged infection, several others have come forward with similar lawsuits, saying the singer slept with and possibly infected them and did not disclose his medical condition before engaging in congress. So far, three other individuals, two women, and one man are pressing charges but have not come forward publicly as Sharpton has.

If you could have any super power, what would it be
If I had a super power, I would probably want to have psychic powers. Probably saves me a whole load of time guessing!
Aside from Soulstice, what do you do with your life?
I would like to believe that I will be able to contribute to society by the time I am done studying.
What are your major influences/sources of inspiration?
Eccentric as it sounds, my source of inspiration normally comes from the environment that I am in. I always believe in moving around to experience new vibes, sounds, culture, etc. Also, I am huge reality tv junkie, so shows like The Voice or X factor kind of inspires me as well.
What is your musical background and how long have you been singing?
As far as i can remember, the first song that I ever sung was to Toni Braxton's "Unbreak my heart" during the portable walkman CD players era. Since then, I only started singing seriously when I was in secondary school ( equivalent to high school) and all the way till now. That's probably about 12 years to state as a figure.
What music do you listen to?
My music selection is rather eclectic actually. It could be from R&B/Soul this minute and some country indie folk song next. I'm pretty much open to all sorts of music to be honest.
What is your guilty pleasure?
The entire Les Miserables album. Sometimes I would even dream of being part of the cast.
Team Edward or Team Jacob?
I'm not really a fan of vampires, so I'm gonna go with Team Jacob. At least he morphs into a furry four legged creature.
Which would you rather wear for a month: bright green crocs or a "<3 Justin Bieber 4 Glee" badge on your chest?
Justin Bieber 4 Glee would be like Kim Kadashian for Destiny's Child. Nah-ah, I would wear the bright green crocs and be fabulous with it than to see Justin Bieber on Glee. P.S. I'm quite a gleeful nerd.

Raw boys drawn from sleepy hamlets
From village greens and smokestack towns
Raised on dreams of glory
Charging to the fray
On fields of honour and fair play
Queensbury rules, not a knife in the back
Now they paint the muddy fields of France with their blood
Cut to ribbons by machine gun fire
Lungs bloody full of mustard gas
Ears pounded by the ceaseless shells
That fill their dreams now
Pound and smash, they never stop
Barbwire pins them into history
Dried butterflies of a genus lost
They died so we might live
We might say
With knowledge they never had
We do not know the future
But we know the penalty
Should we ever commit such folly again
Let us remember them

Bloody the cost
Yet scarce we remember
The freedom their lives bought
The tyrant kept from the door
These happy shores must not forget
Those to whom the debt is owed
Not till the last word is written
The last promise made
Until our last breath too, is taken
We shall remember them

This day we pause our uncaring dash through life,
How much more we'd care if our country called,
And said we must die to take some muddy, bloody hill,
Or hold in our arms a dying boy
Who'll never now get to live,
Only guess at what might have been.
All he can ask –
A shadow of a memory on the wall of names –
Is that we remember this debt
For all our days to come.

On this day, steeped in history
Flows once more the blood of heroes,
Those who by misfortune
Of birth, ill luck or destiny,
Found themselves young men in times of War,
And with what little of their life remained
Made good so none could say-
They did not give all when country called,
Turn back from the fray,
Or leave bloody duty to other men.
They stood and fell
In fields of France,
Mountains of Italy,
Buried in the desert sands in a land they never knew
But for war.
They fought and died
For nought but pay and pride,
Yet served a greater cause-
That we might sleep without fear,
That the world would sail on better course
And evil men would flee rather than fight these men,
Who do not tremble at the Grave
If it is well earned with grace,
Without complaint or demand,
Save that we remember them.

Let's begin:
When our calendar is filled with things to do, we find it hard to focus on God. So here are a few tips on how to walk with God on a busy day!
Start Right:
First, start your day off right with a cup of your favorite drink and time with Jesus. I have always found this relaxing, this way I walk throughout the day in a good mood.
Details count: outfit
Dressing up for the day is something small, but it helps me feel 100%. It is as easy as putting on a nice shirt. Trust me, it makes the difference.
Stop and Center:
Always take a moment to clear your head and to focus on God. Even if it is just five minutes, do it. This helps you keep well-balanced throughout the day.
At the end of the day:
WE DID IT! We crossed everything off our list. Even though, our days can be full of chaos it is important to include God.
"But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh." –Galatians 5:16-17
"As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?" Psalm 42:1-2

The venue of the conference is the English Park Campus - Centre for the Humanities, the former block of Chemistry where The Svedberg performed his scientific work. The Campus still houses The Svedberg's Ultracentrifuge Museum and The Svedberg Laboratory although the natural science institutions have moved to other localities like the Biomedical Centre and the Ångström Laboratory. Locations can be found on this map.
Details of the Campus layout are given in the figure below. The workshops will take place at The Svedberg Laboratory, Building no 4 (Hus 4), entrance 3D, and the historical and scientific sessions in the Ihre Lecture Hall (Ihresalen, given in green), preferred entrance 3H. Registrations to the conference will be at TSL on Sunday - Tuesday, and outside the Ihre Hall on Wednesday - Friday. Poster presentations will take place at the lobby of entrance 3D. The poster boards are 80 cm wide and 190 cm high.

"When I want your opinion I'll beat it out of you." —T-shirt on a large man leaving the Meeting Street Piggly-Wiggly this morning.
Hey Kids! Do you like the Punk Rock?
Apparently a lot of local folk (and a few from New York) do, packing a secret pop-up art gallery above Vanity, next to the old Millennium Music, for a party for The World/Inferno Friendship Society punk cabaret. Entry to the club was carefully monitored and required donning one of those rubber Lance Armstrong "wrist-strong" bracelets, albeit in Spoleto black.
Caroline Nuttall, publisher of Charlie online magazine, greeted us with a potato-launcher of positive energy. "I'm so glad you're here! Have you tried these cheesesteak springrolls!"
It's hard not to be positive when you're Caroline and Stella Nova hair-did you up with this awesome Valley of the Dolls mohawk a la Stella Nova salons.
They say the economic downturn could be a boon to the arts. Olivia Pool was talking to filmmaker Justin Nathanson about the WALK gallery project, which puts local artwork in empty storefront windows. And we were standing in an unrented apartment that Benjamin Hollingsworth had swung a deal for a few months to display his giant canvases, leaned up against the walls. Hollingsworth is a former Charleston Battery midfielder who played a little in Europe as well, where soccer is known as "European Kickball."
Elin Cate of Charleston Chemist loved "Bad Ideas." She said an older lady in soft-soled shoes in the bathroom at the Simons Center liked it too, but told her she needed earplugs. Hadn't seen Elin since the party for Laurie Anderson last year. "I walked up to Lou Reed," she said. "I said 'Hi, I'm Elin,' he said, 'Hi, I'm Lou,' and then I was like, Now what the f—- do I say?"
Cassidy Burns and Aileen Brown were down from New York, lounging on a queen-sized bed in the middle of the room. Cassidy gave "Bad Ideas" three thumbs up. (But the question is, out of how many thumbs?) Her dad James Burns, formerly of J.Bistro, now of JBC catering, served up some of the best, most filling stand-and-eat party food we've seen in lo these many years. Pickled shrimp in Chinese soup spoons, sesame noodle salad with seared tuna, meatball panini.
Senior Superlatives and other Fun facts:

*Charlie's photographer, Matthew Morse, set up shoot-yourself photo booth in the entrance.
*Deejays: Bubble Guts Brothers (Hunter Bazaco and Tony Mele)
*Despite a bed right in the middle of the room, as of 12:30 none of the cast members of Don John had shown up to re-enact any of their boudoir moves.
*People familiar with the Bad Idea Jeans ad from SNL in the eighties: 0 out of the 11 we asked.
*Answers to the question "Do You Have Any Addictions or Bad Ideas?"

Walking Away From Facebook
For the same reason I don't carry my cell phone around with me anymore. Not for two years now.
My business allows me to meet with a lot of people. I once had lunch with a very successful business man, when my cell phone rang. At the time, I had made it clear to all my clients that they could call me anytime and I would pick up the phone. So I did. I excused myself politely and took the call. When I came back, I was taught one of the most important lessons I have ever had.
I apologized to the business owner, after all, it wasn't a business meeting, we were just having lunch and talking about his business. He accepted, then told me something I will never forget.
"Life was simpler when people could only reach us on our terms." He said. "Just because people can reach you, doesn't mean that they should. The day is fast coming when we will not know when enough is enough, and society's eagerness to communicate will corrode our ability to communicate. We will all be trying to say so much, that what everyone says will mean nothing."
Since that day, I told clients to call me at my business, during business hours and I would be happy to talk with them. I told friends to call me at home at appropriate times, and kept my cell phone for emergencies and for my family.
I am much happier. Work stays at work, and I am not tied to my phone like an addict tied to his meth. Facebook was becoming the same thing. Just because people can access information about each other doesn't mean they should.
But more importantly for me, It is one less thing I have to worry about during the day.

Well, Im still sorry to see you go. I really did enjoy seeing your status reports...but I understand what you mean too. Im not much of a cell phone person. I carry one only for the purpose of emergencies and for my kids and their school to get a hold of me. most of my friends dont even have my cell number...I cant stand watching people talk on their cells all day long...in the grocery line...in the bathrooms...at the movie theater..grrr. Anyway...I'll keep checking this blog for the good stuff and wish you luck and success at simplifying your life. Maybe I will see you at the 20 year???

Leaked McDonald's Memo Suggest Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)'s Android Pay To Launch On August 26
This Wednesday, Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)'s much-anticipated Android Pay is expected to launch at McDonald's Corporation (NYSE:MCD) stores. There has been no official confirmation on the issue, but leaked internal communications reveal plans to add Android Pay as a payments option inside McDonald's restaurants. Given McDonald's love for new technologies, rumors about the store being the first or among the first to accept Android Pay appear to have some credence.
Rumors are swirling that Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)'s mobile payments service Android Pay will possibly launch this Wednesday, August 26. There may be some other merchants that will implement the new payments service in their stores at launch, but McDonald's seems to be leading the way.
In a number of memos, McDonald's makes mention of a new payment method enabled in Android smartphones. The memos ask managers and crew to prepare for the roll out of the new mobile payment system.
Other sources have also cited that McDonald's will post signs at the payment terminals to let customers know about the availability of Android Pay as a payment option. In the memos, McDonald's tells managers that the service procedure of using Android Pay is just the same with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s Apple Pay.
Samsung Pay also mentioned
Other internal communications leaked from McDonald's also make mention of another new payment service from Samsung. In the battle for mobile payments revenue, Samsung announced that it was joining Apple in the mobile payments business with Samsung Pay, which is expected to launch on September 28. However, McDonald's somehow erroneously talks about Samsung Pay being launched on August 21, a date that seems to have been confused with the launch date for the Galaxy Note 5.
Google mum on exact Android Pay launch date
On the issue of Android Pay, Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) hasn't communicated when exactly the service would launch, only saying it will be available later this year. However, given McDonald's reputation as a fast-mover in adoption of new technologies, it cannot be far-fetched that the store will be the first to introduce Android Pay on the cited date.
Neither McDonald's nor Google has disputed rumors about the Android Pay launch on August 26.

Graphical abstract
Objectives The purpose was to analyze the agreement and binary accuracy of the degree of internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS) as determined by 4-dimensionally (4D) real-time gray-scale guided 3-dimensional (3D) color-Doppler ultrasonography (3DC-US) (4D/3DC-US) compared with catheter angiography (CA) and duplex ultrasonography (DUS). This study hypothesized that 4D/3DC-US is noninferior to CA and DUS in grading ICAS in selected patients.
Background Clinical stratification in patients with ICAS largely depends on a patient's symptomatic status and the degree of stenosis.
Methods Screening with 4D/3DC-US was prospectively performed in 93 study patients (with 122 ICASs), thus yielding 80 patients for analysis (with 103 ICASs) after excluding patients with insufficient image quality, previous revascularization, and contraindications to CA. The ultrasound examination (10 MHz) consisted of consensus conform DUS examination and independent real-time 4D-guided gray-scale views for orientation followed by static 3DC-US NASCET (North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial) percent stenosis quantification using off-line multiplanar rendering. Multiplanar selective CA of the same ICASs was quantified with dedicated software in a blinded fashion.
Results Quantitative CA of 103 stenoses with a mean degree of 65 ± 17% was compared with 4D/3DC-US, with a resulting concordance correlation coefficient of 0.89 and a standard deviation of differences (SDD) of 8.1% at a bias of +1.7%. Binary 50% and 70% stenosis detection with 4D/3DC-US revealed a sensitivity of 97% and 87%, respectively, and a specificity of 92% and 84%, respectively. Interobserver SDD for CA of 52 stenoses (7.2%) did not differ from SDD for 4D/3DC-US and CA (p = 0.274). Accuracy of 50% stenosis detection by 4D/3DC-US was tendentially higher compared with DUS (96% vs. 91%).
Conclusions The 4D/3DC-US method provides reliable and accurate stenosis quantification and binary classification with good diagnostic accuracy compared with CA and DUS.

If you had asked me before tonight if I was holistic in my thinking, I most likely would have scrunched my forehead in thought and said, "hmm I'm not sure." However in thinking about this post I realized I am holistic in the nature of my thinking. Stay tuned for definition and current examples, but first a story.
When I got out of college, my first job was with a Theater company called TroupeAmerica. Generally speaking around 50% of their business is producing touring shows. At first I worked solely in the shop and helped create scenery and props. As the season progressed, the only job that would be available was a job on a tour. So I accepted. I worked as Technical Director for Babes in Toyland. It was an experience to say the least. On this tour (as with most) the TD (Technical Director) is in charge of packing the truck. When we left Minneapolis, the TD for the company helped me pack the truck for the first time. He taught me a lot. I tried to remember where everything went and why. At the time it seemed like a million things went into that truck. In hindsight, it was a pretty easy pack, (relatively speaking, it was after all only 24ft.) Later in my career with TroupeAmerica I worked on bigger show and packed 48ft semi trailers. (By this time I had experiences with many different small loads.) While the increased trailer size makes it more difficult, all the same things that help dictate the way things should be packed apply. IE. try and keep the weight distributed side to side, keep the heavy things near the front, try and mix big things and medium things to keep everything packed tight (you'd be surprised how much things will shift during 300 miles.), keep the heavy things below your head level, etc. All told I've probably loaded and unloaded trucks and trailers over 200 times. The biggest thing I've learned is that I need to see everything in front of me (or have a very good knowledge of it) in order to do the best pack. As the crew is waiting for items to be packed, I would usually have them bring everything movable closer to the truck doors so it was visible (and not forgotten,) because there are no two truck packs alike and you need to constantly be thinking to evaluate the situation. Seeing the whole picture is vital for me to work on the solution.
Holism (from ὅλος holos, a Greek word meaning all, whole, entire, total) is the idea that all the properties of a given system (physical, biological, chemical, social, economic, mental, linguistic, etc.) cannot be determined or explained by its component parts alone. Instead, the system as a whole determines in an important way how the parts behave. The general principle of holism was concisely summarized by Aristotle in the Metaphysics: "The whole is more than the sum of its parts" (1045a10). – wikipedia
Sometimes I need to remind myself that while this aspect of processing is extremely useful, it also can present a stumbling block, especially when the whole picture isn't always completely visible (ie. wedding planning and budgeting) or when there is another person who sees the same parts combine into a different whole. However I'm positive through honest and open communication, Meg and I can use self-knowledge like this to work together and have a great "holistic" marriage.

Designer Profile: Adriana Castro
Bag designer Adriana Castro is on fire! Her bags are being sold everywhere around the world, every celebrity and socialite is obsessed with carrying her pieces and We are very proud of her! Read more and see what she has to say about her life and career right now:
Fashion Memoires: Where do you get your inspiration?
Adriana Castro: I am inspired by the look, feel and finish of the variety of skins. I can envision my handbags just thinking of how the skins will drape and how the different textures will blend together. Also, color is another great inspiration. I am in love with color. Color is so powerful. In Miami, where I live and work, I am surrounded by an amazing, vibrant palette…from the tropical landscape to the unique architecture, I am constantly thinking of new ideas just walking around the city!
FM: Who are your fashion icons?
AC: Sarah Jessica Parker, Carla Bruni and Queen Rania Al Abdullah
FM: Which tools do you use for research on trends?
FM: Which tools do you use for research on trends?
AC: I create my own trend. The more you look for what is out there, your imagination will find a limit. The idea is to experiment, mix colors and textures to create something that you like. I will never design something that I would not want to carry myself. I believe that design is all about expressing your personal style.
FM: Have you personally met some of the celebrities who wear your bags? / Which ones?
FM: Have you personally met some of the celebrities who wear your bags? / Which ones?
AC: Yes, I have met Eva Longoria, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian. They are all very sweet. What I love the most about these celebs is that besides being beautiful, stylish and successful, they are involved in supporting great causes and giving back through their charitable work.
FM: How do you feel about people calling you the next Nancy Gonzalez?
FM: How do you feel about people calling you the next Nancy Gonzalez?
AC: Hearing this comment is very surreal for me, as Nancy Gonzalez has been an inspiration for me, especially as she is also from Colombia. I greatly admire her success and talent, so the comparison is clearly a great honor.
FM: Have you thought about opening your own shop anytime soon? Your clients would love it I'm sure!
AC: I have thought about it...it is a goal for the future. In the meantime I am focused on positioning my brand globally, to establish a great level of brand recognition. I aspire to become a brand name that is associated as among the best in the world of exotic skin accessories, both with the consumer and within the fashion industry.
FM: Who are your favorite designers?
FM: Who are your favorite designers?
AC: Valentino,Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera.

"Great, is this going in your blog too?"
– My cousin Arun, as he was fixing something in my room that was broken.
This is awesome. I feel like a serious journalist, taking notes of everything and making it public knowledge to my throngs of loyal readers. Ok, so I don't really have any earth shattering news and I'm still working on upping that fan base. At the very least I feel like Carrie Bradshaw when her friends would make her swear not to put their relationship problems in her next column. I'm pretty sure she always did anyway. My cousin is funny. I didn't start this blog so I could call out everyone. Then again, who doesn't like having their own portable soapbox. But this is my travel blog and if I would call out anything out it'd be like the basic necessity of every hostel to have large lockers available to guests and personal plug points by their beds. Or Japan to find alternative solutions to burning their trash in a way that's better for the environment. I've been back in India for 24 hours and I already noted how some streets here could desperately use sidewalks (if I was driving here I would have already run over several aunties by now.)
Anyway, my cousin has nothing to worry about. He and his wife Lydia are taking great care of me. I always forget what a culture shock it is coming back to India. Especially coming from a place like Japan – the two countries couldn't be more like day and night. Japan is so orderly and everyone follows the rules. And it's so clean! India is an entirely different beast. Lots of people everywhere, goats and stray dogs running around, the occasional cow chilling on the side of the road eating trash.
Today I went to church with my cousins. It wasn't until lunch was being served and everyone started eating with their hands that I was reminded that I'm not in the states anymore (or Europe, or Japan.) Maybe I was half expecting a pair of chop sticks to be waiting for me at the end of the buffet line, I don't really know. Arun claims that food tastes better when you eat with your hands anyway. I don't remember the last time I've eaten a full meal (not including chapatti) with my bare hands. I don't know if Arun's theory is right or not, but I can tell you that that first meal was heaven to my stomach. Something else that's completely different between Japan and India is the food! I love it, don't get me wrong, but the Japanese people tend to like their food more bland. It was like my taste buds were being woken up when I took a bite of some delicious biryani. And then I ate a chili and thought I was going to die. Baby steps!
This month will be completely different from my time in Europe and Japan. I won't be doing nearly as much traveling to different cities, and I will be staying with family instead of at hostels. Regardless, I anticipate that I will learn some new things and be pushed out of my comfort zone during these next 30 days. For starters, I'm taking bucket baths! Also, I'll be helping my cousins start up an organization that they've dreamed about doing for the last five years. Can't wait to tell you more about that soon.

Will you see Brendan Fraser's 'The Mummy 2' in theaters?
· Synopsis: Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Owl, Kanga, Roo, Rabbit and the ever-exuberent Tigger are busy preparing a suitable winter home for dismal donkey Eeyore. Everyone is into the effort except Tigger who is too playful to work. When Rabbit suggests Tigger go find some other "tiggers" to cavort with--at first, Tigger thinks the notion absurd since he believes he's the only "tigger." But an amazing journey through the undred-Acre Wood brings surprises.
Reviewer: Marc Flemming [Staff]
I f the laws of aging by gradual wear applied to these toys, they would surely be landfill by now. Yet somehow Winnie the Pooh still eats his honey, Tigger bounces uncontrollably, and Eeyore still seems to be the most depressed donkey this side of reality. Shouldn't Christopher Robinson be looking into obtaining social security one of these days while he still can? Alas, put all that aside and you have a sidekick Disney viewed as being worth of his own animated film. The curiously odd feline, who most certainly might some day open his own grammar and spelling school (with the likes of other misunderstood creatures like Yoda) so that many of us might one day gain an understanding of what it is he is really saying, takes the forefront in his own film, The Tigger Movie.
Tigger, that's spelled, "T-I-Double-GUH-Rr," takes the reigns from Pooh and leads the audience on an adventure to help alleviate his sudden stroke of loneliness as a result of his tendency to bring about trouble and annoyance amidst his partners-in-solitude. The cat initially leads a happy existence proclaiming his content with being the only "Tigger". As Tigger causes disruption after disruption in the introduction segments of the film, his pals lead him to believe he's not as wanted as he would like to be. Tigger's own sympathy for his situation results in his forgetting about his individuality and instead he determines his pains can be appeased by locating others that are like him. Tigger, with the help of his little Kangaroo buddy, Roo, proceeds to set out on a journey to locate his family.
The film offers a number of charming scenes surely to woo the admiration of those fans who take a liking to this bunch. For example, at one point in the film, Pooh, intent on getting his paws in a pile of honey within a bee's nest, cleverly and quite calmy sings a swarm of bees to sleep .... using those logical creator-given talents that don't seem to work too well out here in the real world. Of course in their environment, these things work well on the screen and prove effective in front of the younger audience who was full of cheers from time to time.
Disney has systematically created another film for youngsters that, of course, contains a moral to the story. The Tigger Movie explains the importance of one's individuality, how it is also important to appreciate those around you and accept things for the way that they are. If your kids are in need of a healthy dose of subconscious lesson learning, Disney steps in to do their part once again in what will surely be an entertaining film for many of the younger members in our society.

Watching Saturday's Senior Cup final from the neutral dug out until the bitter cold forced me indoors, I couldn't help but notice the sight of a Dungannon sub preparing to come on.
The poor girl was literally shivering and in danger of suffering from exposure in her short sleeved shirt as she awaited her team mate's arrival at the half way line to take to the pitch.
Ireland was one of a very small number of countries in Europe playing outdoors at this time of the year and maybe it's time to consider taking a break and moving indoors to play our hockey like the rest of the continent.
I was among the lucky ones on Saturday because I was able to have an excellent view of the match during the second half from the palatial club house at Havelock Park.
Then the snow came on, mercifully only for ten minutes or so, as the players battled gamely in conditions that were not conducive to good hockey let alone spectating.
A week earlier none of the players at the Irish Indoor Hockey Championships at Queen's PE Centre experienced any such problems, for obvious reasons.
A small band of enthusiastic clubs and officials do their best to keep this version of the sport alive but the patient is clearly ailing.
The national governing body doesn't even pay lip service to indoor hockey judging by the complete lack of information on its website ahead of or after the tournament.
The situation is not much better in Ulster, to be honest, but all credit to our President Ann Rosa for her support over the two days at the PE Centre.
Brian Caruth - not sure whether it was an Ulster or Irish hat he was wearing - was also present as was Ireland men's manager Peter Jackson from start to finish.
Umpires? There were just three who were on duty all weekend namely Tara Browne, who traveled all the way from Galway, Jamie Aiken and Christine Reid - presumably no one else was interested.
Just five clubs in Ulster expressed an interest in taking part and these were the usual suspects, namely Ards, Queen's, the Ulster Elks and Portadown.
This year they were joined by former champions Armagh and that was no coincidence as it was largely down to coach Nial McCool that they made their return to the indoor game.
McCool is a big fan of the sport and the fact he spent a couple of years away from the club due to family commitments meant there was no one to fight the cause of indoor hockey until his return.
He is very much in favour of taking a break from outdoor hockey in the worst of the winter but he insists that the initiative must come from the top.
Armagh were certainly well represented at the tournament at the PEC and not just by those wearing the Orchard county jerseys.
Emma Reid, who helped Ards retain their title, Gemma Frazer from the Ulster Elks Elks, Joanne Orr and Linzi Hamilton of Queens are all past Armagh players so the indoor bug runs deep in that part of the world.
"A steering committee would need formed and driven by believers and supported by the Branch and Executive," says McCool.
"It's the lazy approach that puts teams off but if the branch promotes it and pushes it clubs will embrace it.
"However, it's expensive and that is hardly going to encourage more clubs to take part
"We need proper venues with large courts, well marked out and several venues need to be confirmed in geographical areas to facilitate all teams in Premier League.
"District Councils need to be approached to support the venture and contribute financially. They might purchase sideboards and goals if they know clubs will book the facility.
"A main headline sponsor is needed for both men's and ladies super 5s as indoor hockey is now marketed as.
"Ten teams in Premier League both men and ladies need to take part and it should be made compulsory in my opinion.
"Teams could be divided into two pools of five like the Ulster Shield with the top two from each going into a semi final.
"The tournament could be staged over two consecutive weekends with teams playing two each games per day.
"Both finalists should be sent to take part in all Ireland in Dublin, if they were to take it seriously in the south.
"There should be potential for midweek games to release some pressure. Why not create an atmosphere with some music and spectators.
"Also another idea might be to have an inter-pro indoor hockey tournament and, If marketed properly, it could be an exciting hockey product like in years gone by.
"In addition, schools needs to be enthusiastic for this so why not promote a schools' indoor league and that way we would be grooming the next generation with the sport.
"In Armagh, and especially the likes of the late George Compston, we are big fans of indoor and this year's was a very successful tournament again driven by some key Ards members.
"However, we need to embrace the passion shown by some of these clubs and Paul O'Brien, in Dublin, to maintain this sport.
"If the branch does not support it and it becomes a half hearted event then it's pointless. We as Ulster clubs deserve better and we should be provided for. If the demand is there and I think it is!"
McCool has certainly provided a lot of food for thought and that shivering Dungannon player, I am sure, would welcome an indoor league!

Baby got back!
From Germany, that is. Last Friday. I managed to keep thoughts of how disgracefully fat I am at bay for the most part and had a really good time. I didn't eat much really but I still thought I'd pile on the weight, as the calories were being consumed in liquid form by the gallons.
I don't drink beer since my surgery, but I had a lot of these:
And these:
White Russian
So I was pleasantly surprised when I got home to see that my weight had gone down 2 lbs during my trip. Two digits, bitches! And I am 18 lbs from Onederland.
Also, I got a lot of propositions. A LOT. And while they have had more to do with the fact of being the drunk girl at the bar and not my attractiveness, I choose to not analyze too deeply. I'll take what i can get!

Maybe. I've reached out to Border Collie handlers that I've known over the years letting them know that I lost Gel. I am starting to put out feelers for a dog for me. I am trying to accept Jack as the crazy dog that he is and giving him the opportunity to do something.
Poor old Jack can't help that he has ADD – but there's drugs for that, no?
I am thinking that maybe I may want to do some low-level trialing again – yea – in my spare time … maybe that's just a way for me to avoid other projects that I am trying to get done.
Went to a bourbon distiller yesterday. It was cool – but I really don't like the smell of alcohol.
Still working on my 365 Day Photography Project. Here are two pictures that I took at the Whippoorwill Dairy. I have been wanting to go to this old dairy for a long time now and I finally got to go. Unfortunately it was a disappointment to some extent. There was no period trash around – just recent trash which took away from the beauty of the site. I had a hard time getting clean pictures.
Here's Day Three:
Days four, five and six are on my lap top and will need to be posted later.
Back to a dog. I could not accept another dog while Gel was alive. I know there will never be another Gel but now I feel like I can bring on another dog because I need one now. I didn't need one when Gel was alive … I guess it was lazy and selfish on my part. Gel was the main man. Maybe it wasn't a bad thing – we had a committed relationship.
Some irons are in the fire we'll see how they heat up.
Meanwhile, there's a sheepdog trial the last weekend of May that I think Wally and I will visit to watch.
We'll see what happens.
Until later …

A master's degree in English literature might not seem an ideal preparation for a career as a business journalist. Actually it served me well, for all the reasons given by advocates of a liberal arts education.
But my own experience seems to have little to do with what the journalism job market is seeking today. Should we be improving students' minds and souls or helping them get a job?
These days I advise students to be practical. Employers and recent graduates are telling me that the current job market demands that job applicants know:
- Multimedia storytelling skills. Producing slideshows with sound, shooting and editing video and photos, writing for the web.
- Data and statistical skills for storytelling. Collecting, editing, analyzing and interpreting data to produce compelling interactive maps and graphics.
- Audience development skills (formerly known as marketing and circulation) such as managing online communities, interpreting data on audience behavior, crowdsourcing for information, interacting with the audience.
- Basics of programming. How to create compelling pages that attract web audiences.
- The business of media. Journalists can help a news organization generate revenues without compromising their ethics, and today that skill is more important than ever.

CLEAR SPRING -- Looking at his fellow graduates, Mackenzie Blair saw that each one was different.
Each member of the Clear Spring High class of 2008 will leave high school and achieve different things, he said during Thursday's commencement ceremony.
They were the "school hottie," the bookworms, the band geeks and the "goth," Mackenzie, the class valedictorian, said. About 120 students graduated from Clear Spring High School Thursday.
"It might be hard to tell under my cap and gown ...," said Randall Lavigne. "But I am nerd."
Randall hopes to design video games as a career.
"Since I was a small child, I've known that was my dream job," he said. "So, I'm going for my dream."

Professor Roy Smith is interviewed about JPMorgan's conflict with the Indonesian government
— January 3, 2017
Excerpt from Reuters -- "'(It's) a mistake by Indonesia, which needs JPMorgan's support and advice more than the bank needs Indonesia,' Smith said. 'No effort by governments unhappy with research calls to "discipline" the banks have been successful, though efforts are made from time to time to satisfy local political expectations.'"

Club chief talks up major Man United transfer: It would be his dream signing
NAPOLI president Aurelio De Laurentiis admits he would love to sign Zlatan Ibrahimiovic.
Mino Raiola, Ibrahimovic's agent, recently talked up a move to Naples for the Manchester United star.
And it appears that he would be welcomed at the Stadio San Paolo with open arms.
"My dream signing? I always try to go forward with what I have," said De Laurentiis, speaking to Italian journalist Walter Veltroni.
"One that I would like, though, is that giant who is at Manchester United now.
"I had him as a dinner guest in Los Angeles and he's incredibly nice, even though he always seems angry.
"You know the one I'm talking about, right?"
Ibrahimovic signed a 12-month contract with the option of a further year when he joined United on a free transfer last summer.
The 35-year-old striker has enjoyed an impressive season so far, bagging 20 goals in 34 appearances across all competitions.

ATD FAQs
- What is Achieving the Dream?
- What is the ultimate goal of ATD?
- What is it based on?
- What's the timeline for ATD implementation?
- How does ATD fit with the College's Strategic Plan?
- How does ATD fit with Middle States accreditation?
- How do all the committees fit together?
- What do ATD coaches do?
- What are all these ATD acronyms?
- What is a gateway course? How were they selected?
- How is ATD funded?
- I have a suggestion or I want to help. How do I get involved?
Achieving the Dream is a national network of more than 200 community colleges nationwide dedicated to improving student success. MVCC is the first SUNY community college to be invited to the network.
MVCC's goal as an ATD school is to use data to identify and implement evidence-based strategies for closing achievement gaps and increasing student retention, persistence, and completion rates.
ATD Colleges Operate on 7 Institutional Capacities:
- Leadership & Vision
- Data & Technology
- Equity
- Teaching and Learning
- Engagement & Communication
- Strategy & Planning
- Policies & Practices
2015-16 is MVCC's first implementation year. The complete plan for activities this year is spelled out in the implementation plan.
The number one priority in MVCC's Strategic Plan as adopted by the Board of Trustees is student completion. Strategic Plan metrics are being developed in alignment with the ATD implementation plan to ensure that data drives decisions and efforts are not duplicated.
The Middle States Commission on Higher Education requires colleges seeking accreditation to hold themselves to seven standards. ATD directly aligns with Standard III, Design and Delivery of the Student Learning Experience; Standard IV, Support of the Student Experience; Standard V, Educational Effectiveness Assessment; and Standard VI, Planning, Resources, and Institutional Improvement.
At the center of ATD is a Core Team which facilitates communication and strategic direction of all the other ATD groups, including the Data Team, implementation teams, and teams responsible for reviewing policies and procedures.
ATD provides MVCC with two coaches:
- A leadership coach who advises the Core Team and senior leadership on how to develop and implement our overall ATD plan; and
- A data coach who advises the Core Team and Data Team on how to develop, distribute, and understand the meaningful data that drives decisions about student success.
Both of MVCC's coaches have successfully led ATD implementations at their institutions and have prior experience as coaches to other ATD colleges.
Achieving the Dream uses a variety of acronyms as does MVCC. Their meanings (and how they will play into MVCC's activities) are spelled out in the College's implementation plan.
Gateway courses are significant determinants of student success because they have large enrollments and student success in these courses is required for students to move ahead in their chosen curricula.
Working with Institutional Research, the Data Team identified a list of gateway courses with large enrollments and large gaps in achievement between non-low-income and low-income students. The Core Team, Data Team, and deans reviewed this data and selected the courses listed in the ATD Implementation Plan for first-year efforts at intervention.
MVCC's participation in ATD is supported by a special appropriation from Oneida County, which is separate from MVCC's operating budget.

Today is Wed November 29th, and I have been working in my studio all day. It is a great art day, lighting from outside is wonderful, and I'm working on a new commissioned collage piece. It was necessary, however, to clean up my studio a bit first. You can see a photo of my working studio here. Hope you all have a great day.

This is officially the longest chapter of Penny Dreadful.
So originally, Yma's murder of Melody was much more motivated by her antagonistic relationship with Oliver. Basically Yma fridged Melody. But as the comic went, some where around Chapter 3 when I was writing the scenes between Amanda and Vivi, I decided that wasn't right. Very little of the Yma/Melody/Oliver story has changed since the inception of PD, but the slight changes in motivation changed the characters a lot. That's one of the things I've liked most about writing a story over such a long period of time, it gives you the chance to think better of some things.

Here's how to build a growth mindset for workplace success!
One of my colleagues recently said the following statement which stirred my thinking: "Paul, if you think you can, then you can, but if you think you can't, then you can't." For a moment, I was taken aback by these words which got me wondering, "am I in a prison of my own identity held captive by my own creation?"
This led me to research more on how we are wired, and what makes some people more successful than others under similar circumstances. I came to a realization that our mindset plays a huge role on how we view our potential and our ability to learn and deal with challenges that we face in our day-to-day lives.
In her book, "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success," Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck defined mindset as a set of beliefs and traits about the human nature. Her decades of research concluded that there are two types of mindsets: growth and fixed.
Growth mindset in action
During the month of August, Shortlist held trainings on Developing a Growth Mindset for finance professionals. These trainings were facilitated by Lucy Njoroge, Training Manager at Shortlist. She highlighted the significance of having a growth mindset in an individual's workplace and personal well-being. Participants were taken through the connection between an individual's mindset and success. Then they learned how one can develop and maintain a mindset for their improvement.
Let's now dig deeper on how these two mindsets play out in our lives.
According to Dweck, people with a Growth mindset believe that skills and intelligence can be developed with effort, learning and persistence. They view effort positively because when applied in skills, competencies, and character development, it results in growth. Their passion for learning helps them consider failure as a learning opportunity. Hence, they step out of their comfort zones and take calculated risks.
During our training, Lucy prompted participants to look at challenges as opportunities to learn, grow and change their mindsets. "You have to get out of your comfort zone and sweat through your current status for you to achieve what you want," said Lucy. "Develop yourself through training and networking and always look at feedback as a way to get better," she added.
On the other hand, people with a fixed mindset believe that skills and intelligence are innate and unchangeable. They believe that talent is the main thing that leads to success and therefore if you use effort to develop it, then it means that you're not good enough. Their focus is to look good and only take on tasks and projects that are easy for them, to avoid failure and looking bad.
According to Simon Sinek, "Some people see the thing they want, and some people see the thing that prevents them from getting what they want." So, does it mean that some people have a growth mindset while others have a fixed one?
The answer is absolutely NOT!
The truth is, we all have the two mindsets at play in our lives. Since these mindsets apply to all life's domains from artistic, emotional, academic, physical and social skills, a person with a growth mindset in one area may hold a fixed mindset in another.
This is summarized by Carol Dweck as follows: "The view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life."
What did I do well, what didn't go well and what can I do differently next time? These are a few questions one should challenge to ask themselves to achieve continuous improvement.
The big question is, How then do you develop a growth mindset?
- By believing that your skills and talents can be honed, you create a new compelling belief of oneself. Consider failure as an extra effort to significantly improve the current results for the better.
- Enhance your self awareness to fully comprehend your key strengths and weaknesses. This will be possible when you positively take feedback on areas of improvement to better improve your current status.
- Become a curious learner by living in wonderment and discover the beauty of life. Learning different experiences will teach you different lessons. This will help you embrace challenges no matter how insurmountable they look to be, to reach the top.
- Be inspired by others achievements and have a desire to see others achieve their own echelons of success. When this happen, it simply adds fuel to their blazing fire to keep on with the journey.
- Finally, perseverance is an important prerequisite for growth mindset. The feeling of frustration has been cited as the quickest way of giving up long before we should. We are designed to thrive! Don't focus too much on what is happening to you but rather devote your energy on what's happening for you.
In conclusion , the aspect of mindset represents a spectrum. That means, in different times and situations, you might be on a growth mindset. Other times you slip into a fixed mindset. It takes your self-awareness to flex back to growth mindset when you slip to a fixed zone. The realization that you are in control of your abilities is the first step to adopting a growth mindset!
The Growth Mindset Training is part of Shortlist's in-person training supported by work-based practice that aims to cultivate skills and attitude for workplace success. Follow our twitter for more information on our upcoming trainings!

We have a form which collects 2 emails (a staff and a supervisor):
Is it possible to reply to BOTH emails when the form is received? The way we have to do this now is copy and paste the supervisor's email, which is time consuming.
The form's dropdown menu only allows for one email.
Please advise.
- JotForm SupportdavidAnswered on March 04, 2015 at 01:25 PM
Here's the trick for that.
1. Add a Hidden Box field to your form and enter all the email addresses there as the default values
2. Set the hidden box field as the "Reply-to" emails.
For the autoresponder,
Here is a thread discussing exactly the setup I believe you are trying to achieve:

You left out one important bit, what OS are you running, if it's below Win 98SE you will have either no success at all or a very difficult time.
Some(many) digital camera's and devices will not work without Windows ME and then not even an update from 98 it has to be a clean install.
