While other parts of him aren't known for being very large, no one has ever disputed the size of Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump's big mouth — the dude does not mince words.
For that reason — and because it's funny — the interwebs decided it would be a good idea to start doing brisk movie plot explainers as Trump and that's how #TrumpExplainsMoviePlots was born.
For example, this is a #TrumpExplainsMoviePlots review of Jurassic Park: "The park? Poorly run, folks. In my park the dinosaurs would be bigger. I mean YUGE. Make Goldblum great again"
Get it? Got it. Good. The internet will be taking it from here.

Nipple-Areolar Complex Reconstruction pp 373-377 | Cite as
Three-Dimensional Nipple-Areola Tattooing
The technique of three-dimensional (3D) nipple-areola complex (NAC) tattooing is a significant advance in obtaining improved esthetic results for women undergoing breast reconstruction. The application of 3D techniques or "realism" in tattoo artistry has significant potential to improve the esthetic outcomes of reconstructive surgery. Traditional coloring techniques for NAC tattooing ignore the artistic principles of light and shadow to create depth on a two-dimensional surface. The method presented in this article is essentially the inverse of traditional technique and results in a more realistic and 3D reconstruction that can appear better than surgical methods. When combined with surgical nipple reconstruction in appropriate patients, excellent results can be achieved. Overall, plastic surgeons have just begun to explore the possible applications of medical tattoos in plastic surgery that may allow us to enhance the esthetic results of not only breast reconstruction but other areas alike.

Ivan Sutherland was the mastermind inventor and developer of MIT's Sketchpad. The Computer Graphics pioneer, Sutherland was born in 1938, and in 1963, while an MIT student, created a highly interactive drawing-and-design program called Sketchpad.
Sketchpad's many innovations included a display file to refresh the screen, a hierarchical structure for modeling graphical objects, recursive methods for geometric transformations, and an object-oriented programming style. In 1968, Sutherland co-founded Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation, he was vice president and chief scientist of the company.
He was also the chairman of the computer science department at Caltech from 1976 to 1980. In the 1980's, Sutherland left Caltech to establish the consulting firm Sutherland, Sproull and Associates. He also founded Advanced Technology Ventures, a venture capital firm. In 1964, MIT produced a TV show about Sketchpad, this featured researchers talking about the product and software. The demo section of the video starts at 3:30, if you would like to skip to that section.
Dr. Ivan Sutherland won the Kyoto Prize for Advanced Technology in 2012. Ivan Sutherland did not know exactly how he was jump-starting a revolution that would carry on for decades. He was asked if he knew how he was changing the tech world. This is what he said:
"The future is very hard to see. I had no idea of what would happen in the future, nor did I think of it much. I just wanted to make nice pictures."
Other Accomplishments
In 1968, Sutherland and fellow University of Utah computer-science professor David Evans founded Evens & Sutherland, which was responsible for the flight simulators.
Sutherland was a very humble man, when asked which one of his accomplishments pleased him the most. He replied with "the thing I'm most proud of is my grandchildren." He later mentioned an achievement in his 1999 book Logical Effort, co-written with Sproull and David Harris, on designing fast circuits.
Sutherland's research focused on making a forward leap in circuit design by ditching one of the fundamental facts about almost all processors.
They performed tasks synchronously, at a rate governed by the processor's clock. The clockspeeds led to faster processors. Sutherland's concern with the paradigm is that it doesn't scale.
When Sutherland was asked what he thought about the industry's future, he responded, "You'd have to ask someone who's 25 years old, not someone who's 74. I haven't done any computer graphics in the last 35 years. I've just been doing my thing and having fun."

The parliamentary inquiry into state capture at Eskom will resume on Tuesday under a new chair.
ANC MP Lungi Mnganga-Gcabashe, a member of the governing party's national executive committee, has replaced Zukiswa Rantho, who led members of public enterprises portfolio committee through the investigation's first three sessions earlier this month.
READ: State Capture Probe: 'Damage Caused By Corruption Is Profound'
According to a parliamentary official, the fourth session will see MPs probing details around the power utility's relationship with Gupta-linked company Trillian Capital Partners, and Eskom's payment to it of close to R600-million for "consultancy" work.
The committee will likely be keen to establish who was responsible for Eskom's procurement of Trillian's services, and what role consulting company McKinsey played in this.
McKinsey is currently involved in a legal dispute with Eskom over the utility's irregular payment to it of R1.6-billion.
Questions have been raised over whether a contract actually exists between Eskom and Trillian, as well as between Trillian and McKinsey. The latter reportedly sub-contracted Trillian to meet BEE requirements.
There is speculation that today's session will be held in camera, over concern for the safety of witnesses, some of whom are said to have received death threats. At 8.45am on Tuesday, journalists were waiting for Mnganga-Gcabashe to pronounce on the matter. The inquiry is set to start at 9.30am.ends

Wouldn't that be a fun contest? Bring firewood or some other form of heating to help a family stay warm in the winter, and get an entry to win an e-reader! Though what I'm talking about today, of course, is the process on which I'm currently embarked, that of building a story which I hope will burn as brightly as any fire.
If you check out my Personal Novel Writing Month page for Playing with Fire (story snippet now available!), you'll see that I'm on pace, even a bit ahead. Elizabeth has accused me of "making this look easy". So I think this Thunder Thursday's blog post should be about my writing process, and why it's not quite as simple as it looks.
Every author has a different writing process, as individual as a musician's or an actor's technique. I believe it's fair to liken my process to starting a fire, because like that most ancient of arts, it has several distinct steps, some of which may seem odd, but none of which can be skipped if you want a truly useful outcome.
First, I must gather fuel. For a physical fire, as any Boy or Girl Scouts among you will know, this might include dried grass, newspaper, twigs, bark, sticks, logs, charcoal... basically, whatever you can find that will burn, but you always need a variety of sizes and types, or your fire just won't fly. (So to speak. Actual flying fire is BAD.)
For writing, my fuel comes in both physical and mental forms. Anyone who reads my "About the Author" blurbs knows that I can get very deeply into my writing at times, and the only way to lure me out is with strong black tea (one Splenda, please) and delicious carbohydrates. Krystal is not called the Author-Feeder for nothing.
Mental fuel is where we start to get more topical with the day of the week again, because getting the right kind of fuel in my brain-tank is especially essential when I'm writing in a particular period and place, such as Georgian-era England and Ireland. One anachronistic turn of phrase can ruin the audience's fictional dream for good.
Once I have my fuel gathered, I have to put it into order. Again, as I would if I were kindling a physical fire, I start with the easy stuff. What are my characters wearing today? Who are they hoping to see? What questions will they ask, and what might come of that asking? Layer by layer, twig by twig, I build my preparations...
Then I have to light it all up and hope for the best. This is the moment when words meet screen, when fingers meet keys, when voice begins to speak into microphone. And, unsurprisingly, now and then my fire fizzles out. Some days the kindling won't catch. Other times it flares up and goes out, or burns in a way I never intended.
But is that a disaster? In the real world, it can be (everybody take a moment and do your best Smokey Bear impression... I'll wait), but in fiction, a fire that's burning fiercely should never be put out. The direction of the fiercest flame indicates the area where your passions lie, whether you realized it until this very moment or not.
For instance, yesterday, a scene I'd intended to be a sweet little moment with a man stepping out of his house to enjoy the morning took a more thoughtful, reminiscent turn. I followed where the fire was leading me, and ended up with a meeting between two of my favorite supporting characters much sooner than I'd originally intended.
Is that a good thing, or a bad one? Some writers, if I understand it right, need to have their process under much stricter control than this. Others would find even the limited outlining I do in my preparation step to be too much rigidity. Who's right? All of us. As long as we produce fiction which is both entertaining and compelling.
As for who decides if we do that? Why, that would be you, oh readers. Hop on over to my PerNoWriMo page to see the scene in question, and let me know how I'm doing so far. (Having read A Widow in Waiting will be helpful, but isn't necessary!)

The proceeds of the IIC loan will be used to finance small and medium-sized Honduran enterprises in productive sectors such as industry, manufacturing, construction, agroindustry, and other eligible sectors.
Banco Financiera Centroamericana S.A. (FICENSA) began doing business in Honduras in 1974. With activities geared mainly to corporate financing, the bank has two main offices, one in Tegucigalpa and the other in San Pedro Sula, along with 26 branch offices in the country's major cities, drive-through teller windows, and an extensive network of automatic teller machines. FICENSA is a member of the Banet network.
Environmental and Labor Issues:
This is a category FI-2 project according to the IIC's Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy ("IIC Sustainability Policy") because the subprojects in the financial intermediary's current or future portfolio are considered medium risk. To enable the Borrower to better understand the IIC's requirements, FICENSA will be required to attend the IIC's environmental training workshop for financial intermediaries. Each subproject will be subject to an environmental review and must comply with domestic environmental and labor laws, regulations, and standards, as well as IIC environmental guidelines.

Cool Modern Kitchen Shelves - Folks usually take one of two design paths when it comes to designing the modern kitchen. The primary path uses modern artwork as inspiration to produce the overall look of the layout. But another track for the kitchen design will be to pick the newest and many recent advanced kitchen appliances and features available.
When you take a modern-artwork centric strategy, you may wish to focus on lines that are clean. Clean lines are very important to the modern artwork design. Kitchen designers will tell you that, should you'd like a contemporary arty "feel" to your kitchen, you may want clean and straight lines. Any counter top appliances, such as a toaster, a coffee maker or a microwave, will fit the kitchen's color scheme and blend to the walls and counter surrounding them or stand out starkly in contrast.
Should you choose to take a contemporary technology strategy to your design, modern kitchen designers will search the to out -the-minute appliances and technological kitchen advances. It is highly likely that this kitchen will feature a kitchen computer and also a games console where portable devices could be charged. It is also likely that there will be a computerized central device that will alert family members to messages scheduled tasks and other plans or notes.
Clearly, to designing the modern kitchen, both of these approaches usually are not mutually exclusive. It's totally possible, especially with all the aid of designers that are contemporary, to fuse both of these approaches to the modern kitchen right into an individual design. Modern kitchen design is subjective. Needless to say, should you would rather give attention to an individual strategy (a modern artwork strategy with classic appliances, for instance) that is quite possible.

I've always been a huge fan of The Wizard of Oz since I was young. Since becoming a nail addict, I've been in search of the perfect Dorothy glitter. When I saw that Morgan Taylor polish was on sale a few weeks ago, I knew I had to try Rare As Rubies. I must say that it seems to be Dorothy approved!
I used two coats of Nicole by OPI – Challenge Red-y followed by two coats of Morgan Taylor – Rare As Rubies.
Rare As Rubies looks gorgeous from afar, as well…
Have a great week :)

Cyber Security, a real threat
Cyber Security is a real threat to manufacturers – Learn how will this impact your business and what steps you can take to protect yourself at this Yorkshire and Humber event.
Our Manufacturing Connect events are hosted at manufacturers' facilities and include a factory tour, enabling best practice and information sharing with your peers.
Recent cyber-attacks have had significant financial and reputational implications for some of the world's most sophisticated businesses. UK Manufacturers are not immune from the threat.
It is estimated that nearly 50% of UK firms lack advanced cyber defences and the cost of cyber security incidents to March 2016 was put at £34.1bn. Even the most robust defences can be breached.
Hear from Howden, EEFs Insurance partner, who will take you through a possible mock attack and what the incident response would be; learn how your business can protect itself from a Cyber Attack and what actions you need to take.
Hear from EEF on the outputs of our recent research, the implications on your business and possible actions to mitigate.
Our hosts Iceotope will detail their technology which enables high performance, secure data storage and provide the opportunity for you to tour their facility at the AMRC Catapult in Sheffield.
Attend this session if:
EEF will not normally refuse entry to events, however, it is our policy to not admit competitors of EEF or our host facility into Manufacturing Connect events.

An arch of stars hung in the heavens,
The moon was turned to blood,
Fire was in the fields below,
And rivers raged in flood.
Smoke rose o'er the Isle of France,
The heart of Gaul aflame,
A mighty wind came roaring on,
And put her hosts to shame.
For in storms of bloody war there came,
A clamour for the death of France,
Arméd men with bitter swords,
With bow and mighty lance.
What brave and wild beasts were they?
For trees rocked to their roots and swayed,
In fury that men of England made,
And stars were blacked by clouds of blood;
Blue banners foundered in the mud,
And France was held at bay.
For lilies that grow in the fields of France,
Are gentle like the summer wind,
They grow upon a crowned head,
Or girt with gold on banners limned.
But the rose of England thrives with thorns,
And gilds the wild briar,
For striving does the rose enjoy,
And blooms with cheerful fire.
The ruin of Rouen and Paris beset,
Were shouts amid the throng,
For night is dark as day is light,
And night seems o'er long.
The Dauphin wept and cursed the skies,
What waste was his estate,
And God looked on and heard the cries,
And help came not too late.
What gilded flower did God send forth,
When all the world was clothed in gloom?
What lily from the field arose,
From briar and bramble, sprang what bloom?
Not iron-hard or ice of soul,
No knight of fierce renown,
A simple maid of little note,
Was sent to save the crown.
Joan of Arc was that virgin fair,
Low birth her only fame,
For she was born in Lothair's land,
And from the byre came.
Her knees were bent in humble pose,
Upon the stony ground,
When saintly visions orbed bright,
With crowns and eyes of holy light,
Bade her then take up the fight,
And see the crownless crowned.
Three saints of God gave good command,
And stood upon the field,
Saint Margaret and Saint Catherine,
And Saint Michael with his shield.
"Go ye up to Chinon, Joan,
And charge the Dauphin now,
To save this land of goodly maids,
To strike before the fire fades,
To sharpen all those rusty blades,
And crown his naked brow."
And Joan was brave but Joan was cold,
For who can fear deny,
When out from heav'n a trumpet calls,
A bidding from the sky?
"Send me not, O holy saints,
I am but poor and young,
What can I do for France's fate,
Who from no lord has sprung?"
"The last is first", Saint Margaret said,
"And ye hath God ordained,
To be the scourge of Englishmen,
And see fair France regained."
So Joan of Arc travelled thence,
To see the royal seed,
And charged him with the fate of Gaul,
And warned him to pay heed.
That princely man listened well,
To the simple holy Joan,
And wonder seized his noble heart,
And hope sat in his throne.
A banner gave the king to Joan,
No sword did she require,
And armour set she on at once,
The knights of France to inspire.
Thus came the saint by troubled roads,
To Orleans besieged,
And saw the walls were barely stood,
Breaches held with rotting wood,
Smoke hung o'er like a hood,
Her people much aggrieved.
The girl of nineteen summers,
Steeled her holy heart,
She called on God Almighty,
That she might do her part.
The girl of nineteen summers,
Put forth her battle display,
And all the French looked on in hope,
The English in dismay.
"Forward men of France!" saith Joan,
"For God and king go forth,
Thy hearts be bold and burning,
Thy strength be swift returning,
For now the tide is turning,
And ye must show thy worth."
With shield and shining pennant armed,
Saint Joan led on the host,
She set her standard on the walls,
And praised the Holy Ghost.
Day by day the English forts,
Fell to saintly Joan,
Hour by hour she showed her faith,
In her good God alone.
All girt in armour steely grey,
She burned with golden light,
In manly dress but fair of face,
Saint Joan shone in the night.
A glimmer round her head was seen,
A crown of crystal fire,
A throng of angels round her flag,
A wingéd holy choir.
Then at last the leaguer broke,
The English left the field,
And Joan held fast the gate of France,
For France would never yield.
To Reims the host of Frenchmen came,
By Maid of Orléans led,
Beneath the spire the Dauphin took,
The crown upon his head.
"Rejoice all men", the good king said,
"Give thanks to God above,
And forget ye not, o men of France,
This maiden that thee love."
"Men have fought for winters without an end,
And done no good at all,
But comes a maid from out Lorraine,
With fiery heart within her frame,
Wisdom beyond her little years,
Nobler still than noble peers,
And ne'r shall France now fall."
Sunbeams kissed the face of France,
The moon was clear as glass,
The stars shone out like diadems,
And flowers filled the grass.
For the king was come in victory,
And Joan was at his side,
The saintly maid was his great hope,
And hope did she betide.
But Joan pressed on with mighty strength,
To face the foe again,
For France was full with armies still,
And full with warlike men.
With banner and shield she went to war,
The saintly lily bloom,
And pierced the foe with holy cries,
And spoke their sudden doom.
But Burgundy did roughly fight,
That maid of good renown,
They took her in a chain of iron,
Out to the foeman's town.
For ten thousand golden pieces,
They gave that saint of God,
To evil men who hated,
The very ground she trod.
A court was called in Rouen old,
And cowed by English arms,
The bishops and the noblemen,
Denounced her harmless harms.
Joan stood fast as on a rock,
And held against their lies,
But none would seek for justice,
No none would good reprise.
"Are ye in the grace of God?",
A coward bishop asked,
"Answer us, thou Frankish witch,
Or sunrise be thy last."
"If not in grace I do now live,
May God grant that I may be,
And if I am in grace indeed,
God grant I never flee."
The court was silent as the stones,
That in the graveyard sit,
For how could simple peasantry,
Give answers like to this?
But oft the tradesman weighs the scales,
And courts are some the same,
And thus the court a verdict gave,
To man's eternal shame.
Saint Joan was to a pillar tied,
And wood was piled round,
Of death the verdict grimly spoke,
Her guilt they lying found.
Fierce fire leapt about poor Joan,
But beaming broad she smiled,
For three saints spoke within the flames,
And their words were mild.
"Fear not," said Michael, "for thou art blessed",
Thy soul shall soar on high,
The author of all things shall greet thee,
Thy hour of life is nigh."
"Thy work is done and France is saved",
Saint Catherine said to Joan,
"Go ye now to just reward,
Before the Maker's throne."
"Lift up thy heart to God on high",
Saint Margaret said at length,
"And be not feared of coming death,
For Christ is all thy strength."
Three words cried Joan for lord and love,
"Jesu!" in speechless pain,
"Jesu!" she cried amid the smoke,
And "Jesu!" she cried again.
The wood burned up with hellish haste,
The blaze climbed all the higher,
And hungry tongues gorged on her flesh,
And so did Joan expire.
Thus was come an earthly end,
To the honest, Godly maid,
Spotless, good and honest Joan,
In ashy bed was laid.
A wind blew in from out the west,
And lilies filled the air,
A sunny glance broke through the clouds,
And trumpets sounded fair.
The saintly smoke passed into heaven,
Like incense in the nave,
The answered prayer of noble France,
The saviour that God gave.
What crimes have Englishmen now done,
In all our tempest days,
That vie with heathen crimes as these,
Who killed the holy maid?
No redress can England offer now,
Who killed Saint Joan the Good,
Nor till the judgement come on us,
Can wash us of this blood.
Saint Joan of Arc looks down on France,
Her prayers are true as shields,
Her snow-white banner held aloft,
With lilies on its field.
(Dedicated to Saint Joan of Arc, whose feast day falls on the 30th May)

President's Message - June 2016
It is hard to believe that we are almost halfway done with 2016, and summer fun is just around the corner! I'm certainly daydreaming about all the fun that is in store this summer, much of which is going to occur at beautiful St. Simons Island at what my little kids like to call "Daddy's Work Beach". Of course, if you are taking the time to read this message, you probably already know about what is widely regarded as the best statewide conference in all of ITE - the GAITE 2016 Summer Seminar! The Summer Seminar will be held once again at the picturesque King & Prince Beach & Golf Resort on beautiful St. Simons Island from Sunday July 17th through Wednesday July 20th.
The Summer Seminar is an excellent venue to hear great technical presentations, build connections, and enjoy and refresh relationships with your colleagues and family in a picturesque beach setting. Still not convinced that the Summer Seminar is for you? Here are some of the highlights:
While the Summer Seminar committee has been hard at work planning an amazing conference, other committees have also been diligently delivering great activities and programs throughout 2016:

Your roof plays an immensely important role in your business. While your roofing options are numerous and varied, the fact of the matter is that most roofs don't last as long as you were quoted, particularly when they aren't cared for adequately, and that means expensive repairs and even replacements after just a few short years. If you want to avoid this massive cost, you should do what you can to increase your roof's durability, starting with how you attach your roof to your structure. One of the most popular modern attachment methods is to mechanically attach your roof using heat-welded seams. Here are just a few ways in which this method of attachment can benefit your roof.
Modern structures are extremely rigid, durable, and easier to construct than ever before. However, they face many of the same threats and hazards as they have for generations. One such threat is moisture infiltration into the core structure, which can lead to mold and mildew growth on nearly any surface. Wooden structures in buildings also risk softening warping, splintering, and numerous other hazards from moisture. Heat-welding the seams that seal your roof increases your roof's waterproof capabilities, preventing moisture from penetrating into and wreaking havoc on your structure.
Heat-welded seams use metal to seal the seams in your roof where it meets the structure. Metal is an extremely durable material that is capable of withstanding years of exposure to the elements with little to no wear and tear. If you're looking for something that will increase the life of your roof against cold, heat, rain, high winds, and even ultraviolet radiation exposure, metal can do the job perhaps better than any other material out there. The less wear and tear your roof sustains, the longer it will last.
Energy Efficiency
If you have a single-play roofing material on your roof's surface, such as PVC or TPO, using heat-welded seams can actually dramatically increase your energy efficiency rating, even receiving an Energy Star rating. These roofs are extremely UV reflective, meaning they absorb very little heat-producing ultraviolet radiation. This allows your business to stay cooler during the warm days of summer and your air conditioner won't even have to run as often to do it. This is an extremely simple and inexpensive treatment for your roof that could wind up saving you a bundle of money in the future over the life of your roof in energy efficiency alone.
Ease of Repair
You don't have to heat-weld your roof when you install it to gain the benefits, and in fact, heat welding is a popular treatment to give your roof while you're repairing it. If you find your roof is frequently being damaged by high winds or other severe weather, a heat-welded roof can help ensure the issue occurs less frequently. Should a heat-welded seam actually break, resulting in damage to your roof, the issue is actually fairly easy to fix as well.
Want to find out more about heat-welded seams to make your roof more durable and secure? Bronco Roofing & Construction has provided high-quality roofing services and premium materials to business for more than 25 years. Our Fort Worth roofers are highly-trained in the latest and greatest roofing technologies and options in order to keep your business protected and functioning smoothly with as little down time as possible. Whether you need a minor repair or major replacement, you can trust that our team will get the job done right the first time and save you a bundle of money, including giving you numerous options to save money on your energy usage and utility bills.To find out more about heat-welded seams and your commercial roofing options, contact Bronco Roofing & Construction today!

The Mershon Center for International Security Studies is the research home for the Peace Studies Program at The Ohio State University. This program has three central areas of emphasis: Teaching, Community Outreach, and Research.
Teaching Peace Studies at Ohio State focuses on both the theory and practice of peace work. It aims to prepare students to work for peace and justice in a variety of local, transnational and international contexts.
Peace Studies Minor - Undergraduate courses in peace studies are delivered through the International Studies Program. Four Peace Studies courses including a popular introductory course and upper level theory and practice courses are currently offered on an annual basis through International Studies. We are in the process of developing additional courses that can be offered annually and identifying existing courses across various departments that may count for credit toward a Peace Studies focus. See the Peace Studies Minor handout
Graduate Certificate in Peace Studies – Following the completion of the Peace Studies undergraduate minor curriculum, we will begin work on an online Graduate Certificate in Peace Studies. Coursework in this certificate program will focus on applied skills in managing Peace Studies activities and organizations.
Peace Education and Training Repository (PETR) – The Peace Program has received external funding to develop an online peace education archive.The repository will house peace education and training materials from around the world in an easily accessible and flexibly searchable format. The educational materials will be made freely available via the Internet in order to support peace education efforts across both local and global communities. PETR will also facilitate international collaboration among peace educators and trainers.
Community Outreach
Community outreach will occur primarily through events and activities hosted at the Mershon Center for International Security Studies. While some of our teaching and research activities also involve community outreach components (such as the PETR and the NVC experimental studies), our primary community outreach activities are:
Conferences – An international conference was held in November 2012 commemorated the 20th anniversary of the UN's An Agenda for Peace. An edited volume on the same topic is being prepared for publication. The Peace Initiative also co-hosted the 10th and 11th International Conferences on Conflict Resolution Education in 2016 and 2017. The Peace Initiative also partnered with the Mershon Center in 2017 to host a conference focused on media representations of war and violence in 2017, which brought together academics, journalists, and peace activists to discuss how editorial decisions on war reporting influence popular attitudes toward conflict.
Student Engagement – In spring 2013 the newly established Ohio State University Student Peace Studies Society awarded the first Student Peace Prizes to two Ohio State students. The Mershon Center provided financial and logistical support to the event. Building upon the success of the 2013 event, The Peace Studies Society hosted a student peace conference and award event in January 2014. The program for this event included a peace-building workshop conducted by Compassionate Communication of Columbus, and a roundtable discussion on peace building by academics and practitioners. The event attracted Ohio State students, faculty, and members of the Columbus community.
Business Engagement – The Business for Peace Initiative was started in September 2013. Recognizing that businesses do better in peaceful and stable societies, and that businesses can play an important role in building peace the Initiative is being set up with the long-term goal of establishing an Ohio State Business for Peace Center. In the short to medium-term the initiative will focus on developing a network of likeminded business leaders who will meet regularly with researchers, practitioners and policy makers to share ideas and knowledge. Engagement by the business community is vital to the relevance, sustainability and overall success of this initiative.
The Business for Peace Initiative held its inaugural events in March and April of 2014. In March we convened the Business for Peace Collaborative: Panel Discussion, hosted by Ann Fisher of WOSU. The panel brought faculty from Ohio State, University of Nebraska, and Hebrew University in Jerusalem together with Ohio State students and community members to discuss the role of business engagement with the peace process. In April we met with a group of interested business leaders from the Columbus area to discuss the development of practical initiatives through with the Mershon Center can foster and promote peace both at the local and international levels. We are continuing to develop our engagement with the business community in fostering peace education and peace building.
Chair of Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution – The Chair of Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution enables Ohio State to pursue in-depth studies of nonviolent resolutions to conflict. The current chair holder, Christopher Gelpi, is engaged in a variety of peace research activities. He is currently engaged in research on American public opinion and the use of military force, the role of trade and economic exchange in promoting peace, and on statistical models for forecasting military conflict and transnational terrorist violence.
Experimental Evaluation of Non-Violent Communication – The Chair of Peace Studies, Christopher Gelpi, and graduate associate Kara Hooser are developing a research project that will evaluate the effectiveness of Non-Violent Communication training on the attitudes of ethnic diaspora groups in the Columbus area toward competing diaspora groups. The research will begin with a focus on the impact of NVC training on attitudes toward clan rivalries in the Somali diaspora community.
Peace Research Fellowships – The Chair of Peace Studies grants research fellowships each year to graduate students who are conducting research on peace related topics. These fellowships are used to support Ohio State graduate students in launching their own peace research agendas.
Program Development
We would like to secure long-term support for our project on the experimental evaluation of peace education curricula. We believe that this project has the potential to provide critical knowledge about the consequences and effectiveness of peace education both to academics and to practitioners of peace. Moreover, we believe that this project provides an unusual opportunity to extend the work and contributions of the Mershon Center and the Ohio State University outward into our community and the world.

The nominations for the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month award for November have been announced.
They are as follows:-
Dougie Freedman (Bolton Wanderers)

Oscar Garcia (Brighton and Hove Albion)
The Spaniard quietly restored resilience to Brighton while developing their passing style. His team earned 10 points from four matches, three of them away, including a 1-0 win at Wigan Athletic.
Brian McDermott (Leeds United)
Nine points from a possible 12 instilled a consistency during November which has made McDermott's Leeds genuine promotion contenders. The manager has fashioned a well-rounded forward line which attacks at pace.
Nigel Pearson (Leicester City)
Pearson has developed his side into a thrilling attacking force, going forward at will and creating chances aplenty. Three wins from four games took Leicester to the top of the Sky Bet Championship table with eight goals scored.

Socks, Old Saw mill and Petroglyphs
I cast on these socks in the beginning of June when we had some great warm summer weather. Now all the pretty wildflowers are in bloom and matches my Fabel yarn leftovers socks perfectly :)
Ravelry project page
Pattern: 64 sts, 5 rows with colour 1, *1 row with colour 2, 1 row with colour 1, 5 rows with colour 2*. Repeat from *-*, but change colours. German short row heel.
Yarn: Fabel #102 (cuff, heel and toe), #161p and #904
Needles: 2,5 mm / US 1.5
We went on a small road trip the other day and visited an old saw mill from 1796 - Aursfjordsaga.
Lots of beautiful hand craft!
We also stopped by a rock carving site or petroglyphs at Tennes. The oldest ones here are 7000 years old.
Some of the carvings was hard to see because they have decided to stop painting them red, so many of them had faded a lot or had no paint left.

Way cool! The socks are just gorgeous.ReplyDelete
How neat to see petroglyphs up close like that. What a way to communicate.ReplyDelete
beautiful outing and I'm envious you are in pants and a sweater! lovely socks.ReplyDelete
Nydelige sokker. Og dere har altså vært på tur midt i nabolaget mitt til to plasser som jeg aldri har fått somlet meg til å besøke. Så nå ble jeg veldig inspirert. Har du funnet noe info på nettet om når saga er åpen? Eller må man bare dra på lykke og fromme?ReplyDeleteReplies
Takk :)Delete
Er kjekt å oppdage at det finnes små perler man kan besøke i nærområdet.
Nå om sommeren er saga åpen på torsdager og da vi var der var det mulig å kjøpe seg kaffe og vafler :)
The petroglyphs are amazing! I always think of rock carvings as being inside caves.ReplyDelete

Kate and William attended a gala on Thursday and all eyes were on the Duchess! According to E! News, Kate wore a black lace, floor-length Diane von Furstenberg gown. The pregnant royal completed her look with an elegant low curled hairstyle and diamond dangle earrings. Naturally, everyone was checking out Kate's mid-section and if you look real close, you can just see the makings of a baby bump.
See all the stunning pictures of Kate Middleton's night at the Royal Variety Performance! http://t.co/vUbptTSKFf pic.twitter.com/YcY96xz0D2

— Harper's Bazaar (@harpersbazaarus) November 13, 2014
Kate and William mingled at the gala, shaking hands with the members of One Direction, as evidenced by the photo above. Kate had a huge smile on her face as she shook hands with heartthrob Harry Styles. According to Mail Online, Kate Middleton is 16 weeks pregnant, and while you may not be able to tell just yet, Harry congratulated the Duchess on her "bump."
"I said congratulations on the bump," Harry said, admitting after that Kate "didn't look bumpy." The other guys in the group weren't too chatty.
"It's the most nervous I think I've ever been in my life," said Liam Payne.
"I didn't say ma'am. I said — Hi. How are you? I'm Louis," explained Louis Tomlinson, likely forgetting his manners because he was in awe.
Meanwhile Prince William — who looked dapper in a black tux — told the guys that he'd been keeping tabs on their career. Evidently William is a fan — but he was probably keeping a close eye on Harry, to make sure he didn't "steal his girl."
Kate and William attended the gala together as part of their royal duties. Since Kate Middleton is doing better following a bout of hyperemesis gravidarum, she is back on schedule. Because she was forced to cancel a couple of engagements, she has been doing a bit more lately. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Kate is rumored to be heading to New York City with Prince William and the couple's son, Prince George, next month. Originally, Kate was not slated to go across the pond but palace sources say that she will make the trip to sort of make up for missing a few of her previous engagements. This would be Kate's first trip to the Big Apple, a place she says that she has wanted to visit since she was a young girl.

Being fashionable is an intimidating thought for many people. They see many people wearing elaborate clothing and thinking that they could never do that. The reality is that looking good and having fashion sense is much simpler than you think. This article on fashion will show you exactly how simple it is.
Jeans are easy to dress up with a button down shirt and some high heels, but this works best if your jeans are black. Lighter washes and bright colors are better for casual looks.
Try to build your own unique look. Instead of following the crowd, be unique and create your own personal style. Of course, you will need the confidence to pull it off, but taking the leap and marching to the beat of your own drummer will probably score you more compliments than you think.
If your hair is normally frizzy, use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. A layer of moisturizer will protect the cuticle and prevent it from absorbing the dampness in the air. Keep away from products that say "volumizing," which includes ingredients such as rice and wheat.
Clean your closet from time to time. While you may think having more clothes means you have more options, this is not the truth. A closet that is packed full and is cluttered only limits you. Get rid of clothes that you don't wear anymore so you know what options you have available. Classic clothing that can be mixed and matched will be of more use to you that stuff from past decades that you've been holding on to.
Is dressing fashionably a little less intimidating to you after what you have learned from this article? Stop feeling intimidated. You can create different looks with just about any garment. Make use of these tips, and unleash your fashionable side.

The Century Of Self: Happiness Machines (Episode 1)
This episode is about Sigmund Freud's American nephew, Edward Bernays. Bernays is almost completely unknown today, but his influence on the 20th Century was nearly as great as his uncle's – because Bernays was the first person to take Freud's ideas about human beings and use them to manipulate the masses.
The Psychology of Propaganda
Like all science, psychology has the potential to be used for good or bad. For instance, psychology is the secret ingredient in all powerful propaganda that is used to manipulate the thinking, emotions, and behaviors of massive groups of people (i.e., the masses).
Propaganda is age-old. But in the early 20th Century, Edward Bernays began promoting an organized approach to psychology-driven propaganda. His goal was to help governments and large corporations become more successful.
The Motive of Propaganda
So, is all propaganda bad? We must ask ourselves…. What is the motive behind this message? What ultimate outcome does it support? Who would benefit from such an outcome, and who would be negatively impacted?
Perhaps an effective campaign program designed to avert climate change is worthwhile propaganda. Perhaps propaganda that stirs up fear and readies people for war, is not. You be the judge.
The Prevalence of Propaganda
You find propaganda everywhere: Television commercials, political rhetoric, schools, even church pulpits, and most certainly in every department of Public Relations. In fact, Edward Bernays was instrumental in replacing the straight-forward term "propaganda" with the euphemistic phrase "public relations."
The Awareness of Propaganda
Don't allow the prevalence of insidious, insinuating propaganda make you feel paranoid. That is no fun.
Instead, play a game of awareness. When you're confronted with a manipulative message, ask yourself – Is this something that would actually increase my happiness and well-being? Try to catch yourself, before unwittingly taking the bait or getting reeled in.
Propaganda Depends on Emotion
Propaganda depends on emotion over reason. Why? Because people are easily led by emotion, whether it's fear, anger, lust, or love. While relying on this very aspect of the human condition, Bernays considered the masses to be "stupid." And, well… his techniques work. (Just ask Rush Limbaugh.)
Here's how I see it. It is not stupid or weak to feel emotion. Emotions are a vital part of our psyche, particularly when it comes to personal relationships. But you can choose when to be in feeling-mode or thinking-mode.
Wear Your Critical-Thinking Cap
Save your feeling-mode for personal relationships and artistic expression. Save your feeling-mode for the breathtaking wonders of God and Nature.
Otherwise, wear your critical-thinking cap. The powers-that-be are trying to persuade you!

Suprasensible: a project on astral bodies and invisible planes
Mexican artist Santiago Borja takes over the emblematic Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Montjuïc (built for the German representation at the 1929 International Exposition held in Barcelona) for the month of July and two weeks in August, with a project focused on astral bodies and invisible planes. 'Suprasensible' (which literally translates to 'Supersensitive') is the latest work by the young artist who originally trained as an architect. In more recent times, however, he has turned to creating installations using varied spaces around the world to explore the connection between art, architecture and ethnology – over the past few years, he's exhibited in Los Angeles, London, Mexico City and Dublin, among other places. At the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion, you'll discover videos, photos and sculptures that Borja uses to juxtapose visual arts and architecture, esoterism and geometric shapes, abstraction and colour. Perhaps most strikingly, Borja has also designed a textile cover for the interior pavilion. If you're already familiar with this modernist building at the foot of Montjuïc, this is a chance to discover a new reading of it; and if not, the efforts of Santiago Borja provide an added dimension to one of the city's already noteworthy constructions.

Barking Mad Animal Rescue
Spay & Neuter for Pet's Sake!
It takes BIG BUCKS to run a rescue....
$1.00 Monthly Button
$5.oo Monthly Button
$10.00 Monthly Button
But you can do it for $1 a month!
The Challenge:
BMAR costs $9,000 per month to run at full capacity & that's without ANY extras! Unfortunately, we lost 90% of our donors due to disasters. But we still have animals to care for and even more to save! So instead of folding and shipping our animals off to high kill shelters...we are turning to you & The $1.00 Challenge!
That's less than giving up 1 fountain drink per month...and you run a rescue! Sign up with the $1 button above and we will get it every month...you are saving a rescue! Worth it? You bet! We pull over 250 dogs a year off the streets, from the euthanasia lists, from abuse, from abandonment...that's the dogs you see starving when you drive by...the dogs you see being kicked, hit, dumped... We know you would like to help. But how many can you take home? You are already stretched thin. You have your own pets, your kids, your job. But we can and do take them. And you can be a part of it for $1 per month.
We get zero government dollars. We don't have a set amount coming in on a specific day. The $1 challenge...if filled...guarantees that we can run the rescue. If we can count on $1 challenge funds every month...we can get on the ball and fund raise for extra vet work, flea pills, transport, urgent dogs, and puppy mill dogs! For every 500 people that sign up OVER the challenge (that's $500 in money speak) we can save as many as 10 puppy mill dogs per month!
The Hard Part....
Getting 9000 people to donate $1 per month. We can't do it, can you? How many pet loving relatives do you have? Whether it's 1 or 100...ask them to get on board. Got an email contact list? Email them and see if any will jump on board. Post on your Facebook page, Instagram, any way you have to make it public. Beg them, we do! Everyone wants to help, but let's face it -times are tough and funds are limited. But 1 soda per month turns into $1 for us and you can be a part of removing hundreds of dogs & cats a year off the streets, getting them care, food, shelter, and a new home! Are YOU up to the $1.00 Challenge?
Look at what we do....
We change his life! He turned into a real love bug and made a beautiful and loving companion. He was adopted by Mr. Garza and is living a great life in Manvel, TX.
Life Saving Surgery!
Who does this?
Or how about the "old timers" that no one wants? They get a whole new forever life here:
Medical Problems? We take those too....
Lifers? They can't be adopted...
Bait Dog - He's sweet BUT so much damage to his face caused a Saliva Gland Problem...have to lance every 2 days and drain them...
Maximus developed a severe reaction to men in particular and anybody new. He was being trained for service and doing well...and then he saw someone and snapped...he will remain with me. He feels safe here.
He Bites...bad. He has to live with me -period. If he goes somewhere else and gets out he would be euthanized immediately. So he stays.
Princess, I don't think she can make it in a world with men.
Anything over the challenge...saves puppy mill dogs like these:
Do you know what happens to these dogs after the breeder finishes with them? Shot, drowned, head stomped in or knocked in with a hammer, very seldom are they humanely disposed of. It's ALL about the money with these type breeders. BMAR can pull these dogs, save these dogs, give them a chance to be a beloved pet for the last few years of their lives after being used for breeding factories in cages for their whole existence. We can do it with the $1 challenge! Are you up for it? We are! Sign up now...and share, share, share....everyone has a spare dollar!

What is the ONE thing you need to have a successful blog?
Great blog content, lots of posts, how about an AUDIENCE.
The secret to marketing is having an audience to share your blog with, and for them to share it with others. This is something that EVERY writer wants: a popular blog!
A blog that has thousands of followers, profitable and everyone reads on a daily basis. Well, this can be difficult to have when few people know about your blog. One little mistake can ruin your marketing efforts, and that mistake is not having an audience waiting to receive your next blog post!
Its great that you have hundreds of blog posts, and you keep adding more each week, but how much traffic are you getting? How many clients can reach you? DO clients reach you at all?
Dont let your blog fall through the cracks!
There is no reason why your blog content should have to go unnoticed online. In order to create an audience, you have to go where you know your blog will be appreciated and share it like crazy!
I'm talking about telling people about it left and right.
Know anyone that needs some writing advice, or anyone that is looking for new blogs to read? Share a link with them! One of the mistakes that many writers make is that they feel like they need to have a certain amount of posts already published before they share their blogs with anyone, or in any website.
Well, this is not exactly true!
Honestly, I have been sharing my blog for quite some time now, and at the very beginning I only had about 3 blog posts, and people liked it. Some even shared my blog with others, and so on..
Dont be afraid to share your work! Show that you love it, and you are proud of it.
Many writers create a facebook page for their blogs or businesses, and it's a great opportunity to share information with hundreds of people at the same time, you can also set up accounts on other social media outlets to give your blog the proper attention.
Do you have a goal for your blog?
If you have a long-term goal for your blog such as expanding your area of expertise, or creating another extension of it, then let others know about, and share those goals with your audience.
If you want to establish an audience for your blog, you should have a goal for your blog to keep people interested. For example, if you are looking to add more information about blogging, you should think about adding a free ebook containing information for your audience, and an incentive for more people to come to your blog.
If you dont want to give away a free ebook yet, you can do something else like put away time during the day to have people ask you a question, or give you an idea for your blog.
The whole point of this is to constantly have eyes on your blog, and slowly build your audience, to make your blog profitable. Many writers make it their mission to make sure this happens as early as two or three months! So, it can be done, you just need to practice!
Keep Your Audience Interested
Ok, so you have a great audience. What are you doing to keep them interested?
One of the problems that can happen to blogs as time passes, is this: People will begin to lose interest.
Yep, all that time that you spent making people interested in your blog, just to have people lose interest in it… Its not great!
Keeping your audience interested can be difficult, but it can also be fun, if you let it be!
Try giving away something for free, promoting an event or if you are expanding your business, try giving someone a chance to work one-on-one with you at no charge. Not only will this keep the interest of your followers, but it might also bring you more business in the future!
What do you think? Great Information? Or should I cover more?
Let me know! Comment

Asbury Park, NJ, Celebrates Music and Film
Budget Travel's Coolest Small Town in America 2017 is throwing a major party in April, and the price is right.
Last spring, Budget Travel named Asbury Park, NJ, the Coolest Small Town in America 2017. This spring, more than 20,000 people will savor AP's coolness by attending the annual Asbury Park Music & Film Festival (April 27 - 29, apmff.org).
With festival tickets starting at $20, Budget Travelers will swarm iconic Asbury Park venues like the Wonder Bar, Stone Pony, and Paramount Theatre to catch acts that include Sublime with Rome, an evening with Danny DeVito, Built to Spill, North Mississippi All-Stars, Low Cut Connie, Bobby Bandiera, and more.
This shore town has been a hotbed of American music for decades, including the classic bandstand concerts of the early 20th century and the rock and soul scene of the '60s and '70s that gave birth to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, David Sancious, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, and Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul.
Speaking of rock and soul, a beautiful exhibit of images of Asbury Park's musical greats shot by photographer Danny Clinch is on display at Soundbooth, the lobby bar at the newly opened Asbury Hotel (theasburyhotel.com), which has a book-one-night-get-the-second-night-free offer through May 24. Asbury Park offers an array of reliable and affordable lodging that gets you close to the beach, boardwalk, restaurants, and music.

Printing costs - two strategies to reduce an expensive cost
1. Use Mono or draft printing as a default
Toner and ink cartridges can produce great images and results on paper but if the print is only going end up the bin in-house then why print in anything else but draft or mono?
Ok colour charts are needed from time to time but these can also be printed in draft. Unless the print is destined for a client or another important Third party using full resolution and so much toner and ink is really not necessary.
The savings vary between printers and the effectiveness of the software driver and can be as high as 25%. There are a number of specialist printing utilities that claim to save up to 70% by reducing the overlapping of ink jet dots and toner impressions.
If you do not know just how much you are already spending then a quick accounting exercise will prove that even a modest saving is likely to be worthwhile having.
2. Print to PDF and email to recipients
The increase in use of PDF formats to send documents is very visible in most Inboxes. Good examples are invoices and statements which most businesses are capable of generating and sending automatically from accounting systems.
Microsoft Office 2013 includes a 'Save to pdf' format as standard and enables most correspondence to be received and printed as originally designed to.
The savings with this option are potentially huge and must be considered.
