This guest post from Progressions Director Julie Rinard recaps the field trip Progressions students recently took to see an open dress rehearsal by the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra.
Thanks to the support of Haynes & Boone, LLP, Santa Clara Vanguard and San Jose Jazz, Progressions students and family members took a field trip to watch the dress rehearsal of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra last Saturday.
Progressions brass instructor and former member of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra Andrew Hill (trombone) organized the trip, which was an eye-opening experience for our students and family members. Students were inspired by Davies Symphony Hall, the stage and the high quality of the orchestra. On the trip back, one flute student who had previously aspired to be a soccer player and inventor modified her career aspirations: "After going on this field trip," she said, "I have decided I also want to be a musician."
Students especially enjoyed the percussion pieces at the beginning of the program (the first movement of Nebojša Jovan Živković's Trio per Uno and Steve Reich's Nagoya Marimbas). One Progressions trombone student even had a chance to interact with the trombone coach (Assistant Principal Trombonist of the San Francisco Symphony, Nick Platoff) and asked if he could follow along with the score.
The camaraderie among the students and family members on the bus ride home was palpable. Members of the Progressions team said everyone seemed unified by the shared experience of doing something new and inspirational together for the very first time.
This excursion to see the San Francisco Youth Symphony Orchestra was the third SJZ-organized field trip this spring for Progressions students. On March 3-4, Santee students traveled to San Francisco to participate in a San Francisco Maritime National Parks Association trip entitled "Age of Sail."
Through this trip, the clocks of time were turned back to 1906 and students were immersed in an 18-hour journey through the past on a real ship. The program encourages students to develop self-confidence and self-reliance, which in turn fosters a sense of responsibility for themselves, their shipmates, and their community. More recently, Progressions students participated in SJZ's International Jazz Day celebrations in Downtown San Jose on April 30.
The Progressions team is grateful to our donors and supporters who make this kind of experience possible for our, inquisitive students.
Find out more about the SJZ Progressions program on our Progressions page. The program is also collecting instruments in advance of the upcoming school year in the fall. If you have an instrument you'd like to donate, email email@example.com or visit our instrument donation page.

Buying a new home is a big consideration. Perhaps you have narrowed down your choices between modular and manufactured homes. Both can have beautiful designs, adequate square footage, and easy financing, but there are a lot of differences to ponder. Fort Morgan, Alabama is set on the beautiful Gulf Coast where sunshiny beaches make it a perfect area for a permanent residence or a vacation home. Emerald Coast Modular Homes is your premier modular home builder in the area. We have provided valuable answers to your questions about making your home-buying decision easier.
Differences in Modular and Manufactured Homes
Manufactured homes were once called trailers, due to the fact that each unit had a steel chassis and wheels and could be transported. A modular home sometimes referred to as prefabricated home, is placed on a permanent foundation. The most noted positive differences between modular homes include:
- Ability to Customize
- Higher Resale Value
- Better Interest Rates
- Approved Building Codes
What Sets Modular Homes Apart?
A modular home is often confused with a manufactured home. However, you get more options when you choose a modular home: Manufactured homes are normally ranch style in design, while modular homes can be crafted to include second stories or custom designs.
Modular homes are more expensive than manufactured homes because of the quality of materials used, increased square footage and stronger structural integrity. The price per square foot will be higher than a manufactured home, but not as high as a conventional frame home — and a modular home can be erected much faster, with less mess on the construction site. Modular homes are also more widely accepted in communities where frame homes are located.
Are Modular Homes a Good Investment?
Well-built modular homes will see an increase in equity. Further additions like garages, sunrooms, and decks further add to the value. These homes are financed through a mortgage just like any other permanent-based house.
On the other hand, manufactured homes generally decrease in value as they age. The only difference between a frame home and a modular is the location where it is built. Modular home sections are built off-site and inside where weather conditions do not dictate a building deadline. The sections are then transported to the job site where construction and finishing are completed. That means a faster construction process that is easier to complete on time!
Can a Modular Home be Custom Designed?
Our team at Emerald Coast Modular Homes prides itself on working with each customer to deliver a custom home. Some of these features include:
- Green Building Standards
- Increased Insulation
- Specific Details
Designs from other builders can be used as starting points in creating the home of your dreams. Long-term living, comfort, and quality are our goals with each home we build. Our craftsmen are trained and experienced in meeting and exceeding customer expectations. The Fort Morgan area can receive hurricane-force winds, and it takes a special team to build a quality structure with this in mind. In addition, details such as fireplaces, type of trim and color schemes are just as important when you are the customer. Fort Morgan modular homes built by Emerald Coast Modular Homes will go far beyond your expectations when it comes to quality and design options. Make plans to meet with our designers today to realize your perfect home!

The calm after the storm is also a nice feeling, as the sun shines on the fresh new snow it creates a clean and sparkly look. One of my favorite things about Winter in Maine is the beauty and quiet after a fresh snow. With Christmas around the corner a fresh blanket of snow is welcome, but in my opinion, if we are celebrating Winter in Maine snow is welcome through February (too bad it will still snow through April though right!?).

Tis the Season!
As I type the snow is falling and the wind is howling! The first real storm of the year is always so exciting. The rush at the grocery store the day before, the lines at the gas station full of plow trucks, and of course the buzz from everyone canceling/making plans. To hear any complaints about the weather this early in the season is quite obnoxious - I mean, HELLO, this is Maine after all.

WOODLAND PARK, N.J. – When Hector Tejeda Santos told his pregnant wife and two young daughters to flee Honduras and meet him in the United States, he said he hoped they would find peace of mind in Texas.
Instead, he learned in June that his family was detained at the U.S.-Mexico border. His wife was taken to Port Isabel Detention Center in Los Fresnos, Texas, and his daughters, Serli, 5, and Cecia, 9, were shipped off to the Cayuga foster care center in the East Harlem neighborhood of New York City.
He's been trying to get his daughters released ever since.
"You can't imagine how much I've suffered," Santos, 32, who is in Galveston, Texas, said in a Spanish-language phone interview. "My daughters cry and cry. My wife is detained with a baby I'm not seeing grow."
Santos' wife and daughters were among the more than 2,000 families separated under the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" policy, which called for the criminal prosecution of people who illegally crossed the Southwest border.
July 11: Who is Dana Sabraw? 5 things to know about judge who ordered reunification of immigrant families
The federal government scrambled to reunite dozens of families with children under age 5 by Tuesday to meet a deadline imposed by U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw. The judge also ordered the government to reunite children ages 5 and up by July 26.
The government did not reunite all migrant children in that age bracket with their parents in time, despite Sabraw's insistence that the government must streamline its process to meet the deadlines and reunite the separated families.
When asked about family separations Tuesday, President Donald Trump said the answer is to "tell people not to come to our country illegally. That's the solution. Don't come to our country illegally."
Santos, who entered the country earlier this year with his oldest daughter, planned to travel to New York City with his lawyer, Ricardo de Anda, to pick up his daughters. But has an ankle monitor pending the results of his asylum petition and was told he couldn't leave the area without permission from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The agency did not grant him permission, de Anda said.
Santos' wife, Denise Santos, 30, was supposed to be released so she could be reunited with the girls at Cayuga, but de Anda said, Immigration and Customs Enforcement kept her detained without explanation.
Instead, de Anda and Michael Avenatti, a Los Angeles attorney best known for representing Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who has sued Trump over an alleged affair and $130,000 that she said she was paid to keep quiet about it, held a news conference Wednesday morning outside of Cayuga Centers in East Harlem to call for the reunification of the Santos family.
"This is not acceptable," said Avenatti on Wednesday morning. "This is not our America. For months now, this cruel and unusual president has been holding children hostage in the name of politics."
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has released other immigrant parents so they can be reunited with their children, according to the Associated Press. Those parents were outfitted with ankle bracelets while their cases are heard.
It is unclear whether Denise Santos is supposed to be released under those circumstances. An ICE spokeswoman declined to comment on her detainment and her separation from her daughters.
Avenatti said the chances of Denise Santos being released could be good, but "I'm seriously doubtful because of these draconian policies, because of how stringent they're being enforced."
Avenatti said several mothers he represents have been deported without their children.
Hector Tejeda Santos said he worries about his wife, who is four months pregnant. He said she doesn't get sunlight and has trouble sleeping. Denise Santos recently had a fever and received no medical attention, he said.
"I don't know what's happening with this government because that's not the kind of life for a pregnant woman," he said.
Seeking a 'normal life'
Hector Tejeda Santos and his wife raised their family in Olancho, a department on the eastern side of Honduras.
He and his lawyer declined to discuss why his family left and applied for asylum, but his family's move comes as countless Hondurans flee the country over gang violence terrorizing their neighborhoods.
The U.S. State Department considers Honduras a high-risk area because of violent crime, according to a Jan. 10 travel advisory.
Hector Tejeda Santos and his daughter Karen, 14, came to the United States in January and stayed in Galveston. Karen started taking English as a Second Language and plans to start ninth grade in the fall. He said she wants to study medicine and become a doctor.
Hector Tejeda Santos said he also hoped to enroll his younger daughters in school and support his wife through her pregnancy.
"I want them to have a normal life. I want my daughters to have a place where they can study, where I can buy them new shoes and clothes," he said, "a place safe from whatever dangers we used to face."
Despite the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration, Hector Tejeda Santos said he didn't expect his family to get split up while seeking asylum.
"I want the federal government to know we're human beings," he said. "They should understand because they're mothers and fathers, too."

Reuben Foster has been fined two game checks and reinstated to the Washington Redskins' active roster after an N.F.L. investigation into an incident of domestic violence found that the linebacker had not violated the league's personal conduct policy.
The league announced Foster's fine for two games this season and his new status on Friday. Foster will be allowed to participate in all team activities, which includes Washington's off-season program that begins next week.
Foster avoided being suspended in the aftermath of a November domestic violence arrest, which set off a review by the N.F.L. based on his previous violations of league policies.
Prosecutors in Tampa, Fla., decided in January not to pursue a domestic violence case against Foster, 25, dismissing a first-degree misdemeanor battery charge.
Foster served a two-game suspension in 2018 in connection with an off-season misdemeanor gun possession charge in California. He pleaded no contest to that charge, He was also charged that year with a misdemeanor related to marijuana possession in Alabama, a case that was dropped.
"Everyone in this league is held to a higher standard," Redskins President Bruce Allen said. "Reuben understands that his past actions have led a lot of people to doubt him, and he has committed to doing the work necessary to earn the trust of his teammates, our great fans, and the N.F.L."
Foster was arrested at the San Francisco 49ers' hotel in Tampa in November, on the night before a game, and jailed overnight after a companion accused him of hurting her. Police identified the companion as the same woman who accused Foster of hitting her in February 2017. She recanted those allegations.
The 49ers released Foster after the November arrest, and the Redskins claimed him off waivers but acknowledged that he might never play for them. He was placed on the commissioner's exempt list after Washington claimed him, and he spent the rest of the season on it, collecting a salary but unable to play.
Foster is now cleared to return and play next season.
"I am grateful to the Washington Redskins and the N.F.L. for giving me this second chance," Foster said. "I accept the N.F.L.'s decision and want to say that I am truly sorry for my past actions and the people who may have been hurt by them."
The league said Foster had acknowledged responsibility for his actions and had committed to a comprehensive plan, developed in conjunction with the N.F.L. Players Assocation and the Redskins, to avoid future incidents. Allen said the plan included counseling, weekly meetings with the team's player engagement director and chaplain, and some community service.
"We have been very clear with Reuben that his past does not have to determine his future — but the responsibility is squarely on him to change," Allen said. "Reuben must fully adhere to the plan we have developed for him. Reuben knows that we simply will not tolerate any future conduct that is detrimental to the Washington Redskins organization or to the N.F.L."
The league said it had told Foster that any future incidents would most likely result in more substantial discipline. Foster has so far played 16 regular-season games for San Francisco, which took him in the 31st spot of the first round in the 2017 draft.
"Going forward, I will follow the plan outlined for me and work hard to earn back the trust of my teammates, the N.F.L., N.F.L. fans and the community," Foster said. "I know that my success is all up to me, and I am committed to not letting you down."

The Trump administration is changing the way it regulation radiation exposure and upgrades to industrial facilities in recognition of new scientific finding concerning the health and environmental impacts of regulations.
Jay Lehr, science director at The Heartland Institute, explores new findings that expose the mal-regulation of exposure to low doses of radiation that has limited access to useful medical therapies and raised the costs of nuclear energy. Lehr also discusses how changes the Trump administration is making to policies regulating industrial efficiency improvements will lower costs while enhancing environmental quality.

Ever since I was little, unagi was one of my favorite Japanese dishes. A sweet-salty sauce is brushed on an eel fillet and grilled until caramelized. You may be hesitant to give it a try because it is eel, but it just tastes like tender fish. Nowadays, you can purchase already prepared eel at many Asian markets. All you have to do is pop it in the oven and it's ready to serve. In fact, I can rarely find eel fillets without the Japanese tare sauce already brushed on. I wanted to step my lunch a step further and prepare unagi don, a donburi type bowl with sweet simmered eggs on steamed rice. The combination is unbeatable!
Serves 2382
25 minTotal Time
- 2-3 cups rice, cooked
- 8 ounces unagi fillet
- 6 eggs
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp sake
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 avocado, sliced
- nori for garnish
- Heat unagi fillet in the oven at 350 degrees until warm, about 5-8 minutes. Alternatively, heat on the grill over medium heat.
- Heat non-stick saute pan over medium heat. Whisk eggs and add soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan and pour in the egg mixture. Cover and let cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. The eggs should still be wet but set. Remove from heat.
- Portion rice into bowls. Top with eggs and unagi. Finish with crumbled nori and avocado slices. Serve immediately.
**Helpful tips and common mistakes
If you are unable to find the already prepared version of unagi, you can make it yourself at home. The unagi sauce is simply a combination of soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake. You can also find unagi sauce sold in many Asian markets. I like to prepare a batch of the sauce and add it to other meats, fried eggs, meaty vegetables like mushrooms or eggplant, and even ramen noodles.
Cook the rice in a rice cooker, heat up the unagi, and simmer some eggs; it's as easy as that! Whisk the eggs in a bowl with soy sauce, mirin, and sake. Heat a nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and add the eggs, covering the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs have set but not fully cooked. You want the eggs to be still wet; that is the true Japanese way! Remove from heat and distribute rice among the bowls. Carefully pour the eggs over the rice and top with unagi, nori and sliced avocado.
This unagi don was amazingly good. I mean, really good people. I may be a little biased since I already love unagi, but how can you go wrong with eggs, rice, and unagi? If you're still questioning if you should give this a try, I recommend just preparing the eggs with the rice. That alone is already delicious!

Law enforcement officials around the world are on high alert this week as ISIS calls for a surge of civilian attacks during Islam's "Night of Power," the holiest day on the Islamic calendar, which this year begins Wednesday evening.
Known in Arabic as "Laylat al-Qadr," it marks the night during the holy month of Ramadan that Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad received the first revelations of the Quran.
While the vast majority of Muslims consider the occasion as the best time in the year to pray for blessings and forgiveness, jihadist groups such as ISIS exploit the date to urge brutal acts of violence.
Last year, when the Night of Power fell on July 2, a widely shared message pushing for "calamity everywhere for the nonbelievers," was delivered by ISIS. And that night there was a surge of deadly terror attacks.
Unfortunately, most of the people in the 18 to 30 age group didn't study about history in High School. At least not the way we did. That gap is getting wider each year. As a result, they don't recognize the path people like Soros, Carter, Obama, the Clinton's the Bush's and their liberal colleagues want this country to take.
There is plenty of blame to go around. I talked to some kids that graduated from high school this spring. I was amazed at how many didn't even know much about the atrocities caused by Hitler and Stalin against their own people. Even some Jewish kids didn't even know much about the Holocaust. They don't recognize the path that the liberals are following. Many in this age group believe that socialism and government control of our lives is the only answer. On top of that, these young people can vote. I was also in favor of lowering the voting age from 21 to 18. Now that I look back, I believe it was a big mistake.
Many of us in the older generations are also to blame. We blindly trusted the public education system and many of us didn't bother to really look into what our kids were being taught. Many of us put our kids in front of that 19 inch baby sitter and didn't pay attention to what they were watching. I wonder now if parents are paying attention to what their kids are doing on the computer.
We Americans have been too complacent for too long and did not notice all this gradually happening. Soros, Obama, the Clinton's and their liberal colleagues are just a small part of what is happening. This has been in the works long before any of them were even born. History is being forgotten and ignored and, unless we wake up this country will be condemned to repeat it. If Joseph McCarthy was still alive he would be saying "I TOLD YOU SO!" Apathy is the greatest threat to our liberties and freedoms. Not Soros, Obama, the Clinton's or their liberal colleagues. WAKE UP AMERICA!
Very well said. I've tried to say that and it's taken several more posts lol. Thanks for being thorough.
Find them and everyone providing support…execute them…it's called self-defense!
Wouldn't the enemies that we fought wars against in the past, have loved these times around the world. Hitler could have gone on TV and given his impassioned speeches about how he is misunderstood, his ideology misunderstood and we are being Racist, Bigoted and have Naziphobia.
A president like Chamberlain Obama would have brought them into our country by the millions, given them benefits, housing, jobs, food etc. Any of them crossing over our border would get the same. Then they could begin their organizations, have training camps, places where they could openly talk about taking us over, they would have representatives in our congress, be in all our agencies and giving our agencies and military, which they would be in also classes on how to accept them and treat them.
Wow just imagine what that would have led to. OH THAT'S RIGHT WE ARE FINDING OUT DAILY WHAT THAT KIND OF TREATMENT LEADS TO.
"Night of Power" must mean the night when the pigs run loose thru their
ranks and destroy them completely.
All of them need to be killed. They can not live in a civilized world.
Islam needs to be eliminated and banned from ever being taught. Throw their damned book of lies in the fire.
Use their un-holy
book for toilet paper or throw it in a
pig pen, photograph it and post on the internet.
Until the school system is purged of leftist, political correctness dogma and radical left indoctrination…Our future through our youth is at enormous risk as a Nation. We will be destroyed from within. History classes and civic classes must be reconstituted in the cariculum….Purge those professors and teachers who teach Socialist dogmatic dogma…It has no place in our Republic…Replace them with "Neutral" teachers that do "NOT" preach "IDEOLOGY."
You are right on. khrushchev said that they would never defeat us militarily, but would defeat us from within by infiltrating our schools. We are there. You are very perceptive.
"In small Doses"
"We cannot expect Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americas small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.
Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev
I just noticed we have a similar past. I was a FAA facility manager plus was an Army tower & GCA operator.
Very glad to meet you…I was a TERRPS specialist also…We were lucky to be born with our abilities…Congrats Brother…
It's been going on for decades. When a Conspiracy theory becomes true what's it called then? When they took prayer out if school and the pledge of allegiance I knew we were going down hill. I wonder if these atheist knew what they were doing or they were just stuck on stupid and didn't know any better?
No…If you look back at the chain of events in the school system you can see the conserted effort by the left to indoctrinate our children in a Globalist liberal mode..It is no surprise at the destruction of morality, ethics and traditional values…The liberal left, atheists, and anarchist even now are trying to destroy America's history…Totally rewrite the principles we were founded on…DESTROYING our Constitution…No…It is done on and within their designed purpose…Destroy America from within…
This is what Khrushchev was talking about when he said that they will defeat us from within. History has been forgotten or ignored, so unless we wake up we will be condemned to repeat it.
The were following "Rules for Radicals" Pick the little red book up and read it. They did and have been teaching it to our young people. Now, look at the Universities of students today. They be very dumb morons now.
I'm sure your right. Hillary and Obama are big fans of that book. What I can't figure out is how this happened right under our noses? I go back an remember and see signs of it since JFK was killed. I put it together about ten years ago and still don't understand how we let someone be POTUS who admitted they would change America. Then he was voted in again even after he took his world tour apologizing to all the countries he thought were harmed by the USA. Are we that gullible and blind?
This has been sneaking up on us for decades.
That's what's scary. It's been going on for decades and liberals have embedded themselves in power, schools, colleges, media, and every agency in this country. Trump and Sessions are going to have a long hard fight ahead because their in so deep. It's going to take 8 years of Trump and maybe the same for Pence to get a handle on the deep state corruption is. I pray we win that fight because it's going to take every one helping POTUS and his cabinet to get it done.
Seems like the dead-head Americans are like frogs on a pan of water. Slowly turn up the heat until boiling & all our asses are cooked.
Lock-n-Load, boys n girls! Be Prepared. And good luck.
Well said!
You could not have said anything more truthful, than this. What is happening to our teachers, that they teach such "crap"? Scary!!!!!
The next Crusade will have to begin soon…or else…
I think tryscavage has just made the point that TexRanger just articulated. The school system in America has been infiltrated with ignorant elites who can think but don't know how to act. I feel sorry for the kids going through the school systems today because they will be ignorant to the mission of the ISIS group. If you really want to know who the ISIS guys are just read the koran. This is the Muslim manual for taking over the world by living a life style very different then Christianity. These two belief systems cannot co-exist in this world and one is going to have to eliminate the other when the fighting begins. God help the ignorant….. Please!!!
Academia is anti-Christian. The product of our institutes of "higher learning" is woefully unprepared to enter the real world.
Who are these ISIS guys? My college professor tells me that they are actors from Hollywood. He swears by it.
LOL…your professor is a liberal. He spouts what he is told to.
Sounds like your fruitcake college professor needs to take a vacation to the mid-east for a few weeks. Get some real life learning.
But it is true that a lot of actors from Hollywood are like ISIS! What about Kathy Griffin, Madonna, and the ones who play the death of Cesar by Shakespeare.
They all are a bunch of terrorists who hate America.
Julius Caesar.
I hope you don't believe that professor???????? Good Grief, is he blind and deaf?
Wonder how many attacks and killings will it take to wake up the politicians to the fact that these barbarians cannot and will not assimilate and will remain a threat to the safety of this country as well as the rest of the civilized world? They will not coexist with Americans and will continue to demand Sharia Law here with is in direct opposition to our culture and Constitution! As long as they occupy this country, we will forever be faced with the violence of their culture!
Proof? Just look at their history over 2,000 years!
our politicians are satanists look up George bush and skull and crossbones. Illuminatiwatcher.com …. they worship Lucifer. they want the mayhem, they want race riots etc,,, google Dick Chaney Travon Martin heart transplant,,,,, wake up people
It would take only ONE attack on most politicians families to wake them up to the fact that Radical Muslims must be
brought down, Now.

Why Washington is worried about Saudi-Iran row
WASHINGTON - The escalation of Sunni- Shia tensions in the wake of Riyadh's execution of Shia cleric Nimr al-Nimr, and the subsequent Iranian-Saudi war of words, has put the United States in a difficult position as it tries to juggle competing interests.
First, the United States has close ties to both Sunni and Shia-led regimes. Although the former dominate the region, the United States has invested heavily, in terms of blood and treasure, in the Shia-dominated Iraqi regime, which it sees as a critical ally in the war against the Islamic State (ISIS).
In the wake of the Iran nuclear deal, which was concluded last summer, Washington hopes, as US President Barack Obama has stated on several occasions, that Iran, the leading Shia nation, will eventually moderate its behaviour in the region and return to the family of nations.
Hence, for Washington to land in the sectarian conflict on the side of the Sunnis threatens not only to upend its relationship with Baghdad but also to scuttle any chances of a rapprochement with Iran. And Obama sees the nuclear deal with Iran and the potential for a better relationship with Tehran as one of his important legacies. He told a journalist last May that, long after he has left the presidency, "it's my name on this".
But it is precisely that legacy that worries the Saudis most of all. Although Saudi Arabia, after much prodding from Washington last summer, officially endorsed the nuclear deal with Iran, it never really accepted it. Riyadh believes that Iran will not honour the deal and will do what it can to pursue a clandestine programme. It also fears that the windfall of cash that will soon fill Tehran's coffers with the lifting of sanctions will embolden Iran's meddling in the Arab world, which is already occurring in Iraq, Yemen and Syria.
Although the Obama administration has promised the Saudis that they can buy very sophisticated US military hardware for their defence, the leadership in Riyadh does not place much stock in Washington's promises that it will come to its defence. Unnamed Saudi diplomats have complained in the media that Washington has not done anything in response to Iran's recent missile tests, for example, an ominous sign from Riyadh's perspective.
Washington also has its share of problems with Riyadh. White House spokesman Josh Ernest said in January that US diplomats had raised concerns with Saudi officials about going ahead with the execution of Nimr because of the potential for "damaging consequences", which, he said, have now been "precipitated" by the execution.
Still, with so many conflicts and problems in the region, Washington needs the cooperation of both Saudi Arabia and Iran, reflected in the fact that shortly after the torching of the Saudi embassy in Tehran, US Secretary of State John Kerry was on the phone to foreign ministers from both Saudi Arabia and Iran to try to calm the situation.
Washington's top priority at this point is keep the international coalition together to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria and to get a ceasefire and a political process under way in Syria that would finally end the conflict. US officials had applauded the cooperation and efforts of the Saudis to host the recent meeting of Syrian opposition forces — minus ISIS and the al-Qaeda-affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra — in the kingdom and they want Iran's cooperation to help convince Syrian President Bashar Assad to agree to a transition timetable.
From the US perspective, anything that could derail these efforts — such as the Saudi-Iranian war of words — needed to be dealt with. As State Department spokesman John Kirby stated: "One of the things on Kerry's mind is not letting the Vienna process [on Syria] stall or fall backward." Thus far, the Saudi-Iran spat has not scuttled that process.
On Iraq, the Sunni-Shia conflict has the potential to unravel the military gains, albeit modest, against ISIS. Although Iraqi Sunnis complain that the Shia-dominated government in Baghdad is not giving them their fair share of power, the recent victory against ISIS in Ramadi was carried out in conjunction with forces from the regular Iraqi army and some Sunni tribal forces. Continued cooperation between these two forces is necessary if the much larger city of Mosul is to be taken down the road.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al- Abadi, while condemning the execution of Nimr, was careful not to inflame an already delicate situation given Iraq's sectarian problems. Washington is undoubtedly hoping that such wise policies will prevail.

Aharveda – The Peace Food Company has opened up in Golden Chariot by the same people behind the RadhaKrishna Hotel and the food skips oil, sugar, dairy and gluten.
There's A New Andheri Eatery Which Serves Delish Multi-Cuisine Healthy Thalis
Chow Down
Aharveda by Dr. Harish Shetty aims to reconcile healthy and nutritious food with the experience of dining out. Therefore, the entire menu is vegan but at the same time does not skip the traditional flavours. Now now, if you're a skeptic, let us break down the menu for you. The menu offers multi-cuisine dishes. There's soups, appetizers, healthy and freshly made juices {including the vegetable juices}, mains, desserts and a thali of the champions. We started off with the cream of mushroom soup {INR 150} which had all the subtle flavours except the cream was substituted by coconut cream. We moved on the Chef's salad, a fresh concoction of musk melon seeds, watermelon, mint and everything that a salad needs to be. If you're looking to try something exciting, we highly recommend the Mexican thali consisting of tacos made from rajgira atta {substitute for wheat}. It came with three in-house dips of salasa, guacamole and a cheesy dip made from cashew nut paste and coconut milk. To end it all, we had the Aharveda thali {INR 400}, or as we like to call it, thali for the champions. This gigantic thali is served on a silver platter with 13 dishes alongside a cup of coconut milk chaas. The thali includes patata vada, salad, two vegetable dishes {potatoes and boiled beans}, sama seeds rice, brown ice rotis, chana, dal, dhokla, three kinds of pickles and delicious kheer made with jaggery.
So, We're Saying...
We went in with skepticism and expectations of obnoxiously healthy food which would cost us a bomb. However, the dishes on the menu, though are super healthy, did not lack the flavour at all. To top it all, everything on the menu is really affordable {a meal for two would cost INR 400 to INR 500}. It's a great place to take your vegetarian friends, or just go here to take a break from your meat sessions.

Hampton - EASTCONN's Driver Education program is now accepting students for summer classes. Two 38-hour Driver Education Full Programs are scheduled.
The first 38-hour Program is scheduled for Monday through Friday, July 10 to July 28, 2017, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at EASTCONN's Arts at the Capitol Theater (ACT) magnet high school, 896 Main St., Willimantic.
The second 38-hour Program is scheduled for Monday through Thursday, July 17 to Aug. 9, 2017, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at EASTCONN's Quinebaug Middle College (QMC) on the campus of Quinebaug Valley Community College, 742 Upper Maple St., Danielson.
Subsequent classes will be held throughout the year, on a monthly schedule.
All youth under age 18 are required to take a Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV)-approved driver's education course before they can obtain their Connecticut driver's license.
EASTCONN's Driver Education Full Program includes 30 hours of DMV-approved classroom instruction and 8 hours of behind-the-wheel driver training, providing students with a foundation in safe driving techniques, rules of the road and laws that pertain to driving in Connecticut.
A parental component teaches parents and/or guardians about new teen-driving laws and how to ensure that their children become safe drivers.
EASTCONN's Driver Education offers highly trained, state-certified driving instructors; training vehicles equipped with the latest safety features; and an updated, user-friendly website, registration and payment process.
"Unique to our program is that our instructors were previously employed by the DMV and bring knowledge to our courses that goes well beyond their certification training," said EASTCONN Coordinator of Security Don Skewes. "We also try to be very accessible to students and families by holding our classes at high schools in the region."
In addition to the Full Program, EASTCONN offers other driver education services, including the 8-hour Safe Driving Practice Program, required by the State of Connecticut for teens and adults who have not previously held a Connecticut driver's license or who do not hold a valid license issued by another state. Also available are behind-the-wheel driving lessons and use of a fully equipped car and instructor to take students to their driving test at the DMV.
To register, visit www.eastconn.org/drivered or contact 860-428-7455 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
EASTCONN is a public, non-profit Regional Educational Service Center, which has been serving the educational needs of northeastern Connecticut schools and communities since 1980. Learn more at www.eastconn.org.

Ex-cabby jailed for kissing passenger
A taxi driver took a couple back to their home but went too far - by kissing the woman on her cheek and her mouth as she escorted her drunken husband into their house.
A. Ashok Kumar, 54, left the 47-year-old American woman shocked and scared after following the couple to their front door, a court heard.
He was sentenced to two weeks' jail yesterday after he was found guilty of outraging the store manager's modesty outside her home around 11.30pm on June 15, 2016.
He has since lost his job.
The couple had attended an event at a bar in Circular Road that evening.
The woman testified that after paying and thanking Ashok Kumar, she supported her intoxicated husband but he fell into some bushes at their condominium.
As she picked him up, she suddenly realised Ashok Kumar had followed her and was standing with them.
She refused to let the cabby help or touch her husband because she knew he could be unpredictable when he was intoxicated.
When the lift arrived, Ashok Kumar followed the couple into it and again the woman asked him not to touch her husband.
After taking her husband into the unit, she was shocked to find Ashok Kumar in front of the door.
As she went to close it, he kissed her on the cheek. Shocked, she turned her head the other way but he kissed her again, this time on the mouth.
Ashok Kumar denied molesting the woman, claiming that the pair were drunk, and that it was the woman who brought her cheeks to his to thank him as he was leaving.
District Judge Luke Tan said Ashok Kumar took advantage of his status as a taxi driver.
Ashok Kumar will start his sentence on Jan 31. - ELENA CHONG

By taking Nitish back despite grave personal differences, Modi has deftly smashed opposition dreams of a grand alliance against him in 2019.
In 2013, Nitish Kumar declared with what has come to be his trademark ambiguity "Kal kya kisne dekha hai? (Who can predict anything about tomorrow?)", when I asked him about rumours that he would walk out of his 17-year-old alliance with the BJP. In an irony that history will remind him of, central among his differences with the National Democratic Alliance was the rise and rise of Narendra Modi, who was then the chief minister of Gujarat. The stories of their personal friction are well documented—a dinner invitation in Patna for BJP leaders was cancelled, and flood relief money offered by Modi was curtly returned after advertisements featuring the two men together were released without Nitish's consent.
In 2017, that moment was dramatically inverted, when Modi welcomed Nitish's decision to break his tenuous alliance with Lalu Prasad over the issue of corruption. The tweet came within an hour of Nitish submitting his resignation to the governor, pointing to a pact that had obviously been worked out over several weeks. Nitish took his allies and even his aides by complete surprise. Several leaders close to him believed that although the gatbandhan with Lalu would break, there could not be a return to the NDA. They said Nitish was well aware that Modi and Amit Shah would never "forgive or forget" their humiliation by Nitish. They were hopeful that Nitish would acquire a moral sheen by taking on Lalu and his son Tejaswi, the deputy chief minister, and then position himself for a plunge into national politics in 2019. There were even murmurs of forging a non-Congress coalition that Maharashtra strongman Sharad Pawar might be deployed to build with Nitish as its face. They were all wrong. Nitish showed that in India's House of Cards, he has always held an unpredictable hand of aces.
The biggest winners are Modi and Shah. The duo has extracted revenge for the defeat in the Bihar elections. It has also shown that when it comes to consolidating his political gains, Modi can be pragmatic and adaptable, instead of being ideological and adamant. By taking Nitish back despite grave personal differences, Modi has deftly smashed opposition dreams of a grand alliance against him in 2019.
While Nitish has outmanoeuvred those who thought they could forecast his next move and ensured his place in the pantheon of politicians who must be taken seriously, this is a zero-sum-game for him in some ways. It appears to reinforce the political status quo instead of delivering a huge advantage to him. He has sought the high moral ground by snapping ties on a principled opposition to corruption. But he will be dubbed an opportunist by his former allies for constantly wavering on his ideological articulations. His qualified support for demonetisation, his support for the NDA presidential candidate, his backing for the United Progressive Alliance's vice presidential candidate—all these paradoxical positions were taken even as he was calling for opposition unity. His principal challenge now is to keep his party together; a significant number of legislators are either Muslim or Yadav and there may be some disquiet among them at abandoning Lalu and embracing the BJP. He also has to carry party veterans and old socialists like Sharad Yadav and others with his decision. And, with this move he has clearly given up on all national and prime ministerial ambitions. The only way he could have retained those was by staying as a challenger to Modi. An alternative route was to sack Tejaswi and challenge Lalu to walk out of the government. The route he has chosen (unless he changes his mind again before 2019) confines his political future to Bihar. That is exactly what Modi would want him to do.
Lalu, who is accused of placing the love for his son over survival and sagacity, is an obvious loser. Unless he is able to bounce back in the next elections, what lies ahead for him and his family, which is accused of acquiring prime property worth crores of rupees for a few lakhs, is a maze of litigation and, perhaps, prison. The Congress must also take responsibility for this mess. Nitish's party repeatedly expressed its exasperation at the lack of a 'narrative' in the opposition camp. Open swipes by Congress leaders at Nitish, too, did not help. But whether because of complacency or incompetence, and despite meetings between Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and Nitish, the Gandhi family could not keep its allies' house in order. The Congress is now staring at an inalienable truth: all this while it was fighting to take on the BJP, now it is struggling to even play the role of a primary opposition party. It is no longer the pivot around which other anti-BJP parties will organise. That, for the Congress, should be an existential wakeup call.
Finally, for liberal politics in India, this is an important reality check. For years, liberals who opposed the BJP had anointed Nitish as their great hope to take on Modi. But the same chief minister who joined hands with friend-turned-foe-turned friend (and now foe again) Lalu in 2015, in the name of secularism, has today chosen to make corruption the central principle of his political organisation. Of course, at the time Nitish built his peace-pact with Lalu, the RJD leader was already convicted of corruption in a lower court. So, if you believe that Nitish's decision has anything to do with corruption now or secularism back then, you are being delusional. This is realpolitik and to the victor goes the spoils. It is time to recognise that secularism has been bent, compromised and abused as a political slogan by parties across the spectrum. It has been corroded by the ambition of individual leaders and I am not sure there is a party that can claim to be a genuine practitioner of secular politics. Pluralism is a principle liberals must continue to battle for, but secularism as a political construct—and in the way it has been executed—is simply not authentic enough.
Much will happen between now and 2019, but for the foreseeable future, the Modi juggernaut rolls on, flattening all its challengers, along the path to political hegemony.

The `Tales from Shakespeare` by Charles and Mary Lamb were written to be an 'introduction to the study of Shakespeare' but are much more entertaining than that. All of Shakespeare's best loved plays, comic and tragic, are retold in a clear and robust style, and their literary quality has made them popular and sought-after ever since their first publication in 1807. This edition contains the delightful pen-and-ink drawings of that master of illustration, Arthur Rackham.

Pastor Chris
…for he hath said…So that we may boldly say… (Hebrews 13:5-6).
Christianity is called the "Great Confession"; it's a life of words. As Christians, we live by words. In Romans 10:9, we see the confession principle as the very basis for salvation. It says, "…if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved…."The vital aspect of salvation is activated and becomes real when you make the confession of the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Thus, in Christianity, your words—your confessions—are so important. The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 12:37, "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."In Mark 11:23, He said, "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith";He placed a premium on words.
Your confessions create realities. You create new realities for today and the future with your words. The Bible says, in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, and tells us how He did it: He did it through words. Through the power of the spoken word, He reframed and brought order to the world, which had become a chaotic mass (Genesis 1:1-6). What God did at the beginning was to reveal to us how to bring order, beauty, and glory to our lives, circumstances, and situations through words.
Chart your course in victory and success with your words; make your life perpetually triumphant. Even now, speak words that are consistent with God's divine provisions, plans, and purpose for you in Christ, and whatever you say will surely come to pass. Affirm that good things are coming your way, and glorious things are happening for you and around you, because you're the seed of Abraham.
The Word of God in my mouth prevails as I speak it forth. Good things are happening for me, and around me today. My words are infused with divine energy, creating new and glorious realities, transforming circumstances, and changing situations to conform to God's provisions, plans, and purpose for me in Christ. Hallelujah!*
2 Corinthians 4:13* We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Hebrews 13:5-6* [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Yallacompare survey finds only 10.9% are currently subscribed to home insurance policy
The vast majority of UAE residents appear unwilling to invest in a home insurance policy that might protect their belongings in the event of a disaster despite the fact that almost half have suffered home damage, according to a new survey.
The poll of nearly 400 people, conducted by yallacompare, the comparison website, found that just 10.9 percent of UAE residents are currently subscribed to a home insurance policy.
Of the reasons given for not purchasing home insurance, the most common answers included a perception that policies are too expensive, and a perception that there is no point in home insurance.
"These findings suggest that we have a lot more work to do when it comes to educating consumers on why home insurance is important. A similar survey conducted by yallacomapre in July 2017 found similar levels of home insurance penetration, but price was cited by fewer people as a barrier to purchasing a policy," said Jonathan Rawling, CFO of yallacompare.
"Our answer to those who think home insurance is too expensive would be that, actually, it's a bargain compared to the alternative of losing all of your belongings and having to replace them yourself."
In 2016, the website conducted a study that found it would cost at least AED28,000 to re-furnish the average one-bedroom apartment in the UAE.
The results of yallacompare's most recent survey come as almost 40 percent of respondents reported that they had experienced issues at home that threatened their belongings.
The most common issues included severe electrical malfunction and flood damage.
Of the respondents who are subscribed to a home insurance policy, 18.7 percent said that the insurer paid out whatever was needed with minimal hassle while 43.7 percent said that the process of claiming was mostly easy, despite some disagreements over the payout.

Starbucks Pushes for Lower Lease Rateson June 2nd, 2009 at 10:44 am
Taking advantage of a declining real estate market, Seattle-based Starbucks Corp. is pushing some of its U.S. landlords for as much as a 25 percent decrease in lease rates, according to Bloomberg.com. New York-based Prudential Douglas Elliman's retail leasing, marketing and sales division is advising about a dozen landlords to work with Starbucks after receiving letters seeking rent reductions of 20 percent to 25 percent. Starbucks began rent-reduction efforts in January as part of a plan to trim overall expenses, Starbucks spokeswoman Tara Darrow told Bloomberg. Around the same time, the company also said it would close about 300 stores this year and cut as many as 6,700 jobs. "We're taking advantage of the opportunity in as many cases as we can," Darrow said. "We feel like it's a positive program for us. Most of the landlords we've worked with have felt it is a mutually beneficial situation." The rent-reduction program covers the U.S. stores operated by Starbucks, a number that totaled 7,035 as of March 29. The effort doesn't include the more than 4,400 U.S. stores in airports, supermarkets and other licensed locations, Darrow said. Starbucks had cut $195 million in labor, food and other costs through the first half of fiscal 2009, and in April, the company said it was on pace to lower total costs by $500 million in the fiscal year that ends in September.

League of Women Voters offers guide to run for Greenwich office
GREENWICH — Interested in running for office but don't know how to do it? The League of Women Voters is here to help with an updated guide.
The league's "How to Run - For Greenwich Elective and Appointive Offices" is freshly revised by league board member Deirdre Kamlani. The league called it essential reading for anyone looking to enter local politics or even serve as a volunteer member of government.
"It is a comprehensive procedural guide that includes an election timeline as well as the rules and regulations that govern the nomination and election process," the league said in a press release. "This booklet is helpful for those planning to run for office and those who would like to get appointed to a slot on a town board, commission or committee."
Copies of the updated guide are available at Town Hall by visiting the first selectman's office, the town clerk or the registrar of voters. Copies are also available at the libraries throughout town.
Cyndy Anderson, a member of the league's steering committee, said citizen participation was vital to Greenwich. She said the guide will help people get more involved.
"Our town is very fortunate to have such talented and involved residents, many of whom play important roles in both elected and appointed offices," Anderson said. "For those who may be thinking about putting their skills to work for Greenwich, this updated guide is their road map."

Taliban insurgents attack NATO base in Afghanistan
KABUL — Taliban insurgents detonated a truck bomb, then tried to storm a NATO base Friday in eastern Afghanistan, but coalition forces repelled the attack, killing 14 militants, officials said.
No foreign or Afghan troops were killed, according to NATO, but the attack showed the fundamentalist Islamic movement remains potent even as Afghan President Hamid Karzai insists they do not have the means to retake the nation after foreign forces leave.
In the past two years, the U.S.-led coalition has sent tens of thousands of troops into Taliban strongholds in the south and has largely succeeded in boosting security there. The Taliban have responded by opening up new fronts in the north and west and stepping up attacks in the east, where much of the heaviest fighting is presently concentrated.
NATO plans to pull combat troops out of Afghanistan by the end of 2014 and turn security over to local forces. If security allows, Karzai said foreign forces could pull out earlier.
"We will not ask them to leave early," Karzai told Time magazine May 13. "If everything is done in time and they want to leave early, we will welcome it."
His office released a transcript of the wide-ranging interview on Friday.
Karzai said that while the U.S. had helped Afghanistan build roads, schools, clinics and welcomed the country into the world community, U.S. and NATO troops had not been able to provide security to the Afghan people.
"It did not bring the defeat of terrorism as we thought it would," he said. "It did not fight the war on terrorism in a manner that we felt was right. ... But the American presence did bring an overall stability to Afghanistan, which is very important."
Karzai also was adamant that the Taliban no longer have the means to overthrow the Afghan government.
"There is a lot in the Western press about the Taliban coming back and all that," Karzai said. "If you asked me three years ago, I would have not answered you in the positive. I would have said 'I don't know' or 'you are probably right' or somewhere in-between. But now, I can tell you with confidence that the Taliban as a force to threaten the government of Afghanistan or the way of life we have chosen is no longer there. The withdrawal of the international forces from Afghanistan will not lead to the Taliban coming back."
Provincial police chief Gen. Sardar Mohammad Zazai said the blast occurred at a coalition base about three miles outside Khost. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
"It was a very strong blast. Khost city shook and we heard firing," Zazai said.
Gula Jan, an Afghan police official who was at the scene, said the attack occurred at Camp Salerno. Jan said six civilians — three women and three children — were slightly wounded when a wall collapsed from the force of the explosion. NATO said it had no reports of any civilians being hurt during the attack.

Headway PArkour Blog
Parkour, Should It Be Banned?
A while back I wrote a post contemplating the creation of a parkour country, this country would consist of like minded traceurs from all around the world meeting up to live in a blissful utopia, unfortunately this type of reality is not probable. Instead we must cope with cynical townspeople who are constantly calling the police and belittling our wonderful roof missions. I recently was tasked with writing an informational essay on any subject in the world that interests me, obviously I picked the one nearest to me: Parkour. The topic of the essay is rooftop training and it's justification. This essay was meant to be unbiased so I try not to choose sides, although if given the choice I would definitely support the legalization of rooftop training! Anyhow, here it is:
Traceurs are known for their unconventional and slightly radical ways, they enjoy living on the edge and pushing the limit on what's acceptable. This is why you will often find Traceurs in places they are not supposed to be, like on the rooftop of a skyscraper. They are up there to test their craft; They are yearning to affirm their skills, if they can perform at a height, they can perform anywhere. Unfortunately many people do not agree with this attitude and often get very upset when they find young men clamoring around on their rooftop. Today I would like to present you with the facts of the matter and allow you to come up with your own opinion.
The vast majority of people who support rooftop training are FreeRunners themselves. They claim that there is a cult of sorts forming; Roof Culture. "It all stemmed from the growing subculture that we like to think we've been at the forefront of over the last few years - that of exploring and climbing gritty, urban, environments often at night and scouting for beefy roof gaps to do during the day." (Storror, 1). As you can see, they are climbing in order to fuel their discipline, not to cause harm. This may be why the young Traceurs are undeterred by attempts to stop their rooftop training, they don't see what they're doing wrong.
Lucky for us most Freerunners are kindhearted people who have no intention of causing trouble. However, as a result of their roof climbing antics, they are sometimes mistaken for troublemakers. This is clear to see in the case of Max Cave and Luke Harty who were shot by 49 year old Eric Kingston whilst climbing the Ryman stationers in Horsham. Eric claims that he was "genuinely fearful the group of men in leisurewear would overpower me." (The Telegraph, 2). Max and luke were resting after a long climb when they were ambushed and attacked. This goes to show how the best of intentions sometimes fails to shine through when placed in light of negative circumstances.
On the other side of the argument we have the Parkour community who has offered up a message to us all: "If you are looking into Parkour for a quick adrenaline fix, you might as well look else where. Traceurs are generally serine during training and have a cat like calmness emanating from them in order to complete every jump with grace and precision." (Dameon, 2). This calmness is especially heightened when training on buildings, they need to stay calm and focused if they are to avoid injury. Traceurs often bring up this point when arguing for the legalization of Parkour. They claim that they are too busy training to concern themselves with petty crimes like robbery.
Some people disregard the last point and get into Parkour simply for the adrenaline rush; This is a dreadful decision that can lead to catastrophic results. Take the infamous 26 year old "FreeRunning Girl" for example who attempted a very large gap jump during her first lesson, she failed to make the jump and fell 17 stories to her death. "Authorities have raised concerns about the risk in jumping across high buildings and argue that practitioners are needlessly risking damage to both themselves and rooftops." (Daily Mail, 1)
It is understandable why the public may be opposed to roof missions continuing especially since they often take place at night time, when most people are trying to sleep. As time goes on, signs that prohibit Parkour area are popping up nearly everywhere,. even on ground level! Lucky for Traceurs the rules which are set down by these signs are not strictly enforced but that may change with time.
Another point that is often brought up against FreeRunners is the damages caused by them; Their shoes not only leave scuff marks on everything but they occasionally bail quite badly and damage the environment in the process. Hence Forth many cities have begun to paint buildings with "Climb Proof Paint". This does little to stop the young athletes who always seem to find a way. In the future regulations may be more strict but for now Traceurs can bypass the system pretty easily.
Police officers are not an uncommon sight to Traceurs. The reason for this is the vast number of people who call the authorities as soon as they spot a Traceur training in places they shouldn't be. It's almost like a paradigm in society that is limiting the views of people all over the world. This current view is ultimately closing their minds to the possibility that Traceurs may simply be up there to progress their art in contrast to committing the vile acts of treachery which they are often accused of.
People often bring up the dangers of freerunning when arguing against it. This is easily seen with the case of Pavel Kashin, a young Russian Freerunner who fell to his death whilst training Parkour.. He fell 16 stories after losing his balance while attempting a backflip atop a building. It is because of incidents like this that people urge Freerunning to be more strictly monitored by authorities, especially on rooftops. The Freerunning community urge us to remember that: "Pavel was an amazing Freerunner and, as this tragedy shows, mistakes happen to the very best of us."(Farang, 2).
Now that you have all the facts it's up to you to decide your opinion, should freerunners be allowed to train on rooftops? After all Freerunning is based around freedom, and how can you be free when restrictions are put into place? This is undoubtedly a muddy topic that is very difficult to form an opinion about. As the old saying goes "It takes one to know one" It is for this reason precisely why there is such a big divergence in opinion between these two parties. Never underestimate the power of small acts over time. Simple actions can cause a shift in the mindset of the masses, this is what is happening in the Parkour community as we speak. Every time a Traceur defends his right to explore his environment he is influencing the conscious unconsciousness which dictates how society reacts to things like rooftop missions. A fact of life is that all truth goes through three stages. Step one involves ridicule. Step two entails violent oppositions. And finally step three is summed up by acceptance as self evident. Parkour is an overall great thing that makes the lives of many youth much better than it would otherwise be, there is no viable reason why we should stop these young men and women from expressing themselves in the only way they know how. Many Traceurs would be out on the streets causing real trouble if it wasn't for Parkour.

I think that if people want to take risks, then it's their business. Of course if damage to property is caused, then the owner should be payed compensation. Also, if a person is injured during parkour, then he has no right to sue anyone. I believe that anyone who wants to practice parkour should have the right to do so unhindered, but with freedom comes responsibility.

you can ban parkour but you can't stop people from doing it because people are doing every day whether its just a simple kong through a desk or just playing at the playground.

The premise is misguided which leads to a false conclusion. If you want to do parkour, do it on your own property, in a gym, or in a park designated for it. DO NOT do it on private property, period, without previous permission. You should also be licensed and insured; what if you fall off a roof and land on person or private property and kill or damage it? Can you pay up? Or will you simply run off like a coward and hope you don't get caught so that you can get a viral video?

What? Why? Who?
A general introduction to the Program"Data Scientist: The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century"Harvard Business Review, 2012
What are "Stochastics*" and "Data Science"?
The Master's Degree in Stochastics and Data Science aims at preparing students with a solid and modern education in probabilistic and statistical methods. Core topics will be advanced methodologies and techniques that are nowadays required tools for performing mathematical modelling and analysis under uncertainty (Stochastics) and for analysing and being able to interpret high-dimensional and complex data structures (Data Science). The emphasis of the course topics will be both theoretical and oriented towards computation and applications, providing not a "book of recipes" but the capability of discerning, combining and applying the most useful and modern methods available in Probability and Statistics.
The Master's Degree in Stochastics and Data Science draws inspiration from the best graduate programs in Data Science recently started in the USA and Europe, and is currently the only offer of this type in Italy.
Why should I be willing to obtain a degree in Stochastics and Data Science?
We live in an era with huge availability of information. Think for example about the amount of data the social networks generate, where every click is registered and archived for future use. Being able to model and interpret this information is crucial, whatever the scope.
It then comes to no surprise, that one of the leading job figures of the 21th century is going to be the data scientist one. In the past few years, jobs analysts have been constantly ranking Mathematicians, Statisticians and Data Scientists among the best and most requested jobs, with even better future scenarios. Here is a sample of international media reports
- Harvard Business Review: Data Scientist: The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century.
- CareerCast ranks Data Scientist and Statistician as the top 2 jobs in 2016 (see also the Wall Street Journal and CNN).
- Glassdoor rated Data Scientist as the no. 1 job in 2016.
- Forbes: number of Data Scientists doubled over the last four years.
- McKinsey: Big data, the next frontier for innovation, competition, and productivity.
- LinkedIn ranks Statistical Analysis and Data Mining as the hottest skill in 2014.
- New York Times: Bayesian statistics are rippling through everything from physics to cancer research, ecology to psychology.
and Italian media reports:
- Il Sole 24 Ore: Data Science and Statistics are experiencing a rapid expansion in terms of job positions.
- La Repubblica: no jobs shortage for Mathematicians.
- La Stampa: skills and competences for Big Data still lacking in Italy.
- Corriere Comunicazioni: statisticians become data scientists.
A recent article of La Stampa on our graduates can be found here. We are also mentioned here.
"For today's graduate, just one word: Statistics"E. Brynjolfsson, MIT Center for Digital Business Director, New York Times, 2009
What can I do after completing this Master's Degree?
Gaining solid skills related to the above outlined topics will enable to deal with and model data collected in a variety of disciplinary fields by exploiting a deep mathematical understanding of the underneath structures. Graduates in Stochastics and Data Science will have a solid knowledge in key topics from Applied Mathematics, Probability and Statistics combined with computational skills essential for modern interdisciplinary applications. Such preparation allows to use this theoretical knowledge for concrete tasks, for example to:
autonomously formulate complex probabilistic models for describing static and dynamic phenomena of interest;
develope the necessary mathematical and statistical tools for their analysis;
use these models together with sets of available data to perform estimation, forecasting and uncertainty quantification of phenomena under study;
design and implement computational strategies in the form of algorithms for concretely carrying out the statistical procedures.
Such skills are nowadays highly demanded in a variety of professional environments, both in the private and public sector.
Alternatively, those who are more interested in proceeding with PhD studies, will have gained a solid background which allows to enter programs in Statistics, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, Computer Science, Economics and Mathematical Finance, among other topics.
What degree does this Program award?
The Master's degree in Stochastics and Data Science is a second-cycle degree legally recognised as a Laurea Magistrale in the class LM-40 Mathematics within the Italian university system.
Whom is the Master's Degree aimed at?
The Master's Degree in Stochastics and Data Science is aimed at highly motivated students who have obtained or are close to obtaining a Bachelor Degree (Laurea Triennale for students in Italian Universities) or an equivalent title. A Bachelor education in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics or Computer Science is ideal, but talented and motivated students with a different degree and willing to enrol in a challenging and exciting course are also welcome to apply for admission.
Students who need to consolidate their mathematical background will be given suggestions for self-organised study at the admission and during the first semester. To the same end, these are also encouraged to choose their free credits for the Bachelor Degree (Laurea Triennale) among courses in quantitative methods, most notably analysis, probability, statistics, operations research and econometrics.
"I keep saying the sexy job in the next ten years will be statisticians."
H. Varian, Google Chief Economist, The McKinsey Quarterly, 2009
* Stochastics (ending with "s") is a noun (while Stochastic is an adjective), with which here we mean the ensemble of probabilistic tools required for performing mathematical modelling under uncertainty.
