EL SEGUNDO, CA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AWR, the innovation leader in high-frequency electronic design automation (EDA), announced it has acquired Simulation Technology and Applied Research, Inc., (STAAR), of Mequon, WI, a developer of 3D parallelized FEM tools for EM simulation of components and subsystems operating at RF and microwave frequencies. STAAR is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of AWR Corp., retaining its operations and facilities in Wisconsin, and under the continued guidance of STAAR founder Dr. John DeFord.
AWR chose STAAR after spending much of 2008 evaluating 3D EM technologies and firms in response to customer demand for a seamlessly-integrated 3D FEM tool within the AWR Design Environment. AWR concluded the acquisition of STAAR in December 2008, at the end of another record-breaking quarter for the company. For the year, sales grew in excess of 22% over 2007, driven by strong demand for the company's new AXIEM 3D planar EM simulator.
STAAR, a profitable company that was launched in 1997, has developed proprietary parallelized 3D FEM EM simulation and analysis capability, which is embodied in its Analyst software. The Analyst software is the result of more than a decade of development at STAAR in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Energy, and has been employed to analyze extremely-complex RF and microwave structures at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and Naval Research Laboratory.
"The entire team at STAAR is delighted that our Analyst technology was found to be the most compelling 3D FEM EM software for AWR to offer to its customer base," said John DeFord, STAAR founder. "STAAR's product line, corporate philosophy of simulation accuracy and scalability, along with excellent customer service aligns well with AWR's corporate culture. The Analyst software is a natural complement to AWR's existing product portfolio and we're excited by the prospect of taking the Analyst solution global via AWR's worldwide sales, marketing, and support organization."
Analysis of EM fields in complex structures, such as complete Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs), densely-populated RF circuit boards, and multifunction modules, frequently requires large amounts of memory and processing power that can overburden even the most capable of today's "high-end" workstations. Many of these problems can be solved, but with limited accuracy for want of greater system resources. Analyst software addresses this deficiency by employing scalable decomposition algorithms to optimize cluster computing resources, resulting in dramatically reduced computation times, improved accuracy, and a greater return on investment in computer hardware. By supporting both shared- and distributed-memory systems, the Analyst 3D FEM EM tool is easily configured to work with common computing architectures.
"The unique 3D FEM EM analysis technologies developed by John DeFord and his colleagues are a perfect complement to our current EM solutions such as the award-winning AXIEM planar simulator," said Sherry Hess, VP Marketing at AWR. "Analyst's novel parallelized 3D FEM technologies provide exceptional power and scalability beyond anything available on the market today and alongside AXIEM 3D planar EM software gives designers the ability to solve a wide range of designs."

"Obviously, Ash Ketchum couldn't stay home to become a Pokemon Master. His last name is freakin' Ketchum! He had to go out into the world, and along the way, he might've acquired some useless Pokemon. He had a Metapod at some point in time. He turned into Butterfree eventually, but Metapod was a worthless Pokemon. All he did was sit there and harden. So while he may have been sitting there and hardening, he was collecting experience in order to become a Butterfree."

Plato's analysis of the truth through "The Parable of the Cave" is an effective, valid tool to help us analyze our own life and ultimately find the truth. He did this by first analyzing his own life and the bearers who used shadows to keep him from reaching the roadway to wisdom. It has proved to be an effective assessment not only when he was alive but even up until today.
The parable symbolizes man's struggle to reach understanding and enlightenment and is a universal and everlasting concept.
Plato used the bearers in his parable to symbolize people who control what we see and do, people who hold us back from using our full potential to decide what we want to see for ourselves. An example from modern society would be TV producers or record label executives, ultimately they decide what songs we will sing tomorrow and what shows we will watch. They limit us by allowing only what they want to reach us and penetrate our minds and lives. The bearers were what kept the escaped prisoner in the parable from turning his head and seeking his own truth, as well and new things. They kept him from being able to control what he saw for himself. The bearer would be the general public who is subjected to the will of the executives at the TV networks and Music labels. The naming of objects was another hindrance, because it only caused prejudging and encouraged a closed mind. The bearers, and naming of objects make it harder to find our own truth, although it is not impossible. As Plato knew then, they exist in everyone's lives.
Humans have to travel from the visible realm of image making and object naming to the intelligible, invisible realm of reasoning and understanding. The "Parable of the Cave" symbolizes this voyage and how it would look to people still in a lower realm. The things our senses perceive as real are just shadows on a wall. Just as the escaped prisoner ascends into the light of sun, as we amass knowledge, we ascend into the light of true reality: ideas in the mind. The best way to describe this is with the American teenager. The teenager will love the top 40 on the radio for only so long before they listen to something new such as Jazz, Classical Music or the Beatles. Their musical tastes will never again be completely satisified by the top 40.
Yet if someone goes into the light of sun and embraces true reality and then proceeds to tell the others still chained in the cave of the truth, they will laugh at and ridicule the enlightened one, for the only reality they have ever known were some fuzzy shadows on a wall. They could not possibly comprehend another dimension without experiencing it themselves, and therefore would label the enlightened one as mad. The exact same thing happened to Charles Darwin. In 1837, Darwin was traveling aboard the H.M.S. Beagle in the Pacific Ocean and dropped anchor at the Galapagos Islands. Darwin found a wide array of animals therein. These differences in animals sparked Darwin to perform research, which lasted well up to his death and culminated in the publishing of The Origin of Species in 1858. He stated that these had not appeared out of thin air but had evolved from other species through evolution and natural selection. This sparked a firestorm of criticism, for most people at this time accepted the theory of Creationism. In this way, Darwin and his scientific followers parallel the escaped prisoner. They walked into the light and saw true reality. Yet when he told the imprisoned public what he saw he was scoffed at and labeled mad; all the prisoners knew and could perceive were shadows on a wall, which are just gross distortions of reality. Darwin walked the path to understanding and wisdom just like the escaped prisoner on the parable.
"The Parable of the Cave," because of its timeless text and ingenious originality, will probably be around until the end of time. It will continue to amaze people through its eye-opening metaphors and unforgettable lessons. By reading the parable, Plato made us take a look at our own lives, to make sure we weren't living a life based solely on our senses, in order to be able to find a personal truth. Situations will arise probably similar to Darwin's and this lesson will repeat itself again.

10 Kittens and a Lion
We all were excited for this match. It was a Do or Die for sure even if it was the first match of the group stage. I admit I was very optimistic about this match, I thought the team would be fueled up and pumped up for this encounter. What more do they want? A stadium which has a capacity of 65,000 was filled up for them. Everyone there for them and a match to prove themselves again, yet all we get as a nation from these so-called professionals is a bad start to the road to Johannesburg.
From the start of the match Bahrain were attacking our open defense, running around in our side of the pitch as if they were on an empty parking lot. Our passing was sure very bad, no pass accuracy at all.
We might ask ourselves what went wrong in the team. The thing is we wouldn't know that. Don't blame the referee like the commentator did in the match. Every tackle got the commentator
blaming the referee for anything that happened.
Our midfield was shattered, Fawzi Basheer who had an attacking role on the midfield was held way back in the midfield line. There was absolutely no way the ball could reach the strikers from the midfield. Any player gets the ball and has absolutely no one to pass it to as all the rest are marked.
Our left side of the defense was like an open road. I remember one strike were the Bahraini striker easily got past in between 3 of our defenders. Good thing it wasn't a goal.
I was disappointed by the performance of all the players except one, that is Ali Al-Habsi for sure. He saved a few definite goals and the goal that was scored was not his fault but the defenders fault. Whenever a corner is played there should be two defenders between the goalkeeper, each defender marking the area of each goal post. But only the left of our goalkeeper was protected and the right side was not.
This is our first defeat in Oman since 4 years now. There was no sense of patriotism in our players today. Only Ali Al-Habsi showed that, the rest were being outplayed and seemed lost in the pitch. If only they had that sense of patriotism they would've done something about the outcome of the match today.
Speaking of Patriotism, if only you guys watched UAE's match against Kuwait today. I watched it right after Oman's match finished. That was football, that was team-work and in that match I found what I call patriotism. All the players in UAE and Kuwait (despite being 2-0 down) were giving it their all. Sadly we don't have that in our football players.
The funny thing was watching our players diving after every tackle they got from the Bahraini players. Also another funny thing is, during the 1st half and a part of the 2nd half the referee was surely on our side.
Bahrain played a good match, even though they were a bit dirty and tried to waste a lot of time. Macala sure knew how to handle the game and Bravo to him for that. He closed all the flanks, locked down Oman's midfield and marked our key players.
I just hope this loss has a good impact on our players rather than put them down. Yes this was our chance but there is no use crying over spilled milk right now. We have to focus on our coming matches and try our best to snatch every point we can get. This is not over yet, Bahrain have a bad record when it comes to home matches, so let's hope for the best.
Congratulations to Bahrain for this win, they sure deserved it.
The 10 kittens are the rest of the players, The lion is Ali Al-Habsi.

If anyone is still wondering why Roxas lost (including Mar Roxas), let's spell it out: it's because people have not forgotten Mar's failures – from his failure to address the emergency that was Yolanda to his failure to address the MRT problems that started and were exacerbated when he became DOTC Secretary.
Maybe now that he is definitely out of the picture, the government can finally resolve issues such as the questionable purchase of Dalian trains by the Aquino Administration, the anomalies of which are discussed in the attached case filed by the Anti Trapo Movement.
Let's hope that with Mar Roxas unable to meddle, the Duterte administration can finally make a better MRT one its legacies.

Oh Oliver!
No, this is not about the musical Oliver. Which also had an exclamation point at the end, if my memory serves me. This is about the one and only Oliver Queen, aka the Green Arrow.
I haven't really talked that much about Ollie here, usually, I'm slobbering over Hal. But for the past couple of evenings, I've been reading the two Green Lantern/Green Arrow compilations so lovingly gathered by DC, with Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams. The art is mindbogglingly gorgeous of course. The writing was considered to be quite the thing at the time, with all of Denny O'Neil's over-the-top dialogue and the touching upon topics that were considered taboo at the time, such as drug use, and so on.
But...really, Ollie is pretty much a douchebag. And I LIKE Ollie! Most of the time.
Seriously, why Hal didn't just haul off and punch him right in the nose, I'll never know. Of course, there was a fair amount of fisticuffs between the two of them, but in practically every case, it is initiated by Oliver, not Hal.
My God, he's so...so full of himself! Ollie, not Hal. Although Hal does have a very healthy ego, at least he's not running around spouting off a bunch of half-baked lingo and gibberish. And poor Black Canary...stuck with the two of them!
Guy at his very WORST, when he was a brain-dead lout wasn't as bad as Ollie, when he had all of his brains, but apparently couldn't control himself. I consider myself reasonably liberal and moderate in my political leanings, but Geez Louise! Fatcats, Nazis,the downtrodden poor, hippies and evil cops...it's a bit much. But it's pretty hilarious, if you are in the proper frame of mind.
Ollie seems to have calmed down a bit as he matured. I will say, that Barry never did HALF of the stuff to Hal, that Ollie did. I can probably say with confidence, that Barry never once has called Hal a Nazi. Ollie used to do it with every other breath, or so it seemed.

Writing exams is stressful. You got limited time with many questions to answer. Some you know well, some you can attempt well, and some you may not know answers to. Even if you are well prepared for your exam, your question paper may leave you in a difficult situation to attempt all questions within time with quality. Children generally struggle to find time for revising their answers, and may land up in a tensed situation even after attempting to all the questions. Time management is the biggest challenge most students face throughout their academics.
So the question comes is what to do to handle this situation? Effective time management during tests or exams is the answer. But now, the difficult question comes – How to manage time effectively during the examination?
This is something which doesn't comes overnight, but needs practice like any other skill. Parents need to teach their children importance of time management, not only by instructing them, but helping them out in their daily schedules which can make them value time and practice time management throughout their chores.
In parlance of how to manage time during examinations, here are a few quick tips which you can help your child practice and master this skill progressively.
1. Analyse the question paper : Spare 2 to 3 minutes to analyse the question paper. You skim through the questions quickly yet carefully to understand the questions. The intent is to make yourself familiar with the structure of questions, and have an understanding of what all you need to cover through this time. The key in this step to read the questions carefully and thoroughly, so that you understand the questions well, specially the confusing ones.
2. Prioritize: Spend next 2 minutes to prioritize. Prioritize in three buckets-
a. Questions I am confident to answer
b. Questions I can attempt with some effort
c. Questions I do not know answers fully to and may take time answering
You can create your own signs to mark the questions in the buckets while you read them. For example, have a code say "1" marked for questions you are confident with, code "2" marked for the questions you can attempt with some effort, and code "3" marked for the questions you need time answering. Refer to questions marked "1" to answer first without wasting time in finding questions. Even a few minutes saved are a few marks earned!
3. Strategize : The first bucket you definitely need to answer first. Strategise the second bucket in terms of marks the questions carry. You would want to attempt the questions which carry higher marks first. Divide your time accordingly.
The key in this step is not to spend too much time, and have an idea of how much time you would need to keep spare for a quick revision. To make the kids practice this, parents can randomly select questions from their books and give them 5 minutes time to analyse, prioritize and strategise. This is to be done regularly much before exam dates so that the kids understand they need to finish this activity quickly.
4. Track time : Keep a watch in front of you to keep yourself aware about the time you have consumed. You would like to increase or decrease your time consumption in the questions as per the questions worth and the questions remaining to attempt. Keep an overall idea of how much time is left. Do not feel nervous if you may take a little time for a problem, but think through managing it better in next questions.
5. Have a quick revision : When you are exactly left with the budgeted time for revision, start revising. You must go through and reconcile the questions and answer numbers, ensure you have attempted all questions, quickly zip across important answers and check correctness. For example, the mathematical formulas, or antonyms and synonyms or word meanings etc.
Ensure you go through your answer sheet, make sure it is properly knit or stapled, and it bears your name, grade, section, school name, roll number, test centre code or any other specifications which are needed.
6. Do not rush or try to finish and leave early: Your exams are the reflection of what you have studied the whole year. Examinations are giving you an opportunity to look inside your own preparedness of the subject, nor for the sake of just passing the grade, but making a way through for your future. So do not be in haste to complete and move out of the test centre. If you have genuinely finished the question paper early, spend the rest of the time in revising your answers.
Utilise this time to think about your the weak links in your exam attempts, i.e. the answers you think may get under a tougher evaluation. If you can think of any such question, spend your time in revising the answer to bring it closer to the expected answer, within the boundaries of time available. This can help you come through a long way in scoring those few missing marks which can make or break your merit lists.
With these few quick tips, children can ensure they are doing well in their examinations and they are at least not disturbed by the time constraints. As I said, this is a skill and matures with practice – the more the you groom yourself, the more it grooms you. What parents need is to assist their children throughout their studies to master such life skills.
If you think your child is going through exam stress, you should not worry but take a step by step approach to take that stress out of your kids mind. You can go through this article to know more about the ways of handling exam stress.
Let me know in comments if you think of any other innovative ways other parents can practice to teach their kids time management during examinations.

I'm reading Terry Prachett's Soul Music and there have been a number of times I was annoyed while reading it. So annoyed that I almost abandoned it.
A few things.
At times, I've noticed it's written by an old white guy. Now, I'm not an uber feminist, but in it he tends to make jabs at youth being clueless and other such things that make it really evident.
There are also footnotes that I've found pull me out of the story, so I had to ignore them to move forward, which means I'm missing a bit of the story in order to enjoy the story and that seems silly.
As I read further, I realized he made fun of everything. There's even a subtle jab at Michael Jackson's musicianship that is both a jab and yet not at the same time.
He says a lot through subtext. There is so much of the book that is true to life that one might not be able to fully understand depending on their life experience. Had I read it 10 years ago, I think I would've missed much. I want to read it again in 10 years to see how I feel about it all then and to see if there is more that I haven't gotten at age 37 because I haven't yet lived as much as he had when he wrote it.
I think it's masterfully written despite the few things that annoyed me. Perhaps it's partly because of my love of music or my spirituality, but I feel like it's a work that has impacted me deeply and may affect my writing for decades to come.
A key message in the work is that great things can only be achieved by vastly different groups of people appreciating each other's differences and using their diverse talents to make something more than each individual could alone.
There's also a different bent on differences I noticed when he talked of Death's inability to properly create things like towels. Death's towels might as well be cardboard cutouts because Death can't understand the concept of a towel.
I think it is a work that challenges one no matter what one's current worldview is, so long as they are willing to let it.
Today I'm thankful for all the differences in the world that both annoy and enrich me.
It also has me wanting to write music… It may or may not have rocks in.
With gratitude,

"I swore never to be silent wherever and whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." (Elie Wiesel)
This is one of many statements in the following article that spoke to my heart. The title of this post is an excerpt from another. That full statement says,
"We can also learn that institutions are only good when they serve and protect their constituents. Institutions and organizations are not eternal; people are. When we protect a school, church or organization that devours people, we are injuring and betraying our own flesh and blood."

Climate Change Adaptation and the Business Sector Forum
Climate Change Adaptation and the Business Sector
On 23 April 2013, NCCARF hosted a forum at the Museum of Sydney, addressing the newest research in climate adaptation for business and industry.
With the increase in damages from climate-related extreme events, the world is witnessing how changes in climate (and associated regulatory and market responses) in one location can send ripples through businesses globally. The World Economic Forum recently highlighted failure to address climate change adaptation as one of the top ten risks to the global economy. In Australia there is a limited understanding about what climate change means for the business sector or how the sector is likely to respond. In response, NCCARF has commissioned a range of research projects that explore these issues. Research presented at this forum explores issues surrounding climate change impacts and responses associated with insurance, boardroom engagement, strata title and climate legal risk.

I just wanted to write about tonight a bit while it's fresh in my mind… I was running from a speaking engagement at USC to meet up with my co-founders of DPL-Da Poetry Lounge at a spot called Bakery Poetry Lounge in the Noho Arts District, apparently they were going to honor us… I guess, for being some of the pioneers who helped create the modern poetry scene in Los Angeles. Anyhow, I rush to the spot and of course I'm the last one to arrive and find my old friends and partners, Shihan, Poetri and Gimel, together, we are the founders. I walk into the waiting room, to smiles, thankfully it wasn't time for us to be announced, and I'm like, "So what are we doing?" Shihan laughs and says, "I don't know." And the whole crew is in chuckles and what not, showing the looseness of the situation. Gimel pretty much set up the situation and we all came to be apart it.
I'm only writing about this, because, although I didn't know exactly what the plan was for the evening, it managed to turn into a special night. We figured we'd go onstage and rock a few poems and take some questions from the audience and… I guess be honored. But the thing is, we haven't all been onstage like that together, rocking poems for many years now. Yeah, we still all attend our poetry venue, but usually not all there at the same time, and sometimes, we don't even hit the mic to perform, leaving space and room for all the other worthy poets to tell their stories. But tonight, we we're all back together again, rocking poems, old and new… and telling stories about how this whole thing got started, how we kept it going and how it not only shaped what we now know as the poetry scene in LA, but how it's shaped us individually.
See, a lot people out there only know me as an actor, a profession and craft that I am ferociously proud of, but being apart of the LA poetry scene and creating something out of nothing… with these guys, well that remains as one of my most prized accomplishments in my life. I don't often think about it, writing poems and telling stories is just apart of how we communicate. Culturally, I guess, it's just the way we've always communicated, but when I look back over the last two decades and we talk about all the things we went through as young struggling artist, from Shihan living on my couch, all the way to Poetri winning a Tony on Broadway and the beginning of it all, it was us getting together, inviting friends… and friends of friends to a theater on Tuesdays night to hear some poems and share some stories. We worried if anyone would show up… But they did, and they always do… Every Tuesday night. And in some small way, it feels like we help change the world… at least every Tuesday night at Da Poetry Lounge.

Chris Brown and Rihanna are out and about again together. RiRi was even spotted in a Chris Brown t-shirt. Think Karrueche needs to give up. From the looks of things the pair is happy together. Check out photos and video inside.
The couple arrived on the Ivory Coast yesterday in Abidjan . Clearly Rihanna is winning and no need to instagram the picture of her in a Chris Brown t-shirt like Karreuche did last week. RiRi is wearing the shirt and on a plane with Brown.
In other news, Karrueche hints that her clothing line, The Kill, is on the way!!!

DISTURBED Teases New Music In Studio Update Video
Subscribe to Metal Injection on
Disturbed appeared to be working on their acoustic EP back in February, but a new studio teaser shows the band very much electrified. You can hear some of the band's new material in the video above, which showcases Disturbed working with producer Kevin Churko (Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach).
If I had to take a guess, I'd say the band probably tracked the acoustic EP first and then worked on the full-length album, considering they've been in the studio for at least two months at this point. More details on the record(s) should be surfacing in the coming months.

A License To Sell
Born in North Vancouver and raised in Vancouver's Point Grey area, I attended Queen Mary Elementary and then St. George's, graduating in 1976. My father, R.W. Macdonald graduated the UBC Faculty of Law's first class of 1950. He spearheaded the Discovery Street diversion from Fourth Avenue through Jericho Park and was also past president of UBC alumnae.
When I was 17, I was involved in harbouring and medically treating Jericho Youth Hostel guests who were pursued to my doorstep by a lone gunman involved in a shooting spree at the hostel. That same year I taught swimming to handicapped kids at Jericho School. I multitask well.
I graduated from BCIT in 1989 with my Associate Broker's Marketing Real Estate License and in 2014 was recognized by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver for 25 years of consistent service. Over the years I have acted as a Managing Broker, successfully coaching and training other real estate licensees in whole service client support.
My enthusiasm is fuelled by directly serving buyers and sellers of real estate in Vancouver and surrounding areas. My reward is the deep, longterm relationships that have developed. As a Vancouver native I have seen many changes to our city over the years and am proud to call it my home. Last but not least, I am an exceptionally proud father to my three sons, also born and raised in Vancouver.

This was a hard week.
Monday, there was a deadly shooting of a mother and her son. The son's children were in the house being protected by his sister. They are related to a very dear friend of mine's fiance, who is also a good friend. No reason as of yet or anyone apprehended for the crime.
Tuesday, another deadly shooting…a double suicide of some local teens. A boyfriend and girlfriend found in a car. The boy, 16, was my eldest son's childhood friend from Boy Scouts. They've known each other since first grade. Just devastating to our community. Our high school student body has been rocked.
Wednesday was the second anniversary of one of my best friend's death who died from cancer. I miss him so much.
Please hold your loved ones close, closer than you think you should.

Students Take on the Bitter Cold of Canada
Adventures in Quebec
On February 9, 2018, six Midlothian French students, senior Joy Li, senior Gregory Beckwith, senior Claire O'Brien, senior Max Turkaly, junior Julia Gagulska, and sophomore Annabel Schepker, accompanied by Mme. Catherine Mazzola, embarked on a journey to Quebec, Canada. They shuffled onto a bus with seven James River High School French students and traveled to Washington D.C.'s Reagan National Airport to board a one and a half hour flight to Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.
Arriving in Montreal on Friday afternoon, the group began to layer on extra socks, tights, and sweaters, as they prepared to endure the -7 degree low of their destination in Quebec city. Hopping off the bus to Quebec, the students met their tour guide for the next four days and began trekking through the ice and snow of Old Quebec, a historic neighborhood filled with restaurants, gelato spots, clothing stores, and souvenir shops. Here, at historic Old Quebec, students had a great view of the Chateau Frontenac, a grand castle-like hotel, deemed the most photographed hotel in the world. Following the tour of the historic neighborhood, the students headed to their hotel, Hotel Classique, for some rest before their first full day in the city.
When Saturday morning came along, the students filed out of their rooms and met to eat a sausage and pancake-filled breakfast before departing to Plains of Abraham to re-enact a 1759 battle under the command of generals Wolfe & Montcalm. The students learned how to prepare a cannon during war and how to amputate a leg. After the thrilling reenactment, the group walked to the Quebec-Lévis Ferry port to board a ferry. Leaning against the ferry rails, students watched as the ship crossed the St. Lawrence River, pushing through small triangular icebergs the size of minivans and experiencing a sailor's view of Chateau Frontenac and Quebec city. Later that night, the students enjoyed free time at the Carnaval de Québec, an annual winter carnival. Weaving through halls of embellished ice, they enjoyed the art and the ice sculptures within Bonhomme's Castle, the ice castle which is the home of the cartoon icon, Bonhomme. All bundled up, the Midlothian students participated in activities such as ice hockey, snowball fights, a petting zoo, and a Quebec themed trivia wheel. After sharing a meal at La Vieille Maison du Spaghetti Restaurant where classy, tattooed French-Canadian men served them bread, lasagna, and cakes, the group walked to the Night Parade, where hundreds of locals and tourists stood shivering in mountains of snow to watch narwhals, owls, and snow-beings come to life. Claire O'Brien reports that "all the feeling in my toes were gone" after watching the parade in subfreezing weather.
Tired after walking over nine miles the previous day, the James River-Midlothian lot, woke up exhausted but nothing short of ecstatic for the next day of Canadian activities. Following a ham and toast breakfast, they traveled to Montmorency Falls, where they walked over a suspended bridge that extends over the waterfall, which is 30 meters higher than the Niagara Falls. There, they discovered that the waterfall's mist would freeze due to the frigid temperatures of Quebec, creating ice mountains and iced over walls on adjacent cliffs, which some locals climb in a similar fashion to rock climbing. Taking a break from hiking, they visited the Copper Museum, learning how to create their own "Repoussé" pieces. Next, the group visited a chocolate factory hidden in the mountains. They sampled fudge, cookies, rich and decadent hot chocolate before heading to lunch at a sugar shack (not to be confused with Sugar Shack Donuts). There, they danced and performed traditional Quebecois folk dance and song between their authentic Cabane à Sucre meal, consisting of sausage, potatoes, beans, meat pies, and pancakes dressed with famous Canadian maple syrup. Afterward, the group both made and tried their own maple syrup snow pops, produced from pouring syrup onto the snow from outside and then rolling up the stiffened syrup with Popsicle sticks. They ended the day by soaring down the Glissades de la Promenade, a massive sled hill, in classic snow sleds.
Lastly, on Monday, the final day of touring Quebec, the crew met up with several packs of huskies and proceeded to have them guide the groups through the snowy woods on sled. Weaving through a snowy wonderland on sleds led by beautiful huskies was noted to be "a dream come true" for Claire O'Brien.
Over the four days of bitter cold adventure, the students experienced an authentic Quebec winter, utilization of the French language in common day-to-day activity, and an acquisition of knowledge on French Canadian history, food, and sport.
Despite trudging through snow hours upon hours to find warmth in the destinations, it was a trip the Midlothian students will always cherish and remember.
Joy Li, Class of 2018

My food philosophy is simple;
I try not to eat foods that will provoke inflammation in my body. My food philosophy means that I avoid refined sugars and starch most of the time, so that's no sweets, cakes, biscuits or in fact anything made from grains. This includes many foods that in our society are considered staple foods and that are often marketed as being an essential part of a 'healthy, balanced diet', bread, pasta, rice and oats (no porridge for breakfast).
I also want to avoid the processed vegetable oils that are often added to packaged foods that can act to promote inflammation in our body. This leaves me with fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and eggs to eat as well as nuts and seeds. Food that is unrefined and unprocessed.
There are lots of books, magazines and TV programmes available at this time of year when we are all coming off the back of an overindulgent Christmas and feeling the motivation from our New Years resolutions to lose weight and become healthier.
I've been watching Tom Kerridge on his TV show working with overweight people whom he is teaching to cook and eat in such a way as to lose weight. He is using a simple low calorie method, substituting higher calorie foods (including some that I would consider very healthy like certain types of oils and fats) for lower calorie alternatives and using these ingredients in tasty recipes to tempt the participants of the show to cook from scratch with real ingredients rather than reaching for convenience foods which are often higher in calories. If he can get them to expend more calories than they are eating then they should lose weight. It's a simple equation.
The way I choose to eat is premised on a different belief about how the different types of food we eat impact on our bodies. To put it very simply, and apologies to anyone reading this who has an in depth knowledge of human physiology, the theory goes something like this;
When we eat sugar or starchy carbohydrates (cereals, rice, oats, pasta, potatoes, etc..) our body produces the hormone insulin to help process the sugar. When insulin is produced our body is prevented from burning fat for energy (fat metabolism) because it has easily available sugar to use. The body uses as much of the available sugar as it needs and then stores any extra away as fat.
As long as we are not eating too much of these sugary starches this is not a problem from a weight (or fat) management point of view. Problems arise when we are not burning off all of the sugar through activity and exercise and have left over sugars to store as fat.
If fat loss (usually the goal in weight loss attempts) is your goal then avoiding the insulin production that switches off your body's ability to burn fat for energy can be a very successful method of achieving it. To avoid insulin production all you have to do is avoid the foods that provoke it, sugars and starches.
Now, I am one of those 'lucky' people. I have a genetic make up that means I can eat mostly whatever I like and I don't gain much weight, I am naturally slim. But if I do eat lots of sugar and grains then I can go from my regular weight of 10st.2lbs (65kg) to over 11st. in not much more than a week. Is this fat storage? I don't think so. I think it is evidence of my body retaining fluid, becoming swollen in response to consuming foods that inflame and irritate my body. I will feel bloated and uncomfortable, tired and lethargic. It's not the way I want to feel so I don't do it (often). When I go back to my normal eating habits I lose that additional weight in a week or so, it's just fluid I think.
I sometimes talk to my patients about food and I've noticed a wide range of views and beliefs on the subject. It's a very sensitive subject for many of us as our beliefs stem from early life experiences, likes and dislikes. The way we eat is intimately related to our emotional state. I know for instance that I use the foods I really like as rewards. My instinct is to get to the end of a tough day and binge on comforting foods as a treat. It's a complex business trying to understand our relationships with food and I am not an expert.
I therefore am not seeking to recommend my way of eating to you but simply want to share with you what I do and why I do it. If it is not right for you then that's ok with me. If you take anything at all away from what I show you to use as part of your own food philosophy then that's great but I am not interested in judging others for their food choices. I certainly have my own views about what is healthy and what's not but also acknowledge that we are individuals and what's healthy for my metabolism (see above) may not be right for yours.
Eating based on how it makes you feel is not a bad way to go and certainly if you try something that makes you feel terrible I would stop and take a different approach.
Anyway, I am going to share some recipes, make some videos and offer more thoughts on my own eating habits. I have a small weight management goal myself for this year. I am cycling an event called Mallorca 312 at the end of April. This is a ride of 312Km in one day starting in the North of the island, going over the big mountain range in the North West, down almost to Palma and then back up through the middle of the island to get back to Alcudia. It's going to be a long day in the saddle and the lighter I am the less energy I will have to expend hauling myself over the mountains, and if I can adapt my body to efficiently burn fat for energy I become much less reliant on continually refuelling with carbohydrates to make it through the journey.
I'll tell you more about the training for the 312 over the next few posts but for now I want to answer one of the most frequent questions people ask me about my food philosophy, "What do you have for breakfast?"
Here is a short video with the answer.
Bon Appetite!

Gospel: Jn 16:20-23a
Truly, I say to you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy. A woman in childbirth is in distress because her time is at hand. But after the child is born, she no longer remembers her suffering because of her great joy: a human being is born into the world. You feel sorrowful now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice; and no one will take your joy from you. When that day comes you will not ask me anything.
Do not be afraid, but continue speaking and do not be silent Paul experienced much persecution as he proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus. Though imprisoned several times, he never gave up. Throughout his missionary journeys the Lord promised him, "Do not be afraid… I am with you." Many times we complain to the Lord, "Lord, after all I have done for you, why do you allow me and my loved ones to suffer?" However, discipleship to Jesus does not exempt us from suffering. In fact Jesus forewarned his disciples of their unavoidable persecution. Jesus does not promise to spare us from pain; he promises to be with us in our suffering.

Hawaii is the ultimate vacation destination with its lush vegetation and sparkling blue waters. This state consists of eight separate islands: the Big Island of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau, and Kahoolawe. Each island has its own defining characteristics and list of can't-miss activities. Hawaii is a six-hour flight from Los Angeles and while many repeat vacationers have a favorite island they return to every time, travel between the islands is easy and relatively inexpensive. This allows a traveler to experience the excitement of multiple Hawaiian islands in one trip.
Snorkeling is at the top of the list for things to do in Hawaii, and people travel from all over the world to explore Hawaii's reefs. Hawaii is home to majestic sea life such as the Hawaiian green sea turtle, moray eels, parrotfish, and the popular but difficult to pronounce humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa. Take a day trip to Molokini by boat for some of the best snorkeling in Maui. If you have room in your luggage, purchase snorkel gear at home and pack it for the trip. This ensures you will have quality equipment throughout your vacation and saves you money on overpriced rentals.

West Ham have been told by Sporting Lisbon that they want a staggering £36million for William Carvalho.
The Irons have representatives in Portugal trying to thrash out a deal for the highly-rated holding midfielder who would become their sixth signing of a productive summer.
West Ham have already landed England keeper Joe Hart, Stoke forward Marko Arnautovic for a club-record £24million, ex-Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez for £17million and Pablo Zabaleta from Manchester City on a free transfer.
This week the club also confirmed the arrival of 18-year-old attacking midfielder Sead Haksabanovic for £2.7million.
The Hammers' £27.1million bid for Carvalho went in to Sporting earlier this week. The Irons were told that they would have to pay closer to the £36.1million asking price if they want to take him.
The valuation has not scared West Ham off with the club determined to add quality to their midfield before the window closes.
Key midfielder Cheikou Kouyate is out injured and will miss at least the first month of the season. When fit, West Ham believe he would form a powerful combination with Carvalho in the middle of the park.
Carvalho has 37 caps for Portugal and was a member of the squad that lifted the Euro2016 title last summer.
West Ham are now willing to listen to offers for Robert Snodgrass with Aston Villa interested.
Winger Sofiane Feghouli is also likely to go to Galatasaray.

International Space Settlement Design Competition challenge to high school students – design an orbiting space station that can house 11,000 people and catch asteroids. A team of more than 30 Friday Harbor High School students readily accepted that challenge. The end result put the group in the top four to compete in the competition's World's Finals at the Kennedy Space Center in July.
"The judges have a whole universe they constructed, and we have to look at their research and expand on it," Arlo Harold, a team member, said. Last year the team won second place in the finals. This year, with another project under their belt, they are hoping for first. The competition is sponsored by the National Space Society, a nonprofit dedicated to the creation of a spacefaring civilization, according to the website.
The Friday Harbor Aerospace Design Team presented its project to the public on June 10. Prior to the public presentation, the teens met with and presented their results to Washington Gov. Jay Inslee during his visit to Friday Harbor June 6.
Friday Harbor High School teacher Daniel Garner explained to attendees that the students needed to understand Requests for Proposals and develop technical writing skills since those aspects are key to the project and the fields of engineering and design.
Senior Lucy Urbach began the presentation by explaining how the design team organized itself into groups: systems engineering; structural engineering; operations and infrastructure; human factors; automation engineering; business and marketing and imaging.
The teams at least two months discussing even the minor details and debating how best to solve engineering issues, she said.
Harold and Julian Brown spoke on a few of the engineering aspects of the project.
"The packet had thousands of questions and we had to work through all of them," Harold said, adding that the request for proposal packet from the settlement design competition detailing the project's requirements was 40 pages long.
The structural engineer group consisted of Harold, Brown, Nick Herko, Evan Foley, Jonah Strasbourger, and Bailee Lambright. The engineers were tasked with designing electronic arms for the capture of the asteroid; safety features like thick radiation protection for the residents; creating an open vacuum storage area for easy shipping and receiving; and efficient magnetic connections between the rotating and nonrotating parts of the station, among other issues.
Senior graduate Brandon Payne explained some of the operational features.
"[Operations and infastructure] was a heavy responsibility," Payne said, noting that the team was charged with ensuring there was enough food, water, and air for the 11,000 people. Besides being in charge of organizing life-sustaining robots Transportation on and around the station and loading and unloading various cargo.
"It was a fascinating challenge," Payne said. Also in that committee were Emmett Carrier, Henry Duke, Aidan Shannon, Ryker Mattox, Emma Mughal, and Satchel Pieples.
The design team needed to consider the human aspects of the station. The layout for housing needed to be comfortable, so the students created entertainment options; they also took into consideration the inhabitants' safety, like ensuring there were enough spacesuits for everyone. They also designed the settlement to have a homey, comfortable. To give the layout an open feel, for example, areas with long lines of sight were created.
That team included Nick Copley, Nate Clarke, Weston Swirtz Hannah VanEvery, and Sander VanHamersfeld.
Automation and engineer team included Darcy Ayers, Liz Cruz, Hank Ericson, Gavin Flaum Joely Loucks and Luke Waite. This group was in charge of engineering a computer network system for the station and creating robots for personal use, as well as to help with mining the asteroid.
The business and marketing team included Keegan Bailey, Jaden Jones, Payton Malloy, Ally Pauls and Octavio Olvera. Jones addressed the audience and explained that the team reviewed and kept track of the cost of everything. The total cost of the station was 13.8 trillion dollars, he noted. This committee also organized refining and processing centers, labs and security systems for different levels of clearance.
Garner told the audience the team will have a few weeks break before preparing for the finals. In Cape Canaveral, he said, the team will be given a design challenge even more complicated than the one for which they recently were awarded, and the students will have only 42 hours to complete the project. The competition will be tough, but the Friday Harbor team has evolved to work tightly together and consult with one another.
"You can have a brilliant mind, but if you can't communicate it, it doesn't matter," Garner said.

Manager Chris Wilder says John Egan is still in with a chance of being available for Sunday's showdown with Manchester United.
The defender, ever present in the Premier League this season, was withdrawn from the Republic of Ireland's draw against Denmark after a clash of heads, but Wilder has confirmed there remains a possibility of the former Brentford ace being passed fit for the visit of the Red Devils.
Wilder is happy with his options should Egan not make Sunday's game, hailing the experienced Phil Jagielka for his contribution when called upon this season.

boss is leaving
.. and it's not good news for me. Though I am relatively new in my current workplace, I liked my boss here. He's my type. I don't like people who go on preaching how you should be there on time, should not take leaves, and such boring things just because those are rules. And this boss was cool about all these things. I even liked the way he took my interview (may be because he selected me ;)). Jokes apart, many small companies who are hiring technical writer for the first time wouldn't know what to do with them. But this one was different, he knew what he wanted from the candidate. Even after I came on board, I liked the way he got work done from me.
He has got super-cool attitude, has very good sense of humor, and is typical intellectual-looking Bengali guy. One more interesting thing is he used to keep a jar of candies on his desk and offer those candies to people who went to meet him. It's really a sweet idea, I'm gonna try it.
I'm going to miss the boss (though it's very rare that a boss will ever be missed).

DSC was at Snetterton yesterday to see RLR Msport test its new ORECA 07 Gibson which it will campaign in the full 2019 European Le Mans Series season.
In attendance at the test was Canadian John Farano, who will be racing with the team next year. The test was Farano's second run in an LMP2, after he got his first taste at Silverstone with the team recently.
"Next year is all going to be about learning the next level, but the fun factor is going to be there. I'm really looking forward to it," he told DSC.
"When I drove the ORECA for the first time at Silverstone, the biggest problem I had was vision. The cockpit is much smaller, so actually seeing out is more difficult, compared to the LMP3 which has a big cockpit. I couldn't grasp that at Silverstone but here at Snetterton I feel so much better.
"What I've learned in LMP3 is transferable, you just have to be prepared for the high-speed corners."
At Snetterton, Farano with regular RLR Msport driver Job Van Uitert turned laps throughout the day, setting consistent times on the 200 circuit in the 1:02-03s, as the team continued to get up to speed with the car.
"Once we've got out line-up in place we'll look at what our goals are. We'll be competing as hard as anyone. This is all about buying the right car, running the right programme and doing it right. There's plenty still to do though.
"After the ELMS race at Portimao there's a three-day test at the circuit, so we'll be there for that."
In addition to competing in the ELMS next year, Farano hopes that by winning the LMP3 title at Portimao (he currently holds a healthy lead in the standings with RLR), that the team can head to Le Mans next year with an automatic invite, and potentially, race in the Rolex 24 in January before the European season starts.
"I've driven Le Mans three times in the past, but not in the main race, I hope we can race there in 2019. We hope to put the 24 Hours of Datyona on there too. If we do that, we won't have any other testing time after Portimao, but we'll get the Roar in January and the late test in December at Daytona, we're working on it.
"I've run at Daytona many times, and there's a lot I like about it. The car is well suited to the track, and it's a great way to prepare for the season, we'll almost be using the Rolex as a test. It suits everybody in the team and other drivers we hope we can have come along too.
"As a Gentlemen, I like what they've done with splitting the classes, it's perfect. IMSA recognised that they needed the change. I'm now interested in doing an IMSA programme with the long races, one day maybe we'll do that in the future too.
"After a run at Daytona we'd then get some more testing done, we'll try and do the Dunlop test pre-season, then go to Paul Ricard, then get some testing in between Paul Ricard and Monza at Barcelona to learn that circuit, which is new for me."
RLR Msport is currently speaking to multiple drivers to join Farano next year, announcements will come in due course.

Sunday @ The Forum
Revive: A Gift to you in your Spiritual Growth
Being busy and active in the church does not necessarily mean we are connecting with God nor does it mean we know the first thing about our faith. All of us, ordained and lay can find themselves caught up in many wonderful activities, knowing a lot about God and doing a lot for God but not necessarily knowing God and growing spiritually. How do we go from doing ministry for the church to being in a relationship with this life-giving empowering God?
Revive aims to provide a supportive structure to help that relationship with God reignite and come alive! Together we will explore our spiritual stories, communicating with God, engaging scripture, and our call to ministry.
Each Session has a short video followed by discussion or spiritual exercise. Here are some upcoming classes:
March 1: Introduction to Revive
March 8: Our Spiritual Stories
March 15: What is Prayer?
March 23: Does God Answer Prayers?
March 30: Special Guest: Dawn Davis

R.I.P. Nelson Mandela
December 6, 2013 Leave a comment
"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."
A man who made a free South Africa possible, a man who taught perseverance, forgiveness and compassion, a man who left the world a far better place than he found it. A giant of our generation and a man worth our admiration, respect and our condolences, has left a hole in the moral compass of the world, not just South Africa. We should all take some time to reflect on his accomplishments and I hope you are not too jaded by the world, or stripped of your compassion to understand that a man like Nelson Mandela, is worth grieving for.
