Denison students gathered together in the Moshier-Huchison basement on Sept. 18, to finally celebrate the opening of La Fuerza Latina's new common space. Last semester, the organization drafted a proposal to get their own space, rather than rent one, so that members could have a place to call their own.
The ceremony began with attendees joining hands and reciting the Mayan-inspired poem "Pensomiento Serpentino," a pledge said at the beginning of every meeting. This was followed by warm words from President Weinberg, Nelly Benitez '15 of Evanston, Ill., who serves as the current president of La Fuerza Latina, and Associate Professor of Spanish Dosinda Alvite, who serves as La Fuerza's advisor.
"Our future is going to be shaped by people being able to accept and love diversity," President Weinberg said. "It's going to be shaped by a generation that loves the way difference gets them outside of their comfort zone."
After the ribbon cutting, there was a celebration complete with Latin American dishes and music. The space includes a lounge, study areas, an office, and a kitchenette.
"I'm actually at a loss for words in terms of acquiring the space," Benitez said. "To know that my freshman year, we were in a little room, and there were 12-15 of us on a good day, and that we pushed to make it bigger and accomplished…this is amazing."
"Before now, they were like nomads having to meet at these different places for a limited time," Alvite said. "This is like a point of reference and stability for them. They deserve it."
Treasurer Anissa Gamboa '17 of Chicago, Ill. and public relations officer David Avalos '17 of Los Angeles, Calif., were very pleased with the outcome.
"I was close friends with a lot of the previous seniors and I saw how passionate they were about La Fuerza," Gamboa said. "I feel that there are great things in store for us and the underrepresented population on campus."
"Being able to finally have our own space will allow for us to flourish to our fullest potential," Avalos added. "It was well needed, seeing that Hispanic/Latino students are the largest minority group on campus."
Although getting the space was a major accomplishment for the club, there are still kinks to be worked out. "Getting our space has been a struggle," Benitez said. "Even so after we got it approved, there was no type of clarification—to our understanding, the space was all for us, but I guess over the summer there was a decision made that several other areas are also open to the public. We're a little bummed out about that; we definitely want to talk to DCGA and clarify."
If you are interested in learning more about La Fuerza Latina, their meetings are held every Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

Rangers wrap successful weekend with win against reigning league champs
Anthony Dumont-Bouchard kept his Ontario Hockey League record pristine as the Kitchener Rangers dropped the Erie Otters, 3-2, in front of 4,725 fans at the Erie Insurance Arena on Saturday night.
Since coming to the Rangers (3-1-1-0) via Barrie, by way of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, the 20-year-old veteran has been a reliable last line of defence for the Blueshirts; tonight making 25 saves to spoil the home opener for the defending OHL champion Otters (1-3-1-0).
Dumont-Bouchard improved his record to 3-0-0-0 on the season, while his counterpart Troy Timpano saw his line dip to 1-2-1-0 after allowing three goals on 16 shots in the loss.
The win rounds out a 3-in-3 weekend for the Rangers, who captured five of a possible six points against the Otters tonight, Windsor on Thursday (W), and last night versus Owen Sound (OTL).
Joseph Garreffa gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead at 7:11 of the opening frame, a power play goal, assisted by Adam Mascherin and Logan Stanley.
Just under three minutes later they extended their lead to 2-0 after Connor Hall, down low, found Jake Henderson near the hash marks who buried his second of the season. Nick McHugh earned the second assist on the goal, coming at 9:53.
Before the period was out the Otters would etch the scoresheet, as Gera Poddubnyi cut the Rangers lead to 2-1 at 16:36, from Maxim Golod and Ryan Martin, to round out first period scoring.
Shots on goal in the first period of play favoured Erie, 12-7.
After a scoreless second, Mascherin tallied his third of the season with a beautiful, highlight-reel snipe from behind the goal line, giving Kitchener a 3-1 lead at 3:54, from Greg Meireles and Garreffa.
Christian Girhiny would answer back for the Otters, cutting the Rangers lead to 3-2 after banking a pass from Patrick Fellows into a gaping net. Joseph Mack earned the second assist on the goal at 5:50 of the third.
The Otters pulled Timpano in the closing minutes of the frame, but failed to tally the equalizer.
Shots on goal in the second period were 5-5, and 11-5 Erie in the third period for a game total of 27-16, Otters.
Kitchener finished the game making half of their opportunities on the man advantage count, going 1-for-2. Erie was 0-for-3 in their power play chances.
The two teams meet again on Friday, as the Otters visit The Aud to take on the Rangers on October 6th for a 7:30pm start.
Stanley, Mascherin, and Henderson each wore an "A" and skated as alternates. Captain Connor Bunnaman missed the game to flu-like symptoms.
Regular season tickets to all Kitchener Rangers home games are $23.00 each for adults, $19.00 for children 12 and under including HST, and are available in person or by calling the Activa Box Office at The Aud, from Centre in the Square (519) 578-1570 -or- 1-800-265-8977, or by purchasing online.

As I mentioned in a previous post I've been working with an ancestor, Annawynn, to learn more about the energies and ways to use the Runes. She told me to do a few things; one of which was to go to the lower world and journey to meet the spirits of the Runes.
So, last night I did just that. I asked Crow to take me to the spirit of a Rune – whichever Rune I needed to meet. Crow took me to the spirit of Fehu. I spoke with this spirit to learn about the real "nature" of the Rune. Some of what the spirit told me was nothing new but it did expand one key concept: Fehu as the medium of exchange.
Not only is Fehu money (our most prominent medium of exchange) but Fehu is the energy field that connects all living thing and allows for energetic transfers. The field is not strong, nor weak – it simply is and always has been. It is the beginning of all forms of exchange – energetic or otherwise.
I'm planning on (1) journeying every night for the next few weeks and (2) making a video, perhaps in one shot at the end of each week, expanding on my experiences with the spirits of the Runes.

This Month in the Garden, June 2019 with Derek Cox
During May a number of self seeded Lunaria annus 'Albo Variegata', pictured here, were at their best their creamy-white variegated, nettle shaped leaves giving a superb backdrop to its sprays of small mauve-pink flowers.
This attractive annual will attain two feet (60cm) or more in height and is tough enough to self seed in most garden soils. The normal green leaf species is well known under its common name of honesty, its added attraction being its flat, round seed pods that are often used by flower arrangers.
I often find time to pop along to Goscote Nurseries on Syston Road, Cossington, which I helped to start during March 1964. Inevitably I usually come away with yet another one, or two new plant introductions. Last week whilst there I spotted and could not resist Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Irene Paterson', pictured right, an evergreen New Zealand shrub whose new leaves are almost white. This shrub is slow growing and produces small yellow flowers during the summer. I have a feeling this might be a little tender so I shall pot it up and put it in my greenhouse during the winter months.
Abelia x grandiflora 'Lady Peach', pictured below, is a dwarf, dense, evergreen shrub whose narrow green leaves are richly edged with peachy-gold. Its bell shaped white tinged pink flowers are produced during late summer. This will also remain as a container grown plant to over winter in my greenhouse.
I must admit that whenever we go to a garden centre, or nursery, my wife Vi will say to me 'You must not buy anymore plants as the garden is so full'. That was until my daughter Louise and her hubby James took us to Bretby Garden Centre. There Vi came across some superb Sempervivums and bought six, needless to say then we had to purchase a low round container in which to plant them, see picture below.
At one time I had over 50 varieties of Sempervivums (house leeks) which the blackbirds would pull up and throw about in their search for wood pigs (pill bugs). I wonder how long it will be before they set about Vi's container?
At the same garden centre I spotted nine cm pots of a brilliant orange Gazania that must have been grown in a greenhouse to have been in flower by early May. I planted this in my sandy loam in full sun as Gazanias, like most South African plants will only open their flowers in brilliant light.
I love May as all of my Japanese maples are in full leaf. My oldest is a 50 year old, 15 feet (4.5m) tall Acer palmatum 'Atropurpureum' whose rich, red leaves add a difference to the tree colours in my garden.
'Oridono Nishiki' is the same age and almost as tall, but the foliage is outstanding being, white, pink, or even a combination of both colours. As young plants variegated Japanese maples are prone to sun scorch, but my old plant has come through some dry, sunny years without showing any sign of scorch.
My first early potato 'Rocket' which I planted in 50 litre black tree tubs during the 15th March are now two feet (60cm) tall and by late May are ready for us to harvest as new potatoes. The skins are so thin you can almost rub them off with your fingers.
My runner beans 'St George' are now almost 6 feet (1.8m) tall on their canes in 50 litre tree tubs and would you believe it, they are now in flower so I shall expect to be picking beans in three weeks time.

The body's organs and muscles benefits greatly from massage. It increases circulation and stimulates the cells for better function. Massage moves toxins and help mobilize hormones. Healthy organs and muscles mean good function, metabolism and energy! Shiatsu Acupressure, Tui Na, Reflexology or Acustim therapy can accomplish these goals effectively and safely. Like an automobile, our body requires these tune ups for improved performance and reliability. Listen to your body. It will be a lot easier to address the problem sooner than later. Enjoying your age and your life begins with good health.
Have you ever gotten a massage from a therapist, came out feeling amazing, and wanting more a few days later? If so, you have probably thought about a massage chair at one point or another. You'd think that you're getting the same thing, right? This is entirely true. A massage from a massage chair can be relaxing, and feel good if you have the right chair, but there are no real therapeutic benefits to opting for a chair as opposed to a massage therapist.
There a lot of target regions that you may want addressed when getting a massage, it's easy to tell a massage therapist exactly where to focus on, with a chair, this is nearly impossible. Massage chairs have gained popularity over the past few years as an affordable alternative to going to see a therapist. A good portion of what makes a massage stress relieving for you is the intimate interaction with another human. It's this feeling of acceptance, and intimacy that keeps clients coming back to the same therapist again and again. Ask anyone who owns a massage chair how often they used it after the first week. There is a good chance that the appeal of it wore off after they realized that a massage isn't just prodding and rubbing on your back.
The position a client is in also has a lot to do with the satisfaction rate of the massage. In a massage chair you are sitting upright. In this position it's relatively easy to massage the neck and back, but it gets much harder to adequately massage other areas such as the legs, feet, and glutes. When the experience from a massage chair, and that of a masseuse are compared, the differences are immeasurable. An Orlando massage therapy session will go a long ways in improving your health and stress level.
Wendell has a Bachelor's Degree in Physical Therapy from Iligan Medical Center College and a diploma in Massage Therapy from Southeast Institute of Oriental Medicine. He obtained the Excellence Award for Tui Na Chinese Medical Massage and has a private practice in Clermont, Florida.

Dexter Fletcher and Kayvan Novak join Rev for third series
Story by Jack Foley
THE third series of hit BBC sitcom Rev has commenced filming and will see actor-director Dexter Fletcher and Fonejacker star Kayvan Novak among its guests.
The programme stars Tom Hollander as inner city vicar Reverend Adam Smallbone and will follow him as he faces up to the pressures of parenthood with his wife Alex (Olivia Colman).
Filming on the third series had been delayed because of the blossoming careers of its stars Hollander and Colman, who are in-demand for both film and TV work.
However, work is now underway on a further six episodes that will be screened next Spring (2014).
Fletcher, who is currently enjoying cinematic success with his latest directorial offering Sunshine On Leith, will play an award-winning modern artist, while Novak will play a local Imam.
Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville will also reprise his role as Adam's arch rival Roland Wise, while Simon McBurney and Miles Jupp will also return.
Created by Hollander and James Wood, Rev was crowned best situation comedy at the 2011 BAFTAS.
Next story: Steve McQueen and HBO set to unite for New York-based series

EU faces grim scenario after French no
Europe faces a scenario of prolonged stagnation or worse, the very foundations of its future in question, after France's rejection of the EU's constitution Sunday, analysts said.
The charter, drawn up in three years of delicate negotations, appeared near dead in the water because all 25 members of the expanded European Union must ratify the text if it is to come into effect.
European leaders have repeatedly said there is no "plan B".
The most immediate question is whether the poll, in which 55 percent of French voters spurned the treaty according to exit polls, will trigger a domino-like effect across Europe, starting with the next referendum in the Netherlands on Wednesday.
"Probably it will ensure a comparable majority (for the "no" camp) in the Netherlands, and then we will have had two founding members of the Union ... having rejected the treaty," said John Palmer from the European Policy Centre.
That scenario could lead to turmoil when EU heads of state and government meet for a summit in Brussels on June 16 and 17.
Leaders could be faced with killing off the treaty or pushing on despite the rot that has already set in.
"I think it possible at the (EU summit) in the middle of June ... that they may wish to continue with the ratification process because there is a democratic case. Just because the Dutch and French voted (no) should not deprive other people of voting or ratifying the treaty," said Palmer.
Austria and Germany last week ratified the constitution, which is aimed at streamlining decision making in the enlarged 25-member Union, bringing to nine the number of countries which have said yes.
Some 220 million Europeans are now in the yes camp, almost 49 percent of the EU population, according to the European Commission.
"You can't say (that because) France has voted no, people are against further European integration," said Marco Incerti, from the Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels.
"At least until the end of this year, the ratification process could continue. By then you will have four referenda, there will be one in Luxembourg in July, one in Denmark in September and one in Portugal in October, apart from the Dutch one of course.
"You will have more of a mass of information to work on. Then you can say: 'Well yes, in fact many people are saying yes to the treaty so it may be necessary to ask the French again'."
Charles Grant of the London-based Centre for the European Reform said leaders may announce a "pause for reflection" before convening a new intergovernmental conference (IGC) to produce a radically cut down new treaty.
But even in the best of scenarios, the EU could be facing "a period of confusion, uncertainty and recrimination," he said.
Virtually no one believes that changing parts of the constitution might be an option, indeed most fear it would only unravel the whole process and ultimately result in a very similar new document being reproduced.
Other processes may also be blocked. The European Union's budget from 2007 to 2013 is a case in point and it may ultimately take a change of governments in some of the member states for any real movement to resume.
"We may be in for a period, I don't know how long it will last, I suspect until we have new political leaderships in some of the key European countries," said Palmer. "And there are elections due in Germany, Italy and France over the next two years."

About vocalists
Vocals are a really important part of most musical genres and vocal roles range from singing the main melody to providing backing or harmony vocals. Some vocalists also write the melody line and lyrics, but songwriting is normally considered a separate skill, known as topline.
Vocalists on Twine can provide everything from features to full length vocals in almost any genre. A high quality vocal can help lift your songs to another level. The same goes for commercial music. For things like radio adverts, a good song can be really attention-grabbing - but if your singing sounds like a dying cat, getting a singer will be necessary to get those all important conversions.
On Twine, you'll find talented professional vocalists with a wide variety of experience in almost any genre.

Well the first white stuff (in this case hail) has fallen from the sky. The high temp for yesterday was about 4 C. I've pretty much given up on doing any more work on the boat this year. Pulled the epoxy in from the shed about a week ago.
I got done pretty much what I wanted to get done this year. There's some structure in the boat. Getting more done would have been nice. It's only when you do something like this photo below that you realize how big/long a commitment a project like this is:
Anyhow, that's it for this year. See you all in the spring.

I want to raise money for this program by cycling from the Netherlands to Italy in order to create awareness for the program. I believe that child care is the most important source to the development of society. No child should ever go days on end without food in their stomachs. Unfortunately, due to this crises, children are not capable of growing in a healthy, safe and productive environment. More attention can be placed in this area which is why I want to raise money for this program.

Well the season hasn't quite gone as I'd intended, and if you'd told me at the beginning of the year what was likely to unfold I would never have believed you. Haven't ridden at any rides, but on the plus side, I did get the pony halfway to Wetherby before the box cut out, so I know that he still loads and travels well. And we've found a very good diesel specialist, recommended by my wonderful farrier, who hopefully has (touch wood) fixed the box – it became a matter of principle for him, and he did it!
So instead of riding we got about a bit and helped. Had a wonderful weekend helping at the Lions Tail for the Riding Club Endurance Championships, and a lovely day in the sun helping at a new Notts ride. Then an absolutely marvellous long weekend helping out at Red Dragon, such a good laugh with a really good volunteer team and also a real eye opener – I learnt such a lot.
My career longevity article has been published which I have been working on for some time. Hopefully it will prove useful.
And then, I went and did something really silly. Various people (you know who you are….) used their best persuasive skills to get me to put myself forwards for the Board. I figured 'Well I can always put myself forwards for election, and if the members want me then they'll vote for me and if they don't then they won't'. Only there weren't enough candidates to force an election which means that I am currently enjoying my last couple of weeks of 'freedom' before the AGM and I get to sign my life away for the next three years. It's a very daunting and challenging prospect but I hope that I will do a good job. Eeek!

After Evanston Mayor Steve Hagerty called an emergency City Council session Friday morning to discuss opting out of a Cook County minimum wage increase, crowds of protesters and lawmakers showed up to lobby against the move.
Individual towns in Cook County can opt out of the increase, which raises the minimum wage from $8.25 to $10 an hour and takes effect July 1. The county measure also increases the minimum wage another dollar each of the next three years.
Hagerty called the emergency meeting on Thursday, and proposed a discussion to consider opting out of the ordinance at the council's July 10 meeting. In response, newly elected City Clerk Devon Reid posted a statement on Facebook questioning whether the meeting was legal and indeed justified an emergency.
"The city's failure to plan for or anticipate events of neighboring municipalities, whatever the merits of those decisions or the merits of the City of Evanston opting out of the county ordinance, does not constitute a bona fide emergency," he wrote.
Supporters of the minimum wage hike, including U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-9th, demonstrated on the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center steps before the meeting. Soon after calling it to order, the mayor and Ald. Don Wilson told the approximately 150 people in the audience that there would not be a vote and the minimum wage hike would stand.
"We're not going to opt out. It's taking effect tomorrow. We're not even having a vote on it," Wilson said.
"The city of Evanston should be a leader not a follower," said Ald. Tom Suffredin, whose father, Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin, wrote the county ordinance and was also present at the Evanston meeting.
"I support implementation of the Cook County minimum wage ordinance. I believe the community has spoken loud and clear," Hagerty said.
The emergency meeting was called Thursday after recent decisions in Wilmette and Skokie on opting out of the minimum wage ordinance. Wilmette voted to opt out and Skokie recently announced it will consider doing the same. Oak Park is scheduled to consider a similar measure later today.
Many in the audience at the Friday morning meeting expressed frustration with the emergency session, wondering why it was called if the city supported the ordinance and did not need to take action for it to take effect.
"I do feel like this meeting was a colossal waste of time," said Evanston resident Allison Maguire. She said either aldermen gave in to last-minute pressure, especially on social media, to reconsider their support of the minimum wage increase, or "you just wanted to have a big rally and kumbaya in the council chamber on my time."
Some aldermen agreed.
"People should be working and earning a living wage instead of taking time off to attend a meeting for no reason. We were going to opt in anyway," said Ald. Ann Rainey, 8th.
Linda Larkin, executive director of the Evanston Chamber of Commerce, said some member businesses will be hit by the new minimum wage hike. But, she said, businesses owners should have spoken up long before the ordinance was set to take effect.
Some employers "are having to lay off people, they are having to cut benefits" in order to meet the new minimum wage requirements, Larkin said.
But "the reaction to this particular bill was knee-jerk. I started getting calls on this on Tuesday. We should have gotten calls on this last year," Larkin said.
Ald. Peter Braithwaite, 2nd, and Ald. Melissa Wynne, 3rd, compelled audience members to shop local and support the businesses that will be paying their neighbors a higher minimum wage.
"With this increase, we will need to support our businesses, and some of us will have to change our behavior," Braithwaite said.
Wynne was more direct.
"This is a test to what Evanston is as a community," she said. "You must buy it locally and not off the internet," which diverts money from Evanston businesses.
Hagerty directed those in the packed council chambers to attend Oak Park's council meeting later that night and the Skokie council meeting on July 6 and ask them to uphold the Cook County minimum wage ordinance.
"You looking for something to do? Go to Skokie and put pressure on Skokie and make sure they understand the importance of raising the minimum wage," and Oak Park, "a community we hold up as a sister community to Evanston," Hagerty said.
After the meeting, Reid said that the morning council session did not violate the Open Meetings Act — even though a quorum of the council was present — because it was not called to order and no roll call or votes were taken.
Latest Evanston
But Reid conceded there were better ways to organize a gathering than to summon aldermen to the to the chambers with less than 48 hours notice.
"It still, optically, is not the greatest way to call a public forum," Reid said.

Helpful Scholarship Tips - Top 4 Scholarship Mistakes
- Private Scholarships: Did you know that scholarships are offered by private organizations and states? Colorado is one of the 41 states that offer scholarships to students.
- Applying for too few scholarships: Getting lots of small scholarships adds up. Smaller scholarships are often less competitive, so your chances of winning several of these awards is better.
- Not Following Instructions and Other Application Mistakes: Always double-check your work, and better yet, get someone else to review it for you. A second set of eyes can help you catch mistakes.
- Pay attention to deadlines: This can be the biggest mistake you make! Create a timeline for each scholarship and remember it doesn't pay to procrastinate

Fall 2019 MenswearAmbush
"I wanted to freeze the beach," said Ambush's Yoon Ahn during a private appointment at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, where a photo shoot for her Fall lookbook was taking place. Last season, Ahn went for a streetwise-surfer aesthetic. This time, she's dipped the temperatures—imbuing, along with the plunge, something of a futuristic alien verve into her compelling ready-to-wear. "It's loosely based on the movie The Man Who Fell to Earth," said the designer. "But really it's about being on the run, on the go . . . about someone, maybe a visitor, who is on their way. And it's meant to be comfortable. There are a lot of cottons, a lot of wools."
Ahn's profile has risen dramatically since last summer, due largely to her appointment as Kim Jones's jewelry chief at Dior Homme (Ambush began as a jewelry line). In the months since, Ahn has collaborated—and will continue to collaborate—with Nike and expanded Ambush's offerings. This collection is her biggest yet, and it includes another partnership, this time with Converse on brilliant (and sure to be copped) rubberized boots. They feature a raised sole, layered seams, and utilitarian markings like Keep double laced to hold firmly. They're one of the strongest shoe styles of the season so far.

Encouraged by signs that consumers are itching to hit the road, the region's travel industry is looking forward to a summer travel season that just might be stronger than last year's "staycation" summer.
"The conventional wisdom is there's a pent-up demand for vacations and getaways," said Betsy Wall, executive director of the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism. "There was a lack of consumer confidence last year, but people are feeling more confident."
No one is predicting a record year. Unemployment in Massachusetts remains high. There's still plenty of economic uncertainty. But any bump over last year would be significant for an industry that has suffered.
The U.S. Travel Association estimates that total travel spending in the United States dropped 8.9 percent to $704.4 billion in 2009 from 2008. Not counting foreign visitors, travel spending by U.S. residents in 2009 was down an estimated 7.9 percent to $610.2 billion.
That kind of downturn hurts Massachusetts, where travel and tourism is the third-largest industry.
In 2008, the most recent year for which statistics are available, travel spending in Massachusetts by U.S. residents totaled $13.5 billion. Travel spending in Worcester County totaled nearly $689 million in 2008, the fifth-largest amount of travel spending among counties that year. Travel also supported about 5,400 jobs and $140.8 million in payroll, and it generated nearly $14.7 million in taxes for local communities, according to the U.S. Travel Association.
"The industry is seeing improvements, but they're slow, they're gradual," said Patrick Lynch, executive director of Destination Worcester, which focuses on attracting meetings and events to Worcester. "I don't think anyone is expecting to see anything strong until 2011, and that's provided we stay on the track we're on right now."
One of the indicators industry insiders are watching is advance bookings at hotels and other lodgings. During the recession, consumers became last-minute travelers, putting off decisions about travel until just days before leaving. Yet large resorts on Cape Cod, a popular destination for Central Massachusetts residents, are reporting substantially better advance bookings for this summer compared to last year, according to Wendy K. Northcross, chief executive of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce.
"People wait for the weather, they wait to see if their spouse can get the day off or their friends can get the day off," Mrs. Northcross said. "So the fact we have advance bookings for the Fourth of July and beyond is very good news."
Paul C. Picknelly, owner and president of the Worcester Hilton Garden Inn, said the downtown hotel's first big event that will determine how the summer season fares will be the New England Summer Nationals car show during the Fourth of July weekend.
"We are completely sold out, and the demand is still there," Mr. Picknelly said.
State travel officials are optimistic, too, based on lodging data from April. Hotel occupancy was up 12.3 percent in April in Massachusetts over the same month last year, while the similar comparison for the United States was up just 3 percent, said Ms. Wall.
Their optimism, however, is tempered by another trend among travelers: the search for deals. Whether they're staying close to home or piling into a car or plane for a trip, consumers want discounts.
"We expect the number of visitors to be higher (this summer)," Ms. Wall said. "We do not expect individuals or families to spend more once they're traveling. People are not going crazy with lavish expenditures. For that reason, we want to keep our volume up."
The state is promoting $99 travel packages, including a package for the Animal Adventures exhibit at Kimball Farm in Bolton. Some Central Massachusetts golf courses are offering $99 golf packages. Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge is offering a $99 package that admits a family of four to the living history museum and gives them food, crafts activities and a stagecoach or boat ride.
"Based on what we're hearing from visitors anecdotally as they come through, value is still really top of the line," said Ann Lindblad, vice president of marketing and communications for Old Sturbridge Village, which has seen interest in memberships rise.
Visits to the museum were up 2 percent over the same month a year earlier, Ms. Lindblad said. When the museum asked its Facebook fans last week whether they'd be vacationing close to home this summer and visiting Old Sturbridge Village, about two dozen people responded, and a number said they planned vacations close to the area.
"People are still being careful," Ms. Lindblad said. "They're still waiting, I think, about big, faraway trips."
Central Massachusetts hotel operators are putting together packages that include meals or access to attractions or cultural institutions, according to Donna J. McCabe, president of the Central Massachusett Convention and Visitors Bureau. At the same time, attractions such as the Southwick Zoo in Mendon, Davis Farmland in Sterling and the Higgins Armory in Worcester are reporting stronger visitor numbers, she said.
The mix of affordability and stronger visitor numbers could mean Central Massachusetts travel and leisure attractions will do better this summer than last year, Ms. McCabe said.
"I think the consumer is traveling more and a bit more comfortable with the economy as we start to see the upswing again," she said.

Matters of spirituality demand quiet contemplation in tranquil settings. The Aurobindo Ashram, intended as just such a transcendental commune, is today anything but. All-too-worldly intrigues and base-level controversies have periodically disrupted the peace here over the past few years, and profoundly so in recent months. At the centre of the storm is Peter Heehs, 63, the American historian and author of the controversial The Lives of Sri Aurobindo, who faces expulsion from the ashram, his home of 41 years, if his visa isn't renewed. A small group of long-term ashram residents (about 1,300 live here on a permanent basis) deem portions of the book "blasphemous". They have also called for the ouster of the trustees of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust. There's another faction in the ashram whose "sentiments have been hurt", but don't want to see Heehs expelled. Besides the insider camps duking it out, there are public intellectuals and prominent historians who view this case as an infringement on Heehs's freedom of expression and rail against his being forced out.
Controversy has hounded Heehs ever since his book was brought out in New York in 2008—and proscribed soon after by the Orissa High Court, thus barring its publication in India. Since then, it has served as a pretext for ashramites to undertake a public wash of their dirty linen, attacking both Heehs and the ashram. A small sample of remarks about Heehs: "A scholar of very low calibre", "a college dropout", "a taxi driver in New York before coming to Pondicherry", he "gets royalties and does not pay taxes". And those are just the mild ones.
Speaking with Outlook, Heehs shrugs off the sniping, claiming his royalties are modest. He pays taxes in the US and donates 75 per cent of his earnings to the ashram. Underneath the surface though, there are valid, fundamental questions about how he could be a part of the ashram and yet write such a book. Kittu Reddy, who with fellow ashramites Sraddalu Ranade, Ananda Reddy, Raman Reddy and Jayanta Bhattacharya, has been marked as a spearhead of the agitation says, "If you have joined an institution voluntarily, it is not fair to criticise it from within. As an outsider, you can write anything." Prashit Bhattacharjee, a devotee who's made Pondicherry his home, says, "Sri Aurobindo doesn't need any individual to interpret or reinterpret his personality and work. Fortunately for humanity, unlike many prophets, he's extensively written on his work. Hence, what Peter Heehs writes is of no consequence. What will stand the test of time is his (Aurobindo's) writing and message for the New Age."
For the last two years, Heehs's travels abroad have been restricted. Where previously his visa had always been renewed for five years en bloc, in the last two years, he has been given only three-month extensions. Then on March 28, he received a missive from the FRRO (Foreigner Regional Registration Officer) telling him his visa would not be renewed and that he would have to leave the country by April 15. Heehs is on the verge of returning to the US. Historians like Romila Thapar and Ramachandra Guha have taken up his cause. Even Union minister Jairam Ramesh (who has, reportedly, read and liked the book) has sought intervention from the prime minister and home minister. Heehs's supporters say "factional disagreements in Heehs's hometown" should not receive the state's implicit support, which is what, they say, will have transpired if the home ministry were to deny him a renewed visa.
The quarrel hinges on three charges: that Heehs allegedly projected Aurobindo as a "schizophrenic"; that he suggested a romantic relationship between the guru and The Mother (Mirra Alfassa, the Frenchwoman who joined Aurobindo in 1920 and succeeded him); and that he "branded the guru a terrorist" for his role in India's national movement. Despite the ban, pirated editions of Heehs's book are in circulation. Aurofilio Schiavina, a devotee, has read it and considers it "non-offensive" when viewed in context. The "objectionable" passages have been typed (as opposed to scanned) and are blogged and e-mailed about by detractors that do not give readers the benefit of a contextual projection.
What has really riled devotees is the alleged hinting at a "sexual" relationship between Aurobindo and The Mother. A devotee says, "Westerners cannot think of a relationship between man and woman without a sexual dimension." Heehs refers to a passage in his book that quotes from an archival record and talks about The Mother holding Aurobindo's hand and withdrawing it hastily when someone enters the room. "To me, it is modesty, but they think I am saying she is feeling guilty. There was no romance," says Heehs, adding that both Aurobindo and The Mother "had a divine and a human quality that some see clearly but others refuse to recognise because they feel the two must only be venerated."
"Certain quarters deal with Aurobindo in a hagiographic way and others believe he should be approached in an academic, rational way. I can't simultaneously satisfy both a western rational approach and the Indian devotional approach." As a writer, he adopts the former, saying the book is intended primarily for a 'western or westernised Indian' academic audience. "I'm still ready to publish for an Indian audience after rewriting the book to have another approach. I myself have no problem with religion and guru worship. But fundamentally, there has been an intolerance." When asked if he feels he's being victimised like Salman Rushdie, Heehs says, "While I don't compare myself with someone like him, I can see what he and Taslima Nasreen went through."
He thinks his success has fostered resentment and sees "personal motivation" in the attacks. His backers say the book has become a victim of the prevailing climate of "fundamentalism" and "increasing religiosity". But the naysayers claim he wrote the book to trigger controversy, and get mileage. "What he has done is guruninda (betrayal of the guru). He should be thrown out," says an ashramite.
It is an irony that Heehs finds himself pitted against people who lecture, conduct seminars or upload their thoughts about Aurobindo on YouTube. "There's a hypocrisy there," says Aurofilio. Arindam Das, who has lived here for 29 years, dismisses the protest as "manufactured" and claims that devotees were brought on trains with the lure of a special darshan and shoved into the agitation. "Some of the signatures on the petition demanding Heehs be thrown out were signed in Bengali, Oriya and Hindi. This means the book, which is in English, could not have been read by them," he says. His question: "If there was widespread support in Pondicherry, why did they not file cases against Heehs in Pondicherry?"
An insider says Heehs's book has bothered those who feel they are the rightful inheritors of Aurobindo's intellectual tradition. Not Heehs, who has written nine books and several articles on him over 40 years. The Ashram trust says it has received many petitions appreciating the book as also those condemning it. In a public statement, the trust says it does not tell followers what to read or not read. Matri Prasad, a trust secretary, says, "Aurobindo was inclusive. The ashram is a haven of peace and will remain so."
The Shatterpoint
- Ashramites allege that in his book, Heehs hints at a romantic relationship between Aurobindo and The Mother, the Frenchwoman Mirra Alfassa. He refers to an incident when the mother was holding his hand, but hastily drew it away when someone entered the room.
- They claim that he has allegedly projected the spiritual guru as being "schizophrenic"
- That he has branded Aurobindo "a terrorist" for his role in in India's freedom movement.
Heehs's Defence
"To me, it is modesty that made The Mother remove her hand. The relationship between Aurobindo and The Mother had a divine and human quality. I am not saying they had a romance."

The Dark Vampire (Last True Vampire #3)
by Kate Baxter
Read: 1st – 3rd May 2017
Format: Kindle
My Goodreads Rating: 5 Stars
So what's this book about?
The Dark Vampire is the third book (approx 414 pages) in the Last True Vampire series – a paranormal romance series featuring vampires, half breeds, slayers, witches, shapeshifters and other creatures that go bump in the night. Each book is centred around a new romantic couple, while the story of rebuilding the vampire race and the fight to survive, evolves and continues as the backdrop to the romance. I don't think that it's imperative to your enjoyment of this story to have read the previous books, however, as with most series, when you read books in sequence you get to know the supporting characters and the world thus adding insights and the comfort of familiarity.
Those of you who have read my reviews before, will know that I don't post any spoilers or reveal plot twists in my book reviews, so here's what the official blurb has to say about the story:
The grave threat to the tortured race of vampires is greater than ever in Kate Baxter's THE DARK VAMPIRE. An unforgettable, intensely emotional, and hot series for fans of J.R. Ward, Nalini Singh, Lara Adrian and Larissa Ione.
Centuries ago, the vampire race was almost destroyed. Now, salvation rests upon one – the last true vampire.
For centuries, Jenner has been plagued by the shadows of his past. Now, a newly-turned vampire, he stalks the night like a wild predator, unable to satisfy his insatiable desires. Until a beautiful vampire sets his soul on fire…
Bria is pure innocence, hidden her whole life from a merciless enemy determined to hunt her down. When things become perilous, safety comes in the form of a fearsome bodyguard – Jenner.
One fateful night, Bria is saved by her vampire protector and a blazing connection is sparked. But surrendering to the powerful call of passion means breaking free from the shackles of their pasts. And with the war against the slayers more savage than ever, they must fight to survive. For the vampire race depends on it.
So, what did I like about it?
I am already a fan of Ms Baxter's writing style; the way she crafts her story, the pace, how the plot evolves and the urban fantasy world that she's building. The balance in this story between hold-your-breath tension, kickass action and steamy sex scenes was good.
Those of you who have read my reviews before know that I am an old romantic at heart, so the "two halves of one soul reunited" love story part of this tale satisfied my lovey-dovey side but it was the real relationship doubts and insecurities that added a very real and contemporary element to this tale.
I also love the fact that it's not just our main characters that we see these complexities, every character that Ms Baxter includes feels so real to me due to their all too human foibles.
I laughed, I cried and I felt the flutters of arousal; I was gripped.
…so, ummm, was there anything I disliked about it?
Nope. Loved it!
(Although, I must confess here that as a modern woman, I was irritated and frustrated at times with the over-protectiveness and "traditional values" that Bria experienced from her uncle, Thomas Fairchild, the rest of her coven and her soul mate, Eric Jenner!)
…so, basically what I'm saying is…
I really loved this marvellous story, I think it has it all; family and relationship drama, a good mystery as well as exciting fight scenes and passionate sex scenes!
If you're a fan of adult paranormal romance stories where your heroines are intelligent, witty and independent and your heroes are strong sexy alphas with a big heart waiting to be unleashed or if you've enjoyed reading the "destined soul mate" theme of Felicity Heaton's Eternal Mates Series or Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians Series, then I think you'll love this paranormal romance novel too.

While Griffiths's lectures can be chatty, they are also uncompromisingly erudite. Moving between European languages was one of his specialities; like T.S. Eliot, whom he often quotes admiringly, he assumes all European literature of the last seven centuries is accessible to his audience. This makes the lectures challenging, but it also flattered the intellect of his listeners. Five of the ten lectures collected here are concerned with non-English writers (Rabelais, Dante, Racine, Kafka and Levi), each of them quoted extensively in their original language (though Griffiths provided his own translations). He does close readings of lines from Racine and Corneille, and confidently analyses Proust's diction. In a conventional academic book, this might feel presumptuous. In a lecture, where everything is about holding one example up to the light, and flitting to the next example, it feels generous and exhilarating. The undergraduate audience is prodded and teased as well as flattered. Griffiths loves parodying 'modern' views of the past, including, implicitly, the assumptions of some of his own listeners.
Eric Griffiths used to deliver his lectures quickly, but I suggest you read them slowly. The 10 collected here in If Not Critical about some of the writers closest to his heart – Dante, Shakespeare, Racine, Primo Levi, Samuel Beckett – are richly textured, crammed with insight and often very funny. For anyone interested in how literature works, and why it matters, they are vital reading... What distinguished him was his adherence to two principles. First, literature can teach us how to lead better lives, or at least point out where we are going wrong. Second, getting things right really matters. Game-playing insouciance is common at Oxbridge, but he cared deeply about what he was saying... He kept a sign in his rooms for students who asked stupid questions: "How the f---should I know?" But if you asked a simple question – what should I read on x, who should I listen to performing y – he was always ready with a response. These lectures show that generous spirit in full flow. We can only hope there are more volumes to come.
Johnston, a former student, has gathered a fittingly eclectic selection of ten of his lectures, ranging from Dante to Rabelais and Eliot (T. S.) to Swift. Perhaps the best of them is "A rehearsal of Hamlet", in which Griffiths reminds his audience that Hamlet has the stage to himself "for fewer than 200 of the play's 3,900 lines". His account is finely tuned to dialogue and audience, grounded in the moment, aware of how the play is "crowded, maybe overcrowded, with individuals in pitilessly nervy relation to each other, entangled in backchat, constantly looking out of the corners of their eyes at those around them"...From a purely scholarly point of view, some of the lectures suffer from having been written in the pre-internet age. Thus a quick search of Early English Books Online vitiates the claim that Macbeth was making up the names of the dogs in his list of shoughs, water-rugs and demi-wolves, while a lecturer today would not find himself saying "I haven't been able to find out who Herlitzka was" (Amedeo Herlitzka, a Turin physiologist who influenced Primo Levi's father). Nor is Griffiths exactly a writer for the #MeToo age: his analysis of Theseus and Hippolyta's marriage in A Midsummer Night's Dream is astute but unfortunately phrased: "The 'illocutionary force' of his opening lines is, I would say, that of a hand placed invitingly on a knee". So too, "pert" feels wrong as a descriptor for an essay by Barbara Everett. It did, however, make me think that "tart" would be the right descriptor for the lecturing style of Eric Griffiths. And I mean that as a compliment.

Philosophical School 'The Light of Silence'
(The Tigers's Creed)
Termination of abominations, initiations of harmonizing practices
Elimination of socio-material conflicts, realignment with the real nature of the Universe
Andrew Cristiano Rose
the peacemaker
Born as a mystical thinker and gentle walker between the worlds, after a pleasant childhood I received enlightenment at the age of ten.
From that moment and in service of that, I devoted myself for twenty years to a very rigid growth that led me, through this vision and my personal experience of suffering, in different locations and human situations, experiencing both the very best and the worst of existence .
I refined my diplomacy in the art of war, which is useful in conflicts against low entities and magical currents not ours.
In past decades in the company of ancient texts, and through periods spent in places of initiation such as remote monasteries and indigenous tribes, I came to decipher the sacred and never mentioned aloud; Argument of Silence.
I am currently one of the last experts in dark evils present in the western world.
In my thirty-year profession of holistic cosmic disciplines, I created on December 25/2014 the organization My Spirit Can, an instrument with which I demonstrate the benefits of life starting with the inner balance.
I am also an extreme sportsman, a philosopher and a firm supporter of the superiority of the ancestral feminine.
I have collaborators spread all over the world, excellent in their specialities, and am a promoter of socio-sporting-cultural activities that aim to dismantle the illusory necessity that we have towards the superfluous influences that invade our lives.
Having ascertained that we are in this land with the task of living and to enjoy the experiences deriving from love, love being the fuel that allows us to evolve in growth leading to completeness, we can't help but travel clean.
To travel not metaphorically, but through the world physically...
...there isn't another way to render elastic the mind, thus training the body and expanding the spirit.
Those who are closed to this reality become fearful, obtuse and dangerous inasmuch as human nature fears what he does not know and kills what it fears.
It is therefore not possible to be happy and fulfilled in life if you accept to live with the indoctrination resulting from the experience of those around us, we can be seen to become poorly, dissatisfied, incomplete and sick.
It's fallacious to think as the new-age current or psychoanalysis does, to try to calm the mind, as it's impossible, by its nature the mind is a constant search for stimuli and comparisons. The secret therefore, according to how the naturalness of creation works, which always and then always uses the systems of least effort in everything to function, is to seek an order Not In, Not To, but From the Mind.
Our release from what curtails us, can't begin if not rooted in our psyche finally lightened; then the body will follow, and arrive to make the environment around us adequate to both stimulus and rest; only the time available will be the limit to the wonders of which we'll participate til the day, when full of life, we'll meet sister death.
Summing up
The reason for my apparently selective, but natural holistic approach to life that, like Cristiano Rose I promote through the My Spirit Can, and the wonderful colleagues that compose it, doesn't tend to discredit other forms of initiative.
Who wants to self-destruct because he feels he must atone something, and therefore he wants to experience the pain and the distance from the truth, let's make his path, because I can assure you, this too is not lost time.
Those who are happy, let's continues on that path, because being happy is a symptom of right direction.
In fact, when I leave my house, from my little unlimited world, and meet people who live their lives, I am not interested in what they are, I am interested in what they do, if the train driver says he is happy even though mind, but he does his job well, I don't care about it, it's different if he thinks he's happy, but he makes me have a train accident because he's incompetent.
Instead, with regard to the people who are part of my personal life, the discourse is the opposite
, I don't care too much about what they do, but about what they are.
The enlightened person accepts everyone, does not hate anyone and carefully chooses who to love, that's all.
To be truly happy, therefore not lying to yourself
, and wanting to implement that happiness with ever wider knowledge is a very logical and natural thing.
Most people who are looking for me, have already a spiritual direction, or at least a satisfying way of life
, and they only want to give order and more meaning to what they already have. Others, on the other hand, I would say 30%, as damaged or unhappy, they need instead attentions aimed at solving their problems before of all.
I come from very far away, and I am just passing through the places that, you can see me living in when I meet you. What I've received free through grace and experience, for free I'm gonna to give to the interested, I don't do it for have money in back, and I don't make weigh it, my slogan is; "Those who don't live to serve don't need to live".
And I don't mean serve as 'working', but to be useful above all for themself, and enjoy the many opportunities that life, when we are really living, get us .. because never forget, 'hell is repetition'.
I'm here to serve the light, the life, and God
, that I recognize in myself, as son of mother Earth and father Universe.
Every form of worship of the clelest beings, and the subtle creatures intermediate between our earthly plan and the higher dimensions, are only distraction if our role in our life is not clear.
Remember that there is no awareness without a healthy suffering, people reach the limits of the absurd to avoid confronting their own inner life.
Joy is not reached in life by worshiping angels and madonnas, but by bringing our darkness to consciousness, making it, a measurted part of us.
Those who look only outside themselves dream regrets and hope, those who look inside Will wake up!

Smart Houses Currently Envision High-Frequency Power Electronic Systems in Their Power Processing Units
High-Frequency Power Electronic Systems (HFPESs) are integral parts of any power processing unit used in smart grid applications which is currently a hot area of research at the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Southern. Led by Dr. Massoud Davari, and in collaboration with Dr. Weinan Gao , pioneering research efforts are conducted to analyze and synthesize modern controllers making use of the high-frequency capability of HFPES developed by Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC), Inc.—leading provider of gallium nitride (GaN)-based power management technology. Dr. Alex Lidow, the chief executive officer (CEO) at EPC has provided Dr. Davari with cutting-edge development boards to be integrated into his hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tested system using a scaled-down HFPES prototype to advance research in this emerging field of high-speed switching power technology.

Title: A Cayley graph for $F_{2}\times F_{2}$ which is not minimally almost convex
(Submitted on 1 Nov 2016 (v1), last revised 8 Feb 2017 (this version, v2))
Abstract: We give an example of a Cayley graph $\Gamma$ for the group $F_{2}\times F_{2}$ which is not minimally almost convex (MAC). On the other hand, the standard Cayley graph for $F_{2}\times F_{2}$ does satisfy the falsification by fellow traveler property (FFTP). As a result, we show that any Cayley graph property $K$ which satisfies $\text{FFTP}\Rightarrow K\Rightarrow\text{MAC}$ is dependent on the generating set. This includes the well known properties FFTP and almost convexity, which were already known to depend on the generating set. This also shows the new results that Poenaru's condition $P(2)$ and the basepoint loop shortening property both depend on the generating set. We also show that the Cayley graph $\Gamma$ does not have the loop shortening property, so this property also depends on the generating set.

Hi everyone,
Today I will continue with the 30 days nail art challenge. I've thought a lot about which nail art I wanted to make for day nine, were the challenge is to make a rainbow nail art. I first wanted to make nyancat-nails, but because I've made them before I decided to go for something new! I used the nail polish nr. 59 Black is back from Essence as a base. After letting that dry completely, I used the colors nr. 360 Raspberry Fields Forever, nr. 240 Sold Out For Ever, and nr. 400 Blue Cara Ciao from Catrice. I also used nr. 95 Wanna be your sunshine from Essence and a mixture of my brand less white and nr. 08 from Hema. I took my dottingtool and dipped into these different colors to make the hearts. It didn't take me really long to make, but it took ages to dry completely! I like the happy and bright end result and I hope you like it to! Below is the other picture from this day's nail art, and I will see you soon!


text: Oh my goodness! Wouldn't this be the funniest thing ever?? If I ever write fiction I am SO going to do this. I can think of a few authors in print right now that this would work for already. George R. R. Martin of Game of Thrones, Matthew Reilly of the "Scarecrow" series fame, Clive Cussler, and perhaps even some of the YA dystopian novels that are coming out now would be fun to do this way. Couldn't you just imagine ? You've seen how rabid some of the fans of these YA books are ! "Oh my particular set is better!" "No! My particular genre is better!!" And then , if the ENDINGS were different and they didn't know?!? HAHAHAHAAAA! Let the madness ensue. To be a fly on the wall at some of THOSE discussions. That would be fun. What do you think? If you could write an alternate ending for any book you've read , what book would it be, and what ending would you write?
