text: I recently replaced an old WRT54G that died and end up with a new version 5 router. This unit appears to be a huge step backwards. It locks up about once a day for new reason that I can understand. Essentially what happens is that I lose my connection to the Internet on both the LAN and wireless ports. I can't access the router via the web address either. Rebooting the computers or trying to release the IP addresses does not help either. However if I unplug the router and plug it back in again, everything comes back to live (without even having to reboot the computers or get a new IP). It seems like the software on the router is crashing or otherwise going out to lunch. I can't find any event triggering the problem. Anybody having similar problems or have ideas. My WRT54G is connected to a SurfBoard SB4200 and on Charter Cable.

Quote from MAIT on Demonetization of 1000, 500 rupee currency notes
India 11 November 2016: Keeping in sync with the ban on rupee 1000 and 500 notes, please find below a quote by Mr Anwar Shirpurwala, Executive Director, MAIT on this move
"MAIT compliments Prime Minister Modi for his action against corruption and black money and strongly supports the Government in its mission of transformation of India. We applaud the decision taken by the government to eradicate black money. The move taken by the govt. clearly indicates that we will be depending more and more on the ICT. This move has been possible because of the availability of technology and multiple means of financial transaction. This also calls for the Govt to further look for means of increasing IT penetration, thus enabling every citizen to use technology tools and services for cashless transactions. Govt. should continue to give more emphasis on technology led schemes and programs for the betterment of the economy growth."

A solo show in the Mindy Ross Gallery, Translating the Mind's Eye: paintings by Laura Von Rosk, contrasts palettes created by the artist's interpretation of extremely different parts of the world -- Antarctica and the Adirondacks along with the Hudson Valley. Von Rosk lives in the Adirondacks in upstate New York and has lived in Antarctica while being part of a scientific research team led by her husband, Sam Bowser, PhD, who grew up in the Town of Wallkill near Middletown.
"By using elements of landscape, mixing natural forms with memory and imagination, the images become 'constructed' landscapes. Forms are repeated, emphasized, manipulated, or invented," she explains. Her paintings may be about a specific place, or a certain experience of a place, or a response to the work of other artists such as European early Renaissance paintings, as well as Persian manuscripts. "The forms (lakes, ditches, open fields, holes, icebergs, glaciers) are not just a product of what I see, but combine what I know about constructing paintings with some deep and as yet unconscious memory system with what I see in the landscape."
Von Rosk's exhibit is scheduled from Oct. 22 to Nov. 21. The Opening Reception for the show is Sunday, Oct. 22 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Mindy Ross Gallery and Foyer in Kaplan Hall where pianist Amy Baglione will provide music. Kaplan Hall is located at the corner of Grand and First Streets (GPS: 73 First St), on the Newburgh campus of SUNY Orange. Regular Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday.
In addition to the NYFA fellowship, her awards include an Individual Artist Support Grant from the Pollack-Krasner Foundation; an artist Fellowship Grant from the Bernheim Foundation in Clermont, KY; a Lake Placid Lodge, Adirondack Art Fund Grant; an Arts Council of the Northern Adirondacks, Artist and Community Exchange Grant; as well as several art residencies in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, California, and the State of Washington.
Von Rosk holds a BFA from SUNY Purchase and an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. Presently, she is Gallery Director of the Lake George Arts Project.
Questions may be directed to Cultural Affairs at (845) 341-4891 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Also see the website at www.sunyorange.edu/culturalaffairs
NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowships are administered with leadership support from New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

Dreamworks regrets very awkward Shrek Forever After photos
Well, I never expected to see the characters of SHREK FOREVER AFTER in pictures like this.
Not that the photos are pornographic or anything, they're just odd fashion photos for a magazine called VMAN. The only one in the bunch that seems a little "suggestive" is the one with Donkey. It's possible that he may have been propositioned by that chick for a threesome.
Apparently, Dreamworks regrets letting the characters be used for the photos. The studio says that while they respect the creative license of VMAN, the product did not turn out the way they envisioned it.
Check out some of the photos below. For the rest head over here.

Possum Throwing
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says they will talk to the school – Colyton School in Manawatu – after they held the contest on September 12 in which pupils picked up possum corpses by the tail and hurled them as far as they could.
While possums are a protected species in neighbouring Australia, in New Zealand – to which they are not native – they're regarded as a pest.
But the school he experienced a backlash against the possum-tossing since pictures of the event appeared in a local newspaper last week. Critics say that the event teaches children to disrespect animals.
'While it's technically not illegal, it's morally wrong to throw a dead animal around,' the SPCA's Danny Auger said to the Manawatu Standard. 'It's about time that people wake up and smell 2010 and realise that these sorts of things shouldn't be happening.'
The school's principal insisted that the possum-throwing helped teach children how to humanely destroy possums, and was part of 'letting kids be kids'.
Helps children learn how to humanely destroy possums? Seriously? Wow.

Yawning in front of your dog may lead to dog yawns
A recent study by the University of London has suggested that the "contagiousness" of yawns by a human will pass to dogs. The study observed that 21 of 29 dogs yawned when a stranger yawned in front of them, but did not yawn when the stranger only opened his mouth.[33]

A ho-hum election day. That's what Louisiana voters experienced a few weeks back. Now a runoff election is scheduled for December 8th with just a few choices for voters on the ballot. At the top of the ticket is the race to fill the void left by former Secretary of state Tom Scheduler who resigned from office under a cloud. And many political pundits and reporters were surprised over the first primary results.
The highly-combative and hotly contested race for Council District B in New Orleans has been challenged and certified with Seth Bloom claiming there were numerous irregularities but also stating the impossibility to determine the outcome notwithstanding the errors.
Thus, Bloom congratulated the winner in the race, Jay Banks.
Today on the Ringside Politics radio show (M-F, 7-11 am, WGSO 990-AM & www.Wgso.com) we conducted our annual listener poll, asking the audience who should be our "Turkey of the Year."
The competition is always spirited for there are so many potential turkeys to consider in 2017. Previous winners have included former President Barack Obama, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, former House Speakers Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, former Florida Governor Jeb! Bush, Ohio Governor John Kasich, U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, former Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, former New Orleans Mayor and current federal inmate Ray Nagin and former U.S. Congressman and recently released federal inmate William "Dollar Bill" Jefferson.
The New Orleans elections 2017 is over.
Now come the post mortems and the efforts by those elected to office to put together city government for the next three and half years.
The pollster that was right on the mark this election cycle was Ed Chervenak, Professor of University of New Orleans.
Might tomorrow's New Orleans Mayors Race be so negative and dirty that it could result in a Desiree Charbonnet victory over LaToya Cantrell and a landslide victory for Republican John Schroder over Democrat Derrick Edwards n the Louisiana treasurer's race?
IA cantrellThe Desiree Charbonnet campaign is on the attack with two days left in the New Orleans Mayor's race against LaToya Cantrell. On Tuesday the University of New Orleans poll indicated that Charbonnet trails Cantrell by 11 points. Last week, another poll evidenced an 18 point gap.
Another poll evaluating the New Orleans Mayor's race shows that LaToya Cantrell is leading Desiree Charbonnet, however, this one by eleven points. Last week, a different poll, that one by the Democratic Education Reform, indicated that Cantrell was ahead by 18 points. The election is now less than five days away.
The New Orleans Mayor's race runoff is now eight days away. Lots can happen between now and then. But here are some quick observations, and some relevant tweets worth reviewing.
Now, for a New Orleans Mayor's Race wrap:
LaToya Cantrell has become the money machine, not so, Desiree Charbonnet. The Inter-Denominational Ministerial Alliance, who already supported Desiree Charbonnet has injected itself into the race again, calling for Cantrell's resignation, which prompted her quick rebuke. Also, a date has been set for the WWL TV forum, two days from election day.
The old famous adage, "money is the mother's milk of politics" might be also said, "milking a scandal is the "mother" of all political campaign tactics".
No doubt, the Desiree Charbonnet campaign is in "udder" "spread the Latoya Cantrell credit card controversy mode. Just how much mileage and bad press it can get from it before New Orleans Mayor's Race election day, is a topic for serious discussion. Or, better said--will voters leave home and vote for Cantrell, without it (being top of mind)?
Surprised? Indeed. Well, how about, somewhat shocked!
This morning, I discovered that LaToya Cantrell is ahead of Desiree Charbonnet by a whopping 18 points, according to a research firm LJR Custom Strategies on behalf of the local branch of a national education reform organization, Democrats for Education Reform.
While the New Orleans Mayor's race has focused on personality flaws, corruption, one of the issues that has really yet to surface in the public debate is "gentrification".
The Desiree Charbonnet for Mayor of New Orleans campaign has just shot another city credit card broadside to the LaToya Cantrell for Mayor campaign today with a press release, claiming that the Councilwoman Cantrell has "even more questions to answer" today as it claims "a large number of specific violations".
And there's more…
That is essentially the message from the Desiree Charbonnet's For Mayor campaign in the ongoing LaToya Cantrell's credit card controversy.
Charbonnet and Cantrell are the remaining candidates for New Olreans Mayor opening. The election is November 18.

Attacks against and killings of human rights defenders is one of the major concerns highlighted in the report. The UN stated that 127 killings were reported in 2016. Just under half of these (59) were human rights leaders, with the rest being trade unionists and members of social and political organisations. The report detailed 389 attacks in total, including threats, forced disappearance, sexual violence, amongst others. The areas of the country with the highest assassination rates of social leaders were Cauca, Antioquia, Norte de Santander and Córdoba.
The majority of killings occurred in areas previously controlled by the FARC. The withdrawal of the FARC has increased the risk of violence for the communities in those areas. Illegal economic activities have increased, state authorities are not protecting the local population and numerous armed groups are competing for territorial control. Violence in these areas is also being facilitated by poverty, marginalisation and a lack of opportunities.
UN representative Todd Howland stated: "There is a pattern here relative to where the killings are occurring. It is a really important moment to consolidate the implementation of the accords."
Forced displacement has not ended in Colombia despite the peace process. The UN also stated that 47 emergencies as a result of mass displacement occurred in 2016, with 13,864 people affected.
The report criticised the failure to finish the special reinsertion zones in time, stating that this has created an atmosphere of distrust and put FARC members in a vulnerable position.
The report also raises some concerns about the peace accord itself, in particular the legal framework applicable to members of the police and armed forces who have committed human rights abuses. The UN stated that this does not comply with international human rights standards on superior and command responsibility.
The UN furthermore criticised the ongoing refusal in some sectors to recognise that state agents committed human rights violations. The report documented six cases of arbitrary detention of civilians by state agents in 2016 and the worrying involvement of members of the armed forces in citizen security, which should be the jurisdiction of the police. The report also criticised the failure to advance in the fight against impunity in relation to forced disappearances committed by armed forces in the past.

"The Spirit of Gambo is a Chicago area viol consort featuring Ken Perlow, Phillip Serna & Russell Wagner. The Spirit of Gambo performs music throughout the rich viol consort repertoire. Programs are built around providing historical context as well as variety in the repertoire to produce a stirring musical experience.
The Spirit of Gambo – a Chicago Consort of Viols was formed in 2005 to address a growing deficiency of viol consort performers in the Midwest region, especially in the Chicago area. All being professional performers, the Spirit of Gambo are passionate advocates of the performance of music for early instruments, especially music composed for viols.
The Spirit of Gambo's members have performed on period instruments with varied groups including Ars Antigua, Ars Musica Chicago, Bella Voce, the Boston Early Music Festival, the Bottom Line Continuo Consort, the Catacoustic Consort, Chicago Early Music Consort, Chicago Opera Theater, the Classical Arts Orchestra, Comic Intermezzo, Early Music Chicago, Ensemble Musical Offering, the Forces of Virtue Ensemble and Choir, the Janus Ensemble, the Newberry Consort, the Second City Musick, and the Evelyn Dunbar Memorial Early Music Festival at Northwestern University.

"claimed as an ensemble of "imaginative" programming and "delicate, flawlessly-played music", the Chicago Early Music Consort recreates the rich and diverse sounds of the late Renaissance and early Baroque chamber repertoire in a historically-informed manner. Founded by Gary Berkenstock, the consort performs throughout the Chicagoland and Wisconsin areas.
The core ensemble consists of a "broken" consort of viola da gamba Phillip W. Serna, soprano Stephanie Sheffield, lute/theorbo Joel Spears, and recorders Gary Berkenstock, but the ensemble is supplemented as needed by the dictates of the music. Programs are built around historical themes in order to provide modern audiences with a meaningful social context that will enrich their musical experience. " See website for more details. (ed.)

"LA MORRA performs European music of the period roughly defined by the dates 1300 and 1500 (traditionally referred to as 'late Medieval' and/or 'early Renaissance') with occasional escapades outside this time frame. The ensemble pays particular attention to the secular art song, sacred para-liturgical genres and instrumental music.
Formed in 2000, LA MORRA (named after Heinrich Isaac's famous instrumental fantasia) has rapidly made its way on to the stages of Europe's most prestigious early music festivals and concert series (including 'Festival van Vlaanderen', 'Netwerk' and 'Holland Festival Oude Muziek', 'Rencontres de Musique Médiévale du Thoronet', 'Freunde Alter Musik in Basel' and 'Il Canto delle Pietre'). Numerous live performances, broadcasts and the four CD releases that have appeared to date (see Discography) have contributed to establishing LA MORRA as one of the leading formations in the field, with a reputation for both varied, evocative and thoroughly researched programs and "virtuoso", "seductive" and "plausible" (Diapason) interpretations.
The ensemble is based in Basel (North-West Switzerland), home of the prestigious Schola Cantorum Basiliensis where the performance and theory of 'early music' have been taught for over 70 years. LA MORRA consists mainly of former students of the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis (usually four to eight vocalists and instrumentalists) and adapts to the requirements of each new concert or recording project.

"The Krauka group takes you on a musical journey back in time to an era when the Norse culture blossomed over the North Atlantic region, the time when the Vikings were setting out on perilous sea voyages from Scandinavia across the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland to Vinland (New Foundland).
Krauka was formed in 1999 around the idea of combining storytelling and music from the Viking Age. First they did research on what kind of instruments existed in the north of Europe during the Viking Age. From this information they built their own instruments, but using modern strings that made the music more powerful.
From the beginning Krauka was a band inspired by the Viking-age instruments and sagas, playing acoustically for about 100 persons. Later they have taken part in big festivals, for instance: in 2000 at a festival in Greenland, celebrating the 1000th year of Leif the Lucky's finding Vinland; and in 2001 at a Viking festival on the Faroe Islands. The same year they had their first school concert tour in Denmark and played in different Viking festivals in DK. In 2002 they played at a festival at Fjorukrain, outside Reykjavik in Iceland and at different locations in Iceland. This year they have also made two school-concert tours.
The musicians in Krauka are: Gudjon Rudolf: vocals, jew's harp and percussion; Jens Villy Pedersen: flutes, lyre, rebec and vocals; Aksel Striim: bowed lyre, shawm, flute and vocals. "

"Sfera Armoniosa specialises in performance of music from the seventeenth century. The ensemble's name is derived from a work commissioned for a seventeenth century noble marriage, published for voice and basso continuo.
The group is based around an unchanging core of continuo players. Vocal soloists are then added to the ensemble according to the demands of the repertoire. The more commonly heard basso continuo combination of lute and viola da gamba is enriched by the use of less well known instruments such as the lirone and the baroque guitar.
In addition to the music of famous composers such as Monteverdi and Lully, the ensemble undertakes research into the manuscripts and printed works of Italian, French, Spanish, English, German and Dutch libraries in order to provide a rich spectrum of music from lesser known composers.

Based in Santa Cruz, California, The Antiquarian Funks were founded in 1971 by Head Funk William G. Mathews, and have been performing ever since in a wide variety of combinations and venues. The Funks perform with reproductions of original antique instruments.
Music of the 17th century and earlier was usually composed and performed for the church or European courts. A particular challenge in performing this early music is the absence of tempo and dynamic notation. Musicians of this time were expected to improvise embellishments on the original score, rather like modern jazz.
The aim of this website is to introduce you to both the Antiquarian Funks, as well as the amazing music, instruments and some of the composers we have featured over the years. Enjoy! " See website for more information. (ed.)

"Performers of Medieval & Renaissance Music ... The Everyman Guild was founded in 1977 and is an ensemble of friends (none an original member) who sing and play a wide variety of early instruments.
Performing in renaissance costume, we recreate early dances, and use poetry and drama to build informative, theatrical and engaging programs. The simple elegance of this music, with its complementary melodic lines, clean, spare harmonies, poetic texts and engaging rhythms make it relevant and accessible today. An Everyman Guild concert is music sung and played by a small group of musicians who work together closely on interpretation, and who know each other well. This offers the musicians and the audience a personal and direct musical experience. Renaissance music is an authentic living history of people of the past, and perhaps the most intimate way we can connect with them.

"THE GOLIARDS present authentic medieval music in a lively and entertaining style. We perform on reproductions of actual medieval instruments and sing in the various dialects and languages of the period. We wear costumes based on the clothing of period musicians, completing the feeling of long ago.
The music is a wide variety of medieval tunes, chiefly from the 13th and 14th centuries. Selections can range from bouncy dances and drinking songs to hauntingly beautiful devotional and art melodies. In the style of medieval musicians, large sections of music are improvised, adding an unforgettable excitement to the songs. The Goliards can play, lead and teach dances to allow the audience to completely experience the music as it was originally presented. We have in the past worked with other performers in poetic and dramatic recitations. " See website for more information. (ed.)

"The ensemble recreates the elegant sounds of the official, professional wind bands of the late Medieval and Renaissance periods as well as the rustic entertainments of the peasantry. Audiences from Seattle to Spoleto, Italy, have marveled at the virtuosity of the ensemble, its precision and impeccable intonation, but most of all its vitality and enthusiasm. Shawms, sackbuts, dulcians, recorders, krumhorns, bagpipes, lutes, guitars and percussion provide the fascinating aural dimensions to an entertaining Piffaro performance. Piffaro has recorded extensively and can be heard on the Newport Classic, Deutsche Grammophon's Archiv Produktion, Wyndham Hill, Passacaille, and currently on Dorian Recordings labels. "

"SARBAND means connection - just as the name, which stems from Oriental music theory and denotes to an improvised linking of two compositions within a musical suite. Musical director Dr. Vladimir Ivanoff, who founded SARBAND in 1986, both as a scholar and a musician, connects cultures, people and epochs: His programmes unite musicians from the most different cultures and backgrounds and mediate between past and present, Early Music and living traditions.
In the world of SARBAND, musicians from Bulgaria, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Sweden, Great Britain, Italy and Germany perform together. The co-operation in the ensemble is no fashionable crossover session, but conceived as a continuous dialogue on equal terms. All artists unrestrictedly contribute their native traditions, their personal histories and their own creativity to the programmes. While today the religious, economic, cultural and political differences between the Orient and Occident are in the focus of attention, Sarband endeavour to show that music was always not only mere decoration, but an enlightened means of mutual respect and can still be that today: an example for understanding and acceptance, a model of peace. The ensemble takes its audience on a journey through space and time, through religions and cultures. It is a journey, on which you can leave behind the customary ways of thinking and the traditional concert experience. ... "

With SXSW swarming outside, the newly renovated Austin Music Hall served as musical epicenter, a convergence of past and present embodied in the bookending collaborations of the evening: the opening tribute to Walter Hyatt and billed headliner Rokkervil, teaming resurrected 13th Floor Elevator and AMA Musician of the Year Roky Erickson with Indie Band winners Okkervil River...."

Not predictable were Shaver's stunning version of "Honky Tonk Heroes," Ray Wylie Hubbard's raw take on his anthem "Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother," and Ray Benson tossing out a quip about when Austin rents were $100 and a bag of weed was $10. And granted, the 2002-03 Music Awards did deliver some results that weren't exactly huge shockers: KGSR, who presented a $220,000 check to the SIMS Foundation, as Best Radio Station; Eric Johnson as Best Electric Guitarist; Monte Montgomery as Best Acoustic Guitarist; Waterloo as Best Record Store; and Willie Nelson, Joe "King" Carrasco, Stephen Bruton, and Eliza Gilkyson all getting nominated to the Texas Music Hall of Fame..."

Taste is a chain supermarket in Hong Kong owned by AS Watson, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa Limited. It began the first branch in Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong in 2004, but most of the branches are opened based on the re-decoration of Park'n Shop, Taste's sister company. Its main customers are middle-class families. Its retail products are similar to those in Park'n Shop and Great.

- Taste is a Macintosh word processor that combined a number of basic features from page layout software, just a "taste" of it, to build a unique solution to preparing documents. Taste was originally offered by DeltaPoint, the publishers of the famed MindWrite, but was eventually spun off to a 3rd party before finally disappearing. Taste works with Mac OS 9, but not Mac OS X, and has not been available for purchase for several years. In many ways Apple's recent Pages application shares the basic "idea" of Taste, combining word processing with page layout.

Introduction to the Exhibit.
When Charles Robert Darwin's Origin of Species, over twenty years in the making, was offered to booksellers on November 22, 1859, the original print run of 1250 copies was quickly exhausted. By November 24, usually cited as the official publication date, Darwin's publisher, John Murray, had already committed to a new and corrected edition. The advance publicity given to the book by supporters such as the geologist Charles Lyell had helped, but so had the fact that Mudie's Circulating Library, which lent out popular volumes for a subscription fee, had purchased 500 copies. Darwin was exhausted, but apparently not enough not to care about how the book—his "abominable volume," as he had called it in a letter to his cousin William Darwin Fox (September 23, 1859)—was received. He was thoroughly pleased by Mudie's purchase. "Your father says he shall never think small beer of himself again," wrote Emma Darwin to her son William (late November, 1859), and she added, "Candidly, he does think it very well written."
Rather than the heroic near-saint promoted in a flurry of books written for the Bicentennial, the Darwin highlighted in this exhibition, drawn from the holdings of Indiana University's Lilly Library, is a thoroughly social and sociable being, a man equipped with an excellent sense of humor, a keen awareness of his popular appeal, and an urgent desire to set his enemies right. The exhibition tracks his career from the publication of Darwin's first bestselling book, the Journal of Researches, popularly known as the Voyage of the Beagle, to his last popular success, a book about earthworms. Unpublished letters (one of them even unknown to Darwin scholars) round off the image of a fluent writer who rebelled against the idea that scientific writing had to be, in the caustic words of Darwin's admirer Stephen Jay Gould, "boring, inaccessible, illiterate, or unreadable" (introduction to the Modern Library Science Series).
This exhibit was originally on display at the Lilly Library from November 18 to December 19, 2009, in celebration of the Darwin Bicentennial.

Sarah Susanka, author of The Not So Big Life, will kick off the Athena Isle Summer series of events on Tuesday, June 17 at 12pm PST with "The Waking Dream: Second Life as a Metaphor for Our True Self." The event will take place in the Athena Isle Dome in Second Life.
Read her essay about Second Life.
The event will be hosted by Athena Isle Women and take place on Athena Isle owned by Second Life personality Cybergrrl Oh. The discussion will be conducted in a roundtable format to allow Susanka to answer questions posed directly by Second Life residents in attendance.
In May, Random House released Sarah's book "The Not So Big Life." In her book, she presents the antidote to the "bigger is better" mentality that drives our McLives.
In conjunction with her latest book, she has written about Second Life in her blog, explaining how it provides an excellent metaphor for understanding how we create our own realities.
"In my book, I introduce the concept of the Waking Dream, the notion that everything that is happening in our lives is a kind of dream in which every character and every event that happens to us is a reflection of an aspect of who we really are," said Sarah. "This is a truth that's very difficult for most humans to grapple with because it disavows the separate existence of that which they've always taken themselves to be."
Sarah said that when she heard recently of the virtual reality world Second Life, she realized that it provides an entirely new metaphor for people's perceptual conundrum, one that allows everyone "to see from the perspective of the source or supreme Self, rather than the individual character."
Audience members can participate in the chat by setting up a free Second Life account at http://www.secondlife.com then going to http://slurl.com/secondlife/Athena%20Isle/51/48/23.
For more information, contact Cybergrrl Oh at email@example.com or visit Sarah's site at http://www.notsobiglife.com.

1) What to wear?
Ans: Comfortable clothing. Do not wear extremely tight or extremely loose clothing.
2) Do I need to bring separate shoes for dancing?
Ans: As a general rule of thumb, dancers all over the world carry a separate pair of dance shoes which they wear on the dance floor. For this session, guys and girls may wear shoes with no or slight heels but slick (smooth) soles. Typically Suede soles work the best. NO SNEAKERS, NO FLIP FLOPS, NO FLOATERS please. You do not need to buy new shoes for the session, just bring the best you can. But as an etiquette do not use outdoor shoes on the dance floor(this avoids rain and dirt on the dance floor and accidental slips and falls)

Employment groups call for a boycott of IBM, Infosys and Manpower
Wanted ads want non-US applications, worker advocates not keen
THREE WORKER ADVOCACY GROUPS have called for a boycott of technology and recruitment firms IBM, Infosys and Manpower, saying that they exclude US workers during their hiring processes.
Bright Future Jobs, Programmers Guild and Washtech say that the firms have no intention of hiring outside of markets with low labour costs throughout 2015, and are asking workers to resist taking roles at those firms.
Collectively the groups accuse Manpower of looking to put non-US workers in US-based roles exclusively. A report released to coincide with the boycott said that Manpower began filling roles seven months ago, and added that the jobs will not start for at least another five months.
"Most Americans believe the nature of the tech industry is so fast-paced that staffing projections cannot be adequately foreseen. However, these Manpower ads illustrate that US tech employers determine labor needs [one to one-and-a-half] years ahead," said Donna Conroy, director of Bright Future Jobs.
"This gives them plenty of time to seek Americans first. This boycott, combined with educating technical professionals on Equal Opportunity and other employment laws, will force the industry to change their ways."
Both Infosys and IBM are accused of offering US-based roles to non US citizens, according to the groups, and both have been fined by the authorities.
Infosys told The INQUIRER that accusations that it excludes US technology workers are baseless.
"It is incorrect to allude that we exclude or discourage US workers. Today, we are recruiting for over 440 active openings across 20 states in the US. These include 300 openings for professional hires and about 140 openings targeting local, recent MBA graduates to bolster our Sales and Management Consulting teams," Infosys said.
"The graduate hiring programme is a key investment to strengthen our future leadership pool. This programme will see us investing in an extensive training and leadership-mentoring programme to groom these young MBAs to have strong, rewarding careers with us."
The firm went further, saying that it is committed to attracting the best talent regardless of where it comes from.
"Attracting the best and brightest talent is paramount to Infosys success," it added perhaps unnecessarily. "We are committed to creating a work environment where every employee feels included, valued and respected. We are an equal opportunity employer and hire from the local market in line with our business needs."
IBM and Manpower have yet to respond to our request for comment on the matter.
The workers' rights groups will dispute this though, and Kim Berry, president of the Programmer's Guild, suggested that US workers deserve the first crack at opportunities.
"US workers should have the first shot at US jobs," said Berry. "Companies hide these discriminatory practices with false accusations of a talent shortage. The only shortage in the tech industry is fair and ethical recruiting and hiring." µ

A safer Bruce Highway north of Benaraby
Media Release
04 February 2016
Joint release with:
Ken O'Dowd
Federal Member for Flynn
New overtaking lanes now open near the Old Ten Chain Road intersection north of Benaraby are making the Bruce Highway safer for motorists travelling in central Queensland.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Warren Truss said the 2.16 kilometres of new overtaking lanes mean a less frustrating trip for all drivers.
"Being able to safely pass slower vehicles is a major boost to safety, as is the installation of a one-metre wide centre line to increase the distance between opposing directions of traffic," Mr Truss said.
"This project is part of a major safety initiative being rolled out by the Australian Government to save lives on the road network."
Federal Member for Flynn Ken O'Dowd said the $7.65 million project was fully funded by the Australian Government.
"This is another major improvement to the Bruce Highway in central Queensland, which I've supported and the Australian Government delivered," Mr O'Dowd said.
"As well as improving safety for all drivers, an average of 24 direct jobs were supported over the construction life of this project. That's a strong boost to the community and local economy.
"These new north and southbound overtaking lanes between Benaraby and Calliope will be greatly appreciated by all drivers.
"The upgrade to the Old Ten Chain Road intersection with the highway also means turning vehicles now have their own lane while through traffic can safely continue uninterrupted."
The new overtaking lanes add to recently upgraded sections of the Bruce Highway in central Queensland, including improvements south of Cabbage Tree Creek, widening a one kilometre stretch of the Bruce Highway south of Tararan Creek Bridge and the $170 million Yeppen Floodplain project.
