Dissemination Planning
PhD students are encouraged to carry out, under the aegis of their scientific coordinator, a draft of the dissemination plan for their own scientific work. It should be determined how to combine the subject matter of the PhD thesis with the students' own scientific publications.
The plan should help to determine which scientific journals are target journals, how many papers should be prepared for publication, and the type of cooperation necessary for the accomplishment of set goals.

Interview // Dan Deacon
"A lot of my music is very vast and expansive, taking ideas to the max," says a sleepy Dan Deacon down the phone on a day off in Atlanta, Georgia, "and it seemed the lyrical themes were running parallel to the musical themes."
It's fitting that the Baltimore-based electronic maestro should speak from the road, as his latest album, America, was heavily influenced by the topography of his home country, observed from his passenger seat window while travelling its length and breadth in support of his breakthrough album, 2009's Bromst.
He continues: "I'd been playing the songs for a while but I'd never really finalised the lyrics. I had the musical theme in the background, a lot of which was based on geography and travel, but as far as the lyrics go when I got into the studio I decided to scrap what I'd been doing live and go over it again.
"I utilised the studio as a studio, not just a place to document what I was doing but to actually write it and experiment with it, and just fuck around, which is something I'd never really done. I'd always go and just document.
"I was trying to trying to cull all these different influences, namely the road and this Ken Burns documentary called The West, and at the same time the Arab Spring had been going on a while and Occupy Wall Street had just sprouted up.
"Everything was falling into place and everything made sense, and the theme just seemed to emerge, like 'this is what I'm interested in' and that I should follow it rather than avoid it."
Though Deacon has been heavily involved in the Occupy movement – he memorably helped shut down downtown New York alongside Tom Morello, Das Racist and Immortal Technique at last year's Occupy May Day protest – little, if any, of the record could be considered overtly political.
In a sense, the most subversive thing about the album is not what Deacon says, but rather what he doesn't say. In shunning cheap political statements and easy pot-shots at the ruling class, Deacon presents a hopeful vision of America as a land of contradictions where stunning geographical wonders sit alongside manmade urban desolation just as readily as millionaires stroll past impoverished protestors on Wall Street.
Deacon goes on: "I'm the kind of person where I don't like anything shoved down my throat, so I didn't want to shove any ideologies down anyone else's throat either, but I wanted those ideologies to be present for a listener who wanted to take a greater meaning away, that it would be available to them."
The New York native is nevertheless scathing of his peers – as well as those within the media – who seek to avoid any sort of constructive political or social commentary at the risk of alienating even a small subsection of their audience.
"There is a lot of fear of a work that has a polarising nature – the media doesn't want to polarise anything, they want it to be beneficial to everyone so they can reach as large a readership as possible. The whole point of media is to try and be fair and balanced – and that's a loaded term – to appeal to as many different people as possible.
"So when there is somebody with a polarised political view, and there is somebody who might say something controversial, I don't want to say they're weeded out… but I feel like pop music of a political nature has been systematically made lame ever since the late Sixties and early Seventies.
"I think a lot of musicians don't want to disenfranchise anybody – pop music is safe and they want it to remain safe, and they don't want anyone to not buy their record or not go to their show because of a political point of view or a social stance.
"I think that's a modern trend – very recent. You see certain acts embrace [political music], but on what I would say are no-brainer topics," he says, implicating acts like Green Day who vaguely took on George Bush at the height of his unpopularity and ran the proceeds all the way to the bank.
For Deacon, much of it boils down to the different ways that people incorporate music in their lives: "You also have to remember that music is largely entertainment, but music is also philosophy, it's poetry, it's a representation of culture – it can't just be a vapid escape from reality.
"There are those elements included, but there is so much more, and the people that want more are there. There are people in the world who use music as their escape, or as a background to relaxation, and that's perfectly fine – there's an insane amount of music that could help sell jeans or be background music in a café – but there are so many more contexts in life that could be filled with music.
"In the end, it doesn't matter. I'm going to make the music no matter what – if I don't I'll go insane – and if people like and appreciate it that's amazing. I feel very blessed and humbled that I've been in this situation for years, but as an artist I have to take risks and I have to take a stand on what I think is acceptable within the lexicon of my work."
Having toured America more or less non-stop since its release in September, Deacon's Whelan's show next week will kick of a two-month stint in Europe before he returns to the States to work on a top-secret new project ("I fucking wish I could talk about it!") and begin tracking his next studio record.
"I've been working on a series of new pieces for a show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York – I'm pretty psyched on that. That'll be with my regular ensemble plus a steel drum band, plus a marching band and percussionists. Then I've got a new record written that I just want to get into the studio to record, to start experimenting with it and see where it goes. I'll try to get that out early next year."

Filippa K arrives in San Francisco, with style, quality and simplicity
The Swedish Fashion Brand Filippa K recently opened up a concept store in San Francisco (66 Kearney Street). While so far largely unknown in America, most born Swedes are familiar with the brand and its creator. It all started in 1993 when the designer Filippa Knutsson decided to design clothes that she felt were missing from the marketplace. Her stretch jeans became the thing to wear in Sweden in 1996 and turned out to be one of Filippa Ks most important milestones. Over the years the brand has grown in popularity among Scandinavian women, and today it is one of Scandinavias fastest growing fashion companies. If Swedens most famous fashion brand, H&M, has promoted fast fashion and constant change, Filippa K represents the opposite: think perfect cut jackets and timeless tees in the best materials. Located in a former bank, the company highlights that some investments actually do hold their values!
The flagship store in San Francisco is the first one in the US. Founder Filippa Knutsson has been highly involved in the design of the San Francisco store which is inspired by the brands core values of artistic minimalism and dedication to architecture. Filippa Knutsson, founder and head designer, talked to me about her design, about San Francisco and how she came up with the idea to open up her own second hand store for Filippa K products.
Why San Francisco?
It felt like it was one of the major US cities which is closest to our Scandinavian lifestyle and values. San Francisco represents a modern, forward thinking society, where content is heralded over superficiality and there is a strong consciousness of global issues. It also has a relaxed, informal atmosphere and an architectural style that feels rather European. I personally really love the city and it intuitively felt like the right place to launch the Filippa K brand in the US.
What is the philosophy behind the brand?
The Filippa K philosophy is based on the concepts of style, simplicity and quality. We apply these values to everything we do: the look and feel of our fashion, the design and ambience of our stores, the direction of our shows, the artistic photographs of our ads and the way we meet our customers in the store.
What would you say Filippa K represents in fashion?
By combining timeless simplicity with contemporary edge, we make distinct fashion for modern urbanities with personal integrity and an eye for good design.
Great effort is put into giving our clothes an exceptionally flattering fit and making sure they are particularly comfortable to wear. We want to create garments that become peoples favorites: those beloved, well-fitting and comfortable clothes you wear over and over again.
Do you see any differences in American vs. Scandinavian design?
There are quite a few similarities between the two - a love of clean lines, simplicity, comfort and even practicality. Scandinavian design maybe differs a bit in that there is a stronger restraint in the way we design that is very much part of our cultural design heritage; less is more really applies to our sense of aesthetic.
San Francisco is a city that offers a large variety of clothing and many designers are represented in the city. What gap do you think Filippa K could fill?
We aim for the customer who is interested in fashion and design but also appreciates quality, detailing and a European fit. Clothing that is simple enough to last over several seasons and that wont break your wallet. The fine balance between these two goals is what gives Filippa K a unique position amid many other brands.
The store opened up in kind of hard times amidst a financial crisis. Are you worried that this will affect sales considering its a newly opened store? And how do you handle this?
When we started to plan the San Francisco project the financial market and economical situation in the US was not what it is today. We still believe that there is a strong market for Filippa K in the US. However, it is going to be much tougher than we first anticipated, we need to tread lightly and be as flexible as possible. Hopefully the philosophy of our brand is a welcome breath of fresh air in times like these when overconsumption, logo identification, astronomical fashion prices and a general sense of greed are being replaced by intelligence, dignity and grace very much portrayed by the new President, Mr. Obama himself.
In Sweden you recently opened up a second hand store for Filippa K clothes. What was the idea behind this? Were you ever worried about losing sales from your regular stores?
We opened up the secondhand store in June. The idea came out of an environmental brainstorming session. Like any company thats concerned about these things, weve spent a lot of energy thinking about how we source, how we produce, how we distribute ... but it struck us that we had given almost no thought to what happens to the Filippa K clothes once they have been sold. Creating our own secondhand market seemed like a good way to do something green. We dont worry about losing sales in our stores. We believe that the secondhand store reinforces the customers relationship with Filippa K and shows that we take our responsibility seriously.
The Filippa K brand was at points in time so trendy that some young girls would feel proud just walking down the street with a paper bag bearing the company logo; in Sweden, this brand has had some of the snob-appeal that the Gucci name has elsewhere in Europe.
Despite the extreme name recognition this label enjoys, Filippa K-the-person (not the brand), doesnt get mentioned in gossip columns. In fact, she keeps such a low-profile that few people would recognize her if they bumped into her on the street.
Im not interested in having people prying into my private life, she explained in an earlier interview.
Im not a product in myself. I prefer to stay low-key.
Short facts about Filippa K
Started 1993 by Filippa Knutsson and her colleague Patrik Kihlborg. Karin Segerblom joined the company at an early stage.
Today the company has a yearly turnover of SEK 390 million (EUR 41 million)
Filippa K is sold in 20 countries, has 40 brand stores in Europe and the USA, and is represented by more than 750 select retailers worldwide.
The brand got a lot of attention in June 2008 when it opened up its own second hand store in Stockholm, selling used garments of the brand.
The store in San Francisco is the first flagship store in the US, with the complete mens and womens collections available.

A Quiet Place
Out Now On-Demand
If they hear you, they hunt you.
John Krasinski (The Office) directs, co-writes and stars alongside Emily Blunt (Edge of Tomorrow) in this horror in which a family must stay silent to hide from deadly creatures that hunt by sound.
Set in the very near future, a rural American family has adapted to a world now inhabited by a plague of vicious killing machines that have brought down modern civilisation. Living their lives in near silence to escape detection by the monsters' super-hearing, parents and children struggle with domestic life as well as the need to remain human in the face of unstoppable creatures trying to snuff out their existence.

Sound has always been an essential element of cinematic horror: a buzzing chainsaw; a creaky door; a humming, Edwardian child; what is heard is always more terrifying that what is seen, and, done right, what is not heard is scariest of all. A Quiet Place takes this to an extreme, setting itself in a world where survival is only possible in complete and utter silence.
Taking place in a not so distant future in which the world has been overrun by large, mysterious spider-like creatures that hunt via their excellent hearing, A Quiet Place follows a family of four as they attempt to live their lives without making a sound, a task made considerably more difficult by their soon-to-be-born third child.
Directed by and starring The Office alum John Krasinski alongside his real-life wife Emily Blunt, it is a subtle, simple story that wisely allows the concept to do most of the talking. With almost wordless performances, sound is used carefully, strategically and sometimes eschewed altogether for scenes from the perspective of the couple's deaf teenage daughter (a part played with admirable intensity by deaf actress Millicent Simmonds, who taught the cast the sign language used throughout).
Coupled with a patient, lingering camera, some nicely restrained CGI, and naturalistic performances, the result is almost unbearable suspense whereby even scenes of total banality are permeated with creeping dread as we wait for the inevitable moments in which the silence is broken.
Like 2017's much-lauded It Comes at Night, A Quiet Place seeks to examine the intimate domestic disasters caused by an apocalyptic global event. Unlike the former, however, it is with a kind of optimistic humanism that Krasinski approaches the survivalist narrative, something which, thankfully, saves it from becoming yet another 'people are the real monsters' flick. As a group of people struggling to repress something so instinctive and intuitive in times of distress, Krasinski, Blunt, and co. are most tested by finding ways to express their love for one another - a sentiment that pairs nicely with the gruesome violence constantly looming.
Of course it's not perfect and, for all the care and subtlety put into the technical aspects of the film, Krasinski has a tendency to lay it on a little thick plot-wise: a father-daughter rift, a sticky-uppy floorboard nail, a big white board with maybe a few too many clues written on it, are all things that we could have done without.
As a cinematic experience A Quiet Place is more a physical than an intellectual one and, as is often the case with such things, once the tension wears off it is easy to nit-pick. Yet, as a simple, modern horror, A Quiet Place demonstrates a deft and canny ability to turn the minutiae of everyday monotony into the stuff of nightmares.

Interesting concept - could have done more
Overall I enjoyed A Quiet Place. I thought the concept was unique for a feature-length movie, and it was well-acted and executed. The lack of sounds was used to great effect. However, the characters were quite one-dimensional and the attempts at more in-depth relationships felt forced and superficial. I also didn't find it scary - some tense moments to be sure, but it felt more like watching the scene in Jurassic Park when the velociraptors are on the loose!
Shush please.
"Ugh why did I get popcorn when I really should have got some chips?!" these were the first words out of the mouth-breather to his bro squad who had all just sat down behind me during the previews. After another minute of their meathead banter I decided it would be less ugly if I just got up and found another seat down the back (I usually end up switching seats 3 times before a film starts)
A Quite Place doesn't mess around. In the opening scene the table is set: scary monsters have taken over the world and are killing everyone, bummer. They may be blind but hunt aided by their scary ear thingys. So if you talk too loud, use cellphones or chew popcorn insistently, I will shush you - or get up and change seats and...um, where was I?
For a movie that's prominently dialogue free - the characters communicate with sign language - it is incredibly engaging as we follow the survival of a small family with another on the way. The soundproof nursery and method for keeping baby quite during the night is ingenious and will no doubt lead to copy-cat mishaps. Visually, the film is a knockout and thick with atmosphere and while I often find jump scares to be a cheap trick the inevitable moments that come in a film that's mostly quite, were logical, clever and got me reeeal good a couple of times.
Let's talk about the sound design. It was flippin' awesome, I never thought the noise of someone being ripped apart off screen could be so harrowing.
Howwwwwever A Quite Place didn't spook me the way The Witch or It Follows did, The suspense isn't really scary, instead we're treated to grim foreboding and escalating squirmy dread as the characters who for the most part have good heads on their shoulders (while they do) end up knocking over loud objects and stubbing toes.
I was into it though, and so was everyone else. I forgot about shushing anyone as the whole theatre broke into moments of collective "Oh Nose!" and frightened whispering time and time again.
Which made it all good fun. And that's what a horror movie should be.
Effective horror at its best.
A beautifully directed and filmed, well-written film uplifted by gripping performances from its cast. If it had focused on the emotional aspect of its plot slightly more it'd be perfect. But it's a thought-provoking film none the less.

intense and interesting
Very curious start, good storyline and overall very entertaining.
Worth a watch
I mostly enjoyed this movie. It suffers from the same problem as a lot of modern cgi titles, mainly - 'overexposure/oversharing'. You get to see the monsters early on, and it kills the mood. Ideally, it is great when movies like this keep the mystery of what the creatures look like until the very end. Another issue is cgi in itself. The lack of practical effects is palpable.
The plot, overall, is moderately good. Some character decisions are quite illogical, and there is a couple of plot holes.
As a massive fan of the horror genre, I would still recommend to give this movie a go.

Holey plotline Batman!
I really wanted to love this movie. Like, REALLY wanted to love it. I'd amped myself up for it & had had my belief it was going to be great confirmed by people who had seen it already.
Sigh. The movie's not bad, it's a solid scarer. But it's not great & sadly had several gaping holes that left me underwhelmed. Again, this review is spoilery AF so don't read on if you're fussed about that.
I'm not going to go over the basic set up much – insectoid creatures arrive on earth, they hunt by sound, gotta be quiet else they'll get ya! The film starts on Day 89 of the… er… invasion I guess, with a family of five out scavenging for supplies. Little Jimmy, aged 4, doesn't get the memo about being quiet & blasts off a very loud toy spaceship. Pa does his best to get to him but them insect aliens is fast & little Jimmy is quickly snatched up & (presumably) devoured. And there is my first issue with the film. A small child getting eaten should have had a big emotional hit but I felt… nothing. Because I didn't know him. I didn't know the family, I didn't know what they'd been through to get to this point, there was not even a small amount of lead in to build a connection to this family. Backstory people, it matters.
Skip forward to day 470-odd. Pa does his best to teach the kids how to survive… quietly, while Ma contemplates how she is going to squeeze out a sprog… quietly. Down in the basement Pa is trying to fix his daughter's cochlear implant & also figure out how to kill the beasties. There is a whiteboard with several notes – BLIND, ARMOUR, WHAT IS THEIR WEAKNESS?? And this is where the holes just open up for me.
1. In the opening scene we glimpse a newspaper headline announcing, 'IT'S SOUND!!!'. Aha! We've discovered how they're hunting us! Presumably at this point humanity still had the structure in place to write, print & deliver a newspaper. And yet, having come to the conclusion that a creature that relies on sound to hunt, is sensitive to even the most subtle sound, we haven't figured out that they could be hurt, could be incapacitated by too much sound? Or if we have figured that out, that there is not enough infrastructure around to actually do something with that information? (Remember, we can still write, print & deliver a newspaper). I'm not a smart man Jenny, but I know that it hurts when I turn my headphones up too loud. It seems unlikely no clever-Richard came up with the idea that we could go all Spinal Tap on them? Turn a few amps up to 11, sort out a little feedback & see how they like that?
2. The bugs are armoured, this is true. It's hinted at that this makes them near indestructible. And yet Ma manages to bring one down no problem with a shotgun blast to the face. A shotgun at close range is pretty effective, sure. Know what else is effective – big nasty machine guns. If a shotgun can bring one down I'm pretty sure a heavy machine gun is going to be able to manage the job. Not sure if everyone is aware but the worlds military establishments have lots of guns. Yes guns are noisy but this leads into...
3. The creatures are blind. Along with their sensitivity to sound that seems like a big weakness to me. If they're blind they should be pretty easy to entice into a trap. Make a big noise, draw them into an area surrounded by heavily armed dudes and blammo. Sure the guns will attract more of them but there was no indication in the film that the numbers of these things were insurmountable. Humanity wasn't overrun, just outclassed. We could even avoid having people there at all. There is no indication that these bad-boys can fly & we have some fairly formidable attack helicopters, not to mention, I dunno, drones. We could be taking them out from the air fairly easily.
Sigh again. I know I've put too much thought into this. I know it doesn't matter that much. It's just a shame these holes spoiled the film for me because there is a lot to like. The premise is great & the monsters themselves look awesome. There are a good number of jump-scares & even better, the tension is ratcheted up nicely throughout the film. It just feels like a bit of polishing could have made this film the great piece of entertainment I was hoping for.
A smart and suspenseful silent hit.
I don't usually watch horror movies because most of today's horror movies are just a gore fest designed to make you feel sick. This is not one of those movies. This is a very intelligent movie that keeps your attention through an interesting set up and well built atmosphere. So even if you are not a fan of scary movies this should stay on your radar.
As shown on the trailers the premise is that humanity has been decimated by a species that hunt using sound. Be quiet, and they won't find you. Make a loud noise and you better say your prayers, quickly, because they will quickly come for you. This means that for most of the movie the characters are trying to be quiet and communicate with sign language (subtitles provided). It's the classic trick to build suspence in a movie, the designated victims trying to not make a sound, but here it is taken to another level. The whole theater will be quiet for most of the movie as the audience is gripped by the atmosphere on screen. (In fact, I suggest you turn those phones off, because even a phone on vibrate will be too loud)
There is not really any gore, but there are jolts and there is a lot of suspence. You won't feel like covering your eyes, instead you will have to remember to breathe at times.
In retrospect, the plot is thin, but it doesn't matter. What counts is that the movie can keep your attention for its full duration.
This is helped by a very smart script and by characters that are well acted and behave believably. The script makes you feel for these characters and you will like them, root for them, and be afraid with them. The actors, both kids and adults, do a great job with the material. Given the very sparse dialogue they need to portray their emotions with their actions and expressions, and they do so very well.
There are no crazy action sequences, the action that is on the screen is believable and therefore more suspenceful for it.
The cinematography is practical and to the point. The whole movie seems concise and focused, and that focus is to grab your attention and not let go.
Highly recommended.

2013 was a terrific yr for Buick . GM's mid-level luxurious model bought a little bit over a million vehicles worldwide, topping a gross sales document that dates again to 1984. Deliveries of the Encore and Enclave fashions have been decisive for the corporate's development, which is why Buick is including a 3rd crossover to its lineup as we transfer into the 2015 mannequin yr.

Electing a guardian may ensure that your children or incapacitated loved
one is cared for by someone you trust if you should die unexpectedly.
When you prepare for
probate by creating a will or estate plan, you may choose someone whom you believe
is financially, emotionally, physically, and mentally willing and able
to care for your loved ones. As long as the court deems this person satisfactory,
the person you elected will become your children or disabled loved one's
guardian. If an estate plan or will is not created before your untimely
death, and your spouse is unable to care for your relatives, the Puerto
Rican court system will determine a guardian for your loved ones. This
guardian may be a person that you know, a stranger, or an organization
that the court trusts to care for your children or disabled relative.
If you wish to elect a guardian, you may contact our
probate lawyer in Puerto Rico at our firm.
Children require guardians when their parents are unable to make decisions
in regards to their wellbeing and care. When a parent elects a guardian
for their children in a will, the court will assess the elected person,
and determine if the guardian will act in the children's best interests.
If the court approves of the elected person, they will become the children's
guardian. Similar rules apply for guardianship of a person, which is for
those who have certain disabilities and cannot make personal care decisions.
When their original parent or guardian becomes unable to care for the
incapacitated person, the court will either choose a guardian, or appoint
the person the parent or original guardian selected.
Guardians of an estate are appointed when a child or disabled person inherits
or owns property that they are unable to manage. The estate guardian will
manage the person or child's finances and accounts, but they are not
in charge of taking care of the disabled person or child. An estate guardianship
may end when the child reaches legal age, or when the court determines
the guardian is no longer needed. Limited guardianship is when a person
is chosen to manage or care for a person in a limited capacity, and the
guardian only has certain responsibilities determined by the court or
deceased parent. Every limited guardianship situation is completely individualistic,
and depends on the type of assistance a disabled person requires.
It may be impossible to foresee a situation where your children or incapacitated
loved ones are not in your care, but unfortunately, it may happen. It
is in your loved ones' best interests to elect a guardian, so the
Puerto Rican court does not choose a person on your behalf of which you
may not approve. If are caring for minor children or a disabled person,
please contact our office to elect a guardian and incorporate guardianship
into your
estate plan.

Chimney maintenance is a crucial part of being a homeowner, not only can a dysfunctional chimney put your property at risk but also the lives of its occupants. Most specialists would recommend yearly Online Doctor Prescription Phentermine, particularly if it is regularly used during the colder months. As a homeowner, you can begin this process by inspecting your chimney yourself to make the call of when it will need to be cleaned. In this article, we will talk you through step by step the various conditions, defects and problems you should be looking for during your inspection.
One of the most hazardous elements to look for when inspecting your flue is the build-up of creosote. Typically creosote build-up is found in Buy Adipex Cheap Online and can become highly flammable. Typically there are 3 stages of creosote; it starts as thick soot, develops into thicker black flakes and then finally forms into a hard tar-like substance. If the thickness of the build-up surpasses 1/8 of an inch in this tar-like state it can be extremely difficult to remove and will put you at risk of a chimney fire.
When inspecting your chimney you must look at both ends and this means looking at the chimney cap and crown for any defects. If the cap is missing or damaged you may be at risk of water leaking into the chimney and causing the flue to rust or water damaging the masonry.
It is also important to regularly check for any blockages or damaged areas within your flue. Any damage can put a flue at risk of leaking harmful gases such as carbon monoxide into your home. It could also allow sparks to enter the cracks and start a building fire. There is also the potential for water to leak down the flue and into cracks in the masonry ultimately compromising the structural integrity of the building.
Checking the direction of air flow is another important test which can be done with placing a tissue above the opening of your fireplace. This will allow you to see which direction the air is travelling in and if there is a blockage causing the air to drop back down. If the air is not properly escaping your property it can cause harmful gases and soot to drop into your home. Not only will this damage your furniture it can also be extremely harmful to your health.
Rust is another problem you may come across if your chimney is exposed to moisture for prolonged periods of time. Different components of your fireplace may suffer from rust starting at the top of the flue all the way down to the damper. If your damper is rusted open it means that debris can easily fall down into your flue causing blockages.
These are just a few of the basic regular check you can carry out as a homeowner with a chimney and fireplace. If you feel that your chimney is damaged in any way or that incomplete combustion is occurring it is imperative that you have it professionally inspected right away. Whilst there is the temptation to forget about the problem because it is not yet cold enough to be using your fireplace this can often worsen the problem.

"Among Hotel Gerbermühle's selling points is its fine dining restaurant (mains from €19.50) that combines local food (beef tartare, wiener schnitzel with cranberries) with international classics (chicken in calvados sauce). It is on the river and has great views of the city skyline."
"Frankfurt's wildest new hotel overlooks the river and Osthafen docklands on the central city's eastern edge. It's an art hotel with décor that ranges from antique (exposed stone walls) to offbeat (horse lamps)."
The building that houses the Hotel Gerbermühle has seen many transformations over the centuries since it was built in the 1300s. Constructed on left bank of the River Main in the 14th century, the structure was surely destined for great things as this was the foundation the rich history of the hotel today. In the 16th century, it was turned into a corn mill and in the 17th century, a tannery. These two historic roles have given the Gerbermühle its name. 'Gerber' means tannery and 'Mühle', mill. Its transformation into world famous hotel was envisioned by owner, Werner Kindermann who pioneered its renovation and refurbishment.
The German hotel is located in the posh Sachsenhausen neighborhood in Frankfurt. Sachsenhausen is characterized cobblestone streets and sun-dappled squares, which are an absolute pleasure to stroll. The area is best known for its apple wine and offers a vibrant nightlife with lots of bars and beer gardens to choose from.
The suites of the hotel were the creation of architects Müller & Jourdan, who drew inspiration from the building's physical structure and historical legacy. The old stone walls and exposed beams are remnants of the build's past. Each room is named after someone who played a role in the life of structure.

Pro-Life Students Speak Loudly Against Abortion on Silent Day
Bryan Kemper
For the past 8 years the third Tuesday of October has been one of the most emotional days of the year for me. I generally sit by my computer talking to reporters about why I have asked students to give up talking for the day. In between media interviews, I read stories from students about babies being saved, hearts changing and young people taking a stand for life in this culture of death.
This year's event was dedicated to the memory of fellow abortion abolitionist Kortney Gordon and her pre-born child Sophy, both of whom were killed the week before the Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity in a tragic car accident. This past Saturday I was attending Kortney and Sophy's funeral and wore a button that read, " I am the pro-life generation".
My friend Kelsey Hazzard was talking to me about her AbortionSafety.com project when she joked about my wearing the button at my age. I may be 44 years old but I have had a key role in helping build the "pro-life generation", as I have been active in youth pro-life work for 20 years.
The "pro-life generation" is not just a term to describe this generation; it is what is happening across America and around the world. I strongly believe this generation will be the one to usher in a culture of life and bring an end to legalized child killing. We are witnessing courage, conviction and resolve like never before. Young people like Korntney don't just want to fight abortion; they are bound and determined to end it.
I usually wait very impatiently for that first e-mail from a student telling me of a baby saved because of the PLDSS; the first story is always the most exciting every year.
This year as I was reading the reports starting to come in and looking at the pictures, I was intrigued by some of the trends I was seeing. The first thing I noticed was how many pregnant girls were writing in about participating in this year's event. Of course, I am not celebrating teen pregnancy, but I was thrilled to hear them talk about why they chose life for their child and chose to be a voice for others.
Some wrote about how someone first talked to them about life and convinced them to keep their child. They knew that their choice for life was important and that they must take a stand for other young girls who are facing teen pregnancy. They were so passionate about being moms and the choice they made and they wanted to share that joy and passion with this generation.
Another thing that struck me this year was how many first-time participants we had who were taking on this day alone. I read about how nervous they were as they walked into school not knowing if anyone else would be taking the vow of silence or how their friends would react to their stand.
Many of these kids faced some heavy persecution from both their peers and school faculty as they went through the day. Students told me about dirty looks, rude comments, eye rolls and outright harassment — and this was from teachers. They talked about how other students would make comments about how they should have been aborted or how stupid pro-life was, but no matter what they faced they took a stand and shined a light in their schools.
While there were stories of harassment there were also many stories of solidarity and support from unexpected places. One student told me about how one of the most popular boys in school read her flyer and then joined her for rest of the day. Others talked about how they brought a whole roll of duct tape to school and by the end of the day it was depleted from the number of kids who joined them.
Many students bring literature and other educational tools to school with them to help educate their classmates with the truth about abortion. With today's technology and tools like smart phones and iPads it is easy to show people the truth without using words. I heard more stories about people changing their minds and hearts about abortion then ever before.
By the time I got the first story about a baby being saved from abortion because of someone participating in the PLDSS I was already emotionally overwhelmed. Of course I was thrilled to hear this news and knew it was only one of many stories like this to come. I also knew that was not going to be the focus of this year's wrap-up story.
My friend Kelsey was joking with me when she told me I could be an honorary member of the "pro-life generation", and even posted a photo online of me wearing that button. She knows as well as I do that my generation has failed; we have handed down a legacy of over fifty-three million dead babies.
While my generation has some amazing heroes who have taught me and been part in laying the groundwork for the "pro-life generation", we have failed to end abortion.
Yesterday I saw a glimpse into the heart of the "pro-life generation" and I am so excited to be a part of this movement right now. I saw a courage that I would have never had at that age — a courage that will change this world. I saw a resolve that blew my mind, a resolve that can accomplish anything — even bringing an end to abortion. I saw character that would make me proud as a parent to see in my children — a character that is surly making their heavenly Father proud.
The Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity was a day dedicated to one of the most amazing pro-life activists I have ever had the honor to stand next to in battle. While Kortney has gone on to be with the Lord, her passion, courage and strength shone through the kids that took a stand this year. I know Kortney would be as excited as I am to see such an amazing new wave of abortion abolitionists who will usher in a culture of life and help end the abortion holocaust.
Those in the abortion industry might want to think about going back to school and finding a new career because yours is going to end. Mark my words: We will end child killing and abortion will be abolished.

Why have external factors presented investors with a strong opportunity over the last two years to allocate to emerging-market debt?
Positive externalities?
Why have external factors presented investors with a strong opportunity over the last two years to allocate to emerging-market debt?
The yield to maturity of emerging-market (EM) U.S. dollar-denominated bonds has reached the same level as in February 2016 when oil was trading below $30, in spite of improving fundamentals and an accelerating pace of economic growth in developing economies.
Many of the factors that can be attributed to this sell-off are not inherent to emerging markets. As much as 60% of the negative returns year to date can be associated with rising U.S. Treasury yields.
Chart 1. The yield levels of emerging market USD bonds were at the same level as in February 2016
Source: Aberdeen Standard Investments, Bloomberg, JP Morgan EM $ Sov = EMBI Global Diversified, EM $ Corporate = JP Morgan CEMBI Broad Diversified, EM LC Sov = GBI EM Global Diversified, May 15, 2018. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Indexes are unmanaged and have been provided for comparison purposes only. No fees or expenses are reflected. You cannot invest directly in an index.
We consider some of the factors driving emerging-market bond prices below, and why we believe the current sell-off presents not only an attractive entry point, but an opportunity to actively (albeit selectively) add risk to one's portfolio.
Performance drivers across EM bonds
Let's first take a look at USD sovereign bonds. Year-to-date, spreads in USD sovereign bonds have widened by 0.37% to 3.22%. The yield of the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified has increased by 0.92%, to 6.20%, over the same time period. In terms of returns, EM dollar sovereign bonds have returned -3.9% year-to-date, with -2.7% attributed to rising U.S. Treasury yields.
Since the high of the EM sovereign spreads in February 2016, EM dollar sovereign bonds have delivered +17.8% (in USD, unhedged), in spite of Treasury returns detracting -4.6% from the overall performance. This demonstrates the ability of the asset class to deliver positive returns in spite of the rising interest rate environment. Frontier bonds in particular have benefitted from this situation, with their lower duration profile insulating such bonds to a certain extent from the Treasury impact while their larger spreads offer further room for compression.
Chart 2. Higher U.S. Treasury yields have been the primary driver of the bond sell-off

Indexes are unmanaged and have been provided for comparison purposes only. No fees or expenses are reflected. You cannot invest directly in an index.
Now let's look at USD corporate bonds. Similarly in emerging-market corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury yields have been the dominant drivers of returns year to date, with Treasury returns accounting for -1.74% of the -2.41% returns the JP Morgan CEMBI Broad Diversified has experienced year to date. Spreads have widened, particularly across lower-rated bonds; BBB rated bonds widened by 11 basis points (bps) year to date, while BB-rated bonds widened by 23 bps and B rated bonds widened by 43 bps on the S&P.
During the recent bond sell-off, emerging-market corporate bonds displayed higher resilience than other fixed-income dollar-denominated asset classes. This is due in part to their higher credit quality as an investment-grade asset class (BBB-) but also because they tend to be composed of less leveraged companies than in developed markets. The JP Morgan CEMBI Broad Diversified, which represents the broader EM corporate bond market, offers an attractive yield of 5.9% with a relatively short duration of 4.7 years.
While improving economic growth and falling inflation in emerging markets offer a "Goldilocks" environment for corporates, an index comprising over 630 issuers and 1391 bonds requires careful selection affordable to few investors.
Let's move to local currency bonds. A rising U.S. dollar has meant that investors investing in emerging-market local currency debt suffered from a currency return perspective year to date. However, in spite of the negative currency returns that have particularly affected investors with a USD base currency, local currency bonds have outperformed hard currency debt so far this year.
In USD (unhedged), the JP Morgan GBI EM Global Diversified has returned -1.09% year-to-date, but this comes in the context of strong performance - local currency bonds had returned +13.08% over the last two years (in USD, unhedged).
Selection has been key in emerging-market local currency bonds, where in spite of overall index negative returns, several countries delivered positive returns.
However, the overall index, which consists of 18 countries, dipped into negative performance territory this year due to Argentina and Turkey, which posted disproportionately negative returns relative to the rest of the index. Argentina's is currently in discussion with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for financial support. Turkey continues to suffer from a high and poorly financed current account deficit.
Chart 3. Argentina and Turkey have been the main drivers of local currency bonds underperformance

While the currency impact has detracted from performance in USD terms, the interest-rate component continues to contribute strongly to returns. Investors in emerging-market local currency bonds have been able to take advantage of the accommodative monetary policies in emerging markets.
Unlike in the U.S. where the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) is tightening monetary policy, easing inflation has afforded central banks in emerging markets additional leeway to cut interest rates.
Selectively adding EMD exposure
Given the predicted negative government bond returns in many developed markets over the next few years, as many advanced economies engage in the tightening of monetary policy, we believe return-seeking investors in fixed income should gradually increase their allocation to EM bonds.
Positive technical factors such as the proposed inclusion of Chinese local currency debt in the global aggregate indices beginning in June 2019 should account for as much as $250 billion according to UBS, raising Chinese debt exposure in the index from a mere 0.6% to 5.5%. This is also likely to raise foreign ownership of Chinese local currency debt from approximately 3.5% to 8% or 9% over time (in contrast to 37% foreign ownership of U.S. Treasuries).
Given the rally the asset class has experienced since 2016, the recent bout of underperformance has offered an attractive point of entry for investors willing to stomach short-term volatility.
The underperformance of the asset class has been driven by factors unconnected to EM fundamentals, which remain strong and improving on average – accelerating real economic growth in EM is expected to rise to 5.0% by 2022, while the decelerating growth in advance economies is expected to drop to 1.5% by 2022, according to the IMF's Spring 2018 forecast.
The asset class has also matured into a wide range of sub-asset classes, ranging from sovereign bonds in USD to corporate bonds in local currencies.
Investors have increasingly tailored their allocation to EM debt, assessing the sub-asset classes' unique characteristics and their willingness to be exposed to either interest-rate or currency risk.

Opportunities for active management
The recent sell-off in EM debt has refocused investors' attention on idiosyncratic risk, highlighting the need for active portfolio management. This has been particularly important after two years of rapid inflows, increasingly through passive allocations, which has often resulted in the indiscriminate buying of bonds. "EM tourists" and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) often tend to target certain specific securities in order to replicate beta exposure (a similar return profile as an index comprising many more securities) and/or due to the liquidity profile of certain instruments.
We believe that this offers opportunities for active management. The ability to make informed decisions based on deep fundamental research allows active managers to use the recent externalities impacting emerging markets to take advantage of market opportunities.
Important Information
Past performance is not an indication of future results.
Fixed income securities are subject to certain risks including, but not limited to: interest rate (changes in interest rates may cause a decline in the market value of an investment), credit (changes in the financial condition of the issuer, borrower, counterparty, or underlying collateral), prepayment (debt issuers may repay or refinance their loans or obligations earlier than anticipated), call (some bonds allow the issuer to call a bond for redemption before it matures), and extension (principal repayments may not occur as quickly as anticipated, causing the expected maturity of a security to increase).
Foreign securities are more volatile, harder to price and less liquid than U.S. securities. They are subject to different accounting and regulatory standards, and political and economic risks. These risks are enhanced in emerging markets countries.

TEFL Jobs Overseas is a complete guide for TEFL jobs, TEFL teachers, TEFL information or TEFL Courses. TEFL Jobs Overseas has many current TEFL jobs for teaching overseas. Before beginning your teaching overseas adventure, you can find any TEFL information you need to help make an informed decision about a TEFL teaching career teaching English overseas.
It's one of the unwritten fears of teaching English abroad; stepping into your first lesson scares everyone silly.
If someone tells you they weren't scared before their first lesson, they're lying through their teeth. If they insist that they weren't remotely nervous, they're probably a lunatic, and you should walk slowly away, avoiding eye contact and making soothing noises. Anyway, back to the matter in hand, you can keep those 'Oh my god, it's my first English lesson' nerves to a minimum by following these five simple bits of advice.
1: Prepare an Appropriate Lesson Plan in Advance
Doesn't get more obvious than that does it? If you've got a good lesson plan nailed, the rest should come pretty easily. Just make sure you know the age of the students and their level of English before you start planning the lesson. It's also worth checking out what type of classroom you'll be teaching in and what facilities it has. As a rule of thumb, when your teaching kids in a school environment they'll be happy to have a pretty informal first lesson where you introduce yourself to them and get them to introduce themselves to you (either through a written or oral task).
When you're teaching adults who are actually paying for your time, it is usually a good idea to find out beforehand whereabouts they are with their studies and whether they have been working through a curriculum: if they have, you'll just need to do a quick introduction and then get back into the serious study. For many adult students learning English is a huge investment and they take it very seriously and they won't appreciate a full hour of information about you, your home town and your childhood pets.
2: Make The Classroom Your Domain
Remember, it is your classroom. So arrange it how you want it before your students come in. Then when they start arriving for the lesson, greet them as they enter the classroom. A simple 'Hello, I'm Mr Smith' is fine. It sets you up as the teacher and establishes a rapport between you and your students. And it beats the hell out of standing in front of a rowdy class desperately trying to get their attention.
3: Stop Talking!
Photo by Clover Autrey
Cast your mind back to when you were at school. Remember those teachers who just stood at the front of the class and talked at you. They seemed to love the sound of their own voice and all you ever did in their lessons was take notes and clock watch. Well, you don't want to be one of those teachers for two very good reasons. Talking for a whole lesson is really hard work and takes hours of planning and writing. And the students don't learn much, they get bored silly and they disrupt the class.
Make sure the lesson plan for your first TEFL lesson has some group activities and ice-breakers so that your students spend some time working together and talking amongst themselves. That way both you and your students will be enjoying yourself in no time.
4: Be In Control
Remember the old saying 'First impressions count'. That's what makes it so important to take control of your first lesson. You don't want to set yourself up as a hard, harsh teacher that scares the bejesus out of their students, but you don't want to be a pushover either. So it's a good idea to set out what you expect from your students in the first lesson and what will happen if they don't stick to a few basic rules.
You may feel a little awkward standing in front of the class and laying down the law, but it'll make things loads easier in the future. Ensure that your body language is relaxed and confident and that you talk in a clear and authoritative tone of voice, if you can manage that everything else will fall into place and being 'teacher' will become second nature.
5: Relax And Enjoy It.
When you're walking to that first lesson in a foreign classroom remember three things.
1: Deep down you do want to be there.
2: Your students want you there.
3: The school decided you had everything they wanted from a teacher.
So just relax and enjoy it. This is what all the study, long haul flights, vaccinations, visa forms and course fees was about. You'll be a great teacher and this is just the start of your big TEFL adventure. It's exciting, not scary. Honest!
Are you a TEFL teacher? Can you remember what you did in your first lesson?

Police on Long Island now say the 12-year-old girl who claimed she was sexually molested in Roosevelt by two men in masks made up the story to cover for a voluntary sex encounter she had with her boyfriend.
But investigators say the report of two other girls – who claim they were followed and chased by two masked men several hours after the false report – may still be true, and cops continue to search for them.
Nassau County Police Inspector Jay Caputo said the 12-year-old "was actually at the home of her boyfriend, with whom she had consensual sex," when she claimed she was being molested.
"She was late getting home," said Caputo. "She thought she was going to get in trouble, so she made up a story."
But Caputo said the girl seems to have no connection to the two 15-year-old girls who say they were followed and chased by two masked men with puffy jackets that evening, also in Roosevelt.
The 12-year-old was in the hospital being questioned by police and her account was not yet public when the two teens told other officers about the two men, Caputo said.
As a result, he said "the possibility does still exist" that two masked men intent on grabbing young girls off the street are still out there.

Part 1: Prayer
O.K. Here we go, confession time. Prayer is something I have been told my entire Christian life is powerful. But, I am a doer! And prayer often times doesn't seem like doing to me. It seems like waiting, like I am on the sidelines. I want in the game. Do you know what I mean? I want to get my hands dirty. Truthfully, I want others to see me contributing. Can you relate?
As we look at the world around us and see what is happening in Baltimore, Nepal, with Isis and all the issues with the police, it can become overwhelming. How do we respond? It is so easy for me to just go back to living my comfortable life. It is also so easy to respond with the cliche, "I'll pray for you." But do I mean it? Do I even believe pray will change anything?
The truth is, YES! PRAYER WORKS! In 1 Thes. 5:17 we are told to "pray continually." In 1 Timothy 2:8, we are told, "I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer…" Then 1 Timothy 2:1-2 says, "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made FOR EVERYONE—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."
Timothy Keller says it this way: "To fail to pray, then, is not to merely break some religious rule—it is a failure to treat God as God. It is a sin against his glory. 'Far be it from me,' said the prophet Samuel to his people, 'that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you." (1 Samuel 12:23)
When we stop and pray for those who are experiencing immense tragedy in Nepal, or for the people of Baltimore, or for our police departments, we are acknowledging God as the solution. We are saying, you and you alone can bring peace, comfort, love and salvation. Our practice of prayer doesn't reveal what we believe about prayer itself. It reveals what we truly believe about God. Prayer is our opportunity to acknowledge God as the one with all authority (Matthew 28:19-20). Prayer is our opportunity to put into practice our faith (active trust) in who God is! Prayer then becomes an opportunity for God to reveal himself to us, as we surrender ourself to Him, giving us direction on how we can engage the pivotal moments that happen every day in the world around us.
"Prayer is simply the key to everything we need to do and be in life. We must learn to pray. We have to." —Timothy Keller
Will you join us in praying specifically for the Christian communities in Nepal, Baltimore and around the world, that God will reveal himself to them and empower them to share about the one God who can truly meet the physical and spiritual needs during this time?
