Congratulations Now Institute SUPRASTUDIO
99% Preservation and 1% Densification: A Case for Urban Density A Long the Wilshire Corridor and 100% Sustainable: Strategies for 2050 Renewable Energy, Local Water, and Ecosystem Health in Los Angeles were developed by Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect and UCLA Distinguished Professor, Thom Mayne, and The Now Institute SUPRASTUDIO to address and conceptualize the energy, water, and ecosystem goals laid out by the UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge in light of a growing population.
The greater Los Angeles region holds nearly half of the state's population and makes up the third largest metropolitan economy in the world. The effort put forward in these publications is twofold: The first publication evaluates the Sustainable LA Grand Challenge goals to achieve 100% renewable energy, 100% locally sourced water and enhanced ecosystem and human health for Los Angeles County by 2050. The second analyzes the viability of three distinct urban growth scenarios, with a full demonstration study of a scenario which preserves 99% of LA County by densifying 1% of land and measures the impact of densification on future sustainability.

By 2050, the County of Los Angeles is projected to increase in population by 1.5 million people. Historically, conventional approaches to accommodating growth in LA County have included developing suburban communities at further distances from the urban core. Although The Now Institute has analyzed potential growth scenarios that include greater urbanization in the less developed northern LA County, they opted to focus on a scenario that accommodated projected growth while maintaining the County's neighborhood integrity over the largest area feasible. "By densifying just 1% of the County along the Wilshire Corridor at a density lower than Manhattan's, we can preserve 99% of LA's classic urban texture and natural landscape," noted Mayne.

A truly royal eastern retreat, Dhenkanal Palace, the residence of the former Rajas of Dhenkanal is now a heritage homestay where one can experience history, tradition, art, culture and heritage of Dhenkanal.
The last ruler, Raja Shankar Pratap Mahindra Bahadur (1925 – 65), was the seventeenth
ruler since the foundation of the State and the first ruler in Orissa to merge with
India in 1948. The present Raja of Dhenkanal is Brig Raja Kamakhya Prasad Singh
Deo Mahindra Bahadur ( 1941- ).
Dhenkanal is bordered in the north by the Pallahara and Keonjhar Feudatory States and the Sukinda Zamindari of Cuttack district, in the west by the district of Angul and the States of Talcher and Hindol; in the south by the Baramba, Tigiria and Athagarh States and by the Balarampur, Madhupur, Darpani, Kalkala and Dalijora Zamindaris of Cuttack district, in the east. Third in stature among all the feudatory states of Orissa, Dhenkanal state held an area of 1463 square miles.
Before the predecessors of the present Raja occupied the Gadi of the State as ruling chiefs, land to the south of the Brahmani River was subdivided into small principalities ruled over by semi-independent chiefs of aboriginal descent. At that time most land in and around was ruled over by a chieftain named Dhenka a member of the Sabar tribe. A similar area towards the west, called Garh Besalia, was ruled by a chieftain of the Bhanja clan, named Sreedhar Bhanja. Sreedhar defeated Dhenka in battle. On his death-bed Dhenka asked Sreedhar Bhanja that as the latter had mortally injured him and had intended to take possession of his favorite place, he should, in order to maintain his supremacy and memory, name his territory after his (Dhenka) own name and that he should preserve and worship a relic of his, which is till date worshipped every day at the Dhenkanal Palace.
The genealogy of the line of the present ruling chief begins with Raja Hari Singh (afterwards Hari Singh Bidyadhar, who came to Puri from the Rajputana states with his brothers Govind Singh and Janardan Singh. The eldest, Govind Singh became the Maharaja of Orissa after the death of Maharaja Pratap Rudra Deb. In 1529, the Maharaja offered him as jagir, a strip of land called the Karamul Patna of Singha Rai Khola in Dhenkanal comprising seven kosh on the banks of the River Brahmani. Raja Hari Singh ruled till 1584 and was succeeded by his son Raja Loknath Rai Singh Bhramarbar Rai.
Raja Loknath laid the foundation of the Baldev Jew temple or what is now called Balaram Mandir, barely 500 mts from Dhenkanal Palace.
Raja Balabhadra Rai Singh Bhramarbar Rai succeeded his father in 1606 and ruled till 1632. His son son of Nilakantha Rai Singh Bhramarbar Rai further succeeded him.
The rule of the chivalrous ruler Raja Nrusingha Rai Singh Bhramarbar Rai (1652 - 1694) is amongst the most important chapters in the history of Dhenkanal. He extended the area of Dhenkanal by annexing portions from Keonjhar, Athagarh, Tigiria, Madhupur and Sukinda. He completed the temple of Baldev Jew and set up the idol in it.
Raja Kunja Behari Rai Singh Bhramarbar Rai, the next in line (1694 – 1720) annexed the Gotmara Biso from Angul and established the Kunja Beharipur Sasan and the temple of Sambhu Gopal Jew at Dhenkanal, while Braja Behari Rai Singh Bhramarbar Rai (1720 – 1740) was responsible for the Braja Beharipur Sasan and the temple of Jaigopal Jew.
The valiant Raja Trilochan Mahindra Bahadur (1746-88) fell out with the Maratha Rajas of Nagpur, who had been establishing their supremacy in Orissa, owing to some disagreement in the payment of pesh kush (tribute). The Subedar then appealed to the Bhonsle Raja of Nagpur and in response to a requisition for fresh troops a large army led by Chimna jee Bhonsle was sent to subdue Dhenkanal. Many skirmishes and a closely fought battle ensued between 1779 and 1781 which stretched into a stalemate and the Maratha Army withdrew. For this act of valour the Maharaja of Puri conferred on the Raja the hereditary title of Mahindra Bahadur, reserving that of Rai Singh Bhramarbar Rai to be enjoyed by the heirs-apparent, the Yuvaraj.
Krishna Chandra Mahindra Bahadur (1812-22)
Shyam Sundar Mahindra Bahadur (1822-32)
Maharaja Bhagirath a scholar of Sanskrit was an able administrator, a patron of learning and industrial improvements, a man of exemplary character and liberal views introduced new administrative reforms and secured order by settling the tenure of the State and by introducing working methods as well as the maintenance of accounts of the various departments. The establishment of public institutions such as schools, dispensaries, jails, and courts was undertaken by him. He commissioned the building of what is presently known as Dhenkanal Palace.
Maharaja Bhagirath had no issue of his own and adopted as his heir Raja Dinabandhu Mahindra Bahadur the youngest brother of the late Chief of Boud. Dinabandhu was a minor when Maharaja Bhagirathi Mahindra Bahadur passed away. In 1885 the State came under the management of the Court of Wards after the death of the Raja. He was remembered by his widow, the daughter of the Chief of Bonai (who was known as Rajarshi, the most pious and orthodox ruler) and his infant son, Surapratap.
The sixteenth ruler, he was born in 1885 and took charge of the State in 1906 at the age of twenty one. The State remained under Government management for the period between his father's death and his takeover of the state.
The Dowager Rani Annapurna, mother of Surapratap, dedicated herself to works of public good for the upliftment of humanity. The Narayan temple at Kapilash as well as vast water reservoirs were constructed on her orders.
Rajarshi Surapratap after his installation as ruler, introduced forest laws, improved the working of the same by appointing qualified officers, reclaimed jungle lands by leasing them out on easy terms, executed irrigation works on important streams and rivulets to facilitate agriculture, developed art and industries such as weaving, carpentry, works in fine arts, filigree, horn and ivory. The construction of the elegant stone temple, Kunjakantha, with marble pavements, dedicated to Lord Sri Krishna was initiated by him. Combined with the English High School, the hostel and the Circuit house, which were all constructed by him, present a picturesque sight and afford a panorama of enchanting views from the Dhenkanal Palace. Rajarshi Sura Pratap also attended the Coronation Durbar at Delhi in 1911.
Raja Shankar Pratap, educated at the Rajkumar College Raipur, strengthened the education system of Dhenkanal by opening schools, he augmented irrigation facilities, introduced electricity and facilitated the use of modern techniques in agriculture, medicine and animal husbandry. The seventeenth ruler since the foundation of the State, he was the first ruler in Orissa to merge with newly formed India in 1948.
Raja Shankar Pratap was elected to Rajya Sabha, in 1962 from Orissa. He passed away in August 1965 and the Government of India recognized his son Raja Kamakhya Prasad Singh Deo as the Raja of Dhenkanal.
Brig. Raja Kamakhya Prasad Singh Deo has been elected seven times to the Parliament of India. A retired Brigadier of the Territorial Army, he is the only Member of Parliament in the history of Independent India to have actively taken part in a war, the Liberation of Bangladesh. Raja Kamakhya Prasad has served as Union Minister under three Prime Ministers of India and is a keen sportsman. He is the Founder Life President of the Asian Rowing Federation and is the present Raja of Dhenkanal. He holds residence at Dhenkanal Palace, the home of his ancestors.

Lincoln woman paints quilts
By Kaitlin Karins, NewsNetNebraska
"It has always been meditative for me to sit and sew."
Chris Taylor first began quilting after her youngest son Max was diagnosed at the age of four with retinoblastoma or as it is more commonly known, cancer of the eye.
"My husband Rick got me a sewing machine because I wasn't able to sleep at night and he thought that I needed a hobby."
Eighteen years later and both Max and that same machine are still thriving. Shortly after first receiving her sewing machine in 1994, Taylor began taking lessons on how to use it in a local fabric store and from there began garment sewing. She quickly realized, that with four boys growing boys it was more expensive to make clothing than it was to buy it at stores.
Another woman, Jan, who Taylor met in classes at the fabric store, suggested that she try quilting and brought her to a lesson run by the quilters guild.
"I went to two meetings with the founding mothers of the guild, and they were so nice and so helpful that when they asked me to join I knew this was something I could do."
Through the guild, Taylor began to attend workshops and lessons to help her to build her skills and soon went from making simple patch-work blankets for her boys to creating one-of-a kind quilts.
Some of her favorite techniques begin with hand painting her fabrics. From there she lets the art guide her and describes quilting with her machine as a very similar process to painting.
"When painting your canvas is still and all you have to do is move the brushes, yet with my machine it's the opposite. My needle is the canvas and I move my fabric like the brush."
Taylor attends local competitions and, when it was still in Lincoln, the Nebraska State Fair, and has even had quilts hung in the International Quilt Study Center and Museum.
Taylor prefers to quilt for herself and does not usually sell her pieces, although she says there are a few of them around. She does donate many smaller projects, such as baby blankets made of left-over fabrics, to hospitals or other organizations that help people. Taylor believes that sewing and quilting helped her through a hard time in her life and likes to believe that by doing something as simple as donating a baby blanket, her quilting can help others too.

While most drivers in the San Francisco Bay Area are insured, the unfortunate reality is that the insurance companies have the strongest business and financial incentive to pay an injured cyclist as little as possible, or nothing at all, IF the injured cyclist is NOT represented by an attorney. This negative incentive manifests in many ways and at various stages of the insurance claim process. In some cases an insurance company may start out by being very reasonable and by accepting liability and agreeing to pay the cyclist's medical bills. Later, the very same insurer may state that some of the bills were unreasonable or unnecessary. The insurer will often later state that the cyclist should not receive any "pain and suffering" compensation, even though the cyclist may have had to suffer from a temporary, or even permanent, disability as a result of the collision.
The insurer may also state that it was later determined that the cyclist was in fact partially to blame for the accident, and that therefore the costs of medical treatment and lost wages should be paid for equally by the cyclist and the driver's insurance company. The insurer will then only be willing to offer the cyclist 50% of what the cyclist is actually entitled to receive.
Fortunately, the skilled and experienced bicycle-accident attorneys at Bay Area Bicycle Law can prevent the insurance company from making these dishonest arguments.
Please be aware that these case results do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter. Every case is different and case values turn on small facts and differences. Thus, the results achieved on one case do not necessarily mean the attorney will achieve the same result, or a similar result, even for a case which may have some similarities.

The SIOP YI-NET Blog is a platform where young investigators worldwide can interact and share
experiences and ideas with one another. Discussion topics focus on issues regarding conducting
research or clinical work in pediatric oncology as well as work-life balance and other practical issues that
are commonly experiences among young investigators.
Please meet the young investigators of SIOP who are facilitating the Blog!
Heather Danysh
I am an Epidemiologist in the Texas Children's Cancer Center and an Instructor in the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, USA. My research interests are focused on the environmental determinants of pediatric cancer. I am also working with investigators throughout the state of Texas to evaluate late effects in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. Finally, I work closely with other investigators in the Epidemiology Program in the Texas Children's Cancer Center to design and manage several large-scale epidemiologic investigations. The overall goal of my research is to better understand factors associated with pediatric cancer risk and outcomes to inform novel prevention efforts.
Reineke Schoot
In 2014, I was one of the SIOP young investigator awardees and together with the other awardees, got the opportunity to start the young investigators committee SIOP YI-NET. A year later, in September 2015, I completed my PhD thesis. This thesis involved two different (clinical) research areas: supportive care and late effects. Together with Marianne van de Wetering, I conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing 70% ethanol locks with heparin in pediatric oncology patients with tunneled central venous catheters and found that ethanol locks can reduce the number of catheter related infections. In this same cohort we also evaluated the prevalence of symptomatic and asymptomatic thrombosis. The second half of my thesis involved studies in head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma survivors. We compared adverse events between two survivor groups with different local treatment approaches in a multi-disciplinary outpatient clinic. To analyze the effect of local treatment on facial growth we took 3D images and studied facial asymmetry. Currently, I am a pediatrician in training and still involved in several research projects. After I finish my training as a pediatrician, I hope to do a fellowship in pediatric oncology.
René Marke
Hi everyone, my name is Rene Marke. Originally from Germany, I have lived in the Netherlands for almost 10 years to pursue my BSc in Medical Biology and an MSc in Molecular Mechanisms of Diseases. After one year of conducting research in Toronto, Canada, at the University Health Network in 2013, I went back to the Netherlands to start my PhD in molecular cancer research. Currently, I am finishing my PhD training in my 4th year focusing on the molecular basis of chemotherapy resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the Radboudumc Nijmegen. I was awarded the Young Investigator Award during the SIOP conference in 2014 and I am actively involved in setting up the YI-Network since then, first as active member and since 2015 as SIOP-YI board member.
Anna Font Gonzalez
My name is Anna Font-Gonzalez and I am originally from Spain but moved to the Netherlands to pursue my MSc and now my PhD. As a 3rd year PhD student, I have enjoyed the experience and the challenge of the PhD journey, and I like sharing all of this with fellow young researchers within pediatric oncology!
Liliana Vasquez
Hello, my name is Liliana Vasquez. I work as a pediatric oncologist in the Pediatric Oncology Unit of Rebagliati Hospital in Lima, Peru. I have received training in epidemiology and clinical research and recently started a master program. I would like to share experiences as a young investigator from a low/middle-income country and exchange ideas with peers from all over the world. See you in our SIOP YI-NET Blog!
Jess Morgan
I finished medical school in Dundee, Scotland, in 2008 and then worked as a doctor in the NHS for 5 years. I then took a three year fellowship to do my PhD from 2013-2016. My PhD used mixed methods, including quantitative systematic reviewing, meta-ethnography and focus groups discussions, to look at reduced therapies for children with low risk febrile neutropenia. Now, I'm an Academic Clinical Lecturer, meaning I spend 50% of my time in clinical practice, currently as a general paediatric registrar (ST4 for the Brits), but aiming to do paediatric oncology in the future, and 50% in research within the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination in York. My research interests are in supportive care of paediatric haematology and oncology patients. My next project will be looking at the use of blood cultures in paediatrics, with a particular focus on paediatric haematology and oncology. I do a lot of teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and am involved in a twinning project between Leeds paediatric oncology team and a health board in Cameroon, supported by World Child Cancer. Outside of work, I love to read, garden and knit (I'm an old lady in a young body!) and am actively involved in my church.
Gemma Bryan
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Louis Dundas Centre for Children's Palliative Care at the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health. I completed my PhD, which was funded by the Medical Research Council, at the University of Manchester in 2010. My thesis was on interventions for the prevention of oral health in patients undergoing cancer therapy. During my time in Manchester, I become involved in the Cochrane Oral health group, and now have a number of Cochrane reviews in dentistry. Since completing my PhD, I have worked on a number of studies looking at communication with families of children with cancer. I am currently working on a longitudinal participant observation study looking at decision making in children with high risk brain tumours, which is funded by the Health Foundation. I joined the SIOP YI committee in 2016 and am a member of the blog working group.
Victoria Forster
I am a postdoctoral fellow at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. I joined the SIOP YI committee in 2016 and am a part of the blog and social media working groups. I'm currently preparing my first article for the blog about how young investigators use social media and how to get started for anyone who wants to begin. My research interests are fairly broad! My current position is looking at a rare cancer predisposition syndrome, whereby children develop numerous cancers in childhood, but I also have ongoing projects looking at the long-term neurological side effects of childhood leukaemia treatment. I'm also interested in how parents and caregivers of children with cancer use social media to connect with each other throughout their experience.
David Steffin
I am currently a post-doctoral clinical fellow in pediatric hematology/oncology at Texas Children's Hospital, affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, USA. I completed my medical training at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel, and my pediatric residency at Maimonides Infants and Children's Hospital of Brooklyn in New York City. My clinical interests are in stem cell transplant, neuro-oncology, and cellular therapies. My current research is in the field of targeted therapies, specifically optimizing CAR T cells in the treatment of high grade gliomas.
Austin Brown
I am an Instructor in the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and a faculty member of the Epidemiology Program in the Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Centers. My training includes a PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Texas and a post-doctoral fellowship in Molecular Epidemiology with Baylor College of Medicine's NCI-funded R25 Training Program in Pediatric Cancer Epidemiology and Control. As an independent investigator, the goal of my research is to apply novel epidemiologic methods and population-based molecular approaches in an effort to characterize the adverse outcomes of cancer treatment. Primarily, I am interested in how cancer treatments interact with host genetic factors to contribute to long-term complications among pediatric cancer patients. Eventually, I anticipate this work will provide new insight into the molecular architecture underlying the susceptibility to treatment-related toxicity, presenting new opportunities to identify and stratify high risk patients.
Fernando Carceller
I trained as a paediatrician in Spain and subsequently specialized in paediatric oncology. I am currently working at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, UK. My main research interests include CNS tumours, neuroblastoma, functional imaging and drug development.
Jonathan Fisher
I'm a London based paediatrician but I'm delaying my clinical training to pursue my research interest in immunotherapy of solid and haematological malignancies. I use synthetic biology to generate T-cells that can specifically target cancer cells without bystander toxicity. At present I am in the first year of a Wellcome Trust Clinical Postdoctoral Fellowship, based at the UCL Institute of Child Health. I also run a consultancy business, engaging with companies who wish to develop electronic health record systems for use in paediatric oncology.
Carmen Soto
My name is Carmen and I describe myself as a Paediacademiatrician – half academic and half paediatrician. Both parts of my work are equally important to me – and equally fascinating. My research looks at how children and families interact with health services. I'm especially interested in how children, families and professionals work together to make decisions about their care, and the different factors that influences the decisions they make. I've just submitted my PhD thesis which looked at how the risk of infection is managed in children with invasive devices (such as central lines) when they live at home. The decisions that families and professionals make about how to balance risk are very different, and finding common ground can be challenging. Exploring how that partnership works, even when partners disagree about what's best for that child, is complex. But it's important to understand so that families get the best support possible. I use qualitative research methods to try and understand how and why people make the decisions they do. Understanding more about the difficulties that families face, and the expertise that families develop in caring for their child has made me question my own clinical practice. Hopefully, it's making me a better doctor too!
Marinka Hol
My name is Marinka Hol, during medical school I developed an interest in Head and Neck surgery. After spending 6 months in Indonesia performing cleft surgery with a charity team I started my PhD project at the Head and Neck surgery/maxillofacial surgery department at the Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 2015. My research focusses on the adverse early and late effects following the treatment for head and neck sarcoma in the paediatric population. At this point there are several treatment options for head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma which all have a similar survival rate, however the late effects i.e., growth deformation, speech impairment, dental development, eye disorders and endocrine functions might be very different for the different treatment modalities. Therefore we hope to develop a prediction model concerning these late effects in order to advise the optimal treatment for each specific patient based on tumour and patient characteristics.
Katrina O'Halloran
I grew up in Vancouver, Canada and was first introduced to the field of pediatric oncology through a research project at the Child and Family Research Institute at the British Columbia Children's Hospital. In 2009 I moved to Dublin, Ireland a second home for me where I have many relatives and I attended medical school at the University College Dublin. I am currently a pediatric resident at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and am applying for pediatric hematology/oncology fellowship. I have a particular interest in neuro-oncology, a field where there is so much more to be done. I recently attended the SIOP Congress in Dublin and was very fortunate to participate in the Educational Day for Young Investigators. What a fantastic experience! I found the day exceptionally helpful and left feeling inspired and invigorated by the international network of young investigators in pediatric oncology. I am now a SIOP Young Investigator member and am on the Mentorship and Social Media committees. Welcome to our network!
Jack Brzezinski
I am a paediatric oncologist in Toronto, Canada now doing postdoctoral research training while continuing a clinical practice. My clinical interest is in solid tumours – renal tumours in particular. My research interest is in molecular genetics. I've combined those two interests by utilizing arrays and next generation sequencing to better understand the molecular biology of Wilms Tumours. I was a SIOP YI Awardee in 2016 and have been a part of the YI committee since then.
Claudia Pasqualini
I have been working at Gustave Roussy in the Children and Adolescent Oncology Unit since 2012. My main focus of interest are neuroblastoma and immunology. I have been working at the writing of the next HR-NBL2 protocol within the SIOPEN and at the understanding of the mechanism of action of anti-GD2 antibodies for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma. The other main subject of my research is the characterization of the tumor microenvironment at diagnosis and at relapse for children with high-risk tumors.

SICKNESS AND RELATED LEAVE: We will no longer accept a doctor statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
SURGERY: Operations are now banned. As long as you are an employee here, you need all your organs. You should not consider removing anything. We hired you intact. To have something removed constitutes a breach of employment.
BEREAVEMENT LEAVE: This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, Relatives or coworkers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases, where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early, provided your share of the work is done enough.
YOUR OWN DEATH: This will be accepted as an excuse. However, we require at least two weeks notice as it is your duty to train your own replacement.
RESTROOM USE: Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. In the future, we will follow the practice of going in alphabetical order. For instance, all employees whose names begin with 'A' will go from 8:00 to 8:10, employees whose names begin with 'B' will go from 8:10 to 8:20 and so on. If you're unable to go at your allotted time, it will be necessary to wait until the next day when your turn comes again. In extreme emergencies employees may swap their time with a coworker. But employees'supervisors in writing must approve this exchange. In addition, there is now a strict 3-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, and the stall door will open.
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternations, or input should be directed elsewhere.
Have a nice week.

Today a beautiful boat will sail, taking with it hopes and dreams. This should not be so, but,
Today a beautiful boat will sail, leaving behind, I hope, some peace of mind.
Today we will blow bubbles to the sky for Matilda Mae.
Today we will light a candle and whisper 'Happy Birthday little star'.
Today we will wear purple and pink; eat star biscuits; say a prayer.
Today we will remember an infectious smile and chocolate eyes.
Today we will pay tribute to a beautiful daughter and sister.
Today we will get messy, pink and purple and full of stars.
Today, in our virtual world, we will provide a shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold. We will wipe our tears and we will stand strong, we will stand together.
Tomorrow is unknown, a blank canvas to be filled.
Tomorrow we will play, messily!
Tomorrow we will stay, we will listen, we will support, we will care, we will remember.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow.

All the rice-burning fun you'll ever need, without hearing Limb Bizkit's Rollin' until your ears bleed. That rhymed and you know it did.
Yes, indeed it is possible for a racing game to be fun!? Personally, I've never been a big fan of the racing genre, the only racing games I've played and enjoyed were the Mario Kart and San Francisco Rush series. And while Need For Speed: Underground has no weapons, powerups, wings, crazy shortcuts, or midget wrestling cut scenes, it's still a deeply involving and fun game. With 20 cars to choose from and a nearly limitless amount of ways to customize them, Need For Speed: Underground provides a fairly unique racing experience.
NFSU, while being highly customizable and fun on its own just to go from point A to point B, includes a number of other modes of play to keep the game from getting boring quickly. Lap races, knock-out races, sprints, tournaments, drag races, and drift races all make up 'The Underground' in which you must complete each level to earn upgrades and progress further into the game. This makes the game a lot more involved then just entering tournament after tournament. You have to make money and upgrade your car to compete with the faster cars that await you in the levels above. Things like new engines, tires, drive trains,nitrous tanks, and magic spoilers that make you go faster somehow! At least so I've been lead to believe.
On each level you are allowed to choose your difficulty setting. Easy, Normal or Hard to determine not only how hard the race is (derp) but also how much money you'll make for completing it. This not only gives you an incentive to race harder modes, but also makes the game more interesting if you decide to start again from the beginning.
The music seems to be a big part in the overall feel of NFSU. While the music is the expected popular songs by today's rap and rap-metal artists, most of it doesn't get on your nerves. The music played depends on what you're doing within the game. Through all menus and customization areas, various rap songs are played while crazy people make crazy noises with their crazy mouths. While racing, however, generic rockish music is played to better suit the face paced action. As long as Limb Bizkit's 'Rollin' and Saliva's 'Click, Click, Boom' were absent though, I didn't care what they played.? While none of it is particularly good, there is one song that annoys me to no end while playing this game. A "song" by Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boys that's played every time you start the game. This track consists of someone (Lil' Jon?) repeating "Get lowww." over and over again while people (Eastside Boys?) in the background go "vroom vroom!", "eyaaa!", "zah zah zah", or other strange noises that make my brain go not good no more. I nearly turned off the game and never played it again because of intense annoyance from this song.
While NFSU sets itself from other racers with modes of play and customization alone, the graphics are nothing to scuff about either. And I scuff about stuff all the time. Why, just today my friend came up to me and said, "Murph, you scuff far more often than I'd like to see." I replied, "I only scuff because without scuff, there would be chaos." Then ensued the adventure of a lifetime! And oranges. Big ones.
Oranges aside, NFSU's graphics are not only the best I've seen in a racer, but possibly the best I've seen in just about any car based go fast game. Namely the lighting and speed effects, which make the game seem to come out of the screen at you. But do not be afraid, for they are friendly effects, programmed by man only to please and never harm the human race. Until Y3K when I predict that lighting effects will become so advanced that they will rise to rule us all.
My biggest scuff with NFSU is that while I understand most street races use imports, I would like to see some?more domestic vehicles. The occasional muscle car would be fun in a way that would make me go whee! The controls are tight and very responsive, easy for anyone to just pick up and play. But, to master modes like Drift and Drag, it'll take a LOT of practice. All in all, NFSU provides a unique experience that has more than just mindless tournaments. Even if you're not a fan of racing games, I would give this game a try and a half. Just try to endure the Eastside Boys. Lil' Jon, why must you be so Lil' Jon?
|Fun, with so many modes of play that all work very well.
|Incredible lighting effects and models.
|Generic, sometimes annoying, but not TOO annoying.
|Replay Value
|TONS of stuff to unlock and customize, as well as online play.
|Racers have always been around, but not with this much depth.
|Easy to get used to but difficult to master.
|Final Verdict: 4.33

Annual town meeting sums up a year of Kent events
KENT — The centuries-old tradition of the annual town meeting was continued on Thursday, Jan. 18, when a modest crowd gathered at Kent Town Hall.
The agenda was straightforward, and the meeting lasted about 25 minutes.
In a routine annual authorization, voters were asked to give the Board of Selectmen and the treasurer permission to borrow from time to time and upon the credit of the town funds for the needs of the town. All in attendance unanimously approved.

The avant-garde legend helped rewrite the language of rock music, and reinvents his own history. He performs Thursday at the Rialto Theatre as part of the POP Montreal festival.
POP Montreal: John Cale creates music for another new society
John Cale chuckled down the phone line as he recalled one of his great acts of iconoclasm.
"A lot of times when I was touring in Europe, I put up no-smoking signs. That drove the promoters crazy."
Well, not every rebellion can count toward updating the language of popular music — a mission Cale has fulfilled as a steadfast but approachable avant-gardist with an ear for both intense beauty and searing agony.
Cale will forever be known as the radical foil to Lou Reed in the Velvet Underground, where his serrated viola and Richter-scale drones sliced through Reed's unshakable cool. But his towering achievements in that group over the course of a few volatile years in the 1960s have unfairly dwarfed a solo career that has remained an adventure at every turn.
From a sequence of 1970s releases in which raging paranoia collided with dark pop, to harrowing minimalism (Music for a New Society), scholarly poetics (Words for the Dying) and a latter-day fascination with warped electronica, nearly every Cale album has been accompanied by disregard for what listeners might expect. That is, those few listeners who didn't abandon expectations decades ago.
The need to approach Cale on his own terms extends to the concert hall, starting with his tour itinerary. Which is to say, there isn't much of one: he says Thursday's one-off POP Montreal show will be the first nod to North America in his sporadic live activity this year. (Further making the case for POP as one of the city's most thoughtful musical curators, it will also be his first local concert in 11 years.)
Then there's the repertoire drawn on by his band (featuring bass, guitar, drums "and a lot of electronics"); Cale suggests songs will be new even when they're old. Considering he has trained his fans to stay alert, it says something about his continued ingenuity when he adds that the improv-heavy shows with this three- or four-year-old lineup left early audiences perplexed.
"I may do some material that's familiar to everybody, but you may not hear it familiarly. You may say, 'Oh, that's what that song is.' I like reworking the arrangements, and I do that a lot. It took a while for me to get the audiences on the same page … to know that what you're going to get is a little bit different from just the standard concert, doing the same set list."
The onstage deconstruction of his catalogue was mirrored by Cale's most recent album, M:FANS. The disquieting character studies from his 1982 masterpiece Music for a New Society, originally conveyed with spartan arrangements haunted by background ghosts, were reinterpreted in irreverent electro-heavy settings that dispel much of the chill.
The original album was due for a re-release, Cale said (the same could apply to many tragically hard-to-find items in his catalogue), and he was approached to do a live performance of the complete work. "We had a string quartet and backup singers, and I was glad I did it, because I realized I didn't want to do the album that way anymore. I wanted to do it as something a little more energetic, building on the strengths of what was there in the original but not wallowing in self-imposed disgust."
Considering the intense creation of Music for a New Society, the desperate anxiety of the songs' characters may have mirrored Cale's mindset in 1982. "The rules of the album were: it doesn't count unless the tapes are running, you don't do anything the same way twice, and you write new songs every time you turn the machine on.
"I wanted it to have an immediacy. The album after that, Caribbean Sunset, had Experiment Number 1 on it, where I'm shouting out the changes for the band … and if that song is the only example of immediacy that you have on the album, you've got to do better. So the thing was, you really don't know where you're going with a song, and that worked itself out through the characters."
Understandably for someone given to reinvention, and for someone whose most revered music has been analyzed for a half-century, Cale has often seemed disinterested in discussing his distant past. But he has brought it up in his own way — for instance, in a video for the M:FANS track If You Were Still Around released as a tribute to Reed in 2014, upon the one-year anniversary of his death. The former collaborators shared a notoriously fractious history; a cautious question about whether they had been in communication at the end of Reed's life was met with a previously recounted but telling anecdote, alluding to a long-distance respect and a groundbreaking partnership that was rooted in dissident art.
"I found a photograph of Stravinsky; it was said to be an arrest photograph from the Boston police department. You remember that Stravinsky did an arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner? He was accused of being a traitor. … Lou was in bed in the hospital, so I sent him that photograph and I said, 'You think you've got problems?' He burst out laughing."
John Cale performs Thursday, Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. at the Rialto Theatre, 5723 Parc Ave., with Helena Deland, as part of the POP Montreal festival. Tickets cost $40 to $65 via ticketpro.ca or popmontreal.com. Cale also speaks Friday, Sept. 23 at 5 p.m. at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts' Maxwell Cummings Auditorium, 1379 Sherbrooke St. W., as part of the POP Symposium program; tickets cost $15 via mbam.qc.ca or popmontreal.com.

Rajyoga, or Raja yoga, is a classical yoga that means "kingly." It is quite different from many modern forms of yoga as it is purely centered around meditation. In other words, you won't find any calorie burning, hot-yoga sessions at a rajyoga studio.
Following is an in-depth look at Rajyoga – what its aims are, where it places emphasis, etc. – and its eight-fold path of meditation. If you're completely new to yoga and meditation, begin practicing conscious meditation and quickly progress from novice to guru with this acclaimed beginner's guide to mindful meditation.
An Introduction To Rajyoga
Rajyoga, like virtually all forms of meditation-based yoga, is founded on the idea of the soul being a point of light. This central point of light is the fulcrum around which the mind and body operate and is the key to finding balance. However, Rajyoga does not attempt to wipe the mind clean; instead, it seeks to bring peace and meaning by using a person's bodily experiences to interact with deeper, more significant ideas. The mind is not wiped clean; it is focused.
You cannot enter Rajyoga with a sedentary mind. Finding balance requires calm and peacefulness, but also a great deal of energy. Someone attempting to meditate needs to be quite conscious of how energy is moving through their mind and body. This becomes easier said than done when one is also supposed to disband the stress and anger that lurks in our subconscious. The ultimate goal of a Rajyoga session is to walk away from it with a somewhat surprising, peaceful and even enjoyable inner being.
Get great, free advice on meditation poses (which will be essential, after all, for learning Rajyoga meditation) from this post on balanced and powerful meditation poses.
Philosophy For Meditation
In order to get the most out of your meditation sessions, there are a few things that will help you achieve Rajyoga meditation (as opposed to some vague wanderings of the mind). There are, as already mentioned, two halves to the Rajyoga balance: the self and the mind. The mind is a powerful tool, capable of incredible feats, but it is also easy for it to become separated from who we are, to go off on its own and lose sight of more grounded concepts.
One of the first things I said about Rajyoga meditation was that it is based on the idea of the soul being a point of light and that this is the key to finding balance. The self and the mind are part of the soul, which has one other part to complete its three-pronged design (according to Rajyoga): the subconscious. The subconscious, together with the mind (consciousness) and the self (body, intellect), form the three chief entities of our souls.
There is a very specific flow of energy between the three parts of the soul. It is believed that thoughts originate in our subconscious and then float to the surface, as it were, of our consciousness. Because our subconscious is so vast (our entire history, pretty much), it can unexpectedly bring things to the surface of our mind that may hinder or disrupt meditation. This is why it is so vital to be able to control the flow of energy and the direction of our consciousness.
If you don't have a lot of time to spare or just want to pick up some lighter practice for Rajyoga mediation, consider this top-rated course on Quick Meditation for less stress and better focus.
Yes, Rajyoga is good for your mental and physical health, but you will have a much easier time meditating if you are already a relatively healthy person in both respects. Don't let this dissuade you if you are not in peak fitness. I only want to stress the surprising amount of physical strength meditation requires. As you will see below, one of the principal techniques for achieving Rajyoga is holding a pose. This is easier said than done, especially for long periods of time. Similarly, a strong, healthy, stable mind will more easily enter meditation than a weak or troubled mind. But if you have the power and drive, Rajyoga can be an invaluable tool in centering or "truing" the wheel of your mind.
The Eight Limbs (Eight-Fold Path) Of Rajyoga
It's important to note that the philosophy of meditation above is not what you actually achieve or want to achieve through meditation. The philosophy is more of the mindset and process with which you might enter into Rajyoga, but the eight limbs of Rajyoga is what you want to achieve. I know it seems like a lot to hold together, but this is why Rajyoga is also referred to as the Yoga of the Mind. Yes, it takes a high degree of concentration and mental energy, but this is something that becomes less burdensome and more enlightening with every practice. You will learn to control many parts of your mind and through this kind of "exercise," learn to focus. The mind must be turned inward, into the body and into the soul, and this is when it becomes the king of the person (thus, it is the "kingly" yoga).
1. Yamas
Yamas represent the oaths of Rajyoga. It is composed of five main ideas: Satya (truth), (Ahimsa (nonviolence), Asetya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (chastity) and Apragraha (non-greed). As you can see, there are virtues in a worldly sense. They are things that one should be able to practice – and should practice – in society. Practicing these virtues allows one to better and more honestly practice Rajyoga.
This might also be a good time to strengthen and calibrate your body and mind. Consider combining yoga philosophies with this Flow Vinyasa yoga class.
2. Niyamas
Whereas yamas are the oaths and abstentions of Rajyoga, niyamas are the more inward or moral observations. This is more of a commitment to the divine than to fellow man. As you can see, between practicing yamas and niyamas, the self and the mind are strengthened. There are five main ideas associated with niyamas, as well: Susha (purity), Santosha (contentment), Tapas (discipline), Svadhaya (divine study) and Ishvara Pranidhana (yielding to God).
3. Asana
The remaining limbs are concerned with things such as posture (asana) and other more definite techniques than can help you achieve Rajyoga meditation. This should come as a relief after the admittedly lengthy descriptions of Yamas and Niyamas. So the idea behind asana is to achieve and hold a steady posture. In lengthier terms, this is meant to connect the mind and body through concentration.
4. Pranayama
This is the mediation (not meditation) of controlled breathing. Through controlled breathing, one is trying to achieve a steady flow of energy. Again, this will help connect the mind and the body.
5. Pratyahara
Turning the senses inward is the philosophy of pratyahara. In other words, you should try to use your senses to help steer your mind as well as your body.
6. Dharana
Dharana is cncentration and focusing of the mind. In other words, do not let your mind wander: focus on where you need to go and what you need to do to achieve Rajyoga and hold your mind to its task.
7. Dhyana
Now we are approaching the end. Dharana leads to dhyana, or meditation, which is when you enter meditation and are lead to a different, deeper part of your mind and being.
8. Samadhi
Lastly, we get to samadhi, or nlightenment. This is, obviously, the "end" and ultimate goal of Rajyoga.
You Have Everything You Need
It's true: you have everything you need to practice Rajyoga. It is a personal journey, but it can, like many other forms of yoga, be guided (at least initially) by some professional and experienced help, so don't feel like you have to be a Rajyoga loner. The most important thing is to become comfortable meditating, which you can learn in a straightforward and unencumbered way with this great beginner's class on meditation.

Artist Statement w/ Subtitles
via, @cmonstah
There Are 16 Comments On This Article.
Damn you APE…where was this when I was bucking the "statement" trend and making my photography prof suffer countless sleepless nights in fits of rage with my reasons to WHY I didn't want to do an artist's statement?
"I am currently desperate for paid work and will do pretty much anything for cash" :-)
and where is Peckham ???
Pekham? London – but not The London rather just London…
Oh my. Poor thing needs an antidepressant.
Looks like a hostage video. And she's a hostage of the art education system. I hope she manages to break free (at least they don't have much student debt there).
Damn I look forward to all your posts! Informative, humorous and ridiculous…love them all! You just keep gettng better.
You should have read all the emails between me and my SCAD prof on this very subject. He wanted "War and Peace"…and I just wanted a one-sentence statement.
She is very funny.
Thanks for the good laughs. I can feel her frustration through humor.
So she'll do anything for money… she should get on very well in Peckham, there are a lot of 'freelance practitioners' in the area, or so I'm lead to believe.
Performance artist, does that include pavement artist (bit like Dick Van Dyke- Mary Poppins). Exploring new territories, hmmm back to 'freelance practitioners' again.
Is the video a cry for help? Have social services just frozen her dole money because she refused to take a job stacking shelves in Asda (Wal-mart), as she believes she has a higher calling.
Absolutely brilliant! And oh so true…
Would love to see the same sort of video analysis applied to corporate "Mission Statements," which are basically the suit 'n' tie world's version of an artist's statement. Same ol' crap, with just a different wrapping around it.
…and then?
Her wit is adorable.
For New Yorkers, Peckham is London's version of Brooklyn's East Bushwick, a dangerous neighborhood where ambitious young artists without money move to because they were long ago priced out of Williamsburg.
What is that infantile profane and intellectually insufficent pornograffy…D:-The Sorrows of Young Werther…";-))"?

Lift linked to Illustrious neighbour Val d'Isère to make up the Espace Killy, the Tignes ski area is, needless to say, vast and varied. The 300km of marked pistes cater for all levels and tastes with great off-piste, long wide blues and two snowparks (with another, even better one, over in Val d'Isère). Tignes also has the Grande Motte glacier providing year-round skiing. The glacier and Tignes' high altitude, make this resort for a great early or late season ski holiday destination. The whole area is serviced very well by an efficient lift system and the five 'satellites' that make up the resort are all linked by free bus.
Due to its 1960s heritage, Tignes is not exactly famous for its Alpine charm. However, off-snow activities have improved somewhat over the last few years. There are a nice range of decent restaurants and bars whilst there are supermarkets for the largely self-catering crowd. Nightlife and après ski is pretty healthy and families are greatly welcomed with good childcare run by the ski schools. Overall, Tignes is not a place that relies upon Alpine ambience. But hey, who cares when the days are filled with such great skiing.
Number of ski lifts: 79 ; 2 funiculars, 4 cable cars ; 5 gondola lifts, 18 chairlifts, 25 detachable chairlifts
Number of runs: 155 with 26 black slopes (7 in Tignes), 39 red (19 in Tignes), 68 blue (36 (Tignes) and 22 green (7 in Tignes)

Two weeks is a long time to go without doing what it is you enjoy. But alas, duty comes first, and my familial and professional duties required my full attention these last many days. That being said, assignments have been evaluated and handed back, mid-term marks have been entered, and colds and flus which have plagued the home-front seem to have subsided.
Our journey along Star Wars chronology can start once more. We will pick up from where we left off last: Knights of the Old Republic volume 2: Flashpoint.
I enjoyed this text, though not as much as the first one. Even though Flashpoint contained my favorite aspect of Star Wars (that being Mandalorians) it still seemed pale in comparison to volume one. I'm not quite sure why I feel this way. I guess the climactic ending of volume one, coupled with its commentary on fate and destiny, raised my hopes that such a thing might occur in the second volume. Such a thing never did occur, but volume two was still an enjoyable romp none-the-less.
Our story picks up with Zayne Carrick and gang still on the run from the Jedi order. In an attempt to flee to the one place they think the Jedi would look last, they head to the front lines of the Republic/Mandalorian war. Their idea is not completely insane, as they pick a small outpost on the Republic side of the conflict; an outpost they believe the Mandalorians would have no reason to attack.
They chose unwisely of course.
Just as they began to settle themselves, the entire Mandalorian force appeared on their doorstep. Jarael, one of Zayne's companions was amusing herself with his lightsaber as the Mandalorians descended. Mistaking her for a Jedi, the warriors quickly swarmed and kidnapped her. Zayne and his companions attempt a rescue, but to no avail. Jarael is captured, and brought to Demagol, a Mandalorian scientist who is dissecting Jedi in an attempt to learn how they harness their power from Force.
As they scramble together a rescue party, the group meets Rohlan, a veteran Mandalorian who is willing to help them rescue their friend. He brings them to the planet Jarael is being held on, and using his status as a Mandalorian helps the group infiltrate the base.
It is explained that Rohlan, who we would presume has no reason to help the group, is doing so because he's questioning the motives of Mandalore: the head Mandalorian warrior. He wants to know why the Mandalorian army is pushing so aggressively into Republic space. He feels something is not being told to the rank and file of the Mandalorian army, and he himself wants some answers.
The group heads to Flashpoint, where Jarael is being held, and through ingenuity and subterfuge, manage to rescue her, along with other Jedi being held prisoner there. The group escapes with their friend safely on board their ship.
A secondary storyline weaving its way through the plot is the story of Lucien Dray, and how he and the other four Jedi Masters came together. It seems that Dray's mother put together this coven of Master's long ago when they were just Jedi learners. She felt it was her mission to stop the next Sith threat coming, and did so by compiling a group of students who were the most talented in their precognitive abilities. They were specifically trained to look into the future, and discover where the next Sith threat would originate.
Lucien Dray never had the same abilities as these other four Jedi, but was included in the group by the fact that his mother was training them. Also, he was the fiercest warrior among them, being able to best all four of them in lightsaber combat. This story line ends with Lucien Dray asking the council if he and the other four Master's may pursue Zayne Carrick. The council, however, denies his request, and instead separates the five sending them all too different parts of the galaxy to undertake different missions.
The Master's hands are not all played out though, as they conspire amongst themselves on how to capture Zayne Carrick. Leaving no avenue unexplored, they decide to put pressure on the Carrick family, a move Zayne Carrick feels is "beyond the pale". A "low-blow" as it were.
It's at this point the lines of Zayne and his group again intersects with the schemes of the Jedi Masters.
Heading to a banking world in an attempt to free some funds that have been frozen, Marn Heiroglyph concocts a plan to free up some money for the group so that they can stay on the run. The banker they are scheduled to meet is none other than Zayne Carrick's father. It seems that the Dray foundation wanted to keep an eye on members of the Carrick family, knowing that at some point, Zayne might want to go to them for help. The Force is again at work in the life of Zayne Carrick, as he had no idea his father had been transferred to this world to work in a cushy banking job. Unfortunately for Arvan Carrick, he was kidnapped by some bumbling bounty hunters who were sent to observe his movements.
Volume two ends with Zayne and his group once again performing a rescue mission and safely escaping with Arvan Carrick. Zayne finds another job for his father and a safe place for his family, this time at the Jedi training facility on Dantooine. Knowing it would be hard for Lucien and the other masters to move against his family right under Master Vandar's nose, he asked the old Master if his father could look after the finances of the Jedi council. Master Vandar agreed, perhaps realizing that Lucien Dray and the other Master's are not what they seem.
My comments with regards to this text are fairly minimal. I really enjoyed seeing the Mandalorians in action. The allure of the Mandalorian armor, in all its original concoctions and individualistic ways of representation; how it can be colored, worn, and decorated, I find is very cool. I like how the Mandalorians are all unique, yet all the same. It was nice to see a Twilek Mandalorian on page 8.
There was one disturbing scene in this particular volume though. On page 24, box 2, there is a picture between Mandalore and his first officer. Mandalore is standing in the deck of his ship, with his very large gun hanging from his belt. Now, I'm not sure if this particular image was drawn like this on purpose, or by accident, but it defiantly looks like Mandalore the Great's gun is depicted as a large phallus. What is more, his very large "gun" is defiantly in the shape of a penis. It's so large, it could be called a third leg. I had to do a double take as I came across this image. I even handed the comic to my wife, and asked her to point out anything on that page that she might deem unusual. She said "Yeah, that guy's gun looks like his penis". She didn't say penis though. I slowly nodded my agreement.
For my next post I'll be moving on to Labor Pains, a Hyperspace exclusive.

Throwback Thursday: Builders at war
We promise to get back to cutting-edge and futuristic construction technology with the next post, but this week, to observe Veterans Day, we're highlighting the vital supporting role that America's builders played in the world wars of the last century.
"Victory seems to favor the side with the greater ability to move dirt." That's how Major General Eugene Reybold, head of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), described the success of his men in the Second World War.
There's more to a war than shooting. Troops need to move great distances across an often uncooperative landscape, and the USACE—composed largely of experienced engineers, contractors, tradesmen, and laborers—have helped move, supply, and protect those troops by building roads, bridges, dams, forts, ports, depots and barracks in the nation's various conflicts since 1775. (That's in addition to the Corps' many valuable peacetime projects.)
"American construction capacity was the one factor of American strength which our enemies consistently underestimated," Reybold continued, in 1944. "They had seen nothing like it."
Actually, the Germans already had a taste of American mettle a generation prior, during the final phase of the First World War. In 1917 and 1918, the engineers built dams and pipelines, opened up quarries, chopped down tons of timber, built bridges, and graded, repaired or built and maintained hundreds of miles of roads and railways across the mortar-pocked fields of France. Their work allowed hundreds of thousands of Yankee "doughboys" to travel by foot, horse, tank and truck the length of the country.
The engineers performed this work around the clock, through rainstorms, sometimes knee-deep in mud or neck-deep in water. Moreover, they often labored under enemy fire. In fact, the first two U.S. Army casualties in Europe were members of the 11th Engineers serving outside Cambrai, France in September 1917. And the Distinguished Service Cross was awarded to four soldiers from the 7th Engineers who helped construct a pontoon bridge across the Meuse River under fire in November 1918. Three of them jumped into the icy water to hold up a deck by hand until replacement floats could be installed, after a German artillery shell destroyed one section of the bridge.
That was just one of 38 bridges the engineers built as part of the Meuse-Argonne offensive, which ended with the Kaiser's surrender. Indeed, building pontoon bridges with lightning speed was a specialty of the engineers during both world wars. For example, as part of the same offensive, the 2nd Engineers built a foot bridge over the Meuse River in under an hour. During the war's bloody sequel, the 22nd Armored Engineer Battalion built a 330-foot-long bridge, capable of supporting a moving line of tanks and trunks, in three hours and two minutes—"about the time it takes to see a double-feature movie show," as Popular Science put it.
It was the kind of feat that could only be pulled off through a massive coordination of manpower and materials and under intense pressure. But how, specifically, did the men do it? Most commonly in WWI, they lashed together one sequence of pontoon boats, topped with wooden decking, between long wooden balks. They rowed this out into position, then followed it with another section, and so on until they reached the opposite shore. If the Army was short on standard steel-plated pontoons, then regular boats, canoes, and even empty wine casks stood in.
During WWII, in many cases a higher class of pontoon bridge was strengthened with longer and sturdier pneumatic pontoons, inflated by motorized air compressors. The construction system was streamlined with a new generation of hydraulic cranes and boom crane trucks, swinging sections of steel treadway out over the water and lowering them onto the pontoons. The sections were bolted together, and the bridge as a whole was stabilized with 200-pound catch anchors. Other bridge types included the portable Bailey bridge, made of lightweight steel. (See video at bottom.) In a pinch, though, the old methods were still employed.
We should also note that during WWII, the Army engineers' efforts in Europe were matched in the Pacific by the Naval Construction Battalions, a.k.a. the Seabees. In both theaters, the builders benefited from advances in bulldozer technology. Check out the two photos below, brought to our attention by the Journal of Light Construction.
In both wars, once the firing stopped, the rebuilding began. The engineers filled in trenches and craters, blew up tank barriers, and tore down machine-gun nests. They charted and destroyed unexploded land mines, dismantled bundles of tree-branch camouflage, and resurfaced the roads that the victories Allies rode en route to Berlin.
As mentioned earlier, the Army engineers have also performed critical tasks in civil engineering during peacetime. The corps is known for designing and constructing dams, canals, flood protections, and wetlands restoration, among other projects Stateside.
So while doffing hats for all our veterans, if you get a chance tomorrow, thank a Seabee or an Army engineer. Often quite literally, they paved the way to a free world.
Click below to see vintage footage of the Army engineers—in training, in the Pacific, and in Europe—as they used old-school power shovels, dozers, and their own ingenuity to build roads, bridges, and airfields, often under enemy fire, during WWII:

NAA Unveils Strategy To Strengthen Postal System
Monday, April 07, 2003
Press release from the issuing companyApril 7, 2003 -- Vienna, Va. – In testimony before the President's Commission on the U.S. Postal Service, the Newspaper Association of America made several recommendations to strengthen America's struggling U.S. Postal Service. At a field hearing in Los Angeles, Gary Pruitt, an NAA Board member and CEO of The McClatchy Co. in Sacramento, Calif., unveiled proposals that would make the postal rate-setting process fair, transparent and less time consuming, while giving the Postal Service greater latitude to cuts costs. "Regrettably, the Postal Service of today has strayed from its public-service mission of providing universal mail delivery at reasonable and non-discriminatory rates," said Pruitt. "Its costs are uncontrolled, it's lost millions on non-postal ventures, its advertising budget is among the highest in the country despite its monopoly status, and it seeks to take sides in competition in private markets. All of this occurs because the Postal Service has very little oversight." During his testimony, Pruitt outlined other key NAA recommendations. Among them: returning the postal service to its core mission of public service; establishing an independent review of USPS decisions to enter new markets; eliminating the content restriction for letter mail providing Americans with various mailing options that are based on quality of service; and granting an independent Postal Rate Commission real authority to increase accountability and reduce pressure on postal rates. These recommendations are based on a report prepared by postal economist J. Gregory Sidak of the American Enterprise Institute that addresses weaknesses in the current postal system. NAA, whose members are among the largest mailers in the United States, has long advocated for the appointment of an independent presidential commission to examine the Postal Service and chart a course for its future. The commission was appointed on Dec. 11, 2002, and is currently holding public hearings across the country. Gary Pruitt's written testimony, as well as the report prepared by J. Gregory Sidak, are available online at www.naa.org

Does anyone else also have problems to access the windows store when connected with global protect vpn?
Actually the problem really only is the windows store app. Everything else works perfectly (internet access, accessing corporate ressources, internal websites, fileshares, ...). The store app only displays that I should check my internet connection and the error code 0x80072EFD.
The firewall has 7.0.6 installed and we have configured the vpn with the default route into the vpn tunnel.
Solved! Go to Solution.
So when you are not using GP windows store work fine?
Did you try "nslookup" from the client with Wireshark PCAP to get more details?
exactly, as soon as I disable GP --> the store app is able to connect
and I did also capture the traffic with vpn enabled and disabled ... on both captures I can see the dns queries related to the windows store app, but with vpn enabled there are ONLY the dns requests but no store-related https connection attemps
How about Palo logs? Do you see the traffic from the client (GP Zone) going outside (untrust) to the Microsoft store IP as destination. Threat logs?
one of the various fqdn's is storeedgefd.dsx.mp.microsoft.com (when I tried it resolved to 22.214.171.124).
on the firewall I have not one packet towards this ip and also nothing in the threatlog (actually if there was traffic I would be surprised because of the fact that I had no packets in the local packet capture)
Sure you said before no attempts from the client, my bad. This is strange. Did you try to do PCAP when connected through the GP on the local interface, not GP adapter? This is strange that you getting DNS but the client making desition not to initiate a connection after.
Yes, I also captured on that interface. For whatever reason I also see the dns requests there going out directly, but still only the dns requests and no https traffic
When did you notice this first time, any os update GP? All Windows 10 clients or just you unable to access? l cannot think of anything else what could be an issue. Don't have much experience with GP
this problem probably existst since we are testing with windows 10 ...

As he explains, everybody knows the beautiful caribbean coast (with famous beach towns like Cartagena, Santa Marta or Barranquilla, hometown of universal Singer Shakira), while the Pacific Coast remains mainly unknown.

She claims that Colombia is the most colorful country in the world, and that's one of the special things about Colombia you can find any single color here, in landscapes, in constructions, in art etc..

He claims that in Colombia they have the influence of so many different cultures (Afro-Colombians, Criollos, Romas, Sephardic Jews, Germanics…), and that you can see their influence in everything, the food, the music and dances, the architecture…
He tells us that people coming to colombia these days, will get a more authentic vision of the country and its people, since they are much more open and willing to share their country.
