The bee themed baby shower is ever beautiful with its honey like appearance that makes the home look rather sweet and inviting. It is the perfect gift for an expectant mother. She is sure to love it as it can help transform the home into a haven ever inviting and beautiful. Is any of your friends expecting a baby soon? What about preparing along with them by buying the bee themed shower for the mother? She is sure to fall in love with it. Some believe that this baby shower should only be bought for the mother while preparing for the first child, but the truth is that it can be purchased for the mother irrespective of if the pregnancy is the first or the fifth.
The bee themed baby shower can include a numb of gift items like toys for the baby, clothes for either mother or child, baby bottles, blankets, diapers and many more items. It is better to buy such varieties while making your purchase as this will give your gift more value. You can as well present cakes to the mother made in this form. In most instances, such cakes are made in tiers and they somewhat look like tiered wedding cakes. However, this is determined by how much money you are able to spare.
The baby shower is usually unisex; it can be bought either the expected baby is a boy or a girl. When ordering yours, make sure you order from an outlet that delivers fast. Truth is that you cannot afford delay in delivery so that the shower can meet up with schedule, failure of which will adversely affect the purpose of the delivery. Most of the outlets designing the bee themed shower make them in artistic, tasteful and beautiful ways. You must however choose very carefully when buying to ensure the gift meets up with expectation.

Access Without Fear: Building a City of Sanctuary
City of Toronto
Providing access to city services to non-status or undocumented immigrants reduces fear of deportation while contributing to wider community safety and well-being.
On February 21, 2013, Toronto became the first Canadian municipality to formally provide a sanctuary for non-status or undocumented immigrants. While the City of Toronto has long had an informal Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy that meant city staff could do their jobs without asking about immigration status, it is now implementing a formal Access Without Fear policy.
As Toronto Star reporter Nicholas Keung wrote, "Council's vote was significant at a time when the undocumented population is expected to surge in 2015, when many legal but temporary foreign workers will see their four-year work permits expire under a new federal law and potentially move 'underground.'"
City staff is reviewing ways to implement the decision, including ensuring that all residents have access by removing identification requirements to a wide range of core service areas, such as healthcare, education, income support programs, employment protection, affordable housing, settlement services, social assistance and legal services. At the time of the vote, Toronto City Council also requested the Federal government establish a regularization program for undocumented residents and that the Provincial government review opening access to its funded services.
Staff will consult widely with community groups, some of whom were instrumental in bringing this policy change to Council. Many are part of the Solidarity City Network, an informal collective of Toronto residents who advocate for regularization of undocumented people. Their key argument, supported by the City, is that undocumented people need access to services to reduce fear, increase public health and safety of all residents, and contribute to the city's prosperity. After all, most of them pay taxes.
With Access Without Fear, Toronto joins a growing "sanctuary city"movement now in 36 US cities and 14 cities in the United Kingdom, respectively, where local governments are adopting formal policies that ensure all residents can access municipal services, regardless of immigration status. As a result of Toronto's decisions, the city of Hamilton is also considering such a policy.

Zrinjevac Park is a central city park in the city of Mostar, and it is located between two famous squares – the Square of Great Croatians and the Spanish Square. It has always been a favourite place for walking, sitting, recreation, resting and playing for small and big citizens of Mostar, particularly after 2007 when the park was completely renovated and became a multi-purpose for different types of visitors.
Neretva River is excellent for a variety of adventure activities and active holiday in nature, and in particular we want to emphasize rafting. Whether you are visiting Herzegovina with friends, family or work colleagues, rafting on the river Neretva is a time for laughing, bonding, good recreation and team building.
When you mention bowling to the people in Herzegovina, the first thing that comes to mind to most of them is some kind of American recreation of Saturday evenings, which can rarely be experienced in these areas.
While in the winter everything happens indoors, in the summer Mostar shows its Mediterranean spirit and atmosphere. At night, some streets or parts of the city with many cafes are full of the guests eager for fun and entertainment.
Other than many natural and cultural heritages, Mostar also offers great shopping experience, which is no different to shopping in the rest of the Europe – in offer, quality or price.

goodknight, beuysngerls, this is siemers speaking: in 2002 the now long defunct swedish label push the button asked me to compile a cd of soundworks i had done so far: toomuchonoured i did of course and siemers inter pares saw the lights of nodays: some old punk, some new minimalalastatics, some beatweaneas: siemers inter pares: in 2003 the wonderwonderful people of retinascan asked artists from around the world to take some of these noises and to mixadopt them and 43 of them did: retinascan collected these on the triple-cd siemers inter pares inter pares: a collection of re-makes and re-models that stimulated my megalegomania and i loved them all at all and all at all.
carl kruger was one of the artists involved and he even did some more than a halfsane/halfinsaint artist might be expected to do: he poked and drilled and rebored the sounds i created using sounds the residents in 2002 gave away to any body that wanted to hear/bear and/or recreate their situationalist noise and he released a very limited edition ( five=infact) of a cd-r-album with twenty extra(ct)minutes of steadysquealingthumping noise he extraterroricated from the signal-to-residents-noises i created. ant diss iss wot you are going to be hearing right now: the carl-kruger-mixes of dieswäärts!

Por L@s Desaparecid@s
"Growing up I always saw her photo at my grandparents house. It was big and black and white, no one talked about who she was and for some reason she seemed very familiar. Time went on and my grandparents moved houses at least 4 more times. Her photo was always there, big and in a very visible place. As I grew older so did my interest in finding out who she was. Rebeca Eunice Vargas Braghirolly, she was my mothers sister who was one of the 45,000 disappeared by the military during the war in Guatemala. It was frustrating but intriguing. I had no idea people could disappear. Photographs capture intensity, they capture time periods. Many mindful tasks are involved when taking a photograph. Sometimes the photograph is taken by us and other times the photograph is there to be used to denounce what it needs to say. Images are powerful, they entail responsibility. The idea of working about those who are deceased is a commitment. The idea of death is something we get to know at an early age and the only thing we have for certain when we are born. There is something profound and intriguing in the exploration of those who are not here, there is love, there is respect, there is mystery, we are all human. The fine line between life and death is fascinating, it is challenging to undertake, a reason to explore and try to understand how the art of war becomes the art of death and compromise.

The Voice of College Football Retires
If you ever watched Big 10 or Pac 10 football on ABC, then you know Keith Jackson. The voice of college football has been on the job forever, and was a part of my Saturday morning routine. First, Froot Loops or Cap'n Crunch, then cartoons, and then Jackson and Michigan football.
Well, he announced today that he is retiring.
What's this mean for ABC? Likely a large branding effort for college football that has been deeply tied to Jackson. What's this say about televised sports - that if you have a personality, you can build an audience and a loyal audience at that.
While we are moving in the whole era of consumer generated media, YouTube rocks, blah blah blah ... it is still the televised sports arena that builds celebrity and experts that has yet to be replicated online.
5 comments
Keith Jackson is, like Jim McKay and Kurt Gowdy, from that marevelous group of sportscasters that made ABC the worldwide leader in sports. We don't see people like these gentelmen anymore.ReplyDelete
This truly marks the end of the golden age of television sports broadcasters. I fear we will never see their kind again.
Jackson is truly the voice of college football. There is no one else with his style and grace.
I'll miss him. We all will.
Whoa, Nellie. He's the grandaddy of em all. How can I watch the Rose Bowl with no Keith Jackson?ReplyDelete
It's a slobberknocker for the big uglies down front!
It was a 'humdinger' of an announcement on a "beautiful sunny day in PaaaasaDENA, California."ReplyDelete
His voice, with and class will be missed.
Auburn is going through a bit of our own Keith Jackson situation. After this year's football season, Carl Stephens announced his retirement as Auburn's football announcer. Stephens has been our announcer for the past 27 years and has a voice that makes Auburn fan get goosebumps at the first "War Eagle" of the season.
It's funny how we can form such attachments to a single voice. But as an avid Auburn football fan, I can still hear his voice and like I was at a game today.
I sympathize with your loss of Jackson. Hopefully both our teams will land a decent replacement!

Yesterday was my first time watching Dennis The Menace since I was a kid. Did you ever pick up the adult jokes?
There's one where Dennis explains to his neighbor, Mrs. Wilson, that his dad is mostly happy. Except on Sunday mornings when his dad and his mom "wrestle" in their bedroom:
* Dennis: [in an attempt to give Mr. Wilson his 'I'm Sorry' card] I'm kind of busy today, so I won't have a chance to give it to him. I have to go to Margaret's house, because we're getting poor and my mom's got a job now. So could I just leave it up by his whisker-cutter? That's where I leave all my dad's 'Sorry' cards, and it's a good time to say you're sorry. 'Cause grownup guys are happy in the morning when they wake up. My dad's so happy, he whistles when he goes to the bathroom. The only time he isn't happy is on Sunday morning when he and my mom wrestle. They kind of like to be alone when they do that. I think it's 'cause they take off their shirts and then they start to make funny noises.
* Mrs. Martha Wilson: [uncomfortable about what Dennis is saying] Uh, you can go up, as long as you promise not to disturb Mr. Wilson.
* Dennis: I promise.

Longmont police along with the Boulder County Regional Bomb Squad have rendered a suspicious package safe after retrieving it Tuesday morning from behind apartment buildings in the central part of the city, according to a news release.
Police were dispatched 8:05 a.m. Tuesday to the 700 block of Collyer Street after sanitation workers spotted the package lying on the ground between two dumpsters at the back of two eight-unit apartment buildings.
The package is described as somewhat cylindrical, about 4 feet in width and 1.5 inches in diameter and wrapped in black tape with a green cord extending from it. Police are not releasing photographs at this time.
The area was cordoned off until 10 a.m., however, patrol officers are interviewing residents in the area. Nobody was evacuated and no streets were closed.
The release posted to the Longmont public safety Facebook page said the bomb squad "will continue their investigation away from this location."
Anyone with pertinent information is asked to call Detective John Steele at 303-651-8523.

Third Generation
Introducing SALMON's third generation…
Third generation siblings Matt, Kate and Andrew came to SALMON Health and Retirement only after starting their professional careers elsewhere. They all started off with different college degrees, in different directions, finding their places within the organization at different points in their work lives.
There wasn't any pressure to join the "family business" from their parents; all three of them came to know and appreciate the organization by looking at it from the outside as well as the inside. Being part of what their grandparents and parents had built proved irresistible—in thought, word, and deed.
Matt Salmon, PT, MHP, MBA
Chief Executive Officer
Matt began his career with the organization as a physical therapist with Beaumont at Westborough in 1995. Following that, he served as rehabilitation director for the Natick campus, and in the same capacity for all of our campuses. Matt then took on the executive directorship of the Northbridge campus.
After earning Master's Degrees in both Health Care Professions and Business Administration from Northeastern University in 1999, Matt was promoted in 2006 to SALMON's vice president of programs, quality and innovation, a position drawing on his unique combination of clinical and business skills.
He was named COO of SALMON Health and Retirement in 2010, and became CEO in 2013. Matt says the constant pursuit of learning prepared him for his role as CEO. "Formal education has always been important to me. I believe you can't improve or be successful unless you're learning."
Matt is married to SALMON's Director of Rehabilitation Services Kimberly Malloy-Salmon, DPT. They are the parents of two children (and two beloved dogs).
Andrew Salmon
Director of Network Development
Andrew Salmon joined the organization in 2006, after being an administrator for a healthcare corporation. Formerly Northbridge campus executive director, his current position links SALMON to the business community. He manages a referral center, skilled nursing admissions and transfers and maintains relationships with discharge planners, case managers and other health organizations.
Andrew has been trustee and board member of Milford Regional Medical Center and on the boards of Whitin Community Center and Mass. Assisted Living Federation of America. He is a corporator of UniBank and Greater Worcester Community Foundation and chairs the development committee of Blackstone Valley Education Foundation.
Andrew holds a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Wheaton College. He is a married father of two and an endurance athlete, completing six Ironman Triathlons and the 2013 Ironman World Championship.
Kate Salmon-Robinson, MHSA
Special Projects
Kate worked for a large nursing home company and came to SALMON in 1993 as administrator of Beaumont at Westborough.

Friday, United announced ticket price hikes of up to $50—the largest single fare increase I can recall. Increases went into effect Thursday. The Associated Press confirmed that as of this afternoon, Continental matched United's hikes, and US Airways is considering the idea. United spokesman Robin Urbanski told the AP reporter that fuel costs—which reached a record high of $111 a barrel yesterday—were to blame.
United's fare increases are based on miles flown, with round-trips of less than 500 miles going up by $4 to $10 and long-haul flight increases ranging from $12 to $50. The biggest increases will affect some of United's less popular routes, such as Atlanta/Seattle and Boston/Denver. Sticker-shock won't be as significant on United routes that compete with low-cost carriers like Southwest and JetBlue.
As oil prices have gone up the past several years, the airlines have been raising fares incrementally and adding extra fees (like charging for second checked bags) to keep up. Given that analysts from Goldman Sachs and other groups are speculating that oil prices may rise to $150 to $200 a barrel in the not-so-distant-future, I'd say we're going see a lot of record-breaking airfare increases too. We're certainly keeping an eye on the numbers.

Cheating on Someone
eBook (PDF), 231 Pages
Price: $2.00
This book is about a relationship between the one who makes goals and the one who makes holes. Two loves who grew up in the sheltered, imaginative, and far-off world of college moved in together, never realizing how different things would be, never realizing the difficulties of staying in love. This book is also about the romance and tragedies that come along with an age-gap relationship. A Vietnam War veteran and a black adoptee meet in Indiana, and they take a liking to each other. They are not just ships passing each other in the sea of life; they actually hook-up despite doubts that the relationship will work. The feelings between them are intense, making each day, each week, each month more intense than the last. But they become separated by distance. And more doubts emerge as to the longevity of the relationship. The question: How long can they last in their own little world until they start to see the world around them?

Source: Talks with Bhagawan Ramana Maharshi
Talk 103.
Bhagawan Ramana Maharishi :
Even if instructed by others to do japa or dhyana, they do it for some time, but are always looking to some results, e.g., visions, dreams, or thaumaturgic powers.
If they do not find them they say they are not progressing or the tapas is not effective.
Visions, etc., are no signs of progress. Mere performance of tapas is its progress also. Steadiness is what is required. Moreover they must entrust themselves to their mantra or their God and wait for its Grace. They don't do so.
Japa even once uttered has its own good effect, whether the individual is aware or not.

Custom Application Programing – Either a Feast or Famine
Perhaps I should take 16 day vacations more often, as upon my settling in after my return I realized that I have a very full plate in front of me. Throughout my years as an independent software developer, this is what I have found. When a developer is dealing with custom applications, it seems there is either a feast or famine relative to the amount of work that's available. Perhaps as a parallel to the old expression "…absence makes the heart grow fonder…" in a like manner perhaps "… absence makes application users think of new things for their application to do…"
Actually I'd rather think that the feast or famine is just a normal flow. I have seen this cycle over and over again. I've had people ask me before, what do you do with your time when it's slow? My answer to them is generally that I spend the time learning what I'll need for the next time I have a feast of work. By the way, not only do I provide the previous answer, but that's actually what I do!
As far as spending the quiet times studying or learning new things that I may use in the future, I have become a firm believer in doing this. It seems to keep me from becoming stagnant and set in my ways. Sometimes, the research and new things that I try truly do pay off in the future — but there are other times that I learned what I do not want to do in the future. That lesson can be of immense value also.
During a feast of work, it just doesn't make sense to be spending time trying to learn something new. In the famine times, I find myself hungry to check out the latest development tools and look at ways to improve my skills so that I can become more efficient. This has served me well through the years.

For Dr. Clayton Kazan, his new position as medical director for the Los Angeles County Fire Department is one for which he's spent a long time preparing.
Like many of our firefighters, Kazan grew up watching Emergency!, and he was a big fan.
"I had the helmets; I had the breathing apparatus; and I had the lunchbox," he said. "That was my thing when I was really little. I wanted to be a firefighter—a firefighter paramedic."
In college, Kazan initially wanted to be a pediatrician; however, he "fell in love" with EMS when he took his first EMT course at UCLA and rode on an ambulance in 1994. He went to medical school with the goal of working in emergency medicine, and he even joined a volunteer fire department while getting his M.D. and M.S. in Clinical Pathology at the Chicago Medical School in North Chicago, Illinois.
His curriculum vitae includes three years as medical director for the Los Angeles County Paramedic Training Institute's paramedic program; three years with UCLA Emergency Medical Services, where he worked as a supervisor for the training program; and many years working in different emergency rooms. He served as both the chairman of the St. Francis Medical Center Emergency Department and the medical director of emergency services at the hospital.
"My hope was to become medical director of a fire department someday," he said.
The odds were slim. Kazan grew up in the South Bay of Los Angeles and did not want to move out of the area—so when he heard about the Department's job posting, "I leapt at it," he said. "I remember telling (people), 'I think this was the job I was meant to have."
And so far, he's enjoying the job.
"I haven't been so excited to come to work in a long time," he said.

When you write all the time, it's easy to feel like every concept in the universe has already been exhausted. I understand your pain. If you think your idea pump could use a good priming, you might want to start thinking outside the box. Here are a few unexpected sources of writing inspiration.
PostSecret is one of my favorite places to get story ideas. This website "is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard" (PostSecret). The secrets range from trivial to life-changing in significance and are accompanied by pictures that may or may not relate to the confession. When I want inspiration, I look here first. Sometimes you can get plot situations from here, but more often than not, you'll come away with at least some interesting character quirks.
You can also find ideas from magazine article titles. This method works better for creative nonfiction, but if you get creative, you can still apply it to your short stories and novels. I wrote a piece not too long ago titled "Five Ways to Make Him Stay" about a troubled marriage. The title came straight from Cosmopolitan. You can also get ideas from news headlines, which tends to be my preference.
Another excellent source for writing inspiration is the re-imagination of actual events–whether from your life or from someone else's. This method can also be very therapeutic.Take an encounter and turn it on its head. How could the event have happened differently? What could have been some of the consequences?
If you're still having troubles finding idea, consider this model to set up a story:
A _____ wants _____, but ____ gets in the way.
This model is the one I use for most of my stories. My most recent short story, "Teacup," looks something like this:
A creative writing professor wants to have a romantic relationship with a pretty girl, but the fact that she's a student gets in the way.
This format is very basic, but it can be surprisingly helpful. The same is true of the preceding methods. The next time your mental well is running dry, poke around one of these unconventional sources of inspiration.

V C § 23572 Minor Passenger: Enhanced Penalty
California law takes drunk driving very seriously, especially if a child is in the car. In some states, driving drunk with a minor passenger is a separate criminal offense. In California, drivers face an "enhanced penalty" for driving with a young passenger in the car.
According to the law, a "minor passenger" is anyone less 14 years old.
In order to enact the penalty enhancement, the prosecution must demonstrate that you drove under the influence of alcohol. Simply put, if you are convicted of misdemeanor DUI with a minor passenger, you can face additional penalties.
It doesn't matter if you intended to harm the child, if your BAC was over the limit, or if your driving pattern was relatively safe; if law enforcement can show that you were driving under the influence, the penalties applies.
What are the penalties for DUI with a child?
Your first misdemeanor DUI with a child in the car is punishable by an additional 48 hours of incarceration. Second convictions are punishable by another 10 days in jail; third convictions are punishable by an additional 30 days; and fourth convictions can lead to an additional 90 days in jail.
According to California law, a "previous" DUI is any drunk driving conviction that occurred within the past ten years.
Drunk Driving Laws & Child Endangerment
Although some states have "DUI child endangerment statutes," California recognizes these crimes as separate offenses. If you were charged with DUI and law enforcement believes that a child was in car, you can face separate criminal charges. The prosecutor can choose to charge you with:
- DUI with a penalty enhancement under V C § 23572
- DUI and child endangerment (a separate offense) under Penal Code 273(a)
- DUI with a penalty enhancement and child endangerment
California law cracks down on individuals who knowingly place a child in a situation where his / her health and / or welfare are placed in jeopardy. This is child endangerment. Because there is some overlap between DUI with a child passenger and child endangerment, you can face several charges for the same offense.
If you were arrested for DUI with a child passenger, contact a defense attorney from the Law Offices of Virginia L. Landry, Inc. today.

Marni can do very little wrong in my eyes and this behind-the-scenes video for their Spring/Summer 2012 woven bags just makes 'em even more loveable. So nicely done and such an interesting technique too – I do like to see the factory process from start to finish, especially that pasta-machine-looking device squeezing out the leather. The stretched weaving frame is pretty special too – reminds me of my mum's proggy rugs but on a way more glamorous scale.
Watch and learn – it's a lovely little film.
As for the bags, the chunky leather/satin weave in Marni's usual sexy-sludgy colours has the feel of those woven shoppers that Luis Vuitton so famously fancied-up but on a more jumbo scale.
Now isn't that lovely? Little teeny tiny strips of super-soft leather all woven together for a tan, tasselly dream. Not convinced? They do it in about a million other colours and varying sizes too, so if you fancy a bigger weave, no worries:
Of course they're still massively outside of my budget – but if I was going to part with a grand on a nice handbag, I'd like it to have a special film of its own documenting its journey from stringy tagliatelle leather to beautiful structured grown-up lady bag.

Rick Stein hosts Local Food Links school chef
The opportunity came as part of LACA's (Lead Association for Catering in Education) 'Host a School Chef' initiative.
The initiative is sponsored by Alaska Seafood UK, an organisation which encourages children to eat more healthy, nutritious fish.
The promotion offers school chefs the opportunity to spend a day in the kitchen of some of the most exclusive restaurants in the country, working alongside some of the most celebrated chefs in the catering industry, demonstrating the breadth and depth of talent of today's education caterers.
Dan, who has worked for Local Food Links for 9 years, describes his role as "rewarding".
He found his day at Sandbanks to be an "incredible experience, the orders were continuously coming in and I hit the ground running" and said that he had a "brilliant day, everyone works extremely hard to produce the amazing dishes and it was good to see and experience how different kitchens operate."

Was our oldest ancestor a proton-powered rock?
作者:幸述 时间:2019-03-14 01:06:01 人气: ℃
By Nick Lane PETER MITCHELL was an eccentric figure. For much of his career he worked in his own lab in a restored manor house in Cornwall in the UK, his research funded in part by a herd of dairy cows. His ideas about the most basic process of life – how it gets energy – seemed ridiculous to his fellow biologists. "I remember thinking to myself that I would bet anything that [it] didn't work that way," biochemist Leslie Orgel wrote of his meeting with Mitchell half a century ago. "Not since Darwin and Wallace has biology come up with an idea as counter-intuitive as those of, say, Einstein, Heisenberg and Schrödinger." Over the following decades, however, it became clear that Mitchell was right. His vindication was complete when he won a Nobel prize in 1978. Even today, though, most biologists have yet to grasp the full implications of his revolutionary ideas – especially for the origin of life. "Mitchell's ideas were about how cells are organised in space, and cellular energy generation is a feature of that," says geochemist Mike Russell of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "The problem is that most ideas on the origin of life lack both spatial organisation and a supply of energy to drive replication or growth." A few researchers, including Russell, have been rethinking the origin of life in the light of Mitchell's ideas. They think the most counter-intuitive trait of life is one of the best clues to its origin. As a result,

Dr. Pepper and I have a long history. We first met in junior high. A friend was shocked that I had never had Dr. Pepper so she agreed to bring me a can from home. In our household (to this day), there's no soda allowed except for 7UP (which assists with the occasional tummy ache). Therefore, Dr. Pepper didn't exist in my world until the next day when I opened up my first can to go along with my pepperoni pizza.
Sitting in her lunch box all day, the can was unfortunately lukewarm and the flavor indiscernible. It's not cola, it wasn't crisp like 7UP, yet it had a slight "pep." I had to try it again yet Mom refused to carry it in the house. The drink was too different and I would be the only one drinking it. What's wrong with that?
No one really knows the story behind Dr. Pepper or its flavor profile. All we know is it was invented in the 188os by Charles Alderton of Waco, TX. My love affair began in junior high and to this day there really isn't a drink that can match Dr. Pepper. I professed my love to Dr. Pepper via Twitter and how fortunate am I that they returned the favor with a customized shirt!
I love Dr. Pepper for reaching out to me. You should have heard me scream when I opened the package. Years of Dr. Pepper loyalty all paid off when they sent me this wonderful gift. Dr. Pepper, I can't thank you enough. 🙂

Larger, yet lighter. Prettier, yet rufty-tufty
Land Rover's design HQ is expanding. It has to if it's to cope with the wave of new product that's coming over the next few years. Range Rover, Land Rover, Defender: the brand lives in three distinct silos now, having morphed from British Leyland country bumpkin into one of the glittering jewels of the car industry. An insatiable appetite for SUVs has helped. But a highly astute design philosophy has played a major part too, as has a growing reputation for engineering integrity and ingenuity.
LR's chief design officer Gerry McGovern occupies an impressively stark mezzanine office, and is a man possessed of a clear strategic vision. There may be a fluffy white cat around somewhere, but I can't see it. Having just been inside the all-new Discovery, I can confirm that there's ample room to safely swing one (metaphorical, obvs).
'Design creates an emotional connection between our customers and our vehicles," Gerry says. "We truly believe the new Discovery is a radical design departure that will introduce the car to a new and wider customer base."
If it doesn't look all that radical, it's probably because it's very similar to 2014's New York Vision Concept, or indeed a Discovery Sport that's been inflated by an industrial-size straw in the exhaust. Personally, I reckon the outgoing Disco is a masterpiece of modern product design, although its bluff surfacing polarised opinion. The new one won't. But when it drives into LR's daylight viewing area – always essential to see how natural light plays off a car – it makes the old car look just that.
In fact, McGovern orders two new Discoverys into the atrium for inspection: one is in standard trim; the other wears Dynamic Design apparel, which runs to different bumpers, black or grey contrast roof, 21 or 22in alloy wheels, and badge deletion. Stealthy. There's greater visual differentiation than you might think, but both are unquestionably 21st-century Land Rovers sophisticated, modern, chiselled to within an inch of their lives. "We love the original Discovery," Gerry says, "but I'm not sure it was ever actually designed."
The new one – Disco 5 – makes that car look antediluvian. The windscreen has a "faster" rake, the stepped roof is intact and there are castellations round the wheelarches. At the rear, the new Disco gets horizontal rear LEDs, signalling the end of the split tailgate. It's more dynamic looking, says McGovern, but also increases the loading aperture, while a rear spoiler optimises aero and stops the rear end getting too mucky. There's also a new fold-out inner section that can support 300kg, for hunting, shooting or fishing, and the new Disco has a best-in-class 3,500kg towing capacity.
The drag coefficient is an impressive 0.33, a significant improvement on the Discovery's barn-door predecessors, with the efficiency benefits that accrue. There's some great detailing: on SE models and above, there are "lightpipe" elements in the front lights that glow from white to amber when you're indicating. Indeed, the front seven-cluster LEDs have no fewer than five different lighting modes.

- Wedding: October 2015
I would love to hear from couples in a similar position. I'm looking to learn more about any struggles/obstacles or even successes along the path. Particularly, I would love to hear about the relationships with the in-laws and how people have raised their kids.
A little background on me – I'm Hindu and my fiance is Syrian Christian. We've been together for the past 7 years and are getting married next year. Neither of us consider ourselves religious, but our views on religion are very similar. We have always had a mutual respect and understanding for one another's culture/religion and agree that our kids will be raised in both cultures/religions. To be honest, we really don't mind what the kids choose when they're older (or even if they're atheist/agnostic). Our priority is that they are raised with solid values/morals and respect and participate in both sides of their heritage equally.
My family is open-minded and educated, and there have been several people in my extended family who married outside of the Indian/Hindu community without much trouble. Although my immediate family has serious concerns about how I will be treated in his family, they are willing to support the relationship if we are happy together. His family, however, has not been very easy to deal with. They are part of an orthodox Syrian Christian community that is very closed off. Although his parents are nice people, they have a HUGE issue with the fact that I'm Hindu. They refuse to participate in any Hindu related event, but still expect me to completely integrate in their community. We've been dealing with this kind of attitude for the past few years and it's caused a lot of stress in my fiance's relationship with his parents. They have not disowned him (and they won't), but they are being difficult and resist "going with the flow". I believe they are having trouble reconciling doing what their son wants and doing what their community expects/wants.
My fiance and I have been very strong and united through it all – which we are thankful for. But, I am concerned about how his parents will continue to treat us (and me in particular) in the future. I hope that they learn to respect me and accept me for ME (religion included).

Misunderstandings about this insurance are very common & very costly.
by Erin Prutow, Esq.
You're a trainer, barn owner, barn manager –why is it important to carry workers' compensation insurance?
A busy hunter-jumper trainer needs help with stalls while away at horse shows and hires a stall cleaner to work at the farm every morning for the remainder of the show circuit. The diligent worker gets kicked by a stall-sour mare while mucking out stalls; as the business owner are you responsible for paying medical costs relating to this worker's injury?
As with many areas in law, the answer is—it depends. In California, employers must provide workers' compensation coverage for their employees. However, workers' compensation benefits are not required for independent contractors. While equestrian professionals may claim that they do not need to provide workers' compensation insurance because their workers are all independent contractors, this classification is determined by multiple factors, not necessarily how you, as the employer, think of them. Consequently, many equine professionals are assuming great risk of potential legal liability, criminal penalties, and expensive back taxes by misclassifying their employees as independent contractors.
Workers compensation insurance covers a worker who suffers a job-related injury or illness and is paid for by their employer. Workers compensation benefits can assist in covering medical expenses, rehabilitation, and provide for lost wages. To receive workers' compensation benefits, the worker is not required to prove their employer is at fault; this speeds up the process and allows the worker to receive benefits for their injuries sooner. On balance, when claiming workers' compensation benefits, the worker loses their right to sue their employer for negligence and will not collect any damages for pain and suffering like they might in a personal injury suit.1
Horse-related injuries are part and parcel of working with and around horses. Since the equine profession is an industry that consistently relies on specialized manual labor, the risk of injury cannot necessarily be mitigated by technology and automation as in many other fields of work. Surgery and rehabilitation for a broken limb from being thrown off a horse or to alleviate the pain of a slipped disc from years spent in the irons can be extremely expensive.
In California, insurance providers have reacted to the high costs of claims by substantially increasing their premium reserves.2 Nationally, California's costs are substantially higher than in any other state, denoting an increase in workers' compensation claims and higher costs set aside for each individual claim. For an equine professional in California, this data signals the importance of insurance to mitigate these rising costs.
Although the cost of carrying workers' compensation insurance can deter many equine professionals from obtaining it for their employees, failing to carry it exposes an employer to major liabilities. In California, the Employment Development Department ("EED") determines whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor.6 Notably, the EED has a strong preference for finding workers to be employees. If you misclassify a worker and you do not have workers' compensation insurance, you could be subject to criminal and civil penalties. Failing to have workers' compensation insurance is a misdemeanor punishable by either a fine of over $10,000 or imprisonment for up to one year.7 If an injured worker brings a claim before the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, an uninsured employer is subject to a heavy fine for each uninsured employee on payroll at the time of the claim with a maximum of $100,000.8 The IRS can also audit equine businesses for improper income tax withholdings and request employment taxes for each misclassified employee.9
An independent contractor classification centers around a "right to control" the means and timetable to complete hired work. Independent contractors are hired to perform services on their own schedule without any expectation of continued indefinite employment.10 Independent contractors provide their own equipment and work without supervision.11 Conversely, a worker would be more likely to be viewed as an employee if their schedule is determined by their employer, if they receive training, if the equipment necessary for the job is provided, and if the worker receives regular payroll.12
In the horse industry, think of your farrier as an example of an independent contractor. He comes to shoe your horse for a predetermined rate, using his own truck and equipment on his own schedule. Braiders, nightwatch, haulers, massage therapists, and veterinarians are other examples of equine independent contractors. Alternatively, a barn manager who receives regular pay for preset work hours, uses the farm equipment, and works under the supervision of the barn owner or trainer would be viewed as an employee.
To mitigate the risk of a misclassification, make sure that your independent contractors have their own insurance and that you are providing insurance for all of your employees. Always provide employees access to their workers' compensation insurance information.13 Review the appropriate IRS and California guidelines. The EDD has a questionnaire on their website to assist employers in correctly classifying their workers.14 Finally, if you are still in doubt about the status of your worker, consult a local tax attorney or accountant.

All Star Code is happy to announce a partnership with the JPMorgan Chase's The Fellowship Initiative, also called TFI. TFI enrolls high school males of color in a comprehensive, hands-on enrichment program that includes academic, social and emotional support. TFI was piloted in 2010 with one cohort in New York City and has since expanded to Chicago and Los Angeles.
Through this partnership, ASC provides free, full-day workshops to TFI Fellows. ASC instructors introduce basic business planning and modeling, wire framing and business pitching. ASC has conducted workshops in Chicago and New York and is headed to Los Angeles in January!
In Chicago and NYC, students were excited by the opportunity to create and pitch a business based on their unique ideas. Examples of pitches included a mobile application that helps musicians to showcase their talent and book gigs, and an application that helps student athletes filter their college search based on the quality of the sports program and geographic location.

So. Startup Weekend is a 54 hour event where you can get a crash-course on being an entrepreneur. But how are you going to participate in Startup Weekend? There are a variety of ways anyone can participate. I had an interesting experience where I signed up to be a developer but had reservations on developing when I arrived. It was fine – I still played a part as a Project Manager and assisted with some development decisions. In other words – whatever ticket you choose, while it is very important, there are so many more ways to participate in Startup Weekend.
But that doesn't necessarily help you decide which way you'll sign up to participate, does it? Never fear. I've pulled together a little guidance on each role at Startup Weekend: Developer, Designer, and Non-technical!
This ticket type applies to software engineers/coders/developers – in short, anybody who can and will write code.
Honestly – that description is pretty perfect. What can you expect to do at Startup Weekend, though, if you sign up as a Developer? You might start with a pitch. And then you might work with the non-technical and designer to ensure your concept is effective for completion in 54-hours and then start to code. Or maybe you don't have an idea to pitch. Or you might pitch an idea that doesn't make the cut Friday night. You can still join another team and work with that team to complete the idea and code during the weekend either alone or with another developer (or two)!
This ticket type applies to anybody with a background in design (graphics, UX/UI, etc.)
Again, the ticket definition hits it spot-on. Know anything about design? Great! This ticket is for you. You might spend your time creating a logo or elements of an online-tool (like buttons, etc) or even laying out pages on a site. Or creating the many graphics needed for a site. If you have some coding knowledge for design, that's great! If you know a bit about UX/UI but can't complete everything for it – this is the ticket for you, too! And your time to learn more about creating the best experience online. If you'd like to read more about this unique way to participate. Also check out this great blog post on The Role of Design in Startup Weekend.
This ticket type applies to business, marketing & PR, and anyone with a non-technical background.
I love this ticket type description. It really can serve so many purposes because there are so many things to be done at Startup Weekend. It takes a great team to pull off creating a business in 54 hours. Are you a great marketer? This ticket type is for you. Do you know a lot about running a business? Or starting one, at least? This ticket type is for you. Are you a great writer? You might also make a great blogger or copywriter for a website or tool. This ticket type can also be for you! Also – don't forget – you can pitch an idea Friday night, too. Maybe that's what you think you're coming with – just an idea for a business. And that's fine. You can watch your idea unfold in 54 hours and learn the many different things you need to get that started with a great team while helping each developer, designer, marketer to get this accomplished.
Whichever ticket type you choose, there are so many ways to participate at Startup Weekend. From Friday Night through Sunday evening. It can be as much or as little as you like – but you'll get the experience of watching a business start faster than any other situation.
Still have questions about what ticket to buy? Or just want to say hi? Just email us at lancasteruk (at) startupweekend (dot) org (or you can click the contact button on our home page).

Letter to an antisemite
Alternate title: Letter to a not-at-all-antisemitic acquaintance who has Jews among his best friends
I received your message the other day. Thank you for taking the time to write. You asked me why I, a non-Jew, speak so loudly about antisemitism. You said that I make too much of a big deal about Israel. You said that lots of people are anti-Zionist without being antisemitic, even Jews! You said that antisemitism is not really a problem, and that the Holocaust should be left alone in the history books. You said that I should forget about the outdated issue of antisemitism.
I regret that my support for Israel offends you and that my opposition to antisemitism disturbs you, but I will reply to your recommendations by asking you some questions.
Since you are an educated person, you must be aware of the overwhelming evidence that Israel is isolated, demonized, singled out, and boycotted for the sole reason that it is the Jewish state. Why do you choose to ignore this antisemitism?
When someone makes callous remarks about the Jewish nation being "that shitty little country", do you nod enthusiastically?
When someone arrogantly declares that Israel is a Western imperialist power on the land where Jews have lived for over three thousand years, do you agree?
When someone scornfully announces that Israel's settlements building is an obstacle to peace even though Palestinians have rejected multiple attempts at a two-state solution, do you respond with approval?
When someone self-importantly condemns Israel's security barrier, claiming that it is racist, do you acquiesce?
When someone condescendingly makes claims of "apartheid" in Israel, the only country in the Middle East where the rights of religious and ethnic minorities are respected, do you approve?
When someone disdainfully proclaims that Israel is engaged in genocide in Gaza every time it dares defend itself against terrorism, do you smile in agreement?
When someone cynically praises the United Nations for dozens of anti-Israel resolutions while even the most vile of regimes has no more than one resolution against it, do you let the insult stand?
When someone sanctimoniously condemns the terrorist attacks against Charlie Hebdo in Paris and then quickly adds that Israel makes Muslims angry, do you endorse the condemnation?
When someone contemptuously denies Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state and to be a haven for Jews everywhere, despite the horrors of antisemitism historically and in present times, do you respond with approval?
When someone disparagingly accuses Israel, which has had to defend itself against wars and terrorism for over 66 years, of being a terrorist state, do you concur?
When someone sneeringly remarks that Israel is now "worse than the Nazis", do you stay silent and stare into space?
If you responded positively to the above questions, then I further need to ask: Were you raised to support or ignore discrimination and blatant injustice? Does your religion or moral system teach you to stand by while one small nation is demonized and the only people standing up for it are a tiny minority? Does your conscience allow you to see this injustice happen in front of yours eyes while you either cheer or remain a silent bystander?
You see, even though I am an Atheist Arab, I have a moral standard. Not only is standing up against injustice allowed in my view of the world, but it is required. I do it with pride, but mostly I do it because I feel that it is my duty as a citizen of the world. I wish that you would join me.

MoPac and Genocide
Sometimes the authors of letters to the Austin Chronicle editor can be rather wacky. Other times, they make sense. Reading the "Postmarks" section in the copy published today, I found myself wanting to comment on a few of the issues discussed. (This has been a regular thing for me — ideas for new blog posts float into my head as I'm reading, especially when intellectually masturbating with Roland Barthes' Mythologies (new translation)).
The first letter understandably complained about adding tolled express lanes to MoPac. While the author's argument seems a little convoluted, I would simply note that the Texas Department of Transportation recently "found" $2 billion. If, as the agency has stated, that money will go to relieving congestion in metropolitan areas, it should take over the project (which is not supposed to cost anywhere near the amount TxDoT found). Problem solved.
In the second letter, the author describes the gentrification of East Austin as "cultural genocide." Strong words there.
No one is forced to completely abandon his or her culture — no matter the neighborhood in which one lives. Cultures — and their attendant practices, teachings, family structures, et cetera — cross international borders in the minds, bodies and souls of those immigrating to Europe and the United States every day. Similar cultural migrations have occurred throughout history. Admittedly, some of these, often forced, migrations destroyed and degraded some cultures — but I believe more cultures survived than were completely wiped from Earth.
Further, the increase in property taxes that is one of the likeliest catalysts for driving people out of East Austin affects all ethnicities, nationalities and races. Essentially all the working poor — low SES individuals and families — who live there. Of course, prices for their land must be high enough for people to sell their East Austin properties.
While the disruption caused by "gentrification" to some — apparently homogenous to the author of the letter — neighborhoods may not be ideal (or even something with which I necessarily agree), I am not aware of any recent mass graves. Then again, I like a mixture of people, which is why I live in Northeast Central Austin. But "genocide" does not apply here.
Watch your language. It's powerful stuff.
