JUDO VIDEOS Ronda Rousey, MMA Fighter and Olympic Judoka, Demonstrates a Modified Sankaku-Jime (Triangle Choke)
Read Stephen Quadros' EXCLUSIVE interview with Ronda in this FREE download!
Ronda Rousey: An Exclusive Interview With the Gene LeBell Protégé,
Olympic Judo Medalist and MMA Fighter
Fast-forward to 2008: Standing on the dais at the Beijing Olympics, Ronda Rousey, now 21, has a bronze medal draped around her neck. She's the first American woman to take home any Olympic medal in judo. Her father was right: Ronda Rousey's career has garnered accolades such as a world judo championship, record-creating Olympic performances, the Strikeforce bantamweight championship and induction into the Black Belt Hall of Fame as the 2008 Judoka of the Year. For the May 2012 issue of Black Belt, Ronda Rousey sat down with us for a candid interview about judo moves and filmed several online judo videos, such as the sankaku-jime video featured on this page. In celebration of judo in the 2012 Olympic Games, here are a couple of Olympic-related Q&A excerpts from her interview: RONDA ROUSEY — MMA FIGHTER AND OLYMPIC JUDOKA — ON WHETHER THE OLYMPIC DREAM WAS ALWAYS THERE OR CAME ABOUT AFTER YEARS OF TRAINING: "It was definitely always there," Ronda Rousey says. "I was born with my umbilical cord around my neck and suffered from hypoxia. I didn't talk or anything until I was 6 years old. My dad was behind me the whole time: He was like, "You're a sleeper — you'll show everybody." You know how your parents always tell you you're going to win the Olympics or become president? Well, he said I was going to win the Olympics in swimming one day, and that was it. It was instilled into my head from the beginning: You can do whatever you want, but you should do it to become the best at it."

RONDA ROUSEY — JUDO VIDEOS PERSONALITY AND JUDO MOVES EXPERT — ON WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO COMPETE IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES: "There was a big difference between my first Olympics and my second one," Ronda Rousey says. "For the first one, I didn't even expect to make the team. I kind of slipped in at the last minute. I was awe-struck because I'd never been to a tournament that size. By the time I went to my second Olympics, I'd gotten second at the World Championships and won the Pan-American Games, so I was more used to it. I was more focused. "It's awesome being in the [Olympic] Village. It's kind of like being in limbo: The second you get there, it feels like it was a million years ago when you were anywhere else. And the second you leave, it feels like it was a million years ago when you were there. [The Village] is its own little world where your food and your lodging are all taken care of. And I fought in the first week, so I had the whole rest of the month to be like, What do you want to do now? Also, all the athletes, no matter how famous they are, have to stay in the Village. I'd be like, 'That's Kobe Bryant!' or 'That's Michael Phelps!'"

Our senses of taste and smell are intertwined and they work together to help us enjoy the pleasures of eating. The taste buds on our tongue help us to identify basic tastes of bitter, sweet, sour, salty, and savory. Our noses detect airborne molecules called "odorants" or aromas, which are picked up by the membranes inside the nose. They then travel to the brain where they are united (through neural connections) with the sense of taste and we experience "flavor." Most tastes come from odors.
When something is not working properly with either our sense of smell or sense of taste, we have difficulty discerning "good" food from spoiled food, and often find it difficult to enjoy eating.
There are many causes for loss of sense of smell or taste and it is important to identify which sense is suffering. Medications, some cancer treatments, diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, injury and the very process of aging can all impair our sense of taste and smell. In the case of age-related loss of taste, not much can be done, except to be sure the mucous membranes in the nose get plenty of moisture.
One thing that can counter the loss of taste is to add extra flavor to your dishes with spices. Not only do spices add flavor to food, but also, there is a growing body of research that uncovers the medicinal benefits of spices. Eating Well Magazine has a report on 8 of the world's healthiest spices. Here is a brief summary of the spices and their potential benefits:
- Sage –Pairs well with: Squashes; parsley; rosemary; thyme; walnuts
May help: Preserve memory, soothe sore throats.
Recipe to try: Sweet Potato & Turnip Mash with Sage Butter
- Rosemary–Pairs well with: Potatoes; citrus; honey; garlic; onions; chile peppers
May help: Enhance mental focus, fight foodborne bacteria.
- Turmeric –Pairs well with: Garlic; citrus; ingredients in curry powder, such as coriander & cumin
May help: Quell inflammation, inhibit tumors.
- Chile Pepper–Pairs well with: Ginger; chocolate; beans; beef.
May help: Boost metabolism.
- Ginger–Pairs well with: Soy sauce; citrus; chile peppers; garlic.
May help: Soothe an upset stomach, fight arthritis pain.
- Saffron–Pairs well with: Shellfish, rice, tomatoes, garlic, onion.
May help: Boost your mood.
- Parsley–Pairs well with: lemon zest, mint, garlic, capers, fish, beef.
May help: Prevent cancer.
- Cinnamon–Pairs well with: Cloves; nutmeg; allspice; chocolate; fruit; nuts.
May help: Stabilize blood sugar.
Creating meals that are spicy, colorful and that have a rich array of textures, aromas, and flavors is a good way to improve one's diminished sense of taste. If variety is the spice of life, then spice up your meals with a variety of health-filled spices! Bon Appetite!

Deep brain stimulation
Electrical stimulation of the brain is an important therapy for refractory neurological disorders such as drug resistant Parkinson's disease and severe tremor and has become an area of active clinical research in both neurology and psychiatry. Using a technique called deep brain stimulation (DBS), small electrical leads are placed into the brain using stereotactic localization. A special head frame is attached to the skull under local anesthesia, and electrodes are implanted using internal brain targets located with reference to anatomical landmarks determined by brain imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This technique allows for the precise targeting of specific brain sites or nuclei. Insertion of electrodes can be done without damage to adjacent tissue. These electrodes are connected by a wire to a pacemaker implanted in the chest that generates electrical stimulation. Stimulation parameters can be modified by manipulation of the...
Do humans store symbolic information
On chemical reactions in individual visual cells. It would not be appropriate to assume that the timing of the output impulses is the same in all of the visual cells. In other words, it is very likely that at a given moment when you observe the straight line of Figure 4, the impulse data being input into your brain is almost random information. This state of affairs has continued from your birth to the present moment. It means, if we think naturally, we can conclude that human beings never receive symbolic information.
The Mystery of Traveling Endometriosis
You suspect you have endometriosis, or your doctor may have diagnosed you with the disease. However, you're wondering how the endometriosis you have in your pelvic area can end up in your lungs or even your brain. It didn't catch the red-eye from your uterus to your lungs, so how does endometriosis travel to different areas in your body from the pelvic area
Clinical Evaluation and Management
Several therapeutic modalities have been proposed for the treatment of patients in persistent vegetative state. Sensory and electrical stimulation is a method that attempts to increase arousal'' in vegetative patients. Deep brain stimulation of the mesencephalic reticular formation increases cerebral evoked potentials and EEG activity, whereas cervical cord spinal stimulation can activate cerebral glucose metabolism and blood flow. Pharmacological manipulation of the central nervous system has also been attempted in several cases of persistent vegetative state. Treatment with amantadine or Sinemet has been reported to improve the level of consciousness in some patients. However, these reports are anecdotal, and prospective, controlled trials with significant numbers of patients are required to determine the true efficacy of these treatment protocols. Nutrition should also be considered a component of the therapeutic regiment. The degree of nutritional support should correlate with the...
The Biological Challenge To Dream Theory
The biggest challenge to the dream theory that dreams have psychological meaning and are the fulfillment of unconscious wishes came from the brain researchers and neuroanatomists written in 1977 by J. Allan Hobson and Robert W. McCarley. Since the discovery of REM nearly 50 years ago, many brain researchers feel that Freud's theory of dreams is no longer in tune with the laboratory findings on sleep physiology. They play down past psychological traumas as psychological meaning in favor of memory consolidation and feel that dreams are mental nonsense, have no psychological references, and should not be taken seriously. Thus, the biological conception of dreams is at odds with the psychological, with a tendency to neglect the nonbiological explanation. Whatever the position taken, as Michael Gazzaniga points out in the 1990s in his split-brain research, the human brain inherently seeks to make sense of all stimuli, including dreams, through the work of what he calls the interpreter. The...
Treating Emotional Problems with Medication
If you want to try medication without counseling first, your doctor may suggest one of the many antidepressants available. Most of these medications change the balance of the nerve chemicals in your brain. These chemical messengers, called neurotransmitters, are released by nerves and then taken up again by the nerves for reuse.
Challenges in Studies of the Postmortem Human Brain
Analyzing the human brain transcriptome and interpreting the outcome of these experiments is a challenging task. Although many of the following considerations are not unique for genomic experiments and apply in general to postmortem brain research, they have a major impact on planning and interpreting the outcome of microarray experiments. Indeed, sample integrity remains one of the most critical aspects in postmortem brain research. In concordance with previous literature reports (Harrison et al., 1995), we found little evidence that samples with shorter PMIs would be more suitable for microarray analysis than those with longer PMIs. Rather, RNA integrity appears to be more dependent on the circumstances ofdeath. Currently, the best surrogate measurement of agonal state and RNA integrity appears to be brain pH values. In general, samples with pH values less than 6.25 have a high probability of containing significant amounts of degraded RNA, thereby preventing a high-quality...
Herrnsteins Matching Law
Formed closely to a predicted line of perfect matching where response ratios are matched to ratios of obtained reinforcements. The matching law is defined as the matching of response ratios to reinforcement ratios where the match is most robust when dealing with concurrent variable interval variable interval and concurrent variable interval variable ratio reinforcement schedules of operant behavior. Experiments using pigeons, rats, and people as participants show that the matching law applies when they choose between alternative sources of food, brain stimulation, and information, respectively. The three species, doing different things for different consequences, all crowd the theoretical matching line. The acknowledged qualifications on the matching law involve three empirical issues the equivalence of responses, the equivalence of rewards, and the interactions among drives. Much is unsettled about matching as a general principle, but various quantitative conclusions can be drawn...

B) An example of a motor evoked potential recorded from the first dorsal interosseous (index finger) muscle. The latency corresponds to the total motor conduction time.
Ethical Considerations
Deep brain stimulation raises special concerns because neuromodulation techniques deal with the direct stimulation of the brain. No other organ is so closely involved with concepts of mind or self, self-determination and consent. THERAPEUTIC VERSUS INVESTIGATIONAL USE. Given the rapid development of this field, it is important to determine whether the application of deep brain stimulation Today, the use of a device such as the deep brain stimulator goes through several investigational stages before it is accepted as therapeutic. Formal mechanisms are in place to codify this transition. The FDA uses the investigational device exemption process to regulate devices that pose significant risk, such as the deep brain stimulator (Pritchard, Abel, and Karanian). FDA procedures, which supplement institutional review board (IRB) oversight of clinical trials, are designed to establish the safety and efficacy of devices and are required by law.
Investigational Applications
Research in deep brain stimulation is blurring the disciplinary boundaries between neurology and psychiatry. French investigators have discovered that DBS caused transient acute depression in a patient with Parkinson's disease whose motor function had improved markedly through DBS intervention (Bejjani et al.). Investigators are conducting clinical trials for the use of DBS for severe psychiatric illnesses such as obsessive compulsive disorder using techniques pioneered in the treatment of movement disorders (Roth et al. Rapoport and Inoff-Germain). Nicholas D. Schiff and colleagues have proposed the use of DBS for the modulation of consciousness after severe traumatic brain injury (Schiff, Plum, and Rezai).
How Will I Be Monitored When Im Taking Parlodel
Your doctor will draw your blood and check your prolactin level before you begin treatment with Parlodel. If your prolactin level is elevated, you will probably undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of your head. The purpose of that radiological study is to evaluate your brain's pituitary gland. Once you begin Parlodel, your doctor will order blood work to evaluate your response to the medication.

DBS in the STn of DADepleted PD Patients Corrects Migration
The finding of separable storage and retrieval mnemonic deficits restricted in the temporal domain in PD was followed up by a new set of experiments asking whether distinct neural pathways underlie those deficits. To this end, we applied the same encode-decode design in a series of studies testing PD patients OFF levodopa undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) either in the subthalamic nucleus (STn) or the pallidum. The effect of DBS is reversible, and the stimulation parameters (principally site and voltage) can be varied to achieve the optimal therapeutic result (Benabid et al., 1991, 1998). Moreover, the reversibility of DBS means that patients' cognitive performance can be assessed both with (ON) and without (OFF) DBS. This in turn presents the possibility of identifying specific patterns of impairment, including cognitive ones, associated with the stimulated basal ganglia substructures.

The whole human situation is extremely complex, compounded by intricate interactions between nutrition, environment, and heredity on the overall development of physical and mental health. The brain stands in the center of this complex milieu, and, as noted by John Eccles, a great pioneer in brain research, we must continue to use our brains to understand how they show plasticity toward these and other possible
Singer I'm trying to take a neuroscientific perspective on your research on empathy and fit your data into this account. The easy neuroscientific story would be to suggest that the better your action perception resonance mechanism in your brain, the more you share the feelings of others and the more empathic you are. This would imply, however, that sharing negative emotions with others lead automatically to own distress. Now you are showing negative correlations between personal distress and helping behaviour, the latter again associated with empathy. According to such a view, any resonance mechanism resulting in personal distress by the sight of someone suffering negative emotions is hindering empathy.
How Do I Take Clomid
The dosage of Clomid varies but usually ranges from 50 mg to 200 mg daily. Most women start with a daily dosage of 50 mg, and if ovulation does not occur, the dose will be increased. Take your Clomid tablets at approximately the same time each day. Because Clomid works by interrupting your normal hormonal messages and feedback between your brain and ovaries, you should time your Clomid hormonal messages just right.

Former U.K. Department for International Development chiefs Clare Short and Andrew Mitchell have just returned from a trip to the Syrian border with Turkey, where they visited with nongovernmental organizations and U.K. aid partners operating in and around the embattled Middle Eastern country.
"What we saw was fascinating, but also equal parts uplifting and horrifying," Mitchell told Devex.
Testifying in front of Parliament's International Development Committee in the weeks after the trip, Mitchell and Short expressed concern over a range of issues, not least of all their worry that Muslim charities — due to their religious affiliation — are falling victim to unfair discrimination by the donors and financial institutions that are meant to support them.
"In terms of Britain's anti-terror approach, if we are alienating some of the best organizations which the Muslim community is really proud of and we know have a really good quality record, it is very foolish," Short said, speaking to the IDC at an evidence hearing on "the global humanitarian system."
The chiefs named Islamic Relief as one victim of discrimination. Among the largest Muslim organizations in the United Kingdom, Islamic Relief implemented about $4.5 billion worth of projects on DfID's behalf in 2013, largely in conflict zones in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. In January, the British bank HSBC closed Islamic Relief's accounts out of concern the organization was funding terrorist activity. The U.K. Charity Commission subsequently placed Islamic Relief under review, only to later clear it of all suspicion.
"At the moment it's having 'Muslim' or 'Islamic' or something in the title of an organization that makes you instantly suspect, and then smear stories and bank action following that makes life enormously difficult for good organizations. We can do better than that," Short told the IDC.
Talks with DfID about doing more to support aid partners experiencing bias are "ongoing," Mitchell told Devex.
Fixing the humanitarian system
Short, who oversaw DfID when it gained full departmental status and who became the first cabinet-level secretary of state for international development, also shared her thoughts with the committee about the U.K.'s priorities for next month's World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul.
Conflict resolution is a key area for improvement in the global humanitarian system, Short said, pointing to the U.K. as a potential leader in driving improvements.
"It seems to me that the U.K. could be a leader here, but it would be a different approach to our foreign policy, [which] tends to follow the U.S. foreign policy," Short said. "We could bring something very special to this, given the range of capacities, the seat on the Security Council, the quality of our diplomats and the quality of our development, but it would be a rejigging."
In a white paper produced with the Treasury Department, DfID identified "building resilience, smarter financing and reform, a focus on women and girls and protection of civilians, and international humanitarian law," as action items for the summit.
Short warned, however, that the cross-government strategy for achieving more comprehensive development outcomes should not be taken as a definitive answer to complex questions about the U.K.'s role in international development.
"The assumption in the white paper that because you set up some of the machinery to coordinate Whitehall means that it is well done is not necessarily the case," she told the IDC. "It is about where Britain could play a really important contribution but it would take a rethinking of what is our most important role in the world and that is a big question."
Echoing Minister for International Development Desmond Swayne's commitment last month to leverage the U.K.'s funding power in reforming the international humanitarian system, Short expressed support for focusing reforms on the U.N. system and within "the big international NGOs."
"It is not easy to pull off," she said. "However, we ought to be going for it because it is more efficient and it will achieve more."
Aid for security's sake
With the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's recent redefinition of official development assistance, the U.K. and other donors are directing more aid money to security-related costs. The new U.K. aid strategy, for example, invests more in cross-government funds that combine aid mandates across health, conflict resolution, innovation, business and other sectors.
Cooperation across government on aid priorities is nothing new, Mitchell told Devex. During both Mitchell and Short's tenure as head of DfID, he said, the agency laid groundwork for such coordination, particularly in the areas of peace and conflict resolution.
At the same time, Short indicated that such collaboration wasn't always successful. The Foreign Office "deeply resented" their loss of aid budget control when DfID came into being, Short told the IDC.
"They have superb diplomats. They are not good at managing money," she said, pointing to the conflict pool, a joint funding mechanism to prevent conflicts, which she described as a "useless instrument" and "not very well managed."
Enshrining a cross-government approach in the new U.K. aid strategy — which will see 28 percent of aid spent through other government departments, up from 15 last year — has led some to question whether national interests are playing too great a role in the aid strategy, and could potentially dilute the U.K.'s broader mandate of poverty reduction.
Asked how the shift will protect the world's poorest, Mitchell pointed out that "conflict enshrines poverty. You cannot have development if you have conflict and, therefore, trying to build resilience and governance structures in conflict-prone countries is at the heart of development."
Mitchell and Short both pointed to the crucial role played by the Independent Commission for Aid Impact — the aid watchdog tasked with ensuring aid transparency — in making sure aid distributed across government lives up to DfID's record for transparency.
A new frontier for private investment
One of the former aid chiefs is optimistic about the growth of DfID's private sector arm and the department's potential to shift more of its portfolio into business partnerships and investment.
With close to a $1 billion in new investment from DfID last year and a new mandate to invest only in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, the CDC Group, the DfID-owned development finance institution, is proving a worthwhile experiment for the U.K.'s aid strategy, according to Mitchell.
Microfinance, private sector investment and the CDC combine to create "an extremely powerful development agenda," Mitchell told the IDC, adding that both his and Short's administrations sought to do more with CDC capital as "seed-corn money to encourage business."
"In 50 years' time, I have no doubt that the CDC will be seen as the main British actor in terms of international development, more so than the department," he said.

How Call in Studio Works / FAQ
Why Do I Need a Custom Call-In Number?
Each show must be assigned at least one custom phone number in order to receive calls from listeners. One number can accept multiple, simultaneous calls, according to the limits you set in your show's settings. This is your phone number assigned specifically to your show, so callers are directly connected to your show when they call (so there is no need for callers to bother with PIN codes).
When your show is offline and you are not accepting calls, you can optionally select to take voicemails for your show. To configure this, go to My Shows and click on your show and view the options under 'Offline Action.' The default is set to 'Busy Signal' which means callers will hear a busy signal if they try to call your show's phone number and your show is offline (busy signals are free; for a full discussion of pricing see our Pricing page).
If you want to accept voicemails, you can change this value to 'Record Voicemail' and callers can record a message which you can access under your show's configuration page under My Shows, click on your show, select the 'VMs' option to view/listen/delete voicemails.
You can purchase and assign multiple call-in numbers for one show. Click here to read more.

I have been in contact with some South Africans willing to immigrate to Spain, and from their questions I've seen that there are a couple of things I need to make clear.
Typical South African approach to many things in life is Gung-Ho. Let's do it, Let's do it now. After 25 years of living in the country, I have adopted this philosophy too. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a brilliant strategy for most things in life. But, in the matter of immigration, another approach is needed.
Go Slow
Let me explain. Most of South Africans at the moment are applying for Financial Immigration, selling everything, packing everything, going within weeks of their property being sold. I think this is a completely wrong approach.
First, they haven't properly studied the options. Yes, people are emigrating everywhere, but to Latin America? To change one crime-ridden continent for another? To go from total instability to potential instability? And to rely on the recommendation of the people they don't even know. Sell everything and move? Suicidal. To be completely honest, this is what I've done when I came to South Africa. But I didn't sell everything and I told myself if that doesn't work, I will go back. Plus, I was really young, and thank God, stupid.
Financial emigration can bring you another set of problems. First, it might put you at odds with Tax office, it might cost a lot, it might close the doors of South Africa forever (and we really don't know how it will look in 10, 20 years, although we are guessing now) and you might be forced to buy foreign currency at the worst possible moment. So that is why I think this is a bad way to start your journey, unless, of course, you have to cash your pension, and then, there is no other option.
You don't need another passport
Another thing I want to point out is that there is no need to seek a new passport. Believe it or not, South African is good enough, as long as you have a residency in another country. You can still be South African, and live in Spain for the rest of your life. Once you spend 10 years in Spain, you can apply for citizenship, but there is no real need to do it. Unless you have always dreamed of being a Spaniard. With your residence card you can travel anywhere you want in Europe, and for the rest of the world, the South African passport is good enough. Yes, you might need a visa for the US, but you will get it easily here, not like in Johannesburg, where they take all the watches at the entrance so you don't know how long are you waiting, once inside.
You can have Spanish residence and South African authorities don't need to know about this. First of all, they don't really care. Also, there is no immigration communication between South Africa and Spain, and even if there was one, it is completely normal to be a South African with a Spanish residency. You don't want to worry that one day, somebody would want to revoke your citizenship.
Get yourself two years
Once you decide, OK, this is it, I am going, give yourself 2 years. You can start the residence application straight away, but you will have to travel to Spain first, to open an account and do a couple of other things. You will have to buy or rent a place where you want to live. Get a medical insurance. Then, once you have an account, you can send your money over. You are allowed to send 1.000.000,00 Rand per person as a travel allowance. And that is a lot. So, if you decide to send money in November or December, in a month or two, you can send some again. So it is 4 million in a short amount of time. If you give it another year, it is 6 million. If you have kids, even more. And so on. This you can do via normal agencies (do not go to banks, the will kill you on the exchange rate) like Bidvest, via Internet, paid in a foreign account, with your name, going from your account into your account. It will sort many money laundering issues Europe might have. There might be even cheaper ways to send money, but I can only talk from my experience.
The advantage of this system is that you haven't emigrated financially, just moved some money overseas – you are not on anybody's radar. It means that you can come back to South Africa whenever you want, because you haven't really left, and you can be a resident of another country. You can keep your South African bank accounts and what is even more interesting, keep getting income paid into those accounts (if you have any), either by renting your existing house or other properties. Hell, you can immigrate just for a year, and see if you like it, and if you decide it is not for you, you can come back to your house in South Africa.
Once in Spain, there are other interesting options. As this is a normal, First World country, normal rules apply. You can buy the property, you can buy the business, you can do many things. Now, this is another interesting thing: as a foreigner, if you have enough income in South Africa, you can even get a mortgage. It will not be huge, you can probably get 40% of the price, maybe even 50%, but, the interest rate in Europe is about 1.6% at the moment. And the property value in Spain is rising, in the worst areas of Valencia, about 5-10%, in best up to 15% a year. Rents are rising even faster. And it is not a bubble, because the prices are still about 20-50% lower from their peaks. You can do your math from here.
Learn a language
Another point I want to make is a language. It will take you about a year and a half to get grips on it. I am almost there, of course still far from perfect, but after a year on Duolingo only, I can communicate well enough. It takes about an hour daily. If you can get some private lessons on top of it, even better. But, don't believe people when they say – you don't need a language. There are some groups on the Internet that are promoting strange countries with many serious lies, and the most important one is about the language. If you are coming to Spain to retire, sure, you will not need Spanish, there are so many immigrants, and most of them are English-speaking. But if you want to start a business, maybe get a job later, you need to start your Spanish now. After all, it is a beautiful language, and I am proud that I managed to get this far.
So, this is why I am suggesting a soft option of Immigrating instead of IMMIGRATING. Yes, come to Spain, it is a beautiful country and you will not regret it, but do it slowly. Get your ducks in a row, make a plan B, and then, it will look much easier.

Following rounds in Argentina and Portugal, the WRC visits another country where rallying is practically a religion. Italy drivers and manufacturers have played a key role in the history of the World Championship since it was founded. On the WRC calendar, the legendary Rallye Sanremo was replaced by Rally Italia Sardegna in 2004. The competitors were introduced to road surfaces and conditions that were very different to those on the Italian Riviera.
On the Mediterranean island, the stages are incredibly demanding, for the drivers, cars and tyres alike. The narrow and twisty gravel roads are surrounded by thick vegetation, hiding the large rocks that the drivers are well advised to avoid hitting with their wheels. As the ground is invariably covered with a thick layer of sand and dust, the running order tends to be of critical importance on the first pass on the stages. The challenge is different again on the second run: the drivers have to cope with ruts that become deeper as more cars complete, as well as the bedrocks that can become exposed… almost anywhere! Bearing in mind that temperatures may approach 30°C during the weekend, it is easy to see why many crews are apprehensive about this seventh round.
The rally is due to kick off on Thursday evening, with the ceremonial start in Alghero and a 2km-long super special stage. The cars then cross the island, from the west to the east coast, stopping in Olbia for the night. Following this transfer, the crews will tackle the daunting stages of Terranova and Monte Olia on Friday. Saturday features the fullest programme, including the long Monti di Ala' and Monte Lerno speed tests. This final stage includes the famous Micky's Jump, a popular meeting point for the Italian rally fans and one of the event's highlights! Contested without a service break, Sunday's final leg is something of a sprint finish, with just four short stages.

text: Signed quilts were inspired by autograph albums, a kind of keepsake that became widespread in the United States beginning in the 1820s. Visitors, friends, and loved ones were remembered in the book with an inspirational phrase or rhyme, sometimes a small drawing, and of course a signature. In fact, magazines such as the popular Godey's Lady's Book began offering messages and poems to use in autograph albums. And if you weren't satisfied with your own handwriting, you could buy metal stencils or signature stamps to leave a better impression.

Two Morgan County Sheriff's Deputies collided head-on with another vehicle around 7:40 p.m. on Thursday, September 6. Deputies Caleb Brooks and Danny Kelso were taken to the hospital along with the three people in the other vehicle.
The driver of the other vehicle was a 17-year-old male travelling Westbound on County Road 55. He failed to yield while turning left onto Huckaby Bridge Road and collided head on with the deputies.
A witness claims that the vehicle was moving at a high speed. The State Trooper determined that the vehicle was moving aggressively and had attempted to beat the oncoming vehicle by turning left in front of it.
Narcotics were discovered at the scene, and further investigation is pending.

The Tool and the Tool-Maker: The Stories of Vermont Quaker Wheelwright Samuel Morison with Nora Rubinstein
What stories do our tools tell about craft, culture and community? A spinning wheel bought at auction began a search for its maker. Five years later, a simple tool has become emblematic of a complex American story of the way women's and men's roles and identities were challenged by the Industrial Revolution. Nora Rubinstein will discuss the ways in which cultural change is revealed in the flax wheels and great wheels of this Vermont tool maker. Free & open to everyone.
Nora Rubinstein studies the way people feel about the places they live, work, learn and heal. Trained in Environmental Psychology, she has spent nearly 40 years studying the manner in which we find places of belonging in our homes, communities and landscapes. Her current research on material culture focuses on the manner in which an object can teach and tell stories about the people who crafted and used it.

I give you a person dedicated to the good things of life, to the gentle, the heartfelt things, to good living, and to the kindly rites with which it is surrounded. In all the clash of a plangent world he holds firm to his ideal – a gracious existence in that country of content "where slower clocks strike happier hours."
Standing in a broad doorway, open wide with welcome and with a hospitable Bourbon glass in hand, watching a thoroughbred mare and her colt prancing across meadows of rippling bluegrass, stands an American patriot. Generous in spirit as well as action and proud in the traditions of Kentucky.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Kentucky Colonel.
In 1936, New York advertising agency owner Colonel Arthur Kudner wrote a toast to Kentucky colonels. The toast was quickly adopted by the Honorable Order, and it was widely published for use by colonels. The toast has since been ceremoniously presented at each of the Kentucky Colonels' Derby Eve Banquets.

I would like to discuss
our research
Basically, when people say that their efficiency cannot be measured, be aware that they're simply lying to you…
We know it very well, as our track record of almost 10, 000 cases has a striking, 98% mark of precise projections across the board of different industries and business sectors!
Food Industry
This industry is among the most competitive and globalized of all business sectors. And if you want an example of that, just hear out that one of our recent market research shows that many of America's best-known food packagers, such as Heinz, get 30%, 50% and even higher percentages of their total revenues from outside the U.S
Renewable Energy
Just a few decades ago the renewable energy sources were considered to be hugely inferior to the fossil fuels, both in its development, pricing and prospectives. Year 2016 could not have proven to be more of a contrast to that notion. The new developments in the alternative energy industry are improving in technology and efficiency.
Just to give you an understanding of the scale, think that the total number of people using the Internet has reached nearly 3 billion—many are on smartphones. China holds the world's highest number of Internet users, far more than the U.S. Meanwhile, the number of American homes and businesses with broadband Internet access…
Insurance Industry
The modern insurance industry is getting globalized even quicker than the experts were anticipating a few years ago. This happens mostly due to a fact that the cross-border investments and acquisitions change the overall situation in this business field. Better risk management, specialty insurance products and increased use of underwriting…
Investment Industry
While investments are considered to be safer in 2016-2017, than let's say in 2008-2009, still the investment industry is reeling from massive changes and challenges. Privately held wealth funds have amassed trillions of dollars for investment goals. Markets, from commodities to stocks to debt instruments and conventional bonds, are all the subjects of some…
Real Estate & Construction
While it is a fact that the real estate and construction sectors were hit hard by the Great Recession of 2008-09, 8 years later these markets have rebounded significantly, which is a trend across the globe today.

Our home has gone through another change, we have said goodbye to our Little Bear Cub. It was an honor to be his Mama these past seven months. People always ask me how I let them go, some "goodbyes" are easier than others.
This time we got to transition him from our home to his Aunt's home. The woman who raised him the first nine months of his life, the one he first knew as Mama. The past seven months she was still a huge part of his life and we fought to keep their relationship strong.
She is his anchor, he is at peace and settled when he is with her. He is joyful and giggly. He adores her and she him.
He taught me a lot, our home is a sanctuary for many but I have learned it is not always the best home or the forever home. Our home was a home, he had a family and a Mama who loves him but now it is time for us to say so long and send him to the home where he can have permanency and doesn't have to share so much attention a home where he has a future.
Much Love to our Bear Cub, we are excited to watch you grow. The picture of you at Halloween in your alligator costume hangs on the wall and makes us smile. Tonight we talked about you at dinner and how we miss your laugh and those cheeks! We love you!!!

Night of Heroes: October 9, 2017 5:30 to 7:30. We have LOTS of fun Heroes (local and super) coming to visit us, food trucks, silent auction, face paint, fun activities and lots, lots more. This is the last week to turn in new items for the theme baskets. If you do not know your class theme, please ask the teachers.
Pick up and Drop Off: We have had some problems with parents parking in the pick up/drop off area. We remind you again to please not park in this area before or after school, including during preschool and kindergarten start and end times. If you need to get out of your car for any reason we kindly ask you to park in a marked parking stall and come in to the school. If there is an empty space in front of you while you are waiting to pick up or drop off your students we also ask that you continue to pull forward, filling the void in space. Please note that the pick up/drop off lane is a single deep lane. The other portion of this lane is for a pull-through only. Do not stop or park in the pull through lane. In keeping to this procedure will help keep the flow of traffic moving along so we do not back up into the street more than necessary. Thank you for your help in keeping our students safe in this particular area before and after school.
School Tshirts: This is the last chance to order Taylor Hero Tshirts. If you are having a hard time doing this online, please come into the school and we will help. http://www.colorpointpromo.com/taylor/
School Registration Donations: We want to give a big THANK YOU to all the parents who generously paid your students registration donation this year. As you may or may not know, these donations are used to fund field trips and activities that go above and beyond the regular classroom experiences. If you did not have a chance to pay a donation please know that you can do this at any time. We have asked for a $20 per student donation if you choose to participate. Again, thank you to those families who have supported the efforts of Taylor Elementary in this matter.

You've Come To Church...Now What?
Ecclesiastes 5:1-7
Skip Heitzig
|Ecclesiastes 5 (NKJV™)
|Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.
|Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.
|For a dream comes through much activity, And a fool's voice is known by his many words.
|When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed--
|Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.
|Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?
|For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.
New King James Version®, Copyright © 1982, Thomas Nelson, Inc. All rights reserved.
Think about it: Its 2001, and here you are in church...again! Why? What are you doing here? Now, I'm not trying to discourage you from attending, nor do I want you to turn on your heels and high-tail it out of here. But I do want you to think about why you're here, what happens to you while you are here, and what happens afterwards. The beginning of this New Year is a good time to consider the value of commitments we have made.
In Ecclesiastes, Solomon delves into the hard issues of life, and attempts to find satisfactory answers that avert despair. Pastor Skip Heitzig examines Solomon's search for meaning.

|Thanks to a series of articles appearing in the Reminder through the last article appearing in the Sept. 1 edition, the Longmeadow Lions club, holding an orientation meeting at the American Legion Hall in Longmeadow, we were successful in attracting 12 people, including three former district governors, to our meeting. They were enthusiastic and animated in their remarks and hopes for the revival and new future for the club, in existence for the forseeable future.
We have the nucleus of the making of a dynamic and growing club. I also received a list of five new prospective members, and to those who attended the meeting and those who express an interest in joining and want to hear more about the club, please contact Dick Holmes, 120 Hawthorne St., Longmeadow, MA 01106, or at 567-7342. I have no e-mail or fax number, etc., but I will extend to you a welcome voice.

About Financial Aid at Cedar River Montessori
What is Cedar River Montessori School's financial aid policy?
The Cedar River Montessori School (CRMS) Board of Directors is dedicated to cultivating a community that intentionally practices diversity, equity, and inclusion. Financial aid offers support to families where needed and provides more equitable access to a Cedar River Montessori education. The CRMS Financial Aid Committee offers aid to students based on school policies, demonstrated financial need and available funds.
How do I apply for financial aid?
Cedar River Montessori School uses a secure, online system hosted by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) School and Student Services (SSS). The financial aid application deadline for the 2020-2021 academic year is Wednesday, February 26, 2020.

Our little project
The basic idea is quite simple. We wanted to develop the idea of what a classroom poster about mathematics is. We wanted to create images about the kind of mathematics that students will actually encounter at school, and we wanted them to be both lovely to look at and thoughtfully designed so as to provoke questions and curiosity about the ideas they are showing. We both like the idea that classrooms and/or school corridors deserve to be cared for and thoughtfully decorated so as to create environments that people take pride in and are conducive to what is supposed to happen in schools. Of course, on the surface, art can be a matter of taste and below the surface contain a world of intention and not everyone is going to see it the same way. Honestly, we see these posters helping to make schools look nice, we see students walking past or staring at them and not thinking about it at all at first, but we hope that bit by bit they might make connections with things that happen in their classrooms and provoke some curiosity and activity. Perhaps teachers will use the images as inspiration for classroom activity, perhaps they will just put them on the wall and see what happens. We have made ten for now, but there are more in production and an endless source of ideas.
We hope you like what we have done and that you'll consider adding some of this thoughtful curiosity to your walls.
About us
Pierre and Jim have been good friends for many years. Jim is a mathematics teacher at the International school of Toulouse and Pierre is a primary school teacher in the Gers. (The great undiscovered secret of the South of France) and part time graphic artist. Pierre is the artist and Jim is the Mathematician. After years of subjecting Pierre to stories about the wonder that is mathematics, they came up with the idea to merge their interests. They can talk for a long time about mathematical ideas and then Pierre will go away and explore ways to provoke thought about this idea in an image. We have some terrific discussions about mathematics and the posters.
Ce n'est pas comme avec Jim, Pierre n'a pas toujours été très ami avec les maths ! Mais après quelques moments de vacances passés ensemble, Jim a réussi à le convaincre de la beauté caché des maths. Si Pierre avait pu être séduit alors des milliers d'élèves pouvaient l'être aussi. Voilà un pari passionnant à relever : tenter de révéler la beauté de la nature mathématique !

When used effectively, microphone balance can be useful when it comes to adding depth and focus to your compositions. In this article we'll be looking into how you can combine some of these microphones to not only enhance your compositions, but to give you a better understanding of the Mic Mixer in general. The final intention being that you can then confidently adjust the mixer to your own personal preference.
By default, the SSO has 3 microphone positions: Close, Decca Tree & Ambient.
With the professional editions, you will get access to some extra microphones: Outriggers, Close Ribbons, Stereo Pairs & Galleries. As well as this you'll also receive the Jake Jackson stereo mixes, which are pre-mixed combinations.
Note: Currently the additional microphones are only available in Chamber Strings Professional, with Symphonic Strings, Woodwinds and Brass Professional coming at a later date.
Microphone Information
Also known as "Spots", this signal will give you closest sound to the instruments. You will hear significantly less of the hall, with much more detail, focus and 'bite'.
The default microphone in most Spitfire libraries. The Decca Tree is situated high above the conductors head, giving a strong representation of the hall and room, whilst maintaining instrument focus and great imaging.
Placed at the back of the room, these microphones will give a great amount of the hall, perfect for adding ambiance and depth to your mix in combination with other microphones.
Sometimes referred to as "Boosters", Outriggers have slightly more distance in comparison to the Decca Tree signal, but with significantly more natural width. These are particularly good on Strings and Brass due to their position on the sound stage.
Almost identical to the Close in placement, but instead using a ribbon microphone - producing a much warmer and well rounded tone.
Somewhat similar to the Decca Tree and Outriggers in sound, but with less direct focus than the Tree, and not as much width in comparison to the Outriggers.
Recorded way up in the galleries, these microphones give the absolute greatest amount of room possible, a huge representation of the AIR Lyndhurst hall!
Unique only to Symphonic Strings, this microphone is placed close to the leader of the section, capturing a direct signal with minimal ambiance. Think of this as the leader's spot mic.
The AIR Lyndhurst Hall & Placement
Getting Started With Combinations
The best way to explain combinations would most likely be in the form of audio examples, so we'll work with a small snippet from a composition written using only the SSO. The snippet uses each family and can hopefully display the vast differences and combinations you can achieve through the mic mixer. Take the below examples with a pinch of salt, I say this because depending on the context of your writing, the mix could be very different. Think of it as an initial guide to how microphones can influence a mix, and as with most things music - trust your ears!
An important note when combining and balancing microphones is to imagine where the "focus" is in your composition. Do you have a solo Flute line that needs some clarity? Do you want your percussion to sit as far back in the mix as possible? Maybe it is both! A good starting point is to listen to a composition that is similar in style to your own, and really try to 'hear' where the instruments are sitting in the mix. Whilst microphones often cannot achieve all of this alone, they can certainly give you a good starting point!
Try to use one 'main' microphone, and to dial in others as secondary. Some examples of what are considered main microphone contenders are: Decca Tree, Stereo Pair, and Outriggers. Secondary microphones fall under Close, Ambient, Outriggers (for natural width), Gallery, and Leaders. As a starting point, use one main microphone and dial in others at around -6dB. From there adjust to your taste!
Example I: Standard Mix
This mix focuses more on the standard sound that you'd expect in most film scores. The mix has a great sense of room and distance, but still maintains a good amount of clarity in all key areas of the composition. The main microphones used are Tree and Outriggers, however some instruments such as the Harp can benefit from additional Close signal.
Example II: Close Mix
If you are intending to use much more of your own reverb and want to remove the hall, it's safe to say that a Close signal would be your best option. The Close mics are by far the 'driest' available in the SSO, thus allowing you to apply more of your own verb without completely washing out your mix. It's worth noting that the Close mics are understandably more narrow in comparison to the others, so dialing in some of the 'roomier' mics is still recommended!
Example III: Distant Mix
This mix is perhaps a more extreme example of the distant sounding microphones available. It is very wet by nature, and not as focused as the previous examples. Whilst this example does give a great representation of the Air Lyndhurst hall, it will probably sound a little too ambient for most people!
Taking what we know from the examples above, I spent some time with the SSO attempting to use these methods to create a mock-up of some already existing John Williams pieces. The great thing about mocking up a real piece is that it can train your ears to 'hear' the balance, and can also help in setting up your template for use in the future.
In the below "Dartmoor, 1912" example, the microphone balance is using mainly Outriggers and Ambient microphones. Whereas the "Leaving Hogwarts" mock-up is mainly Tree and Outriggers.
You can listen to the mock-ups below:
One more final thing to note: this truly does come down to personal preference. Some people much prefer a closer mix, whereas some prefer a distant mix. The real goal is to trust what sounds good to you. There are no rules here, experiment and have fun.
Technical Tips & Tricks
By default, each microphone is assigned to a CC number, meaning that you can control these through faders or on your MIDI Controller. Using automation on microphones can be very useful, and many of the great engineers (such as Shawn Murphy) will often 'ride' certain microphone signals where needed. The CC values for these microphones are as follows:
Close / CC22
Tree / CC23
Ambient / CC24
Outrigger / CC25
Close Ribbon / CC26
Stereo Pair / CC27
Gallery / CC28
Another handy tool built into the interface is that you can choose to pan and enhance the stereo image of the microphones. Above the mic mixer, selecting this icon on your interface will open up stereo width and pan, select the microphone you'd like to change and then edit away!
Another helpful tool on the interface is the ability to assign individual microphones to different outputs within Kontakt, which can come in very useful if you'd like some extra control over signals when mixing. You can access this by simply right-clicking the respective letter beneath the faders.
When an articulation is selected, you can 'save' a specific microphone mix to it by selecting this icon on the interface. Handy when it comes to things such as dialling more close signal into your short articulations for more bite.
You can use certain keys on your computer whilst dragging the sliders to change the way they behave.
Shift: More precise control whilst dragging.
ALT: Prevents the microphone from loading/purging.
Ctrl/Cmd: Reset to 100% levels upon release.
Q: Should I still use Reverb with all these mics loaded?
A: Whilst in some of the more 'distant' mixes you may not feel you need to, you absolutely can. A little extra 'glue' reverb can go a long way!
Q: Following this, which reverbs would you recommend for use with the Spitfire Symphonic Orchestra?
A: Christian Henson recommends "VSS3 Native" by TC Electronic, whereas Jake Jackson often favours the "Worcester Hall" preset in Altiverb. Another great choice is "Seventh Heaven Professional" from LiquidSonics. We do have a couple of handy YouTube videos on the subject, which can be found here and here.
Q: I'm limited when it comes to CPU power and/or RAM, is there a workaround?
A: There are multiple ways that you can approach this, perhaps one of the more popular would be to use a 'freeze' and 'unload' function in your DAW once you've activated the microphones. Another option is to export the stems separately for each microphone, and then do the mixing/balancing in another session - as would be done with a real orchestral mix!
Q: Where can I hear some more examples of the SSO balanced with the microphone mixer?
A: Andy Blaney is well known for using only microphone mixes in his Spitfire demos. Look out for his demos on the product pages, as well as on the official SoundCloud page here.

A garden in Aix-en-Provence, backing on to several houses and apartment buildings, contains an ancient fountain said to stop flowing when an unnatural and undeserved death has occurred. It was the site of a seventeenth-century hanging and two World War II-era murders. Now Sigisbert "Bear" Valets, a young up-and-coming chef who trained in London, wants to expand his popular restaurant to offer garden seating, and he is getting a mixture of complaints and support from his neighbors. He is digging near the fountain when a skeleton is discovered, said to have been there about 8 years. And the fountain, of course, stops flowing. Are the two things connected?
The Curse of La Fontaine is the 6th book in a series about Antoine Verlaque, an investigative judge (a position that doesn't exist in the American criminal justice system), and Marine Bonnet, a law professor. They are getting married as the story opens, both of them coming to marriage a bit older and more cynical, but excited none-the-less. They have practical things to consider; should they keep both their apartments and if so why, how much to let querulous parents into their lives. And now they have a mystery to solve.
The book takes us into French society, dealing with everyone from aristocrats to African immigrants who arrived as stowaways on commercial vessels, with people who are an active and willing part of a diverse society and people who think themselves above it. While maintaining firmly a real sense of place, recreating local streets and alleys, views and scents, it also manages to look at issues facing people around the world–everything from ecological responsibility to immigration to friendships that endure from childhood to deciding who does and who doesn't "belong."
Reviews of the book emphasize its sense of place and call it a "foodie" novel. I didn't really find it that way, although many meals are mentioned in loving detail. But what I loved about the book were the complex characters and a realistic view of modern French society in all of its contradictions and complexities. Admittedly, I only lived in France for a year, but thanks to being in an unusually friendly area for France and having elementary-age kids, we made lots of friends and spent many evenings in French homes, and I feel like I met some of these people! Not literally, of course, but author M.L. Longworth obviously knows whereof she writes. Several reviewers on Amazon said they love this series but found this one a little slower. That would be my one complaint, and it's really very minor, so I'll be looking for the 5 previous books in the series. A truly lovely book for a summer afternoon, preferably with a verre in hand!
