Vanessa Hudgens's startling makeover
See this side-by-side image of Vanessa Hudgens and a disillusioned youth? Believe it or not, they are one and the same! It's the "High School Musical" hottie totally transformed, sporting shorter hair and tomboy layers to play a troubled teen in the upcoming film "Gimme Shelter."
"I'm so excited and proud of the work I've been doing and let me tell you, you all are going to be SHOCKED with how I look in this movie," Hudgens posted on her Facebook page earlier this week. "It's crazy sauce."
"Gimme Shelter," which filmed in Newark, N.J., on Thursday, wraps up production next week. The drama's premise is heavier and more realistic than Hudgens' usual fare: the 22-year-old portrays a pregnant teen who becomes homeless when her white-collar, Wall Street dad (Brendan Fraser) disagrees with her decision to have the baby.
(Sounds like the anti-"Juno.")
Could this could be her big break as a serious actress?

Helen Rogers King, the mother of my husband, Michael, had Alzheimer's for sixteen years. We watched her pass from a vibrant mother of four men to a woman who did not even know her husband. She and Captain David L. G. King met at the Shipyard Commander's office on Mare Island, between San Francisco and Oakland CA. Captain King's ship was undergoing repair shortly after the Pearl Harbor attack. They were married one month later.
Helen, a Protestant, regularly took her four sons to church. Despite this observance, she was a woman who never discussed her faith. She likely viewed religion as a private affair. So when she died, it suddenly hit me that I truly did not know if she had made Jesus the King of her heart or not.
Jesus did, beyond a shadow of a doubt, reign in the heart and mind of Mabel Riggs Dunfee, a Presbyterian from West Virginia and my grandmother. If I had to put my finger on someone who shaped my life through her faithful prayers, it would be her. Even today, when I see a pink sky, my thoughts recall how Mabel wanted to float away on a pink cloud when she died. Well she did just about float away on a cloud when she passed away at nearly 102; so each pink sky reminds me of her presence near me and her prayers for me.
When Helen died, I needed to know that she was with Jesus, but I did not know how I could find out. As I knew Mabel was in heaven, I tried an experiment to prove Helen's location via my daughter Hannah. Hannah, our third child, was at Eastern Washington University near Spokane WA, and I was very concerned about her spiritual condition. Without knowing much about The Communion of Saints, as I was not a Catholic at the time, I said to Mabel, "If Helen is up there with you, I want the two of you to get together and pray that Hannah will ask Jesus into her heart." Within two weeks, Hannah made Jesus her Savior and I knew that Helen was now part of the Communion of Saints.
So when I came into the Catholic Church in 2009, I began to understand that I have an army of prayer warriors. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states it thus: 956– Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness…. They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus…. So by their fraternal concern is our weakness greatly helped." Or as St. Dominic, dying to his brothers stated, "Do not weep, for I shall be more useful to you after my death and I shall help you then more effectively than during my life"
When people ask me to pray for them, I immediately turn the prayers over to my Blessed Mother as I would to our stockbroker. She is my constant prayer warrior on duty at all times. Yes, I will write the prayers down in my little prayer book, and I will say them as I pray my Rosary, but I know that Mary will be constantly praying for that person's needs. What a comfort!! I know too that it says in Revelation 5:8 (RSV) "And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints…." What is in those bowls except the prayers which we ask the saints to pray for us. Just because my grandmother Mabel isn't on this earth anymore doesn't mean she isn't still praying; she surely is, and her prayers are helping fill those bowls.
Giving those prayers to the Communion of Saints, so great a cloud of witnesses, reminds me of the beautiful statue of The Blessed Mother that Mrs. Betsy Miller gave my fifth child for her first communion. At the bottom of the statue is a little drawer where one can place prayers. When I hand my prayers to Our Blessed Mother and to The Communion of Saints, my concerns are constantly being offered up, and I can live each day more fully for Him.
The little drawer for prayers being constantly offered up.

This year marks the bicentenary of Jane Austen's death, at the age of 41. What sort of Christian was this imaginative and highly intelligent woman? Jane was both the daughter and sister of clergymen. Her father, George Austen – "the handsome Proctor" – was vicar of the 12th-century church at Steventon in Hampshire.Share
At a time of Deism, near unbelief, notorious laxity, latitudinarianism and absentee parish clergy, George was a devout and faithful country parson who lived among his people and cared for them. Jane and her sisters sewed and provided clothes for the local poor. It's worth noting that she was granted burial in the north aisle in Winchester Cathedral not on account of her undoubted literary stature – for she published her novels anonymously – but because of her charitable work in the local churches.
While George Eliot flirted with the sensual "enthusiasm" of the Wesleyan revival – we think of Dinah, the exotic young woman preacher in Adam Bede – Austen was altogether quieter. She was not remotely doctrinal or sacramental. She does not have anything in common with Dickens's sentimentalisation of Christianity. She was not the sort of Protestant who protests against anything. She was Low Church: the common sense and very English version of Christianity summed up by the words "Do as you would be done by."
As a satirist, Austen is up there with Jonathan Swift and Evelyn Waugh. She mocked the worldly clergy – but then she lampooned everybody in her renowned tone of kindly acerbity. Among her most memorable creations is the odious and obsequious parson William Collins in Pride and Prejudice. But throughout the novels she shows a benign affection for the Church of England, which in her day was the dominant presence in the countryside.
Her first biographers referred to her as "good, quiet Aunt Jane". She had little understanding of how hard it was to be a Catholic in England in her day, and she died 12 years before the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829. Austen wrote: "The soul is of no sect, no party: it is our passions and our prejudices, which give rise to our religious distinctions." (Read more.)

The holiday season might be over but the frosty chill is still in the air in January. Winter is glum if you are from north India, but that does not mean one has to stay put in the most dull clothes ever. Staying stylish in every season matters. Even if you are just buying a hot chocolate from Starbucks, you do not have to look like a potatoe sack.
If anything Gossip Girl taught us was to dress to impress in any occasion. Be it funeral or even weddings, the characters from Gossip Girl had high fashion standards. Their winter wardrobe and fashion statements surelygave us fashion goals. Well, one does not have to buy the high fashion brands, but the style can be incorporated in our own style during winter. Take a clue from the these Gossip Girl characters who added the style quotient in the winter months:
Blair Waldorf
Blair Waldorf is all about staying elegant and classy even in the winter chill. Blair Waldorf is the royalty of fashion. She stays blue-blooded even during the winters. Her coats and capes are of different hues and shades just like her erratic personality. Her winter fashion surely proves that winter should not be glum. She sways through New york in her bright green and red trench coats and capes. Blair is always classic in her style. So tights and gloves are essential accessories in her winter wardrobe.
Serena Van der Woodsen
The "It girl " always keeps it simple and stylish. Serena seems to have a carefree approach to her winter wardrobe. She sports trendy but earthy toned jackets and coats completed by long scarfs and calf-lengthed leather boots. Serena's style is easy incorporate for any girl next door who has a good leather jacket and boots..
Jenny Humphrey
Not from the upper-east side though, the Brooklyn gothic Barbie tried to incorporate Blair's fashion into her own style. Jenny rocked the winter fashion with a plaid trench coats and bright berets, but later she develops her own style which is goth chic in winter. Her winter wardrobe is accompanied by short dresses and dull colour trench coats in the shades of black or grey with smoky eyes, she even made the glum look fashionable with her attitude.
Vanessa Abrams
Vanessa is the person who will most Indian girls relate. She is not into high fashion. Most of our clothes are from a vintage thrift store. Nevertheless, she manages to look chic in winter. She wears bright printed trench coats and simple boots. Her winter style has a boho touch of earrings and bangles. She even makes a poncho look really chic.
Lily Van Der Woodsen
Well, with Lily, gossip girl covers the middle –aged women who want to look stylish in winters. Lily and Serena have similar winter fashion wardrobe. However, Lily accessorizes it beautifully with silk scarves. Being a mother, she tries to add the elegance in her winter wear with diamond jewelry. She gives all mothers some serious fashion goals.

On this collection, we'll try to type out complicated subjects corresponding to Docker Engine Enterprise Edition (EE) vs. Docker Enterprise, Docker Engine Group Version (CE) vs. Docker Desktop, dockerd vs. docker vs. containerd vs. runc, and so on.

We'll also try to perceive the present state of Docker on Windows by demystifying the variations between the Docker experience on Windows and Linux. In in the present day's article, we'll start with launching our first Windows container on Windows Server 2019, and along the best way, we'll undergo a number of the current points of Docker on Windows.
When Docker first released a containerization product, they started with Linux as a base platform. In 2014, Docker and Microsoft announced partnership to offer a consistent platform to construct, ship, and run any software. On Windows Server 2016, Docker and Microsoft got here out with container know-how that offered a constant experience throughout both Linux and Windows Server environments.
In 2017, they launched Docker Swarm with the power to create combined Windows Server and Linux clusters. In 2018, this launch adopted with added help for the Semi-Annual Channel (SAC) Windows Server 1709 and 1803 variations. With Windows Server 2019 (the 1809 build), Microsoft managed to deliver the containers to Windows on par with containers on Linux methods.
At current, hundreds of enterprise clients are extensively utilizing Docker on Windows in manufacturing environments. Nevertheless, there's all the time been a delicate performance difference between Windows containers and Linux containers. Microsoft Windows Server is closing that hole quickly with new releases.
Install the Hyper-V function ^
On Windows platforms, you'll be able to run containers in two modes: course of isolation and Hyper-V isolation. In process isolation mode, containers share the OS kernel with the host and therefore are light-weight and just like how containers work on Linux techniques.
Conversely, in Hyper-V isolation mode, each container runs inside a particular minimal virtual machine. Thus, it supplies safe kernel-level isolation and enhanced compatibility. You'll want to enable Hyper-V within the host OS to run containers in Hyper-V isolation mode.
Once we set up Docker on a Windows server, the default mode of operation is process isolation. And enabling Hyper-V is non-compulsory. Nevertheless, if we have to run Linux containers, enabling Hyper-V is required.
The second factor that determines whether to go for the Hyper-V function is the OS build. Windows containers have to have the same construct version because the model of the container host OS they run on. Container photographs tagged as 1809 would work on the newest 1809 Windows version builds. Nevertheless, if we've got constructed container photographs on a lower model of Windows than the container host OS, we will run these containers with Hyper-V isolation, which requires enabling Hyper-V.
You possibly can set up Hyper-V on Windows Server utilizing the PowerShell command under:
Install-WindowsFeature -Identify Hyper-V -IncludeManagementTools -Restart
Install-WindowsFeature -Identify Hyper-V -IncludeManagementTools -Restart
Additionally, we need to notice right here that we will change between course of isolation and Hyper-V isolation during runtime using the parameter isolation whereas spinning up Docker containers.
Container host conditions ^
Though this text's scope is for Windows Server 2019 (1809), the steps demonstrated here might also very nicely apply to different Windows Server builds, including Windows Server version 1803, Windows Server model 1709, and Windows Server 2016.
If you wish to use Hyper-V isolation in your container, you might want to allow virtualization in the hosting platform. If the container host is operating on hardware, you'll want to enable the hardware virtualization function, corresponding to Intel VT-x, in BIOS. And if the container host is operating from Hyper-V or from a cloud setting, it's essential enable nested virtualization within the base platform.
Install the containers function ^
For containerization to work, you might want to install the Windows container function on the Windows container host. Use the command under to put in the containers function and reboot the computer.
Install-WindowsFeature containers -Restart
Install-WindowsFeature containers -Restart
Install Docker ^
Docker consists of two main elements: the Docker engine and the Docker shopper. The Docker engine is on the market in two editions: Docker Engine CE and Docker Engine EE. The Docker Engine CE is a free product. Conversely, the Docker Engine EE requires a license. The diagram under illustrates the architectural difference between the two.
From a user-experience perspective, Docker supplies two units of products or packaged bundles: specifically, Docker Desktop and Docker Enterprise.
As for Docker Desktop Group/Enterprise, they designed this product set contemplating developers and a improvement setting in thoughts. Docker Desktop offers an installation wizard, a administration UI, and a number of other different utilities for enhancing deployment. Docker Desktop is supported on Windows 10 and Mac. Docker Desktop comes with the Docker Engine CE or EE relying on the product tier we select.
Docker targets its enterprise product suite towards production environments. This consists of the Docker enterprise engine together with its certified plug-ins, well-integrated product line, and trusted repositories. General, it aligns with the enterprise necessities for use in a manufacturing surroundings.
On this article, we're going to install Docker Engine EE on Windows Server 2019. To get the complete performance of the EE edition, we have to purchase the EE license from Docker.
The process for installing Docker EE on Windows Server is sort of simple with the introduction of the OneGet provider PowerShell Module. As a first step, install the Docker-Microsoft PackageManagement Supplier module from the PowerShell Gallery.
Install-Module -Identify DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Drive
Install-Module -Identify DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Drive
We will use the commands under to view the installed package deal supplier and the Docker package deal made obtainable via it.
Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailableget-packagesource -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider
Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailableget-packagesource -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider
Next, we'll use the PackageManagement PowerShell module command Install-Package deal to put in the newest model of Docker.
Install-Package deal -Identify docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider
Install-Package deal -Identify docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider
Docker verification ^
After putting in the Docker package deal and we've our command prompt back, we need to start the Docker service using the command under.
Once we run the Docker service for the primary time, it creates a digital change/interface viewable by way of our Control Panel pane.
Also, we will verify the Docker virtual community creation using the Docker command under. The default identify of the bridge or change in a Windows setting is NAT.
This digital change lays the inspiration of networking for containers to communicate with each other as well as speak with the container host.
Subsequent, we will run the Docker model command to examine the small print of our deployment setup. We will confirm the Docker engine and shopper version from the command output.
And lastly, to verify the Docker client-engine communication is working positive and set up is complete, run the command docker information. This supplies us with system metadata together with the present container stats.
Launch a Windows container on Windows Server 2019 ^
Now that we now have completed the installation and verified every thing is working smoothly, it's time to run our first Windows container on Docker.
Right here we need to contemplate two elements. First, we will create Windows container photographs with 4 container base pictures: Windows Server Core, Nano Server, Windows, and IoT Core.
Once we spin a container from these pictures, we have to confirm the compatibility between the container host OS and the container base image. In other phrases, containers based mostly on Windows Server Core, Nano Server, or Windows as the base image can run on a Windows 2019 container host. Nevertheless, a container based mostly on an IoT Core picture can't run on Windows Server 2019. An IoT Core container requires Windows IoT Core as a container host.
Second, to repeat, Windows containers have to match the model of the container host OS. Container pictures with the 1809 tag work with the newest Windows variations. Nevertheless, if we've got container photographs built on a decrease version of Windows than the container host OS, we will run these containers with Hyper-V isolation
Contemplating these two elements, let's verify the construct version of our container host.
Because the container host build version is 1809, let's try to download a Nano Server picture from the Microsoft picture/container registry to the native machine.
docker image pull mcr.microsoft.com/home windows/nanoserver:1809
docker picture pull mcr.microsoft.com/home windows/nanoserver:1809
We will confirm the regionally out there image along with its metadata info, akin to measurement, picture ID, and creation date.
We will use the downloaded picture for baking our software into it and creating a new container. However for simplicity, let's launch a primary container that may run just a simple command inside the OS and exit.
docker container run mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:1809 hostname
docker container run mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:1809 hostname
This command created a brand new container from the Windows Nano Server image, and the container outputted the machine identify of the container, a random ID set by Docker. To see more details about the container we created just now, run the command under.
Thus, we now have launched a Windows container on Windows Server 2019, contemplating a few of the elements for Docker on Windows. In the next article, we'll talk about Linux containers on Windows (LCOW), LinuxKit, Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 and learn how to run your first Linux container on Windows Server 2019.

This paper studies the CUDA programming challenges with using multiple GPUs inside a single machine to carry out plane-by-plane updates in parallel 3D sweeping algorithms. In particular, care must be taken to mask the overhead of various data movements between the GPUs. Multiple OpenMP threads on the CPU side should be combined multiple CUDA streams per GPU to hide the data transfer cost related to the halo computation on each 2D plane. Moreover, the technique of peer-to-peer data motion can be used to reduce the impact of 3D volumetric data shuffles that have to be done between mandatory changes of the grid partitioning. We have investigated the performance improvement of 2- and 4-GPU implementations that are applicable to 3D anisotropic front propagation computations related to geological folding. In comparison with a straightforward multi-GPU implementation, the overall performance improvement due to masking of data movements on four GPUs of the Fermi architecture was 23%. The corresponding improvement obtained on four Kepler GPUs was 47%.

Valery Bryusov was one of the leading names of Russian poetry at the beginning of the twentieth century, and he would become especially involved with Armenia and the Armenians in the 1910s.
The future poet was born on December 13, 1873, into a merchant's family in Moscow. His parents had little to do with his upbringing, and Bryusov was largely left to himself as a child. He was a voracious reader of everything that fell into his hands, including the works of Charles Darwin and Jules Verne, as well as various materialistic and scientific essays. He received excellent education and studied in two Moscow gymnasia from 1885-1893. Then he went to Moscow State University from 1893-1899.
Bryusov was still a university student when he started his literary career in the early 1890s. He translated poetry by the French Symbolists (Paul Verlaine, Maurice Maeterlinck, and Stéphane Mallarmé) and Edgar Allan Poe. He also began publishing his own poems, which were influenced by the literary movements then in fashion in Europe, Decadentism and Symbolism.
In order to give Russian Symbolism a dimension that it still did not have, Bryusov made recourse to a mystification. Thus, he published three volumes of his own poetry, entitled Russian Symbolists: An Anthology (1894-1895), with different pen names. The trick proved successful and attracted several young poets to the ranks of Symbolism.
Bryusov became an authority after the appearance of his fourth collection of poetry (1900). The celebration of sensual pleasures and the mastery of a wide range of poetic forms characterized his poetry, which he published in several more collections until 1921. His editorship of Vesy (The Balance), an influential literary magazine, from 1904-1908 consolidated his position in the Russian literary world. Among his eighty books, he also had historical novels, short stories, plays, essays, and translations.
As a translator, Bryusov was the first to render the works of Belgian poet Emile Verhaeren into Russian. He also translated works by Victor Hugo, Jean Racine, Lord Byron, Oscar Wilde, Johann Goethe, Virgil, and others. On this basis, in June 1915 the Armenian Committee of Moscow approached him with a proposal to work on an anthology of Armenian poetry. Bryusov researched all bibliography available in several European languages, and fell enamored of Armenian literature. In his superb introduction to Armenian poetry from the Earliest Times until Our Days , published in 1916, he wrote: "While studying Armenia, I found an inexhaustible source of spiritual and sublime pleasures… As a historian, as a man of science, I saw in the history of Armenia a whole original world, whose thousands of interesting, complex questions raised scholarly interest, and as a poet, as an artist, I saw a similarly original world in Armenian poetry, a new and yet undiscovered universe, where high-valued productions of true literary creation glittered and shone." He also studied the Armenian language for several months and wrote a monograph, The Annals of the Historical Fate of the Armenian People. In January 1916, once the preparations for the anthology were basically finished, Bryusov departed to the Southern Caucasus to get acquainted with Armenian reality and introduce his work to the public. He sojourned in Baku, Tiflis, Yerevan, and Etchmiadzin, where he gave very successful lectures about Armenian history and poetry, and read from among his more than 170 translations from more than 40 Armenian poets.
Bryusov would become the first author to introduce Armenian poetry in such a comprehensive way to the Russian audience. Most of his translations still keep their freshness a century later. He also wrote a series of poems dedicated to Armenia, and even planned to prepare an anthology of Armenian prose from the fifth to the twentieth century. In 1923 he was named popular artist of Soviet Armenia for his work on the anthology.
In the 1910s, Bryusov's reputation gradually declined, as his poetry began to seem cold and strained to many of his contemporaries. Unlike many fellow Symbolists, he remained in Russia after the revolution of 1917. He supported the Soviet government and earned a position in the cultural ministry of the Soviet Union. He helped draw up the proposal for the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. He became the head of the Chamber Book of Moscow, and later of the scientific libraries and the literary section of the Commissariat (ministry) of Education of Soviet Russia. In 1921 he founded the Higher Institute of Literature and Art, which was named after him in 1923, and was its rector. There, he also taught various subjects: history of Russian and ancient literatures, metrics, comparative grammar of Indo-European language, and even history of mathematics. His collections of poetry published after the Soviet revolution marked him as one of the founders of Soviet literature.
Bryusov passed away on October 9, 1924, in Moscow. The Yerevan State Pedagogical Institute of Russian and Foreign Languages (now Linguistic University), founded in 1935, was named after him in 1962.

A fracture or an open wound is easy to see, but how do you know if you have a soft tissue injury after a car accident? Let's look at some of the different types of these more subtle injuries and examine what to expect if one happens to you.
What Are Soft Tissue Injuries?
The soft tissue of the body includes ligaments, muscles, tendons, skin, and fat. Any tissue that is soft to the touch is a type of soft tissue. Even blood vessels and nerves are types of soft tissue. Types of soft tissue injuries include sprains to the ligaments, bruises, and strains due injuries to tendons.
If you have a soft tissue injury after a car accident, it occurred due to the impact of a crash, angle of impact, seating position, and other factors. When a vehicle crashes into another car, truck, or roadside barrier, it causes a great deal of force. This depends on the weight and speed of the vehicles involved. The impact changes the direction of the body producing a reaction known as "muscle splinting."
The body is an amazing machine, often responding to stimuli or changes on its own with minimal delay. When it experiences violent motions, the body sometimes shuts down certain muscle groups. The nervous system releases hormones that create a "fight or flight" state. Sometimes that causes the ligaments to relax, making them more vulnerable to injury. A soft tissue injury after a car accident can either be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-lasting.) The latter obviously denotes a longer healing time. A critical job for medical professionals is knowing the difference so that you get the most effective treatment.

Restoration of Sibi-Harnai section in doldrumsSeptember 6, 2013
SIBI: Repair and restoration of Sibi-Harnai section of Pakistan Railways lies in doldrums due to non availability of funds. Railways was suffering billions of Rupees loss due to closure of this section closed for the period 7 year and 8 months.
According to details during British rule a plan was made to mobilize resources including minerals, agri produce through rail. High mountains were cut and rail track was laid. In 1948, three hundred Kilometres Sibi-Harnai passing through Nakus, Shahragh, Khost made history. It surprised the world.
Harnai is rich in resources such as minerals. Thousands of tonnes of coal is transported by train to different parts of country. Due to closure of Harnai-Sibi section supply was stopped and railways was suffering Rupees 500 million daily loss.
In January 2006, terrorists damaged 5 bridges and track by exploding them. After that railway service was suspended which is closed till today. It was not repaired and restored till today.
Railways sources told that repair of bridges and track on this section was completed few years ago and it was estimated at Rupee s900 million. If Federal government ensures provision of funds, this section can be restored within 9 months.
After coming into power people of Sibi, Harnai and others are hopeful that due to their leadership this section can be restored if serious attention is paid.

From the diary: "July 18, 1981
"After the auction [Oz club secretary] Fred Meyer handed out the prizes." Besides prizes for best costume and best art "he gave out the prizes for the story contest. Both Eric [Shanower] and I got prizes. I guess Fred didn't want to choose between us." The prize was a choice of Harry E. Mongold's self-published Oz books, Button Bright of Oz or The Saw Horse of Oz. I grabbed Button Bright. But I don't think I ever read it. I remember attempting. But I don't remember being able to get all the way to the last page.

A recent posting for an internship should have young motorcycle enthusiasts buzzing, and perhaps clearing their summer calendars.
Harley-Davidson is seeking applicants for an internship that'll combine media marketing with open-road riding, according to a posting on its official website.
With the company looking for a "passionate social media enthusiasts," the 40-hour-a-week, 12-week paid position will teach eight college students how to ride at the H-D Riding Academy. They'll also get a "crash course" in marketing at Harley-Davidson's Milwaukee headquarters, before taking their motorcycle on the road and to events and showcases, documenting the journey all while taking photos and videos for Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter.
At the end of the internship, they'll not only have experience — they'll get to keep a bike, Harley-Davidson says, but only if they pass the H-D Riding Academy course and secure a motorcycle endorsement within a certain time frame.
The internship is open to college juniors, seniors and recent grads, 18 years or older.
Harley-Davidson's goal, according to the job listing, is to "grow the sport of motorcycling."
The application deadline is May 11. More details about the deadline can be found on the Harley-Davidson website.
A few media reacted by calling it an incredible deal or a once-in-a-life-time opportunity.
Some aren't convinced, though, that the internship is a good idea. A reaction published Friday by auto interest blog Jalopnik called it a "boondoggle of the most epic proportions," saying Harley-Davidson is trying to "lure" youths to motorcycle culture. The blog also noted the possibility liability issue of giving young adults expensive motorcycles: "God would it suck for Harley if any of these eight new riders dropped their bike. #ouch."
Harley-Davidson established its Riding Academy in an effort to attract new customers, and offers a training site in Sacramento.

Volume 7 – March 15, 2019
From the Principal
I took the opportunity to highlight the example of champion Australian swimmer, and Olympic Gold medallist, Cate Campbell. Cate only took up swimming when she was 14 years old. She was obviously very gifted, because as a 16-year-old she won two Bronze medals at the 2008 Beijing Games. In the 2012 London Games, Cate Campbell won Gold as part of the Australian 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay Team. While competing at major international championships to date, Cate has won a total of 20 Gold medals, 6 Silver medals and 5 Bronze medals. She is widely regarded as one of our country's greatest swimmers.
Only last week, Cate and her younger sister Bronte Campbell, were named as co-captains of the National Swim Squad. This was less as a reward for her remarkable record, but more for the example of commitment and attitude that she has consistently displayed. As part of a recent media event that Cate Campbell was featured, her past achievements were highlighted and her so-called 'natural' gift for swimming was explored by the interviewer. However, it was in Cate Campbell's response that, I believe, we can all gain a most valuable lesson.
While acknowledging that she had indeed been blessed with the gift of being a good swimmer, Cate Campbell was very quick to emphasise that it was, in fact, dedication and hard work that brought her success and allowed her to reach the goals she strived for. She spoke of the hours of training, the very early mornings and reflected on her real struggles to overcome serious injury and disappointment. She was particularly keen to point out that just having some natural talent is not enough. Such talent can only be fulfilled, and one's true potential realised, when hard work, and dedication, and commitment are applied.
In responding to the reporter, Cate Campbell emphasised an important point that I hope all of our boys can fully appreciate. Even the most gifted of us, in any aspect of school or life, must work hard to fully reach our potential. Being gifted at music or sport or academic studies is a wonderful blessing, but without application and dedication, it could remain largely undeveloped. Commitment and hard work will allow such talent to shine through for others to see and share and to celebrate. Being true to yourself requires you to apply yourself fully so that your talents can shine, because if we were just to rely on our God-given gifts it will ultimately be very limiting. It is our attitude to improve, our dedication to work hard and our consistency of effort that will determine the levels to which we can develop our gifts and determine the achievements we can reach.
At this particular point of our academic year, it is important that we take the time to acknowledge those groups within our College community who are applying themselves to do extraordinary hours of practice, training and rehearsals in striving for personal excellence. To the College Swim Team, our various Rowing Squads preparing for the Head of the River, our Chorale and Music Groups preparing for upcoming concert performances; we thank them for their example, praise them for their efforts and wish them their personal best. They remind us that consistent hard work is required in order for our talents to shine through.
Live Jesus in our hearts

This Saturday evening, 16 March, the Trinity-Terrace Old Boys' Association (TOBA) will welcome back approximately 600 Old Boys, travelling from around the world, to celebrate the significant milestone of 125 years of Trinity College, formerly CBC Perth. Look out for the lighting outside the Sports Centre showing the original CBC Perth building and current College, as well as the Matagarup Bridge and Optus Stadium as they will look magnificent lit up in the Trinity College colours. You may like to go to The Camfield for a drink and watch our old boys march with pride over the Matagarup Bridge from Trinity College to Optus Stadium at 6:30pm.
On Tuesday, the Secondary College assembly presented the College Swimming Team to the school. I congratulate all students on their selection. During the assembly Swimming Captain Jakson Egan (12.1) inspired the Swimming Team to swim their best at the PSA Interschool Swimming Carnival with this quote "Winning isn't everything but wanting to win certainly is!"
On Thursday night, it was wonderful to see our swimmers wholeheartedly representing the College by putting in their very best performances at the PSA Interschool Swimming Carnival. Congratulations to our swimmers and coaches who all put in a fantastic effort not only on the night but in the months leading up to the Carnival. I also thank a large number of students and parents who were able to attend and support our team. Overall, we finished third, out of the seven PSA schools. A great result! More details about individual efforts will be published next week.
On Tuesday, 26 March at 9:35am, (please note this change of time) the Year 7 students will gather together for their Term 1 Mass in Gibney Hall. Parents are most welcome to join us for Mass, and to stay for a "cuppa & chat" afterwards. This group of parents will be together for the next six years, so why not come along and meet some new friends. RSVP's to Beverly Martinez on firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 9223 8106.
Year 11 and 12 Parent, Teacher, Student Interviews are being held on Tuesday, 2 April from 2.30pm–8.30pm in Gibney Hall, and in the first floor B Block classrooms. We will be using Parent Teacher Online (PTO) for parents to book interviews. You will receive an email on Thursday, 28 March, explaining how to log on and book interviews. If you do not receive this email, please contact the IT Help Desk on 9223 8161 or 9223 8112. If you have recently changed your email address, please contact the College's reception, so that we can update our records. I encourage parents to make the most of this valuable opportunity to discuss your son's progress with his teachers. As stated in a recent College newsletter, an effective and positive Family/College partnership that promotes open communication is vital for the welfare and progress of each student.
The Parent Council Ball will be held on Saturday, 27 April 2018. This is the night after the Year 12 Ball.
Table sales for the Parent Ball go live on the Online Store at 9.00am this Monday, 18 March. Tables of 10 cost $1250 each. To make it as fair and equitable as possible, parents are only able to purchase one table each. If any parent purchases more than one table, any extra monies paid will be refunded and that table will be placed back on sale.
Tables sold out in record time last year, so we encourage everyone to finalise their table of 10 'current Trinity parents' so that you are ready to purchase your tickets on 18 March. This event is open to the entire school community and is not targeted towards any particular year group. It should be a great evening.
The College is aware that over the last few years many parents have experienced financial difficulties and when particular circumstances are brought to our attention we have endeavoured to help. This assistance can vary from extended repayment programs, discounts or even concessions. The College Board is committed to this assistance program because this is the very ethos that Blessed Edmund Rice established his schools many years ago.
If you feel that you will not be able to fulfil your fee obligations by the 5 October it is essential to contact the Bursar, Mr Michael Burgess, 9223 8126 – and this contact should be made as soon as practical. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Junior School News
On Tuesday, the Year 4 boys attended a wonderful excursion at Kings Park. This excursion was designed to complement the HASS programme and in particular, the study of Aboriginal Culture and sustainability practices. The boys were privileged to learn from a respected Noongar Elder who taught them a little of the customs surrounding fishing and hunting. The boys were fascinated and had the opportunity to practise the skills of string making, weaving and fishing.
A significant number of parents gave up their time to assist during the day and we thank them for their contribution to ensuring that the boys were engaged and safe.
Yesterday, the Year 4s took part in their first carnival for Trinity. Well done to the boys on the way they represented the school and themselves by being great ambassadors and team players.
At Trinity, we believe the learning opportunities provided by school camps are extremely valuable and help our boys to develop into well rounded young men. The Year 5 Camp held this week was very successful. I would sincerely like to thank everyone who was involved – to our committed Year 5 teachers, who have planned well to provide the opportunities for the boys, to our parents for their assistance and particularly to the boys whose behaviour was excellent.
On Tuesday, 19 March, the Junior School will be joining the rest of the College for the Rowing Assembly. This is a unique assembly held in the Sports Centre, commencing at 8:40am. There will not be sports training next week.
On Wednesday, 20 March, Laura Allison, who is currently employed as the Coordinator of the Psychology Team for Catholic Education WA, will be presenting a talk to parents about a new program the Junior School has engaged this year called RULER.
RULER is an evidence-based approach to teaching social and emotional intelligence. In this workshop, Laura will provide an overview of the RULER model and expand on practices that parents can adopt to cultivate social and emotional intelligence, both personally and while parenting. Laura has particular expertise relating to mental illness prevention and wellbeing promotion and is a very engaging speaker. The evening commences at 5:30pm and will take place in the Braham Auditorium. There is no cost for attendees to this evening.

This fabulous Week 6 was filled with excitement and enthusiasm! Firstly, on Tuesday, the Year 4s went on an excursion to Kings Park to learn about the Wadjuk Noongars and what they do. The Year 5s went on their first camp experience, having the chance to bond and make strong connections with other boys. The Forest Edge Camp commenced on Wednesday, 13 March, through to Friday, 16 March. I am sure all the boys had great fun! The Year 4s played in a Basketball Carnival with Aquinas; they surely had a great day too! The Year 6s played fair sport against Guildford! Then this week's assembly was a great way to finish off another fulfilling week! Everyone enjoyed this week and will hopefully have a good week next week!

On Wednesday, our Year 9s had the opportunity to listen to guest speaker Steve Plain, who has an inspiring story from overcoming a broken neck to climbing the highest mountain on every continent in world record time! Steve demonstrated to the boys how ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results through resilience, commitment and hard work.

My progress in the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award is getting along nicely. The camp planning in class is nearly finished with many students already have completed many hours in their Bronze Award. I have already completed 11 hours and I am really enjoying the challenges and tasks of the Bronze Award. For physical recreation, I am doing cricket and, in the winter, I will be doing cross-country. For the skill component, I have got involved in the chess club and I am really enjoying and cannot wait for the competitions to begin. Lastly, for service, I am part of the TCEC which is the Trinity College Environmental Committee which offers many tasks and challenges including helping out at the Junior School. I also participated in the making of sandwiches for the less fortunate students in their school. I am really enjoying the Bronze Award and I am sure that all of the other boys are as well. I strongly encourage you to encourage your sons from Year 8 to participate in the Bronze Award next year.
William Day (9.4)
Hello, my name is Archie Allen and I am in Year 9. Last year, I decided to apply for the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award so that I could learn a new skill and push myself out of my comfort zone. For my skill, I have chosen Film Production as well as PC building. For my Physical Recreation, I have chosen Basketball. Currently, I am still deciding on a service activity for the long term but I am making sandwiches for primary school students through the Duke of Edinburgh elective. I really think that this Bronze Award benefits me both in the short and long term. It will help me grow as a person and also help me in the future when I eventually want to get a job; having a prestigious award on my resume would be awesome. I'm really looking forward to this year and I just can't wait to see what this year will bring.
Archie Allen (9.5)
The Library currently has a Community Jigsaw out for the students to complete. This is a great way for students from different classes and year groups to collaborate in a fun activity. Sometimes we will have a single student working on the jigsaw; at other times we have small groups working together and sometimes we have large groups working together.

Today, schools all over Australia including Trinity took part in the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence. To build upon the 'get on the team' campaign from last year, the College will be distributing free wristbands to students who signed the 'get on the team' contract today, pledging to take an active stand against bullying. The Class of 2019 highly values the concept of brotherhood between all its peers as it is one of the defining factors that make Trinity College unique from other schools. As a community, Trinity is developing a zero tolerance for bullying and harassment of any kind, regardless of its frequency or magnitude.
The Italian department is still seeking host families for Italian exchange students that come to Perth for a two-month stay from the end of June until the end of August. The exchange program is an opportunity for an intercultural experience and often lifelong friendships are made. Your son does not have to be studying Italian to take part in this wonderful opportunity. If you host, your son will also have the first opportunity to go to Italy for a two-month exchange over the summer holiday period. This joint program between the West Australian Teachers of Italian (WAATI) and AFS/Intercultural is in its 41st year and if you would like more information please contact Eliza Knapman (email: firstname.lastname@example.com).
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the fee-free recharging service offered at Student Services, we have had to introduce a $10 minimum recharge limit. The Student Services Officers have been inundated with students reloading very small amounts, which has prevented them from completing other work tasks.
To reload your card at Student Services, you can take the cash ($10 minimum) and student card to Student Services and the very helpful Student Services Officers will load the money on to the card. This money will appear in the student account immediately. For more information, including how to load funds onto the student card online, please visit the Canteen page of the website, located under Current Students (top left), or simply click here. Re-charging online will incur a small fee each time funds are added to the card.
The My Student Account (MSA) system used in the College Canteen for cashless purchases does not link to other databases here at the College. If you have supplied the College with allergy information through Consent2Go, this data does not transfer to the MSA system used in the Canteen. Parents of students who have serious or severe allergies are asked to please log on to their son's MSA Account and enter the relevant allergy information so that an alert message is displayed on the screen when your son goes to make a purchase. Instructions on how to add allergy information to an MSA Account can be found on the College website here or by clicking on this link.

The Uniform Shop trading hours during school term are as follows:
- Tuesday: 7:30am–4:30pm

We hope everyone has settled in well. We would like to give some further information to new students and families about the uniform. All Trinity College students need to be in full Winter uniform the first day back of Term 2: Tuesday, 30 April. We are offering after-school appointments to new students starting Wednesday, 20 March. Please call Joanne at Reception on 9223 8120.
We are happy for families to call into the shop any Tuesday or Friday to purchase Winter uniforms without an appointment. This is just a queuing system. It has settled down in the shop now so it is a good time to come in before the rush starts again. Please feel free to call into the Uniform Shop for any uniform enquiries. We are more than happy to answer questions.
Parents, please be careful when purchasing second-hand uniforms from the second-hand uniform Facebook group or other sources to ensure that these are in the current style. It has come to our attention that people are still selling old styles or unapproved uniform items. If you are unsure of the current required uniform, you can either go on the Online Store to view or contact us here at the shop. Some sellers are stating that a new pocket for a blazer can be purchased from the Uniform Shop. This is incorrect information and we are unable to supply that item. Students are required to be in the correct uniform at all times.

What an awesome day!! Despite the rain on Saturday, our College community put on a wonderful display of TC Spirit along the banks of the Swan River and Matagarup Bridge in East Perth! Rowing crews from the seven PSA schools came together to celebrate our 50th year competing in the Head of the River and 125th year of the College.
Support came from all corners of the College; students, coaches, staff, Rowing Auxiliary, Old Boys, families, volunteer marshals, Pipes and Drums, the Little Ferry Company, Optus Stadium and the Camfield; and we extend a huge thank you to all involved. It was a huge effort and greatly appreciated.
The feedback from the PSA schools, Head of Rowing in WA and attendees has been fantastic. "The best regatta in 15 years"; "No stone left unturned"; "It made me love rowing again"; "We didn't realise Trinity was in such a beautiful location"; are just some of the comments we have received from attendees. We look forward to hosting the next regatta!

Celebrating 125 Years
This year, Trinity College, formerly Christian Brothers College (CBC) Perth, is celebrating our 125th Anniversary – 125 wonderful and proud years of upholding traditions, providing a holistic quality Catholic education and empowering students to become Men for Others. To celebrate this milestone, we are reaching out to members of our community who have had a positive impact on the College over the years – either as a student, staff member, parent or friend – to tell their story and share their memories of CBC Perth and Trinity College.
This week we are sharing a story from Simon Katich ('92). Simon began at Trinity College in 1984 as a Year 4 Junior School student. From these early years, he excelled academically, was a class leader and talented young sportsman who represented the College in cricket, hockey and basketball. Click here to read the full story.

Hi There!
Today I'm sharing a card I made for this week's Outlawz Thursday POM challenge - "Green". You can interpret the challenge by using the color green as I did but you could also go green by recycling products, etc! Here's the link to the challenge, samples and chatter for this week.
Here's a close up of the focal image - I stamped the birds on patterned paper scraps and colored their bellies with Memento Markers and coordinating Sakura glitter pens to highlight them a bit. The rest of the card was about as CAS (clean and simple) as it comes. The DCWV grade school patterned paper did all the work for me. I just added some satin flowers and a green ribbon tied in a bow and I was done!
Card Details ( 5" square card)
Stamps: 4 Leaf Clover (MFT); Basic Grey clear bird stamp set
Ink: Memento; SU green (inside)
Card stock: DCWV grade school mat stack
Other: May Arts green/yellow ribbon; Michaels satin green flowers; Kaiser Kraft rhinestones
and the inside view...
Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! I'm so lucky to have you check in on me today! *wink!*

|Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy
|Mad Doc Software
|Vivendi Universal
|Release date(s)
| NA February 14, 2006
EU March 10, 2006
Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy is the official expansion pack for Empire Earth II. It introduces new features such as new cultural region (African) which includes two new civilizations, the Maasai and the Zulu. Also includes three new campaigns (Egyptian, Russian and Maasai) and new gameplay features such as units becoming Hero and allying with neutral tribes.
The game adds 3 new campaigns which are described below and two new turning points missions. It also has a new region (African) with 2 civilizations (Maasai and Zulu) and 2 new civilizations in existing regions (France and Russia), which are in the Western region. It allows soldiers to become heroes if they get a certain amount of kills. These Heroes can form groups (called armies) with other soldiers and doing so enables all soldiers to become stronger. The expansion pack introduces an option to have native tribes, who are neutral players. You can leave them alone, ally with them, or be at war with them. There is also a new crown power called the supreme leader. Any leader or hero can become this, and it allows them to have stronger leader powers and form stronger armies.
The expansion features three new campaigns, each of which is divided into separate scenarios like the rest of the Empire Earth franchise. The first campaign is in the Egyptian times involving Pharaohs. The second is based in the Russian era of the Napoleonic Wars. The third is a campaign based in the future. It involves Africa and the Maasai tribe fighting for liberation.

Where in the World Wednesday: Switzerland Edition
Every Wednesday, I share a Where in the World Wednesday featuring where in the world I am, what I'm doing there, where I'm planning to go next, my general thoughts on the latest week of travel, and what I'm currently reading.
Where in the World Wednesday: Switzerland Edition
Where in the world are you?
I'm currently in the idyllic Lauterbrunnen valley in Switzerland.
Where were you up to this week?
I've been a hiking fiend this week, trekking up one mountain and down the next. I started with Mt. Rigi just a quick boat ride and a beautiful traditional cog wheel train from Luzern.
After exploring the Luzern area for two days, I moved to Lauterbrunnen in the Jungfrau region. It's a stunning little village in the bottom of a simply gorgeous valley. It's been the perfect place to settle in to mountain life.
On my first full day, I tackled an ambitious 6.5 hour hike from Schynige Platte to Grindlewald First. I summited Faulhorn peak, made friends with the cows, and felt more accomplished than I have in a very, very long time.
I enjoyed another hike from Mannlichen to Wengen via Kleine Scheidegg.
And yet another from Grutschalp to Murren, with an extension by cable car to the Schilthorn peak.
My original plan was to spend six days in Lauterbrunnen. I ended up extending my trip. Sometimes you know a good thing when you've got it.
It was a very good thing when this rag tag bunch of travelers joined forces for the day. We were all interested in hiking and the outdoors. The majority of us were on long-term travel journeys after having left careers we were less than thrilled with. It was travel magic in the making.
I led them on one of my favorite hikes from the past week, from Wengen to Mannlichen and back again. This time, I didn't pass by the playground (we played like the children we still are) or have to take selfies of me in the environment. The conversations weren't only in my own head. We were happy hikers.
What are you currently reading?
I'm still making my way through A Clash of Kings (Game of Thrones Book #2) by George R.R. Martin. I didn't make as much progress on it this week as I expected. It's hard to read a lot when you're traversing mountain passes and sharing meals and wine with friends at night.
I did learn that I enjoy some verbal company while solo hiking. This week, I listened to a few podcasts as I walked. When I walk the camino, I think I'll want to stock up on audiobooks to get me through the long days sometimes.
Where are you going to next?
I'll be making a quick trip to the states to celebrate one of my best friend's weddings. Four days later, I'll be heading to Europe again. I'll be in Paris for a short time and then will begin yet another work exchange experience in the south of France.

Finishing projects
Met is going to be teaching this along with several other amazing classes this year in Milwaukee at Bead and Button. I would LUV to take Bali Breeze in Milwaukee this year but two things...money and time. She'll be teaching that June 3rd & 4th. The Kudu Spiral she'll be teaching on June 8th. I've seen the Cascade necklace & it is stunning. Maybe next year.
Here is Met's website to see some of her other work & to order kits. Met Innmon

What are you looking for?
We wanted to recreate a shirt worn in our creative studio. Screen printed and washed in Los Angeles, CA for an authentic vintage look and feel. We hand-cut and remove both the sleeve and bottom hems (a technique inspired by a shirt from our archives). Unique distressing and paint details are added to each shirt by hand. The result? A soft, everyday T-shirt where no two are the same.
