text: US Prolongs Sanctions Against Iran 10:30, Tuesday, 13 March, 2018 The United States has extended the national emergency with respect to Iran, President Donald Trump informed in a letter the US House of Representatives speaker and the Senate President."Actions and policies of the government of Iran, including its development of ballistic missiles, support for international terrorism and human rights abuses, continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States," Trump said on Monday. The US president added that for those reasons, he has "determined it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared with respect to Iran and to maintain in force comprehensive sanctions against Iran to respond to this threat." Trump noted that the national emergency with respect to Iran that was declared on March 15, 1995, will remain in effect beyond March 15. | | | 4428 | 0

Understanding Opioids
Every day, more than 115 Americans die after overdosing on opioids. The misuse of and addiction to opioids—including prescription pain relievers, heroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl—is a serious national crisis that affects public health as well as social and economic welfare. In 2017, Confluence Health embarked on a journey committed to reducing these statics in our region.
1. The Challenge
• To address the prescription drug abuse epidemic
• 2.4 million Americans have severe opioid use disorder
• Overdose deaths from prescription drugs have outpaced mortality from motor vehicle accidents since 2013
• In 2016, life expectancy of middle aged men dropped due to opioid addiction and overdose
• Average annual deaths associated with opioid use in the Confluence Health service area:17.6
2. The Goal
• Develop a comprehensive and coordinated program to address the prescription drug abuse epidemic
• Develop an acute prescription pain algorithm with the goal of reducing the quantity of medications prescribed
• Develop a chronic opioid algorithm with the goal of reducing the total morphine equivalents per day (MED) from 120 mg to 80 mg
• Develop a drug diversion committee that coordinates the organizational approach to managing drug diversion
3. The Action: Opioid Epidemic Response Team (OERT) Activities
4. Community Impact: Standard Approach to Opioid Management
Appropriate Prescribing:
• Reduce overall quantities of prescription pain medications being prescribed
Diversion Prevention:
• Appropriate processes to prevent diversion of prescription medications
• Diversion Response Team
• Diversion oversite committee
• Reset patient expectations regarding pain control (acute and chronic)
• Reset provider expectations regarding pain management
• Improve staff ability to assess prescription pain medication refill requests

Warren was a person playing paintball at Blue Sky Park. He wasn't very sporting as he howled at two of his friends to put them offguard. He showered them with paint before they even put their helmets on. When he heard the roars of the Smilodon he thought it was them trying to get him back. He was then torn apart by the creature. Nick Cutter examined his shredded remains later. (Episode 2.3)

When you're serious about a hobby, you pick up the right tools. A power drill, a mixer, a premium paintbrush. Pretty much anyone who uses a desktop computer has a keyboard attached to it, but there's a subset of us who spend a huge chunk of our time at our computers staring down the barrel of a digital gun. Chinese gaming peripheral maker Aula is joining the ranks of Razer and Logitech and hoping gamers will look at its new specialized keyboard designed specifically for FPS gaming.
Photo: TechPowerUp
TechPowerUp offers up a photo of the as-of-yet-unnamed beast. We can see a core of common FPS keys surrounded by an arch of function keys, eight shortcut keys, and ten macro keys. Interestingly enough, both enter and backspace keys are present in the main block.
Aula also showed off an ultra-condensed keyboard that features a more standard layout, but lacks a dedicated tenkey keypad, functions keys, and navigation key set. TechPowerUp says those missing keys will be handled by secondary functions activated with an Fn key. If the layout looks familiar, you're probably thinking of the Happy Hacking keyboard.
Photo: TechPowerUp
TechPowerUp also reports that the two keyboards will be bundled together, though Aula hasn't offered up a release date or price yet.

I have had Drake Lawn & Pest Control for several years now, and by far, they are the best! The gentleman who services my home currently is courteous, prompt and goes out of his way to say hello to let me know he is on my property. I highly recommend DRAKE for your pest control needs! Because of their consistently good service, I will be hiring them soon to take care of my lawn as well. It is certainly hard to find good 'help' and a business that will follow through with such quality service, honesty and dependability as Drake provides. A++++

The wood has done a fine job here, the aromas are pleasantly spicy but not overwehelmingly so. The fruits play second fiddle here. – Rating: 85/100
Be prepared for a strong spice punch when tasting this whisky. Fortunately the other flavours are bold enough not to get lost. – Rating: 86/100
The nose of this very rich whisky is wonderful. On the palate and in the finish there is a bit too much wood for my taste – Rating: 87/100
A very nice dram certainly, a tad on the dry side maybe, but not quite as spectacular as some may expect from a Longmorn of this age. – Rating: 86/100
At the Munich Finest Spirits Festival 2012 I had the chance to get two interesting Longmorn samples at the stand of slowdrink.de. One 12 and on 14 year old, but from two entirely different ages. Let's see how they compare:
This really is a nice composition of flavours, well-balanced, nothing stands out. It needs a bit of water. – Rating: 84/100
This superb malt shows quite a bit of wood, but the strong flavours and the complexity are powerful enough to keep it in balance. – Score: 92/100
Noticeably better than the version I tasted in 2009 and also quite different. The flavour profile is a bit unusual but this is quite a pleasant dram. – Score: 84/100
Full-bodied, rich and creamy – this malt shows a delightful combination of sweet and fruity flavours that makes it a perfect after-dinner dram. – Rating: 86/100
Needs quite some water, a quite nutty dram with much wood spice. Could be a bit more balanced. – Score: 82/100
This one is a bit too spicy for my taste. There is not much to balance out the wood. It's still not a bad whisky, but there is something missing. – Score: 80/100

Dewey, John. Democracy and Education
Macmillan, 1916
Chapter Nine: "Natural Development and Social Efficiency as Aims"
Translated into specific aims, social efficiency indicates the importance of industrial competency. Persons cannot live without means of subsistence; the ways in which these means are employed and consumed have a profound influence upon all the relationships of persons to one another. If an individual is not able to earn his own living and that of the children dependent upon him, he is a drag or parasite upon the activities of others. He misses for himself one of the most educative experiences of life. If he is not trained in the right use of the products of industry, there is grave danger that he may deprave himself and injure others in his possession of wealth. No scheme of education can afford to neglect such basic considerations.
Yet in the name of higher and more spiritual ideals, the arrangements for higher education have often not only neglected them, but looked at them with scorn as beneath the level of educative concern. With the change from an oligarchical to a democratic society, it is natural that the significance of an education which should have as a result ability to make one's way economically in the world, and to manage economic resources usefully instead of for mere display and luxury, should receive emphasis.
There is, however, grave danger that in insisting upon this end, existing economic conditions and standards will be accepted as final. A democratic criterion requires us to develop capacity to the point of competency to choose and make its own career. This principle is violated when the attempt is made to fit individuals in advance for definite industrial callings, selected not on the basis of trained original capacities, but on that of the wealth or social status of parents. As a matter of fact, industry at the present time undergoes rapid and abrupt changes through the evolution of new inventions. New industries spring up, and old ones are revolutionized. Consequently an attempt to train for too specific a mode of efficiency defeats its own purpose.

Tom Brake Responds to Debt Statistics
Tom Brake, MP for Carshalton and Wallington, has responded to the latest statistics from the Insolvency Service which indicates an increasing number of people living in the area are unable to manage their debts.
"These figures are very concerning. It is showing people not just in this area but all over Britain are finding it more difficult to cope financially.
"People need to be made fully aware of the risks involved when taking out mortgages, and also of the insurance products available to them. The quarter of a million phone calls received by National Debtline last year shows how catastrophic this is for many hard working families.
"Additionally, the fact that only one in four phone calls gets through to National Debtline shows people who need advice are not always able to get it. It is vital to increase resources to improve such valuable services.
"The latest rise in interest rates, on top of large rises in council tax and energy bills will only add further strain to family budgets"

This one is 9x12 & probably my very favorite. It is such a great feeling to create something that you feel very satisfied with. I can almost always find little things I wish I had done different but this one , I was pretty darn happy with! I have been an image transferring maniac lately! I believe I could do it everyday!!
This is a little 4x6 image transfer "Bath Time" I did using Sheer Heaven paper again. For me, I just can't see messing with the gel mediums, layer after layer, when I can spritz this paper with a little alcohol & get a transfer that looks like this. I have found only one place that sells this & you can see details at: http://www.dotcalmvillage.net/cre8it/sheerheaven.html. There's so many things you can do with this stuff & the image transferring just scratches the surface. There is also a Youtube video on it also at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAbuuIzCt1w. Don't you love her little blue shoes?

Sundays at 10:10 a.m. we draw on the ancient traditions of the Church to create an authentic spiritual experience. Our time together is when we come together through spoken word, ancient actions, and song. Through this, we become a community where everyone has a place and all are welcome. To be clear, we welcome people of all colors, immigration statuses, orientations and identities. All are welcome here.
Each Sunday we combine authentic, ancient practices with powerful progressive preaching. Please check out our Events page on Facebook to see what we will be celebrating in the weeks ahead.
We use music, art, and prayer to help invite you into closer contact with the divine.
Our service draws on St. Cyprian's roots as the Church for San Francisco's African American Episcopalians. More than 90 years ago we started as the church where people who weren't welcome any place else could come and be welcome. Today we apply that same way of life to a spiritual community that includes people of differing races and sexual orientations. Our greatest diversity – and strength – is the range of opinions our people hold about their spirituality. As Episcopalians, we do not universally hold to one particular doctrine or dogma. Rather, we are united around our belief in common worship. We are called to interpret scripture using the tolls of reason and tradition. We expect people to think and feel for themselves. Our goal is to provide spiritual resources for members as they walk along their pilgrimage through life.

This is the
fourth game of the Call of Duty series. It has left
The actual gameplay is truly awesome, and this is without a doubt the best shooter ever as regards general gameplay. There are loads of different weapons and different types of missions to do; some at night, some in the day, and even some underground. Sometimes you might have to rescue hostages, in others you are assaulting a town, and you have to move building by building, killing enemy troops or searching for terrorists, while in one mission you even go back to the time of the Chernobyl disaster. The single player campaign is unfortunately not very long, but the quality of it is superb, and it has a good amount of variety in it.

text: Thaivisa Web Content Team 1,014 #1 Posted January 21 When it comes to backing out of a wedding, faking your own kidnapping sounds like overkill, but that didn't stop a Colombian man from using this technique to avoid attending his own wedding. The unnamed 55-year-old man, from the Colombian town of Pitalito was scheduled to marry his fiancee, a local woman, in front of family and friends last weekend. As the big day grew closer, the man started getting cold feet and confessed to some of his closest buddies that he planned to break the engagement and pull out of the wedding. Only he didn't know how to go about it, so his good friends came up with the idea of faking a kidnapping. What they didn't plan for was for authorities to launch a full scale operation involving the police and the army. After instructing the 55-year-old groom-to-be to lay low for a few days, his merry friends called emergency services and made up a story about how they had witnessed his abduction by a group of armed men riding motorcycles. As Colombia has a history of such kidnappings for extortion purposes, local authorities took the situation very seriously, mobilizing both the entire police force in the district, as well as the Colombian army. Pitalito Police Commander, Néstor Vargas ordered the access roads to and out of the municipality closed down to prevent from the kidnappers from escaping, and deployed operations in the streets of the town to hopefully locate the victim. No one really imagined that the people who reported the crime could be lying, which made their confession that much more shocking. After seeing the manpower and resources that had been mobilized for their lie, the "victim's" friends came forward and told police that they had deceived them in order to help their friend get out of his wedding. "They made up the story about the kidnapping, because a friend of theirs had decided to go back on their word of marriage. That is to say, he had a change of heart, and hid himself so as to avoid going to Church and attending his scheduled wedding," Police Commander Vargas told reporters.

Are you fascinated by the rocks in the Algarve? Or do you dream of learning to surf - or do your children there? Portugal's southern coast has more than 100 beaches and is one of the world's most beautiful. Ideal locations for the family to stay are Albufeira, Lagos and Alvor.
So, are you ready to start? Here there is some advice for getting prepared for your bike travel through Algarve.
You will need a bit of an adventurous spirit to face a 4-to-7 days travel on a route where you can find some steep but short climbs, missing signs, rough terrain and... the wind. Yes, because as in many other sea regions, some days you could face winds that can make your traveling hard.
This is the reason why many cyclists choose to travel West to East, even if going in the other direction can assure you a gradual escalation of wonderful beaches and views to see. Anyway, to get rid of some weight, you could also join one of the locally organized tours which assure you also luggage transportation from one stop to the next one.
Another aspect that will make the trip a little tricky is that... there are only partial and not very accurate Ecovia do litoral maps but follow the link to find some.
The Ecovia officially starts in Cabo de Sao Vincente and ends in Villa Real de Santo Antonio, on the Spanish border, after 214 kilometers of beautiful sea, beaches, cliffs, road, hills, and sunshine. The region, Algarve, is famous for its amazing beaches, with giant orange rocks and cliffs which contrast with the blue of the sea and the sky.
Cabo de Sao Vincente is the southwesternmost point of Europe: there is a lighthouse on high cliffs, where the wind blows hard every day. The first part of the route is paved and well-signed, but this will not be the usual situation you can find cycling on rough terrain with occasional steep hills will make the trip harder, but it will allow you to stay close to the coast and/or surrounded by nature.
It will be easy to get to the most amazing and famous beaches of Algarve, like Praia Dona Ana, Praia da Marinha, Praia da Falesia, and many others. You will cycle through many towns, with so different souls: from Lagos with the amazing cliffs, to Faro, with its long history, to the lively nightlife of Albufeira.
Near the end, the route goes into Parque Natural de Ria Formosa, the wonderful ecosystem of the Formosa river mouth, with sandy beaches, islands, and astonishing wildlife.
How can you get to Algarve? Faro has an International airport and a train station which connects to central and Northern Portugal. It also the main station on the Algarve railway, that goes from Lagos to Villa Real, a backup solution for any difficulties you can find on the way (also because bikes travel free on Portuguese trains!).
The Ecovia litoral is connected to - and for a small part overlaps with - EuroVelo n. 1, an international bike route that comes down from North Cape traveling through all the European countries which face the Atlantic Ocean.
On your way, you will find every kind of accommodation facilities, but with some differences depending on the area. Tourists are concentrated in the central and western part of Algarve, between Lagos and Faro.
If you are looking for a five-star resort you should head to Vilamoura and its big golf courses but... if you like cycling adventures you are probably not that kind of person. Also, apartments will not suit you, because they are usually not rented for single nights.
Bike tourists usually prefer hostels and cheap hotels, and you will find certainly this sort of accommodation, but beware. If you plan to travel in high season, be sure to book in advance, otherwise, you will find only expensive or bad structures.
What about food? Since you are in front of the ocean, many dishes are based on fish or seafood. One typical way of cooking it is in the "cataplana", a copper pot which is brought directly to your table. Before that, the waiter will serve you some "couvert", the Algarvian starter: olives or carrots cut into pieces and marinated.
If you prefer meat, you will find different dishes based on chicken or pork, such as leitão, a piece of pig roasted on a spit for 12 hours. The algarvian kitchen also offers you soups, cheese and delicious desserts like the Dom rodrigos, strings of egg yolk with cinnamon and almonds made up in a little nest. And to drink? You will find a wide variety of local wines, and the Algarvian beer, the Super bock.

A block of 7 flats arranged over six storeys and basement,1985-7 by the Terry Farrell Partnership as part of the regeneration of Comyn Ching Triangle.
Reasons for Designation
19 Mercer Street/21 Shelton Street, 1985-7 by the Terry Farrell Partnership, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* Architect: a significant, formative scheme by a leading British architect and exponent of postmodernism;
* Architectural interest: the corner stones of a spatially powerful, mixed-use regenerative scheme, marked by bold form and detail, based on an intellectual understanding of historic precedent, interpreted in a witty postmodern idiom;
* Contextual placemaking: a masterly exercise in placemaking, eliding the old and new, that recognised the scale and patina of the original (and then recently listed) buildings and spaces in the creation of Ching Court;
* Degree of survival: little altered, retaining external profiles, detail, fixtures and fittings and internal public spaces;
* Historic interest: an early and exemplary project in urban contextualism, reflecting the emerging philosophy of conservation and regeneration.
Comyn Ching Triangle in its present form is the result of a regeneration project, executed in three phases from 1978-91 by the Terry Farrell Partnership. The project integrated the restoration of existing C17,C18 and C19 listed buildings and shop fronts with the design and erection of new buildings and the creation of a new public space, in a mixed use development. It occupies one of the triangular blocks that radiate from the Seven Dials, laid out in 1692 by Sir Thomas Neale, and is bounded by Monmouth Street to the W, Mercer Street to the NE and Shelton Street to the SE, and at its core is Ching Court, and a public thoroughfare through it, created in 1983-5.
The regeneration of Comyn Ching Triangle was central to Farrell's work in the Covent Garden area, following Clifton Nurseries (1980-1). It is a significant example of his approach to urban contextualisation from the 1980s, in its pragmatic elision of a new urban plan and structures with the existing scale, fabric and patina of the essentially C17, C18 and C19 streetscape.
Farrell created a new landscaped, public space in the centre of the site, an area which had previously been gradually built over, obscuring the original building line. New entrances from Monmouth Street and Shelton Street provided access to this courtyard, and a diagonal public route across it, while a series of added entrances at ground floor level within the courtyard provided access to the upper floors of the existing buildings and gave prominence to the rear elevations which had been previously hidden by extensions and years of accumulated buildings. At the corners of the site new buildings replaced redundant commercial premises, while the intervening street frontages of existing commercial premises, most of them listed buildings of C17 and C18 origin, were renovated. Integral to the project was the reinstatement and refurbishment of the premises and showroom of the longstanding occupants, Comyn Ching ironmongers, at 17-19 Shelton Street.
The historic streetscape is made up of traditional three and four storey buildings, now mostly with added attics or mansards and with basements. Most are conventionally constructed in red, plum and stock brick, some with red brick or engineering brick dressings, some stucco rendered or painted, and have slate and tile roofs.
The scale, forms and palette of materials and colours used in the new buildings at the corners of the site complement and provide both a unifying identity and new vitality to the scheme. They are clad in traditional materials interpreted in a forward-thinking way, while windows and bold Mannerist entrances are coloured turquoise blue and deep red. Throughout, the scheme is unified by Farrell's interpretation of the Comyn Ching logo – paired inverted 'Cs' which are a signature of the metalwork. At the core of the site, Ching Court is a discrete and tranquil paved court, which creates a seamless connection with the buildings. Sloping from N to S, it is reached by semicircular steps descending from the N entrance and shallow stepped paving rising from the Shelton Street entrance. The corner rotundas, prominent rear entrances, modelled rear windows, masonry parapet walls, kerbs and a built-in seat to the rear of Mercer Street, place the buildings within the landscape. Varied forms of steel balconies, window guards, and later planters also designed by Farrell, and bearing the CC logo, provide context within the idiom of the site.
RECEPTION On completion the scheme was admired and well received, notably in a critique in the Architects' Journal (6 March 1985), which praised its architectural assurance and ingenuity. 'Where old fabric has been kept it is revered and treated seriously, but in the final result we are not so much aware of the old and the new co-existing side by side as of one single lively identity embodied in the still recognisable historic streets'. (AJ 6 March 1985, 58). The project won a Civic Trust Award in 1987 and on 26 March 1999 the Seven Dials Renaissance Project was awarded an Environmental Design Award by the London Borough of Camden.
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Designs for the enabling stage were prepared from 1978 and executed on site from 1981 to 1983. Following the granting of listed building consent, the corner buildings at Seven Dials were demolished and the C17 panelled interiors and stairs from 51 Monmouth Street were removed and stored, to be reinstated in 55 Monmouth Street.
Phase 1 (on site June 1983, completed May 1985), entailed the restoration, conversion or part-reconstruction of 15 listed C17-C19 houses and shopfronts; and the creation of Ching Court and new entrances within it to the upper floors of Shelton Street and Monmouth Street buildings. It encompassed 53-63 Monmouth Street, laid out as a mix of offices on three storeys above retail on the ground floor and basement levels; 11-19 Shelton Street, arranged as a mix of flats on three storeys above retail at ground floor and basement levels; and 21-27 Mercer Street, arranged as four houses, for private sale.
Phase 2 (on site 1985, completed c1987) comprised a new building on the corner of Seven Dials, at 45-51 Monmouth Street and 29-31 Mercer Street, which provided four storeys of offices above ground and basement level retail premises. A new building on the corner site at 19 Mercer Street and 21 Shelton Street provided flats on six storeys and a basement.
Phase 3 (on site c1989, completed c1991), addressed the S apex of the site, 65-75 Monmouth Street and 1-9 Shelton Street. The restoration, conversion or part-reconstruction of four listed buildings (65-71 Monmouth Street) and four unlisted C17-C19 houses and shopfronts on Shelton Street, integrated with a new building at the S corner of the triangle, provided retail accommodation on the ground floor and basement, three storeys of offices above, with a residential top floor.
ARCHITECT Sir Terry Farrell (b.1938) is a pre-eminent British architect and urban designer, of international standing. He has been a leading force in establishing postmodernism as an architectural presence in this country. After graduating from the University of Newcastle School of Architecture, Farrell took a Masters in Architecture and City Planning at the University of Pennsylvania, where tutors included Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, whose work would later have a bearing on the postmodernist movement in Britain.
While working briefly for the LCC in 1961-2, Farrell was responsible for the Blackwall Tunnel Ventilation Towers (constructed 1961-4, each listed at Grade II, NHLE 1246736 and 1246738). After 15 years in partnership with Nicholas Grimshaw, which included the Herman Miller Factory, Bath (1976, listed Grade II, NHLE 1415261), Farrell set up practice independently. At that time he was also involved in Charles Jencks' Thematic House, London (1979-84), an early and important essay in postmodernism. Notable projects in Britain, the majority in London, include Clifton Nurseries, Covent Garden, (1980-1), TV am studios, Camden Lock, 1982, now altered; Comyn Ching, Seven Dials (completed 1985); Landmark House, City of London (1985-7), Charing Cross Station (Embankment Place), Westminster (1990); Alban Gate, 125 London Wall (1990-2); MI6 headquarters, Vauxhall (1993); also the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (1995). More recent projects range from the Home Office, London (completed 2005); the Great North Museum, Newcastle (completed 2009) to Bicester Eco Town, Oxon (ongoing). He established an office in Hong Kong in 1991, leading to a prolific practice in Asia, noted for Beijing South Station (completed 2008).
Farrell continues to be an important voice, contributing through published works to current architectural opinion. The Farrell Review of Architecture and the Built Environment (2014) followed a commission from the Department of Culture Media and Sport.
A block of 7 flats arranged over six storeys and basement,1985-7 by the Terry Farrell Partnership as part of the regeneration of Comyn Ching Triangle.
MATERIALS: clad in a mix of a yellow London stock brick, with deep bands of darker buff/grey brick between the storeys and on the corner bays, and glazed blue brick banding and ornament. The ground floor is rusticated masonry, and including the entrances painted dark plum colour. Windows are timber, on the street elevations painted white between blue panels, on the rear elevation painted green/blue; doors, steel canopies and balconies are a dark red colour. Balustrades are now painted grey/black. The scale, forms and palette of materials and colours used in the new buildings complement and provide both a unifying identity and new vitality to the scheme.
PLAN: an angular, near-symmetrical corner block, with modelled entrances on each elevation, square on plan and in six storeys and basement.
EXTERIOR: side elevations, in three bays, converge on an expressive corner bay, which is set back deeply behind a prominent drum at ground floor level, is marked by a set back angle rising through the upper floors and deep oversailing canopies above the attic storey. The drum pier has an incised basal band and flared capital painted grey. Behind it, enclosed by a steel balustrade with the Comyn Ching 'CC' logo, is a light well, with full-height tripartite windows of small paned units and single panes with small paned upper lights, flanked by vertical panels, painted blue, and rising through the basement and ground floor. At basement level part-glazed doors, with integral small-paned paned overlights, open onto a small enclosed yard. Upper floors have similar tripartite windows, with segmental steel balconies. On the fourth and fifth floors canted corner windows with timber brackets rise through two storeys, with blue glazed brick decoration to the flanking brickwork. A deep oversailing canopy, broken at the angle, projects over the ensemble.
The principal, Mercer Street entrance appears cut into the ground floor rustication, which is angled, and is recessed between a pair of simplified columns on short rusticated bases. Set back to the left is a small timber corner window of a single pane beneath four upper lights, and with a deep cill. The door, in a reeded architrave, is painted dark red, has vertical panels below four widely spaced square glazed upper lights, in an arrangement used throughout Comyn Ching. Within the recess, the underside of the internal stairs rises from the right. To the left a quadrant is modelled in the rusticated band.
The Shelton Street entrance is similar but symmetrical, flanked by a single window on each side and columns on tall bases; the door has a plain integral fanlight. Below to each side is a semicircular window with a simple keystone.
Flanking bays have paired casements with four-pane upper lights; and on the first floor have steel window guards. The attic storey is set back, with pilasters between the bays and has a moulded cornice.
At the rear, the inner corner is cut back beneath projecting semi-circular masonry balconies in expressed concrete, which act as canopies to the floor below. As on the street elevation, at upper level the window rises through two storeys. Similarly the ground floor and basement levels also have a double-height window in a diagonally set rectangular concrete well behind a modelled parapet wall. Each floor has a facetted small-paned window unit, painted green/blue, which alternately project outwards or inwards. At the apex is a small lantern on a moulded base.
INTERIOR: on the principal, Mercer Street entrance, the entrance hall has a moulded rusticated dado, and masonry stairs with a slender steel balustrade, the geometric form echoing the idiom used throughout the development.

Atlanta, also known as 'The A', 'ATL' or 'Hotlanta'. This urban and vibrant city is home to a lot of churches, a lot of restaurants and a lot of entertainment. However, Atlanta is not your typical urban city plastered with high-rises and traffic, but also features multiple parks and outdoor festivals. Find out everything you need to know in my solo female travel guide to Atlanta.
Thanks to the great southern weather, Atlanta is worth a visit the whole year round with an average high of 89°F (32°C) in July and an average low of 52°F (11°C) in January. As a tourism and family-friendly city with multiple things to do and see, it is the perfect destination for a weekend trip.
To my surprise and advantage, Atlanta has a pretty reliable public transport system called MARTA, which comprises trains and buses throughout the metro Atlanta area. Trains and buses run on a regular schedule every 10-20 minutes and ticket prices start from as little as $2.50 per ride.
While I certainly appreciate and prefer public transport, the MARTA trains only cover the Perimeter of the city. Which means that a lot of locations are still easier accessible by car. Therefore, I suggest either renting a car or downloading a ridesharing app such as UBER when planning a visit to Atlanta.
As most major US cities Atlanta offers a variety of accommodation types, from budget motels to 5-star hotels. The city is also home to multiple Airbnb listings, with a bedroom or apartment for every type of traveler. Unfortunately for us budget travelers, you won't find a lot of hostels in Atlanta. As an alternative I highly recommend Couchsurfing. Atlanta has a very engaged and fun CS community that is always happy to welcome travelers.
Best areas to stay in, are Downtown Atlanta if you are here for business or work. Midtown Atlanta for families and young adults. And the Atlanta airport area if you are only in the city for a quick layover.

All I can say is Collard Greens!!! No, seriously. Ever since I've been to Atlanta I have discovered my love for southern food. Mostly known for soul food and barbecue, Atlanta cuisine serves, among other things, fried chicken, cornbread, and collard greens.
Popular dishes to try while in the city are the chili hot dogs at The Varsity, the largest drive-thru restaurant in Atlanta. Mary Mac's fried chicken at The Busy Bee Cafe, which is rumored to have the best fried chicken in the south (so they say) and a burger at Holeman & Finch if you want to call yourself a real Atlantean.

What to See
Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site
As the heart of the south, Atlanta is the birth city of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement. The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site comprises Dr. King's birth home, The Ebenezer Baptist Church, the Freedom Hall and a visitor center. The site showcases different exhibitions and movies on the Civil Rights Movement.
If you want to benefit from everything the Site offers, I suggest going in the morning. Since the site is for free, tickets to MLK's birth home are usually gone by noon.
The Georgia Aquarium
Truly the biggest Aquarium I have ever been to, the Georgia Aquarium is definitely worth a visit. In 10 million gallons of water, it houses aquatic animals from all over the world, such as dolphins, penguins and whale sharks. Some of the highlights are their animal encounters and shows which you can reserve online. The Georgia Aquarium is situated in Downtown Atlanta. Therefore, it is easily accessible by car as well as public transport (MARTA).
While the Georgia Aquarium is a little pricey ($30 and up), the attraction offers multiple options to save a few dollars. For example, an early bird rate before 11 am and free admission on birthdays.
Piedmont Park
Hands down my favorite place in Atlanta is Piedmont Park. For someone who enjoys a walk through a beautiful green space, laying in the sun or an occasional jog in the park, it is perfect. Situated right in the heart of the city, Piedmont Park allows residents as well as visitors to flee from the hustle and bustle of the city and recharge. The park also hosts major food and music festivals every year which are worth checking out.
The Atlanta BeltLine
I just can't get enough of the Atlanta BeltLine! Why? Because I pay $15 a month for my relay bikes and really want to get my money worth. But also, because it is fun. At the BeltLine, you will find contemporary street art that makes for great Instagram posts and cozy alternative restaurants and cafes. Checking out the BeltLine is a must for every girly girl and my top 1 recommendation in this solo female travel guide to Atlanta.
Ponce City Market
The marketplace at Ponce City Market is best described as an artisan food hall. On the ground floor, the market offers local flavors of the south, with a wide range of specialty restaurants and bars. The outdoor space is home to décor and clothing stores for bohemian lovers and art enthusiasts. You can easily spend a whole afternoon roaming around the Ponce City Market, just be prepared to spend quite a few $$.
No matter if you are planning a weekend trip or family vacation. This solo female travel guide to Atlanta will help you enjoy the capital of the South.
Love & Light

In this day and ages, finding a decent job is extremely difficult for most people across the length and the breath of country. Needless to say, there is a lot of dependency on the government to provide suitable jobs for the educated Indians. However, of late it has been noticed that the number of vacancies compared to the number of people seeking government jobs is quite low. Yet, thousands of people appear for these exams as they are the best bet for many qualified Indians. As a result of this the competition in most of these examinations is quite high.
Although, cracking these exams may initially feel like a daunting task, but proper exam preparation and planning can make this task seem moderately easy. One has to be extremely smart and careful while preparing for all of these examinations. The syllabus of most of these exams is so vast that it is almost impossible to study every aspect in just few weeks.
Hence, there is a need to be smart and think from a more analytical point of view. There are certain things which are specifically crucial when one is preparing for government sector recruitment exams. The following are some tips to help aspirants plan and execute better.
Get all the information
While preparing for the sarkari jobs it is very important to gather all the important information related to the exam. It should be very systematic. From the first step one should look to find the scheme and the syllabus of the exam. Different subjects and their mark distribution can help one plan the study structure better which can go a long way to ensure success of the person.
One should always stay up-to-date with the sarkari government job online information. One should know when the notifications are out. The candidates should thoroughly check for any changes in the scheme or the syllabus of the exam. This definitely gives an edge at the time of preparation and during the exam too.
Understanding the positives and the negatives
The aspirants must understand that it is very rare for a person to be good in every segment of the exam. Everyone have their strong points and weak points. It is crucial that one should analyse his/her strong and weak areas. One should aim to improve on their weak areas much in advance. However, it is critical that aspirants also simultaneously improves or at least maintain their command over the strong areas. Once the exams approach, it is important to work on the strong areas to ensure that one is able to get maximum marks from the topics of their strength.
Time management
In most of these exams, time is of utmost importance. It is not just that one has to answer the questions correctly but it is also equally important that the answers are given promptly. This holds true not only for the government sector recruitment exams but it is actually true for almost all of the competitive exams. If one goes through the previous years' question papers which are available on various sarkari government job online portals then one can a better idea of the whole pattern.
One must be able to identify these questions and also look to learn the short cut tricks to solve such questions. Such little things can help give one candidate the advantage over the others. These things often prove to be the difference between those who clear the exams and the others who are not able to get the cut off marks.

Most of my reading matter for the spring semester is above. (You can find the syllabi here.) As with ordering from a new and affordable menu, the digestive organ may be too small for the appetite: in other words, perhaps too many books! Extracurricularly, I am currently reading a long, dense book, Saul Bellow's The Adventures … Continue reading Back to School: Literature Springs Eternal
Older generations of writers who had come up through the ranks of journalism (and who had often been to war) used to complain about the academic colonization of literature, particularly of the novel, that ostensibly most democratic of forms. In "American Plastic," for instance, his survey of postmodern fiction, Gore Vidal lamented a context so … Continue reading Back to School: Literature and Life

Howl and Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg My rating: 2 of 5 stars I read this—and I don't think I've ever read this volume as a volume before, though I've read most of its contents, some multiple times over the years—to see if my longstanding judgment upon it holds up to maturer reconsideration. Stereotypically, one … Continue reading Allen Ginsberg, Howl and Other Poems
Unflattening by Nick Sousanis My rating: 2 of 5 stars The pseudo-poet who writes his thesis in poetry is a pitiful writer (and probably a bad poet). From Dante to Eliot and from Eliot to Sanguineti, when avant-garde poets wanted to talk about their poetry, they wrote in clear prose. —Umberto Eco (qtd. here) This … Continue reading Nick Sousanis, Unflattening

...in good democracy every man should be an aristocrat. —Oscar Wilde, Vera; or, The Nihilists One of the things I hope to show with this exhibition is that we tend to think of, say, Borges or Nabokov as geniuses, but really what we're seeing is people who from an early age had access to knowledge … Continue reading At Barmecide's Table: Notes on Literary Education Now
I miss the old Internet days when one just had a blog (or a livejournal!) and it all went there: the pretty pictures, the book reviews, the ancient quotations veiling political fears, the notes on pedagogy, etc. But we must adapt to this multi-platform age if we want to continue to promote every aspect of our … Continue reading Goodreads Review Round-Up & Fall Teaching

Investigation Discovery Inks Deal With Paula Zahn
Investigation Discovery has signed a talent and development deal with former CNN anchor Paula Zahn. The first new program produced under the agreement will be a weekly investigative newsmagazine, hosted by Zahn. Pending a green light, the series will debut this year. Scott Weinberg and Scott Sternberg will executive produce the newsmagazine.
"I am excited to join Investigation Discovery to create a series that's driven by compelling storytelling. The process of uncovering the truth is something I have always been passionate about," said Zahn in a statement. "Scott Weinberger, Scott Sternberg and I are looking forward to a long working relationship and new home with ID."
Zahn joins comedian Whoopi Goldberg's Whoop Inc. in striking a development deal with ID, though Zahn's 30 years of news experience would seem to be a more natural fit for the network's programming.

So says the gigantic sign at the south end of the strip (which I must admit we never actually saw), and if you take the meaning of the adjective as "barely credible", or "of the nature of a fable or myth" you have a pretty accurate summary of the Vegas experience.
Some 2000 feet above sea level in the Mojave desert is hardly a logical home for replicas of the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building and Venetian canals, dancing fountains and a 1.6 million gallon aquarium, and the fact that craggy mountains are visible as you look down almost every street only serves to heighten the sense of unreality that pervades the place.
I thought it felt unreal, anyway. Most of our fellow visitors seemed to take it all in their stride as they sampled the many delights that Vegas has to offer. And strides were necessary – for an American city Vegas is remarkably well set-up for sightseeing on foot (at least, the strip part of it is) and the streets were almost always busy with people walking around.
Most of the hotels are built above casinos, and they all seem very happy for non-residents to wander in and spend some money, whether by gambling or in one of their many bars, restaurants, shopping malls or theatres. Many of the big hotels have different themes (some more successfully executed than others), and it was fascinating to flit from our own (which resembled nothing so much as a glammed-up Travel Lodge) to Egypt by way of New York and Ye Olde Englande, or through fancy Asian to Rome, Paris and Venice.
The classiest of all the hotels was, we decided, the Bellagio, which looked remarkably unpretentious from the outside, and was gorgeously decorated within. The frontage is taken up with what appears to be a small lake, home to the rather wonderful dancing fountains which perform several times an hour throughout the day and evening to the accompaniment of a variety of piped music. We never tired of watching these – lots of examples can be found online, this one on youtube is rather lovely, and we actually saw this one in action. (On a rather irrelevant side note, for some reason they made me think of the dancing flamingos from Fantasia 2000, but never mind!)
Not being terribly interested in gambling, or with any great desire to lose a load of cash, we limited ourselves to dropping a few dollars in the cheapest slot machines we could find, and invested the bulk of our holiday budget in frozen margaritas and tasty meals. We were particularly impressed with Mon Ami Gabi in the Paris hotel as it had a good gluten free menu, delicious food and an authentic Parisian bistro atmosphere.
Despite a distinct lack of museums on the strip (not such a surprise really!), we stumbled across a gallery devoted to Peter Lik's incredible landscape photography, and also admired the Dale Chihuly ceiling installation at the Bellagio.
All in all it was a fun place to spend a weekend, and I'm really glad I went. It's taken me ages to get around to blogging about this, and as it recedes into the past the sense that that a place like this can't possibly exist in real life grows stronger, but I guess that's the point of it all!

Sept. 27, 2005 – Speaking to an audience at Juilliard College, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia last week said that the government should end funding for the arts, and he maintained that if Washington must continue supporting artists, withholding funds from art it disagrees with is perfectly acceptable. The pronouncement reiterated the justice's prior statements and further elucidated recent Court decisions while prompting quick criticism from free-speech advocates.
Scalia's statements came as part of a panel discussion on art and society in the United States that included a noted opera singer, a songwriter and a conservative lawyer, Juilliard's administration noted in a statement following the event. Moderated by Juilliard President Joseph Polisi, the debate became strained at several points with the lyricist, Stephen Sondheim, and Scalia squaring off on artistic expression, the New York Times reports.
According to the Associated Press, Scalia told the assembly: "The First Amendment has not repealed the ancient rule of life, that he who pays the piper calls the tune."
In 1998, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of tying funding for the arts to standards of decency, though it did not offer a clear direction on how far expression can go before violating the principle. Justice David Souter offered the lone dissent in the case.

A list is a searchable collection of products designed to quickly reference items that you frequently order. Rather than searching for individual products and selecting the applicable package type and/or size, lists save time by adding multiple items to cart from a single page. There are three different types of list on Provi:
Recently Ordered Items
After your first order, Provi automatically generates a list containing all items that have been ordered. This list automatically updates with every subsequent order and will contain all items that have been placed in your previous four orders.
Custom Lists
Most users choose to create custom lists by product type (ex: Vodka, Cordials, Beer) or distributor so as to group items in the same format of their PAR, inventory sheet, or order guide.
Combined Lists
Multiple lists can also be grouped together by creating a combined list. The most common use of combined lists is to combine all of your list into one searchable master list with collapsible headers.
