Ratings and ReviewsSee All
This is the most annoying of the bunch
This game was driving me nuts within 5 minutes. I wish there was a way to make it friendly enough for a 2 year old. There's a siren that happens and I don't know or care to figure out how to make it stop or why it's happening. I touched the ambulance and helicopter and nothing happens . The siren just keeps blaring. Very frustrating. Also, there's a "cute" flute melody that is way too loud. Also there's a memory game every once in a while. What does that have to do with hospitals? Also, when a doctor needs something like towels you have to search the whole building to find them. Cant you make it an option that the tools needed are in the same room? Also, I bought all the upgrades but the shopping cart is still there. Why are there more buttons other than start game and an options menu locked by a password?
Awful game
We previously bought Little Doctor and it was precious but this Little Hospital app stinks! It has in-app purchases which I loathe, you can do little more than observe in the rooms while other apps can actually carry out tasks and follow directions. It's really not appropriate for 3+ years!
Also what's with the guy pulling his pants down and mooning the screen? Very inappropriate for children!
Total waste of money and they creators need a total revamp of this game immediately!
This game is awful
Was totally thrown off by the title. There is no fun, engaging games to play for my little one that loves anything that has to do with doctors, nurses or ambulances. Big waste of money. All the game is a week and find and not even a good one at that.

Hi, maybe you give the app a second chance, because I think you didn't find the minigames yet. Have a look in rooms with more the one people in it. (Pro tip: clowns are always funny ;) )

DIY Guass Gun
The article refers to the home-built weapon as a coil gun, but I think that most of my readers are used to referring to this kind of weapon as a Gauss gun, a la Traveller. I did notice that we don't see in the video (after the jump) how long it takes to charge up the capacitors or how many shots the batteries are good for... then again this guy built the thing himself.

If you want to make a difference for people in desperate need of spinal care, World Spine Care (WSC) wants you. Founded by Scott Haldeman, M.D., Ph.D., D.C., Davenport '64, WSC has established spinal health care clinics in parts of the world where there was no access to spine care. World Spine Care has developed clinical protocols implemented in pilot programs in Shoshong and Mahalapye, Botswana. The non-profit organization also has opened a clinic in Moca, Dominican Republic. Other clinics in Tanzania and India are in the development phase. Treatment provided in all WSC clinics follows evidence- based protocols as established by the clinical team. Each clinic is involved in a research program to determine outcomes. To continue this important work, WSC is looking for chiropractors to volunteer their time at one of its clinics. The current need is for volunteer associate clinicians to work for time periods of at least a month. To prepare for future expansion, WSC is developing a database of those interested in being a clinic supervisor and running a WSC clinic for a year or more. If you'd like to be put on this list, contact WSC through the email address or website below. For more information about volunteer opportunities or to apply for a volunteer position, email WSC at email@example.com.

|Carpenter Joe Barclay stripped the Generator Building of its aluminum and homasote siding, made repairs to rotten framing and applied pink building wrap. Joe has since moved back to the east coast, so we've lost a valuable volunteer. Hopefully another carpenter can be brought on board to direct us in applying the new 12" pine siding.
|Masonry cleaner Harold Thede hard at work. Advanced Restoration has the contract for cleaning our cream city brick. Among the several employees who have worked on the Restoration Project, Harold has spent the most time. He's also stepped in several times during his breaks to assist us on other tasks. Determined to finish the work before the weather gets too cold, Advanced Restoration has been working in the rain and wind, even on the weekends.
|Brick cleaning has been our biggest cost so far. The Light Station was covered with many layers of Coast Guard white paint, white wash and, proving most difficult to remove, cement paint which was applied some time prior to 1934. With sand blasting not even considered due to its destructive nature, the bricks are being chemically cleaned and then scrubbed one by one. Talk about labor intensive! Cost of labor and chemical cleaners, $25,000.
|Rebuilding the eaves and gables was a very labor entensive job that took 3 weeks and $18,000 to complete.
|Front steps: one of the first exterior restoration jobs was to rebuild the front entrance steps to their original profile
|Still missing the tower and lantern, the front facade of the Light Station is beginning to look like its old self. Stan's Carpentry meticulously rebuilt the front gable using custom cut lumber.
|We may be in the throes of restoration but visitors still are welcome. The commercial fishing and shipwreck display in the generator building is always a surprise and delight to those who stop by intrigued by the Project.
|Volunteer extraordinaire Ron Mans puts in 20-30 hours a week restoring the interior of the Light Station. To accommodate new insulation, all the old furring strips had to be removed and new ones nailed in place.
|Plumbers at work installing new plumbing and heating systems. Kohler Co. of Sheboygan, WI has donated all new plumbing fixtures. Alderman Burt Babcock and Dan McCotter of McCotter and Hanson have donated the new boilers. Now we just have to get all this installed before winter sets in.
|Project co-chair Rick Smith really gets into his work. To the back of the attic which houses the lamp room, is our Edgar Allen Poe Room. Discovered by some previous Light Station resident, a dead space exists behind the original north brick wall. When finally explored, much of the tower platform boards were uncovered, hidden away since 1934. Also found was a platform railing, cut in two and used to to reinforce the back wall. Most of the wood flooring has now been removed and saved. Insulation will be blown into this space, once again hiding it from view.
|Volunteer Dean Shaver helps prime the wood used to extend the gables and eaves. The gables and eaves were chopped off during the 1934 renovation of the Light Station. Pieces of the original boards were recovered during interior demolition work, so the Project was able to have a millwright exactly duplicate the moldings and soffit boards.
|Volunteer Nancy Simpson installing insulation. Original ceiling joists visible across top of photo. As a concession to current building codes and in an effort to minimize future heating costs, the old walls were removed and new, insulated ones built. A final plaster finish will be applied to the drywall.

Craighead Caverns a.k.a. The Lost Sea
this is the coolest place to visit in TN.. i've only been here twice but it's so worth the trip.. make sure you visit THE LOST SEA if you are ever in Tennessee…. here's info on it from wikipedia
Craighead Caverns

Craighead Caverns is an extensive cave system located in between Sweetwater and Madisonville, Tennessee. It is best known for containing the United States' largest and the world's second largest non-subglacial underground lake, The Lost Sea. In addition to the lake, the caverns contain an abundance of crystal clusters called anthodites, stalactites, stalagmites, and a waterfall.
Located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, the caverns are named after their former owner, a Cherokee native American, Chief Craighead. The caverns were formerly used by the Cherokee as a meeting place and later they were mined by Confederate soldiers for saltpeter, a commodity necessary to the manufacture of gunpowder.[1]
In 1939, explorers found the remains of a Pleistocene jaguar.[1] The persons who made the discovery were cave guides Jack Kyker and Clarence Hicks, who were exploring in the cave during their off hours. They reported their find to Dr. W. J. Cameron and W. E. Michael of Sweetwater, who were the current owners of the cave. The owners submitted the bones to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, where they were identified as bones of a very large jaguar and an elk fawn. George Gaylord Simpson, a vertebrate paleontologist at the museum, subsequently visited Craighead Caverns in May 1940. During his visit, he recovered additional jaguar bones and made casts of several jaguar footprints in the mud floor of the cave. His excavation and findings are reported in American Museum Novitates, No. 1131 (August 6, 1941) on pages 1–12. The report includes photographs of the bones and footprints.
A mushroom farm was operated in the cave from 1939 to 1940. The manure for this operation was supplied from Fort Oglethorpe, where many horses were stabled. The mushroom beds were located in the Big Room, a few hundred feet northeast of the Historic Entrance. In 1947, a wooden dance floor was built in this same area of the cave, and a nightclub, known as the "Cavern Tavern", was operated in the cave.
Craighead Caverns was added to the National Park Service list of National Natural Landmarks in 1974.[2]
The Lost Sea
The lake was discovered in 1905 by a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands. As the story goes Sands, who often played in the cave, happened upon a small opening and crawled through. The room was so large he was unable to see the ends of the room with his lantern, so he threw balls of mud in all directions and heard splashes. When he went back home and told people of his discovery they were hesitant to believe him. By the time Ben convinced his father to go back down with him to explore it further, the water level had risen, hiding the cave entrance from them. It was rediscovered by local explorers several years later.
The visible surface of the lake measures 800 feet (240 m) long and 220 feet (67 m) wide (4.5 acres (1.8 ha)) at normal "full" capacity.[1] Cave divers have explored several rooms that are completely filled with water, without reaching the end of the cave. This exploration was conducted in the 1970s.
For many years The Lost Sea was considered the world's largest underground lake and is still recognized as the world's second largest non-subglacial underground lake[1] after Dragon's Breath Cave, Namibia.[3]
Boat tours of the lake are still given and for many people are the highlight of the tour. In times of extreme drought (such as 2007-08) the lake recedes significantly and the management had to extend the walkway and the boat dock in order to be able to provide the boat tours. According to the management of the Lost Sea, the water level in the lake dropped 28 feet below its normal level at the height of the drought. At such times visitors see a much larger cavern above the lake surface.

The #DoMagick Challenge Day 21
Today I did galdr with Laguz.
Unlike other days where I had to contend with mental chatter, today I put in earplugs. They worked fairly effectively; all I could hear was my own breathing and speaking as I made the Fire Prayer and cleansed with Fire.
In the first round of galdr I was back at the shores of Lake Michigan and especially Lake Superior. I was galdring Laguz over the waters as I had when our family took our vacation/pilgrimage two years ago. I was placing my head in the waters once again, and I could feel the blessings and cleansings of the two Lakes wash over me again in that space. I stood on the shore and sang to the waters. Then, in the last part of the round, I saw the fish of the Great Lakes. There was a fish in my hands, on my spear, on my line. One after another, the great fish of this place looking up at me as I prayed over them, asking for their wisdom and thanking them for the gift of their bodies.
In the second round of galdr I was on a lighthouse and making sure the light could shine out to the ships out in the Lakes. I believe I was on Lake Superior given the immensity of the waves. It was not oceanfront, that I knew. In the next part of the round I was on the dock as great ships put into harbor. Here was an oceanfront, bustling with business. As with the fish, I went through a few eras. The dock of an ancient German town, the dock of Ellis Island as my Great Grandfather came off the boat from the Netherlands, the dock of what I believe is Detroit bringing in a ship to drop off cargo.
In the third round of galdr the waves crested and broke. I was in them. Was them. Tide was coming in, going out, and the vastness of waters was in me and I was in them. I sloshed on the waves as I made landfall. I was suddenly in a procession, a wagon behind us being pulled by oxen, draped with a white sheet. Then I was in a canoe, paddling in a small lake at an old family gathering. We brought the canoe aground and Dad hoisted it back to where we rented it. Then the ocean and the waves, mermaids and so many Beings filling its waters. The Great Lakes and the mermaids and so many Beings filling Their waters. The last of the connective galdr I remember was Lake Superior again, and the waves lapping around my feet as I knelt in Her Waters.
I did my prayers of thanks to Rúnatýr and the Runevaettir. I cleansed with the candle and prayed prayers of thanks to the Eldest Ancestor.

For Polydeukion on His Festival Day During the Festival of the Trophimoi and Treiskouroi
Again, I want to thank P. Sufenas Virius Lupus for asking me to write this. This prayer is for Polydeukion, and it was first said before His bust in the Kelsey Museum in Ann Arbor, Michigan at the start of the Festival of the Trophimoi and Treiskouroi at PSVL's request.
Khairete Polydeukion!
Hero of Herodes, Herodes' Son,
Youthful One, Watcher of the Baths,
Overseer of Games
Whose eyes shine in blessings,
Whose body is strength and vigor
Whose hands and speech do honor unto the Gods'
Oh Roman Knight!
Most Pious!
Exalted Student!
Let us never forget the Wisdom of Youth.
Let us remember the brightness of intellect is kindled and tended well in the soul, the heart, and the mind of every youth.
Io Polydeukion!
For Antinous on His Festival Day During the Festival of the Trophimoi and Treiskouroi
I want to thank P. Sufenas Virius Lupus for asking me to write this and the prayer that is forthcoming for Polydeukion. While I do not actively worship either of these Holy Powers as of yet, it has given me a new window into how we can cross between our religious communities, come to understand one another's Gods, Heroes, Ancestors, and spirits, and give good honor to Them and one another. This, this is an aspect of interfaith/intrafaith work that any polytheist can come to. Thank you Sannion, for helping to inspire this exchange! I invite any of my readers who wish to do this as well, especially if you wish to share devotional cycles with one another, even if we are coming at this from completely different pantheons, to step through the door and share your devotion with me and I with you. If you do, please, let me know taboos, offerings, and so on that is important to living in good Gebo with your God(s), Heroes, Ancestors, and/or spirits so I do not give offense in offering.
Khairete Antinous!
Most-loved of Hadrian,
Whose lips sealed love in an Emperor,
Whose arms took up his care,
Whose feet walked in holiness,
Whose life is exulted in stone and verse,
Whose body sank into Sacred Waters,
Whose soul was lifted in holiness
O Antinous, hear my prayer,
Who is and lives in the House of Osiris
Whose body is clad in green and life
Whose eyes see the Dead,
Whose lips speak love and comfort to the Dead,
Whose arms soothe the Dead,
Whose feet are planted deep in the womb of the World,
May the Dead who loved, who lost, who suffered
May the Dead who were denied their love and joy and lust,
May all find comfort before You in Your Home,
O holy Antinous!
Io Antinous!

By pre-calculating the digests we can manually construct the emoji URLs, removing the need for using Rails' asset URL helpers. The reason we don't want to use these helpers for Emojis is two-fold: 1. Rails' image_url() method is slow, really slow. For one it _might_ have to calculate digests but it also performs a lot of other intensive operations (judging by the source code and based on measuring timings). 2. We have a lot of Emoji which coupled with the above can result in it taking minutes to load Emoji autocomplete data. Using this pre-calculation setup generating the digests takes around 7 seconds (including the time it takes to start Rails/Rake), and only around 600 milliseconds to load _all_ the autocomplete data of a project (measured locally). This commit _does_ change the Emoji URLs from absolute to relative URLs as these are much easier to generate. To update the Emoji data simply run: rake gemojione:digests Then commit any changes.

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) at NIST recognizes the need to address security and privacy challenges for the use of shared cloud services in hybrid cloud architectures, and has launched this project. This project is using commercially available technologies to develop a cybersecurity reference design that can be implemented to increase security and privacy for cloud workloads on hybrid cloud platforms.
This project will demonstrate how the implementation and use of trusted compute pools not only will provide assurance that workloads in the cloud are running on trusted hardware and are in a trusted geolocation, but also will improve the protections for the data within workloads and flowing between workloads. This project will result in a NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide - a publicly available description of the solution and practical steps needed to implement a cybersecurity reference design that addresses this challenge.
A cloud workload is an abstraction of the actual instance of a functional application that is virtualized or containerized to include compute, storage, and network resources. Organizations need to be able to monitor, track, apply, and enforce their security and privacy policies on their cloud workloads, based on business requirements, in a consistent, repeatable, and automated way. The goal of this project is to develop a trusted cloud solution that will demonstrate how trusted compute pools leveraging hardware roots of trust can provide the necessary security capabilities. These capabilities not only provide assurance that cloud workloads are running on trusted hardware and in a trusted geolocation or logical boundary, but also improve the protections for the data in the workloads and in the data flows between workloads. The example solution leverages modern commercial off-the-shelf technology and cloud services to address a particular use case scenario: lifting and shifting a typical multi-tier application between an organization-controlled private cloud and a hybrid/public cloud over the internet.

I saw a link the other day to an article entitled, "Don't take weight loss advice from a bodybuilder."
The basic premise of the article is that bodybuilders are too extreme and don't relate to the average person because their training and dieting is too hard and strict and blah blah blah. Whinge, whinge, whinge.
This struck me as odd. Considering bodybuilders take their body to the absolute extreme of body composition, it would only seem logical that a bodybuilder would be who you would seek advice from if you were looking to change your body even slightly.
Kind of like if you wanted to be rich and had access to a billionaire but didn't want their advice because they were too rich.
I've long said that most clients will reach maybe 50-70% of the levels of change and strength in comparison to their coach. It's not an insult. It's simply because they don't care about it as much as the coach does.
If the coach is awesome: lean, toned, muscular, strong and generally looks fantastic then coming up 50-70% of that is pretty damn good. However if the coach is a fat, weak, useless git who preaches wellness, variety, flexibility, being happy with yourself, averageness and advises you to not lift that heavy weight, well 50-70% of shit is……..
Im not a bodybuilder. Not really anyway. Not in the sense of a person who trains to compete in bodybuilding shows. Although I guess a case could be made that I am one as I train and diet to get stronger and change my body by having more muscle and less fat. You know, building the body I want. But, I have absolutely no desire, no care, and no interest in competitive bodybuilding. To me bodybuilding shows are right up there with grass growing and paint drying.
With that being said, I like the look of bodybuilders. I like muscle. I like people who look strong. I like people who are strong. I like people who train hard.
It's because of that like, I train and diet the way that I do. Because I want to look something like that.
Do I want to look like a Mr Olympia competitor? Not in the slightest. Even if my genetics allowed it, I'm not willing to do what they do to look how they look. I just don't care enough to go that far. Which means I will only ever come up 50-70% (thats being kind) of what they are. And I'm ok with that.
If you want to achieve something, then seek those who are the BEST in that field. They have the best advice. They've done what you want and taken it even further. What you do with that advice will determine your level of success with your goals.
Choosing someone who is average because its more comfortable and relatable will have you doing the same old thing over and over and over and going no where.
In the context of changing a body, bodybuilders are the BEST at it. Don't ignore what they say because it's too extreme, too hard or too strict. You need to get out of your comfort zone.
How far you choose to take it is a personal choice, but choosing average over extreme wont get you very far at all.

Blake Shelton admits that he and ex-wife, Miranda Lambert, are on good terms after their summer divorce.
The couple began seeing each other in 2006 but it wasn't until May 2011 that the country pair tied the knot. They seemed like a match made in honky tonk heaven until they surprised fans in July of this year. In a joint announcement they told fans about their divorce. Their statement read:
"This is not the future we envisioned. And it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately."
To avoid any tabloid hay-day, the country superstars filed for divorce in Oklahoma where the proceedings were over with quickly and without a hitch.
He told Bobby:
"Miranda and I didn't have any kids, and we had our prenuptial agreement. Once we filed for divorce, it was over in a nine- or 10-day waiting period."
Four years of marriage and a decade of companionship seemed to come to an abrupt end. But did it?
Blake Shelton told Bobby Bones on the Bobby Bones show that now, two months after their split, they are in a good place and are even friends!
Shelton said:
"Our whole thing was, you know, we're just going to be cool about this. It is what it is. We're buddies."
With a solid foundation of friendship and such a long partnership it doesn't come as much of a surprise that the two are pushing through so cordially. You can't just sever off ten years of your life.
So if fans can't have the marriage…I'm sure they'll settle for the pair remaining "buddies"!

Updated 10:01 a.m.
Good Friday morning to you. Spring is moving slowly.
It'll be nice enough to step outside this weekend, but not always nice enough to stay there.
Perfect weather for a movie.
New Directors/New Films, the annual festival for emerging talent, opened this week at MoMA and the Film Society of Lincoln Center.
Manohla Dargis, the co-chief film critic for The Times, told us it's a good year.
"People may want to get on a train or bus or car for this," she said.
There are 27 feature films in the festival. (The schedule is here.)
Where to start?
This weekend: "The Babadook."
It's an Australian film about a single mother in a haunted house.
Overall: "The highlight for me, the knockout, was a film from Iran called 'Fish and Cat,'" Ms. Dargis said.
The story revolves around a restaurant in the countryside that might be run by cannibals.
For scenes of our city, try "She's Lost Control."
It's about a woman who works as a sex surrogate while getting her degree.
"New York is a character in a way, in that sometimes, it's the only familiar thing in her life," Ms. Dargis said.
Here's what else you need to know for Friday and the weekend.
Just a nice old sunny, slightly chilly spring day, with a breeze and a high around 50.
Tomorrow: much warmer — mid 60s — but cloudy, with maybe a shower in the morning.
Chilly again Sunday, with highs only in the 40s.
Subways: Check latest status.
Rails: Check L.I.R.R., Metro-North or N.J. Transit status.
Roads: Check traffic map or radio report on the 1s or the 8s.
Alternate-side parking is in effect.
Weekend Travel Hassles: Check subway disruptions or list of street closings.

It was not a toaster or a bread slicer. (Sliced bread was still decades away.)
It was the first commercial passenger elevator.
Elisha Graves Otis's steam-powered device, in the Haughwout and Company store, took about 15 seconds to get from one floor to the next.
But it got there.
The Haughwout Building still stands at 488 Broadway.
The elevator has been replaced.

I'm hard to please. Let's just get that out in the open. But I'm also quite happy with the simple things in life. Like that hot milk I'm going to tell you about. It was better than the 'fancy' afternoon tea in the Glasgow hotel I went to last week.
And I don't object to overbaked 'kladdkaka' as long as the people selling it calls it chocolate cake, which is what it is. For it to be 'kladd' anything, you will have had nerves of steel and removed the cake from the oven when it still looks like dark brown soup. I'm afraid I recently wrote to the very attractive Oxford restaurant where we had a really enjoyable Easter lunch and shared my tip of sitting in front of the oven as the cake cooks. That way you are less likely to end up with the oxymoron that is dry kladdkaka.
I've not heard back!
The very same day, I had been treated to an unexpected elevenses in a Danish style café – Ole & Steen – also in Oxford. Not being very hungry – which is so not like me – I chose a plain (hah) kransekage. It was small, but larger than the ones I'm used to. It was divine! I am plotting ways to return and have another one. I mean, what's seven hours on the train if you can eat such perfection?
Unlike the afternoon tea at the hotel in central Glasgow, that I will leave nameless. I liked the hotel and where it was. I enjoyed my long chat with Pippi who was over in Scotland again. The tea was cheap, at around £12. But oh, what dreadful sandwiches! Nice enough scone, but not the jam. The little cakes tasted better than they looked, but then I had low expectations. The tea was on the strong and cold side.
Having said all this, I would go back. It was a convenient and nice place to meet.
In Berlin last month Daughter and I struggled to find suitable words – in German – to get across our wish for black tea, that we wished to un-black with milk. Cold milk, please. The first afternoon brought green tea with no milk until Daughter popped back inside and asked. She returned to our pavement table bearing a jug of beautifully warmed milk! After pondering the possibilities, I poured some hot milk into my green tea. It was seriously weird, but almost OK when taken with cake.
And it had us in paroxysms of laughter when we thought about it afterwards.
By now you will have worked out I am a nightmare guest for tea, so I give you the new café in Stirling's King Street; Loving Food. Had a gorgeous scone there the other day. One of the best I've had.
I also reckon it will be easier for me to go to again, unlike Ole & Steen…

A lady was in the hospital in Dalton, GA with kidney failure. Her creatinine dn level was 9.5. She was told when the level reached 10, she would die and they told her she had about seven days to live.
A family member received some of the oil, went to the hospital, anointed and prayed for her. Her family began to notice on the fifth, sixth and seventh day after the prayer and anointing, she began to improve. When they re-checked her creatinine dn level again on day nine, it was normal at 1.5! She was healed and released from the hospital!

The Don is back – cue more boozing and schmoozing
What are we talking about?
It's nearly here: after a lengthy wait of 17 months, series five of the 1960s-set advertising agency drama Mad Men finally arrives.
Elevator Pitch
Hamm it up! Mad Men is back.
Prime Movers
Creator Matthew Weiner is in charge again, but Jon Hamm super-fans will be pleased to note that he is making his directorial debut on the second episode.
The Stars
Fear not – Hamm hasn't given up Don Draper for a place behind the camera. There's still plenty of Don...and, of course, plenty of Christina Hendricks as Joan, John Slattery as Roger, Elizabeth Moss as Peggy, January Jones as Betty and Vincent Kartheiser as Pete.
The Early Buzz
A series of teaser trailers have been released and caused much excitement, despite containing no new material. The Daily Mail wrote, "He is arguably the most popular character currently gracing television screens. And the return of Mad Men's hard-drinking masculine icon Don Draper is being celebrated by the show's makers ... In a trailer called 'Don's Back', actor Jon Hamm is shown combing his hair, filling his hip flask, seducing a woman and even making a marriage proposal." The Hollywood Reporter pointed out that, "The first promos for the new season have been released, but if fans were expecting any clues about the new season, they'll be disappointed. The clips ... show Jon Hamm and John Slattery's characters up to their usual habits of boozing, schmoozing and enjoying the company of women." But then, that is just what we were hoping to see, right?
Insider Knowledge
The series begins with a two-hour double bill, which Weiner insists is more of a "Mad Men movie" than just two episodes stuck together.
It's great that...
We only have to wait a mere two days after the Americans for Mad Men to be shown on these shores. Should be easy enough to avoid spoilers, then.
It's a shame that...
Not everyone will get to see it, since Sky Atlantic is only available to Sky subscribers. RTE have yet to say when they will show it.
Hit Potential
It's so eagerly awaited, and has been so pitch-perfect up to now, that it seems sure to be a hit – unless it's backlash time for the previously impeccable production.
The Details
Mad Men series five will air on Sky Atlantic from 27 March

The Lost Dogs started out as folk-ish side project for a few graying rockers, but now - after 10 years of making music together and 6 studio albums - these puppies have seemingly found a comfortable and consistent artistic home to huddle together within.
For the most part, the Dogs - Terry Taylor, Mike Roe and Derri Daugherty - have all but abandoned anything resembling rock on these group discs, and "Nazarene Crying Towel" is by far their most country and downright gentle recording of all. Except for the raw blues from the guitar and voice of Mike Roe on "Crying Out Loud," this is primarily a whisper of a disc- aurally speaking.
Also, its overt spirituality sometimes makes it come off closer to a praise and worship album, more than anything else. Due to its consistently hushed vibe, it's sometimes easy to pass over this release's subtle charms. "Be My Hiding Place," for example, is truly a beautiful and simple prayer. There's no real reason to teach these old dogs any new tricks, since the tried-and-true ones are obviously still doing the job just fine. It's just much too soon to throw in the towel, Nazarene, or otherwise.

CBS master programme Master of Public Administration (MPA) contacted Stagis because they needed a new, more clear and modern corporate visual identity.
The programme targets ambitious leaders in the public sector, who acts in a complex reality. This requires a complex set of tools, which MPA offers their participants.
Management with a wide perspective
MPA participants and public leaders in general deal with a wide range of challenges in an everyday, where there is no black or white. There is a constant presence of dilemmas to deal with and rarely no right answers.
Demands for results are constantly growing, while savings in the public sector are constantly launched. The participants of MPA are required to have a wide perspective, strategic skills at the highest level – and most important the wish to make a change in this world.
Stagis developed a new visual identity using a clear blue colour as a base. The colour signals ambitions and a "business" mindset.
We used the dilemmas from the present public debate as platform for the campaign. The campaigns display issues from the public sector seen from different angles, and they invite for further discussion.
The blue MPA universe presents a world of dilemmas, where one object can be interpreted in two very different ways. E.g. the baby pig which can be read as a source of pollution or a source for job creation depending on the eye that sees.
Public leaders are a very diverse target group, and the illustrations invite the leaders to reflect over what they see. E.g. the brick illustration can be perceived as potential trouble at Nørrebro if you are a police officer – or it can be seen as building material for city renewal if you work within the construction and engineering management.
The new campaign for MPA presents the dilemmas of the public sector and shows the faces of the many enthusiastic leaders. Many of these leaders use their ambition to try and create a better future for the public Denmark.
The new identity encourages the public leaders to use their own ambitions to lead the way and create a new and better future for the public Denmark. This is boiled down in our suggestion for a new pay off called: Din Ambition. Danmarks fremtid. ("your ambition – the future of Denmark").
Stagis har udviklet ny corporate visual identity (CVI) for masterprogrammet Master of Public Administration på CBS. Masteren er målrettet ambitiøse offentlige ledere, som ønsker at gøre en forskel for samfundet. Vi byggede et blåt univers op, hvor illustrationer, som kan forstås på to vidt forskellige måder, er centrale elementer. Fx baby-grisen, som både kan være kilde til forurening, men også kan være en jobskaber.

FLINT (WJRT) - (08/22/17) - A well-known automotive supplier has chosen to build a new plant in Flint. The move by Lear Corporation will create about 600 new jobs in the city.
The plant will be built at the site of the former Buick administration building. They'll be producing seats for Flint-built General Motors pickups.
The Michigan Strategic Fund approved a state grant worth up to $4.35 million to build a $29 million plant. Flint is offering a 50 percent property tax abatement.
"They chose Flint, Michigan over Mexico and that's great for the citizens of Flint and for everyone in Michigan. I'm very excited," said State Sen. Jim Ananich, (D) Flint.
Ground will be broken this fall on the south side of Hamilton Avenue for construction of a 100,000 square foot facility, and 435 new jobs will be created, with 165 Lear employees transferring to Flint.
"Having a well-respected-around-the-world company like Lear come into Flint is great news for this community," said Tim Herman, Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce CEO.
It's hoped with Lear locating in Flint other companies will want to set up shop here.
"When they see one come, then others want to come and this really gives us leverage to make those kinds of things happen. It's really nice it's happening at the former Buick City site," said Karen Weaver, Flint mayor.
"I think we're going in the right direction. Having a company like Lear come into Flint is going to motivate other companies to look at us. It not only helps us in business, but helps the image of this community," Herman said.
If everything goes smoothly, the new plant should be up and running sometime in 2018.

WINNIPEG – The Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF) is pleased to announce the recipients of its Public Education Advocacy Award, Outstanding Aboriginal Educator Award and Special Recognition Awards for 2014.
"CTF recognizes that the work teachers do, although rewarding, is incredibly challenging. The teachers and the organization we have chosen to honour with these awards take on taxing work and transform it into a beautiful opportunity to effect young lives," said CTF President Dianne Woloschuk. "For that, we cannot thank them enough."
The winner of the Special Recognition Award is Peter Wohlgemut, for his commitment to gender equality in the classroom, as well as his extensive involvement with the Manitoba Teachers' Society. Wohlgemut received media attention when he was asked by his school district to take down a sign he had up in his classroom advertising a safe space for LGBTT students. Wohlgemut's dedication to his students and refusal to back away from controversial issues is deservedly recognized with this award.
The second special recognition award goes to beloved teacher and former CTF President Maureen Morris. Morris was actively involved with the Provincial Association of Protestant Teachers and the Lakeshore Teachers' Association, which was later subsumed into the Pearson Teachers' Union. Aside from being CTF President from 1995-1997, she was also President of the Quebec Provincial Association of Teachers' from 2004 until 2008. Morris, who was a lifelong elementary school teacher, passed away on June 2, 2014. She is survived by her husband, two children and grandson.
Mary Courchene has won the Outstanding Aboriginal Educator Award for her years of service as a teacher, principal, counselor, dean of aboriginal education and now Elder-in-residence. Despite having begun her education in a residential school, Courchene rose above the trauma she experienced to become an inspirational leader to both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students.
Lastly, the Public Education Advocacy Award goes to the Centre franco-ontarien de ressources pédagogiques (CFORP) for the work it has done to promote French language education in Ontario. Through its extensive programming and admirable mandate, CFORP is a leader in educational innovation for students, teachers and teacher leaders.
"Each award recipient is a huge asset to the Canadian public education system, and we are so grateful for their service and commitment to education," concluded Woloschuk.
Award recipients were nominated by their teacher Member organization before being chosen as the award winners. The awards will be presented at CTF's Annual General Meeting at the Fairmont Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba on Thursday, July 10.
The Canadian Teachers' Federation is an alliance of nearly 200,000 elementary and secondary educators from 17 organizations (15 Members, one affiliate member and one Associate Member across Canada). CTF is also a member of Education International, a global alliance of educators. Follow CTF on Twitter: @CanTeachersFed and @EnseigneCanada.
