This concert or show has concluded.
The Talleys' top priority in concert is to lift up Christ in their music while presenting the message with class and excellence. Their professionalism is only superseded by their ability to connect with an audience through warmth and sincerity.
They have enjoyed 10 number one singles, with 2 streaks of consecutive chart-toppers. Their most awarded, recognizable and requested songs include the hits:
The Healer
I Love The Lord
The Answer Is Christ
Jesus Saves
His Life For Mine
The Debt
The Broken Ones That's Enough
Life Goes On
In addition to these, they have received accolades for their hits "My Hope Is In The Lord," "Mountain Mover," "Orphans of God," "Testify," "The Promise," "He's Alive," and "Applause."
Their songs and recordings have received awards and nominations from the Dove Awards, Singing News Fan Awards, the Southern Gospel Music Guild Harmony Honors, the BMI Awards and SGN Music Awards. Each member of the Talleys has received individual honors for their work.
The Talleys perform over 100 concerts per year and their travels have taken them all over the world. Overseas tours have brought them to Norway, Northern Ireland, Italy and South Africa. They regularly appear on the National Quartet Convention stage, the Singing In The Sun and Gatlinburg Gathering. They have performed on numerous Gaither Homecoming videos and were fixtures on the Gaither Homecoming Concert Tour from 1999-2005. They have graced the most legendary stages in America including Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, the Ryman Auditorium and the Grand Ole Opry. The Talleys were featured guests on the Billy Graham Crusade and have appeared on television with Pastor John Hagee, Dr. Charles Stanley and Oral Roberts Ministries.
Roger, Debra, and Lauren are involved in many endeavors individually and keep a busy traveling and recording schedule, but they are focused on one goal: sharing the message of Christ. Whether in a church sanctuary, on a concert stage or around the dinner table, their focus is God and family.
Individual Biographies: ROGER TALLEY Accomplished pianist, producer, arranger and singer Roger Talley has enjoyed over 35 successful years in gospel music that began in the Smoky Mountains of east Tennessee. Roger grew up on the family farm and when not working in the fields, was at the piano playing and singing with his siblings. After graduating from the University of Tennessee with a degree in agricultural business, Roger received a phone call from Claude Hopper, which began Roger's gospel music career as the Hoppers' pianist and arranger for 10 years. In 1984 Roger, wife Debra and brother Kirk formed the Talleys, one of Christian music's most acclaimed and groundbreaking groups, with a tradition that continues today.
Roger's skills are to be credited for the Talleys' innovative arrangements and musical style. In addition to the Talleys' recordings, Roger has produced many artists such as Jake Hess, Ivan Parker, the Collingsworth Family, the Greenes, the Kingsmen, Sue Dodge, Tribute Quartet and the John Hagee Family. Roger has been awarded for his achievements in recording by the Southern Gospel Music Guild Harmony Honors in 2004 and the SGN Music Awards in 2007 as Producer of the Year. Roger co-owns the Summit Recording Studio in Morristown, Tennessee and is also a board member of Abraham Productions, which sponsors the Singing In The Sun, the Gatlinburg Gathering and numerous other marquee events in gospel music.
When not on stage or in the studio, Roger enjoys following all University of Tennessee sports teams and the Tennessee Titans. He can usually be found on his cell phone or with a crossword puzzle in hand.
DEBRA TALLEY In gospel music circles, few names are respected and admired as much as Debra Talley. Born and raised in Clinton, Kentucky, Debra sang in church from an early age until she began traveling and singing full-time with the Song Masters Quartet in 1974. She performed on stage with the Hoppers from 1979-1982. Debra co-founded the Talleys in 1984 with husband Roger and brother-in-law Kirk Talley. She now shares the stage with Roger, daughter Lauren and son-in-law Brian Alvey. In her 37-year career, Debra has received 8 Singing News Fan Awards, 4 Southern Gospel Music Association awards, and numerous nominations for Female Vocalist and Alto of the Year.
Debra has been a vocal and performance instructor at the Steve Hurst School of Music for 17 years. She has also co-written several songs recorded by the Talley Trio and other artists, such as "Built On The Rock," "Travelin' Light," "Because Someone Prayed," and "I Still Believe." She has made guest appearances on many recordings including Mark Bishop's The Fields Of Love. She recorded "Somebody Bigger Than You and I" as a duet with the legendary Jake Hess on his last recording. Debra has been a featured vocalist on many Gaither Homecoming videos and concerts performing her signature song, "Thinkin' About Home." One of her greatest honors came when she was asked to perform the song at the funeral of gospel icon James Blackwood.
Debra's golden alto voice is one of the most recognized in the gospel music world and her warmth and humble personality have endeared her to audiences throughout her extensive career. She loves people and communicates the message of Christ in a loving and sincere way. Debra loves cooking, decorating and home improvement projects (she even has her own toolbox!). She is a very vocal supporter of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols and loves just spending time at home with family and friends.
LAUREN TALLEY ALVEY Born into a rich musical heritage, Lauren Talley Alvey has become one of the most versatile artists in Christian music. This extremely talented young lady with a passion for ministry is not only an accomplished vocalist, but is also an author, producer/arranger, voice/performance coach and studio background singer.
From age 2, Lauren was a staple in the Talleys' concerts and grew up listening to many styles of music. She credits the Martins and CeCe Winans as her greatest influences in Christian music. By age 13, Lauren had developed her own unique style and today is an instantly recognizable voice in the gospel music world. Along with performing on stage with the Talleys, Lauren has an extensive solo career and has recorded four solo albums. Her latest, Songs In The Night, accompanies her first book of the same title. Lauren has been honored with three Singing News Fan Awards, two SGN Music Awards and a Southern Gospel Music award for her individual work.
She has been a voice/performance coach for the Steve Hurst School of Music for 10 years and has worked with many up-and-coming artists including the Browns, the Beene Family, the Jody Brown Indian Family, New Desire and CS&K. Lauren also has performed background vocals for many artists including Paul Simon, Randy Travis, Jake Hess, Ivan Parker, the Collingsworth Family and Mark Bishop. Her collaborative efforts include duets with David Phelps, Jason Crabb and Mark Bishop. In 2001 Lauren appeared on an episode of the CBS drama "Touched By An Angel." She has appeared on many Gaither Homecoming videos and concerts alongside the Gaither Vocal Band, Guy Penrod, Mark Lowry, David Phelps and many other gospel music legends.
On June 25, 2011, Lauren married the love of her life, Brian Alvey, and is excited about the new opportunities God is placing in front of her to speak to audiences, teach her Songs In The Night Power Study and share that broken people can find hope in Jesus Christ. When she's not on the road, Lauren is in the kitchen cooking down-home Southern food for her husband or watching the University of Tennessee sports teams and the Indianapolis Colts.

I recently adopted a beautiful Lab/Pit from the Humane Society and couldn't be happier with her... Now however my apartment wants proof of her breed, and I am learning fast NO apartments will take her. This should have been addressed at the adoption? I feel like we were tricked, now I am attached to this harmless pup they are saying is a "dangerous" breed. We live in the Seattle area and need to rent a place that allows her, any ideas?

Avanti Isis DriGear Bait & Tackle Carryalls
I heard on the news today that 2012 could well be the wettest year in the UK since records began. No surprise there! Thing is, we can either whine about it from the comfort of our homes, or deal with it. By 'deal with it', I mean dress accordingly and treat our tackle the same.
This is where the Avanti Isis Bait & Tackle Carryalls come in handy.
Avanti is a budget range of fishing tackle and this is their 'top-end' stuff. Therefore, it's still cheap by most standards, but of a pretty good quality.
This particular product is, basically, two waterproof tackle bags that interlock in order to make them easy to carry. You can also carry them separately, if you wish; the top bag has a padded handle and the larger bottom bag has both handles and a shoulder strap.
The bags themselves are made from a tough EVA material, which means they should be 100% waterproof (mine haven't leaked!). The frame of them keeps them box-shaped, but it is important to note that these are bags, not a seatbox!
There are two sizes available and the large size that I have is cavernous, so get the ruler out and judge which size you need for your needs BEFORE you order!
Basically, ANY angler who is sick of his tackle and bait getting soaked! For me, it's an ideal bag to have on a beach or boat, where you don't need rain to get soaked – the waves have a habit of sorting that bit for you! Like any saltwater gear, though, give them a rinse in freshwater when you get home – salt will eat just about any zip ever made!
I can also see them coming in useful for freshwater anglers, whether static or roaming. Personally, I will take the complete set as a dry-store when I'm carp fishing for a few days, whereas I will only need the top section if I'm doing a bit of mobile, or day, fishing. It's just somewhere handy to throw everything to stop it getting soaked; one less thing to worry about.
My only concern would be that I'm not sure if the carry straps would take a really heavy load. I don't want to find out the hard way and, to be honest, try not to carry excessive weights these days, anyway. They may well cope, but straps and fastenings are always my worry with cheaper tackle. Treat these tackle bags right and there's no reason why they should let you down.
The Avanti Isis Bait & Tackle Carryalls retail at £25 for the medium and £30 for the large. A small price to pay for convenience and peace of mind. CLICK HERE to check availability.

More Land Dispute Backa Gungulung!
Tensions are running high in the Holy Emmanuel Extension. The real threat of losing their land is looming over the heads of the settlers who call the area home, many for more than ten years. The threat is actually nothing new, but tonight there is added fuel to that long burning fire. These residents who moved here when it was nothing but swamp and jungle were told that they could apply, officially, for their parcels of land. But when they attempted to do so they've been turned back. That's bad enough…but now they've gotten information that Area Representative Mark King has been signing recommendations for those very same parcels. It's a potentially explosive situation, and Mike Rudon has the latest.
Mike Rudon, Reporting
For years, nobody cared when poor Belizeans and immigrants moved into this wetland at the far edge of the Lake Independence constituency. Politicians ensured that they received their citizenship and, of course, their voters' IDs, and that was that. But suddenly this area, known as Gungulung, has become prime real estate, thanks to the Chetumal Street Bridge. And that's why the settlers who lay claim to almost seventy lots are up in arms. Their Area Representative, Mark King, promised them that they could apply to own their parcels, but somehow that hasn't worked out.
Fatima Cruz, Resident
"He came pon news and he seh everybody weh live back ya must go and apply for land. I went again. Recently I went when they midi move those people, and they tell me I must wait again because they still noh ready."
Bernarda Rivera, Resident
"He said to us come to my office, come and apply, come let us work together…everybody has been to Minister Mark King's office and all they get is the map has not been approved yet…the map is not ready yet. He told me personally that the map has not been authenticated as yet, but that is a lie."
And they know it is a lie because they've gotten hold of the official survey map of the area, concluded, authenticated and completely official since July 2014. And that's not all that has fuelled fear and anger in this close-knit community.
Bernarda Rivera
"We have discovered that he has issued our land…he has given recommendation letters to his cronies, to his people, to his employees, to his committee members, to his relatives…he has given them the recommendation letters. He has personally taken those applications to Belmopan…nothing to do with the people living here now."
Candy Garbutt, Resident
"This is not fair. It's wrong. How can they say that they are a government for the people? They are out for their people it looks like. We don't have any money. They are out for the people with money. It's not right. It's not right. That is what they're doing. The rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer. The poor try to get up and do something for themselves and they hold them down every time."
Bernarda Rivera
"What will happen when those applications get approved? They will get a title. And what will happen with the title? The Minister will not come and move us. He thinks he's smart. His people will come with title and say you have to move from Lot Six, you have to move from Lot Ten, you have to move from Lot Twenty-Three A, you have to move from Lot Eleven, you have to move from Lot One, Two…"
Hilberto Martinez, Resident (Translated)
"We have worked very hard on these lands, and right now it seems like something impossible to get. We're asking the Prime Minister to have a conscience. He thinks that perhaps we are Hispanic…but we are residents of this country. We have papers. We are Belizeans. So it should be possible for us to get help with these lands. We have rights."
And these Belizeans, born and naturalized, are demanding those rights which they say they earned at the polls.
Fatima Cruz
"When election time come, he come and he seh oh…I promise they noh wah move unu. You give me your vote and I wah have unu back. Why now they wah move we and they deh give other people with money to apply for our lands when we deh live deh fu years? We have kids. If they move we weh we gwein…gwein pon the street go live with fu we kids? That dah weh he want. He live inna wah big mansion so he feel like we dah garbage."
Sonia Elizabeth Pineda, Resident (Translated)
"He needs to come to talk to us now that we need him. When he needed votes, he came and kissed us on our cheeks. It didn't matter that we were dirty but he was kissing us because he wanted our votes. Why doesn't he come and kiss and hug us now and tell us that he will give us what he promised?"
Luwina Garnett, Resident
"Unu noh fu deh do dey thing to poor people mein. We put unu inna power. Why unu have to do dey thing to we. Mark King…get yu act together. This da chance…cold chance Mark King1 Noh mek we have to go front ah yu face, yu know. We wah find yu. Just like how you come find we fu vote and put yu inna power mek yu have yu lot ah money. Come deal with we the right way noh deh sell we out like that."
Ines Antonio Bonilla, Resident
"We don't want to hear anything from Mr. Mark King, but we would appreciate anything that the Prime Minister can do with us…anything that he could assist with because we know he has a big heart, we know he's kind, and Mark King is not showing any of that."
As these Belizeans prepare to stand and fight, their children live in constant fear of losing the only homes they have ever known.
Daniel August, Resident
"I like this place. I have a lot of fun with my friends, and I can do whatever I want in the yard when I finish my homework, my spelling words. When I'm finished I go play in the yard."
Alvaro Perez, Resident
"We done live here fu long Miss. And we done chop the yard and cut down all the trees. Now we have to go fu wah next land and go do the same thing all over and go build again."
Ivan Alexander Riverol, Resident
"I feel bad the way how we have to move because we already deh live yah long right. I noh like that we mi have to move from deh to deh. And we struggle hard fu get ya. Long time ago we have to walk through water and all kinda thing. We mi have to walk through bush. My ma even had to back us here."
So what happens next? By all indications a long and nasty fight.
Kirk Vernon, Resident
"Dey Venezuelan money, dey Petrocaribe money…everything…from Taiwan all a deh deh no mean nothing to we Natural born Belizeans yah. We struggle hard. You know how long we deh inna dis bush ya? If we neva fall di big tree yu helicopter couldn't see we. Long time we deh back ya and we noh plan fu give up."
Ines Antonio Bonilla
"Give up what? My house…they wah kill me een deh. They noh deh move me from out deh. My house coming down with me."
Mike Rudon for News Five.

Life on the farm is a scrabble, but there is enough to eat and a place to sleep, and there is love. Then Peony's mother arrives to take her away from everything she has ever known. Peony is taken to the city to work for a wealthy family. Will Peony's grit and quick thinking be enough to keep her safe?

Crude oil extends decline on on-going supply worries
Fawad Razaqzada February 9, 2016 8:00 AM
The sharp rebound in oil prices from the middle of January proved to be short-lived as we and many other analysts had expected. Oil prices are now down for the fourth day and second consecutive week. A barrel of WTI crude oil costs less than 30 dollars again, while Brent costs less than $33, at the time of this writing. Oil traders have been discouraged by the lack of any breakthrough in talks between some OPEC and non-OPEC producers. As a result, the probability of coordinated output cuts and tolerance of bullish speculators have both decreased. The latest positioning data from the ICE – which shows bullish bets on Brent rose by a sharp 31,309 contracts in the week to 2nd February, perhaps in anticipation of a deal between Saudi and Russia – suggests there is a big risk for position squaring from these group of market participants, especially if it becomes obvious that there won't be any production cuts. This could exert further downward pressure on prices in the short-term. And judging by the behaviour of oil prices this week, this is exactly how it is looking like at the moment.
But most of the bad news is already in the price and witnessing further big nominal price drops could soon become a thing of the past for oil, probably not before one final leg lower. I would imagine a growing number of people are beginning to feel more confident that US oil production is going to fall noticeably soon, perhaps around the middle of the year. This is suggested for example by the consistent falls in the oil rig counts which fell by a further 31 rigs last week, according to data from Baker Hughes. Not only was this the seventh consecutive weekly decline, it was the most pronounced since April 2015. At just 467 active rigs, drilling activity is now at its lowest level since March 2010 having dropped by about 70% since the start of 2015. Likewise, the Drilling Productivity Report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), which was released yesterday, points to a sharp decline in shale oil production in March.
With markets being forward-looking, I think any piece of 'good' news will now likely provide a bigger positive impact than bad news would negative on prices. Indeed, oil prices, although lower, haven't exactly fallen off a cliff after the International Energy Agency (IEA) again raised its estimate of global oil surplus this morning. The IEA now envisages that supply may exceed demand by an average of 1.75 million barrels a day in the first half of this year, compared with an estimate of 1.5 million last month. The IEA, like many other forecasters, think that the excess could grow if output from the OPEC increases further, a probable outcome given that Iran is now in the process of making a full return to oil the market. Iraq's oil output hit a record 4.35 million barrels per day in January, up by 50,000 bpd, according to the IEA. Saudi's oil output also increased further. The bigger members of the cartel are therefore continuing to produce more oil than required at the moment, increasing the pressure on the weaker members and shale producers.
Oil traders are now looking forward to the latest monthly oil report from the EIA, which is due for release later today. Then, the American Petroleum Institute (API), an industry group, will provide its usual data on US crude oil inventories tonight, with the official stockpiles data from the EIA set for publication tomorrow. If these numbers show a surprise, i.e. a sharp drawdown in inventories, oil prices are likely to rebound strongly. Conversely, a bigger-than-expected build would most likely cause prices to drop.
So, prices may well fall further in short-term, but all it takes is a big trade to trigger buying momentum again and at around $30 a barrel, WTI is undoubtedly looking attractive for some speculators, especially those who missed out on the bounce in mid-January. That being said, the trend is still clearly bearish and so far there is little technical evidence to suggest a bottom has been established. But prices could be very close to a bottom nonetheless. Below $30, the next key level for WTI is the January low around $27.50/5 then there is little further support until the next psychological level of $25.00. Likewise, Brent is stuck inside a bearish channel and for that reason there is no reason to feel bullish about oil prices in the short-term. Below next support at $32.25, the $30.00 handle could be the next bearish target, followed by January low at just above $27.00. For both contracts, a break above their recent range highs of $34.50 (WTI) and $36.00 (Brent) is required to turn the short term outlook to bullish.

Large Recycling Bin
Our large recycling bin is a highly effective solution if you are looking for a quality addition to your kitchen that facilitates the entire rubbish disposal process in a consistent way. Recyclit is a business dedicated to the creation of highly specialised wastes management systems of many sizes in order to cover the needs of Australian homeowners and businessowners. We share the thought that environmental care starts at home, and we support this idea by making the entire process more accessible and easier to complete by posting rubbish through a door and letting it find its way down the chute to the recycle bin on the outside.
If a lot of rubbish is produced as a result of daily activities in your kitchen, then you should choose our large recycling bin. Our revolutionary product, opposite to most of these products in the market, comes with a self-closing door that prevents odours from scaping the chutes if you forget to close the door of the disposal system. Keep your kitchen clean and fully hygienic by managing rubbish adequately. Our large recycling bin comes with venturi in the chute so fresh air is constantly flowing in order to keep it free from germs and accumulation of dirt when worms can be created.
Recyclit is revolutionising the entire wastes disposal market with a large recycling bin that is second to none in terms of quality, made using the most durable materials available in order to work as a long-lasting solution to your issues. Keep your kitchen clean and looking beautiful while also preserving the environment with our large recycling bin and forget about bad odours infesting your house for keeping rubbish accumulated inside the house. Save time and effort you would otherwise waste collecting rubbish, carrying it outside and putting it in different bins.

HIV/AIDS Awareness
The HIV/ AIDS pandemic is one of the major killers in the world. Even though there is a decline in the prevalence rates and a high uptake of ARVs, the pandemic is still a major concern for employers.
The pandemic results in the loss of trained and skilled personnel, absenteeism by those who are infected and those who are affected, rising costs of Medicare, replacement recruitment and training as well as legal and management costs.
This one day program is done as part of the workplace policy and it is geared to increase awareness around HIV/AIDS issues so as to result in behavior change and voluntary testing.
Participants get a chance to ask their questions and learn how to effectively use preventive measures like male and female condoms. The demonstrations are always sensational.

Every single day that we are fortunate enough to wake up we are faced immediately with a question: how are we going to face the day. We have to make a choice. Here are 4 steps that will ground you every morning so that your day is strong, confident and productive.
Step 1. Embrace the mindset that life is going to be a challenge. Accept that there will be decisions during the day that need to be made. Accept that there will be disappointments and set-backs. From long red lights, to major health setbacks – life is full of them. But life is also full of victories both small and large. By accepting that life is an obstacle course you are less likely to get stuck in the mud. Instead, you're going to get sweaty and dirty but you'll come through it a winner!
Step 2. Heart Connection. Make sure that your heart and your mind are connected and on the same page. We all have the ability to succeed but if our mind isn't on that page with our heart, we are already fighting ourselves. When our mind and heart are in tune we set ourselves up for success. Take a quick moment and breathe, listen to your heart, and pay attention to the rhythm in your head and then connect the two as one.
Step 3. Accountability. Don't do it alone. During the day as you face both challenges and successes you must have someone who is willing to stop running, turn around, reach down and pick you up.
Step 4. Finally – stop whining. Don't start your day with negative statements. The moment you rise start telling yourself positive statements, looking forward through the day at things that will be good from a simple great cup of coffee, to the refreshing ice water in your cup, to spending time with loved ones at the close of the day. Gather those positive thoughts and use them to fuel you through the rough spots. Don't focus on what might be – focus on what you know WILL be and if negative things happen, you are prepared for them. They won't catch you off guard and more importantly, you've set yourself up to face them head on and win.
So say to the day – bring me your best or bring me your worst – I'm ready. Bring it.

Laridae's Founder and Senior Associate, Jonathan Bennett, sat down recently with Sally Fazal of Social Impact Advisors' "Impact" podcast to chat about values, being a B Corporation, and why consulting is about listening and relationships. The conversation explores how our mission and culture are aligned with B Corp principles, Jonathan's experience learning from First Nations, and more.
Listen now:
Notable Quotes:
- About qualifying as a B corp: "We learned a lot about ourselves and also were able to recommit to a lot of the founding principles that our firm was first built on."
- About relationships: "When teams look after one another, when team members look after one another, they perform better, their results are better, and whatever they're working on is going to be of a higher quality, and that is fulfilling."

I don't recall when I first heard the adage, "Be quick to listen, slow to speak." It could have been when I was a teenager, having some teenage moment, and my mother giving me the look as she uttered those words through her clenched teeth…or it could have been my dad in one of those dad moments, sharing how I could win a room over or how to improve every relationship – personal and professional – I would have in the years ahead. Regardless of where I heard it, it is such great advice.
Especially in today's climate.
I remember watching how President Reagan, a Republican and Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill, a Democrat who had served in Congress during the Ford, Carter and Reagan administrations, despite their political differences, found common ground. They could disagree with each other, yet still have each other's back. They put mission above self.
They were statesmen.
Now, I'm sure just by my saying they are statesmen will invoke some to say that I'm wrong, ignorant, naïve, was too young to know better, or maybe that I have no right to say someone is a statesman – that I should use the term statesperson. Maybe. But that's not my point.
My point is they both publicly displayed civility and acted honorably despite having a difference in ideology.
In today's environment, whether it be a local issue, like what's written on a cookie, or a national issue like a border wall, so many would be better off going to the gym to get their exercise instead of jumping to conclusions that the "other side" is evil, bigoted, racist, sexist, and whatever other label dehumanizes the "enemy" to our own belief. This tactic of labeling the "other side" is a combat strategy – first widely deployed in Vietnam. The goal was to make the enemy less human so it would be easier to exercise maximum damage on the "other side." In cases of combat, and a real enemy, it's an effective strategy.
But a disagreement or an opposing view from someone else doesn't make them our enemy.
Removing the face of the "other side," labeling them, and then becoming a keyboard warrior, or grabbing a microphone, and tearing someone else down doesn't build you up.
Here's the reality — the "other side" is often our neighbor.
Local and national issues have provided a great opportunity for my wife and I to educate our daughters on different approaches. When I was serving in the Navy, it was clear I thought differently from some of my shipmates — but despite those differences, we all knew that we had each other's back. After all, those quarters were tight — they were my very close neighbor. (For those who don't know, all veterans don't think alike.)
I gained a tremendous life lesson from that experience. Despite differences in race, religion, political views, we — for the most part — got along. Sure, we had our human moments — but we had each other's back.
In a city in which I was born, Edmonds, it's sad for me to see that some take to the keyboard instead of grabbing a cup of coffee with the "other side" to understand their point of view.
The world isn't changed by politicians, but rather, person to person. Want to truly change this city for the better? Be quick to listen, and slow to speak.
— By Mike Schindler

coastal geography branch of UniKiel is part of the Department of
Geography at CAU (Christian-Albrechts-Universitaet zu Kiel). It
has a long tradition and expertise in marine and coastal research
issues world-wide. Since the late 1980s the main focus of the branch
has been on studies relating to coastal morphodynamics and to coastal
vulnerability and risk assessment. Special emphasis of recent research
is on climate-change impacts, in particular effects of accelerated
sea-level rise and storm flood events. The work has addressed a
wide variety of aspects, from hydrologic and morphodynamic impacts
to quantitative analysis of socio-economic vulnerability and has
successfully developed methodologies for these assessments at various
levels of scale. Results of this work have been effectively implemented
in coastal defence master plans and strategies for Integrated coastal
Zone Management in Germany.

Armstrong at Kentucky Speedway:
Dakoda will be making his seventh career NASCAR XFINITY Series start at Kentucky Speedway to go along with four prior starts in the Camping World Truck Series at the track.
Dakoda has a best XFINITY Series finish of 13th at the Sparta, Kentucky track which came during the 2013 season.
Dakoda finished 18th in the race earlier this season at Kentucky Speedway.
Dakoda's Thoughts on Kentucky Speedway:
"This second visit to Kentucky Speedway this season should be a little better for everyone. We went there earlier this season not knowing what to really expect from the repave and new track configuration. We will take what we learned from that first race and put it to use this second time around."
"We just missed out on making The Chase but there is no quit in anyone on this JGL Racing team. We are looking forward to going out there each week and finishing the season strong."
Chicagoland Rewind:
Dakoda Armstrong and his JGL Racing team entered the final race before The Chase with a glimmer of hope for the inaugural event in the NASCAR XFINITY Series. Unfortunately, a very disappointing performance dashed those hopes as Armstrong piloted his No. 28 LetsTalkFood.com Toyota to a 22nd place finish in the running of the Drive for Safety 300 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Dealing with dents on a vehicle isn't something that most people want to think about, but it is a reality for the majority of car owners at some point. Indeed, even those who keep their vehicles in tiptop condition may suffer a dented vehicle as a result of flying debris or rocks, a small fender-bender, opening a car door into a pole or other stationary object, or even sitting on the hood of the car. In fact, even Mother Nature may get involved in the process, and dents may occur as a result of hail.
While dents are never ideal, fixing them is easy when you call Dent Dimensions, Inc. for paintless dent repair services in Northwest Indiana.
Paintless Dent Repair vs. Traditional Dent Repair Methods
If you're not someone who is familiar with different dent repair methods, you may not know what the difference is between traditional dent repair and paintless dent repair, or PDR.
Traditional dent repair uses fillers, sanding, and paint in order to fill a dent, smooth its surface, and then make a panel look like new again. While the finished product is certainly something to admire, the process itself uses harsh chemicals, which endanger technicians' health and the wellbeing of humans, animals, and other lifeforms. Traditional dent repair is also expensive, and vehicles are often kept overnight, or for multiple days, before they are ready.
Paintless dent repair, on the other hand, is a much simpler way of repairing dents, and a much more environmental, faster, and safer way as well. Paintless dent repair works by slowly and gently massaging a dent back to its original smooth surface from the inside out using specialized tools and techniques. There are no chemicals involved in the process, and PRD is typically completed in an hour or less. The results are fantastic, and for minor dents, no difference can be seen between PRD and traditional dent repair methods.
Save Time, Money, and Help the Earth
Whether your motivation is to put a little padding in your wallet, or to help the earth be a little greener, or to get your car back in as short of an amount of time as possible, or all three, paintless dent repair is the right choice for you. Paintless dent repair from Dent Dimensions, Inc. is so easy that we will travel to your location and fix your dent on the spot. If you have multiple dents, we can offer you a discount rate, or even offer a per vehicle price.
Contact Dent Dimensions, Inc. to Schedule Your Northwest Indiana Paintless Dent Repair Today
If you have a dent in your vehicle, what are you waiting for? Getting it fixed is easy and affordable when you work with Dent Dimensions, Inc. We have nearly two decades of experience, and all of our technicians are PDR certified. You can schedule a repair easily by calling us directly at 219-313-2337, or using the form on our website to request a repair online. Our Northwest Indiana paintless dent repair services are the best in the area!

Title: Maisie Dobbs
Author: Jacqueline Winspear
Genre: Mystery–Historical
Publication Date: 2003
Number of Pages: 294
Geographical Setting: London
Time Period: WWI-era England
Series (If applicable): Maisie Dobbs
Plot Summary: Intelligent, spunky Maisie Dobbs deals with "discreet investigations" for a living in London just after World War I. Her first case appears to be a run of the mill infidelity matter but leads her to the Retreat, something of a convalescent home and monastery combined, and elevates the mystery to a higher level.

3 Relevant Non-Fiction Works and Authors
Below Stairs by Margaret Powell. This memoir of a "affecting portrait of a vital, intelligent young woman" (Kirkus) details the author's time in service as a kitchen maid in 1920s England. Readers might enjoy reading about what Maisie's life may have been like had Lady Rowan not encouraged Maisie's education.
Elsie and Mairi Go to War: Two Extraordinary women on the Western Front. Elsie Knocker and Mairi Gooden-Chisholm, like Maisie, are courageous, intelligent and unconventional women who set up an aid station on the Western Front. Readers who enjoyed Maisie Dobbs may also enjoy this true account of spunky nurses during World War I.
The Great Silence: Britain from the shadow of the First World War to the dawn of the Jazz Age by Juliet Nicolson. Readers who appreciated the details of Britain during the World War I era in Maisie Dobbs may appreciate this social history of the first two years in Britain following World War I.
3 Relevant Fiction Works and Authors
In the Bleak Midwinter by Julia Spencer-Fleming. This first novel in mystery series also features a strong, smart, independent woman protagonist who is war veteran. Though In the Bleak Midwinter takes place in the US after the Iraq War, this compelling story also offers a strong sense of place that readers may have enjoyed in Maisie Dobbs.
A Duty to the Dead by Charles Todd. Like Maisie, the main character in this mystery series is a strong, resourceful and self-sufficient woman serving as a British nurse during World War I. The only difference between this character-driven, compelling mystery series and Maisie Dobbs is that the mysteries take place during the Great War.
Alfred and Emily by Doris May Lessing. Half fiction and half memoir, Alfred and Emily opens with a novella that imagines what life for her parents would have been like if World War I had never happened. Fans of Maisie Dobbs may be interested in an idea of what Britain would have been like if WWI never happened.

Should You Exercise With A Cold?
Ultimately, it's a little unclear whether it's fine to exercise with a cold, or if you should take a few days off until your sniffle goes away.
When you feel like total crap, skipping your workout is an obvious choice. But it's a little different when you have a cold. Sure, you don't feel as amazing as you could, but you're not totally down and out, either.
Of course, you want to rest your body if that's what you're supposed to do but…is that actually going to do anything? Or is it just a lame excuse to ditch your regular exercise routine? And, sometimes it actually feels good to work out when you're feeling meh, so is it possible that applies in this case, too?
Is it okay to exercise with a cold?
The answer is yes…ish, says Jessalyn Adam, MD, attending sports medicine physician at Baltimore's Mercy Medical Center. In general, you want to follow the "neck rule."
"If all of your symptoms are above the neck, you're safe to work out. But if you have symptoms that are below the neck, then you probably shouldn't exercise," she says. "Whenever I have an athlete that wants to work out, that's the rule we use."
"You also shouldn't have shortness of breath or a fever, if you decide to exercise with a cold," adds Amesh Adalja, MD, infectious disease specialist, and senior scholar at Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security.
For a quick guide, remember these key points:
You're okay to work out with:
- Runny nose
- Nasal congestion
- Sore throat
Don't exercise if you have:
- A cough
- Shortness of breath
- Body aches
- General chest congestion
- A fever
Overall, regular exercise helps boost your immune system, but it's important to go with how you feel, says Kenton Fibel, MD, a family medicine physician specializing in sports medicine at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles.
And as far as fitness helping you feel better, "Exercise releases a lot of hormones that may make you feel great, but that's independent of having a cold," says Dr. Adalja. So that concept may or may not apply when you're not at your best.
Even if you're "just" dealing with the common cold, you still shouldn't feel obligated to go to the gym if you feel terrible. "In general, listen to your body and how you feel," says Dr. Fibel.
Are any exercises better than others when you have a cold?
Just because you can work out doesn't mean you should go all out. "This is not the time to go and do your most intense exercise routine," Dr. Adam says. "Your body is still fighting an infectious disease."
If you're craving cardio, he recommends doing "light cardio" like a comfortable run, a light stationary bike workout, or a casual session on the elliptical. "Don't go for as long as you normally would," she says.
As for strength training, it can be challenging because a lot of times you're already feeling fatigued, Dr. Adam says. "If you're congested, it's not a good idea to go with heavy weights, but lighter weights should be fine." (Just wipe down the equipment well after you use it to do your fellow gym-goers a solid, Dr. Fibel advises.)
Does it matter if you exercise indoors or outdoors?
As far as weather goes, not really (provided we're not talking extreme conditions here), Dr. Adam says. However, she points out, if you suffer from allergies on top of having the common cold, exercising outside during allergy season could be kind of miserable.
That said, "sometime cold air can trigger asthma like conditions, and colds can also provoke that phenomenon," notes Dr. Adalja, "so in that context exercising in the cold air could be problematic."
For indoor workouts, if you're considering heading to a group fitness class, or cranking out strength training at a public gym…you may want to press pause. "If you are sneezing or coughing it probably makes sense to not expose others in an exercise class," says Dr. Adalja. "Consider taking precautions by exercising at least six feet away from others, and not contaminating common surfaces." And if you MUST use the gym equipment, be sure to wash your hands diligently before touching anything, then wipe down the tools once you're done.
Whether you choose complete workout routine indoors or out, keep in mind that pushing your body too much—even if you feel like you can take it—can ultimately screw you over. "Exercising too hard when you're sick can make it more difficult for your body to fight off the infection and can make it take longer for you to get better," Dr. Fibel says.
What other precautions should you take?
While the "neck rule" is important to follow, there are some other nuances to consider. If you have a fever, you're feeling really tired, you have nausea, or you have widespread muscle aches, don't exercise, Dr. Adam says. Ditto if exercise makes you feel worse.
"It's also important to make sure you're adequately hydrated when working out while sick," says Dr. Adalja, "since colds can be dehydrating."
As for what to wear, there are no magic clothes that will help get rid of your cold during your workout (although there's an idea…). "Just listen to your body," Dr. Adam says. "If you're feeling cold, make sure you have enough layers. Dress appropriately for the weather."
If you're still not sure if exercising with a cold makes sense for you, check with your doctor.
Bottom Line: If you want to exercise with a cold start slow and keep intensity light. Your body requires energy to fight the cold as well so make sure to supply your body with enough nutrition to maintain.

I am an evolutionary biologist interested in social insects, the fossil record, and comparative genomics. The projects I am involved in are typically centered around understanding patterns of diversity, ecological impact, and the evolution of complex behavior in some of nature's greatest success stories: ants and termites – however – I also occasionally work on other organism groups. More broadly, I use social insects as a system for testing methods related to the use of comparative paleontological and genetic data, as well as novel imaging pipelines.

Extracting information from data-rich fossil specimens
Comparative genomics and morphology
The evolutionary history of social insects
Social insect ecology
Our current projects deal with describing and contextualizing fossil amber specimens, exploring and quantifying functional morphology, and comparative genomics of eusocial insects (such as ants, termites, social bees and wasps). From a methodological perspective, much of this work translates into preparing and imaging fossils, generating phylogenetic hypotheses that describe the relationships among living and extinct species, creating three-dimensional models of modern and fossil species to better understand natural form/function, and statistical analyses of morphological and genetic data. In addition, some student projects are rooted in ecology and the role of social insects in terrestrial communities, as well as the response of these animals to dynamic environments. Some core questions that drive our work:
How can we extract the maximum amount of information from fossil specimens to uncover evolutionary history and inform our understanding of how life changes over time?
What can convergent trends in morphology or behavior tell us about broad phenotypic and genetic evolutionary patterns in biology?

The Patrick Robert "Parker" Sydnor Log Cabin was built probably in the third quarter of the 19th century. A simple structure, it achieved great significance to several generations of African Americans in Mecklenburg County. Originally on land that was part of Prestwould Plantation, the cabin was sold out of the Skipwith family in 1884, and then to Lovice "Vicey" Skipwith in 1888, a former slave at Prestwould. It subsequently became a homeplace for several African American families, and became representative of those formerly enslaved families who, when freed, established themselves as tenant farmers on or near their former plantations. Broadly, it is tangible evidence of the post-slavery economic progress experienced by former slaves, and specifically of the newfound financial and personal freedom African American women experienced during Reconstruction. During the 1930s and 1940s, the cabin was also the home of Parker Sydnor, a well-known African American tomb stone carver, whose business thrived through the extensive network of African American churches and funeral parlors in the area.

R. Henson Broadhurst, C.E.
Proceedings at the Congress of Engineers, Architects, Surveyors and Others Interested in the Building of the Federal Capital, Held in Melbourne, in May, 1901 (Melbourne: J.C. Stephens, Printer, 1901):14-17
Broadhurst delivered this paper at the Australian conference to discuss how a new federal capital should be located and designed. He introduced one matter that a fellow Australian, George Knibbs, elaborated on at a professional meeting later the same year. Broadhurst pointed to "the desirability of creating streets running at an angle of 45 degrees with the true merid[i]an; for...[w]hen the sun's rays are parallel to the course of such a street, he is too high above the horizon for his rays to dazzle the passengers, and during the course of the day he shines fully on to every side of a house built to face any street forming the angle indicated with the true meridian." A decade later when the time came to hold an international competition for the design of Australia's capital several entries featured just such a system of street planning.Each of the professions represented on the present Congress looks at the proposed creation of a new city for the Commonwealth Capital from a different point of view.
The surveyor, bearing in mind the trouble and litigation continually proceeding in the existing cities owing to the imperfections of the original surveys, proposes to himself, that, in the new city, the survey shall be accurate, and the marking permanent.
The municipal engineer, thinking of the cost of maintenance, the dust in summer, the mud in winter, and the difficulties of cleansing always, speculates on the possibility of designing a town in which the expense may be reduced to a minimum, while the comfort of the inhabitants is raised to the maximum.
It is in the hope of in some measure furthering these ends, that I am putting these few remarks before the Congress.
Other things being equal, the Federal Parliament, in making the selection of the site, should give the preference to one with suitable stone for building and roadmaking in its neighbourhood.
The site being chosen, the first operation should be to make a careful contour survey of the locality, so that the streets may be laid out at suitable gradients, and so as to carry off the surface water from the allotments.
When designing the streets, there are several points that I think should be borne in mind:--The first one is that long unbroken lines of street in the direction of prevailing winds are continually pervaded with clouds of dust, and should therefore be avoided even at considerable cost. Another is that there are two great disadvantages to streets running east and west, the first being that the high buildings on the north side throw a shadow across the street, and in winter this prevents the sun's rays from drying it satisfactorily; lightly constructed streets often suffering seriously on this account if subjected to any heavy traffic; the other being that passengers travelling eastwards in the early morning, and westwards in the evening, are dazzled by the sun's rays. A third point is being urged more and more earnestly by the authorities on sanitation, and that is the desirability of having sunshine in all the rooms of a dwelling house. It has been stated that sunlight is a certain destruction to the germs of consumption, and that as long as people continue to live in rooms, in which the sun's rays have free play for two hours during the day, they are absolutely safe from infection by that deadly disease.
All these considerations point to the desirability of creating streets running at an angle of 45 degrees with the true merid[i]an; for as the prevailing winds in Eastern Australia, where the capital will be situated, are north and south, they will never follow the course of a street running at these angles far enough to raise clouds of dust, such as we used to have in Melbourne, and still have in some of its suburbs. When the sun's rays are parallel to the course of such a street, he is too high above the horizon for his rays to dazzle the passengers, and during the course of the day he shines fully on to every side of a house built to face any street forming the angle indicated with the true meridian.
We now arrive at a point that it is desirable to consider what unit of measurement it is preferable to employ. In Melbourne we have been accustomed to indiscriminately use chains and links or feet and inches, while in other cities links only have been allowed. I would strongly condemn the indiscriminate use of two standards, and though it is more trouble to the surveyor, I would advocate the adoption of the foot in preference to the link, as so many of the public are accustomed to measure by feet.
The width of the streets is a point on which discussion may arise. Having recommended the foot as the standard of measurement, I would adopt 100 feet as the width of the streets; this, while leaving plenty room for an immense room for an immense traffic, is not too wide for pedestrians to cross from one side to the other, and permits a good view of the architectural features of the buildings abutting thereon.
In residential portions I would discountenance the construction of any lanes, as they more than double the expense of scavengering, every description of garbage is being continually thrown into them, which, if they did not exist, would be put into the rubbish bin; at the rear in business parts I would make lanes 20 feet wide, putting a restriction on the title to prevent them being used as frontages.
A minimum allotment must be fixed, as people, if given a free hand, will build on anything that the house will stand on, regardless of ventilation and everything else. The Victorian Health Act lays down 1650 square feet as a minimum, but to me this appears to be too small, it works out to 16 feet 6 inches x 100 feet. Now ventilation in a house built on a frontage of 16 feet 6 inches cannot be otherwise than defective. To my fancy an allotment of 25 feet x 125 feet is quite as small as should be permitted. This would allow for a single-fronted house and a cart entrance, the latter being a necessity owing to the absence of back lanes. With a minimum depth of 125 feet it will generally be possible to have the stable, if one is required, at a reasonable distance from the dwelling.
I would advocate a free use of encumbrances on titles to regulate the class of tenement to be erected in any particular locality, for it is only by this means that the grasping land holder can be restricted from a reckless disregard for his neighbour's welfare.
The distances between the streets will of course be fixed by the depth of the allotments; but the length of the blocks must be regulated by public convenience. I do not think that they should exceed six hundred or seven hundred feet.
Having settled all these preliminaries we are ready for the surveyor to commence the work of setting out the city on the ground. As I said at the commencement of my remarks, we are only too well acquainted with the trouble caused by bad surveying and defective marking, but in the new city such trouble should be absolutely unknown, as, owing to the improvement in the construction of surveying instruments, it should be quite possible to have the work done to a degree of accuracy, that for all practical purposes may be considered perfect. But to retain the original alignment through the course of years, or it may be centuries, is a matter that is not so easily overcome.
The manner I am in favour of is to create a small "square" at the intersections of the streets as shown on accompanying sketch and mark the intersection of the street centrelines as permanently as possible. The centre area could be made a garden, in some of them the point could be marked by a sun dial, the apex of the Gnomon marking the intersection, in others fountains could be constructed that would not interrupt the line of sight, the topmost point marking the intersection high above all possible obstructions caused by traffic. Other devices might be bandstands, or cabmen's shelters, in these the finial could be made to mark the intersection aloft, while a point could be fixed in the floor as well. In the earlier stages of the city, before the erection of such structures as suggested, the intersections could be marked by iron capped posts similar to those marking the intersections of Geodetic lines in this colony.
My intention when commencing to write was to restrict my remarks strictly to the setting out of the city, but I cannot forbear touching on one matter connected with the construction of the streets; that is to advocate the construction of tunnels under them, to carry all the water and gas mains, electric light and other wires, pneumatic tubes, etc. Owing to these multifarious services our streets are in a continuous state of upheaval, thereby interfering with the comfort of the citizen and increasing the cost of maintenance.
