Unite friends or families, clubs, communities, even countries with a rugby event for peace.
Rugby's core values of solidarity, respect, integrity, passion and discipline have brought people together across the globe for years, so join them by organising your own Try For Peace initiative.
If rugby is a part of your life and you are passionate about inspiring peace within your community, then all you have to do is organise a Try for Peace match, or even turn it into a tournament!!
Here's a simple guide to help you get started:
We've also put together a toolkit of templates for you to use to help plan and promote your event and to congratulate your participants at the event. If you'd like us to customise a banner with your logo or write a letter of support for your event then we will do our best to help so please just drop us a line here.
There have been countless examples of rugby bridging differences and bringing people together. In 1995 Nelson Mandela donned a Springbok jersey with the captain's number for the Rugby World Cup Final uniting a divided nation behind one team. In 2013, the Under 19 Asian Rugby Championship hosted a game between India and Pakistan, a game where all divisions and tensions disappeared for 80 minutes.
So whether you are an individual, school, club or union be inspired by rugby to create peace in your community on Peace Day, and don't forget to tell us about it here.
And for an exclusive interview click on the play button to the right to hear more from Maggie Alphonsi about how rugby can bring people together for Peace Day and the role of the sport in her own life.
Since the launch of this initiative, thousands of people played all different forms of rugby in countries across the globe. Please check out our highlights below to see how some of our partners used rugby to celebrate Peace Day.
The Whales Rugby Academy organised a massive 21 Days of Peace in September with tag rugby activities from training to matches culminating in travelling to Rwanda for some Try For Peace matches and to attend the Peace One Day Youth Celebration at the Petit Stade Amahoro.
Having met in June at the Countdown to Peace Day Forum, Shamas Rugby & Music Planet Centre joined forces to organise an amazing rugby and music festival in Nairobi, celebrating the power of sport & culture to bring people together on Peace Day.
A wonderful rugby tournament to celebrate peace and demonstrating the growth of the sport Rwanda took place two days prior to Peace Day, which was masterminded by the organisation Friends of Rwandan Rugby.

Spurs drops points after being caught cold by West Brom
We must start winning more matches at Wembley, says Tottenham boss
25 November, 2017 — By Dan Carrier
FA Premier League
SPURS 1 (Kane, 74)
WEST BROMWICH ALBION 1 (Rondon, 3)
TOTTENHAM'S slim hopes of catching league leaders Manchester City took a big blow today when struggling West Brom earned a point at Wembley.
The Baggies, who are being looked after by caretaker Gary Megson after the sacking of Tony Pulis, had a dream start under the seat-warming boss when they took an early lead through Salomon Randon. Spurs enjoyed a huge share of possession – coming in at 73 per cent, and fired more than 20 shots goalwards – but it took an equaliser with 15 to go from Harry Kane to level things up. They are now 10 points behind City and such a result means surely Spurs will be looking to secure a top four spot and can write off any genuine title charge.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino said he felt his side was not suffering from a Champions League hangover after winning at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday – but were not good enough close to goal.
He said: "In the last third today we needed to do more, be more clinical."
And he added he felt his team started badly and took time to get going. He said: "We moved the ball too slowly in the first half hour – but the last 15 minutes of the first half we played much better and the second half was very good. We deserved to win through the chances we created. When you look at the statistics, West Brom had two shots on target and we did not concede one corner. I do not like talking about statistics too much but we created chances and situations. Our performance was enough to win."
He added that any chance of pushing for the title now seemed unlikely and he called for an improvement in the sides home form. He said: "The gap is massive. We need to win more games at Wembley. It is a different experience to White Hart Lane, but this is our reality."
The Baggies goal stemmed from Dele Alli losing the ball too casually in the centre and Randon stomping his way past defender Davinson Sanchez. His finish was a cute as his run was bustling: he rolled a gentle ball into the far corner past Hugo Lloris from an angle.
It meant West Brom, who were set up from the start to sit deep, were even more content to defend. This invited Tottenham to attack and the West Brom goal had some hairy moments. In the first half, Spurs went close through a Heung-Min Son cross that Kane's boot was a studs breadth away from turning in, and the South Korean also saw a shot deflected narrowly over. Kane then dragged an effort wide of Ben Fosters left hand post with the keeper flat footed.
Son, who was the liveliest for Spurs throughout, took the game again to the visitors in the second half. He saw another powerful shot blocked and then a mazy run took him past three but he could not find the extra yard needed to finish. Time and again West Brom's green shirted defence saw off a Spurs attack – and their luck lasted until the 73rd minute. Keiran Trippier combined with Alli to create space on the right and Alli's inch perfect cross found Kane drifting into space to guide home from close range. Moments later Kane thought he had won a penalty after he was knocked over as he shaped shoot, but the referee said it was outside the box.
A tired looking Christian Eriksen could only send the resulting shot into the wall.
Spurs huffed and puffed to find the winner their possession deserved but could not summon the required quality as Albion fought hard for every loose ball. Trippier's crosses were perhaps the most likely outlet, but as the clock ticked down, Spurs just did not have the magic to unlock the West Brom defence, and two important points were ultimately dropped.
After the enjoyment of winning away in the Champions League, this felt like a leggy and deflated performance.

Brain Booster: BrainWare Safari Is a Software Success
Neuroscience program improves cognitive skills and test scores at a Michigan school district.
When a great student from Harbor Beach Community Schools scored a 20 in the reading section of his ACT test, teachers knew he could do better. They were right: The next time the high school junior took the test, his score jumped to 30.
Educators attribute the improvement to his use of a neuroscience-based program from Learning Enhancement that develops cognitive skills such as logic, reasoning and problem solving. "This was a phenomenal jump, and the only thing he did different was BrainWare Safari," says Curtis Boehmer, a speech pathologist for Harbor Beach schools in rural Michigan.
Boehmer came across BrainWare Safari when he was looking for ideas to help language-delayed students. Impressed by the manufacturer's claims about the software's effectiveness, the superintendent and principal agreed to test the program.
Harbor Beach K–12 teachers invited 10 struggling students to participate in a 10-week program working with the learning tool for 45 minutes a day, four days a week. After the study, the average improvement in "intellectual age" was three years, one month (plus or minus two years, one month). The greatest improvement was a student who initially tested at the intellectual age of 12 years, 5 months, who after the study tested at 20 years, 4 months.
Peter Kline, an education expert and author of Why America's Children Can't Think: Creating Independent Minds for the 21st Century, witnessed similar results after adult family members used BrainWare Safari. "It's a transformation nobody would believe," he says. One nephew who had never been much of a reader got rid of his cable television service, and a college student stepson fell in love with textbooks.
Making Learning Fun
Set in a jungle, using a video-game format, BrainWare Safari "is delivered in a very entertaining manner," says Harbor Beach's Boehmer. Animal characters start off as babies and mature as users progress through the program. "When their animals grew, they were very excited."
The program becomes less fun at the point it becomes too difficult, Boehmer says, noting teachers must use some motivational incentives. For example, he treated three high schoolers to lunch off campus after they completed the entire program.
Dr. Patricia Wolfe, an expert in translating neuroscience findings for educators and author of Brain Matters: Translating Research Into Classroom Practice, agrees the program sometimes really challenges users. "I've seen 10-year-olds whip through a game that they previously could not do and with which even I had problems," she says.
Wolfe notes that it's the first program she's endorsed, and she's seen a lot of them. "I just want kids to be successful, and I want them to have fun doing that. This program meets both of those needs."
Kline recommends the use of BrainWare Safari and other cognitive programs. Harbor Beach Community Schools, for example, now uses it in conjunction with a reading program called EBLI (Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction). Boehmer says the district is purchasing more copies of BrainWare so all students from second grade through 12th will use the tool during their education.
Kline says BrainWare Safari and other neuroscience programs are "going to transform how we look at education."
7 years, 11 months:
The amount of improvement in intellectual age measured in one student in Harbor Beach's BrainWare Safari pilot.

This post is a "reblog" from several years ago. This is still one of the BEST lessons I ever taught in the classroom!
Every teacher has days when they reflect on a lesson and think, "Wow, that did not work out like I expected." Then there are the days when everything clicks. The students respond in amazing ways and you know that you hit a "sweet" spot. Today was one of those "sweet" spot days!
In honor of the upcoming Martin Luther King Holiday, we conducted a close read text about his life and his most famous speech. We started the class by dreaming. Yes, we were dreaming. I asked students to think about what their BIG dream would be for our country or even our world. I was amazed at their answers!
After discussing their dreams, I introduced someone else who had BIG dreams, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The students watched this mini-bio about Dr. King.
The class conducted their close read and responded to the text through a series of…

17 June — by Chris Lockhart
A hallmark of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide in the brain. As Aβ accumulates, it aggregates into complex structures, forming oligomers (a collection of around 2-12 peptides) or long, insoluble fibrils. Only these aggregated forms are believed to have any cytotoxic effect responsible for Alzheimer's; the presence of a single Aβ peptide in the brain is likely innocuous. The reason for this difference in effect of Aβ depending on its aggregation state is complicated, and thus far this exact question has not been answered by more than 20 years of Alzheimer's research. However, with new computing power and more sophisticated methods, new insights have been made about the amorphous Aβ peptide.
Recent results have shown that aggregation state is largely dependent on the Aβ peptide's secondary structure. In general, a protein can be classified into a few different well-known conformations, including the α-helix, which looks like a cork-screw, the β-sheet, which is a flat and rigid structure, or the random coil, which is effectively the lack of any well-defined structure. The structure of the Aβ fibril is known to be in β-sheet conformation, but the structure of other Aβ aggregates are generally unknown. An interesting work by Nerelius et al. (2009) demonstrated that ligands which are capable of inducing an α-helical conformation in Aβ are effective at stopping aggregation and decreasing Aβ cytotoxicity1. A recent study by our group showed a similar result; by introducing ibuprofen, a known anti-aggregation agent of Aβ, to a single Aβ peptide, we observed a sharp increase in α-helical content 2. It is easy to speculate that the formation of helix in Aβ by ibuprofen is sufficient to stop peptide aggregation and provide ibuprofen's observed therapeutic benefit.
Further probing into Aβ helicity, we started cutting the Aβ peptide into smaller fragments to assess how well its secondary structure is preserved3. The Aβ peptide is most abundantly found in a form which is 40 amino acids in length. In our past work, we have showed that cutting off the first 9 amino acids has negligible effects on Aβ's secondary structure (Fig. 1). It turns out that even cutting off the first 22 amino acids results in a conformation similar to full-length Aβ. If you were continue to cut off amino acids from the peptide, the structure remains the same up until you cut off the first 28 amino acids. After this, the resulting Aβ29-40 fragment adopts a helical structure similar to as seen in our previous simulations featuring ibuprofen (Figs. 2 and 3). This result can be corroborated with experimental evidence which shows that AβX-42 (a slightly longer species of Aβ) fragments are nontoxic when X>=29 4.
Clearly Aβ is a complex molecule, and understanding its structure in different environments is critical to understanding its cytotoxic effect. Toward this end, we have begun simulating Aβ in the presence of cellular membranes5. Our initial results for a single Aβ peptide bound to a membrane showed that Aβ again adopts a helical state and does not significantly disrupt membrane structure. Thus, simulating Aβ aggregrates in water and the presence of cellular membranes must be important to understand what causes Aβ's cytotoxic effect. However, this problem is difficult to answer because it is an order of magnitude larger than current atomic simulations can handle and is on the cutting edge of computational science. We believe that the Compute Against Alzheimer's Disease campaign is integral to achieving the level of computational power necessary to answer these fundamentally important questions.
Figure 1. Structure of Aβ10-40 in water. Green and red balls represent first and last amino acids, respectively. This structure is mostly in random coil and helix content is low.
Figure 2. Structure of Aβ10-40 in the presence of ibuprofen. Green and red balls represent first and last amino acids, respectively. This structure shows the formation of a helix at the end of the peptide near the last amino acid.
Figure 3. Structure of Aβ29-40 in water. Green and red balls represent first and last amino acids, respectively. This structure shows the formation of a helix at the end of the peptide near the last amino acid.

Former 007 Pierce Brosnan is returning to the small screen? That's the word from Deadline.com, which reports that Brosnan will star in an as-yet-untitled "investigative thriller" from ER writer/producer Jack Orman.
The still dashing Irishman will play "a 'fixer,' [a] private investigator specializing in international crisis innervation who is called in to help solve homicides, abductions, financial schemes and other crimes anywhere in the world."
Hmmm, didn't we like this when it was called Remington Steele, Brosnan's last TV series that aired from 1982 to 1987? What's Stephanie Zimbalist doing these days anyway?
Brosnan has appeared in several films since his last appearance as Bond in 2002's Die Another Day. He even was nominated for a Golden Globe for his well-received role in the 2005 comedy The Matador. (Well, he also "won" a Razzie for his "performance" in the Mamma Mia! adaptation. But, hey, it made tons of dough.)
Are you excited to see Pierce Brosnan back on TV?

Deciphering the different definitions of disability is a surprisingly complicated process. Some of these definitions can be found in almost every policy, while some use attachments or riders to tweak the policy language. While the exact terminology may be different, there are five basic definitions of disability that are important to understand if you're considering filing a claim for benefits or even if you're just trying to decide what type of coverage to purchase.
- Own Occupation. Simply put, this definition defines you as totally disabled if you can no longer perform the material and substantial duties of your occupation. Some policies will even consider you totally disabled if you are unable to perform just one of the material and substantial duties of your occupation. If you are being paid benefits under an own occupation disability policy, you may be able to go back to work in a different type of job and still be entitled to benefits as long as you're unable to perform the job from which you were declared totally disabled. Because of this liberal definition, these policies are usually more expensive and harder to obtain.
- Any Occupation. This definition is almost the opposite of Own Occupation. You're only considered totally disabled if you cannot perform the duties of any occupation. Usually, the policy will include language that takes into consideration your education, training, experience, and earnings level as well. This prevents the insurance company from trying to envision you in a job for which you're under-qualified or over-paid just to end your claim. This definition is often found in cheaper, group policies and can be challenging to collect benefits without strong medical evidence and very debilitating conditions.
- Split Definition Coverage. While this isn't a definition of disability in and of itself, this definition is very common in disability insurance policies so it's worth discussing. Many policies have definitions of disability that switch from Own Occupation to Any Occupation after a period of time that can range from 6 months to 5 years. Anyone receiving disability benefits under this type of coverage should be extremely wary leading up to this transition date, as insurance companies often plan for how to stop paying benefits around that time.
- Presumptive Total Disability. Regardless of your policy definition of disability, certain catastrophic injuries or illnesses are automatically considered totally disabling. These often let you skip some of the requirements that must be met to be considered totally disabled. You're allowed to receive benefits immediately after the elimination period that will continue even if you return to work. The medical events that fall under this definition include the loss of sight in both eyes, loss of hearing, loss of speech, the use of both hands, the use of both feet, or the use of one hand and one foot. These losses must be complete. Different policies can have slightly different qualifications for Presumptive Disability and not all of the ailments listed above will qualify under every policy.
- Residual Disability. The first four definitions have been about Total Disability, but this isn't the only way to qualify for benefits. Some policies include definitions of disability that will pay you a portion (or all) of your benefits if your work level and/or earnings are reduced. Under Residual Disability, claimants are paid benefits based on the relative amount of income they've lost due to their disability. This is calculated through a formula that takes into account the disabling condition and the percentage of pre-disability income the claimant continues to earn. Be aware – some cheaper policies include a clause that requires the claimant to have been totally disabled for a while before they're able to collect residual disability benefits. There are two ways to purchase Residual Disability coverage: you can either purchase a Total Disability policy with a Residual Disability rider or you may purchase what is often called an income replacement policy. Income replacement is another term for residual coverage and can be the cheaper of the two option since it lacks specific Total Disability coverage.
- Partial Disability. This definition is very similar to but slightly different from Residual Disability. The main difference is that Partial Disability does not consider the loss of income calculations when determining the benefit amounts. Rather, if you're considered partially disabled, the policy will pay you 50% of the total disability benefit amount. Partial Disability is also not offered as a standalone policy and is either included as a rider to a policy or as the base coverage in some rare policies. Benefits periods for Partial Disability are often much shorter, usually not extending beyond 6 to 12 months.
Even if your injury or illness may fit into one of these policy definitions, it doesn't always mean you will receive benefits. There are many other policy considerations, such as appropriate care or diagnosis limitations, that can decide whether or not you'll be able to collect your benefits. If you're considering filing a disability claim and are not sure of the definitions in your policy, or if you're not sure if you qualify for benefits under your policy's definition, please call our firm toll-free at (855) 828-4100 or sign up for a free consultation on our website. We can help you get the answers you need to get the benefits you deserve.

Deceased Coaching Legend's Trademark Sweater Will Hang From Stadium Rafters
Coach Rick Majerus passed away over the weekend. The program he built, Utah, will honor him in the best way possible.
Over the weekend, legendary college coach Rick Majerus passed away at the age of 64. Most famously, Majerus coached an unheralded Utah program into national relevance and an almost-championship — the team led powerhouse Kentucky by 10 points at halftime of the 1998 national title game before succumbing. And though he ended his career at St. Louis University, where he retired after the 2012 tournament, it's for his accomplishments at Utah that he'll be best remembered.
That's why it's fitting that Utah will also be paying him his most touching compliment. The university has announced that a huge replica of one of Majerus' famous sweaters, seen in the picture above, will hang from the rafters of the Jon M. Huntsman Center, where the team plays its home games. (Teams traditionally hang the jerseys of former players from the rafters as tribute, and sometimes use the jersey number 1 for past coaches.)
Majerus and many of his former players had a bond that went past the usual coach-player relationship. At his last press conference, which took place after St. Louis' tournament loss to Michigan State at the end of last season, during the presser, both Coach Majerus and senior Brian Conklin broke down in tears when talking about what they meant to each other. Read Gary Parrish's take on the press conference here, and watch the simultaneously moving testimonials from Majerus and Conklin below.
He will be missed.

With a Little Help from My Friend
At last, I can manage to find a new job, in a new place, with new challenges. WIth a little (well, maybe a lot) help from my friend, I can find a job where the only thing matters is your nerve. No diplomas, no skills, and no whatsoever. The first task I take is to assist a Java training for two weeks with no real training before. This is my new frontier, new wacky environment, and yet again, new persons to meet. Now it's time to really look towards the future.

The Chronicles
- Dec 7th, 2004: I started working on TeleMatics Indonesia as Graphic Web Designer with 3 months probation. I was assigned to BPK PENABUR Project to design the User Interface.
- March 1st, 2005: The probation is over and I declared full-employee of TeleMatics Indonesia.
- May 2005 : The prototype of BPK PENABUR ERP application was approved.
- August 1st, 2005 : I was transferred to Sakura Bengawan (Sabeso) along with my two colleagues. One of them is still on probation. I never signed any work contract with Sabeso, only the non-disclosure agreement for my work (and biography).
- September 12th, 2005: I was assigned (thrown?) to EDMS project on Ciputra as Quality Control Desk. The project planned to finish in a month, but turned out to extend as long as three months. The project went slowly, and we forced to go overtime (7.30 am to 7.30 pm), and I never get any extra cash from it.
- September 2005: One of my colleagues transferred from TeleMatics resigned.
- October (or maybe November) 2005: My other colleague sign 6 months contract with Sabeso.
- December 2005: The Ciputra Project was over.
- January 2006: Sabeso planned to fire me or in their words return me to TeleMatics. TeleMatics refused and fire me completely. Sabeso told me (through their spokeperson) that TeleMatics asked me back. TeleMatics told me that Sabeso planned to cut BPK PENABUR Project off so I was not needed anymore, and sent me back. TeleMatics said they had not enough resources for me and let me go.
- February 1st, 2006: Jobless and broke...
- February 16th, 2006: TeleMatics called me back to do the Kalbar Groupware Project (a rushed project) for a month. In the process, Kalbar project finished in two weeks, and in the middle of it I helped the M@RIS Training and AIG LIFE.
- March 14th, 2006: TeleMatics offered me two months extension to my contract as probation, to help in the AIG LIFE project, that I've already worked on (outside the contract).
- March 16th, 2006: My contract expired, and guess where I'm going...

Who Fired Me?
Today I am offered an extension to my temporary contract here. I will be contracted for a further 2 months counted as probation (trial). That really shocks me, even though I have got a leak about the offer the day before. First, I passed my probation right here a year ago (by February 2005). The offer can be considered as an insult to my ability and credibility. Second, that just increases my consciousness about the lay-off mysteries (read the previious post), the crisis identity I got when I was in Sabeso, when Sabeso thought I was a TeleMatician, TeleMatics thought I was a Sabesian. So, the last question will be, Who Fired Me? At least that firing get my position back: stateless!

The Lay-Off Mysteries
Up till now, I believe that my layoff was because of natural cause. The project I worked in was stalling, probably terminating, financial problem, and shortage of another projects. But after my temporary comeback, all that 'facts' are proven bogus. Here are the facts:
UPDATE: I just found out that the one that replaces me singed-off just after two days of work. What a hot seat!
- The project I worked in is not postponed nor it is terminated. The project is going and so much alive as you and I.
- The financial problem is bulls**t, they hired a new programmer to replace me.
- The projects shortage is also bullish, there's two projects running simultaneously and not enough people to handle it (that's why they called me back in a rush, two weeks after they fired me).
UPDATE: I just found out that the one that replaces me singed-off just after two days of work. What a hot seat!

Executive Order and Proposed Bill Will Boost Biobased Products and Bioenergy
Developments in the world of biobased products and bioenergy have flourished in recent years, as reported by sources such as The Carbohydrate Economy newsletter, the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, the New Uses Council, and In Business magazine, among others. But while each new use for crop residues or another cellulosic ethanol project brings encouragement to sustainability proponents, the biomass and biofuels arena remains small and fragmented compared to the status quo of virgin materials and petroleum-based products.
That may be changing dramatically however, thanks to two recent government initiatives. President Clinton's August 12 Executive Order on Bio-based Products and Bioenergy brings together several federal departments to accelerate support of alternative technologies for generating products based on forestry and agricultural materials, and clean energy sources. A strong influence on the Executive Order was "Biobased Industrial Products," a recently released report by the National Research Council, which concluded that federal support for research is vital to fulfilling the economic and environmental potential of biobased industries. Leading scientific and industry groups have called for a federal role in transferring these technologies from the laboratory to the marketplace.
The second measure is S.935, which would amend the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 to authorize research promoting "the conversion of biomass into biobased industrial products, and for other purposes." Introduced April 30 by Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Indiana) chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, the bill was unanimously approved by the Senate Agriculture Committee and is expected to reach the Senate floor early in the fall legislative session. A companion bill is being drafted by Congressman Mark Udall (D-Colorado) in the House of Representatives.
Biobased products are defined as commercial or industrial products — other than food or feed — that use biological, renewable agricultural or forestry materials, including dedicated energy crops and trees, agricultural food and feed crop residues, aquatic plants, wood and wood residuals, and animal wastes. Bioenergy refers to biomass used in the production of energy: electricity; liquid, solid, and gaseous fuels; and heat.
President Clinton has asked for $242 million in his proposed budget for investments in biomass/biofuels research and development. "We're talking about a tiny fraction of the budget for the combined recommendations we have made that can change the whole future of this country and this world, in the way that the automobile and the perfection of petroleum processing did at the beginning of the century," he explained in a Rose Garden signing ceremony.
President Clinton also has proposed a five-year extension of the current 1.5-cent/kW hour tax credit for electricity produced from biomass. The measure would expand the types of biomass eligible for the credit to include certain forest-related, agricultural and other resources. In addition, a one-cent/kW hour tax credit would be given for electricity produced by cofiring biomass in coal plants.
The Executive Order itself sets a goal of tripling U.S. use of biobased products and bioenergy by 2010. According to the administration, meeting that could create $15 billion to $20 billion in new income for farmers and rural America, as well as reduce carbon emissions by the equivalent of taking 70 million cars off the road. The secretaries of Energy and Agriculture were instructed in a separate Executive Memorandum to prepare a report within 120 days that outlines and assesses options for modifying their departments' programs to meet the 2010 target.
"This is an important step the administration is taking to say that we need a whole new direction as we enter the next century," says Carol Werner, executive director of the Environment and Energy Study Institute in Washington, D.C., who serves on the New Uses Council's board of directors and participated in the Department of Energy's Bioenergy Initiative, a group of federal, commercial and nonprofit stakeholders that helped provide input for the Executive Order and the Department of Energy's future plans. She also participated in the signing ceremony for the Executive Order and has worked with the Clinton Administration on revamping the biomass tax credit. "This is what the future will be and what we should be doing to address our problems as we look at helping farmers, rural economic development, the environment and the oil dependency situation," adds Werner.
The Executive Order establishes the Interagency Council on Biobased Products and Bioenergy, with representation from the heads of the federal Agriculture, Commerce, Energy and Interior departments, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Office of Management and Budget, the National Science Foundation and others. The council will prepare an annual strategic plan outlining national goals for development and use of biobased products and bioenergy, as well as how to achieve them. Areas of focus will include rural economic growth, energy security, environmental sustainability and protection, and ensuring safe and affordable supplies of food, feed and fiber.
Strategic plans will cover "biobased products, including commercial and industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, products with large carbon-sequestering capacity, and other materials; and biomass used in the production of energy ... these strategic plans shall be based on analyses of the economic impacts of expanded biomass production and uses; and the impacts on national environmental objectives, including reduction of greenhouse gas emissions." The first annual strategic plan will be due within eight months of the date of the order, describing research, investment and legislative priorities and plans.
Representatives from farm, forestry, chemical manufacturing and other businesses, energy companies, electric utilities, environmental organizations, conservation groups, the university research community and other relevant sectors will serve on an Advisory Committee on Biobased Products and Bioenergy to provide information and advice to the Interagency Council. Among other tasks, it will assess federal agencies' goals for fulfilling the Executive Order, and review proposed research initiatives and demonstration programs.
Additionally, the Secretaries of Agriculture and Energy will establish a joint coordinating office to support implementation of the strategic plans. One of its functions will be to spread information to farm operators, various business sectors, the university community and public interest groups.
Although the President's initiative carries considerable weight, as an Executive Order, funding must come from Congress, where similar goals are being pursued on both sides of the aisle. Sen. Lugar's legislation, "The National Sustainable Fuels and Chemicals Act," is a six-year authorization bill with 15 cosponsors that calls for:
Cooperation between the Departments of Agriculture and Energy in the research, development and deployment of new technologies for low-cost conversion of biomass into fuels, chemicals and power; Creation of a Sustainable Fuels and Chemicals Board, consisting of senior officials from several federal bodies, to coordinate federal research and development efforts; Founding of the National Sustainable Fuels and Chemicals Research Initiative, a grant program for biomass conversion research and economic analysis; and Authorization of $49 million/year for the initiative in fiscal years 2000 through 2005.
One of Lugar's main goals in proposing the bill is to reduce American dependence on imported oil by substituting domestic biofuels, biochemicals and biomaterials. Another aim is to help U.S. farmers. "This would be a huge boon to farmers, and, in broad terms, for rural development," notes Joseph Michels, science policy advisor for Sen. Lugar. "Farmers are struggling with a glut in world markets. This can increase the number of products and markets by having them get paid for what currently is thrown away as waste." A third objective is to introduce environmentally friendly technologies that will decrease impacts on climate change without overhauling the transportation infrastructure. These principles were outlined by Lugar and former CIA director James Woolsey in "The New Petroleum," a well received article cowritten for the January/February, 1999 issue of Foreign Affairs.
"I think it's a good bill," says Werner. "It's an important step because of the kind of attention that it calls to this whole area. Forty-nine million dollars/year isn't a big amount, but for the first time, there's a very specific authorization involving interagency effort. It's the first time that there's been this kind of articulation in policy of the need to do this."
Michels believes that there is tremendous potential for furthering the biomass and biofuels marketplace, regardless of future election results. "I think the politics of this are compelling," he says. "During hearings on Senator Lugar's bill, you had administration officials in favor, chemical companies and some large agriculture interests in favor, and farmers in favor. There are not too many issues where you have that collection of supporters. It cuts across traditional war zones."
The day after the release of the Executive Order, the U.S. Department of Energy announced the awarding of more than $13 million in grants to promote the growth of the biomass industry. Like S.935, the awards are aimed at developing technologies to reduce the cost of using biomass to create energy, fuels and products.
For example, Michigan Biotechnology Institute in Lansing will get $3 million for its partnership with Heartland Grain Fuels in Aberdeen, South Dakota and the Energy and Environmental Research Center in Grand Rapids, North Dakota to further development of biomass technologies for fuels and chemicals. BC International Corp. in Dedham, Massachusetts will receive $1.4 million toward its pioneering biomass ethanol facility in Jennings, Louisiana, which utilizes sugar cane bagasse. Cargill Polymers, Inc. in Minnetonka, Minnesota and its partners — the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Colorado School of Mines — will use a $1.3 million grant for research on polyactic acid (PLA), an environmentally benign plastic material made from corn with applications in fibers, films, rigid materials and coatings.

Used a clay pot and a plastic pot for comparison.
Six Queen of Night each pot.
Buffy will be 3 before these bloom.
Baby Buffy ATE 2009 potted tulip buds.
I'm hoping she's mature enough to leave these.
Watered and draining; then into the refrigerator
to chill for 10-12 weeks.
Hope for blossoms late January or early February.
The pots are the same size, one closest just looks bigger.
Hyacinth bulbs are chilling for forcing in water and stones.
Paperwhite narcissus await putting in water and stones
just before Thanksgiving for Christmas bloom.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square will visit seven cities on the Classic Coast Tour this summer — including a stop in Berkeley where they will perform at the William Randolph Hearst Greek Theatre on the University of California, Berkeley campus on Saturday, June 23. The last time the Choir performed in Berkeley was over a hundred years ago in 1902. The Choir and Orchestra appeared in the Bay Area over a decade ago in 2005 with appearances in San Jose and Oakland. The Choir and Orchestra will also appear at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View on June 25, 2018.
In addition to these two Bay Area appearances, the 2018 Classic Coast Tour will also include stops in Costa Mesa, Los Angeles, Rohnert Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, and Seattle, Washington with concerts scheduled from Tuesday, June 19 through Monday, July 2. The tour takes its name from the classic musical experience the audiences and performers will share at the specially-selected venues for this tour. Performances by the traveling ensemble will feature 300 voices of the world-renowned choir and 65 members of the Orchestra at Temple Square. The Choir's extensive repertoire will be showcased on the tour with musical selections ranging from music of the master composers, to folk music from around the world and spirituals to signature hymns and anthems.
Choir member Mark Williams grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and says he is thrilled to be returning home to perform. "As I look back throughout my life, music has always been a driving force that helped me grow as a person in every way. When I found music, it was like I found my people. I love how you can communicate things through music that you can't communicate with words alone."
Ron Jarrett, president of the Choir, added: "There is nothing quite like hearing the Choir and Orchestra live in concert and experiencing their signature all-encompassing sound. We love going on the road to connect with our audiences and seeing first-hand the pure joy music can bring to the hearts and minds of our fans."
Since its first tour outside of Utah in 1893, the Choir has toured extensively across the United States and abroad. It has performed throughout Europe and in music capitals from Israel and Russia to Japan and Australia. Its travels have also included performances at the inaugurations of seven U.S. presidents. A full complement of the Orchestra has traveled on tour with the Choir since 2005. The all-volunteer Choir and Orchestra usually tour every other year since all of the performers must take vacation time from their jobs and leave their families to undertake the travel.
At home, the full 360-voice Choir, accompanied nearly every week by the Orchestra whose roster includes 200 instrumentalists can also be heard weekly as part of the Music and the Spoken Word broadcast. This 30-minute program is the world's longest continuing network broadcast which will shortly begin its 90th year of broadcasting. It currently airs on over 2,000 radio, TV, cable and satellite stations worldwide. The Choir and Orchestra are active recording artists with their own recording label, Mormon Tabernacle Choir. With over 200 recordings since their first one in 1910, they have just released the 36th CD on their label entitled Tree of Life: Sacred Music of Mack Wilberg.

Let's travel about 90 miles out of Chicago to Milwaukee, home of radio station WKTI at 94.5 FM, now an ESPN affiliate. In May 1987 they were still playing Top 40 music, so let's see what was on their Top 10 the last week of May.
- Breakfast Club, "Right On Track" A New Wave band out of New York City that at one time featured Madonna on drums, Breakfast Club had their greatest chart success with this song, which peaked at #7 on the Hot 100.
- Al Jarreau, "Moonlighting" Theme song for the wildly popular TV show starring Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis, this remains a favorite on Smooth Jazz radio. The song topped the Adult Contemporary chart, although it only reached #23 on the Hot 100 and #32 on the R&B chart. The late Al Jarreau was a native of Milwaukee.
- Cutting Crew, "(I Just) Died In Your Arms" Cutting Crew's debut single topped the chart in the US and Canada, and was their best-performing song chart-wise.
- Genesis, "In Too Deep" Genesis moved from progressive and folk-rock to pop all within about ten years, managing to become both an artistic and a commercial success. "In Too Deep" is from their 1986 album Invisible Touch and it reached #3 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
- Jody Watley, "Looking For A New Love" Jody Watley won the 1987 Grammy for Best New Artist. I'm not sure if it was because of this video, but it would certainly have influenced me. This made it to #2 on the Hot 100 while topping the R&B and Dance charts.
- Eddie Money, "Endless Nights" From his 1986 album Can't Hold Back, this only made it to #21 on the Hot 100 but #10 on the Mainstream Rock chart.
- Chicago, "If She Would Have Been Faithful…" From Chicago 18, which was the first album without bassist and vocalist Peter Cetera. Cetera's replacement, Jason Scheff, sang this along with Bill Champlin. It reached the Top 10 on the AC chart and #19 on the Hot 100.
- Huey Lewis & The News, "I Know What I Like" Their second single off of 1986's Fore!, it reached #9 on the Hot 100.
- Atlantic Starr, "Always" From their album All In The Name of Love, this was the band's first and only #1 hit, reaching that position on the R&B, Adult Contemporary, and Hot 100 as well as #1 in Canada and #3 in the UK.
- Level 42, "Lessons In Love" The first single from 1987's Running In The Family, this was Level 42's most popular single in the UK (from whence they came), reaching #3 there and #12 in the US.
And that's the Friday 5×2 for May 31, 2019.

|Abstract Submission Date: Sep 17, 2012
|Paper Submission Date: Sep 29, 2012
Without a fundamental rethinking of the structure and the reward system of commerce narrowly focused eco-efficiency could be a disaster for the environment by over helming resource savings with even larger growth in production of the wrong materials, in the wrong place, at the wrong scale, and delivered using the wrong business model.
They go on to say that the best solutions are not simply some kind of tradeoff between the objectives of economic, environment and social capital (recall our definition of sustainable?) but an integrated approach at all levels from "technical devices to production systems to companies to economic sectors to entire cities and societies. Sounds Automotive sector is a big part of that. "
So the conference is about to have a special focus on Green Automobile Conceptualizations towards Sustainable Development, processes, best practices and experience from select sectors pertaining to clean energy, materials, products and technology.

Canada's Property Tax Solution since 1973
Our efforts and activities supporting retail clients are best described as evolutionary. We were the first advisory firm to deliver results and establish a reputation in support of owners AND occupiers of retail space. Rather than being the recipient of news that an appeal was successful (or not), our clients are in the driver's seat and play an active role in minimizing the taxes they pay. We are aligned in the belief that the all parties, landlord and tenants, need to own the process of minimizing or managing the tax, as a team.
The second phase of this evolution is in creating a means by which our clients' interests at a number of levels are protected, guided and managed. Canada's retail environment is much coveted by our US counterparts and one which has seen a consolidation of ownership through securitized real estate entities. The impact to our clients has been significant, including increased demand for available space and escalating values as institutional money pursues a limited supply of investment grade assets to satisfy retail investors' appetite for yield. An increasingly crowded and expensive marketplace for doing business heightens the focus and attention on cost management. Our support in tax allocation and lease arbitration efforts for our clients has resulted in increased protection and peace of mind for our clients.
AEC is a proudly Canadian coast-to-coast national provider with local expertise, speed and results. With a 44-year history of precedent-setting success, we are the largest privately-held company in Canadian property tax.
AEC nationally provides coast-to-coast property tax consulting for appeals, purchase due diligence, tax recharge allocations, expert witness and tax bill administration.
The Quebec and Atlantic Canada extension of our AEC family. Our clients benefit from our ability to reduce operating expenses through realty tax and occupancy cost recovery services.
AEC Valuation provides appraisal services for standard mandates such as property valuation & inspections, purchaser/vendor due diligence, site selection, market studies, assessment review, appeals and insurance appraisals. We have highly qualified teams for specialized work, such as expert witness work, litigation, arbitration and expropriation.
AEC is a TRACE Intermediary Member, representing commitment to anti-bribery compliance and ethical business practices. We support commercial transparency with our customers, business partners, suppliers and others. Click here for more information.

Why is it that two different teachers can present exactly the same material but one will leave their students bored and lethargic and the other will enthuse, leaving them hungry for more?
More often than not, it's their style of teaching.
When some teachers teach, it can feel like they're reading straight from a text book. They make no attempt to engage their audience or make the topic entertaining.
Instead, they drone on, never pausing for breathe.
Great Teachers Know Better
Great teachers know that for their students to learn, they have to be engaged and engaging them means making an impact.
When you make a real impact on your audience, they not only take what you say on board but also become motivated to learn more from you.
Even better, they'll tell other people about you.
It's why it's not enough to enlighten, you must engage your audience and to do that you've got to entertain them.
How to Entertain Your Audience
We've found that the notion of entertaining an audience, often leaves people feeling cold.
The overwhelming reaction is "it's hard enough getting up on stage in the first place and now you telling us we've got to be entertaining as well???"
But being entertaining doesn't have to be scary and certainly doesn't have to take you out of your comfort zone.
It's about finding ways to present your content that's interesting, makes it easy to consume and most importantly is highly relevant to your audience.
A good example of how to do this well can be found in one my favourite films from the 80s – Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
For the uninitiated, Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) is the story of two surfer dudes from San Demas, California who are flunking high school. Ted's father is an ex-Army officer who has threatened to send him to Military School, should he fail to graduate.
The two friends have one chance to save Ted from this fate worse than death.
They have to get an A in their history report, which requires them taking a famous historical figure and suggesting what they would think of San Demas, were they alive today.
What's worse, the report has to be presented to the whole class.
What follows is some of the funniest time travelling shenanigans and mayhem committed to film.
The finale of the film is their report. Needless to say they get an A but for good reason. They use a number of powerful tactics that earns them a standing ovation.
Take a look below. It's about 7 minutes long.
While your next presentation certainly doesn't need to have the production values of Bill and Ted's, there are a number of lessons we can learn from watching them in action.
Here are 5 important takeaways:
Get Introduced to the Front of the Room
Bill and Ted are introduced by Billy the Kid. This is a savvy move because Billy is someone the audience can identify with. He's a kid (well kind of), he's a trouble maker and even better, he's cool.
When you get someone that the audience can identify with and more importantly who the audience respects, you establish your own credibility and heighten the expectation that the audience is about to get something of real value.
Essentially, Billy's introduction is entertaining. He doesn't stand there struggling over some text that Bill and Ted have written for him. He talks from the heart, bigs them up and for dramatic effect, shoots his gun into the air.
Acknowledge Your Audience
Before Bill and Ted start their presentation they acknowledge all the different people in the audience. This gesture is as old as Friend's Roman's and Countrymen but is often missed these days.
When you acknowledge the different people in your audience, you make them feel a part of the experience. You get them involved.
If you're not sure who you've got, a nice way to do it is to ask who is in the audience and welcome them.
Something along the lines of…"Who do we have in the audience? Put your hand up if you're a business owner, a manager or sales person. I'd like to welcome you all here today."
Use Props
Props are used throughout Bill and Ted's presentation to help explain the concepts they are communicating.
The costumes, the weapons and the historical characters are in themselves all props.
Props bring your presentation to life. They are a visual representation of the information you want to communicate and offer an extra dimension to your presentation.
When you use props you make your presentation content more accessible.
Employ Action to Create a Reaction
The problem with so many presentations is that they are static. When things stand still they're boring. Think about your journey home when your train gets stuck in a station.
When you bring action into your presentation you generate a reaction from your audience. Bill and Ted's presentation is full of action from the sword fight with Joan of Arc to the acrobatic display from Genghis Khan.
Not that you have to act. You can bring action into your presentations through the use of video or by making use of the whole stage.
Make Your Content as Relevant as Possible to Your Audience
Relevance is possibly the most powerful tactic that Bill and Ted use.
Here are some examples:
- Bill paints a clear picture of the time that Socrates comes from by comparing it to Led Zeppelins Houses of the Holy album cover
- Ted peaks the audience's interest in Socrates by comparing him to Ozzy Osbourne
- The language of the whole presentation is in the vernacular of the audience. This is especially powerful during the Abraham Lincoln segment
- Instead of trying to explain what psychoanalysis to the audience, the boys get Freud to talk about Ted's relationship with his father. Something that every person in the audience can relate to
- Beethoven's music plays throughout the presentation giving the presentation an extra dimension. However, instead of classical, he plays his music in a contemporary style
There are many more. Let us know in the comments below if there are any more that you spot that we've missed.
End with a Bang
Too many presentations have weak endings. They just kind of fizzle out. Which is mad when you consider that this is the stuff that you audience is most likely to remember.
Don't be tempted to wind down. Hit them with something big.
Like Abraham Lincoln, it might be the message you most want them to take away or you could take a leaf out of Hollywood's book and leave them on a cliff hanger. Something that demands further investigation.
Remember the end of The Empire Strikes back!
While the standing ovation is a cool thing to get, the most important aspect of the audience's reaction is their desire for more.

These are gorgeous and would be perfect for a groom's pocket square! The bride could give the groom her choice as a wedding gift and the words can have a special meaning. It would also look great if these were monogrammed with the couple's initials!

At times in the DC universe it seems like any character has the ability to go back or forward in time. In Justice League International #60 Green Lantern Guy Gardner takes the Justice League International group back in time to stop a villain who has gone back in time to stop Hal Jordan from ever becoming a Green Lantern.
In the correct time-line, when Hal Jordan's ship crashes in the desert he receives the Green Lantern ring from a dieing Lantern member. In the altered time-line the ring doesn't find the Hal Jordan whom doesn't crash, but rather, the ring finds the next best recruit, Guy Gardner. Gardner, in the altered universe looks pretty much just like Hal Jordan except his hair is red. Gardner also acts more honorably and heroic than he does in the altered universe because he knew that he alone was the protector of the sector, and that brought great responsibility. Gardner had to be a honorable man.
The story is pretty fun, as mindless as it is. At the end of the book, once everything is back to normal (thanks to the alternate universe Gardner who does what's right and sacrifices his very happy life to set things straight) Guy Gardner drops by to say "hi", and give Hal Jordan a hard time. Rather than retorting Gardner's jabs at him Jordan just shakes his hand and thanks him for "being the greatest hero of all." Gardner is shocked, which is quite funny. To shut Gardner up with kindness is a joy only readers who appreciate Guy can enjoy.
In this comic of the day, Guy Gardner is one exceptional guy.
(Note: What a lame ending...using his name in a different way to say how great Gardner was in a comic book. Bad jokes may make bad endings, but in this case, I wrote this little extra note about it which helped me save face...a little.)

Planned Movements
Monday, August 19, 2013
Happiness found me at the Southern during the Rhythmically Speaking 2013 show this weekend. We inspired 400 audience members, 33 performers, 7 choreographers, 4 techs, 5 board members and 1 staff, and I plan to carry the energy generated by the show into my next projects!
Happiness is going to find me again amidst sadness as I leave MN to go back to CO for the start of my second year of grad school, but NOT before I go to the STATE FAIR and the wedding of two of my dear high school friends. I'm going to do everything I can to soak up every moment . . .

This Instant Pot Potato Soup is pure comfort food and I love the fact that you can set the Instant Pot and walk away without babysitting this soup on the stove.
Days like today are pure perfection in my book. Light fluffy snow is falling outside our living room window, the baby and I are snuggled up with a nice warm blanket on the couch spending the morning together and I've got a warm mug of hot coco in hand. (I started Keto this week so mine's a keto friendly hot chocolate but still tasty!)
Jackson has been extra cuddly the past few days so a lot of my time has been soothing a fussy baby and keeping him close to my chest for most of the day, which is where is snuggles up and feels content.
However, I'm taking just a tad bit of time today to share this Instant Pot Potato Soup recipe with y'all. No worries though, the little guy is right here beside me, still getting ALL THE SNUGGLES. haha
I made this potato soup a week or so ago, because Thomas was really craving potato soup and wanted to try out an Instant Pot version since we've been loving that thing lately!
I used our favorite Loaded Baked Potato Chowder recipe as my starting point and just kind of winged it the first time I made this. It turned out pretty good so that's the recipe that we stuck with a tested a few times.
- I use a 6 quart Instant Pot for all of my Instant Pot recipes.
- We used Russet Potatoes for our soup but you can use which ever kind you like.
- I didn't peel the potatoes to keep the nutrients and because that's just how we like our soup. You can totally peel the potatoes if you want.
- Badia Complete Seasoning is one of my favorite seasonings for everything. You don't have to use this particular seasoning, you can use your favorite "All in Seasoning".
- I used whole milk because that's what we drink, however you can use whichever you like.
- I use onion powder in all of my recipes because my husband can't eat onion piece, (he gets sick) but if you'd rather have onion pieces in your soup, just saute up some chopped onion and add it to the soup before putting it under pressure.
- This soup will get super thick as it cools. If you're reheating leftovers, add a bit of milk or broth to it as you're warming it up.

text: Every year the Maxprog company closes its doors for a month or so. It is the time for enjoying life a bit, far from the internet and all the technologies alike. Last year we were closed almost during all March. This year it will be from June 6 to July 9 both inclusive, please take note! During that time I will do support as usual BUT I will connect to the internet from time to time, maybe twice a week. You can't really enjoy holidays if you are working as the rest of the year. The ideal would be not connecting at all.\r\n\r\nActually in the last 16 years I have never been able to get really disconnected more than 2 or 3 days, I envy the people that can do that, really, you know, on the beach, reading a book, spending all the time with your family. Well that's not really my case since half of my brain always remain in Maxprog. I am sure you understand what I am talking about. I am in charge of a department, it is my duty and I can't really stop thinking about it.\r\n\r\nEach time I go for holidays I have to prepare everything months in advance, usually optimizing things, publishing tutorials and releasing very stable versions of all the software. The idea is to reduce support as much as possible because it may take some time for the customers to get a response. This year is not an exception, Maxprog will even have to release 64-bit versions of all the products since next macOS version will no longer run 32-bit's anymore. We have 3 months to get everything in place before leaving.\r\n\r\nWhen travelling I have to carry a laptop with me and connect as many time as I can looking for a compromise between my holiday time and the company's customers needs. But it may be even more complicated than that depending on where you decide to go. Indeed there are places where very easy things can be much more complex to accomplish, specially connecting to the internet.\r\n\r\nYes, believe me, there are places where it can take sometimes hours to get connected and hours to get your email downloaded. So, you are suposed to be enjoying your holidays BUT you need to spend all your time in front of a computer. This kind of place is not compatible with remote working at all. This is really frustrating. Everybody on the beach but you going from bad to worse. You end stressed and angry. Your family will know. Imagine the rest of the story.\r\n\r\nSo, since I will be (again) in that situation I will try to make internet connections as rare as possible. I will try to eliminate the need to contact me as posible but if you do during those dates just remember, I am not in my office. You will have to wait, as I do.\r\n\r\nRemember, from June 6 to July 9. I will very likely post a reminder before I leave. You can even try to guess where I go, where I used to go once a year...\r\n\r\nHave a great week-end.

[Ying Chen, Wei-quan Su/Taipei] Korean idol group Super Junior (abbreviated SJ) became the best-selling J-Pop/K-Pop* artist in Taiwan with their album "Bonamana", selling 57,000 copies, making the girls of Wonder Girls and Girls' Generation bow out.** Among Japanese singers, Hamasaki Ayumi beat out Amuro Namie to take the crown, but neither sold over 10,000 copies in Taiwan. SJ's "Bonamana" sold 7000 more copies than Wonder Girls, and third place among Korean album sales was the Korean drama OST for "You're Beautiful", arguably a black horse.
2010 Korean Album Sales in Taiwan***
1. Super Junior "Bonamana", 57,000 copies sold
2. Wonder Girls "Wonder Girls Super Hits CD+DVD" 50,000 copies sold
3. Korean Drama OST "You're Beautiful" 40,000 copies sold
4. Girls' Generation "Oh!" 37,000 copies sold
5. SHINee "Lucifer" 30,000 copies sold
Period of calculation: January 1, 2010-December 15, 2010
Source: Major CD vendors/data organized by Apple Daily
*Taiwan's charts group J-pop and K-pop together into what they call the dong yang (literally, "East ocean") charts, so there's no real direct translation.
**It's an idiom that basically means to bow and admit defeat, in this case it's not literal of course, but pointing to the fact that WG and SNSD's sales were lower than SJ's.
*** I believe that this is combined sales of all versions, including B and repackages.
